00:00:24Live from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx,
00:00:27the show has an AL East matchup.
00:00:30It's the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the New York Yankees.
00:00:37First pitch coming your way next.
00:00:44And on the hill, Garrett Cole.
00:00:47Singing he's managed to rack up a lot of innings on the mound this season.
00:00:52And Boog, this guy's getting close to 200 innings on the year.
00:00:55You know, there's some milestones that pitchers go after.
00:00:58Number 20 wins.
00:00:59But another one that we don't talk about a whole lot is that 200 inning threshold.
00:01:04To be able to surpass that says that, hey, they prepared themselves for the season.
00:01:08They were able to stay healthy and they were able to pitch effectively enough
00:01:12to stay in ball games long enough to reach that number.
00:01:15Pretty impressive on what he's done.
00:01:17And it's not over yet.
00:01:18It drops in.
00:01:19Gets away a little bit.
00:01:21Not exactly the proof.
00:01:23Jonathan Aranda will hit next.
00:01:26Homeward last night added another hit as well.
00:01:31And ball one.
00:01:33Challenge from behind the dish here.
00:01:38And that just scraped the zone.
00:01:41The ball is overturned.
00:01:43Still two challenges left for them.
00:01:51Ball, that's off the plate.
00:01:53Simpson gets his lead at first with nobody out.
00:01:56Quick move to first.
00:01:58Simpson back in on a dive.
00:02:08Here's a 1-1.
00:02:09Runner on the goal.
00:02:10Pitch in for a strike.
00:02:12Safe at second.
00:02:13And he easily steals the bag.
00:02:16And the league leader in stolen bases does it again.
00:02:19Well, he's batting leadoff and he's acting like a traditional leadoff hitter.
00:02:23Gets on base to start the game then puts himself on second with a nice stolen bag.
00:02:27I think that sets the tone for the offense for sure.
00:02:30Brown ball right side.
00:02:32And that chance handled in plenty of time.
00:02:35The first awesome play there.
00:02:38All right, let's take a look at the Rays lineup.
00:02:40This is a ball club that can really slug.
00:02:43Lots of homers.
00:02:44Lots of extra base hits.
00:02:45And Chris, that of course a huge part of success in the standings for this group.
00:02:49In today's game, hitting with power is essential, Boog.
00:02:53With pitchers throwing 95 and above, stringing hits together is hard to do.
00:02:58So, home runs and extra base hits are crucial.
00:03:00And that's exactly what they've been doing.
00:03:03One away with a runner at third.
00:03:05Here is the third and final game of the series.
00:03:10Crushed.
00:03:11Left center field.
00:03:12This one's deep.
00:03:13Forget it.
00:03:19His 46th of the year.
00:03:21The Rays strike first.
00:03:23It's 2-0.
00:03:25You can't ask for a better start than hitting a home run in your first at bat to give your
00:03:30team the lead.
00:03:34Power versus power right there.
00:03:35Like two locomotives colliding.
00:03:38Who's going to win?
00:03:39Well, a really good job there by the hitter.
00:03:41Getting the top hand working.
00:03:43Powers that fastball out of here.
00:03:45One down.
00:03:47Yandy Diaz down.
00:04:02In for a strike.
00:04:04And it's nothing in two.
00:04:05He doesn't get a knock right here.
00:04:06That pitch he just took is going to eat at him for a while.
00:04:10You might not see another pitch like that from a top level guy like this.
00:04:15Swing and a high fly ball left field.
00:04:17Bellinger on his way over.
00:04:20Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
00:04:22And there's two down.
00:04:27That is the right fielder.
00:04:29Gavin.
00:04:36Hey.
00:04:48I tried to backdo him with that slider right there but just missed off the plate.
00:04:52Good pitch though.
00:04:57Breaking ball and that got him.
00:04:59Got it.
00:04:59Perfect.
00:05:02Man at first.
00:05:04Cedric Mullins.
00:05:05The next to hit.
00:05:06It's been a tough stretch for him at the plate.
00:05:09Only two hits over the last five games.
00:05:12Back to right.
00:05:13Judge.
00:05:14In position.
00:05:16And that's the third out.
00:05:20The Rays with a two run homer.
00:05:22It's now a two nothing ball game.
00:05:33Back in New York.
00:05:35And starting on the mound for the Rays.
00:05:37Ryan Pepeo.
00:05:38And singing it's unique these days but he's more of a pitch to contact type of guy.
00:05:43Trent Grisham stepping in now for the Yankees.
00:05:46The center fielder.
00:05:47Number 12.
00:05:48Trent.
00:05:50This one chopped up the middle.
00:05:53Throws the first in time.
00:05:55One pitch and one out.
00:05:57As we take a look now at the New York Yankees lineup.
00:06:00This is one of the best teams in the league when it comes to drawing walks Chris.
00:06:04So we'll probably see a very patient approach from them.
00:06:07Yeah Boogie.
00:06:08That's often what leads to a lot of runs scored.
00:06:10You get runners on base.
00:06:12You work that pitch count out for the opposing pitchers.
00:06:14And then you take advantage when they make mistakes.
00:06:16You get into that bullpen.
00:06:18You can tell that everyone up and down this lineup.
00:06:20Just comes in with a great plan of attack.
00:06:22A lot of patience.
00:06:23Just like you said.
00:06:26That just misses.
00:06:28Ball one.
00:06:29See if he can go upstairs a little bit.
00:06:30Make sure you miss up and out of the zone.
00:06:33Since you're heading out one two.
00:06:34Don't miss in the zone.
00:06:36Because that's where you get hurt.
00:06:37Well executed pitch on the outside part of the plate.
