00:00:22and welcome in everybody glad you're with us the show brings you a matchup of division rivals
00:00:27it's the new york yankees taking on the baltimore orioles with chris singleton i'm john chomby
00:00:34and chris we've got an opportunity to watch one of the true superstars of the sport eddie murray
00:00:39always exciting to see him in action and it seems like he consistently finds a way to impact the game
00:00:44yeah boogie it's offensively at the plate defensively when he's on the bases and this
00:00:49guy's just a heads-up player but he's got so much talent and he makes the most of that i
00:00:54believe it
00:00:54starts with his preparation because you never see him give away in at bat
00:01:02just about ready to go and on the mound today urban shocker yeah he gave up several earned runs his
00:01:09last time out i think command is a huge issue for him and fastball command he's got to trust it
00:01:15he's
00:01:15got good velocity attack hitters with it in this one so just about set and stepping in for the
00:01:22yankees phil rando up tonight for the yankees number 10 and a pitch
00:01:32in for a strike and that's how this game gets started
00:01:40first pitch 706
00:01:47next one in the dirt that's where you want it's a good miss
00:01:54the wind of the pitch
00:01:59swing and a ball popped up and it falls off to a good start with a leadoff dot with the
00:02:06way defenders
00:02:07track down balls these days i mean both from the infield and in the outfield there really aren't a lot
00:02:12of base hits on balls hit like that but there's always a little room back behind the first and second
00:02:17baseman to drop a lawn dart in there and he found a way and now they've got some speed on
00:02:22first so
00:02:22we'll see if they try to get him into motion joe dimaggio takes a ball here as he stands in
00:02:28now
00:02:31random gets his lead at first with nobody out
00:02:40next offering is in for a strike good speed on the base pass he handles the bat very well i
00:02:47wouldn't
00:02:47be surprised if the skipper puts on some type of hit and run or run and hit kicks and fires
00:02:54and that's
00:02:56through there for a strike out there on the mound he's setting the tone early with the fastball
00:03:0098 miles per hour up on the scoreboard
00:03:08nobody out runner at first shocker picks over random back in standing
00:03:22the one two and it's found away
00:03:39next offering is downstairs this fun guy to watch taking it bad he just battles up there he doesn't
00:03:45take a pitch off at all makes it so difficult on the pitchers out there you can tell they get
00:03:50frustrated
00:03:50with how long it takes to put him away next offering upstairs so here we go base runner at first
00:03:58could be running on the pitch he's got good enough speed to steal the bag to get in scoring position
00:04:03even if it's a swing and miss at the plate
00:04:11liner caught at second throw not in time as he's able to get back to avoid the double play
00:04:20as we take a look now at the new york yankees lineup
00:04:24one guy they want to get turned around in the sixth spot reggie jackson just a lot of inconsistent at
00:04:29that's from him lately and that's led to only five hits in his last ten games you know he's feeling
00:04:34it those hitless nights man they can be hard to sleep but i've heard he is putting in extra time
00:04:39in the cage trying to right the ship so i'm interested to see how he looks at the plate in
00:04:44this one
00:05:13and the righty deals and it's even up
00:05:26right hander kicks deals
00:05:38swing and a miss it's two and two this guy's got such a good sinker as a hitter you've got
00:05:44to look up in
00:05:44the zone if you look down you're going to be chasing stuff in the dirt fly ball down the right
00:05:50field
00:05:50line if it's fair it's gone and that is gone
00:06:14what pitch he wanted to hit spit on some other pitches in this at bad was very patient and it
00:06:20paid off
00:06:21so here's the cleanup hitter lou garrick kind of a throwback no batting gloves number four
00:06:29in there and it's own one and garrick hit cleanup for that famed murderer's row lineup
00:06:35as the yankees were rolling off one world series title after another still only one out here in the inning
00:06:47foul ball there
00:06:56why to kick the pitch
00:07:01that's inside well they're really running up the pitch count in this first inning
00:07:04lots of confidence from this team that is perhaps the hottest in baseball right now
00:07:11next one is off the play and it's two and two
00:07:26one down base is empty
00:07:30one down base is empty and that one wrapped foul
00:07:39a 2-2
00:07:44one down base is empty and now it's filled up
00:07:45one down base is empty and that one in the air center field jones under it and puts the squeeze
00:08:05on
00:08:05one down base is empty and that one down base is empty and the center fielder number seven
00:08:35really good look he's gonna have to find a way to get some weak contact maybe a swing and miss
00:08:40get into that dugout and hit the reset button next pitch is downstairs
00:08:52good eye right there
00:08:54good eye right there
00:09:04two one down
00:09:09fold off left side
00:09:10okay
00:09:22swing and a miss struck him out that's the third out
00:09:26two-run blasts for the Yankees this inning it's now a two-nothing ballgame
00:09:47bottom of the first and on the hill red roughing having a pretty ridiculous
00:09:53season so far singing yeah you see there with the sub two era very dependable guy and he's been
00:09:59pretty much lights out so far this season so you know when a guy like this takes the mound boog
00:10:04i'm expecting to watch him get into a rhythm quickly automatically getting loose there he's
00:10:10now in the game at first now number 23 and he deals mattingly number six takes a strike there
00:10:21as he stands at the plate now
00:10:34comes up empty on the swing 0-2 now well after putting up a nice inning on offense got some
00:10:39runs across this is where you look for the starter to go out there have a shutdown inning don't give
00:10:45that other team any hope you just hope that he can get through this inning get the bats back up
00:10:49there while they're hot hitting is really easy for some guys one thing that i could see already
00:10:54his bat stays in the zone on plane for an extended period of time and guys like that they have
00:11:01a high
00:11:02contact rate and they have more barrels because of that bat being on plane and even when you don't
00:11:07get it great it's still hit hard enough to dunk something in like that in front of the center fielder
00:11:16now at the plate brian roberts first offering misses badly for ball one
00:11:28runner at first with no outs here
00:11:41center field
00:11:44and there's one down
00:11:51all right let's take a look at the orioles lineup now someone who makes things happen for them in
00:11:56part with his legs adam jones boo this is one of those guys you wanted to play in those big
00:12:02game defining moments i mean he's such a consistent hitter you've got to love watching
00:12:06him in those situations and hopefully we'll get a chance to see that in this one
00:12:10now frank robinson his righty lefty splits there
00:12:35first pitch just misses this is one of those situations the infielders have to pre-plan and
