 Welcome back to another episode of watching baseball and we are moving on up to the 1979 world series We started in 72 with the Oakland A's They dominated for a bit. Then we went to the Reds. They won two in a row Then we went to the Yankees. They won two in a row and now in 79 It is the Baltimore Orioles versus the Pittsburgh Pirates two teams with yellow and orange in their colors vibrant world series To one team yellow one team orange. Yeah. Yeah, okay two vibrant colors two vibrant colors will say Not your traditional red white and blue teams and James. It's funny. You said we started in 1972 because if we had started in 1971 we would have seen these two very Same teams eight years later a couple hangover guys You kind of probably more than you'd see in nowadays if you saw teams link up eight years later But each team had a couple guys and these teams as you mentioned We're behind some powerhouse teams and each of their leagues They all had both of these teams had 90 plus win years where they didn't make the playoffs It makes you really think like wow wild card nowadays is really good Two teams made the playoffs from each league. Yeah, so But yeah, we've got some good ball players here and we were we didn't find a ball game that fit our exact mold of what we've been doing There's a couple options, but I'll walk off no extra inning game And we researched for a big moment What was the memorable play and from our results? Nothing came I'm sure someone will know of something and yeah comment it below and we'll see maybe we'll do it again Willy Stargill hits a go-ahead home run in game seven, but it's like the sixth inning and then they put on some tack-on run So it's not like yeah, okay, but this game stuck out to us. We've got it's a six three pirates lead So the Orioles are down three runs in the top of the eighth And the Orioles are leading the series two to one Orioles are leading the series two to one They're losing Going into the eighth inning six to three pirates would be tying it up. Yes. And where's this game taking place? You're about to see it's in three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, which Almost doesn't look like a baseball field now and like Pittsburgh has such a beautiful stadium now This place and it doesn't get better than starting off with Kiko Garcia. We love our pirates We're still the one hi mom AL DD and how we these are the we are family pirates as they're known they adopted that song we Family will a star drill couple other cats now. I don't know a lot about Pirates history sure but Things get filtered down to you. I don't know why some planning those really nice pitching a strike. Yeah Things get filtered down to you and you hear about old ballpark barks and like the things that are celebrated in baseball Yeah, I've never heard of the stadium It's a football stadium. I mean it's where the Steelers played. Oh Okay, yeah, I but I never knew that this like I've never heard anyone clamor for the Pirates to play here again This is awful. Yeah, I mean, it's the old Astro turf. That's just where are you with these unions? It's so weird for those not to be throwbacks. Yeah You'd think of those you're like, oh, they're wearing their fun throwbacks. It's like no, this was the The times Yeah, and I think I think no fans in the background like Cleveland is that way too. It just sucks man They have to zoom out after every pitch to try and get some family reaction. Yeah And yeah, I think you would have hated this world series. I think this was a big This is a big catcher. This was a big uniform time So I think the Pirates wore like four different uniforms during this the just the world series I think the Orioles weren't or three different ones or something. Nice. I got excited people 14 hits are ready for Pittsburgh. You want to Pirates catcher? I know nothing about we know Ken singleton and Dave Skaggs any more Dave Skaggs, huh? Dave Skaggs. Oh Kiko threw his bat there Staying alive. Ah, yeah, and this is a age of disco chair. This is Howard Coachell on the call We got yelled at for that. Okay. I mean, I know how hard to sell isn't obviously everyone knows about ourselves But watching the baseball game wasn't just gonna pick his voice out of a random Look at Joe Alfa belly. Look at Joe Alfa belly Kiko Wow. Oh my this field is I'm not gonna be able to get over this field. I apologize in advance, but That is look at that guy was that and by the way, let's Who's the manager's in Earl? Let's mark. It's Earl Weaver versus. I forget the Pirates manager so little jam shot there and Again, we know what's coming, but that's one you mark down because the right fielder Had a shot at it Look at the second baseman classic. It's up there. Let's see how close he is And if this is a baseball field, maybe he dives, but he's not diving on this shit. No, that's what I was gonna say Look at Kenny and Singleton. We're very familiar with Kenny. He calls him Yankee games double hat strong It kind of looks like an Oreo Like the double hat. It looks like an Orioles mouth. Oh, wow. How about that? Yeah Huge insight from Jake there. Yeah, that's why I'm here people All right Kenny some practice swings who's torn the pill here number 43 for the pirate on Robinson Nice pitch. Oh, so they gave the corner last time