00:00:00I could do a thousand G
00:00:02Lonely free direction
00:00:10Land of the free
00:00:14And the home of the brave
00:00:22Festivities wrapping up
00:00:30The crowd is electric
00:00:31And we'll be back to get it going
00:00:33Right after this
00:00:34Live from historic Fenway Park in Boston
00:00:49MLB The Show brings you
00:00:51The American League Division Series
00:00:53It's the Oakland Athletics
00:00:55And the Boston Red Sox
00:00:56John Chambi alongside Chris Singleton
00:01:03A lot going on in this series
00:01:06As we get ready for Game 3, Siggy
00:01:08Man, it's been fun so far, Boog
00:01:10That's for sure
00:01:11After splitting the first two
00:01:12Game 3 takes on even more meaning than usual
00:01:16You don't want to be the team
00:01:17That drops this one
00:01:18And then be faced with
00:01:19Having to win two games in a row
00:01:21In order to take the series
00:01:22That's tough
00:01:23And the pressure on the starting pitchers
00:01:25Is big in this one
00:01:26Each of them is being counted on
00:01:28To come through with a quality performance
00:01:30Hoping to save some of that bullpen
00:01:32For really critical games coming up
00:01:34All right, we'll be back to get this one started
00:01:36Right after this
00:01:37Just about ready to roll here
00:01:49Our starting pitcher in this one
00:01:51Carl Mays
00:01:53Well, the starting pitchers go
00:01:55He's not real tall
00:01:56So one of the keys for him
00:01:57Is having good deception
00:01:58By being able to change speeds
00:02:00Add and subtract velocity on his pitches
00:02:02You know, the ball doesn't come from a high angle
00:02:04So it can be a little flatter in the zone
00:02:06So he's got to be able to work the corners
00:02:07Work all the quadrants
00:02:09But also
00:02:10Maybe pause a little bit
00:02:12Hesit late
00:02:12And make that hitter inconsistent
00:02:14In terms of getting the front foot down
00:02:16Ricky Henderson
00:02:19Leading off here
00:02:20As he looks at that one
00:02:21Outside the zone
00:02:22First pitch
00:02:277-0-7
00:02:28And a 1-0
00:02:31Dads
00:02:35And he can't hang on
00:02:37And he beats it
00:02:39He's safe
00:02:39Digging in for Oakland
00:03:02Eddie Collins
00:03:03First pitch
00:03:08Doesn't find the zone
00:03:09Good speed on the base pass
00:03:11He handles the bat
00:03:12Very well
00:03:13I wouldn't be surprised
00:03:15If the skipper
00:03:15Puts on some type of hit and run
00:03:17Or a run and hit
00:03:18The 1-0
00:03:21This is one of those situations
00:03:25Defensively
00:03:26Where you can't try to do too much
00:03:28You've got to make sure
00:03:29That you feel the ball cleanly
00:03:30And get one out first
00:03:32It's going to be tough
00:03:33To get two
00:03:33With this kind of speed
00:03:34In the batter's box
00:03:35Check on the runner
00:03:40And he's back in standing
00:03:42And the pitch
00:03:51Cold night like tonight
00:03:54Last thing you want to do
00:03:55As a hitter
00:03:56Is get jammed
00:03:57Or even off the end
00:03:58Trying to find that sweet spot
00:04:00On the bat
00:04:00Tell you what
00:04:01You're going to be trying
00:04:02To catch things out front
00:04:03So off speed pitches
00:04:04May be a good compliment
00:04:05To that fastball
00:04:06That one is blasted
00:04:08Left field
00:04:09Towards the monster
00:04:10Bangs off the wall
00:04:12Throw comes in
00:04:13Runner stopped
00:04:14Second and third
00:04:15Nobody out
00:04:16Back to back
00:04:17Base hits
00:04:18Just about
00:04:19Got it out of here
00:04:20Down the line
00:04:21To left
00:04:22So
00:04:22I'm sure he wishes
00:04:23He could have put a little
00:04:24More behind it
00:04:25But he's got to feel good
00:04:27About that missile
00:04:27Off the wall
00:04:28Digging in
00:04:35Jimmy Fox
00:04:36And first offering
00:04:42Is fouled off
00:04:43The pitch
00:05:10He swings
00:05:21And drives one out
00:05:22To deep left field
00:05:23The run comes in
00:05:28From second
00:05:28It's two nothing
00:05:29Now the tag at second
00:05:31And he's out
00:05:32Trying for two
00:05:33And now
00:05:35Reggie Jackson
00:05:36Big time power
00:05:37In there
00:05:40And it's 0-1
00:05:41Still only one out
00:05:51Here in the inning
00:05:52Next one misses
00:05:58One and one
00:05:59Jackson
00:06:09Checks his swing
00:06:10Appeal to third
00:06:11No swing
00:06:12And a 2-1
00:06:16On the way
00:06:17Fought off
00:06:20Foul
00:06:21Comes a 2-2
00:06:30Now fly ball
00:06:35To right center
00:06:36Betts is on the move
00:06:37Puts the squeeze
00:06:40On that one
00:06:41And there's two down
00:06:42And let's take a look
00:06:47At the lineup
00:06:49Alright Siggy
00:06:50How about all the talent
00:06:51In this lineup
00:06:52They're deep
00:06:53First and foremost
00:06:54But the way that they
00:06:55Can manipulate their
00:06:56Personnel for matchups
00:06:57And everything else
00:06:58It's very intelligent
00:07:01The way that they
00:07:02Use their team
00:07:02And I think it
00:07:03Creates a little bit
00:07:04Of uncertainty
00:07:06For opposing teams
00:07:07Especially in a big game
00:07:08Big series
00:07:09Mark McGuire
00:07:10In the box here
00:07:11Let's that one
00:07:12Go for a ball
00:07:13So now one and two
00:07:42Bringing the cheese
00:07:43On that one
00:07:44Here's a one-two
00:07:56Stays alive
00:08:00Look out
00:08:03That ball was smoked
00:08:04Man I am so relieved
00:08:06That they have this
00:08:06Netting down the lines
00:08:08Just ensures safety
00:08:09For the fans
00:08:10Last thing as a player
00:08:11You want to look up
00:08:11And see a fan get hit
00:08:12Next pitch misses
00:08:14Ball two
00:08:15And a foul ball
00:08:26He stays alive
00:08:27The next offering
00:08:40Misses
00:08:40Ball three
00:08:41Wow this guy's
00:08:42Really battling up there
00:08:44As if
00:08:44His run is the
00:08:46Game winning run
00:08:47I love
00:08:48His tenacity
00:08:49In plenty of time
00:08:56To first
00:08:57And that is that
00:08:58Bottom half
00:09:00Of inning number one
00:09:01Coming up
00:09:02It's the A's two
00:09:03And the Red Sox
00:09:04Coming up
00:09:05Back in Boston
00:09:15Back in Boston
00:09:15And starting in this one
00:09:17Vita Blue
00:09:18Yeah and when he's on
00:09:20He's a real treat to watch
00:09:21I've become a fan myself
00:09:22You know he often takes
00:09:23The pressure off of his hitters
00:09:25To score a lot of runs
00:09:26But they have to be careful
00:09:27To not just go into a slumber
00:09:29They've got to put up some runs
00:09:30Make it a little bit easier
00:09:31For this guy
00:09:32So he doesn't have to battle
00:09:33Every time that he's out there
00:09:34No one should be surprised though
00:09:36If he settles in
00:09:37And takes control of the game
00:09:38And throws a shutout
00:09:39The pitch
00:09:40And he drops it down
00:09:44The third baseline
00:09:44And he picks it up
00:09:46And he'll put it in his pocket
00:09:47Next offering misses
00:10:00And it's one and one
00:10:01Well after putting up
00:10:02A nice inning on offense
00:10:03Got some runs across
00:10:04This is where you look
00:10:05For the starter
00:10:06To go out there
00:10:07Have a shutdown inning
00:10:08Don't give that other team
00:10:10Any hope
00:10:10You just hope
00:10:11They can get through this inning
00:10:12Get the bats back up there
00:10:13While they're hot
00:10:14One two now
00:10:15Upstairs
00:10:19The two-two
00:10:19Swing and a miss
00:10:28Struck him out
00:10:29And one away
