00:04:54that one's in their own one
00:05:05swing and a miss at one above the zone out there on the mound he's setting the tone early with
00:05:10the fastball
00:05:1098 miles per hour up on the scoreboard
00:05:200-2 now
00:05:24good eye right there
00:05:25well that's kind of what you expect in an 0-2 count
00:05:28excellent job of the hitter to have the plate disciplined to lay off of that pitch
00:05:49swigs through that one it's a strikeout and it's a one two three inning we head to the second from
00:05:55the big ballpark in the bronx no score
00:06:00top of the second stepping up for the guardians jim told me
00:06:04picking up for cleveland the first baseman number 25
00:06:07jim
00:06:13and a pitch
00:06:16and one fouled off
00:06:29next offering misses and the count is one and one our umpire behind the plate jerry hillsdale high praise for
00:06:37jerry when we talk to people around the game
00:06:39yeah no doubt about it boog he's very straightforward very consistent back there so most of the time you're not
00:06:45even gonna think about him that's a good thing
00:06:59pitch misses there and the count is two and two how much were you aware of the umpire scouting report
00:07:05or even who was going to be umpiring
00:07:07not a whole lot i mean there were a couple of umpires that weren't real good
00:07:12but outside of that you just kind of went into the game especially back when i was playing
00:07:17and a swing at a miss
00:07:18and there's one down
00:07:20really good hard bites that breaking ball for the strikeout right there i mean he was able to bury it
00:07:25down below the zone and that's throwing the pitch with conviction
00:07:28good thing for the pitcher he's not gonna miss in the zone and that's where you get hurt excellent execution
00:07:33with two strikes
00:07:34that could be a big weapon for him in this start number eight in the box with one away as
00:07:39he takes ball one
00:07:49that one missed
00:08:00the wind to kick the 2-0
00:08:05looks like a really good fastball today you can hear that catcher's mitt poppin
00:08:10Looking forward to hearing a lot of that one in this one.
00:08:23Ground ball to the right side.
00:08:26Garrett takes it himself.
00:08:27Two up, two down at the top of the second.
00:08:31That exists.
00:08:33The right fielder.
00:08:36Manny Ramirez.
00:08:37Two outs, base is empty.
00:08:38And up next for Cleveland, Manny Ramirez.
00:08:41Not only can he hit the cover off the ball, he's got a great eye as well.
00:08:51First offering misses badly for ball one.
00:08:54Had some cut action to it.
00:08:55Velocity pretty good on that slider.
00:08:58So far moving the ball around nicely.
00:09:00And now it's even up.
00:09:05The wide to kick the pitch.
00:09:09And another ball.
00:09:11No score here in the second.
00:09:18That one fouled off.
00:09:20Two and two.
00:09:31Got him looking.
00:09:32And good work there as he gets a one, two, three.
00:09:36Guardians fail to score.
00:09:38We'll go to the bottom of the second.
00:09:39No score.
00:09:41No score.
00:09:46Bottom of the second.
00:09:48Here's the veteran first baseman.
00:09:50Leading up for the Yankees.
00:09:52The first baseman.
00:09:54The right-hander back to work.
00:09:57Just off the outside part of the plate.
00:10:06Two balls, no strikes to count.
00:10:08He's been raking in recent games and a big reason why getting ahead in counts.
00:10:14He's been able to do that consistently and you see the results.
00:10:19Next offering is fouled back.
00:10:28And he deals.
00:10:31All three.
00:10:47Popped up on the left side of the infield.
00:10:52And it's caught for the out.
00:10:57Batting fifth.
00:10:58The center fielder.
00:11:00Mickey Mantle.
00:11:03Mickey Mantle will hit next.
00:11:05You talk about the power and the speed together.
00:11:09Well, we knew he was going to be a stud just coming up.
00:11:12Making his way through the minor leagues.
00:11:14And quickly at this level, an impact player.
00:11:17First offering and it just misses.
00:11:21Second inning here.
00:11:22No score.
00:11:36One down.
00:11:37Base is empty.
00:11:41So, a foul ball makes it one and two.
00:11:49And the righty deals.
00:11:52Good eye right there.
00:11:58And the two-two.
00:12:02Stays alive.
