@@loverwrld that is a whole nother level of respect. Like the fans and most of the people who watch baseball would gladly have that happen but he himself did that. That is a true testament to his core character and honestly I have so much respect for the guy.
I think the reason this is so much more common in MLB is because of adaptation/exposure. Guys can come into the league or season with a new approach that pitchers aren't ready for and be dominant to start until someone figures out their weakness, then every opponent begins exploiting that weakness. Happens for both pitchers and batters
It’s really crazy man, so many guys breakout and look like studs till one dude figures out the right pitch mix and all the sudden they are 4-A players at the best
Honestly it's kind of incredible how many truly amazing world series games there have been since 2010 alone. MadBum's absurd relief appearance in game 7 of 2014. The Matt Harvey game in 2015. The David Freese game of 2011. The Arozarena run in game 4 of 2020. Game 7 of 2016. Postseason baseball rules.
i'm glad '16 G7 is being recognized, could be the single best WS game ever. Dogfight into 9th, game tying HR, rain delay into extras, before the longest championship drought is extinguished.
@@saltywingsandavsfan In 2017 Steve Pearce became the first (and only) player in MLB history to hit two wallk off grand slams in the span of a week, doing so in a mere 4 games.
Chris Shelton hit 9 home runs in the first 13 games of the 2006 season for the Tigers. Ended his career with 3.9 WAR after appearing in less than 5 full seasons and never being a clear starter after that run
I don't know if anything can ever surpass the 2011 Cardinals. That entire season was ridiculous, it was non stop constant comebacks literally every time they needed it after the break. It was like 3 months of playoff baseball and David Freese was the exclamation point on it all.
I'm so happy I got to see Game 6 and 7 of 2011 in person, and I didn't even know at the time but David Freese lived 10 minutes from my house.. he would wind down and relax after winning the World Series that I saw in person where I lived... Small world this is, he singlehandedly helped his city become the champions of it 😁
I was 9 years old watching the David Freeze Cardinals run and I still get chills to this day when I think about how legendary that moment was in MLB history. Not even a cardinals fan but that was the most unreal run ever
The actually Linsanity run was some of the most fun I've ever had as an NBA fan and a sports fan even though I'm not a Knicks fan. Can't believe it's been a decade since that happened
The documentary was really interesting. So many people in the Asian community looked up to Jeremy Lin as an idol and an example that they can do anything
Yeah bro, it was pretty dope to see when that run happened to see all the Chinese signs and Chinese people in the audience during his games repping him
Kevin Maas for the Yankees in 1990, Chris Shelton for the Tigers in 2005, Ken Harvey for the Royals in 2004, Jose Oliva for the Braves in 1994, and Jorge Sosa for the Braves in 2005 also all come to mind.
Matt Shoemaker was an absolute GEM to watch in Salt Lake when he pitched for the Angel’s AAA team, he was so kind to my brother every time we came early to games. Shame to hear how his career ended :(
I turned 14 during the 2011 World Series and I watched every Cardinals game during that post-season. I had such bad anxiety watching them but I couldn't stop. I remember sitting on the couch during the 9th inning of game 6 and was just hoping and praying David Freese would do something and he did. The next inning when Josh Hamilton hit that home run I was deflated. Later that inning when Lance Berkman came up to bat I thought the game was over but he handled his business too. By the time David Freese came up to bat the next inning I already knew what the outcome would be. The whole 2011 season and post-season was just great.
Great vid, but 2005 Aaron Small deserved some love here IMO. Came up for the Yankees at the end of July and went 10-0 in the midst of a tight pennant race. He had never really been a starter before that either. Insane stuff
You’re video quality is fantastic pal, just binged through most of them feels like a great mix of Jon Bois and foolish baseball, keep pumping out the videos you’ll blow up in no time!
One streak and period awhile back that deserves mention when we talk about sudden outbursts: In 1925, Brooklyn Dodgers third baseman Milt Stock (a .289 career hitter) was hitting .404 through 67 games. Including four straight four hit games.
@@Drogon7102Stock’s BaBip during that stretch was .424, and he hit .404. He ended 1925 hitting .328 with a .343 BaBip. Out of curiosity does that look like BaBip luck? And what does BaBip represent in relation to batting average?
