The Bronx Is Burning - 6 - The Game's Not As Easy As It Looks, Fellas

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- the 1977 New York Yankees against the backdrop of New York City. Yankee superstar Reggie Jackson (Daniel Sunjata) and manager Billy Martin (John Turturro) are locked in a perpetual state of warfare. Jackson was a perfect foil for the scrappy Martin, a popular former Yankee player and reminder of the less complicated past of the team and the city. While owner George Steinbrenner (Oliver Platt) was a autocratic boss, he was also intent on keeping his promise to delivering a World Series title. The show also features subplots concerning the NYPD's pursuit of the Son of Sam serial killer that summer and the devastating blackout and resultant widespread looting in July, all while the city suffered through financial bankruptcy and massive municipal layoffs. Another subplot focused on the 1977 New York City Mayoral race featuring incumbent mayor Abraham Beame, former Congresswoman Bella Abzug, future Governor Mario Cuomo, and Congressman Ed Koch, the eventual winner.
there are 4 spots with dead audio where 4 Ramones songs had to be removed to prevent the video from being blocked worldwide.
Would it be possible to put subtitles there where the sound is down?
there isn't much dialogue and what there is isn't very significant. you're really not missing much.
Thanks for this information. I was wondering what was going on. Makes sense.
No sound now
Thank you for not cutting out Swallow My Pride. That song I love.
This miniseries is frigging gold. For a pure true fan of the game, it's a real treat to watch!
Sure was. Wish they would have made a sequel/follow up series on the 78 team, which would have been great for certain too.
I don't care how much this series disparages Billy Martin, I will always have Billy as my favorite manager.
it fairly portrayed Martin. Showed his brilliant managing, as well as his flaws. Certainly did not portray Steinbrenner favorably but was accurate. Same with Jackson and his arrogance
Always worth repeating what George Will said in Ken Burns' great Baseball documentary: millions of people each year pay to attend baseball games--not one of them goes to see an owner....
George Will is a communist who doesn't know anything about baseball.
@@DaveDaShrubber Dave, George Will is 81 and has been a Cubs fan since he was a kid; along with numerous essays and articles, he wrote a fine book about baseball called Men at Work: the Craft of Baseball; and has been featured prominently in Ken Burns Baseball documentaries. To say he. knows a lot about baseball would be quite an understatement.
@@DaveDaShrubber Do you go to the baseball park to see the owners? Yep, didn't think so.
@@patrickwalsh279 Not only is George Will a communist who doesn't know anything about baseball, but Ronald Reagan was a communist for enabling him.
@@DaveDaShrubber Think you need to get back to the psych ward and take your meds... ;-)
Imagine watching the ALCS and George Steinbrenner walks in. Pretty cool.
@@scottystcloud7086 And he fired his daughter's professor and replaced him with Gene Michael.
I'd have a TON of questions for him!
The fight with Brett & Nettles was classic......no one got thrown out or fined etc.....baseball was great.
Seriously this is an amazing mini series.
“Hey Larry Gura! Why don’t you put your whole family on base?” 😂
Gura was a Yankee in '75-'76. Martin considered Gura to be gutless, so Gura got traded to Kansas City for Fran Healy. Gura went on to win 117 games for the Royals, and Healy, well, he was a good friend to Reggie.
Great quality despite the dead spots, which is not the fault of the one posting-indeed it shows sophistication and ingenuity to get past “Big Content Controller.” One of my all time favorite baseball movies- with great editing, interspersing taped footage of the actual games with the drama in the dugout.
I love it when John Turturro plays Billy Martin and I love it when he argues with the umpire just like Billy Martin. I also love it when John says: _"Shalom!"_ at 15:28. I say _"Shalom!"_ too.
It should be pointed out that Reggie's numbers versus Splittorff career wise weren't that bad. He had hit about .265 in his career against him till that point and had even homered off him in 77. The problem was Reggie wasn't swinging well in the series, he was a lefty-hitter and Blair was righty, he was a far inferior outfielder to Blair, especially on artificial turf (Blair was probably the best defensive outfielder in the majors), but most important of all were Blair's numbers versus Splittorff. He had a career batting average of about .420 against him up till that point. Billy made the right move.
