The 2017 Cleveland Indians, err, 2017 Cleveland Guardians? IDK, anyway, they had a 22 game win streak. It wasn't that long ago, but you may have forgotten! The Cleveland 22 game win streak is an MLB record for the most part. The 1916 Giants technically won 26 without losing, but had a tie in the middle of that streak.
Of course, 22 in a row is better than 20, the modern mark set by the 2002 Oakland Athletics AKA the Moneyball A's. It's a streak that was chronicled in both the bestselling book and 2011 Moneyball movie, starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane. In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I'll be making my pitch for a sequel titled Moneyball 2: 2 Money 2 Ball.
I'll need a Hollywood cast for this movie. Who will play Mike Chernoff? Terry Francona? Jose Ramirez? Francisco Lindor? All will be answered as I deftly form the plot of my Moneyball sequel all while analyzing the MLB record win streak. The hardest part is figuring out how to outdo the Chris Pratt Scott Hatteberg casting.

You have to admire Chris Pratt for his acting range. First Mario, now Fransisco Lindor. True Hollywood legend.
Very impressive stuff.
The only setback is me that he may not be a switch hitter

Nice pfp
You forgot another commonality that was crucial to these streaks. Both Cleveland and Oakland did not start Peña at first base
HES AN ALLSTAR DAVE
@@jadqn_ rookie of the year!
Also, anybody but Magnante first out of the pen.
It’s a cruel irony that both teams ended up losing in the ALDS. Really goes to show that the postseason is an entirely different beast.
It is. I often think about how the 2001 Mariners lost the ALCS in 5 games.
In both seasons, the team that beat the protagonist lost in the ALCS. While the AL World Series winner beat an NL West powerhouse.
@@shoukatsukai let’s be real astros World Series that year didn’t count
@@philleotardo5829 then who won the world series that year
@@FoolishBaseball And still the last time the Mariners ever made the playoffs. Might be the longest postseason drought in all of sports.
Fun fact: Trevor Bauer was the starter in Cleveland's 23rd game that they lost. He was also the starter for UCLA's 23rd game after a 22 game win streak in 2010.
Baseball is just like that sometimes.
Classic Bauer
dont let him out there on big streaks
I’m a blue collar worker, been a tribe fan my whole life. I got tickets right behind home plate because of a work lottery. My buddy and I went to the 23rd game. They lost, told myself I’d never go to another game. The 2017 tribe is one of the best teams ever assembled
Was at that game when they ended the streak. Fans were great.
other fun fact: trevor bauer was not the starter in any dodger game this year and we dont rly want him back !
Scott Hatterberg will forever be celebrated in A’s History
Don't you mean Chris Pratt?
Chris Pratteberg
He’s so cool
Why? Did he win a ring? No that’s a joke and a joke franchise

Another Foolish Baseball video involving Moneyball is something that I have always wanted. Thank you very much Bailey.
your comments just spawn in with likes it's insane
@@FoolishBaseball it even confuses me sometimes.
@@RetroBaseball I was the 69th like I want money for that
@@joeyhudson5880 how about no, the A's don't have enough money for that
@@giovannieusebi955 💀
This is easily the dumbest and yet also my favorite video on this channel. The “Ties are for soccer” caught me off guard and was an absolutely S tier pun/reference.
Soccer is lame
@@Bozar069 I'm fan of both but I always find it amazing that baseball fans of all people will talk trash about football/soccer
Ties are for Suckers
@@YoyoF37 same, I love both for entirely different reasons, but they're similar in a lot of ways. Fans of both are pretty rare though.
As someone who attended the first and final game of this win streak and watched every game in between, I can attest that this is probably the most magical moment in Indians/Guardians history.
The second most magical moment was finding out Fausto Carmona isn't Fausto Carmona
@@FoolishBaseball more like fausto crapola
Nah the most was raja Davis’s 7th inning homer against the cubs now that was wicked even though we lost
You're right. Being featured in a Foolish Baseball vid is the high watermark for any franchise
*WTF do you mean by "Guardians"?
When Lindor tied the game, and Jay Bruce hit that single to win it, everyone at the bar I was at erupted as if we had just won the World Series. Still one of my all time favorite sports memories as a Cleveland fan. Up there with Kyrie's game winner and Rajai Davis' game 7 home run against the Cubs.