00:12:42understand that the ball's got to be hit extremely hard right at them if they're going to have a
00:12:46chance to go for a double play number six leads off first with one away
00:12:59next offering is down low chris with that distraction and the speedy guy at first
00:13:05he's in a favorable hitters count well if nothing else i mean this is a great spot for a hitter
00:13:11to be in
00:13:12that one ripped that's back there turning looking and that one is gone
00:13:19he leaves the yard to right it's his sixth home run of the season and they throw a pair on
00:13:25the board it's 2-2
00:13:43power versus power right there like two locomotives colliding who's gonna win but a really good job there
00:13:50by the hitter getting the top hand working powers that fastball out of here now here is eddie murray
00:13:57first baseman and that's in there for strike one
00:14:11righty to the plate
00:14:15strike two i think he was sitting off speed there
00:14:20the 0-2
00:14:23the count is 1-2 tied up here in the early going
00:14:33swing and a miss struck him out and there's two away i love to see guys compete and i know
00:14:38he's
00:14:39frustrated that he wasn't able to do anything with that pitch you see it so well but you have
00:14:43to respect the upper 90s velocity and it is hard to catch up to and now Cal Ripken Jr this
00:14:53guy is
00:14:54one of the best athletes in the sport and he swings and misses at the initial offering we'll
00:15:00always know Cal Ripken for the streak but he was about so much more than that he really changed the
00:15:05way we think about the shortstop position the old one and fires in a fastball at 95 when Ripken came
00:15:26along he was not in the mold of a traditional shortstop he was a big strong guy his offer now
00:15:33that's strike three and the third out so we take a break Baltimore with a two-run shot this inning
00:15:392-2 game
00:15:49back here at the ballpark second inning set to go and here is Reggie Jackson he's not gonna get cheated
00:15:56up there no he's not he's looking to do damage with every swing he takes
00:16:03oh now this is blasted way back there on its way gone
00:16:12his seventh home run of the season and they jump out front it's 3-2
00:16:30love to see a hitter aggressive on the first pitch of an at-bat you watch him from the on
00:16:35-deck circle
00:16:35so when you step in the box you're ready to pull the trigger wherever it's at really good job by
00:16:41the
00:16:41hitter total conviction on that swing yeah the batter now Alex Rodriguez good defender he's been
00:16:57inconsistent offensively Allen and the first offering is not close
00:17:11the 1-0
00:17:15and there's a strike always exciting to see a lead off home run and an inning kind of gets
00:17:19the offense fired up and you start to expect a big inning
00:17:34right field down the line and that one
00:17:38slices foul
00:17:39is there a little wrinkle to that I think there was
00:17:42yeah a little slider action
00:17:48next one just misses the countdown two and two
00:17:54the wind of the pitch
00:17:59and a foul ball
00:18:08the 2-2
00:18:12swings through that one it's a strikeout
00:18:14and that's the first out very frustrating right there as a speedy potential base runner when
00:18:21with two strikes you just struggle to put the ball in play you don't even have to get a hit
00:18:25at that
00:18:25point you can help your team just by reaching on an error but some way you got to find a
00:18:30way to
00:18:30shorten up the swing and put the ball in play next time
00:18:37here's the Yankees catcher now number 31
00:18:45and the first pitch misses for ball one
00:18:58kicks and deals
00:19:02and a swing and a miss
00:19:05Patrick Johnson calling the balls and strikes
00:19:07pretty standard zone for Johnson sometimes he might get a little
00:19:12jumpy a little excited and expand the zone but usually you at least feel like the guy on the mound
00:19:16is earning it and that's important because
00:19:18you got to make guys earn it
00:19:22the 1-1 is cut on and missed at a pitch upstairs
00:19:41and the right hander deals
00:19:45puts it in the air out towards left center Robinson racing over to make the catch
00:19:53batting gun the second baseman number 30
00:19:57and next for New York number 30
00:20:00we talk about guys with good speed and definitely he has it but pushing the
00:20:05offensive side for just a second Chris
00:20:08it's the defensive side that I think the speed factors in the most
00:20:12first pitch not close
00:20:22popped up Roberts on the move
00:20:25no trouble here puts it away for the out
00:20:28and that's the inning
00:20:29one scores in the inning coming on this solo home run
00:20:33it's now a 3-2 ball game
00:20:48ready to go for the last half of the inning now here's the Orioles D.H. Ken Williams
00:20:54the designated hitter
00:20:58Ruffing back to work
00:21:02foul ball
00:21:04little tardy on that fastball is gonna have to get it going a little quicker get
00:21:07that front foot down
00:21:10all in one now
00:21:15lace down the line base hit right field and that rolls into the corner
00:21:20throws to second and the tying runs at second base with a double
00:21:25he got a pitch he could get to out front kept his bat through the ball and didn't
00:21:30pull off or roll his hands over and that allowed him to rip that ball down the line
00:21:35for the double Brooks Robinson now at the plate
00:21:46in there for strike one hitters got some good opposite field power what I like
00:21:52about something being hit to the right side into the outfield is that the base
00:21:56runner at second has a very good read and can determine whether or not he can
00:22:01score on that base hit
00:22:07Andy oh one
00:22:10and that one fouled off
00:22:13Ruffing
00:22:13one of the best strikeout pitchers in the game and that certainly is a benefit to
00:22:18him when he's in a spot like this
00:22:24Williams stands at second with no outs
00:22:27Williams stands at second with no outs
00:22:35line drive base hit Williams around third he'll score and then tie it it's three all
00:22:46back to back base hits he really shot that one down the right field line and
00:22:50somehow found a way to keep it from slicing foul one thing that was great about the
00:22:55approach his head was down all the way through the pitch and that's how you do
00:22:58it so next to hit for Baltimore Adam Jones drove in their only run in last
00:23:04night's game
00:23:05that one's in their own one yeah if you're gonna be in the game in high leverage situations
00:23:16you've got to be able to get the swing and miss and put hitters away
00:23:25the pitch
00:23:27the pitch
00:23:28strike two
00:23:30strike two
00:23:51strike two
00:23:52strike two
00:23:53strike two
00:23:53strike two
00:23:56strike two
00:23:59strike two
00:24:01strike two
00:24:02strike two
00:24:03strike two
00:24:07strike two
00:24:09strike two
00:24:11strike two
00:24:13strike two
00:24:14strike two
00:24:14strike two
00:24:15strike two
00:24:15strike two
00:24:16strike two
00:24:16Drifts towards it.
00:24:18He's got it.
00:24:19And there's one down.
00:24:25Batting nut.
00:24:27The catcher.
00:24:28Number 13.
00:24:36Now the catcher up to hit.
00:24:38Number 13.
00:24:39He is at the top of the game in terms of defense at the catching spot.
00:24:51Here we go.
