The Biggest Strength of EVERY World Series Winner From 2000-2019 

SportStorm who is your favorite team

Boston...lost in...cost in....uh....stone cold Steve Austin... Eff it, I'll just rhyme New York instead

Yea that was cap

Shit was garbage lmao

Ben Paddock I think it is the Padres, I think he said it in one of his videos

Right up there with Bob Gibson carrying the Cardinals

Not nearly as impressive as the garbage man carrying the astros.

Still, especially that year, I'd say the Giants bullpen was a bigger strength than the starters. Remember Jeremy Affeldt got the win in that game 7. Kind of emblematic of how the core of Giants relievers carried the team through those years. Lincecum was already not his best by '10, and Cain was solid but declining after his perfect game. Even Madbum only pitched once every 5 days (other than playoffs).

@@bennyg3955 lmao

MadBum was only legend in the World Series, and it was overrated. Stop making it sound like if he was Pedro in 1999

11:47 In case there was any doubt. 😂

Yeah, the Cubs were all about their rotation and fielding in '16. If you were lucky enough to make contact, it was either to ground out or fly out.

If the giants had a good closer the Cubs don't win that year

@@SFGiantsfan9797 if

@@SFGiantsfan9797 bro the cubs had one of the best offenses that year, they still wouldve won

@@SFGiantsfan9797 ok but they didn't.

They act like they only did it in 2017 they probably had another system in 18 and 19

@@landonohle6558 There are Astros fans who still claimed it was just 2017 to this day and those are the ones who accepted that it happened. The ones who didn't? Yeah you know...

And then electronic trash cans for the red sox

This is what I assumed he was going to do this

Lol that's what I was waiting for

nobody stealing a base like pete wheeler tho

It's hilarious my grandma still has her pc from the 2000's , with the original backyard baseball still installed

no offense to Pablo, but Kiesha Phillips was tops.

I'm legit mad vladi Guerrero or Soriano isn't there. Which year we talking? 08? 07?

@@MethaneHorizon they are talking about 2000-2001 era of backyard sports, when it was just the kids or the first addition of MLB players

Nah.

@@lchang1326 Yeah.

Duh what else could it be

God I hope so, that 05’ team is worth watching

@@wiiplayers19 seriously maybe the most underrated of the teams here and yeah I'm completely biased but at the same time, they went 11-1 in the post season and nobody even talks about it.

They should, I really liked that team, the whole feel of it, the Cell, Konerko, Buehrle, Jenks, Podsednik, Persinski, etc.....They were cool.

@@dukedematteo1995 Dye, Crede, Iguci, Uribe, Everett, and a well rounded bench of Timo Perez, Jeff Blumb, Willy Harris, Pablo Ozuna, and Chris Widger

@@vaughnmild4467 it was a weird year in the AL....you had 2 offensive juggernauts with shit pitching, and two pitching teams with decent offenses. The Sox just had good pitching and clutch timely hitting and it worked out.

Bro it hurts to listen to now

Yesssss

lmao he forgot about halliday, hamels, and the overall strong pitching staff

@@jeffenson9969 Doc wasn't on the 08 Phils. We had Brett Myers who was made our closer the prior season in 07, a 45-year old Jamie Moyer, and Joe Blanton. While Hamels carried us, it was not the most threatening rotation but it all came together because they just happened to pitch well when it was needed. If you ask me, our bullpen was a bigger strength than our rotation. Lidge literally had a perfect season and didn't blow a save.

RISP failures. Though the 2019 Astros can be chalked up to the Nats coding their signs to throw the Astros off.

If the Marlins reach the playoffs just put your money on them winning the World series.

Astros lost because every time Max Sherzer or Stephen Strasburg pitched, the Nationals fell like they could face any pitcher in the league and like their chances of winning. Because those two normally kept them in games and the offense was good enough to overcome 2 or 3 runs either pitcher would normally give up. And that confidence was developed throughout the regular season. Disregarding the Cardinal due to inexperience in starting pitching, Nats beat Wainwright, Kershw (2), Verlander (2), Cole to win the WS.

@@youandme9569 yeah i didnt need an explanation lol i wanted them to😂

'03 Yankees kind of exhausted themselves I thought and treated the ALCS as the real World Series. '04 Cardinals ran into history: I not only think they would've beaten the Yankees, I think they would've beaten a Red Sox team which had won a tight, back-and-forth ALCS...but the Idiots weren't going to be stopped. I'm quoting Pudge when I say that the weeklong layoff killed the '06 Tigers; not a coincidence that, of the 4 sweep-and-7 LCS pairs, the 7-game team (twice in massive upsets) has won the World Series every time.

as a mets fan, games 1, 4, and 5 were just brutal. Mets had it, but I guess Royals were more due

Very similar to the 02 angels. Great bullpens, great contact. Good defense. Average starters

two of their alcs games were won on extra innings homers

omg totally. they could be losing by however many runs, when they scored 1 run, they would score 7 in the next 30 minutes. their clutch hitting was off the charts.

Two years later and you have players like Spencer Strider who complain that contact outside of a miss/K or HR is only luck.

