00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30And it's exhibition baseball. Got on tap in this one.
00:46Welcome. We're ready to go. I'm Gary Thorne along with Steve Phillips.
00:50And Steve, I don't think you're saying we'll necessarily see a lot of explosive offense in this game.
00:55No, but I think that because it's even pitching, I think it's going to be the team that can manufacture runs and just find a way to get extra runs to win.
01:25And he tries to get one down.
01:51The throw to second.
01:53Picks up a base hit right there. And now off to a pretty good inning. Nobody out. Runner's on base.
02:04Gary, they're going to have to be very careful with the runner at first stage. He can run.
02:08Hit in the air to center field. And that one falls in there for a single. He throws over to third.
02:15Now they're just not locked in on the mound right now. He's got to bear it on a little bit. Back-to-back hits here to open the ball game.
02:25They don't want to fall behind early and have to play catch-up.
02:29First pitch on the way. Checked his swing, but it's in there. 0-1.
02:32Swung on. Liner to right.
02:43Fagin. Fagin. Fagin. And that will keep the runners. They have to stay. First and second.
02:52Now back.
02:53We've got a woman down for 2K Sports top play.
03:02Zobris.
03:02Zobris. Get his first look at the game here.
03:06They better be careful, Gary. With him on second base, he can run.
03:10And he has the ability to read the pitcher.
03:13He sends this one in the air towards center.
03:15Crocker. That's going to be a wrap.
03:17Final out of the ball game.
03:20And now we've got a moment. So let's take a look at the 2K Sports top play.
03:27Joyce. I think his first shot at the plate.
03:31A couple guys on right now, Jerry. With speed at second base, we'll see if they try to put pressure on him
03:37and try to start both runners. If they throw him out at third, they'll still have a man in scoring position.
03:42There's a swing and a line drive.
03:45Crawford.
03:47Throws on to first in time to retire the side.
03:51So, no runs. Two hits. And they strand two.
03:54We'll go to the bottom of inning number one.
03:56In a scoreless ball game.
03:58Price is going to be starting in this one.
04:05Leading on the top of the first inning.
04:07Center fielder.
04:09On the way.
04:12This is the go-to pitch for many pitchers in the Major League.
04:15The fastball down and away. When in doubt, that's where you go.
04:21There's a ground ball.
04:23Rodriguez.
04:25And his throw is in time. First out at the inning.
04:28Now batting.
04:29Shortstop makes a nice play right here, Gary.
04:31Good feet at that position.
04:32Gets the easy out at first.
04:36Faces empty with one away.
04:39First pitch. Here it comes.
04:41On a curveball like that, you don't want to leave it up and into the hitter.
04:44You want to pull it through and bounce it into dirt if you can.
04:471-0 on the way.
04:50Swing and a miss.
04:51He was late trying to get around on that.
04:531-1.
04:58Here's the 1-1.
05:01Grounded back to the mound.
05:06Longoria.
05:07As he reels it in for the out out there and left.
05:10Now batting.
05:12Third baseman.
05:13Number 48, Pablo.
05:17Bases empty and two down.
05:20And the first pitch.
05:23Popped him up.
05:24Shallow left field.
05:290-1 pitch of fastball.
05:31Swung out and missed.
05:320-2.
05:32Swung out and a ground ball to third.
05:45That one gets down for a base hit.
05:52A piece of hitting right there.
05:54Certainly they would have preferred a couple guys on base in front of it.
05:56But you never know when it's a start of a big inning.
05:590-1.
06:00Bald, Sprite.
06:010-1.
06:02All the pressure on the hitter right now.
06:12He knows that he has to protect the plate.
06:14Even protect a little bit off the plate.
06:16In order not to strike out.
06:18And he looks at a fastball that's in there.
06:21Side retired.
06:23No runs on a base hit.
06:25They leave one man on at first.
06:27Now on to the top of the second.
06:28In a scoreless ball game.
06:30We'll have the 6, 7, and 8 hitters coming up next.
06:34Rodriguez is due up third here in the inning.
