00:32Hello everybody, along with my partner Steve Lyons, I'm Tom Brenneman, welcoming you to All-Star Baseball 2005.
00:41...for today's exhibition game between the Baltimore Orioles and your Montreal Expos.
01:00Here's the defense for the Expos.
01:02The center fielder has an awesome arm, and we've seen him make some incredible throws already this season.
01:18The young right-hander gets by on location more than velocity.
01:23He has problems with his control, so he will walk some batters.
01:27His best pitch is a sinking two-seam fastball, which he throws looking for ground ball outs.
01:31To be successful, he has to get ahead in the count.
01:34When he starts to fall behind, that's when he gets hit hard.
01:41...for the Baltimore Orioles, the second baseman, number 15, Jerry Hairston Jr.
01:51Curveball, and we're underway.
01:54...the 0-1...
01:58...just inside.
02:01One-and-one the count to Hairston Jr.
02:05...not swinging at the fastball, strike two.
02:14That pitch lifted to left.
02:18Wilkerson grabs it to make the catch.
02:22You know, sometimes even if these guys misjudge the ball,
02:24they still outrun their mistakes and make it look easy.
02:27That was a nice play to get over there in time after an initial mistake.
02:31He takes for a ball.
02:33One down, nobody on.
02:36...in there for a strike to Mora.
02:44Not swinging, and the fastball is over for strike two.
02:52To Cabrera.
02:56That was a bang-bang play.
02:58Oh, he just lined that fastball in on his hands for a base hit.
03:07They pitch out, and the runner isn't going.
03:13Here's the 1-0 to Tejada.
03:17They're gonna pitch out.
03:21One away in the top half of the first.
03:26Breaking ball for strike one.
03:35Given a ride towards right center.
03:39Great-looking play by Everett.
03:44Decent speed over at first base now,
03:46and the pitcher better pay a little bit of attention to this guy,
03:48or he's gone.
03:55Palmeiro, first pitch swinging, but hit foul.
04:03Not swinging, and the fastball is over for strike two.
04:06Runner on first, and two away.
04:11Came in on his hands, and he fouled it off.
04:20Crushed to left center.
04:26Not slowing up as he rounds third.
04:31Mora is across the plate.
04:35Number 18, Javier Lopez.
04:46There's ball one.
04:52Strike!
04:55Here's the 1-1 to Lopez.
04:58Hit to the third baseman.
05:05The right fielder, J. Gibbons.
05:17Gibbons swings at the first pitch and hits it foul.
05:21Two away in the top half of the first.
05:27Fastball.
05:28Strike two.
05:36Bears, ball one.
05:44Bears strike three.
05:50We're just getting underway here in Montreal.
05:56This batter has great speed, and he loves to bunt.
05:59With nobody on base, don't be surprised to see him drop one down.
06:02Center fielder, number 19.
06:06Takes, and it's a ball.
06:09The 1-0.
06:15In the right field.
06:16Chased down by Hairston Jr.
06:21Chased down by Hairston Jr.
06:26Bears, ball one.
06:33Strike one to Cabrera.
06:42A drag bunt.
06:45He's just thrown out at first.
06:53He's just thrown out at first.
06:54Oh, they just get him right there at first base, so the drag bunt, unsuccessful this time.
07:00Drill to left.
07:08Somehow he was able to stay inside the ball and take that inside curveball the other way for a base
07:14hit.
07:20Into center field.
07:22Run down by Tejada.
07:28Steve, tell us about this guy.
07:29This is a guy who consistently makes excellent contact at the plate.
07:33His approach is to not try and hit home runs, but just get the head of the bat on the
07:37ball and hit it hard somewhere.
07:40Takes for a ball.
07:41Here's the 1-0 to Bigby.
07:46Let's it go by for a ball.
07:49The 2-0.
07:53Breaking ball in there for a strike.
08:03Top half of the second.
08:05It's a 1-0 affair.
08:13Hit in the air to center.
08:17Out number two.
08:19Number 13.
08:21Rodrigo.
08:29Big swing, and he loses the bat.
08:34The 0-1.
08:40Batista fields it cleanly.
08:42Out!
08:49Moving on to the bottom of the second inning.
08:52The first baseman.