00:10:30Very frustrating right there
00:10:32As a speedy potential base runner
00:10:35When with two strikes
00:10:36You just struggle to put the ball in play
00:10:38You don't even have to get a hit at that point
00:10:40You can help your team
00:10:41Just by reaching on an error
00:10:43But some way
00:10:44You've got to find a way
00:10:45To shorten up the swing
00:10:46And put the ball in play next time
00:10:47Here's a speed threat
00:10:49Jimmy Collins
00:10:50This guy is one of the best athletes in the sport
00:10:54And swings and fouls one off
00:10:56And he deals
00:11:09Swing and a miss
00:11:13And that is strike two
00:11:15Now one missed
00:11:22One down base is empty
00:11:26Swings through that one
00:11:29It's a strikeout
00:11:30Back-to-back strikeouts
00:11:32Now anytime you can punch out
00:11:35The top two guys in a lineup
00:11:36To start an inning
00:11:37You've got to be feeling pretty good
00:11:39Out there on the mound
00:11:40Because when you think of
00:11:41Just having a distraction
00:11:43Table setters on the base paths
00:11:44And all of a sudden
00:11:45You're dealing with a number three hitter
00:11:47Any distraction
00:11:48Can cause you to serve up a cookie
00:11:50And instead of it being a solo shot
00:11:52It's a two or three run homer
00:11:53All in one now
00:12:03Swing and a miss
00:12:07First two hitters get punched out
00:12:09On strikes
00:12:10Take some notes from the dugout
00:12:12When you get your chance
00:12:13Go up there and hit the ball hard somewhere
00:12:14Swing and a miss
00:12:16That one in the dirt
00:12:17That completes the strikeout
00:12:19Inning over
00:12:19Back here at Fenway
00:12:36As we go to the second
00:12:37New inning getting started
00:12:39Striding to the plate now
00:12:40For Oakland
00:12:41Al Simmons
00:12:42And a pitch
00:12:47There's the strike
00:12:51He needs a quick one, two, three
00:12:53This time around
00:12:54Last inning
00:12:55Threw a lot of pitches
00:12:57Kicks and deals
00:13:08Strike two
00:13:12From a pitcher's perspective
00:13:14That's a beautiful splitter right there
00:13:17As a hitter
00:13:17You don't like it
00:13:18But he's commanded his fastball
00:13:19And out of that same tunnel
00:13:21That splitter comes
00:13:22And the bottom just falls out of it
00:13:24Here comes a pitch
00:13:27Swing and a miss
00:13:32And he struck him out
00:13:34Now one away
00:13:35Just beautiful placement
00:13:37Of the splitter right there
00:13:38Exactly where you want it
00:13:39With two strikes
00:13:40To get that swing and miss
00:13:41And he's worked very hard
00:13:43To be able to command that pitch
00:13:44It's a tough pitch
00:13:45To get a grip on
00:13:46But he's one of the best
00:13:47At throwing it where he wants to
00:13:49Next up for the A's
00:13:51Home run
00:13:51Baker
00:13:52Good contact guy
00:13:53Good defender
00:13:54First off ring
00:13:58Misses the mark
00:13:59And the right hander deals
00:14:12That's in for a strike
00:14:16Man that pitch was dotted
00:14:17So much talent on display
00:14:19When this guy's out there on the hill
00:14:21Joe McDonald
00:14:22Doing the home plate duties here
00:14:23Well Joe's an interesting one
00:14:26I'm always trying to figure out
00:14:28What exactly his zone is
00:14:29Feels like it kind of moves around
00:14:31From game to game
00:14:32Sometimes inning to inning
00:14:33Swing and a high fly ball
00:14:36Out there towards left field
00:14:37Two down
00:14:38Yeah I think that's fair
00:14:40I don't think he's ever
00:14:41Way off with his balls and strikes
00:14:43But yeah
00:14:44I don't think it's easy
00:14:45To define what his zone is
00:14:46Like you said
00:14:47And here's the catcher
00:14:49Number two
00:14:50This is a guy
00:14:51Who is very highly regarded
00:14:53Defensively
00:14:54Fun to watch him
00:14:55Control stuff behind the plate
00:14:57Good game caller
00:14:58Good at framing
00:14:59But it's that big arm
00:15:00That really stands out
00:15:01And that's in there
00:15:03For strike one
00:15:04When you got a catcher
00:15:05Like this guy
00:15:06With a big arm
00:15:07Like that behind the plate
00:15:09It really shuts down
00:15:10The running game
00:15:11The next pitch misses
00:15:13And that is ball one
00:15:15Righty delivers
00:15:22And a count
00:15:25One and two
00:15:26And down on strikes
00:15:39That's out number three
00:15:41A's go quickly
00:15:43And quietly there
00:15:44As they're unable to add
00:15:45To their 2-0 lead
00:15:47Ready to go
00:15:56For the last half
00:15:57Of the inning
00:15:57Joe stepping in
00:15:58For Boston
00:15:59David Ortiz
00:16:00Singing you can't ask
00:16:02For anything more
00:16:03This guy checks
00:16:04All the boxes
00:16:05Offensively
00:16:06He's the ultimate
00:16:07Professional
00:16:07And it doesn't just
00:16:08Start at game time
00:16:10It starts in the afternoon
00:16:11The way he prepares
00:16:12And gets ready
00:16:12For the ball game
00:16:13I tell you what
00:16:14His teammates feed
00:16:15Off of the leadership
00:16:16That he shows
00:16:17On and off the field
00:16:18And Ricky Henderson
00:16:20The grab
00:16:21And there's one down
00:16:22The right field
00:16:23Mookie
00:16:24Here's Mookie now
00:16:27And the first pitch
00:16:53Misses for ball one
00:16:55And here it comes
00:17:00Got the bat going too soon
00:17:13At strike two
00:17:14The wind and the pitch
00:17:21Tapped at the plate
00:17:25But it's a foul ball
00:17:26The one-two
00:17:35And now two and two
00:17:39This is a guy
00:17:40This is a guy that can be
00:17:40Frustrating for pitchers
00:17:42Because he fouls off
00:17:43So many pitches
00:17:44And grinds out the at bat
00:17:45I'm sure there's some times
00:17:46Where a pitcher
00:17:47Would rather just give up
00:17:48A first pitch single
00:17:49Than have to waste
00:17:50Six or seven pitches
00:17:51On one hitter
00:17:52And now the lefty
00:18:02And down on strikes
00:18:05He goes
00:18:06And there's two away
00:18:08Well he's really dialed in
00:18:09And this offense
00:18:10Is going to have to do something
00:18:11To try to break that rhythm
00:18:12Maybe it's square around the bond
00:18:14Step out of the box
00:18:15Agitate him a little bit
00:18:17Do something that just
00:18:18Changes what's happening
00:18:20Right now
00:18:20Because at this pace
00:18:22It's going to be a long game
00:18:23So you've got to figure it out quickly
00:18:24Two outs
00:18:30Bases empty
00:18:30Number 11
00:18:32Up next for the Red Sox
00:18:33First pitch
00:18:36Doesn't find the zone
00:18:37Two outs
00:18:49Looks like a really good fastball today
00:18:55You can hear that
00:18:56Catcher's mitt
00:18:57Popping
00:18:58Looking forward to hearing
00:18:59A lot of that one
00:19:00In this one
00:19:00The 1-1
00:19:08Hoog
00:19:12He never moved
00:19:13Because he never had time to
00:19:15But that kind of velocity
00:19:16You'd prefer that pitcher work away
00:19:18Two balls and a strike
00:19:20Here it comes
00:19:21Foul back our way
00:19:24And that's out of play
00:19:30Next offering
00:19:36Is in the dirt
00:19:37Two down
00:19:47Nobody on
00:19:48Got him looking
00:19:51And that is that
00:19:52Nothing doing for Boston
00:19:54And they're down
00:19:56Two nothing
00:19:56Top half of the third inning
00:20:08Here's the shortstop
00:20:10At the play
00:20:10Burt Campanaris
00:20:12Burt Campanaris
00:20:14The wind of the pitch
00:20:17That's a strike
00:20:21Well he looks fresh out there
00:20:23Just needs to get a little more confidence
