00:00:03coming to you live from southern california interleague baseball on mlb the show it's
00:00:10the washington nationals and the los angeles angels first pitch coming at you right after the
00:00:17break just a little bit away from first pitch and towing the slab in this one shohei otani
00:00:30it's always interesting to see how he utilizes all of his pitches and how many of those he has a
00:00:34good
00:00:34feel for on that given day when he's right he's really able to keep hitters guessing and all of
00:00:39his stuff seems to be coming out of the same arm slot the same tunnel and that can make life
00:00:43very
00:00:44difficult on his opponents okay all set to go to the batter now lane thomas lane
00:00:54the pitch in for a strike and away we go this afternoon
00:01:03first pitch one o'clock
00:01:09the wind of the pitch now wanted one
00:01:21the wind of the pitch
00:01:34and that's outside that's where you want it's a good miss
00:01:44swing and a miss and it's a full countdown that's a really big swing right there he's got to remember
00:01:50with this speed a walker a single can turn into extra bases by stealing a base or two
00:01:54three two down
00:01:57and a foul ball he stays alive
00:02:08the pitch
00:02:10got him one out
00:02:14well he should get some fist bumps when he gets back into the dugout because even though he strikes out
00:02:19he saw a lot of pitches and he battled and this is a long haul where you're trying to get
00:02:24that pitch
00:02:25count up as early as possible so gave the guys behind him an opportunity to see what's working for this
00:02:31pitcher or not but i tell you what it's a nice job right there luis garcia stands in now and
00:02:36lets that
00:02:37one go for a strike
00:02:51next offering misses and the county even wanted one nice warm day here good baseball weather
00:02:57does that change anything chris especially for the hitters absolutely you feel so much more
00:03:02comfortable at the plate you're not worried about you know getting jammed on fastballs inside part of
00:03:08the plate uh you can kind of be more selective instead of just looking out away so that you can
00:03:14get the barrel to it and that part and get on the inside part of the plate as well
00:03:19get a foul ball
00:03:28here's a one two
00:03:31swing and a line drive and a base hit up the middle
00:03:40batting third number 45 digging in for the nationals
00:03:49and that's in there for strike one
00:04:07next offering is in for a strike that's a great take right there even though it's a strike with the
00:04:12situation runner on first base you want to keep the ball off the ground and you swing at that pitch
00:04:17most likely you roll into a double play
00:04:25the one two and a swing and a miss down on strikes and there's two down well that's always the
00:04:32key to
00:04:32effective pitching is getting ahead in the count and as a pitcher it really allows you to start expanding
00:04:38the zone guys become defensive and all of a sudden for the hitter that plate starts to get really wide
00:04:43and what happens is because of the pressure you end up committing to a pitch as a batter before you
00:04:49recognize what it is and that's what leads to the strikeout luke voigt will step to the plate
00:04:54right in there for strike one
00:05:09and the pitch that misses the zone and that's ball one
00:05:20the pitch that's in there and it's one and two
00:05:34next offering is fouled back
00:05:43yeah the right-hander deals and a swing and a miss and that's that
00:05:51so one left for washington and now the angels will get their first opportunity in this one
00:05:57no score you're dialed into the show
00:06:05bottom of the first and today on the hill it'll be steven strassburg well this guy has a ton of
00:06:12respect from his own teammates and guys that are playing behind him just seem to take it to another
00:06:17level you know he's the type of guy who's not having a good day to try to save that bullpen
00:06:22for the game
00:06:23and the next game he'll go out there and wear it so in this one if he can keep his
00:06:27pitch count down
00:06:27early and he has the ability to work deep into this ball game we go to the bottom of the
00:06:31first
00:06:32luis renjifo gets a chance to hit here people
00:06:37and here it comes just missed
00:06:57good eye right there
00:07:09good eye right there
00:07:10gets under and pops it up
00:07:14void makes the grab
00:07:19batting second the center fielder
00:07:22mine
00:07:24here's trout and chris one of the trends that we've seen over the course of the last five or six
00:07:29years
00:07:30teams are trying to build their lineup more efficiently and usually putting their best hitter
00:07:34number two like mike trout
00:07:38the days of hitting that hitter in the third spot or the fourth spot are pretty much over because
00:07:42you're wasting your best talent and the fans if they come to the game and they want to see that
00:07:47guy hit as much as possible as well first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:07:58one down base is empty that misses the zone and now it's even one and one people may ask why
00:08:06no spot in the order comes up with nobody on and two outs more frequently
00:08:11than the number three hitter the next offering misses and account two and one
00:08:21righty to the plate and now it's even up
00:08:33next pitch misses and now it's three and two you see how the catcher wanted that pitch
00:08:38up and in want to try to tie him up that's the one thing we're seeing that high fastball
00:08:42you have to get it up there because of how hitters have changed their swings and there's ball four
00:08:47looking for a swing and miss right there or for the um to help him out and make a call
00:08:51with that
00:08:52last pitch but neither happened right close pitch but a good take to earn that wall
00:08:57taylor war the next to hit for the angels
00:09:01first offering misses the mark good speed on the base pass he handles the bat
00:09:06very well i wouldn't be surprised if the skipper puts on some type of hit and run or run and
00:09:12hit
00:09:19next offering is in for a strike trap leads off first with one away
00:09:29there's a one-two
00:09:46there's a one-two
00:09:51there's a one-two
