The 2017 Cleveland Indians, err, 2017 Cleveland Guardians? IDK, anyway, they had a 22 game win streak. It wasn't that long ago, but you may have forgotten! The Cleveland 22 game win streak is an MLB record for the most part. The 1916 Giants technically won 26 without losing, but had a tie in the middle of that streak.
Of course, 22 in a row is better than 20, the modern mark set by the 2002 Oakland Athletics AKA the Moneyball A's. It's a streak that was chronicled in both the bestselling book and 2011 Moneyball movie, starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane. In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I'll be making my pitch for a sequel titled Moneyball 2: 2 Money 2 Ball.
I'll need a Hollywood cast for this movie. Who will play Mike Chernoff? Terry Francona? Jose Ramirez? Francisco Lindor? All will be answered as I deftly form the plot of my Moneyball sequel all while analyzing the MLB record win streak. The hardest part is figuring out how to outdo the Chris Pratt Scott Hatteberg casting.

You have to admire Chris Pratt for his acting range. First Mario, now Fransisco Lindor. True Hollywood legend.
Very impressive stuff.
The only setback is me that he may not be a switch hitter

Nice pfp
You forgot another commonality that was crucial to these streaks. Both Cleveland and Oakland did not start Peña at first base
HES AN ALLSTAR DAVE
@@jadqn_ rookie of the year!
Also, anybody but Magnante first out of the pen.
Fun fact: Trevor Bauer was the starter in Cleveland's 23rd game that they lost. He was also the starter for UCLA's 23rd game after a 22 game win streak in 2010.
Baseball is just like that sometimes.
Classic Bauer
dont let him out there on big streaks
I’m a blue collar worker, been a tribe fan my whole life. I got tickets right behind home plate because of a work lottery. My buddy and I went to the 23rd game. They lost, told myself I’d never go to another game. The 2017 tribe is one of the best teams ever assembled
Was at that game when they ended the streak. Fans were great.
other fun fact: trevor bauer was not the starter in any dodger game this year and we dont rly want him back !
It’s a cruel irony that both teams ended up losing in the ALDS. Really goes to show that the postseason is an entirely different beast.
It is. I often think about how the 2001 Mariners lost the ALCS in 5 games.
In both seasons, the team that beat the protagonist lost in the ALCS. While the AL World Series winner beat an NL West powerhouse.
@@shoukatsukai let’s be real astros World Series that year didn’t count
@@philleotardo5829 then who won the world series that year
@@FoolishBaseball And still the last time the Mariners ever made the playoffs. Might be the longest postseason drought in all of sports.
Another Foolish Baseball video involving Moneyball is something that I have always wanted. Thank you very much Bailey.
your comments just spawn in with likes it's insane
@@FoolishBaseball it even confuses me sometimes.
@@RetroBaseball I was the 69th like I want money for that
@@joeyhudson5880 how about no, the A's don't have enough money for that
@@giovannieusebi955 💀
As someone who attended the first and final game of this win streak and watched every game in between, I can attest that this is probably the most magical moment in Indians/Guardians history.
The second most magical moment was finding out Fausto Carmona isn't Fausto Carmona
@@FoolishBaseball more like fausto crapola
Nah the most was raja Davis’s 7th inning homer against the cubs now that was wicked even though we lost
You're right. Being featured in a Foolish Baseball vid is the high watermark for any franchise
*WTF do you mean by "Guardians"?
Scott Hatterberg will forever be celebrated in A’s History
Don't you mean Chris Pratt?
Chris Pratteberg
He’s so cool
Why? Did he win a ring? No that’s a joke and a joke franchise
Known dinosaur fanatic, and parks and recreation worker in Indiana and guardian of the galaxy Scott hatteberg
When Lindor tied the game, and Jay Bruce hit that single to win it, everyone at the bar I was at erupted as if we had just won the World Series. Still one of my all time favorite sports memories as a Cleveland fan. Up there with Kyrie's game winner and Rajai Davis' game 7 home run against the Cubs.
No Eric Wright 100 yard pick six to go up 35-14 against the Giants in 2008 on Monday Night Football? SMH fake fan
Pls don't speak about that homerun. I don't want to wake up in cold sweat because of it anymore 😓
This is easily the dumbest and yet also my favorite video on this channel. The “Ties are for soccer” caught me off guard and was an absolutely S tier pun/reference.
Soccer is lame
@@Bozar069 I'm fan of both but I always find it amazing that baseball fans of all people will talk trash about football/soccer
Ties are for Suckers
@@YoyoF37 same, I love both for entirely different reasons, but they're similar in a lot of ways. Fans of both are pretty rare though.
About time anyone outside of Cleveland gave this streak the attention it deserves.
