It's funny because that's pretty much what happened in the Mets series, only instead of the entire team it was just, "Make Pete Alonso have to think." Every time Alonso got put into a situation where he had to make a quick decision he just short-circuited.
Not a huge commenter on RUclips, but the breakdown of the Rizzo-Cole play was incredible. Finding two comparable plays to overlay and show what each player expected was fascinating. Hats off to Jomboy
yeah it really was, and it further cements me in thinking most of that is on rizzo (and for the record I might be the biggest critic of cole you can find, i think his contract and performance is atrocious and i find him to be a jerk who cant control his emotions during games and gets pissy at teammates), and seeing them side by side its so painfully obvious that rizzo messed up from the start, and the reason cole let up is almost certainly because of the play earlier when the same type of hit against the same batter happened and rizzo took it.
@@TheFamousMockingbirdI do agree with you that Rizzo is to blame for this play as much as Cole is. But as a pitcher you’re still taught to go to first base and if he did they would have been out of the inning. It was a bad mental error on both of them.
@@TheFamousMockingbird I disagree....I may be biased because I'm a life long Cubs fan and Rizzo is one of my favorite players ever....but in that situation whether Cole believes Rizzo can make the play or not he still should have been hustling to first base and given Rizzo the option of calling him off and running it himself or tossing an underhand to Cole....no matter how hard or easy a play like that looks to both players...they still HAVE to do their jobs and Cole's job on that one is to make himself available to Rizzo as an option if he is needed or not....regardless of how the first play went because Cole didn't cover that time either.
If ESPN spent their resources on doing in-depth analysis like Jomboy, ESPN wouldn't be utter trash and losing viewers and losing money. But ESPN is a slave to THE MESSAGE.
The overlay of the plays at first is why we love Jomboy. Perfectly breaks down the scenario, does an insane level of research, knows the game in and out, and makes it incredibly easy to understand
We do love Jomboy! But he does not "perfectly" break this down. At 7:27 when side-by-side comparing the 1st inning with the 5th, Jomboy says "Cole never points here". But Cole DID point, in both plays! Jomboy should have laid into Cole for his lazy-a$$ pointing. What is that pointing? Does that mean "Hey I'm too lazy to run over there so you do it."? Anyway... I'm a Dodgers fan, so this was not "the worst inning", this was "The Greatest Inning in World Series History!"
@@oldhickory4686 And the Dodgers have that in spades, Clean, crisp baseball. Just have to tip your hat. Dodgers scouting report nailed it. Hopefully that report will change things next season.
Hurt him even more to watch it live and in person and watch the dodgers celebrate in front of his favorite team now he has to watch it all over again giving close ups and everything.
Eh. I think it hurt him to make it. I assume posting it was almost a relief, much like when you finally finish your taxes and get to write the check. Emphasis on “almost”.
I’m a hockey guy, rarely ever do I watch baseball. But your live streams and break downs of this series have really turned me into a fan of the sport! Thanks for such great content Jimmy and Jake
@@unawesome-.-jello i'm an assistant coach on a little league team and let me tell you, we have all our boys go get a tarot card reading, if they have a bad reading, they are immediately exiled from the team. we've won 15 world championships with this method, very effective.
@@pauld7704 It's an organizational philosophy, though. Boone can only do so much with some of these guys. The Yankees like a "type" of player, the same way that Al Davis used to think that drafting the fastest runner would lead to Super Bowls.
@@pauld7704 tbf, boone didn't put that team together. I think he's had the job for so long because he's a bit of a meat puppet for cashman. I don't dislike him, but he prolly would have been fired a couple years ago if he weren't something of a yes-man for cash. /2cents
You nailed it. I coach LL13 - 14. My assistant coaches from the last 3 years, who is our pitching coach, texted me immediately after that play. “Show this to every pitcher”
The analysis of the Cole/Rizzo play at first base, with the comparisons and the overlays, is the best I’ve seen of this weird play. Very enlightening. In fact, neither of them is the only one to blame, both are at fault, big time, but in another way it can be viewed as a case of miscommunication, each one thinking what the other should have done and didn’t do…
Even if Cole thinks Rizzo has it covered, it is not clear why Cole doesn't cover first base just in case. Why the hesitation by Cole? What else does Cole have to do in that scenario? It looks like Cole got lazy and did not hustle.
Cole is at least 99% at fault. You are taught as a pitcher to cover the bag at the little league level. Period. End of discussion. Cole was more concerned about his "look at me" strut to the dugout than he was about playing fundamental defense. But hey, he did point to the bag as if that was somehow helping.