00:09:52there's a one-two
00:10:03stays the line
00:10:09strassburg to first and diving back is trout
00:10:23at the belt and fires and downstairs recognize that change up right out of the hand just spit on it
00:10:33three balls two strikes the count and that's ball four
00:10:39so here we go again with the rocks it's been a real struggle finding the zone for him
00:10:43the bats now even if they get out of this gym these blocks have pressure and stress to the entire
00:10:48team
00:10:49and next for la jared walsh
00:10:54and he swings and misses and it's nothing at all
00:11:11left hand hitter waits
00:11:14left hand hitter waits
00:11:14that one ripped
00:11:16can't get there base hit and that's gonna roll to the wall
00:11:20and they strike first as they take a one-nothing lead
00:11:25well done drives in the run nice line drive to full side headed out front but just stayed through it
00:11:32nice enough and ripped it into the outfield
00:11:37Anthony Rendon making his way to the plate
00:11:41batting fifth the third baseman Anthony
00:11:47first pitch doesn't find the zone it's great to get on the board in the first frame of the ball
00:11:51game
00:11:51but here's an opportunity for them to really open things up with a couple of runners on
00:11:56let's see if they can cash in
00:12:14and that one hammered
00:12:16that's back there
00:12:18and out of here
00:12:22that one felt good and they add on it's four nothing
00:12:44for a pitcher the odds are in your favor if you keep that breaking ball down
00:12:48that time he got punished for it hitter just did a really good job of staying within himself
00:12:53and getting the barrel to the baseball
00:12:55here's jill adele
00:13:02in there and it's on one
00:13:04well lots of pitches thrown in this first inning it's kind of that nightmare scenario for starting pitching but you
00:13:10know what
00:13:10it's still early enough he can settle in he can get some length if he just cleans up his mechanics
00:13:16a little bit
00:13:19and he's down oh two as he swings through it oh that's that slur right there he threw it extremely
00:13:24well
00:13:25like talk about just a ton of breaks so tough to get that barrel to
00:13:29swing and a miss struck him out now two away
00:13:36matt theis comes up to him here
00:13:38the desiccated hitter
00:13:46and that's in there for strike one well with this many pitches thrown here in this first inning i mean
00:13:50you're giving the other team a really good look he's gonna have to find a way to get some weak
00:13:55contact
00:13:55maybe a swing and miss get into that dugout and hit the reset button
00:14:02and now the 0-1
00:14:05that one pushed foul
00:14:15the 0-2
00:14:17and a foul baldy stays alive
00:14:25the 0-2
00:14:28stays alive
00:14:38and wanted to
00:14:40two straight
00:14:47chewed down nobody on
00:14:49next offering misses down and away
00:15:01well outside
00:15:03and that's ball three
00:15:04wow this guy's really battling up there as if
00:15:07his run is the game-winning run i love
00:15:10his tenacity
00:15:15so now three and two
00:15:17good plate appearance there
00:15:18able to take the walk
00:15:20that's a tough one to swallow right there
00:15:22if you're on the mound you're ahead in the count
00:15:240-2
00:15:25and you just couldn't find a way to put him away
00:15:27it's gonna be frustrating if that one comes back to biden
00:15:31Max Stassi comes up to him
00:15:33swings through that one
00:15:340-1
00:16:03swing and a miss
00:16:15now one missed
00:16:19thanks the runner at first with two gone
00:16:27next one just misses and accounts full
00:16:35righty delivers
00:16:37on the ground right side
00:16:40fires over to void
00:16:41that ends the frame
00:16:42but four run score in the inning
00:16:44three coming right here on the three-run homer
00:16:47it's now a four nothing ball game
00:16:56welcome back and now
00:16:58nelson cruz
00:17:00he has consistently been one of the best in the sport against lefties and yet
00:17:05the righties give him trouble you know you don't want to be labeled as that guy but
00:17:10the numbers say what they say
00:17:17and the pitch
00:17:27well he's a good player but
00:17:29But if he wants to be great, he's going to have to figure it out against right-handed pitchers.
00:17:33There's so many right-handers in the game that you're going to see them one after another.
00:17:38So you would imagine with that many looks, Boog, that the adjustment's got to be coming soon.
00:17:43Patrick Johnson calling the balls and strikes.
00:17:46Pretty standard zone for Johnson.
00:17:48Sometimes he might get a little jumpy, a little excited and expand the zone.
00:17:52But usually you at least feel like the guy on the mound is earning it.
00:17:55And that's important because you've got to make guys earn it.
00:18:05And the pitch.
00:18:07Tapped in front of the plate.
00:18:09Sends it to Walsh.
00:18:11And quickly won away in the second.
00:18:14Batting six.
00:18:15The catcher, Keebert Ruiz.
00:18:20And now it's Keebert Ruiz.
00:18:36And first offering is fouled off.
00:18:39This is a very important inning here.
00:18:41After scoring all those runs, you want your pitcher to come out and just mow them down.
00:18:46The offense has worked hard.
00:18:47It's shut down inning time.
00:18:55Next one misses.
00:18:57One ball, one strike.
00:19:03The pitch.
00:19:06Ground ball, right side.
00:19:08Ringifo picks it up.
00:19:10Two up, two down at the top of the second.
00:19:15Batting seven.
00:19:17The third baseman, number one.
00:19:19Cesar Hernandez.
00:19:21Two outs, bases empty.
00:19:23Cesar Hernandez digging in for the Nationals.
00:19:27He's someone that you might not describe as having elite level speed.
00:19:31But he can absolutely move.
00:19:33And it is a factor in his game.
00:19:37In there for strike one.
00:19:48Oh, and two as he waves at that one.
00:19:56Here comes the pitch.
00:19:58And ball one.
00:20:00One, two, two.
00:20:09And now the count is even.
00:20:17One, two, three.
00:20:21Base knock right field.
00:20:29Solid swing from start to end.
00:20:31On time with everything.
00:20:32Really good balance.
00:20:34Nice extension.
00:20:35And he met it out front for the line drive knock.
00:20:38So a man aboard.
00:20:40Here's C.J. Abrams to him.
