00:00:19hello and welcome thanks for joining us the show has an al east matchup it's the baltimore
00:00:26orioles going up against the new york yankees with my partner chris singleton i'm john chompey
00:00:32a couple of top level power arms on the mound today singing well with these arms you expect
00:00:37a low scoring ball game and i think it's going to come down to which pitcher makes the least
00:00:42amount of mistakes and we'll be back for the first pitch right after this
00:00:56just about set to go now now the starting pitcher in this one jack crespo there's always a bit of
00:01:03a learning curve for rookie pitchers you've got to get familiar with these big league hitters and
00:01:07it's more of a chess match but i think this kid's got good stuff and the potential to be great
00:01:11ready
00:01:12for baseball here in new york now at the plate number six the right number six
00:01:19the pitch
00:01:23line drive and a base hit solo runner aboard to start the inning
00:01:32didn't take long to get a result for that at bat nice job of driving that pitch the other way
00:01:36on a
00:01:37line you know hitters they take so many reps in the cages working on going to the opposite field and
00:01:42it
00:01:42doesn't always translate into the game but right there it did and he did it perfectly and now
00:01:46they've got some speed on first so we'll see if they try to get him into motion next to hit
00:01:51brian
00:01:51roberts
00:01:52and the right hater deals
00:02:10there's a strike this is one of those situations the infielders have to pre-plan and understand that
00:02:16the ball is going to be hit extremely hard right at them if they're going to have a chance to
00:02:20go for a
00:02:20double play
00:02:29going to now that one missed his understanding the strike zone very impressive that was a very close
00:02:360-2 fastball i just don't know how you take that
00:02:43one two now
00:02:45yeah the one two misses to even the count really good take especially with two strikes
00:02:532-2 now
00:02:55swing and a miss and he got him
00:02:57and one gone tell you what those are the types of guys pitchers really like to punch out when they're
00:03:02on the mound
00:03:03because if they get on just the distraction that they create with all that speed over on the base pass
00:03:09it can take away your focus from the next hitter and that's the last thing you want to do is
00:03:14serve up
00:03:14a pitch that a guy hits over the fence and it's a multi-run home run
00:03:20and now here is frank robinson first pitch and he just misses
00:03:32number six over at first with one away
00:03:39next one misses now two and oh good speed on the base pass he handles the bat
00:03:45very well i wouldn't be surprised if the skipper puts on some type of hit and run or run and
00:03:51hit
00:03:59now move to first and he's back in there
00:04:13next offering is down low
00:04:30that one at the knees for a strike that's a great take right there even though it's a strike
00:04:35with the situation runner on first base you want to keep the ball off the ground and you swing at
00:04:40that pitch most likely you roll into a double play swing and a miss and it's a full count now
00:04:49and the righty deals
00:04:52back up the middle of the base hit
00:04:55throw into third and they'll have runners at the corners after a one-ounce single
00:05:02just a very nice approach and swing right there to use the big part of the field
00:05:06everything was on time he stayed balanced through the entire swing and just launched that one into
00:05:11center runners on the corners with one gone and here is eddie murray a guy who makes an impact not
00:05:18just at the plate but also in the field
00:05:33the pitch and that one clips the corner big pitch right here he's going to try to make a pitch
00:05:39it's
00:05:40a strikeout or a ground ball double play
00:05:45first and third one down
00:05:53and a foul baldy stays alive
00:06:07got him swinging two gone now
00:06:12definitely a strikeout situation right there and he got it you do not want him to put the ball in
00:06:16play
00:06:17and want to strand that runner at third now all he needs is one more out to get it doesn't
00:06:22have to be a
00:06:22strikeout this time since now they're two outs cal ripton jr the next to hit for the orioles
00:06:30first offering misses the mark we'll always know cal ripkin for the streak but he was about
00:06:35so much more than that he really changed the way we think about the shortstop position
00:06:48the next offering misses and that's ball two
00:06:55two on two outs on the ground right side cano picks it up they get the force and that is
00:07:03the
00:07:04third out of the inning and now the bombers will get their shot no score
00:07:13bottom of the first showing the slab in today's game urban well he tried to make it through the
00:07:20fifth inning last time out but the pitch count just got too high he ended up taking the loss that's
00:07:25one
00:07:25of those you just have to shake it off come back out today and try to throw a gym
00:07:31back in the bronx and the batter will be the shortstop derrick cheater for the yankee when ripkin came along
00:07:39he was not in the mold of a traditional shortstop he was a big strong guy his offense was just
00:07:45as
00:07:45strong as his fielding though and he had some pop swing and a miss 4-1
00:08:11foul ball
00:08:12foul ball
00:08:13out there
00:08:21righty to the play
00:08:26stays alive
00:08:34the pitch
00:08:39swings and misses now one away well clearly just anxious right there and understandably so in an
