00:00:23hello baseball fans and welcome the show has an al east matchup it's the new york
00:00:29yankees taking on the baltimore orioles joined by my partner chris singleton i'm john shambi and
00:00:36chris we've got an opportunity to watch one of the true superstars of the sport frank robinson
00:00:40always exciting to see him in action and it seems like he consistently finds a way to impact the game
00:00:46yeah boogie it's offensively at the plate defensively when he's on the bases and this
00:00:51guy's just a heads-up player but he's got so much talent and he makes the most of that i
00:00:55believe it
00:00:56starts with his preparation because you never see him give away in it back
00:01:04all right ready to go here today's starting pitcher number 15.
00:01:09well that whip is just below the league average and that's a good thing in this case not allowing
00:01:15too many base runners so for most days he's going to go out there and compete and put his team
00:01:21in
00:01:21a position to win and i expect to see that from him in this one today so just about set
00:01:26and the
00:01:26batter will be the shortstop derrick cheater derrick cheater the why to kick the pitch
00:01:34that one's in there and we're underway
00:01:43first pitch 707
00:01:49next offering is in for a strike all right now he may have not liked either of those first two
00:01:55pitches or agreed with the umpire's calls but at this point he's gonna have to bear down and be
00:01:59ready to hit anything close to the zone
00:02:14cut on and miss struck him out and now one away well clearly just anxious right there and
00:02:21understandably so in an 0-2 count you feel like you've got a lot of plate to cover and you
00:02:26don't
00:02:26want to strike out and you end up striking out that's just one of those pitches where
00:02:30it's not over the plate but because you committed to it as it was leaving his hand by the time
00:02:35you
00:02:35realized it wasn't going to be in the zone it's too late to hold up your swing
00:02:39joe daggio in the box here lets that one go for a ball
00:02:48no score just getting started top of the first
00:02:55and there's the strike goodness i think he just took the best pitch he's going to see in this at
00:03:00bat you don't get many like that in that location i don't know if you take that pitch against any
00:03:04pitcher out there on the mound
00:03:07kicks and fires
00:03:19swing and a miss
00:03:28there's a swing and a drive way back there
00:03:33banks off the wall
00:03:36and that's a double
00:03:41that pretty much split the zone down the middle and those are the ones where you've got to make them
00:03:45pay
00:03:58and it's second with one away and next is the designated hitter babe ruth
00:04:08check swing to the first pitch look down the third and that's going to be ruled the swing
00:04:30righty to the plate
00:04:41dimaggio leads off second with one gone in the inning
00:04:51slice the other way and foul
00:05:07and a foul ball he stays alive
00:05:20man it's second hit hard on the ground is short sneaks through base head into third now so runners at
00:05:29the corners and one out a swing like that can help you come out of this struggle we saw the
00:05:34numbers coming into the ball game but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win
00:05:41so one out with two aboard and next will be the cleanup hitter lou garrick
00:05:49that one's in there on one
00:06:04and the pitch
00:06:07that one missed well they're really running up the pitch count in this first inning lots of confidence from this
00:06:13team that is perhaps the hottest in baseball right now
00:06:16left hand hitter waits
00:06:18and that one fouled off
00:06:21well he knows they don't want to give him anything to hit but when you've got opportunities to drive in
00:06:26runs you've got to expand the zone he's capable of going out there and doing damage with it
00:06:31here comes a pitch
00:06:34in the air to left down the line
00:06:37makes the catch
00:06:39runner tags for home
00:06:41throw is offline
00:06:43and he scores and it's one nothing so many times that one gets out of here and into the seats
00:06:49but he'll take the sack fly rbi good job to get that run in from third
00:06:55digging in it's the speedy outfielder number 26
00:07:08first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:07:17right hander kicks deals
00:07:19that one off the mark
00:07:21ball one
00:07:21they've got him working a little harder in this first frame than he anticipated
00:07:36here's a 1-1
00:07:38next offering misses down and away
00:07:48now move to first
00:07:49and he just got his hand in there
00:08:03line drive
00:08:06and that is the third out of the inning
