Thanks @espn
This series is the 90's Braves in a nutshell. Good but too many mistakes in key moments.
There bullpen was always bad. And they there always missing on or 2 players after 96.
Tons of men LOB.
They gave the Padres a hard time during the regular season that year.
@@Surfer041’21 and the regular seasons after were awesome, but about sums up the last two postseasons and the current regular season too lmao. 12 LOB yesterday in a 4-1 loss smh.
RIP Tony Gwynn, Ken Caminiti, Odalis Perez, Stuart Scott. 😔
And Gerald Williams.
I know Ken Caminiti was dead but the rest, I didn’t know. 😢
I’m not a Braves fan so
And Jerry Coleman, Padres announcer
And Kevin Towers...
@@davidmerz66 Oh man, you’re right. 😢
Who’s here after Morgan Wallen’s song 98’ Braves?
Me me me
Same
Meeee
Love watching the braves lose
Me
For what it's worth, SD won 98 games that year. This isn't like when the Indians had only 86 wins the previous year when they made the World Series. They took their foot off the gas after clinching the NL West on September 12 (went 4-9 the rest of the reg. season). They could have been a 100-win team ala HOU/ATL.
The 1998 San Diego Padres are a criminally underrated pennant winner.
Yeah thanks to steroid takers - Leyritz, Vaughan, and Caminiti. I think even Brown and Hitchcock were linked to PED's down the road.
Brown for sure
@@nostalgiaman6816 they were all doing it around this time I think so it was all equal
@@tbewin1z143 who on the Braves? Maybe Klesko… MAYBE
@@nostalgiaman6816 I'm sure many more. They didn't catch everyone.
Back when ESPN was good
Morgan brought me here
Morgan Wallen's 98 Braves song brought me here.
It’s crazy that this is a song now
This remained the last playoff series win for the Padres until 2020.
2020 has asterik marks all over it, I feel 2022 is more formidable.
Wish we got this again, I hope Philly doesn’t kill us because this is my first deep playoff run in sports and it’s my own home team, I turned 18 this year and it would be a dream if we could win it all for the city
@@jeremypr Braves headed back to the World Series in 2023. The Dodgers and the rest of the chumps: Mets, Phillies, Cardinals, and the Padres go on early vacation.
@@ronaldsealeOops
Braves came so close to joining an exclusive club of a team that won 100+ games in a season and to also get swept in a postseason series, but they avoided getting swept.
But the Braves in 1999 will join that exclusive club, as they will win 100+ games in 1999 and then got swept in the 1999 WOrld Series
“you win some you lose some, it aint always home runs”
And that’s just the way life plays 😢
But as fate would have it that Atlanta magic got it out by them damn padres
The first thing that sticks out is how juiced these guys were compare to todays athletes of 2022.
Not all of them were juiced man
I really love that Kevin Brown batted in the 9th inning, got on base, and scored the cushion run. (I do not use the term Insurance Run for religious purposes)
RIP Stuart Scott
I was 5 years old at Game 3 and always remember that collision at home plate and had been looking for it, so amazing to finally see it. Thank you so much for posting this.
90s Braves underachieved
That’s an understatement
And 2022 Braves
That was not only Maddux first career save, but it was also his only career save I believe.
Ruben Rivera = the player the Padres did not want to give up in the July trading deadline in 1998 to get Randy Johnson from the Mariners
I remember watching them live at the Q for this 1998 NL title. The Q was alive sounded like thunder when you went to use the bathroom & heard the crowd. It was electrifying!
I moved to San Diego California in 1992. Never really was a big baseball fan. I played Little League baseball and as a kid I was a Cincinnati Reds fan… Don't know why. I was a kid. It wasn't till 1996 that I started getting hooked on baseball. Prior to that the Padres were terrible. You could go to a game and there will be only 5000 people in the stadium. But it wasn't until they beat the Dodgers and went to the playoffs that I got hooked. Baseball is my favorite sport now. In 1998. I was at the game four against Atlanta.
I really thought Atl was gonna make the 3-0 comeback, specially after dramatic wins in games 4 and 5 in SD and heading back home for 6 and possible 7, with Glavine going in 6 and Maddux in 7, and Kevin Brown being overused. BUT, the curse of Turner Field.
Atlanta, really???? No runs in game 6? All that noise in games 4 and 5, just to look pathetic in game 6? Really? Getting shut out TWICE in this series? ANd both at home???!!!
I’m sure you were depressed seeing the Yankees beating the Braves up in 1996 and 1999.
