00:00Speaking of pitches this weekend, by the way.
00:02Oh, wait a minute.
00:03Okay.
00:03Look.
00:06I don't understand why people are making the.
00:12Don't give me that look, Tobin.
00:13What?
00:14How they're aligning and saying that Malik Willis' pitch
00:22at the Marlins-Phillies game on Friday night
00:25is going to be the way he'll be throwing the ball to receivers.
00:29It was a really bad first pitch, dude.
00:31It was a terrible first pitch.
00:33I said that.
00:34He is a professional thrower of things.
00:36And he.
00:38Wow.
00:39He likes to throw pick skins.
00:41I understand that.
00:42Not Rohine.
00:43I understand.
00:44We've seen plenty of people.
00:45Here's a couple of things that go into this, okay?
00:49Malik Willis is still a bit of a mystery to all of us, right?
00:53He's had three starts.
00:56So, we're kind of just flying blind here, trusting.
00:59Like, you can sit here and you can break down your film of the Ravens game
01:02if you want to.
01:03But we don't really know if the guy's going to be good.
01:06We hope.
01:06I hope that he is.
01:07You know, I hope Sully nailed it here, right?
01:10Because that's part of the thing.
01:11If you could get a quarterback on a decent contract, but, you know, I looked at that pitch
01:18and I was like, whoa.
01:20And if you guys didn't see it, here was the first pitch.
01:24Who was the, this was the, was it Kevin Barrell who put this out?
01:27This thing had like millions, millions of views.
01:31It was one of the most viral things of the weekend.
01:34Dude, they showed it all through SportsCenter Friday night.
01:37They showed it this morning, like it's all weekend.
01:40They've been showing Malik Willis' ceremonial.
01:44This is from Kevin Barrell from Fish on First, right?
01:48Kevin's video right now is 6.3 million views on Twitter.
01:54And this was the one, the, the, the, the, the, for the, for the viewing audience, he's got
02:00the, the Miami city edition Jersey.
02:03And he just, I mean, air mails it, but like not only air mails it just a bit outside air
02:10mails it and it goes way high and wide into the batter's box.
02:14Like not even close.
02:18No wind, no wind, no, like he, he just let that thing rip and it went.
02:26Now the chat is talking and they said if it was a former Miami Dolphin quarterback killed,
02:33he would have been destroyed.
02:35Dude.
02:36It would have been a block first, first story, a block in every short talk show.
02:41So it's talk show.
02:41First of all, bad first pitches are always going to go viral.
02:45Okay.
02:46It's one of these things that if you, if you don't do great, fine, but if you blow it,
02:53we're going to judge you.
02:54But here's the thing though.
02:57We're going to judge you, make fun of you as if you're an entertainer, like 50, Stephen
03:02A, you know, by the way, brother's not good at throwing first pitches.
03:07Well, here's the thing that was weird about it.
03:08Did you see, uh, the Marlins afterwards put up a video of him, him in the batting cage
03:13and he was practicing.
03:14He was strikes, right?
03:15He was no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:17They put a picture of him.
03:18They put up a video of him taking BP.
03:20Oh, he was hitting.
03:21He was raking, dude.
03:23He hit like one on nine on the exit velo.
03:26So that went great.
03:27The problem was nobody saw that.
03:28Uh, you know, nobody saw that till afterwards.
03:30And that's probably harder to do than the first pitch.
03:33It's just weird as a person who has to throw at targets that he uncorked one like that.
03:39I mean, this is after the Mets debacle the day before.
03:46What happened with the Mets again?
03:47They had like, uh, members of the Olympic team come in and they were throwing a first pitch.
03:52Did they?
03:52Yeah.
03:53But, but they had like a whole group of them.
03:55So they had like one Olympian on top of another Olympian throwing a first pitch.
03:59Oh, wow.
04:00One Olympian on top of another.
04:01We saw them.
04:02We saw them do the poxatawney fill where he, they rubbed the, uh, the ball on the groundhog.
04:07Oh man.
04:07But this was bad, bro.
04:09It was, this was, and I know people have said, Hey, Patrick, my homes had a bad first pitch.
04:15Tom Brady had a bad first pitch.
04:18They'd stop saying that Joe Boudreau does Joe Boudreau have a bad first pitch.
04:21Um, it's a, it is a different throw.
04:24You'd have a much smaller thing.
04:26You're on a Hill, but here's the difference.
04:29I'm just assuming, I don't know this, but I'm assuming,
04:32I'm assuming that every one of those individuals was a little bit more established than Malik Willis.
04:39We don't know Malik Willis yet.
04:41Okay.
04:42If, if Malik Willis was sitting here with a division title and a season under his belt,
04:47and he had that kind of a throw, wouldn't care.
04:50I still don't care.
04:51It's not a big deal, but I'm just like, Oh, we, you, you telling me as a Dalvin fan,
04:56when you saw that you weren't like, you weren't like, Ooh, like that wasn't your reaction.
05:01Cause if you, if you, if you're saying anything else, you're lying to me.
05:04You just lying to me.
05:05I don't think that's a big deal.
