Just a request if possible PD, do you have the July 3, 1986 Astros @ Mets game? It was fireworks night and Strawberry tied the game in the bottom of the 9th with a dead centerfield HR & Ray Knight won it in the 10th. Great game
Amazing how off McCarver is about Dodger fans not being in the stands at Shea. Many Dodger fans, including my Dad continued to follow them after they left Brooklyn. Anytime I've been to Mets games against LA & the Giants there's always plenty of fans of theres in the stands.
I still hate Mike Scoscia for that game tying HR off Gooden in Game 4. Changed everything. the Mets were an out away from going up 3-1. Randy Myers was up and ready in the bullpen, Gooden was clearly tired, Davey Johnson should have made that move
1984 Mets really exciting team. Fundamentally sound, Manager Johnson effectively utilizing hit and run./ Really scrappy team rejuvenating Mets fans still jaded regarding 1977 Seaver's tragic exit.
La gran pregunta Valenzuela en otro equipo con más bateó hubiera ganado más juegos y más series mundiales? Y la otra pregunta con uno entrenador hubiera alargado su carrera , ya que Lazorda lo sobre trabajaba y lo usaba casi siempre los 9 entradas sin usar relevos. Cómo muestra está este juego donde perdiendo por más de 4 carreras lo siguió usando
Mr. Balaban was one of my professors in high school in Central New Jersey in the eighties. Never paid much attention to security since I didn't attend my first game in person until I was an adult (my father was European and hated baseball lol). He told me that he worked security at both Shea and Yankee Stadiums. Regardless, the mustache, the glasses I would recognize him anywhere!!
Yup. And it went back to Doc’s minor league days. Imagine an 18-year-old being allowed to throw nearly 200 innings in A-ball nowadays (although a lot of big-time college programs still abuse their star pitchers). For all the moaning and groaning people do about how everyone threw complete games back in the day (understandable and somewhat justified), and how modern pitchers seem to be getting injured more frequently despite throwing fewer innings, they forget or ignore how many catastrophic shoulder injuries from overuse there used to be that ended careers and/or significantly diminished performance. We only remember the outlier survivors. At least guys can come back from Tommy John surgery and remain just as effective; a torn rotator cuff is an entirely different story.
@@stevep8445 You may not like it, but it’s true. There are other aspects too, like increased velocity, more attention to the third time through the order penalty, larger bullpens with more dominant relievers, fewer black holes in modern lineups, etc.
Ya can't beat 84...after a childhood of pain and suffering the Muts finally reward my loyalty by being good!
im 10 years old again watching this with my dad in our wood panel living room on our 20 inch rca tv with an atari 2600 on the floor in front of it lol
It’s hard to believe he only won 20 games once but he made it a good one in 1985. I remember as a 12 year old thinking ‘man this guy is GREAT!’
You could say that about both of them. Both had each won a ROY, CY, & WS before the age of 22.

Never forgot that game. Knight struck out 4 times that night!
Gosh. That was my first baseball game. Abs we left early but heard the rest on the radio driving home.
That was the game one Tim McCarver said they were the dominant team in the game in either league
it'd be great if anyone had it or any of the other ones from 1986 from wor-tv and sportschannel
Good to hear from you again Rusty!!
You couldn't beat the good doctor in 84-86
Another Valenzuela Match. Thank God!!! Or the one who uploaded this video!!! And he was held in high regards by american commentators!!!!!

Macarver always a dick
I don't remember that.
McCarver was off a lot
84 was the year the Mets began to be a good team, in 85 they were a great tea and in 86 a Championship team.
and the 1988 team was very good but the dodgers had the mojo in october
I still hate Mike Scoscia for that game tying HR off Gooden in Game 4. Changed everything. the Mets were an out away from going up 3-1. Randy Myers was up and ready in the bullpen, Gooden was clearly tired, Davey Johnson should have made that move
If Strawberry didn't break his thumb the Mets would have won the NL east in 1985.
This year was the beginning the Mets becoming respectable
Doc = complete game, one run (a home run by Mike Sciosia ironically), 12 strikeouts, won
Valenzuela = complete-game-loss, 4 earned runs
1984 Mets really exciting team. Fundamentally sound, Manager Johnson effectively utilizing hit and run./ Really scrappy team rejuvenating Mets fans still jaded regarding 1977 Seaver's tragic exit.
Scioscia hitting a home run off Gooden. I doubt that'll ever happen again. Oh wait...
That was a forerunner of his home run off Gooden in the 1988 playoff game at Shea -- Scioscia had his number unfortunately.
similar location of fastball, this one hit more to right center. talk about foreshadowing
@@toddkarlin9455 how davey didnt bring in meyers in the 9 th is beyond me
Backman was the epitome of scrappy

1984 Was A Great Year For ⚾⚾ Baseball
mccarver essentially accusing Brooks of juicing after his 8th inning homer
Yea he really was "amazed" with his sudden power jump. Who knows, maybe he was eating his Wheaties that year.
From 5 HR to 13: McCarver was 🤔

@ 6:33 Stadium 'special' officer Alan Balaban lets Lasorda know that Wilpon and Koch want to speak with him.

Hmm
Agree 100%
Funny watching these early Doc games. Obviously they over used him which led to him breaking down which was not helped by drug issues. Talent wasted
