Was switching from catcher to pitcher the right move for Dave Stewart?

@bh7286 4 года назад

FAIR GAME lol..but for real doe

FAIR GAME Definitely!!!

Absolutely.

@AJHyoton 3 года назад

Well, we don't know Terry Steinbach's nickname, and the only catcher I remember with any nickname had his as "Pudge."

No....

@promeitheus 3 года назад

Always loved Dave Stewart. He was the best in his time

@alton31ellis 2 года назад

I was confused at first because I thought that the host and he were a mismatch but by the end I felt that we had learned more about him and about a different side of him then if he had been interviewed by an MLB player or manager, former or current. Goes to show you that a good interviewer need not be an expert on the topic of discussion, but rather a good listener who is inquisitive, asks the right questions and let’s the subject speak without interruption. Well done!

@wi54725 3 года назад

Dave is a really kind man. I hope his efforts to bring an expansion team to Nashville works, and he can be a team President.

@alfredmcglothen6050 4 года назад

Great transition. In my view, David Stewart was one of the most underrated and best pitchers to ever do it.

@alfredmcglothen6050 4 года назад

Should be in the hall of fame.

@@alfredmcglothen6050 1st half of his career was very mediocre, second half was HOF worthy.

@Rangerfan11 2 года назад

Yes i agree! He was great when the A’s were good with Canseco and Mark Mac.

@kennethbailey6634 2 года назад

true

@robertcenzer6679 Год назад

@@KTF0 He was a low ball pitcher who got a lot of ground balls. He didnt start winning big until Walt Weiss was at shortstop.

@blackhawkswincup2010 3 года назад

I remember Jay Johnstone's comment about Dave Stewart: "I don't know anybody who doesn't like Stew and that high-pitched voice of his."

@jameshar9592 3 года назад

On June 29, 1990 tosses No-hitter in the morning...Fernando Valenzuela tosses No-hitter vs St. Louis that evening.....former Dodger...loved Dave Stewart...

Dave Stewart was a great pitcher for the A’s. Those World Series years.

David was awesome he pitched some very big innings!!

@davidrudd6550 2 года назад

Great chemistry in the interview

@twogamer7149 3 года назад

Passing football and basketball scholarships with a catcher career in mind, and only to be told he would not catch at the camp. Not with his wildest dream that Koufax could transform him to a star pitcher. What an inspiring story!

Great guy. Wonderful pitcher. Would've liked to know about how Sandy helped break down Dave's mechanics to become the pitcher he became.

Nothing like mom’s food. ❤️ My mother cooks amazing Italian food even though she’s an Irish woman. Fresh home cooked food is a way of life in my household. I didn’t try Taco Bell until I was 18-19 🤣. I still don’t eat fast food.

@Sabercats12 3 года назад

Having a Hall of Fame closer follow you wasn't bad either. He still remains the last pitcher to have 4 consecutive 20 win seasons.

@Padoinky Год назад

Love these behind the professionals facade insider scoop interviews. Guy must have been a phenomenal national athlete. The host is IMHO, a great interviewer, asking questions that that are pertinent to the average fan. Nicely done!

A legend

One of the most genuine guys I've ever met. What you see here on camera, he is exactly the same off camera.

@bradw7688 Год назад

Dave Stewart was a very focused pitcher. I had no idea he was a catcher. Great move making he a pitcher.

@Darknightdriver1 2 года назад

I really dislike the fact that people only bring up players who are inducted into the hall of fame. There are many hidden gem players who aren't in the hall of fame like Stew, Jack McDowell, Hershiser, Lofton, and many more that will make me last months and years listing them.

@Cincinnatus1869 2 года назад

Growing up , my favorite players were Dave Parker, Davey Concepcion, Dale Murphy ,Eric Davis, and Mario Soto. None of them are in the HoF and they probably never will be. People dismiss too many great players because of the HoF. You're exactly right

@emersonlangstaff1527 3 года назад

Great interviewer! Let's them talk, but fills in where appropriate. Dave always looked so mean, but was so nice...

@Zucchiniisdelicious10 Месяц назад

Excellent interview!

@24HeySay Год назад

Stew is awesome. A Bay Area treasure. He was sensational those years with the A's, one of the best big game pitchera of his time. Took down Dave Stieb and Roger Clemens twice each in the 1990 postseason. His honesty about being "nervous for 16 years" is refreshing, too. I still remember watching his no-hitter against Toronto. After the last pitch they interviewed him and sweat suddenly began pouring off his face and he was shaking, showing just how nervous he had been in that 9th inning alone.

@odellhill4684 4 года назад

Well if he's getting his jersey retired for pitching,then it's definitely the right idea

@ttenkrut 4 года назад

Great interview

@charleswinokoor6023 3 года назад

I don’t know why the interviewer is shocked that he was told he would be taking a bus back home instead of a flight if he insisted that he would not try to become a pitcher. I thought it was a pretty damned good response.

@dontdoittoyoself6786 3 года назад

Catchers are prideful. Getting them to do anything else is like pulling teeth.

@fasteddie9867 2 года назад

@charleswinokoor6023 3 года назад

Would it have killed her to ask a good question? And why is she so shocked at the comment by the team rep that he would be taking a bus home instead of a flight if he refused to become a pitcher? I think it was a good response.

'you were fasting before fasting was even a thing'. Brilliant insight-you may want to check your facts on that

@mandymanning3678 10 месяцев назад

i remember i throw a no hitter as a 16yr on a 18yr traveling team and my centerfielder and my short stop was getting look at by the pittsburg pirate and the guy gave me a invite to go work out at i believe it’s still called three river stadium and i was so nerves

@mandymanning3678 10 месяцев назад

he said u was consistently at 92/93 top 94 once and ur curve bal was 63 and ur slider was 85/86 and u spotted everything perfectly and i told them guys u just came off of a short rest and throw a no hitter they all thought i was 18 i was only 16 lol

@mandymanning3678 10 месяцев назад

but as i got to college and all of that and had many work outs flying me around i quickly realize there not going to draft me i was just under 6”foot and at my top point of being in shape 195 7% body fat was very fast and athletic they was always looking for the bigger guy which always got under my skin

@mandymanning3678 10 месяцев назад

so afterward these guys was say hey kid ur special i’m like man i was bless that day and the pitt guy come up to me and said where did that come from i said what do u mean

@mandymanning3678 10 месяцев назад

and i throw my first fast ball and it move about 6 inch and painted the outside corner and the mit echo i had never heard it snap like that so i get back on the mound they said something middle in same thing pow

@overwhamming 8 месяцев назад

Nice video title but he talks about Koufax for about 4 seconds.

@mandymanning3678 10 месяцев назад

and they said curve i throw 12/6 and it dove so hard it bounce on the plate and over the catch and he said throw that again so i did but i did bounce but land perfect

@mandymanning3678 10 месяцев назад

there would be a 6”6 260 pound left throwing 83mph was a half as curve and i’m throwing low 90s and very good off speed and two weeks later that guy would get draft and i would as the main scout hey man what more can i do he would just say work on ur body i was like well i’m not going to be 240 and be all muscle like what did that mean i took it as hey i know ur good but basically u need to throw 95/97 and i wasn’t never going to get that unless i juiced which if i thought that’s what they wanted i probably would’ve try it cause i seen people take winstraul and jump 5mph on there fast ball in hardly no time but i also seen a few guys completely blow there elbow out and was never the same but i always wounder could’ve i played in japan or a farm team but just never got over the hump like a lot of guys a lot better than me just sucks