00:20:25And remember how good he's been in the past
00:20:28Right-hander kicks deals
00:20:37Hard hit
00:20:41Left field
00:20:42Base hit
00:20:42So a runner aboard
00:20:44To start the inning
00:20:45Solid swing
00:20:48From start to end
00:20:49On time
00:20:50With everything
00:20:51Really good balance
00:20:52Nice extension
00:20:53And he met it out front
00:20:54For the line drive knock
00:20:55And now they've got some speed
00:20:57On first
00:20:57So we'll see if they try
00:20:58To get him into motion
00:20:59So the batting order
00:21:01Turns over
00:21:02Now here's the leadoff
00:21:03Hitter for the A's
00:21:04Ricky Henderson
00:21:05Not your prototypical
00:21:07Leadoff guy
00:21:07Gets on base
00:21:08Yes
00:21:09But also some power
00:21:10The pitch
00:21:21In the dirt
00:21:24To second
00:21:26But way too late
00:21:27Safe there
00:21:28Campanaris
00:21:35Leads off second
00:21:36With nobody out
00:21:37The one-two
00:21:54Foul ball
00:21:56Got him
00:22:09And now one away
00:22:10Big power guy right there
00:22:15And generating so much bat speed
00:22:17It's hard to bring that to a halt
00:22:19Once you've committed
00:22:20They tried to check the swing
00:22:21Just couldn't do it
00:22:22You think the violence is ugly
00:22:26It's true
00:22:28Eddie Collins
00:22:29Up next for the A's
00:22:31Next offering is down low
00:22:371-0
00:22:39One out
00:22:46And a runner at second
00:22:47Here's the pitch
00:22:50Runner breaks for third
00:22:51There's a ball
00:22:53Throw there
00:22:54Safe
00:22:55Missed to center field
00:23:15Number three
00:23:16Coming in on it
00:23:17Long run
00:23:18Tracks it down
00:23:19Runner tags for Holt
00:23:21The tag
00:23:22And that's out
00:23:23Number three
00:23:23Inning over
00:23:24Well as a former outfielder
00:23:26I love this play
00:23:27When you get the opportunity
00:23:28To throw a guy out
00:23:30At the plate
00:23:30Makes the catch
00:23:31As the runner tags
00:23:32And a laser throw
00:23:33To the plate
00:23:34On the money
00:23:35For the double play
00:23:36It's time to go hit
00:23:37I walk on the line
00:23:38Walk on it's time
00:23:41Back here at Fenway
00:23:44And now the catcher
00:23:45Comes up to him
00:23:46Number 29
00:23:47Leading off
00:23:48Obviously a guy who makes
00:23:49Good contact
00:23:50Hits for average
00:23:51But one of the things in today's game
00:23:53The value
00:23:54And the fact that
00:23:55He hits both righties
00:23:56And lefties
00:23:57They're so reliant
00:24:00On the matchups nowadays
00:24:01Chris
00:24:01And it's huge
00:24:02When you don't have to sit a guy
00:24:03When you can hit
00:24:05Both sides
00:24:06In terms of
00:24:07Pitcher's arms
00:24:07You're a guy
00:24:08That it's hard to take
00:24:09Out of the lineup
00:24:10And I think it's very important
00:24:12Today when everything
00:24:13Is under the microscope
00:24:14Next offering
00:24:25Is in for a strike
00:24:26The pitch
00:24:30That one misses
00:24:43Three and one
00:24:45The three one
00:24:54Good plate appearance there
00:24:58Able to take the walk
00:25:00Leading off
00:25:04Number 5
00:25:06Getting ready to hit
00:25:07I'm seeing you talk about
00:25:09A guy that has
00:25:09All the skills
00:25:10The range is really good
00:25:12But the arm
00:25:13Just stands out
00:25:14And he makes
00:25:14All the plays
00:25:15And because of that
00:25:18Big power arm
00:25:19He's able to play
00:25:19A little bit deeper
00:25:20Make throws from the
00:25:21Outfield grasp
00:25:22All the way across
00:25:23The diamond
00:25:24And still get a
00:25:25Pretty good runner
00:25:26That's impressive
00:25:27First offering
00:25:31And it just misses
00:25:32Nobody out
00:25:34Runner at first
00:25:35And there's a ball
00:25:42That one is absolutely
00:25:54Belted
00:25:54Bangs off the wall
00:25:56Lead runner to second
00:26:00So two on
00:26:01And nobody out
00:26:02That's a good sound
00:26:03Coming off the bat
00:26:04Man and as he
00:26:05Connected out front
00:26:06Lifting into the outfield
00:26:07That's one of those
00:26:08Swings where you just
00:26:09Don't even feel
00:26:10The ball hit the barrel
00:26:11That's a pure stroke
00:26:13And you can feel
00:26:14This crowd
00:26:15Waking up a bit here
00:26:16As the guys are starting
00:26:17To make some noise
00:26:18With their bats
00:26:18Now at the plate
00:26:20Number 15
00:26:21That one's in there
00:26:230-1
00:26:23At the belt
00:26:38And fires
00:26:39Now one and one
00:26:41And a pitch
00:26:48Good eye right there
00:26:51Good spot for the hitter
00:26:52Definitely has the advantage
00:26:54In this count
00:26:55With runners on
00:26:55Look for him to be aggressive
00:26:57On this next pitch
00:26:57No outs
00:26:59Runners at first
00:27:00And second
00:27:01Grounder might be two
00:27:08The punch out there
00:27:23One away
00:27:24Digging in
00:27:29It's the speedy
00:27:30Outfielder
00:27:31Number three
00:27:31You talk about
00:27:33Elite defensive players
00:27:34Especially in the middle
00:27:35Of the diamond
00:27:36And this guy
00:27:37Is at the top
00:27:38Of the list
00:27:39Swings through
00:27:44That one
00:27:450-1
00:27:46And you played
00:27:47Behind guys
00:27:48And they loved
00:27:48Having your speed
00:27:49Out there
00:27:50Defensively
00:27:50One of the things
00:27:51That we talk about
00:27:52Is how much
00:27:53Pitchers enjoy
00:27:54Having those elite
00:27:55Defenders behind them
00:27:56And a pitch
00:27:58And that one
00:28:00Wrapped foul
00:28:02Boogan the one thing
00:28:03About that
00:28:04Is speed
00:28:05Never goes in a slump
00:28:06And defense
00:28:07Shouldn't either
00:28:08Hitting wise
00:28:09You can struggle
00:28:10You can lose
00:28:10Your mechanics
00:28:11But the thing
00:28:12That you can do
00:28:12Consistently
00:28:13Every single game
00:28:14Is play great defense
00:28:16If you're talented
00:28:17In that way
00:28:17And this is what
00:28:18This guy does
00:28:19Just absolutely
00:28:20Rolling on the mound
00:28:21He's looking very much
00:28:22On his game
00:28:23In the early parts
00:28:23Of this one Boog
00:28:24Fully on the attack
00:28:26With these hitters
00:28:26That's seven
00:28:28Strikeouts already
00:28:29So he's got
00:28:30A good pace going
00:28:31No doubt
00:28:31So first and second
00:28:33With two outs
00:28:34Now the third baseman
00:28:36Jimmy Collins
00:28:37Went down on strikes
00:28:39His first time through
00:28:40In there
00:28:44For strike one
00:28:45Two outs
00:28:51Couple of base runners
00:28:53At first and second
00:28:54Fouled off
00:29:01He was late
00:29:02Well he knows
00:29:04They don't want to
00:29:04Give him anything
00:29:05To hit
00:29:06But when you've got
00:29:06Opportunities to drive
00:29:08In runs
00:29:08You've got to
00:29:09Expand the zone
00:29:10He's capable of
00:29:11Going out there
00:29:11And doing damage
00:29:12With it
00:29:13And the pitch
00:29:14Swing and a miss
00:29:17Struck him out
00:29:18And he's down on strikes
00:29:20For the second time
00:29:21Today
00:29:22Game three
00:29:23Moves on to the fourth
00:29:24It's the A's two
00:29:26And the Red Sox
00:29:27Nothing
00:29:27Back here at Fenway Park
00:29:44And here is
00:29:45Jimmy Fox
00:29:46This is a true
00:29:48Five tool guy
00:29:50Not very many of them
00:29:51Out there
00:29:51But when he's on the field
00:29:53You can't take your eye
00:29:53Off of him
00:29:54That one's in there
00:29:56It's 0-1
00:29:57Fans come to the ballpark
00:29:59To watch him play
