00:10That's off the netting into the
00:12Cardinals dugout.
00:28Deep breaths for Romero and the
00:32O2.
00:33The netting and back toward us.
00:58It's a good look right there.
01:01Ninety five up above the zone.
01:03Will he turn over that change up
01:04to get the swing and miss.
01:06How about center cut fastball.
01:09Ninety four miles an hour and
01:11Yandy Diaz is disposed to get
01:13home eight coming up Cardinals
01:15lead by two Cardinals TV presented
01:18by Met three six five.

01:29the St. Louis Cardinals and may not

01:35descriptions of this game may not
01:37be disseminated without the express
01:39written consent of the St. Louis
01:41Cardinals.
01:42Jordan Walker leads off the
01:44Cardinals eighth.
01:46It's two nothing St. Louis.
01:48Two runs on three hits in the first
01:51inning for the Redbirds.
01:52One hit since but the pitching
01:54Brad has made the two runs stand
01:55up.
01:55Yeah really has.
01:56Pitching staff has done a nice job.
01:58Would love to get a little bit more
01:59insurance here late though.
02:02Here's our bet three six five
02:04betting update.
02:08Jordan Walker old for two.
02:10He's going to try to change that
02:12here and give the Redbirds some
02:14insurance.
02:16Ouch.
02:19One ball two strikes.
02:21Seltzer's got a good change up.
02:23Use that to get Gorman.
02:27And had Walker out in front.
02:30Eight nine and one on the Redbirds
02:32lineup card.
02:47Another change and take it low.
02:51That was a good take.
03:00Walker wants to think it over.
03:02Don't blame him for that.
03:16The total Ryan Stanek is standing in the Cardinals
03:18bullpen has not yet started to play catch.
03:25He had a dramatic save on opening day.
03:27A little bit of everything for the St.
03:29Louis native.
03:30Had some drama right.
03:32Bases loaded.
03:33Ended up getting the strikeout though to finish
03:35things off.
03:35Shake hands on opening day.
03:37What a nice addition he is for this bullpen.
03:40First of all you get the veteran presence but the
03:42big time swing and miss stuff.
03:46So Walker a full count Scott and
03:51Weatherholt will follow it's Seltzer's game.
03:54Nobody else in the raised pen and Walker
03:59takes ball four.
04:00So here's an interesting scenario for
04:01the Cardinals.
04:03Ollie was talking about the Cardinals
04:05team speed and a name he mentioned is
04:07Jordan Walker.
04:08How will they utilize him on the
04:10bases.
04:10They definitely got some options
04:11here.
04:12Putting him on the move dropping
04:14something down with Victor Scott the
04:16second there the way that he handles
04:18the bat see if you can manufacture
04:19with nobody out.
04:22The Rays think Victor Scott's going to
04:24bunt.
04:28He does and pulls it with him down
04:30the first baseline it's dropped
04:32and everybody's safe.
04:40So two bunks in this series for Victor Scott and
04:44he's reached both times what a weapon just
04:46deadens this thing perfectly and if you
04:50don't grab it cleanly right off the bat with
04:53Victor Scott the second speed you're going to
04:56be in trouble Fortez can't do it tough to catch
05:01the baseball to the man as fast as Victor
05:04when you're on a knee Fortez had to pop
05:06up couldn't handle it cleanly slipped
05:08and fell and now St. Louis has a golden
05:12opportunity to extend the lead to on
05:14nobody out and you've got weather hold
05:17coming up.
05:19So while the Rays talk it over we'll
05:22step aside for a quick word from B.J.C.
05:24Health Care so the scoring on Victor's
05:39play a sacrifice and a catcher's
05:41error now let's see what J.J.
05:45Weatherholt does almost certainly the
05:46Rays think he's going to try to
05:48catcher's error but they pinch into
05:52the corners no sign of the first
05:55pitch one ball who strikes great
06:16look at Cardinals base runners on wire
06:20cam and Busch Stadium see if we can
06:23chase a couple of fellas home here
06:24with a hit really tells you the
06:30faith they have in a young hitter
06:32right in this situation first and
06:34second nobody out letting him swing
06:37the bat they also know J.J.
06:39Weatherholt's not a guy that's going
06:40to expand his own right he's not
06:41going to get himself out.
06:47That one skips away and for T.A.S.