00:24:53Grounder might be two.
00:24:55Off-balance feed.
00:24:56There's one.
00:24:57Double play.
00:24:58And that'll do it for the inning.
00:24:59So one run in the inning on this base hit.
00:25:03We're tied now with three apiece.
00:25:15New inning getting started.
00:25:17Here's the shortstop at the play.
00:25:19Phil Random.
00:25:20The shortstop.
00:25:22It's so impressive because these guys have to do so much study in preparation for their pitchers,
00:25:28for opposing hitters, and really their number one job is to guide that staff through a ball game.
00:25:34And so when you also can turn it up offensively and be a force there, that is a win-win
00:25:41every manager's dream.
00:25:42Next to the Yankees, the left fielder.
00:25:47Here's the left fielder.
00:25:48Joe Singing.
00:25:50He's a guy that covers both sides of the plate about as well as anyone in the sport.
00:25:55How difficult is that to do?
00:25:56Well, just look at the back of my bubblegum card.
00:25:58You'll see how hard it is.
00:26:00These guys are great, man.
00:26:01They have the ability to look out there, but also to be able to turn on the inside pitch.
00:26:06Those that can really sharpen things on the outer half, those are the ones that become elite.
00:26:13Next offering misses.
00:26:15And now 2-0.
00:26:19The wind to kick to 2-0.
00:26:23High fly ball, right field.
00:26:26Number six, under it.
00:26:29Makes the grab, and there's two gone.
00:26:31This is important.
00:26:32If he can go one, two, three here, it will be a very positive sign for him and for his
00:26:37team.
00:26:39Two outs, bases empty.
00:26:41Now up is the Yankees' DH, Babe Ruth.
00:26:45When he steps into the batter's box, the comfort level looks so high.
00:26:49It doesn't matter what kind of delivery that pitcher has, what kind of velocity, what kind of secondary stuff.
00:26:55He is so settled in there.
00:26:56He owns the home plate area.
00:27:15Close one.
00:27:16Doesn't get the call.
00:27:18Now 2-0.
00:27:27Left-hand batter waits.
00:27:32He swings and fouls one off.
00:27:41The pitch.
00:27:46Out towards right center.
00:27:48That's well struck.
00:27:49That one back there.
00:27:52And it is gone.
00:27:56So he just clears the wall.
00:27:59Home run number 10 of the year.
00:28:01It's 4-3.
00:28:16Any time you have a pitch down the middle of the plate, the percentages go up for the hitter to
00:28:21do damage.
00:28:22Even if it's a pretty good sinker like that one.
00:28:24Nice piece of hitting there at the plate.
00:28:31Base is empty with 2-0 away.
00:28:33Here's the veteran first baseman, John Mattingly.
00:28:36The first baseman, number 23.
00:28:38In there in its own one.
00:28:41Mattingly.
00:28:52And a pitch.
00:28:57Ripped into right field.
00:28:59Base hit.
00:28:59And that keeps the inning going.
00:29:05The center fielder, number 7.
00:29:07And now it's going to be Mickey Mantle.
00:29:15First pitch.
00:29:16And that's in for a strike.
00:29:29And here it comes.
00:29:31Good eye on that spot.
00:29:33He never moved because he never had time to.
00:29:36With that kind of velocity, you'd prefer that pitcher work away.
00:29:44Bounced out to short.
00:29:46And that'll do it.
00:29:49The Yanks do get one on the solo homer.
00:29:52And a home team down a run.
00:30:01Welcome back.
00:30:02Set for the bottom of the third.
00:30:03And now the right fielder, number 6.
00:30:07The right fielder.
00:30:09Here comes a pitch.
00:30:13And that one sliced foul.
00:30:15It's good speed at the top of the order here.
00:30:16You want to get it on.
00:30:17See if you can get a stolen base.
00:30:19Maybe get around the bases.
00:30:21And pick up a run.
00:30:260-2 as he waves at that one.
00:30:31The pitch.
00:30:35That one the other way.
00:30:37Hauls it in.
00:30:38And there's one away.
00:30:41Down back.
00:30:42Second baseman.
00:30:44Brian.
00:30:45Next to hit, Brian Roberts.
00:30:48He's sitting on 99 career homers.
00:30:51We'll see if this is the moment to notch number 100.
00:30:57First offering misses the mark.
00:31:03The pitch.
00:31:07Slow roller to first.
00:31:10Tosses to the pitcher covering the bag.
00:31:12And two straight set down to begin the bottom of the third.
00:31:16Number 20.
00:31:18Frank Robinson.
00:31:21And into the box for Baltimore.
00:31:23Frank Robinson.
00:31:24Good contact guy.
00:31:26Good defender.
00:31:34And that's in there for strike one.
00:31:39And the pitch.
00:31:43That misses.
00:31:44And one and one.
00:32:01And there's a ball.
00:32:03The guy at the plate could recognize slider out of the hand.
00:32:07Didn't stay in the tunnel very long in terms of depth and perception.
00:32:09And he knew right away it was an off-speed pitch.
00:32:14The next offering misses.
00:32:16And now three and a one.
00:32:28The right hander gives up the two-out walk.
00:32:32One of the things about that two-out walk.
00:32:33The base runner over at first base is going to have a very aggressive secondary lead.
00:32:37So a ball down the line or an end of the gap will produce a two-out RBI.
00:32:42And those are the best.
00:32:44That is if you are the offensive side of it.
00:32:47Paper.
00:32:48Paper.
00:32:54Murray in now.
00:32:55Takes ball one off the plate.
00:32:57If he's going to steal second, you want him to go early in the count.
00:33:00That way he's not a distraction to the hitter at the plate.
00:33:03Go ahead and get it out of the way so the hitter can focus on the pitch.
00:33:07Checks over to first.
00:33:08Back safely.
00:33:11Robinson off the first with two away.
00:33:20That one drifts inside.
00:33:35The 2-0 is in for a strike.
00:33:38Back-to-back fastballs in.
00:33:40That last one called for a strike.
00:33:42Probably go away.
00:33:42But look for him to come back in there to try to finish you off.
00:33:57And a pinch.
00:34:00Now one fouled off.
00:34:01Two and two.
00:34:03Two.
00:34:14At the belt and fires.
00:34:17Pitch misses there.
00:34:18And it's three and two.
00:34:20Three-two.
00:34:20Two out.
00:34:21Runner on first.
00:34:22A lot of movement in the infield.
00:34:23Hitters got to stay focused on the pitch.
00:34:26Kicks and fires.
00:34:29In the air to left center.
00:34:32DiMaggio makes his way towards it.