00:30:01And in baseball
00:30:02To have such a talented player
00:30:03Going out there
00:30:04Every day
00:30:05And putting on the show
00:30:06That he does
00:30:07Just a joy to watch
00:30:09And that will fall
00:30:10Man aboard
00:30:11On the leadoff single
00:30:12And he's going to get to second
00:30:15With nobody out
00:30:16Wasting no time
00:30:17He's
00:30:18Two for two now
00:30:19On the night
00:30:20And just a triple
00:30:21And home run
00:30:22Away from the cycle
00:30:23Seriously
00:30:24We're starting with this already
00:30:26Here's some real power
00:30:34At the plate
00:30:34Reggie Jackson
00:30:35Next pitch downstairs
00:30:41And it's 1-0
00:30:43Hits for average power
00:30:45The ability to field
00:30:46The arm
00:30:47And then the speed
00:30:48Really impressive
00:30:49Fox
00:31:03Stands at second
00:31:04With no outs
00:31:05There the righty deals
00:31:32On the ground
00:31:34And that chance
00:31:35Handled
00:31:36That's the first out
00:31:37In the top of the fourth
00:31:39Well he's doing a nice job
00:31:41Of keeping the ball
00:31:42Out of the air
00:31:43Let's the defense
00:31:44Work behind him
00:31:45With another ground ball
00:31:46Good execution
00:31:47Mark
00:31:48McGuire
00:31:49Next to hit
00:31:55Mark McGuire
00:31:56He's a guy
00:31:58Who does it all
00:31:59With the lack
00:31:59Of contact
00:32:00In today's game
00:32:01This guy
00:32:02Hits for contact
00:32:03So he delivers
00:32:04Average
00:32:04But there's on base
00:32:05Slugging too
00:32:06On the ground
00:32:07Right side
00:32:08Tosses to the pitcher
00:32:10Covering the bag
00:32:12Pitcher gets to the bag
00:32:13For the out
00:32:14Now batting
00:32:16The center fielder
00:32:18Al
00:32:19Simmons
00:32:20Digging in for Oakland
00:32:27Al
00:32:28A guy who makes an impact
00:32:29Not just at the plate
00:32:31But also in the field
00:32:32In there
00:32:39And it's 0-1
00:32:40Though I know
00:32:41They've gotten out
00:32:41To an early lead
00:32:42But you don't want
00:32:43To take these opportunities
00:32:44For granted
00:32:45With two outs
00:32:45Still lock in
00:32:46With a quality at bat
00:32:48Drive in that run
00:32:49You may not have
00:32:49Another guy in scoring position
00:32:51The rest of this ball game
00:32:52On the ground
00:32:53Right side
00:32:54Sends it to first
00:32:55And that is that
00:32:57The A's strand one
00:33:00But they hold
00:33:01The 2-0 lead
00:33:01And welcome back
00:33:13Bottom of the fourth
00:33:14Here's the left fielder
00:33:15Ted Williams
00:33:16He's kind of an outlier
00:33:19Especially when guys
00:33:20Are consciously sacrificing
00:33:22Contact to deliver power
00:33:24And the first offering
00:33:28Is not close
00:33:29Yeah his swing
00:33:31Is so good
00:33:32It's in the zone
00:33:32A long time
00:33:33He gets the barrel
00:33:34To it a lot
00:33:35And that produces
00:33:35More base hits
00:33:36Next pitch
00:33:43Inside
00:33:43Two balls
00:33:44No strikes
00:33:45Kicks and fires
00:33:49Pitch misses
00:33:52And now 3-0
00:33:53And now 3-0
00:33:54Singy one of the things
00:33:55That's interesting
00:33:56Is that guys really
00:33:57Don't worry
00:33:58About swing and miss
00:33:59From an offensive standpoint
00:34:00Anymore
00:34:01So when you see somebody
00:34:02Who contacts the ball
00:34:04Like this
00:34:04Do you think of that
00:34:06Do you think of that
00:34:06As plus value
00:34:07Absolutely
00:34:08If he's doing damage
00:34:09Now if he's rolling over
00:34:11And grounding out
00:34:12Then it's a different story
00:34:13But yeah
00:34:14If he can put the ball
00:34:14In the gaps
00:34:15Or over the fence
00:34:16100%
00:34:17Next offering
00:34:18Is foul back
00:34:19The wind of the pitch
00:34:27Liner
00:34:30Snagged it first
00:34:32The first baseman
00:34:36Number 34
00:34:37David Ortiz
00:34:43Now at the plate
00:34:45First pitch
00:34:55And he just misses
00:34:56And he deals
00:35:02Way high
00:35:05No that pitch
00:35:06Not even close
00:35:07A 2-0 count now
00:35:08He can't be
00:35:09Over aggressive
00:35:10He's got to make sure
00:35:11That pitch is right
00:35:12On a tee for him
00:35:13Left hand batter waits
00:35:15That one's spoiled
00:35:18And
00:35:18The count now
00:35:202-1
00:35:20The pitch
00:35:27Ball three
00:35:30Down to three
00:35:33Now front
00:35:46Pulls that one
00:35:47Foul
00:35:47Now it's three
00:35:48And two
00:35:49Y'all this is a good time
00:36:01To step out of the box
00:36:02Take a deep breath
00:36:03Reset
00:36:04Couple of changeups
00:36:05Probably won't see
00:36:05Another one here
00:36:06The pitch
00:36:08And a foul ball
00:36:12Eighth pitch
00:36:18Of the at-bat
00:36:18Coming up
00:36:19And a swing
00:36:25And a miss
00:36:26Two gone
00:36:27He came out
00:36:28Of his mechanics
00:36:29There
00:36:29Typically
00:36:30Likes to shoot
00:36:30The ball
00:36:31The other way
00:36:32But that time
00:36:33Little anxious
00:36:34And now it's
00:36:41Mookie Betts
00:36:42Caught looking
00:36:43His first time up
00:36:44First offering
00:36:48Misses the mark
00:36:49Counts 1-0
00:36:51And that one upstairs
00:37:05He really committed
00:37:06He really committed to that fastball
00:37:07Up at the top of the zone
00:37:09He knows that if you make
00:37:10Some mistake in the zone
00:37:11It gets hit hard
00:37:11By a power guy like this
00:37:13That's a nice miss
00:37:14Right there
00:37:15The 2-1
00:37:17Well these guys have had a hard time scoring
00:37:24In this one
00:37:25The guy out there on the mound
00:37:26Wants to keep attacking
00:37:27Make sure that they don't get any confidence
00:37:29Turned on but foul
00:37:35Wide of third
00:37:36And there's ball four
00:37:47I don't think he really wanted to pitch to him
00:37:51Right there
00:37:51Anyhow
00:37:52Two outs
00:37:55Runner at first
00:37:56And next is the designated hitter
00:37:58Number 11
00:37:59Pitch misses inside
00:38:09Ball one
00:38:10There's a strike
00:38:21Betts
00:38:23Off of first
00:38:24With two away
00:38:25Blue
00:38:29Picks over
00:38:30And he's back in safely
00:38:40Kicks and deals
00:38:43Good eye right there
00:38:45But you want
00:38:53And strike two
00:38:56Left hand hitter waits
00:39:14Pitch misses there
00:39:16Three and two now
00:39:17Great RBI spot here
00:39:19Just got to stay focused on the pitch
00:39:20The runner will be in motion
00:39:21So something in the gap
00:39:23Should definitely score it
00:39:24Tying run at the plate
00:39:30Right side
00:39:32Jackson
00:39:33Moving under it
00:39:34Pulls it down
00:39:36And he makes the catch
00:39:37And the inning is over
00:39:39One left for the Red Sox
00:39:41They're still down
00:39:42It's 2-0
00:39:43We go to the top of the fifth
00:39:52Here's the third baseman
00:39:53Home run Baker
00:39:55It's good speed at the top of the order here
00:39:58You want to get it on
00:39:59See if you can get a stolen base
00:40:00Maybe get around the bases
00:40:02And pick up a run
00:40:03And the first pitch
00:40:05Misses for ball one
00:40:06In the air
00:40:16In the air left side
00:40:17And makes the grab
00:40:19What a way
00:40:20So Boog
00:40:21You went to college
00:40:22In this town
00:40:23What was it like for you
00:40:24Being a college student
00:40:25And having the opportunity
00:40:26To bounce over here
00:40:27To Fenway Park
00:40:28And see some games
00:40:28Yeah in fact
00:40:291990
00:40:30A couple of college classmates
00:40:32And I
00:40:32We were in college
00:40:33We bought standing room tickets