06:51could knock that one down now a
06:54fly ball gets you a run and for
06:57Weatherholt he's got a three one
06:58count Nick Fortes checked into
07:06this game and he has been busy.
07:07This would be a great look at it
07:08from dirt camp change up just
07:11could not get the body in front of
07:13it goes off that right arm a lot
07:16less painful than the whiff
07:17yesterday or two days ago three
07:19one popped up he broke his bat
07:22infield in and drifting back as
07:25Williams is short and J.J. is out
07:43going to go for seven at the plate
07:45he's lined out struck out and
07:47grounded out again a fly ball of
07:50any depth should get you a third
07:51run infield in with one out for
07:54Tampa Bay it's change up after
08:00change up from this guy that
08:02definitely leaning on it it's
08:04been a good pitch for him he's
08:06got enough on that fastball to
08:07keep you honest use it at the top
08:09of the zone and then drops the
08:10change up right behind it Cutter
08:22that time and quickly oh and to
08:40swing and a drive crush toward left
08:43center that ball is off the base
08:46of the wall one run scores here
08:49comes Scott to third Herrera with
08:52a double it's three to nothing
09:01well Yvonne Herrera had seen the
09:04change up on the first pitch of
09:06the at bat he gets another one
09:08and this time doesn't miss it your
09:10Budweiser play of the game deep
09:13drive out to the left center gap
09:15just off the base of the fence
09:17just out of the reach of Simpson
09:19and left Victor held up a little
09:25bit in case that ball was caught
09:27but he's still able to get over to
09:29third base and about her first hit
09:32he extends the lead and Al Burleson
09:35bats with the infield in Jose
09:40Fermin has checked in he'll
09:41pitch run at second and pick off
09:44at third Victor Scott back
09:47safely was quite the stop by
09:48Camonero over at third base that
09:50was not an easy play to be able
09:52to not only pick that just keep it
09:54in front of you so the add on
10:04runs how often do you see it late
10:07inning walks in close games
10:08coming back to haunt you that's
10:10exactly what happened for Sulser
10:12here Jordan Walker takes ball four
10:16on a three two pitch and now it's
10:33it's close Burleson's going to let
10:35her rip and play two balls and a
10:43strike.
10:49Burleson has one of the five
10:51Cardinals hits and an RBI did he
11:03go he did not hey how about that
11:06from Chris Guccione did you see
11:08his safe call I like a little
11:12style ready to dive into a
11:13swimming pool I'm digging it quick
11:15move
11:19golf towards center Mullins is
11:22there Victor's gonna tag they're
11:24gonna concede the run Burley puts
11:26it in play and the Cardinals
11:28manufacture another run in the
11:30eighth it's four to nothing these
11:32are enormous runs late in a
11:35ballgame right now what a job
11:37going down to get a change up
11:38well under the zone the speed of
11:40Victor Scott the second over at
11:42third base that is an easy run
11:45you get it out there so Stanek
11:51was up and throwing now that
11:52it's a four run lead might see
11:54somebody else come in to get the
11:55last three outs and a feeling
11:57Sponson will be that guy had been
11:59up twice there he is again
12:00throwing the ball you know it
12:01been keeping warm for this
12:08scenario got a raise challenge on
12:11that last pitch and it's a ball
12:21so the call confirmed one ball no
12:23strikes raise out of challenges
12:26now
12:28Cardinals got two in the first two
12:29here in the eighth
12:38Kevin Cash
12:40and Ali Marble
12:43here in game two
12:46Cardinals three outs away from
12:48winning the series
12:50and potentially going for an
12:52opening series sweep behind
12:55Dustin May tomorrow afternoon
13:03two balls and a strike on his
13:05busy sports weekend in St. Louis
13:09pop fly back out of play want to
13:11thank our Kansas City based crew
13:14for helping us out at Bush
13:16Stadium for our Saturday matinee
13:20the St. Louis Blues have action in
13:23a little while just down the
13:24street
13:26so thanks to those great pros for
13:29joining us
13:31we've seen a good one for nothing
13:33Cardinals lead it
13:39at the Blues in action later on
13:41the Battle Hawks
13:42played earlier today
13:46and the Cardinals trying to
