00:12club in the nation.
00:15You play chess.
00:17Oh I always wanted to learn.
00:19Turns out I'm not intelligent
00:20enough.
00:21I don't think to play.
00:22You do you know to play.
00:25I mean I know how the how the
00:27how they.
00:28Chess pieces move.
00:29Д Extremo-на-на-на-на-на-на.
00:29Доброе утро.
00:29Я не знаю, насколько так.
00:31Доброе утро.

00:33Доброе утро.
00:34Доброе утро.

00:45Велика.
00:47Голд-кард.

00:502-2.
00:52И.
00:53Левицы.
00:55Ван.
00:56Поехали.
00:56Рек break for the Cardinals.
00:58Just deserved a double play
01:00to first two outs.
01:04Cutter in tied him up.
01:06Nice play at first step right on the pillow.
01:09Perfect.
01:10Dustin May was all smiles about that one.
01:12Good reactions over there by Burley.
01:16And nowhere for Rokio to go.
01:18Kwon was checkmated on that sequence.
01:22Did their hand use it.
01:23Here's DeLauter.
01:24He's 0 for 1.
01:27Субтитры создавал DimaTorzok.
01:33I feel like chess isn't one I
01:36could just pick up like oh I'm
01:37gonna start playing chess like
01:38that doesn't seem like an easy
01:39one to get into.
01:40Yeah.
01:41Watch all the prodigies play
01:43they start six years old and
01:44they're destroying people like
01:48us.
01:52I did however find the show
01:54the Queen's Gambit during covid.
01:57You ever watch I didn't see it.
01:58Oh yeah it's great.
01:59Really good.
02:00Again if it was a chess one it
02:02was it was I had initially so I
02:03just stayed away from it I was
02:05more Tiger King ish.
02:08Another good one the pitch.
02:12That's your new nickname you're
02:13gonna be Brad exotic for the
02:15rest of the year.
02:19You know you gotta know your
02:20lane.
02:21Yeah.
02:21Yeah.
02:30To pitch it is popped up and
02:33Mason drifts back mercifully that
02:35should end the inning.
02:37Chip and Brad exotic with you
02:39from St.
02:39Louis.
02:41We're tied the Mets and our pal
02:44Joe Buck will be doing that game.
02:45So good luck to Joe and the ESPN
02:50crew tonight.
02:53Jordan Walker popped out his
02:55first time up and takes the ball
02:58again a ten game hit streak for
02:59Walker seven homers in that
03:01stretch.
03:14Another awkward landing for
03:16Ciccone that front foot got
03:19anchored in the mud at the front
03:21slope of the mound.
03:22It doesn't look like I haven't
03:24seen Dustin May moving and I
03:26think he is.
03:27He's just sticking in there into
03:29that clay.
03:33So three straight misses for our
03:36Hyundai in the driver's seat
03:38feature.
03:38Well home run leaders this
03:40season chip who had this the
03:42Cardinals with twenty of them
03:44right now only behind a couple
03:46of big boppers in the league.
03:48It's been fun to see a lot of the
03:51talk is hey where's the power
03:52going to come from.
03:53Certainly this young man is
03:54almost half of those homers but
03:57hopefully that's a trend that
03:59continues for this team and they
04:00continue to play their small
04:02ball score in different ways but
04:04love seeing the early power
04:06returns.
04:07You hear coaches and managers
04:09talk all the time about players
04:11slowing the game down.
04:12That to me is one of the most
04:14noticeable things about Walker.
04:15He is not in a hurry to hit.
04:17You could I don't know the best
04:19way to say you could see his
04:20eyes and feel like they were
04:22just rolling like you can see
04:24his brain moving a year ago up
04:26there now under control.
04:28It doesn't get that one but
04:29still the the approach has been
04:31far better or strike out for
04:35Saccone Walker down swinging
04:38for Nolan Gorman who popped up
04:39the first pitch he saw in the
04:42opening inning.
04:44Got to get this guy going.
04:46A lot of swing and miss for
04:47Gorman might be why he swung
04:49early in the count his first
04:51time to the plate.
04:56Funny thing and I not saying it
04:59is a humorous aside but with
05:01Gorman he goes through stretches
05:03like this and then hits a ball
05:05to left field and then goes on
05:06a two week tear.
05:07He's capable of that.
05:08Well we actually we talked to
05:09Ali about him the other day and
05:12look obviously he believes
05:14immensely in the upside of
05:16Gorman.
05:17Talked about a three game set
05:19last year I believe is against
05:20the Nationals but they rolled
05:21down three lefty starters in a
05:23row and he kept them in there
05:24kept running them out there and
05:25it actually really helped him
05:26because he kept that shoulder
05:27on it did start driving that
05:30ball to the offside and then
05:31really clicked in.