00:40:35And then the next night
00:40:36Got a chance to see
00:40:38The Red Sox
00:40:39Clinch the east
00:40:40Against the White Sox
00:40:41And that sliding catch
00:40:42In the corner
00:40:43By Tom Brudanski
00:40:44The Red Sox
00:40:45Would end up losing
00:40:46To the Oakland A's
00:40:48In the playoffs
00:40:49But that's one of the things
00:40:51That I'll think about
00:40:51In terms of memories
00:40:52From going to college
00:40:53And going to Fenway
00:40:54Next offering
00:40:56Is in for a strike
00:40:57He doesn't seem to like
00:40:58To pitch up
00:40:59Hasn't offered
00:41:00On either one of those pitches
00:41:010-2 count now
00:41:02I think the guy's
00:41:03Going to climb the ladder
00:41:04Out there
00:41:05Right into the plate
00:41:07Out there to center
00:41:12Number three
00:41:13Moving under this one
00:41:14Makes the grab
00:41:16For the second out
00:41:17Now it's the shortstop
00:41:29Burt
00:41:30This is a guy
00:41:31You got to keep an eye on
00:41:32When he digs in
00:41:33Definitely been known
00:41:34To drop a drag bunt
00:41:36From time to time
00:41:37And he's pretty good
00:41:38At it Chris
00:41:38Yeah and he creates
00:41:40A sense of urgency
00:41:41For the defense
00:41:42Because of the speed
00:41:43Because of the ability
00:41:44To put down that bunt
00:41:45And that's in there
00:41:47For strike one
00:41:48The 0-1
00:41:52And he lays down a bunt
00:41:56Collins
00:41:57Throws to first
00:41:59And that is the third
00:42:01Out of the inning
00:42:02We head to the bottom
00:42:14Of the fifth
00:42:14And now it's the catcher
00:42:15For the Red Sox
00:42:16Number 29
00:42:17Well these fans
00:42:19Definitely want to get
00:42:20Involved in the game
00:42:22All it's going to take
00:42:23Is to get the leadoff man
00:42:24Or even a base runner on
00:42:25The pitch
00:42:30And first offering
00:42:35Is fouled off
00:42:36There's a strike
00:42:47Oh this guy
00:42:47Is so comfortable
00:42:48Hitting with two strikes
00:42:49Even a good pitch
00:42:50Early in the at bat
00:42:51If he's not ready
00:42:52To pull the trigger
00:42:53He's not worried
00:42:54If he gets to an 0-2 count
00:42:55That misses
00:42:56One and two to count
00:42:58Got him
00:43:04One up one down
00:43:05Now at 10 K's
00:43:08With still a few innings left
00:43:09So expect him to add on
00:43:11To that total
00:43:12And you know
00:43:12Pitchers are looking to have
00:43:14A strikeout per inning
00:43:15I mean that's excellent work
00:43:16The way it looks now
00:43:18I mean he's going to have
00:43:19A better rate than that
00:43:20In this one
00:43:20So really good stuff
00:43:21Working on the mound
00:43:22In this one
00:43:23And the batter will be
00:43:24The shortstop
00:43:25Number five
00:43:26First pitch
00:43:35And that's in for a strike
00:43:36Up the middle
00:43:44Oh look at the stop
00:43:46Fires to first
00:43:47And very nicely
00:43:49Done for the out
00:43:50Here's another look
00:43:52With Statcast Singe
00:43:54The throw needed to be strong
00:43:55To beat the runner
00:43:56And it was
00:43:57Yeah that play was close
00:43:59And I think we need to credit
00:44:01That 88 mile per hour throw
00:44:03As the difference maker
00:44:04Right there
00:44:04That's just impressive
00:44:05Now it's the second baseman
00:44:10Number 15
00:44:11First pitch
00:44:16Doesn't find the zone
00:44:17And that one is
00:44:32In for a strike
00:44:33If he doesn't get
00:44:34A knock right here
00:44:34That pitch he just took
00:44:36Is going to eat at him
00:44:37For a while
00:44:37You might not see
00:44:38Another pitch like that
00:44:39From a top level guy
00:44:40Like this
00:44:41And now the lefty
00:44:43Swing
00:44:46And a miss
00:44:47And he got him
00:44:48To chase
00:44:48Now this offense
00:44:49Has just been locked down
00:44:51Almost five full innings
00:44:52Of shutout baseball
00:44:53And down on strikes
00:44:55Red Sox go
00:44:571-2-3
00:44:58He continues to roll
00:45:00On the mound
00:45:00As five shutout innings
00:45:02Are in the books
00:45:03Five innings complete
00:45:05It's the A's two
00:45:06And the Red Sox nothing
00:45:07And we're back
00:45:12Here at Fenway Park
00:45:13And now here's
00:45:14The speed threat
00:45:14Outfielder
00:45:15Ricky Henderson
00:45:16And the right hitter
00:45:20Back to work
00:45:21That one misses
00:45:24Ball one
00:45:26Righty delivers
00:45:31Swings and misses
00:45:35And now it's even
00:45:36One and one
00:45:37Why to kick the pitch
00:45:50So a foul ball
00:45:54Makes it one and two
00:45:55Tap back to the mound
00:46:07And it gets by him
00:46:09Now that
00:46:16The second baseman
00:46:18Eddie
00:46:19Knolland
00:46:21Move to first
00:46:32Ricky dives back in
00:46:33In there
00:46:43For strike one
00:46:44And here it comes
00:46:57Meanwhile
00:47:02Activity in the bullpen
00:47:03Bob Stanley
00:47:05Appears to be getting loose
00:47:06They try another pitch out
00:47:19Anderson aboard here at first
00:47:24With nobody out
00:47:25Ripped to third
00:47:30And caught
00:47:31The first baseman
00:47:37Number three
00:47:38Jimmy
00:47:39Fox
00:47:40Ricky on the move
00:47:53Pitch is high
00:47:55Throw to second
00:47:57Tag
00:47:57And they got him
00:47:58That goes to show you
00:47:59Stealing a base
00:48:00Is a tough thing to do
00:48:01And far from a sure thing
00:48:02Even with big time speed
00:48:04It's not easy to catch him
00:48:05But that was a great
00:48:06Catch and throw
00:48:07Quit
00:48:07Not rushed
00:48:08And accurate
00:48:09Two outs
00:48:15And now two and nothing
00:48:20Well on the mound
00:48:21Very efficient
00:48:22Able to produce an outcome
00:48:23It seems like
00:48:24Within the third
00:48:24Or fourth pitch
00:48:25Of just about
00:48:26Every at bat
00:48:27And that one
00:48:30Fouled off
00:48:31Two down
00:48:39Nobody on
00:48:40Next offering
00:48:43Is outside
00:48:43He hasn't
00:48:44Followed behind
00:48:45In the count
00:48:45Like this
00:48:46All day
00:48:47He's in danger
00:48:47Of walking
00:48:48His first batter
00:48:49Right here
00:48:49Three one
00:49:00And he couldn't
00:49:01Come up with it
00:49:02Well he tried
00:49:03To nibble right there
00:49:04And just missed his spot
00:49:06Hitter didn't offer at it
00:49:07Now he has somebody
00:49:08To worry about
00:49:09Over at first
00:49:10So here's the
00:49:11Cleanup hitter
00:49:12Reggie Jackson
00:49:13This guy has turned
00:49:14Into a beast
00:49:16Foul ball there
00:49:22And a pitch
00:49:35In the dirt
00:49:38Blocked
00:49:39In there
00:49:40Safely
00:49:41Rudder at second
00:49:49Two down
00:49:50The pitch
00:50:08He's not afraid
00:50:12To fall into
00:50:13A two strike
00:50:13Count
00:50:14Knows the strike
00:50:14Zone very well
00:50:15So much so
00:50:16That I think
00:50:16Umpires will
00:50:17Look at him
00:50:18And determine
00:50:19Whether it's a
00:50:19Ball or strike
00:50:20If he swings
00:50:20Or not
00:50:21He takes it
00:50:22Himself to the
00:50:22Bag
00:50:23And that'll do
00:50:23It
00:50:24Top of the order
00:50:24Two up in the
00:50:25Home half of the
00:50:26Six
00:50:26It's the A's
00:50:27Two
00:50:28And the Red Sox
00:50:29Nothing
00:50:29Back here at
00:50:36Fenway
00:50:37John Chomby
00:50:38With Chris Singleton
00:50:39In the booth
00:50:39And leading off
00:50:40The bottom of the
00:50:41Six
00:50:41Number 58
00:50:42The center fielder
00:50:43Number 3
00:50:45Blue
00:50:56Back to work
00:50:58That one
00:51:00Not close
00:51:01And that is
00:51:02Ball one
00:51:03The line