13:48win back to back games to start
13:50the year for me and the pinch
13:51runner at second with two in and
13:53two out
14:06for the Rays it's been a two
14:08pitcher game
14:15the game
14:22and a swing and a miss that change
14:25up is awesome but the Cardinals
14:27touch him up for a couple of
14:28runs they manufacture two more
14:30Matt Sponson tries to wrap up a
14:334-0 Cardinal lead heading to the 9th
14:354-0 Cardinal lead heading to the 9th
14:384-0 Cardinal lead heading to the 9th
15:03run lead with three outs to get for win
15:05number two
15:05a big year for Matt Sponson a year
15:08ago in thirty nine games I mean he
15:10was incredible getting on the action
15:11a little more eventful than he
15:13wanted on opening day and that's
15:16going to continue around it goes
15:18down and combs a broken bat single
15:20to center so Jonathan has a base hit
15:24his third hit of the series and
15:26he'll take a nine game hit streak
15:28into play tomorrow afternoon Jake
15:32Fraley next Jake is 0 for 3 Tampa
15:41Bay in this series one extra base
15:44hit and that was the Aranda Homer
15:46on opening day everything else
15:47been singles 16 singles in the
15:54opener three more of them today
15:58and all of them have come after
15:59the sixth inning two balls no
16:08strikes that fourth run hugely
16:10important for the Cardinals
16:12Camonero do third in the inning
16:13the best he could do would make it
16:15a one run game should two runners
16:18reach ahead crack down the line
16:21but well foul
16:32wouldn't mind in a two one count
16:34here one of those turbo sinkers
16:36rolled over a little four six
16:38three
16:40got the sinker just down
16:53three balls and a strike for Fraley
17:15popped him up Maria sad third glasses
17:21gleaming he's got it one on one
17:24out
17:28nice comeback for Swanson from a three
17:31one count
17:33and now Camonero is next he's one
17:37for three
17:53Dustin May and Steven Matz will wrap up
17:55the series and will wish the Rays well
17:58the rest of the season then we've got
18:00three with the Mets to wrap up our
18:03opening homestand at Busch Stadium
18:05Monday Tuesday and Wednesday
18:06afternoon
18:08and we'd love you to join us
18:10first pitch Monday and Tuesday
18:13six forty five p.m. central time
18:19first pitch tomorrow one fifteen
18:22local time the gap in left center
18:24for Camonero takes a little low
18:30to race figure out who's gonna hit
18:32behind this guy Camonero's got a
18:34chance to walk one hundred and
18:36twenty five times or more oh
18:38seriously I mean it's gonna
18:38happen a ton there he is again
18:43after walking four times in the
18:46opener he walks here to a board
18:48with one out it'll be
18:50interesting to see two for a
18:51young hitter as you mentioned
18:52just in his age twenty two
18:54season how patient can he be
18:55you know because a lot of times
18:57you see a young player start
18:59getting anxious start to expand a
19:01little bit then you find yourself
19:02in some trouble so now things a
19:07little dicey Ryan Stanek will get
19:10up the Rays have a pinch runner at
19:12first and Cedric Mullins in the box
19:14and Svonson misses inside with a
19:34cutter that's in for a strike my
19:38mistake it's not a pitch runner
19:39Camonero still in the game at
19:40first I think it was a big bat boy
19:42that was taking the stuff off the
19:44field it looked like junior for a
19:45second tank sign him up yeah no
19:47kid Bob is he might be older than
19:52junior out of play by Mullins a
19:56ball and two strikes guys key man
19:58in the game he reaches the Rays
20:02would bring the tying run to the
20:03plate but that's got a behind in
20:06the count and a high fly toward
20:12right near the pole but pulled
20:14the foul well it's had some great
20:18years with the Orioles finished up
20:21with the Mets didn't have a good
20:22season by his high standards last
20:24year and Tampa Bay scooped him up
20:26on a one year deal veteran
20:29player that is a real good center
20:32field popped up again another
20:37chance at third and foul ground
20:39and to around so one more man to get
20:47it's the speedy Chandler Simpson
20:49leg down on infield hit in the
20:52seventh inning nice crowd
21:03out appreciates Cardinals effort
21:04today good pitching timely
21:06hitting Cardinal style baseball