00:06:39Chisholm Jr.
00:06:44Jazz Chisholm Jr. now.
00:06:46Hitless in the series so far.
00:06:47He's 0 for 7.
00:06:57There's a swing and a drive.
00:07:01That one outs against the fence.
00:07:06Safely into second.
00:07:07He's got a double.
00:07:10Off the bat it was headed for the gap all the way.
00:07:13And as a hitter you love seeing those as you take your first couple of steps out of the box.
00:07:17You know you've got some real estate to run on.
00:07:20It's such a good feeling.
00:07:21Nice liner into the gap right there.
00:07:24Ball one.
00:07:25The strategy of winning a ball game.
00:07:27When you could make that pitcher work a little more.
00:07:29Expose himself by throwing pitches.
00:07:31That could be the key to winning perhaps later on.
00:07:34So good job of extending this inning.
00:07:36Getting a knock.
00:07:36Gets it to first.
00:07:38Third out.
00:07:38That ends the frame.
00:07:40The Yanks leave one.
00:07:41They trail it here.
00:07:422-0.
00:07:48We move ahead to the top of the second now.
00:07:50And stepping in for the raise.
00:07:52Hesung Kim.
00:07:58Cole.
00:07:59More than a hundred career wins on the mound.
00:08:02And of course has a Cy Young to his credit.
00:08:08Lifted in the air down the left side.
00:08:10And that's a fair ball.
00:08:12Around first.
00:08:13Digging for two.
00:08:14The throw in.
00:08:15And he's got no chance.
00:08:17He's out.
00:08:18Got along the hustle and the attitude there to try to stretch that single into a double.
00:08:23But unfortunately thrown out at second base.
00:08:25He was so close to being in scoring position.
00:08:31Misses just off the outside edge.
00:08:33I think that was a strike.
00:08:41In the air to left center.
00:08:44Volpe gets under it.
00:08:47And there are two down.
00:08:49That's a really nice play ranging back into the outfield for that catch.
00:08:53We all know.
00:08:54Those can be a little tricky.
00:08:55Especially if the wind swirling around out there.
00:09:01Carson Williams.
00:09:02Stands in but two away.
00:09:04As he takes a ball.
00:09:10On the ground right side.
00:09:13And that is the inning.
00:09:16Rays go in order.
00:09:18One, two, three.
00:09:19They're up to nothing.
00:09:23Bottom of the inning.
00:09:25Here's the Yankees catcher now.
00:09:26Austin Wells.
00:09:27Chris is definitely going to finish the year with a new career high at homers.
00:09:31We just don't know how many he's going to hit quite yet.
00:09:34Breaking ball.
00:09:35Misses down and away.
00:09:44Ball.
00:09:58The wind to kick to 2-0.
00:10:02Slashed foul down the right side.
00:10:04That'll hook off into the seats.
00:10:15That's a strike across the top of the zone.
00:10:17Well, it looks like he's wanting to work the upper part of the strike zone.
00:10:20What does that mean?
00:10:21Top hand better be working for the hitters.
00:10:23Adjust that side a little bit.
00:10:25Give yourself a chance to hit.
00:10:26And it's fouled off.
00:10:28They'll do it again.
00:10:33Here's a 2-2.
00:10:37And a foul ball.
00:10:39He stays alive.
00:10:47Just off the inside corner.
00:10:50Full countdown.
00:10:50Really good take.
00:10:52Especially with two strikes.
00:10:58Keeps the impact going with a foul ball.
00:11:10Now a screamer into the outfield.
00:11:13Drops in for a hit.
00:11:14Couldn't run it down.
00:11:16Around first and hustling for second.
00:11:18And the bottom of the second starts with a double.
00:11:21Maddington.
00:11:22Number five.
00:11:23Nice line drive to the post side right there.
00:11:24But he didn't spin off of it.
00:11:26That's the key.
00:11:27You still have to extend through the baseball in order to hit a line drive like that.
00:11:34Ball one.
00:11:37Runner in scoring position.
00:11:39Nobody out.
00:11:40Bottom half of inning number two.
00:11:42Sliced hard but fouled down the left side.
00:11:50Inside ball two.
00:11:57Line drive.
00:11:59Base hit.
00:12:00Here comes Wells around third.
00:12:04The relay.
00:12:04He'll score.
00:12:05And it's a one-run game.
00:12:07Love how he let that ball travel.
00:12:09Trusted his hands.
00:12:10Nice job of going the other way.
00:12:17Anthony Volpe.
00:12:19Stepping in now for the Yankees.
00:12:20Looking for better results than last night.
00:12:23He went 0 for 4.
00:12:24On the ground.
00:12:25Two ball.
00:12:26There's one.
00:12:27Relay to first.
00:12:29Double play.
00:12:29Oh man.
00:12:30What a smooth double play.
00:12:32That was a thing of beauty from start to finish.
00:12:34Bellinger.
00:12:46Ball.
00:12:47That's out.
00:12:56That's out.
00:12:57That's out there.
00:12:57That's strike one.
00:13:04Ball two.
00:13:09That's in there.
00:13:12That's strike one.
00:13:13Ball two.
00:13:23And that one upstairs.
00:13:37Into the outfield.
00:13:39Base hit.
00:13:40Two and two out.
00:13:41Not keeps the end alive.
00:13:43He made it out.
00:13:44It's been a tough stretch to play.
00:13:46Wasn't able to elevate that one, but he sure hit it hard enough to get through the infield.
00:13:50There's not a whole lot of time for the defenders to react and try to make a play when it's
00:13:54ripped like that.
00:13:56Ryan McMahon.