00:20:45Otani throws over.
00:20:47And he's back in on a dive.
00:20:57First pitch.
00:20:58And that's in for a strike.
00:21:14And the righty deals.
00:21:16Now a pop up on the infield.
00:21:18And the inning is over.
00:21:21Nationals leave one.
00:21:22They trail it here for nothing.
00:21:31And welcome back.
00:21:33Bottom half of inning number two.
00:21:34Here's David Fletcher.
00:21:36Here for the Angels.
00:21:37The shortstop.
00:21:39David Fletcher.
00:21:46Strasburg.
00:21:47Back to work.
00:21:48There's the strike.
00:21:49He needs a quick one, two, three.
00:21:51This time around.
00:21:52Last inning.
00:21:53Threw a lot of pitches.
00:22:05In the air left field.
00:22:09Makes the grab.
00:22:10One down.
00:22:20Now it's the second baseman.
00:22:22Luis Rengifo.
00:22:240 for 1 so far.
00:22:37First offering.
00:22:38And it just misses.
00:22:39Singe, he wasn't real sharp in the first.
00:22:42Got hit around.
00:22:43But really more so.
00:22:44Didn't throw a ton of strikes.
00:22:46Well, he's just got to find a way to settle down.
00:22:48He was clearly fighting himself out there.
00:22:50Not really finding the strike zone.
00:22:51Walking batters.
00:22:52So, we'll see if he can get back on track and fill up the zone a little bit more.
00:22:56Right-hander kicks deals.
00:22:58Got it started a little too early.
00:23:01Strike one.
00:23:08And a pitch.
00:23:11And that's a strike.
00:23:12Hell, he left that changeup up.
00:23:14Got away with one there.
00:23:15And he'll take it.
00:23:17But doesn't want to make that mistake again.
00:23:20And down on strikes.
00:23:21Two down.
00:23:23Thought it was a pretty good pitch.
00:23:25Top of the strike zone.
00:23:26We're seeing more fastballs in that location.
00:23:29Hitters, especially with two strikes, have to be ready to pull the trigger.
00:23:37And now batting, Mike Trout.
00:23:47First pitch, and he just misses.
00:23:50Mike Trout, just a special player, a special human.
00:23:53Does everything well on the baseball field and seems to do it as well off the field.
00:24:04The pitch.
00:24:07Swing and a miss as he was late that time.
00:24:10I think with Mike Trout, when you consider all the awards, the wins above replacement,
00:24:15he's on a trajectory if he stays healthy.
00:24:17But he'll end up as one of the greatest position players of all time.
00:24:20He takes it on his own.
00:24:22Third out.
00:24:22And that ends the frame.
00:24:24Angels go quietly there.
00:24:26They lead 4-0.
00:24:37Back in Anaheim.
00:24:39On to the third inning.
00:24:40Up now for Washington.
00:24:41Victor Robles.
00:24:43The Nationals in striking distance, but have some work to do.
00:24:47Boog, it starts with a laid off, man.
00:24:49Need a good at bat out of him right here.
00:24:51A wind and a kick, the pitch.
00:25:02A wind and a pitch.
00:25:05I mean, that's perfect location right on the black.
00:25:09I mean, over and over again.
00:25:10This guy demonstrates the ability to hit those spots.
00:25:13They're so tough to do anything with as a hitter.
00:25:15And that's a base hit.
00:25:18And the leadoff man aboard.
00:25:24And now up for Washington, Lane Thomas.
00:25:27He's 0 for 1.
00:25:29Check on the runner.
00:25:30Robles dives back in.
00:25:40In the first pitch, misses for ball one.
00:25:50Robles aboard here at first with nobody out.
00:25:59Next offering misses.
00:26:00Now 2-0.
00:26:01Oh, he looks more focused at the plate and working the count after that first at bat strikeout.
00:26:11Pitch.
00:26:12Robles rungs.
00:26:14Pitch in for a strike.
00:26:16Throw to second.
00:26:17And great jump.
00:26:18You don't usually see teams try to claw back into games by being aggressive on the base pass like this.
00:26:23But it's still early in this one.
00:26:24This kind of tells me they're going to try to tackle this one one run at a time.
00:26:28Instead of waiting back for a big three-run homer.
00:26:35Kicks and deals.
00:26:37And that one fouled off.
00:26:46Two-two down.
00:26:49And a foul ball.
00:26:59Cut on and miss.
00:27:01Struck him out.
00:27:02And he's down on strikes for the second time today.
00:27:05Yeah, that's pretty sick.
00:27:07Late cutting action to get the swing and miss right there.
00:27:10I mean, that's just really hard to account for as a hitter when you're seeing the fastball all the way.
00:27:15And then just at the last moment, it darts away from you and you can't reach it.
00:27:20Luis Garcia digging in for the Nationals.
00:27:23Picked up a base hit to center his first time off.
00:27:29And that one is lifted in the air.
00:27:31Adele gliding to his left.
00:27:33No trouble here.
00:27:34Puts it away for the out.
00:27:36And there's two away.
00:27:40Now batting.
00:27:41Right fielder.
00:27:42Joey.
00:27:43Next to hit for the Nats.
00:27:45Number 45.
00:27:47If you're trying to keep the line moving, this is the guy you want at the plate.
00:27:51Such a good hitter.
00:27:52Can also flash some power.
00:27:56In there and it's 0-1.
00:27:58And it's 0-1.
00:28:08Just off the inside edge.
00:28:20Swing and a miss.
00:28:21From a pitcher's perspective, that's a beautiful splitter right there.
00:28:25As a hitter, you don't like it.
00:28:26But he's commanded his fastball and out of that same tunnel, that splitter comes and the bottom just falls out
00:28:32of it.
00:28:36And a ball and two strikes.
