The moment that decided the 2019 World Series demands a deep rewind | Nats v Astros
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- This is a bit of a David and Goliath story. Not because the Houston Astros were bigger and stronger than the Washington Nationals, but because the Nationals were so bad at the start of the 2019 season (19-31 in May) you could equate their chances of success to those of a child fighting a giant. And you could equate the Astros' chances of success to the giant because they won 100+ games three seasons in a row. And a championship in 2017.
By all accounts, the Nationals were not supposed to be in the World Series and the Astros absolutely were. But here we are in game 7. David was giving Goliath a run for his money. Or whatever they used back then. Lambs?
Goliath was a Megazoid made up of 7 all-stars including a trio of aces Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, and the newly acquired Zack Greinke.
How’d they do it? Well, they used an injured Max Scherzer, a doubted Stephen Strasburg, a… actually, there’s no negative adjective for Juan Soto he was pretty loved so we’ll just say… a young Juan Soto and a 34-year-old veteran a little over a year removed from an Achilles rupture combined to form a sort of Megazoid of their own. A team, I guess is what I’m trying to describe.
To fully understand how the Nats took down the Astros, how the weak took down the mighty, how the underdog took down the overdog, and how the child took down the giant, we have to rewind.

Beating the Astros with a clang off the foul pole was insanely poetic. As a Nats fan, 2019 genuinely felt like watching a movie in real time
Don’t forget beating STL/LA to avenge the past
Best description of that season was that it was a DnD game where we rolled like 20 natural 20s in a row starting with the Lolmets comeback. Absolutely insane run.
What is poetic about that?
@@SometimesCompitentBang Bang
My favorite clang sound to outdo the bad clanging.
As a Nats fan I will never forget the pure euphoria I had when Howie Kendrick hit that HR in the WS. That whole season was magical, I will never forget it.
I was so happy for Kendrick I loved him on the Dodgers
Howie was so great that season, just a very consistent hitter who had two of the clutchest moments of the post season for us
Loved him on the angels too. That squad was stacked
For years I was a nervous wreck whenever the Nats played in the postseason. The game 5 loss in 2012 was so devastating, and the years of alternating regular-season and postseason futility made it worse. But something eased a bit when Soto hit the line drive single off Hader in the wild card, and turned to relief when Kendrick hit the grand slam in the NLDS game 5. Honestly, I felt almost serene during the World Series that year. I'd just seen them keep fighting and come back so many times that season, that I KNEW we were going to win the second Greinke walked Soto, even before he was pulled.
this is the World Series that got me back into baseball! Epic! also, RIP Stephen's Strasboug's career, at least he went out on a high note.
Seriously agree. With both takes
it's the world series that got me into baseball in the first play
2016 World Series was better. I am a Cubs fan so my opinion is possibly biased lol
The best part about this story is that nobody lost.
Washington got rid of Dusty Baker, then he went to Houston and made a couple of world series-winning one. Bryce Harper went to Philadelphia and became a freaking legend. He helped drag that seemed to a world series they had no business being in.
Max scherzer was on the team and he won the world series that year, validating his contract.
And his bank acct went out on a high note as well
That Nationals team was special. Rendon, Soto, Turner, Strasberg, Scherzer, Corbin, Zimmerman, Eaton & Kendrick all helped the Nats win in their last chance. A great team.
One of the best moments as a Washington sports fan, alone with the Caps winning the Stanley Cup. Winning it big and especially against the Houston Astros was super sweet.
Yeah that deep Nationals Astros rivalry was intense 🙄
It sure was quick
An aspect that doesn't get talked nearly enough is that it ended a 95-year World Series drought for DC going back to the Senators. A shame the Nationals went immediately back to "first in war, first in peace, last in the NL East"
@@MrAndyhdz Nobody said anything about a rivalry, jackass.
Yup. Even though orioles are main team I was still pumped to root for the nats in the world series. Just like imma skins fan but was rooting for Baltimore in their superbowls.😂
Long time Nats fan and DC native here. I can't watch the clip of Kendrick's at bat without crying when the ball clangs. What a freaking year.