05:32So oftentimes that's got to be
05:34the thought process of up the
05:36middle the other direction and
05:38don't let that first movement
05:39be that right shoulder for the
05:42left handed hitter flying
05:43towards the first base dugout.
05:44They aren't letting him extend
05:46his arms at all either.
05:47They're really keeping the ball
05:49on the inner half for Gorman.
05:53Who's ahead of the count.
05:55Swing popped him up.
05:56Let's on the right side in the
05:57infield who wants it.
05:59Manzardo at first and Gorman's
06:02retired in the air two up two
06:04down in the St. Louis third.
06:08And Mason Wynn is up.
06:10He to a strikeout victim the
06:11first of the day for Ciccone.
06:15Who struck out three Braves in
06:17his last start but surrendered
06:19to homers.
06:23Scone out of Orlando Florida
06:25played college ball with the
06:26Hurricanes in Miami.
06:29And was drafted by the Arizona
06:32Diamondbacks.
06:34A former Amarillo son.
06:38Is one of one of the better
06:41mascots out there right.
06:42Better team names.
06:46One strike for Mason.
06:49If you don't know what a sod poodle
06:51is it's a prairie dog.
06:56Double A affiliate of the Arizona
06:59Diamondbacks.
07:02Trash pandas might be my number
07:03one right now.
07:06Big fan.
07:07Big fan of the trash.
07:08I don't know anybody on the
07:10trash pandas I just like the
07:11name.
07:11Okay fair enough popped up.
07:14And into the seats.
07:15A trash panda obviously is a
07:17raccoon.
07:18And that is their logo.
07:20The.
07:20Doesn't Palm Beach start today.
07:22I think.
07:24I think they have frozen iguana
07:26night at Roger Dean Chevrolet
07:28Stadium.
07:29I was I was packing for our road
07:30trip chip.
07:31And.
07:32While I believe that we're coat
07:34you know sports coat and
07:36collared shirt for this trip I
07:38definitely still pack my frozen
07:39iguanas polo.
07:40I figure we're going to Florida
07:41let's rock this bad boy.
07:47Yeah they're excited about that
07:49in.
07:50Jupiter.
07:52So good luck to the.
07:55Palm Beach Cardinals or iguanas
07:57if you will.
07:58The base is empty for win with.
08:01Two strikes and two outs.
08:03This one popped toward shallow
08:05left out goes the shortstop and
08:08a great catch.
08:09Rokeo had to reach back and
08:12makes.
08:12A terrific tumbling grab to rob
08:15a frustrated.
08:17Mason where Cardinals out in
08:18order in the home third.
08:21Kelly's the good news newt as
08:23well on his way to recovery.
08:25He was rehabbing in Florida this
08:26week.
08:27He's in St.
08:28Louis doing running drills and
08:29some defensive work.
08:31He told me there's no better
08:32medicine than being around your
08:34teammates guys.
08:35Newt is eligible to come off the
08:37IL in late May and he has he
08:40says he expects to be ready.
08:41That would be good news.
08:42He was in good spirits when
08:44Brad and I saw him in the
08:45locker room today.
08:46He told us he'll be headed back
08:48to Jupiter to continue that
08:50rehab.
08:51Work.
08:52Even when he's not with his
08:53teammates he talked about his
08:54late man I'm watching you guys
08:55every single night.
08:56He's digging in he's rooting for
08:58his boys and that's what it's
09:00all about.
09:00It stinks when you're not there
09:01when you're on the I.L.
09:02You don't even feel like you're
09:03a part of it and new while he's
09:04still still kind of a young man
09:06himself one of the leaders of
09:08this ballclub you'd love to be
09:09able to have him around as this
09:10one's popped out the left
09:11should be an easy one here.
09:14church under it.
09:15But you got to go through the
09:18process sometimes the mental
09:20part of going through any rehab
09:22is harder chip than the physical
09:24part of it is.
09:25Makes total sense.
09:26You're used to playing not
09:27watching and we talk all the
09:30time about this Cardinals team
09:32process over outcome.
09:33Newt's got to follow the process
09:35so he doesn't have to deal with
09:36the issue again we hope.
09:38As Dustin May has his first
09:40out in the fourth inning
09:41Manzardo with a run scoring
09:43hit.
09:44Light rain has begun to fall.
09:48Still misting rain at the
09:49moment.
09:50We're optimistic we won't have
09:52any interruptions.
09:53This the final visit of the
09:55Guardians.
09:56To St. Louis this year.
09:58Quite fitting though for
09:59weather day.
10:01Very smart packing a punch.
10:03I don't think that I've ever
10:05been that intelligent ever at
10:07any event to have a poncho.
10:12I'll bet that man schedules
10:14weather day when he knows
10:15months in advance when we're
10:16going to have.
10:18A little precipitation.
10:20Well that's how good they are.
10:21Bill Finley the.
10:22Have the grounds crew right
10:23there.
10:24Check it is tick tock.
10:27Or maybe the radar.