we we watched they were not giving that. Well, that was a rookie pitcher Yeah, but we've seen that a few times now. I Feel like we've walked away from almost every game being like what that pitchers pegging the spot He wants to and they're just not giving him the call. Oh, oh, wow Okay, sex appeal 10 out of 10. What the hell is that? I Think that was Kent to cool to cool they We're learning a lot. They just turned the lights on Jake. It's huge. Oh Getting darker and colder for Pirates fans here So yeah, this skinny kid look at that practice swing just chopping down at it. This is Don Robinson I like everything about Kenny man big guy Good stance Look at that. That's a nice piece of hitting Man for what about what is about to unfold this ending You got a ball that dropped in front of the right fielder that he probably catches on a normal baseball field And then Kenny slaps it off the short stops club not an easy play. No, that would have been a highlight real play But if you're a Pirates fan, you're gonna be kicking yourself by the end. I do it If he made that field again, if that doesn't go off concrete. Yeah, this is awful place Look at Eddie. Oh my god That's what it's all about people Can I ask a question people might sure get upset it with me about what did Eddie Murray go on to do after? Did he ever become a coach or manager king of the world? Yeah, like what was his post baseball career? I'll look it up. Did he coach briefly? I don't think so, but I don't know not Eddie Murphy Jesus Wikipedia get it right. Yeah What is Eddie Murphy? Look at that stance man ready to just pounce This pitch is Oh Boy Robinson good for you. Oh, he was charged with insider trading. It's tough not ideal Spat on that. Yeah, it's a nice break The sec alleged in a civil claim that Murray had approximately this was the age of sidewinder 235,000 in illegal profits And I also think it's pretty important the Orioles starter Dennis Martinez got pulled after 1.1 in this game Well, dude, who's this pitcher? Did you ever tell me? Yeah, it's Don Robinson. I've been screaming it at you nasty breaking three times silver slugger That's a really nice curve where that starts and ends up. Holy smoke D Rob Damn Murray agreed to settle the SEC civil charges by paying a total 358 grand Not what I was hoping stays on the curve ball chopper to short. Do they get it camera? Oh, I Like that play. Yeah, I know they know they're not gonna double up Murray So just see if he is keep an eye on Kiko at third. I get that I like that play by the second baseman Oh big game Red River Red River shootout. Yeah into that game Not that one still before I'm born 10 years Actually this game might be on my birthday too what day was this game played? Ah Thursday 13th Doug dissent the scenus the senseis Having a tough World Series one for 13. He's trying his hardest though The senseis the sensei He's playing third base for your house Yeah, tough to tough to replace Brooks Where's that? Yeah, man, this pitchers everything I'm about Just got an email from that dentist. I went to one time in LA James. Please stay safe and pray for your health. Yeah Huge thanks dentist Big hack big daddy hacks. I like that. I Like this pitcher guys were swinging back on those World Series as a world series Those uniforms as a world series uniform are kind of tough. I Mean it does feel like a video game And this is a day game on a terrible field like none of this feels World Series None of this feels a special game or a different there's a vibe you need this ain't it It's not giving it to look at the different shades of fake grass. Yeah, you're gonna have all fake grass Just make them all the same shade football field. Whoa Wow trying to murder him geez 90 some miles per hour Pasadena. Hey, did you find out who that relief pitcher was? You're joking You're absolutely joking. I'm not telling you damn Sidewinder right fifth time. I thought this was Robinson. Yeah, I Told you who was in the pen to It's like canvula or something like that. It's a weird name Kent to Colvey to Colvey You have the best career ever the worst To Colvey one time all-star racked up some more who Straight back. Yeah, Kent to Colvey. He was a stud This guy's putting together To Colvey spelled awesome to yeah The K would not have guessed that. Oh gross. Look at this picture of him. I am not a Sidewinder guy Please and no, thank you. Are you kidding me? Yeah, dude. The one cutaway to the bullpen was phenomenal Kent to Colvey was not in yet. Not in yet First and third. We've had a good at back. Oh, yeah, he's battling him drop that nasty curve There it is No check swings No check swings That's what I'm that's one of the biggest takeaways. Yeah, people bunt it all the time and Then every check swing just got no calls. He didn't swing checked it up Like that's their thought process That's a swing in today's game, right? Oh, yeah, very much. I think the batter. It doesn't even ask just kind of walks away Yeah No, not throwing that This guy looks powerful That was a really nice pitch should have had him right there Like you tidy up this guy's hair a little bit and he looks 2000s Early 2000s No high strike back done. That's a tough It's a tough break base is loaded for Gary Renekie. Oh, I kind of like those jackets Look at this, dude, it's