In baseball, the highest stakes often turn triumph into heartbreak, where critical errors, questionable decisions, and star players faltering under pressure define unforgettable collapses. From Brooks Conrad’s defensive miscues in the 2010 NLDS to Gerrit Cole’s struggles in key postseason moments, these failures haunt teams and players alike. Defensive meltdowns, like the Yankees’ costly errors in the 2024 World Series, and managerial decisions, such as Kevin Cash pulling Blake Snell in 2020, showcase how one play, inning, or pitch can unravel a season. Stars like Clayton Kershaw and key hitters disappearing when needed most further amplify the agony. These moments, though crushing, embody baseball’s relentless nature-where resilience and redemption remain possible. The sport’s unpredictability and the opportunity to rise again ensure that even the most devastating collapses become part of its enduring legacy.

6:44 "The Braves ran into prime Tim Lincecum"
That sentence alone is beyond terrifying
Also wish you mentioned that Lincecum only allowed 2 hits and got an absolutely monstrous 14 strikeouts that night, 2 of which were from Conrad
Yes prime Tim had the nasty stuff and could put just about where he wanted wish it would’ve lasted longer but I’m glad I got to see it
I wonder if the 2024 World Series Game 5 mishap, will be known as the worst choke of the 2020s decade?
Nahh they we're gonna lose the WS anyways even if they won that game
They had two huge chokes, Game 1 counts as well.
Of all time that shit was crazy embarrassing poor Gerritt Cole and I’m a dodgers fan Judge sold the Yankees shit
Bro dropped a routine fly ball
@@Biggviccpoor gerrit Cole? He should’ve covered first base in that same inning on that ground ball to rizzo
2023 set me free from the pain of 2011
You aint lying dude. I still have nightmares of game 6.
@@pjsavagejr John Daniels was 2011
but were cardinals fans
Lifelong Ranger fan here. I still have nightmares about 2011. Thank GOD we won it in 2023. FINALLY. Nice vid.
The Lord rewarded the Rangers with a WS win for being the only team to not host an LGBTQ themed night!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
As a Giants fan, Brooks Conrad is one of my heroes. As is Randy Choate. I was at the NLCS game in SF vs. the Phillies, when Randy Choate made the 10th inning, game-losing error.
I hate your 2010 giants with Cody Ross and our own Pat the bat killing us , damn the beard , but not as much as the 2011 cards it’s our own fault letting them in and beating braves . I do love Barry bonds though best player ever
Randy Choate blew a game in the 2012 NLCS giants vs the cardinals I believe. not the phillies. it was either 2012 or 2014 cause Randy was definitely a cardinal when he fucked that one up
@@calebblakemore7674 Sorry, you're right. I don't know why I typed Phillies, when I was thinking and envisioning the Cardinals. Darn middle aged brain lol
I remember watching an NFL game in 2010, and a punt returner muffed a punt. The announcer said "he looked like a Braves 2nd basemen on that play"
Joe buck is gay
Crazy that 2020 didn’t get more love. I mean you had the Braves 3-1 choke job while the Astros almost did the same to the Rays in the CS. Good video !!
Looking at those plays involving Conrad, we have a runner complicating things,a running catch into the sun, and a fast wicked hop. No he wasn't the strongest dfender, but I'm sure anyone else could have made an error on them. Seems like bad luck to me. The death threats and way he was treated here in Atlanta were super wrong.
I agree with you 100% also I would have fielded all of those
2011 is the year to forget for us Red Sox Fans
2013 and 18 made up for that 😂
Thank god I wasn’t invested till the start of the 2013 season.
Amen and 2012 but can’t complain with 2004, 2007, 2013, and 2018 sandwiched around that
Vividly remember punching my pillow,couldn’t even sleep that night 😂
Sucks that that was it for Varitek, Wake, and Tito (at least as Sox manager) and Theo Epstein in the FO
This video is criminally underrated. Very well put together video and hope you guys get a lot more success. Cheers from a Dodgers fan.
As a Braves fan watching this just reminds me how sweet it was to finally win it all
Yep we got jipped two straight years (2010-11) due to injury, fatigue, and epically bad luck. Then the rest of the decade happened lmao.