00:08:11so they pick up a run on two hits no errors and a man left
00:08:14on to the bottom of the first
00:08:16Yankees won and the Orioles coming up
00:08:25bottom of the first
00:08:27on the hill and coming off a great start
00:08:29number 21
00:08:30what do you have on him
00:08:44number six
00:08:45number six
00:08:46the pitch
00:08:49down the corner for a strike
00:08:51strike one
00:09:01and a pitch
00:09:04that one pushed foul out of play off to the left
00:09:17got him
00:09:17and one away
00:09:20so he gets the call
00:09:21and picks up the strikeout looking
00:09:23sometimes with a good hitter at the plate
00:09:25he'll be the one to get the benefit of the doubt
00:09:27if he lays off on a close pitch like that
00:09:29but just not right there
00:09:30strike zone definitely expand a little bit with two strikes
00:09:33and next for the Orioles
00:09:35Ryan Roberts
00:09:36he's sitting on 99 career homers
00:09:40we'll see if this is the moment to notch number 100
00:09:53you'll want
00:09:56and that one fouled off
00:10:05the wind of the pitch
00:10:28swing and a miss
00:10:30struck him out
00:10:31back-to-back strikeouts
00:10:34now anytime you can punch out the top two guys in a lineup
00:10:37to start an inning
00:10:38got to be feeling pretty good out there on the mound
00:10:40because when you think of
00:10:42just having a distraction
00:10:43table setters on the base paths
00:10:45and all of a sudden you're dealing with a number three hitter
00:10:48any distraction
00:10:49can cause you to serve up a cookie
00:10:51and instead of it being a solo shot
00:10:53it's a two or three run homer
00:11:03swing and a high fly ball to left
00:11:06swing and a high fly ball to left
00:11:26back now at Oriole Park
00:11:28back now at Oriole Park
00:11:28and here is Reggie Jackson
00:11:31the right fielder number nine
00:11:34Reggie
00:11:34the right hitter back to work
00:11:37there's a strike
00:11:38he needs a quick one two three
00:11:40this time around
00:11:41last inning
00:11:42threw a lot of pitches
00:11:55oh and two as he waves at that one
00:11:58Larry Bullard
00:11:59our umpire behind the plate
00:12:01Bullard's got a pretty standard strike zone
00:12:04sometimes
00:12:05they'll have you guessing a little bit
00:12:07but overall
00:12:07well-respected umpire in the league
00:12:10the wind of the pitch
00:12:13and he chases that one
00:12:15and that's the first out
00:12:21Alex Rodriguez
00:12:22digs in now
00:12:23good contact guy
00:12:25good defender
00:12:28first offering
00:12:29misses the mark
00:12:42one down base is empty
00:12:54and it's found away
00:13:07next pitch is outside
00:13:20and the right hander deals
00:13:23out to short
00:13:24and it finds its way through for a hit
00:13:27so they get a man aboard with a one-out single
00:13:31but when you fall behind in the count
00:13:33you've got to come into the zone
00:13:34and then guys have a better chance of hitting the ball hard
00:13:37like he did right there
00:13:44number 31
00:13:45stepping in now for the Yankees
00:13:48throw over to first
00:13:49tag
00:13:50and he picked off
00:13:54I think the base runner was trying to catch him off guard
00:13:57perhaps
00:13:58looking to steal
00:13:59right away
00:14:00and
00:14:00wasn't ready to get back to first
00:14:02nice pickoff move by the pitcher
00:14:12foul ball
00:14:14foul ball
00:14:30and fouled off
00:14:39and the 0-2
00:14:42stays alive
00:14:54on the ground right side
00:14:57Roberts picks it up
00:14:58and the Yanks go quietly
00:15:00we go to the bottom of inning number two
00:15:03Yankees one
00:15:04and the Orioles nothing
00:15:09bottom half of inning number two
00:15:11so now the Orioles cleanup hitter
00:15:13Frank Robinson
00:15:16the pitch
00:15:20and there's a ball
00:15:21he never moved
00:15:22because he never had time to
00:15:24but that kind of velocity
00:15:26you'd prefer that pitcher work away
00:15:28the 1-0
00:15:31and another ball
00:15:38and the righty deals
00:15:41that one misses
00:15:43and it's 3-0
00:15:55and there's a strike
00:15:56cold night like tonight
00:15:58last thing you want to do as a hitter
00:15:59is get jammed
00:16:00or even off the end
00:16:01trying to find that sweet spot
00:16:03on the bat
00:16:04tell you what
00:16:04you're going to be trying to catch things out front
00:16:06so off-speed pitches
00:16:07may be a good complement
00:16:09to that fastball
00:16:11and a 3-1 on the way
00:16:14he swings and fouls one off
00:16:27Rodriguez
00:16:29tosses to first
00:16:30and quickly one away in the second
00:16:36batting fifth
00:16:37not shortstop
00:16:39Cal Ripken Jr.
00:16:42Stepping in
00:16:43the slugging shortstop
00:16:44Cal Ripken Jr.