@@nickgoesvestmode They're both at fault but Cole more so. I think the eye test makes it seem like it's Rizzo's bc of the shorter distance to the bag but fundamentally it's Cole's. I just watched The Comeback on Netflix and literally Schilling with his bleeding nub for an ankle was hustling to first base in a similar play. If that man can do that, Cole should be able to as well no matter how gassed he might have been.
Yeah but coming from a team that's done nothing but buy players for the last 10 years, and couldn't win it until a short season, and when a team that always chokes made it to the WS, it's kinda rich.
@@bobbygetsbanned6049 like the yankees never bought their rings lol. Also, dont forget about the astros cheating. it should have been yankees and dodgers in 2017
@bobbygetsbanned6049 that's wrong because most of dodgers pitchers r farm system, core players as well were farm or players signed when they were low value. but yes dodgers spend big money and will prob resemble the og yankees dynasty over this next decade or so.
Dodgers scouting (and other back officr stuff) has always been excellent, for decades. Back in 1988, Kirk Gibson knew what pitch Dennis Eckersley was going to throw because the scouting report said that with a certain combination of count, men on base, and number of outs, Eck tended to throw the same type of pitch in the same spot. Gibson actually remembered the scouting report and looked for that exact pitch and the rest is history.
Oh my god there’s so much more good stuff to find from Jimmy (the person in the video), Jomboy (the company as a whole), and everything else they create (the warehouse games) I wish I could rediscover the company for the first time again
Yeah, actually Jomboy is how I got to like baseball too, or at least appreciate it. I love how he breaks down other sports around the world from an outsider's perspective too. Just a genuine sports fan.
If Kiki Hernandez doesn’t hustle, Judge still gets him at second. He hustles to third, forcing Volpe to hurry the throw. Mookie still needs to hustle to beat Rizzo to the bag. Follow all that with two clutch hits to cash in. Yes, the Yankees did everything they could to hand the series to the Dodgers, but the Dodgers did everything they had to do to execute and take advantage of those mental errors.
the only part I disagree with is that he had to throw to 3rd why not go second and first for the double play one run wouldnt kill you when it is 0-5. That would've set them up far better.
@ True. And making it worse, Rizzo and Cole made the same play successfully earlier in the game, so half-assing it in the 5th inning was even more inexcusable for both.
I just got back in baseball this post season and every team the Yankees would play they would always make numerous dumb ass mistakes that was clear as day whether it was against the orioles, the royals, guardians, and the dodgers. That’s why they lost.
The seed interstitials are killing me; it's like the only thing Boone knows how to do well is house quite possibly the worst snack in existence. Mad props to the work on this one, Jomster, especially all the pitching breakdowns and the overlaying of the previous plays. That should-be out where Cole didn't get to 1st is going to haunt him, but maybe all these fairly easy errors might get the team to truly lock in and play with the poise that they desperately have needed for years now. At least, I hope it will.
The worst snack in existence? Lol what u want him to be scarfing down yodels and animal crackers in the dugout? Tell us u aren’t a baseball fan without telling us you aren’t a baseball fan.
Excellent breakdown. I had no idea why Cole wouldn’t cover first, but your overlay of similar ground balls made it make sense. Plus who knows how little damage would’ve been done if Judge caught that fly ball. Truly a team effort fuck up. The scouting report was spot on.
It’s the World Series though. It makes no sense. I’d understand if this was in May against the White Sox and he was a bit tired or sore and therefore didn’t cover 1st base but it’s an elimination game in the World Series, with the bases loaded!
100% Yankees would have won the game. Cole would have been able to pitch one more good inning because his arm wasn't shot pitching to 4 more batters. Shocking considering these guys get paid millions a year to execute the fundamentals at the most elite level, but they make several lazy or unfocused mistakes in the most important game of their lives.
Boone should have relieved Cole. 30 + pitches under real duress in that inning. But Boone got hell for relieving Cole in game 1, so he caved. The collapse was a real team effort.
8:21 The overlay of the play at first is next level analysis. Really shows how Cole really could have got there like any other play at first if he just covers like normal. But he made the mistake, as did a bunch of other Yankee players that inning. It cost them the chance at game 6 and bringing the series back to LA.
I know there were other errors in the inning, but Cole not covering first base was brutal. It was still 5-0 with two outs when it happened. Had Cole covered the bag and gotten Mookie Betts out no runs would have scored. Instead the floodgates were opened. Absolutely Brutal
There was no reason for Cole NOT to sprint. There's no other useful play for him. It's like a hitter not running hard to first on a probable ground out. Cole should have been there. What else is there for him to do on that play, rake the mound?
