@@manny5186 And while I'm not 100% sure, I believe Joe Carter is the only man to be the last player to touch the ball in two straight WS. He was playing first and caught the last out in 92.
@MANCHESTER UNITED And plus there's only 196 countries in the world, not fucking 240 you absolute moronic idiot, stop advertising your shitty organization, and go back to your shitty mom's basement.
@MANCHESTER UNITED Soccer is nowhere near the greatest sport. It's the most popular but that's because most foreign countries don't know how to make sports like baseball as popular
YEGGERtalk yeah. I think that guy has been there since the 90’s. The bullpens are right there with the fans so I think he just got lucky and was posted there to keep fans from messing with the Boston relievers, he’s got the best job in the world
Yeah he’s a great guy. I’ve talked to him to almost every game I’ve been too! He’s a huge Red Sox fan also of course! I actually have his signature LOL my mom and sister always saw his reactions on TV so I needed to get it for them. Boston’s finest
The Henderson Alvarez no-hitter is INSANE. Ironically winning it on a walk-off wild pitch, going into that inning unsure if the game was over yet at all, and a beacon of happiness on the last day of the season for a team that had lost their 100th game that season just 5 days earlier.
Speaking of no-hitters that weren't, I'm surprised the video doesn't include Rich Hill from a few years ago. He lost the perfect game in the eighth or ninth, still finished nine with a no-hitter, came out to start the tenth, and gives up a walk-off homer.
Aiman A you’re acting like it’s baseballs fault lol. You’re the dumbest person I have ever seen. They were in the way, what was the ball supposed to do, fly over them? Oh wait, that’s why birds have wings you fucking idiot!
I wonder how many little league coaches have ever talked about then ending of that Braves Pirates game as an example of why you always make SURE of the tag.
@@cadenr06 When you look at the slow motion replays, it is very doubtful that the glove actually touched the player. It is possible that it did. The pants leg may have moved just slightly, but the catcher is at fault for not applying a good tag.
Yeah dude swung and missed lmao. No matter how much advantage the overly aggressive baserunning and the good throw can give you none of it means anything if you don’t apply the tag.
That was a blown call all the way!!! Search for the video of the Pirates broadcast, replay clearly shows the tag and even the Braves runner is surprised.
Fun fact about Bruntlett’s unassisted Triple Play, he’s the reason why there were runners on at the time, making 2 errors during the 2 previous at bats
That game was the beginning of the end for the Giants. Prior to the All Star Game, they were untouchable. After the All Star Game, the bullpen completely went to shit. That was also the last time the Giants were "good" in any meaningful way. 😒
I don't get celebrating the batter who "walked it off" on an error. Like they aren't really the one to give credit, it was just a weak popout otherwise. If anything, congratulate the runner who scored for heads up baserunning or as a joke crowd the fielder who made the error lol!
On the Kolten Wong pickoff in the 2013 WS. I was listening to the Cardinals radio broadcast with the great Mike Shannon. Koji Uehara threw over to 1st about 1000 times. Shannon was getting obviously irritated, saying "Wong isn't running. Why is he throwing to 1st? Why does he keep throwing to 1st?" When Wong got picked off, there was a long pause and Shannon said "I guess that's why he was throwing to 1st". I'm a Sox fan but Mike Shannon is one of my favorites
I always found Mike Shannon to be kind of unique as a radio announcer. He is a very optimistic, upbeat announcer with a very lighthearted tone. I hear his voice and it just sounds like the sun is always shining and he's just so happy to be there and he's talking to you over the radio like you're his best friend. When his Cardinals win, well of course they did, he knew they would pull through. When they lose, oh well tough luck, we'll get em tomorrow. But because it's always so upbeat, it sounds like he rarely gets too excited or too devastated/disheartened by any one play or game. Maybe he truly believes it's only a game and never loses sight of that. And you kind of expect local radio announcers to be a bit high strung and go crazy when their team makes a big play. But because he never seemed that worried that they might lose, he probably doesn't feel the need to go crazy during big moments that maybe another announcer would lose their minds over. Has kind of this relaxed, familiar "hey, everything is working out just like I knew it would!" vibe instead. Even when Big Mac hit 62. Imagining him getting irritated by anything is kind of amusing to me because its hard to imagine too much bothering him. But then imagining him musing "well, I guess now I get it" is funny because I could totally see him saying that.
plainnsimple78 yeah if the ball hits the runner while he’s in fair territory he’s out. That’s why runners on third base take their leads in foul territory so just in case it hits them it’s just a foul ball
actually... the rule is: So long as the last thing to touch the ball (besides the ground) is the bat, if the ball hits the runner, the runner is out. However, there are a few caveats to this. If the ball was playable by a fielder prior to this (through the legs, within reach of the fielder in front of the runner, or deflected by the fielder), the runner is not out and the play continues. If the batter is charged with an Infield Fly and the runner is still on the base, the runner is safe. If the runner, after the ball is put into the prior situations, intentionally hits the ball out of the way, he's out and the ball is considered dead. This rule is referred to as Runner Interference.
