00:00Do

01:00Ready to go for the last half of the inning.

01:14Here's the veteran second baseman, Nico Horner.

01:20And one fouled off.

01:26And he grounds one back up the middle.

01:28Oh, what a stop.

01:29It's there, and that's a great play.

01:32Great reaction there to get to the baseball, secure it,

01:35and then no time to get up and throw.

01:37Throws from one knee.

01:39That's a guy that's got a lot of confidence in his arm strength and accuracy.

01:42Luis Angel Acuna.

01:44Now at the plate as he swings through, strike one.

01:47That one misses.

01:48And that's ball one.

01:49The Twins would love to get a win in this one to boost their postseason hopes.

01:59Fights that one away.

02:00Still one and two.

02:07Swing and a miss.

02:08And he's down on strikes.

02:10And there's two down.

02:11Well, they got her swinging with the knuckleball there.

02:13And I feel this hitter's pain, Boog.

02:15I just have nightmares about the times that I had to face Tim Wakefield.

02:19Not good numbers.

02:21And if my career was based off of that, I would have been in triple A.

02:24Juan Soto stands in here.

02:29Tried to hold back his swing there, but went around.

02:32That one down the line.

02:34And it goes just foul.

02:36Yeah, and the clubhouse mood swings a little more with each game down the stretch, Boog.

02:41Win this one, and they'll be feeling pretty good.

02:43Lose it, and maybe some anxiety starts to set in.

02:49Two out spaces empty.

02:51Caught him looking for the K.

02:56Not ending in the books.

02:58No score here on the show.

03:04Back here in Queens.

03:06Stepping in, Pete Alonso.

03:10On the ground to third.

03:12And that's just foul.

03:21Well, we call that key-holy.

03:27Even though it's right there and looks pretty good, if he doesn't love it, he's not going to swing that early in the count.

03:33Got him.

03:34And he's registered three Ks in this one.

03:36Well, he's got great strikeout stuff on the mound, doesn't he?

03:39And these double-digit strikeouts in his last start, and he's just racking them up again in this one.

03:43And this guy can really dominate a game out there.

03:46Not a fun assignment for any lineup.

03:49Oh, here's a game Lindor will never forget.

03:51One night in July of 2023, he went 5-for-5 with a home run, two triples, and he scored three runs.

03:59That stat line is so rare, only one other player has done it.

04:02Guess who?

04:03Willie Mays in 1958.

04:04Well, he's really dialed in, and this offense is going to have to do something and try to break that rhythm.

04:10Maybe it's square around the bond, step out of the box, agitate him a little bit, do something that just changes what's happening right now.

04:18He's there to make the catch at third, and the inning is over.

04:22So they go quietly there.

04:25And we're back, set for the bottom of the third.

04:28Ryan Jeffers at the plate.

04:31Tap foul at the plate.

04:33Well, these Mets definitely being aggressive at the plate, but I think it's fair to wonder if they're being a little over-aggressive.

04:40The numbers tell us they're swinging at the first pitch more than 90% of the time, and that's an extremely high number, especially when you're not getting results, Booth.

04:49Wow, short work to send him packing to start the inning, and no messing around either.

04:53All three pitches were in the strike zone, attack mode all the way, and that's pretty impressive, given the pop he was dealing with at the plate.

05:01Swing and a miss as he was late.

05:03One more.

05:07Popped up to the left, into foul ground.

05:10Has room, and he makes the catch.

05:15Spencer Jones up now for the Mets.

05:17And a swing and a miss.

05:21Going to really need to hang in there with that front side against this left-handed breaking ball.

05:26The next offering misses.

05:28Ball one.

05:29Still tied at zero.

05:31Last of the third.

05:32Outside low.

05:34Two balls and a strike.

05:35That one out to right.

05:40Leon.

05:41Mine, mine, mine.

05:43Makes the play, and it's out number three.

05:46Nine.

05:46Let's check out some notable Cy Young candidates so far this year.

05:58And there's the strike.

05:59These hitters have come out ready to swing the bats early in the count and swing it often.

06:04If you want to score some runs, have an offensive explosion, that can be a route to doing it.

06:09Leon makes the play, and there's one down.