00:13:57The next to hit.
00:13:58Takes ball one.
00:14:05And another ball.
00:14:06Now he's really working him away.
00:14:08This bat sometimes take a little bit off velocity.
00:14:10Try to get a rollover.
00:14:12Something on the ground.
00:14:13Stay away from that big hole on the right side of the infield.
00:14:16Wide throw.
00:14:16Pulls him off the bag.
00:14:18And the inning still alive.
00:14:20The better fielder.
00:14:21Up and close.
00:14:23Rick.
00:14:24Rick.
00:14:27In there for a strike at the bottom of the zone.
00:14:36That's off the inside corner.
00:14:38And that's ball long.
00:14:45Good spot for the hitter.
00:14:46Definitely has the advantage in this count with runners on.
00:14:49Look for him to be aggressive on this next pitch.
00:14:55In the air right field.
00:14:58Lux settles underneath it.
00:15:00And that's the inning.
00:15:04But they pick up one run on the RBI single.
00:15:07And it's now a 2-1 ball game.
00:15:09It's an AL East matchup here on MLB The Show.
00:15:13Back here at the ballpark.
00:15:14Let's check out the latest news from around the league.
00:15:28Not what he's looking for there in the 0-0 count.
00:15:30Looks like he wants the ball down in the zone.
00:15:38Fastball for a strike.
00:15:48And look out.
00:15:50That one gets him.
00:15:51The second man is plunked in this one.
00:15:53The fourth baseman, number eight, Jonathan Arundel.
00:16:03In there for a strike one.
00:16:13Swing and a miss.
00:16:14And he got him to chase.
00:16:16Another 0-2 count right here.
00:16:18Pitcher just in the driver's seat.
00:16:19He can go anywhere he wants to go right here.
00:16:22That's a ball.
00:16:32Ball back then.
00:16:41Swing and a ball hit out towards left center field.
00:16:45Bellinger makes the grab.
00:16:47One down.
00:16:51Up next to Tampa Bay, the third baseman, number 13, Junior.
00:16:56Junior Camonero digs in now.
00:16:58Coming off an absolute bomb in his last at-bat.
00:17:03Quick toss to first.
00:17:05And he's back in there.
00:17:15I'm impressed that he went right after him on that first pitch.
00:17:18That's the key.
00:17:19Try to get ahead in the count.
00:17:20And you can play around a little bit more as a bat expands.
00:17:24And that misses.
00:17:25And that's ball one.
00:17:27Man at first, one away.
00:17:31Runner on the goal.
00:17:32Pitch is low.
00:17:34Throw bounces.
00:17:35And he's in there safely with the stolen base.
00:17:38And that extends his lead for the most stolen bases in baseball.
00:17:53Man at second.
00:17:56Fouls one off.
00:17:57Two and two.
00:18:08Bounced up the middle.
00:18:09And that one handled.
00:18:11Slings to first.
00:18:12Two gone.
00:18:16First of all, that's just a nice job to even get to that ball.
00:18:19And then even more impressive was the throw.
00:18:22Off balance.
00:18:22Had to try to, in the air, get his shoulders turned and make a strong throw.
00:18:27Does show off the strength of the arm.
00:18:29We're usually used to seeing that kind of arm strength from the shortstop.
00:18:32Catch your challenge.
00:18:32We'll take another look.
00:18:36And that one did find the strike zone.
00:18:39So they get to hang on to their second challenge.
00:18:47Heal one.
00:18:49And a foul ball.
00:18:53Two outs and a runner in third.
00:18:55We're here in the top half of inning number three.
00:19:01Up the middle.
00:19:02That's a base hit.
00:19:04Run scores.
00:19:09Comes through with the RBI.
00:19:11Once you get the ball by the pitcher, there's a lot of base hits up the middle.
00:19:15Even on ground balls.
00:19:16So a nice job to use that big hole and get himself a hit.
00:19:20Runner at first with two away.
00:19:21Here's Gavin Lux to hit.
00:19:26That one's in there all in one.
00:19:40On a line base hit.
00:19:42So that's two straight, two out hits.
00:19:51Everything was on time and fluid in that swing.
00:19:54Got a pitch.
00:19:55You could get the barrel on and lined it in the center for the knock.
00:19:58Those always feel good.
00:20:04Off the mark there.
00:20:06Ball one.
00:20:17Two on, two outs.
00:20:20Swing and a ground ball.
00:20:22The underhand flip.
00:20:23And very nicely done for the out.
00:20:26But the RBI single pushes across a run.
00:20:29We move on to the bottom of inning number three.
00:20:32This is Rays Baseball on the show.
00:20:36Ready to go for the last half of the inning.
00:20:39Aaron Judge.
00:20:40Top five at home runs in the league.
00:20:43And his taters don't just leave the yard.
00:20:45They leave the conversation.
00:20:47Yeah, it's like there's a swing and see you tomorrow.
00:20:50Chris, he's their team leader when it comes to RBIs.
00:20:55Judge rips that one.
00:20:58Takes it in for the out.
00:21:00One away.
00:21:01Man, that's one of those at-bats where you have to remind yourself it's about the process.
00:21:05He did everything right right there.
00:21:07Nothing to show for it.
00:21:08But in your mind, you have to convince yourself that it was a very good at-bat.
00:21:15Every at-bat looks competitive, Singy.
00:21:18Yeah, and he's done an excellent job taking advantage of mistake pitches, too.
00:21:22Produces game after game no matter who's on the mound.
00:21:28The 1-1.
00:21:32Fought off foul.
00:21:42Hacks and misses.
00:21:43It's a strikeout.
00:21:44Just indecisive in that at-bat.