00:08:460-2 count you feel like you've got a lot of plate to cover and you don't want to strike
00:08:51out and you
00:08:52end up striking out that's just one of those pitches where it's not over the plate but because
00:08:56you committed to it as it was leaving his hand by the time you realized it wasn't going to be
00:09:00in the
00:09:01zone it's too late to hold up your swing yeah the batter now Joe DiMaggio in the first pitch misses
00:09:07for ball one there's a swing and a miss wow no fair right there I mean that slider didn't move
00:09:27to the
00:09:27very last moment incredibly difficult to pick that up just kind of have to tip your cap on that pitch
00:09:34next offering upstairs that's where you want it's a good miss
00:09:57next pitch misses and a count is three and a one
00:10:13one foul ball there
00:10:24kicks and deals
00:10:28foul off again and it remains three and two
00:10:42ripped but it curls foul
00:10:49eighth pitch of the at-bat coming up
00:10:55the three two is off the outside edge and that is ball four I don't think he really wanted to
00:11:01pitch
00:11:02to him right there anyhow
00:11:04babe ruth stepping in now for the yankees
00:11:08he's not going to get cheated up there no he's not he's looking to do damage with every swing he
00:11:14takes
00:11:26and the first offering is not close maybe losing command a little bit after the walk next pitch not even
00:11:33close
00:11:43at the belt and fires
00:11:45at the belt and fires
00:12:05swings through that one for strike two
00:12:07cold night tonight boog and that's a pretty firm fastball right there I tell you what
00:12:12memories of getting jammed they are creeping into my mind right now
00:12:16and a foul ball he stays alive
00:12:31meanwhile this pitch gets away tag safe at second and good hustle to move up that's a wild pitch
00:12:48left hand batter waits
00:12:50stays alive
00:12:57one out and a runner at second
00:13:03got him
00:13:04and there's two away
00:13:10well he should get some fist bumps when he gets back into the dugout because even though he strikes out
00:13:15he saw a lot of pitches and he battled and this is a long haul where you're trying to get
00:13:21that pitch count up as early as possible so gave the guys behind him an opportunity to see what's working
00:13:27for this pitcher or not but I tell you what it's a nice job right there
00:13:30Lou Gehrig looks at one outside there
00:13:49one pushed foul
00:13:52well he got challenged with a good fastball right there just couldn't catch up
00:14:02runner
00:14:03runner leads away at second
00:14:04swings and misses
00:14:06in the count one and two
00:14:11DiMaggio on at second with two down
00:14:17next offering way off the plate
00:14:24man at second
00:14:26man at second
00:14:27that's down and in
00:14:27good slider down and in can be so hard to get on playing with you're better off taking that pitch
00:14:41swing and a foul ball at the plate they'll do it again
00:14:50and a three-two
00:14:52foul off again
00:14:54and it remains three and two
00:14:58good battle here about to be the eighth pitch of the at bat
00:15:04the three-two is off the outside edge and that is ball four
00:15:09well that's a nice job of grinding out that at bat saw a lot of pitches and ends up drawing
00:15:13the walk very gritty
00:15:16now it's the veteran outfielder Mickey Mantle
00:15:22first pitch doesn't find the zone
00:15:25one ball
00:15:26two outs
00:15:33couple of base runners at first and second
00:15:41high fly ball down the left field line
00:15:44flashes the leather on the running catch
00:15:47and that's the inning
00:15:48yank strand a pair
00:15:50scoreless after one
00:16:01back here in New York second inning set to go
00:16:04and the batter now Ken Williams
00:16:06the designated hitter
00:16:08obviously a guy who makes good contact
00:16:10hits for average
00:16:11but one of the things in today's game the value
00:16:13and the fact that he hits both righties and lefties
00:16:16and that one fouled off
00:16:25right-hander kicks deals
00:16:29center field
00:16:31mantle gets under it
00:16:34and puts the squeeze on that
00:16:36one up one down
00:16:41batting seven
00:16:42the third baseman number five
00:16:44Brooks Robinson
00:16:47so next to hit for Baltimore
00:16:48Brooks Robinson
00:16:50this guy has turned into a beast
00:17:00pitch misses inside
00:17:01and that's ball one
00:17:03well he's so great about hitting the ball the other way
00:17:05he gets those arms extended
00:17:07so right there just trying to straighten him up a little bit
00:17:10so he doesn't have as much outside plate coverage
00:17:13Clyde Washington doing the umpiring behind the dish in this one
00:17:16sometimes considered a bit of a pitcher's umpire singing
00:17:19he likes the low ball which traditionally favors pitching
00:17:23but you know hitters today are pretty good at dropping their barrel down
00:17:26so we'll see how it goes in this one
00:17:28in plenty of time to first
00:17:31Robinson retire
00:17:33batting eight
00:17:35the center fielder
00:17:36Adam
00:17:37Joe
00:17:39Adam Jones
00:17:41digs in now
00:17:42we talk about guys with good speed
00:17:45and definitely he has it
00:17:47but pushing the offensive side
00:17:48for just a second Chris
00:17:50it's the defensive side that I think the speed factors in the most
00:17:55line drive
00:17:57base hit
00:17:57and that's going to get into the corner
00:18:00Jackson
00:18:00throws to second
00:18:02not in time
00:18:03he's safe
00:18:04you got to get on your horse