00:28:38Two, two.
00:28:47They tried to get him to chase on a slider down and away.
00:28:53Two outs and one in scoring position.
00:29:01And a down on strikes he goes.
00:29:03And that will end the inning.
00:29:19Back here at the ballpark.
00:29:21Bottom of the inning.
00:29:22So in now for the Angels.
00:29:23Taylor Ward.
00:29:24Leading up for the Angels.
00:29:26The right fielder.
00:29:28Taylor.
00:29:31And a pitch.
00:29:33So he's back out here for the third.
00:29:34And after the first couple of innings, pretty rough.
00:29:37I think the skipper's looking for him to give him a little bit of length.
00:29:40See if he can save the bullpen some.
00:29:42The 1-0.
00:29:44Foul off down the right side.
00:29:47Oh!
00:29:53And here it comes.
00:29:55That misses the zone.
00:29:57And it's 2-1.
00:29:59And it's 2-1.
00:30:04Kicks and fires.
00:30:07On the ground to the left.
00:30:10Whips it across.
00:30:12Lead off man retired here in the third.
00:30:16Now battle.
00:30:18First baseman.
00:30:19Jared.
00:30:21Walsh.
00:30:22Next to hit.
00:30:23Jared Walsh.
00:30:39He swings and drives one out to deep left field.
00:30:42That's back there.
00:30:45And it's gone!
00:30:50Jared Walsh.
00:30:51Last one out.
00:30:53And they add a run.
00:30:54It's 5-0.
00:30:55Singy the ball is jumping off his back.
00:30:58Yes, it is.
00:31:00Tons of loud contact.
00:31:02Man, it's been impressive.
00:31:06That one was a hanger.
00:31:07And pitchers typically don't get away with making a mistake like that.
00:31:11And right there, he made him pay.
00:31:15So one out, nobody on.
00:31:17Now it's Anthony Rendon.
00:31:19The third baseman.
00:31:20Really good piece of hitting last time.
00:31:22Going to the opposite field.
00:31:23And the first offering is not close.
00:31:38Let's go, Tony.
00:31:43And there's the ball.
00:31:45Clearly, he hasn't had it in this game.
00:31:47And looks like sooner than later, they're going to have to go to the bullpen.
00:31:59The pitch.
00:32:01And that's downstairs and outside.
00:32:17And he walked him.
00:32:20Boog, do you think you could draw a walk in the bigs if we gave you enough at-bats?
00:32:24Oh, that's a good question.
00:32:25Um, I think that if they gave the pitcher a false scouting report on me, yes, I think I could
00:32:32draw a walk.
00:32:39Adele stands in now, looks at that one inside.
00:32:42Now it's 1-0.
00:32:49And the 1-0.
00:32:52And he gets that fastball by him upstairs.
00:32:55Well, he just threw that fastball by him, elevated.
00:32:57And if you're not looking up at that location, very difficult to catch up to, especially with that velocity.
00:33:03The next pitch misses.
00:33:04And that's ball two.
00:33:06Two, one.
00:33:07Two, one.
00:33:07Two, one.
00:33:08Two, one.
00:33:09Two, one.
00:33:10Two, one.
00:33:13And the right-hander deals.
00:33:19Red Dome.
00:33:20At first, one gone.
00:33:39Righty to the plate.
00:33:41Swing and a miss.
00:33:43Struck him out.
00:33:44Two-way down.
00:33:45He came out of his mechanics there.
00:33:46Typically, he likes to shoot the ball the other way.
00:33:49But that time, a little anxious.
00:34:00And at first, now it's the D.H. for the Angels.
00:34:04Matt Theis.
00:34:10And he swings and misses at the initial offering.
00:34:29In the air, out towards right center.
00:34:32Robles going back on this one.
00:34:35And that is that.
00:34:37But the Angels add to the lead on this solo blast.
00:34:41And the lead is now 5-0.
00:34:52Welcome back.
00:34:53Out of the fourth.
00:34:54Luke Voigt at the plate.
00:34:55Leading off for Washington, the first baseman, number 34, Luke Voigt.
00:35:11The wind to the pitch.
00:35:14Swing and a pop-up in foul ground.
00:35:18Snags it on the run.
00:35:20And there's one down.
00:35:26Up next for the Nationals, the designated hitter, Nelson.
00:35:30Next for the Nationals is the D.H.
00:35:33Nelson Cruz.
00:35:34Grounded out back to the pitcher his first time.
00:35:44And he swings and misses.
00:35:45And it's nothing you want.
00:35:47Boog, over 80% of his first pitches are strikes.
00:35:50If you're doing that, you could have a really good day out there on the mound.
00:35:54Comes up empty on the swing.
00:35:560-2 now.
00:36:04Out to short.
00:36:06Fletcher picks it up.
00:36:08The throw to first.
00:36:09Two up, two down.
00:36:10Well, he's doing a nice job of keeping the ball out of the air.
00:36:13Let's the defense work behind him with another ground ball.
00:36:16Good execution.
00:36:17Fish, Hebert Ruiz.
00:36:20Two outs.
00:36:21Base is empty.
00:36:22Here's the catcher.
00:36:23Hebert Ruiz.
00:36:24Grounded out his first time.
00:36:33Line drive.
00:36:36Adele makes the catch.
00:36:38And that'll do it.
00:36:39And the Nationals gone in order.
00:36:41Still looking at that 5-0 deficit.
00:36:50And welcome back.
00:36:52Bottom four.
00:36:52Here's the Angels catcher.
00:36:53Max Stassi.
00:36:55And Chris, his big strength is defense.
00:36:58But it is interesting.
00:36:59In today's world of baseball, compared to when you played, a good defensive catcher is considered
00:37:06differently.
00:37:06Whatever you get offensively is a bonus.