Just found this and it was worth listening to it for nearly 2 hours, you did an amazing job on this video keep it up man
I could watch Game 7 highlights of the 2016 WS every day until I die and never get sick of them.
So true, so true…106 years was too long for a cubs fan😅
This is before the timeline
2002 World Series
San Francisco Giants
It was heartbreaking
They honestly probably would have won if Bonds wasn’t intentionally walked so many times
@BenInsanity
Remember the pitching when the Giants were up 5 - 0
2013: Koji was Boston's third-string closer, only getting the spot after the first two choices got injured
2016: Cleveland dropped the World Series after leading 3-1 just months after the Cavaliers overcame such a deficit in the NBA Finals
2018: Clayton Kershaw had a history of postseason trouble entering that postseason
2023: Nelson Muntz says "HA HA!"
As a Yankees fan, you never want to blow a seven run lead in the last game of the season that is otherwise meaningless… But blowing a seven run lead that prevents the Red Sox from getting in is beautiful.
Baseball man. It's all about how to manage failure. It's brutal.
Ace is on the mound dealing while your team is literally in an elimination game and you pull him on 73 pitches. Still baffles me to this day.
Excellent video, I couldn't watch the tigers/red sox segment. It hurt too much
I love your choice of music.
Aaron Judge is gonna be in New York City on New Year’s Eve to drop the ball😂
Drew Storen 2012 NLDS
(Edit: Damn you featured it.. great video)
As a Pirates fan, thank you leaving us alone when you could easily have put 2012 for us in this
Do you have the high quality copies of the full games of the 2010 Giants vs Braves series? I can’t seem to find them anywhere but highlights on the MLB channel.
The 2022 blue jays blowing that insane lead brings me peace at night
I was at the Brooks Conrad game. Poor guy, ill hate him forever.
what a scrub right 😂
I have never heard Blake Snell talk but did not expect him to sound like that.
God told the Indians saying "nope y'all need rain"
I was about 9 in 2010. I've loved the Braves since I was a little kid, but I don't vividly remember a ton of the moments prior to about 2013 aside from attending the 10,000th win, as I didn't completely understand the game until quite a bit later.
MAN is watching Brooks Conrad singlehandedly screw us over in that 2010 NLDS making me glad I don't remember that 2010 postseason very well (which is something I unfortunately can't say about the 2012 wildcard game, since I attended that game. I was inconsolable for days and have hated the Cardinals ever since). I would probably hate the Giants immensely if I actually did remember.
It makes me even more thankful I finally got to see them win a ring in '21. Even got to attend Game 3 of that World Series with my little cousin.
1:35 As a Reds fan, it’s been nearly 15 years, and I still cannot get this man out of my soul
1:43:39 If Judge would have worn his glove properly he probably would have made that catch. I will never understand player keeping the glove on only half their hand. I know they say it gives them a extra inch or two reach but the amount of guys that I see drop catches wearing their glove like this is just insane.
this is probably one of the best mlb videos ive even seen
You should’ve continued 2012 with the Cardinals 3-1 NLCS lead turning into a 4-3 series win for the Giants.
That incredible Cardinals team went from the ones who can’t be killed to the ones who couldn’t kill in an instant.
Game 7 of the 2016 WS is the greatest game of baseball ever played.
Tbh the worst choke of 2022 was the Mets in the regular season. They had a 10.5 game lead on the division. The braves who were below .500 at the All Star break. All the Mets had to do was not get swept at the end of the season against the Braves. And the Braves swept them. It is the 3rd largest blown division lead in mlb history.
I met Drew Storen as like a 9 year old at a “donuts with dad” at my school(he was from my area). Great guy!
Very nice video!
AJ Hinch taking out Greinke in 2019 Game 7 of the World series got snubbed
2010 Padres should be on the list. Led the West for 148 days. Had a 6 1/2 game lead over SF on August 25th, only to miss the playoffs completey and lose to San Francisco in Game 162, when they clinched the West. Further salt to the wound is the start of their dynasty.
Asa Braves fan, the 2010 and 2011 meltdowns two seasons in a row, coupled with the 2012 “in-field-fly” fiasco in the NLWCS just was too much to overcome. After yet another 2013 post season exit, my love for baseball began to wane (while braves also sucked).