Unforgettable October as a Nats fan... We needed SO MANY moments like these to stay alive. Juan Soto in the Wild Card, Stephen Strasburg and Howie Kendrick in the NLDS, and Howie Kendrick again in the WS, among so many other timely performances and clutch moments. Everything had to be perfect for the Nats to pull it off that season, and somehow all of the stars aligned. It's like we saved up all of our luck as a fanbase (and seemingly borrowed some luck from the future) to make that one month of baseball possible, and most of us will say it was totally worth it.
Team of destiny in 2019 for sure. So many things had to go just right for them and they did.
That great comeback earlier that year against the Mets (down 6-7 runs?) to win it? That was a great foreshadow of how amazing this team never gave up.
@@rjpg Yup, I clearly remember that. It was a home run from Kurt Suzuki that put them over the top in that one
As a Nats fan and DMV native thank you for this video. Well done! What a magical year this was, something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Truly a special group. Because of this team is why baby shark will forever have a special place in my heart.
And now for the episode of Collapse about everything that happened next 😞
I can't tell you how freaking much I love this channel. That was awesome. So well done.
Stephane Matteau’s 1994 Game 7 double overtime goal needs a rewind
Absolutely
Or Richter’s game 3 penalty shot save against Bure
@@Chize41Game 4
I have been begging for this moment. YESSS!!! And this dagger shot means a lot to me as a former Halo fan with his making the last shot as the core we had in 2009. Napoli, Kendrick, Guerrero and Hunter was such a fun time and I always loved Kendrick so as Arte became Dan Snyder, I fell in love with the Nationals in 2011. I remember the joy and pain of it all and for Kendrick, the last piece of that core to get the ring was immensely needed closure to the former Angels side of me.
Also Rewinder Suggestion: Soto’s 2019 Wild Card Winning Hit.
Those late-00s Angels team were so good, it's crazy that they didn't go further. Whenever I watched them they seemed like an All Star team beating up on AAA teams. They just felt like the best team of that era, even though they never came close to winning it all. The 2007/8 playoff exits especially were baffling to watch.
@@jawbone78 yep. I have very fond memories of the 09 team the most with how we were a wagon. That was our chance and we could do it. Freaking A-Rod…
That’s why the 2019 team is one I will always cherish so much as Kendrick gave my newfound team the edge over the Astros Wagon which felt like they were a spiritual successor to our 09 team but in the last Hurrah of our window (2012-2021).
@@qshot9848 I was a Nats fan from birth, when they were the Expos, so I definitely appreciated the culmination of the long road in 2019. The mid-2010s Nats were actually a lot like the late-00s Angels, in that every single year they seemed like the obvious best team on paper, and you'd look at who they were running out there every day thinking, "who could possibly be better than this absolute embarrassment of riches?" only to watch them exit in the first round. 2019 was so cathartic.
@@jawbone78 Yeah. That NLCS Sweep was so damn cathartic especially from 2012 where as a kid, I learned sports heartbreak in real time from that double. Watching Eaton rip the souls of Cardinals Fans in half with that swing was euphoric combined with Kendrick cutting them down in game 3.
Watching this from Dacha Beer Garden across the street from Nats Park, I can attest that the place absolutely exploded. Just bedlam. In a series where the away team won all 7 games, this was the closest we could get to a home field crowd.
As a stros fan you did not need to upload this lol, this one stings, a lot moreso than 2021, then we were hobbled and injured. 2019 we were absolutely dominant, then blew it when it mattered
As an Angels fan I hated when Kendrick got traded but seeing him come up clutch all postseason and then to win it in Game 7 definitely made us all proud.
2019 Astros, the best collection of talent ever on a roster that didn't win a a World Series.
Maybe they needed louder trash cans
@@sharkn8do958 wrong year buddy
@@royaltyyy9693 people don't forget
@@sharkn8do958 people are also stupid
one of the most dramatic world series home runs I've ever seen.
Great story, great storytelling. Thanks for this.
And then the Nats promptly went back to being bad, and Astros are still rolling along.
Nats traded away damn near everyone in the team.
It was our very last chance with everything we had. I am glad we got our ring.
@@nickhall8319 And don't have much to show for it, though neither does San Diego.
I like how she continuously said the Astros traded away their future but they’re still on top all these years later.
Crazy. We need to at least one more championship
Travis Ishikawa's walk off HR against the Cardinals in the 2014 NLCS putting the Giants into the WS deserves a rewind.