Easy to blame Cole for that one cover play, but really the Yankees defense self destructed long before Cole had any play to make. Cole pitched magnificently twice, bug his team mates abandoned him.
@@angusmoffat Absolutely. That play doesnt even happen if the either one of the other two plays are made. But it still is a blunder on Cole in the moment
He has a database where he can plug in all the parameters he wants and it spits out plays that match. He showed it on the video where he picks who he thinks should win the gold glove awards. Pretty cool!
@@ny2007mets Yeah that database seems like so much fun to mess with when he showd how he did it. I would probs spend stupid amount of time if I had access to that on random plays and shit lol
@@nursev1003 He said basically right after he was obviously on Mookies side.... In the moment the slow mo replay of him trying to rip a ball out was a funny visual and thats all. Shit the BROADCAST was even chuckling.....They clearly knew its wrong and you cant do that and said as much.
I watch every video of yours and this one is just fantastic. Not to say they aren't all great, but this one really stood out to me. Love your random off season content too, excited for that.
Amazing analysis. I love that even though his team lost, he still educates and takes the time to inform exactly what's happening. Down to like the family members in the crowds reactions, lol.
Great season coverage as always Jomboy! Thank you for getting people like myself more involved with the sport of baseball! I'm already excited for next season!!
I just found you… your breakdown is the best one I’ve seen in 4 years!!! So dope, glad I found you!!! Thank you.. stopping on the spin grip and throw / comparisons… beautiful work..
Fair play to you, Jimmy - this is a brutal video to have to make about your own team, but you gave it all the honesty and analysis and humour that you would have with any other club. Respect.
Can we take a second to appreciate just how good our cameras have gotten? We're able to see individual spins on the ball from a camera way out above center field. The detail visible in the side by side at 5:40 is fucking crazy
Unless it's footage from a challenged play. Then the only footage is from a Nokia flip phone recorded from a fan in the upper level because they still manage to fuck up half of the reviews.
@2:46 John Sterling, sports announcer for WFAN radio, said it best during one of the Kansas City playoffs. "The Yankees are stumbling around the bases like a bunch of drunks."
The scouting report also made the Dodgers do something they had not done in their previous playoffs and World Series appearances, and that is focus on getting guys on base as opposed to hitting home runs. Time after time in the playoffs in previous years, guys would swing big instead of trying to just get guys on base. But this year, we get World Series champions on a sacrifice fly.
Yep. Balls in play and finding ways to cash in runs even if it's a sac fly or RBI groundout, much better than years past when Chris Taylor is up there trying to hit a 5 run HR
I've been following your channel for years, I never imagined how you could take your videos to the next level, but man, this painful breakdown for all of the Yankees fan is incredible, detailed and amazing, I just can't imagine how much effort took you to browse through games in order to find the plays to compare and overlay them, so happy there's a guy like you out there doing this for all of us!
Cheers to Jomboy for this analysis. I know it hurt to make but it’s by far the best breakdown I’ve seen. No bias or whining and excellent insight. Real journalism.
The Dodgers being willing to hand Joel Sherman their scouting report on the Yankees is truly spiking the ball. And what a report. Yeah they got good players but they’re kinda shit at actual baseball LOL.
@@Kylora2112 I got considerable pleasure from watching Jeter die inside over the collapse -- but more because he's now just another Yankees fan, not because of who he was as a player (severely overrated as a fielder, but hard not to like as a person). I also noticed A-Rod _not_ in that type of distress, and that probably means something too.
If it brings you any consolation, this was the first World Series I've watched in over 20 years because you got me interested in baseball with your breakdowns. Loved the livestreams during the games, too. Would love to see more NFL breakdowns btw
Amazing breakdown. To the layman, it looks like the Yankees just choked but this sheds some light on what really happened with all those errors. This is next level analysis, especially with the overlay comparisons and that scouting report on the Yankees. Respect to Jomboy and his team.
Not to mention: STOP WITH THIS SIDEWAYS GLOVE CRAP! Yes, I know, it's taught that way so you can setup your throw quickly. But that play exemplifies why it's not fundamentally sound. Outfielders should stick to "basket catches," and have the arm good enough to still get the runner.
Great breakdown JB. The zoom and synch on Judge, the shohei AB analysis was awesome, going back two years to find an identical play to rizzo-coles mistake. Excellent work man
I was at work in California and noticed the game was at 5-0 in the top of the 5th and thought well dang. Guess I'll get to watch a game Friday but I thought Flaherty woulda had it. As I was leaving work a bit later I saw 5-5 in the bottom of the 5th and actually laughed.
theyve been blowing playoff games since 2010, and they were already down 3-1 in the series, it was likely they were gonna lose the series regardless. Lastly, they've blown many regular season games too with sloppy base running and fielding. This is nothing new.
