It seems that the Astros made all the plays had all the momentum and demoralized them repeatedly by scoring runs with two outs while shutting down their big bangers.
Regardless if you have a team to root for or not, this is one of those “sports hype” moments that makes baseball the best 🔥 and the chest bump lining up with Thunderstruck?! Come on now, it’s perfect.
Look at my guy dusty baker with the fist pump. Love to see dusty baker get a ring man. This guy has been a great manager a long time he just hasn't had the cards fall his way.
Also crucial during this sequence was Kyle Tucker's hustling to field Verduggo's hit and holding him to a single, which set up the strikeout-caught stealing play. . .
Even thou the Astros were 2-0, I believe that was the turning point of the game. That gave the Astros momentum to keep hitting and it sucked the wind out of the BoSox.
This was the play of the ALCS. Every series has a defining hit or play. 2019 ALCS it was Altuve's homerun off Chapman. 2017 World Series all of game 5 was nuts.

@@barnabydodd8956 plus, spider tack doesn't necessarily make you throw faster, it puts more revolutions on the ball by keeping your fingers in contact with the surface of the baseball longer as you follow thru with your throws, thus giving you better breaking balls and more movement on pitches. 99 feet to second from home, spider tack isn't gonna help that much, this was purely talent.
And somewhere in Boston, someone is arguing that Maldonado cheated to throw the runner out at second. Same song, different verse. The real song is that Houston has a better team.

If Tucker didn't react so well and this hit became a double, then the strike 'em out throw 'em out double play would never have happened and the inning (and game) might've turned out quite differently.

Carlos recognized it and immediately gave him props in the outfield for the great play. Real baseball fans noticed it. The commentators had to check with their producers & see if they could talk nice about the Astros lol.
@@downtempo9263 I wasnt watching game live (darn not having FS1 on my cable, but at least all WS games are available on regular Fox channel) so didn't see Carlos, who has beyond doubt become the team leader on the field.

What they don’t talk about is how gravemen threw to first before that pitch. So the runner was already thinking about another pickoff. Smart move to keep them closer to the bag
Even as a Yankees fan, have to admit that this was a really cool moment. Fox nailed it with replays and music too
It seems that the Astros made all the plays had all the momentum and demoralized them repeatedly by scoring runs with two outs while shutting down their big bangers.

It’s not in the clip, but that pitch graveman threw 3-1 was the best pitch he’s made since coming to Houston. It was perfect. Set everything up.
Agreed, it set up the high strike out, which made it easier for Maldy to throw out Verdugo