06:37Here's the first pitch.
06:39Number 30.
06:41He starts him off with a strike on the inside part of the plate.
06:44And he's out in front on that pitch.
06:53So he's in the hole now.
06:540-2.
07:01Swung on.
07:02Hit in the air to right center.
07:04Sanchez.
07:05Well on to first in time.
07:07One away.
07:11Despite the emphatic out call, he's got other ideas.
07:17The first pitch.
07:19Plays off that one outside.
07:201-0.
07:251-0 now.
07:26Trying to sneak one in on the inside corner at the bottom of the zone.
07:31But he couldn't quite get it.
07:362-0 on the way.
07:39Trying to commit to that pitch.
07:41Count goes to 2-1.
07:462-1.
07:49Takes a swing at that fastball but doesn't make contact.
07:52And it goes even at 2.
07:532-2 on the way.
08:01Passball got him two down.
08:07Well, this fastball, some might say it's a stealth fastball.
08:10It gets below the radar.
08:11But still effective as that change in speed, and it's pretty slow,
08:16really can throw the hitter off.
08:18Aces empty and two down.
08:21Pitch on the way.
08:23Pitch's swing that time, but it's still a strike on one.
08:34Grounded back to the mound.
08:40Sandoval puts that one away.
08:42The side is retired.
08:43No scoring here, ending this half inning.
08:47And now on to the bottom half of the second.
08:49And we have no score.
08:525-6-7 hitters to get things started.
08:54Top of the second.
08:54Cabrera.
08:56And the first pitch.
08:57Number 17.
08:580-1.
09:00Aubrey.
09:00Huh?
09:08Nine-one's about sky high, drifting towards third.
09:12And his throw is in time.
09:14First out of the inning.
09:16Cabrera is a switch hitter.
09:18Here's the batting right.
09:1853.
09:20Over the on base.
09:21Went away.
09:22Cabrera.
09:23Here's the first pitch.
09:25The hitter thought about chasing that pitch.
09:27It looks good up in the hitter's eyes, but he just laid off.
09:321-0 on the way.
09:34And he looks at the fastball in there.
09:361-1.
09:371-1.
09:37Here's the 1-1 pitch.
09:46Changeup just off the block.
09:48And it's 2-1.
09:54The 2-1 pitch.
09:57Fastball on the block.
09:58He doesn't get the call, though, and it's 3-1.
10:04The 3-1 on the way.
10:07Three ball and two strikes.
10:15Payoff pitch coming.
10:19Swung out of 12 ball down the left field line.
10:22And he's out at first.
10:24What an out.
10:28Crawford.
10:29He'll get his first strike at it.
10:32Two outs and nobody on.
10:35Here's the pitch.
10:37Gets the fastball by him that time.
10:47And he's in control now.
10:480-2.
10:57Fastball swung on and missed.
10:59Side retired.
10:59And a good defensive half.
11:07Ending three up, three down.
11:09Third inning coming up.
11:10And it's still nothing-nothing.
11:13Bottom of the order to get things started.
11:15And here's the first one.
11:19Starts him out with a fastball for a strike.
11:21David Price.
11:29Second pitch.
11:30Cuts on a fastball.
11:31Misses.
11:31And it's 0-2.
11:32Well, when that thing's down and away, it's nearly impossible to hit.
11:471-2 pitch coming.
11:49Hit on the ground over to shortstop.
11:53Oh, and that one eats him up.
11:55Crawford.
11:56And he can't recover in time.
11:58That's going to go as an error.
11:59At the playhielder.
12:01Jennings.
12:01Gets a turn here.
12:03Desmond Jennings.
12:06And the first pitch.
12:07The 0-0 delivery of fastball taken for a strike.
12:15Here's the pitch.
12:18Swing and a miss on a ball off the inner edge.
12:20Nothing in two.
12:28That one swung on its line.
12:32The second for one.
12:34Back to first.
12:36Not in time.
12:37One and two.
12:37One get.
12:39Center afield there.
12:40Number 14.