10:28I mean who knows.
10:30So all the kids.
10:31Cool kids would do no balls to
10:32Five strikes.
10:35And out of play.
10:38We'll keep an eye on the base
10:39pass.
10:39They're in good shape.
10:41No problem at home plate but
10:42more importantly always watch.
10:44The front slope of the
10:45pitcher's mound.
10:46It's still.
10:47In very good shape.
10:49Despite a few slips for.
10:51Slade Ciccone.
10:54Wonder if both he and May are
10:56landing in the same spot which
10:57could cause some issues.
10:59Well you know it's raining a
11:00little bit harder when they're
11:01starting to vacate the green
11:02seeds.
11:02This one sneaks through on the
11:03right side.
11:06So Manzardo is two for two.
11:10He's aboard.
11:11With one out.
11:12Let's run St. Louis register now
11:13for the April 18th Cardinals
11:155 K.
11:15You can take a victory lap on the
11:17field here at Busch Stadium.
11:18Find out more.
11:19Cardinals dot com slash.
11:22Five K.
11:27Valera next.
11:29He took strike three in the.
11:31Cleveland first.
11:43Next homestand we've got Seattle
11:45and the Dodgers.
11:47It'll be fun.
11:51Dodgers and Mets play in L.A.
11:54tonight.
11:56Mets having trouble scoring.
11:58That one smacked toward left by
12:00Valera.
12:01Church.
12:01Miss Reddit.
12:02It's over his head and up against
12:03the wall.
12:04Manzardo is streaking around third.
12:06Here comes the relay throw from
12:08Mason.
12:08On target.
12:10And in plenty of time.
12:12Pius made sure he got the out
12:14call.
12:15Valera never stopped running.
12:17He ends up at third base.
12:19There are two outs.
12:22Well with all things considered
12:25maybe about as fortunate as you
12:27can be on this one.
12:29Church froze.
12:30Thought he had it right over his
12:32head.
12:32But a couple of strong throws.
12:35Able to get Monsardo at the
12:37plate.
12:37Now can the Cardinals keep Valera
12:39right there at third.
12:40but a nice relay a solid tag to get
12:44the out.
12:47Seven six two if you're scoring at
12:49home or just watching the game.
12:52And now May has to do some
12:55grounds keeping work as he
12:58adjusts his landing spot.
12:59Alan Porter the crew chief over.
13:01And as you know Brad if there's
13:03any issue there they can call out
13:05the grounds crew to make some
13:06improvements.
13:07And you know they're ready right.
13:08Those guys are there.
13:10They've got all the diamond dry
13:11all the clay everything that
13:12they need to get through this
13:14looks like it's still good to go
13:15in very good shape.
13:17I think they just want to kick
13:18out some of that clay there.
13:21But nothing slippery about the
13:23mound yet.
13:26One Brito with a runner at third.
13:29He popped out to the catcher.
13:37They always worry about what the
13:39pitcher does you got to worry
13:40about the base runners to those.
13:42Banks get awfully moist and you
13:44can get some slippage when.
13:46Guys try to turn the corner.
13:51But the rain more an irritant now
13:53than cause for concern that's
13:56high and away.
13:57One ball one strike.
14:02Guardians have Baltimore at home
14:04for a four game series next.
14:08You know would love to pull one
14:10behind May's back into right
14:12center.
14:15Good pitch.
14:19Let's see if Cleveland challenges
14:21this strike.
14:22Better challenge.
14:24Brito is going to challenge
14:26ABS powered by T-Mobile.
14:28Let's see who's right.
14:30The call is confirmed.
14:32Cleveland has one challenge
14:34remaining.
14:35That's Alex McKay the home plate
14:37umpire put a loom through to
14:38that announcement.
14:39I kind of like it.
14:39What if they have their own
14:40little like competition among
14:43umpires of how many go their
14:47in their direction.
14:48I hope so.
14:50One ball two strikes.
14:56Now the Cardinals are going to
14:57challenge on back to back pitches.
14:59Pitches call the ball.
15:01The catcher is challenging.
15:04A-B-S power by T-Mobile will this end the
15:06inning.
15:08It will.
15:09The call is overturned.
15:10St. Louis has two challenges
15:11remaining.
15:12Cardinals keep both challenges.
15:14May has struck out three.
15:16He loves A-B-S.
15:17Look at his recent and not.
15:19That's it.
15:21Little light rain falling.
15:25As Nathan Church leads off a little
15:27daring for Nathan.
15:29His first time up showed some
15:31dexterity with the bat laid down a
15:33bunch stole a base and scored the
15:35lone Cardinals run.
15:43It's 0 and 2.
15:44Those nachos look delectable by the
15:46way.
15:46I am.
15:47Could do that.
15:48Play to those.
15:50Big thing of nachos jalapenos.
15:53Extra jalapenos please.
15:54Then a couple hour flight to
15:56Houston.
