MLB | Forgotten Classics #24 - 2017 ALDS Game 2 (NYY vs CLE)

[@EXE-Edits]

This may not be the most "forgotten" game, but I think the players on both teams are fun to look back on, and this one was definitely a classic!

[@baseballsoffury642]

Agreed! I watch highlights on this on a regular basis. Suggestions: 2011 ALCS Game 5 or 2013 ALCS Game 1

[@retrac8987]

As a guardian fan I’m still depressed from this

[@PHDFlopperr]

Haha i was about to comment “forgotten??!” But yeah definitely a big classic. Love this game

[@BennyintheBoothPodcast]

Agreed

[@daryldixon3685]

Love these types of videos

[@dab05]

as an indians fan this year was so hard to get over. we were the #1 team in the AL just for us to lose to a wild card team

[@markokuhar670]

This loss hurt worse than 2016

[@osurocks24]

You forgot the 22 game winning streak in the regular season as well. When they got to the playoffs they were cold in Games 3-5 and didn't play well. I felt they used there stuff up in September and struggled in the playoffs because of it.

[@DKGAMING-sb8zg]

I’m still not over it

[@mattp0576]

blowing the 2-0 series lead forever ruins my awesome memories of this game it sucks

[@TheMrSuge]

​@@osurocks24 Disagree. They didn't play bad in this series. People forget how close they came to sweeping the Yankees; lost a heartbreaker in game 3. And the injury to Encarnacion sustained in game 2 really hurt the offense.

[@jameslisle7775]

I’m a Yankees fan and I don’t know how we cameback after this game. Being down 2-0 and blowing a 8-3 lead in Game 2.

[@topicbaseball]

it was more the indians choking i think

[@itsnotadriantho]

But then the Yankees won the series tho lmao

[@markokuhar670]

Did you agree with them firing Girardi?

[@topicbaseball]

@@markokuhar670 hell no, he’s a great manager that made one mistake, didn’t even end up costing them the series.

[@DB-tu1gs]

Both defensively and offensively, yan Gomes was the player of the game

[@eric11ify]

I remember being on my way to watch the Dodgers and Diamondbacks NLDS and was watching this on my phone. I went ballistic after that Lindor homer!

[@mikewagnus7543]

Hey man this is gonna sound nuts. But i was also on the way to the Dodger game and i was watching this on my phone connected to the car speaker in my dads Beamer. We went nuts!!! I was on stadium way waiting to get in the gate i totally remember it.

[@fabioa771]

Gomes representing Brazil and making us proud. Glad he got the ring in 19, the second Brazilian ever, but he was an actual important player, the other one was just on the bench. Yan also caught the last ball

[@baseballsoffury642]

Even though this may not be a forgotten classic, This is a great classic game. I was hoping the Indians would win it all that year.

[@dillpick240]

especially after losing in 2016.

[@codenamelarry6518]

This was the last time in the 2017 postseason that the Yankees lost to a team that wasn’t caught cheating

[@greenland5754]

astros, stinky sox, astros

[@JoeSmith-sx5gw]

Yankees are cheaters also

[@Hacksaw_HIM_Thuggin]

If only scoring 3 runs in 4 road games means you lost to cheating lol

[@culamaaron]

I mean that letter proves the Yankees were cheating to but they still lost💀

[@greenland5754]

@@culamaaron bru LMAOOOO I also heard a while back about judge cheating in '17 at yankee stadium with like hand signs from the bullpen idk

[@greenland5754]

still can't figure out how that 2016/2017 indians roster didn't win it all

[@oldben1800]

this year hurts so much to think back on... Indians were the best offensive team that year...and their pitching was fantastic....mega talented team..with so much heart. What a team

[@vicentequintero2030]

Game 4 of 2003 World Series is a good one for this series. Gonzalez walk off in extras and I think Miggy took Clemens deep that game as well

[@sjlbean]

I thought we were cooked after this. I still can’t believe that we came back after that, The guys rallying behind Girardi was one of my favorite moments in all my years following the Yanks

[@jeansamp14]

Yan Gomes legend. As a Brazilian, I'm proud of him for having achieved a solid career in the MLB

[@aidangertson3190]

I wish I was more into baseball and the playoffs back in the early 2010’s. I would’ve been going ballistic for games like this.

[@greenland5754]

this was my favorite mlb game all the way up until the Rays 7-1 comeback in boston this past labor day

[@A.B.421]

As a Yankees fan, we won this series, so I can look back at this with happiness.

That Lindor homer is so iconic, especially because of the call by Vasgersian. I remember I had just turned on the game when Lindor hit that

[@lukemeyerhoff7646]

I can only imagine how mad Gary Sanchez is at 7:45. A missed opportunity to review a call he was right on turns into a huge momentum shift.

[@smileybone3010]

[@MrAnthonyramon]

This series was something else

[@angelomendez6316]

This game is one could be forgotten about it

[@mrjimi1]

It'd be nice if more of these classics weren't post season games. Cleveland coming back to extend the second longest winning streak, maybe the As game from moneyball, a nohitter, the Angels losing while pitching a sort of no hitter. Something completely separate from the post season can still be classic.

[@treysonmcgrady4750]

Man CC was such a gutsy pitcher. Loved his fire.

[@TheMrSuge]

Yes. With emphasis on the "gut"

[@Miketank35]

Yet we still managed to comeback and win the series

[@benjamingodwin6639]

Might be a stretch, but 2013 NLDS Game 2 ATL vs. LAD was a pretty good game!

[@conpop6924]

At least we cameback and won the series

[@jameskreisler6083]

I still cannot believe we won this series after blowing this game

[@davidconnor5874]

REEEEEEEEMATCH!!!!!!!!!! 4 of our last 5 trips to the postseason we've drawn the Yankees.

[@DavidTorres11717]

7:48, I wish we can get this kind of enthusiasm in MLB: The Show.

[@smileybone3010]

This 17 Indians team was far better than the 16 pennant team that played the Cubs. Just a terrible collapse.

[@miker15]

I agree our rotation was unbelievable... kluber, Carrasco, Bauer, clevinger... if only Francona would have started clevinger in game 4

Still trying to figure out why Urshela was in that lineup. Also Kipnis in CF? How many weaker bats is the manager trying to put in that lineup?

[@greenteaorwater]

This game made me an Indians fan

[@editsdump1284]

I wanted Cleveland to win this series so bad man.

[@markokuhar670]

Almost forgot Kipnis played CF for a bit😂

[@PokemonGo-zk4qt]

As a Cleveland fan idk how they didn’t win a title in 16 and 17. Complete meltdowns both years. Wasted a 22 game streak and a 3-1 lead.

Not reviewing that play definitely factored into girardi’s departure

Definitely seems reasonable to fire a guy in part because he didn't make the right choice to review something he literally could not have seen.

No, the Astros cheated dummy.

[@castlewoods4753]

You need too make the 2017 ALDS game 2 Yankees vs Astros

[@peterharris6409]

Yet another example and reason why people don’t like baseball. Look I hate the Yankees but that’s not a HBP. It hit the bat and was caught. Strike 3 you’re out. The Yankees shouldn’t have to challenge, they got it wrong, that should be an AUTOMATIC review and umpires and EVERYONE should want to get ALL of the calls CORRECT. Insanity. Baseball is the hardest sport to watch and it’s not actually because it’s long or boring, it’s because u can succeed and the ump just gets to say nope. INSANITY

[@collin.grant1]

Joe Giradi was a terrible manager. He had the most talented roster year after year and couldn’t win but one championship