00:21:46He couldn't commit to the slider.
00:21:48Tried to sit in between.
00:21:49Just not able to put the bat on the ball.
00:21:51For the Yankees.
00:21:52Giancarlo stanked at the plate.
00:21:55Giancarlo.
00:21:56Denson.
00:21:58Hey!
00:21:59Nowadays, with advanced metrics and increased use of moving the infielders around, defense
00:22:04isn't necessarily about making errors.
00:22:06Are you able to get to the ball?
00:22:08Are you able to position fielders where guys hit the ball, but within the new shift rules?
00:22:17Two down, nobody on.
00:22:21Nope!
00:22:22In an area that goes unnoticed is the coach that's responsible for positioning, and then
00:22:27the research person that's providing the information.
00:22:30So, what we're seeing in baseball, so many more people behind the scenes that are contributing
00:22:35to the success between the lines.
00:22:37To first, three up, three down, inning over.
00:22:43Rays three.
00:22:44And the Yankees won.
00:22:52Welcome back.
00:22:53Let's take a look at how the series has played out so far.
00:23:06Back when you played, it wasn't the empirical data we have now.
00:23:10It was a guy with a ruler and a diamond taking a colored pencil and drawing a line where he
00:23:15thought someone had hit the ball, right?
00:23:18That or just going off of gut or feel, what does it look like his swing is today?
00:23:23What's the pitcher throwing?
00:23:24They are sticking to the metrics and what seems to be most consistent for that hitter, regardless
00:23:30of who the pitcher is on the mound.
00:23:37The one-two.
00:23:41Battling here as he fouls it away.
00:23:51Ripped to third.
00:23:54McMahon fires over to first.
00:23:56That's the first out in the top of the fourth.
00:23:59Up next for Tampa Bay, the catcher, number nine, Hunter Paduccio.
00:24:04goodstop.
00:24:04Yeah.
00:24:12Ah.
00:24:16Ow.
00:24:17Ow.
00:24:18Ow.
00:24:19Ow.
00:24:20Ow.
00:24:23Ow.
00:24:31Ow.
00:24:36swing and a miss and he chases that one in the dirt got him two gone after the strikeout well
00:24:41that's pretty much the dream two-strike curveball if you're the pitcher hard downward break at the
00:24:46very end that just dips below the swing path and they say pitchers want to try to bounce that pitch
00:24:52right on top of the plate so that was exactly what he was looking for on the matter Williams
00:24:56stands in now and watches strike one not even close there one ball once strike on the ground
00:25:15to the left pulpy throws the first in time that's the third out inning over down in order go the
00:25:23Rays
00:25:24but they still lead at 3-1 back at Yankee Stadium and stepping in for the Yankees Austin Wells
00:25:32Pepeo back to work you know these Yankees doing a great job Boog of just waiting for the right pitch
00:25:39to come their way and I'm seeing very patient at bats out of him he's only given up one run
00:25:44but the
00:25:44starters pitch count is starting to get up there and that might be the best news yet for this offense
00:25:48and that'll bring the tying run to the plate wasting no time he's two for two now on the night
00:25:55and just a triple and home run away from the cycle seriously we're starting with this already
00:26:05on the ground a third there's one not in time at first it's a fielder's choice good fade and sinking
00:26:14action with that changeup got that hitter to roll one out man at first Anthony Volpe stepping in now for
00:26:21the Yankees
00:26:32that's in ball two
00:26:39that's a bullet but it goes foul
00:26:45Rice leads off first with one away runner takes off this one in the air center field Mullins under it
00:26:53makes the catch chance to double the runner off first
00:27:00up next for the Yankees the left fielder Cody
00:27:06Bellinger
00:27:09in there at the knees that strike one generally second third time through the
00:27:14lineup you want to be able to lean on those secondary pitches and command them
00:27:18looks like he's doing a nice job of it
00:27:23the 0 2 stays alive
00:27:33foul it off and they'll do it again
00:27:41popped in the air left field Simpson drifts towards it and that ends the inning
00:27:49they get a leadoff single but leave them stranded we're headed to the fifth raise three and the
00:27:54Yankees one
00:27:57welcome back as we take a look at how today's starting pitchers have fared so far
00:28:01since then
00:28:10well these rays doing a good job of simply getting the bat on the ball in this game
00:28:15and the numbers back that up one thing that really stands out to me is how
00:28:18they've only struck out one time that's good discipline right there and on top
00:28:23of it they're producing more than a hit per any
00:28:43this one popped up
00:28:47takes it in for the out and you know we're living in the launch angle era but today feels like
00:28:52we're being treated to a throwback performance
00:28:54talking about those ground ball numbers in this one
00:29:05pretty good as far as being in the strike zone but I'm sure as a hitter not too good
00:29:09with where it was located very top of the strike zone middle away
00:29:14ball
00:29:25that one ripped but foul
00:29:37swing and a ball popped in the air Volpe under it
00:29:40two away
00:29:48up next for Tampa Bay the third baseman number 13 and now junior Camonero he's already
00:29:55homered in this game
00:30:00nope he boasts a batting average that ranks top ten in the league at the moment
00:30:08singe
00:30:08yeah
00:30:19chop back up the middle
00:30:20Volpe
