Oakland had a lockdown starting rotation in the early 2000s. Mulder, Hudson, Zito, and Lidle. The Yankees destroyed Lidle in Game 4, and once the series went back to NY, Oakland had no prayer.
Joseph Yurko what high school team practices THAT play?! Most high school programs are garbage nowadays so I have a very hard time believing that is true.
That play was one of the most dramatic moments in yankee playoff history. The yankees were the 3 time defending champions down 2 games to none in the alds. That play changed the momentum of that entire series. I remember losing my mind when the ump called giambi out.
he ended 6th all time in hits in a much tougher era for hitters. if he didn’t get hurt in 2012 post season and missed the following season, he would have ended up 5th. that’s a Yankee
He played with Spencer and knew he air mailed throws a lot of the time. I can't remember another time when one play silenced a home crowd and changed the course of the series! Awesome
@@haroldfrets1268 Haha...poor Mark Wohlers and his small 1996 mullet! That was definitely a huge moment, But that was only game 4 ! IMO Jeets flip was bigger because of the short series!
I mean, analytics is just information used to play better. You can still approach the game like it's always been approached, but just with better info.
@Jake Russell Players can use info to improve their skills. Info doesn't come at the expense of attitude and demeanor. You can cultivate a positive attitude and take an information-driven approach to skills development.
I remember watching this live, and it was like "Who the heck was that....was that Mussina..?". It was just mind blowing that he made that play. Best baseball postseason that I can remember in my life, even though the Yanks didn't win.
It’s always so interesting to see someone who is considered to be at the apex of their own craft talk about the very thing that makes them so acknowledged. Jeter has such a mind for the game, it’s so cool to hear him break this down.
Such a mind for the game, that's it. The greats don't just have top notch athletic ability in their body, it's in their brains, they see everything and anticipate everything. The great QBs aren't necessarily the ones with the best arms, but the ones who can see multiple players moving in multiple vectors. Jeter knew his teammates and knew exactly what was happening every instant of that play, that's how he knew where to be to catch it and that he had the play at home.
I remember the comments at the time. When Jason Giambi came to the Yankees, he said he was looking forward to seeing that drill. Joe Torre said "we don't teach the flip pass." But Jeter explained it at the time, not in enough depth, but enough that I understood it. And sure enough, they did drill it in spring training. But yeah, Torre was right, the flip isn't actually part of rhe drill.
Of course not because then you are preparing for the right fielder to overthrow 2 cutoff men when that absolutely should not happen. It's not fundamentally correct.
I still wish there had been an iso on Jeter from the time the ball left the bat. Where he drifted, what he was looking at, the whole play. He talks about it here, but we don't see it until the end. One of the top 10 most memorable plays in MLB history for me. (His dive into the 3rd base stands is another one.)
Just was doing my job! Basically that’s what it is. We all know if your heart and motivation is there where it belongs, you make bigger moments. In this case he made GREAT moments, mr. GOAT. Thanks Derek for making baseball bigger and more interesting
I've made plays similar to this myself, not that that is important (we're talking softball here). As a first baseman, I've covered plays for outs at 3rd base. As a shortstop, I've covered home plate. As an outfielder, I've covered 2nd base. My point here is that it's always important to be observant and notice how plays are developing. Trying to get yourself into any position that could help a defensive play is key. Jeter was, and is, the master. I am not, I just love watching how plays could transpire.
In 2013 he played in 17 games because of a broken ankle. He retired 1 year later. I say that's a major injury. Who knows how that 2013 season would have gone and if he plays a 21st season.
@@DavidBennet well, serious injuries are bound to be more likely as you get older, as he was 38 when he broke his ankle in 2012. But hey, in his prime, the only major injury he suffered was a broken shoulder in 2003, every other season in his prime, he played 145+ games.
I knew Chuck Knoublach couldn't throw but this is my first time hearing Shane Spencer couldn't throw either. Was Paul O'Neill already retired by this point? If nothing else he could have at least kicked the ball to one of the cutoff men.
O’Neill wasn’t retired yet but was on the bench for this game after going hitless in the first two games of the series, and with the left-handed Barry Zito on the mound. Facing elimination, Torre started Spencer in right, Knoblauch in left, and Velarde (who returned to the Yankees that season after being away for all their title years) as the DH.