00:16:46this guy is an elite level hitter
00:16:49especially considering contact
00:16:50just the ability
00:16:51to hit for average
00:16:53what you really like though
00:16:54stays in against those righties
00:16:57and that's not so easy
00:16:58as a right-handed batter
00:17:08next offering misses
00:17:10and that's ball one
00:17:17there's the strike
00:17:18we'll always know Cal Ripken for the streak
00:17:20but he was about so much more than that
00:17:23he really changed the way we think about the shortstop position
00:17:31the pitch
00:17:35fought off foul
00:17:45the one-two
00:17:48swing and a miss
00:17:50the velocity
00:17:51blasted it right past him
00:17:53off to a strong start
00:17:55singe
00:17:56as he's punched out
00:17:57three of the first five
00:17:58he's faced
00:17:58well he's definitely minimizing contact
00:18:01he can get the swing and miss
00:18:02when he needs it
00:18:03but he'll also keep the defense
00:18:04fresh behind him
00:18:05allowing some balls in play as well
00:18:08now here is Ken Williams
00:18:10and the first pitch
00:18:12misses for ball one
00:18:24and a 1-0
00:18:271-0-1 on the gun
00:18:29swing and a miss
00:18:32kicks and deals
00:18:46and that's in for a strike
00:18:48good zip on that fastball
00:18:50at the bottom of the zone
00:18:51if he's there all day
00:18:52it's going to be a tough one
00:18:53for the hitters
00:18:58left-hand batter waits
00:19:01and a foul
00:19:02Baldy stays alive
00:19:13next pitch is inside
00:19:14and that's ball three
00:19:24two down
00:19:25nobody on
00:19:27and a swing and a miss
00:19:28and that's that
00:19:30nothing doing this time around
00:19:32for the O's
00:19:32they're down
00:19:341-0
00:19:44back here at the ballpark
00:19:46onto the third inning
00:19:47and stepping in for the Yankees
00:19:49Robinson Cano
00:19:50the second baseman
00:19:51Robinson Cano
00:20:03and a pitch
00:20:07ball one
00:20:08no strikes
00:20:17and he takes a strike
00:20:24and he takes a strike
00:20:25the 1-1
00:20:29that's what you want
00:20:30it's a good miss
00:20:34the pitch
00:20:37slap the other way
00:20:39foul
00:20:50comes up empty
00:20:51as he chases that one
00:20:52into dirt
00:20:53catcher has it
00:20:55fires the first
00:20:55got him
00:20:56one away
00:20:57on the strikeout
00:21:05so the batting order
00:21:06turns over
00:21:07and now the shortstop
00:21:08Derek Cheater
00:21:09he was a strikeout
00:21:11victim his first time
00:21:19first pitch
00:21:20doesn't find the zone
00:21:26kicks and fires
00:21:28that one's in there
00:21:30at the count
00:21:31even at one
00:21:35righty delivers
00:21:38fouled off
00:21:39down the right side
00:22:00and he deals
00:22:04that misses
00:22:04and the count
00:22:05is even
00:22:06two and two
00:22:14stays alive
00:22:24and here it comes
00:22:27and that one
00:22:28is lifted
00:22:29in the air
00:22:30out
00:22:31number two
00:22:36the left fielder
00:22:37number five
00:22:38Joe
00:22:40DiMaggio
00:22:41and up next
00:22:42for New York
00:22:42Joe DiMaggio
00:22:43kind of a throwback
00:22:45no batting gloves
00:22:53and that's in there
00:22:54for strike one
00:22:59but why
00:23:00to kick the pitch
00:23:02strike two
00:23:25the pitch
00:23:30popped up right side
00:23:33flashes the leather
00:23:34on the running catch
00:23:35and that ends the inning
00:23:37so the Yanks go
00:23:38in order
00:23:39but they still
00:23:40lead it
00:23:401-0
00:23:51back here in Baltimore
00:23:53and now the center fielder
00:23:54Adam Jones
00:23:56you talk about elite defensive players
00:23:58especially in the middle of the diamond
00:24:00and this guy
00:24:01and this guy is at the top of the list
00:24:05first pitch
00:24:06just misses
00:24:07and you played
00:24:08behind guys
00:24:09and they love having your speed
00:24:10out there defensively
00:24:12one of the things
00:24:13that we talk about
00:24:14is how much pitchers
00:24:15enjoy having those elite defenders
00:24:17behind them
00:24:26the 1-1
00:24:29and now 1-2
00:24:31Boogan the one thing about that
00:24:33is speed never goes in a slump
00:24:35and defense shouldn't either
00:24:37hitting wise
00:24:38you can struggle
00:24:39you can lose your mechanics
00:24:40but the thing that you can do consistently
00:24:42every single game
00:24:43is play great defense
00:24:45if you're talented in that way
00:24:46and this is what this guy does
00:24:48and a foul ball
00:24:49he stays alive
00:24:56the 1-2
00:24:59swing and a miss
00:25:00and he got him
00:25:01and there's one away
00:25:03there's a small sigh of relief right there
00:25:05I mean just to keep that speed
00:25:07off the base pass
00:25:07it's not just the pitcher
00:25:09it's other guys
00:25:10that have to think about it
00:25:11from your infielders
00:25:12have to think about that runner
00:25:14potentially stealing
00:25:15but also be in position
00:25:16to make a play
00:25:17as an outfielder
00:25:18you're thinking about a base hit
00:25:19to the outfield
00:25:20I gotta get to it quickly
00:25:21to try to keep this guy
00:25:22from taking an extra base
00:25:23so I think everyone