No Eric Wright 100 yard pick six to go up 35-14 against the Giants in 2008 on Monday Night Football? SMH fake fan
Pls don't speak about that homerun. I don't want to wake up in cold sweat because of it anymore 😓
About time anyone outside of Cleveland gave this streak the attention it deserves.
Thank you from Cleveland
Having Kluber, Carrasco, Bauer, Clevinger, and Miller out of the same bullpen was insane. We didn't end up breaking the then 69-year drought, but the excitement of following this team and listening to Hamilton's calls on the radio the whole way through are memories I'll cherish forever.
I think you said it best: someone wins it all every year, but no one has ever done this. At least we have that.
That Francisco Lindor script was incredible. Brought a tear to my eye
RIP Cory Lidle. Lost his life at 34 years old in a plane crash on October 11, 2006 just 4 days after pitching for the Yankees in the ALDS.
Most overlooked player of the 2002 Athletics. Everyone mentions that the A's had three aces, and Lidle wasn't an ace, but he was a good fourth starter. He was worth more than three and a half wins above replacement by either WAR metric. You don't win 100 games if your 4th guy is mediocre. If nothing else, he was certainly more important than anyone featured in the movie or book, but his story wasn't one that you write books or movies about. That doesn't mean he shouldn't at least be recognized as being a key contributor to the team.
This win streak does not get talked about enough. Good thing Moneyball 2: 2 Money 2 Ball will be a hit at the box office.
God this content is so good. The narrative, wordplay, and comedy are masterfully done. Your work represents the difference between really good content and superb content. It appeals to the hardcore fans and engages casuals. Seriously, somebody (like the MLB) should be paying you to write/produce/narrate baseball content for the betterment of the fans and the game itself.
As a 16 year old fan who grew up watching this team, I'm glad I got to grow up watching something special. It's one thing to be a fan of some other team who watched this win streak after it was already historic, but it's another thing to watch it as a fan of the winning team before you even knew what was coming. I was devastated in the 2016/17 losses, but hopefully we can have our chance again soon.
I got to see the Braves win a World Series last year. They were 51-54 at this point in the season. Crazy things can happen.
@@FoolishBaseball This is why I LOVE baseball!!! It’s so hard to predict who will win it all!
@@FoolishBaseball It really was an absolute dream. I can hardly believe it even today.☺️
Lifelong Cleveland fan, and this streak was so much fun to witness. In our restaurant, we had every game playing on the TVs, it was awesome seeing everyone get together and cheer for the team
"because ties are for soccer" what a good line Foolish
soccer is the only sport besides hockey where a 0-0 final score can be an acceptable outcome from a viewing perspective, in every other sport a scoreless game is universally boring as fuck
@@technoturnovers7072 As should be IMO
You know that is a great day when foolish baseball uploads a video ⚾
It's a great day for me too!
It’s always a great day when baseball bits drops
It's good for me too. Always a relief.
Jake Gyllenhaal and J.K. Simmons are fine casting but I think Moneyball 2 would work better as a one man show featuring Bartolo “Substantial Seductive” Colon
I see the vision
Bartolo can be John Analytics
As a former Indians fan and follow spyder lover, this was a ray of light in Cleveland. People were just happier during that time
Few videos put as many consistent smiles throughout on my face as a Foolish Baseball vid. Loved it!
Maybe I’m just in a good mood but I feel like this is the funniest video Bailey has ever made
You know, there needs to be a Moneyball 3 about this year's Baltimore Orioles. I'm still thinking about a title and plot, we'll see what happens after the season.
Im finally able to be proud of being a marylander
It's a shame to have been on the earth for 35 years and never seen my Cleveland baseball team win a World Series. So many good teams and prime opportunities. Hope to one day see my first sports love bring it home.
I guess you can say "at least we have Lebron"
This team was legendary. Brought me so many memories and I’ll never forget this time.
When he said ties are for soccer i laughed so hard
ever since i followed you on twitter i know exactly what’s about to go down
My hints aren't always the most subtle
@@FoolishBaseball and that’s ok
1:46 I like how Bailey put himself in his “Dartboard of hot men”
Thank you for revisiting the Cleveland streak of 2017. I actually missed it.
Thank goodness someone made a video about this! I was at the final 3 games of the streak. 22 was insane!
As a CLE fan, I was fortunate enough to witness the final game of the streak, including the following game that ended it.
Never seen a city so electric over a regular season game.
