This is the first time I ever heard “you learn to beat lineups and not hitters” of course it came from Maddux

Maddox being honest is saying "I only have to get 27 outs"....of course he's always thinking complete game......at maybe 100 pitches.

"You learn how to beat line ups, and not hitters" - Greg Maddux. True team player. Words of wisdom.

What I remember about watching Bonds in his prime was that he got so few pitches to hit. Maybe one or two a game. But, when he got one he never missed it.

Maddux was a genius

Anyone intentional walked with bases loaded should automatically be in the Hall of Fame.

0:11 "thats the farthest ball ive ever seen hit"

Glad Sheffield got mentioned. Im a bit biased as he was my favorite player but he was dangerous at the plate. Should be in the hall of Fame. Dude was one of the best for a long time.

Maddux such an intelligent baseball and pitching mind, if I can keep Barry bonds in the ballpark I win! Wow exactly 💯💯💯

The jacked/body armor late 30s Bonds was the only athlete that's ever seemed superhuman to me. And will probably never see anything like it again

Billy Wagner , HOF in my book. Guy could bring the heat 🔥

@tumuch8936 2 years ago

That Bonds/Smoltz story at the end is epic!! 🤣

@danielives379 2 years ago

Imagine the year Barry hit 73 HR's..
IF the pitchers woulda pitched to him , he may have hit a 100 HR. 😂
