Okay I noticed a mistake, at 15:46 it says 2014 but it was actually 2015.
Don’t worry it was a 45 min vid one mistake is fine
I hope u at least liked the video though
That mistake actually ruined the video for me! Jk we all make mistakes
WOWWWW
Came to say the same
To think that only nine years ago, the Royals and A's played a series against each other that mattered. Feels positively unreal.
That's baseball for ya
Yeah no kidding, the A’s haven’t made it to the post season since 2013 and 2014.
Lol they made it in 18 19 and 20.
@@imoorzy They made quite a few not long ago, they were a decent team up until fairly recently. They even won the division in 2020 😂
@@imoorzyyou couldn’t be more wrong. it takes 3 seconds to google A’s playoff appearances. Lazy mf
13:56 they really left Kershaw in the game with the bases loaded and 109 pitches 😂😂😂😂
I know Kershaw gets a lot of shit (not all of which is undeserved) but my god how many times can you see a guy hit the wall at 100 pitches and continue to refuse to pull him?
@@staidenofanarchy He probably should have been pulled after Molina's hit to load the bases but Adams was up next. I know he's your ace, MVP, etc, but his stuff was showing you he didn't have it.
Horrific managing, no doubt. At least 3 batters too many. Thats absurd.
Maybe it was a little bit of a different era there of managing pitchers. But yeah, let's bring in the bullpen.
He was carrying our teams then. poor guy got a legacy of being bad becaaue of horrible managing and shitty Bullpens
2014 and 2015 Royals playoff runs were absolutely wild
truly magical
As a royals fan I miss those days
If Astros didn't choke in 2015, man that would have been the best win ever. a team that had RASMUS, Luis Valbuena, CHRIS CARTER
@@bobbyhill4189 Would have just been another asterisk win for the cheating astros
Thank God for those years. Jeez, we would going on like nearly 40 years of futility otherwise. But those 2 years were quite magical, and almost got there in 2013. The 2014 season was wild even though we didn't win it all. And 2015 was such a comeback year for us and quite a magical season. Hopefully we can get back there again before the next 20 years or something lol. It's been so bad this year.
How interesting the Mariners went from the biggest comeback to the biggest chokers in a span of one game.
as a mariners fan that crying Astros fan still pisses me off haha
I still want to stab myself at the thought of that game
@@dallinlaw1605It's okay. The Astros got it out of their system last year. Verlander is gone. Their talent pool this year has been up and down on production. Their World Series Hangover has lasted 70 games so far.
We'll see how it goes for them. They hit their peak last year and are due for regression.
The Mariners have younger talent than they do and a blow up and rebuild is inevitable for the Astros in the future. Astros fans can say that's impossible but it really isn't. All dynasties have an end at some point. You'll be back to sucking at some point.
@@SpyroGamer2008as an angels fan don’t the Astros still have Alvarez Tucker and Peña all pretty young, same for Valdez and Javier. Still see them as playoff contenders for a long time although not the title contenders they used to be
@@SpyroGamer2008 we have been skidding due to yordan being hurt and our offense (which is notoriously inconsistent and bad) not performing. Dusty is also a huge part of it, making terrible decision like maldy playing so much when our pitchers aren't very good with him and he sucks at hitting.
That Detroit stretch from 2006-2015 hurt so bad. They built teams that looked so great on paper, and had amazing talent, but never got the ring.
The 2013 team was the best. That’s the year they should of won.
@@alwillked Sox almost got no hit game 1, and we’re getting no hit game 2 through 6 I think. They also only won a game 1-0 that series. That is the best starting pitching staff ever assembled for a team. Papi doesn’t hit the grand slam, Detroit is up 2-0 heading home and I think win easily. Red Sox barely scraped out almost every game they won that series
Yeah, NO DOUBT. As a Tigers' fan and a Reds' fan, well...there have been SOME opportunities, for sure, in the past 20 years, and they've all crumbled apart. Maybe this is the Reds' year? Who knows.
@@waltercampbell9787 As a Sox fan, I think I aged about fifteen years during that series. I started it in college and ended it with a home loan and bad knees.