Billy martin = hof...its damn shame no one takes this serious
I forgot that Herzog also managed the Royals. But as we all know, he made himself famous managing the other Missouri team
Gullett did make it back for the WS, almost pitched a CG in Game 1 of the series, then he got shelled in Game 5, and after July of 1978 he never pitched again. He could have been a HOF but arm problems derailed him.
Yeah, I remember...
I'm a guy who wishes pitchers nowadays could go deeper into games like they used to, but I will admit the flip side to that could be Billy Martin. Guy just seemed to run pitchers into the ground, from Gullett and Catfish with the Yankees to the likes of Rick Langford and Mike Norris in Oakland.
20:04 - I was dying laughing when Lou Piniella lost it.
MehariNation Sports Podcast 😂
He had a history of destroying stuff in the clubhouse.
It was great and felt very real watching it. Love this series also Billy going off on Steve in postgame interview 😂
LP was hot tempered for sure...check out 4:34
Lou Pinella, affectionately known as "Sweet Lou" had the bulls-sack of a ball-player, managed the '95 M's -- a powerhouse of all stars: Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez, Tino Martinez, Randy Johnson, Jay Buhner; the '95 ALDS was a thrilling cavalcade of heroes
A fabulous book too!
I read the book in the summer of 2013. Fantastic! God bless Jonathan Mahler!
Rip Billy very relatable character
Fran Healey is the closest thing to an adult on the Yankees.
And at backup catcher, Fran Healy: The Reggie Whisperer
According to Graig Nettles, Fran Healy was Reggie's only friend on the team...
@@michaelbanaszak7775 According to a commentor a few paragraphs down, Nettles kissed Reggie on the lips.
ESPN+ needs to put this in their library.
Reggie Jackson’s pinch hit was the biggest hit of his Yankees career even more important then the 3 Home run game
harry dean stanton would of played an awesome billy martin
would have
As far as sports TV movies/series go, Turturro was much better here as Billy Martin than he was as Cosell in MNM, he never captured Howard's "essence," tho not an easy thing to do, admittedly.
Wow, Reggie Jackson did not start in the decivisive pennant game 5.
And here I thought the most outrageous thing i saw was when Joe Torre hit AROD 8th in the 2006 Division Series game 4 against the Tigers
Did George ever realize that he was the Last Guy the players ever wanted to see, or listen to, in the clubhouse?
Was that Graig Nettles kissing Reggie Jackson on the lips during that drunken celebration?? That was insanely funny stuff if that happened. Great baseball drama series!
It happened
I never heard that, but I remember a fight between Nettles and Jackson at a restaurant after they beat Oakland in the playoffs in 1981. Those teams had so many characters.
@@michaelschaefer1904 I read a nice quote from an article when a reporter once asked Graig Nettles what the greatest thing was about being a NY Yankee? His response was watching Reggie Jackson during batting practice. The reporter then asked Graig what the worst thing was about being a NY Yankee? His response was watching Reggie Jackson during batting practice. Never a dull moment during the mid-1970's and early 1980's with the NY Yankees with those players.
Lou Pinella used to whack a lot of stuff w his bat...read the Bronx Zoo by Sparky Lyle. Lou was so funny.
Healy to Rivers: shut the hell up Mick and get dressed! Lol!
Every team needs a Fran Healy. The role player who keeps the stars' egos in check.
Baseball was my passion as an 11 year old kid I appreciate this upload to contribute to the euphoria of my childhood
John Tarturro is amazing.
AWESOME Mini-series, as stated before! NOTE the Cameo of Steinbrenner's Daughter at College, by the way: Emily Wickersham, who starred on NCIS from 2010-2018.
Billy Martin did not speak like that.
This show is hard on billy...he wasnt the rube they portray...he should be in the hall of fame
I was thinking the same
@@orbonds3603 No one ever said he was a rube - often he was too clever for his own good. Along with the other strong negatives.
that's right Reggie says I'm the big man he sure was in the World 🌎 Series
8:05 Even though it's Royals/Yankees that's the voice of the Tigers, Ernie Harwell.
