Aquila tigers really had a amazing rotation as well as great hitters but u could just feel it being the Sox season with the Boston marathon bombings but the tigers had an incredible team that they don’t have today
Preeeetty shocking how far back 2013 looks now, with Cabrera having a near back to back triple crown year and Scherzer not becoming a living legend yet.
9:35 - Look at Papi's face. It says "Go ahead and throw me that changeup, I'll be waiting for it..." Knew it was coming because Benoit had threw it earlier in the season and made Papi look bad. "First pitch, third pitch, fifth pitch, whatever. I knew it was coming and would be ready for it." Excerpt from his biography
Benoit was a weak closer. Leyland should have let Max pitch a complete game. That grand slam doesn't happen if he does. I know, shoulda woulda coulda but the Tigers needed a closer. They didn't have anyone and that's on Dombrowski period. That and the Boston Strong mojo is the reason they lost this Series.
Tigers fan here, this game is probably the most exciting and heartbreaking game/series (yes even more than getting swept in the World Series) ive ever watched. Up 5-0 about to be 2-0 going back to detroit with all the momentum, instead it becomes a dogfight every single game. Tigers bullpen had no business being in the postseason if I’m not mistaken the bullpen gave up more runs in the series than the starters combined
As a Sox fan yeah this was a great series. The Red Sox were not as talented as the Tigers, especially from a starting pitching perspective.. But The Red Sox had good gameplans. Every game, the goal was to work and grind out every at bat to get the pitch count up and get the Tigers phenomenal starters out of the game to get to the Detroit bullpen. It's hard to look back at this team because it reminds me that ownership decided to pay David Price $200 million dollars instead of re-sign Jon Lester.
@@waynetables6414which ultimately netted you guys another world Series. I don't see the issue lmao? Sox don't win that world series in 18 without Price.
@@JTmakesfunofdiabled-hs9kh Jon Lester was much cheaper and would have served the same role. He was a big-game pitcher with a lower ERA and more wins that year you are referring to. And Jon came up in the system and had 2 rings with Red Sox, he overcame Cancer with the Red Sox at a time my family was going through similar stuff.. it's not just about X's and O's. The Red Sox ownership treats human beings like dots on a graph. The current team (post firing Dombrowski) has no leaders, no continuity, and are being run on a shoestring budget while the owners focus on their other projects. They are the second most valuable team in baseball and they have like the 15th highest payroll. I haven't watched a single game this year, i'm not going to invest my time in a team that refuses to invest their money and charges the highest ticket prices in the league. The owners hired a scapegoat GM to be the fall-guy for their Boston Devil Rays operation they are currently running and ownership is completely resting on their laurels
Being from Boston, I love the sox. I've never missed a season game in the over 30 years And Max scherzer pitched one of the best games I've seen not just against the Sox but of all time his stuff was electric that night But we had david Ortiz, and he saved us again and again What a great series
@Jimmy-jp9wm he's right though, if you're laughing then you didn't watch the series or realize how great that Tigers rotation was, as a Sox fan I knew if we didn't win that game it was over heading back to Detroit down 0-2...
so us being retired 123 in the 7th is highlight worthy but not loading the bases in front of ortiz. clutch hit by pedroia with 2 outs to bring papi to the plate.
" And a win in the bottom of the ninth.By gosh!" I still ask my brother," how did the Sox beat that Tiger team?" The Tiger pitching rotation was one of the best of all time. The Sox willed themselves to win.
Bucholtz was that classic: “great stuff, couldn’t execute a game plan” type guy. The biggest problem with young pitchers today: all throw hard and lack the true feel for big games and the rhythm it requires.
Main reason for that is the way teams scout imo. You're more likely to get noticed if you light up a radar gun rather than showing off great command or otherwise. When controlled, velo is king, and that's what teams go for
@@bubblerman preaching to the choir Brian. It blows my mind every year when MLB teams take high school pitchers in the top 3 round every year. Most of them never throwing in a big game or even a series in their life. You have big time college pitchers who understand the grind and have thrown in high leverage moments going later in the draft over kids who still live with their parents🤣
You can't win without a bullpen. With their lineup and rotation the if the tigers sorted out their shit bullpen they would have won at least 3 titles last decade.
