Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS. Boston was locked in a tie with the Angles in the bottom of the ninth inning with Angels.
K-Rod was one of the game’s best closers at the time. He was an All-Star that season after finishing fourth on the Cy Young ballot the previous year. Manny Ramirez was 1-for-8 with four strikeouts in his career against K-Rod entering this game.
Over time, Manny caught on to how this pitcher was attacking him. Knowing how Rodriguez would approach him allowed Ramirez to craft his own plan.
There was a runner on second with one out when K-Rod relieved Justin Speier in the ninth inning of Game 2. Rodriguez quickly put away Kevin Youkilis by sending him down swinging and then intentionally walked Ortiz to get to Ramirez.
By the time Manny stepped to the plate he had already determined what he was looking for. It came on a 1-0 count, a fastball that Rodriguez tried to sneak inside. Ramirez turned on the pitch and crushed a towering shot over the Green Monster for a walk-off home run.