12:41Number two.
12:43We're going to need a look at the replay on this play at second base.
12:46You've got a grounder that's easy to field.
12:47He's the prime target there at second.
12:50Again, you know, these kind of interruptions can slow down the pace of the game.
12:53But from the manager's perspective, he has a legitimate concern.
12:56He's going to go out and voice it and get an explanation
12:59because he believes his players expect him to do it.
13:04There's a case with a manager getting to say what he wanted to say.
13:06He had a real soothing effect because he's really calmed down now.
13:09He's calmed down now, but boy, he was heated earlier.
13:12He went right to the line and decided, I need to stay here for my club.
13:15And here's the first one.
13:19Off-speed pitch is in there for a golf strike.
13:29Grounded to short.
13:30This could be two.
13:31No hits, nobody left on.
13:40And a good defensive half inning.
13:42Home half for the third inning coming up.
13:44And we are scored.
13:45Heading off the top of the third inning.
13:47Another chance for the leadoff hitter coming up in the end.
13:50Line for second.
13:54Rodriguez.
13:54And he throws on to first for the outflow.
13:59Linscombe.
13:59Going to have a shot here.
14:02One out, nobody on.
14:05He deals.
14:06Fastball swung on a miss.
14:08Stone one.
14:18Hitter needs a two-strike approach.
14:20Shorten up the swing.
14:21Think about going the other way.
14:22Swing and a miss.
14:29Strike him out with a breaking ball.
14:30Two down.
14:33You know what I like about this is on 0-2, he didn't mess around.
14:37He didn't try to nibble to get him chase off the plate.
14:40He goes right at him and just gets the strikeout.
14:45Pace is empty with two outs.
14:48First pitch.
14:49Now ball hit sharply towards short.
14:57Zubris.
14:58He's taking charge.
14:59Puts it away.
15:02Good defensive half inning there.
15:04No hits allowed.
15:05Third inning baseball complete.
15:07On to the fourth inning.
15:08Still no score.
15:11Things will start getting a little more difficult.
15:13Third man in the lineup coming up.
15:14Longoria.
15:15Here's the first pitch.
15:28Oh, and he lays off the fastball.
15:30Good pitch.
15:30One-on-one.
15:35Here's the one-one.
15:36That curveball just got away from him right there.
15:41It was a take pitch out of his hand.
15:43Had never had a chance at the strike zone.
15:45Now the 2-1 pitch.
15:49The ball lifted high in the air.
15:51Deep down the line and right.
15:54That swung on.
15:55Hit on the ground.
15:56Sanchez.
16:03Zubris.
16:04He's a switch hitter.
16:05Batting left.
16:08One out.
16:09Face is empty.
16:11This one's it high in the air to shallow right field.
16:16Throws for first.
16:17He's retired.
16:18That's two down.
16:18Outcoming to the night field.
16:21Number 20.
16:22Two outs.
16:23Face is empty.
16:25And the first pitch.
16:27This one's grounded to second.
16:30Sanchez.
16:32Throws to first side.
16:34He's retired.
16:37And a good half inning there.
16:39Gone in short order in this one.
16:40We go now to the bottom of the four.
16:42And we are scoreless.
16:45It'll be batters two through four to up next.
16:48Sandoval.
16:50Here's the first pitch.
16:52Curve ball just.
16:531-0.
17:00Here's the 1-0.
17:02Hit on the ground.
17:04Fourth second.
17:05Number 30.
17:06And he'll step on the back.
17:08That'll be the first out.
17:11Sandoval.
17:12Had a double his last time up.
17:13Number 48.
17:15Bases empty with one win.
17:19Swings, lines this one towards the hole.
17:22And that falls for a base hit.
17:28Posey.
17:30Number 48.
17:32One out.
17:32Runner on it first.
17:35Posey.
17:36Now the first pitch.
17:37Show ball.
17:38First pitch.
17:38Fastball.
17:390-1.
17:43Swing and a line drive.
17:53Jennings.
17:54And he's able to put it away.