@@waltercampbell9787tigers have always sucked no different in 2013 😂
I appreciate this list starting at 2012 so I don't have to relive the Rangers world series debacle
yeah this video wouldn’t have gotten played if it started in 2011😂
for real
I'm glad it didn't start with 2004 😂
Steve Pearce, one of the most random World Series MVPs ever. Dude rarely ever even got regular playing time, and by 2018 he was near the end of his career. That's baseball.
I absolutely loved that guy during his short time in Toronto because he was very clutch. He hit 2 walk-off grand slam in the same week. I was happy to see him win a ring after he got traded.
Fun fact: Steve Pearce and Jackie Bradley Jr. are the only 2 college teammates (University of South Carolina) to win a CS and WS MVP in the same season.
2019 Dodgers NLDS Game 5 is a noteworthy choke over that time too.
as is their 2017 Game 5 loss in the World Series
@@tbewin1z143 they allways choke in the playoffs when they play a full season
@@tbewin1z1432017 game 5 was more of a choke on the Astros. They have 3 significant leads blown that game. They still won, but the dodgers never led.
@@jlight119 Dodgers blew a 4-0 and 7-4 lead late in the game (with their "ace") then let a pitcher with a dead arm give up a huge 7th inning...was totally a choke on them...Astros didn't choke, they won
@@tbewin1z143 I mean they did cheat so
Put 2022 & 2023 Braves on here.
No the d backs had a better run. The Braves chocked in 2022 and 2023..
I think it's funny how we can see these as chokes from one end but amazing comebacks from the other teams end
yeah, amazing how reality works
I agree! That is DEFINITELY taking away from the other team's great comeback
@@bradbailey4673I disagree. I don't think you can really have one without the other. The two just co-exist that way. One team's comeback is another team's choke job. I don't think one discredits the other necessarily. That's just the yin and yang of these types of games.
I'll never forget the Blue Jays one where Andrus fumbled the ball numerous times.
The Rangers didn't choke, Andrus choked
@vastsleep7152:
The Rangers DID choke, not just Andrus. That game where Andrus did the choking should not have happened. The Rangers choked away their stolen home field advantage after opening strong with two wins on the road. The Rangers had a golden opportunity to complete a perfect sweep at home only to choke their way to a reverse sweep.
In his defense, that 2nd one was a bad throw.
@@ThatFaceMelter94 Yep, I've seen people claim he made 3 errors in the inning which is just ridiculous. The 2nd play was 100% on Moreland. But still a brutal inning for him - particularly dropping the throw from Beltre was just painful to watch.
@@vastsleep7152what about Cruz fumbling the ball, and Odor misjudging the infield fly?
It's so much fun seeing the 2014-2015 Royals on here doing work. Unique teams that were built against the norm, but they worked!
Astros literally had RASMUS, Luis Valbuena, CHRIS CARTER
@@bobbyhill4189 stop meat riding
@@bobbyhill4189 Nobody cares lmfao
@@bobbyhill4189 No one cares about the asterick Astros...
@@BeakerSteve copium
As a Mets fan, the 2015 World Series really takes the cake.
Great compilation, but 2017 Game 5 NLDS Cubs vs Nats definitely should be on here. With two outs in the fifth inning, Nats gave up three hits (two w/two strikes), a passed ball/catcher throwing error, a catcher's interference, and hit by pitch to let Cubs score four and take the lead. All of that was with Scherzer on the mound in relief. Absolutely wild to watch in real time. To add insult, Bryce Harper struck out to end the game, series, and season for the Nats 🤣🤣🤣
One thing you forgot: in the 8th inning, the Nationals scored a run to pull the game to 9-8 in the favor of the Cubs, and they had the tying run at second and the go-ahead run at first, only for the guy on first to get picked off and end the inning, killing the rally
I’ll never understand why someone would throw a postseason game-used ball back onto the field, regardless if the opposing team hit it.
because people are idiots
It’s tough when the entire section is egging you on to do it.
@@A.B.421 I wouldn’t care, it’s not their ball.