00:34:34Makes a nice grab and a full sprint.
00:34:36And that is that.
00:34:38And the Orioles leave one.
00:34:39Score holds at 4-3.
00:34:48And welcome back.
00:34:50John Chomby with Chris Singleton.
00:34:52And set to lead off the fourth.
00:34:54Reggie Jackson.
00:34:55Number nine.
00:34:56Reggie Jackson.
00:35:08The wind of the pitch.
00:35:13And first offering is fouled off.
00:35:16Well, he hasn't quite settled in out there.
00:35:18Four runs and three innings.
00:35:20He's going to have to have some quick one, two, three innings to pitch deep into this ballgame.
00:35:28Now the 0-1.
00:35:33Bounced up the middle.
00:35:35And one gone in the fourth as they get the lead off, man.
00:35:40Up next for the Yankees.
00:35:42The third baseman.
00:35:44Alex Rodriguez.
00:35:46And here is Alex Rodriguez.
00:35:49He is quite an athlete.
00:35:51I mean, you look around the other sports, basketball, football.
00:35:54You feel like he could thrive in one of those sports, too.
00:35:59In there for strike one.
00:36:02Man.
00:36:02I mean, nice job just presenting it to be better than it actually was.
00:36:10Next pitch.
00:36:11Not close.
00:36:12Up high.
00:36:18And he deals.
00:36:22Swing and a pop-up.
00:36:24Foul territory for the catcher.
00:36:26That's out number two.
00:36:33Now batting.
00:36:34Number 31.
00:36:39And stepping in for the Yankees.
00:36:41Number 31.
00:36:43This guy, one of the best defensive catchers going.
00:36:46You talk about framing.
00:36:47The ability to block, catch, and throw.
00:36:50He is at the top of the game.
00:36:52In there.
00:36:53And it's 0-1.
00:36:54Really good athlete.
00:36:55And many times we talk about, you know, the feet of infielders.
00:36:59This catcher as well.
00:37:00Really quick feet.
00:37:01He's able to recognize the pitch.
00:37:03See the trajectory.
00:37:04And get into a spot where he can block those balls.
00:37:07And keep them from going to the backstop.
00:37:13Next offering is way upstairs.
00:37:25Liner to second.
00:37:26And picked on the hop.
00:37:27To first.
00:37:28That ends the frame.
00:37:31Down in order.
00:37:33Go to Yankees.
00:37:34But they hold on to a 4-3 lead.
00:37:45Back here at the ballpark.
00:37:47Bottom four.
00:37:48And into the box for Baltimore.
00:37:49Cal Ripken Jr.
00:37:51This guy makes great contact.
00:37:53One of the best in the game.
00:37:55And putting fat on ball.
00:37:56He's got such quick hands.
00:37:57And he's gaining pitch recognition.
00:37:59That keeps him square to the plate.
00:38:01There's a good chance that his bat stays in the zone a long time.
00:38:04And that produces solid contact consistently.
00:38:08Not sure if he was expected for the pitcher to come right at him.
00:38:11But he got a nice cookie there.
00:38:13And just watched it the entire way.
00:38:19And he's down 0-2 as he swings through it.
00:38:22Really impressive with the way he frames.
00:38:24The way that he sets it up.
00:38:25Because sometimes those pitches are off the plate.
00:38:28But because he sets up and presents it so well.
00:38:30He still strikes for his pitcher.
00:38:33And 1-2.
00:38:37The wind and the pitch.
00:38:40That just misses.
00:38:422-2.
00:38:50Breaking ball inside.
00:38:52Full count.
00:38:533-2.
00:39:01The wind and kick the pitch.
00:39:05Popped up.
00:39:07Number 30.
00:39:08Under it.
00:39:10Pulls it in for the out.
00:39:15Now that is the designated hitter.
00:39:18Ted.
00:39:20Will's job.
00:39:24Ken Williams.
00:39:25The next to hit for the Orioles.
00:39:27Doubled his first time off.
00:39:38And that's in there for strike one.
00:39:41Oh, and an 0-0 count.
00:39:42Not every strike is a good strike for a hitter.
00:39:45I like the plate discipline there.
00:39:50Righty delivers.
00:39:54And a swing and a miss.
00:40:000-2 now.
00:40:03Good eye right there.
00:40:04I don't like to say he wasted a pitch.
00:40:07I think that was a purpose pitch.
00:40:08Change the eye level.
00:40:09Have him look up.
00:40:10Now go back exactly where you want to go.
00:40:12Next offering.
00:40:14Way off the plate.
00:40:17Left-hand hitter waits.
00:40:20The other way.
00:40:22Hauls it in.
00:40:23Two away.
00:40:28The third baseman.
00:40:30Number five.
00:40:31Brooks.
00:40:33Robinson.
00:40:34And next for the Orioles.
00:40:35Brooks Robinson.
00:40:37Singh, you talk about a guy that has all the skills.
00:40:39The range is really good, but the arm just stands out.
00:40:43And he makes all the plays.
00:40:46First offering misses badly for ball one.
00:40:49And because of that big power arm, he's able to play a little bit deeper.
00:40:53Make throws from the outfield grass all the way across the diamond.
00:40:56And still get a pretty good runner.
00:40:59That's impressive.
00:41:10And the righty deals.
00:41:13There's the strike.
00:41:30Two and one now.
00:41:34In the air out to center.
00:41:37Mantle in position.
00:41:39Makes the grab.
00:41:41And that'll end the inning.
00:41:42Nothing doing this time around for the O's.
00:41:44They still trail it here.
00:41:46Four to three.
00:41:52Ready now for the fifth inning.
00:41:54And stepping in is the speedy number 30.
00:41:57The second baseman.
00:41:58Chris, baseball today, so many strikeouts.
00:42:01And they are available to pitchers.
00:42:03But this is a guy that puts the bat on the ball.
00:42:06And is kind of different from the players that we see day in, day out.
00:42:12The 0-1.
00:42:17Swing and a pop-up.
00:42:20Drops into the glove.
00:42:21And there's one down.
00:42:25Now batting.
00:42:26Shortstop.
00:42:27Phil.
00:42:29Random.
00:42:32So digging in.
00:42:33Phil.
00:42:34Random.
00:42:35Yeah, his swing is so good.
00:42:37It's in the zone a long time.
00:42:39He gets the barrel to it a lot.
00:42:41And that produces more base hits.
00:42:46And a pop-up.
00:42:48Right side.
00:42:48Foul territory.
00:42:50Murray racing over to make the catch.
00:42:54The left fielder, number five.
00:42:58Joe DiMaggio.
00:42:59Joe DiMaggio.