00:18:06and get to that thing
00:18:07and get it back in
00:18:08because he's going to come barrel around first
00:18:10he's going to put pressure on you
00:18:11if you bobble it
00:18:12or you don't get there in a hurry
00:18:14he's going to make you look silly
00:18:15and end up on second base
00:18:22now the Orioles catcher
00:18:24number 13
00:18:30in there and it's own one
00:18:32but he gets to balls that get by most people at that position
00:18:36just really impressive because there are certain times the ball comes off the bat
00:18:40automatically that team that hit it thinks that they've got a base hit or they may have extra bases and
00:18:46he just takes it away
00:18:49next offering is fouled back
00:18:51next offering is fouled back
00:19:02the pitch
00:19:12no score here in the second
00:19:14no score here in the second
00:19:35swing and a miss struck him out
00:19:37that ends the frame
00:19:41one left for the Orioles
00:19:43we'll go to the bottom in the second
00:19:45no score
00:19:51this one
00:19:53back in Yankee Stadium and here's the veteran outfielder Reggie Jackson
00:20:00for the Yankee
00:20:02the right fielder
00:20:03the pitch
00:20:04Reggie Jackson this one rip but foul to the right and what makes him even quicker is the fact that
00:20:13he's so dialed in on the pitch as it's moving through the hitting zone he can see how that
00:20:17hitter's lined up what he's trying to do and where that pitch is going to end up which gives
00:20:21him that really quick first step and that's why he makes so many great plays
00:20:29out to short dives and he can't hang on no throw and he's on it first man those are the
00:20:36types of
00:20:36hits where you don't feel any vibration in your hands whatsoever such a good feeling
00:20:41Fielder got a piece of it but the way that thing came off the bat no surprise at all he
00:20:46couldn't
00:20:46pick it cleanly it's a very difficult play and that swing definitely was deserving of a hit
00:20:51at the play alex rodriguez first offering and it just misses
00:21:04second inning here no score
00:21:12the next pitch misses two balls no strikes
00:21:26righty delivers that one misses and that's ball three
00:21:41and the pitch
00:21:45that's out to center field jones settles underneath it and there's one down
00:21:58bat again the catcher number 31 and here's the catcher number 31 this is a guy who is very highly
00:22:08regarded defensively fun to watch him control stuff behind the plate good game caller good at framing
00:22:14but it's that big arm that really stands out shocker checks over to first and he's back
00:22:29that one's in there on one
00:22:36left hand hitter waits that misses and one and one
00:22:45nothing nothing nothing here in the bottom of the second
00:22:53next offering is in for a strike
00:23:04hard hit down the line and left no trouble here puts it away for the out two way down
00:23:14batting nut the second base
00:23:18and up next for new york robinson cano good contact guy good defender
00:23:24he's hitting for that pop came out of the gates really strong
00:23:38and that's in there for strike one man that pitch was dotted so much talent on display when this guy's
00:23:44out there on the hill
00:23:47jackson off the first with two away
00:23:54and now the count is even
00:24:01and here it comes
00:24:03that one misses and it's two and one and that's a pitch early in this game he needs
00:24:09called for a strike struggling with command issues he's got to get a little help from the umpire
00:24:19swing and a high fly ball to left
00:24:27uh
00:24:27umpire swing and a high fly ball to right one of the most of the most of the most of
00:24:29the with that
00:24:30go out of the ì§€ì— court and then they play the ball to the second of the field on the
00:24:50field
00:24:50component the contact component but lack of power that's a strike strike one I
00:24:58think baseball starting to understand that those guys are valuable like they
00:25:01once were they need him in this game today
00:25:10deal one and strike two
00:25:28next pitch is outside
00:25:30one ball two strikes
00:25:38got him looking and one away in the top of the third well he throws him with a great fastball
00:25:44right on the corner it's kind of like bowling when you think the ball is going to get into
00:25:47the gutter and somehow it just hangs onto that edge and knocks down a pin well he got the outside
00:25:52corner of the plate and got that called third strike and into the box for Baltimore Brian
00:25:58Roberts his first at bat was a strikeout first offering misses the mark
00:26:20just missed oh he looks more focused at the plate and working the count after that first at bat strikeout
00:26:42the two one
00:26:45popped in the air left field
00:26:48DiMaggio puts it away and there's two away
00:26:53the left fielder number 20
00:26:55Frank Robinson
00:26:57and next for the Orioles Frank Robinson he's a guy Chris whose highlights include some of the best throws from
00:27:04the outfield that you will ever see
00:27:06definitely one of the best arms of the sport
00:27:11check swing now to look down to first and Ed Drummond right on it says he held up top of
00:27:18the third no score
00:27:22next pitch is outside
00:27:24yeah the infielders and the catcher can never give up on a play because if this guy thinks he has
00:27:29a chance
00:27:29he's going to throw it from the warning track if he has to
00:27:35next offering misses and it's three at oh
00:27:47two down nobody on
00:27:50and he walked him
