Personal Keuchel anecdote. I'm an Astros fan and went to their spring training complex in the spring of 2018. Caught a ST game and left around the 7th inning. As I was in my rental car leaving the parking lot, this super customized white Mercedes G Wagon rolls past me and I look over and Keuchel is driving it. He was with some lady. I waved at him and he smiled and gave me a peace sign. Pretty neat

@orangehoof Год назад

Another Keuchel anecdote. He was in the bullpen one game and there was a (NY?) fan letting him have it - telling him how worthless he was and that all pitchers are overpaid. This, however, didn't stop the fan from wanting Keuchel's autograph so he sign it "Thanks for helping to pay my salary."

@Gemnist98 Год назад

@@the1mexicant I think it’s more that other pitchers stole the spotlight. Remember, Keuchel’s Cy Young season came in 2015 when the Astros returned to the playoffs. He was also on the 2017 team. But since then, Justin Verlander has really been the face of the Astros’ pitching. Since they won their first World Series, he’s been a constant among the many pitching changes the Astros have gone through, not to mention the fact that he’s a Hall of Fame talent. Speaking of Hall of Fame talent, I think that’s another reason as to why Arrieta’s stood out so much. He didn’t just win a Cy Young, win the World Series, and then fall off. He beat two Hall of Fame Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, to do it. And they were both in their prime at the time. Keuchel’s competition was almost nothing in comparison.

@eatcrab9565 Год назад

Keuchel gets more press because of his peak seasons, but the more interesting pitcher of that Astros era to me is Collin McHugh who is kind of a chameleon that continues to reinvent himself as a pitcher throughout his career. He's probably the earliest example of a pitcher that the Astros "unlocked" after teams like the Mets and Rockies gave up on him. He was also one of the earlier example of how pitchers can dramatically improve bit eliminating a pitch in their arsenal, rather than adding a pitch

@deathminder9206 Год назад

I agree. Baseball has learned refining your best pitches is the better option. For most of my life the belief was you need more pitches. Look at Javier dominating as a starter with 3 pitches of which he really only uses 2.

A lot of Astros fans here, myself included. I remember him being the definitive ace of our team, even when we acquired Verlander. He was incredibly entertaining, and to be blunt, we would not have made the playoffs in 2015 without him. Ultimately, given his regression, we were right to let him go, but it’s still a major shame. I do hope, given his Cy Young and seven-year tenure, that he’s eventually elected into the Astros Hall of Fame.

@jamesmcv Год назад

The year Keuchel won the Cy Young, you could see the knife edge that he pitched on. He worked on pin point control, keeping the ball down generally, and a slight variety of looks/pitches to keep hitters off balance. If any part of that equation fails, he isn't just no longer a great pitcher, but one would struggle to even stay in the majors. Still, as an Astros fan that one game playoff he pitched against the Yankees was magnificent.

@orangehoof Год назад

Keuchel mastered hitting the edge of the black, particularly against righty hitters and the sinker then gave him a 1-2 punch that dominated the league. But he never had overpowering velocity and, once you lose that location, you can go downhill pretty fast. I think Jeff Luhnow knew he wasn't going to pay top dollar for a pitcher who barely topped 90 MPH and he became the first in another way - the first of many Astros stars in the 2015-present era who walked in free agency - starting with Keuchel then George Springer, Gerrit Cole and Carlos Correa. The only Astros free agent who made them regret letting the player walk was Charlie Morton.

@Korijenkins1414 Год назад

I don't think they regretted letting Morton walk. Outside of maybe the ALCS in 2020 (I say maybe because that series was weird in an even weirder season), there wasn't really a time he was responsible for their defeat. In 2019 his win against them didn't end up mattering, and in 2021 he broke his leg 3 innings into the only game he pitched against them.

@knightrider693 Год назад

Here's an interesting "what if" video for you. The White Sox had a young outfielder who had power but hit a frustrating .203 for them in 1991. During the winter, the White Sox almost dealt this player to the Astros for Mark Portugal. Instead, they traded him later that winter for George Bell. That player was Sammy Sosa. Imagine what the 1992-2005 Astros could have been with Sosa around Bagwell, Biggio, Caminiti, Berkman, etc.

@Josh-ut4wv Год назад

Dallas Keuchel is one of the early players that without him the Astros come out very different the other being Jose Altuve which he came up a bit earlier. Now one thing you did forget to mention is he has dominated the Gold glove award at the pitcher spot throughout his career winning several 2014-2016, 2018, and 2021 which is pretty crazy. Now that 2015 run was magical and very rare and it could have gone on if it hadnt been for two guys *cough* *cough* Sipp and Harris who couldnt get an out causing the Royals to come back in the 8th and send it to game 5 and if that hadn;t happened the Astros would have gone to the ALCS and might have gone to the World Series as they were that close to beating that year's world series winner the Royals. Now 2017 was when everything of 2015 came together even better sure there was sign stealing but there was sign stealing before and after that *glares at the Yankees from 2015-2016 and Red Socks for 2018* but even with that the starting pitching was able to limit the dodgers in many games at dodgers stadium which Keuchel, Verlander and McCullers along with other pitchers were able to lead throughout that season or half season for verlander a dominate team though compared to pitching after this year they only got better. I think Keuchel's better days are behind him but he was and still is a very important building block to the Houston Astros.

@robertbeck8585 Год назад

He’s a lot like Grienke. His stuff lost velocity and just hangs out there for hitters to connect with. But when he was in his prime his stuff was nasty.

@RobeezyLoudenProud Год назад

I do miss Keuchel, but I think if he didn't walk away, we wouldn't have Framber Valdez come up. I think Framber does what Keuchel did for us back then but with more velocity and break. There's some concern that the shift ban will affect his gameplan getting groundouts, but I don't think it'll be as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.

