 Welcome back to Watchin' Baseball. It is the 1999, only a couple more months before Y2K. Everyone's bulkin' up because the clocks are gonna attack the world. Life as we know it will end, but first, I think he's go for a championship. My name's John Boy, this is Jake. We're Watchin' Baseball. How about that? These, as always, are brought to you by TheShop at JohnBoyMedia.com. Jake, show him another one. Oh, another one. Wow, okay. Found it. You can always go there and get that. Yankee's swept in 1998, 1999. They look to do the same, Jake. They're playing the team of the 90s, the Braves. This is a cool world series, because I know we've been poking at our Braves fans a little bit. I think we're poking at Macarver when we do that. Yeah, yeah, and Braves fans, because they'll want to think that, or they did think that during the 90s anyways, to make Tim Macarver also say that, but we've got two awesome teams here, the Braves, Glavin, Maddox, Smoltz, Chipper Jones, John Scherholz, also in the Hall of Fame for them, against the 90s Yankees. And I know we've been poking fun, but if the Braves win this world series, it would be two-two in the 90s, and there would be all these debates, who's the better team, the Braves or the Yankees, blah, blah, blah. Is this one of the more talent-filled world series matchups? I am, oh, yes. And I think more so, it's kind of one of those weird things that there's so much that doesn't matter, that does matter. Like you said, Y2K and stuff, but this is the end of the decade. Like we're wrapping up the 90s, we're wrapping up the 1900s, we're wrapping up the 1,000 to 2,000. What do you call that again? The decade-decade decadence? Decadence, yeah. So yeah, there's some fun stuff going on, and I know this is something you don't care about. Unless you do. Okay. This is the first time that world series teams had played each other in the regular season, and then play each other in the world series, because in early league play it was introduced two years ago, but those teams had not played each other. What are you looking at? Let me see that side of your headphones. In the reflection it looks like, yeah, you got a big gap over here, and no gap here. Very interesting. This is like a crooked head. It's tough. That is cool. It's the first time they played each other. I wonder if like the Scouting Report's such small sample size, probably means nothing, but it's very cool. Yeah, it was definitely something first sports reporters to talk about. It'd be like they played during the season, somebody won those games for sure. All right, and we're going to game three. Three. Yankees are down similar situation to 1998. Up in the series 2-0. Won the series. Having thrown 72 pitches through 7. Glavin will start the eighth. Good hearing Uncle Bob in my ear. Well, Bobby Cox was optimistic, and Sandy wanted him to go 7. You're not good, Joe. Glavin said he felt so good he could go 8. Only one headphone for me. Looks like they've got an Olympics here. Yeah, for me too, I think. Just this side. But I'll guarantee the first sign of trouble, Bobby. That's the Bob. Remember we saw Bobby Cox coming years ago, and I was like, that's not the guy. The tough part about this is the hero in this game. He's a man. He's had two good abats against him. I used to like watching him play, too. And lined it deep right. A tremendous leap in front of it by Brian Jordan. Big fan of Jordan. Jordan already is great. What's up, Phillies? Like that? Just go the other way. You think, kids, what the hell are you doing? No, your role. Gerardi knew solo home run doesn't tie the game up. So he didn't go for it. Got another fun fact from the series. Full of him. That's a good replay. That's a modern day replay. Yeah, that was nice. Look at this. Well, OK, so this isn't Fox. Are they still rotating? This is NBC. So NBC, I wonder if they stepped up their game. Because the last time they didn't even have the score bug on the screen. I think they were getting ready for the Olympics. Look at Soho. Soho's such a bench warrior. This sucks because we know Louie Soho. But yeah, I just did a whole jump. Pathetic. Speaking of bad guys. Is it John Rocker versus Chad Curtis? Big. Jesus, a display of bad guys. Chuck Knoblock. Braves only hit one home run this series. Game one. Chipper Phillips. The Chipper kind of crazy. Scared of Chep. My favorite Chep Knoblock still is. The Yimps had gotten so bad. Which I think we mock it. But I think that's a terrible amount of trouble. Well, I think back then society didn't mock any of the lines and stuff. It's unbelievable. And he, at one game, I think, versus the White Sox, walked off the field doing a pitching change. And walked out through the dugout, put on his street clothes, and walked out of Yankee Stadium while the game was still happening. And so now I quit baseball because he couldn't figure out what he wanted to win this time. Just so depressed this year. Jim Larrick's back in this game, or at least. He's back now, right? So, I mean, that's so weird. In the air to right. Knoblock. Look at this, the watches. To the track. To the wall. That's tough camera work at the time. Got porch. The replay is falling. Big time porch, yeah. Huge for the Wiz. I mean, the Wiz thought this might keep them in business. Yeah. And it didn't. That short porch. I want to see the Yankees pricing of the ads. Because the short porch has to