It was how the hell was I supposed to hit
00:04
with that helmet on?
00:05
And he admitted that he was paranoid
00:08
after getting hit in the face with the ball.
00:11
It happens, man.
00:12
People think baseball is like T-ball or something.
00:14
Like you're watching on TV.
00:15
It's like, oh, you know, baseball is a kid's game.
00:17
And oh, you played little league baseball.
00:20
Yeah, and when you played little league baseball,
00:22
pitchers weren't throwing the ball 104 miles an hour.
00:26
Like there's barely enough time to get out of the way.
00:28
So you just sort of have to pray that the pitcher
00:31
doesn't like lose control of the baseball.
00:33
I mean, that Miller dude on the athletics,
00:35
the guy's throwing, didn't he hit 106?
00:39
It's almost like the Sid Finch Sports Illustrated,
00:42
the fake, the April Fool's, the April Fool's pitcher.
00:46
I think Mason, like, I gotta look that up actually.
00:49
What did Mason's last pitch in Oakland?
00:52
Like he let it rip.
00:53
Like it was the last pitch of the last home game.
00:56
I think he hit.
00:58
I'm pretty sure he hit like a high 105, low.
01:00
I think he hit 106.
01:02
You remember in the all-star game, he hit 104.
01:05
So it's not like impossible for him,
01:07
like the last pitch in Oakland where he just said,
01:09
all right, this is the ultimate pitch of all pitches
01:12
that I'm gonna let this son of a bitch rip.
01:15
Man, that guy's scary.
01:16
I wouldn't want to stand up in a box.
01:17
Like I'd rather get tackled in an NFL football game
01:20
than face some of these baseball pitchers
01:22
and stand in the box, point blank.
01:28
I don't know.
