Can say the same thing about the 8th inning of game 2. The stats McCarver showed at the beginning about Scherzer being unable to go deep into games and the Tigers horrible bullpen proved to be among the most decisive factors in the series
@@TheLocalLt Yeah, when Big Papi went “Big Fly” off the supposed Tigers Closer Joaquin Benoit for that Game Tying Grand Slam? What a joke, Benoit couldn’t even close the door if he was freezing!
Denofstolen Basethieves it’s great but I wouldn’t say the greatest. Maybe the Greatest American Sport, but Soccer has baseball beat when it comes to world sports...
Gone are the days when Pitchers would throw 200 Pitches in a game and was looking to pitch again the next day. Max Scherzer was taken out after throwing 110 Pitches in this game. The Walk to "X Man"(Xander Bogearts) put Scherzer at 110 Pitches in the 7th Inning before being removed.
I felt the exact same way, also as a Red Sox Fan, but that Bogerts Walk had put Scherzer at 110 Pitches. The greatest decision Manager Jim Leland ever made was stepping down as Tigers Manager after the 2013 Season. Scherzer should have stayed for at least one more Batter before being taken out, he was the Tigers' Horse that year. Perhaps he could have gotten the free swinging Jacoby Ellsbury next for Out Number 2.
They didn’t. He walked on his own, they offered him a huge contract and he declined. I’m a Tigers fan, and I’d say it was probably the move that put Max into the Hall of Fame. What pitcher would pass on the chance to be in the NL for the next 7 years?
During the next at bat, right after the grand slam, do those two girls really have nothing better to do than be on their phones? They are literally front row to one of the most exciting sporting events during an insane moment, but wait a sec...gotta take a selfie and text my bffs how exciting this is.
Key word: Front row. This game was televised WORLDWIDE! Maybe they are letting friends and family know they are at the game,plus they can be seen by family and friends,have you thought of that?
Former Red Sox Shortstop Jose Iglesias bobbled the Jacoby Ellsbury ground ball, right after Max Scherzer was taken out fro Drew Smyly, to load the bases before Shane Victorino comes to bat. From what I understood, Iglesias also got A World Series Ring and A Full Winners Share of the money after the Red Sox won the World Series.
On the 3-2 pitch to Bogaerts in the 7th at 3:18:41, the pitch locator showed it to be a strike. The home plate umpire was a longtime Red Sox fan and never should have been in that crew. Total screw job by MLB, who wanted the Red Sox, not the Tigers in the WS for ratings reasons. Jumpy Jim Leyland then pulled Scherzer and that was the end for the Tigers. If Bogaerts were called out as he should have been, and the Tigers hold on, Justin Verlander comes back for Game 7 and the Tigers have a good chance at making the WS.
An automated ball-strike system might have called it a strike. In the world of human umpiring, the catcher had to move his glove a bit to catch it, which prevents framing the pitch. Although framing should not matter, glove movement should not matter, they do matter. But even if Bogaerts strikes out, that's only 2 outs. The Ellsbury grounder is still booted, Victorino hits a 3-run HR instead of a grand slam, the game ends 4-2 instead of 5-2. Pulling Scherzer, booting a ground ball, and failing to score in the final 2 innings are 100% on the Tigers. Under the most charitable analysis, you can't use a ball/strike call to ignore sloppy fielding and rationalize the Tigers bullpen completely out of the game. There may be an infinite number of parallel universes, but the Tigers don't win the 2013 ALCS in any of them.
I was there in the crowd that night. SOOOO much energy and excitement in Fenway it was unbelievable!! I'll never forget it.
Aah thought u were on the field playing..
@@stephenhebda4743shut up stupid dumb loser. City of champion lets GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!
Koji was so much fun to watch this season
Had Jim Leyland kept Max Scherzer to finish the 7th Inning, that Grand Slam would’ve never occurred!
Coming from a Red Sox Fan
Max asked to be taken out. he said he had nothing left.
@@gymstyle5091
Did he? I guess it only showed how deplorable of a Bullpen the Tigers had.
@@Jiltedin2007 I am pretty sure they even talked about it on the broadcast but yes, he told him he had nothing left.

Baseball is truly the greatest sport in the world!
yes
Denofstolen Basethieves it’s great but I wouldn’t say the greatest. Maybe the Greatest American Sport, but Soccer has baseball beat when it comes to world sports...
Denofstolen Basethieves in fact I’d say the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL can’t combined compare to Soccer around the World.....
Carbon Crucible it’s his opinion man lol
@@jackoverton2254 I don't know others but I never watch European football anywayXD
NEVER FORGET! All of this never could have been possible if Mike Napoli didn't carry these Red Sox on his back in Detroit.
1st boston game 1st play off game 1st time seeing a GS what a game
3:50:00-3:50:35, the Two Slams in this series!!!
Shane Victorino The Grand Slam Five Two
Policewoman Ten Points Firefighter No Points
Moment of the year!
when you realize both sherzer, Verlander and porcello all went and won world series with other teams within the next 7 years
Seamus Kearney Same with Anibal Sanchez
Seamus Kearney yup, they had a great team, just bad coaching...
Carbon Crucible no the coaching was fine it was the bullpen
Verlander in 2017 with Houston, Porcello in 2018 with Boston, and Scherzer in 2019 with Washington.
As a Dodger fan, this stat stings
3:27:15 a moment to remember.
Who else here because sports has been canceled?
I only came here to see Koji pitch. And the grand slam too haha
Koji was awesome in 2013.
Koji was the man
Lazy to not cut the commercial breaks
The magic happens at 3:27:18
Sammy/Tracy Maggio 3:27:18

They should have kept Mat in the game, I’m a Boston fan but the Tigers coach made a mistake by taking him out. Go SOX

How did the Tigers let Max Sharchzer walk? I don't understand it
They didn’t. He walked on his own, they offered him a huge contract and he declined. I’m a Tigers fan, and I’d say it was probably the move that put Max into the Hall of Fame. What pitcher would pass on the chance to be in the NL for the next 7 years?
Victorino got more contact with his body than with his bat. Both turned out to be deadly weapons.

@@EricLimasTPLEra77 Why would you wait until the bottom of the 7th inning to do that, literally 3 and a half hours after the game started
Probably answering calls and texts from their friends. Important stuff like, "Did you see that?" LOL

Red Sox fan here; that was a strike to Bogaerts 😂😂
Prince Fielder was a disaster in this series.
Scherzer is german soldier.

5 inning pitcher mediocre at best.
Thank God for the bullpen
He had his moments. Just too few and far between
Buchholz is always injured
Awesome cheaters with David orcheat
a salty yankee fan chimes in.
@@thepaulusmaximus no just saying the truth 🤷♂️and I’m not a yankee fan
You mean A-Rod.

Man was postseason ball bad than lol. The slowest games ever. I see why people got bored. I’ve always loved baseball so I never did but I see it now!
