This is definitely the 2nd greatest game ever in my life time. The greatest game ever is of course Game 7 of The World Series... Long Live The 2016 Cubs... *GO CUBS NATION* #FlyTheW *[ W ]*
This was THE game . . . when I knew they were not going to be stopped, that they were going to win it all. (Of course, I lost a bit of that faith when they were down 3-1 to the Indians with 2 of the final 3 games to be played in Cleveland, but my feeling about this game in SF turned out to be true.)
Same here and when montero crushed the grand slam in game 1 vs the dodgers i was 100 percent sure ... even down 3 to 1 to Cleveland I really wasn't worried . The whole season was like a dream. So greatful for youtube .. I remember exactly where I was during all these key moments as well. Memories for life.
5 years later, he'll still swing at a pitch that bounces in front of the plate. All you have to do is throw a slider to him on 0-2, and it's an automatic strike out. They are doing him a favor throwing a fastball.
Nope that was the cubs fans fault. The cubs had home field, but the fans didn’t want night games, cubs won two at home lost 3 in Frisco, wait that was the padres in 84. God cubs fans have been traumatized.
As a lifelong Cubs fan, I still have nightmares about Will Clark in 89. They're almost as intense about my overall Ozzie Smith nightmares. Whatevs, we finally won one!
@@paulsparrow9606 He batted .647 in the playoffs against the Cubs and it was just XBH after XBH, sickening after the 1989 season that had so many comeback wins.
Maddon just played Bochy perfectly after the Zobrist double. He took out Russell, a righty and brought in Coghlan, a lefty he never intended on using because he knew Bochy would switch to a lefty cause that's just always what he does when a lefty comes up, no matter what. Cubs ended up with the right handed Contreras, hitting 600 in that post season against a lefty and won the game.
Javy, Willson, KB were 23-24. Babies. Absolutely blows my mind. So young with 108 years and millions of fans hopes on your shoulders. I cannot imagine the pressure of that.
I was thinking the same....the evolution of the game is fast.... But i was thinking more of the cubs hits up the middle wouldnt have gotten through because everyone shifts with a guy behind the pitcher now.
@@davidm8004 everyone shifts with a guy behind the pitcher now.... no they don't. They shift to averages. Baseball is a game of averages. They bet that thats where the batter will hit it lol.
When is your time. Amazing things happened... This is the reward for all the Cubs Fan who waited this long and still believe and never give up... Greatest Fans
As a Dodger fan I was happy to see the Giants lose, especially on their home field. All Dodger fans temporarily became Cubs fans during this playoff series. Even though the Cubs ended up beating the Dodgers in the NLCS, I was still happy for the Cubs as they deserved to win that title after 108 years. And happy the Giants didn't make it back to the World Series. Now if only my Dodgers can claim that title I will be even more happy.
Oof, Imagine making it to the world series 2 times and not winning not even the Padres are that bad(they are worst) im joking i am a fan of baseball not a team
I'm a Dodger fan too so automatically hate the giants. I lived in Chicago for a year. After seeing Wrigley field I became an instant fan, I also believe how can anyone not support their home teams, that is why I currently support the JAZZ.
Statistically speaking, the 2016 Cubs are one of the ten best single season teams I have seen in my lifetime (I was born in 1971). I would even go back to 1961. I would match this team in a Strat game against any team since 1961. They were excellent.
Matt Moore? Jamming out in the SF dugout thinking they still got this. At 4:10 he begins to realize it’s Ben Zobrist AB and his attitude changes l LOL’d
I was at this game. Cubs fan for life. I live in the SF Bay Area now. I was at the game the night before also which went into extra innings and ended very late and the trains would’ve stopped, so I had to leave. Come back the next night for this game. Was so pissed off at the Cubs, I left after the 8th inning. Took the train home and listened to all this happen on my headphones. I was SO pissed and excited at the same damn time.
greg the groove :: drum covers Wow. 2020 hindsight I guess. In retrospect, you should have stayed for the first game, taken a cab or walked to a hotel, then stayed for the second game!
This was when I knew the Cubs were winning it all. Even down 3-1 in the World Series, I just knew 2016 was their year. They beat the Giants, this Spurs-like coldly efficient team, by exploiting THEIR mistakes. The Giants were like Jason Voorhees in October in the 2010's...except for this series.
It might have been even worse under the new rules, if they weren't able to mix/match for Bryant and Rizzo. The double pinch hitter nonsense can't happen though
As an A's fan I definitely jumped for joy once Belt struck out. I couldn't take it after 2014 living around Giants fans. After hearing about the whole even year thing in 2016 I was so excited. I ran into the back yard fell to me knees and raised my arms to the sky