06:12Luis Angel Acuna up now for the Mets.

06:15This one popped up.

06:18Foul ground, first base side.

06:21He's there.

06:23He's got it.

06:23And a couple of quick outs.

06:26Here's Juan Soto.

06:27That was a good, hard fastball with some nice ride up in the zone right there.

06:32Hitter looked like he was on it, but I think that velocity at the end just beat him.

06:37Instead of a line drive or something hit deep, it's a pop-up and an easy out for the defense.

06:42In there at the knees.

06:43And the count is 0-2.

06:48Got him swinging.

06:51Down in order go the Mets.

06:53Still.

06:55Welcome back.

06:56Let's check out what's been happening of late.

06:59Really been playing well.

07:05Swings through that one out in front that time.

07:07Bobo, it didn't take very long for Alonzo to set the home run record here at Citi Field.

07:12He passed Lucas Duda for the top spot in June of 2023.

07:16Got him looking with the knuckler for a strike three.

07:20Oh, there's a three-pitch strikeout.

07:22He can do whatever he wants with the baseball right now.

07:26Lindor swings through that one.

07:28Puts it in the air out towards left center.

07:34Taveras sizing this one up.

07:38He's got it.

07:39There's two away.

07:41Here's the left fielder, Evan Carter.

07:44There's the swing and a miss.

07:48Carter.

07:48It is sixth season.

07:5026 years old.

07:52And he was a second-round pick in 2020.

07:58Two outs.

08:01And a swing and a miss.

08:02Down on strikes.

08:04And he's up to eight strikeouts in this one.

08:07Nothing doing for the Mets.

08:08And we are still scoreless.

08:18Back here at Citi Field.

08:19Bottom of the sixth inning.

08:21Here's the catcher for the Mets.

08:22Ryan Jeffers.

08:24And that's in for a strike.

08:25And it's 0-1.

08:27Well, on paper, it's favorable to have a fairly quick inning here with two of the three hitters he's set to face batting from the left side.

08:35Same side he throws from.

08:43That one lifted to left.

08:45Correa is there.

08:48And there's one down.

08:49Fastball for a strike.

08:59Going along.

09:03Grounds one to short.

09:05Correa.

09:07The throw to first.

09:08Two up, two down.

09:09He's doing a nice job of keeping the ball out of the air.

09:12Let's the defense work behind him with another ground ball.

09:15Good execution.

09:16Jones stands in here.

09:18Leaves that one off the inside.

09:22Just missed.

09:24The rest of the lineup could learn a thing or two from this at bat right here.

09:27He's been patient.

09:28And now he's in the driver's seat with a 2-0 count.

09:33The 2-1.

09:35And a big swing and a miss.

09:38Two down.

09:38Nobody on.

09:39Here in the bottom of the sixth.

09:42Cuts and misses.

09:43It's a strikeout.

09:45So he's perfect.

09:48And welcome back to the ballpark.

09:50Bottom of the seventh.

09:51And stepping in for New York.

09:52Nico Horner.

09:55Out in front with the swing.

09:57And that is strike one.

09:58They've got a potent lineup.

09:59And when you think about teams capable of rallying from this kind of deficit,

10:03they're right at the top of the list.

10:07Got him looking.

10:09And that K brings him into double digits for the game.

10:13Luis Angel Acuna.

10:14Up now for the Mets.

10:19It's in and out of his glove.

10:22And they get the out.

10:23Good recovery.

10:24Wasn't easy following the misplay.

10:26Soto up to hit for the third time as he lays off inside.

10:34Ball one.

10:37The offense needs to start showing some fight against this starter.

10:40He's doing his thing out there.

10:42They're going to have to push back at some point and make him work a little bit harder.

10:45The Mets still looking for their first hit in this one.

10:50Swing and a miss.

10:52And he is down on strikes for the third straight at bat.

10:55Welcome back as we take a peek at the starting pitching so far this year.

11:03Swing and misses.

11:04Oh, what's going on?

11:12One, one, one.

11:13Hit on the ground and it gets through.

11:16Just like that.

11:17The perfect game is gone.

11:19And the leadoff man aboard.

11:21Tough to see the no-no end here with just six outs to go, Boog.