00:12:09Nothing, nothing here in the bottom of the second.
00:12:15And a swing and a miss.
00:12:17Down on strikes.
00:12:18And there are two outs.
00:12:20Now, that high four-seam fastball has become such a staple as a strikeout pitch over the years.
00:12:25And what's so tough as a hitter is that you see it extremely well.
00:12:29The problem is the velocity and spin rate just happens to jump by you.
00:12:34You expand your zone.
00:12:35You don't stay tall on the backside.
00:12:36And you're really not even able to make contact.
00:12:39If you do, many times it's a pop-up.
00:12:41Now, Reggie Jackson.
00:12:59Next offering is foul back.
00:13:07Two outs.
00:13:11And a foul ball.
00:13:23Next pitch in the dirt.
00:13:25And it's two and two.
00:13:30Left-hand batter waits.
00:13:33And a swing and a miss.
00:13:35Third out.
00:13:36And that ends the frame.
00:13:37One, two, three.
00:13:38Go the Yankees.
00:13:39We'll move to the third with no score.
00:13:48Back here at the ballpark.
00:13:50New inning getting started.
00:13:51Now it's the Guardians' DH.
00:13:53Number nine.
00:13:54The designated hitter.
00:13:56You know, the right hitter back to work.
00:13:59And the first pitch misses for ball one.
00:14:02Ball one, no strike.
00:14:06Kicks and deals.
00:14:09In the air, right field.
00:14:11Pretty well struck.
00:14:13And that one's gone.
00:14:37He's so good at getting his arms extended.
00:14:40And that's exactly what he did right there.
00:14:43You don't typically want to pull a pitch in that part of the plate.
00:14:45But he doesn't allow his wrist to roll over.
00:14:48Stays through the ball.
00:14:49Gets the loft.
00:14:50And gets the home run.
00:14:52Here's Jose Ramirez.
00:14:54Swings through that one.
00:14:560-1.
00:14:57Okay, from here, he's got to treat this as a clean inning.
00:15:00Forget about the fact that his team is now down by a run.
00:15:050-1 down.
00:15:17That one missing inside.
00:15:19Oh, he's just got to delete it.
00:15:21You give up that lead off home run.
00:15:22Go back to work.
00:15:23Focus on this next batter.
00:15:27The next offering misses.
00:15:29The count now, two and two.
00:15:33Righty delivers.
00:15:36And a foul ball.
00:15:38He stays alive.
00:15:39You can see he was trying to stay back long enough to handle the off-speed pitch.
00:15:43But just a little tarny on the fastball.
00:15:462-2.
00:15:50Stays alive.
00:16:02And he chases that one.
00:16:04One away.
00:16:06I got to think that was the plan all the way.
00:16:08He set him up with the high fastball.
00:16:10And then bury that curveball down low to get him swinging.
00:16:13Now, especially with how effective pitchers work up in the zone these days,
00:16:16that's a devastating combination.
00:16:19Victor Martinez digs in for the Guardians.
00:16:27And first offering is fouled off.
00:16:45To the right side.
00:16:48In time to Gehrig.
00:16:50And Martinez is out.
00:16:53Now batting.
00:16:54Number 13.
00:16:59Back to the top of the lineup.
00:17:01Here's the second baseman.
00:17:02Number 13.
00:17:04When he steps into the batter's box, the comfort level looks so high.
00:17:08It doesn't matter what kind of delivery that pitcher has,
00:17:11what kind of velocity, what kind of secondary stuff.
00:17:14He is so settled in there.
00:17:15He owns the home plate area.
00:17:18That's a base hit.
00:17:19So a two-out knock keeps the inning alive.
00:17:22Now batting.
00:17:23Two outs.
00:17:24Runner at first.
00:17:25Number five.
00:17:26Getting ready to hit.
00:17:31Number five.
00:17:34Pitch misses inside.
00:17:36And it's 1-0.
00:17:38Good speed on the base pass.
00:17:39He handles the bat very well.
00:17:42I wouldn't be surprised if the skipper puts on some type of hit and run or run and hit.
00:17:51Pickoff throw.
00:17:52And he's back in safely.
00:18:07Next pitch is inside.
00:18:092-0.
