Yadier Molina PITCHES the entire 9th inning for the Cardinals! (Pujols helps him warm up!) 

Haha Yes, that's actually true

He would have been hitting Chapman numbers doing it too LOL

😁😁😁😁😁

i hope the pirates people tracked them down and gave them tickets to another game. A) rain B) score That kid deserves another chance to see an actual baseball game. nice grab!

p⁰

@@Bologna_Bo they were pirates fans why would they throw it back? thats not how it works.

Best part of the whole video.

Be funny if Zack hample just came in and mossed him

If you think about it that ball that the little kid got on that home run just might be worth something in the future. One of the only balls where Yadier Molina was pitching and the batter hit a home run?? that's gotta be a rare category

36.00 era 😬

@@riffraff1721 a rough first outing. Still, his 55 mph slider and 46 mph curveball are unhittable when he throws them right

@@riffraff1721 him and Albert have the same ERA 😂😂😂

Literally the exact same joke you said when Pujols pitched brah

They've got plenty more changes against the Bucs... this might actually be the worst the pitching staff has been since I can remember. So many ridiculous blow-outs. Whatever "rebuild" they're attempting, they seem content to rival the 20 straight losing seasons pre-2013. Kinda depressing time as a Burgh sports fan. Ben is gone, Penguins blew a 3-1 lead and the legendary Crosby/Malkin duo might be done. Yet another year, all we've got is the Pirates stinking it up.

@@nahor88 When I was a kid the Steelers were great. You could go back and watch some old Bradshaw vids. :)

18-1? Did Pirates just sleeping through out the games?

@@nahor88 there's always light at the end of the tunnel hang in there 🙏🏽

@@FALL-LAFF-7477 why did you write 18 - 1? It was 18 - 0 when he came it to pitch. And yeah they weren’t sleeping their pitching is just horrible this year. Probably going to be many more games like that this year for the Pirates unfortunately.

Totally agree. Won't be another Yadi/Wainwright team. Much love for the Cardinals and Missouri (Home) I told my wife I have to try to go see them before they are gone. Missed the chance when I was little to go watch Nolan Ryan. I did catch Nirvana tho.

with Pujols back to have a final year together, it's nice as someone from St. Louis, I've been to many games watching them

Puts a smile to my heart that the Cards are giving Molina and Pujols one last ride before saying goodbye. Im crying manly tears of joy 😂

@@Corn-Pop. kinda hits you hard when your sports heroes started retiring one by one right? 😢

Bro I didnt watch baseball from like 2009- 2019. I started again 2020 and immediatly noticed yadi is a beast. Hes without doubte my favorite player. Hes got an absolute cannon for an arm, and one of the highest caught stolen bases in the league at 40%. Great personality. Love watching him behind the plate. If he doesnt make HoF by himself, they have to at least acknowledge the 3 Molina brothers. All family, playing at the same time. Different teams. Thats what the hall of fame is about. Its not just about highest stats. Its about impact and a memorial to the cool and interesting things of the current time of baseball. Thats why we hold babe ruth in such high reguard. Of course there's still gonna be the highest rbi, ko, and home run records, but the hall of fame is about the overall interest of the the game and the players at that time. You cant talk about the true history of baseball without babe ruth. The bash bros. Barry bonds. Reguardless of if they have the highest records in 10 years, they inspired the next generation and they are a part of the history. And thats what its all about.. Anyways. To kake a long statement longer, absolutly love that they let molina pitch. Hope he has an amazing rest of his career. True legend in my eyes.

ikr

Uhhhh hate to say it but this is yadis last year

@@Jax11013 that’s the joke

He’s insane

@@Jax11013 It's alright to laugh every now and then.

I wish pitchers are more like Yadi, i.e. they quickly pitch instead of scratch their head, hands, fix their shirt, lick their fingers, take deep breathes, and much more which lasts for like 2 mins per pitch. I wish MLB speeds up the game in the regular season at least. In the playoffs they can slow it down if they want.

Yes

@@Name-jw4sj pitchers are creatures of habit they need their routine no different than preparing to shoot free throws

@@Name-jw4sj Agreed. A shot clock should be implemented. Didn't they do that for college baseball already?

@@Name-jw4sj hes not throwing with effort and intent. I would love to see you try to throw max effort for around 100 throws without much rest in-between

yeah. gonna be the best closer in history

Wainwright will definitely get a few at bats this year , maybe towards the end of the season.