18:00Now coming to the base.
18:01Last time up he got thrown out trying to stretch a single to a double.
18:05Runner on first.
18:06Two away.
18:08On the way.
18:09Ball one.
18:09The hitter thought about chasing that pitch.
18:11It looks good up in the hitter's eyes.
18:13But he just laid off.
18:18Ready with a 1-0.
18:20Changeup waved at and missed.
18:221-1.
18:22Now the 1-1.
18:31Swung on a fly ball down the left field line.
18:35Joyce roams over.
18:37Puts it away.
18:40San Francisco Giants can't push any across here in this half of the inning.
18:44And it's still nothing-nothing.
18:46We'll have the 6, 7, and 8 hitters coming up next.
18:49Rodriguez on the net pass coming up 3-3 due to the plate.
18:54First pitch on the way.
18:56Fastball just misses.
18:571-0.
19:02Now the 1-0 pitch.
19:061-1.
19:131-1 pitch.
19:14That big breaker gets by and the count goes to 1-2.
19:24The 1-2 on its way.
19:26Here's a swing and a fly ball to right center.
19:30Sanchez.
19:30Able to make the grab on that one.
19:321-0.
19:34And let's take a look now at our 2K Sports top play.
19:37Molina.
19:40Molina steps in now.
19:42Base is empty.
19:451-0.
19:46First pitch to him.
19:49Slider just misses.
19:501-0.
19:571-0 now.
20:01Smash towards the hole.
20:03Sanchez.
20:04And he puts that one away for number two.
20:06Up to the plate.
20:07Shortstop.
20:08Number one.
20:10Aces empty and two down.
20:11Regan.
20:13The pitch.
20:15Type one.
20:26Second pitch.
20:27Waves and fastball.
20:28And suddenly it's strike two.
20:29Fastball slung out and missed.
20:39And the sides are tied.
20:45And they are retired in short order.
20:47Good defensive half inning.
20:48At the top of the fifth over.
20:49Let's move on to the home half of the inning.
20:51And we are scoreless.
20:54Looking ahead.
20:55Six out of the inning.
20:55They're due up.
20:57Cabrera.
20:57Number 50.
20:58First pitch.

21:24Strung out swinging last time.
21:26Crawford.

21:43Gets the fastball by him that time.
21:45And he's in control now.
21:470-2.
21:472-0.
21:49Jennings.
22:02The catch is made.
22:03And that's out number two.
22:05Stepping up to the plate.
22:08We've got a moment here for 2K Sports top play.
22:13Shearholtz.
22:14Grounded out his last time through.
22:16Two out spaces empty.
22:18He delivers.
22:21First pitch.
22:22Fastball.
22:230-1.
22:321-1.
22:330-1 as a fastball inside.
22:36That'll even the counter win.
22:400-1-1.
22:43Swings.
22:43Pops it up in the infield.
22:46Lovers.
22:46And he throws on to first.
22:48That'll retire the side.
22:52No runs.
22:53No hits.
22:54Nobody crossed the plate in this half inning.
22:55And nobody left on bait.
22:57We're through five here at the yard.
22:59Tied at zero.
23:00And if you're just joining in.
23:02Hi, everybody.
23:02This is Gary Thorne.
23:03I belong to Steve Phillips.
23:04Major League Baseball on 2K Sports.
23:08End of the order.
23:09Ready to do some work at the plate.
23:11Upton.
23:12Swings at that fastball.
23:13And misses.
23:140-1.
23:16Second.
23:17That's that breaker through on the second pitch during strike two.
23:26He's out!
23:28Fastball.
23:28Swing out.
23:29And he's struggling out from the right.
23:30Number eight.
23:34A good sequence of pitches right there using location and selection to get the strikeout.
23:41Jennings.
23:46Base is empty with one away.
23:49First pitch.
23:50Now here's a grounder towards the hole.
23:56Take it.
23:57As he hauls it in.
24:01Gary, he just continues to mow this lineup down.
24:05We're talking about 11 hitters in a row.
24:07Retired.