15:56That's how you get dragon breath.
15:58That's perfect.
15:58That's fine.
15:59Be careful.
16:00Little tapper back to the mound
16:01and so Connie.
16:03Will take care of church.
16:05And that is out.
16:07Number one.
16:14Pedro Pias is next.
16:16He's our bet three six five
16:17betting odds player of the game.
16:19Can Pedro put together a multi
16:21hit affair.
16:25RBI single and he stole a base.
16:27Yes he did his first steal of
16:30the year.
16:31First time he stole in third base
16:33as a big leaguer.
16:34He's got three.
16:36Career swipes.
16:37Instincts right.
16:38Can't hide speed.
16:40He had a good beat on Ciccone.
16:43He knew the timing and took
16:45advantage of it.
16:45You're going to win a lot of
16:46games that way when you take
16:47advantage of things like that.
16:56That's Pop Warner who spends a
16:58lot of time on digging into all the
17:01tells and the cadences of the
17:03opposing pitchers.
17:04That's back our way.
17:06And the overhang.
17:09Keeps it away for Brad who is
17:11ready to make the catch.
17:12We're never going to get one up
17:13here and I'm starting to get a
17:14little sad about it.
17:14Now with that attitude.
17:15I know.
17:16Good call on that.
17:17Got to be more positive.
17:20Canadian baseball Hall of Famer
17:21stubby clap.
17:22Here's the Cardinals first base
17:24coach.
17:25There's a little drizzle before
17:26the game.
17:27We walked out of Ollie's office
17:28and we almost got clipped with
17:30ground balls.
17:31He had the machine set up in the
17:32hallway.
17:34Thumping him.
17:35Him and Fermin were working on
17:36some picks.
17:38But Ollie Manny.
17:40He handpicked his staff.
17:42It's the group that he wanted to
17:43have and to be able to work with
17:45these guys man they work hard.
17:47Popped up into the raindrops
17:48out goes Rokio covered a hundred
17:51feet on a pop up an inning ago.
17:53Not as far to go this time.
17:55Four out.
17:56Number two.
17:58Sunday April 26th the Mariners
18:00are in town.
18:01Kids take home a legendary
18:02Fred Bird Hall of Fame ring
18:04presented by the pasta house
18:06company tickets at Cardinals
18:07dot com slash promotions.
18:10You know Brendan Donovan's
18:11going to get a big ovation when
18:13Seattle comes to town.
18:15Well deserved.
18:17Mariners at eight and ten on the
18:19year.
18:20Like so many clubs this year the.
18:23Mariners offense has started
18:25slowly but as the weather warms
18:27up I kind of think they're going
18:28to be just fine.
18:29They got the pieces that's for
18:30sure and.
18:32Donovan want to talk about a
18:33nice addition to a ballclub.
18:35I think he's going to be
18:36perfect there.
18:38Down he's playing third base
18:40missed some time with a.
18:41Groin injury.
18:43But back in action is he is
18:45Sikoni.
18:46Rubs up a new baseball he's
18:48looked like a different man
18:49after.
18:50Carl Willis visited him he's
18:52sat down six in a row.
18:54After walking back to back
18:55hitters in the St. Louis second.
19:00Ball three.
19:02Well you put this guy on Victor
19:04might be in scoring position in
19:05the blink of an eye.
19:11Sikoni's walk three struck out
19:13four.
19:18and.
19:18He and Alex McKay having a chat
19:20Sikoni can't find a way to dry
19:22off the hand.
19:24Alex McKay said you take this
19:25ball you go stand out there and
19:27you throw it.
19:28Or something I couldn't read his
19:30lips but basically said we're not
19:31stopping this thing right now so
19:33go do your thing.
19:34That is hard though I mean as a
19:36pitcher trying to find a dry spot
19:37on the pants find something the
19:39rosin bags going to be wet as
19:40well I mean there's really not a
19:42ton of relief for the shoes
19:47you're covered back of the
19:49mound you have the what we call
19:52the Roboski Al loves that thing
19:54you know the wipe his cleats off
19:56there it is good look at the
19:58Roboski Al says that's the only
20:04thing the game ever did for
20:05pitchers was given a chance to
20:08get the dirt out of their shoes
20:09you're welcome.
20:11Now that roster bag you see it.
20:14That does get waterlogged they
20:16keep more than one in the
20:17ballpark so.
20:18That could be changed out I
20:20assume at a pitcher's request
20:22and on cue that's how the
20:23Roboski works.
20:25Going to need a bigger Roboski
20:26there's some skis that Sikoni's
20:28working with.
20:35There's ball for a two out walk
20:38and the fourth for Sikoni.
20:48Now what's that call.
20:49I think it's a tongue depressor.
20:52Oh it doesn't have a special name.
20:54No that I haven't come up with
20:56one for that one yet.
20:58They cut it to a point though and
20:59then you.