Aviator43 it’s called clutch

@@davidlevison9334 Maybe, but how you explain the Braves suddenly becoming the worst team in baseball, partnered with the Cardinals becoming the best team in baseball just for them to make the playoffs?

Huge W

David Levison 2006 they were more lucky. The cardinal devil magic

As a cardinals fan, we have a lot of devil magic and magic pixie dust in our storage rooms. It’s not luck, it’s magic

I was gonna say that 😂

@@davidlevison9334 he set a series record with 12 RBIs. I think that would be good, but a better video would be how the Yankees lost the series despite outscoring Pittsburgh 55-27

wait what???

yuri mazing yeah. All 3 of their wins were blowouts, but they lost 4 tight games

@@HufflepuffBaseball42313 Stengel not starting Ford in Game 1.

Nobody is calling out the fans, just your team that made this decision to steal a World Series from a team.

@@wyattlampman Unless you're one of us, you really don't understand. People are brutal. If I went into L.A. with Astros gear on, I'm going to be the one hearing it, not the team...

Bong Jovi honestly that sucks, but all of these players deserve it but I think lowlifes attacking the fans is disappointing

@@wyattlampman nah, there were a good amount of people who didn't want to be a part of it

And clutch hitting by the Nats

2005 White Sox, game 2 ALCS. Angels had that series.

Not reallly, Judge,Gary,Severino,Gleyber,Ursshela,Hicks,Gardener,Paxton,Kahnle,Happ, were all either traded for it drafted and developed through the farm system. Also DJ wasn’t paid a ton of money and we didn’t give him a ton of money.

Late 90s didn’t have any power hitters besides guys past their prime (chili Davis, strawberry, justice) all their guys could hit 30 HR, but were not HR hitters at all, especially for the time. Posada, jeter, O’Neil, Martinez, knaublach, brosius, etc. they were more like the giants in that their pitching staff was all about playoff mode- pettite, cone, Clemens, Wells, el duque, irabu, and of course Mo- most of them were mediocre during the regular season but turned it on in postseason. They started getting power hitters and went o the playoff drought at the same time arod, Soriano, matsui, etc. also, you can’t forget how their field helped LH batters HR totals (granderson and Gardner perfect examples)

Since 02 yes. The dynasty Yanks were a top of the line pitching team...starters and pen...No true ace tho. The lineup was a high walk, high average and contact w/ moderate or even low HRs. After 01,when they couldn't fuckin hit off anyone not named Kim, they became a league average pitching team with a high walk, high HR slugging lineup. And won the division bc of their offense and Mariano. But this version of the Yanks coulda won a couple rings with a few more bounces in their favor. There's no right formula.

That is wii baseball music

Noah Wright it’s mario super sluggers lol

Try being a Tigers fan 😞😂

I'm a pirates fan so.............

Before this past year imagine being a Nats fan with great teams that choked. Just happy they finally put the pieces together.

game 2, as a Mets fan, thats the game that got away and changed the series. And the Mets also for some reason getting dominated by Weaver and Suppan who were just horrible in 2006

@@hmhm856 Especially Weaver.

And a rookie K-Rod

Rookie K-Rod was just AMAZING

I don't know. Outside of Madison Bumgarner, Giants pitching in 2014 wasn't much better than the league average. On your theory, the Nationals should have won at least the NL pennant that year with their rotation of five starters each with an ERA lower than the league average, four of them with an ERA below 3.15, and that was before they signed Max Scherzer. Their bullpen was even pretty solid. But we see where that all got them, a loss in the NLDS to the aforementioned Giants. One thing we do know is that postseason baseball is a weird bird--maybe only 25% of the time does the best team in baseball for the regular season actually win the championship, which is about the lowest percentage in any American pro sport.

When there’s only 10 players on the court each player is going to be more important. An individual player can have more effect on a game since they play offense and defense.

@@GoRavens520 yeah but most stars in the NBA today go out of their way to completely control and dominate the game. My favorite bball teams are teams like the 04 Pistons that were well rounded and played together well.

I mean i whole hearted disagree with this statement. The main reason i got into baseball was albert. It's actually awesome when you can watch greatness. The pistons are fun for a second but to have a long period of it makes the sport suck. Most baseball teams are built like basketball teams. They have strengths and the hope the other side of the ball doesnt f it up. The giants had no right to win the 2014 world series but MAD carried them. That awesome to see. Thats why basketball is amazing. Seeing players that are on another level vs people that are already on another level. But i get it you probably have never been good at anything so you hate it when you see someone so good that they make people that are also absurdly good look like bums.

Well baseball is one of the only sports where u have to rely on an actual team look at the angels at worst top 3 1-3 hitters in the league but have shit pitching

Lol in no other team sport can 1 person be the whole defense. Now baseball is different than just that but it is possible. So no it's not over football for a major reason. The big reason is you don't play as a team on offense like in football.

Not Raul Mondesi, although he did play for the Royals that year - he wasn't a factor. He (kinda famously?) made his big league debut...in the World Series...and only got one ab. You might be thinking of designated runner Terrance Gore though :P