00:25:25just a little more relaxed
00:25:26that he didn't reach base
00:25:27number 7
00:25:28watches that one for a strike
00:25:30standing in here
00:25:32with one down
00:25:38the 0-1
00:25:41rolled softly
00:25:42but that goes foul
00:25:51and a pitch
00:25:54misses inside
00:25:56one and two to count
00:26:03this one in the air
00:26:05center field
00:26:07two down
00:26:14batting nut
00:26:15the catcher
00:26:16number 13
00:26:18two outs
00:26:20base is empty
00:26:20next to hit
00:26:22number 13
00:26:33and he swings
00:26:34and misses
00:26:35and it's nothing
00:26:35you want
00:26:39here comes a pitch
00:26:42and a strike
00:26:43in there
00:26:54swing
00:26:55swing
00:26:55and a high fly ball
00:26:56out there
00:26:57towards left field
00:26:59DiMaggio
00:26:59makes the catch
00:27:01and that'll do it
00:27:031-2-3
00:27:04go the Orioles
00:27:05they still trail
00:27:061-0
00:27:16welcome back
00:27:17John Chomby
00:27:18with Chris Singleton
00:27:19and set to lead off
00:27:20the fourth
00:27:21Babe Ruth
00:27:39the wind in the pitch
00:27:42and first offering
00:27:44is fouled off
00:27:45he's been pitching well
00:27:47but going through this
00:27:48middle of the order
00:27:49second time through
00:27:50we'll see what kind of adjustments
00:27:52are being made
00:27:55next one misses
00:27:57one and one
00:28:01and the pitch
00:28:13and he grounds one to the right side
00:28:16sends it to first
00:28:18that's the first out
00:28:19in the top of the fourth
00:28:21well he's doing a nice job
00:28:22of keeping the ball
00:28:23out of the air
00:28:24lets the defense work behind him
00:28:26with another ground ball
00:28:27good execution
00:28:28so now the Yankees
00:28:29cleanup hitter
00:28:30Lou Gehrig
00:28:31drove in a run
00:28:32with a sack fly
00:28:33his first time up
00:28:40Chris you played here in 2002
00:28:42what are the memories
00:28:43that stand out
00:28:45as to being a member
00:28:46of the Baltimore Orioles
00:28:47for me
00:28:48it was just pulling
00:28:49into the parking lot
00:28:50and having
00:28:50those that were there
00:28:52with a
00:28:53an encouraging smile
00:28:54or a pat on the back
00:28:55regardless of how things
00:28:56were going
00:28:57it made it a lot easier
00:28:58to come to the ballpark
00:29:00whether you were doing well
00:29:01or you were struggling
00:29:02and then the way
00:29:02that they treated your family
00:29:04I mean this is a great
00:29:05place to play
00:29:06and I'd say it's got to be
00:29:07one of the top places
00:29:08in all of baseball
00:29:17number 26
00:29:19at the plate
00:29:20for the second time
00:29:21as he takes ball one
00:29:38and a foul ball
00:29:51text offering upstairs
00:29:53and you had a cameo
00:29:55in the movie Moneyball
00:29:56as an Orioles player
00:29:58in a highlight clip
00:30:06two balls
00:30:07two strikes
00:30:08takes the count
00:30:09with two outs
00:30:09good late sink
00:30:11on that fastball
00:30:12out of the hand
00:30:13looks so good
00:30:14and then
00:30:14by the time he gets
00:30:15in the hitting zone
00:30:16hard to get the barrel
00:30:17to it
00:30:18swings and misses
00:30:19and good work there
00:30:21as he gets a
00:30:21one two three
00:30:23Yanks held in check
00:30:24but they lead it
00:30:25one to nothing
00:30:32ready to go
00:30:33bottom four
00:30:34now it's the right fielder
00:30:35number six
00:30:36this guy makes
00:30:38great contact
00:30:38one of the best
00:30:39in the game
00:30:40at putting bat
00:30:41on ball
00:30:41he's got such
00:30:42quick hands
00:30:43and he's gaining
00:30:44pitch recognition
00:30:45that keeps him
00:30:46square to the plate
00:30:46there's a good chance
00:30:47that his bat
00:30:48stays in the zone
00:30:49a long time
00:30:50and that produces
00:30:51solid contact
00:30:52consistently
00:30:54the next offering
00:30:55misses
00:30:56and now it's
00:30:57even one and one
00:31:01righty to the plate
00:31:04and strike two
00:31:18got him swinging
00:31:19and he's down on
00:31:20strikes
00:31:21for the second time
00:31:22today
00:31:22I'm not sure
00:31:24that was the exact
00:31:25location the pitcher
00:31:26wanted
00:31:26but it worked
00:31:27he got the swing
00:31:28and miss
00:31:28and I'm sure
00:31:29a bit of sigh of relief
00:31:30after seeing that one
00:31:31go through the zone
00:31:36Ryan Roberts
00:31:37now at the plate
00:31:42in there
00:31:43and it's 0-1
00:31:52the Orioles
00:31:53still looking
00:31:54for their first
00:31:55hit in this one
00:31:59next offering
00:32:00is in for a strike
00:32:05the wind of the pitch
00:32:09bounced up the middle
00:32:10on the run
00:32:11throw to first
00:32:12throw
00:32:13and it gets away
00:32:16well I definitely
00:32:17think the speed
00:32:17down the line
00:32:18played a factor
00:32:19on that throw
00:32:20he had more time
00:32:21than he thought
00:32:22but as a fielder
00:32:23the speed of the game
00:32:24and the speed of the runner
00:32:25sometimes can get
00:32:26in your head
00:32:27and he just rushed it
00:32:28and failed to make
00:32:28a clean throw
00:32:30so next to hit
00:32:31for Baltimore