11:24But still a great performance on the mound.

11:27And now we'll see if he can get right back to work and go after the next guy.

11:30Swings and misses.

11:32And the count is 0-2.

11:33Well, the leadoff man gets on.

11:35You want to minimize the threat by playing sound defense.

11:39Hopefully the pitcher can get a ball on the ground and they can roll him up for two.

11:44So digging in, Evan Carter.

11:48And there's a foul ball.

11:53Swing and a miss.

11:55That is strike two.

12:01That wasn't an easy pitch to hit.

12:03It's much easier to do damage against mistakes.

12:06But that's not what that pitch was.

12:12Close one.

12:13Doesn't get the call.

12:14And the count one and two.

12:17Nice stop.

12:20Throw to first.

12:21Nicely done for the out.

12:27So up next for New York, Ryan Jeffers.

12:33Man, it's second.

12:38Swings and misses.

12:40And it's 0-2.

12:44Fouled off.

12:45And they'll do it again.

12:49And that is a good eye on a pitch down low.

12:52And the count is 1-2.

12:54100 miles an hour.

12:58Foul that off.

12:59That's a good piece of swing.

13:02And he got him.

13:03Strike three.

13:04And that'll retire the side.

13:06Another inning.

13:08Back now as they hand the ball to a fresh arm to start the bottom of the ninth.

13:12Averson, number 53, piled up the strikeouts over eight shutout innings on the hill.

13:19Yeah, just a great outing from him, Boog.

13:20And I think it's a boost.

13:21I think it's a boost.

13:50So up next, Joe.

13:52All right, have you done a great job today?

13:55Okay.

13:59Yeah, I think it's a good job.

14:01Great job today.

14:11Okay.

14:16arse

14:18All right.

14:18just about ready to go getting the nod in this one number 53 and singe as you know he took home

14:38the al cy young award last year well book he was healthy last year and gained a tremendous amount

14:44of confidence he took a big step forward last season i think he'll take another one this season

14:49and that chance handled and he takes it himself for the out

14:52parker meadows now at the plate

14:58on the ground right side keith gets it to first and a couple of quick outs

15:08two outs space is empty now with the plate david fry swing and a miss as he was out front that time

15:17on the ground and that one handled tosses the first and the tigers retired one two three

15:29end of a half inning of play no score

15:32and welcome back to the ballpark now here is spencer torkelson

15:42and that one is downstairs and that's ball one torkelson a former all-star batting in the cleanup

15:51spot the former first round pick in 2020 there's the swing and a miss so you can go upstairs a little

16:02bit make sure you miss up and out of the zone since you're heading to count one two don't miss in the

16:08zone because that's where you get hurt

16:09fouls it off still one and two

16:15that wasn't an easy pitch to hit it's much easier to do damage against mistakes

16:27but that's not what that pitch was

16:29he goes down looking

16:34maybe a little bit of overthinking at the plate right there you want to be patient with knuckleballers

16:42and not give into that pitch that's going to dart out of the zone at the very last moment but that

16:47was about as fittable as knuckleballs can get and he was frozen

16:51strike three and that's two in a row well he's got great strikeout stuff on the mound doesn't he

17:03i mean double digit strikeouts in his last start and he's just racking them up again in this one

17:07this guy can really dominate a game out there not a fun assignment for any lineup two outs bases empty

17:14and it's found a way this lineup is going to have to find a way to make him work a little harder out

17:21there on the mound i mean he is just mowing them down he's settling in you got to make him uncomfortable

17:26maybe step out of the box call timeout do whatever it takes

17:29and he'll do it again

17:32fans another and that's three straight strikeouts

17:42so no runs no hits no errors and no one left

17:45welcome back last series the pitching was not good as we take a check of the numbers

17:52on the ground the third

17:57one up one down

17:59aiden miller up now for the tigers

18:05right through there for a strike

18:08and that drops in for a strike

18:14oh i didn't like those first two pitches down in 0-2 hole he's gonna have to battle