00:43:03Two outs.
00:43:03Space is empty.
00:43:04Now the left fielder, Joe DiMaggio.
00:43:08Singing, you can't ask for anything more.
00:43:09This guy checks all the boxes offensively.
00:43:12He is the ultimate professional and it doesn't just start at game time.
00:43:16It starts in the afternoon the way he prepares and gets ready for the ball game.
00:43:20I tell you what.
00:43:21His teammates feed off of the leadership that he shows on and off the field.
00:43:25So next offering is in for a strike.
00:43:37Right-hander kicks deals.
00:43:41Swing and a ball lifted to center field.
00:43:44It falls in and that's a base hit.
00:43:47So he gets on base and keeps it going.
00:43:52The batter, number three.
00:43:54Designated hitter.
00:43:56Payne.
00:43:57Ooh.
00:44:02First offering and it just misses.
00:44:20Way high.
00:44:22He's been raking in recent games and a big reason why getting ahead and counts.
00:44:27He's been able to do that consistently and you see the results.
00:44:34The 2-0 is in for a strike.
00:44:37In today's game, not that many fastball counts, but hitters still in the back of their minds.
00:44:41They're looking for one.
00:44:432-0 changeup call right there.
00:44:45Excellent pitch selection to go with.
00:44:48Next offering is foul back.
00:44:51He's mixing his pitches really well.
00:44:53Late on that fastball after seeing the changeup.
00:44:55See if he can elevate one.
00:44:57I think if he does, he'll get the swing and miss.
00:44:592-2.
00:45:01Off the outside edge with that one and now it's filled up.
00:45:09DiMaggio off of first with two away.
00:45:16And that one fouled off.
00:45:28And a payoff pitch.
00:45:30That one pulled foul.
00:45:43The 3-2 is off the outside edge and that is ball four.
00:45:48Well, that's a nice job of grinding out that at bat.
00:45:50Saw a lot of pitches and ends up drawing the walk.
00:45:53Very gritty.
00:45:54So, two on with two away.
00:45:56Don Mattingly getting ready to hit.
00:46:03And the first offering is not close.
00:46:06Bullpen activity starting up now.
00:46:09Number 46.
00:46:10The left-handed reliever appears to be getting loose.
00:46:13Number 32.
00:46:13Getting loose as well.
00:46:16First and second.
00:46:18Two down.
00:46:21Swing and a ball lifted in the air.
00:46:24Shallow left field.
00:46:25That's his second hit of the day.
00:46:27The tag.
00:46:28And that's out number three.
00:46:30Inning over.
00:46:31Yanks strand a pair.
00:46:32But they hang on to a one-run lead.
00:46:354-3.
00:46:49We head to the bottom of the fifth.
00:46:52Now it's going to be Adam Jones.
00:46:54Leading off for the Orioles.
00:46:56On the inside corner for a strike.
00:46:59Go.
00:47:12Next offering is in for a strike.
00:47:15Two really good back-to-back sliders.
00:47:17Now in an 0-2 count.
00:47:18He's feeling real confident about finishing this hitter off.
00:47:21He can go anywhere he wants.
00:47:23Swing and a miss.
00:47:24And he struck him out.
00:47:26And the leadoff hitter retired in the fifth.
00:47:29Came after him with the fastball on 0-2.
00:47:31And that's a pretty good demonstration of what power pitching is all about.
00:47:34He's got the stuff obviously.
00:47:36And right there he used it to put his opponent away without needing to waste any pitches.
00:47:40Now the Orioles catcher.
00:47:42Number 13.
00:47:46That one's in there 0-1.
00:47:59And the right-hander deals.
00:48:02Whoa.
00:48:15Going to count one and two.
00:48:16Chris, we were excited to watch him pitch.
00:48:18This is a little more along the lines of what we're expecting performance-wise.
00:48:23Yeah, boo.
00:48:23Great pitchers like this.
00:48:25You may get one opportunity in one inning to get to him.
00:48:29To get some runs up on the board.
00:48:30And if you don't take it then, you may see zeros the rest of the ball game.
00:48:35And a swing and a miss.
00:48:36Back-to-back strikeouts.
00:48:39Definitely made him chase a little bit out of the zone right there.
00:48:41I don't think that's a strike if he takes it.
00:48:44Pretty textbook pitching.
00:48:45Get ahead in the count.
00:48:46Get the guy in the box on his heels.
00:48:49And then force him to chase your pitch where he doesn't have much of a chance to do any damage.
00:48:54Next to hit, number six.
00:48:57And he drops it down the third baseline.
00:49:01Off-balance throw in time.
00:49:03Play made.
00:49:04That ends the inning.
00:49:05Five innings complete.
00:49:06The Yankees four and the Orioles three.
00:49:12Coming on for the Orioles, number 46.
00:49:15And he'll do his best to keep this close.
00:49:17Well, at this point in the ball game, we're talking about middle innings.
00:49:20And he made a little length out of this arm coming out of the bullpen.
00:49:25We'll see just how many outs he's able to give his skipper.
00:49:28Top six.
00:49:29Now, here is Mickey Mantle.
00:49:32The center field, number seven.
00:49:35Mickey Mantle.
00:49:37The wind to the pitch.
00:49:40And a good fastball to start him off at strike one.
00:49:46The pitch.
00:49:57That's down and in.
00:50:03The pitch.
00:50:06In there at the knees.
00:50:19And a swing and a miss.
00:50:21And there's one down.
00:50:23He came out of his mechanics there.
00:50:24Typically, he likes to shoot the ball the other way.
00:50:27But that time, a little anxious.
00:50:39At the play.
00:50:40Reggie Jackson.
00:50:41He launched a solo shot back in the second inning of this one.
00:50:44Yeah, that was big for these guys early on.
00:50:46Definitely helped him get off onto the right foot.
00:50:58First pitch, and he just misses.
00:51:00Movement in the bullpen.
00:51:02Number 36.
00:51:03A lefty looks to be getting himself ready.
00:51:26Left-hand batter waits.
00:51:29Swings through that.
00:51:31Wow.
00:51:31Good luck catching up to that one.
00:51:38Here's a one-two.
00:51:41And down on strikes.
00:51:43And there's two away.
00:51:47Very strong coming out of the pen so far as he punches out the first two batters he's faced in
00:51:52this one.
00:51:52Getting straight to work.
00:51:54Man, it's talked about a lot, but relievers are just so electric these days.
00:51:57These aren't fun at bats if you're a hitter.
00:51:59And I'm so glad I'm retired.
00:52:07Alex Rodriguez stands in with two away as he takes a ball.