Harwell was the voice of MLB radio broadcasts as well.
@@donshults7772 Maybe The Producers/Executives could not get approval from the Yankees to get full radio calls of the White/Messiser/Scooter team.
Billy actually said that to a writer named Henry Hecht during the 1983 season.
See my comment with link.
Billy was Hamas?
Superb documentary
Um....do you know what a documentary is?
@@thelastmanonearth2631 whatever dude. Wrong term maybe.
@@charleswoodhouse4754 Um, definitely. Unless you like to call pizza's ice cream and cats dogs, then you're fine!
@@thelastmanonearth2631 I'm sorry. What word should I have used?
Fran Healy is a true friend, and he hated the BS going back and forth in the locker room!
that's good food in the clubhouse
The actress who played the daughter of G.S. is a cutie
You are a legend for dropping these. I’m a die hard Yankees fan. 34 and barely came across it about a week ago. Thank you 🫡💪🏼
killin me with the audio cut outs
The sound is being cut out during the game action
Jimmy Carter was so bad he caused me and millions of others to vote republican. For years.
Steinbrenner ought to have stuck to the navy blue blazers.
13:50 When the McRae slide play happened, it was the 6th inning and the Yankees were ahead 2-1 (This implies it was before the 5th, as the box score is shown after Martin returns to the dugout) The run that scored tied the game, but the Yankees scored 3 in the bottom of the inning. And Blair wasn't subbed in for Reggie until the top of the 9th, with the Yankees ahead 6-2.
That was some rivalry, Yankees-Royals 1976-1980
It still must have been a great rivalry in 1983 with George Brett and the Pine Tar game
Mick’s wife intentionally crashed cars, too.
She was tough I guess.
Ed Koch - THE WORST NYC Mayor of my lifetime.
And he's got some stiff competition: Lindsey, Beame, Dinkins, Rudy. DeBlasio.
The pressure was really on old Reggie, big star not hitting at all in the playoffs is a dark hole right between the eyes, I’ve seen it, like being on stage in front of thousands of people and forget the words of the song.
Why does the sound keep going away
i had to mute the music otherwise it wouldn't get past the content ID algorithm.
That sucks. Not your fault. Some great Ramones tunes!
The friend of Reggie was Brucie in the longest yard
He’s also Turturro’s brother.
Cousin Brucie?
Missing audio
42:30 great scene.
Mrs. Steinbrenner. I wonder what she was like?
21:55; is that dialogue taken from an actual interview Jackson gave at the time? Because what I hear in that scene is "I'm the big man; we all know that" and "My teammates are failing to set the table for me. The fact that I'm not providing at the plate, rendering whether the table is set for me or not a moot point, isn't important. My teammates need to step up."
Does anybody have a link to that?
you'll have to research the NY paper's archives. i know the times has an online archive. the News and the Post might be behind a paywall somewhere. even if he said it to other reporters, the Times might have articles from the time that reference those quotes.
This is our record b4 Jackson was hitting 4th this is our record after
😂😂😂❤❤❤
What a year, serial killer, black out, politics, and the Yankee fighting like children. Thurman how about dinner with Reggie, well if he pays lol 😂 joke.
Time stamp kind of post. President Carter had just recently gone into hospice. I am old enough to barely remember his last years in office. He wasn’t my favorite President in what I’ve learned about his economic policy. But I do believe he was a genuine good person and watching the clips of him looking at the blight- and what he did after office with habitats for humanity- hits me right in the feels.
just watched the bronx is burning on you tube makes you rerealize how much Martin and Steinbrenner were 2 ego maniacs,and how Reggie saved them
Did Steinbrenner actually believe all, or most, of the nonsense he said?
I love the Ramones songs in this series.
Whitey Herzog is in the Hall of Fame. Billy Martin is not. Bullshit.
Dead audio
One time I watched the World Series with Frank Sinatra
