When he walked out of the bullpen in Game 7, you could see fear in the eyes of the Yankees. He'd just put the screws to them the day before and he's back for more!?!?! One of the greatest WS of all time.
After he walks off the mound at 2:44 up 15-2 after 7 Brenly goes - "Could you throw an inning tomorrow?" Yeah, yeah, definitely. If you need me to pitch, I'll be ready - trust me. One of the most inspiring instances of trust and faith between player/manager ever.
Brenly was a rookie manager that time! But 1 thing is for sure: just like Lou Pinella in the 1995 ALDS: if you want to win a serie, you need the Big Unit!
A lot of these were balls, but its Randy. Hes 6ft10 with the best breaking slider in history. He may as well have been pitching from 1st! No wonder the umps were struggling
Question, why is it that the newer pitchers can’t can’t handle these type of workloads that seem to be commonplace around Randy and Nolan’s time. I also heard that in Japan they also throw way more than the average American today in their younger years leading up to pros
I think some of them can do it physically. But the modern baseball mindset with pitching (and batting) is to go all out 100% constantly. It's much easier for a pitcher to go all out when he knows he only has to throw 70 pitches as opposed to double that. @@Zandorf68
@@zacharyradford5552lincecum is a poor example only due to the fact how much strain he was putting on his hips and legs leaping to pitch the way he did. I don’t think anyone w a stance like that would last two long. I can’t even imagine someone like ichiro lasting as long as he did if he had to crow hop 2-4 times a game, let alone pitch a full game.
Remembering when watching him pitch. They knew they had little chance in winning. It had to be a fluke or error from the infield. That’s if they made contact. Dominated baseball back then.
Randy is the best pitcher of all time in my book. Theres been no other pitcher in major league history that terrified 95% of the leagues hitters. 98mph on pitch 140+ gtfoh... 😆 Wish he was on the Cubs.
Still unbelievable. The Yankees would've beaten every other team in the league in that World Series. But the D-Backs had Schilling and the Big Unit. (And Arizona still had to manage to score multiple runs on the most impossible pitcher to score on: Postseason Rivera.)
Honestly that rectangle helps a ton with those off-center camera angles. I do love those old Fox score boxes across the top of the screen. Could easily see the score and relevant information but didn’t block anything on screen.
@@811chelseafc it’s just juiced. that’s why he’s stronger than before and the reason he won cy young. deserve it?? don’t you know the meaning of juiced?? you drunk??
As a Mariners fan I’m happy for Randy Johnson, but Jesus Christ does it make me sick to my stomach that they traded him away… But he deserved to be somewhere with a front office that treated him with respect and that wanted to win.
then why are they swinging you moron? omg yt just gave me a warning about using the word moron god help us. Me hurting the feelings of a moron is such a bad thing hahaha
he is literally too tall for the mound lol it was designed for men that were literally a more than a foot shorter than johnson (babe ruth was like the largest man to play at the time and he has similar delivery style) he doesnt even take full steps when he delivers... you see some pitchers almost touch their knee to the dirt or like swing their leg around and hop after they pitch. johnson takes a little baby step and whips his entire body around that pivot point. results are devastating
To this day, I can't believe they let Randy in for SEVEN INNINGS when he had a 10-0 lead after 3.. and later a 15-0 lead. KNOWING THAT A TIRED CURT SCHILLING WAS UP THE NEXT DAY! Bottom line : if your bullpen can't hold on to a 10 (or 15) run lead.. YOU DON'T DESERVE THE TROPHY.
Randy Johnson was just too good.

The big Unit dominated every opponent
2001 WS is the most epic one I've watched.
Agreed

And they don't pitch more than 5 innings
This Man ended the yankees dynasty
they signed him but it was too late lol
EFF THE YANKEES 👏👏👏👏EFF THE YANKEES 👏👏👏👏
favorite player of all time
I remember these days!!!! it was awesome!!!
immense, enormous, legendary, unmatched, unrepeatable. His Majesty Randy Johnson
Back when starting pitching went 7+ on routine, they didn’t throw every ball that hit a speck of dust away, and when show boating was rare.
I miss old baseball too.
Everybody does...
Would have really loved to see Johnson and Schilling on the same staff for more years than they were.
Was really pleased for him that he got the ring.
Ads for Titus, The X Files, Ally Macbeal and The Tick. So amazingly 2001.
Unhittable in those days. Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez are the two greatest pitchers ever.
@DanielRodriguez-jp7nk No way
@DanielRodriguez-jp7nk Nolan Ryan had a bad ERA and lots of walks. Maddux was a control pitcher, he couldn’t even throw a 90s fastball.
@DanielRodriguez-jp7nk greg maddux is probably top 5 along with pedro and randy but nolan ryan is nowhere near those 2
@DanielRodriguez-jp7nk Clemens was a roid cheat.
Roger Clemens is the best
Randy never ceases to amaze me
Randy was a monster!
He was a beast
The Big Unit and Greg Maddux are my 2 favorite pitchers. Both amazing but in different ways.
Nolan Ryan too
Schilling was total clutch pitching. No team could beat those two pitchers playing on the same team. Playoffs $$$$$$$$ pitchers!
Wasn't he close to forty by this time? Absolute specimen.👍🇺🇲
Yup and won 2 Cy Youngs after this start too.
37
Randy was the ultimate late bloomer, didn't really become dominant until he was 29.
Nasty pitching dominate against the Yankees!
Randy in beast mode
A lot of these were balls, but its Randy. Hes 6ft10 with the best breaking slider in history. He may as well have been pitching from 1st! No wonder the umps were struggling
You can’t really see the strike zone from his angle because of how tall he is, but he threw a lot of solid strikes
@@mbryanfthe one to Bernie Williams was a clear ball.
When pitchers actually pitched the whole game.
Question, why is it that the newer pitchers can’t can’t handle these type of workloads that seem to be commonplace around Randy and Nolan’s time.