00:52:18Two outs.
00:52:38Swing and a miss as he was late that time.
00:52:41Well, he came right at him right there.
00:52:42Challenged him with the 2-0 fastball.
00:52:44Not sure exactly what he was looking for, but you've got to imagine that's a confidence booster on the mound.
00:52:49You're in that hitter's head a little bit.
00:52:58The 3-1.
00:53:09Swing and a miss, and he got him.
00:53:12That's his second strikeout.
00:53:142-3-4, two up in the home half of the sixth.
00:53:17The Yankees four and the Orioles three.
00:53:22And it's over.
00:53:28Bottom of the sixth inning, and into the box for Baltimore, Ryan Roberts.
00:53:33Meeting off for the Orioles.
00:53:34The second baseman.
00:53:36Roughing.
00:53:37Back to work.
00:53:38Rubber.
00:53:39Had a good eye there.
00:53:49There's a strike.
00:53:51There's a strike.
00:53:51So important for him to control the heart rate right now.
00:53:53He's got to go through the heart of this lineup.
00:54:04There's a 1-1.
00:54:08And a foul ball.
00:54:18And the pitch.
00:54:23Line drive.
00:54:26And he beats the throw.
00:54:28He's safe.
00:54:29The effort was there with the jump throw.
00:54:31You've got to love it.
00:54:32But it just wasn't in time.
00:54:34Still a really impressive play.
00:54:36Just to get to that ball and make it close at first.
00:54:39And not every shortstop could even make that play.
00:54:51Frank Robinson.
00:54:53The next to hit for the Orioles.
00:55:03First pitch.
00:55:04Just misses.
00:55:06Misses.
00:55:07Misses.
00:55:09Misses.
00:55:10Misses.
00:55:13Roberts.
00:55:14On at first.
00:55:15Nobody out.
00:55:23Base hit center field.
00:55:25Should be extra bases.
00:55:27Slams off the bottom of the wall.
00:55:29Runner around third.
00:55:31Brandon.
00:55:32With a relay throw.
00:55:33Safe at the play.
00:55:35It's 4-4.
00:55:36Man, Ziggy.
00:55:37He hit that ball right on the sweet spot.
00:55:39According to StatCast.
00:55:41The exit below 110 miles an hour.
00:55:44Yeah, Boog.
00:55:45I mean, that right there is an absolute missile.
00:55:47And he just put a great swing on it.
00:55:49Squared it up perfectly.
00:55:50Those are the ones that feel really good.
00:55:53Here's the Oriole cleanup hitter.
00:55:55Eddie Murray.
00:55:56The first pitch pitch.
00:55:58Number 33.
00:55:59Eddie.
00:56:02Murray.
00:56:06First pitch doesn't find the zone.
00:56:23runner leads away at second.
00:56:25So, two balls and no strikes.
00:56:272-0 count to a guy like this at the plate.
00:56:30You've got to throw a pitcher's pitch.
00:56:31Don't just try to get a strike.
00:56:33He could make you pay.
00:56:38Tied at four.
00:56:41And foul ball.
00:56:45Foul ball.
00:56:58The pitch.
00:57:01Fouls one off.
00:57:03Two and two.
00:57:19And now the count filled up.
00:57:20Three and two.
00:57:35To the right side.
00:57:38In plenty of time to first.
00:57:40Murray retire.
00:57:56And now Cal Ripton Jr.
00:58:00He's kind of an outlier.
00:58:01Especially when guys are consciously sacrificing content to deliver power.
00:58:13First offering and it just misses.
00:58:25Next offering is downstairs.
00:58:28I think ultimately you want to tie him up.
00:58:31Get the ball in on the plate so that he can't get the barrel to it and hit it to
00:58:34the outfield.
00:58:45Next pitch is inside.
00:58:46And now three and oh.
00:58:48Appears they're working around him with the base open, singing.
00:58:51Well, you know these 2-0 counts, boo.
00:58:52They're just not what they used to be.
00:58:54And we sound like old guys when I say that.
00:58:56But ultimately this is a strategic game.
00:58:59And you expect to see this type of approach by the pitcher in this situation.
00:59:03And a pitch.
00:59:05And that's in for a strike.
00:59:163-1 is on the way.
00:59:19On the ground to the left.
00:59:20Nice grab.
00:59:22Over to first.
00:59:23And they get the out.
00:59:24Great cat-like reflexes right there.
00:59:26Lays out, knocks the ball down, and then fires with that rocket arm all the way across the diamond.
00:59:32Man, put this guy in the mound.
00:59:39So two down now, and here is Ken Williams.
00:59:43Now that's the designated hitter.
00:59:46And a foul ball.
00:59:48And a foul ball.
01:00:08Pretty impressive.
01:00:10We haven't seen that pitch from him much, but he's got a really good feel when he throws it.
01:00:15And here it comes.
01:00:19And that's downstairs and outside.
01:00:210-2 fastball way out of the zone.
01:00:23I think he's trying to speed him up.
01:00:25Got to stay back.
01:00:26Off speed's probably coming.
01:00:33And now it's 1-2.
01:00:38He's got it.
01:00:39And that'll end the inning.
01:00:43Seventh inning coming up.
01:00:44It's the Orioles 5 and the Yankees 4.
01:00:56Welcome back.
01:00:57Here's the catcher.
01:00:58Number 31.
01:01:00This is a guy who is very highly regarded defensively.
01:01:03Fun to watch him control stuff behind the plate.
01:01:06Good game caller.
01:01:08Good at framing.
01:01:09But it's that big arm that really stands out.
01:01:11You come into the game knowing that unless the ball's in the dirt or gets by him,
01:01:15we're probably not going to steal anything today.
01:01:17So that's where you want to get a little more aggressive on your secondary lead
01:01:20and hope that some base hits, some slogs, some home runs can come into play.
01:01:26The 2-0 is in for a strike.
01:01:33Here comes the pitch.
01:01:36Fought off foul.
01:01:49That one not close.
01:01:51And it's 3-2.
01:01:52I'll say this.
01:01:53As a former position player and base stealer,
01:01:55when you come into a game and you've got a guy like this behind the dish with a big arm,
01:02:00you really have to change your approach.
01:02:02Can't try to steal because you'll get thrown out.
01:02:04Maybe get a little bigger lead.
01:02:05Be aggressive on the secondary.
01:02:07But this type of guy shuts the running game down.
01:02:10On to first.
01:02:11And they get the leadoff hitter in the seventh.
01:02:15Now that is number 30.
01:02:21Number 30.
01:02:23Stepping in now for the Yankees.
01:02:36Pitch misses inside.