00:37:09But he's got to put the fingers down.
00:37:11He's got to present pitches to the umpire.
00:37:13They're going to help his pitcher get more strikes.
00:37:19At the belt and fires.
00:37:22Swing and a miss.
00:37:23And a count one and one.
00:37:25I think the other component is putting down the finger that the pitcher wants to throw
00:37:30and being on the same page.
00:37:31And that's something that this guy does really well.
00:37:34Gets in sync with his pitchers.
00:37:36Swing and a miss.
00:37:37And a count one and two.
00:37:46Swings through that one.
00:37:47It's a strikeout.
00:37:48One gone here.
00:37:53Here's the shortstop at the flip.
00:37:55David Fletcher.
00:37:560 for 1 with a fly.
00:37:58Fletcher.
00:38:16Turned on, but that's foul down the third baseline.
00:38:25Ball to strike.
00:38:28And there's a foul ball.
00:38:38And it's even up.
00:38:48And another ball.
00:38:56The pitch.
00:38:59And a swing and a miss.
00:39:01Back-to-back strikeouts.
00:39:06Back to the top of the lineup.
00:39:08Luis Rejifo getting ready to hit.
00:39:11Rejifo.
00:39:18First pitch doesn't find the zone.
00:39:21Action in the pen down there.
00:39:22Number 27, preparing to come on if needed.
00:39:25Number 32, warming up as well.
00:39:37And he dodges that fastball.
00:39:482-0.
00:39:51Misses with the 2-0.
00:39:53And he's fired three straight outside the strike zone.
00:40:07That one finds the zone.
00:40:09And now 3-1.
00:40:17Two down, nobody on.
00:40:19That one is absolutely belted.
00:40:22That's back.
00:40:24Pulls it in on the warning track.
00:40:27Angels held in check.
00:40:28But they hold a 5-0 lead.
00:40:39Back here at Angels Stadium.
00:40:40We go to the top of the fifth.
00:40:42Here's the third baseman.
00:40:43Cesar Hernandez.
00:40:45Number one.
00:40:47Cesar Hernandez.
00:40:51And a pitch.
00:40:53And first off ring is fouled off.
00:41:03And a pitch.
00:41:06And that one wrapped foul.
00:41:15The wind of the pitch.
00:41:18Going to count one and two.
00:41:19Pretty standard high 0-2 fastball right there.
00:41:23If you're smart, look for something down in the zone.
00:41:26But not too far.
00:41:27Don't want to chase that breaking ball in the dirt.
00:41:29Next pitch inside.
00:41:30And the count's even at two.
00:41:32Boog, he never moved.
00:41:33Because he never had time to.
00:41:35But that kind of velocity, you'd prefer that pitcher work away.
00:41:392-2 down.
00:41:42And a foul ball.
00:41:43He stays alive.
00:41:502-2 now.
00:41:52And now it's filled up.
00:42:01Righty delivers.
00:42:03And a foul ball.
00:42:05Well, he's having a tough time getting a pitch by him.
00:42:08As a hitter, you feel pretty confident that you're seeing different pitches still able to make some type of contact.
00:42:15Next pitch has popped up.
00:42:18And there's one away.
00:42:20That was a good pitch to hit right down the heart of the plate.
00:42:22Had pretty good timing on it.
00:42:24Just got underneath it a little bit and popped it up.
00:42:26C.J. Abrams.
00:42:31C.J. Abrams.
00:42:33Digging in for the Nationals.
00:42:35First time up was a pop-out.
00:42:48And swings and fouls one off.
00:43:02Next offering is fouled back.
00:43:11And the 0-2.
00:43:15I thought he'd bite right there.
00:43:20And now it's 1-2.
00:43:23Now that's smack to right center.
00:43:26He dives but can't hang on.
00:43:28That's a base hit.
00:43:30Ward throws to second.
00:43:32Not going to get him.
00:43:33He's in there.
00:43:33Well, that certainly feels good when you can win the at-bat after being down in the count.
00:43:38Up against it with two strikes right there.
00:43:40Everything was mechanically sound with that swing right there.
00:43:43I mean, that's pretty much what you're wanting to replicate with every rep you take.
00:43:47You want good balance.
00:43:48Barrel directly to the baseball.
00:43:50And good long extension after contact out in front of home plate.
00:43:54Man, there are a lot of doubles in a swing like that.
00:43:56Could be a chance here for them to start clawing back into this ballgame.
00:43:59Robles.
00:44:00In the box for the second time.
00:44:02One ball, no strikes.
00:44:08Abrams, the runner at second with one away.
00:44:14Next offering is downstairs.
00:44:22And he deals.
00:44:24And downstairs.
00:44:39There's a strike.
00:44:483-1 now.
00:44:50And there's a strike.
00:45:00Runner leads away at second.
00:45:02And there's ball four.
00:45:05He's making things difficult for himself right now out there on the mound.
00:45:08But, you know, his confidence should still be high enough to get out of this.
00:45:12But he's going to have to buckle down right here.
00:45:24Thomas.
00:45:25Thomas up for the third time here.
00:45:27Watches that one miss.
00:45:30Runners at first and second with one gone.
00:45:39Next offering is in for a strike.
00:45:47Right-hander kicks deals.
00:45:50In the dirt.
00:45:53Well done behind the dish.
00:46:03The pitch.
00:46:06Foul ball.
00:46:13Here comes the pitch.
00:46:16Stays the line.
00:46:242-2 now.
00:46:26And that just misses.
00:46:28Really good take.
00:46:30Especially with two strikes.
00:46:333-2 on the way.
00:46:35Now a screamer into the outfield.
00:46:38And that's a base hit.
00:46:39Abrams.
00:46:40Coming home.
00:46:42One run scores.