00:27:53four pitches that's an easy walk man he could have walked me right there boo the last one wasn't even
00:27:58close
00:27:59so two down Eddie Murray will hit next
00:28:03singing you can't ask for anything more this guy checks all the boxes offensively
00:28:08he is the ultimate professional and it doesn't just start at game time it starts in the afternoon the way
00:28:14he prepares and gets ready for the ball game
00:28:15I tell you what his teammates feed off of the leadership that he shows on and off the field
00:28:22there was a high velocity fastball in the zone I think a little frustration from walking the previous hitter
00:28:28he's got good stuff pitch inside the zone and trust it
00:28:32and the righty deals
00:28:34breaking ball in there for a strike
00:28:44the 0-2
00:28:46swing and a bouncer
00:28:47Cano handles the chance
00:28:50on to first
00:28:51Murray retire
00:28:52and that's the third out
00:28:54and the Orioles leave one
00:28:56and we're still knotted at zero
00:29:08back in New York
00:29:09and stepping in is the speedy Derek Jeter
00:29:13seeing you talk about a guy that has all the skills
00:29:16the range is really good but the arm just stands out and he makes all the plays
00:29:24swing and a miss
00:29:25strike one
00:29:27and because of that big power arm
00:29:29he's able to play a little bit deeper
00:29:30make throws from the outfield grass all the way across the diamond
00:29:34and still get a pretty good runner
00:29:36that's impressive
00:29:37he can't get there
00:29:39it's a base hit
00:29:44well the last 10 games or so have been anything but fun at the plate for him
00:29:48so that one has to feel good
00:29:50nice line drive to the pull side
00:29:52met it out front
00:29:53but just stayed through it nice enough
00:29:55and ripped it into the outfield
00:29:57Joe DiMaggio
00:29:59stepping in now for the Yankees
00:30:05in there for strike one
00:30:15nobody out
00:30:16runner at first
00:30:22the 0-1 is outside
00:30:23and it's a ball and a strike
00:30:24well here's a good opportunity in this inning
00:30:26to get on the scoreboard after that leadoff hit
00:30:28and Hartley-Order coming up right behind them
00:30:31this is where they need to get going
00:30:33next offering is way upstairs
00:30:46here comes the pitch
00:30:48there's a strike
00:30:49with two strikes
00:30:51may see some movement over there at first base
00:30:53try to stay out of a double play here
00:30:59Cheater gets his lead at first with nobody out
00:31:07left field
00:31:12Robinson makes the grab
00:31:14and there's one down
00:31:16just pulled off of it a little bit right there
00:31:18that front shoulder coming open
00:31:20instead of staying closed
00:31:21if he does that
00:31:23he's going to be able to go up the middle
00:31:24the other way with some authority
00:31:26instead of a fly out to left
00:31:28Babe Ruth
00:31:29stepping in now for the Yankees
00:31:35first pitch
00:31:36and that's in for a strike
00:31:47kicks and deals
00:31:50strike two
00:31:51if he doesn't get a knock right here
00:31:52that pitch he just took
00:31:54is going to eat at him for a while
00:31:55you might not see another pitch like that
00:31:57from a top level guy like this
00:32:03and he deals
00:32:06on the ground to the left
00:32:07that's a hit
00:32:11they get it in quickly
00:32:12so first and second
00:32:14now one out
00:32:15everything came together
00:32:16perfectly for him right there
00:32:18smash that one through the infield
00:32:20for the knock
00:32:20when it's hit that hard
00:32:21it makes it very tough
00:32:23on the infielders
00:32:24to make any sort of play
00:32:25runner in scoring position now
00:32:26and a good opportunity
00:32:27to push across the first run
00:32:29of the ball game
00:32:32and now it's going to be
00:32:34Lou Gehrig
00:32:35in there
00:32:36and it's 0-1
00:32:46runners at first
00:32:47and second
00:32:47with one gone
00:32:55line drive
00:32:56that's a base hit
00:32:57Jeter
00:32:58around third
00:32:59he will score
00:33:00and they take the lead
00:33:021-0
00:33:03to third
00:33:04not in time
00:33:05and it's runners at the corners
00:33:07with one gone
00:33:08well there you go
00:33:09the RBI machine
00:33:11another clutch run
00:33:12scoring it back
00:33:13yeah he's been so good
00:33:15in these situations
00:33:16call it clutch if you want
00:33:18but his resume speaks for itself
00:33:20so one out with two aboard
00:33:22and next for New York
00:33:24Mickey Mantle
00:33:25year in and year out
00:33:26this guy an MVP candidate
00:33:37runners are at the corners
00:33:38one away
00:33:56and a pitch
00:34:10next offering
00:34:11misses down and away
00:34:12good miss with that change up away
00:34:14he needs a ball on the ground
00:34:15for a double play
00:34:16minimize the potential threat
00:34:18right here
00:34:19on the hitter side
00:34:20nice job of laying off that pitch
00:34:232-2
00:34:25got him
00:34:25and there's two down
00:34:28no you gotta be ready
00:34:29to swing the bat
00:34:30with a runner in scoring position
00:34:31and two strikes
00:34:32just put the ball in place
00:34:34somewhere
00:34:34and you got a chance
00:34:36very frustrating for him
00:34:37I'm sure
00:34:38see if the next guy
00:34:39can pick him up
00:34:42and now Reggie Jackson
00:34:50in the air out to center
00:34:52Jones
00:34:53under this one
00:34:54and that is that
00:34:57but the RBI single
00:34:59pushes across a run
00:35:00it's now 1-0
00:35:13here at new Yankee Stadium
00:35:16in the Bronx
00:35:17John Chomby with Chris Singleton
00:35:18and set to lead off the fourth
00:35:20Cal Ripton Jr.