Cubs hitting was horrible this game, look at their stats up at the plate 0-3, 0-4. But they woke up when it was needed from them, very entertaining 9th regardless your affiliation.
That's awesome to watch the Chicago Cubs take over for the lead as a 4 run in the top of of the 9th inning on TH-cam. That's hard to catch up from falling behind by score for baseball games
B V Doubt it. No pitching, We should of traded Bryant, Putting Rose as head coach was a mistake. And we should of traded Schwarber to AL and should of gotten an Arenado type third base and a pitcher. Cubs have the money to go over the luxury tax easily. Been a blind fan is one thing but we should also be realistic and know we’re not good right now. The little we played in the dessert we looked real bad and per statistic we were headed to a third-fourth position the Central.
That playoff run was one of the best, if not the absolute best of all time. They did it every series, and the World Series. Coming back from a 3-1 deficit, and then coming back in game 7 to win it in the 10th. Absolute madness.
Taking out Sergio Romo AFTER ONE BATTER was the dumbest decision Any Manager could make! Could you ever see Joe Torre or Joe Girardi taking out Mariano Rivera after only One Batter?
@@carlbaumeister3439 but you know that one championship is so much more valuable because of the history. Just means so much more to Chicago than any other team
Tom M True. I now live in Utah, but when I was growing up in Chicago, after another year not winning it all, there’s was “well, there’s always next year.” After Cubs were eliminated in 2017, it became, “there’s always last year.” I guess now it’s “there’s always . . . er . . . 4 years ago.”
My life long dream came true never thought imagined it yet never believed that one day 100 yrs 42 yrs of my life on earth we da cubbies would win it all yes like all others chicagoans I cried like a baby 👶
As A Cubs fan, Looking back at this. The bullpen couldn’t get a single out and they were being wasted. If you had Game 5 going with a 3 run save, Don’t waste Law, Lopez, Smith, Romo, Strickland. What would I have done if I was Bochy? Give the Ball to Samardzija, I know he did bad in Game 2 but I would save Cueto for Game 5 along with Bumgarner. This has to be the clear Answer.
Funny story was playing baseball outside climbed on a tree to get a ball and fell down scrapped my back ugly all the way down went inside to my room and turned on old TV and there were the cubs on wgn with tears rolling down my face from the pain and because my mom and dad were going to be pissed at me I watched jody davis,leon Durham, the deer bob Larry bowa the penguin,zonk,the sarge,ryno sandberg
No, sorry. Been a Cubs fan far too long not to know pretty much every playoff appearance the Cubs have made. In '86 they went 70-90 and finished in 5th place. That playoff three-run comeback record was for MLB at the time. Go Cubs, go! Cheers....
This was so great to watch, my Grandpa was a huge cubs fan and I’ve always hated the giants unlike any other team. I definitely love the new “Bochy Rule”, I couldn’t stand him making 3-4 pitching changes in the 9th inning!
Lmao this 1 for 1 can’t happen anymore Was watching this live, was hilarious seeing every SF reliever coming in and completely fail to get their out, then Chapman shuts the door in the other side of the inning 😂
Decision to bunt with a tie game and no outs was risky. I mean, I know the idea was to get the guy to 2nd base with only a force out at 1st. It worked out, but the Cubs were lucky because that was an awful bunt! lol
Crawford's two errors led to runs, and cost the Giants this game. Had they won this one they would have gone to Chicago for the deciding game with Cueto on the mound.
I’m still not entirely convinced on the 3 batter rule but this top of the ninth is a strong case for it lol just grinding the game to halt with change after change, woof

Nothing is more dangerous than Javy Baez in an 0-2 count

@@michaeld6147 leave that slider in any part of the zone and the ball will end up 450ft behind you
Well his wife is probably more dangerous😇😅😷
Nothing is more dangerous than signing this airhead to multi million dollar long term contract!
I will never, ever, ever get tired of watching that half-inning.
This was revenge for what Will Clark did to the Cubs back in '89 at Wrigley!

You are right! Mark Grace tried to make up for that, but for no evail.

That might be part of why they were able to pull it off. Age gives you perspective that can make pressure weigh on you even more heavily
Ikr
And then they regressed. Took all of it from them, but they did something that a lot of past cubs teams wished they did
And Addison Russell
The giants would never be able to pull this pitcher switching now, with the pitching rules changes.
That a dumb rule
B V I believe it
LeviathanStorm38, Bochy's 1/3 of inning use of each reliever left his relievers running on fumes.

Not a good bunt at all. Should have deadened the ball and bunt it down the 3rd base line. Good result cause of the throwing error.
Still gives me chills in 2021
My Giants haven’t recovered from this unfortunately.
Why pitch Law here?
Not playing the shift on Zobrist?!

This was probably the most important win of the cubs playoff run. You did not want a game 5 against cueto
