This baseball is rougher than today's nfl.
PRECISELY Beef!🤣
That collision was LEGAL. I remember those days.
McReynolds and Scoscia: two tough guys
ALL sports were rougher back then. Look at the NHL now. It's like a women's league compared to the 80s.
@breadandcircuses8127I ate breathed and slept football from 13 to about 5 years i stopped watching. Its a different game then i grew up loving. I don’t even recognize it anymore!
Mike Soscia still hurts from that...he didn't realize who he was dealing with...but kudos to him...nowadays it's pattycake and pitchers that can't complete a game....here's to the heroes 🏆
Great memories of the Mets 1988 baseball season. 30-11 start. 500 baseball during a very hot summer here in NY, then fought off the Pirates in 2 exciting weekend series in late July early Aug, caught fire again in late Aug to close it out with a 29-8 finish.
DITTO Garfield! I particularly liked McReynolds' blase response upon scoring the go ahead run.🤣
I was at this game. I was 12 years old and I'll never forget Shelby missing that line driver at center field. It stays in my memory. I was a Yankees fan but living in LA at the time. I had been in LA for a year coming from NYC so I figured I'd root for the Mets lol
I was at this game too as a 14 years old
great piece of hitting by an aging Gary Carter there. Outside curve, waited for it
Still don'r know why Johnson didn't bring in Myers to pitch to Soscia in game 4. Myers had a great year in 88 and lefty vs lefty , edge Mets. That game turned around the series.
Totally agree 💯. Gooden should NEVER have been in the 9th inning
Darryl was pretty clutch.
if not for the Scioscia home run in game 4 in the 9th, the Mets would have likely went on to face the A's. Too bad we did not get to see that matchup but hats off to the Dodgers. They upset the favored Mets in 7 games despite losing 10 out of 11 in the regular season
Hershisher ended the regular season with 59 scoreless innings. Then, he added 8 more in the NLCS. Amazing. I fully expected the Mets to win this series and never expected the Dodgers to beat the A's.
The mid 80's Mets were a majical team that should have won at least one more championship. they somewhat underachieved. legends none the less
1986, 1988 and 1990 should have won.
@@bobbenbrown123 they weren’t good enough
Magical
@@TL2354 - you're seriously correcting a internet comment. this is a relaxed forum where people type with their index finger while eating ribs.
If there had been a wildcard ..
Davey Johnson destroyed this entire NLCS by NOT making beast RANDY MYERS start the 9th inning of game 4 with the Mets up 4 to 2. With the Mets taking game 4 the Dodgers are down 3 games to 1 going into game 5 at shea
And the Mets would have won the series in 5 games and beaten Oakland in the World series. What might have been 😮
Lenny Dykstra has always been the most outspoken critic of Davey Johnson's decision to stick with "Doc" Gooden in game 4 rather than bring Randy Myers in the game ....
Sadly, Dodgers did this to my Mets on game 4 :(. I really wanted to see the Mets vs the Bash Brothers A's in a 1973 World Series rematch
Yeah me to but it wasn't meant to be... these pathetic bums with a cheating reliever no less beat The Mets... it's just to much to fathom how a team like this went all the way...
The 100-win Mets most definitely should've been in the 1988 World Series, after all they had the National League's best record that year.
I still can't believe we lost this series. End of an era.
Ah come on guys, you blew your load in 86. At least you had that.
@@ogrebattle22763 2+2 is too much for you to fathom
I saw this game live. I was a kid. I was ecstatic.
me too
@@chaznymale1
I saw this game live...but on time delay!
My brother VCRed the game for me for when I got home later that evening, and I made sure to not let anybody tell me the score.
Unfortunately, this game(and the entire season) gives me no pleasure in light of how disappointing the outcome of this series was.
Great game Tuff Ballplayers back then Old School!
Orel hadn't allowed a run in 67 innings and the Mets scored 2 in the 9th off him to win the ballgame!
What a huge comeback victory. I still can’t believe to this day that the Mets lost this series. I was 18 yrs old in college and was devastated when they lost. Oh well.
Mets were the better team no doubt
Was it a given tho they woulda got past the A's...
@@Manatti06 They would have destroyed the A's.
Totally devastated and pissed off 🤬. Never should have lost this series 😭
Gregg Jeffries always kinda looked like a poor man's Lenny Dykstra
😂 K MAC was a big dude ! Don't see those plays anymore.
Love or hate them the Mets were a fun team to watch in those days.