00:51:06Of the pitch
00:51:06And that one
00:51:10Is lifted
00:51:10In the air
00:51:11And Ricky
00:51:13Henderson
00:51:13The grab
00:51:14And there's
00:51:14One away
00:51:15Now
00:51:17Batting
00:51:17Third baseman
00:51:19And stepping
00:51:21In
00:51:21Is the speedy
00:51:22Jimmy Collins
00:51:23First offering
00:51:33And it just
00:51:34Misses
00:51:34Just missed
00:51:42Struggled a little bit
00:51:43In this one
00:51:44Couple of strikeouts
00:51:45Earlier
00:51:46But doing a much
00:51:47Better job
00:51:47In this at bat
00:51:48To get ahead
00:51:49And find a good
00:51:50Hitters count
00:51:50Played 2-0
00:51:51Next pitch
00:51:54Misses
00:51:55And that's
00:51:56Ball 3
00:51:56And he deals
00:52:06And a 4-pitch walk
00:52:09It's tough
00:52:11After falling
00:52:12Behind a hitter
00:52:13Two balls
00:52:14And no strikes
00:52:14But now
00:52:15At least he gets
00:52:16A fresh start
00:52:16Against a new
00:52:17Batter
00:52:17But he needs
00:52:18To get back
00:52:19Into the strike
00:52:20Zone
00:52:20And start pitching
00:52:21With conviction
00:52:21Now these guys
00:52:24Definitely looking
00:52:25For a big swing
00:52:26Of the bat
00:52:26Right here
00:52:27Try to close
00:52:27That gap
00:52:28But you know
00:52:28At the very least
00:52:29If you could find
00:52:30A way to manufacture
00:52:31That run
00:52:31From first
00:52:32It feels like
00:52:32It's really important
00:52:34To getting back
00:52:34Into this ballgame
00:52:35Blue
00:52:37Throws over
00:52:38Collins
00:52:39Back on a dive
00:52:40Williams
00:52:53Batting with one
00:52:53Down
00:52:54Takes a strike
00:52:55And a pinch
00:53:08One more
00:53:25And a big swing
00:53:27And a miss
00:53:27With two strikes
00:53:29May see some
00:53:30Movement over there
00:53:31At first base
00:53:31Trying to stay out
00:53:32Of a double play
00:53:33Here
00:53:34And the pitch
00:53:40Way outside
00:53:42The count now
00:53:43Two and two
00:53:44Kicks and fires
00:53:53And that's outside
00:53:55So here we go
00:53:57Base runner at first
00:53:58Could be running
00:53:59On the pitch
00:53:59He's got good enough
00:54:00Speed to steal the bag
00:54:01To get in scoring position
00:54:02Even if it's a swing
00:54:04And miss at the plate
00:54:05At the belt
00:54:10And fires
00:54:10And he swings
00:54:12And lifts one
00:54:13To deep center field
00:54:14That one's got a chance
00:54:15Pulls it in
00:54:17On the warning track
00:54:19The first baseman
00:54:26Number 34
00:54:27Here's the Boston
00:54:29Cleanup hitter
00:54:30David Ortiz
00:54:31He's good
00:54:43He's good
00:54:43Runner on the goal
00:54:45Pitch in for a strike
00:54:47And that's a stolen base
00:54:49Not even close
00:54:50Well that's deal
00:54:51Right there
00:54:52Is wanting to take advantage
00:54:53Of having a really good
00:54:54Hitter at the plate
00:54:55Now they've got
00:54:56A much better shot
00:54:57At bringing home
00:54:57A two out RBI
00:54:58Man on second
00:55:06Two down
00:55:07And now it's even up
00:55:09Man at second
00:55:25Just missed
00:55:28Two outs
00:55:30And one in scoring position
00:55:32Line to left
00:55:39That's a base hit
00:55:41Collins
00:55:41Headed for the plate
00:55:42The throw is offline
00:55:45And he's in to score
00:55:46And it's a one run game
00:55:48Well done
00:55:50Drives in the run
00:55:51Anytime you rip a line drive
00:55:53The other way
00:55:53You feel really good
00:55:55About what you did
00:55:56At the plate
00:55:56You trusted your hands
00:55:57You let the ball travel
00:55:59And you took the barrel
00:56:00Straight to it
00:56:01That's great work
00:56:02Right there
00:56:02Runner at first
00:56:04With two away
00:56:05Here's Mookie now
00:56:07He has
00:56:07As they like to say
00:56:09Light tower power
00:56:10Mookie
00:56:11Not a big guy
00:56:12But a big swing
00:56:14And thunder
00:56:15In that back
00:56:16But with the tie
00:56:17And run at first base
00:56:18He's looking for something
00:56:19He can get a lot of barrel on
00:56:20Drive it into a gap
00:56:21And score that run
00:56:22From first base
00:56:23The lefty
00:56:31The 1-0
00:56:32Just about to hit
00:56:33That century mark
00:56:34100 pitches
00:56:35For this game
00:56:37That curveball
00:56:38Has been a big pitch
00:56:39For him today
00:56:40He's been able to get ahead
00:56:41In the count with it
00:56:42He's also been able to use it
00:56:43To put guys away
00:56:44Kicks and deals
00:56:50Right through there
00:56:52For a strike
00:56:53Just off the outside edge
00:57:04Really good take
00:57:06Especially with two strikes
00:57:072-2 now
00:57:13Slapped foul
00:57:152-2 now
00:57:26Swag and a miss
00:57:28The velocity
00:57:29Blasted it right past him
00:57:31But the RBI single
00:57:33Pushes across a run
00:57:34And it's now a 2-1 ball game
00:57:37Money don't slow down
00:57:38I'm grown now
00:57:40Yeah
00:57:40I'm on now
00:57:42I'm dropping the top
00:57:43I'm skirting off
00:57:44I'm in a four
00:57:44The new pitcher in the game
00:57:47Bob Stanley
00:57:48It's his job to keep his team
00:57:50In the game
00:57:51We go to the top of the seven
00:58:03And now it's going to be
00:58:04Mark McGuire
00:58:05The pitch
00:58:18And first offering
00:58:23Is fouled off
00:58:24The wind to the pitch
00:58:33And it's fouled away
00:58:37Cut on and miss
00:58:50Struck him out
00:58:51And a quick out
00:58:52And a quick out number one
00:58:53A big first out here
00:58:55In the seventh
00:58:56Via the punch out
00:58:57Yeah
00:58:57It just does so much
00:58:58To change the outlook
00:58:59Of an important inning
00:59:00Like this
00:59:01When you got the leadoff hitter
00:59:02So critical
00:59:03In setting the table
00:59:04When you got a tight game
00:59:06Like this
00:59:06So a strikeout
00:59:07Really puts them
00:59:08On their heels
00:59:08Simmons
00:59:18Simmons
00:59:18Now at the plate
00:59:20As he swings through
00:59:21Strike one
00:59:21And a pitch
00:59:29And a pitch
00:59:30A little out front
00:59:34There as he swings through it
00:59:36Then he really sells
00:59:37The changeup
00:59:38With that arm action
00:59:39Next offering
00:59:49Down low
00:59:49And in the dirt
00:59:50And another ball
00:59:59And the right hander deals
01:00:13On the ground
01:00:17Tosses to first
01:00:20And two away
01:00:21To start the seventh
01:00:22Good fade
01:00:23And sinking action
01:00:24Of that changeup
01:00:25Got that hitter
01:00:25To roll over
01:00:26Two outs
01:00:30Bases empty
01:00:31Home run
01:00:32Baker
01:00:32Up next for the A's
01:00:34Great speed
01:00:36And great power
01:00:37A great athlete
01:00:38Quite simply
01:00:39He's like Mike Trout
01:00:46You figure whatever
01:00:47You put in his hand
01:00:48Whether it's a bat
01:00:48Whether it's a golf club
01:00:49Whether it's a basketball
01:00:50He can do it
01:00:51And get it done
01:00:52And a rare talent
01:00:54So much fun to watch
01:00:55Bounced up the middle
01:00:57Whips it to first
01:00:58On the run
01:00:59Oakland goes quietly
01:01:01And one, two, three
01:01:04Go the A's
01:01:05They lead it 2-1
01:01:06Bottom of the seventh
01:01:18And now the DH
01:01:19Number 11
01:01:20If you don't get ahead
01:01:22In the count
01:01:22You can forget about
01:01:23Having any success
01:01:24Against him
01:01:25The pitch
01:01:27And there's a foul ball
01:01:32Left hand batter waits
01:01:40And that one clips the corner
01:01:44Well he's back out there
01:01:46To begin the seventh
01:01:47That surprised you at all Chris?