18:19hope he gets a mistake

18:20good job to fight that one off

18:22swings and hits one in the air out towards right field

18:30leon snags it and there's two down

18:33and next up for the tigers max anderson

18:39and first offering is fouled off

18:44two down nobody on

18:48and there's a foul ball

18:51i wouldn't throw him another breaking ball

18:54try to go again with a fastball

18:56slightly elevated he just

18:57having a hard time catching up

18:59the 0-2

19:03and a foul ball he stays alive

19:07also really good at bat what i like about this guy his bat stays in the zone for a long

19:12well looked at the fastball for strike three there to end the inning

19:16down in order go the tigers

19:18and we're still knotted at zero

19:21out of the fourth

19:27and here's the tiger leadoff man

19:29anthony volpe

19:30and that's in for a strike

19:36well these tigers just lacking discipline at the plate in this ball game

19:40they're chasing a lot of pitches outside the zone

19:42and those chases are turning into a bunch of balance

19:45can they turn that around and stay within the zone

19:47we'll see but i think they have to

19:49got him looking

19:55now five strikeouts for him on the mound

19:58i can't argue with that one

19:59and clearly he was looking for something else

20:01anything but the breaking ball

20:03it's a great pitch to hit right there if you're looking for it

20:06and kind of a gift at a two strike count

20:07but sometimes you just get fooled and you got to tip your cap

20:10swing and a ground ball and foul ball

20:15now fly ball to right center

20:23leon

20:24puts it away for the out

20:27david fry up now for the tigers

20:32oh for one he grounded out in his first at bat

20:35swings and misses

20:44and it's 0-1-1

20:45this guy is just filling up the strike zone right now

20:48don't want to get yourself in an 0-2 hole

20:50you better be ready to pull the trigger on the first pitch

20:52late that time and it's strike two

20:54the tigers yet to pick up a hit here

20:58pitch misses

21:07at a count one and two

21:08one and ten

21:10and down on strikes he goes

21:13and that's six k's for him in this one

21:16so 12 up 12 down to begin the ball game

21:19we're tied nothing nothing

21:22back in target field

21:25we go to the top of the fifth

21:26here comes tort to the plate

21:28well after putting up a nice inning on offense

21:31got some runs across

21:32this is where you look for the starter

21:34to go out there

21:35have a shutdown inning

21:36don't give that other team any hope

21:38uh you just hope that he can get through this inning

21:40get the bats back up there while they're hot

21:41and that is out of play

21:45so

21:58takes the win

21:59and then trying to hit that pitch

22:03immediately after seeing a good fastball

22:05on the pitch before

22:06just a brutal task man

22:08i don't envy this at all

22:10you almost have to sit fastball

22:11and hope you get one

22:12you can put in place

22:13so you don't have to deal with the potential

22:15of seeing the knuckleball with two strikes

22:17close but call the ball

22:19and it's a ball and a strike

22:21and a big swing and a miss

22:24runoff base is empty

22:26got him swinging

22:32well you may think man that pitch was right on a tee for him

22:39but i don't care where a knuckleball ends up

22:41those things dance all over the place

22:43and even when they pass right through the hitting zone

22:46squaring it up or even getting a good piece of it

22:49can be a tough task

22:50swing and a miss

22:56that is strike two

22:57just missed

23:01cuts out and misses

23:07that's a strikeout

23:09it is season of

23:10welcome back

23:13as we take a peek

23:14at the starting pitching

23:15so far this year

23:17yeah that's fouled off

23:24well these tigers

23:25they're not going to be happy

23:26with the at-bats

23:27they've been having so far

23:28we're in the back half of the game

23:30and they're still searching for a baseline

23:31he's been great out there on the mound

23:33no doubt

23:34but it's also been a disappointing performance

23:36at the point to this point

23:37he's got him

23:38and that play brings him into double digits for the game

23:41pretty electric stuff showing up on the mound right now

23:45i mean in the double digit strikeouts

23:47he should be able to rack up some more before he's done in this one

23:50and

23:50though not many of these hitters have had much of an answer

23:53for what he's offering out there

23:54that's the third

23:58and that chance handled

24:00and that quickly