00:32:32Eddie Murray
00:32:37swings through
00:32:38that one
00:32:380-1
00:32:39you know Boogie
00:32:40if you're that base
00:32:41runner at second base
00:32:42you want to be quiet
00:32:43out there
00:32:43not bouncing around
00:32:45not distracting
00:32:46your teammate
00:32:47the hitter
00:32:48make sure that he can
00:32:49clearly focus on that pitcher
00:32:50and that release point
00:32:53the next pitch misses
00:32:54and it's 1-1
00:33:00so the tying run
00:33:01it's second
00:33:02and it is 2-1
00:33:21and downstairs
00:33:22get ready for some action

00:33:24good RBI guy
00:33:25at the plate
00:33:26runners in scoring position
00:33:27and a hitter's count
00:33:38good plate appearance
00:33:39there
00:33:40able to take the walk
00:33:41he's making things
00:33:42difficult for himself
00:33:43right now
00:33:44out there on the mound
00:33:45but you know
00:33:46his confidence
00:33:46should still be high enough
00:33:47to get out of this
00:33:48but he's gonna have to
00:33:49buckle down right here
00:33:52hitter's got some good
00:33:53opposite field power
00:33:54what I like about
00:33:55something being hit
00:33:56to the right side
00:33:57into the outfield
00:33:58is that the base runner
00:33:59at second
00:34:00has a very good read
00:34:01and can determine
00:34:03whether or not
00:34:03he can score
00:34:04on that base hit
00:34:06and a foul ball
00:34:20next offering upstairs
00:34:21good spot for the hitter
00:34:23definitely has the advantage
00:34:24in this count
00:34:25with runners on
00:34:26look for him to be aggressive
00:34:27on this next pitch
00:34:29one out
00:34:30runners at first and second
00:34:36next offering clips
00:34:37the zone count

00:35:00three and two
00:35:07two on one out
00:35:09swing and a ball
00:35:10lifted left field
00:35:13DiMaggio makes the catch

00:35:22the batter number eight
00:35:24Cal Ripton Jr.
00:35:26getting ready to hit
00:35:27if you don't get ahead
00:35:29in the count
00:35:29you can forget about
00:35:31having any success
00:35:32against him
00:35:40and the first offering
00:35:42is not close
00:35:44Roberts on third
00:35:46Murray on at first
00:35:47with two now
00:35:50and the next pitch
00:35:51is way outside
00:35:52he hasn't wanted to
00:35:54challenge him both
00:35:55of those pitches
00:35:55off the plate away
00:35:56don't expect anything
00:35:57down the heart
00:35:58of the plate
00:35:58you may just have to
00:35:59be patient
00:36:00and take your walk

00:39:55likes to shoot
00:39:56the ball
00:39:56the other way

00:45:56milestone
00:46:04swinging a foul
00:46:04back
00:46:05that's out of
00:46:05play
00:46:09the Orioles
00:46:10yet to pick up
00:46:11a hit here
00:46:16fouled off
00:46:17he was late
00:46:19now there's a
00:46:20pitch we haven't
00:46:20seen in a while
00:46:21it's gonna be
00:46:21tough on the
00:46:22hitters if he
00:46:22can mix that
00:46:23in whenever he
00:46:24wants
00:46:25two down
00:46:26nobody on
00:46:28bounce to the
00:46:29left side
00:46:30and it goes
00:46:31just foul
00:46:38Hawaii to kick
00:46:39the pitch
00:46:41tap dances
00:46:42out of the way
00:46:42of that one
00:46:52next offering
00:46:53his foul
00:46:54back
00:47:02kicks and
00:47:02fires
00:47:05and a ball
00:47:05evens the
00:47:06count
00:47:06well this is a
00:47:07guy that can
00:47:08be frustrating
00:47:09for pitchers
00:47:10because he
00:47:10fouls off so
00:47:11many pitches
00:47:12and grinds out
00:47:12the at-bat
00:47:13I'm sure
00:47:13there's sometimes
00:47:14where a pitcher
00:47:14would rather
00:47:15just give up
00:47:15a first pitch
00:47:16single
00:47:16than have to
00:47:17waste six
00:47:18or seven
00:47:18pitches
00:47:19on one
00:47:20hitter
00:47:23nice job
00:47:24of driving
00:47:24that pitch
00:47:25the other
00:47:25way on a
00:47:26line
00:47:26you know
00:47:26hitters
00:47:27they take
00:47:27so many
00:47:28reps in the
00:47:28cages
00:47:29working on
00:47:29going to
00:47:30the opposite
00:47:30field
00:47:31and it
00:47:31doesn't always
00:47:31translate into
00:47:32the game
00:47:32but right there
00:47:33it did
00:47:33and he did
00:47:34it perfectly
00:47:35and now
00:47:35they've got
00:47:35some speed
00:47:36on first
00:47:36so we'll
00:47:37see if they
00:47:37try to get
00:47:38him into
00:47:38motion
00:47:39and here
00:47:40is

00:47:43but with the
00:47:44tie and run
00:47:44at first base
00:47:45he's looking
00:47:45for something
00:47:46he can get
00:47:47a lot of
00:47:47barrel on
00:47:47drive it
00:47:48into a gap
00:47:49and score
00:47:49that run

00:48:20the bat
00:48:21very well
00:48:22I wouldn't
00:48:22be surprised
00:48:23if the skipper
00:48:24puts on some

00:57:11mechanics
00:57:18here's
00:57:24here's
00:57:25the
00:57:25designated
00:57:25hitter
00:57:26for the
00:57:26Orioles
00:57:26Ken
00:57:27Williams
00:57:27there's
00:57:28over two
00:57:29with a pair
00:57:29of strikeouts
00:57:31in there
00:57:32and it's
00:57:53going on
00:57:54ripton the runner at second with one away
00:58:13the pitch
00:58:16swings and lines a base head into left field
00:58:19throw comes in quickly