00:35:34the wind and the pitch
00:35:38that one misses
00:35:39and that's ball one
00:35:47and downstairs
00:35:48well usually a high level of confidence
00:35:50when you're facing
00:35:51a young pitcher
00:35:52out there on the mound
00:35:54in this situation
00:35:55ahead 2-0
00:35:56he's put himself
00:35:57in a really good spot
00:36:02the 2-0
00:36:02is in for a strike
00:36:11good eye right there
00:36:12now in this three ball count
00:36:14down in the ball game
00:36:15you've got to be very selective
00:36:16take your walk
00:36:17if they'll give it to you
00:36:20kicks and fires
00:36:22that one misses
00:36:23so a lead off walk
00:36:25and he reluctantly
00:36:27takes his walk
00:36:30and next is the designated hitter
00:36:33Ken Williams
00:36:34hit it well
00:36:35but flied out to the deepest part
00:36:37of the outfield
00:36:37his first time
00:36:42fouled off
00:36:43he was late
00:36:49runter at first
00:36:50with no outs here
00:36:59next pitch
00:37:00misses inside
00:37:01and it's a ball
00:37:02to strike
00:37:11and the right
00:37:12hater deals
00:37:14slap the other way
00:37:15foul
00:37:30swing and a miss
00:37:32the velocity
00:37:32blasted it right past him
00:37:34typically that high fastball
00:37:36if it's close to the top
00:37:38of the strike zone
00:37:39a hitter
00:37:40he's prepared for
00:37:41can get to it
00:37:42but that one just had
00:37:42that little jump
00:37:43at the end
00:37:44which indicates
00:37:45there's a good spin rate
00:37:46on it
00:37:47and it didn't decrease
00:37:48in velocity
00:37:48as that hitter's
00:37:50internal clock
00:37:51would expect it to
00:37:52and that's why
00:37:52you see the swing and miss
00:37:54Robinson
00:37:54batting for the second time
00:37:56and that's strike one
00:38:03Ripken
00:38:04leads off first
00:38:05with one away
00:38:10next pitch
00:38:11inside
00:38:12and now it's even
00:38:13one and one
00:38:19righty to the plate
00:38:20and now two and one
00:38:39out towards right
00:38:40center field
00:38:41mantel
00:38:42glides to his left
00:38:43can't get their
00:38:44base hit
00:38:45it's safe
00:38:46hitting is really easy
00:38:47for some guys
00:38:48one thing that I can see
00:38:49already
00:38:50his bat stays
00:38:51in the zone
00:38:52on plane
00:38:53for an extended
00:38:53period of time
00:38:54and guys like that
00:38:56they have a high
00:38:57contact rate
00:38:58and they have
00:38:59more barrels
00:39:00because of that
00:39:01bat being on plane
00:39:02and even when
00:39:03you don't get it great
00:39:04it's still hit hard
00:39:05enough
00:39:06to dunk something
00:39:07in like that
00:39:07in front of the
00:39:08center fielder
00:39:22next offering is in for a
00:39:24strike
00:39:24he's looking for a
00:39:26ground ball to get a
00:39:27double play and out of
00:39:28this jam
00:39:31one out
00:39:32runners at first and second
00:39:40next pitch
00:39:41not close
00:39:41up high
00:39:42hitters got some good
00:39:43opposite field power
00:39:45what I like about
00:39:46something being hit to the
00:39:47right side into the
00:39:48outfield
00:39:49is that the base runner
00:39:50at second has a very good
00:39:51read
00:39:52good feed
00:39:53that's one
00:39:54and that's two
00:39:57got the batter to hit it
00:39:58exactly where he wanted
00:40:00that textbook
00:40:00six four three
00:40:02double play
00:40:02gets out of the jam
00:40:03and back in the dugout
00:40:09back for more from the
00:40:11Bronx
00:40:11bottom of the fourth
00:40:12and here is
00:40:13Alex Rodriguez
00:40:15the third baseman
00:40:17Alex Rodriguez
00:40:19the line of the pitch
00:40:23there's the strike
00:40:24Belly's been incredibly
00:40:25efficient in this one
00:40:26first pitch strike
00:40:27percentage
00:40:28over 70%
00:40:29that's well above
00:40:30league average
00:40:31and that's what's allowed
00:40:32him to pitch well up
00:40:33until this point
00:40:33next offering
00:40:35upstairs
00:40:40the wide
00:40:41to kick
00:40:41the pitch
00:40:45bounce
00:40:45to third
00:40:48Robinson
00:40:48throws the first
00:40:49in time
00:40:50leadoff hitter
00:40:51retired in the fourth
00:40:52here at new
00:40:53Yankee Stadium
00:40:54in the Bronx
00:40:55and they have
00:40:56this new ballpark
00:40:57that is absolutely
00:40:58gorgeous
00:40:59but there's still
00:41:00some of that
00:41:00old school feel
00:41:01to it