00:30:22whips it to first
00:30:24and it's a one two three inning
00:30:26raise three and the Yankees one
00:30:32back in the Bronx we head to the bottom of the fifth
00:30:35Ryan McMahon stepping in now for the Yankees
00:30:38man
00:30:39you know these Yankees just haven't produced as many competitive at bats as I'd like to see in this one
00:30:45they really haven't worked many deep counts or long at bats and that's fine if you're having a lot of
00:30:50success but at this point I think it's time to make an adjustment
00:30:53tosses to first
00:30:55and the leadoff hitter retired in the fifth
00:30:57center fielder number 12
00:31:01hitter
00:31:07high
00:31:16fly ball down the line
00:31:20and it looks just foul a little anxious on that change up right there and tells you he's ready
00:31:26to hit a fastball if he can let that thing get deeper as he recognizes it out of the hand
00:31:31and
00:31:32tell you what he could be circling the bases the raise leading by two last half of inning number
00:31:40five and that's off the outside edge two balls two strikes recognize that change up right out
00:31:47of the hand just spit on it lifted in the air left field pretty well struck he's got it two
00:31:58down
00:32:05here's judge down net cruising on the mound right now but a dangerous hitter here in this
00:32:10spot a guy with some slug to him jack swing and he went it's 0-1
00:32:23there's a strike though he's got to be pretty proud of this outing so far sometimes guys cower coming
00:32:28into a ballpark like this but he is attacked hitters pitching on the three I locked him up
00:32:33and that'll do it the inning is over yanks held in check
00:32:39welcome back it's been a great game so let's take another look at the most important moment so far
00:33:08on the mound now will Warren just trying to keep this one close here and this is where a bullpen
00:33:14can give
00:33:15their players a chance to fight back into the game
00:33:33rips that one center field and a quick out number one
00:33:43and now it's Gavin Lux good swing out of him last time ripped a liner in the center
00:33:51spits the plate and that is strike one double barreled action in the bullpen Paul Blackburn the
00:33:57right-handed sinker baller he looks to be readying himself Doval also getting ready
00:34:020-1 now and a big swing and a miss
00:34:26now he breaks his bat two down
00:34:30well that's what he's looking for with the fastball above the zone a swing and
00:34:34miss or a weak contact the center fielder Cedric Mullen
00:34:44no question about this one it's out of here
00:34:52Cedric Mullen sends it out homer number 25 of the year and they add to their lead
00:34:59it's for one they wasted no time in that at bat swinging at the first pitch and he
00:35:05punished it looks like this guy was looking out over the plate but he was
00:35:10ready to turn on the inside fastball so direct to the pitch absolutely blasted out of this ballpark
00:35:19so two down now up for Tampa Bay Hesung Kim
00:35:37short hop liner handled it short the throw to burst and that is the third out of the inning solo
00:35:44homer extends the lead for Tampa Bay it's now a 4-1 ball game it's an AL East matchup here
00:35:51on MLB the show
00:35:56welcome back to the ballpark
00:35:58check out the current playoff picture
00:36:13and that one clips the corner tonight his slider has been really impressive I mean tight spin seems like the
00:36:19hitters aren't picking it up
00:36:20and that's in for a strike
00:36:220-1-2
00:36:270-2 pitch that far out of the zone gives the hitter a little confidence that maybe he can climb
00:36:33back into this at bat
00:36:35ball two
00:36:43good eye right there
00:36:52into the outfield base hit solo level aboard to start the inning
00:37:00not much to this one other than just a willing is to go the other way and put the ball
00:37:04in play that's a team to bat right there
00:37:05nice job of staying back and letting the ball go deep
00:37:17ball one
00:37:18now these guys definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here try to close that gap but
00:37:23you know at the very least if you could find a way to manufacture that run from first it feels
00:37:27like it's really important to getting back into this ball game
00:37:30brings it in and there's one down
00:37:33boy that was a hanging breaking ball right there I think he tried to do a little bit too much
00:37:37sometimes
00:37:38those eyes can get really big I think his swing broke down as well and that's what caused him to
00:37:42pop it up
00:37:43one out man at first
00:37:45Austin Wells stepping in now for the Yankees
00:37:48check swing
00:37:49no appeal
00:37:51and it's 1-0
00:37:52runner on the go
00:37:54pitch in for a strike
00:37:56no throw safe in second
00:37:59that's 20 stolen bases for him this season
00:38:05and a 1-1
00:38:08hard grounder into the outfield for a knock
00:38:10Jazz on his horse coming around third
00:38:12he'll score easily
00:38:14it's an RBI single
00:38:16and they cut the lead to two
00:38:18well that gets them a little closer in this one
00:38:20I know that was a ground ball but it was absolutely hammered through the infield
00:38:24that's not one you're excited to get in front of if you're an infielder
00:38:28you know they used to say charge it crazy
00:38:30everybody drops in for a strike
00:38:39well struck deep right field
00:38:41way back
00:38:42and out of here
00:38:47a two run shot
00:38:49and we have a tie ball game
00:38:51it's 4-4