It’s part of the Madison Bumgarner game 7 rewind
I've always forgiven Rizzo for shutting down Strasburg in 2012. Why? Three words.
MATT FREAKING HARVEY
I just never understood why they didn't save some innings for the playoffs once it was clear the team was for real. They could have gone to a 6 man rotation, skipped a few starts, ANYTHING other than just running down the innings.
Sadly, in the end it only delayed things for Stephen. Long enough for him to get his contract, but both were on the long list of TJ recipients who didn't endure.
Ultimately it was nerve damage though, not the actual tendons.@@sdelmonte
Clara is GOATED for the trash can noises 😂😂😂
I remember being a block away from Nats Stadium when the fireworks went off and everybody was going crazy in the streets as they won 👏🏾🙌🏾
Love these! Y’all should do one of these on the 2009 game 163 when the twins beat the tigers! That game was wild
The parallels between the 2019 Nats and the 2005 Astros are fascinating: both lost a critical superstar to free agency (Harper and Beltran) both were declared dead in May, but somehow defied to odds to win a pennant with some clutch pitching and face off against a dominant super team (the 2019 Astros and '05 White Sox ). Of course the Nationals actually managed to win World Series games.
I am not even into sports, i just like Clara Morris basically telling me sports themed stories with good editing.
Didn't even mention the most remarkable part of that WS was that the road team won every game

That Howie Kendrick HR off that foul pole will always give me goosebumps!!!
I’m an Astros fan, I was at the section right next to the foul pole. I will never forget the sound of the ball hitting the pole. Everyone in the stadium knew that the Astros were going to loose.
How do you mention this World Series without mentioning Baby Shark?
One of the biggest managing choke jobs in WS history. Pulling Greinke when he was absolutely dominating with only 80 pitches was bad enough. Not bringing in the most dominant pitcher in baseball that postseason in Gerrit Cole was even worse. And choosing instead Will Harris, who was completely gassed by this point and had just pitched the day before was icing on the cake. Astros fans will never forget AJ Hinch's stealing defeat from the arms of victory in 2019.
Howie was so good at hitting fastballs, he spent the majority of a season on the Angels hitting in front of Trout - so he would see more fastballs - until other teams figured out he couldn't touch anything offspeed. I spent the entire at-bat yelling at the Astros (on my TV) to throw him fastballs, and they obliged. Also helped that he played like a man on fire that entire postseason.
Good thing they saved Strasberg’s arm. That should keep him healthy forever.
This was the first ever season I watched. No clue who was playing, where and who the teams were, all I knew was there was something really special happening right in front of me.
The trash can noises made me so happy 😂
Pls make more cfb rewinder videos
8:34 i can assure you that more Nats fans are glad Strasburg was rested in 2012 than not lol. source: Nats fan
When are we getting the rewinder on the 1994 game 163 between Billy Haywood’s Miracle Twins and the Mariners?
Whoever narrating this actually did a terrible job😭
The trash can clangs were a great touch 👌
I don’t think I’m healed enough to go through this again
The Astros never recovered from this
The 2019 Washington Nationals reminds of the 2005 Houston Astros. The 2005 Houston Astros were ~15 games below .500 to start the season By June, they got hot, won the Wild Card, and make it all the way to the World Series. Unfortunately, they ran out of gas when facing the Chicago White Sox.
Fun nats team. That game 5 win against the dodgers was insane in the alds to get them there
Pretty fortunate for MLB, and the Astros, that the Nats won this series.
Great Doc, Clara is in her Bag!
Im surprised this vid didnt discuss the pitching that kept them in games and the fact no team won a game at home during that championship series
what’s craziest is that wasn’t even that bad of a pitch… fastball dotted in the corner
You can hear the shock from the fans that they’re not winning anymore that’s wild
I was in Nats Park watching the game on the scoreboard and when they brought in Will Harris the stadium started screaming before anything even happened, we knew they fcked up
9:40 The Angels know all about Rendon making someone pay for their mistake (in signing him)
Awesome HR
I liked this video while it was still in the ads. I can already hear the foul pole clang.
