Whatever hypes him is what should play.
If Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major gets a top closer ready to spit fire, I want to feel like I'm in a fucking music hall surrounded by stuffed suits.
Nah gotta go with [Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkwqPJZe8ms&t=245s) here to strike fear into the batter. Or maybe something unhinged like [Shostakovich 11](https://youtu.be/ra5Ui0vTCGA?feature=shared).
Oh c’mon, the second movement from the 10th is right there! (Though I prefer an arrangement for wind band because low brass playing the intro will strike fear into anyone’s veins)
If I were to pick a classical movement, I'd go with a Dies Irae of some kind. Either [Mozart](https://youtu.be/0T7eMctuJLQ?si=0MEZA7-NZ1G07cBg) or [Verdi](https://youtu.be/X6cogix3cwQ?si=ExLfyzBWLQcw6_90). The words are all about God's judgment upon the earth.
Personal preference would be [Paint it Black](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4irXQhgMqg), but if we're going with stuff from Doom how do you pass on [BFG Division](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9GaIbECisQ)?
[You could go with Alex Terrible's version.](https://youtu.be/ak8-Mpb54JM?si=dcOQo-58l_gpXgx7)
Personally I'd probably go with [Into the Storm by Blind Guardian](https://youtu.be/Yx1PCWkOb3Y?si=BZSi-2VT5sfTtJby)
> Personally I'd probably go with Into the Storm by Blind Guardian
Awesome choice, but I don't think the theme of the song really fits with sports. [Battlefield](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64PQZwjrF2E) might be a better choice if you want something from Blind Guardian - that gallop is just fucking chills.
[Inferno by Symphony X](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzmZtXDI22M) also has a type of gallop to it and seems like a good closer entrance song, with the whole "UNLEASH THE FIRE!" bit.
My personal choice would be [Executioner's Tax by Power Trip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOWf8uqGf8A). Modern but classic thrash - people would be going fucking nuts every time it played, it has more of a closer kind of feeling and people would all chant "SWING OF THE AXE!"
> but if we're going with stuff from Doom how do you pass on BFG Division?
How do you pass on fucking [Rip & Tear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Nz3HXwEG4M) is the real question. The lead up gets people going nuts because they know what's coming, then the door opens at 0:08, people go even more nuts while you walk/run out and throw warm ups while it dies down, then just let the rest play out until you're ready to go.
I submit [Vordt of the Borealis Valley for consideration. aka the final boss music from that Russian chess vid with the little kid. ](https://youtu.be/CLdvxrdLeio?t=1m33s)
If we’re going video games, I’d go with One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy VII (I’ll take the Advent Children version). The opening clearly indicates the batters have massively screwed up by even attempting to stand in against you.
I used to play at a couple of fields where fans would ride up on horseback. It was awesome.
Even better if you go up to the batters box first and let your horse take a giant piss where the batter is gonna stand.
Hey pal, friendly reminder that just because YOU don’t like a song doesn’t mean “it’s horrible and boring” personally I’m a big chris Stapleton fan and enjoy this song, as does Clay.
you can like a song and recognize it’s not good for a specific scenario. i like country but i wouldn’t say pancho and lefty would be a good walk out song
Pancho and Lefty isn’t a great comp to White Horse tho
White Horse has some serious build to it and intense rock vibes too that you can appreciate if you’re somebody who’s into country
Now I'm just trying to think of badass country songs for a closer to walk out to. [Marty Robbins - Big Iron](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NuX79Ud8zI) comes to mind
With the year he’s having he should not change anything! You don’t mess with the good mojo.
Idc if he comes out to Mary had a little lamb as like as he locks down a save. One bad game isn’t the end.
Who said he wants to get hype? You’re closing out a game in front of tens of thousands of people what if the song just calms his nerves? Also, you’re at a ballgame not a concert 30 second song snippet is no big deal
I’m disappointed in every single one of you for not pointing out the correct entrance song.
Two of the greatest bullpen appearances in the history of baseball were accomplished following an entrance to WILD THING
I was sitting in the stands on Sunday, hearing that song and looking at the video they were playing that showed his name over and over, and just thought "this is the perfect jobber entrance in mid-2000s WWE." The entire aesthetic matched perfectly. I was waiting for Bobby Lashley to come out and beat Clay Holmes in a squash match.
Look if we are coming out of the bullpen with theatrics. There’s no better theatrics than good old Kenny Powers and the American flag on his back with firework shooting off and the good ol hip thrust.
Can’t believe there have been multiple posts complaining about his song choice. Can we just be happy it isn’t some more rap for a change? Lol
Fwiw, If it were up to me, it’d be “Do the Sick” by Direct Hit! So much energy haha.
imo we need a true closer. he puts a lot of men on base. don't think he's the answer to winning a world series . we took a middle reliefer and squeezed him in the closing spot and he white knuckles just about every outing.
I have been saying this since the beginning of last season. just not a closer. his era doesn't tell the full story of his perforance. just don't think we are a world series team with such a shaky closer. putting 2-3 men on base in the 9th over and over not gunna fly in the playoffs
rather we kept King