00:38:52maybe he's starting to break out of this mini slough
00:38:55that's the type of swing that makes you think good things are coming his way
00:39:02a breaking ball on the inside part of the play requires a hitter to stay
00:39:06really square with his mechanics
00:39:07if you fly up in with the press shoulder
00:39:09there's no way you keep that
00:39:18standing job mechanically
00:39:20he deserves that home run
00:39:24Volpe in the box here lets that one go for a ball
00:39:27curveball kind of backed up on him there
00:39:29I think it just slid out of the hand a little bit too soon
00:39:33that one fouled off
00:39:39tied at four
00:39:43that's a ball
00:39:52that's a little bit more
00:40:03fouls one away and now three and two
00:40:08already three runs across in the frame
00:40:11here in the bottom of the six
00:40:14goes down looking
00:40:16Volpe
00:40:17not happy about that calm strike
00:40:19here's the challenge
00:40:20and it's going to stay a strike
00:40:21so that removes their last challenge
00:40:33ball
00:40:34that's out
00:40:41ball
00:40:42inside
00:40:47two down
00:40:48Dolby on
00:40:49that one misses
00:40:52and it's three at all
00:41:00right through there for a strike
00:41:11swing and a miss and it's a full count now
00:41:19draws the walk there
00:41:21well a breaking ball in that three-two count
00:41:23kind of tells you that that's the pitch he has the most confidence in right now
00:41:27just couldn't find the strike zone
00:41:30McMahon
00:41:31in the box here and fouls it off for strike one
00:41:37Bellinger goes
00:41:39that one is absolutely belted
00:41:41way back there it's got a chance
00:41:45grabs it right up against the wall
00:41:49another look at the long ball for the Yankees
00:41:52all even now at four piece
00:41:53you're watching Tampa Bay Rays baseball on the show Florida
00:41:59welcome back we're in the 7th we have a new pitcher on the mound
00:42:02Fernando Cruz
00:42:04and he's had a struggle so far this year
00:42:06as you can see the inflated ERA
00:42:08looking to bring that down a little bit right here
00:42:37way out front for strike two
00:42:46ball two
00:42:56swings and misses struck him out
00:42:59that's about as nasty of a splinter as you'll come across
00:43:02especially in terms of movement
00:43:03that thing tumbles out of his hand
00:43:05and just drops off the table at the last moment
00:43:07he keeps it down it's just so tough to put wood on
00:43:13jackknife's out of the way
00:43:14straighten him up a little bit
00:43:26that one outside
00:43:27and it's two and oh
00:43:29he's been raking in recent games
00:43:31and a big reason why
00:43:33getting ahead and counts
00:43:34he's been able to do that consistently
00:43:36and you see the results
00:43:37tied at four
00:43:52two to one
00:43:54foul ball there
00:44:09sharp grounder
00:44:10that's through for a base hit
00:44:13so the go-ahead run is on base with a knock
00:44:18he wasn't able to elevate it but he put a great swing on it
00:44:22right on time
00:44:23good balanced approach
00:44:31blasted it through the infield
00:44:37now quick throw to first
00:44:38Williams
00:44:39dives back in safely
00:44:47now here is
00:44:49Chandler Simpson
00:44:50and immediately pumps in a strike
00:44:52to the left-handed hitter
00:45:02slashed foul down the right side
00:45:04that'll hook off into the seats
00:45:06so now it's all about protect mode
00:45:08try to shorten up
00:45:09try to track the ball
00:45:10block it if you have to
00:45:12as far as just a late swing
00:45:13that maybe you're not sure about
00:45:14but some way
00:45:15somehow
00:45:17climb back into
00:45:18and there's two away
00:45:19man he just couldn't lay off right there
00:45:22those high fastballs
00:45:23they just look really good
00:45:24because they're eye level
00:45:26but they're just about impossible
00:45:28to get the barrel to
00:45:35burn at bat can be a little bit of a dance
00:45:37strike one here
00:45:38but a few more pitches
00:45:40we'll see how it turns out
00:45:49in the air right field
00:45:51pretty well struck
00:45:53dives but it falls
00:45:54and now it looks like extra bases
00:45:56runner around third
00:45:58on his way to the plate
00:45:59and they take the lead
00:46:01in the seventh
00:46:02clutch hitting right there
00:46:03to give him the lead
00:46:04this late in the ball game
00:46:05good pitch hard and inside
00:46:07but he showed off some quick hands
00:46:09got the barrel to it
00:46:10and was able to yank it
00:46:11into the outfield
00:46:13so a runner at second
00:46:14two down
00:46:15intention to walk here
00:46:16with two out
00:46:17they set up a force
00:46:18at any base
00:46:19stand the inning
00:46:32that one finds the zone
00:46:344-1
00:46:44comes up empty
00:46:46that's strike two
00:46:47well he knows
00:46:48they don't want to give him
00:46:49anything to hit
00:46:50but when you've got opportunities
00:46:51to drive in runs
00:46:53you've got to expand the zone
00:46:54he's capable of going out there
00:46:56and doing damage with it
00:47:00got him swinging for the strikeout
00:47:03they limit the damage here
00:47:05Rays get an RBI double
00:47:07it's now a 5-4 ball game
00:47:19we're back in a new pitcher here
00:47:20to start the bottom of the seventh
00:47:22Mason Engler
00:47:23definitely a guy that pounds the strike zone
00:47:26makes hitters earn their way on base
00:47:28and rarely gets in trouble
00:47:29because of free passes
00:47:31left field way back there
00:47:38carrying well