21:00get all that junk off your spikes.
21:03The clay cakes up a lot.
21:05I mean it will happen and that
21:06affects your landing right then
21:07you end up sliding when all that
21:09stuff gets caked on your spikes.
21:16Now those got to be size 14
21:17Brogan's for Sikoni.
21:19As he'll.
21:21Try to hold Victor Scott at first
21:23Cardinals have stolen three
21:24bases today.
21:26Short lead with JJ up there.
21:29And he almost threw that away.
21:32Great play at first by Manzardo
21:33to save an error.
21:36He does not look comfortable at
21:37all.
21:38No he does not.
21:39He is.
21:40Keeps glancing around say hey
21:42this is going to keep happening
21:43I don't think this rain is
21:44enough to.
21:45Stop anything right now.
21:54Victor good job.
21:55Pitch low the throw skips to
21:57second and it's an easy steal for
22:00Scott his third of the year.
22:02It's been a while since Victor
22:04stole the base so.
22:05Once again he's in scoring
22:07position but with two outs.
22:09Well that's how you get something
22:10going with two outs walking.
22:11That guy is dangerous.
22:13Instant offense.
22:22You saw that.
22:24Left hand of Victor skim across
22:26the bag he's fortunate.
22:29To have kept the pillow.
22:32As that's inside two balls no
22:34strikes.
22:35Great look at that slide in the
22:37body control in general of going
22:40hand and then the thigh ends
22:42up staying on the base as well.
22:46It means a run in a tie game.
22:51And for you know.
22:55Herrera's walk twice and he's on
22:58the deck.
23:12I'm sure Ricky Doherty our stat
23:13man could find this.
23:14I know that Weatherholt.
23:17Has walked eleven times.
23:18I wonder how many three ball
23:19counts he's had.
23:21In the first three weeks of the
23:23season.
23:25They don't always turn to ball
23:26four but man he gets deep into
23:28counts.
23:30And he's not afraid to hit with
23:31two strikes.
23:33That is.
23:35Really great stuff for your lead
23:37off man.
23:38It's it's not a thing too.
23:40It's not like.
23:41It's just a young kid or a
23:43veteran.
23:43You have a lot of veterans that
23:44are not comfortable with two
23:45strikes like this is just his
23:47personality.
23:48So that's twenty one
23:50appearances at the plate with
23:52a three ball count.
23:53He's walked twice today.
23:55That'll increase that on base
23:57percentage.
23:58Five walks in the game for
23:59Ciccone.
24:00And again Carl Willis is out for
24:02a chat and Herrera next.
24:06So the Guardians will talk it
24:09over.
24:10Let's enjoy a quick word from
24:12our friends at Victory Men's
24:13Health.
24:14We do things a little
24:15differently here.
24:16At Victory Men's Health we
24:17specialize in testosterone
24:18therapy, weight loss, vitamin
24:20deficiencies and sexual health.
24:21is it Victory Men's Health dot com
24:23today.
24:29Whatever Willis said to Ciccone in
24:31the second inning worked.
24:33He had retired six in a row
24:35before back to back walks again
24:37this time in the fourth inning.
24:45Let's see if Herrera can hit one
24:47through the raindrops and put the
24:49Cardinals in front.
24:5317 walks in the first 18 games is
24:56the most since Albert Pujols turned
24:59that trick in 2010.
25:00It's amazing.
25:01It really is amazing.
25:02And look a little different
25:04skill set for Albert Pujols at
25:07that time in 2010 and already
25:08had three MVPs.
25:11You can see that guy getting pitched
25:13around the young weather hold is
25:15just knows his zone.
25:17He's up there.
25:18He's battling.
25:19He takes the tough pitches and
25:22able to give his team a chance.
25:32So after the pep talk or the.
25:36Admonition it's open to.
25:44This might be the last inning for
25:46Ciccone.
25:47He's up around 90 pitches.
25:49Driven toward right softly.
25:52And playable for De Lauder and
25:54the Cardinals can't cash in back
25:56to back two out walks.
25:57We've completed four in rainy St.
25:59Louis.
25:59We're tied one apiece.
26:02Victory here.
26:03The Astros have had their
26:04struggles as of late really rough
26:06road trip for them one and eight
26:09injury riddled are the Astros as
26:11well.
26:12But the Cardinals trying to figure
26:14out some ways to win some ball
26:15games got a tight one here.
26:16Everybody staying dry under the
26:18umbrellas.
26:19A lot of people have.
26:20Gone up to the concourse seeking
26:22some shelter.
26:23Jim Hayes.
26:24What a gamer.
26:25Dialed in.
26:27Nice umbrella.
26:29Staring right at the camera.
26:32He's ready.
26:32He's ready for anything.
26:34And I guarantee you a line drive
26:35goes over there.
26:36He's ready to snag it to.
26:38Cats have great instincts.
26:39So does Jim.