@@fortynights1513 babip just shows you what your average is when you put the ball in play (batting average on balls in play). A higher babip means the batter usually gets lucky and gets little grounders and bloop hits on their side. If the BABIP is lower then the batter is getting unlucky.
Great video! David Freese is definitely one of those guys who deserves a spot in St Louis' HOF, no question! And had it not already been liked, this video would have gotten an insta-like for the Ozzie Smith back-flip thrown in here for good measure!! Any baseball video with an Ozzie Smith backflip gets an instant like, every time.
As an angels fan, I was a huge Matt shoemaker supporter even after he left. He was such a humble guy and seeing him leave the way he did (getting hit in the face with a liner) made me feel so bad for the guy.
A couple random ones: Sandy Leon, who batted over .300 in 2016 before being a Mendoza line warrior for the rest of his career. Christian Villanueva, with a 3 hr game in an insane debut month in 2018 before quickly vanishing
As a White Sox fan, I'll never forget the Yerminator run. Instead of crying about the way it ended, I choose to be glad that it happened in what turned out to be one of the most enjoyable Sox seasons this century. Glad I didn't spend any money on one of those shirts though.
Great video! As a mets fan, my favorite linsanity run has to be 2015 postseason Daniel Murphy. Homeruns in 6 straight postseason games is crazy, especially considering that basically all of them were important. That game 5 nlds home run to break the tie is legendary.
I really hope next year David Freese changes his mind about the cards HOF. He is more than deserving and us the fans voted him in. If Jason Isringhausen is in there then david freese definitely deserves it.
Love the Snowpoint City music during the David Freese section. Both very nostalgic for me as I followed the Cardinals while they had Albert Pujols back then.
Right now as a cubs fan. I feel like we are experiencing linsanity with Mike Tauchman (more on the defensive end). But even if he comes down and starts being one of the worst bats and defenders in the lineup. He’ll most likely remain on the team because of his huge presence in the clubhouse
@@IHateNicolasCage I feel like he’s been quite a misfit and a guy that every team seems to just gaze right over. Dude has been a stud for the cubbies. And the first proper leader and big lead off bat since Fowler. I will lose it if the cubs front office lets Tauchman and Bellinger walk in free agency
Jeremy Hazelbaker had the shortest wildest run to start his career then did it again the next year but was never seen again after that. Career ops is .827
Dude I live right next door to Matt Shoemakers grandma met him a few times, great guy honestly and been rooting for him for years now hope he can make a comeback somehow
2011 Nyjer Morgan could be on this list as well, not just for his on-field performance but for a guy who was previously perceived as a clubhouse cancer turning into the face of the team.
Dominic Brown or even Rhys Hoskins would've been good choices too. Hoskins is still a solid player but his run at the plate during his first month or so in the big leagues was insane. Dominic Brown on the other hand had us Philly fans thinking he was a future hall of famer because of how well he played for the better part of one season.... then his talent seemingly fell off a cliff and he was out of baseball completely soon after
Aquino's been mentioned a lot, but surprised no one has pointed out Frank Schwindel given how recent and popular he was. 29-year-old 18th rounder posted a 154 wRC+ over the last two months of the 2021 season for the Cubs. Released the next year, hasn't made the majors since. Definition of linsanity
Conteras second half with the white sox might be a good example. Mostly a disappointment, but became an ace for a world series winning team for half a season.
Matt Carpenter had a "linsanity" run last year with the NYY(which if i remember correctly an injury ended. He also had a couple runs like that in STL too. Very streaky player.
Yermin Mercedes was pretty much the only exciting thing to happen to the White Sox since 2005. It's such a shame how things turned out. We can't have nice things in Chicago
11:54 “mysteriously and for no reason at all, his home run rate ballooned” strike outs, walks, ground ball rate, fly ball rate. This is essentially what is in the pitchers control. Unless you are an extreme case like Andrew Heaney or Justin Verlander, a very high or very low HR rate that isn’t on a very high or very low fly ball rate pitcher is mostly the result of luck / random variance.
David Freese was traded for Jim Edmonds? I can't believe I don't remember that. But yeah, definitely greatest out-of-the-blue stretch for anyone I can think of. If he played like that for 10 regular MLB seasons, he'd be a first ballot HOF'er.