00:18:11Hoog, he never moved because he never had time to.
00:18:14With that kind of velocity, you'd prefer that pitcher work away.
00:18:31Number 13 off of first with two away.
00:18:42Two balls, two strikes to Cal with two outs.
00:18:55Righty to the plate.
00:18:57In the air, left side.
00:19:00Ruth glides back.
00:19:01Makes the catch.
00:19:03And that is that.
00:19:05Solo shot for the Guardians this inning.
00:19:07It's now a 1-0 ball game.
00:19:17Welcome back.
00:19:18Here's a big power threat.
00:19:19Alex Rodriguez.
00:19:21Here you go.
00:19:22Well, in their win last game, this guy came up with two home runs.
00:19:26Obviously trying to keep the roll going here in this one.
00:19:30In the air, right field.
00:19:34And there's one away.
00:19:40Batting it.
00:19:42The catcher.
00:19:43Number 31.
00:19:45And here is number 31.
00:20:00In there for strike one.
00:20:02I'm impressed that he went right after him on that first pitch.
00:20:05That's the key.
00:20:06Try to get ahead in the count.
00:20:07And you can play around a little bit more as the bat expands.
00:20:15Swing and a ball popped up.
00:20:17A little bloop single.
00:20:19So a man aboard now with one away.
00:20:26Batting nut.
00:20:27One down.
00:20:28Now batting Robinson Cano.
00:20:31Cano.
00:20:32Runner on the go.
00:20:34Swing and a miss.
00:20:36The throw.
00:20:37Tag.
00:20:38And he's out.
00:20:39Not a fast runner on the base path.
00:20:41So this kind of looks like it was a hit and run call from the dugout.
00:20:44Got to make contact some way or somehow.
00:20:46Because that guy's not going to be able to steal second base and be safe.
00:21:02Starting to get some pretty good timing on that breaking ball.
00:21:04But he's going to have to stay ready for fastball.
00:21:07Don't want to watch one go right by you.
00:21:11Next one in the dirt.
00:21:18And a pitch.
00:21:21Got him.
00:21:22That's the third out.
00:21:32All set for the start of the inning.
00:21:34So in now for Cleveland.
00:21:36Larry Doby.
00:21:37The center fielder.
00:21:39Number 14.
00:21:40Larry.
00:21:42Doby.
00:21:47Roughing.
00:21:48Back to work.
00:21:51And a pitch is outside.
00:21:52Ball one.
00:21:53He's been pitching well.
00:21:54But going through this middle of the order.
00:21:57Second time through.
00:21:58We'll see what kind of adjustments are being made.
00:22:01Next offering is in for a strike.
00:22:05Left hand hitter waits.
00:22:08And that one fouled off.
00:22:19The one-two.
00:22:23Swing and a ball lifted in the air.
00:22:25Left field.
00:22:25Pretty well struck.
00:22:28Bounces off the wall as he makes the grab.
00:22:31Man Boog.
00:22:32I love watching an outfielder take on the wall.
00:22:34To make that play.
00:22:35And it's a lot easier to watch from up here.
00:22:38Because that can be painful in the end.
00:22:40You know the wall is coming up on you quickly.
00:22:42So you have to maintain concentration.
00:22:45And able to make that catch.
00:22:46And hold on to it after contact.
00:22:49We haven't seen a break in the weather.
00:22:51And the umpires might be forced to make a decision soon.
00:22:55Yeah.
00:22:55I think so Boog.
00:22:56I mean everyone looking and wondering.
00:22:58When they're going to stop play.
00:22:59It definitely feels close.
00:23:01Popped up to the left.
00:23:02Into foul ground.
00:23:04Rodriguez makes the catch.
00:23:06Two down.
00:23:08Now batting.
00:23:09Number eight.
00:23:12Number eight.
00:23:14Digs in for the Guardians.
00:23:27Swing and a pop-off in foul ground.
00:23:32Makes the catch in and over.
00:23:36Nothing doing for the Guardians there.
00:23:38But they hold a one-nothing lead.
00:23:40To the beat.
00:23:42To the beat.
00:23:44Everybody want to go different ways.
00:23:46Everybody want to have different tastes.
00:23:50And welcome back.