26:40I was trying to hide the fact
26:42that I'm sitting under an umbrella.
26:43Thanks a lot.
26:44It's adorable.
26:45It's raining hard.
26:46I mean it's pretty hard.
26:47You usually have somebody else
26:48hold it.
26:48I'm impressed that you're doing
26:49it for yourself.
26:50We cut our staff.
26:51You know I had to shed some of
26:54the workers.
26:55But I'm staying dry.
26:57Was that team issue Jim or did
26:59you reach in the pocket to buy
27:00that one.
27:00That was up in the booth.
27:02In fact it may be your umbrella
27:04that I'm using.
27:04So thank you Chip.
27:05You're more than.
27:06You're more than.
27:07You're more than.
27:07You're more than.
27:10Stay dry.
27:11Stay safe.
27:12As we battle into the fifth
27:13inning it's Daniel Schneeman.
27:17who was singled and was caught
27:19trying to steal his first time.
27:32Did your kids get into the
27:33Teletubbies.
27:35Dude.
27:36I don't know if you're just reading
27:37my mind.
27:38Right there.
27:39But I'm like this.
27:40They kind of.
27:41Yeah.
27:42Yeah.
27:43No.
27:43So my kids never got into the
27:44Teletubbies.
27:45That was a little bit later.
27:46And I forget if that one.
27:48Is that Lala.
27:49Tinky Winky.
27:50Poe.
27:50Dipsy.
27:50I'm not sure which one was yellow.
27:52Wait a minute.
27:53Whoa.
27:53What do you mean.
27:54What.
27:54Strike three.
27:55You know their names.
27:57Yeah.
27:57Of course I know their names.
27:58I think we've talked about this.
27:59Yeah.
27:59One of.
27:59My first ever job was at Babies R Us.
28:03And I worked in the toy department.
28:05Chevy Pitch track back door with
28:07that sweeper.
28:07That's a good one.
28:08And.
28:09Yeah.
28:10I'm out there.
28:10I'm slinging Teletubbies.
28:12Right.
28:12So these you know women are coming
28:14in and hey can I get that tipsy
28:16or do you got that that Poe that
28:18dot.
28:19And.
28:20One of the worst things I had to
28:21tell him was no.
28:22Like we're all out of that Lala
28:24man.
28:25And.
28:26You know not always happy.
28:27That's a look right there.
28:29That's that's doing it.
28:30Now which Teletubby was the red
28:32one.
28:32Do you remember.
28:32I think that was Lala.
28:33If I if I had to pick.
28:35I'm pretty sure.
28:37Tickle me Elmo was huge.
28:39At that time.
28:40Yeah.
28:41If I remember you do a good
28:42tickle me Elmo impression.
28:43Nope.
28:44Nope.
28:44Must have been somebody else.
28:50I think that was.
28:51Pretty sure that was sweet dog.
28:53That does that.
28:54Maybe it was ball game couple
28:55years ago.
28:56Never know.
28:58Two balls.
28:59No strikes.
29:00I can't believe you're.
29:01We're thinking the same thing
29:02on that one.
29:03That's scary.
29:03I'm worried for you.
29:05Pitch.
29:06Is out of play foul.
29:12So we've had.
29:13I don't see a green poncho and I
29:14don't see a purple poncho.
29:16We've got the red and yellow
29:16ones taken care of.
29:20Not quite a poncho still serves.
29:23The same purpose.
29:26To one.
29:29Left side long run Nolan.
29:32To the warning track takes a
29:33peek and can't get there.
29:41Long way to go for him he's
29:42playing.
29:43Naylor to pull a third base.
29:49So a free swing for Bo Naylor
29:51here.
29:52Connor Brogdon playing catch in
29:55the bullpen for the Guardians
29:56figure Ciccone he's done around
29:5890 pitches.
30:08Line to center.
30:09Victor got a good job.
30:14He's retired three straight.
30:17Tour out.
30:18And here is a Rocchio.
30:21Well being a great outfielder
30:23isn't just about speed.
30:25It's about instincts.
30:26It's about that first step.
30:27That first step was a good one.
30:29Opened himself up.
30:30Got to where he knew that
30:31baseball was going to be.
30:33And an easy one for the second
30:35out of the inning here in the
30:36fifth.
30:37How about Rocchio's hit.
30:40Swinging but trickled down the
30:41line.
30:42It had a ton of spin on it.
30:43Gorman did the right thing.
30:45Hoping it would spin foul.
30:47And as it started to make its
30:48way to the chalk line it hit
30:50the bag.
30:52Now that's.
30:53You make your pitch sometimes
30:54you don't get the result.
30:56Now I would say there are other
30:57times where.
30:58You don't make your pitch a
30:59rocket is hit at somebody.
31:06But for me justice was served with
31:08the next batter.
31:08Quan hit a bullet to first and
31:11Burleson intercepted that stepped
31:12on the bag for a double play.