Owned NY for sure... Tru NYers know
I really think the Mets would have also beaten the A's in the World Series. The Mets had the best team in MLB in 1988. In some ways the Mets had a better Team in 1988 than 1986 even though they won 100 games instead of 108. . I was more baffled the Mets lost against the Dodgers in 1988 than the A's losing against them in the World Series. Gooden was running out of mojo and you know his history in the World Series yet Johnson leaves him gift wrapping Game 4 win and eventually the series. As good the decisions he made in 1986 he made the biggest boner mistake in all the Playoffs series he managed the Mets leaving Gooden in for the tying runs and game loss instead of bringing Myers in.
Dreaming
I was ten years old in 1988. I knew the Mets were the better team by composure and statistically. Just two years earlier winning 108 games and a world championship. The most wins by any MLB team since a decade earlier when the Big Red Machine did no different victoriously. The Dodgers were definitely underdogs all the way. After this year though the Mets fell apart. Was rather surprised that they didn't continue their prowess for a few more seasons but that's just how the cookie crumbled.
I can remember one day in 1988 seeing a METS fan wearing a 1986 METS baseball Cap saying➡️1986 WORLD CHAMPIONS ‼‼ ... I then ssid to him .. You can change that 86 to an 88 ‼‼ What a monumental "7" Game series defeat against the DODGERS in the NLCS .. that after going➡️ 11-1 Against them during the season .. That game 4 lost in extras took the life out of them ... Playing game 5 at noon the next day was way too soon ... not nearly enough time to allow the sting of the game 4 long to subside ... lost game 5 ➡️7-4 ... END OF STORY .. END OF A "100" WIN SEASON➡️😣😞😣😞‼
Game 4 loss took the life out of the franchise for over a decade. They had those dreadfully overpaid underperforming teams of the early 90s and didn't really recover until they made the playoffs in '99.
It’s even easier to see now why the Mets nailed Howell for pine tar a couple days later. You note he gives up the winning runs here, but he hadn’t been hit hard. Plus, he’s throwing a lot of breaking stuff. Combine that with the fact that they get out of LA with a split and Lasorda NEEDS Orel to come thru repeatedly throughout the series? Sure: get their best reliever out of the picture altogether. After this game, it blows my mind the Mets lost this Series. Unreal.
I thought the 1988 Mets team had more firepower than the 1986 team, and deserved a much better ending than they received.
This game was a perfect emblem of what they were capable of.
In case you were wondering. Griffin told Jeffries it was a line out so Jeffries wandered off the bag griffin asked for the ball real quick but he wasn't thrown the ball.
1988 Dodgers Stadium! Back when you can attend baseball games without being beat up or suckered punched just for rooting for the opposing team.
That's total bullshit. Dodger stadium and the surrounding area were far more dangerous back then than they are today.
Please, you can't go 5 feet without running into a cop at Dodger Stadium. It's reminiscent of going to a game at Shea where NYPD blanketed the ballpark
I remember banging my hand on a table as I swung my arms around in joy.
Kid Carter !!!! Kid Carter !!!!
I was at this game... lost my voice cheering at Carter's game winner....
That being said.mmTake note of what they said earlier in this video, talking about Hershiser having a "relatively low" pitch count at 91.
That's a big league collision if the league is the NFL.
0:17 1995 orel would have caught that ball
Wow, 91 pitches is a pretty low pitch count? My how times have changed. Today, the SP would be long gone.
the way the mets won this game there was no excuse for them losibg the series
Did...Al and Tom mention during the broadcast that the lengthy ovation was due to Orel finally giving up a run for the first time in 68 innings? I understand that regular season stats don't carry over from post-season, but the crowd was not just applauding the game, but the run Orel had from his last 9 starts.
Who’s Tom?
And when the Mets beat red hot Hershiser in this game I knew the series was over (they’d beaten the Dodgers 11 of 12 that year). As a Mets fan I was already thinking of matching up with Oakland.
10 of 11
@@TL2354 .909
But maybe they win... You gotta play the games
How the F! didn't the McReynolds/Soscia collision not SNIFF the top 50 collisions on the MLB channel? Fools!
I never knew why LA had more home games in that series, if NY had a better record
McReynolds ate Sciosia at home plate
Kevin McReynolds is 1000000% concussed lol
As a Dodgers fan, I recall thinking this loss has "harbinger of doom" written all over it.
That dream turned into a nightmare.
I was 15 then... I remember burning a bunch of Dodgers cards when the Mets lost the series...I may have taken baseball a bit too seriously.....
Bet you burned MIke Scoscia's jersey in effagy
@@rjm22nd nah, I always liked the old Dodgers... Garvey, Monday, Scoscia...
Loser
3:30. Thats Old School!
Gm 1 wow what a finish but never remembered bc the Mets lost in 7 and Ron Darling came up short once again in a big spot. Lenny Dykstra was right about Darling getting smacked around early in a big game.