01:01:49Yeah a little bit
01:01:50And it was a little rough
01:01:50Sixth inning there
01:01:51But his skippers
01:01:52Got a lot of confidence
01:01:53In him
01:01:54But trust me
01:01:55They will keep a close eye
01:01:57On how he does
01:01:57In this one
01:01:58The tying run at the plate
01:02:10Stays alive
01:02:13Deal 2-2
01:02:21And a foul ball
01:02:25He stays alive
01:02:26The wind of the pitch
01:02:34And one and two
01:02:37Next pitch in the dirt
01:02:52Two balls
01:02:53Two strikes
01:02:53And now the lefty
01:03:02Pulled hard
01:03:05But it's a foul ball
01:03:072-2 now
01:03:15Swing and a high fly ball
01:03:19To the left
01:03:20And Ricky Henderson
01:03:22The grab
01:03:23Now batter
01:03:28Number 29
01:03:29So digging in
01:03:33Number 29
01:03:34In there
01:03:49And it's 0-1
01:03:49And I know you want to be patient
01:03:51As a hitter
01:03:52But you got to be ready
01:03:54To jump on the first thing straight
01:03:55And he got one right there
01:03:57But left the bat on his shoulder
01:03:58That one ripped
01:04:14And it hits the top of the wall
01:04:18Always feels amazing
01:04:24Getting a job done
01:04:25When the team needs you
01:04:26To come through
01:04:26It's just bigger
01:04:27Than your own individual stats
01:04:29Just missed out
01:04:30On a home run
01:04:31Right there
01:04:32But he certainly
01:04:32Hit it hard enough
01:04:33Just didn't have
01:04:34The right launch angle
01:04:35To carry it over the wall
01:04:37But still an excellent
01:04:38Swing of the bat
01:04:39Now a huge at bat
01:04:40In this game coming up
01:04:41Manager out of the dugout now
01:04:43And it looks like
01:04:44We'll see a change
01:04:45On the mound
01:04:46Vida Blue
01:04:47Won't go any further tonight
01:04:49And he leaves
01:04:50In a one run game
01:04:51New pitcher coming up
01:04:53We'll be back in a minute
01:04:54New pitcher on here
01:04:55Dave Stewart
01:04:56And he'll work on
01:04:58Holding this lead
01:04:58And stepping in for Boston
01:05:08Number five
01:05:09First offering
01:05:17Misses the mark
01:05:18If you're a base runner
01:05:19You've got to stay dialed in here
01:05:21Look for anything in the dirt
01:05:23Try your best
01:05:24To get in the scoring position
01:05:25The pitch
01:05:51There's a strike
01:05:53With a single base runner
01:05:55Because of all the power
01:05:56They are dangerous
01:05:58To tie this thing up
01:06:00Or take the lead
01:06:01Righty to the plate
01:06:02And that's outside
01:06:04Number 29
01:06:07At first
01:06:08One gone
01:06:09And the righty deals
01:06:29Stays alive
01:06:31Righty delivers
01:06:45And a foul
01:06:47Baldy stays alive
01:06:48Baldy's having a tough time
01:06:50Getting a pitch by him
01:06:51As a hitter
01:06:51You feel pretty confident
01:06:52That you're seeing
01:06:53Different pitches
01:06:54Still able to make
01:06:55Some type of contact
01:06:56And here it comes
01:06:59And now the count
01:07:00Filled up
01:07:01Three and two
01:07:02On this count
01:07:03Runner
01:07:03Not known for his speed
01:07:05But I think you've got to
01:07:06Put him in motion
01:07:07Try to avoid a double play
01:07:08Here boo
01:07:09And a foul ball
01:07:18Is there a little wrinkle
01:07:19To that?
01:07:19I think there was
01:07:20A little slider action
01:07:23Right-hander kicks deals
01:07:30And ball four
01:07:32To a board
01:07:33When you go that deep
01:07:34Into the bat
01:07:35The hitter usually
01:07:36Comes out on top
01:07:37Here's a speed threat
01:07:40Number 15
01:07:41It's been such a good hitter
01:07:43With runners in scoring position
01:07:44Some guys just take it
01:07:46To another level
01:07:47For him right now
01:07:48At the plate
01:07:48It's like
01:07:49Everyone else is in slow motion
01:07:51And he's in full speed
01:07:53These home fans
01:07:56They are making a lot of noise
01:07:58Putting pressure
01:07:58On that pitcher out there
01:08:00The pitch
01:08:04Swing and a miss
01:08:06That's strike one
01:08:08And a pitch
01:08:15That one hit to right
01:08:18And there's a hit
01:08:20Throw comes in quickly
01:08:22And the tying run
01:08:24Forced to hold on
01:08:25At third
01:08:25With one away
01:08:26Back-to-back singles
01:08:28You know what they say
01:08:29He couldn't have thrown it out there
01:08:30Any better than that
01:08:31And certainly the case
01:08:32That time
01:08:33Just flared it back
01:08:34Behind the second baseman
01:08:35And dropped it in there
01:08:36Now a great opportunity
01:08:37To at least tie up this game
01:08:38With something like a sack fly
01:08:40Or an error in the infield
01:08:41But another hit to the outfield
01:08:43Could absolutely end it
01:08:44And first offering
01:08:58Is fouled off
01:08:59Always tough to turn two
01:09:01On a speedster like this
01:09:02It's even harder
01:09:03With him coming out of
01:09:04The left-handed batter's box
01:09:05You really need something
01:09:06To hit hard on the ground
01:09:07That they can handle
01:09:08To turn two quickly
01:09:09Here comes the pitch
01:09:10There's the strike
01:09:12I think ultimately
01:09:14You want to tie him up
01:09:16Get the ball in on the plate
01:09:17So that he can't get the barrel to it
01:09:19And hit it to the outfield
01:09:20Left-handed hitter waits
01:09:28Got him
01:09:30Huge strike out there
01:09:32They've had a great plan
01:09:34Of attack for him tonight
01:09:35Finding all the holes
01:09:36In his swing
01:09:37And his approach
01:09:38Just frustrating for him up there
01:09:40You strike out a guy
01:09:40Three times in a game
01:09:42I think that guy's got to go back
01:09:43And really study some video
01:09:45With his hitting coach
01:09:45Figure out how they're beating him
01:09:47Make this adjustment really quick
01:09:49Because word will get around
01:09:50The league in a hurry
01:09:51Jimmy Collins
01:10:06Stands in but two away
01:10:08As he takes a ball
01:10:09Bounce to the left side
01:10:17They take the force out
01:10:20Inning over
01:10:21Red Sox leave them loaded
01:10:25They're down
01:10:25Two to one
01:10:27Back here at the ballpark
01:10:38Ready to begin the eighth
01:10:39And now here's the A's catcher
01:10:41Number two
01:10:42He is at the top of the game
01:10:45In terms of defense
01:10:47At the catching spot
01:10:48Pitch is in for a strike
01:10:52And it's 0-1
01:10:53It's so impressive
01:10:54Because these guys
01:10:55Have to do so much study
01:10:56And preparation
01:10:57For their pitchers
01:10:59For opposing hitters
01:11:00And really their number one job
01:11:02Is to guide that staff
01:11:04Through a ball game
01:11:05And so when you also
01:11:07Can turn it up offensively
01:11:09And be a force there
01:11:10That is a win-win
01:11:12Every manager's dream
01:11:13Next offering is fouled back
01:11:28The pitch
01:11:36Swing and a miss
01:11:41Struck him out
01:11:42And that's the first out
01:11:43Pretty big strikeout
01:11:44Right there to start
01:11:45This eighth inning
01:11:46Down one
01:11:47Any lead off base runner
01:11:48Really makes this inning
01:11:49A bit more interesting
01:11:51But now this offense
01:11:52Has to switch
01:11:52From possibly trying
01:11:53To manufacture a run
01:11:55To needing to run
01:11:56Into something
01:11:56Or just try to string
01:11:57Multiple hits together
01:11:58To get a run
01:11:59Across the plate
01:12:00Line drive
01:12:06Makes the grab
01:12:07And there's two gone
01:12:08The left
01:12:11Number 24
01:12:12Ricky
01:12:13Henderson
01:12:15Ricky Henderson
01:12:18Up next for the A's
01:12:20He is quite an athlete
01:12:22I mean you look around
01:12:23The other sports
01:12:24Basketball
01:12:25Football
01:12:25You feel like
01:12:26He could thrive
01:12:27In one of those sports too
01:12:28And the first pitch
01:12:32Misses for ball one
01:12:33And a strike
01:12:41Swing and he breaks
01:13:00His bat
01:13:01Fires over to first
01:13:03That ends the frame
01:13:05Nothing doing there
01:13:10For the A's
01:13:11But they still lead it
01:13:12Two to one
01:13:13Out of the bottom
01:13:24Of the eighth
01:13:24Now here is
01:13:26Ted Williams