00:47:39and it's off the wall
00:47:44into second base
00:47:46the tying run is on
00:47:47with a leadoff double
00:47:50well that's how you respond
00:47:52leadoff man comes up
00:47:53gets into scoring position
00:47:54now
00:47:55there are several ways
00:47:57that they can get this run across
00:48:15and ball one to judge
00:48:17with a single base runner
00:48:19because of all the power
00:48:21they are dangerous
00:48:22to tie this thing up
00:48:24or take the lead
00:48:26in the air left field
00:48:28Simpson settles under it
00:48:30he's got it
00:48:31and there's one down
00:48:33just pulled off of it
00:48:34a little bit right there
00:48:35that front shoulder
00:48:36coming open
00:48:37instead of staying closed
00:48:38if he does that
00:48:40he's going to be able to go up the middle
00:48:41the other way
00:48:42with some authority
00:48:43instead of a fly out to left
00:48:45so now
00:48:46with one away
00:48:47and a man at second
00:48:48and next for New York
00:48:50Jazz Chisholm Jr
00:48:54that's out number two
00:48:58up next for the Yankees
00:49:00the designated hitter
00:49:02John Carlisle
00:49:030 for 3 in this one
00:49:06no no base hits in the series
00:49:08for him so far
00:49:09and it's clearly been a rough one
00:49:10you just hope he's not pressing
00:49:12too hard because that just compounds
00:49:13things
00:49:14it makes the slump even longer
00:49:15never seems to help
00:49:17never helped me
00:49:17so the tying run is second
00:49:20that one finds the zone
00:49:22pull it two down
00:49:30fights it off
00:49:31you'll see another
00:49:43down low
00:49:44it kicks away
00:49:49no movement
00:49:49now a ball
00:49:50and two strikes
00:49:57he's trying to stay down
00:49:58in the zone
00:49:59but the hitter
00:50:00just will not chase
00:50:01now back in a 2-2 count
00:50:02he's going to have to go
00:50:03to something else
00:50:04to get him out
00:50:08almost got him
00:50:20good job to fight
00:50:21that one off
00:50:22this is a good time
00:50:23to step out of the box
00:50:24take a deep breath
00:50:25reset
00:50:25couple of changeups
00:50:27probably won't see
00:50:27another one here
00:50:30swing and a miss
00:50:32struck him out
00:50:33he didn't make it easy
00:50:34for him on the mound
00:50:35but they still get the
00:50:37strikeout
00:50:37well needed a big strikeout
00:50:38to get out of danger
00:50:39turned to the deception
00:50:40of that changeup
00:50:41great execution

00:51:39knocks that one away
00:51:40and we'll do it again
00:51:41you can see
00:51:42he was trying to stay back
00:51:43long enough to handle
00:51:44the off-speed pitch
00:51:45but just a little
00:51:46tardy on the fastball
00:51:50and he'll choose
00:51:51that one inside
00:51:53look out
00:52:03fouls it off
00:52:04still one and two
00:52:17ball he's having a tough
00:52:18time getting a pitch
00:52:19by him as a hitter
00:52:20you feel pretty confident
00:52:21that you're seeing
00:52:22different pitches
00:52:23still able to make
00:52:24some type of contact
00:52:25on the ground
00:52:27nice play

00:52:31nicely done
00:52:32great reaction there
00:52:34to get to the baseball
00:52:35secure it
00:52:36and then no time

00:52:38close
00:52:44one knee
00:52:45that's a guy
00:52:46that's got a lot of
00:52:47confidence in his
00:52:47arm strength
00:52:48and accuracy
00:52:5380
00:53:03here's your one
00:53:05swing and a ball
00:53:06popped up
00:53:07mcmahon under it
00:53:10two down

00:53:44and that one
00:53:46fouled off
00:53:51two down
00:53:51nobody on
00:53:52and we're in the
00:53:53top of the eighth
00:53:57ground ball
00:53:58right side
00:54:00he takes it himself
00:54:01to the bag
00:54:02and that'll do it
00:54:04nothing doing for
00:54:05Tampa
00:54:05as they hold on
00:54:06down to a 5-4 lead
00:54:13now
00:54:14back now
00:54:14new pitcher on the
00:54:15mound as we roll
00:54:16into the bottom of the
00:54:17eighth
00:54:17Craig Kimbrell
00:54:18well he's been an
00:54:20absolute workhorse out of
00:54:21the pen all season long
00:54:22this is the 70th
00:54:24appearance for him this
00:54:25year
00:54:25and that says a lot
00:54:27about how much they
00:54:27trust handing the ball
00:54:28over to him
00:54:29and there's a base hit
00:54:30and the tying run
00:54:32is on base
00:54:33having himself a really
00:54:34nice game at the plate
00:54:35pretty much a model
00:54:37swing on that one
00:54:38as he ripped it into
00:54:38the opposite field gap
00:54:39and I'm sure he's
00:54:41going to be watching
00:54:41that one back on video
00:54:42because that's the
00:54:43kind of swing you
00:54:44want to bottle
00:54:44so many positives
00:54:45that led to that
00:54:46inside
00:54:46rice
00:54:47the next to hit
00:54:48takes ball one
00:54:58that's ripped into the
00:54:59outfield
00:55:00and that's got extra
00:55:02bases written all over
00:55:03it
00:55:03here comes Wells
00:55:06around third
00:55:08he'll score
00:55:09all tight again
00:55:105-5
00:55:12such great
00:55:13concentration
00:55:14everybody on their
00:55:16feet
00:55:16knowing that you
00:55:17can come through
00:55:18with a good swing
00:55:19and there he doesn't
00:55:21try to do too much
00:55:25first offering
00:55:26way inside
00:55:27almost got him
00:55:39man it's second
00:55:42yep that ball went out
00:55:49that one's in there
00:55:50and a count now
00:55:51even up
00:55:55keeps the effect
00:55:56going with a foul ball
00:55:57really great change of
00:55:59speeds he goes off the
00:56:01off speed to the fastball