21:09and a four nothing lead in game
21:11two two on two out snap throw
21:30back to second and out two balls no
21:43strikes little tamper pass them out
21:56JJ's got it glove flip off target
21:59lost the glove runner coming home
22:01will score and the Rays are on the
22:04board it's a 4-1 game JJ trying to
22:09flip that ball to Alec Burleson on
22:11the fly lost the glove baseball off
22:14target and it's a three run game
22:16well JJ knew with the speed of
22:18Simpson that he was going to have
22:19time to transfer hands try to make
22:21something special happen
22:23unfortunately it trickles away
22:28that's an infield hit and error on
22:32the flip to first and again soft
22:36contact by Tampa Bay gives Matt
22:38Sponson and the Cardinals some
22:39heartburn in the ninth so Ryan
22:42Stanek will come in with one in two
22:45on two out and now a three run lead
22:50in the top of the ninth
22:58open game he was fired up he got
23:00final out and the save and he'd like
23:03to have a repeat performance here in
23:05game two love to see that again it
23:08did end the way that the Cardinals
23:09wanted to their big dogs got the job
23:14done Pius will challenge that first
23:16pitch on the place this is called a
23:19ball the catcher is challenging took
23:21second Pius with the challenge let's
23:24see if he's right
23:27St. Louis has one challenge remaining
23:29yeah why not use that at that point
23:31that was very close at the bottom of
23:33the zone two outs in the ninth inning
23:35still got another one remaining
23:38Williams 0 for 3 today back our way
23:43Ricky Doherty just out of reach
23:49that was pretty close to the booth and
23:51I was glad I was ready where the
23:53fishnets by the way you don't want
23:54and Santa it's too cold today good
23:56point 1 1 static scattered a little
24:11dirt in front of the dish see his
24:13body of work last season no drama
24:18here Rays have the tying run at the
24:22plate smack to left that's going to
24:25bring home to so it's a 4 3 game so
24:35those runs belong to Swanson tough
24:41luck for Swanson soft infield hit
24:44the base on balls didn't help but
24:46now it's 4 to 3 2 1 count sold out
24:48on a fastball and got one at 98 in
24:51on the hands the rookie just pulls
24:53him in thank goodness for a couple
24:55of insurance runs late so we told
25:02you that fourth run was a big one
25:04as Fortes pushed off the plate
25:09Fortes has been hit enough in this
25:10series already a close call with
25:14the shadows creeping toward the
25:15dish one ball no strikes
25:16one ball no strikes
25:36what was a 4 nothing lead now 4 to 3
25:46that was his best pitch on opening
25:48day he's throwing ninety nine miles
25:50an hour see if he sticks with that
25:52with an even count Cardinals fans
26:10they're standing they want to
26:11celebrate but the Rays are making
26:13things interesting popped up left
26:18side areas might have a play near
26:21the dugout rail it's top the dugout
26:23roof and now the Cardinals are a
26:28strike away though we're going to
26:30get a chance to see all three outs
26:31pop ups in foul territory to areas
26:34over at third where stadium is
26:45buzzing in game two now a full
27:04strikeout Leonard first will be
27:06moving there he goes pitch is shot
27:08to right field past weather hole
27:10Rays have him first and third
27:12they're going to wave him here
27:13comes the relay way to the plate
27:16he's going to be safe Williams scores
27:22on a shot to right and Tampa Bay
27:26comes back with four in the ninth
27:29to tie it unbelievable some
27:31aggressive base running and why
27:33not with two outs right there this
27:36one just just past weather hole
27:39Walker comes up throwing hits his
27:42right there he's going to be a
27:42big cutoff man that hand just
27:46sneaks in Williams never stopped
27:53running and great camera work
27:55there shows he beat the rap so
28:01Tampa Bay with their pop gun
28:03offense in this series it's been
28:05all singles and one extra base
28:07hit they score four times in the
28:12ninth inning with four singles and
28:17a walk so we got to start over
28:20it's a four four game and by the
28:22way on the throat of the plate
28:24Fortes makes his way into
28:26scoring position so some work to
28:29be done here with Ben Williamson
28:31the next batter Williamson