00:41:07number 31
00:41:08at the plate
00:41:10and takes high
00:41:10there
00:41:18that one the other
00:41:19way
00:41:20dives
00:41:21but it kicks
00:41:21off his glove
00:41:22he doesn't have a
00:41:24play
00:41:24he's in safely
00:41:25and now there's a
00:41:26runner at first
00:41:29just a cookie
00:41:30down the middle
00:41:31I mean those are
00:41:32the ones you
00:41:32dream about
00:41:33ones in the cage
00:41:34you're just hoping
00:41:34you get in the
00:41:35ball game
00:41:35right down the
00:41:36middle
00:41:36not a whole lot
00:41:37of velocity
00:41:37right on top
00:41:38of it
00:41:39now batting
00:41:40Robinson
00:41:41Cano
00:41:43yeah you have
00:41:44to connect
00:41:45the past
00:41:45with the present
00:41:46and they did
00:41:47a really nice
00:41:47job of
00:41:48the monument
00:41:49park out there
00:41:50where you can go
00:41:50and walk through
00:41:51and see the legends
00:41:53this is New York
00:41:54and it is
00:41:55the greatest
00:41:56city
00:41:57I would say
00:41:57in the country
00:41:58if not the world
00:41:59so you expect
00:42:00them to
00:42:01build a ballpark
00:42:02that's going to be
00:42:03incredibly rich
00:42:04in that tradition
00:42:05and it's
00:42:06found away
00:42:19cut on
00:42:20and miss
00:42:21struck him
00:42:21out
00:42:22and
00:42:23there are two
00:42:24down

00:42:30straight out
00:42:30of the mid
00:42:3180s
00:42:31good contact
00:42:32not much
00:42:33power
00:42:33and he
00:42:34can run
00:42:35he always
00:42:35uses the wheels
00:42:36to his advantage
00:42:37his biggest challenge
00:42:39in this day
00:42:40and age
00:42:40is to not get
00:42:41caught up
00:42:42in trying to hit
00:42:42home runs
00:42:43because so many
00:42:43people are
00:42:47what about
00:42:47as a left-handed
00:42:48hitter
00:42:48and how short
00:42:49that porch
00:42:50is
00:42:51in right field
00:42:52were you ever
00:42:53tempted to
00:42:54just try and
00:42:54think in terms
00:42:55of leaning
00:42:56on something
00:42:57and there's
00:42:57the third out
00:42:58that'll do it
00:42:59for the inning
00:43:01one left

00:43:17getting started
00:43:17leading off
00:43:18number 13
00:43:19the catcher
00:43:20he just has to
00:43:21understand that
00:43:22his skill set
00:43:23is unique
00:43:23and he's very
00:43:24valuable for
00:43:25any ball club
00:43:25if he does
00:43:26that he'll play
00:43:27a long time
00:43:27in this league
00:43:32the wind
00:43:33to the pitch
00:43:35that's in
00:43:36there
00:43:37strike one
00:43:41you'll want
00:43:45and there's
00:43:45a breaking ball
00:43:46that drops
00:43:46in there
00:43:47well you can't
00:43:48really adjust
00:43:48your game plan
00:43:49for that last pitch
00:43:50guy hasn't thrown
00:43:50it very much
00:43:51you got to focus
00:43:52on the stuff
00:43:52that he's throwing
00:43:52up there
00:43:53most of the time
00:44:00righty delivers
00:44:03and a foul ball
00:44:04he stays alive
00:44:13here's the 0-2
00:44:17popped in the air
00:44:18left side
00:44:19cheater
00:44:20pulls that one
00:44:21down
00:44:22and there's
00:44:22one down
00:44:26now that
00:44:27number 6
00:44:31so back to the
00:44:32top of the
00:44:32Orioles lineup
00:44:33here's the
00:44:34Orioles leadoff
00:44:34hitter
00:44:35number 6
00:44:36Singy
00:44:37you gotta
00:44:37appreciate
00:44:38a guy
00:44:38who's this
00:44:39good defensively
00:44:40I mean
00:44:40watching him
00:44:41track balls
00:44:41in the outfield
00:44:42it is beautiful
00:44:46and that's
00:44:47in there
00:44:47for strike one
00:44:48so how much
00:44:49does his speed
00:44:49factor into
00:44:50his ability
00:44:51to go get it
00:44:52it's heartbreaking
00:44:53for the hitter
00:44:54because off the
00:44:55bat he thinks
00:44:55this ball is
00:44:56gonna get down
00:44:57because of that
00:44:58speed and the
00:44:59ability to make
00:45:00up so much
00:45:00ground
00:45:01he enters the
00:45:02picture and
00:45:03breaks a guy's
00:45:03heart
00:45:04next one
00:45:05misses
00:45:05and the count
00:45:06is 1 and 2
00:45:14and that chance
00:45:15handled
00:45:17sends it to
00:45:17first
00:45:18and the first
00:45:19two set down
00:45:20at the top
00:45:20of the fifth
00:45:22up next

00:45:23the second
00:45:24baseman
00:45:25Brian
00:45:26Roberts
00:45:27two outs
00:45:28bases empty
00:45:28here's the
00:45:29second
00:45:30baseman
00:45:30Brian Roberts
