GamingTranscript
00:20From the hallowed grounds of Fenway Park,
00:23the show has an AL East matchup.
00:25It's the Tampa Bay Rays squaring off against their hated rivals,
00:29the Boston Red Sox.
00:35And we'll be back in the first pitch right after this.
00:47And towing the slab for the Boston Red Sox in this one,
00:50it's Sonny Gray.
00:52Chris, what should we keep an eye on here with him?
00:54A really good outing for him last time.
00:56Scattered two runs, was attacking hitters,
00:58getting ahead in the count.
01:00Great performance.
01:01We'll see if he can do it again in this one.
01:03Just about to get started.
01:05Yandy Diaz digs in now.
01:08And we are underway in game one of the series.
01:15That one fouled off.
01:25Swing and a line drive.
01:26That's a base hit into right field.
01:29So a runner aboard to start the inning.
01:32Batting second.
01:33Showed a willingness to drive that pitch the opposite way.
01:36Didn't get jumpy.
01:37Didn't try to pull the ball.
01:38He let it get deep.
01:40Took the barrel right to it.
01:41And then extended through the swing for the line drive base hit.
01:45He starts him with a fastball.
01:47And that's a pitch that's right in his wheelhouse.
01:49You need to be careful against him with that one.
01:57Thumbs up empty.
01:59On the mound, you take a note.
02:00You see the hitter's willingness to chase that pitch upstairs.
02:04Get deeper in the count.
02:06Try to climb the ladder.
02:08This one kicks away a little as he can't squeeze it.
02:26Just underway here at Fenway.
02:33That one hammered left field.
02:36That's got a chance.
02:37And it hits off the monster.
02:41The relay throw.
02:43And he's there with a double.
02:46Batting third.
02:47Anytime you smoke a ball off the wall,
02:49you kind of think about what it could have been.
02:52But obviously, you have to be happy with that result.
02:55And now, Junior Caminero.
02:58First pitch doesn't find his own.
03:08Late on that fastball.
03:17Hit hard on the ground is short.
03:19And that is a big first out.
03:22Batting fourth, seven fielder, Cedric Mullins.
03:35On the corner for a strike.
03:37He's in the top ten for most stolen bases in baseball right now, Siggy.
03:41You can't ignore him when he gets on base.
03:46That's a strike thanks to the sweeper.
03:57Got it.
04:01Now up for Tampa Bay, Ritchie Palacios.
04:10At the ball.
04:13Rutter at second, two down.
04:15As we play game one of this four-game series.
04:21Line, drive, base hit.
04:24Arunda around third.
04:27He's safe.
04:28It's two nothing.
04:29Picks himself up at RBI.
04:31You'll often hear the phrase,
04:33short two, long through it.
04:34And that's a great example of it right there.
04:37Got the barrel in the hitting zone early.
04:39Squirted up with the well-time slam.
04:41And came away with a beautiful line drive in the center field.
04:52Oh, one now.
04:54They've got him working a little harder in this first frame than he anticipated.
05:03Close, but called the ball.
05:05Ball two.
05:06He's just missing with some pitches that, I mean, those are, they're not strikes.
05:11And that's what you think, oh, good pitches a strike.
05:13But so many times pitchers are trying to tease the zone.
05:16And the last two pitches that he's thrown, good pitches, but even better takes.
05:27Out to center.
05:31And that'll do it.
05:42Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
05:44And starting on the mound for the Rays, Nick Martinez.
05:47Base runners are tough to come by with him out there, Chris.
05:50Yeah, this guy's been real stingy, man.
05:53Not allowing guys to play the game.
05:55Just keeping them at home played.
05:57I mean, just ridiculous.
05:58Someone win.
05:59I mean, he's dominating hitters.
06:01And a guy like this in the mound, one of the elite starters in the game right now.
06:05Jaron Duran, the leadoff batter, as he looks at ball one.
06:10And a big swing and a miss.
06:18Up the middle.
06:20Base hit.
06:21That was smoked through the infield.
06:24And a man aboard.
06:29That in second, center fielder, Roman Anthony.
06:38Anthony went deep in his most recent game.
06:47The 1-0.
06:50That's a real nice cutter right there.
06:51I mean, this guy can struggle with the inside pitch at times.
06:56So, I'd say that's pretty effective if you can continue to command it on that side of the plate.