They should have had him catch for Yadi lol that would be cool to see.

Wayne-O could do DH. He is a homerun hitting putcher

Pitcher

Both DH he's going yard a catching throw out at second

If you want to see a position player throw some gas while pitching, look up Chris Davis’s appearance against the Red Sox. He got Adrian Gonzalez on a legitimate swinging strikeout.

If he could pitch from his knees, he’d probably be able to pain the zone a little bit.

I have wondered about that but I think those guys have noticed that the difference in ball speed creates a bit of a problem. I certainly noticed the home run count goes up with 60mph pitches.

Uhh, I seriously doubt it’s at 100mph, Scooter. Good catcher, though.

Yadi needs to pitch from a squatting position behind 2nd base. Wayyyy more strikes!!!!

Couldn’t agree more 🥰. The magic ability of professional sports to inspire kids. When we lose sight of that, it all goes to s@#t

Repent to Jesus Christ “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Facts

He already signed in south america as a coach.

Enjoy! Time flies and my son has his own family. But we still share baseball. Something we did soon as he could swing a plastic bat and catch whiffle balls, tennis balls, then baseballs. Makes great memories.

HOF catcher.

Overrated

and he wasnt before?

@@RO-pg9hw

@@DM-qd7gw Nah, I have seen catchers who are much better than Molina. Not saying he isn't good, he is. Just not as good as Crydinal fans make him out to be I get that he played for your team all those years but playing for the Cardinals seems to make you look at him thru rose colored glasses. Pudge was WAAAY better..

New pitchers tutorial to be followed to the letter effective immediately.

MLB would be so much faster with pitchers like him. It would be cool to see a starting pitcher go that fast.

Batters don’t even have time to tap the bat on their cleats and adjust their batting gloves between every pitch. I like it

The batters are just as guilty, stepping out of the box after every other pitch.

It would also be interesting if there was a baseball league that forced all pitchers to go fast. Austin Matthews of the Maple Leafs dad said he quit baseball because it was too slow.

Your team should disappear

fun doesn’t pay the bills and make money

This Is The First Time I Seeing Albert Pujols & Yander Molina Pitching In Their Legendary Career.

Maybe they can make it 3 with Wainwright hitting in the DH 😂

Underrated comment right here😂👏

I was just gonna say this. Dude can throw 90 mph rockets from his knees…

It’s too bad he didn’t try that on the mound. I wonder if that would be a Balk???

​​@Sam I am balked every pitch a player was on base. He never came close to a set

​@@samiam619 they were not calling balks in that moment 😮

😂😂that's funny lol. it's like the umpires don't even consider him subject to the rules pitchers are held to.

I don't believe it's a balk if every pitch is the same

@@wolfiezzgaming7045 also not a balk if no one is on base

Considering the weather was getting worse and everyone probably was ready to go home, I'm guessing the umps would've let Yadi break all the balk rules before actually calling one.

@@wolfiezzgaming7045 You still have to come to a complete and discernible stop when coming set. I think he was close to balking, but it did look like he came set for all of his pitches. That said, he probably had the best pace of play from any of the pitchers. Also, 18-0 to start with... with a non-pitcher pitching who isn't even looking to keep runners at their base... I think we'd rather go home than balk him.

Nolan Arenado next perhaps?

Yadi has been in the majors for 19 years. shouldn't you be 29?

@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM I’m a math wizard lmao.

They said in the video Yadi started in '04 which is 18 years. The guy could just have a late bday

Late November lol

@@AllThingsMets9 obviously sarcasm

As a life long Dodgers fan, I've always hated (not really...) Buster Posey, but after his retirement, you just have to recognize a legend.

As a Red Sox fan, I’ve always hated (not really…) Derek Jeter, but after his retirement, you just have to recognize a legend

Well, I “hated” Johnny Bench, so we’re even. LOL

LOL we're all some haters

I'm a Cards guy that recently came around on Votto. The sport's great ones trancend rivalry.

Exactly

🤣🤣

I"m also a lifelong Cards fan (probably because my parents & grandparents were AND because I was blessed to be able to attend games at Busch Stadium). Yadi has been my favorite player since the beginning of his career. My big brother said I was akin to a traitor. We were both born in Chicago (although we moved to Spfld area as toddlers) and he felt it our "duty" to be Cubs fans, lol.

There'd be a passed ball like every other pitch

Lol

No a bad team the pirates