Thank you from Cleveland
Having Kluber, Carrasco, Bauer, Clevinger, and Miller out of the same bullpen was insane. We didn't end up breaking the then 69-year drought, but the excitement of following this team and listening to Hamilton's calls on the radio the whole way through are memories I'll cherish forever.
I think you said it best: someone wins it all every year, but no one has ever done this. At least we have that.
That Francisco Lindor script was incredible. Brought a tear to my eye
RIP Cory Lidle. Lost his life at 34 years old in a plane crash on October 11, 2006 just 4 days after pitching for the Yankees in the ALDS.
Most overlooked player of the 2002 Athletics. Everyone mentions that the A's had three aces, and Lidle wasn't an ace, but he was a good fourth starter. He was worth more than three and a half wins above replacement by either WAR metric. You don't win 100 games if your 4th guy is mediocre. If nothing else, he was certainly more important than anyone featured in the movie or book, but his story wasn't one that you write books or movies about. That doesn't mean he shouldn't at least be recognized as being a key contributor to the team.
Lifelong Cleveland fan, and this streak was so much fun to witness. In our restaurant, we had every game playing on the TVs, it was awesome seeing everyone get together and cheer for the team
This win streak does not get talked about enough. Good thing Moneyball 2: 2 Money 2 Ball will be a hit at the box office.
As a 16 year old fan who grew up watching this team, I'm glad I got to grow up watching something special. It's one thing to be a fan of some other team who watched this win streak after it was already historic, but it's another thing to watch it as a fan of the winning team before you even knew what was coming. I was devastated in the 2016/17 losses, but hopefully we can have our chance again soon.
I got to see the Braves win a World Series last year. They were 51-54 at this point in the season. Crazy things can happen.
@@FoolishBaseball This is why I LOVE baseball!!! It’s so hard to predict who will win it all!
@@FoolishBaseball It really was an absolute dream. I can hardly believe it even today.☺️
"because ties are for soccer" what a good line Foolish
soccer is the only sport besides hockey where a 0-0 final score can be an acceptable outcome from a viewing perspective, in every other sport a scoreless game is universally boring as fuck
@@technoturnovers7072 As should be IMO
God this content is so good. The narrative, wordplay, and comedy are masterfully done. Your work represents the difference between really good content and superb content. It appeals to the hardcore fans and engages casuals. Seriously, somebody (like the MLB) should be paying you to write/produce/narrate baseball content for the betterment of the fans and the game itself.
Jake Gyllenhaal and J.K. Simmons are fine casting but I think Moneyball 2 would work better as a one man show featuring Bartolo “Substantial Seductive” Colon
I see the vision
Bartolo can be John Analytics
You know that is a great day when foolish baseball uploads a video ⚾
It's a great day for me too!
It’s always a great day when baseball bits drops
It's good for me too. Always a relief.
As a former Indians fan and follow spyder lover, this was a ray of light in Cleveland. People were just happier during that time
1:46 I like how Bailey put himself in his “Dartboard of hot men”
This team was legendary. Brought me so many memories and I’ll never forget this time.
It's a shame to have been on the earth for 35 years and never seen my Cleveland baseball team win a World Series. So many good teams and prime opportunities. Hope to one day see my first sports love bring it home.
I guess you can say "at least we have Lebron"
When he said ties are for soccer i laughed so hard
ever since i followed you on twitter i know exactly what’s about to go down
My hints aren't always the most subtle
@@FoolishBaseball and that’s ok
Fun Fact - Cleveland was the team Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) was bought from in the original Moneyball
Maybe I’m just in a good mood but I feel like this is the funniest video Bailey has ever made
Thank you for revisiting the Cleveland streak of 2017. I actually missed it.
You know, there needs to be a Moneyball 3 about this year's Baltimore Orioles. I'm still thinking about a title and plot, we'll see what happens after the season.
Im finally able to be proud of being a marylander
As a CLE fan, I was fortunate enough to witness the final game of the streak, including the following game that ended it.
Never seen a city so electric over a regular season game.
This streak was the last time I was a happy sports fan. Thanks for taking me back
1:45
The exclusion of Bob Wickman here is as big as the exclusion of the utterance of the fact that Clayton Kershaw attended the same high school and played baseball with Matt Stafford whenever one attends a game of the other
Thank you baseball dad!
you're welcome baseball nephew
I remember as soon as Lindor hit that ball Reddit flooded with posts about how the streak was over. Incredible. Then I Rememeber the cheers of Bruuuuuuuuce
"With eight homers to just three strikeouts, he became the third hitter since 2010 to have eight or more home runs and three or less strikeouts in any eighteen game stretch since 2010 while mercury was in retrograde on a waxing moon, and DOW Jones gained between 100 and 300 points on a majority of the days."
Good video Tesla man
What a start to my day
all downhill from here
Hopefully not
Thank goodness someone made a video about this! I was at the final 3 games of the streak. 22 was insane!