The real thank you goes to you Jomboy, for all your hard work this season! Bringing us great content from the sport we love (and other ones too) with your insight, storytelling and humour. I know this breakdown was probably not fun to make and a bummer how the season came to a close from a Yankee perspective, but we appreciate the knowledge and analysis you provide. Looking forward to what’s in store next!
Offseason breakdown suggestion for ya Jimmy: Tour de France Femmes. Reigning champion and HEAVY favorite Demi Vollering was crashed by her teammate on stage 5. Team left her completely alone and she lost time to other favorites. Ended up losing the entire tour by only FOUR seconds. One of the worst pieces of team tactics in sports history, which lead to one of the greatest finishes in cycling history on stage 8. Would be amazing for a breakdown
This very well could be Jomboy’s magnum opus. It’s like a Greek tragedy; a crushing defeat of the hero. 2001 still stings; this one will too. The synthesis of skills collected over the years - references to primary sources, the overlays, the lip reading, etc. - are just top notch. It’s just baseball, but man, I fully appreciate your dedication to your craft.
I never considered myself a sports fan, but I am so happy I came across your channel. You have an excellent way of explaining what’s going on, not only in baseball, but in all of the different sports you have shown. And even though you are not a Dodgers fan, you are clearly a baseball fan, and that really comes across. It was a very interesting inning, and you helped me truly appreciate it! And I really love the fan and player reactions you show. It makes me reconsider whether I should get more involved with my local teams. Thanks for all you do.
I'm not a baseball guy but a friend of mine recommended us this video to learn about the worst inning in baseball that just happened. This video is incredible. I literally didn't think detail like this was possible to bring to baseball, ESPN is sitting themselves because there's no way they'll ever make such engaging and detailed content. Subscribed and ready for more of this sport I've never followed before
This is why I follow this channel because him breaking it down in the air about the first base and see what happened mentally I love this major shows don’t do this. He went back weeks to get more information that shows us the overlay. I love this thank you very much.
The overlay of the two plays with Betts and then the one with the Red Sox was actually pretty interesting because I did see a few people saying “it wouldn’t have mattered since Mookie would have beat him to the bag” but the overlay shows otherwise. It would have been close but if executed they would have had him for sure.
@@dwaneanderson8039tbh I don’t think Cole beats him out. Mookie half way there by the time Rizzo even gathers the ball. Most 1B will take it them selves rather risk a slow release of the ball or bad toss and it gets dropped.
@donleonard4446 Its close. Fairness to Cole.. the baseball started practically on the first base line.. but, look where it ended up? How is Cole to know the baseball would pull Rizzo further away from first base?
Dodgers: How do we beat this World Series team?
Scouting report: Make them play baseball.
Calling the Yankees "talent over fundamentals" is an absolutely SCATHING assessment, and it turned out to be true.
Cockiness over reliable?
It's funny because that's pretty much what happened in the Mets series, only instead of the entire team it was just, "Make Pete Alonso have to think." Every time Alonso got put into a situation where he had to make a quick decision he just short-circuited.

Haha, well not sure about PHD level but where else can you hear "Boonesey's a bag full of seeds"!?
2:20 zooming in on Judge's face, showing that he took his eyes off the ball at the last second, is taking analysis to the next level.
It's like a wide receiver that turns his head upfield RIGHT BEFORE he gets his fingers on the pass and WHOOPS.
That is really quite something.
come on, this is the jomboy standard. this is the greatness he gives to us. i welcome you on his behalf

The worst thing that could happen is a collision. Players will instinctually avoid each other. Odds are in your favor if you just cover the bag.
"Ball-base-backup" on every play. Cole did none of those. "Keep your eyes on the ball." Judge forgot the basic rule of catching a ball.

@ He was closer to third and moving in that direction, so throwing to Chisum probably seemed easier at the time. “Seemed” being the operative word.
Kike also rounded when nearing 3rd base so make Volpe's throw more difficult. Heads up play.

That scouting report is brutal…. and ended up being totally correct.
That whole inning the Yankees looked like buddies who only play on the weekends
But not for the last couple weekends
You forgot they play like this for 260MM dollars.
Stark contrast to the Dodgers spending like 8 hours a day together to stay locked in.
Kinda their whole vibe in general tbh.
who can't play catch
I'm not into baseball at all but your commentary and breakdown had me hooked the entire video! Great stuff!
Jomboy with the heavy foreshadowing in this one 😂
😂 its hitting him lmao
Made me crack up.