Game 1 was almost as important as game 7. They were in the Astro's home field and everyone was just assuming they stood no chance in the series, and their ace Scherzer comes out and gives up 2 runs right away in the first inning. It looks like the Astros are just going to curb-stomp them and win in 4. And then in the 2nd inning 35-year old Ryan Zimmerman - Mr. Nationals - who's played his entire career with the team through all the bad years and the good ones, to the point they should just put his face on the logo instead of a W - gets up and cranks a home run into the cheap seats to quiet the home crowd, settle down the Nats, and dare all those young bats in the lineup to do one better. They win the game 5-4 and the series 4-3. He only has 4 more hits through the next 6 games, but that's the one that matters most. His home run in that first game is the difference in the entire series.
With the benefit of hindsight it's a bit disengenuous to say the Astros "mortgaged their future" for Zack Greinke. None of the prospects they gave Arizona are even with the team anymore and only 1 has been a serviceable big leaguer so far.
It's also just plain wrong to say Howie Kendrick "barely made the pros" because he was drafted in the 10th round when the draft was 40+ rounds back then
Thought Seth Beer was the one of the prospect that was gonna do good for the Diamondbacks
13:10 oh wheat a beautiful sound that was for Nats fans.
Did the narrator OD on helium?
And Max loves leading ya to water before bailing
I became a Howie Kendrick fan that day. Dont think Kendrick ever needs to pay for a beer in DC ever again.
Ok, now do the collapse episode on this Nats team…
What does the front row people being wealthy have to do with being critical of them? That's dumb.
Wish you would've shown videos like you normally do instead of just photos.
Howie was like rajai Davis in 2016
I get it and in no way am I am Astros fan but there’s no need to constantly discredit their dominance because of 2017.
I dunno if I'm really complaining here as these videos are often entertaining. But it used to be old stuff, last few I've seen it's a rewind for something that just happened. I dunno is there nothing else interesting that';s happened in sports that didn't transpire in the last 20 years? No stories from the 70-90's? Or older? It's fine I guess, just feels weird to call it a rewind when the whole point of rewind is "rewinding" the tape, except all the stories are like a decade after "Tapes" stopped being a thing. I dunno
Pain.
Alot of Astros hate in the comments. I'm glad karma came back against them and they never saw another World Series appearance ever again after that...
They'll always have 🗑 attached them
The 🗑️ can noises 😂😂😂😂😂
Good night and good game
This season was so magical to me, im a huge Commanders fan, so i adopted all Washington teams to root. Nats winning it all was so euphoric for everyone, I started to jump my room when the game ended
I really like listening to Clara. There's something about her voice... her delivery and her writing that just captivates me. Even on videos about subjects I may not be particularly interested in she keeps me focused! Good on ya Clara. Keep up the amazing work.
Knowing Gerrit Cole was standing in the bullpen watching the game slip away will haunt me forever.
That’ll more than likely be Houston’s “Run the Ball” moment while they got a ring in 2022.
trash can jokes aside, that's one thing that wasn't touched on that makes the story even more interesting.
I completely forgot about Cole not being used that game
And Cole was so mad after the game he wore a blank hat while doing interviews and basically said I'm not coming back
I remember immediately after that game someone said on Twitter "Well, we now know what would have happened if Bochy didn't use Bumgarner in 2014", and four years later I still think that is the perfect description of it.
the era of donks on trash cans ended with a donk on the foul poul
Astros kept winning tho👑
@@mattchristopher4192cuz they kept cheating though
@@楊晟-x5uwe ain’t cheating and haven’t cheated since 2019 tho
The way the commissioner went easy on the Astros is a huge oversight.
Should've been penalized to hell.
@@Ruderickle2424the other teams that cheated in the same way weren’t even investigated, so actually the Astros were unfairly punished. Still have consistently won in the subsequent years
For me and every Nationals fan, words can’t describe just how emotionally insane this season, especially the playoff run was for us. But given all the other playoff chokes, the feeling of finally getting over the hump felt better than it ever could have
I had the worst year of my life in 2019, the nats gave me something to cling too
The baseball ones are often my favorite Rewinder episodes. Hearing it narrated by Clara is icing on the cake.
Even as a Braves fan, I was ecstatic for the Nationals winning it all, especially for Strasburg and Zimmerman 😊
Speaking of the Braves, I'm hoping Jorge Soler's moonshot in the 2021 WS Game 6 will get a rewinder soon! How the Braves managed to win it all after spending most of the year under .500 and without Acuña will always amaze me
As a fellow Braves fan, I was literally looking for this comment! I totally agree with you on both points!