01:13:27Leading off
01:13:28Chris baseball today
01:13:29So many strikeouts
01:13:31And they are available
01:13:32To pitchers
01:13:33But this is a guy
01:13:34That puts the bat
01:13:35On the ball
01:13:36And is kind of different
01:13:37From the players
01:13:38That we see
01:13:38Day in day out
01:13:39The athletics
01:13:40Accepts a bullpen
01:13:41Action
01:13:42Dennis Eckersley
01:13:43Up and loosening
01:13:44In the pen
01:13:45Next one is off the play
01:13:54And that's ball two
01:13:55Ground ball to the right side
01:14:13Steps out first
01:14:15For the out
01:14:16So a new pitcher
01:14:25On the mound
01:14:26For the A's
01:14:27Raleigh Fingers
01:14:28He's being eased
01:14:30Into the game
01:14:30Here with the bases empty
01:14:31And next will be the clean up hitter
01:14:43David Ortiz
01:14:45And that's in there
01:14:53For strike one
01:14:54And he deals
01:15:09And ball one
01:15:12And a pitch
01:15:18Out towards left center
01:15:21Simmons
01:15:23On the run
01:15:24To the right
01:15:25Makes the grab
01:15:27And that quickly
01:15:28Two away
01:15:29Now that is
01:15:33Right fielder
01:15:34Mookie
01:15:35Betts
01:15:36Now it's
01:15:37Mookie
01:15:38Betts
01:15:38First pitch
01:15:49And he has to get out of the way
01:15:50This one in the air
01:16:01Center field
01:16:02Simmons
01:16:03Settles underneath it
01:16:05And puts the squeeze
01:16:07On that one
01:16:07And that
01:16:08Is the inning
01:16:09Down in order
01:16:10Go the Red Sox
01:16:11And our score remains
01:16:132-1
01:16:20Number 28
01:16:21Takes over on the mound
01:16:23And he'll do his best
01:16:24To keep this close
01:16:25Welcome back
01:16:37Now here is
01:16:38Eddie Collins
01:16:39Chris his skill set
01:16:41Straight out of the mid 80's
01:16:43Good contact
01:16:44Not much power
01:16:45And he can run
01:16:46He always uses the wheels
01:16:47To his advantage
01:16:49His biggest challenge
01:16:50In this day and age
01:16:52Is to not get caught up
01:16:53In trying to hit home runs
01:16:54Because so many people are
01:16:56Racing in
01:16:57Makes the catch
01:16:59And there's one down
01:17:00Jimmy Fox
01:17:10Digs in now
01:17:19First pitch
01:17:24Doesn't find the zone
01:17:25Kicks and fires
01:17:44And a count
01:17:48One and two
01:17:49Stays alive
01:18:04The pitch
01:18:15That one inside
01:18:20And it's two and two
01:18:21Sharp grounder
01:18:31That's through for a base hit
01:18:32Right there
01:18:38Right there
01:18:38Does a great job
01:18:39Of staying in the big part
01:18:40Of the field
01:18:40Man there are a lot
01:18:41Of hits there
01:18:42One gone runner
01:18:48At first
01:18:49Reggie Jackson
01:18:50Up next for the A's
01:18:52On the ground
01:18:57A third
01:18:57And it gets by him
01:18:59Quick throw
01:19:03Back in
01:19:04Lead runner
01:19:05Holds it second
01:19:05With one gone
01:19:06Just found a way
01:19:09To slap that ball
01:19:10Down the third
01:19:10Base line
01:19:11That's really excellent
01:19:12Back control
01:19:12And it kind of goes
01:19:13Back to all those drills
01:19:14You see hitters do
01:19:15On the tee
01:19:16Where it's placed
01:19:17In different spots
01:19:18That was just nice
01:19:19Mark McGuire
01:19:20Up next for the A's
01:19:22Ziggy
01:19:23He's got a history
01:19:24Of coming through
01:19:25In the big spots
01:19:26I know I like to talk about
01:19:28I'm not sure whether
01:19:28Clutch actually exists
01:19:30But you look at the numbers
01:19:31And this guy
01:19:32Always seems to deliver
01:19:33In those spots
01:19:35Well I think it's the ability
01:19:39To assess the situation
01:19:41Understanding what the pitcher has
01:19:43What he's trying to get people out on
01:19:45And then being able to use
01:19:46The entire field
01:19:47And he'll one
01:19:52And downstairs
01:20:05Not close with that one
01:20:17And that's ball three
01:20:19And a pitch
01:20:37Foul off left side
01:20:40Three balls
01:20:53Two strikes
01:20:54To count
01:20:54Foul off again
01:20:56And it remains
01:20:58Three and two
01:20:58And a foul ball
01:21:10He stays alive
01:21:11Downstairs
01:21:24And it misses
01:21:25Ball four
01:21:25Well the stage has been set
01:21:27For this offense
01:21:28It's all about
01:21:29Creating opportunities
01:21:30And this is one of them
01:21:31Right here
01:21:32He's so good about
01:21:35Trying to drive the ball
01:21:36To the opposite field gap
01:21:37In these situations
01:21:38If he takes that approach
01:21:40He could bust this game
01:21:41Wide open
01:21:42And fouled off
01:21:50One run game
01:21:55The A's looking for some insurance
01:21:57Next pitch is popped up
01:22:05And there are two outs
01:22:07That's a frustrating at bat right there
01:22:10A big opportunity
01:22:11And just missed it
01:22:12And then he wanted to do some damage
01:22:14Next guy
01:22:15Pick him up
01:22:15Home run Baker
01:22:17We got it
01:22:19Home run Baker
01:22:21Up next for the A's
01:22:23You know this is kind of a tough matchup
01:22:25As a left-handed hitter
01:22:26Facing a left-handed pitcher
01:22:27What you tell yourself
01:22:29Is I want to stay square to the plate
01:22:30Try to hit the ball
01:22:32Over the shortstop's head
01:22:33Ripped to first
01:22:36Caught
01:22:37A's threatened
01:22:40But leave him loaded
01:22:41As they're unable to add
01:22:43To their 2-1 lead
01:22:44Back now
01:22:53And on the mound
01:22:54The closer
01:22:55Dennis Eckersley
01:22:56Trying to protect this lead
01:22:58Dennis
01:22:59Yes
01:23:00Well
01:23:02One run game
01:23:03Number 11
01:23:04Getting ready to hit
01:23:05You know this guy's great speed
01:23:08He's in the back of that pitcher's mind
01:23:10If he can get on
01:23:10It's going to give him
01:23:11One more thing
01:23:12He's got to think about
01:23:13First off ring
01:23:14Misses the mark
01:23:15One run game
01:23:19Bottom nine
01:23:20Fong off
01:23:22Foul
01:23:23Kicks and deals
01:23:31That one fouled off
01:23:35The wind of the pitch
01:23:43And he grounds one to the right side
01:23:47Tosses to first
01:23:49And they get the lead off
01:23:50Man of the ninth
01:23:51Good sinker
01:23:52Low in the zone
01:23:53Right there
01:23:53And produced exactly
01:23:55What he was looking for
01:23:55Fall on the ground
01:23:56Nice ground out
01:23:58Still stepping in
01:24:02For Boston
01:24:02Number 29
01:24:04Fouled off
01:24:14He was late
01:24:15Right aided reliever
01:24:24Right aided reliever
01:24:24Swing and a miss
01:24:44And they're down to their last out
01:24:55Well that's always the key to effective pitching
01:24:59Is getting ahead in the count
01:25:00And as a pitcher
01:25:01It really allows you to start expanding the zone
01:25:03Guys become defensive
01:25:05And all of a sudden
01:25:06For the hitter
01:25:06That plate starts to get really wide
01:25:08And what happens is
01:25:10Because of the pressure
01:25:11You end up committing to a pitch
01:25:13As a batter
01:25:13Before you recognize what it is
01:25:15And that's what leads to the strikeout
01:25:17So two down now
01:25:19And here is
01:25:20Number five
01:25:21Foul ball
01:25:24Crowd locked in right now
01:25:36One run game
01:25:37Here in the ninth
01:25:38Next pitch is downstairs
01:25:42Trying to keep good speed
01:25:44Off the bases
01:25:45Looking to get the tying run on base
01:26:01To the right side
01:26:03Collins
01:26:03Collects
01:26:05Throw to first
01:26:05And ball game
01:26:07And the A's
01:26:08Claim the win here
01:26:09Behind some great pitching and defense
01:26:11Game threes are very critical
01:26:13When you have a series tied at one and one
01:26:16Because you put yourself up
01:26:18Anytime you go down
01:26:20You're always chasing
01:26:21When you're up in the series
01:26:23You feel like you're in the driver's seat
01:26:24Nice win today
01:26:25Not a ton of offense to chat about
01:26:35As we look at the final numbers
01:26:37But this was a good one
01:26:38Yeah
01:26:38It was a low scoring game
01:26:40But sometimes those can be the best
01:26:42Especially this time of year
01:26:43And your final score here today