28:41flying out his first time so
28:48Stanek to Williamson to second and
28:53a throw to first is on the money and
28:55that will retire the side so we will
28:57have a bottom of the ninth inning
28:59Gordon Perez and Church are
29:02scheduled the Rays have momentum
29:04they've tied it up the Rays in the
29:11ninth has our game tied and an error
29:14for the Rays in the ninth has our
29:15game tied and now strikeout art now
29:18strikeout artist Brian Baker is on
29:21to try to force extra innings Gorman
29:28and gets it started in the bottom of
29:30the ninth one ball no strikes Baker a
29:36thirty percent strikeout rate eighth
29:38best in the American League for
29:39right-handed relievers last year it's
29:42with a fifty inning minimum he did
29:47anybody's fastball see if he can
29:50connect here and walk us off he's
29:56just had that big fastball does
29:57Brian Baker also has a good change
29:59up and slider see if he feels
30:01comfortable with the change up in
30:02a fastball count here against a
30:03dangerous hitter slider instead to
30:07get back into the count that's
30:21it's been the pitch that's mesmerized
30:22the Cardinals since the start of
30:24the seventh inning Seltzer had a
30:26good one that one a good one from
30:28Baker it was back in the count two
30:30balls two strikes 13 mile an hour
30:33change there from that fastball to
30:35change up squid to the left side
30:46Cameron arrows got it slings it to
30:47first in time and there is out to
30:51close number one in the Cardinals
30:52night Harry is next didn't mean to
31:36nothing wrong with that 97 and
31:38right on by it's 0-2 if we get to
31:43the 10th inning the Manford man
31:46rules are in place you get the
31:47free base runner and start in
31:49extra innings with a man at
31:51second base we're not there yet
31:55one ball two strikes that man
31:57for Tampa Bay would be Ben
32:01Williamson made the last out
32:16didn't chase it even count Rios has
32:24a double today he's got a ton of
32:31room on the right side to play
32:32with on the infield to pitch and
32:36get it down to change up two up
32:39two down and the final hope for
32:41the Cardinals in regulation is
32:43Nathan Church some serious depth
32:47on that good high arm slot
32:50tumbling action to get the swing
32:52and miss that's in fact in the
32:53ball against both righties and
32:55lefties three hit day for church
33:02in the opener hit list today see
33:06if he's been observing Baker gets
33:10in the count with a slider oh and
33:13one no balls two strikes there's
33:37a change up he struck out three and
33:40we are going to extra innings for
33:42the first time good work by mr.
33:44Baker for for our score and you
33:52can't do much better than he in his
33:54first start of the year oh he was a
33:56great six hit list innings for him
33:59and look the way that he went after
34:01the opposition he used a little
34:04bit of everything kept the Rays
34:05off balance the entire time that's
34:08what you want to see him do the
34:09ability to pitch backwards he had
34:11it all going so we head to the
34:1410th inning and the first pitch is
34:16whacked by Yandy Diaz into the
34:18gap in right center that's going to
34:20score the go ahead run Tampa Bay
34:22takes a five to four lead as Yandy
34:25Diaz picks on a pitch early in the
34:27count and the Rays have come all
34:29the way back and lead it five to
34:31four standing his face three
34:34batters and has given up to be
34:36four batters and has given up
34:37three hits and we have seen Yandy
34:39Diaz in this series be super
34:42aggressive early was again they
34:44paid off that is an unearned run
34:47it counts nonetheless and now a
34:50Ronda is your batter Diaz is
34:55taken down for a pinch runner and
34:59the Rays as Brad pointed out
35:00earlier hit a lot of homers last
35:02year and stole a lot of bases see
35:03if they're frisky here not going
35:10and a strike we always felt that
35:11as a visiting team you had to get
35:13at least two runs and extra
35:15innings to really feel confident
35:16about your chances the Rays took
35:19care of that first run on the
35:22first pitch of the inning and it's
35:28in for a strike Johnny DeLuca is
35:36the runner at first for Diaz and
35:41Chris Roycroft has started to play
35:43catch in the Cardinals pen
35:55a round on base three times today