It would've been nice if the Braves won the NL pennet just to validate that season
So the Padres in this 1998 postseason have now eliminated the 100+ wins Astros in the Division Series, and have eliminated the 100+ wins Braves in the NLCS. And now they face the 114 wins Yankees in the World Series.
Lets see if Padres can make it three in a row.
Crazy how they didn’t even win a game
8:07 DRAMA!!!!!!! And on the very first pitch, like "heres the baseball, Leyritz. Check it out for yourself"
I really loved The Murph. They tore it down a month ago, but watching it full for a Padres game is inspiring and soul stirring. We never needed all these new stadiums. The buckling of municipalities to sociopath demands is disgraceful. The last really good World Series may have been 2003, because 64,000 Floridians showed up when the Marlins made their run to their 2nd Championship. There have been other good matches, but nothing beats an overflowingly packed house making great noise.
They build and renovate baseball stadiums to entertain fans with anything other than baseball. Party decks and kid zones weren't needed in decades past now it is a shame that they are a must.
@@erikhernandez9118 My guess is you have been to the Murph
The problem with baseball teams playing in football stadiums is that people rarely go to see them play, because usually the location is in the middle of nowhere. Football can survive like that since they play once a week for 8-10 home games a year once a week, usually on Sundays. But not baseball with 80-90 home games per season on those Monday to Friday games at night when people have to get up early the next day.
So while those stadiums do get loud and awesome when they are packed in postseason play, during the regular season when owners have to make money, they are mostly empty.
@@hmhm856 "Won't anything think of the billionaires?" Barf.
@@agoo7581 its a business at the end of the day. If money is not being made and no gorgeous stadium to look at, then the owner will move the team to another state.
Putting in Brown for relief work was really stupid. They treated game 5 like it was game 7 and were very lucky it didn't backfire in the final series result.
Hoffman had the nastiest change up ive ever seen on a right handed pitcher, even more than Pedro
Hmmm not sure pedro would throw it in the 70s.
This series and the 96 World Series are probably the chokes that Bobby Cox's Braves are remembered for most. Hard to think the Braves weren't the more talented roster coming into the series and would have given the Yankees a much tougher series
97 Marlins NLCS?
@@chrisuncleahmad The Marlins at least won the whole thing, so I tend to give them more of a pass for that one
@@marcusmcgraw3519 padres actually had a better record than the Marlins (98 wins vs 92)
@@chrisuncleahmad True, we also cant account for what might have happened if the Marlins had faced the Yankees either the year before or the year after instead
96, 97, 02, 03 (Atl chokes). I never considered 98 a choke, since SD won 98 games and could have won more had they not clinched division with two weeks left
Still remember watching this in spare bedroom as a kid
This is the only playoff series in Padres franchise history to go longer than 5 games.
They got close but close doesn’t cut it. Had a good run but ended up with nothing.
This would end up being the last great moment in the history of San Diego pro sports.
Unless you want to count them recently giving $340 million to a guy that hasnt played the equivalent of a full season yet
I think in spite of the playoff failures against the Jets and Patriots, LaDainian Tomlinson counts, especially during his MVP season when the Chargers went 14-2. Plus, that loss to the Patsies was against Tom Brady, the unscrupulous cheater, so it don't count
@@AJHyotonYou think the Patriots cheated? Lmao.
Dennis Martinez (Atlanta) and Rafael Belliard (Atlanta) have both retired.
Every player in this video is retired now. Or dead. It’s been 25 years.
The Braves were better but just had too many errors and the bench wasn’t that good. The 1995 Braves were the complete package.
I remember pumping my fist after the final out.....YES!!!!
Listened to this game in the Middle East on the USS Kitty Hawk. Friar fateful for life.
Jerry Coleman 🔥
It is so weird to be hearing names like Wally Joyner, Walt Weiss, Andres Galarraga, and Kevin Brown involved in this series. Respectively, that is an Angel, Athletic, Expo and Marlin, all involved in this series, a real good one spoiled by the Spankees and their roster of treasonous sorts.
"I said it before these playoff started. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best." More prophetic words never spoken by Tony Gwynn. Coming off the upset win over the Astros, Gwynn and the Padres now have to deal with the 106-win Braves and the dominiant pitching on their part. The Braves are looking for their fifth pennant of the decade whie the Friars aim for their first since 1984. And for the Padres, more incentive to do so. There's a ballot measure in November--Measure C--where if the voters pass it, the funding will be granted for construction of a brand new ballpark in downtown San Diego.