01:02:381-0.
01:02:39Great take right there.
01:02:41Showed some really good discipline.
01:02:42Breaking ball coming in.
01:02:43You see it well.
01:02:44But don't trust that it's going to hang on for a strike.
01:02:46Nice job.
01:02:48Next offering is in for a strike.
01:02:51Trying to keep good speed off the bases.
01:03:00Next pitch is outside.
01:03:05The tying run at the plate.
01:03:12Makes the grab.
01:03:13Two down.
01:03:13Bill, that was a pitch you've got to crush.
01:03:16Unbelievable that he missed it right there.
01:03:18I'm telling you, he is going to be frustrating with himself until his next at bat.
01:03:25Now it's the shortstop.
01:03:26Phil Random.
01:03:28You talk about elite defensive players, especially in the middle of the diamond.
01:03:32And this guy is at the top of the list.
01:03:40Swing and a ground ball out to short.
01:03:43Cal gets it over to first.
01:03:45And that is that.
01:03:47So the Yanks go in order.
01:03:49Still down a run.
01:03:50It's 5-4.
01:03:52Run.
01:04:00So a lefty out of the pen.
01:04:02Number 46.
01:04:03It's his job to keep his team in the game.
01:04:16And welcome back.
01:04:17Bottom of the inning and into the box for Baltimore, Brooks Robinson.
01:04:21For the Orioles, the third baseman.
01:04:23Yeah, we go beyond just the, you know, fielding percentage and, you know, what it looks like.
01:04:28But the ability to have a range and, you know, close holes that, you know, are normally there against an
01:04:33average defender.
01:04:34But this guy is special.
01:04:36And you can see it in his first step quickness.
01:04:38Action in the pen down there.
01:04:40Wade Hopp getting loose out there.
01:04:50And now it's even up.
01:04:51Look, and the one thing about that is speed never goes in a slump.
01:04:55And defense shouldn't either.
01:04:57Hitting-wise, you can struggle.
01:04:59You can lose your mechanics.
01:05:00But the thing that you can do consistently every single game is play great defense if you're talented in that
01:05:06way.
01:05:06And this is what this guy does.
01:05:08The center fielder.
01:05:09Number 10.
01:05:11Adam.
01:05:12No.
01:05:13Adam Jones.
01:05:14The next to hit for the Orioles.
01:05:16A guy who makes an impact not just at the plate but also in the field.
01:05:24And the first pitch misses for ball one.
01:05:30The pitch.
01:05:33In for a strike.
01:05:34And it's one and one.
01:05:36No need to offer that pitch until you get to two strikes.
01:05:38It's just a low percentage of success when you want to try to go after that down and away pitch.
01:05:51Swings and misses.
01:05:53And a count one and two.
01:05:55The pitch.
01:05:59And there's a rocket into the outfield.
01:06:07Good two-strike hitting right there, Boog.
01:06:09A bit of a lost art for some.
01:06:11So, that was nicely done to beat the odds.
01:06:13I could watch base hits like that one all day long.
01:06:16And so could every hitting coach in the league.
01:06:18Just a nice line drive into center field.
01:06:20One-gone runner at first.
01:06:22Number 13.
01:06:24The next to hit for the Orioles.
01:06:27Grab ball up the middle.
01:06:28Oh, great stop.
01:06:30Slings to second.
01:06:31What a double play that was.
01:06:33Inning over.
01:06:35Acrobatic play to get this one started.
01:06:37Determined to get a good flip.
01:06:39And that flip leads to an inning-ending double play.
01:06:59Welcome back.
01:07:00And a new arm on the mound to start the eighth.
01:07:02Tippi Martinez trying to protect this lead.
01:07:08Tippi Martinez.
01:07:14Back here at the ballpark.
01:07:16Now the number two hitter.
01:07:18Joe DiMaggio.
01:07:23Joe DiMaggio.
01:07:25The pitch.
01:07:27And first offering is fouled off.
01:07:41And that one missing low.
01:07:59Next offering is fouled back.
01:08:10And now the lefty.
01:08:12And now two and two.
01:08:24Two-two now.
01:08:27Popped up to the left.
01:08:29Into foul ground.
01:08:30Robinson.
01:08:31Trying to get to it.
01:08:33Squeezes it.
01:08:34One away.
01:08:38The batter.
01:08:40Number three.
01:08:41Designated hitter.
01:08:42Babe Ruth.
01:08:48In now the Yankees DH.
01:08:50Babe Ruth.
01:08:51He's got a couple homers already.
01:08:53So can he possibly do it again?
01:08:55Come on, man.
01:08:56Of course he can.
01:08:56Man, those two he hit were legit.
01:08:58And he looks pretty locked in right now at the dip.
01:09:09And first offering is fouled off.
01:09:21Looking to get the tying run on base.
01:09:24Misses outside.
01:09:26And that is ball one.
01:09:35And another ball.
01:09:37You get to this part of the order.
01:09:39Yeah, there's some pop there.
01:09:40But more likely, there are some base hits.
01:09:42So very important to be patient.
01:09:44Let the pitcher walk you, if he will.
01:09:46Next one misses.
01:09:48Three and one.
01:09:49I almost feel like he's frustrated a little bit.
01:09:50He wants to be challenged.
01:10:00And the tying run is on base.
01:10:03Oh, you know this guy wants to swing it.
01:10:05But he's showing some good patience in this one.
01:10:07It's the second time he's taken ball four.
01:10:10Making a move at first.
01:10:11Pinch running here.
01:10:12Number 26.
01:10:14And now the first baseman, Don Mattingly.
01:10:17Known for his late inning heroics.
01:10:29First offering.
01:10:30Misses the mark.
01:10:31Good miss with that changeup away.
01:10:32He needs a ball on the ground for a double play.
01:10:35Minimize the potential threat right here.
01:10:37On the hitter side.
01:10:39Nice job of laying off that pitch.
01:10:42Next offering misses.
01:10:43And the count is 2-0.
01:10:53At the belt and fires.
01:10:56That one fouled off.
01:11:04Number 26.
01:11:05Stands at first with one out.
01:11:14With two strikes.
01:11:15May see some movement over there at first base.
01:11:17Trying to stay out of a double play here.
01:11:25On the ground.
01:11:26Could be two.
01:11:28Robinson.
01:11:28Toss to second.
01:11:29And that's two.
01:11:32Well, we can never overstate it.
01:11:34Pitcher's best friend right there.
01:11:36Double play.
01:11:36Gets out of the jam.
01:11:38Saves some pitches.
01:11:48Bottom of the eighth.
01:11:49Here's a speed threat.
