enough interviews on how he became great. i'd like one on how he lost his greatness. what was the first thing to go? when did you know it was only a matter of time? did it all go at once?
Maddux deliberately sabotaging this interview is great. “I just try to make good pitches and get people out”. It’s like the most horrifically generic advice possible.
I think he’s just being honest. that technically is what he was doing. make good pitches and get people out. that’s the entire goal of every pitcher. he just doesn’t explain any strategy of how he does it
So lucky to be able to watch this man, Smoltz, Glavin, and Rocker pitch in the 90s. Just and unstoppable pitching lineup. The 90s Braves were so impressive. I remember watching the games with my granny, those were great years.
That was the last generation of real pitchers, Maddux, Clemens, Johnson, Shilling, guys that pitched full games and were generals instead of just pieces.
If you were born between 1976-1988, had cable, and liked baseball, you were watching the Braves on TBS for sure. They had 4 legitimate #1 starters for almost a decade straight. Their offense was scary, and their defense was highly overlooked.
The professor is the GOAT. 4 pitches that he can paint at any time all sides of the plate up and down side to side... It was a pleasure watching him in the 90’s.
You'd be hard pressed to find many guys better than Maddux. Just to put into perspective how much respect I have for this guy, Phillies baseball is everything to me, so he was the enemy of all enemies.
I have a Greg Maddux ball! Signed! Have you seen his signature? Sloppy as hell! They say, the sloppiest hand written signed or Signatures are actually some of the smartest people on earth! He is in the HOF for a reason! Why can I make out Chipper Jones Autograph? Not too smart! Joking Chipper!
As a phillies fan I hated Maddux. But at least when we got beat we knew we got beat by the best. He was really an incredible pitcher and I highly doubt we will ever see another like him.
TALKING ABOUT TURNING THE MEDIOCRE INTO THE EXCELLENT. THATS THE GREGG MADDOX STORY TO ME, HE WAS THE ROCKY BALBOA OF BASEBALL! HE NEVER HAD THE BLAZE HEATER! JUST OFF SPEED, CONTROL AND LOCATION, YET WHEN HE METICULOUSLY COMBINED THEM HE WAS TOP FLIGHT! PLAYING FOR THE S C(R)UBS, HE SUFFERED BADLY! HE COULD HAVE WON 400 GAMES EASILY IF WITH THE BRAVES HIS ENTIRE CAREER! HE WAS THE SMARTEST I EVER SAW IN HIS BATTLES! HE WOULD JUST SIMPLY OUT THINK YA AND OUT CONTROL YA WITH THE BEST LOCATIONS POSSIBLY EVER! AND HIS AFTER GAME INTERVIEWS WERE SOME OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME IMO! HE JUST HAD A FORTHWRIGHT WAY OF BREAKING THINGS DOWN TO SIMPLICITY AND HOW ITS "JUST BASEBALL AFTER ALL" HE HAD HIS PERSPECTIVE CLEAR ON LIFE & KNEW HE WAS GETTING A "FREE" RIDE & FLOORED IT! LONG CAREER AS WELL. MY FAVORITE PITCHER BY FAR THEN RANDY JOHNSON! BLESS
Elite arm

@@ray5177 I'm not an interviewer. I'm a commenter. I give notes. That's what I do.
Try to make good pitches. Damn why didn't I think of that? All the millions I coulda made being a MLB pitcher.
2.72 you had a bad year.

@@thepope9648that was the point of the original comment
He doesn’t have any wisdom

Humble. The professor was my favorite pitcher to watch when I was a kid.
Then you add Tom Glavine in the rotation. Must watch TV! 😂
It's been 15 years since Maddux retired, has there been a pitcher that's like him?
They always showed this when it was a rain out
Wow. The production of this video was so ahead of its time.
Imagine a better world where the best pitchers aren't all paid to go to the same team.
His sports psychologist sounds like PE teacher
All that movement with absolute command. GOAT!
That was the last generation of real pitchers, Maddux, Clemens, Johnson, Shilling, guys that pitched full games and were generals instead of just pieces.
dude comes across like he has no pulse, and is in a complete state of tranquiltiy
Who’s the psychologist?
Let’s not forget Maddux is a notorious prankster 😆 particularly liked to gross people out

The Cubs blew it with Maddox among others.
He is my fav player
Grew up watching maddux, by far thee best pitcher I've ever seen just an amazing career
He so easy to talk with!! Great interview.
one of the best to ever do it. Much respect
The professor is the GOAT. 4 pitches that he can paint at any time all sides of the plate up and down side to side... It was a pleasure watching him in the 90’s.
His wisdom was having umpires give him a 30 inch plate
Imagine 2.72 ERA being a "bad year"???
Mike Mussina's ERA was at 4.81 that year. Roger Clemens had 3.63. But Kevin Brown had a 1.89 ERA in 1996. 🤯🤯🤯
The way he'd make the pitches dance was MAGICAL
You'd be hard pressed to find many guys better than Maddux. Just to put into perspective how much respect I have for this guy, Phillies baseball is everything to me, so he was the enemy of all enemies.
They misspelled separate! ruclips.net/video/G8z0cV2blXE/видео.html
Thank you from Griffin, Ga.
Maddux is my fav and personally I think he loved being a mysterious enigma to keep everyone thinking
so laid back, very zen dude
Maddux is my all time favorite pitcher in my life time!
I’m a Rangers fan but I bought a Braves ball cap cause Maddux is in my top two all time fav pitchers along side Nolan

Smoltz was the best of the 3 by far. Glavine and Maddux nibbled a lot and needed generous umpires. Smoltz didn't
That guy is a pure Zen that most Buddhists only dream of.
As a phillies fan I hated Maddux. But at least when we got beat we knew we got beat by the best. He was really an incredible pitcher and I highly doubt we will ever see another like him.
an ERA of sub-3 was a “bad year.” what a bad ass
He would dominate with a 85-90 mph fastball it was crazy
He could throw 95 but it got hit because it was too straight so he junked the 4 seamer and only threw sinkers.
I once hired Greg Maddux to paint my house....but he only painted the corners.
Dude, that’s totally epic!😂😂👏
Brilliant
this video just gives me nostalgia over the early days of youtube. No dumb ads, no insane editing...just a solid video :)
Exactly; keep perspective keep it simple..have boundaries..work n FAMILY
A lot of dumb questions.
And then came Clayton Kershaw.
My name jeff