Absolutely loved the personality shown in this video. Felt like a Foolish Bailey personality showing. Great video great execution
Fun Fact - Cleveland was the team Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) was bought from in the original Moneyball
I'm just imagining JK Simmons playing Terry Francona as J Jonah Jameson.
That works!
This streak was the last time I was a happy sports fan. Thanks for taking me back
Oh my godddddd new Baseball Bits I needed this so bad. Also as a KC fan thank you for doing one on the 2014-2015 Royals
great video! I loved the script graphics you created, definitely one of your funniest videos yet.
Yet again a topic I never expected! Amazing video as always, they always make my day
This is my favorite Bits of all time 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
1:45
The exclusion of Bob Wickman here is as big as the exclusion of the utterance of the fact that Clayton Kershaw attended the same high school and played baseball with Matt Stafford whenever one attends a game of the other
I just finished watching moneyball for the tenth time. This is great!!!
Hopefully you'll be able to watch Moneyball 2 ten times as well
I do admire your upload schedule, Foolish!
Love your channel man, great video!
"With eight homers to just three strikeouts, he became the third hitter since 2010 to have eight or more home runs and three or less strikeouts in any eighteen game stretch since 2010 while mercury was in retrograde on a waxing moon, and DOW Jones gained between 100 and 300 points on a majority of the days."
How could a man get overlooked, with possibly the best baseball name, in MLBb history:
"Raul..... IB-_AÑEZ_ !!!!!"
Never forget the 19 inning marathon for game 20 (21?). This team was so good during the regular season
Thank you baseball dad!
you're welcome baseball nephew
Just realized “Cleveland Baseball Team” has the acronym CBT.
I'm convinced that while this is an impressive feat the reality is that there are so many variables that make up the game that variance plays too large a factor. It's why so many games are played a season compared to other sports. It's why the very best teams of the live ball era have win loss records of somewhere in the low .7 range and why this and the 2002 Oakland run is down to variance swinging wildly in one direction, just like it did this season for the Angels to lose 14 in a row after starting the season with such a high win percentage.
That’s kind of the point, though cleveland did it pretty definitively, allowing 10 runs in 12 stars for your starters is a great way to win ball games. But it is definitely luck based, but not luck driven. That’s the way I’d describe it
@@pohorex6834 I don't consider variance and luck the same thing. Luck is a deck of cards being shuffled and there being a 60 percent chance that order has never existed before in history (true stat). Variance implies a multitude of variables. The barometric pressure, relative humidity, how well the bats have adapted to the new environment after being flown in, were the balls mudded properly, the the pitcher apply too much sticky stuff this at bat, the environmental factors are so multitudinous and mind numbing before you ever get the the players themselves.
@@joshuapatrick682 When I consider luck to be a part of the game, I am talking about how your entire team could in theory get 45 hits in a single game and still not score a run. The fact that that is possible is luck. It isn’t that extreme of course, but that’s still a possibility that exists.
What a good video, man. I wish all CZcams videos possessed the same quality and thoughtfulness. Bravo!
it's a great day anytime baseball bits drops
And my day just got a lot better with this upload. Thanks foolish!
Another great baseball bits thanks for the content
thank you!
I remember as soon as Lindor hit that ball Reddit flooded with posts about how the streak was over. Incredible. Then I Rememeber the cheers of Bruuuuuuuuce
Just got COVID. Thank you for making my day a little bit better Foolish!
Yan Gomes is quickly becoming a channel legend
Thy bits of baseball always bring me such glee
the bits cometh!
YEEEESSSSSSS
BEST DAY IN MY LIFE SINCE THE LAST BIT WAS RELEASE
lul
Your vids always make my day brother. Thanks!
Another thing to mention, the Indians set a franchise record the year before for most wins in a row at 14. So I believe Window Nation had a promotion in 2017 that said if the Indians had a 15 game win streak, you would get your windows for free. That made a lot of people with new windows happy that year.
To THIS day, I still say to myself “SIX SCORELESS INNING IN RELEIF!” Christian Martinez a legend.. 😂
I must say, Mr. Baseball, that was your funniest Baseball Bits yet. It's a shame Cleveland lost in the ALDS, but luckily they have a long history of winning, especially after 1948.
What a start to my day
all downhill from here
Hopefully not
Been waiting all month for another Foolish Baseball video! Less-a Go!!
Thanks Bailey I’ve been depressed for a while man but your videos get my mind off all the bullshit and I’m forever thankful for you
“ :o Josh Gad!”