I recall in '89 the Giants were at Philadelphia and the 'Gints and Phils dueled through 11 scoreless innings. Then the Giant power due of Will Clark and Kevin Mitchell (whom had his MVP season that year with 47 dingers) each homered in the top of the 12th, giving the Giants a 2-0 lead. The Phillies got runners on first and second in the bottom of the 12th with one on, and up against Craig Lefferts came journeyman and light hitter Bob Dernier (who had come in as a defensive replacement for Von Hayes). Dernier raked one down the left field line, which would have tied the game easily...but the ball ricocheted off the foul pole and scooted down the left-field fence past Kevin Mitchell (notoriously inept at his position and somewhat slow for an outfielder), who desperately chased it as Dernier, whom five years earlier had stolen 45 sacks with the Cubs, flew around the bases and easily scored the winning run! Probably the lone highlight for the Phils in an otherwise dismal 65-97 campaign.
@@Meerkat2112 Dernier's shot down the left-field foul (fair? A ball hitting the line is considered "fair") line did hit the "foul" pole, but BELOW the top of the fence, making it in play, resulting in Kevin Mitchell's comical attempt to retrieve the ball, with un-funny result that night for the Giants. No, the rules, save for ground rules for parks established since, are the same since 1989. There was an article titled "The Year Babe Ruth hit 104 home runs", postulating that under current rules, his tally in, I believe, 1921, would have been that high, mainly due to the rule then in effect extending the "fair line" into the stands and beyond, IAW the umpire's judgement. Since a batted ball in flight tends to curve, they can pass over the outfield fence fair, but land "foul", which, today, makes them a home run anyway. IDK precisely when the rule was changed.
So what happend was the outfield was in the shift and it was hit to the right fielder so the center fielder had to run way farther because he was in the shift
@@briggsy1142 thats what you think but like the angels that the news showed of that play theres an arguement im not saying its 100% hes safe but like thered a chance
As a Marlins fan, I watched Henderson Alvarez's no hitter depicted from 9:56 to 10:26. How many no hitters end in a wild pitch? With the no hitting pitcher in the on deck circle? Only in Miami can you be told your pitcher threw a no hitter and you still wonder if your team won.
This video could use the end of the Cubs' 8/7/01 walkoff win over the Rockies. That was a crazy game across the board (it was the one where Mongo got run while singing the 7th inning stretch for mocking Angel Hernandez), but it ended with a crazy rundown play where Ricky Gutierrez fell down rounding 3rd, and in the confusion was able to sneak home and score the winning run.
0:19 was a trip man I could barely believe what I was watching that looked like my average little league game. 11 innings in I'd probably be dead too though
Jonathan Herrera. He used to dump out the bubble gum bucket and put it on his head each time the Cubs had a walkoff - I think they had like 10 that year?
theres a whole like 10 minute video about that call, it was SUUUUPER close and almost impossiblke to tell if he was tagged or not but the ump came out ofter the fact and admitted he got it wrong
@@theDitchdigger456 i don't think the ref ever came out and said he screwed it up. i think he said he is still unsure about the call. You are correct about the 10 minute video though, it looks like he "ole'd" him between his leg and arm, he might have brushed his leg but it's sooooooo close and hard to tell.
Jonatan Cirillo in my opinion if you’re calling an ump a referee you don’t have a place in this conversation. Also what they don’t show in this video is how there may not have been a tag.
My vote goes to the obstruction call. Unreal levels of drama, excitement and chaos. Both teams running onto the field as the fireworks go off and the umps and announcers try to explain it is a peak baseball moment!
I was at the game between the Angels and Giants where the last out was for the runner getting hit by the ball. I'd never seen that happen, but I may have been one of the few in the stands who knew that was the rule.
MrDippledork yeah I watched that one three times and I think the pitcher flinched just a bit which makes it a balk since you are not allowed to try to fake out the hitter. Not a baseball fan so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
The runner gambled on stealing home right when the pitcher just slightly started his motion. So naturally the pitcher flinched and it was called a balk
@@captainnwalps6689 And to add to that, a balk means that each baserunner moves up 1 base. That's why the man on 3rd base was able to just walk to home plate and end the game.
Castillo's mistake was something I was hoping wouldn't be shown, even though I knew it would be. I watched the unassisted triple play on TV, and I couldn't be mad at it even though I'm a Mets fan.
That Bruntlett unassisted triple play was wild. The 2nd in Phillies history and I got to see both. And 7:32, there a video of a Mets fan going "Put it in the books!" when the ball was popped up but when it's dropped he looked like someone killed his dog.