Mets should’ve had home field
Alternating home field within the same league was just wrong and ridiculous
bob ojeda showing off his bandages at 3:54 when he cut his hand cutting the hedges in his garden another reason the mets lost by not having him to pitch...he had an era of 2.88 and led the NL with 5 shut outs
And they choked it away thanks to Frank Cashen. No sooner had that team won in '86, he trades Kevin Mitchell for Kevin McDONALDS!
If only mcreynolds had hit sciossia harder
Mcreynolds vs Soccia an inside linebacker vs a interior lineman.
Why didn’t the Mets have home field advantage in this or the ‘86 NLCS? Had better records than both the Dodgers and Astros but played the pivotal games away from home. Made no sense
They rotated home field in the championship series at that time. That practice stopped sometime in the 90’s.
“That’s a big league collision right there” not anymore! Today they cry! You have to basically let him score so he doesn’t get “hurt” “it’s to dangerous”
How the Mets lost this series to those flukes is beyond me.
Ya I bet the A's were 4:22 wondering the same thing mmmm could it be that the Dodgers were the better team of density? Probably 😅
Davey Johnson should have taken Gooden out and out in Meyers. He was great that year
was Freddy Tucker on the Mets in 1988???
No
So the Mets ended his scoreless inning streak at 67.
The Mets were 10-1 in the regular season against L.A. that year, in their 12 scheduled annual games.
They were rained out of their 12th matchup at Sheat on Sunday, September 4th.
The scheduled starter for L.A. that day was one, Orel Hershiser.
Who had a modest 4 consecutive scoreless inning streak going.
He held the Expos scoreless in the last 4 frames of a complete game 4-2 win at Olympic Stadium.
Going into that rainout Hershiser had a 5-5 record against the powerful Met lineup.
Its most likely that Hershiser does not shut out a Mets lineup that led the league in scoring that year at their home park that day.
He shut out an awful Atlanta team the next night to run his streak to a still modest 13 innings.
History might have been very different had that rainout not occured.
And Orel's aura of invicibility would not have existed without that awesome 59 inning string of ZEROS he carried into the postseason.
In his last 13 starts of 88, including the playoffs, Hershiser pitched 117.1 innings while allowing 9 earned runs.
NINE!!!
Thats an 0.69 ERA.
OH SIXTY NINE.
With a record of 9-3 (he lost 3????) with 1 no decision.
The 3 losses were all to the New York Mets.
@@bigpapasmurfz6252 well, he shut them out for 8 in this game..
@@saveus228 By the time of this game the AWESOME scoreless streak had been piled up, and the aura of invicibility was made.
The 88 Mets were one of the best ever teams to not win the World Series.
They are the answer to a sad trivia question:
Name the only team of the 20th century to lead their league in runs scored, and runs allowed and NOT advance to the World Series?
The 1902 Pirates also 'accomplished' this.
But, they had no World Series to advance to. The first one was played in 1903.
No post season didnt count. The streak ended on opening day 1989 1st inning in Cincinnati
The year Kayleigh McEanny was born this happened. That's how long ago it was.
Scoscia got what he deserved on that play. No reason to be 10 feet up the line.
Carter and Strawberry, both from So. California area (LA/OC)...oh the irony.
91 pitches facing Jeffries and its a low pitch count 😂
When baseball was baseball. You could run over the catcher and take a infielder out with a slide. Now they have all of these old man softball rules. Smdh
This win made the Mets over confident... And then Kirk Gibson was touched by the baseball gods...
No Yankee team in history was more hated than the '88 Mets. Everyone was coked out of their minds except Carter.
I love Oral. But I hate that Dodger pitcher.
Maybe Davey J. was out managed
But then the Mets lost but then the Mets lost but then the Mets lost but then the Mets lost that was just covering lots of times there were more
Time traveler @ 2:14
That's probably her hearing aide 🤣
Probably just listening to the Great Vin Scully do the game on the local radio broadcast. LA fans did that alot when Vin did the Dodgers games. Bring your radio to the game.
Those were the days, when men were men
Boy, sorry, but all this does is bring back how disappointing and meaningless the Met season of 1988 was: they had no business losing to this Dodger team.
God, I can't stand Tim McCarver
McCarver was The Worst
The Mets had a great team but got outplayed in the end by the Dodgers...they both had their 15 minutes of fame...BUT...YANKEES RULE..👍⚾️😁
It's a joke la stole that series
Yeah Dodgers blew that one.. But we know how that series eventually turned out and the ultimate end result to the season.
Kevin McReynolds is to much of a nice guy . Should of taken Mike Soccia out at the plate .
Doesn't matter we won lol
They need to bring back those uniforms.
