00:00Game number five of the 2024 World Series.
00:07Last night inside Yankee Stadium up in the Bronx, the Pinstripes trying to make history
00:11for the first time in World Series history when a team has held a 3-0 series advantage
00:17trying to at least force a game six and a trip back to Los Angeles to head to Dodger
00:22Stadium.
00:23L.A. trying to hold on to win a World Series in five and not give New York any semblance
00:30of life.
00:31And early on, it felt like the Yanks would make that history.
00:35Garrett Cole, an otherworldly performance on the bump.
00:39Aaron Judge awoken with a two-run shot in the first, followed back-to-back by Jazz Chisholm,
00:45Giancarlo Stanton continuing to deliver at the dish.
00:49And then DRS in game five, it was the fifth inning, a disastrous, and I mean disastrous
00:56defensive display out of New York that you could argue with the significance and the
01:02context of that stage might be the worst defensive inning we have seen in Major League Baseball
01:09playoff history.
01:10Two confirmed errors and one play that was officially not scored an error, but an infield
01:16hit for Mookie Betts.
01:18That might be the worst defensive woe of them all.
01:21The Dodgers played five in the fifth.
01:23They tie the game.
01:24The Yankees take the lead just an inning later, but the Dodgers rally again.
01:30In the eighth, two sack flies.
01:33That's all that needed to happen as the Dodgers make history of their own.
01:38The largest comeback deficit to clinch a World Series ever, seven to six in game number five,
01:44the second World Series championship for the Dodgers in the last five seasons.
01:48Who's to say Cole wasn't going to go nine innings pitch yesterday with a shutout and
01:52a complete game in the World Series to force a game number six.
01:55That's where we were headed.
01:56And I think you're right because sometimes we get caught up in being a creature of the
01:59moment and what we see and we're captivated by that.
02:02Oh, that was the worst inning I've ever seen.
02:04We say that's the best catch I've ever seen.
02:06That's the best touchdown.
02:07That's the best comeback.
02:08This might have been in playoff history.
02:10No lie.
02:11The worst inning you will ever see.
02:12You're looking at a guy on first base, you know, to lead off the inning, a simple fly
02:16ball to center field.
02:17The worst part about it was judge misplays that ball, which I don't even know how he
02:21does it.
02:22Takes his eye off it.
02:23Yeah, but he's probably should have just been able to pick it up and throw it the second
02:26base.
02:27But it got away from him.
02:28The Brunner was still going to get there.
02:29That's fine.
02:30Then you have the terrible play by Volpe, which he basically spiked the javelin throw
02:33into the ground when he was 15 feet away from third base and jazz Chisholm.
02:37And then the worst one, maybe even of all of those, which again, the judge wins probably
02:40graded worse because that's just a simple can of corn fly ball rate to you.
02:44But the fact that Anthony Rizzo figured the pitcher was coming over with the pitcher figured
02:48Rizzo is you learn that day number one of spring training, whenever you have pitchers
02:52and catchers report, what's the first thing that they show?
02:55Pictures on the mound, not throwing the baseball, but simulating throwing the baseball and running
02:58to first base.
03:00It's second nature.
03:01The fact that you didn't even get Gericault to run over to first base because he figured
03:04you had it.
03:05That's like saying, Ben, you know, in little league baseball, we always back up the basis.
03:09How many times you see the catcher run up the first baseline just to back up a throw
03:12with the third baseline to do the same thing.
03:14It's just ingrained in you.
03:15And the fact that he forgotten the biggest moment, which would have got them out of the
03:18inning with no runs scored, and they would have won that baseball game horrible across
03:23the board.
03:24It's amazing that major league baseball players made three of those errors in the same inning
03:28to cost themselves the game.