00:45:33there's one
00:45:34guy that I can
00:45:34think about
00:45:35Boog
00:45:35who started
00:45:36as a third
00:45:36baseman
00:45:37Alex Gordon
00:45:38and then
00:45:38became an
00:45:39elite
00:45:39perennial

00:45:42left field
00:45:42for the
00:45:43Kansas City
00:45:43Royals
00:45:44but he's a
00:45:45guy
00:45:45when you
00:45:46watch him
00:45:46play
00:45:46you would
00:45:47imagine
00:45:47that that's
00:45:48all he ever
00:45:48played in his
00:45:49life

00:47:39sports fan
00:47:40tell me about
00:47:41your experience
00:47:42with the Yankees
00:47:42growing up
00:47:43I really went
00:47:44to Shea Stadium
00:47:45more than I did
00:47:46to Yankee Stadium
00:47:47I grew up a
00:47:48Phillies fan
00:47:48there was one
00:47:49game though
00:47:49that I went to
00:47:51as a kid
00:47:51I sat in the
00:47:52upper deck
00:47:52it was the game
00:47:54that Bo Jackson
00:47:54hit three homers
00:47:55in his first
00:47:56three plate
00:47:57appearances
00:47:58and then hurt a
00:47:59shoulder
00:47:59diving for
00:48:01Deion Sanders
00:48:01inside the park
00:48:02home run
00:48:03that's probably
00:48:04the most
00:48:05memorable game
00:48:06that I ever
00:48:06attended as a
00:48:07fan at
00:48:08old Yankee
00:48:08Stadium
00:48:12one down

00:48:17stays alive
00:48:19look out
00:48:20that ball
00:48:20was smoked
00:48:21man I am
00:48:22so relieved
00:48:22that they have
00:48:23this netting
00:48:24down the lines
00:48:25just ensures
00:48:26safety for the
00:48:27fans
00:48:27last thing as a
00:48:28player you want
00:48:28to look up
00:48:28and see a fan
00:48:29get hit
00:48:29now fly ball
00:48:31to right center
00:48:32Jones
00:48:33trots over
00:48:34to his left
00:48:35and makes
00:48:36the grab

00:54:55like that
00:54:55I mean sure
00:54:56home runs are king
00:54:57but I feel like
00:54:58nothing makes you
00:54:58feel like a true
00:54:59professional hitter
00:55:00more than a bolt
00:55:01the other way

00:55:29Yankees
00:55:30number 11
00:55:31up and throwing
00:55:32number 46
00:55:33warming up as well
00:55:420-2 now
00:55:45popped up to the
00:55:46left
00:55:46into foul ground
00:55:48pulls it in
00:55:49and there's two
00:55:50away
00:55:50that's a frustrating
00:55:51at bat right there
00:55:52big opportunity
00:55:53and just missed it
00:55:55I know he wanted to
00:55:56do some damage
00:55:56next guy
00:55:57I'll have to pick
00:55:58him up
00:56:03digging in
00:56:04it's the speedy
00:56:04outfielder
00:56:05Adam
00:56:06well there's a
00:56:07reason why he's at
00:56:08the bottom of the
00:56:08order struggling as
00:56:10of late but a
00:56:11knock here would be
00:56:12a huge lift for him
00:56:13and for his team
00:56:16bit of strategy
00:56:17here they issue
00:56:18the intentional walk
00:56:19and that'll set up
00:56:20a forced play at
00:56:21any base
00:56:22well it doesn't get
00:56:23much easier with
00:56:24this next batter
00:56:24but I totally
00:56:25understand going
00:56:26with the intentional
00:56:27walk in that spot
00:56:28he's just too
00:56:29dangerous at the
00:56:29plate right now
00:56:30and there's a
00:56:31base open so it
00:56:31gives you options
00:56:32defensively to get
00:56:33it out
00:56:40number 13
00:56:41in the box now
00:56:42take strike one
00:56:43falling at bat
00:56:44can be a little bit
00:56:45of a dance
00:56:45strike one here
00:56:47but a few more
00:56:48pitches we'll see
00:56:49how it turns out
00:56:57and a pitch
00:56:59that one catches
00:57:00the zone
00:57:010-2 now
00:57:02and he's close
00:57:03as he's trying to
00:57:04get through six
00:57:05full innings right
00:57:05now he's about to
00:57:06throw his 100th pitch
00:57:08I'd be surprised
00:57:09if this isn't it
00:57:10for him
00:57:120-2 now
00:57:14and a swing
00:57:15and a miss
00:57:16huge strike
00:57:17out there
00:57:21sometimes he wears
00:57:22the emotion on the
00:57:23sleeve but that's
00:57:24okay as long as
00:57:25she's getting results
00:57:26and right there
00:57:27thrilled with the
00:57:28punch out to get
00:57:29out of a jam
00:57:40and welcome back
00:57:41here's the center
00:57:42fielder mickey mantle
00:57:44this is a true
00:57:46five tool guy
00:57:47not very many of
00:57:48them out there
00:57:49but when he's on
00:57:50the field you can't
00:57:51take your eye off
00:57:51of him
00:57:54first pitch
00:57:55just misses
00:57:56fans come to the