05:06It doesn't mean he's going to stink as a quarterback, but if you're a Dalvin fan who you have not
05:10seen this guy play for your football team.
05:12And the first time you see him throw in a public setting, he uncorks that you weren't like, Ooh, like,
05:20come on.
05:20All right.
05:23Yes.
05:24You can.
05:25I would be upset.
05:26Cause he looked the part.
05:27He looked good.
05:28He looked good city edition uniform.
05:30I was like, all right, cool.
05:31He did the pitch.
05:33He did the, the windup, everything, everything was good until the pitch was released.
05:37And then it just went high and outside.
05:40I'm watching a Joe Burrow first pitch right now to, uh, to Zach Taylor.
05:43It looks perfectly fine.
05:44You know, a little, uh, he didn't, he didn't really uncork one.
05:47He just, just get, get me a little, get me over pitch.
05:49Most athletes, you know, they like to bring the cheese on a first pitch.
05:53I don't understand.
05:54You should do what the president did.
05:56And nobody had more pressure than the president.
05:59Oh, 11.
06:00Yeah.
06:00And he threw it right down the middle.
06:02It was a strike.
06:04And he's a president.
06:05He was old.
06:06Yeah.
06:06Joe Burrow's first pitch is great.
06:08That's from three years ago, but, but everybody else, 50, disgusting.
06:13Steven, a, Oh, putrid Mariah Carey.
06:17I mean, it's Mariah Carey.
06:21I wasn't expecting it.
06:23Maybe he did.
06:23Yeah.
06:23Maybe he didn't warm up.
06:24I don't know.
06:24Maybe, but I think it looked to me like Malik Willis was ready to throw some cheese and
06:28it just got, Oh, he threw cheese.
06:30All right.
06:31He just threw it.
06:32It just uncorked wild thing.
06:33Vaughn style.
06:34He threw some cheese.
06:36I was like, dude, what are we doing?
06:38Let me see if this guy, Hey, uh, QAM you're on there.
06:40What's your name?
06:42Hey, how you doing?
06:43It's Tony.
06:43What's up, Tony.
06:44What do you want to say, buddy?
06:46No, I just wanted to tell you that, um, they said that Malik Willis slipped on the mound.
06:51That's why he said he slipped was wider.
06:53He said he slipped.
06:54No, I mean, but if you look at the video, you could see his foot move and you could see
06:59that he slipped, man.
07:00I'm just telling you.
07:01I feel bad for him.
07:02You know, I feel bad for Malik Willis.
07:04He's like, Oh, that's not how I wanted that to go.
07:07I know.
07:09I feel bad for him too.
07:10I really did.
07:11Uh, well, he should be, we should just put the video.
07:13Like if we could just put propaganda and just put the, on, on a billboard somewhere, his
07:17BP video.
07:17Cause I'm telling you, he could hit the hell out of the baseball.
07:21Oh really?
07:21You saw him?
07:22Yeah.
07:22Yeah.
07:22No, go look at his video of him in a BP.
07:24He was killing it.
07:27He was, I'll check it out.
07:28Thanks, man.
07:28All right.
07:29See ya.
07:29So maybe he's a DH.
07:30He just, he's a dozen man.
07:31He's not a pitcher.
07:32He's more of a DH.
07:33You know, yeah.
07:34Cam Ward does that.
07:35The, does the baseball movement with the hips, you know, but no, he was Jacob Marcy was
07:39like, you can tell like the players were impressed with him hitting the baseball.
07:43Like they were like, it's athletes.
07:45When you're talking about the one percenters of the world, they, they, and they're like,
07:49wow, this guy's exactly, you're going to be impressed if somebody's actually show
07:54some type of skill in another sport because then they know they're professional athletes,
08:00but you learning how to hit a baseball and the way he was hitting the baseball probably
08:04impressed them.
08:04But still, I don't like the fact that they're saying he slipped because what happens if he
08:09slips when he's in the pocket?
08:11I don't know.
08:12He's going to have cleats, I guess.
08:13I don't know.
08:13But he still could slip.
08:14Sneakers on a slippery mound, but he's going to miss his intended target.
08:18That was his excuse.
08:19He said, I slipped with a little crying emoji.
08:22Well, you know what?
08:22It rains in South Florida.
08:24You better have the right cleats and the right spikes and everything, right?
08:28Because I want to hear, oh, you slipped and then you overthrow a pass and it's intercepted
08:33by a safety.
08:35Lita Ford said, Hawk had a better first pitch.
08:37He did doing the Daniel Sun crane kick.
08:39That's when I had a first pitch there too.
08:40Mine wasn't awesome.
08:41You did a first pitch?
08:42I did a first pitch.
08:42It wasn't awesome.
08:43It went wide.
08:44It went not like that.
08:45Were you nervous?
08:48Not really.
08:49Not really.
08:49But I just did.
08:50But I didn't.
08:50But I didn't get it.
08:51Now, if I wanted Barrett University, top notch.
08:53That was actually more pressure.
08:55Why?
08:55Because they all listen to the show.
08:56I was very stunned by that.
08:58I was.
09:00That may sound ridiculous, everybody.