be more in center field. Look at that DVD right here. Get digital. Get digital. Oh, that was bad. Maybe, but he had such a bad angle to get to it. Just to pop up to right. That the ball bounces off and goes into the seats. Let's take a look here. I think it hit the top of the wall. Yeah, I'm not sure. I think it hit his glove. Well, he was looking at it. And he thought it got to some of the ball on it. Because it hit his glove. Yeah. That ball hits off his glove. Well, it was both. Yeah, he hit his glove. And then hit the top of the wall. Just wishing it's in there. Such an awkward position for Jordan to make the chance on. Imagine if he made that catch. And it hits off of his glove. Yeah. There's still down 2-0 in the series. And then he can't bring it back. But I mean. Momentum. Glavin's gone. Knoblok's celebrated. I mean, it's just a fucking pop-up. There's something. Yeah. That's the top part. But there's, you know, analytics people. Oh. Come at me. But there's something to momentum in sports. And there's something to. Look at that back there. The ball has been carrying very, very well. The right field. Now watch Jordan leap. But he can't bring it back in the park. Watch this. It hits off the left side of his glove. They're acting like we haven't seen it. Yeah, a lot of times. I mean, this is the first time they've had good replay. So they're like, let's just hand this. All right, let's go. We're showing us some from the first inning. All right, Jordan. This was him in the first inning. And that kept him from closing his glove. This is him in the first inning. What was that, dude? Who was that? I'm hoping some got skipped there. Yeah. John Rocker, 17 days and 11 minutes. John Rocker, 17 days and 11 minutes. To allow Glavin to come out for the air. It's rocking. John Rocker, like, applied. John Rocker looked up to the next two boys. The Reds bullpen. But the Reds are like, no. We're good. We're good. This is a pretty big. And again, it shows how we grew up a little bit. Well, and John Rocker, all time bad guy. So Rocker comes into a tie game. But then Rocker versus Jeter. It's like, it's like Batman type shit. Dude versus Jeter? I think he gets Jeter. That's a nice pick. Tied it up at 5. Braves are up 5-1 in this game. You think that's face jeter just gave? Just gave him a little cute face. Where's the feds? They're having a pretty good series. They keep pecking away at you and finally catch you. And the eighth inning. And now you're in a situation. You know you're going to be looking at Rivera. He fists one in the shallow center and it drops for a hit. Fists one in the shallow center. All the round it looks. That's a little bit of a set. Well, it's baseball. Sorry, guys. I didn't mean to come out. We just had a sip of coffee. Oh, man. It's okay. Well, that was cool that we got to see Jeter do that. But we're going to skip ahead. We're going to skip to the 10th inning. We've just got a fun shot of someone on the Yankees bench. I want to look at. Thinking about it. Zimmer smiling. Zimmer and Spencer. It's a pretty good day. Relaxed and confident Yankee bench. They never panic. They just seem to know exactly what they want to do and how to do it. Just in bottom nine. There it is. That's a good run homer. That even did it five. Yeah, this is a good shot of him. I want to skip to just the 10th. So we see. Hit the ball out of this ballpark. As best that you get it in the middle. Tom Blavin did that. So it's five, five in the 10th. Let's watch a little Mariano. Andrew Jones, who's one for four. His second inning of work. It is funny that my brain sees number 42. Two home runs allowed this season. And I think Mariano Rivera was hit by Andrew Jones in this ballpark in July. They've changed my perspective on it. Jackie Robinson. Strike one. Here it is on July 16th. That's the last time Rivera blew a save. High fastball up around his neck. So that's a fun story line from when they played in the season. The last time, we would have been talking about that. I still think that's kind of big. It was July 16th. No. Patience. Let's get this over with. Can't think about it. That's the home run. He hit off of Rivera. He gets this ball away. You see, hits it hard though. Good swing there by Jones. He hits it to the second base. And throws him out in first base. Nice grab. The DHS spot. He comes up now. So I believe every batter that's faced. Mariano was a pinch hitter in this area. I see Ayan. How about that? One for eight. It's an RBI. It's good. I mean, that's the pitch. That's all it was. I think when we watched the 96th World Series and they brought in a lefty to face one of those things. They did really good. He's a set up guy. He's going to be okay with the right. You can't even see the rotation. You're not going to be okay. I mean those back swings. Awesome. That was a shame. I don't know who was supposed to hit. I'm telling you, I think all three batters hit on the forehead. He was taken to the first aid room here at Yankee Stadium. He was able to walk and talk. He never lost consciousness. No bleeding, but a large welt on his forehead. So they took him to the hospital to be examined as a precautionary measure. We're told he had the bat with him in the ambulance as they drove him off. What did we miss? One and two. What did we miss? And then we're going to get two more pinch hitters. So they emptied the bench. Yep. He's going to take