Classic Jeter, very soft spoken, takes no credit, avoids the hoopla, the consomite leader!! I came back to this, just heard that Jeremy Giambi, who because of this clip will be part of baseball history, passed away today at 47 years old, from apparent suicide? So sad to hear, my prayers & thoughts are with Jason & his entire family. Rest easy Jeremy 😭🙏
What about the time where he put himself above the Yankees and hurt their winning chances by not letting the far superior shortstop play there? His ego actively hurt the Yankees
@@SirTylerGolf I don't know what happened, but I do know that Jeter could not have played third that well with his arm, while A-rod became an incredible 3rd-baseman
He has the best instincts & was always alert on every play. He would sacrifice everything just to get an out, like diving into the stands to catch a foul ball. Simply, the best in that category! Congrats & well deserved to be in Cooperstown!!👍👍
chemistry on that last handshake or Jeter mightve still had some hand eye and awareness to finish it. as always, great baseball analysis by the team with another legend.
Is Jeter wrong? Both Jason and Jeremy Giambi both were not fleet of foot. Jason was an MVP with a power bat and a decent first baseman. Sure was talented, but not fast
i put Jeter top 10 on defensive SS he's one of the greats. not the best arm, doesn't have the fastest legs but he always made the right play. the timing Jeter had down.
I do think too many people who think about defense put too much stock in range. While that is a major component of typical defensive situations, there is so much that goes into it now and so much realignments/repositioning after the ball is hit. Jeter was always defensively steady on the balls he reached, and as this video's example shows, Jeter always went to reposition himself so that in the 1% times things go wrong, he might be able to make a play.
I've been a Yankees fan most of my life, so I feel comfortable in saying this, but I still don't think Posada ever tagged Giambi's front leg. He definitely tagged the back leg, but after he stepped on the plate.
Has anyone done an analysis of the ball speed in this play to see if the cutoff actually helped? The throw is online and looks like it would get there faster if Jeter doesn't cut it off.
Someone did make a video about it and it was proven that had jeter not cut it off Giambi would have been safe Jeter cutting it off accelerated the play by like .5 seconds Giambi had .34 to get home once the ball went over both cut offs heads The play bought them .16 seconds Numbers might be off some But the jeters interference was needed to get him out
nobody going to comment on that great throw from right field? it was on line and a good chance it would have made it to the plate in time if jeter wasnt there.
Screw sabermetrics and the numbers that these number nerds use to judge the defense of short stops by. I watched Derek Jeter his whole career and nobody was better at coming in on a ball or going back on a ball or making a relay throw, he was excellent going to his right his weakness may have been up the middle but there’s no one else I want in a World Series game seven at shortstop I don’t want Ozzie Smith I don’t want anybody other than Derek Jeter Mr. clutch Mr. cool The field general the defensive captain for the Yankees as far as I’m concerned. And, he did this from day one in the pressure cooker of playing in Yankee Stadium in NYC for George. Just go check the video of Derek Jeter climbing over the back of Robinson Canó with both of their backs to home plate as he climbs over Robinson Canó to make this incredible catch and the relay throw against the Mets and the unbelievable jump throws in the World Series against the Braves. Top 5 ss all time along with Wagner, Lloyd, Vaughn, Ripken (Banks). Jeter: 7 seasons over .320. Was robbed of an MVP. 78% sb percentage. Could bunt, sacrifice bunt, steal, greatest clutch hitter of his generation along with Big Papi.
Yep. Terrible call by the ump. Can't stand Jeter's fanboys but that would've been a fantastic play by an SS had that out been legit. Umpires are just stupid.
Hate the Yankess and wasn't a Jeter fan (although i respect him). that out of the way, with the career he had if there was a question as to if he should have been unanimous, all you have to do is look at this play and the answer is an emphatic "yes."
Danny Blau Caring about the percentage of the vote you get is a relatively new thing. It doesn’t matter what percentage you get or what ballot you were on. Just get in there, baby.
They've slow-mo'ed the video and got the still frame of Posada's glove tagging Giambi's calf just before his foot touches the plate. It proves he was out. Don't be a troll.
If kids today were taught fundamentals and baseball organizations supported the concept at all levels, baseball would be more fun. Today is home runs and strike outs. Today the game is play for no stolen bases, no defense and no hitting for contact. It's a mess.