the king man. How old was he? Somewhere between 20 and 150 here he is as an old man Dude just Google Kent to Colvet or whatever how you ever you pronounce his name he pitched with Look at this picture Ball behind his back How do you like it's a grasshopper wearing sunglasses throwing sidearm love Gait Jackson and Dallas here we go That's great Texas State Fair There's a nice little break See they started. Okay. This is a milestone for us. They started using The in-between Pitchering getting warmed up. Yeah, not a commercial commercial for their own thing. Yeah, not bad Someone commented on last video. I'm like, I can't believe you guys said I wish they went to commercial. Yeah I was like, yeah, this is better than just watching a guy warm up All right, dude to Colvet played till he was 42. He had a 16-year career Nice stud 25 war for a relief guy at 40 years old. He he threw in 90 games He's only 32 this season Keith we kind of want the world series Yeah, he got Cy Young votes and MVP votes in this season Chuck Tanner the manager of your pirates by the way Chuck Tanner Chuck Tanner. He got All right, okay got 64 votes for Cy Young Kent to Colvet 94 games. What a stud. I'm an absolute monster So baseball reference says you pronounce it sure. I love tent. It says you pronounce it te Call V to Colby to Colby close His nickname was teak. Oh my god another stud coming up. I think we got a pinch hitter This is the game of looks, huh? Yeah, this is this has been the all-style game easily So I think we got a pinch hitter. Yeah, Lohenstein John Lohenstein 143 for the series pinch hitting for Gary Renneke Lohenstein for Renneke This whole game's a swag off from the uniforms To the sunglasses I can't wait to watch this guy stuff. Look at his string being did you see Kasell Kasell? I Want to say things that people would just get so mad. Yes It doesn't sound like he's talking to a booth, which is what I said last time Kasell was on the call Right. It just sounds like there's two guys doing the game and then Kasell is in another booth saying whatever He's saying they turn his mic on every now and then the legend get to do what you want when you're a legend Yeah, I Love his band I mean catcher says I want it down every closer back then was just like Jeff Nelson Fastball tailing away and then slider coming in Adam. Oh, he's true. He's true, baby I'm all about him. I mean, this is one of my favorite finds those glasses are kind of coming back You know and whatever pitch with them on no Yeah, I See can't find it Look how bad that place looks What a bad stadium Do you like how he just goes hands on the knees? Yeah, it's pretty set up. Oh, I realized you were going backwards Have Kiko gave you a pump fake from third there. Oh Oh Got a piece of the catcher. Yeah checks on them nice little jaw in there He is a string beam Like sailed that sailed to the cold a tough day Big tough day at the office all tall skinny pitcher team You go righty from lefty, too. I Like the way he just goes hands on his knees like he's waiting around all boards. That's dude. We're on your time Lefted in the middle a lot of plate Okay One run will score two runs will score Two RBI double two birds in scoring position literally in figurative a Lot of play tough to see Hey, I know you you mock my game of inches sometimes but Fly ball to right in that line drive near Stardale at first Those catch some web and of course not watching this you do that a lot of plays They look like they're playing dress up They look like they're part of a school play. Yes. I mean it's everywhere you turn You got a mustache and some nice hair Billy Smith Smith all day I haven't been paying full attention to this but a lot of the guys have been wearing just one batting glove I'd noticed that I don't know how many have worn to but Billy Smith has to But in all of these that we've one gloveers Because you don't you know, yeah, you know, oh, they're walking them Just to load the bases second and third Billy Smith They walk into get to get to it's got to be like the pitcher with the bases loaded Billy Smith is Pitch hitting for rich dower. You knew that Dave Skaggs Catcher if the catcher is supposed to hit And I think we're gonna get a pinch header for him This is where you have to give a man credit. That's great. Oh, it goes in man Yes, I can guess I'm once yes, I can guess them twice. Yeah, I think he's used to doing solo shit He like doesn't have conversations those shots of So this is Terry Crowley Pinch hitting I mean most of us are familiar with Terry Crowley number 10 2.2 career war. Oh, yeah, two-time World Series champ Let's see what he did this year God limited action, but he hit well He hit 317, oh my god, he barely played 63 at bats Well, what's his deal? Did he get traded over was he hurt? Is he just a bench guy? Just a bench guy Bench dude 2.2 career war teak I'm rooting for teak pretty hard. I know the outcome though. Oh Wow, I don't know about that. Yeah umpires were always bizarre Maybe a crossed good crossed. I definitely we caught it halfway. Absolutely. No, I could crossed when it got to the plate It was in the other batter's box It's a nice chopper I was gonna say I was gonna say he's being calm right there. They just started screaming For no particular reason foul ball