the rocker out for a couple of reasons. One, he's thrown two innings and if the brazen score runs or win this ball game he's going to take the top head games. He's standing so far away from the play. Because I feel like he's trying to make an adjustment. I don't think he can go far away. He didn't cover the outside. I think that's what he's trying to do. Another good pitch there by Rivera. A jump skip and a hop. One high on. Oh, I love that. Ozzy. Firecracker Ozzy. Good energy on him. Don't cut this replay off. I want to see the back flip and then slap. Slap. What was he throwing? Scutter. What was he doing inside? Watching Mariano pitch. It's such a weird thing. I mean, I did it for 20 years of my life basically. But I don't know. You can't follow the count. There's no point in knowing what sequence of pitches he's playing. Especially at this point. Later on. He started throwing two seamers. A little bit. At this point, he's throwing one pitch. What's that? That's a good fake attempt. He didn't have his eye on the ball at all. If you show the side angle. He might have been close, but he wasn't looking at it. Let's see. It's a good jump to let the standing go. You don't want the drunk guy in the upper deck saying why didn't he jump for that? And you get a big aww. Nice pitch. That really is like you, huh? Yeah, his stick. I think if you tightened up the hair. Like you had Mary Alice there and it was just baseball hat and ears. I think you'd look pretty similar. No. I used to go down to like two. I'm pretty pinned in. There's not a lot of gap. I keep you for the whole thing. Yeah, all the lefties are hoping. I know that. That's a good choice. Oh, he doesn't do so. Well, he finally left one over the plate. Yeah, but he can't even cover that. I think that was the whole design. They're standing so far away. He's like literally in the middle of the plate. Watch where it is. But it's far there. And Myers misses it probably because he had two strikes and he's protecting a little bit. So that's like what that's why they're standing far away from that right there. All right. Atlanta has out hit the Yankees. Not the most intimidating bunch. No. Probably got that year wrong. So So Oh It doesn't matter. I just said I'm good. Should have just left it. No doubt. No doubt. No doubt. Good shit, Bob. Craig. Good job, kid. Yeah, a lot of guys got into the game just to have a bad memory. Here he comes. Future. You remember the other at first base? You made an error right away. Yeah, this is the first play. That's what Bob was just saying. They got a bad glove. And What do you think he's going to have in there? I thought first pitch homer. Maybe a second pitch. Ramling. Good baseball. I wouldn't want But I'd want a teammate to have I'm playing football. You're a baseball player. Pitcher left field. You're not playing basketball. Remlinger. I like Remlinger. Remlinger's better. Remlinger. I was just trying to help him out. A bit sweat at. Kind of weird in the out. Looks like you're paying with a sweat on your mind. It's deep. 3-0 Yankees in the series. Do you like that call about? I'm surprised more people haven't clicked that and used that in the silly way. It's deep. It's very deep. It's 3-0 Yankees in the world series. I like that it's deep. I don't like falling in with it. I think you've got an audible from something. Dude, why is Tori and O'Neill always professionals? He almost stops Mel. And he's like, I was like, no, no, no. I get. And then they're face-hugged by Joe. Joe's worried about palm. Because Chad Curtis. This one. They pick him up? Oh, no. This had to really suck. Tori with another face-hug. So is he hunting off to be here? Is he his ally? I don't know. Come on. Don't celebrate him as a bad guy. He's in jail. I think it's a pretty good deal of oil rules right there. Yankees have won 11 consecutive World Series games. Because you lost to at home. You're in the stadium. You're up 5-1 with Glavin thrown the pill. And then to have it end on this. Especially like first at bat, Chad Curtis, like you're saying like, okay, let's get Curtis, let's get Girardi, you know, Knoblock, whatever. Make sure he doesn't beat us. I can't do it. There goes our season. Because of what happened with Pete, we're not going to talk out here on the field. I do want to say that was for you, though, grandma. Thanks. What? Thank you very much, Bob. Chad, tell us about that pitch. I can't do it. As a team, we kind of decided that because of what happened with Pete, we're not going to talk out here on the field. I do want to say that was for you, though, what happened with Pete? Back upstairs to you. All right, Jim, Chad Curtis is the Chevrolet player of the game. His homers started the comeback from 5-1, made it 5-2. What? And then in the bottom of the 10, the first and only man faced by Remlanger, he drives one over the fence and left to win it 6-5. What was that? What was that? They had to be 5-1. That's so weird. Do you have it? Oh. Okay. I'll pause this. So there was a Pete Rose interview after game 2. Yeah. It was with Jim Gray and it was at the article I'm reading, contentious two-and-a-half minute interview with Pete Rose. And, yeah, they, so their shot fired back was damn. Hold on. So what was the interview? We kind of decided because of what happened with Pete, we're not going to talk out here on the field. That's so weird. I'm googling you. I'm trying