00:23:51John Chomby and Chris Singleton with you.
00:23:53And leading off the bottom of the fourth.
00:23:55Derek Jeter.
00:23:56A shortstop.
00:23:58Derek.
00:23:59Jeter.
00:24:11And here it comes.
00:24:14In there at the knees.
00:24:16That's strike one.
00:24:17It's good speed at the top of the order here.
00:24:18You want to get it on.
00:24:19See if you can get a stolen base.
00:24:21Maybe get around the bases.
00:24:22And pick up a run.
00:24:30And a swing and a miss.
00:24:32And one out now.
00:24:34Oh, there's a three-pitch strikeout.
00:24:36He can do whatever he wants with the baseball right now.
00:24:38The left fielder.
00:24:39Number three.
00:24:41Babe Ruth.
00:24:49Here's the left fielder.
00:24:51Babe Ruth.
00:24:52Kind of a throwback.
00:24:53No batting gloves.
00:24:55In there in its own one.
00:24:59Oh.
00:25:00Oh.
00:25:00Oh.
00:25:01Oh.
00:25:04Oh.
00:25:05Oh.
00:25:08Oh.
00:25:09And a pitch.
00:25:12And it's one and one.
00:25:14I got a ball.
00:25:16One strike.
00:25:17Come on out.
00:25:22In the air.
00:25:23Left field.
00:25:24Number eight.
00:25:25Under it.
00:25:25Pulls it down.
00:25:26And he makes the catch.
00:25:28And there's two down.
00:25:33The designated hitter.
00:25:34Number five.
00:25:36Go.
00:25:38Two outs.
00:25:39Base is empty.
00:25:40Now it's the power-speed combo.
00:25:42Joe DiMaggio.
00:25:43This guy is one of the best athletes in the sport.
00:25:49And that's in there for strike one.
00:26:04Swing and a line drive.
00:26:05Base hit out of the center.
00:26:06Another field.
00:26:07And that extends the inning.
00:26:13The first base.
00:26:14Dominant performance for him today.
00:26:16Boo.
00:26:17Just two hits allowed so far.
00:26:19No runs across either.
00:26:20And he's had an answer for just about every hitter he's faced.
00:26:24So I don't think this hit is going to knock him off his stride too much.
00:26:27Runner at first with two away.
00:26:29Now it's going to be Lou Gehrig.
00:26:31He's over one.
00:26:33First pitch.
00:26:35And he just misses.
00:26:36Now it's one and over.
00:26:48Right-hander kicks deals.
00:26:50And that's outside.
00:26:52Two-oh count to a guy with this much pop at the dish.
00:26:55You better expect him to be turning on something.
00:26:57It's going to either get hit hard to the pull side or the fans better look out in the stands.
00:27:04Next pitch is outside.
00:27:06A rare three-ball count here.
00:27:08He's been throwing strikes all day.
00:27:10Got to be ready to hit if you're in the box.
00:27:23The pitch.
00:27:25Check swing.
00:27:26But he went too far.
00:27:28That strike won.
00:27:39And the pitch.
00:27:41The right-hander gives up the two-out walk.
00:27:44His ability to draw walks has been something that's been part of his career since day one.
00:27:51You know, Boogie, if you're that baserunner at second base, you want to be quiet out there.
00:27:54Not bouncing around, not distracting your teammate, the hitter.
00:27:59Make sure that he can clearly focus on that pitcher and that release point.
00:28:04Mantle in the box now.
00:28:06Takes strike one.
00:28:08DiMaggio, the lead runner out at second.
00:28:11Garrett at first.
00:28:12Two out of the inning.
00:28:18Hit hard, but foul off to the left.
00:28:24Hit hard, but it's the track.
00:28:27Hit back.
00:28:35Hit hard, but it doesn't even get hurt.
00:28:39Let's do it.
00:28:41Hit‑
00:28:46Hit hard, but it doesn't even get hurt.
00:28:48Hit hard, but you can't quit.
