Relationship with MLB Managers 

Can you talk about all of the support workers and the people behind the scenes of the team. I am talking about trainers, doctors, sport psychologist, grounds crew, anyone like that. How did they help you or your relationships with them, to play and improve your game. thanks.

The skill of remembering personal things people tell you is absolutely super valuable in ANY job and in life in general. It's so rare these days of Instagram and online communication that when you display it even a little bit, it is appreciated by everyone.

As a Rockies fan it makes my heart happy to hear you speak so highly of Buddy! Nice to know he really is as good of a guy as he seems.

Thank you for confirming what I always suspected about Jim Riggleman’s personality. Goes to show why some managers are successful while others just kinda knock around gig to gig.

Is it possible to do a video about recognition of pitches out of the hand? Love the videos thanks Matty A

This is such a great channel! So many things I didn't know lol

First base tips and other tips you give for a first basemen. Please answer this questions if you don't it's cool!😃

Were you treated any differently by a player because you were competing for the same position?

Do a vid about your experience as a youth player. Were you the top player on most of your teams? Or did you struggle and then blossom later? Thank you!

Great vid as always!

Do a vid about your agent and how you got him and what he did for you

Thanks so much for the high qouality vids!

Yeah Matt would make a good coach. Just as an aside, probably the best manager in the MLB was the late Billy Martin. And although Martin (number 1 on his jersey!) had a reputation both as a boozer and a fighter he also had an uncany understanding of the game. RIGHT AS IT'S HAPPENING. Martin could tell if the centerfielder's shoes weren't laced tight enough. Meanwhile calling a suicide squeeze. Or a double steal. Martin had the best head for baseball of anyone. Including even his own mentor Casey Stengel. The funniest thing Billy Martin ever did was when his base runner Mickey Rivers was ruled out by the second base umpire for not stepping on 2nd base. Martin runs way out on the field and then yells at the ump like he's really angry but instead goes, "I know that Rivers missed second and I'm gonna fine him 500 bucks but we're on national television right now and we both gotta PRETEND that we're having a fight..." That really happened. Martin was not the jerk who people said he was. He was a great guy and baseball hasn't been the same since his untimely pssing.

Buck is a very quiet guy. I love him! Lol

Great video!

What about players having illness doctors care in mlb ??

Hey Matt, about how many hours a day did u workout and practice, and how many days a week? (High school, college)

How often did you practice during the season

So what kinda coach are you? Didn't really say. I'm definitely a players coach. Gotta have fun and teach at the same time I believe or you won't get the best out of your guys.

What it’s like playing with a superstar player. Were they treated different then everyone else?

What year did he get drafted again?

You kinda look like Mike Foltynewicz

Well the two polar opposites would be players coach like Bud. Terri Franconia. Don't talk to me just do your job Lou Pinella. Lol I could be wrong on sweet Lue but my money is on that type

You look like Ian Happ from the cubs

Watching this testimony and the differences among managers and how they treated players reminds me of what matters in this life. Love the LORD first. Love each other after that. And the world is a beautiful place.

Did you play with any gay players?

Everything is heard about Washington from you videos makes me dislike them hahaha. Everything about them sounds terrible

Hey, Matt, if it's not too personal, could you do a video on how/if playing in the majors affected your relationship with travel and such? Thanks!

You're a good guy! Thanks for sharing this.

When you played at 7:05 what time did you have to be at the park by?

Thanks for making a video on my suggestion/question!! Keep up the great content :)

He sounds like an amazing coach! As a manager in my office I have the same mindset: make them feel special, know I'm looking out for them, they can talk to me about anything, and that I'm trying to develop them and have them grow - even if it means leaving our department for another role. No need to be authoritative, cold, not communicating well. Be a leader for them, not a "boss"

The best Chanel on RU-vid

How does the whole agent situation work? Like, when do you get one, how do you get one etc??

The Red Sox did Tito so dirty. They could have just let him go but they couldn't do it they just had to kick him in the ass on his way out, disgusting.

Everyone loves Tito! Go Cleveland!!

do you now joey wendle ?

Why can't I hit anymore, I used to always lead the league in hitting and home runs but now I really have a hard time hitting a ball squarely, What is the best drill or anything that can bring back the magic? Is hitting off of a tee really help at all? Did you ever play against or Meet Miggy Cabrera or face Verlander?

Can you do a video on pitchers throwing deliberately at batters. Who decides that...what are the causes...when is the appropriate time, etc. I hear it's "part of the game" but would love to hear how the process develops. Really enjoy you videos.

That is so Buck Showalter at 7:50. There are numerous stories about situational baseball and him teaching like that.

Talk about adderall in baseball.

it seems crazy that the manager wouldnt know who you were, would they rely on the bench coach then to use you sub then ?

Thank you for the video, Matt. Were there any types of injuries that happened more often, depending on position? For example, did any position of your teammates have back injuries more often than others?

When did you realize that your career wasn’t going anywhere and how the transition started from player to coaching

Love your vids and channel, great info we'd never get to here otherwise. Keep it up a lot of people really dig it :D

do you have any of your baseball cards?

Just spent over 4 hours watching your videos. Was looking for some hitting tips and I saw your videos on questions being asked to you. Every single one was entertaining. Thanks for taking out the time and talking to your fans. Keep the videos coming and hopefully your hitting tips help me out in the field. Good luck

Ever make a video as to; Why do you see BP bats or even fungos with taped barrels ? Does it effect spin or weight or cosmetic look ??

Can you make a video explaining why some players ignore the ball after the other team hits a walk off? I don't understand why they do that...

From a coaching perspective, which manager style did you think actually gets the best out of guys? I imagine there's pros and cons to both.