Why didn’t the highlight have how the bases got loaded for the BoSox in that bottom 8th?! That was definitely needed to be shown in this highlight to even give Ortiz the chance at that grand slam.
(0 0), (1 0), (0 0), (0 0), (0 0), (4 1), (0 0), (0 4), (0 1)!!!! I think seeing the Tigers go up by 5 that quick woke the Red Sox up. Plus it also show how great the Sox bullpens compared to the Tigers were. Plus it also shows that having a great starter isn't good enough if your bullpen can't keep it up.
Back in the day Max would have finished the game & the Tigers would have been 2 up going to Detroit. The "Glory" of the starting pitcher going all the way has been lost.
Jerry Shunk Not necessarily. If the pitcher is on his A game and it’s late in the season and the team is fighting for a playoff spot most managers will leave their starters in the game longer.
@@redsox1935 Back in the day, however, the starting pitchers were generally left in the game unless they "Needed," relief! The managers didn't use a starter for a planned 6 innings & then automatically bring in relief to finish the game. That strategy started around the 70's.
This game was so frustrating to watch. It looked like the Sox would be down 0-2 going to Detroit. They couldn't hit a lick off Tigers pitching and then....... 9:48 :) :) :)
boy prince fielder fucked the 9th up... first letting the ball pass him to get Gomes to 2nd and missing that foul fly when u got the biggest glove on the field smh
Ganar ese juego le representó ganar el campeonato ya que si perdian,irian 0-2 a detroit.. Ese fue el juego mas importante de ese equipo.. lo levantó como "lazaro".. no ganaban ese serie si perdian ese juego
why does Jim Leyland always look so fucking pissed lol and I'm a tiger fan so I see him a lot, or did see him a lot because he retired but you get the point damnit
One of the most heartbreaking, if not the most heartbreaking Tiger loss in their history. The Boston strong marathon bombing mojo won this series. All of America, except for Detroit fans, were pulling for the Red Sox. I sure wish Leyland left Scherzer in the game. No fan interference on that Fielder foul ball play in the 9th? The Umpires didn't even talk about it? That's a game changer right there. Unbelievable. They umps were probably all Red Sox fans. Haha! Just kidding. I'm a little tired of the Red Sox fans and the east coast media bias in general. Red Sox got more attention for losing the 1967 Series than the Tigers did for winning the 68 Series. Ortiz hit more homers against the Tigers than any other team. Why? Dombrowski never got them a decent closer period. Funny how Dombrowski goes to the Red Sox and gets a closer by the name of Greg Kimbrall. If he did that for the Tigers they would have won a couple of World Series, if not more. The Tigers will be back one day and it'll be sweet. Hopefully they'll get to play another ALCS in Boston and get some silence Red Sox Nation. You win you win, you lose you lose. Red Sox deserved the Series win. We'll always have 35, 45, 68, and 84 Tiger fans!! R.I.P. Mr. Kaline.
You're not alone in being tired of the nonstop media adulation of the Red Sox. Tigers seemed to be snake bit in big series in recent years. Would love to see them win the series again one of these years.
Dombrowski was like a hired assassin the way Red Sox ownership used him. The reason they were able to add Craig Kimbrel was that they traded 4 highly touted prospects to get him. Dombrowski did the same thing to acquire Chris Sale, he traded Yoan Moncada and Michael Kopech. The Red Sox had the best farm system in MLB when Dombrowski was hired and they had one of the worst farm systems in baseball when he was fired. Ultimately, as a Sox fan I feel bad for the way it played out because Dombrowski did exactly what he was hired to do. He won a World Series, raided the farm system, spent a ton of money, and made some great trades. He acquired Nathan Eovaldi for basically nothing and Nate has has been arguably the most important player on the Red Sox for years. My guess would be that Dombrowski was well aware the bullpen was awful in 2013 but he just didn't have the resources to do anything about it. Most teams don't allot a ton of resources to acquire a closer because the best ones cost a lot, and most closers have a short shelf life. Most teams find a closer from within their system. Also, baseball was a much different sport even just 10 years ago. Starting pitchers actually pitched past the 5th inning back then and you didn't have all these teams with loaded bullpens and pitching changes every two batters.
probably one of the best alcs series ever
myhat85 except for the Sox - Yankees Alcs in 2004 :p
That great Tigers starting pitching got wasted by their bullpen. Same old story.