Because a lot of pitchers had short careers doing it Tim Lincecum is one of the most recent.

Getting some ridiculous calls off the plate in that first game, even for the era.
3:22 as the great Mariano Rivera meditates, he ponders over what will happen in the bottom of the 9th.
He looked nervous. He didn’t pitch a terrible 9th but he made a bad fielding blunder which changed the complexion of the inning.
@@ajbahusthat happened after Randy pitched the ninth
Having the big unit and Curt Schilling on the same pitching staff was unfair.
My favorite left-handed pitcher who was not a dodger. I was happy when he ended the yankees dynasty.
A MENACE
No.1 pitcher all of the world in Left hand ↔️ 👈
Remembering when watching him pitch. They knew they had little chance in winning. It had to be a fluke or error from the infield. That’s if they made contact. Dominated baseball back then.
His slider is just filthy
It's already a cheat code having the Big Unit on the mound, but with Curt Shilling it became more dangerous
That slider was unhittable
Damn..back when pitchers would pitch a whole ass game
Randy is the best pitcher of all time in my book. Theres been no other pitcher in major league history that terrified 95% of the leagues hitters. 98mph on pitch 140+ gtfoh... 😆 Wish he was on the Cubs.
Wide strike zone on some of these lmao
were so used to the square we forget
The pace was so much better with a wider strike zone. Batters actually swung at first pitches back then.
G.O.A.T
Still unbelievable. The Yankees would've beaten every other team in the league in that World Series. But the D-Backs had Schilling and the Big Unit.
(And Arizona still had to manage to score multiple runs on the most impossible pitcher to score on: Postseason Rivera.)
A real pitcher
some of these calls by the home plate umpire are TERRIBLE!!!!! LMAOOO
Imagine still complaining about strike calls 23 years later in a RUclips comment section
the good old days without the stupid square, if you watch the game just know the strike zone...
So salty for no reason
@mattw6964 lol 😂
It’s a rectangle
Honestly that rectangle helps a ton with those off-center camera angles. I do love those old Fox score boxes across the top of the screen. Could easily see the score and relevant information but didn’t block anything on screen.
The box that finally proved to viewers how horrible MLB umpires ARE/WERE at doing the easy part of their job??? That box?
Joe Buck really managed to make exciting baseball boring
It's almost a talent
@@alexsolimani it is a talent. I’m glad he’s gone
@@WillGrimm623 I think we all popped a bottle of champagne when he left for ESPN especially the Fox execs lmfao
Seriously!!!! And using the same terminology year after year after year! “We will see you…tomorrow night!”
I can’t believe Curt Schilling’s not in the hof….
1:39 Holy shit
0:29 How df is that a strike
Dbacks fan here…. Ya, agreed, definitely not a strike there.
It swept across the plate.
That’s baseball
You can’t argue with the ump
Besides strike or not Randy Johnson destroyed the Yankees. Either way he was an amazing pitcher.
b unit. one of the greatest players all time. he was stolen cy young by rocket in 2004.
Can we stop saying things like that. Clemens had a fantastic season, well deserving of a Cy Young, even if you think Johnson deserved it more.
@@811chelseafc it’s just juiced. that’s why he’s stronger than before and the reason he won cy young. deserve it?? don’t you know the meaning of juiced?? you drunk??
PLESE SAVE OUR 법규형
Johnson and Schilling greatest tandem since Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale!!!
How many titles the 90's Braves could have won if they could have signed the big unit out of high school. Smh.
Nah man the braves didn't need anymore pitching in the 90s. They had 3 hall of fame pitchers in that era and still couldn't get over the hump
As a Mariners fan I’m happy for Randy Johnson, but Jesus Christ does it make me sick to my stomach that they traded him away… But he deserved to be somewhere with a front office that treated him with respect and that wanted to win.
WOW! A lot of those were balls, not strikes.
Somethang u shouldn’t swing at hoss
saw that too, but baserball was a lil diff back then
then why are they swinging you moron? omg yt just gave me a warning about using the word moron god help us. Me hurting the feelings of a moron is such a bad thing hahaha
O desespero do Mariano Rivera já dizia tudo kkkkkkkk

Was a diehard jeter fan back then...was pissed Randy is unbelievable. Boy wonder lost😩😭
Dude was inhuman...
To this day, I can't believe they let Randy in for SEVEN INNINGS when he had a 10-0 lead after 3.. and later a 15-0 lead. KNOWING THAT A TIRED CURT SCHILLING WAS UP THE NEXT DAY! Bottom line : if your bullpen can't hold on to a 10 (or 15) run lead.. YOU DON'T DESERVE THE TROPHY.
Joe buck was still annoying back then
Always the ultimate dodger hater
Ump was awful
yeah terrible
yea so bad man can we tallk about it
bruh is blaming the ump and not the yankees for swinging at obvious balls... Randy had NY shook
My nickname is also 'big unit' 😊