00:28:58so the tying run it's second and now one and two pretty standard high oh two fastball right there
00:29:06if you're smart to look for something down in the zone but not too far don't want to chase
00:29:11that breaking ball in the dirt the pitch that misses ball two
00:29:29the pitch got him and that is the inning the extra and a pair and it remains one nothing
00:29:47we go to the top of the fifth now it's the right fielder Manny Ramirez the right fielder
00:29:56Manny Ramirez the line of the pitch ball one there
00:30:06the line in the pitch
00:30:11popped up Cano moving under this one he makes the grab one away
00:30:19now batting number nine
00:30:27and now the dh number nine
00:30:43first pitch doesn't find the zone
00:30:49and he deals
00:31:02that misses two and one
00:31:08kicks and fires
00:31:11fouled off he was late
00:31:14really great change of speeds he goes off the off speed to the fastball and the hitter doesn't
00:31:19know what's coming next
00:31:24and it's fouled away
00:31:34comes a two-two
00:31:37and that one wrapped foul
00:31:48and the right hater deals
00:31:52and that skips in the dirt
00:31:57three-two
00:32:01and down on strikes he goes and two away now
00:32:05such a challenge when a guy's got great velocity he's throwing a slider over 90 miles per hour you want
00:32:11to be ready to hit that fastball but that late break just eats you up every time
00:32:15get down
00:32:19two out space is empty now it's jose ramirez
00:32:26and he hits a ground ball right side he'll do it himself guardians go down in order
00:32:32guardians fail to score but they still lead it 1-0
00:32:42to the
00:32:44bottom of the inning here's some real power at the plate
00:32:49reggie jackson for the yankees
00:32:52the right fielder
00:32:53red here comes a pinch
00:32:55right through there for a strike
00:33:08and he'll one
00:33:12puts it in the air out towards left center
00:33:14number eight long run into the gap
00:33:17makes the catch for the owl
00:33:19well on the mound very efficient able to produce an outcome it seems like within the third or fourth pitch
00:33:25of just about every at bat
00:33:28now here is alex rodriguez
00:33:32when you talk about elite defensive third baseman this guy is at the top of the list
00:33:41first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:33:43this guy plays third base like he's a shortstop and he welcomes the difficult play can throw from so
00:33:50many different angles and makes really tough plays look very easy
00:33:56here's a one-to-one
00:34:00this one popped up tome drifts towards it
00:34:05he makes the catch and there's two down that was a good pitch to hit right down the heart of
00:34:09the plate
00:34:10had pretty good timing on it just got underneath it a little bit and popped it up
00:34:19here's the yankees catcher now number 31
00:34:29next offering is down low and that's ball one
00:34:35the pitch
00:34:39foul ball
00:34:49the pitch
00:34:53and that one lifted in the air center field
00:34:57he's got it and that is out number three yanks held in check they trail here
00:35:12back here at the ballpark all set for the top of the sixth here's the catcher victor
00:35:17martinez
00:35:18the catcher and this is a guy that doesn't just impact the game defensively they count on him to
00:35:24deliver offense he's the first guy at the ballpark he's got to study opposing hitters he's got to get
00:35:31familiar with his starting pitcher for that night and he's getting in the cage to take his swings that's
00:35:37a whole lot and so many times goes unnoticed left hand batter waits
00:35:44that one misses and that's ball one
00:35:50kicks and deals
00:35:54foul ball there
00:36:02the why to kick the pitch
00:36:06way inside gets out of the way
00:36:15now all even up
00:36:34swing and a miss struck him out
00:36:36and there's one down
00:36:38that was a really good job setting him up right there pitcher and catcher working together to finish
00:36:43him off the fastball and even though the location probably wasn't what he wanted the sequence is
00:36:48what got the job done clearly late with the swing after seeing the off-speed stuff on the pitch before
00:36:53the batting order
00:36:54so the batting order turns over stepping in number 13
00:37:01first offering misses the mark
00:37:17there's the strike
00:37:18there's the strike
00:37:30there's the strike
00:37:53next one off the plate inside it's two and two
00:37:59righty
00:38:00righty delivers
00:38:04swing and a high fly ball pretty well struck right field
00:38:07makes the catch up against the wall and foul territory