Jim Kennedy as a Detroit fan, this series hurt worse than the 2012 World Series. This was their year. But like u said, it was wasted by the bullpen.
Aquila tigers really had a amazing rotation as well as great hitters but u could just feel it being the Sox season with the Boston marathon bombings but the tigers had an incredible team that they don’t have today
Preeeetty shocking how far back 2013 looks now, with Cabrera having a near back to back triple crown year and Scherzer not becoming a living legend yet.
One of the great playoff moments of all time, Papi's grand slam.
how you gna skip right to the grand slam without showing how the bases got loaded? Was a great video up until then.
Totally agreed !!
agreed
agree
Agreed totally.
Excatly right!!!??? C'mon they fucked up not showing it thumbs down cuz of that
Those 2011-12-13 Tigers just couldnt get over the hump
Best baseball game I've ever seen. Well, this and the whole 2004 ALCS.
That tiger team was so much fun to watch
9:35 - Look at Papi's face. It says "Go ahead and throw me that changeup, I'll be waiting for it..." Knew it was coming because Benoit had threw it earlier in the season and made Papi look bad. "First pitch, third pitch, fifth pitch, whatever. I knew it was coming and would be ready for it." Excerpt from his biography
It was a fastball tho
@@zachluckenbach4787 The pitch was clocked at 86, that seems too slow for a fastball
Benoit was a weak closer. Leyland should have let Max pitch a complete game. That grand slam doesn't happen if he does. I know, shoulda woulda coulda but the Tigers needed a closer. They didn't have anyone and that's on Dombrowski period. That and the Boston Strong mojo is the reason they lost this Series.
@@zachluckenbach4787 it was not a fastball. It moves armside and down, and is at 86mph (classic change up). Idk what you’re on about
@@zachluckenbach4787 also look at other Benoit highlights, his fastballs in the mid 90s
They couldn't buy a hit against that rotation. Ortiz's grand slam single-handedly changed the series
Tigers fan here, this game is probably the most exciting and heartbreaking game/series (yes even more than getting swept in the World Series) ive ever watched. Up 5-0 about to be 2-0 going back to detroit with all the momentum, instead it becomes a dogfight every single game.

his stuff was electric that night
But we had david Ortiz, and he saved us again and again
What a great series
Scherzer was a beast that year
1:59 :Good play by Pedroia
2:04 :Pedroia bobbles ball on throw to him from first baseman.
Insane play by Pedroia
I miss this team
Tigers win this game, they win the series and likely the World Series. One at-bat changed everything
🤣🤣
@Jimmy-jp9wm he's right though, if you're laughing then you didn't watch the series or realize how great that Tigers rotation was, as a Sox fan I knew if we didn't win that game it was over heading back to Detroit down 0-2...
Pedroia is an amazing fielder at second base! Take into account how small he is in stature too!
I was there, gives me chills everytime
Jake B same
Jake B I was at that game too I left just before the grand slam happened I thought for sure the Tigers were going to win.
Why skip right to the grand slam?
Ryan P ik
Because that was the highlight pretty easy to recognize
god bless papi we will miss him
Awesome highlights, well done. This is exactly what I wanted to see
I forgot that Scherzer had a no hitter through 6 and 15 strikeouts. The Sox needed a spark, thank god for Papi.
The Red Sox were being dominated and big papy was the difference
I had already gone to bed thinking they were gonna lose before ortiz's grand slam... Dammit! Lol
So did I. I was so upset that I turned off the TV and went out for a jog. When I got back home I saw the score was tied.
Really? I think it was a Saturday night!
so us being retired 123 in the 7th is highlight worthy but not loading the bases in front of ortiz. clutch hit by pedroia with 2 outs to bring papi to the plate.
5:38 "Avila hit a home run.. Give him a lollipop!" Lol
9:36, Papi's homer and policeman's arms!! Love it 🙌💪👏😎
9:47 Back at the wallllll....... TIE GAME!!!!!
Red Scorpion I’m so pissed. I was there at this game too had front row seats. I left at the 7th Inning thinking the game was over
" And a win in the bottom of the ninth.By gosh!" I still ask my brother," how did the Sox beat that Tiger team?" The Tiger pitching rotation was one of the best of all time. The Sox willed themselves to win.
I miss this version of Pedroia... Who by the way now is only one of two Red Sox with 3 Rings... Ortiz being the other...