The Padres aim to vote YES on Proposition 1--as in win Game 1 at Turner Field in Atlanta. The Padres led, 2-1, going into the 9th. But Trevor Hoffman failed to hold the lead. So it was tied at 2 in the 10th. With two outs, former NL MVP Ken Caminiti took Kerry Ligtenberg deep for a 3-2 Padres' lead, which would be preserved by Donne Wall in the bottom half.
Having stolen one on the road, Kevin Brown took matters into his own hands, arms, and bat. His 5th inning single off Tom Glavine scored the Padres' first run, and the only run Brown would need, as the Braves' offense suffered a BROWN-out by Kevin, allowing only three hits and striking out 11 in a 3-0 CG shutout. San Diego was now heading home up 2 games to none.
The scene shifted to Qualcomm Stadium for Game 3, where Greg Maddux took the hill for the Braves' opposite Sterling Hitchcock. Atlanta took a 1-0 lead, but LF John Vanderwall--in the lineup in place of the injured Greg Vaughn--threw a perfect strike to the plate to nail Walt Weiss in the third. Catcher Jim Leyritz was on a collision course with Weiss but held onto the ball. Buoyed by the defensive gem, the Padres scratched home four runs to win, 4-1, and shockingly take a three games to none lead on the favored Braves. It looks like the Padres' may get the new ballpark after all, especially since they only need one more win to knock off the 2nd 100-win team in as many rounds.
Eyeing a sweep in Game 4, the fans got giddy. Jim Leyritz--again--went yard in the 6th to put the Padres ahead 3-2. Nine more outs, and the pennant is theirs. But the Braves' bats woke up. Javy Lopez tied the game with a home run in the 7th, then after the Braves scored a run to take the lead, the Big Cat belted a grand salami to win. 8-3. Then, in Game 5, the Padres led 4-2 going into the 8th. Bochy went for the kill, and brought in Kevin Brown in relief to seal the deal. But with one out, the Braves had two on for the #8 hitter, Michael Tucker. Tucker turned off the decibel levels 110% with a stunning three-run blast. Atlanta add two more runs, and held on to win the game, 7-6, with Maddux recording his first career save. The Braves also became the first team in playoff history to trail a series 3 games to none and force a Game 6.
Now, the Padres' fans had to be nervous. The series was going back to Atlanta, and the Braves had Glavine on the mound while Hitchcock started for the Padres. But Hitchcock had the Braves' hitters going psycho with five shutout innings. Glavine matched him until the 6th, when the Friars scored five times. The key play came when two runs scored on a dropped fly ball. Three Padres' relievers picked up where Hitchcock--the NLCS MVP--left off and preserved the 5-0 win. With that, the Padres were in the World Series for the first time in 14 years. OH, DOCTOR!! After all, San Diego became just the second team ever to beat two 100-win clubs in the same postseason (the 1988 Dodgers being the other). "Not many people gave us a chance against Houston. Not many people gave us a chance against Atlanta. But here we are," says Gwynn during the pennant celebration. A major accomplishment, but if they are to win their first World Series title ever, they'll have to beat another 100-win team, and it'll be the ultimate one of all--the Yankees.
SD won 98 games that year. This isn't like when the Indians had only 86 wins the previous year when they made the World Series. They took their foot off the gas after clinching the NL West on September 12 (went 4-9 the rest of the reg. season). They could have easily been a 100-win team themselves.
The 1998 San Diego Padres are a criminally underrated pennant winner.
i still remember the moment Finley caught the Michael Tucker fly ball i screamed and cried i finally got to see the Pads go to the World Series, only shame was my family moved to Australia and i couldnt go to any of the games
Chipper Jones didnt show up in this series
CG SO Game 2 Brown baby!!
Too bad Andrés Galarraga didn't hit well in the series 2-21
The dodgers are just the 90s Braves
Yo the braves beat themselves
Awful call at 0:18
go brvaves they’ve ere the best team ever
I still cant believe Hitchkok won the NLCS MVP in this series. He barely pitched any innings in both games he started. I would have given it to Hoffman
Hitchcock was a good choice. He shutdown the Braves in both games he pitched, and he came up huge in the crucial Game 6 to put the Padres in the World Series.
Hoffman had as many blown saves as he had saves (1 each) - plus he couldn't even finish Game 1 and almost blew it a second time before having to get bailed out. And his only save was in a 3-run game. Was a tough call for MVP but I think Hitchcock was the right choice. Hoffman didn't contribute much.
I forgot how much I hated the Padres
Love watching the braves lose 😅
one of the most joyous sequence of games in my life. until we got robbed in game 1 of the World Series by the worst non strike call in the history of baseball, turning the whole momentum of that series.
at any rate.. GO PADRES.