I wanna see a video on Felix Hernandez. A dominant pitcher for around a decade with 6 All Star selections, a Cy Young award and a perfect game under his belt. One of the best pitchers of the last 20 years. But over his Seattle Mariners career the run support from the M’s offense was so poor it was unbelievable. As of 2016, Felix had 45 career starts where he averaged 7.0ip and allowed 0 or 1 ER’s and did not pickup the win. He never won 20 games in a season yet a season like 2010 he had 34 starts, 249.2innings pitched, 232k’s, a staggering 2.27era yet he finished with a record of 13-12, didn’t get an All Star selection yet won his only Cy Young. The Mariners never made the playoffs during his 15 seasons in Seattle (not by his fault what so ever) and once Felix injured his throwing elbow and came back without the same velocity in his fastball, his career really took a hit. Sad to see how King Felix’s career came to an end with just how unbelievably dominant he was for a solid decade. I’d love to see u do a video on him. As a lifelong M’s fan, I hold Felix in the highest regards and hope he can somehow make the Hall of Fame

@fredaaron762 Год назад

Dallas Keuchel's career trajectory looks eerily similar to 1976 Cy Young Award winner Randy Jones. He joined a pretty awful San Diego Padres team in 1973 (the same year as some guy named Dave Winfield) and proceeded to lead the to relevance (even if they didn't make the playoffs since in those days, only the division winners got to play postseason ball). He had an awful 1974 leading the league in losses before having back-to-back 20 game winning season in 1975 and 1976. Like Keuchel, Jones was a lefty starter who relied more on guile and control than power pitching. However, Jones never racked up the strikeout numbers like Keuchel. He did have some really good seasons before getting traded to the Mets before the 1981 season. He'd make his last career start on August 10, 1982 against the Cardinals walking three straight batters in the first inning and giving up four runs while retiring one batter. After that he was relegated to mopup work in bullpen.

I gotta wonder if that heavy workload caused some injuries in his throwing arm.

@unkledoda420 Год назад

There's plenty of pitchers who threw more innings than Keuchel and their arms are fine. Why is it that every time some pitcher gets hurt everyone wants to bitch that it's obviously because x number of seasons ago he pitched blah blah blah number of innings? MAYBE if you're talking about a guy who throws 95-100 mph but Keuchel is far from that. In all likelihood his recent struggles are a direct result of something that happened or a change he's made more recently than how many innings he threw several years prior. The sticky stuff ban seems like it may have affected him too, at least based on the timing of his problems.

I'm 36 years old. It's a strange feeling to watch all the players roughly the same age as me having already peaked in their baseball careers. Now I'm watching them slowly peter out.

Steve Stone mentioned, my trainer told me you can pitch another 5 years or win the cy young this year and never pitch affectedly again. well he won the cy young and was never the same on the mound again.

do a video on why lefty wind-ups looks so unique compared to righty wind-ups

Just watching the last couple years clips it looks like all of his pitches have lost movement and they are just kinda sitting there. i wonder if its a velocity issue or if something changed form wise.

I was always fascinated by Marco Estradas career

@juanbarreda480 Год назад

He started to focus on all the mechanics of his pitching until they all fell apart. Now instead of one complete movement to throw the ball, he throws the ball with every mechanic in mind and it’s not cohesive. Chatter on his mind is responsible for his downfall. Read chapter 2 of the book chatter by Ethan Kross

For a reasonable price, I would love to see the M's sign him. Mostly for the veteran leadership, but heck, if he could manage to turn back the clock even a little bit, that's great.

@vampiricace8827 Год назад

Just as a nats fan could it be that pitchers just can’t pitch 250 innings/ get over used late in the year without messing their consistency in some way, same seemed to happen with Patrick corbin post 2019 got used heavy towards the end of the year especially the playoffs

@xylynthian753 Год назад

Never forget that in 2019 NLDS, the Braves decided to start Dallas Keuchel and Mike Foltynewicz twice in a 5 game series. To this day, I still don't understand what the fuck Snitker was thinking.

@calebthomas2345 Год назад

I’m a die hard cubs fan obviously! But, I’m also a die hard Razorback fan in college sports and Keuchel played college ball for my omahogs so I loved when he was so successful in MLB but I hate he’s fell apart now.

0:12 it was a laser but barely got out of there. “Mammoth” home runs to left in Cleveland go half way up the bleachers/clear the home run porch my opinion*

@deathminder9206 Год назад

I like how you said the system did him dirty while on the screen it flashed the 5 yr 90mil offer he rejected. Glad we dodged that contract.

@jmihendrix4 Год назад

Have you done a video on David Price ?

@arielbaez671 Год назад

I feel like the NYY should give him a shot and try him out for a mi or league deal with upsides and incentive laden guarantees if he makes it to the league and pitches well.

“Just 7 short years ago”??? That’s longer than the average MLB career!!

@T10356 Год назад

Can you do a video on the career of Blake swihart it’s really sad how he turned out

@matthewbolin9646 Год назад

You say in both the video and video description “What happened”, but don’t say anything about what actually did happen to turn him so quickly into the worst pitcher in MLB. Not even a sentence of speculation. So: what happened? Was it age? Injuries? Did his pitch selection change? His arm slot? His velocity? I was expecting at least something talking about it in this video, but all we got was a career summary without anything on a possible explanation…

@Anthony-un4yz Год назад

His decline began 3 years before the White Sox signed him. That's on the WS front office. His numbers said he'd be bad, not good, not serviceable, bad. They got maybe one decent season out of him.
