Transcript
00:00That was first team forty two
00:04wasn't available to second for
00:07one and that's all they'll get
00:08as it slipped out of Guillaume's
00:10hand.
00:12Weakley Orlando is going to have
00:14to hurry.
00:15Oh gosh that's sensational.
00:18He barehanded it and in all one
00:21motion throws on one two.
00:25R.C. has to go a long way.
00:28Did he get him.
00:29Ho ho ho.
00:31Put that on the highlight reel.
00:33Orlando R.C. just continues to
00:36dominate that shortstop position.
00:39Quite honestly I thought he had no
00:40chance.
00:40Got a long way to go.
00:41He still has to slide catch spin
00:43throw all in one smooth motion.
00:45Incredible.
00:46And the throw on the money and a
00:47good job by Matt Olsen as he
00:48continues to be an excellent
00:49defensive first baseman and
00:50helping out these infielders.
00:54Ground ball Orlando gets to it.
00:56Somehow flips it to Ozzie.
00:59Amazing that the Braves got one out
01:01of that.
01:02Thanks to Orlando.
01:03Orlando R.C.
01:04Showing off that great range we have
01:06seen it all season long.
01:07Tremendous defense here.
01:09That is a tough toss with the glove
01:11backhanded while he was sliding.
01:14Watch this right here.
01:15For that to even be accurate it's
01:16kind of a one hopper there but the
01:18fact that he was even on the money and
01:19there was any chance at all that we're
01:20going to turn to pretty amazing.
01:22Since then a double and a single and the
01:24three two whacked through to left side
01:26taken by RC at the second they get one
01:28there RC went into shallow left field
01:30got leather on it did an amazing job
01:32just to stop it and then fire over to
01:34second base to get the out of Cody
01:35Bellinger but a run will score and it's
01:37now two nothing Cubs on the fielder's
01:39choice by Morrell.
01:39Boy oh boy another great play by RC
01:42not just to get an out but the
01:45situation not having any outs yet could
01:48easily have been another base hit.
01:49Thank you Joe.
01:50Jesse Chavez goes to work and a
01:53comebacker bounces off his mitts
01:54sliding to it RC up on his feet
01:57spins around and makes the play.
01:59Well you look at where he made that
02:01play you might think what was he doing
02:02over there out of his jurisdiction to
02:05the right side of the infield but
02:06that's how good of a read Orlando had
02:08hit on it going to his left sliding
02:10to it pop it up spinning around
02:12making the play and it'll go one
02:13six three is it got Jesse's glove
02:16ground ball to short the runner
02:18was going out at second double play.
02:21It was close but even though Kim
02:24took off Orlando RC is still gets
02:27two out of it.
02:27I think he got him just before that
02:29foot came on and I got a
02:31challenge with watch this great
02:35job knowing you have plenty of
02:36time.
02:36Now Dan Bolino was right there
02:38here on the call ground ball RC
02:42arranging over spinning and
02:44throwing it all said with a great
02:46scoop to complete the play.
02:51I see a great diving stop and he
02:53completes the play good stretch by
02:56Matt Olsen what a wonderful
02:58effort there and there are two
03:00away in the bottom of the fifth.
03:01He really has been amazing all
03:02season long and showing up at
03:04highlight reels this one here
03:05pretty special as he ranges to his
03:07left to catch the slide the spin
03:09and throw.
03:09We've talked about this many times
03:11with him and a really good stretch
03:12on the back end there by Matt
03:14Olsen but that is not an easy
03:15play that is really special from
03:17Orlando RC and all stars season
03:19ago was Diaz bouncer towards
03:23Arcea he's got it what an effort by
03:30Orlando Arcea and the brain starts a
03:32homestand with a W.
03:34Wow what a play not only that this
03:38is where that internal clock look he
03:40knows right here I got no chance at
03:41a second I got to get rid of this
03:43ball Diaz good speed beautiful
03:45play Ozzie or rather Orlando to
03:49Ozzie they got it.
03:52Oh my how did they do that.
03:54Just a great play on both ends
03:56great pick by Orlando body going
03:59in the opposite direction only had
04:00one play the do or die play flip
04:02to Ozzie it was a little offline
04:04but Ozzie showed his athletic
04:06ability there was able to catch
04:07it barehanded and make the tag
04:10with his glove great play on this
04:13one two from Lopez bounces one
04:14left side long run for Arcea goes
04:16to second in time Orlando Arcea
04:20with a nice play to get the lead
04:22runner Joe people always ask why
04:25is it so hard to hit in the big
04:26leagues this is a hit everywhere
04:28except for in the major leagues
04:30Arcea goes so far to his right
04:32off balance perfect throw all
04:33these times it becomes a first
04:35baseman stretches and that's the
04:37first out.
04:40left side Riley got his glove to
04:43it and then it goes to Arcea and
04:46you can score it five six three to
04:49get Hoskins it smiles on around
04:52that Braves hit field that's
04:54pretty good look at that little
04:55high five gotta love the old five
04:57six three two not only that
04:59because of Orlando's arm they got
05:01him by six steps cue ball shot to
05:05urshela oh my what a tremendous
05:09turn that's second base by that
05:13man Orlando Arcea
05:19now it came off the end of the
05:20back Orlando
05:23Yes, Matt reached up to grab it both ends of that play spectacular and there will be no challenging this because the Washington Nationals lost their challenge so regardless of what you think about the call we'll find out this is incredible barehanded play look how they grab that ball with his pinky. Are you kidding me? Look at this. Like you're throwing a split finger over there and he's able to obviously move it while he's getting ready to throw it.
05:47That sounded like a broken back Orlando. I see all in one motion. That was tremendous. Well, I did you probably you are not going to like Orlando Garcia three times in the series a bare hand a great play earlier. And how about this play? Tremendous range to the left behind him. Let's slide and let's. Oh, no big deal.
06:10Another one broken back. Slow roll.
06:17Play by Orlando Arcea. That's knowing the league right there. Any other catcher a shortstop will cap will get that with the glove. But because it's JT Romuto and one of the fastest and the fastest in the last few years behind the plate getting down the line when it comes to sprint speed 31 and 10 in August, September and October in his career.
06:40First pitch ground ball Orlando gets to it. But it works really nice play by the Braves shortstop to begin the series kind of figured there. I don't know if Springer got out of the box slow right here because he had to go down in the double clutch. You know Springer's got great speed but Orlando still able to throw him out by two lengths.
07:01Line drive Orlando climbs the ladder takes it away from Schneider.
07:10It's going to be our Zaxby saucy play Jeffrey. I like that. That ball was hit.
07:16Orlando perfect spot. Perfect time.
07:22And then have some seats, young man.
07:32Bouncer to short.
07:33Arcea to second for one and they turn two.
07:38Six, four, three, very nicely done by Williams on the turn.
07:47Another changeup. Barehanded Orlando Arcea. Spectacular to get Fortes at first.
07:55Yeah, put a star next to that one. This is a great play here by Orlando.
07:58He doesn't want to feel this barehanded. He knows it becomes a do or die play even with Fortes running and he makes it.
08:05If he goes to the glove by the time he has the exchange, he is probably going to run out of time.
08:09That is incredible.
08:10So fluid, so smooth.
08:15There's a liner and Schwanenbeck got a piece of it.
08:18Oh, that's tremendous.
08:22Score at 1-6-3.
08:24That's about as good of a 1-6-3 as you've ever seen.
08:27The bare hand by Orlando and the throw on the money, the stretch, all of it.
08:31Go ahead.