“Just a pop-up to Judge, EASY catch…”
“A ground-ball to first, very EASY play…”
The scouting report was simple in plain sight and spot on lol

Mad props to the work on this one, Jomster, especially all the pitching breakdowns and the overlaying of the previous plays. That should-be out where Cole didn't get to 1st is going to haunt him, but maybe all these fairly easy errors might get the team to truly lock in and play with the poise that they desperately have needed for years now. At least, I hope it will.
The worst snack in existence? Lol what u want him to be scarfing down yodels and animal crackers in the dugout? Tell us u aren’t a baseball fan without telling us you aren’t a baseball fan.
@@TheGilleniumDo all the players still use chewing tobacco?? What's wrong with animal crackers? They're more American than sunflower seeds. Fight me
Excellent breakdown. I had no idea why Cole wouldn’t cover first, but your overlay of similar ground balls made it make sense. Plus who knows how little damage would’ve been done if Judge caught that fly ball. Truly a team effort fuck up. The scouting report was spot on.
It’s the World Series though. It makes no sense. I’d understand if this was in May against the White Sox and he was a bit tired or sore and therefore didn’t cover 1st base but it’s an elimination game in the World Series, with the bases loaded!
100% Yankees would have won the game. Cole would have been able to pitch one more good inning because his arm wasn't shot pitching to 4 more batters. Shocking considering these guys get paid millions a year to execute the fundamentals at the most elite level, but they make several lazy or unfocused mistakes in the most important game of their lives.
@@repealthepatriotactwell tbf Cole got 2 more good innings after that too. He probably could've gone 8 or pitched the full game with how hot he was.
I think he was piss off with the first two errors by judge and the shortstop 😮
He did the same thing in the first inning as well, just pointed at the guy, you do it. Showed it here.
what an amazing breakdown, especially on the rizzo-cole mistake. Honestly I put that on Cole way more, that's a basic drill, why stop running?
Talent over fundamentals
Yup. Rizzo's mistake was assuming Cole would do his job. Cole's mistake was not doing his job.
I think Cole was gassed man. He’s been throwing huge number of high stress high impact pitches.
How many pitches had he thrown at that point? Was already starting to gas out. Nobody ever went to the mound to give him a breather.
@@dfchang813 This yeah. Cole was gassed and demoralized. Definitely his fault though, but his team tilted him.
As a Red Sox fan, this is one of the best RUclips videos I’ve seen this year. So satisfying! Thank you Jomboy and congrats LA
Troll them in 2025! Bill Buckner Yankees!! Entire team became Bill Buckners
Boone throwing back bag of seeds then washing it down and then throwing back more just had me 😂
Lolololol right......And the machine gun sounds he made when boone spits em out 😂
He was STRESSING
Dude knew he needed to load up on salt because there would be plenty of crying after the baseball. (There's no crying in baseball.)
The fact that’s all he did during that inning is amazing
Boone should have relieved Cole. 30 + pitches under real duress in that inning. But Boone got hell for relieving Cole in game 1, so he caved. The collapse was a real team effort.
8:21 The overlay of the play at first is next level analysis. Really shows how Cole really could have got there like any other play at first if he just covers like normal. But he made the mistake, as did a bunch of other Yankee players that inning. It cost them the chance at game 6 and bringing the series back to LA.
I know there were other errors in the inning, but Cole not covering first base was brutal. It was still 5-0 with two outs when it happened. Had Cole covered the bag and gotten Mookie Betts out no runs would have scored. Instead the floodgates were opened. Absolutely Brutal
Cost them the World Series
There was no reason for Cole NOT to sprint. There's no other useful play for him. It's like a hitter not running hard to first on a probable ground out. Cole should have been there. What else is there for him to do on that play, rake the mound?
Easy to blame Cole for that one cover play, but really the Yankees defense self destructed long before Cole had any play to make. Cole pitched magnificently twice, bug his team mates abandoned him.
@@angusmoffat Absolutely. That play doesnt even happen if the either one of the other two plays are made. But it still is a blunder on Cole in the moment
Thanks for the intro, randy
The Boone seeds cuts are what make this breakdown for me hahahahahahaha
His face after the dribbler to first was priceless.
The foreshadowing at 00:35 from Jomboy is just layers such a masterpiece
He foreshadows Judge's error nicely too by showing his terrible glove positioning on the earlier fly ball that he caught.
Great catch! (You, not judge)
Right on
@MarkRosa yoooo another good example 00:30 00:45 completely flew over my head and I did not notice that love the subtle sarcasm in jomboys voice 😂
That shot of Judge's eyes as he misses the catch is VERY good. Nicely done
This analysis is what we need in every sport. Thank you for your unreal dedication 🫡
why this dude doesnt have a show on ESPN amazes me. Probably because he would put all the other analysts to shame.