00:58:20and the tying run forced to hold on at third with one away
00:58:24well he wasn't afraid to hit with two strikes I think he choked up a little bit
00:58:28maybe spread out but he got the job done right there
00:58:34two on one out and into the box for Baltimore Adam Jones a guy who makes an impact not just
00:58:41at the plate but also in the field
00:58:44DiMaggio puts it away
00:58:46runner tags from third
00:58:47relay throw
00:58:49in comes the runner from third
00:58:51it's one one
00:58:52sometimes that can be a little tough to score on it was hit so hard that getting back to the
00:58:57bag the tag
00:58:58takes a little bit of time by the time that outfielder catches it but a really good job of getting
00:59:02that run in from third
00:59:05here's the third baseman number seven
00:59:08well with pretty good speed over there at first base I think the pitcher's got to slow everything down
00:59:12hold the ball a little bit step off just try to break the rhythm and timing of a potential base
00:59:17dealer
00:59:19and the first pitch misses for ball one if you're a base runner you got to stay dialed in here
00:59:24look for anything in the dirt try your best to get in the scoring position
00:59:28that one pushed foul
00:59:34two gone the possible go-ahead run at first
00:59:42that misses the zone and it's two and one
00:59:49righty to the plate
00:59:51out to short
00:59:53to second there's cano that's the third out inning over
00:59:58the tying run comes across and we're knotted up again
01:00:02we look ahead to inning number eight all tied one one
01:00:11welcome back and a new arm on the mound to start the eighth number 36 he last pitched two days
01:00:17ago
01:00:27we go to the eighth here's a speed threat alex rodriguez
01:00:31now this guy a player that if he gets on base has the ability to really be aggressive getting around
01:00:38the base paths
01:00:40first offering misses the mark well on paper it's favorable to have a fairly quick inning here with two of
01:00:47the three hitters
01:00:47he's set to face batting from the left side same side he throws from
01:00:54the wind and the pitch
01:00:58two balls no strikes the count gotta be real careful here 2-0 he's hunting for his pitch
01:01:11swings through that one out in front that time filthy change up right there just pulled the string
01:01:21and here it comes
01:01:24swing and a miss and that is strike two
01:01:36swing and now the lefty
01:01:40up the middle
01:01:43to first leadoff man is out here in the eighth
01:01:49the batter number 31
01:01:55here's the catcher to hit number 31
01:02:07and that's in there for strike one
01:02:14the wind to the pitch
01:02:18the pitch and that one off the outside edge
01:02:20and that one off the outside edge
01:02:46that change up right out of the hand just spit on it
01:02:57got him looking down on strikes and he knew it
01:03:05here's the second baseman Robinson Cano second baseman
01:03:16first pitch doesn't find the zone
01:03:27lift it in the air right field
01:03:30brings it in and that's the third out
01:03:33one two three go the Yankees
01:03:46lefty
01:03:46Gomez on the pitch out of the pen here
01:03:49the offense will need to be ready for the breaking stuff he's got a great curveball
01:04:01and welcome back at the plate
01:04:05leading off for the oreos
01:04:08the catcher number 13
01:04:12and the pitch
01:04:16and ball one
01:04:26next offering misses two balls no strikes
01:04:49and a pitch
01:04:54swing and a high fly ball left field
01:04:56DiMaggio moving under this one one down
01:05:04now better number six
01:05:09and now here's the speed threat outfielder number six
01:05:24in there for strike one trying to keep good speed off the bases
01:05:42down the line towards the corner
01:05:44down the line towards the corner and that one gets down fair ball
01:05:49and he's into second base with one away as the go-ahead run
01:06:05and next for the orioles brian roberts
01:06:08the switch hitter batting right next for the orioles
01:06:11the second baseman
01:06:15first pitch and that's in for a strike
01:06:30runner leads away at second
01:06:41man at second pitch misses there it's a ball and two strikes
01:07:05kick sandias
01:07:07kick sandias stays alive
01:07:23next offering is down low down two and two
01:07:33next offering is down low down two and two
01:07:38big strike out there as he works to strand that go-ahead run at second base but job's not done
01:07:45yet
01:07:45got to get that last out before you can exhale and get back into the dugout it's kind of tough
01:07:50to do with this home crowd applying so much pressure
01:07:56eddie murray
01:07:56eddie murray the next to hit for the orioles
01:07:58year in and year out this guy an mvp candidate
01:08:03and the first pitch misses for ball one
01:08:06year in and year out this guy an mvp candidate
01:08:22and the second two down there's a strike
01:08:34next pitch misses and it's two and one
01:08:42at the belton fires swings through that one for strike two
01:08:54this one
01:08:55this one popped up foul ground first base side