00:38:12the batter
00:38:14number five
00:38:16stepping up for the guardians number five
00:38:28in there for strike one
00:38:37this to center field mantle has a bead on it
00:38:41puts the squeeze on that one and that'll do it
00:38:45nine one and two scheduled to hit the home half of the six
00:38:48games it's the guardians one and the yankees nothing
00:39:00welcome back bottom of the sixth inning now here is robinson cano
00:39:06all these fans definitely want to get
00:39:08involved in the game all it's going to take is to get the leadoff man or even a base runner
00:39:13on
00:39:15the wind of the pitch
00:39:20in the air out towards right center ramirez long run makes a nice running catch
00:39:26now there's one away every day during batting practice these outfielders get about 10 minutes
00:39:32of balls in the gaps they practice this and when the game comes they make the play perfectly
00:39:44no no base hits in the series for him so far and it's clearly been a rough one you just
00:39:48hope
00:39:48he's not pressing too hard because that just compounds things it makes the slump even longer
00:39:53never seems to help never helped me the next pitch misses and it's 2-0
00:40:02and there's a ball i almost feel like he's frustrated a little bit he wants to be challenged
00:40:14and here it comes and that one is in for a strike
00:40:25righty to the plate
00:40:28and that one in the air center field full extension makes the catch
00:40:36this dive wasn't the result of a bad route singe the only reason he made the plays because his
00:40:41route was so good no doubt boogs stat cast tells the same story i mean he got to a spot
00:40:47as quickly as you can possibly get there and he had to in order to have a chance at that
00:40:53diving play
00:40:53just special next to hit babe ruth in there in its own one
00:41:14good eye in that spot
00:41:26two outs
00:41:30and that one fouled off
00:41:40left hand hitter waits
00:41:43and a foul baldy stays alive
00:41:53and a pitch
00:41:57now the bambino sends one deep to right
00:42:00lots of carry on that one pulls it in on the warning track
00:42:04got an order go to yankees they're down one nothing
00:42:16we go to the top of the seventh so in now for cleveland larry dovey guardian
00:42:21the center fielder number 14
00:42:24larry
00:42:26goby
00:42:31roughing back to work
00:42:35and that one missing low
00:42:39and the 1-0
00:42:44popped up foul territory behind the plate
00:42:48one down
00:42:55the first baseman number 25
00:42:57jim
00:42:59tome
00:43:03and here's the first baseman jim tome
00:43:16next pitch
00:43:17next pitch downstairs
00:43:35swing and that ball smashed down a line
00:43:37that's out number two
00:43:39man he smoked that fastball he's all over it it's just frustrating when you can't get it to fall
00:43:44maybe next time up he'll find a hole
00:43:47number eight digs in for the guardians
00:43:51well they've kept him pretty quiet in this series still doesn't have a knock i know
00:43:55you want to get that first knock out of the way maybe more will come but you got to give
00:43:59some
00:43:59credit to the pitching staff they've had a great plan against him
00:44:10next pitch misses ball one
00:44:26kicks and fires
00:44:30and a big swing and a miss
00:44:32i'll tell you this that's going to go on that pitcher's highlight reel
00:44:42and a swing and a miss and that's that
00:44:47the guardians go down in order but they're on top 1-0
00:45:06and welcome back and now joe dimaggio
00:45:10if you don't get ahead in the count you can forget about having any success against him
00:45:15the pitch
00:45:18and first offering is fouled off
00:45:30and that's outside cleveland has some action going in their pen
00:45:34number 12 appears to be getting loose number 26 getting cranked up as well
00:45:43the 1-1
00:45:47and a foul ball
00:46:00next pitch just misses two balls two strikes
00:46:05the tying run at the plate stays alive
00:46:18the 2-2
00:46:21fought off foul
00:46:34swing and a miss that one in the dirt
00:46:37martinez down to first got him one away on the strikeout
00:46:43now batting the first baseman
00:46:47Lou
00:46:50stepping in the long ball threat Lou Gehrig
00:46:53a lot of times you're looking for a guy to get that tying run on base but because of the
00:46:58power
00:46:58you want him to tie up the game with one swing here
00:47:03that one's in there on one
00:47:05they only say it's the best pitch in baseball strike one you get ahead on a good hitter as well
00:47:10he's a little bit more confidence to move through the at bat
00:47:15and he deals
