Transcript

00:00So the start of the game delayed by about an hour and a half, but now it's the Pittsburgh

00:09Pirates against the New York Yankees in the final game of the regular season.

00:13Aaron Judge was scratched from the lineup, Soto gets the day off, probably will not be

00:18in there no matter what.

00:19Schmidt comes in at 5 and 5 with a 2.55 ERA.

00:23Well he really has not missed a beat.

00:25Nick Gonzalez will stand in for the Pirates.

00:29Left center, drifting back is Grisham, he's there to make the play.

00:32Brian Reynolds DH'ing today and it hit Brian Reynolds in the leg.

00:37So Reynolds hit by a pitch here with one out in the first inning.

00:40Leo Cruz, hitless in his last 18 at bats.

00:44Caught out a miss off speed.

00:45A great breaking ball.

00:46The knuckle curve there just dives out of the strike zone.

00:50Runner goes, pitch caught out.

00:52No runs, no hits.

00:53Ah, the end of the half.

00:55Well the Yankees come to bat in the home half of the first inning against Pirates left hander

00:59Bailey Falter.

01:00So Glaber-Torres will dig in, driven into right center field, that is a base hit, and

01:06it goes all the way to the wall, and Glaber-Torres with a double.

01:11Here is Trent Grisham, he's at 183, eight homers.

01:15Swung on and in in the air, to right center it is high, it is far, and it's gone.

01:21This is a two run blast by Trent Grisham.

01:26Trent, here to turn Trent, and the Yankees take a two nothing lead.

01:31Must be the two hole.

01:32You know, you step in for Aaron Judge, you just go deep.

01:35Now here's the payoff to Jason.

01:37Dominguez out to deep right field, and York right up against the wall will make the catch.

01:41And there's the first out.

01:43Here's John Birdie.

01:44Swinging the ground ball toward third.

01:46Triolo will go on to second for one, relay, Birdie is out, and it's a double play.

01:51Turned by the Pirates, and we're through an inning from New York.

01:54We start the second inning, you lead two nothing.

01:56Pitch cut on and missed on a breaking ball.

01:59So Triolo strikes out, and there's one out.

02:02Third strikeout for Schmidt.

02:03Taking ball four, and runner was going anyway, so first and second on the two walks with

02:09one out, and that'll bring up Billy Cook.

02:12Pitch, a high pop off the bat of Cook in the infield.

02:16Infield fly roll called, Glaber makes the catch anyway.

02:19Only over Pogaro.

02:20Two on and two out.

02:23Popped up shallow left field, who's going to get it?

02:25It's going to be Dominguez for the final out.

02:28No runs, no hits, no errors, and two men left on base.

02:32To the third, the Yankees have a two nothing lead, and he struck them out swinging.

02:37Well the knuckle curve seems to be in vogue today.

02:40This ball actually kind of hung a little bit.

02:42Schmidt has really worked on using that cutter, the slider, the knuckle curve.

02:46So two hit batters, and three walks by Schmidt.

02:51First and second, one out here in the third.

02:53I'm sure it's not ideal conditions for Clark Schmidt.

02:57Somebody that really wants to throw a lot of breaking balls when it's kind of misty

03:00and rainy.

03:01You see him wiping his jersey a lot, trying to keep those fingers dry.

03:05I think Aaron Boone's saying, listen, can we fix that mound, because obviously he's

03:10not getting good footing, he's a little bit tentative coming down the mound.

03:15And off the glove of the first baseman, Ben Rice.

03:19The Pirates have the bases loaded.

03:21Again, on a wet infield, you move slow as a hitter, but the ball skips off the grass.

03:27This ball just laced the other way.

03:30Palacios batting with the bases loaded.

03:32One out, Pirates trail two nothing here in the third.

03:34Palacios hits this to right base, hit and more.

03:38Here come the Pirates.

03:39Gonzalez is in.

03:41Cruz is in.

03:43It's a two run double for Joshua Palacios.

03:46Brooklyn is in the house, and we are tied at two.

03:49A big hit here, and you heard Schmidt's reaction, screaming at himself, just knowing that he

03:54cannot locate that spinning fastball.

03:57The Pirates have not only tied it, but they have second and third with one man out.

04:01Swing, fly ball, deep center, Grisham back a few steps.

04:05He'll make the catch and concede the run.

04:06Sacrifice fly for Triolo, and the Pirates claim their first lead.

04:10It's three to two here in the third.

04:11Schmidt really frustrated with that.

04:13Strike three, York down looking.