Vin Scully is a legend. I know he means no ill intent but man. "Michael Taylor, who struck out five times tonight, has the error that kills Washington."
Michael Van Voorhis no bruh that call coulda been 50/50 if you watch break down videos the glove barely misses his leg pant and no human could perfectly call that
Daniel The Knight But theres no way the ump would have seen that in person it happened way too fast and he wasnt at the best angle he just wanted to end the game thats it
Jeremy Golden Ik he made a video and i saw it but its like you didnt even read what i just said there was no way the umpire would have actually seen that in person the play was so fast the only way you wouldve been able to actually tell if you wouldnt watched it in slow motion even then its really close
That Toronto Cleveland game was nuts. Lindor hits a homer to right and then Naquin hits the walkoff to the same spot. Watching the dugout walk out and just get all excited as the play was happening was magical.
I think I remember that umpire later realizing and admitted he called it wrong. But also it's the 19th inning. If he didn't miss it on purpose just to go home, I can't really blame him for getting that wrong that far into the night.
I remember when I had mlb network one night randomly switching to the end of that Toronto Cleveland game where Naquin hit the walk off inside the park hr and just rewinding it at least 25 times cause it was so cool.
I'm a huge Indians/Guardians fan, & the greatest baseball game, I ever watched, was probably, the greatest game I ever watched, when Tyler Naquin, hits the inside the park home run, on Tom Hamilton's birthday. I ❤ to hear, Tom Hamilton call that play. It was really exciting, to hear Tom Hamilton's call. I ❤❤ Tom Hamilton. I could never stop, listening to Tom Hamilton, on the radio, he is the greatest baseball announcer, there-ever was. Go Guardians. The 2017, 22-game winning streak, was really fun too. It was-so much fun, to watch the Windians, make history, that night.
5:36 Regardless of if the throw beats the runner, you’d still have to make the tag on the runner, or if it’s a force, you’d still have to tag the base. It doesn’t really matter if the ball gets there first, it matters if you make the play on it first.
gacha player03 he was implying that throw beat the runner and the tag was applied. 99% of the time whether he’s safe or not the runners gonna be called out. As a Braves fan, that may be one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen.
@@baileymcknight936 Oh, okay. I thought that he meant that if the throw beat the runner, the runner would almost always be out. But this is just of my understanding. Have a good day XD
Another: Game #3 of the 1976 NL playoffs, Cincinnati Reds vs. Philadelphia Phillies. Back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the 9th inning by George Foster & Johnny Bench. Cincy then went on to sweep the Yankees in the World Series.
5:19 - The home plate umpire, Jerry Meals, admitted he missed this call. This 19-inning loss was a turning point in the Pirates season. They went from being in the playoffs by their then record to a sub-500 team by the end. It's one thing to play a 19-inning game, win and have that momentum and positive energy going forward. It's another to have a 19-inning loss, a tired team, a gassed bull pen and a defeated mind-set as you approach another game. The MLB needs to start fining umpires for missed calls like this. People like Angel Hernandez would do a better job or just quit altogether because of diminished paychecks.
What they should do is every game should be reviewed for umpire accuracy. Every call an umpire misses incurs a cut in pay. Challenged plays are forgiven, because replay in NY makes the call on those.
One I would have put in was an improbable inside-the-parker by the Phillies in 1989 against the Giants. The Phils were going nowhere that year, while the Giants would win the NL pennant, but that day belonged to Philly. Both teams played to a scoreless tie into the 12th, when the Giants went up 2-0. In the bottom of the 12th, first two Phillies batter made out, then the next two reached base on Giants closer Craig Lefferts. Up came Bob Dernier, and he slapped a line drive down the left field line, which bounded into the corner, and then took a freakish bounce past Kevin Mitchell (not known for his great fielding, anyway, though he did have that famous one-handed catch that year!). Mitchell scooted after it, and as the two runners in front of Dernier scored, he was waved through, and beat the relay throw to score the winning run for the Phils, 3-2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SQ27lmwKreE.html
I’ll never forget that Castillo drop during the subway series. I could remember my dad flipping out at the TV like a mad man and me following along. That’s when the struggles of being a Mets fan began for me lol
Good thing you didnt watch the heartbreaks of 07 and 08 against that damn Philly team. That only began the “dark ages” for Mets fan from 07-14 really. Its why the newer generation will say “lol Mets” or something along those lines. Been watching Mets baseball since 1999 as a kid but I started to get really into it in 2006
CASTILLO.... DROPPED THE BALL! HE DROPPED THE BALL AND THE YANKEES WIN! I remember catching that on an ESPN alert and being so confused as to what happened
One that’s missing here that I’ll always remember is Mets-Phillies in 2007 where Marlon Anderson shoved Tad Iguchi on a double play attempt where he cost the Mets the game. Best thing Marlon Anderson ever did for the Phillies 😂