He's yelling at the pitch from before. Oh Gotta be gassed Wonder how many pitches he threw Regularly, I mean is that his one pitch just uh I think he threw one like drop ball He's got a fast ball and an off speed his fast balls the two seamer. Yeah runs away They probably called it a sinker dude Howard man oh That fell right into the sweet spot Both of the big rips he gave up just ended up grooving right in there I mean it had the movement, but it was just right under the barrel. I love I mean, it's not You're like him ironically. That's not good stuff. He's he's an all-timer. I think at the time. This was peak I think I think maybe boxing and I've heard his boxing calls without Ian stuff and their fin their phenomenal Whatever he's doing in this world series doesn't flow. There's no flow. No flow. No flow Cassel just comes in the other two have to shut up. He's trying to create moments He's trying to create his all-time boxing calls. Yes Man chopper over the third baseman Just like that Nothing happens in this game But you could put up five runs in a hurry Yeah, this is kind of a weird rally. It's brutal. Yeah, right dude everything about this I'm liking The only that's good is Teek on the bump all the looks. Oh, yeah At the individual the gameplay and the baseball product Look at this guy That was a pitcher Was it the pitcher? Stoddard. I mean it was 0 for 9. It's gotta be was that his first big league at bat? Is the only stat they put up there was 0 for 9 in the minor leagues He's a pitcher. I think that might be his only career hit. Let's see Too many pitching stats I mean he had he had two lifetime regular season hits and 20 at bats What years so he's a 100 career hitter did you have any at 84 and 86 so yeah, I think that was his first ever hit MLB hit. Yeah was an RBI in the world series That's baseball, baby. That's awesome. This is great Hugs weird hug no, I'm all in If it was just him it'd be poetry be awesome Well, don't let the other guys bring him down. Let him work I'm over the other guys. You need to understand. That's the other pitch Let me see it again Just like floats in yeah It's like a floater. It's like a drop ball is what I would guess he calls it coming up next So they're saying he's overworked interesting this is a Like if you were to ask me sure How this inning unfolded like it would be like did the Orioles just like they scored six runs They must have like it's like no they like Bored them and dunked them and baseball, baby concrete ground balled them to death But that guy getting his first big league hit I mean man, I'm looking at the the right fielder the first ball of this inning bloop It didn't even bloop. Well Kiko our guy. Yeah, if he dives and catches that it's a whole new Because then the second the shortstop probably isn't shading the bag and probably gets that Screamer, but it's what makes it a beautiful sport. I'll see of the predetermined outcome Something like that. Are we gonna get a replay or no, they're just gonna talk about it. Got it Lot of hits absolutely right a lot of hits 26 hits thus far That was a nice pitch that one had a little in on it So maybe he's that's it a little bit I think that's his slider the others is to see him in the float pitch is just a bad to see the floater. I Think that's a mistake pitch. It's a floater punch them, but it's academic Okay, it doesn't matter. Yeah, that's what that means. I don't think so But that's how I like to take sure well That's kind of what he meant because he said they son they sent him But it's a cadet because he struck out so it doesn't matter. Yeah, how does that work? I don't understand the phrase in there. I don't know but it's academic Like it's over. I don't know. I don't understand that he's already struck out All right. I mean like we said, there's no X. There's a no extra innings or walk off So that's kind of that game and the rest of the series unfolds I mean the Orioles win that game and they go up 3-1 Pirates rally back They win the next three second definition of academic The first one is relating to education and scholarship know that one a million the second definition of academic Not of practical Relevance, how about that? I had no idea you could That was a second relevant academics. Yep. Yeah living it like my winter jacket on a summer day. It's just academic Yeah, not relevant. Yeah. All right, I think people are gonna give me a lot of guff. Yeah, Howard I'm giving you guff Howard Cassell takes. I think he he was pretty brutal there It's great. He made that World Series into the Howard Cassell show and Not the Baltimore versus the Pirate show plus the surface everything in uniforms everything felt weird Teaks the big winner for me. I'm so glad we don't have concrete fields anymore. Yeah, concrete fields were pretty brutal Is it's what they had at the time? I was in on that Cassell's doing his own thing. Sure Lay out for that ball right field make a play. Yeah, make a play I made a business decision worked out for the pirates. They win this World Series Yeah, they go down three to one in this series and pirates come back. We are family Good for a while for Owen and a for one when I believe that's good Suck it Orioles. Sorry O's. Sorry Ken Singleton. We like you. We like you and you lost This was watching baseball
