This was the real World Series. Both of these teams were machines, and if the Astros’ players were more healthy, I think this series would have gone on longer.
just rewatching this now... Benintendi's K with bases loaded in game 1 was such a low moment. He was so frustrated. Maybe the biggest game of his career and unfortunately he can't capitalize. He then made the game-winning catches in games 2, 4, and 5, and had arguably the most memorable moment of the whole series with his diving catch. this team was so great and I can't wait for this season
Teams should know by now to not gloat off a game 1 victory. Judge did it, Bregman did it, and look what happened. Neither of their teams won again after that
Red Sox fan here. Moved to Houston in 2016. I went to a game in 2018 during a 4 game series against the Astros, and we lost that game. I was wearing my Red Sox jersey and got heckled by an Astros fan on my way out saying "WHAT HAPPEN BOSTON?" I wonder where he was when we clinched a World Series spot.. I'd love to tell him what happened.
@@justakidinthenati3852 so the team that got caught cheating (Red Sox) didn’t win the series? If you jump in a crowd it isn’t the crowds fault for going for the ball just the same as a foul ball. Again you’re wrong lol
16:17 my favorite moment. After Bregman posted the video of Eovaldi getting lit up earlier in the year, Nasty Nate got the last laugh with 102 heat to blow him away. 💯😂
As a Boston fan, I'm hoping for a rematch this postseason. The Astros were a worthy foe, and are playing great this year. Hopefully, the Red Sox can rise up again.
I remember the Astros fan that interfered with Betts in Game 3, saying that he did nothing wrong. That ball was clearly still in the field of play though.
14:05 It drives me absolutely bananas when they show this pitch, but ignore the one before it that is clearly a ball. I remember being angry for JD that it was called a strike. Then, the next pitch is close and I immediately said, "ok, makeup call. I'm fine with that." Do two wrongs make a right? In this case, yes. JD calmly asked the umpire about strike 2 and went back to business without it affecting him. Verlander just threw "a perfect slider." All he had to do was throw a pretty good one near the same spot, but he throws a curve that just spins and JD executes.
Always kind of found it humorous how they talk about Verlander not getting that strike on JD in Game 5, yet they leave out how he got so many generous strike calls in Game 1.
@@thechild7355 : it didn't work.....Astros lost all 4 home games in the WS against the Nationals......they lost all 3 home games last year against Boston.
Man I was rooting for the Astros last year because I hated every team they played except us of course, but this year I really didn’t like them. They were hella arrogant, especially Bregman. They overreacted to literally everything, sorta like a team full of Puigs. I like it when guys play with swagger, makes the game fun, but sometimes they came off a bit showboaty, like it was a given they were beating us. Glad we whooped em pretty bad
For those of you that think it's cocky to celebrate a game 1 win, you really should celebrate every World Series win, it's a huge thing and it's hard to accomplish.
Congrats LA back 2 back WS shame that the Red Sox gonna win fourth this century. BTW defeated two clubs with 100 wins. Hope that my Sox are underdogs again.
Red won four straight, including 3 at Houston after losing the first game. At 623, that was not a catch, hit the wall first, and the noise was the main reason, but it hit quite above the left fielder's glove, not sure if that was reviewable at the time.
What're you talking about lmao, Sox have had their struggles and are still more than in contention, at the very least they will make a wild card spot and I'll take Sale and Boston's offense in a 1 game playoff anyday, still plenty of baseball left so don't get too ahead of yourself lmao, although it's nice to know they are that big a threat you'd rather just not have them there😎
It does not matter what team you go for you HAVE to give the Red Sox's props cause they won this even when the astros knew what pitch was coming. That's hard.
Why include the pitch before the Martinez homer. It was a strike, but it was a classic "make-up call" by Blue...the pitch before it was as far out of the zone as this one was in... and called a strike.
Them never finishing a series in boston that year is the only disappointing thing about that season. Ofc it matters more that they won but to win at home in boston? Like the cheering and screaming isn’t comparable after a win in an opponents home stadium
This series was out of a movie, MLB from 2016 to 2019 was so good.