@@spencerdickson9693 They can't afford his genius
0:12 The faceovers have always been my favorite and literally make me smile or laugh aloud. Thank you. Love you. "Tell 'em, Gramms."
judge almost f'd up on that flyball SO BADLY that Kiké could have NEARLY been thrown out! ugh imagine if that'd happened lol
Been waiting for this…😅
Me too 😂
Yep
this is a show of class
😂
Was looking for this comment cause we all knew it was coming 😂
That scouting report is poetry
Absolute masterclass of this breakdown, NO ONE does it like you. Thanks for all you do
Finding that two-year-old Vazquez play shows some incredible dedication to the breakdown.
I imagine he looked through score cards of all Cole’s starts, found every 1 Unassisted and every 1-3 out and worked his way from there
He has a database where he can plug in all the parameters he wants and it spits out plays that match. He showed it on the video where he picks who he thinks should win the gold glove awards. Pretty cool!
@@ny2007mets that seems easier than what I said. Almost as easy as holding on to a 7 win lead with only 17 games left to play 🧐🤭🤔
@@ny2007mets Yeah that database seems like so much fun to mess with when he showd how he did it. I would probs spend stupid amount of time if I had access to that on random plays and shit lol
The pain and agony this man went thru and then was forced to break down the most horrific part…damn jimmy hats off
he broke down the Freddie grand slam in game 1 when the ball hadn’t even landed yet. Jimmy is a consummate professional
@@NestMartexcept when he’s laughing at the fans grabbing Mookie’s hands
@@nursev1003 He said basically right after he was obviously on Mookies side.... In the moment the slow mo replay of him trying to rip a ball out was a funny visual and thats all. Shit the BROADCAST was even chuckling.....They clearly knew its wrong and you cant do that and said as much.
I watch every video of yours and this one is just fantastic. Not to say they aren't all great, but this one really stood out to me. Love your random off season content too, excited for that.
Amazing analysis. I love that even though his team lost, he still educates and takes the time to inform exactly what's happening. Down to like the family members in the crowds reactions, lol.
The seed spitting sound was hilarious 🤣10:50
Great season coverage as always Jomboy! Thank you for getting people like myself more involved with the sport of baseball! I'm already excited for next season!!
because you can do these types of breakdowns where your team is failing without bias. RESPECT! Thanks.
The worst part of the World Series was having to watch Boone pour whole packs of seeds into his mouth and just spit them everywhere
He was stocking up on salt, he knew he'd be crying later.
Hey he's trying to turn Yankees' Stadium into a sunflower field so they have some flowers to lay on their team's grave later
Sunflower seeds are supposed to be cracked, not chewed!
I just found you… your breakdown is the best one I’ve seen in 4 years!!! So dope, glad I found you!!! Thank you.. stopping on the spin grip and throw / comparisons… beautiful work..
I just found him also. This was a great video.
Fair play to you, Jimmy - this is a brutal video to have to make about your own team, but you gave it all the honesty and analysis and humour that you would have with any other club. Respect.
Can we take a second to appreciate just how good our cameras have gotten? We're able to see individual spins on the ball from a camera way out above center field. The detail visible in the side by side at 5:40 is fucking crazy
We went from "I think that's a baseball...could be a resin bag, though" to "I can see the DNA of the cow that leather came from."
@@Kylora2112 what a time to be alive.
Unless some joker is getting another picture of Bigfoot.
Unless it's footage from a challenged play. Then the only footage is from a Nokia flip phone recorded from a fan in the upper level because they still manage to fuck up half of the reviews.
@2:46 John Sterling, sports announcer for WFAN radio, said it best during one of the Kansas City playoffs.
"The Yankees are stumbling around the bases like a bunch of drunks."
The scouting report also made the Dodgers do something they had not done in their previous playoffs and World Series appearances, and that is focus on getting guys on base as opposed to hitting home runs. Time after time in the playoffs in previous years, guys would swing big instead of trying to just get guys on base. But this year, we get World Series champions on a sacrifice fly.
Yep. Balls in play and finding ways to cash in runs even if it's a sac fly or RBI groundout, much better than years past when Chris Taylor is up there trying to hit a 5 run HR
AND you get the Game 1 walkoff grand slam.
Man, that scouting report is harsh. It also seems to be true, but damn.
Scouting report: they’re actually kinda bad at baseball
Seems?