Every time I end up getting a ball from an mlb game I end up losing it. I’d rather create the memory of throwing it back rather than just catching a ball
@@flame2419 How do you lose a game ball? 😭
Astros management "That Josh Fields really blew it in 2015. Do you think we can get the Dodgers to take him for Yordan Alvarez?"
The rest is history.
It's actually unreal how many of these games it came down to fielding.
Yup and andrus still till this day collapses in pressure situations. He’s phenomenal otherwise, but when the pressure gets turned up a little he loses his shit. That game was so hard to watch.
And walks
Do your job right and no one will say anything, but mess up once, (or in the case of Andrus) and everyone will hate you
@@ktat01good thing he’s on the White Sux now where there will be no high pressure postseason opportunities
Absolutely. The HR is for the show, the D is for the dough.
Fun fact, showing the 7th inning of the 2015 ALDS to a Rangers fan is legally a warcrime!
/s
Man 2011 then 2015 then 2016 people forget we were the best team in the AL idk about all of MLB and we got swept by the Blue jays so we lost our last 6 straight playoff games to those fuckers
W crime then tbh
“The 1-1 from Dyson…. BAUTISTA WITH A DRIVE DEEP LEFT FIELD NO DOUBT ABOUT IT”
@@FriddlesVlogs I’ll never forget the 2016 Rangers robbing us of a division title 🙃🙃🙃
KC stealing those bags vs OAK down 4 runs in 8th-9th was very risky, but I love it. Good stuff, cool video, thx for sharing
The A’s didn’t teach pickoff moves and the royals took perfect advantage of it. Still so furious about it to this day
Kc was built with speed, had like 5 guys in the lineup that could steal any given day, and then dyson to pinch run who was the fastest player in the league
Bullshit. That's John Lester. I could've stolen a bag on him. No wonder they ran. Why the fuck not. He won't throw over.
@@chemicalx324 True. As a Royals fan, I miss this kind of baseball where speed was more of a factor. Today it seems like it let's see who can hit the homeruns.
Very well edited to get a good idea of the flow of each game and thoughtful order on the list, thank you for posting! As a Twins fan, I can only celebrate that as pathetic as our franchise has been in not winning a playoff game (not series-any game) in 18 years that at least they did not make one list of futility!
That 2013 Red Sox game was one I will NEVER forget as a fan. Just when I thought the magic of that year was starting to fade, the man with the quote of the year after the marathon bombing had other plans…
That series vs the Tigers was crazy. If I remember correctly the Sox had 2 hits through the first 14 innings. Verlander took a no hitter into the 9th or 8th inning in game 1. Scherzer looked even better through the first 5 innings of game 2. It looked like our season was over. Going down 0-2 and moving to Detroit, we would have had to beat Anibal Sanchez in game 3 and then pray to god that we could get to both Verlander and Scherzer. Plus the Tigers offense led by arguably the greatest hitter of a generation in Miggy.
8th inning of Game 2 of the ALCS that year is easily my favorite Sox memory….Ortiz’s Grand Salami was right up there with his heroics in 2004. What a time that was!
Boston winning it all brought the whole city together
I was at game 1, was studying in my sophomore year. The entire year was crazy since the marathon. Got standing room tickets to game 1 and we got our first hit in the 9th. With a stolen base we almost tied it up. But it was a tough loss and it was so COLD for October. Then papi puts the fuckin city on his back and we don’t look back. Still get goosebumps every time I think about it.
Oh and I also got standing room tickets for Game 6 in the WS against STL. Yep got to see the Sox win the World Series at Fenway for the first time in almost 100 years to top it all off. It was unreal man
Great video! I liked the editing of it, especially that you added the context to all the runs being scored
The '14 & '15 Royals were such fun teams to watch. They loved playing ball together
Don’t make it gay
@@dead2me810 I've been a royals fan since I was a baby in the 80's if you don't see the beauty in baseball you're missing out on a lot
That AlCS with Papi and the Grand Slam is a game as a Sox fan, I'll never forget
Nothing is better then playoff baseball! Every year there something new. Gotta love it
As a Nats fans I’m glad I was able to see us get over the years of frustration in the postseason to finally break all that up in 2019 to finally win us a WS RING..that moment I would never forget
Bohm clapping after getting hit by 101 mph fastball will never not be awesome.