00:47:18and ball one
00:47:29ball to strike
00:47:33and now two and one after that missed inside you get to this part of the order yeah there's some
00:47:39pop there but more likely there are some base hits so very important to be paid this one swung on
00:47:45and hit well way back there
00:47:46and that ball is out of here
00:47:51that fires up the home crowd it's his eighth home run of the year and we are starting over it's
00:47:58tied at one
00:48:11that's the exact definition of hitting the ball where it's pitched taking that outside
00:48:15fastball and driving it the opposite way out of the ballpark you want to bottle that type of approach
00:48:31so
00:48:31digging in is the switch in and outfielder mickey mantle year in and year out this guy an mvp
00:48:36candidate and the first pitch misses for ball one
00:48:50and the right hater deals
00:48:54and the right hater deals
00:48:56struggled a little bit in this one a couple of strikeouts earlier but doing a much better job in
00:49:00this at bat to get ahead and find a good hitters count at two and oh
00:49:06next offering misses and that's ball three
00:49:18and the pitch
00:49:21and there's a foul ball
00:49:42the pitch
00:49:47and a foul ball
00:49:59fouled off left side
00:50:10three and two three and two now
00:50:14fouled off again and it remains three and two
00:50:24and the righty deals
00:50:27oh now this one's high and deep way back there on its way gone
00:50:36his fourth home run of the season and the yankees have the lead it's two one
00:50:41he kept swinging and it paid off well that was a battle boog and he just kept taking his cuts
00:50:47finally squared one up
00:50:54back-to-back homers always a special feeling at the ballpark especially if it's your team that does it
00:51:00and those guys get to slap hands at home plate this is the kind of thing that can really fire
00:51:05up a ball club
00:51:06and next for new york reggie jackson this guy has turned into a beast
00:51:13and first offering is fouled off
00:51:26the pitch
00:51:31and that's a base hit so they get a man aboard with a one-out single
00:51:38well that'll make you feel good as a hitter right there that's a good sound coming off the bat
00:51:43man and as he connected out front and lifted into the outfield that's one of those swings where you
00:51:47just don't even feel the ball hit the barrel that's a pure stroke now the third baseman alex rodriguez
00:51:57and that's in there for strike one
00:52:13right hander kicks deals
00:52:27ball one
00:52:28gonna count one and two i think it was sitting off speed right there because he just let the fastball
00:52:32go by
00:52:43swing and a miss struck him out so he's gotten deep into this game and at least so far
00:52:51they're not showing a ton of signs of fatigue
00:52:55so
00:53:01number 31 in the box now no balls and a strike
00:53:11jackson leads off first with two down to the inning
00:53:19the old one is outside and it's a ball and a strike
00:53:31the pitch
00:53:32the pitch and now two balls and a strike just one
00:53:36one out away from seven strong innings and just at a hundred pitches man pretty impressive they've got
00:53:41to be happy with what they've gotten from him out there today
00:53:50two one pitches in there and the count is even
00:54:05one out there and a strike just one out there and a strike just one out there and that's just
00:54:09foul
00:54:16the pitch
00:54:18the pitch
00:54:18at a swing and a line drive at a right field base hit
00:54:23throw stops the lead runner at second two on and two out
00:54:28now manager out of the dugout now and he will make a move to dip into the guardians bullpen
00:54:33number six done for the day we'll be back in a minute with a new arm on the mound
00:54:47stand kovaleski into the game he last pitched two days ago
00:54:58now it's the second baseman robinson cano
00:55:10line drive and that should be extra bases
00:55:14reggie chugging around third one run in here comes another the relay to the plate
00:55:20in there he scores and they lead by three you got to get on your horse and get to that
00:55:27thing and get
00:55:27it back in because he's going to come barrel around first he's going to put pressure on you if you
00:55:32bobble it
00:55:32or you don't get there in a hurry he's going to make you look silly and end up on second
00:55:36base
00:55:48back to the top of the yankee order and now the shortstop derrick jeter number two shortstop
00:55:55first offering and it just misses
00:56:06runner at second two down
00:56:13next offering upstairs