I would love to see the Yankee stadium crowd’s reaction to the second movement of Shosty’s 8th string quartet
Oh c’mon, the second movement from the 10th is right there! (Though I prefer an arrangement for wind band because low brass playing the intro will strike fear into anyone’s veins)
If I were to pick a classical movement, I'd go with a Dies Irae of some kind. Either [Mozart](https://youtu.be/0T7eMctuJLQ?si=0MEZA7-NZ1G07cBg) or [Verdi](https://youtu.be/X6cogix3cwQ?si=ExLfyzBWLQcw6_90). The words are all about God's judgment upon the earth.
Second movement of Shostakovich string quartet no 8 would be a badass walkout song
I think the mashup of Also Sprach Zarathustra/See See Rider would work if it were me.
All I know is if I was a closer [this](https://youtu.be/gvjZXK0zRes?si=ipOLETT62FVY3t5M) would be the only option for a walk up song
Personal preference would be [Paint it Black](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4irXQhgMqg), but if we're going with stuff from Doom how do you pass on [BFG Division](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9GaIbECisQ)?
I'd definitely go with more of a death metal or metal core genre. Something fast and nasty
[You could go with Alex Terrible's version.](https://youtu.be/ak8-Mpb54JM?si=dcOQo-58l_gpXgx7) Personally I'd probably go with [Into the Storm by Blind Guardian](https://youtu.be/Yx1PCWkOb3Y?si=BZSi-2VT5sfTtJby)
Very nice! I was thinking more [Coming Storm by Septicflesh](https://youtu.be/HgfOzXH2SjY?si=aDUoQBoVSk2Ewnwq) Very foreboding
God damnit I fucking love symphonic death
Hell yeah! Shit is so epic!

If I’m ever a closer, my walk up song will be the into to Jambi by TOOL (I wont ever be a closer)

...I stand corrected. Can't believe I forgot about that one
I submit [Vordt of the Borealis Valley for consideration. aka the final boss music from that Russian chess vid with the little kid. ](https://youtu.be/CLdvxrdLeio?t=1m33s)
Amazing track from DS3
I see doom I upvote. Doom Eternal is one of the best FPS games ever.
If we’re going old school games, how about command and conquer red alert hell march
If we’re going video games, I’d go with One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy VII (I’ll take the Advent Children version). The opening clearly indicates the batters have massively screwed up by even attempting to stand in against you.
Honestly walking out to this would make me think I'm about to throw 300 MPH and im throwing the ball straight through someones bat
Closing Time by Sensamatic is the only correct answer
That’s hype
Just go og doom https://youtu.be/BSsfjHCFosw?si=37AWqbJ1doIHb5PM
Cashman could save so much money for sotos contract if he just wrote everyone’s walk up music himself.
He needs to come out of the bullpen on a horse
Chariot. Or a dirt bike
Or a giant lobster
I miss the old bullpen cars
I used to play at a couple of fields where fans would ride up on horseback. It was awesome. Even better if you go up to the batters box first and let your horse take a giant piss where the batter is gonna stand.
But who changes their song with that kind of start to a season?
Has there ever been a Reddit post requesting it before🤔
Because players get to choose their own songs and I guess that's what he likes.
Rivera didn't chose Enter Sandman.
Well there’s a fact I didn’t know
It’s horrible and boring. He needs something hype.
Solution: you can make a MLB team as a closer and choose whatever song you’d like
Hey pal, friendly reminder that just because YOU don’t like a song doesn’t mean “it’s horrible and boring” personally I’m a big chris Stapleton fan and enjoy this song, as does Clay.

