"This won't be the last time we see this game on this list, as there was actually a bigger hit (according to WPA) earlier on in the game that set the table for Drake Baldwin to eventually come through with a walk-off single. It's pretty simple: He came through with the game on the line and sent everybody at the ballpark in Cobb County happy. Pretty simple but still very exciting!"
"This was part of a huge nine-run fourth inning at Citi Field for the Braves, which turned the game completely on its head over the course of a few minutes. This was the biggest bop of the night, as Money Mike delivered a grand deposit in order to break the game open and give us all the sweet, sweet sound of New York baseball fans booing their own team. Delicious."