00:57:57ballpark to watch
00:57:58him play
00:57:59and in baseball
00:58:00to have such a
00:58:01talented player
00:58:02going out there
00:58:03every day
00:58:04and putting on
00:58:05the show that he
00:58:05does
00:58:06just a joy to watch
00:58:19next pitch
00:58:20misses inside
00:58:21and that's
00:58:22ball three
00:58:36and that's ball
00:58:37four
00:58:39that could be a
00:58:40tone setter for the
00:58:41inning four straight
00:58:42pitches and the lead
00:58:43off batters on base
00:58:44we'll see if the next
00:58:45guy waits until there's
00:58:46a called strike before
00:58:47he takes the bat off
00:58:48the shoulder
00:58:48no outs
00:58:50runner at first
00:58:51and stepping in for
00:58:53the Yankees
00:58:53Reggie Jackson
00:58:54gotta be careful with
00:58:55this guy
00:58:56he's got power
00:58:57he can untie it
00:58:58with one swing
00:59:01and a foul ball
00:59:03third base side
00:59:12and here it comes
00:59:14inside
00:59:16just missed
00:59:26the 1-1
00:59:27and there's the strike
00:59:39the pitch
00:59:42swing and a miss
00:59:43struck him out
00:59:44and that's the first
00:59:45out
00:59:45he came out of his
00:59:47mechanics there
00:59:47typically likes to
00:59:49shoot the ball the
00:59:49other way

00:59:53Alex

01:00:49so tough
01:00:49as a hitter
01:00:50to pull yourself
01:00:50out of an
01:00:51extended slump
01:00:52one that lasts

01:21:02tough
01:21:03situation

01:21:52the out
01:21:53stayed with the
01:21:53play and that
01:21:54will end the
01:21:55inning
01:22:06we're back
01:22:07and on the
01:22:08mound is the
01:22:08closer
01:22:09Mariano Rivera
01:22:10and he'll work
01:22:11on holding
01:22:12this lead
01:22:22welcome back
01:22:23all set to
01:22:24start the
01:22:24ninth in this
01:22:25one
01:22:25down to
01:22:26third
01:22:26baseman
01:22:26Brooks
01:22:27Robinson
01:22:28if you
01:22:29don't get
01:22:29ahead in the
01:22:29count
01:22:30you can forget
01:22:31about having
01:22:31any success
01:22:32against him
01:22:36the pitch
01:22:39ball one
01:22:40no strikes
01:22:41it's getting
01:22:42squeezed a little
01:22:42bit here
01:22:43late
01:22:49the tying run
01:22:50at the plate
01:22:51and fouled off
01:23:13and there's a
01:23:14foul ball
01:23:29got him
01:23:30and the lead off
01:23:31man retired here
01:23:32in the ninth
01:23:33well that's
01:23:33always the key
01:23:34to effective
01:23:35pitching is getting
01:23:36ahead in the
01:23:37count and as a
01:23:38pitcher it really
01:23:38allows you to start
01:23:39expanding the zone
01:23:40guys become
01:23:41defensive and all
01:23:43of a sudden for the
01:23:43hitter that plate
01:23:44starts to get
01:23:45really wide and
01:23:46what happens is
01:23:47because of the
01:23:48pressure you end
01:23:49up committing to a
01:23:50pitch as a batter
01:23:51before you recognize
01:23:52what it is and
01:23:53that's what leads to
01:23:54the strikeout
01:23:54now here is Adam
01:23:56Jones and the
01:23:58first pitch misses
01:23:59for ball one
01:24:13and the right
01:24:14hater deals
01:24:15and a strike on the
01:24:17outside edge
01:24:17you know this guy's
01:24:19great speed is in the
01:24:19back of that pitcher's
01:24:20mind if he can get
01:24:21on it's going to give
01:24:22him one more thing
01:24:23he's got to think
01:24:24about
01:24:26and a swing and a
01:24:28miss there
01:24:28that's one of those
01:24:29swing now before the
01:24:31pitchers even let go of
01:24:32the baseball
01:24:40righty delivers
01:24:42and a swing and a
01:24:44miss now only one
01:24:45out remaining
01:24:48chance to strike out
01:24:49the side now you
01:24:50talk about the
01:24:51benefits the
01:24:52advantages of
01:24:53relievers who can
01:24:54come in and get
01:24:55the swing and miss
01:24:56whether it's
01:24:56inherited runners or
01:24:57maybe a little jam
01:24:58that they get into
01:24:59themselves knowing
01:25:00that they can miss
01:25:01the bat tell you
01:25:02what that's huge
01:25:03and can change the
01:25:04ball game
01:25:13number 13 stands
01:25:15in now and
01:25:16watches strike one
01:25:32next pitch is inside
01:25:33one ball one strike

01:25:47the knees
01:26:00here's a one-two
01:26:04they tried to get him to
01:26:05go chase the pitch down
01:26:07and away but he
01:26:07wouldn't bite
01:26:12here's the two-two
01:26:15late swing
01:26:16fouled off
01:26:27the two-two now