I wish there were still teams like those 2014-2015 Royals. Singles up the middle, stolen bases, sac bunts, timely hitting. Team was fun to watch because they’re weren’t flashy, they all did their job and did it well.
I agree. There is a time and place for the home run, mind you, but too much of that gets dull. I'm not a Cardinals fan but I remember the Herzog teams of the 1980s and they were a LOT of fun to watch precisely because of what you said. Good place hitting, fast runners, I can't help but think that a team like the 1985 Cards or the 2015 Royals would do very well in our longball era.
In the past 200 HR was considered very impressive, and intimidating (I think of teams like the 1982 Brewers or the 1977 White Sox as being real power teams). But today it seems like a team that hits 200 HR is low on the totem pole. I'm not sure I like that, but I guess I'm just old-fashioned. Lol
Cleveland Guardians are a small ball team so they are an example of one.
1:35 Daniel Descalso is one od my favorite players for some reason. He was never a star or anything, just a somewhat decent .240, 10 homerun hitter every year, playing around the infield and occasionally outfield as a utility player and frequent pinch hitter. Like I said, never a star, but productive enough that he got solid playing time, especially for the Dbacks (My team), and I got to watch him in 2017-18 when he was in AZ. As a Rockies players he had his highest career batting average at .264 (8 HR, hit 10 and 13 in AZ), so I always saw him as solid, plus he was a decent defender. Anyways, he just seemed like a really cool dude, and he was always pretty exciting and energetic on the field. In 2017 I got to see my second Dbacks game (I live in Tucson, roughly 1:30 from Chase Field in Phoenix), and it was the first win and Dbacks runs I saw after we lost 2-0 against the Rockies in 2014. He got the walkoff hit in that game, which was really door to me. He also kind of looks like one of my dad's best friends, and my best friend and I always brought him up for some reason even though he doesn't like sports at all (Same with Eric Sogard lmao), so I always had a special place for Descalso. Would love to meet him someday, he's a total stud and legend in my eyes :)
that game broke my heart as a nats fan. if i remember right, nats were the first teams to allow a baserunner without a hit in all 4 dif ways in 1 inning. walk, hbp, dropped 3rd strike and catchers interference. fkn catastrophe.
Great video. I like that the first clip of each game is the highest point for the choker, right before everything goes south.
The Jays choke broke me. Now seeing the team be the exact same this year, I have no faith that Rogers can bring a title to this city. Looking at the landscape in general its looking like a long time till we see another. Bottoms up.
That game was the saddest day of my life😢
The ownership has proven it's willing to spend by the fact that the Jays have the 7th highest payroll in baseball. The problem is the front office, specifically the GM, Ross Atkins.
@@NatTurnerswitBurnerzI also mean the Leafs and Raptors when I use the term “landscape”.
@@jtmrlz Mine too bro, mine too. Doesn't help that the team is complete dog shit now.
OMG, thank you for posting this video.
I was at the Phillies @ Cardinals game in 2022. As a Cardinals fan it was a sickening feeling. But it's ok, we've had plenty of gnarly comebacks against other teams.
This is why SpaceX will never get to Mars.
I was too. I remember not talking to my family the entire rest of the game after we gave up a bunch and I started just walking around Ford plaza. Hurt really bad.
It remember watching it live, I just could not believe they let Helsey in that long. I’m not a cardinals fans but I was saying they should’ve taken him out 3 batters ago
To me, the biggest choke job of an entire series was the Yankees blowing a 3 games to none series lead to the Red Sox. I have a friend who is a Yankees fan, after each loss I would phone him, come game 7, soon as he picked up the phone, he knew it was me, and yes, he was royally pissed.