I just finished watching moneyball for the tenth time. This is great!!!
Hopefully you'll be able to watch Moneyball 2 ten times as well
Another thing to mention, the Indians set a franchise record the year before for most wins in a row at 14. So I believe Window Nation had a promotion in 2017 that said if the Indians had a 15 game win streak, you would get your windows for free. That made a lot of people with new windows happy that year.
I must say, Mr. Baseball, that was your funniest Baseball Bits yet. It's a shame Cleveland lost in the ALDS, but luckily they have a long history of winning, especially after 1948.
I'm just imagining JK Simmons playing Terry Francona as J Jonah Jameson.
That works!
Few videos put as many consistent smiles throughout on my face as a Foolish Baseball vid. Loved it!
Never forget the 19 inning marathon for game 20 (21?). This team was so good during the regular season
I'm convinced that while this is an impressive feat the reality is that there are so many variables that make up the game that variance plays too large a factor. It's why so many games are played a season compared to other sports. It's why the very best teams of the live ball era have win loss records of somewhere in the low .7 range and why this and the 2002 Oakland run is down to variance swinging wildly in one direction, just like it did this season for the Angels to lose 14 in a row after starting the season with such a high win percentage.
That’s kind of the point, though cleveland did it pretty definitively, allowing 10 runs in 12 stars for your starters is a great way to win ball games. But it is definitely luck based, but not luck driven. That’s the way I’d describe it
@@pohorex6834 I don't consider variance and luck the same thing. Luck is a deck of cards being shuffled and there being a 60 percent chance that order has never existed before in history (true stat). Variance implies a multitude of variables. The barometric pressure, relative humidity, how well the bats have adapted to the new environment after being flown in, were the balls mudded properly, the the pitcher apply too much sticky stuff this at bat, the environmental factors are so multitudinous and mind numbing before you ever get the the players themselves.
@@joshuapatrick682 When I consider luck to be a part of the game, I am talking about how your entire team could in theory get 45 hits in a single game and still not score a run. The fact that that is possible is luck. It isn’t that extreme of course, but that’s still a possibility that exists.
YEEEESSSSSSS
BEST DAY IN MY LIFE SINCE THE LAST BIT WAS RELEASE
lul
How could a man get overlooked, with possibly the best baseball name, in MLBb history:
"Raul..... IB-_AÑEZ_ !!!!!"
Absolutely loved the personality shown in this video. Felt like a Foolish Bailey personality showing. Great video great execution
Oh my godddddd new Baseball Bits I needed this so bad. Also as a KC fan thank you for doing one on the 2014-2015 Royals
Just realized “Cleveland Baseball Team” has the acronym CBT.
Yan Gomes is quickly becoming a channel legend
great video! I loved the script graphics you created, definitely one of your funniest videos yet.
This video is quite difficult/painfil to watch from about the 5:20 mark forward, for I happen to be a lifelong diehard KC Royals fan--I know, diehard Royals fans are rare and hard to come by nowadays, HOWEVER, I was born in Kansas City, Missouri, nearly 36 years ago, and have lived within 30 miles of KCMO every year since. And it just happens that, being born in the first week of November 1986, it was almost exactly 1 year after the Royals had just won their first World Series in 1985. And for anyone who knows baseball, and in particular, Royals baseball, that 1985 WS victory also marked the last time we would even reach the playoffs for nearly 30 years, when in 2014, we'd surprisingly win the wild card and to make our first playoffs in 29 years, then surprise the world even more by sweeping our way into the World Series without losing a single Playoff game before heartbreakingly losing to the SF Giants in 7 games.
Of course we'd go on to make our second playoffs in a row the next season, have a slightly bumpier journey to the WS but make it there nonetheless, then go on to smoke 🚬 the NY Mets 4 games to 1, thus exactly 30 years after their previous WS title in 1985, Royals won the 2015 WS and would mark their 2nd franchise WS Banner and also their last WS banner and also the last time seeing the playoffs.
THANKS to the Indians in 2017, for what it doesn't mention in this video, but we were only 4.5 games back of Cleveland nearing the end of August before we eventually collapsed and, as we see in this video, Cleveland flourished with the longest winning streak in baseball history.
And since that 2017 season, my Royals haven't even sniffed the playoffs, havent had a .500 season, and have been essentially out of the playoff hunt by May each of those seasons.
To THIS day, I still say to myself “SIX SCORELESS INNING IN RELEIF!” Christian Martinez a legend.. 😂
It really amazes me how this team came to a screeching halt. I believe to finish off the regular season, they went around 35-4, which does include the 22 game win streak. The 2 games in the playoffs, which obviously includes that iconic game 2. They had all the momentum in the world other side. As a Cleveland fan, this still stings. Hopefully we’ll make another deep playoff run, and maybe even win the World Series.