00:46:43Here comes another.
00:46:44Ringifo.
00:46:45With a relay throw.
00:46:46The tag.
00:46:47And he's out.
00:46:48Trying for three.
00:46:49But on the play.
00:46:50Two runs across the plate.
00:46:52Well, the defense definitely on the clock with that one.
00:46:54Everything had to be perfect to get the runner at third.
00:46:56And you talk about a throw on the money.
00:46:58The relay to third.
00:47:00Just a good job all the way around.
00:47:07Two outs.
00:47:08Base is empty.
00:47:09And now it's Luis Garcia.
00:47:16Swings through that one.
00:47:170-1.
00:47:270-1.
00:47:33On the ground.
00:47:35And foul ball.
00:47:37Pretty impressive.
00:47:38We haven't seen that pitch from him much.
00:47:40But he's got a really good feel when he throws it.
00:47:43Going to now.
00:47:45Out to short.
00:47:47Fletcher.
00:47:47Gloves it.
00:47:49Slings it across.
00:47:50And that is the third out of the inning.
00:47:53Last half of the fifth.
00:47:55Coming up.
00:47:55Angels five.
00:47:56And the Nationals two.
00:48:06Back in Anaheim.
00:48:07John Chaupe with my buddy Chris Singleton.
00:48:10It's set to get us started.
00:48:11Bottom five.
00:48:12Mike Trout.
00:48:13The center fielder.
00:48:15Mike.
00:48:29The right hitter back to work.
00:48:32And that's in there at the knees.
00:48:34Well, after putting up a nice inning on offense.
00:48:36Got some runs across.
00:48:37This is where you look for the starter to go out there.
00:48:39Have a shut down inning.
00:48:41Don't give that other team any hope.
00:48:43You just hope that he can get through this inning.
00:48:45He can get the bats back up there while they're hot.
00:48:530-2 now.
00:48:56Take down.
00:48:571-2.
00:48:580-2 fastball way out of the zone.
00:49:00I think he's trying to speed him up.
00:49:02Got to stay back.
00:49:03Off speed's probably coming.
00:49:16Next pitch misses way outside.
00:49:27Kicks and deals.
00:49:45And that's outside.
00:49:47He should get a pretty good pitch to hit here with three-hole hitter coming up if he's walked.
00:50:01Swings through that and it's a strikeout.
00:50:03One away.
00:50:04No, there's a small sigh of relief right there.
00:50:07I mean, just to keep that speed off the base pass.
00:50:09It's not just the pitcher.
00:50:10It's other guys that have to think about it.
00:50:12From your infielders.
00:50:14Have to think about that runner potentially stealing.
00:50:16But also be in position to make a play.
00:50:18As an outfielder, you're thinking about a base hit to the outfield.
00:50:21I got to get to it quickly to try to keep this guy from taking an extra base.
00:50:24So, I think everyone just a little more relaxed that he didn't reach base.
00:50:40The pitch.
00:50:43All one there.
00:50:51The pitch.
00:50:53To the right side.
00:50:55Garcia handles.
00:50:57Fires over to first.
00:50:59All that for the fifth inning.
00:51:00Moving along.
00:51:01Two quick outs.
00:51:02Now battle.
00:51:03The first baseman.
00:51:05Jared.
00:51:07Whoa.
00:51:08Whoa.
00:51:11Whoa.
00:51:13Whoa.
00:51:14Whoa.
00:51:14Whoa.
00:51:14Whoa.
00:51:16Whoa.
00:51:19Whoa.
00:51:24Swing and a foul back.
00:51:25That's out of play.
00:51:26This is important.
00:51:26If he can go one, two, three here, will be a very positive sign for him and for his team.
00:51:33And a pitch.
00:51:35Right side.
00:51:36Hoyt collects it.
00:51:38He'll do it himself.
00:51:39And that is the inning.
00:51:41And the Angels are gone in order.
00:51:43They're still out in front.
00:51:448-5-2.
00:51:46Yeah.
00:51:47Who that in the web?
00:51:48Yeah.
00:51:49Yeah, you know this me.
00:51:50Yeah.
00:51:50You can't stop my shine.
00:51:52I'm just doing.
00:51:54New inning getting started.
00:51:55Now it's the right fielder.
00:51:57Number 45.
00:51:58Leading off for the Nationals.
00:51:59The right fielder.
00:52:01Joey Manese.
00:52:12The wide to kick the pitch.
00:52:15And a foul ball left side.
00:52:26And he's down 0-2 as he swings through it.
00:52:29Bullpen activity starting up now.
00:52:32Jimmy Hergen up and throwing.
00:52:34Once.
00:52:34Getting cranked up as well.
00:52:42The wide and the pitch.
00:52:45And that chance handled.
00:52:47On to first.
00:52:48One up, one down.
00:52:51The first baseman, number 34.
00:52:54Luke Voigt.
00:52:57And here's Luke Voigt.
00:53:04Let's go.
00:53:05Let's go.
00:53:10Let's go.
00:53:14Ground ball to the right side.
00:53:18Tosses to the pitcher covering the bag.
00:53:20And a couple of quick outs.
00:53:22Up next for Washington.
00:53:24The designated hitter.
00:53:25Nelson.
00:53:27Cruz.
00:53:28Nelson Cruz.
00:53:30The next to hit.
00:53:41First offering.
00:53:43Misses the mark.
00:53:50Kicks and fires.
00:53:52Off the mark there.
00:53:53And now 2-1-0.
00:54:00And the righty deals.
00:54:02That's in for a strike.
00:54:04Nasty 2-0 slider there for a strike.
00:54:07That tells you he's got a lot of confidence in that pitch.
00:54:14Righty to the play.
00:54:16Fouls one off.
00:54:172-2.