35:58two walks and a hit and out of
36:03play the Ronda hit turned into a
36:12run when Rays had a dribbler to
36:14second and JJ Weatherholt try to
36:16glove flip to first and it got
36:17away up the first baseline swing
36:25and a high towering fly toward the
36:27corner and right walkers battling
36:29the sun near that side wall
36:31reaches up can't make the play
36:32slams into the fence and it's a
36:35foul ball that ball was in the air
36:39forever and that one hung up there
36:41you can tell he was having a
36:42really tough time finding it good
36:44to see him coming off of the wall
36:45looks like he's OK over there
36:56left forearm off the metal railing
36:58up top saw a ball and two
37:10two strikes Aranda will try again
37:14everybody was up and roaring the
37:16Cardinals were a pitch and out
37:18away from a second win now they've
37:24got to score at least one in the
37:25tenth inning to avoid defeat and
37:29good heat there takes care of a
37:32round a high fastball there's first
37:34out
37:41Justin Brule is playing catch when
37:44we get to the tenth inning Nathan
37:46Church will be the Cardinals free
37:47base runner with Walker Scott and
37:49Weatherholt scheduled to start at
37:53the plate here's Fraley
38:02Cardinals got two in the first two in
38:04the eighth looked like it was going
38:06to be a cakewalk tip the cap to the
38:08raise they didn't quit they got four
38:09in the ninth and one pitch into the
38:12tenth have the lead
38:33that's it we saw the Cardinals on
38:34opening day they got punched they got
38:37punched with that six run top of the
38:38sixth inning to get punched again here
38:40late let's see what kind of punch they
38:41have back in this one really helped
38:50him out there two balls two
38:51strikes Fraley today is hitless
39:04let's keep it that way shall we
39:21get the ball up there still two balls
39:22two strikes two two got some
39:28options can run that fastball up
39:30there again maybe a little bit
39:31higher or drop that split under the
39:36zone tried to split her I know it's
39:44early but some of our late in guys
39:46have been pitching behind in the
39:48count in games one and two that's
39:50dangerous game in a close game
39:53pitch number seven for Fraley
40:03runner goes and fouled away
40:11so the Rays give the Cardinals a
40:13taste of their own medicine for game
40:15one getting to two strikes fouling off
40:17tough pitches pinging their singles
40:23and prolonging the innings they've
40:25out hit a seven to five to this
40:26point
40:28Luka goes pitch a strike the throw
40:30to second a strike strike him out
40:32throw him out double play
40:36so the Cardinals will have the free
40:38base runner
40:39Griffin Jacks will try to wrap things
40:41up for the Rays we'll see how it
40:43plays out next
40:47says the visiting team you need two to
40:49win an extra innings Cardinals now
40:51will have the free base runner their
40:53eight nine and one batters coming up
40:55with a chance to walk off as we look
40:57at Griffin Jackson we saw on opening
41:00day a big strike him out throw him
41:01out right there Chevy call to the
41:02bullpen it was Griffin Jacks who
41:04gave up that big two run home run
41:06to Alec Burleson the reaction of
41:08him he had dropped to the ground
41:10as soon as he threw it he knew
41:11Nathan church is going to be your
41:12automatic runner and the Cardinals
41:15looking to just scrap back in this
41:17ballgame this is a team that has
41:18shown some fight early in the
41:19season no reason to believe
41:21they're not going to show it here
41:22Walker took a base on balls and
41:24scored a run in the two run eighth
41:26for St. Louis at the very least
41:29guy to get Nathan church third
41:45here two and oh ball three.
42:06This would set up beautifully if
42:09Walker reaches with nobody out
42:10then Victor could bunt two guys
42:12into scoring position and four
42:17straight sets up that
42:30possibility Victor laid down a sacrifice
42:33in the eighth inning and now Kyle
42:36Snyder out to talk to Jacks about
42:39this bunch opportunity for the
42:41Cardinals center fielder.
42:42Well it's another one of those
42:43plays right you've been running
42:44bunt defense all spring training
42:46long but want to make sure that
42:47everybody's going to be in the
42:48right place right here.