00:56:02and the hitter doesn't
00:56:03know what's coming next
00:56:04to the right side
00:56:06base hit into the
00:56:07outfield
00:56:08and it gets by him
00:56:09the run
00:56:10scores from second
00:56:12they lead it in the eighth
00:56:13and he's gonna get to second
00:56:15with nobody out
00:56:16a perfect example
00:56:18right there
00:56:18that plate discipline
00:56:19it pays off
00:56:21the deeper he gets
00:56:22into account
00:56:23the more comfortable
00:56:24he becomes
00:56:25and he usually wins
00:56:26the battle
00:56:26here comes Cody
00:56:29Bellinger
00:56:30swing and a ball
00:56:31driven out to center
00:56:32that one carrying
00:56:34got it
00:56:35nice grab
00:56:36tags up from second
00:56:37and he'll head to third
00:56:39Lofi flag around third
00:56:41and headed home
00:56:42and they lead by two
00:56:43wow pretty amazing
00:56:45that only ended up
00:56:46being a sack fly
00:56:47so much excitement
00:56:48and a great effort
00:56:50out there
00:56:50to take on the wall
00:56:51as he called it in
00:56:52for the batter
00:56:54could have easily
00:56:55been a double
00:56:55or even a triple
00:56:56but you know what
00:56:57he'll take the sack fly
00:56:58RBI
00:57:04back and forth
00:57:05we go
00:57:05a seesaw battle
00:57:07in the late stages
00:57:08of this one
00:57:09Kim
00:57:11throws the first
00:57:12in time
00:57:14up next
00:57:15for the Yankees
00:57:16the center fielder
00:57:18number 12
00:57:19Chris
00:57:20so back to the top
00:57:22of the order
00:57:22now it's
00:57:23Trent Crisham

00:57:26this to third
00:57:29zips it across

00:57:34and jump ahead late
00:57:36ninth inning
00:57:37coming up
00:57:37the Yankees
00:57:55we're back
00:57:56and on the mound
00:57:57is the closer
00:57:57Dennis Santana
00:57:59well he's the guy
00:58:00they hope to turn to
00:58:01out of the pen
00:58:02to lock down win
00:58:02so this game
00:58:03has gone to plan
00:58:04more or less
00:58:05let's see if he can
00:58:06wrap it up here
00:58:09it's so important
00:58:10to get ahead
00:58:11of these hitters
00:58:11you don't want to
00:58:12issue a free pass
00:58:13and allow that
00:58:13tying run
00:58:14to come to the plate
00:58:15I always want to
00:58:15keep that other team
00:58:16in a position
00:58:17where if they're
00:58:17going to beat you
00:58:18they're going to
00:58:18have to do it
00:58:19with multiple hits
00:58:21next offering
00:58:22is fouled back
00:58:34popped up
00:58:36McMahon
00:58:39and there's one away
00:59:01hammer down the right
00:59:02side but foul
00:59:11the 0-1
00:59:13there's a strike
00:59:1495 of that one
00:59:17the Yanks
00:59:18trying to close out
00:59:19a two-run lead
00:59:20near the top
00:59:21of the dime
00:59:25sets him down
00:59:26looking
00:59:27down to the last
00:59:28out for the
00:59:29race
00:59:32back to the top
00:59:33of the order
00:59:33here's the left
00:59:34fielder
00:59:35Chandler Simpson
00:59:44ripped into right
00:59:45field
00:59:46base hit
00:59:47and that'll bring
00:59:48the tying run
00:59:49to the plate
00:59:50just a solid
00:59:52swing right there
00:59:52caught it out front
00:59:53and ripped it into
00:59:54the outfield
00:59:55for the base hit
00:59:56and those always
00:59:57feel great
00:59:57and now let's see
00:59:58if they force some
00:59:59action with good
01:00:00wheels on the
01:00:00bases
01:00:12run around the
01:00:13move
01:00:13strike in there
01:00:16throw to second
01:00:17out of bounds
01:00:18safe
01:00:18and that's another
01:00:20stolen base
01:00:21for the league
01:00:22leader
01:00:22two outs is a
01:00:23great time to
01:00:24try to steal second
01:00:25especially when you
01:00:25have a guy with
01:00:26some wheels on
01:00:27first
01:00:27defense probably
01:00:28knew it was
01:00:28coming but
01:00:29figured we better
01:00:30focus on trying
01:00:31to get this
01:00:31hitter out
01:00:33and that's off
01:00:34the inside edge
01:00:36and that's ball
01:00:37two
01:00:42they're down
01:00:43to their final
01:00:43strike
01:00:53the tying run
01:00:54one at the plate
01:00:56line and that's a base
01:00:57hit
01:00:58round third headed
01:00:59for the plate
01:01:00he'll score easily
01:01:01it's an RBI single
01:01:04and now they trail
01:01:05by one
01:01:07well back within one
01:01:09as he brings home the
01:01:10run
01:01:10showed a willingness to
01:01:12drive that pitch the
01:01:13opposite way
01:01:13didn't get jumpy
01:01:14didn't try to pull the
01:01:15ball
01:01:16he let it get deep
01:01:17took the barrel right
01:01:18to it
01:01:19and then extended
01:01:19through the swing
01:01:20for the line drive
01:01:21base hit
01:01:21now here is
01:01:23Junior Caminero
01:01:24though in this
01:01:25situation the hitter
01:01:26knows that he's got to
01:01:27find a pitch that he
01:01:28can drive in order to
01:01:29drive in that tying run
01:01:30all the way from first
01:01:31base so
01:01:33if he can't do that
01:01:34keep the line moving
01:01:35the wall or just a
01:01:36base hit
01:01:37but you've got to stay
01:01:38within yourself
01:01:46swing and a bouncer
01:01:47towards third
01:01:49throw to first
01:01:50ball game
01:01:51and the Yankees
01:01:53salvage the finale
01:01:54of this three game
01:01:55series
01:01:55well I'd say we got
01:01:56treated to a good one
01:01:57you gotta love a game
01:01:58when you get 13 runs
01:02:00on the board
01:02:00a lot of offense
01:02:01but it doesn't end
01:02:02in a blowout
01:02:03tons of really good
01:02:04at bats to look back
01:02:05on in this one