00:54:272-2.
00:54:29Missed to center field.
00:54:31Trout is there.
00:54:33Drops into the glove.
00:54:35And that is that.
00:54:36We go to the bottom half of inning number 6.
00:54:39And the 5-6-7 slots do up.
00:54:41Angels 5.
00:54:42And the Nationals 2.
00:54:47Back down for the bottom of the 6.
00:54:49And there's a new pitcher on the mound.
00:54:50Number 27.
00:54:51And his job is to collect quick outs.
00:54:54And keep his team within striking distance.
00:54:56At this point of the ball game.
00:54:58We're talking about middle innings.
00:54:59And a little length out of this arm.
00:55:02Coming out of the bullpen.
00:55:04We'll see just how many outs he's able to give his skipper.
00:55:10The wind of the pitch.
00:55:13Oh, this ball is crushed into left field.
00:55:16It's on its way.
00:55:17And gone.
00:55:23His second home run of the game.
00:55:25And they tack on to their lead.
00:55:27It's 6-2.
00:55:44Welcome to the game.
00:55:45First pitch out of the bullpen.
00:55:46A tough one.
00:55:47And you know he's just trying to get one in there for a strike.
00:55:50And on the other side as a hitter.
00:55:51It's a great time to be aggressive and let it fly.
00:55:54It's not what they were looking for when they turned to him.
00:55:56But now he's got to find a way to reset.
00:56:00Joe Adele.
00:56:01The next to hit for the Angels.
00:56:03The left fielder.
00:56:05Number 7.
00:56:06First pitch.
00:56:07Just misses.
00:56:08Always exciting to see a leadoff home run in an inning.
00:56:11Kind of gets the offense fired up.
00:56:13And you start to expect a big inning.
00:56:21Next offering is in for a strike.
00:56:31And he takes a strike.
00:56:47Right-handed reliever.
00:56:51Just outside.
00:56:52Two balls, two strikes.
00:56:56The pitch.
00:56:59Hit on the ground to the right side.
00:57:01And that's just foul.
00:57:102-2.
00:57:14And a foul ball.
00:57:15He stays alive.
00:57:19And here it comes.
00:57:23Swing and a miss.
00:57:24And he is down on strikes for the third straight at bat.
00:57:27Third time he struck out in this one.
00:57:29And definitely an individual performance.
00:57:32You want to flush.
00:57:32He just hasn't looked very comfortable up there.
00:57:35Just one of those days.
00:57:36But when you're still winning the ball game,
00:57:38at least you can focus on doing your part to maintain that lead.
00:57:41Getting that W.
00:57:42And now it's the D.H., Matt Theis.
00:57:48And first offering is fouled off.
00:58:02And the pitch.
00:58:04And it's one and one.
00:58:08One.
00:58:11And the pitch.
00:58:14Check swing.
00:58:15But he went too far.
00:58:17And that is strike two.
00:58:23Left-hand hitter waits.
00:58:27Stays alive.
00:58:32The pitch.
00:58:35And now it's even up.
00:58:41And the right-hander deals.
00:58:44And now the count filled up three and two.
00:58:52That one ripped, but fouled.
00:59:01Fouled off again.
00:59:03And it remains three and two.
00:59:13Fouled over to third.
00:59:14And that's a base hit in the left field.
00:59:17So Amanda Borden now with one away.
00:59:21Man, that was a pretty good battle to play.
00:59:23I'll tell you.
00:59:24That was pretty good as a hitter when you grind out a hit like that.
00:59:27Not much to this one other than just a willingness to go the other way
00:59:30and put the ball in play.
00:59:31That's a team to bat right there.
00:59:32Nice job of staying back and letting the ball go deep.
00:59:35One down.
00:59:37And next for the Angels, Max Stassi.
00:59:43That one's in there.
00:59:440-1.
00:59:53Thijs leads off first with one away.
01:00:01Oh, and two as he waves at that one.
01:00:10Righty delivers.
01:00:13Ground ball right side.
01:00:14Could be two.
01:00:15Slings to second.
01:00:17Back to first for two.
01:00:18And that'll do it.
01:00:19Angels get one with a solo homer.
01:00:21It's now 6-2.
01:00:42Welcome back.
01:00:43And now the catcher comes up to him.
01:00:44Hebert Ruiz.
01:00:46He got for Washington.
01:00:47The catcher.
01:00:48Hebert Ruiz.
01:00:59And the pitch.
01:01:02And there's the strike.
01:01:03Usually when a pitcher's had a dominant outing,
01:01:06he has filled up the strike zone,
01:01:07and he's gotten ahead in the count with first pitch strikes.
01:01:11Well, that's exactly what this guy has done in this one.
01:01:13Over 70% first pitch strikes.
01:01:22Kicks and fires.
01:01:26Rarely will you see a pitcher just waste a pitch like that.
01:01:29The batter wasn't even tempted to swing.
01:01:31Every pitch needs to have a purpose
01:01:32so that it can set up a following pitch
01:01:34to help you get that out.
01:01:40Kicks and deals.
01:01:42Kicks and a foul ball.
01:01:44He stays alive.
01:01:51The 1-2.
01:01:54Fouled off.
01:01:55He was late.
01:02:021-2 now.
01:02:05Stays alive.
01:02:06Man, he's been really good.
01:02:08About to hit that 100 pitch mark.
01:02:10They're here in the 7.
01:02:11Man, we'll see how far they're going to ride him,
01:02:13but it's been pretty good so far.
01:02:15And the righty deals.
01:02:18Swing and a miss.
01:02:19And he's down on strikes.
01:02:21And one away.
01:02:24And here is Cesar Hernandez.
01:02:28It's interesting.
01:02:29He plays kind of a power spot defensively,
01:02:33but runs pretty well.