24:02two away

24:03and up next for detroit

24:06max anderson

24:07swing and a foul back

24:11that's out of play

24:11swing and a miss

24:17and the count is 0-2

24:19well i think the key

24:20i mean if he can get through

24:21one more inning

24:22anything after that

24:24a hitter or two

24:25is bonus

24:25but

24:26they should be lined up

24:28good enough

24:28to get

24:29and he got him

24:30strike three

24:31and that'll retire the south

24:32and we're back

24:35top of inning number seven

24:36and here's the tiger leadoff man

24:39anthony volpe

24:40late swing

24:43fouled off

24:45swing and a miss

24:50with judo

24:51you know he's been so great today

24:53really just

24:54throwing whatever the

24:55ground ball to the right side

24:57but that rolls foul

24:58got him swinging

25:10and he's up to 12

25:11strikeouts on the day

25:13the big first out here

25:15in the seventh

25:15via the punch out

25:16yeah it just does so much

25:18to change the outlook

25:19of an important inning

25:20like this

25:20when you get the leadoff hitter

25:21so critical

25:23and then setting the table

25:24when you got a tight game

25:25like this

25:26so a strikeout

25:27really puts them on their heels

25:28and a swing to this

25:32that's a baker's dozen

25:34strikeouts for him

25:35in this game

25:36david fry will hit next

25:38and that drops in for a strike

25:43right back to him

25:49on the mound

25:50throws to first

25:53and it's a 1-2-3 inning

25:55all set for the start

25:58of the inning

26:00spencer torkelson

26:28that was number 14

26:29yeah clearly trusted himself

26:31in this one good

26:32feeling really good

26:33about what he's working with

26:34and that really allows

26:35a guy to attack hitters

26:36such an important mindset

26:38to have out there

26:39on the mound

26:39especially when you're ahead

26:40in the count

26:41with two strikes

26:41and down on strikes

26:47and he runs the strikeout

26:49total to 15

26:50on the day

26:51well he's going to have

26:52some thinking to do

26:53when he leaves the ballpark

26:54after this one

26:55that was his third strikeout

26:57and this one working

26:58obviously

26:58so he's been a little

26:59overmatched

27:00he's got to find a way

27:01just to be

27:02fly ball center field

27:03Tavares going after it

27:05no trouble here

27:06puts it away for the out

27:08back in Minnesota

27:11now it's the right fielder

27:12Joey Loprofito

27:14and all eyes on the mound

27:16as he begins the ninth inning

27:18working on a perfect game

27:20Boog

27:20I'll tell you right now

27:22every player defensively

27:23on their toes

27:24like never before

27:25swing and a miss

27:27he was late

27:27strike two

27:28they want to make sure

27:29they have the opportunity

27:31to put this picture

27:32in the history books

27:33they're going to make the play

27:34inside

27:39and that's ball one

27:40I mean his pitch efficiency

27:42ability to get ahead

27:43in the count

27:43at times pitch to contact

27:45but the defense work

27:46behind him

27:47that's why he's still

27:48in the game here

27:48in the ninth inning

27:49gets a piece

27:51and stays alive

27:52two two on the way

27:55stays alive

27:59you just don't see it

28:00that much anymore

28:01a guy being this efficient

28:03and getting this deep

28:04into the game

28:05I wonder if he's going to be

28:07able to close it out

28:08just something about

28:08that ninth inning

28:10but being at under

28:11a hundred pitches

28:12he's still got plenty

28:13of fuel left in the tank

28:14Miller

28:14in the box now

28:15go balls and a strike

28:17foul off left side

28:22spoils a two strike pitch

28:29and he'll see another

28:30one down base

28:32is empty

28:33and that's a strikeout

28:36looking

28:36just one out

28:37remaining for the Tigers

28:38that first offering

28:44is fouled off

28:46they're down

28:51to their final strike

28:52one strike away

28:55and it's fouled off

28:58they'll do it again

28:59the idea was right

29:01looking to locate

29:01that fastball

29:02up and in

29:03he just missed his spot

29:04a little bit

29:04but what's amazing

29:07that he's just now

29:08about to throw

29:08his 100 pitch

29:09I mean that's something

29:10that he can be

29:11really proud of

29:12sends it to center

29:13and that's going to do it

29:14and there it is

29:16history

29:17he's thrown a perfect game

29:20just unbelievable

29:21I was nervous

29:22up here in the booth

29:23I can only imagine

29:24what his teammates

29:25and even he