07:00One down.
07:04One out man at first.
07:06Here comes Wilson Contreras.
07:17Right through there for a strike.
07:19Quickly in an 0-2 hole.
07:21You're going to have to give something up here in terms of power if you want to put the ball
07:25in play with any authority.
07:32Grounds one to short.
07:36Safe at first as they can't make the play.
07:38Batting for the shortstop, Trevor Darnie.
07:47Grouted to third.
07:49Could be two.
07:50Off-balance feed.
07:51There's one.
07:52Double play.
07:53What a twin killing to end the inning.
08:00Top of the second.
08:01And now the catcher for the Rays.
08:02Number 48.
08:05You know, Singy, they talk about Red Sox nation.
08:07But there is something to that.
08:11Because the Boston Red Sox aren't just about Boston or Massachusetts.
08:15It's that whole New England area.
08:17So, you're talking about Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Northern Connecticut.
08:22There's a whole segment of the country that is locked in on the Boston Red Sox pitch to pitch throughout
08:30the summer.
08:40Flares it into the outfield.
08:42And it gets down.
08:44Base hit.
08:45And a good start to the inning.
08:47Didn't exactly square that one out.
08:49But sometimes you don't have to.
08:51Nice line drive to the pole side right there.
08:53But he didn't spin off of it.
08:55That's the key.
08:55You still have to extend through the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that.
09:00They travel really well.
09:01And I think Red Sox fans are sprinkled all over the country.
09:11The 0-1.
09:14Strike!
09:15Woo!
09:24Ball in!
09:34Swings!
09:35Threw it in!
09:35That's a strikeout.
09:36Friday night shortstop.
09:38Next up, it's the first-year shortstop.
09:40Carson Williams.
09:45Swing and a miss.
09:470-1.
09:48Williams.
09:49Matched a homer in his last game.
09:56Swing and a miss.
09:57And it's 0-2.
10:05Strike three.
10:06And that's two in a row.
10:07Up next for Tampa Bay.
10:09Third baseman, Yondi Diaz.
10:22I'm impressed that he went right after him on that first pitch.
10:25That's the key.
10:26Try to get ahead in the count.
10:27Then you can play around a little bit more as it bat expands.
10:32Ball!
10:42Gets a swing and a miss with the sweeper.
10:51That's a little bit low.
10:53Really good take, especially with two strikes.
11:00That one misses.
11:01And it's a full count.
11:03Great RBI spot here.
11:04Just got to stay focused on the pitch.
11:06The runner will be in motion.
11:07So something in the gap should definitely score.
11:09And down on strikes.
11:12And that is that.
11:18Bottom of the inning.
11:20Joel stepping in for Boston.
11:22Cedan Raffaella.
11:24Cedan Raffaella.
11:26And that one fouled off.
11:35Foul ball there.
11:40Looked like you got a little excited on that fastball.
11:42Got to think to yourself.
11:43Want to stay up the middle.
11:45That way, if you're a little bit early.
11:46Here we go.
11:47You hit it out of the ballpark.
11:47If you're a little late.
11:48Opposite field knock.
11:50Batting six.
11:51Right fielder.
11:54Isaiah Canapalapa.
12:02And first off ring is fouled off.
12:08In there at the knees.
12:16Liner to second.
12:17It picked on the hop.
12:19Already two out here in the home half of inning number two.
12:23Two out.
12:23Space is empty.
12:25Carlos Narvaez.
12:27Up next for the Red Sox.
12:28He was hitless in fourth-bats yesterday.
12:32Check swing and he went.
12:34That's strike one.
12:40A little out front there as he swings through it.
12:45No, that's low.
12:54And a foul ball.
12:56He stays alive.
12:58Chew down.
12:59Dolbeny on.
13:01Almost got him.
13:08On the ground.
13:09The first.
13:09Arunda.
13:10He takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it.
13:20Back now at Fenway.
13:22And stepping in for the Rays.
13:23Jonathan Arunda.
13:24Arunda.
13:30That's the ball.
13:41Pretty rare location right there.
13:44Right down the middle.
13:44This guy paints the edges.
13:46I'm not sure if you're going to see that pitch again as a hitter.
13:50Hammered down the right side.
13:51But foul.
13:58The one-two.
14:01Swings and misses at the breaking ball in the dirt.
14:05Gets him.
