Giants Rewind: 2014 NLDS Game 1

Strickland vs. Harper is born

[@davindomingo4363]

Anyone else see how smooth that double play was when Crawford made the off-balance throw WHILE avoiding Harper’s slide? Slick af

[@TonyPxTV]

peavy was on one after that

[@jpgr1823]

What jumps out to me here is what an amazing play by play man Matt Vasgersian is

[@TheAlchemic1]

10:44 “Giants’ closer of the future shuts an inning in the present.” Well, he was the closer at one point but look now, buddy.

[@dailydoseofbaseball]

TheAlchemic1 lmao he’s the closer of a future independent league team

[@jamesgoss1860]

And then Strickland gets a World Series ring with the Nationals, and Bryce Harper does not. Sports is funny like that.

[@philobeddoe8342]

Love the announcer saying the Giants stole one. They out hit the Nats 12-6, the Nationals were lucky to be in that game.

[@italianstallion6929]

At the time a lot of announcers always say that the lower seeded team needs to steal a game on the road before it gets to their ballpark. He just means they won the game when the nats were the favorites. The giants absolutely played better throughout this game and the whole series. They deserved to win.

[@machinesofgod]

Wow, I had no idea Schierholtz was on the Nats in '14 😯

[@MichaelAnthonyPresents]

Yeah, he was a Cub in 2013 and was great, but was released in 2014 by them cause he was absolutely horrible and the Nats picked him up.

[@jamesgoss1860]

This was the most impressive series that year for the Giants. They couldn't lean on Bumgarner, so they absolutely needed the best possible versions of Peavy, Hudson, and Vogelsong and that's what they got. After this, they didn't get a single quality start from those three starters in the NLCS and WS. And then on top of that, surviving the 18-inning game 2.

[@johnnym8301]

14:58 That may have been the biggest out of the series... Mismatch city.

[@douglasseeley9157]

I'll always look at the Nationals as what I call Expos south. The poor Expos. Had a 6 game lead over the Braves on Aug. 10, 1994 when the strike ended that season. That franchise finally broke through with a scintillating championship in 2019.

[@AngryStraightWhiteMale]

So many great memories, man! Thanks for the upload.

[@D-Licker]

Next video will probably be like 40 minutes lol

[@owyatt3727]

And this is ended up ending Mike Morse's career

[@Cole91365]

I loved jake peavy

[@fmeternal7773]

Is it just me or does Jerry Blevins look like Ross from Friends 😂

[@Mr.Derogatory316]

Hunter Strickland the worst reliever you can rely on

[@postnutclarity6337]

There’s one nationals fan still salty lol.

[@Tacoz4lifee]

This announcer was so annoying you could tell he was rooting for the Nats, I’d actually prefer Joe Buck