@@samuelwyatt7846the opposite: they've become complacent because they're so good at baseball
Just brutal
“Play like men and the opponent will fumble like little boys”
they are the cowboys of the mlb
I've been following your channel for years, I never imagined how you could take your videos to the next level, but man, this painful breakdown for all of the Yankees fan is incredible, detailed and amazing, I just can't imagine how much effort took you to browse through games in order to find the plays to compare and overlay them, so happy there's a guy like you out there doing this for all of us!
Thanks for posting this! I'm a Dodger fan but a huge fan of your work too. Love what you do for baseball
Judge will be at New Year’s Eve Times Square for the ball drop!
You dun goofed A A Ron!
Oof
I see what you did there
Cheers to Jomboy for this analysis. I know it hurt to make but it’s by far the best breakdown I’ve seen. No bias or whining and excellent insight. Real journalism.
It was so ridiculous that Aarone Boone didn't even call a stop and just stand there watching them destroy themselves
Boone made a bunch of terrible decisions. Nestor?!
Unless he wasn’t surprised. Then it makes total sense
Putting in Kahnle.. I called that one to my wife. I just knew runs would be scored off him. There's only so much time you can do well with a changeup.
What was his purpose here in the most important game of the year on the highest possible stage? Sunflower seeds? Put this guy out to pasture
Cole shoulda tapped his head like Anthony Richardson
Theeeeee yankees lose!
Haha
“DAAA JAAANNKEEEES LOOOSSEEE!!!” - in David Ortiz’s voice
Gotta love when a fan of a franchise who has made the playoffs 5 times in 30 years and has no World Series wins talks about the Yankees losing
@@loganbradshaw7781 haha salty
@@loganbradshaw7781 remind us again how many dollars the Yankees have spent since their last world series lmao
Judge had ZERO errors all year until that one. He started an avalanche.
Was waiting for this lol. Feel your pain buddy
"Is more bad stuff going to happen?"
JOMBOY Grade: A+
Thank you, this doesn't get old👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hat's off to Jomboy for posting this breakdown. Must have been painful
He was actually at the game watching this meltdown live!
It was so great! Loved every second of watching those mooks implode! Dodgers are a far superior team.
The only comfort I have is that this wasn't a game 7, Yanks never would've beat the Dodgers in LA anyway.
The Dodgers being willing to hand Joel Sherman their scouting report on the Yankees is truly spiking the ball. And what a report. Yeah they got good players but they’re kinda shit at actual baseball LOL.
And fans have been saying that all year…the Yankees are bad at fundamentals.
They were apparently worried they might have to play the Guardians.
I mean, Derek Jeter got to be an insult to the shortstop position for 20 years there...
They made similar mistakes against the Royals and Guardians. But there they could get away with it.
@@Kylora2112 I got considerable pleasure from watching Jeter die inside over the collapse -- but more because he's now just another Yankees fan, not because of who he was as a player (severely overrated as a fielder, but hard not to like as a person). I also noticed A-Rod _not_ in that type of distress, and that probably means something too.
If it brings you any consolation, this was the first World Series I've watched in over 20 years because you got me interested in baseball with your breakdowns. Loved the livestreams during the games, too. Would love to see more NFL breakdowns btw
Amazing breakdown. To the layman, it looks like the Yankees just choked but this sheds some light on what really happened with all those errors. This is next level analysis, especially with the overlay comparisons and that scouting report on the Yankees. Respect to Jomboy and his team.
Remember kids, never take your eye off the ball and watch it straight into your glove.
Turns on TV: 🤔
Not to mention: STOP WITH THIS SIDEWAYS GLOVE CRAP! Yes, I know, it's taught that way so you can setup your throw quickly. But that play exemplifies why it's not fundamentally sound. Outfielders should stick to "basket catches," and have the arm good enough to still get the runner.
Fantastic and humorous analysis. The amount of work this takes to research, write and produce. Hard to imagine. Wonderful content. Thank you.
Jomboy literally does the absolute best at breaking down plays and games. Number 1 of everyone on all platforms.
I literally thought to myself "RUclips hasn't recommended Jomboy to me in a while" 10 minutes ago. Baseball gods be praised 🙏🏻
Google is inside our heads. I wish I were kidding.
Dude, that 1st base play breakdown with overlays was amazing. Probably the best analysis I've ever seen.
Great breakdown JB. The zoom and synch on Judge, the shohei AB analysis was awesome, going back two years to find an identical play to rizzo-coles mistake. Excellent work man
0:42 very subtle foreshadowing by only the first two at bats of the game
I was at work in California and noticed the game was at 5-0 in the top of the 5th and thought well dang. Guess I'll get to watch a game Friday but I thought Flaherty woulda had it. As I was leaving work a bit later I saw 5-5 in the bottom of the 5th and actually laughed.