31:14Funny how baseball works.
31:17Those breaks always seem to even
31:20out.
31:25Bouncing ball foul.
31:26We're seeing back to back good
31:28starts from Dustin made today.
31:29This is what we saw all spring.
31:31He looks like himself in his
31:33second outing against the
31:34Guardian.
31:35He does it again.
31:35I mean he's utilizing the
31:38Arsenal that 19 pitch first
31:39inning.
31:40That's the most he had had to
31:41labor to this point.
31:43But he's worked ahead well a
31:45lot like we talked about
31:46navigating in all lefty
31:48lineup with McGreevey
31:50yesterday.
31:50He's doing a good job of
31:52running the cutter and running
31:53the four seam fastball in on the
31:55hands.
31:57Had to run one in there spun out
31:59of his landing.
32:21two balls two strikes space is
32:24empty.
32:26Bouncing ball to short.
32:27Mason's got that.
32:28And he takes a little off with a
32:30wet baseball throws to Alec
32:32Burleson who will lead off the
32:33Cardinals fifth inning.
32:35Burleson Jordan Walker and
32:37Cardinals dot com slash
32:39promotions.
32:40New pitcher out there for the
32:42Guardians and Burleson greets
32:43Connor Brogdon with a ground
32:45ball the first one pitch and
32:47one man out.
32:49A Connor Brogdon might have to
32:51eat up a couple innings in this
32:52one as we talked about their
32:54bullpen a little bit short
32:56seventh game of the season here
32:58for Brogdon.
33:00But the last couple of days
33:01Kate Smith their closer is
33:02thrown a lot.
33:03Tim Heron's pitched in each of
33:04the first two games of the
33:05series.
33:06You've also seen Sobrowski their
33:07lefty three of the last four
33:10days.
33:10So something that.
33:12They're gonna have to try to
33:13navigate through this one.
33:18Ciccone went four innings a run
33:20on three hits.
33:23Five walks a career high for him.
33:27You got Jordan Walker to swing
33:29and miss his second trip to the
33:31plate.
33:32And the rain lightens up a touch.
33:36Three multi games in the last
33:38four for Jordan.
33:43And he couldn't stop himself.
33:48Allen Porter rings him up the
33:49ball and a strike.
34:00Jordan Walker has saved his best
34:01work for the middle and late
34:03innings this year Brad six of
34:05his homers have come in the
34:06fifth inning or later.
34:07I feel like that's like the same
34:09thing to say about the
34:09offense for the Cardinals in
34:11general maybe a little bit
34:12later for the offense six
34:14through nine.
34:15The Cardinals offense has
34:17really been rolling a team that
34:18is able to.
34:19Pour on late especially against
34:21bullpens.
34:27Gorman next base is empty home
34:29fifth.
34:38Jordan generally speaking hasn't
34:40chased that pitch they have been
34:41reluctant to pitch him.
34:43On the inner half of the plate.
34:46So he doesn't chase high doesn't
34:48chase down and away there are
34:49very few places to go.
34:51Which we like and he earns
34:53ball three.
34:59That guy is overdue he's next.
35:09Popped up behind first long run
35:11lead in skies to Lauder is going
35:14to catch it and a nice play for
35:16out number two.
35:23Gorman's hit it in the air twice
35:24once to left and once to the
35:26first baseman.
35:29Passing your seatbelts folks.
35:31We figure the Cardinals are
35:32going to play a lot of close
35:33games all year long.
35:34We've got another one today.
35:37Cardinals five and oh and one
35:39run games two and one in two
35:41run games.
35:41Yeah.
35:41And it really is one.
35:43That's where first of all
35:44entertainment value.
35:45I'm sure that Ali would much
35:47rather score a 10 spot every
35:48single night.
35:49But that's where you get to
35:51learn a lot because different
35:52heroes end up emerging.
35:53Look at that ball game last
35:54night.
35:55It was a huge two out knock by
35:57Pozo to tie it up.
35:59Church ends up winning it like
36:01different guys for all these
36:02club have been put in
36:04opportunities to succeed.
36:07Right.
36:07And to to learn and they're
36:10doing so.
36:13Swing fly ball center Quan going
36:15back though too much nitrogen
36:17in the air for that one to go.
36:19And that will retire the side.
36:21It is weather day after all
36:22we're through five in St.
36:24Louis.
36:25Still nothing too big here at
36:27Bush Stadium this afternoon.
36:28Warning track pretty damp.
36:30There's a bit of pooling water
36:31in the right field corner.
36:33So Jordan Walker will have to
36:35contend with that.
36:36If Quan hits one that way
36:38instead he bounces one foul on a
36:40bunt try and that's how the
36:41sixth inning starts.
36:43Quan doubled and was thrown out
36:45at the plate.
36:46That's big play in this game.
36:47Remember he went on contact
36:49slipped and fell.
