00:00It was how the hell was I supposed to hit

00:04with that helmet on?

00:05And he admitted that he was paranoid

00:08after getting hit in the face with the ball.

00:11It happens, man.

00:12People think baseball is like T-ball or something.

00:14Like you're watching on TV.

00:15It's like, oh, you know, baseball is a kid's game.

00:17And oh, you played little league baseball.

00:20Yeah, and when you played little league baseball,

00:22pitchers weren't throwing the ball 104 miles an hour.

00:26Like there's barely enough time to get out of the way.

00:28So you just sort of have to pray that the pitcher

00:31doesn't like lose control of the baseball.

00:33I mean, that Miller dude on the athletics,

00:35the guy's throwing, didn't he hit 106?

00:39It's almost like the Sid Finch Sports Illustrated,

00:42the fake, the April Fool's, the April Fool's pitcher.

00:46I think Mason, like, I gotta look that up actually.

00:49What did Mason's last pitch in Oakland?

00:52Like he let it rip.

00:53Like it was the last pitch of the last home game.

00:56I think he hit.

00:58I'm pretty sure he hit like a high 105, low.

01:00I think he hit 106.

01:02You remember in the all-star game, he hit 104.

01:05So it's not like impossible for him,

01:07like the last pitch in Oakland where he just said,

01:09all right, this is the ultimate pitch of all pitches

01:12that I'm gonna let this son of a bitch rip.

01:15Man, that guy's scary.

01:16I wouldn't want to stand up in a box.

01:17Like I'd rather get tackled in an NFL football game

01:20than face some of these baseball pitchers

01:22and stand in the box, point blank.
