MLB | Forgotten Classics #48 - 2016 NLDS Game 5 (LAD vs WSH)

[@etherience5282]

Honestly the saddest thing in this video is seeing how competent Andrew Toles was both as a person and as a player. Sad to see his current stage in life, but hopefully he is getting all the help he needs regarding mental health care. Overall, I miss this Dodgers team (besides Reddick).

[@HUF1998]

Why was Reddick hated during his time with the Dodgers? I’m very curious

[@milopop0006]

@@HUF1998he had a 74 Ops+ so he simply wasn’t good and he was also apart of the 2017 Astros team

[@etherience5282]

@@HUF1998 He wasn’t hated during his time with the Dodgers. He was hated much afterward, specifically once the Astros cheating scandal broke out at the end of 2019 (he played on the cheating 2017 team). It also didn’t help that he just continually fanned the flame and doubled down on the Dodgers essentially not being good enough despite his team cheating to even get to the World Series in 2017. However, eventually he got his comeuppance. I think the last time I even heard of Josh Reddick he was playing in like some B-league ball club and then subsequently retired.

[@redemptionz5012]

I heard he was a dick with his time with the dodgers

[@spotakissexperience8408]

@@HUF1998because he beat them in the World Series and they are sore losers

[@HUF1998]

I feel any game from the 2018 NLCS could be up there in forgotten classic, I loved that series cuz it was evenly matched and it had so much moments

[@Artsakh758]

That was such a great dodger team, I called it the “redeem team” that struggled throughout the year but then trading for manny at the deadline helped propel them to winning the pennant

[@luisayala7226]

2018 was a roller coaster for the Dodgers year long, I even stopped watching at one point but then I got back into it, it was one of their best years ever but it was crushing to see them lose the World Series again

[@codenamelarry6518]

If it’s a Game 5 in Washington, anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and that includes Game 5 of the 2019 World Series.

[@jamescarlisle4023]

bringing in Kershaw in the 9th on two days rest was the biggest gamble of Dave Roberts’ career. Murphy had absolutely destroyed Kershaw in the previous postseason. Roberts had said before Game 5 there was no way he’d bring in Kershaw. so if it went wrong i think he would’ve been fired. no doubt about it.

[@brendansouter4869]

Sure Washington lost this game, but take a second to appreciate Chris Heisey. Came in to pinch hit, was the active leader in pinch hit homeruns, and smacks a 2 run homerun to put the Nationals down by 1. The most forgotten part of this game

[@BASEBALLfreakFORlife]

For as many failures kershaw has had in the post season, he’s had some great moments. This was probably the most clutch performance

[@Artsakh758]

He went 2-0 in the 2020 WS. Haters always seem to forget that

[@BASEBALLfreakFORlife]

@@Artsakh758 or when he threw 11 innings of one run ball at home during the 17 World Series. But they only remember game 5 of course

[@kevinrios6293]

​@@BASEBALLfreakFORlife plus the Astros knew what pitches were coming too

[@BBar13]

The centerfielders for this game were Trea Turner and Joc Pederson. That’s wild

[@TheAaronetic]

I still remember being on pins and needles watching this one as a Dodger fan. What a roller coaster it was!

[@dc4eternity]

This game was so stressful to watch as a dodger fan, with Murphy being a dodger killer and trea Turner being a menace on the baselines, but having a great kershaw moment made it all worth it

[@the51geese38]

This was a pretty close game, but I feel like the game b4 this one was better. Only 2 more of these left!

[@ot63]

I am now reliving past trauma.

[@Artsakh758]

At least ya’ll got a ring 3 years later

[@MIKEYJAY27]

One of the most underrated games in recent memory. The 7th inning on was absolutely insane.

[@Artsakh758]

I was at this game and I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life. When kershaw walked out of the pen, the Nats fans knew it was over

[@444Tokyo]

I love washington as a Cubs fan, 2019 and 2016 were the teams of destiny for us

[@KingsREIGN77]

Still remember watching this live with my dad. When Heisy hit that bomb I thought we were screwed. Also that ruiz trade was still bitter in Dodger fan mouths cause AJ Ellis was a fan favorite but he definitely made up for it with his heroics in this game

[@joeharder6920]

The craziest part of this game is seeing Anthony Rendon playing

[@Goodyboy88]

Game 6 2002 World Series!!!

[@domonicdecoco2410]

Seeing Harper in a Nats uniform feels so foreign despite it not even being that long ago. He was a botched rain delay away from winning 2 mvp’s in that uniform.

[@BloodySox_18]

Could u do the 2018 ALCS BOS vs HOU game 4

[@Artsakh758]

When joc tied the game the nats fans in my box told me to sit down and be quiet 😂😂

[@vincentvega9747]

I rember i was finLly happy we got over the hump on this one

[@Blaxk_tl]

Crazy Daniel Murphy held the on base record before ketel 1:17

[@SurgingSpecs]

2015 Daniel Murphy was special

[@lannce516]

Andrew Toles in the dugout 🥲

Man kersh is so nice

2014 AL Wild Card please :)

2022 NLCS Game 4 please

[@SukunaIsHim]

Here are some suggestions 2013 World Series game 3,2019 nlds game 4 and 2015 Alds game 4

[@ArrowheadPride4Ever]

Nationals are a pretty sad organization. They got their 1 chip though and as a result are stuck with fat Davey Martinez and his untucked uniforms until he feels like leaving

[@kevinguzman5587]

Fr forgotten because it didn’t lead to anything

[@chriscarlson516]

Why is this game a “classic”? Because it was an elimination game? It wasn’t particularly interesting. Is this series just “recent playoff games”?

[@hmuhmunkunkuapua]

joc pederson has hit many clutch postseason homeruns.