Hi, I don’t play baseball and its not that popular in my country, but I downloaded the highlights of the game 6 of the Astros-Braves series because I am amazed at the sport and watching underdogs win is a delight for me.
I like to think there is an alternate universe where Greinke stayed in the game, put away the Nats in the 7th, finished the next two innings, and then gave the most hilariously awkward and terse World Series MVP speech of all time.
Or also we didn't keep Gerrit Cole on the bench
There is no situation where Greinke stays in and the Astros win that game. He was missing the zone the entire inning and walked the go ahead run to the plate. He was done. The call was a decision between Gerrit Cole, the best starter in baseball who has only pitched out of the bullpen once in his career, and Will Harris, the Astros best reliever and an allstar in his own right.
Hinch made the right call. Harris threw as perfect a cutter you could location wise and Kendrick just managed to hit it and keep it fair.
It’s a tip your cap and move on moment. There is no what-if in this scenario that doesn’t have predictable poor results or a complete unknown that nobody can predict.
@@unoriginalwebbGerrit “I’ve only ever pitched out of the pen once in my career and wasn’t particularly good” Cole over the best reliever on the Astros staff? Yeah that’s a no.
Houston would of gone B2B if they won in 21
With how consistently the Nats performed late in high-pressure games, it’s hard to say that keeping in Greinke or even putting in Cole guaranteed a victory here.
The sequence at 5:54, talking about how the Astros got good, killed me. Yes, its an easy joke, but it's a well done easy joke :D.
The clanking of the trash bins was an amazing touch.
The slamming trash can noises starting at 6:09 just about made me die laughing. Absolutely genius.
Same 😂 I caught me so off guard and nearly fell out of my chair laughing. The timing too was impeccable
Since some of y'all have clearly failed to realize, no trash cans were required for the Astros to be great. 6 straight ALCS, 4 WS in 6 years and 2 titles (should've been 3 if not for Hinch). Both of those titles in spite of poor managers. And the fact that the innovator of the scandal (Alex Cora) was responsible for the 2018 ALCS loss to Boston. This Astros team of the past 7 years rivals the 96-01 Yankees as the greatest dynasty of the modern era.
@@matt_h_27 Damn, if they were so good then why did they even use the trash cans?
@@GazzyW007 first off, not everyone did. As for why… you’d have to ask Carlos Beltran (who told the young team they needed to catch up to the league in their sign stealing) and Alex Cora (who was the mastermind behind the method). The team obviously didn’t need to cheat, as they handled the Dodgers in two games in LA. And they also made it to 5 more ALCS after they stopped using them.
Strasburg was an animal this entire playoff run. One of the greatest pitching performances ever, no doubt, especially with the season on the line in game 6, throwing 114 pitches in 8.1 innings. Seemed like whenever the Nats needed a clutch pitching performance he delivered. And the entire lineup found their stride, Rendon calm as always delivering when it mattered most, and Soto becoming a superstar before everyone's eyes. Will never forget them going back-to-back on Kershaw down two in game 5 against the Dodgers. And so many fun memories from this team, Howie and Eaton driving cars in the dugout, Soto's shuffle, Davey getting ejected, and of course Baby Shark. Crazy the Nats won their first ring the season right after their best player left, never seen it before in recent memory, how sweet it must have been. Really sucks to see what happened to this team and the superstars after 2019, but so happy for them they were able to win one in their last hurrah. And shout out to Trent Grisham and Will Harris for their assists along the way :)
Also shoutouts to Dave Roberts for his assists too with Game 4 and Game 5 of the NLDS.
And Josh Hader for imploding in the Wild Card game.
Most cathartic home run of the decade
Rewind Jose Bautista’s bat flip. Beef history barely covers it
Man… I was going to Nats games at RFK when I was a kid and I never thought I would see the day we’d not only be good, but win it all. Yanks and Nats are my two teams, but the Nats winning it all made me happier than almost anything the Yankees have done recently.
As an astros fan, this will never not hurt
On god
Facts
Your team is defending champs. You have nothing to be upset about.