Thy bits of baseball always bring me such glee
the bits cometh!
Love your channel man, great video!
Yet again a topic I never expected! Amazing video as always, they always make my day
Just got COVID. Thank you for making my day a little bit better Foolish!
“ :o Josh Gad!”
Why is this channel so funny lmao
it's a great day anytime baseball bits drops
What a good video, man. I wish all RUclips videos possessed the same quality and thoughtfulness. Bravo!
"why?...because ties are for soccer"
-Foolish
In terms of wins above average (b-ref stat), the 2011 Phillies have the best pitching staff of all time by a wide, wide margin. They too need a video.
This is my favorite Bits of all time 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I so wish Cleveland had won the World Series during their peak. Maybe it’s still to come…
Thanks Bailey I’ve been depressed for a while man but your videos get my mind off all the bullshit and I’m forever thankful for you
And my day just got a lot better with this upload. Thanks foolish!
You know what, I’m gonna be honest. I don’t even really watch baseball that much. But I have watched every single baseball bits video. So thank you Foolish Bailey.
Another great baseball bits thanks for the content
thank you!
Foolish Bailey would never start his video with an ad
nobody would be dumb enough to advertise with Foolish Bailey in the first place
@@FoolishBaseball yeah he’s unhinged
tim lecastro video was so perfect i never thought it could be topped, but here it is. the best baseball bits out there
ROYCE CLAYTON?!? He played AA ball for the Giants AA team, the Captains. They played here. ROYCE was a beast in Texas League Baseball back in the early 90s. Like 1990, 91. We had more than a few future major leaguers come through that organization back then. We were the best team in Texas League ball. Chili Davis played here. Tim Wakefields catcher, Doug Mirabelli, played here about the same time ROYCE did, IIRC.
Cody Bellingers dad, Clay Bellinger, played here. So did Rich Aurilia, Rick Honeycutt, and some a few others.
Found you after listening to the Baseball Tonight Podcast....glad I did!
Your vids always make my day brother. Thanks!
I really love and appreciate your "Ties are for soccer" line. Idk it you came up with it but it's quite clever
Hey! It was great running into you at the Braves Ohtani game. Great video as always. And yes, Cleveland Spiders has a nice ring to it.
Been waiting all month for another Foolish Baseball video! Less-a Go!!
Now I understand that tweet from a month ago
Banger vid of course
Keep making these they’re really really good
“John. My name is John Analytics.”😂😂
I do admire your upload schedule, Foolish!
i love how money ball never talked about the pitching staff that they had.
Basically 4 all stars as their top 4 pitchers. Harang, Zito Hudson and Mulder. Those guys won them all their games(basically) along with Chavez and Tejada....which had NOTHING to do with the moneyball that they talked about in the movie
It had everything to do with moneyball. They had those guys cheap. And is also why none of them stuck around much longer, couldn't afford to keep them once they got good.
You can't write a best-selling book or a script for an Oscar-nominated movie by saying drafting talented players and paying them rookie-scaled contracts makes it easier to win while on a shoe-string budget. It was a critical part of the A's philosophy, and continues to be something all teams now take into account, but there's no "Wow" factor to it.
Moneyball's biggest magic act is getting non-baseball fans engaged in the story, and it's easier to hook them in by finding some aspect of their success to romanticize, in easy-to-digest bits. Namely, $40 million team competes with $130 million team.
@@mrmacross great point. AGree.
I can't wait for Chris Pratt to say "It's a me, Francisco Lindor" in Moneyball 2: 2 Money 2 Ball. This will be the greatest piece of cinema the world has ever seen. Avengers: End Game, eat your heart out
On gang
Bless you.

one of the funniest bits yet
Foolish Bailey is what would happen if you fed an AI nothing but sabermetrics and reddit quips
Goddamned Nap Lajoie, always racking up the counting stats when it's easy, but all of a sudden a "sore hammy" when there's 22 games to be won. Pshaw
Keep up the great videos Bailey
thank you!
I'm finally coming back to baseball after a decade hiatus, and binging your videos has played a pivotal part in keeping me interested - so, thanks! This is my first time watching a release-day Baseball Bits, and I'm really excited!
One thing that's kind of hinted at when Beane meets with Shapiro in Cleveland is that they were already doing moneyball type stuff in Cleveland before "moneyball".
President of baseball ops Antonetti started in '99 as an assistant under AGM Shapiro and Chernoff joined the org in 2003 after working closely with Shapiro in his internship
most fun cleveland team in the last 20 years this streak was so amazing to watch
The current team is rather fun aswell
@@pohorex6834 agreed, jose in his prime surrounded by young talent has been a joy but also a rollercoaster lol
i really liked that ties are for soccer joke, banger as always