14:06One away on a dropped third strike.
14:09Up next for Tampa Bay.
14:11The designated hitter.
14:12Junior Caminero.
14:18He must have been looking for something else.
14:20Because he gave up on that pitch a little early.
14:21It was right down Main Street.
14:23Probably not going to see a better pitch to hit in this at-bat.
14:31That one finds the zone.
14:330-2.
14:42Gets a piece there.
14:43We'll do it again.
14:50Up and in.
14:51Now one at two.
14:52That's a really good job of laying off the 0-2 high fastball.
14:56It's going to make that pitcher really have to respect this hitter.
14:59Even though he's behind in the count.
15:05Another one.
15:06That's five straight strikeouts.
15:10At the plate.
15:11Cedric Mullins.
15:120-1.
15:14He struck out swinging last time.
15:19This one in the air center field.
15:23And makes the grab.
15:25And that's the third out.
15:32Back here at Fenway.
15:34Joe stepping in for Boston.
15:36Marcello Meyer.
15:37Marcello.
15:39Martinez.
15:40Back to work.
15:41Ball.
15:49Ball.
15:51Ball two.
15:59On the ground to third.
16:02Fair ball.
16:03And that'll bring the tying run to the plate.
16:10Just a simple ground ball the other way.
16:12They had eyes on it, man.
16:14Sometimes that's all you need to do.
16:15Just let the ball travel.
16:17Put the ball in play.
16:18Oh, now this one gets away at the plate.
16:21Meyer in the scoring position on the wild pitch.
16:25And there goes the double play possibility.
16:27That's in for a strike.
16:39Just missed.
16:49Swing and a line drive.
16:50And that's a base hit in the right field.
16:52Here's the throw to the plate.
16:54Safe at home.
16:55And the runner scores from second.
16:57And now they trail by one.
17:00Jaron Duran at the plate.
17:02You look at his ability to hit the ball with power.
17:05And that high leg kick.
17:07That leg kick was actually something generated from his.
17:10Now this ball is well hit.
17:12This one's got a chance.
17:14And that one is out of here.
17:17He hammers one out to right.
17:20His first homer of the year.
17:22And the Red Sox jump in front.
17:24It's 3-2.
17:26Chris, we knew this moment was coming for him soon.
17:29Yup, but it finally came.
17:30We knew it was only a matter of time before he was going to connect with one.
17:34Just like that.
17:35Just too good of a hitter at the plate.
17:40Fouled off.
17:41He was late.
17:41With the big bats coming off and a home run already surrendered.
17:45He's really going to have to execute against these next couple of batters.
17:56That's a hit.
18:02Nice job of driving that pitch the other way out of line.
18:05You know, hitters, they take so many reps in the game.
18:08Rudder takes off on the ground to third.
18:12And it gets by him.
18:14Anthony coming home.
18:16And they lead by two.
18:20Comes through with the RBI.
18:22I know it was a ground ball, but it was absolutely hammered through the infield.
18:26Well, that's not one you're excited to get in front of if you're an infielder.
18:29You know, they hammered on a long base hit.
18:32Contreras headed home.
18:35He'll score.
18:36And they take a three-run lead.
18:38Puts a run on the board and picks up an RBI.
18:41Everything was on time and fluid in that swing.
18:44Got a pitch you could get the barrel on and lined it in the center for the knock.
18:47Those always feel good.
18:49Hit in the air.
18:50Center field.
18:51And there's one down.
18:56Isaiah Connor-Falefa up to the plate.
18:59Grounded out his first time.
19:02Swing and a ground ball.
19:04And that one finds its way through.
19:06And now to a board.
19:12He kind of rolled over on this pitch a little bit,
19:15but he got enough behind it to shoot it through for a knock.
19:18And we'll take that any time you can get him to find a hole.
19:21That one catches the zone.
19:22Strike one.
19:33Center field.
19:34Base hit and a run and to score.
19:37Here's the throw.
19:39In there safely.
19:41Well done.
19:42Drives in the run.
19:43When you flare a ball out behind second base,
19:45it's really a tough spot for anyone to get to.
19:47And you're never trying to do that as a hitter.
19:50But when you do, I tell you what,
19:52you're yelling at it the entire way to get down.
19:55Two on, one out.
19:56That one is absolutely belted.
19:59And it's into the gap.