@@sdelmonteThey were 8 outs away of winning it and they blew it, still hurts still
@@sdelmontesteph curry has 4 rings, couldve had 5 if he didnt blow a 3-1 lead in 2016. obviously winning isnt just about winning once it’s about winning as much as possible
As a Washington sports fan I will say I don't hold it too much against Rizzo for shutting down Strasburg in 2012. The Redskins (Commanders) showed us the dangers of rushing back your team's star player with RG3. They rushed him back for that playoff run with a knee healthy enough to play but not healthy enough to stay intact. After he went down then he was never the same again. If we maybe rested him for the rest of the season and playoffs like Strasburg maybe they would have had a mini dynasty like the Nats did. Strasburg getting shut down I believe helped prolong his career just long enough for him to get through the title run. If we played him in 2012 he might've blown out his arm again in the playoffs and we might've nose-dived into a rebuild.
Not only was this a great world series (all wins by both teams were road wins) but it was a great postseason with plenty of drama. Washington beating Milwaukee in the WC game was epic and then upsetting the Dodgers in the NLCS.
They beat the cardinals in the nlcs the dodgers was the nlds
I've always maintained that Soto getting tagged out on the go-ahead hit helped the Nats ride the wave of momentum and close out the game.
@@SuperLvdr "They have Soto hung up, they tag him out, but nobody in this joint cares."
Now you guys have to do a rewinder of Game 2 of the 2018 Stanley Cup finals, with Holtby's "The Save"
If it wasn't on video, I wouldn't believe it was possible.
the trashcan bit for the astros had me in stitches
As an Astros fan I can't believe I'm going watch this as it still haunts me to this very day
they continued their dominant run of ALCS runs and won in 2022 while the Nats turned into ash right after Game 7, I have no hauntings
This is fantastic to re-live. Just want to point out that overall, Nats fans not only were ok with the Stras shutdown in the long-run, time has proven Rizzo correct. Stras signed his first extension with the Nats precisely because Rizzo protected him, and when he was healthy, he was among the best. He is one of the greatest postseason pitchers of all time (look it up). I am grateful that the Nats treated him well, and I'm only sad that his career ended so soon - but at least he brought the city a title, and flags fly forever.
Also, I HATE it when people frame the shutdown as "protecting Strasburg's arm for future postseason runs", because Rizzo was adamant from the beginning that he was doing it to protect Strasburg the person, not Strasburg the baseball asset. Rizzo believed (rightly or wrongly) that Strasburg's injury risk was too great to continue pitching that season, and he was willing to protect his player at the risk of losing baseball games. You can agree or disagree with his rationale, but the fact of the matter is he made a difficult decision to do what he thought was right and stuck to it despite the insane screaching of the rest of the baseball world.
Astros fans were not relaxed during game 7 having a 2-1 lead everyone was stressing
Yea idk what she was saying
As a Nats fan, I'm super disappointed in this video.
The Strasburg shutdown was not why they lost in 2012. That had a lot more to do with Gio Gonzalez and Drew Storen melting down in game 5. Strasburg wouldn't have pitched game 5 of that series anyway - Gio was the workhorse of that staff.
Ad now that we're in 2023 with the benefit of hindsight, Strasburg just retired due to...cumulative long-term injuries that shortened his career.
It's pretty clear that the shutdown had some solid logic behind it, but whoever did this video couldn't be bothered to do a bit of basic research, I guess. This is the kind of analysis I'd expect from some talking head on ESPN Radio.
Also, how do you go that long without mentioning Juan Soto? Come on, do better.
ok this video rocks but I would much rather have had 2019 stras than 2012 stras but people always harp on this! The only people who I've ever seen get on the Nats about the shutdown in 2012 are people who AREN'T Nats fans!
In fact, I DID say "thank goodness we shut Stras down in 2012," multiple times!
And Joe Buck gives a boring call while waiting in line at the dmv.
Joe Davis was a *major* upgrade
Great video. Only thing I think they missed that was important was how Hinch decided not to bring in Cole. There was a lot of controversary behind not doing so.
still waiting for the day they make a video about the 2016 euro cup final between portugal and france, hope secret base produces a video about it some day:)
As a young (well, now 25 year old) Tigers fan who adopted the Nats as my second team, this World Series is still my favorite baseball memory.