01:02:35So, when you're looking at that position,
01:02:37you're not expecting someone that has maybe above average speed,
01:02:40but he does.
01:02:41On the ground out to short.
01:02:44Sends it across the first.
01:02:46And two away to start the seventh.
01:02:49The batter, number five.
01:02:51Shortstop.
01:02:52C.J.
01:02:54Abrams.
01:02:54C.J.
01:02:55Abrams.
01:02:56Digging in for the Nationals.
01:03:07To third.
01:03:11Randone.
01:03:11Throw to first.
01:03:13Third out.
01:03:15Nothing doing for Washington.
01:03:16They still trail it here.
01:03:18It's 6-2.
01:03:24Back here at the ballpark.
01:03:26Bottom of the seventh.
01:03:27Now it's the shortstop.
01:03:28David Fletcher.
01:03:29And leading up for the Angels.
01:03:31The shortstop.
01:03:33J.J.
01:03:34The pitch.
01:03:37And that's outside.
01:03:38Movement in the bullpen.
01:03:40Carl Edwards Jr.
01:03:41Up and loosening in the pen.
01:03:43Doolittle.
01:03:44A left-hander.
01:03:45Also throwing.
01:03:47Throwing.
01:03:59The pitch.
01:04:02And fouled off.
01:04:10Next pitch is outside.
01:04:18Riding to the plate.
01:04:21And that one fouled off.
01:04:27Here comes a pinch.
01:04:30And a foul ball.
01:04:31He stays alive.
01:04:32Now he's desperately looking for that swing and miss.
01:04:35He's going to have to just change speeds a little bit.
01:04:37Try to move it around.
01:04:39Create just a little bit of illusion at the end.
01:04:42Fires over to Voigt.
01:04:43And one away in the bottom of the seventh.
01:04:47Now back to the second baseman.
01:04:54Back to the top of the Angels lineup.
01:04:56Luis Rangifo digs in now.
01:04:59With this kind of lead, he can swing freely.
01:05:02Try to hit the ball out of the park.
01:05:03Do what he loves to do.
01:05:10And the first pitch misses for ball one.
01:05:16Right-hander kicks deals.
01:05:19Bounce to the left side.
01:05:20Abrams collects.
01:05:22Whips it to first.
01:05:24Two up, two down.
01:05:27No 10 or 2.
01:05:28Number 27.
01:05:30Mark.
01:05:32Two outs.
01:05:33Base is empty.
01:05:34Here's Mike Trout.
01:05:35Great speed and great power.
01:05:38A great athlete, quite simply.
01:05:45First offering, and it just misses.
01:05:47He's like Mike Trout.
01:05:48You figure whatever you put in his hand, whether it's a bat, whether it's a golf club, whether it's a
01:05:52basketball,
01:05:52he can do it and get it done.
01:05:55And a rare talent.
01:05:56So much fun to watch.
01:05:58Abrams tosses the first.
01:05:59That is the inning.
01:06:01Angels go down 1-2-3.
01:06:03They lead it 6-2.
01:06:12They hand the ball over to a new arm.
01:06:14Jimmy Hergen.
01:06:15And he'll do his best to hang on to this lead.
01:06:20Jimmy Hergen.
01:06:27We go to the eighth.
01:06:29Here's the center fielder, Victor Robles.
01:06:32The center fielder, number 16, Victor Robles.
01:06:39And a pitch.
01:06:42And ball one.
01:06:51There's a strike.
01:07:07The wind and the pitch.
01:07:10Swings and misses.
01:07:12And that's one away.
01:07:13The leadoff man is out in the eighth.
01:07:16Oh, nothing too fancy on the strikeout pitch right there.
01:07:18Just a low 90s fastball.
01:07:20And I'm not sure he was trying to challenge him, but that's pretty much what happened.
01:07:23Very hittable location.
01:07:25But he found a way to just get it by him.
01:07:28Lane Thomas, digging in for the Nationals.
01:07:32One for three.
01:07:35First pitch doesn't find the zone.
01:07:48And here it comes.
01:07:52Back-to-back breaking pitches away.
01:07:54You get the feeling as a hitter that the pitcher's afraid of you.
01:07:58That he doesn't want to challenge you.
01:07:59So, I think the confidence level is raised right here.
01:08:04And now two and one.
01:08:17Out towards left center.
01:08:19Adele settles under it.
01:08:23That's out number two.
01:08:28The batter number two.
01:08:30Second baseman.
01:08:32Luis Garcia.
01:08:34Two outs.
01:08:34Bases empty.
01:08:35Up now for Washington.
01:08:36Luis Garcia.
01:08:45Slap the other way.
01:08:47Foul.
01:08:50The 0-1.
01:08:54And that one moves to speed.
01:09:06Check swing.
01:09:07Went around.
01:09:08And the count.
01:09:09One and two.
01:09:12And he deals.
01:09:15And that one almost got him.
01:09:27Next one is off the plate.
01:09:29And that's ball three.
01:09:33The line of the pitch.
01:09:36Swing and a miss.
01:09:37And he got him.
01:09:38And good work there as he gets a 1-2-3.
01:09:41Nationals go quietly.
01:09:43They still trail it here.
01:09:45It's 6-2.
01:09:50On to the bottom of the eighth.
01:09:52And now the right fielder.
01:09:53Taylor Ward.
01:09:54And leading up for the eighth goal.
01:09:57The right fielder.
01:09:58Taylor.
01:09:59Hawaii to kick the pitch.
01:10:00Waugh.
01:10:02And it's foul away.
01:10:08the pitch
01:10:11on the ground
01:10:12the first
01:10:12and that's a fair
01:10:13ball

01:11:48movement
01:11:48that thing tumbles
01:11:49out of his hand