20:01One run across.
20:04Narvaez.
20:04Headed for the plate.
20:06Cut off.
20:07Throw to third.
20:08Not in time.
20:09He's safe.
20:11Gets the job done as he brings home a pair.
20:13Just a beautiful trip.
20:26We start to finish.
20:27Got a pitch.
20:28He could drive.
20:29Turned on it.
20:30And liner snagged at first.
20:34It's never fun going back to the dugout after hitting the line drive that finds a glove.
20:38But you will get some high fives.
20:40You know, when you make great contact, you feel like you've done everything right.
20:43But in this game of baseball, not everything is in your control.
20:47Duran in the box now.
20:49Takes strike one.
20:53Sliced hard but fouled.
20:55Two outs in a runner, a third.
20:57Here in the last half of the third.
20:59Next offering way upstairs.
21:06And it's fouled off.
21:07They'll do it again.
21:09His eyes got big.
21:10He saw that change up way out in front.
21:12But better to pull it than to get jammed on something off speed like that.
21:16Swings through it for the K.
21:18That one ends the onslaught and the inning.
21:26Back here at Fenway.
21:28All set for the start of the inning.
21:30Every pitcher wants a run support and having a lead is nice.
21:33But it can be challenging for some pitchers.
21:35I think keeping the mindset to attack instead of trying to be too fine and have too much finesse.
21:41Go after hitters and get quick outs.
21:44It just shaved the zone.
21:46Still two challenges left for them.
21:52And the 0-1.
21:55That clips the corner.
22:06Popped up.
22:08Raffaella under it.
22:11And there's one down.
22:13Here's Gavin Lux to hit.
22:15Wide to center his first time.
22:17Gavin Lux.
22:24So, Boog, you went to college in this town.
22:27What was it like for you being a college student and having the opportunity to bounce over here to Fenway
22:31Park and see some games?
22:32Yeah, in fact, 1990, a couple of college classmates and I, we were in college.
22:37We bought standing room tickets.
22:39And then the next night, got a chance to see the Red Sox clinch the East against the White Sox.
22:45And that sliding catch in the corner by Tom Brudansky.
22:48The Red Sox would end up losing to the Oakland A's in the playoffs.
22:53But that's one of the things that I'll think about in terms of memories from going to college and going
22:58to Fenway.
23:12Right through there for a strike.
23:14Well, he's been incredibly efficient in this one.
23:16First pitch strike percentage over 70%.
23:18That's well above league average.
23:20And that's what's allowed him to pitch well up until this point.
23:24Two down, nobody on.
23:26That one finds the zone.
23:27Oh, with two down.
23:35Got him swinging for the K.
23:38That's his eighth strike out of the game.
23:44Now pitching for Tampa Bay.
23:45Pitcher on here, Ian Seymour.
23:48I think it's got to be a little tough coming in out of the pen when your guys are trailing
23:51so big on the scoreboard.
23:53Just doesn't have the same intensity to it.
23:55But he's got to find a way because these batters count the same for his stats, obviously, regardless of the
24:01score.
24:02You know, these Red Sox really producing with runners on.
24:05It's been a right place, right time kind of game for them.
24:08They put a bunch of runs on the board, thanks in large part to four hits with runners in scoring
24:12position.
24:15Fights it off.
24:16He'll see another.
24:17On top of that, they haven't left many runners on base.
24:19So they've been efficient getting runners on and finding ways to bring them home.
24:26Battling here as he fouls it away.
24:30And the 0-2.
24:33Oh, great stop.
24:35And they get the out.
24:38Wilson Contreras now up to the plate.
24:41First baseman, Wilson Contreras.
24:49And first off ring is fouled off.
24:55Right through there for a strike.
25:00Ball.
25:05The Bo Sox up big in this one.
25:08We're here at the bottom of the fourth.
25:10On the ground right side.
25:12Arunda takes it himself.
25:14Already two gone here in the home four.
25:22There's a swing and a drive.
25:27That's down.
25:28One hops off the wall.
25:30And that's a double.
25:34He was all over that one.
25:37Just a cookie down the middle.
25:38I mean, those are the ones you dream about.
25:40Ones in the cage you're just hoping you get in the ball game.
25:42Right down the middle, not a whole lot of velocity.
25:44Right on top of it.
25:46Raffaella in the box now.