01:11:51It's amazing.
01:11:52We get a chance to talk to a lot of opposing managers.
01:11:55This guy scares managers on the other team as much as anyone.
01:12:00And he gets to fly beneath the radar with the other more recognizable names in this lineup.
01:12:15Next pitch is outside.
01:12:31The big lefty turns, kicks, steals.
01:12:34And now two balls and a strike.
01:12:43Upstairs.
01:12:44This is a really good feeling for a hitter.
01:12:47At this point in the ball game, you know that they don't want to walk you.
01:12:50So, you're going to get a pitch to hit.
01:12:52You just better not miss it.
01:12:543-1 now.
01:12:58Jackson sizing this one up.
01:13:01Tracks it down for the out.
01:13:03And there's one away.
01:13:05Now batter.
01:13:06Second baseman.
01:13:08Ryan.
01:13:10Ryan Roberts.
01:13:11The next to hit for the Orioles.
01:13:13This guy has turned into a beast.
01:13:21In there for strike one.
01:13:23Some guys are just more confident if they can track that first pitch out of the hand of the pitcher.
01:13:27They don't care if they fall behind 0-1.
01:13:34The next offering misses.
01:13:36Ball one.
01:13:43Kicks and fires.
01:13:46And that's a strike.
01:14:04And a pitch.
01:14:07That's ball two.
01:14:25And now it's filled up.
01:14:35The wind and the pitch.
01:14:39In the air.
01:14:40Foul off first.
01:14:41And there's two down.
01:14:47Now batting.
01:14:48Left fielder.
01:14:49Frank.
01:14:50Robinson.
01:14:53Two outs.
01:14:54Base is empty.
01:14:55So, next to hit for Baltimore.
01:14:57Frank Robinson.
01:14:58He's a guy who does it all.
01:15:01I think when you contemplate him as a player, the first thing you think about is defense.
01:15:05And you think about that great arm.
01:15:06I also think about the speed.
01:15:08If he can get on, that's going to give one more thing for that pitcher to think about.
01:15:14And the pitch.
01:15:17Swings through the fastball up in the zone.
01:15:20That looked like a case of deciding to swing no matter what.
01:15:24That pitch was way up.
01:15:25Nice job of the pitcher knowing that this hitter's looking for something up that he can drive.
01:15:30But he just expanded the zone to his advantage.
01:15:51Next one misses.
01:15:53Three and two now.
01:16:05And he walked him.
01:16:08Man, that's a tough one to take on the full count.
01:16:11But I guess he saw it really well.
01:16:13It's a really nice plate appearance.
01:16:15Two outs.
01:16:16Runner at first.
01:16:18Next is switch hitting first baseman.
01:16:20Eddie Murray.
01:16:24Pitch misses inside.
01:16:26And that's ball one.
01:16:27The two out walk.
01:16:28Got to erase that and really go to work on the hitter.
01:16:31You got to go ahead and just let him steal if he's going to.
01:16:33Try to create the swing and miss and get out of this jam.
01:16:41The lefty, the 1-0.
01:16:43And that misses off the outside edge.
01:16:45And you wonder, is he in his head a little bit?
01:16:47Even if the baserunner doesn't steal right here, what's great is that he is dividing the attention of the pitcher
01:16:53and may serve to give his teammate a better pitch to hit at the plate.
01:17:02Kicks and deals.
01:17:04That one pushed foul.
01:17:29The pitch.
01:17:31Got him.
01:17:32That ends the inning.
01:17:34One left for the Orioles.
01:17:36They lead it 5-4.
01:17:45So a new arm out of the bullpen for the Orioles.
01:17:48Greg Olson.
01:17:50This guy can bring it velocity-wise.
01:18:01All set for the start of the inning.
01:18:03And stepping in for the Yankees, Mickey Mantle.
01:18:10Mickey Mantle.
01:18:13And he deals.
01:18:14Back when you played, it wasn't the empirical data we have now.
01:18:18It was a guy with a ruler and a diamond taking a colored pencil and drawing a line where he
01:18:23thought someone had hit the ball, right?
01:18:26That or just going off of gut or feel.
01:18:29What does it look like his swing is today?
01:18:31What's the pitcher throwing?
01:18:32They are sticking to the metrics and what seems to be most consistent for that hitter, regardless of who the
01:18:39pitcher is on the mound.
01:18:46That one in for a strike.
01:18:48Two and two.
01:19:02And fouled off.
01:19:18And now it's three and two.
01:19:20Three and two.
01:19:33And the righty deals.
01:19:35Fouled off again.
01:19:37And it remains three and two.
01:19:49Next offering is fouled back.
01:20:00The pitch.
01:20:03That's the third.
01:20:06Zips it to first.
01:20:07And that is a big first out.
01:20:11Up next to the game.
01:20:12The right field.
01:20:14Reggie.
01:20:15Jackson.
01:20:17So up next, Reggie Jackson.
01:20:20A lot of times you're looking for a guy to get that tie and run on base.
01:20:23But because of the power, you want him to tie up the game with one swing here.
01:20:29In there and it's 0-1.
01:20:32One run game here at the top of the ninth.
01:20:42He swings and hits a fly ball.
01:20:44Center field.
01:20:47Jones makes the play.
01:20:49And there's two away.
01:20:59Here's a big power threat.
01:21:01Alex Rodriguez.
01:21:09Here's a big power threat.
01:21:12First pitch doesn't find the zone.
01:21:21Two down.
01:21:22Nobody on.
01:21:24Pitch misses.
01:21:25And that's ball two.
01:21:26It's getting squeezed a little bit here late.
01:21:33Swings and misses.
01:21:34Two balls and a strike.
01:21:46Right hander kicks deals.
01:21:49Swing and a miss.
01:21:51Nice changeup.
01:21:59Right-handed reliever.
01:22:01And that's outside.
01:22:03Big pitch coming right here.
01:22:05Last thing he wants to do is put the tie and run on base.
01:22:08But he can't groove one either.
01:22:18Right-handed reliever.
01:22:20Got him!
01:22:21And that's the ball game.
01:22:25Another solid outing from him out of the bullpen.
01:22:27He's up to double digits now with his tenth save of the season.
01:22:31Close one here today.
01:22:32And your final 5-4.
01:22:34They hang on to win it by a run.
01:22:37For Chris Singleton and our entire outstanding crew here at MLB to show,
01:22:41I'm John Shomby.
01:22:42We'll see you soon.
01:22:50We'll see you soon.
01:23:11Our final line for tonight, first for the victorious Orioles, five runs, seven hits,
01:23:17no errors, they left four men on base.