You talking about 2004? Yes that was the greatest comeback in the history of Sports not even debatable
Those 14 & 15 Royals teams just never went down without a fight. Was so happy they came back in 15 to win after the game 7 loss in 14.
To this day it still puts a smile on this Cubs fan's face to watch how they dominated the Mets in the World Series. Mets had the series of their life in the NLCS and it seemed to take everything out of them for the next round.
@@buckeyeschmaveit was like they had the life sucked out of them
This vid brings back so many memories
To this day i will still never understand why they left Kershaw in after the 2nd straight base hit allowed in the 7th in 2014. Yes i get it, he was the triple crown, MVP and Cy Young, but the cards are getting good contact on him. It was like okay two runners on no outs, still 6-2 dodgers. Another base hit, bases loaded no outs (still in), two run single 6-4 dodgers (still in), three double 7-6 cards…now lets take him out with 109 pitches
Typical ChoKershaw.
Despite how Kershaw was starting to stumble. Their bullpen was so shaky, I think he felt like he had no choice but to stick with Kershaw. That 7th inning of Kershaw versus St. Louis is a killer for him.
Goes to show you just how lethal a leadoff walk can be. Small ball keeps the sentences going, and then homers are the punctuation!
Putting the alwc game right before the alds game is just absolutely diabolical
29:46
I love watching the pitcher throw his glove down In anger after Puig hits the homer. I find it so funny 😂
Puig’s World Series game 5 homerun vs the Red Sox will always give me the chills because of the picture where Kobe Bryant is in the background.. so frustrating the dodgers lost that game tho
big papis grand slam always gets me, and i’m not much of a baseball fan but jesus that play was so electric😮💨
If Mattingly would have just trimmed those sideburns, the Dodgers wouldn’t have lost
Love a good simpsons reference.
In baseball, if you have one strike left, you do have a chance. Thanks for the Royals highlights from 2014 and 2015. We need it these days...lol.
Knew the Royal’s A’s game would be here. currently getting comfy for the next 30 years before we win again lol. Great video.
Exactly. 1985 Marty McFly Back to the Future, George Brett, Frank White and Bret Sagerhagen. Fast forward 30 years: 2015, Salvy Perez, Moose Mostakas, Eric Hosmer, Lorenzo Cain and the others with a lock down bullpen. Hopefully we can get a good team by 2045 that competes :) lol .
Good video
Should definitely do another video on full series chokes!
The Tigers of the 2010s were absolutely STACKED on starting pitching and yet at the same time had ZERO bullpen.
0:05 cried my 11-year-old ass to sleep that night
no because I would too omg, secondhand pain watching that and I'm not even a Nats fan
@@homura2112 it was even worse because i was at the game before where Werth walked it off with a homer. went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in 30 hours.
Channel name is awesome lol
I knew this was coming up
6:10 this grand slam will forever be a legendary Red Sox moment
God damn that catcher defense was hard to watch in the Royals v A’s
Fun fact about that game:
The A’s had known about the Royals’ aggressive base running before the game and they started their backup catcher that game, who was better at throwing out base-stealers but worse at hitting, than their regular starting catcher. However, in the second inning, that backup catcher suffered a thumb injury when a runner from the Royals made the rather careless decision to run for home while a rundown was going on between 1st and 2nd base. The backup catcher from the A’s was removed due to an injury sustained on that play, while led to the original catcher being put in, which was a huge part in why the Royals could steal all those bases
@@BiggestPLANTS Wow, that is really interesting. I did not remember that at all and I even watched that live. I had to look up Geovany Soto even played for the A's haha. That is interesting now knowing how critical that thumb injury was.
How can you forget that wild 7th inning and didn't end until almost a hour later. Texas retaking the lead only to see Toronto win
As much as I love seeing the GOAT Yordan at the #1 spot I feel that Texas choking the World Series away twice in Game 6 with 1 strike left to win it all has to be the #1 choke of all time.
So, I wasn’t making the video with the games ranked, I was just putting them in chronological order.
I’m an Orioles fan but I’ll never forget that big papi swing to tie the game
Mariners comeback is one of the most impressive I’ve ever seen. I remember watching it live.
