As a Yankee fan since 84, they barely survived this series. All the teams from 04-19 had below average starting pitching, as a result, they stopped winning championships.
So many things come to mind. This lineup was completely ridiculous. Gary Sheffield was an absolute psycho crusher who had so many big hits this year. Looking back I really cant help but wish the Twins just would have won this game. It might have spared so much unimaginable pain (even though MINN probably would have blown a 2-0 lead anyway). I also think the Yankees would have been able to rebound a lot better in the playoffs in 05,06,07 if they did not collapse v Boston. Hopefully 2022 brings us a title.
Crazy to think how close the twins were to going up 2-0 in the alds that year against the Yankees, also how close it came to going 5 games had it not been for ruben Sierra's homer in game 4. Really shows how mediocre the Yankees starting rotation was in 04. They really didn't crush the twins in 04 like they did in 03, despite winning in 4 games again. Great offense & a tremendous bullpen the Yankees had in 04. However it starts with your starting pitching. It shows how much trouble they were gonna be in going into the alcs.
Agreed. The departures of Clemens and Pettitte really came back to bite them badly. Sort of reminds me of when they didn't resign Damon and Matsui for 2010 and had them replaced by Nick Johnson and Randy Winn. Really came back to hurt them in the ALCS.

Fun fact: jeter obviously not well renowned for his power, is 4th all time in post season homers with 20. During his career in the regular season he hit 260 hrs in over 12,000 plate appearances. Averaging a homer every 48.5 pa. However in the playoffs, he would ramp those power numbers up a tad. Hitting a homer every 36.7 pa. While it may not seem like much, quick math tells me that means jeter was 25% more likely to hit a homer in any given playoff plate appearance than a regular season one. So while not known for having power, he could certainly flex when it came to October (or November)
@bigrich6075 it still shouldn't have happened. As I previously mentioned, the AlDS demonstrated how flawed the 04 team was. The rotation was very poor which caused the very good bullpen to be overused making it very poor come October.
Found it here. Only knew this because I made a highlight of the Twins postseason losing streak and only found this months after I made it. th-cam.com/video/-aqdlNZDCbM/w-d-xo.html It's one inning for some reason but better than nothing
Looking back at the 2004 roster this was one of the better Yankee teams of that era. That Boston ALCS meltdown was bound to happen eventually after years of Yankee domination. It was just a matter of time. Because of that famous loss to boston after leading the ALCS 3-0 most people wrongly write off the 04 Yankees as a bad team. Not true they easily had the talent to win the world series that year and this team was alot better than most of that era. It was just time for the curse to end after decades of completely owning the red sox and the 04 Yankees just happened to be the team on the field when it finally happened.
Yankees had a young kid, they got from the dodgers. He could throw heat. Scott proctor. Why they didn't add him to the bullpen, is beyond me. He could have helped. Rookie or not.
It was a bad team starting pitching wise. Beyond Mussina, they didn't have good starting pitching. Their bullpen was very good but their bullpen was so exhausted going into the playoffs, that meltdown was bound to happen. The bullpen had been overworked at the end of the season. The offense which was good all year had something to do with the meltdown obviously. But you look at how Torre went with Brown for game 7, that tells you how terrible their starting pitching options were.
This 04 team was highly flawed, especially in terms of starting pitching. As a result, the offense had to carry them, and the pen was over used due to the ineffectiveness of the SP.

Yankees Classic and Jon Miller? This channel spoils me!
@Bread And Circuses Yankees are the most popular team and Jon Miller is the man!
Jon Lieber was such an underrated pitcher in his career.

This started the long postseason losing streak for the Twins
"Min leads series 1-0" is something you'd have to see to believe.

Yup. Looking at it now. The Yankees ALCS Collapse was not a surprise.

@@Surfer041 exactly what I meant.
@bigrich6075 the ALCS collapse still shouldn't have happened. Torre butchered it, and Boston got lucky in games 4 5 and 6.
Is there a way you can get Game 3 of the 2004 ALDS for the Yankees and Twins highlights as well?
I haven't been able to find that game sadly :(

I would do that but there's already a bunch of channels that cover that area.