00:56:23ground ball right side gets it to first ends the inning after they racked up a bunch of runs
00:56:46ready to begin the eighth stepping up for the guardians manny ramirez the right fielder
00:56:53many the line of the pitch
00:56:58and a strike in there movement in the yankees pen mariano rivera the closer getting cranked up for
00:57:05a possible save opportunity
00:57:11all in one now
00:57:15called strike right there man he is just dialed in right now every pitch thrown with so much conviction
00:57:31and here it comes
00:57:35and one and two if you're on the mound right now you know you have to retire this hitter if
00:57:39he gets on
00:57:40base it could open up the floodgates for this offense to score some runs
00:57:47swing and a miss and he struck him out and he's down on strikes for the second time today
00:57:54well that slider wasn't even close to the strike zone and he got him to chase that's just a bad
00:57:59approach right there either he was looking for something else and got completely fooled or he was
00:58:03sitting all over the slider and just couldn't resist the temptation but man really expanded right there and
00:58:08didn't have a chance of making contact with that pitch number nine batting with one down takes a strike
00:58:23deal one
00:58:27and a foul ball
00:58:29this is a very important inning here after scoring all those runs you want your pitcher to come out and
00:58:34just mow them down the offense has worked hard it's shut down any time
00:58:45next offering is down low one and two the cow
00:58:51the wind in the pitch
00:58:54and down on strikes two down
00:58:59back-to-back strikeouts to start the frame and that's now three in a row yeah he's really settling
00:59:05in and getting a feel for his pitches throwing them where he wants to right now so we'll see how
00:59:10long he can keep this streak going
00:59:23and that one is lifted in the air mantle sizes this one up and that is that
00:59:30the guardians go down one two three and this is still a four one ball game
00:59:43out of the bottom of the eighth and stepping in for the yankees with this kind of lead he can
00:59:48swing
00:59:49freely try to hit the ball out of the park
00:59:51do what he loves to do
01:00:04the right
01:00:05hander back to work
01:00:07off the mark there
01:00:08and it's 1-0 movement in the
01:00:11pen for the Guardians Doug
01:00:13Jones the young right hander up
01:00:15and throwing
01:00:20and a pitch
01:00:25that's a good miss
01:00:26off the inside part of the plate
01:00:28he'd much rather miss there than out over
01:00:30the plate where this guy could do some real
01:00:32damage
01:00:332-0
01:00:36and fouled off
01:00:45right-handed reliever
01:00:48and there's the strike
01:00:50well it looks like he's wanting to work
01:00:52the upper part of the strike zone
01:00:53what does that mean
01:00:54top hand better be working for the hitters
01:00:56adjust that side a little bit
01:00:57give yourself a chance to hit
01:01:02that one misses
01:01:11this is in the dirt
01:01:13but why to kick the pitch
01:01:17he swings and hits a fly ball center field
01:01:21Dobie makes the play and there's one down
01:01:26a designated hitter
01:01:27number five

01:05:05I mean those are the ones
01:05:06you dream about
01:05:07ones in the cage

01:05:08you get in the ball game
01:05:09right down the middle
01:05:10not a whole lot of velocity
01:05:11right on top of it
01:05:13and now they've got
01:05:13some speed on first
01:05:14so we'll see if they try
01:05:15to get him into motion
01:05:17now the number two hitter
01:05:18number five
01:05:32Rivera checks on first

01:06:05and that's downstairs
01:06:07and outside

01:06:09have been down in the zone
01:06:10pitcher clearly trying to get
01:06:11that ground ball double play
01:06:13but in this count
01:06:13he's going to have to give in
01:06:15elevate his pitches
01:06:16and get back into this at bat
01:06:34two balls and a strike
01:06:35here it comes

01:07:07and he deals
01:07:11in the air

01:08:06to use the whole field right
01:08:07here
01:08:07definitely pounding him away
01:08:22that misses the zone
01:08:23and it's two and one
01:08:35two outs
01:08:54and a swing and a miss
01:08:56and that is the ball game
01:08:58I'd say these guys really needed to win this game today
01:09:01it pushed him over the top to win the series which is great
01:09:04but when you go on the road going into some hostile territory
01:09:07you want to have a lot of confidence
01:09:09and you want to be feeling really good about how you're playing
01:09:11as well as to your left and your right
01:09:13your teammates