If only that joy could have lasted longer before the snap back to reality courtesy of Yordan.
I knew as soon as they took Gausman out it was over, I actually called it because of the Blue Jays terrible bullpen. They were up 8-1, just let your guy finish the inning.
As a Cardinals fan, last years loss killed. We were focused on Albert’s 700 homers rather then winning. And now we sick this year. We need to get pitching and fire Marmol and Mozeliak
This
I love baseball. As long as there’s an out left you’re never out of it!
6:10 is a crazy moment for a Grand Slam 🔥
Big Papi
Loved it when the little kid told Prince Fielder "Sorry" because he was reaching for the ball!!😂
Being there G4 Cubs-Giants was special.
I was living in the bay at the time and after the crazy end to G3, my buddies, who are SF fans, convinced me to all get tickets and go to G4. That 9th inning, I was in stunned silence seeing my Cubbies come back. Amazing time
Side note: I’m from SoCal and everyone back home are Dodgers fans so beat SF then LA to get to the WS was something that can’t be beaten lol
I was listening to the game live, and I immediately knew it was a horrible decision for Bochy to yank Moore after the eighth inning. Moore was dominating the cubs on two-hit pitching. As it turns out, not having Moore start the ninth inning was the precise moment when the Giants' little every-other-year dynasty finally ended. And Bochy should have known better, because the Giants beat the Nationals two years earlier in a game when the Nats' manager stupidly yanked the starting pitcher with two outs in the ninth. Also there was the legacy of Dusty Baker costing the Giants a potential 2003 World Series victory with his "yank the starting pitcher" move in Game 6 of that series with the Angels.
Managers out there: in the playoffs, if your starting pitcher is dominating the other team, do not, repeat do NOT, remove him because of "pitch count" or because it happens to be the eighth or ninth inning.
@@richatlarge462and knowing that Lopez and Romo weren’t who they used to be, Giants relief was abysmal compared to years prior in 2016
i was there… 12 year old me could not sleep a minute after that 2012 nlds nats game 5 choke. was one of the most heart breaking sports memories i have ever witnessed especially after werth’s game 4 heroics.
The Seattle-Toronto one…
When all 3 Blue Jay players are running towards one another and they all fall over basically.
Talk about a one of a kind hit in that exact location to create That much chaos. Love it.
Pretty crazy that Astros did us a favor by beating the choking Mariners
As a Giants fan there's nothing better than watching the dodgers choke all those years in the playoffs
I am a Lifelong Giants Fan and I complete Agree!!!!!
Same, I hate the Dodgers.
Surprised you didn’t include the Indians 2016 World Series choke job or Yankees blowing an 8-3 lead in 2017 against Cleveland then Cleveland blowing that series
The Indians weren’t the better team in 2016. 2017, however…
@@KinkESizemoreno…but blowing a 3-1 series lead definitely seems worthy.
I actually considered the 2016 one but I was only doing single-game chokes, not full-series. I didn’t include the Yankees one because they ended up winning the series after that game.
These are individual game choke jobs. Cubs actually choked game 7 but won the game anyway, otherwise they’d be included
@@nintendolegonbafan5413 Okay I can understand that logic. I won't suggest that one then either. I was originally thinking 2020 Cardinals vs Padres Game 2 and 2019 Dodgers vs Nationals Game 5 in place of 2015 Royals vs Mets and 2022 Cardinals vs Phillies, but maybe those would be more good comebacks rather than chokes. Adding 2022 Dodgers vs Padres Game 4 as well as a shoutout, but I can be okay with this list. There was some sort of mistake with all these teams as well on the list.
The Brewers/Nats WC game where hte Nats' title run was almost over before it began before Grisham overran the ball is a big notable.
2016 Giants game 4 choke was so earned. The relief pitching was a complete shell of what it was in the years prior, it was amazing they almost brought it to game 5 and I wasn’t at all surprised that they blew it in the 9th.
