The crazy thing about Matzek's 7th inning: only one time was contact made and it was a foul by Pujols. That's total dominance.
technically mookie tipped strike 3 (lol)
The fucking BAWLS to throw Betts 3 straight fast balls holy shiiiiiiiitttt im still not over this inning
Effed with his head; he was looking for the slider. Betts is lucky this was the last game of his season. He'd of been messed up for a week afterwards otherwise, second-guessing himself.
Betts was sitting on the slider all 3 pitches and he never saw it. I credit D'arnaud
Minter and Matzek really stepped up this year. There were times when both were really bad, and Minter had his struggles in the past, but they really came through.
Playoff Minter is just built different. He’s been an absolute beast past 2 postseason runs. 20 postseason innings he has 31 K’s with a 2.7 ERA, but over half his runs came from having to pitch 3 innings in a WS game.
@@alec3064 I hope we never let him get away.
Matzek's performance was one for the ages. Braves fans will never forget that.
And Rosario was a beast
Mookie was sitting all over the slider that struck out Pujols, and Matzek just climbed the ladder slightly enough even an emergency swing couldn't foul off. Such a perfect sequence.
That 7th was the make or break moment of the braves season. I thought it was done honestly. Matzek is ridiculous
Tyler Nutzak
Middle initial is H. for HUGE
So fearless that when he gave up hits he thought it was a fluke 😅😤👌🏾
@@HipRapBlack7 that’s facts, G
'Death Star' is my favorite nickname for him. He's obviously got some coconuts, though.
@@MrBendylaw he’s got 2 Death Stars
Matzek was incredible in this game especially.
I will forever love watching the 2 dodger fans who had front row seats to that amazing game.
That 3-1 pitch to smith by minter was absolute filth
(feat. Luke Jackson) 😂😂
I'd love a highlight of the TBS commentary during Matzek's outing. Specifically when they said things like "he's the best in this situation" right before striking someone out.
Without a doubt, one of the most clutch pitching performances in MLB history. I could watch it over and over. Just freakin masterful.
Matzek was doing some serious big league post season pitching.
Damn
Best sequence of outs in the whole NLCS.
Much as I don't care for Ron Darling because he is such a Dodgers homer, his line about Matzek at the end of the 8th was iconic:
"Tyler Matzek. From electrician to LEGEND!"
Absolutely CLINICAL from the boys
Taylor’s double was a hanger from Luke, but how Pollack kept that pitch fair is beyond me. That pitch and the Bellinger home run were so unlucky
I agree the pitch to Pollack was 4-6 inches inside.
I've seen some pretty damn good Braves bullpens, so I won't say this is the best...but damn, these guys put good hitters in the walk-in freezer, and just locked the door on them. Makes me wish we'd have got Venters, Kimbrel, O'Flaherty, and Wagner to a place like this.
The closest we got O'Ventbrel to this was in 2011, but we obviously blew it. Even if they had made the postseason, Kimbrel and Venters, especially, had been used so much during the regular season, there was no way they could be called upon the way Jackson, Matzek, Minter, and Smith were. Their effectiveness would've been truly questionable.
O'Flaherty had been used less, so he would've retained his effectiveness, probably. The Braves would've probably relied on him, Linebrink, and Sherrill increasingly in high-leverage situations.
Just my two cents.
@@RightCenterBack321 Well, we'll never know. But I'm not sure overwork would've dulled Venters and Kimbrel that much. Those guys were sooooo filthy. Venters in particular. That high 90's sinker, when he dropped it just right, was the single most brutal pitch I've ever seen. Absolutely unhittable. It's an apocryphal story, but apparently Wagner told Venters, when he was giving advice to the rest of the bullpen, that he didn't need to worry about anything but just getting that abomination in the strike zone.
@@MrBendylaw Great as Matzek was, 2011 Venters was still better than him.
I think the proof is in the pudding - Kimbrel definitely lost effectiveness towards the end of the season, while Venters still retained effectiveness, but he was clearly reaching his limit by the end of September 2011.
The Braves had some great bullpens. I even miss the Soriano-Gonzalez-O'Flaherty bullpen of 2009.
@@RightCenterBack321 Venters actually beat Mariano Rivera's cutter on a list of filthiest pitches. Aside from Dickey's knuckler, in his 2 or 3 prime seasons, and Jared Fernandez's hard knuckler, which was actually a bit too hard, I've never seen anything move like that at that sort of velocity. A friend of mine caught O'Flaherty in the minors on rehab, said his stuff was absolutely sick. Said he couldn't imagine hitting him. Kimbrel's knuckle curve was consistently called a slider, because of it's velocity. Really good bullpen. Perfect mix of righty and lefty, power stuff, different looks on pitch type and delivery.
Edit: that being said, Matzek is still the Patron Saint of Atlanta bullpens. There are lesser saints; Moylan, Gryboski, Spooneybarger, etc. (I'm avoiding closers because they're overrated), but Matzek is, in fact, the 'Destroyer of Hope'.
@@MrBendylaw I like Moylan too. He was a consistent and versatile in different types of situations. His best season was arguably 2009.
A lot of Braves fans have wanted both Minter and Jackson's heads the past few seasons. If it was up to the fans both these guys would've been gone years ago, but you just don't drop relievers with the stuff they have. Relievers are fickle.
Excellent break down
Matzek: I'm gonna throw the ball right down the middle and you still won't hit it.
The best!
Hold the chart just a couple seconds longer
Ok
Word on the street says mookie is still waiting for that slider from nutzek
Lights Out !!!
Matzek!!!!
Lost in the history of Nutsack bailing out Luke effin Jackson is Minters dominant inning.
Fluke Jackson almost lost us game 6 to the dodgers, but the goat tyler matzek saved the day
He is awful I don’t know why they keep him on the roster
@@jessewise9004 IKR
"Fluke" Jackson? More like PUKE Jackson!! 🤮
Matzy Boy! And Riley Boy at 3rd!
Does anyone have the full inning of Tyler shutting down the dodgers???
I would like to relive that magic
Yeah, type in Matzek silences the Dodgers or something like that. It's an MLB video
Braves
1:25 Look how happy they look... Seriously, how the fuck did they sneak in?
*head bows
Good compilation here, but the editing is annoying (how it goes from one clip into the next so abruptly) and that red box after every pitch too. Stahp