Funny, this is exactly what happened to me.
ill be honest, i went to the gym thinking the game was over lol
Living on the other side of the world, my dad decided at 5-0 that the game was up and went back to sleep. Missed everything.
That Yank fan that grabbed Mookie cursed your team. Jomboy cheering for that fan that grabbed Mookie cursed your team. Well done!
Good to see that you are so upset but you still support the channel.
@@christopherobrien5757 of course, if anyone should call out jomboy’s bullshit, it’s their fans.
@@georgeka8072 fair enough
theyve been blowing playoff games since 2010, and they were already down 3-1 in the series, it was likely they were gonna lose the series regardless. Lastly, they've blown many regular season games too with sloppy base running and fielding. This is nothing new.
💯💯 absolutely nailed it
Jomboy stocks through the roof after this one man, it's a work of art. Your passion for what you do shines through in your content, legitimately.
Broken down beautifully. I’m not even a baseball fan & I enjoyed the learning & informing on this channel. Educational!
The real thank you goes to you Jomboy, for all your hard work this season! Bringing us great content from the sport we love (and other ones too) with your insight, storytelling and humour. I know this breakdown was probably not fun to make and a bummer how the season came to a close from a Yankee perspective, but we appreciate the knowledge and analysis you provide. Looking forward to what’s in store next!
This is the only analysis I’ve watched and will watch. Thanks for you’re professionalism
Offseason breakdown suggestion for ya Jimmy: Tour de France Femmes. Reigning champion and HEAVY favorite Demi Vollering was crashed by her teammate on stage 5. Team left her completely alone and she lost time to other favorites. Ended up losing the entire tour by only FOUR seconds. One of the worst pieces of team tactics in sports history, which lead to one of the greatest finishes in cycling history on stage 8. Would be amazing for a breakdown
I can't stop myself from watching world series analysis after analysis, but this is the best one. It was worth waiting for.
I don’t follow baseball but this breakdown was incredible.

Just INCREDIBLE breakdowns! My gawd man, I'm sold on this channel!!!
This very well could be Jomboy’s magnum opus. It’s like a Greek tragedy; a crushing defeat of the hero. 2001 still stings; this one will too.
The synthesis of skills collected over the years - references to primary sources, the overlays, the lip reading, etc. - are just top notch. It’s just baseball, but man, I fully appreciate your dedication to your craft.
I love that we can hear his disgust as a Yankees fan as he delivers this masterpiece.
Ain't nothing heroic about New York or the Yankees 🤣
9:17 huh, same conversation my wife & I had last night 😅
this video is the MOST AMAZING dissection of the action that I have ever seen in my 60 year old life. Major Kudos to the narrator
Best breakdown I’ve seen of this debacle. Thank you, Jomboy.
I never considered myself a sports fan, but I am so happy I came across your channel. You have an excellent way of explaining what’s going on, not only in baseball, but in all of the different sports you have shown. And even though you are not a Dodgers fan, you are clearly a baseball fan, and that really comes across. It was a very interesting inning, and you helped me truly appreciate it! And I really love the fan and player reactions you show. It makes me reconsider whether I should get more involved with my local teams. Thanks for all you do.
I'm not a baseball guy but a friend of mine recommended us this video to learn about the worst inning in baseball that just happened. This video is incredible. I literally didn't think detail like this was possible to bring to baseball, ESPN is sitting themselves because there's no way they'll ever make such engaging and detailed content. Subscribed and ready for more of this sport I've never followed before
If that was the scouting report that shit is legendary.
Dodger scouting report ON POINT!
This is why I follow this channel because him breaking it down in the air about the first base and see what happened mentally I love this major shows don’t do this. He went back weeks to get more information that shows us the overlay. I love this thank you very much.
The overlay of the two plays with Betts and then the one with the Red Sox was actually pretty interesting because I did see a few people saying “it wouldn’t have mattered since Mookie would have beat him to the bag” but the overlay shows otherwise. It would have been close but if executed they would have had him for sure.
The fact that they didn’t get the last out at first is 100% on Gerrit Cole.
The pitcher always has to get there to give an option, at very least.
Rizzo should have had Betts at first.
Yup. Every pitcher knows that on a grounder towards first, the pitcher must cover first base. The World Series is no time to get lazy.
@@dwaneanderson8039tbh I don’t think Cole beats him out. Mookie half way there by the time Rizzo even gathers the ball. Most 1B will take it them selves rather risk a slow release of the ball or bad toss and it gets dropped.
@donleonard4446 Its close. Fairness to Cole.. the baseball started practically on the first base line.. but, look where it ended up? How is Cole to know the baseball would pull Rizzo further away from first base?