24:08Now a check swing here.
24:10They want to confirm that down at first.
24:12Did he go?
24:13No go is the call.
24:15So he'll dig back in again.
24:17Here's the 1-0.
24:18He sends this one in the air towards center.
24:22Crawford.
24:25Throws on the fourth side.
24:26It's retired.
24:31Tampa Bay Rays.
24:32They shut down again.
24:33That's six shutout innings so far.
24:35Six inning baseball on 2K Sports.
24:38We move to the bottom half.
24:39And our score zips it.
24:42End of the order.
24:42He's going to try and kick it off offensively.
24:45Dagan.
24:46Curveball.
24:47Swung on and missed.
24:48Now it's 0-1.
24:52The pitch.
24:55Takes something off that time.
24:56In control with the count now.
24:570-2.
25:06He's out there.
25:06Big swing and a miss on a hater.
25:08Strike him out.
25:09Well down.
25:09Number 16.
25:13The manager likes to see that.
25:14Three pitches and you send him back to the bench.
25:16You love to dominate hitter.
25:17Really never got a chance to even get started.
25:20Dagan.
25:21Lined out in his last at bat.
25:24Base is empty.
25:24One out.
25:25Now the first pitch.
25:28Now the first pitch.
25:29Oh and one.
25:41There's a swing and a ground ball.
25:43Number one.
25:44Oh it's bobbled.
25:48He could make a video on how to field his position.
25:51He gets over and makes it look easy.
25:53Solid fundamentals.
25:54Out at first base.
25:55Bank chair.
25:56Here's the first one.
25:58That catches the high outside corner for a strike.
26:00On the ground to short.
26:10Two strikes.
26:16Ground ball.

42:37the one two on its way
42:44he's out of there
42:46fastball swung out and missed strug him out one away
42:52well this fastball some might say it's a stealth fastball it gets below the radar
42:57but still effective as that change in speed and it's pretty slow really can throw the hitter off
43:04one out nobody on here's the first pitch
43:10sliders in there no balls and a strike
43:19just couldn't get the hitter to chase that fastball down and away
43:22now the one one pitch

43:38he deals
43:41he swings and nails a liner
43:43in there Sanchez
43:50that's some kind of play right there to be able to get to the ball quickly transfer to your
43:54throwing hand and rifle it over the first base to get the runner nice play
43:59here's the first pitch
44:02the hitter lays off this pitch realizing you can't do much when you get that kind of four seam fastball
44:07down and away it's tough to get
44:12second pitch cuts on a fastball misses and it's 0-2
44:23struck him out so they'll go to work see if they can't win it in the bottom half
44:31the tampa bay rays still can't push across

46:05bottom sharply hit ball towards second
46:09that one falls in there for a base hit
46:17you can't give up an inning you've got two outs but you do anything you can to get on base now that
46:21he's on let's see if they get that go ahead run around
46:23two outs and a man on first
46:28and he's back easily made a dive to get in
46:31two outs and a man on first
46:34first pitch here it comes

47:20runner on first no out
47:23the pitch
47:26check swing is made and they call it a strike they're gonna ask for the appeal to go to the first
47:31base umpire
47:34just a little too much on the swing the strike is called
47:39lined up the middle
47:49and that one's gonna be a candidate for play of the week steve
47:52but you talk about shifting momentum you get the ground ball double play and all of a sudden you're
47:56back in the dugout ready to hit
47:58longoria ground out victim last time through
48:02two outs and nobody on first pitch on the way
48:07passes on that low outside pitch 1-0

48:21crofford
48:21on his knees got him what a throw

49:55and in the air base hit
49:57number two by boots it
50:01stepping up to the plate here's a look at the air this is a bad
50:05sometimes they just get away from him and it looks like that's what happened
50:07now it's part of the game but oftentimes throwing errors are more about your footwork than your arm
50:13runner on first base nobody out
50:17kicks and throws
50:20trying to run that four-seam fastball up and away from the hitter
50:24but just didn't get enough of the zone