09:02But I'll tell you, I felt more pressure throwing at Barrett University at homecoming
09:05because all the players were like, hey, we listened to your show.
09:07You see, that's funny because I was going to crack a joke because I was like, when I
09:10actually said you weren't nervous, I was like, why?
09:12Because it was like 10 people at the game at that time?
09:15Yeah.
09:15But it was the Marlins.
09:17It's not like it was star-studded.
09:20But you were more nervous for Barrett University?
09:22I was way more nervous.
09:23Because everybody listened.
09:24Yeah, I was way more nervous for that because I was just the producer back then.
09:28I was just like, I was, you know, it was joy.
09:30I wasn't even the executive producer of Hawkman.
09:32Oh, OK.
09:33So I'm just saying it was cool that they were letting me throw a first pitch.
09:35But I'm not a professional thrower of things.
09:38This man is, he has paid money to throw things accurately.
09:42And you know what?
09:42I would love to see Leroy throw a first pitch.
09:46He's got to have had to, right?
09:48Maybe in Cleveland.
09:49He would have had to have, right?
09:50I don't know.
09:51Him and Kenny Lofton are boys.
09:54Mate, you think he knows how?
09:56You think he's throwing a first pitch, though?
09:58I mean, Leroy got drafted in baseball.
10:01Oh, that Leroy's got to throw a first pitch out of Marlins game.
10:04Cap for Life says Mahomes slipped on his first pitch is what I heard.
10:07Yeah, Mahomes' first pitch.
10:09So here's the thing with Mahomes'.
10:10He also, like, right down the middle, but it sailed, airmailed it.
10:14This one was just like...
10:16You can airmail it.
10:17You can airmail it.
10:19And, like, if Mahomes' airmailed it, you could be like, oh, he was jacked.
10:23Yeah.
10:23But you said he was still, like, right down the middle of just airmailed.
10:26So you just could say, oh, he was just a little jacked.
10:29That was nothing there.
10:30That was out wide.
10:31Like, Bob Uke would be like, ooh, just the man outside.
10:35Like, that's how bad it was.
10:38There's no way Malia was like, oh, man.
10:40Do you think he calls up Sully and goes, hey, man, that didn't go so hot.
10:48That's not good.
10:49He goes, you should have seen me take BP, though.
10:51He goes, I was killing it.
10:52Oh.
10:52I was killing it, dude.
10:53I'm going to tell you what.
10:55Hmm?
10:57If Caden Procter throws a better first pitch than Malik Willis,
11:02oh, that jokes.
11:03It looks like a ping pong ball.
11:05The jokes.
11:05That doesn't matter, though.
11:06He's not going to throw it outside and high.
11:08It doesn't matter.
11:10He's 60 feet from the batter's back.
11:14That's a big boy.
11:15If he throws a better pitch than Mr. Willis, that's jokes.
11:19Again, the Mahomes bad first pitch and the Brady bad first pitch.
11:23Like, I think those guys had a little bit more resume behind them.
11:27Like, if Malik Willis wins the Super Bowl,
11:29I don't care if he goes and throws the ball in the dirt, you know?
11:32Like, if you have that kind of cachet with you.
11:35But, like, if that's your first appearance publicly in Miami,
11:38you're like, oh, no.
11:40Anyway.
11:41What do you think is more difficult?
11:43If they were supposed to throw a pitch or hit a basket,
11:45like, say we're, like, you know, during a heat timeout,
11:48hey, we got Malik Willis here.
11:50Malik, if you hit this three-pointer,
11:52so-and-so can get a cruise, free tickets or a carnival cruise.
11:58So he has to, what, hit a three-pointer?
12:00Like, hit a three-pointer.
12:02I don't know.
12:03Because those, you see those kids, you see those fans when they have to do the layups.
12:06I've seen a lot of fans.
12:07I've seen a lot of fans have success doing that this year.
12:10So if Malik, yeah.
12:12Oh, okay.
12:13I remember one guy won, and I was like, and he won, like, five grand.
12:16I was like, that's all he won?
12:17I feel like if you hit a half-court heave, you should get more money than that.
12:21Really?
12:21Yeah.
12:23But whatever.
12:23That's what the sponsor offered up.
12:25Half-court heaves are going in.
12:26Yeah.
12:27Okay.
12:28But I'm telling you.
12:29That first pitch is tough, man.
12:30That first pitch was rough, dude.
12:32I was like, no.
12:33That was the first thing I saw when I got off the air on Friday night.
12:38I left, and it just says on my phone, Malik Willis, wild first pitch.
12:41I was like, how bad could it be?
12:43Oh, it's bad.
12:43I was like, whoa!
12:45Wow, texture561 says first pitch is easier.
12:49I mean, yeah.
12:50You think?
12:51I don't know.
12:52I think for him it should have been easier.
12:54I would have thought so, too.
12:55He's got a chooch, too.
12:59Like, he's known for having an arm.
13:01And I think he was just like, I don't know if he thought it was good.
13:04He was like, I'm going to give you, I'm going to give Graham Pauly some serious cheese here.
13:09Thank God that was there to save the fans.