Bruh I always get chills on Bautista’s homer. Just the crowd and then the ship horn. Plus the scenario has to be one of the best homers in baseball
Nationals 2014 vs Giants. Pitcher was unhittable, 2 outs in the ninth, leading 1-0, he walks a batter, the manager yanks him, and the Giants win in the 18th inning.
Drew Storen with a monumental choke throwing ball after ball after ball with two strikes.
At 6:12 I love the cop cheered and not even helping that guy who throw himself off the fence lol 😂
As a Mariners fan, really enjoyed watching this video right up until it ended at 42:10!
I was once a Mariners fan, but I gave up because of the drought. But then when they became contenders, I had hope. I just pray to God, that someday, the Mariners will make it to the World Series.

Literally the entire decade for the Rangers is a prolonged choke.
Great to see my home town team being shown here weve really done great... number 1 and 2
The Dodgers choke in game 4 of the 2022 NLDS against the Padres was the worst bullpen performance ever in playoff history.
There should be a full compilation just on the Dodgers coming from a Dodgers fan. 🤦♂️
I get a good laugh from the cop celebrating Big Papi’s grand slam v Detroit. 😂
That 2013 ALCS game 2 was something special man. The night before I was at Game 1 and the sox almost got no-hit (got their first hit in the bottom of the ninth). It was COLD in Boston for October and we thought this series would be trouble. This was the year of the Boston Marathon Bombing. David Ortiz literally put the entire city on his back that night. And I ended up getting tickets to Game 6 of the World Series where the Sox beat the Cardinals at Fenway. Some of the best days of my entire life were in that October 2013 postseason. Still have Fenway dirt folded up with my ticket from the WS.
As a HUGE Astros fan, I was about to say thanks for putting Astros comeback vs Mariners at number 1, but then I realized they this was in order of games throughout each year, it’s ok, 👍 cool video
I feel like of these, the 2 most gut-punch ones were the recent Blue Jays choke and the 2015 Rangers choke. Those were particularly cruel ways to lose.
2014 Oakland A's MLB Network at All-Star Break: *This is one of the favorites to win the World Series, I believe that.*
October 2014: *Doesn't even make it to the Division Series?* Bottom Line: Experts can be OVERRATED!
As a Brewers fan, I was surprised to not see the 2019 wild card game on here
Well done. H. Job
As a Royals fan, this is a 45 minutes not wasted
Geez that 7th inning for Kershaw was something. Just a slow burn there
Colby Rasmus 2014 playoff performance is one of the greatest in baseball history
Great fucking way to end the video. The joy i got from seeing alvarez hitting that walkoff homer was fucking amazing. One of the craziest baseball moments i have ever witnessed
2012 Nats was so crazy bc being in the dmv most thought they were going to finish the series that night going into it. So happy they choker
At 6:15 I can’t believe how the CF fell over the wall
Looking back at those Royals games just shows how much of a fluke they were. Bloop hits everywhere, and little league plays that cost runs and shouldn't have happened.
True. The same team could barely even win 80 games in 16 and 17
Better to be lucky and win than to be good and lose
LMFAOOOO ok. They also had arguably the greatest bullpen trio of all time, and barely struck out, something many teams struggle to do. They got rewarded for consistently putting the ball in play. Cry about it
It was the Back To the Future saga with the Royals.
I think game 5 of the 2011 NLDS between the Phillies and Cardinals deserves a mention. Not because the Phils had a lead but blew it but how, with Roy Halliday on the mound they couldn't even score a run. When you have a lineup of Shane Victorino, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Hunter Pence, Ryan Howard, and Raul Ibanez and you can't scratch out a couple of runs that is a choke if there ever was one.
Take note of the time frame. It does start in 2012, not 2011
@@nicholashalom1632 I know that but it was such a monumental choke job it deserves mention.
Don Mattingly was the greatest manager in Dodgers history
Sincerely,
A Giants fan
That Royals team was so sick
That 2016 NLDS comeback still gets me to this day... that's when I knew we had it in us to win it all
But do Dodgers fans like me approve?
I forgot just how good David Freese was in October. He saw the ball very well and was very patient.
Houston Kansas city was 2015, not 2014.