01:08:58garrett pulls it down and that is that
01:09:01one left for the orioles score remains deadlocked at one
01:09:05i don't wear a caper apron so i ain't saving you a cleaning house
01:09:08do you think that's just a statement then you're ludicrous like it's word of mouth
01:09:15we go to the ninth and the batter will be the shortstop derek jeter leading off for the yankees
01:09:21you know this guy's great speed is in the back of that pitcher's mind if he can get on it's
01:09:25going
01:09:25to give him one more thing he's got to think about and he deals late with the swing
01:09:40there
01:09:51the pitch
01:09:57and a base hit right there man aboard on the leadoff single
01:10:04he needed out one it's been a tough stretch at the plate lately everything was on time and fluid in
01:10:09that swing got a pitch you could get the barrel on and lined it into center for the knock those
01:10:13always feel good now a huge at bat in this game coming up go ahead run on base and now
01:10:20joe dimaggio
01:10:22this is what stat nerds like myself might call a high leverage situation yeah but not sure what
01:10:29the numbers say but clearly an at bat that could change the course of this game dramatically
01:10:38first offering misses the mark
01:10:48and a pitch
01:10:53one way to make a guy real uncomfortable at the plate is pound him inside with good velocity
01:10:58they're doing that right here
01:11:04the go-ahead run aboard at first nobody out
01:11:13next offering is in for a strike with two strikes may see some movement over there at first base
01:11:19try to stay out of a double play here
01:11:30the pitch
01:11:33sharp grounder that's through for a base hit
01:11:39lead runner to second so two on and nobody out a couple of hits in a row for him here
01:11:44couldn't get
01:11:45any air under it but he smoked that ball back up the middle timing was just perfect got great wood
01:11:50on
01:11:51it and there's just no chance for the infielders with how hard he hit it now the go-ahead runs
01:11:55in
01:11:55scoring position so big opportunity for them to jump ahead late and now here is
01:12:00babe roof pitch misses inside ball one
01:12:21that one missed really been able to slow down the game tonight with his at bats and the biggest
01:12:27one he's had so far he doesn't look anxious at all
01:12:36cheater over at second dimaggio at first with no outs
01:12:45that one's spoiled and the count now two and one
01:13:00round ball to the right side and it gets by him here's the throw to the plate
01:13:06in there he scores it's 2-1
01:13:13well there you go the rbi machine another clutch run scoring it back yeah he's been so good in these
01:13:21situations call it clutch if you want but his resume speaks for itself
01:13:28so now it's the four hole hitter Lou Gehrig
01:13:38first pitch and he just misses looking for some insurance or as our friends down in the south would say
01:13:45insurance no matter how you say it we know what you mean crowd locked in right now one run game
01:13:52here in the ninth
01:13:58the next offering misses and that's ball two
01:14:15left hand hitter waits that one missing inside it's getting squeezed a little bit here late
01:14:33the pitch
01:14:34the pitch and that's ball four
01:14:38oh this is their chance to break it open if they don't end up winning this ball game
01:14:43they're going to look back at this opportunity right here and have some regret
01:14:47number 26 stepping in now for the yankees
01:15:01on a line base hit in to score is the runner from third it's 3-1
01:15:08went up there looking to be aggressive and got something he could handle anytime you rip a line
01:15:12drive the other way you feel really good about what you did at the plate you trusted your hands
01:15:17you let the ball travel and you took the barrel straight to it that's great work right there now the
01:15:22base is loaded big opportunity for them to break this game open so a new arm out of the bullpen
01:15:27for
01:15:27the orioles zach britain this won't be easy for him as he comes in to the base is loaded
01:15:33how'd you like this summon from the bullpen playing the yankees base is loaded
01:15:40so up next reggie jackson
01:15:50first offering and it just misses
01:16:06and the pitch
01:16:09that's a strike you need a strikeout and you need a ball perhaps on the ground for a double play
01:16:14or
01:16:15get yourself a pop-up something but you've got to make some pitches but if he can battle and get
01:16:19through this he can earn some points robinson on the move towards the line pulls it in on the run
01:16:26runner tagging from third he's in on the sacrifice fly it's 4-1
01:16:31oh that's the third run of the inning these guys are doing a nice job of executing at the plate
01:16:36right
01:16:36now alex rodriguez two on with one out and up next for new york alex for the fourth time tonight
01:16:54first pitch doesn't find the zone still only one out here in the inning
01:17:22swing and a miss and the gout wanted to
01:17:34and delivers outside
01:17:50breaking ball and that got him he had two strikes on him and he hit him now that lack of