Sadly, I’m a sucker and let myself suffer 2019 and 2020 again, but I was far less of a hardcore fan by then.
funny how both 2010 and 2011 my rangers faced two teams that wasn’t even supposed to be in the playoffs 😂
You missed something important. They were gonna have Glaus at 3B but he got hurt also. Which is why Derek Lee was acquired and playing 1B
Note: simply calling perdomo the 9 hitter doesn’t explain his clutch in that position
Amazing video!
3:06 bro pulled a freddy freeman
Gotta say 2019 should’ve been Astros blowing 3-2 lead and losing four games at home and 2020 should’ve been Braves blowing 3-1 lead imo rest so far look good
Im a Giants fan and I remember those Conrad errors. If Brooks makes those plays the Braves move on and the Giants don’t win the WS in 2010
So what percentage chance did Mike Piazza have of making the majors being drafted in the 62nd round?
46:31
OH
MY
GOD
Dude said "Veraws and lieland" haha. Its VAERAS and LEELUND.
Might as well make this the Kimbrel choke comp.
Jim Johnson🙏
I doubt 1 game without an error makes anyone that actually follows baseball think, the issues are behind them.
holy shit great video needs more attention.
Thank you!
Rangers didnt choke, Ron Washington was always an underperforming and overhyped manager who wanted to be your friend before getting a W
Is the Brewers choke in 2019 worse than the Dodgers choke that year? Idk I feel like 2019 bothers me more as a Dodger fan than every other year besides 2017.
2024 Mariners have the bigger choke 🔥🔥🔥
12:26 they should have just called up freeman.
Clicked on this without realizing it was almost 2 hours long.
Also happy birthday Brooks Conrad
I'm from Boston and this is better than a Larry Bird video.
When he says “see how judge catches the ball here”
Absolutely awesome video go Diamondbacks
Cant believe you didn't put the 2012 NLDS & NLCS choke jobs by Reds and Cardinals.
The way the Cardinals collapsed, you would have thought the Giants were by far the better team. The Reds choke was pretty bad though, having all 3 at home.
They should have put Conrad at first base
I noticed there were some 2-out rallies in these moments as well
Just subbed
1:06:57 Mike Tomlin is a baseball player now?
I wonder which 2011 choke- ALL OF THEM 😐
Man those Royals stole so many bases 😂
Wow that's a lot of Cardinals devil magic
I love that it was an ex Astro that tied the game against the Rangers and contributed heavily to their downfall
It took them 7 whole years to build the Coliseum? Did they have to abide by Boston city ordinances?!
Pfft. Italian contractors, amirite?
Haven't seen a collapse that bad in NY since 2001
😞😞 It still hurts
17:41 bro has to catch that
Love the vid, but holy cow...ads every 2-3 minutes. Yikes. Messes with the flow of the vid
imagine not using the thousands of free ad blockers for youtube in 2024
How do you pronounce Joaquin Benoit correctly and not jim leyland
1:42:36 bro I’m soooo disappointed that you didn’t talk about the padres choke in 2024. Nor the dodgers getting swept by the dbacks in 23 nor the dodgers getting wrecked by the padres in 22
How did the Padres choke this year? Dodgers beat them senseless in games 4 and 5 that's not really a choke that's just big brother saying enough is enough.
@ they they went scoreless for like 26 innings?
Sweet video bro. You really suck that advertit. This just a guess: Georgetown from Cherry Hill?
"SEE-ass-po", "LIE-land" - this must be AI because no human being researching baseball would ever pronounce things like this
The Year In Sports In 2016 Was Just Phuckin Crazy. What Are The Odds That 2 Cleveland Teams Would Both Be In A 3-1 Situation In Their Leagues Championship Game.
are you humannnn....?
your voice is weirding me out....uncanny valley vibes
Ton of errors in your script. 26:43 neither of these were post season collapses, for example. This was a regular season collapse. Few similar errors before this.
Also, stop hatin on my Bravos
The title of the video is every season not in every post season
Honestly, screw you for not even putting a footnote in there about how the Astros capitalized on the massive chokes against them in 2022.
Dawg it ain’t that deep 😭
Brother it’s an almost 2 hour long video
700th like

That's on Cox for not making a sub.