to find it. Curtis said it wasn't personal with Jim Gray. It's just something the team decided. And then, yeah, I guess Pete Rose, I guess Jim Gray didn't apologize after it because he was like standing behind it and then after this, he was like, okay, I'm sorry baseball fans. Oh, so after this, he apologized? Yeah. After viewing the video, I can understand the reaction of many baseball fans. Gray told NBC audience before. I thought it was important to ask Pete Rose if this was the... This is about the Yankees. That is so weird. I wonder, because Chad Curtis, Jeter did not like Chad Curtis and the Yankees basically got rid of him because Jeter said, get rid of that fucking dude. Because he was super religious and would put his religion on people and then it turns out he was a pedophile at the end so maybe Jeter had some good instincts and all that stuff. I don't think this is related to it. I want to see, is this the combative interview? All right, thank you very much, Hannah. Pete, congratulations. It was my innovation. All-century team. Let me ask you now. It seems as though there is an opening. The American public is very forgiving. Are you willing to show contrition? Admit that you've been on baseball and make some sort of an apology to that effect? Not at all, Jim. Not at all. I'm not going to admit something that happened. I know you get tired of hearing me say that but I appreciate the innovation. I appreciate the American fans voting me and I'm just a small part of a big deal with the overwhelming evidence that is in that report. Why not make that step? I'm going to go fast at night to worry about that. Because I don't know what I'm actually talking about. I'm going to show it to you. We don't want to make that, Pete. Well, why not? Why don't we write what he says? Why don't you sign a paper acknowledging the ban? Why didn't you sign it if you didn't agree? Do you have it at all? Yeah. If you hear another prepaid a press conference you might find my statement was I came here from my little girl a year old so I could apply for real estate at my press conference. So you forgot to add that clause that was in there. You have applied for real estate in 1997. Have you heard back from Commissioner Sealick? No, and that kind of surprised me. It's only been two years though. He's got a lot of things on his mind but I don't do something. Pete, it's been 10 years that you've been allowed on the field. Honestly, the approach that you have taken has not worked. Why not at this point take a different approach? Well, you say it hasn't worked. What do you exactly mean? You're not allowed on baseball. Yeah, I'm against Jim Gray and Pete Rose did bet on baseball and there is evidence but like... There's no place for this. This is not the time nor place. It's an all century team. You're fucking sidelined reporter. If Pete Rose had asked you and been like, hey, I want to make my apology tonight. Like, let's do it. This is Jim Gray trying to create the story. This is like the term sandbag reporter. Gotcha. That's got your journalism. We joke about it. Good for the Yankees if they actually decided we're not going to talk to you because of that. Because that has been bullshit. The universe... They vote him to the all century team and that's what you do with your two minute interview. We'll get off on that situation, Jim Gray. Streamers are already down. This is the last out. Barrel it up, Keith Lockhart. I'm glad Amstel weren't red anymore. Mix it in. Have some fun. Fly Balls. Fly Balls are the best last out. Showing the ball. Same of the decade. Changed his tone. Play Ritz. So, Mariano kept his legs about him this time. The story is just being held up. There's Donna. We just made stadium meetings. I mean, this is their third in four years. Do you think you can tell by the celebration or for a lot of these guys does it look like first time again? It's a loaded question. I mean, you don't get the dog pile. People get hurt in those dog piles. I think that's part of it. But exactly, that's part of being a team that's done it before. Someone do the stats on dog pile in ratio to times one. Crunch those numbers for me. Do we get any post game here? Is Jim Gray going to get up? Who is that? I think it's Lairitz. Get that camera out of here. We don't want you here. I think someone's in there having like a crazy emotion. Is it Mo? O'Neill. All it was really getting after it. And the New York Yankees. This team may be better than the team last year. Statistically, it's not going to let me down. That's emotional. And I'm with Jim Lairitz. Get that camera out of here. Those Rockets kids. That's cool. Cash. I like the idea of Cash just clapping and welcoming him like he's not on the team. Oh Harabu. Aduke. Dono, Young Dono. I think that's all. The amount of like kind of backstories that we know, I'm sure there's tons for everything, but a lot going on there. A lot of guys. A lot of stuff happens when you have 25 guys. Yeah, a lot going on off the field. That's cool. Mariano Pitching is still just insane to me. There's one pitch that can't get him out. What do you like about our series, TVH? Yeah, you would have liked the Braves to take it seven. If any matchup should have went seven. Come on Braves, do it. Braves, Chad Curtis. Chad Curtis. Bad guy. And we buried the lead with Jim Gray. Sam Beggins, son of a bitch. Thanks for watching. See you later.
