Madison Bumgarner's epic World Series finish deserves a deep rewind | 2014 Giants-Royals Game 7

Madison Bumgarner doesn't end up pitching the last out of Game 7 without Derek Jeter announcing his retirement. That may sound like nonsense to you, but trust us, there's a connection here and it deserves your RE2PECT.

Ahhh these old giants videos never get old 🥰

[fighttheclock]

3 rings by age 25 in baseball is actually ridiculous lmao

[Tabooza]

Mad Bum didn't just dominate the World Series he did it as soon as the first pitch was thrown in the Wild Card. Madison embodied the legends of old and cemented his name in the history books to go along with all the other greats, that post season. He shut down every team that he faced. That Giants post season run for him was one of the greatest a pitcher has ever done. He finished the series allowing just one run over 21 innings, thats a 0.43 ERA the lowest in a single World Series behind Sandy Koufax. Bumgarner owns a 0.25 career ERA through 36 innings in the World Series, making him the all-time leader among all pitchers who have thrown 25 or more innings. Bumgarner set the all-time mark for innings pitched in a single postseason, with his 52.2 surpassing Curt Schilling's 48.1 from 2001. If that is not greatness I do not know what is

That has to be the worst feeling to end the World Series on. A popfly in foul territory. You can’t run, you can’t do anything. The only thing you can do is to watch your demise

That double play will forever be legendary

[superdog]

As a giants fan, this is maybe the best title to see on a video

[nickmontalbano]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the dude that shows up at every World Series behind the home plate in full Marlins gear.

[SuperNintendawg]

The panik-crawford double play doesn't get enough appreciation. So clutch. Also, if he didn't slide into first, he would have been safe. Dumb move.

As a lifelong Giants fan I still get choked up watching this. I will never forget watching this moment as long as I live.

[Ghostreader]

KC fan here, Bumgarner has all my respect. Winning the next year helps ease the pain.

I will NEVER FORGET THIS WORLD SERIES!! Bum was incredible. That Panik play was incredible. What an insane postseason it was for the Giants

[KidFresh]

As a lifelong SF Giants fan, I remember pacing outside my house in the backyard, smoking like a chimney for the last out of this game. Never been more nervous watching a sports contest. 2001 vs. the Angels taught me it's never over till it's over. After the Giants kicked that ball around CF, I just couldn't watch anymore. My wife told me when they had won and I could come in, where we celebrated together and drank whisky and champagne. 

The Giants will probably never win another World Series in my lifetime, and I'm fine with that. I got my share. Bumgarner is a legend. P.S. If the Royals tried to send that runner home; no doubt in my mind Crawford would've thrown him out by 10 feet. Crawford & Posey are two of the most clutch defensive players in MLB history. P.S. I'm really glad the Royals won the championship the following year. Kansas City baseball fans deserved it.

Derek Jeter trading Christian Yelich to the Brewers deserves a deep rewind.

“Having to play game 7 on the road is actually an advantage” is a helluva take

[Brownie]

MadBum was a monster that series. Knew KC was done when they put him in. I think his domination in that series led to what we see now in the postseason, with starters coming out of the bullpen

"And Derek Jeter would go on to ruin the Miami Marlins"

[wavytuck]

I love how Pablo Sandoval isn’t even that slow, even with his size. I’m honestly impressed with him.

[LinusTan]

Man that was the best time of my life. I was just fresh off the boat and started my international student life in the Bay Area. I played some baseball during my college days in China but never watched any MLB games due to broadcast restrictions at the time. It was a perfect moment for me to start watching the Giants as they were making their historic play off run. The entire dorm stayed together and watched the Game 7. Everyone was cheering and crying and throwing popcorn at each other. It was great. Too bad I didn’t get the chance to go to the parade that coming Friday because of a stupid scheduling problem. Still it was a perfect timing for me to start watching the MLB games.

[odney]

anyone else here after Kershaw choked in the 2019 NLDS?

[damonwatt]

Crawford has a cannon no chance to score