Why is this channel so funny lmao
tim lecastro video was so perfect i never thought it could be topped, but here it is. the best baseball bits out there
"why?...because ties are for soccer"
-Foolish
That Lindor script is a thing of beauty lmaooo very nice stuff as always
I really love and appreciate your "Ties are for soccer" line. Idk it you came up with it but it's quite clever
You know what, I’m gonna be honest. I don’t even really watch baseball that much. But I have watched every single baseball bits video. So thank you Foolish Bailey.
Found you after listening to the Baseball Tonight Podcast....glad I did!
Keep up the great videos Bailey
thank you!
Dude I love these foolish baseball vids
Keep making these they’re really really good
It really amazes me how this team came to a screeching halt. I believe to finish off the regular season, they went around 35-4, which does include the 22 game win streak. The 2 games in the playoffs, which obviously includes that iconic game 2. They had all the momentum in the world other side. As a Cleveland fan, this still stings. Hopefully we’ll make another deep playoff run, and maybe even win the World Series.
one of the funniest bits yet
I don't know if it's because it was a video about my team but this may have been your funniest video yet. good job by you Bailey!
As a longtime Cleveland Baseball Indinapguardispiders fan, this made my day.
Finally, the Greg Maddux Baseball Bits we've been waiting for.
YAY MORE BASEBALL BITS
let's goooo
Foolish Bailey would never start his video with an ad
nobody would be dumb enough to advertise with Foolish Bailey in the first place
@@FoolishBaseball yeah he’s unhinged
Yan Gomes mentioned.
Great video.
Greetings from all baseball fans from Brazil.
this could be your best video Bailey
One thing that's kind of hinted at when Beane meets with Shapiro in Cleveland is that they were already doing moneyball type stuff in Cleveland before "moneyball".
President of baseball ops Antonetti started in '99 as an assistant under AGM Shapiro and Chernoff joined the org in 2003 after working closely with Shapiro in his internship
I so wish Cleveland had won the World Series during their peak. Maybe it’s still to come…
Some of the best comedy in a baseball bits yet. Easily A tier, on the verge of S.
I genuinely had no idea cleveland held the record, thanks for enlightening me with this video.
Goddamned Nap Lajoie, always racking up the counting stats when it's easy, but all of a sudden a "sore hammy" when there's 22 games to be won. Pshaw
This video is quite difficult/painfil to watch from about the 5:20 mark forward, for I happen to be a lifelong diehard KC Royals fan--I know, diehard Royals fans are rare and hard to come by nowadays, HOWEVER, I was born in Kansas City, Missouri, nearly 36 years ago, and have lived within 30 miles of KCMO every year since. And it just happens that, being born in the first week of November 1986, it was almost exactly 1 year after the Royals had just won their first World Series in 1985. And for anyone who knows baseball, and in particular, Royals baseball, that 1985 WS victory also marked the last time we would even reach the playoffs for nearly 30 years, when in 2014, we'd surprisingly win the wild card and to make our first playoffs in 29 years, then surprise the world even more by sweeping our way into the World Series without losing a single Playoff game before heartbreakingly losing to the SF Giants in 7 games.
Of course we'd go on to make our second playoffs in a row the next season, have a slightly bumpier journey to the WS but make it there nonetheless, then go on to smoke 🚬 the NY Mets 4 games to 1, thus exactly 30 years after their previous WS title in 1985, Royals won the 2015 WS and would mark their 2nd franchise WS Banner and also their last WS banner and also the last time seeing the playoffs.
THANKS to the Indians in 2017, for what it doesn't mention in this video, but we were only 4.5 games back of Cleveland nearing the end of August before we eventually collapsed and, as we see in this video, Cleveland flourished with the longest winning streak in baseball history.
And since that 2017 season, my Royals haven't even sniffed the playoffs, havent had a .500 season, and have been essentially out of the playoff hunt by May each of those seasons.
Can’t describe the joy when I see foolish baseball posted a video.
New Foolish Baseball videos are muscle memory clicks
I heckin love Foolish Baseball
The best day is any day that Foolish Baseball posts a video
“John. My name is John Analytics.”😂😂
Cleveland: The 2017 World Series is ours
Greg Bird: Ratio
(Yes I know he wasn't the key contributor in the ALDS but his home run is the thing I remember most from that series)
Such a great video!
Every time a baseball bits episode comes out, I have to check that I didn't miss one.