25:48Takes strike one.
25:52Runner at second.
25:53Two down.
25:57Cuts and misses.
25:58It's a strikeout.
26:04Ready now for the fifth inning.
26:06And stepping in for the Rays.
26:07Johnny DeLuca.
26:16Right through there for a strike.
26:18Well, these Rays, as this game goes on, have to be more disciplined at the plate.
26:22Chasing pitches has been a big part of the story.
26:25We've seen it quite a bit today.
26:26It's been tough for them to make contact at times.
26:28And it just doesn't look like they're seeing it very well as a group.
26:35Outside.
26:36And on the mound, you know confidence has to be pretty high with all of the swings and misses.
26:41He's had them eaten out of the palm of his hand pretty much all game.
26:45Vans another.
26:46And that's three straight strikeouts.
26:56That to right.
26:57Connor Falefa settles underneath it.
27:00And there's two down.
27:02So the Rays batting order turns over.
27:05Yandy Diaz now.
27:07Singled and scored back in the first.
27:09He's one for two.
27:20One way to make a guy real uncomfortable at the plate is pound him inside with good velocity.
27:26They're doing that right here.
27:31Swing and a ground ball at the middle.
27:33That's a base hit.
27:35And they had their first hit since the second inning.
27:39Up next for Tampa.
27:40Timing on the swing was good.
27:41Able to shoot the ball up the middle.
27:43Didn't square it up as much as he probably would have liked.
27:45But that's a good approach paying off.
27:49Oh.
28:00The 1-0.
28:02Up.
28:16Diaz leads off first with two down to the inning.
28:23Swing and a miss.
28:24Curve ball in the dirt.
28:27That completes the strikeout.
28:28Inning over.
28:37Back in Boston.
28:38Joe stepping in for Boston.
28:40Isaiah Kiner-Falefa.
28:42Isaiah Kiner-Falefa.
28:45And that one clips the corner.
28:47You know, these Red Sox putting together some really good at-bats in this game.
28:50There's been a lot to like with how they're approaching their chances at the plate.
28:54It looked to me like they really wanted to get to the starter early.
28:57Get him out of the game before he settles in.
28:59So I'd say mission accomplished.
29:05Comes up empty.
29:06That's strike two.
29:10Knocks that one away.
29:11And we'll do it again.
29:16That's foul off to the right side.
29:18Keeps the A.B. going.
29:25No question about this one.
29:27It's out of here.
29:33A solo shot.
29:35And they boost their lead.
29:37That one just sounded different.
29:40Man, it might have been the loudest moment yet.
29:41Man, my ears are ringing.
29:43I can feel that swing from the boot.
29:45At the moment.
29:48Nobody on.
29:49Nobody out with a run in.
29:51Last half of inning number five.
29:53Mullins turns to the right on the move.
29:56And there's one away.
29:59Marcello Meyer up next for the Red Sox.
30:04No, that's the ball.
30:07Meyer.
30:10So two balls and no strikes.
30:13No, that's the ball.
30:17In today's game, not that many fastball counts.
30:20But hitters still in the back of their minds.
30:22They're looking for one.
30:23Two-way changeup call right.
30:25This one's into the outfield.
30:26Could be extra bases.
30:28Now he'll turn for second.
30:29Pulls in with a double.
30:31Third hit for him today.
30:34Having himself a really nice game at the plate.
30:36Great hands on that swing.
30:38Took the barrel right to the baseball.
30:40Caught it out front.
30:41And licked it into the gap.
30:42At that point, there's probably no question in his mind that he was going for two.
30:46That's just a great feeling.
30:48Check swing.
30:49He held up.
30:50Two balls, no strikes.
30:51Nobody on the team has more stolen bases than he does this season, Chris.
30:56And that drops in for a strike.
30:58Durbin wants another look at the called strike.
31:01It's a challenge.
31:02And the strike is overturned after a view.
31:05They'll keep both their challenges.
31:08One out and a runner at second.
31:09All Red Sox in this one.
31:12And ball four to a board.
31:15He did not take the bat off his shoulder the entire at-bat.
31:19So the Red Sox lineup turns over.
31:22Jaron Duran.
31:23The next to hit.
31:24That one finds the zone.
31:27Strike one.
31:31And foul ball.
31:35Field two.
31:37Swing and a miss.
31:39Struck him out.