01:17:56execution puts a
01:17:58little pressure on the defense too to try to prevent another run it's been a rough inning
01:18:02and he's not instilling a lot of confidence on the mound right now
01:18:08number 31 the next to hit takes ball one well he's already in some trouble and falling behind in the
01:18:14count makes it even worse then you've got to throw the ball over more of the plate and that's where
01:18:20they
01:18:20can really do damage against a guy like this
01:18:29swing and a miss that's strike one well he's so good about trying to drive the ball to the opposite
01:18:35field gap in these situations if he takes that approach he could bust this game wide open
01:18:43the pitch and that's outside look in situations like these the air can get really thin up there at
01:18:51the plate got to find a way to breathe and slow everything down
01:19:01here comes the pitch swing and a miss this guy's sink has so much drop in it it's almost like
01:19:08a split
01:19:08finger fastball instead of just weak contact and balls on the ground he gets swings and misses and down on
01:19:15strikes he goes and there are two down now it's the second baseman robinson cano
01:19:46first pitch not close number four at third number 26 at second number 14 at first two out of the
01:19:55inning
01:19:58and now two and nothing pressure's on right here 2-0 count base is loaded you don't want
01:20:04to fall to a three ball count and then walk in or on he's got to challenge the hitter right
01:20:08here
01:20:18two oh there's a strike
01:20:33cano tries to check his swing now look to third and he went around that's ruled the swing
01:20:42two outs and a foul ball he stays alive
01:20:51base is loaded two down
01:20:58next one misses full countdown
01:21:08and here it comes got him third out and that ends the frame
01:21:14onto the bottom of inning number nine four five six coming up the yankees four and the orioles one
01:21:26back now as they hand the ball to a fresh arm to start the bottom of the ninth mariano rivera
01:21:31he pitched yesterday and we'll see him once again he's having an excellent season so far
01:21:37eras under two a lot of flexibility coming out of the bullpen back now at orio park and the batter
01:21:45now
01:21:53and the pitch
01:21:57and first offering is fouled off rivera he's known as a reliever that excels in really tough situations
01:22:05those high leverage spots it seems like he's at his best in these situations and obviously the ability
01:22:11to get the strikeout factors in
01:22:16righty delivers that one down the line and that's just foul yeah there are certain guys that expect
01:22:25to come in and dominate and they see the challenge the battle just a little bit differently they trust
01:22:31their stuff and they believe that their stuff is better than that guy standing in the batter's box
01:22:36what his swing what his ability is
01:22:52next pitch misses way outside looking to get something going this is the guy you want at the
01:22:57plate he's been great for this team he is a professional hitter
01:23:11and he's got a two scoring and a miss he's also going to win the game out of the game
01:23:21he's got a one-two scoring and a miss struck him out and the leadoff man retired here in the
01:23:27ninth
01:23:27and he'll be beating himself up on the way back to the dugout got a pitch to hit and just
01:23:32couldn't get
01:23:33to it i think that slider really caught way more of the blade than it was supposed to
01:23:40and now cal ripton jr
01:23:52ripton tries to hold up appeal to first and yes he offered at it
01:23:57the mental approach is a big factor too isn't it yeah boog it is and you know
01:24:03for each guy it can be a little different some people consciously work on focusing
01:24:07slowing things down breathing techniques and then there's some players that are just
01:24:11natural and they just seem to be more composed and less excitable
01:24:22next offering is foul back
01:24:35and the right hater deals
01:24:37ball one there a lot of times with relievers they just like to get amped up and they're not really
01:24:43looking to try and slow it down right they're just trying to get hyper yeah and perhaps make that
01:24:48hitter a little hyper and make him more aggressive and that way when they put a wrinkle change speeds
01:24:54he's out in front just a little bit chance to strike out the side now you talk about the benefits
01:25:00the
01:25:00advantages of relievers who can come in and get the swing and miss whether it's inherited runners or
01:25:05maybe a little jam that they get into themselves knowing that they can miss the bat tell you what that's
01:25:11huge and can change the ball game
01:25:20in the air center field number 26 under this one he's got it ball game
01:25:26the yankees claim the win here behind some great pitching and defense
01:25:31these guys know they have a long series ahead of them but they come out establish and set the tone
01:25:36in the first game of the series very important to get that put you in the driver's seat to win
01:25:40game