36:51And instead of scoring the
36:52game's first run he was the
36:54second out of the opening
36:55inning for Dustin May.
36:58The Guardians did score on a
36:59Manzardo two strike hit.
37:01That's their lone run.
37:02They have scattered six hits.
37:10That's first sight of any
37:11slippage from Dustin May here.
37:14On Wednesday afternoon.
37:16Yeah he's taking a second.
37:17Making sure he's got his
37:19landing figured out.
37:23Cardinals grounds crew is out
37:24in between innings they went
37:26out and cleaned out the
37:27I don't see Robosky behind the
37:28plate.
37:28That got caked up too.
37:29So.
37:32They should have plenty of
37:33traction there.
37:38One ball one strike.
37:50That's a game plan.
37:51Keep them guessing.
37:52Use that entire arsenal.
38:01This guy's a tough out.
38:03He.
38:04He hits the ball hard line to
38:06line.
38:07Well even when you think you
38:08he had to make a pitch like his
38:09first at bat.
38:10It wasn't a bad pitch.
38:11It was in on him but.
38:13Little inside out swing.
38:16Double trickle down the third
38:17base line.
38:22Moved his feet.
38:24To even the count.
38:27Lights are on skies trying to
38:29clear up a bit.
38:31Justin Brule has started to
38:33play catch.
38:35And this whole lineup for the
38:36Guardians is a switch hitting
38:37or left handed hitting group.
38:43Ouch.
38:46Quan hit that before it.
38:48Might have hit him.
38:51Look at the movement.
38:53Chip on this cutter.
38:54This is ninety three miles an
38:56hour.
38:57Chevy pitch track and just takes
38:59off late.
39:02That's pretty good right there.
39:03Now you got some options.
39:04You could double up or if you
39:05think that.
39:06Anything on that inner half he'll
39:07lay off run that sinker back.
39:09See if you can freeze them on
39:10that front door.
39:14Wands tough to strike out just
39:16eight on the year.
39:18Two balls two strikes.
39:27Well why do they keep pounding him
39:29inside.
39:30That's because he covers
39:31everything away especially
39:32elevated really really well.
39:35That's why that cutter has been
39:36effective.
39:44Fly ball right Walker is there.
39:47The ball not traveling in this
39:49wet weather.
39:50That's good news.
39:51Quan is out number one as we
39:52check in again with Jim Hayes.
39:54Chip J.J. Weatherhold had a
39:56pair of homers last night also
39:57made a highlight reel catch on a
39:59line drive in the fifth.
40:00J.J. says he's just trying to be a
40:03complete player.
40:05Everything that you can do that
40:06can help the team I think is just
40:07special as a player and so yeah
40:10whether it comes offensively
40:11defensively it's a it's always
40:13great.
40:13But yeah I mean making a big
40:14defensive plays is a great
40:15feeling.
40:16J.J. is tied for the major league
40:18lead with five outs above average
40:21and he's one of those guys chip
40:23that works at it.
40:24He was taking grounders in the
40:25hallway outside the clubhouse on
40:27that ground ball machine or as
40:29Stubby calls it the whole rocket
40:32Stubby's right about that.
40:34If it wasn't for Jose for me we
40:35might have lost ankles walking
40:37from the clubhouse to Ali's
40:39office for our pregame chat may
40:41have been the intent to get us
40:42out of there a little bit
40:43faster to me and I caught the
40:45ball instead of the work
40:48never ends right.
40:49The the elements might say hey
40:51we can't get outside stuff he
40:52says yes you can we have
40:53hallways we got all kinds of
40:54area to get something and
40:56stubby clap what an
40:56incredible teacher he is.
41:01This staff is perfectly in place
41:05for where the Cardinals are
41:07organizational.
41:08Yeah look top to bottom in the
41:09organization they've had a lot
41:11of new hires throughout the
41:13organization and some very good
41:15teachers of the game but some
41:16of your best teachers within
41:18the organization over the last
41:19few decades are all here.
41:21They're all here at the big
41:21league level and there's good
41:24reason for that because your
41:25young guys get here you still
41:27got to teach them the game got
41:28to teach them at the highest
41:29level.
41:30John Jay is always on his
41:31outfield there's always moving
41:33him around Bram Brown I mean it
41:34never ends for this coaching
41:37staff and they love it right.
41:38I mean you don't get into this
41:40if you don't love the game and
41:42love bettering those around
41:44you big pitch three balls and a
41:47strike for the water and may
41:49they made it you've got Brule
41:52ready you've got Ramirez the
41:53switch hitter then Manzardo and
41:55Valera straight left handed
41:56batters scheduled next might be
42:00May's last hitter we shall see
42:10and may upset that one spun out
42:12of his hand had no chance and
42:13a lot or a one out walk that
42:16is the only base on balls may has
42:19issued in the game so that's
42:21encouraging the only one he's
42:23had in his.