31:40Up next for the Red Sox.
31:42Center fielder.
31:44Roman.
31:50Anthony.
31:54Up the middle.
31:55And that chance handled.
31:57No throw here.
31:58And the bases are now loaded with two away.
32:02Up next for the Red Sox.
32:02So they're all loaded up.
32:04Wilson Contreras.
32:05Up next for the Red Sox.
32:08Hoop.
32:16Next offering is foul back.
32:22The 0-2.
32:24And that's a strikeout looking.
32:27Ending over and it could have been worse.
32:37All set for the top of the sixth.
32:40At the plate now for the Rays is the D.H.
32:42Junior Caminero.
32:47Caminero.
32:4822 years old.
32:50And he was born in the Dominican Republic.
32:54Up.
33:02That's a ball.
33:09Splits the plate.
33:11Two balls.
33:12Two strikes the count.
33:20He goes down looking.
33:22Up next for Tampa Bay.
33:24Down here.
33:25That's it.
33:26Hold on.
33:48He's been ranking in recent games.
33:51And a big reason why getting ahead in counts.
33:54He's been able to do that consistently.
33:56And you see the results.
33:58Challenge from behind the dish here.
34:00A rare three ball count here.
34:03He's been throwing strikes all day.
34:04Got to be ready to hit if you're in the box.
34:06Just caught the zone by a whisker.
34:09And the call is overturned.
34:10So they've still got both their challenges.
34:14Now a miss.
34:16And an ABS challenge coming from behind the dish.
34:21It just shaved the zone.
34:24Still two challenges left for them.
34:41And now the count is full.
34:44And another power hitter lurking in the on-deck circle.
34:50Stays alive.
34:55Three, two.
34:58Fouled off.
34:59And they'll do it again.
35:04Payoff pitch.
35:08Swing and a pop-up.
35:13Meyer takes it in for the out.
35:16Two away.
35:17Two down bases in.
35:19Right.
35:24So next to the plate for Tampa Bay.
35:27Richie Palacios.
35:31That's inside.
35:43Two down.
35:44Nobody on.
35:45And we're in the top half of the sixth.
35:50This one in the air center field.
35:54And that'll do it.
36:04Now the Chiefs.
36:05Now on the mound for the Rays.
36:07Mason Engler.
36:08Well, he hasn't pitched in a while.
36:09Coming on here after five days rest.
36:11So he should be rested.
36:13But we'll see if he has any rust to shake off.
36:17And done.
36:17Next one.
36:25Oh.
36:32Next offering is fouled back.
36:38Just missed.
36:46That's the third.
36:48Riff.
36:48And he can't glove it.
36:49It's by him.
36:52Oh, this has been a really nice game at the plate for him.
36:55He looks locked in.
36:57Smash that one through the infield for the knock.
36:59When it's hit that hard, it makes it very tough on the infielders to make any sort of play.
37:04Raffaella in the box now.
37:06No balls and a strike.
37:11Right through there for a strike.
37:13All right.
37:13Now he may have not liked either of those first two pitches or agreed with the umpire's calls.
37:18But at this point, he's going to have to bear down and be ready to hit anything close to the
37:22zone.
37:25The 0-2.
37:280-2 curve right there.
37:29Hitter kind of expects that.
37:31And good job of just showing that confidence and trying to get back into this count.
37:38Popped up to the left.
37:39Into foul ground.
37:42And there's one down.
37:45Up next for the left side.
37:47Right fielder, Isaiah Tainer-Falapa.
37:53Chris, he's currently the team leader at OPS.
38:01All one there.
38:03All one there.
38:12Left field.
38:15And a foul ball.
38:21That one kicks away from the catcher.
38:24Throws to second.
38:26He's in there.
38:27And now a man into scoring position.
38:35Man at second.
38:37Missed with a changeup.
38:39And now 3-2.
38:48Got him.
38:50Two gone.
38:51Up next for the Red Sox.
38:53Here's the catcher.
38:54Carlos Narvaez.
38:56Carlos Narvaez.
39:03Runner at second.
39:04Two down.
39:05Here in the bottom of the sixth.
39:10Down low.
39:11It kicks away.
39:16Story up to third on the wild pitch.
39:23Ball to strike.
39:25Ball two.
39:35Runner at third.
39:36Two away.
39:41This one in the air right field.