04:16Got him on the fastball.

04:17But the Pirates take the lead.

04:19We go to the bottom of the third.

04:20Trevino at third, and Torres at second with his second straight double of the day.

04:25Center field to Trent Grisham, steps to the plate.

04:28Hit shortly, a base hit.

04:29Trevino scores.

04:30The game is tied at three.

04:32Well, here is Giancarlo.

04:34The game tied at three, first and third, no one out.

04:37Here's a one to one.

04:38Stanton wraps it on the ground.

04:39The third diving stop.

04:40Peguero from his knees, throws his second for one.

04:42Relay offline, but Cook with the tag.

04:44It's a double play.

04:46And the Yankees now lead four to three.

04:48Nicely started by Leover.

04:50Peguero, that hot shot by Stanton.

04:52Yeah, beautiful play by Peguero right there.

04:55Now, as we go to the fourth inning, it'll be eight, nine, and one for the Pirates.

04:59Swing and a ground ball right to short.

05:00Should be two, not a second for one.

05:02Relay, two, a double play.

05:04Gonzalez slipped about a third of the way to first base.

05:08He was on his hands and knees, trying to get up by the time he was thrown out.

05:12And that just shows you the condition of the field at this stage.

05:16Eric Shelton, the manager of the Pirates, talked with the umpires.

05:21And then shortly thereafter that, Aaron Boone did as well.

05:24You know, because you get concerned when you saw Nick Gonzalez spin his wheels and fall face first

05:29as he was running to first base to try to beat out a double play.

05:32Well, that is our esteemed leader, president of production and programming, John J. Filipelli.

05:38He joined the Bleacher Creatures.

05:40They've been inviting him out there for years.

05:42He finally decided to go.

05:44And it's low ball four, so Reynolds is off.

05:47Looks like that's going to be it for Clark Schmidt.

05:49So Mark Leiter Jr. makes his way in with one on and nobody out in the fifth.

05:53Cruz wants to take care of business here.

05:54Doesn't want to go into the offseason on a hit list string, the longest of the season, 0 for 19.

05:59And he walked him.

06:00That is the fifth walk by Yankees pitching today.

06:02That puts two on for the Pirates with nobody out.

06:05And Joey Bart's coming up.

06:06And a line drive down the line in left field for Bart.

06:09He's going to pick up another RBI.

06:11Joey Bart doubles into the left field corner to bring home Brian Reynolds.

06:16And we're tied up.

06:17Pittsburgh has second and third and no one out.

06:19A great chance to break the tie.

06:21What an inning.

06:22So there's the third walk of the inning.

06:24The two outs have been strikeouts.

06:26These are nothing innings right now,

06:29but Mark Leiter Jr. is auditioning right now whether he's going to be in the playoffs.

06:33A swing and a miss.

06:34Got him on the splitter.

06:35And the bases are left loaded.

06:37They do score one.

06:38The tie, the score.

06:39We're halfway through.

06:40Here's Jose Trevino to dig in.

06:43The go-ahead runs at second base with one out, Volpe.

06:46Yankees need a base hit.

06:47Runner breaking for third.

06:49He sure did.

06:51Colin Holderman talking about no panic.

06:53He thought Holderman wasn't paying him any attention.

06:55He didn't pay him any attention right there.

06:57Holderman may have set him up.

06:59Oh, two.

07:00Swung on and missed.

07:01And Holderman is out of the inning.

07:02We'll go to the eighth.

07:03Still tied at four.

07:04New York coming to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning.

07:07Pirates and Yankees tied at four in the season finale for the Pirates.

07:10It's Majinski coming in.

07:12And it's the seventh walk by the Pirates pitchers today.

07:16Bases are loaded.

07:17He's walked back-to-back hitters.

07:19After strikeout, strikeout, hit batsmen walk, walk.

07:22Now here is Verdugo with the bases loaded.

07:24Wow, what a pick-me-up this would be for Alex Verdugo.

07:27Hit sharply through for a base hit.

07:29Two-run score.

07:31It's a big two-run single for Alex Verdugo.

07:35And the Yankees lead 6-4.

07:38You know what?

07:39I can't be happier for Alex Verdugo to end his season with a hit like that.

07:42We go to the ninth inning, and Clay Holmes will come on and try to close it out.

07:46And the Yankees are one out away from closing their season with a win.

07:50Swing and a miss.

07:51And that will do it.

07:53The Yankees win 6-4.

07:55And they are on their way to October baseball with a 94-68 record.

08:02It's been a wild season.