Jeter like didn’t need that much breakdown it wasn’t that deep thats what u suppose to do if u play ss .... an the 2nd video lol what was the point they didn’t even get a out he just did what u suppose tolol
Has anyone watching this channel seen a commercial with a gorgeous Asian woman with curly hair sitting at a desk? I was trying to see what the commercial was for when my asshole brother skipped it, because he doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Michael Paul great play I agree but I think his crash into the stands was way more overrated. He made a running catch. Good catch but he didn’t dive into the stands to catch it. His momentum carried him there. I’m not trying to hate on Jeter but it always gets me how much hype that catch gets.
Showboat play. He lets the ball go and they get him out by even more. True, it was bang bang, and he had to make a split second decision, but he didn't need to make that play. Glory hog.
Finally somebody thats not sweating this over rated play. God bless Juergen. As a former player myself... and watching the replay hundreds of times... if Jeter or anybody was not there and Spencer’s ball goes thru, it still makes home plate. Might have been a collision play, but still makes it in front of the plate. Jeter slowed the ball down and made it more accurate. SPENCER THREW A CANNON.
TheGodYouWishYouKnew umm yeah I wrote it so therefore they are my words. Thanks for the obvious. Play was over RATED!!! So... because I said it was “more accurate” means I can’t say the play was over rated? Or I am a Jeter hater? Explain.... hmm...
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew LOL.. not trolling at all. If you watch the replay just once, you will see that Jeter did not need to cut off the ball. The catcher would have had it in plenty of time. Not a hater and not 'stupid'.. just the fact.
I'm a life long Yankee fan. I think this play is really overrated. He did what he was suppose to do. Jeter is always on point and he was on this play. But. Jeter made many better plays in his career.
This play is WAY OVER RATED. That ball makes the catcher regardless of Jeter there or not. If you look at the replay like I have done a thousand times, Jeter slowed the ball down and made it more accurate. Spencer’s throw still makes it to home-plate a little in front. Would have just made the play more closer and possible collision at the plate.
"Like i said i was never invited" haha what a line
Haha! I heard that too ...classy :)
Lol
That man was so salty on that visit.
The flip play becomes more significant once a person knows the position the Yankees were in; down 2-0 in a best of 5 and was clinging to a 1-0 lead.
Oakland had a lockdown starting rotation in the early 2000s. Mulder, Hudson, Zito, and Lidle. The Yankees destroyed Lidle in Game 4, and once the series went back to NY, Oakland had no prayer.
From that point the momentum shifted to the Yankees and they won the series.

I was eating at a restaurant in Cooperstown and they were selling flip books of Jeter doing that play. It's one of my favorite souvenirs.

dtrain3434 Giambi was out, bro
They slow-mo'ed the tape and got a still frame of the tag. Posada gets him on the calf just before his foot touches the plate. Giambi was out.
Showboat play. He lets the ball go and they get him out by even more. True, it was bang bang, and he had to make a split second decision, but he didn't need to make that play. Glory hog.
Juergen Siemers I refuse to believe that you’re this stupid and not just trolling.
Finally somebody thats not sweating this over rated play. God bless Juergen. As a former player myself... and watching the replay hundreds of times... if Jeter or anybody was not there and Spencer’s ball goes thru, it still makes home plate. Might have been a collision play, but still makes it in front of the plate. Jeter slowed the ball down and made it more accurate. SPENCER THREW A CANNON.
MOTSIE GARTACH “Jeter made it more accurate”. Those are your words. So how can you say the play is overrated. Just a Jeter hater?
TheGodYouWishYouKnew umm yeah I wrote it so therefore they are my words. Thanks for the obvious. Play was over RATED!!! So... because I said it was “more accurate” means I can’t say the play was over rated? Or I am a Jeter hater? Explain.... hmm...
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew LOL.. not trolling at all. If you watch the replay just once, you will see that Jeter did not need to cut off the ball. The catcher would have had it in plenty of time. Not a hater and not 'stupid'.. just the fact.
Il NE PEUT PAS avoir un BRUIT DERRIÈRE
I'm a life long Yankee fan. I think this play is really overrated. He did what he was suppose to do. Jeter is always on point and he was on this play. But. Jeter made many better plays in his career.
Jose Iglesias did it better
This play is WAY OVER RATED. That ball makes the catcher regardless of Jeter there or not. If you look at the replay like I have done a thousand times, Jeter slowed the ball down and made it more accurate. Spencer’s throw still makes it to home-plate a little in front. Would have just made the play more closer and possible collision at the plate.
JETER SUCKED. HE WAS A VERY AVERAGE PLAYER WHO GOT 3000 HITS OVER A VERY LONG CAREER PROTECTED BY GREAT LINEUPS.