42:49I mean this does not as you mentioned
42:51chip set up much better for the
42:52Cardinals drop this one down have
42:55an opportunity for one swing of
42:56the bat to end up winning this
43:08thing Victor Scott the second on opening
43:11day stole two bases the youngest
43:13Cardinals center fielder to do
43:14that on opening day since Curt
43:16flood let's see if you can lay
43:18down a second beautiful bunt here
43:20and set St. Louis up for a 2 and 0
43:23start 5 4 game 2 on nobody out
43:2710th inning that was to see if
43:32the bunt was on it was and it
43:34missed badly ball one where she
43:45got a bunch of strike and if
43:47that's the case Brett ideally where
43:48does Victor want to lay this ball
43:50down something down on the left
43:51side first of all I just want to
43:52dead and keep it away from the
43:53pitcher so he can make a play on
43:55it but just dead and anything
43:56down you'd love to be able to make
43:58Camonero field it that went in for
44:04a strike I love that angle you can
44:06see how the corner infielders
44:07operate the moment the ball is
44:08pitched two balls one strike
44:18got it down Camonero has one play
44:22and he made Victor Scott's bunting
44:25is much improved and now you're a
44:27hit away from walking off of the
44:29win well we've seen it already we
44:31talked to Ali about it again today
44:32before the game he said Vic
44:33literally worked on this every
44:35single day in spring training the
44:39details are going to matter for
44:41this club and they've certainly
44:43mattered for Victor Scott the
44:45second well Jim Hayes talked about
44:48it earlier a whole lot of firsts
44:50for JJ Weatherholt how about your
44:52first walk off winner infield comes
44:56in for Tampa Bay a fly ball at the
45:04very least ties the game a base hit
45:07could win the game Walker the trail
45:09runner at second church the man at
45:12third
45:13ground ball base hit one run scores
45:17here comes Walker here comes the
45:19throw Cardinals winning
45:22play in the game
45:22the game
45:22the game
45:22the game
45:22the game
45:41Hell yeah!
45:44Hell yeah!
45:44Hell yeah!
46:03You can't script your first two big
46:05league games any better than that
46:07for J.J. Weatherholt.
46:09And the overall style of play for
46:12the Cardinals offense Brad pays
46:13off in the tent.
46:14This team has not given in first
46:18pitch slider.
46:19The kid is ready for it.
46:21Infield is in.
46:22Sneaks it right through and an easy
46:24two come around to score.
46:26The fundamentals mattered.
46:27Bick got a big butt down and then
46:29the kid cast it in.
46:37The Cardinals are 2-0 after a
46:40thrilling victory in extra innings.
46:42J.J. Weatherholt with book and
46:45singles decides it 6-5 your final.
46:48Here's Jim Hayes.
46:50First big league game in the
46:51opener.
46:52First big league homer today.
46:54First big league walk off base hit.
46:57Tell me it was the first pitch you
46:59saw.
46:59Talk me through this.
47:00I was just going up ready to hit.
47:02Honestly I was in the zone singing
47:03my walk up song.
47:04It's a good spot to be.
47:06Just trying to lock in the situation
47:07and do anything it took to help the
47:10team win.
47:10When you're walking to the plate
47:11what's running through your mind
47:12another big moment.
47:14I mean honestly like I said I'm
47:15just singing my song just getting
47:16in the zone trying to you know
47:18drown out the noise.
47:21I'm just going up.
47:24My bad.
47:26We're just trying to log in and be
47:28aggressive early.
47:29How about the bunt Victor Scott.
47:30The second laid down to set that
47:32whole thing up.
47:33I mean I've seen him do it a
47:34thousand times as part of his
47:36game.
47:36That's my brother.
47:37It's just it's so fun to be on
47:39the same field as him.
47:40It's a blessing.
47:40He does you know everything well
47:42and just put us in a great spot.
47:44So you guys have battled back in
47:46two straight games to open the
47:48season.
47:48What does that say about this young
47:51ball club that they're always
47:52ready to punch back.
47:53We're getting our work in early.
47:55I mean these games have been
47:56gritty and that's what we need
47:56to continue to get better and
47:58just play off of each other.
47:59You got your first major league
48:00ice bath too.
48:01Let's go.
48:02Let's go.
48:03Congratulations.
48:04JJ Weatherholt.
48:06What a day for the Cardinals.
48:08They will try to sweep away the
48:10Tampa Bay Rays Dustin May and
48:13Steven Matts tangled tomorrow,
48:15Brad, but these games have been
48:17highly entertaining.
48:18What a job by McGreevy and again
48:20the offense chip relentless in
48:23this game.
48:24Can't wait for tomorrow all year
48:25long.
48:26The Cardinals had six walk off
48:27wins last season.
48:29They've got their first and just
48:30their second game this year.
48:32This one was fun.
48:33Mark Sweeney, Danny Wexelman are
48:35going to wrap it up in just a bit.
