00:00in play because of the ground ball rate important that the defense stays engaged
00:04in the game I think it's critical tempo is there if you work quickly it helps
00:08the fielders behind you to stay engaged to make those plays and help you get
00:12through the innings we go to the bottom of the first there's Byron Buxton the
00:17wind in the pitch there's a strike
00:29and he'll one that one fouled off
00:37the pitch all one there really good take especially with two strikes kicks and
00:46deals the punch out there and one gone
00:54and here comes Carlos Correa a guy who makes an impact not just at the plate but
00:59also in the field oh yeah that first offering is fouled off
01:16here comes a pitch ground ball up the middle Seeger handles the chance and here
01:23this afternoon too quickly away in the bottom of first
01:26that is the designated hitter here's Miguel Sano
01:44and that's in there for strike one
01:55and he deals and that one is in for a strike this guy's pounding the zone hitters
02:02don't have time to think in between pitches and that one is lifted in the
02:08air Garcia sizes this one up makes the catch in and gold twins retired in short
02:17order we played an inning no score
02:28second inning set to go and now the catcher comes up to him Jonah Hine this guy one of the
02:35best defensive catchers going you talk about framing the ability to block catch and throw he is at the top
02:42of the game
02:43and the pitch and ball one really good athlete and many times we talk about you
02:52know the feet of infielders this catcher as well really quick feet he's able to
02:57recognize the pitch see the trajectory and get into a spot where he can block
03:01those balls and keep them from going to the backstop
03:04Boog our man Darryl Parker DP at home plate for this one pretty average size
03:09strike zone put the book on him is that it sort of moves around you can't always
03:13count on how he's gonna call it from game to game next pitch is outside and it's
03:19three at all really impressive with the way frames the way that he sets it up
03:23because sometimes those pitches are off the plate but because he sets up and
03:27presents it so well he still strikes for his pitcher there's a strike three and one
03:41it pretty well in the air out to center makes the grab one away
03:53that exists the third baseman Andy Ibanez so up next Andy Ibanez
04:14and the first offering is not close
04:23next pitch is popped up Polanco under it and he makes the catch two up two down that was a
04:30good pitch to hit right at the bottom line
04:31down the heart of the plate had pretty good timing on it just got underneath it a little bit and
04:35popped it up brad miller now kind of a throwback no batting gloves first pitch just misses
05:01two outs and there's a ball
05:102-0
05:14good eye right there well i would expect in this 3-0 count
05:18you're taking all the way see if they'll walk you
05:25here's a 3-0
05:29smash to the left side and foul ball
05:39and there's ball four
05:42pretty easy walk right there last pitch wasn't even much to think about
05:47runner at first with two away leoti taveras stepping in for the rangers
05:52tavera in there and it's all in one
06:10kicks and fires swing and a miss and he got him to chase real ugly oh one swing right there's
06:18a pitcher
06:18got to be hunting for that strikeout keep him off balance send him back to the dugout the 0-2
06:24one ball two straight
06:35stays alive miller leads off first with two down to the inning
06:45next offering is fouled back see how the catcher wanted that pitch up and in one to try to tie
06:50him up
06:51that's the one thing we're seeing that high fastball you have to get it up there because of how hitters
06:55have
06:55changed their swings ripped on a line makes a nice running catch and that is the third out of the
07:02inning rangers leave one we'll go to the bottom of the second no score
07:12back here at the ballpark the batter now jorge polanco leading up for the twins the second baseman
07:28and the pitch now a drag bunt third base side
07:35over to low and polanco is out
07:38well i think the defense was anticipating something here because they were really ready to defend as
07:44that ball was put down nice little drag bunt but they get the out way to go
07:53luis arise stands in
08:05pitch misses inside and it's 1-0
08:13that one missed
08:19the wind to kick the 2-0 late swing foul to the left
08:29the pitch
08:33this one popped up right side low under it
08:38calls it in and there's two away this lineup is going to have to find a way to make him
08:42work
08:42a little harder out there on the mound i mean he is just mowing them down he's settling in you
08:47got to make him uncomfortable maybe step out of the box call timeout do whatever it takes
08:52here's geo urshela fell off to a great start he's really cruising out there on the mound he's got a
08:58chance to get through these first two innings with under 20 pitches that can set him up to go deep
09:03into this game
09:10next offering is in for a strike
09:16the wind of the pitch
09:28liner picked on the hop at first it's there and that's a great play
09:34first it looks like making the stop is the hardest part but feeding to the pitcher on the move
09:39i think even tough does a great job of hitting that moving target they're gonna be fired up in the
09:44dugout
09:47and welcome back well here we go top of the third scoreless game here's bubba thompson
09:58gray back to work
10:02bounce to the left side and it goes just foul
10:08and the old one
10:13and that one sliced foul
10:24in the air to left center kirilov sizing this one up he's got it and there's one away
10:32now that second baseman marcus here's the second baseman marcus simian goal for one popped out foul to
10:40the catcher his first time off
10:51hammer down the right side but foul well he missed a hitable off speed pitch right there not sure exactly
10:59with the timing with the time and sometimes you get a backup breaking ball you're expecting it to make
11:03its move at the end it never does and you're tied up
11:08one down base is empty
11:12and a foul ball and a foul ball he stays alive
11:22deal two
11:27swing and a miss struck him out and there's two down
11:33two out space is empty now batting now it's cory seager doubled his first time off
11:46fouled off he was late
11:51one down
11:55at the ball
12:05swings through that one for strike two good late sink on that fastball out of the hand looks so good
12:12and
12:12then by the time he gets in the hitting zone hard to get the barrel to it
12:17way inside and that hit him he had two strikes on him and he hit him that pitch right there
12:22didn't
12:23even snip the zone he was all out of whack on that delivery
12:32no
12:33low batting for the second time and that strike one
12:41uh-oh back-to-back batters hit by a pitch now wow back-to-back hit batters it's certainly concerning
12:48and it kind of makes you wonder where his head's at right now adolis
12:51so first and second with two hours adolis garcia digs in down
13:01next pitch downstairs and that's ball one
13:14and the right hater deals
13:17good spot for the hitter definitely has the advantage in this count with runners on look for
13:22him to be aggressive on this next pitch
13:34seeker over at second low on at first with two down
13:41next pitch is outside get ready for some action here good rbi guy at the plate runners in scoring
13:47position and hitters count and he walked him
13:54well interesting he went with the off speed and walked the hitter man you've got to challenge the
13:59guy with the basketball now the catcher for the rangers jonah heim he is at the top of the game
14:06in terms
14:07of defense at the catching spot
14:12out to short correa picks it up whips it across and that
14:17this could be the fastest trip to stretch right now
14:17if you think that video