39:43Oh, what a lunging grab.
39:53Welcome back.
39:54We're in the seventh.
39:55We have a new pitcher on the mound.
39:57Number 56.
39:58He last pitched four days ago.
40:00So he should feel pretty fresh.
40:06Both.
40:14Big and bad right here.
40:15He did the team thing.
40:16Took until he got a strike.
40:18Now he's got to go to work.
40:20Shorten up that swing a little bit.
40:21Do whatever it takes to get on base.
40:24Swing and a ball.
40:25Hit out towards left center field.
40:27And no one can get there.
40:29Around first.
40:30Heading for two.
40:32And he greets the new arm from the bullpen with a double.
40:37That was exactly what you're looking to do with the pitch away.
40:41Especially in that situation.
40:42Drive it into the opposite field gap.
40:44Got himself two bags on a great swing of the bat.
40:50Right down to shoot.
40:52And that's strike one.
41:03And it's second.
41:05Ball one.
41:16That pitch gets the corner.
41:18And the count one and two.
41:30Struck him out swinging.
41:33Chased the fastball up the ladder for a strike three.
41:36So now with one away and a man at second.
41:40And stepping in for the raise.
41:42Johnny DeLuca.
41:44No.
41:45That's off the plate.
41:53Right through there for a strike.
42:08Fastball for a strike at ninety-five.
42:12One out and a runner at second.
42:14Here in the top half of inning number seven.
42:20That one way inside.
42:23Straighten him up a little bit.
42:30In the dirt.
42:31Blocked.
42:40And a payoff pitch.
42:42And ball four to a board.
42:45Now batting.
42:46Shortstop.
42:47Number seven.
42:59Hard liner.
43:01Hard liner.
43:02Long run on his horse.
43:04Makes the grab.
43:05Throws to second.
43:09Back to first.
43:10And they got him.
43:11Double play.
43:19This one isn't exactly close, Chris.
43:22Let's go off script for a moment.
43:24I'm game.
43:24Were we on script?
43:25Never.
43:26Seeing you one of the biggest ways the game has changed.
43:28Bullpen arms.
43:29So many elite level bullpen arms.
43:33Yeah.
43:33And I'm glad I'm not playing anymore.
43:35I mean, it's just a nightmare.
43:37And that door swings open out of the bullpen.
43:40You know what's coming in is ninety-five and above with at least one nasty pitch.
43:45The other component is you get less viewings of a specific pitcher.
43:50So your ability to go to school on one guy, you maybe get two looks at him and then he's
43:56gone.
43:57Yeah.
43:57And I mean, these guys utilize the iPads and try to see previous footage of that pitcher.
44:02But it's just not the same as having an actual look.
44:05Descented hitter, Kalev Derby.
44:18Nope.
44:19That's low.
44:28This one popped up.
44:29Foul ground first base side.
44:33Arunda takes it in for the out.
44:35Then there's two away.
44:37Up next.
44:37Back to the top of the order.
44:39Now batting Jaron Duran.
44:41Jaron Duran.
44:43Two down.
44:44Nobody on.
44:44Here at the bottom of the seven.
44:50Nope.
44:51Well one.
45:00In the air left field.
45:03And that's a foul ball.
45:04Foul ball.
45:05Got two outs and a chance to put up a zero on the scoreboard here.
45:08And that's not something that's come easy for this staff in this one.
45:13Slice the other way.
45:14That's a base hit.
45:16So a two out.
45:17Now keeps the inning alive.
45:19Clearly seeing the ball very well in this one.
45:22Anytime you rip a line drive the other way, you feel really good about what you did at the plate.
45:27You trusted your hands, you let the ball travel, and you took the barrel straight to it.
45:31That's great work right there.
45:33That is the inning.
45:40We go to the eighth.
45:42Here's the raised leadoff hitter, Yandy Diaz.
46:03Drilled out towards left center field.
46:05That's well struck.
46:06And it bangs off the monster.
46:08The throw into second.
46:11And he's got no chance.
46:13He's out.
46:33High fly ball pretty well struck out towards right center.
46:37That ball's carrying.
46:38And it's into the bullpen for a homer.
46:41And they cut into the deficit.
46:43His confidence is through the roof with the way he's been swinging it lately.
46:48He's on a really good run.
46:52Caminero.
46:53The next to hit.