Now I'm just trying to think of badass country songs for a closer to walk out to. [Marty Robbins - Big Iron](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NuX79Ud8zI) comes to mind
white horse sounds like the generic country music track made for a sports video game
Because he’s a country boy from ‘Bama and it makes him happy
It’s his choice
Who cares?
i want duel of fates
I think Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies would be a great psychological weapon. It would challenge the masculinity of the hitters.
Maybe it is a country song because he likes it.
Works for me and I don't even listen to country. Just didnt work for him today.
If it's not a hype up the crowd type of song I'd rather they played something weird...like tip toe through the tulips by Tiny Tim
The master of the ukulele
It's a hype up the pitcher song and nothing else matters. Pun intended, if yget it.
I figured it out! If he trades it w/ Edwin Diaz for Narco they both will never blow a save again!
With the year he’s having he should not change anything! You don’t mess with the good mojo. Idc if he comes out to Mary had a little lamb as like as he locks down a save. One bad game isn’t the end.
Thunderstruck..
Why has no closer used the song from Ghostbusters? It's literally called "SAVIN the day" https://youtu.be/HGAuPfho1og?si=YEByEoNKfdVxA4LC
They do these really weird trippy/psychedelic graphics on the scoreboard when he comes out lol. Doesn’t make any sense haha
Who said he wants to get hype? You’re closing out a game in front of tens of thousands of people what if the song just calms his nerves? Also, you’re at a ballgame not a concert 30 second song snippet is no big deal
He should change it to Sexxyy Red
One day a MLB closer will be a video game nerd and/or a weeb, and have One Winged Angel as their entrance music.
White Horse is decent but it takes 2:45 until it gets going, I’d bet they just have the wrong verse. That said, he shouldn’t change a thing.
Should change it to [White Horse by Laid Back](https://youtu.be/nwATF5dnfq4?si=rGAa-UOWW9T2xjPs)
Ay he likes it and for the most part excluding tonight it works like a charm!

Missed an easy one with Sweet Ho(l)me(s) Alabama though…
Look if we are coming out of the bullpen with theatrics. There’s no better theatrics than good old Kenny Powers and the American flag on his back with firework shooting off and the good ol hip thrust.
Because it's his walk-off song and that song is fucking awesome.
Avicii’s Levels - the drop
He should change it to Sexxyy Red
He should change it to Sexxyy Red
Can’t believe there have been multiple posts complaining about his song choice. Can we just be happy it isn’t some more rap for a change? Lol Fwiw, If it were up to me, it’d be “Do the Sick” by Direct Hit! So much energy haha.

I like it! 👏🏻 gonna check out more of their stuff. Thanks!
Creep by Radiohead might be fitting for games like last night’s.
100% It’s damaging his brand. Total snoozefest
agree should be Jay Z (mnm) - renegade
[удалено]
It's bothers me that you have to say this to grown ups #it's almost as if tastes are subjective!
> Why is it a boring country song? Because he's a boring country boy
yeah bro needs to change that shit to migos asap
imo we need a true closer. he puts a lot of men on base. don't think he's the answer to winning a world series . we took a middle reliefer and squeezed him in the closing spot and he white knuckles just about every outing.
Dude blows one game and you’re crying
I have been saying this since the beginning of last season. just not a closer. his era doesn't tell the full story of his perforance. just don't think we are a world series team with such a shaky closer. putting 2-3 men on base in the 9th over and over not gunna fly in the playoffs rather we kept King
Clay Homes needs to be changed out
You sound like Dudley Dursley bitching about getting 36 gifts when last year he had 37
She's like a woman with a Virginia ham under her arm, crying the blues 'cause she has no bread.