Bucholtz was that classic: “great stuff, couldn’t execute a game plan” type guy. The biggest problem with young pitchers today: all throw hard and lack the true feel for big games and the rhythm it requires.
Bucholtz was either lights out or completely hittable. One of the most frustrating pitchers I have ever seen in a Sox uniform.
Main reason for that is the way teams scout imo. You're more likely to get noticed if you light up a radar gun rather than showing off great command or otherwise. When controlled, velo is king, and that's what teams go for

Make no mistake, if big papi doesn’t hit that grand slam then the Tigers win the series with ease and cruise to a WS win vs the cardinals.
The Grand Slam by Big Papi was the shot that woke the Red Sox up!
LMFAO he called Scherzer “mild mannered” 😂😂😂
The turning point of the series
I got goosebumps on the Grand slam
You can't win without a bullpen. With their lineup and rotation the if the tigers sorted out their shit bullpen they would have won at least 3 titles last decade.
That vaunted Tigers pitching staff was owning the Red Sox hitters for approximately 17 innings until Big Papi changed all that with one titanic swing
It was a clutch hit, for Papi. Red Sox Rock and Rule. It was a Sunday Night. Brady won it, for Patriots against Saints 30-27, for Sunday Afternoon.
Ik this is about the home rub but max sherzers pitching until the 6th was amazing
great vid bro! highlight should be like yours. really appreciate it.
keep up great work!
9:45-9:55 best moment...also huge pop for the sox.....(red sox fan)
5:55 lol that dude snatched that ball from that lady
Why didn’t the highlight have how the bases got loaded for the BoSox in that bottom 8th?! That was definitely needed to be shown in this highlight to even give Ortiz the chance at that grand slam.
we want the celtics get an NBA title as well !
excelente video !! great job
the sox put up a clinic after this game
6:20 wow I am sure glad handshakes have evolved a bit in the last few years...
9:35 he didn't even show the part where the bases got loaded in bottom of 8th inning
(0 0), (1 0), (0 0), (0 0), (0 0), (4 1), (0 0), (0 4), (0 1)!!!! I think seeing the Tigers go up by 5 that quick woke the Red Sox up.

11:08 Tim McCarver: YEAH!
David ortiz cuanta sastifaccion y felizidad mediste como fanatico de boston te admiro y te respecto desde dominican republic
I’m a Red Sox fan and I have to admit if the Sox would have lost this game and gone down 0-2 in the series I don’t think they would’ve won the series.
If leyland never took max out then the tigers win this series and the World Series. Shame
This game was so frustrating to watch. It looked like the Sox would be down 0-2 going to Detroit. They couldn't hit a lick off Tigers pitching and then....... 9:48 :) :) :)
Pitching to Ortiz inexcusable…. Walk him if you have to, 5-2 and make the next guy beat you. Fireable imo
Greatest team this century!!!!
F---‘ Awesome!! Sox rule!!!!
boy prince fielder fucked the 9th up... first letting the ball pass him to get Gomes to 2nd and missing that foul fly when u got the biggest glove on the field smh
Mario M well it's hard to catch a ball when hands are right next to your glove
9:52 David Ortiz game tying grand slam
David Ortiz saved the Red Sox in bottom of the 8th inning
nice
#1- Ted, #2- Ortiz
9:53 😯😱😱
Ganar ese juego le representó ganar el campeonato ya que si perdian,irian 0-2 a detroit.. Ese fue el juego mas importante de ese equipo.. lo levantó como "lazaro".. no ganaban ese serie si perdian ese juego
9:49 - 10:02 David Ortiz grand slam
Ironic that porcello pitched the 9th for Detroit
Why would jim take max scherzer out ? He was fucking killing the sox. A no hitter through 6 and 15 fucking strikeouts.
I’ll never forgive leyland for taking max out of the game.
9:52 xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I was at this game
Should of let Scherzer go one more inning.
no interference, fielder missed it 17 days till opening day , love baseball
3:94 two strikeouts in a row
Red sox wins
Thank god clay buckolthz is now with Philadelphia, he was lousy with the red sox
The Tigers had far more talent than that Red Sox team. By far the most overachieving of the Red Sox 4 World Series winning teams.
Our bullpen was fucking terrible
9:45