46:54Takes ball one.
46:55Catch your challenge.
46:56We'll take another look.
46:59And that just scraped the zone.
47:02The ball is overturned.
47:03They'll keep both their challenges.
47:08Here comes the 0-1.
47:11Fastball for a strike.
47:21Breaking ball.
47:22In there.
47:23Got him looking.
47:24Now 2-0.
47:25Up next to Tampa Bay.
47:27Downs over.
47:28Cedric Mullen.
47:43That one close.
47:44Rule the ball.
47:45And the count is 2-0.
47:50Next one misses.
47:51And it's 3-0.
47:57Foul ball.
48:02Chew down.
48:03Nobody on.
48:04Right through there for a strike.
48:15Stripped him out low kick.
48:18And he's registered 3-Ks in this one.
48:22On to the bottom of the 8.
48:28Now a new pitcher for the Rays.
48:30Ryan Baker.
48:31Well, they need someone to stop the bleed and keep the score right where it is.
48:35It seems like a tough task today with the way this lineup is swinging it.
48:49Drilled out towards left center field.
48:51That's back.
48:53And it's off the green monster.
48:56In safely with a double.
48:58His second of the day.
49:02Up next to the Red Sox.
49:04The shortstop, Trevor Dorn.
49:16Runner in scoring position.
49:18Nobody out.
49:19You're the bottom half of the 8th inning.
49:20Well, you've got the hitter already chasing that nasty slider.
49:24If you're on the mound, you just want to expand the zone right now.
49:26Get a swing and miss.
49:27And get through this at bat.
49:29That one is absolutely belted.
49:31And it's a one-hopper off the wall.
49:33Should score the run.
49:36Contreras headed home.
49:38He will score.
49:39And they're pulling away up by 7 now.
49:42Seeing some good swings from them right now with consecutive extra base hits.
49:46Off the bat, it was headed for the gap all the way.
49:48And as a hitter, you love seeing those as you take your first couple of steps out of the box.
49:53You know you've got some real estate to run on.
49:55It's such a good feeling.
49:56Nice liner into the gap right there.
49:58On the ground, out to short.
50:01Handles, throws the first.
50:03One gone at the bottom of the 8th.
50:05Here is Isaiah Kiner-Falefa.
50:07He's already homered here in this one.
50:11And that's downstairs and outside.
50:15Runner at second here.
50:17One gone.
50:22Line to right, base hit.
50:25Story on his way home.
50:28Safe.
50:29And it's an 8-run lead.
50:45Narvaez wants to challenge this.
50:47Thought it was a ball.
50:49And they don't come much closer, but it was a ball.
50:53So they've still got both their challenges.
51:19Cold night like tonight.
51:22Last thing you want to do as a hitter is get jammed or even off the end trying to find
51:27that sweet spot on the bat
51:28Tell you what you're gonna try to catch things out front
51:31So off-speed pitches may be a good complement to that fastball on the ground a third off balance beat
51:37There's one what a double play that was hitting over
51:47We're back it's the top of the night and there's a new pitcher on the mound Patrick Sandoval
51:52He has a great slider with tons of movement
51:56Richie Palacios now at the plate
52:02Plenty of offense in this one singy I guess you'd say kind of what we expected though
52:07Well this was a game looking at the pitching matchup where you expected offense to score and not as lopsided
52:16as this
52:17But yeah you definitely expected to see some offense coming up
52:26That one's in there two balls two strikes
52:38Swings and misses it's a strikeout and a strikeout for the first out here in the night
53:05This to center field Anthony makes his way towards it pulls it down and he makes the catch
53:14So they're down to their final out number 48 getting ready to hit one for three
53:25Got it started a little too early strike one
53:29Man he really sells the changeup with that arm action
53:34That one almost got him
53:43Well he had a pretty good look at that pitch and not sure exactly what tied him up there
53:48Couldn't pull the trigger and perhaps the best pitch you'll see in this at bat to hit
53:58This was pretty much decided in the third inning from that point on all they have to do is play
54:02fundamentally sound baseball to secure the win and they did just that
54:05And your final 11 to 3 for Chris Singleton and our entire crew I'm John Sharpie saying so long
54:42Fall incest call me capable at last I'm awake an animal at the long end of your past
54:57Call the car and call the shot Call me everything you're not Time to see it say
55:09All night baby
