00:00:00It is make money, feed the kids, ain't nothing in the fridge.
00:00:03Wake up, repeat the sins.
00:00:05A lot of how it'll go.
00:00:08And if you had to try...
00:00:14Hello and welcome.
00:00:15Thanks for joining us.
00:00:16An AOS matchup on the show.
00:00:19It's the Seattle Mariners going up against the Oakland Athletics.
00:00:23John Shambi and Chris Singleton on the call.
00:00:26And we got a rubber match on our hands today, partner.
00:00:28Yeah, the final game of a three game set, they've split the first two.
00:00:32And regardless of how important the series is within the larger picture
00:00:36of the season, it's a game you want to get up for.
00:00:39Every series win feels good.
00:00:41So we should see a fun matchup in this one.
00:00:43All right. We'll be back to get this one started after this.
00:00:49Just about set and on the mound for Oakland in this one.
00:00:53Lefty Grove singing he is one of the best to ever do it.
00:00:57True legend in this game with over 300 career wins.
00:01:00Always a joy to watch him go to work.
00:01:03It's effortless out there.
00:01:05Doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve.
00:01:06Doesn't know when he's high or when he's low.
00:01:09Ichiro Suzuki.
00:01:12Suzuki having a really nice first season in the big leagues.
00:01:16Definitely a rookie of the year candidate.
00:01:23But why the kick the pitch?
00:01:27Misses off the inside and we're underway here this afternoon.
00:01:36First pitch, well, 37 left hand batter weights.
00:01:44That's a strike across the top of the zone.
00:01:46Well, we call that keyhole.
00:01:48Even though it's right there and looks pretty good, if he doesn't love it,
00:01:52he's not going to swing that early in the count.
00:01:54Next offering is in for a strike.
00:01:56That was absolute gas, triple digits on the gun.
00:01:59It's just a different experience as a hitter watching that go by.
00:02:04And a swing and a miss and one gone.
00:02:07Very frustrating right there as a speedy potential base runner
00:02:11when with two strikes, you just struggle to put the ball in play.
00:02:15You don't even have to get a hit at that point.
00:02:16You can help your team just by reaching on an error.
00:02:20But some way you got to find a way to shorten up the swing
00:02:22and put the ball in play next time.
00:02:24Next to hit Mike Cameron.
00:02:28First pitch and that's in for a strike.
00:02:38No score, just getting started top of the first.
00:02:47And the next pitch is way outside.
00:02:50One down, base is empty.
00:02:55In there for a strike at the bottom of the zone.
00:02:58Good zip on that fastball at the bottom of the zone.
00:03:00If he's there all day, it's going to be a tough one for the hitters.
00:03:05Up the middle.
00:03:08Throw over to Fox.
00:03:09Nice, efficient start to the afternoon.
00:03:12That's two out.
00:03:13And now we check out the Mariners lineup.
00:03:16One guy, one strike.
00:03:17And now we check out the Mariners lineup.
00:03:19One guy swinging a hot bat recently, Mike Cameron.
00:03:22Boom, this is one of those guys you want at the plate
00:03:24in those big game-defining moments.
00:03:26I mean, he's such a consistent hitter.
00:03:28You've got to love watching him in those situations.
00:03:30Hopefully, we'll get a chance to see that in this one.
00:03:34Two out, space is empty.
00:03:36And now for Seattle, Ken Griffey Jr.
00:03:39I think when you contemplate him as a player,
00:03:41the first thing you think about is defense
00:03:43and you think about that great arm.
00:03:45You think about the speed.
00:03:46If he can get on, that's going to give one more thing
00:03:48for that pitcher to think about.
00:03:57Griffey was an instant sensation
00:03:59when he burst onto the Major League scene back in 1989.
00:04:02A sweet-swinging 19-year-old kid
00:04:05that he got to play alongside his dad.
00:04:07He was a special player.
00:04:10And there's a fly ball.
00:04:12Deep right field.
00:04:14And outta here!
00:04:40When a guy's got a real hard fastball,
00:04:42you can't over-swing.
00:04:44All you've got to do is get the bat-head to the spot.
00:04:46If you do, he supplies the power
00:04:48and you'll get to jog around the bases
00:04:50like he did right there.
00:04:52So, two down now.
00:04:54And here is Edgar Martinez.
00:04:56The third baseman, Edgar Martinez.
00:05:00Out towards right center field.
00:05:02Jackson settles under this one.
00:05:05Squeezes it in.
00:05:07Settles under this one.
00:05:09Squeezes it.
00:05:10And that will end the inning.
00:05:12The Mariners pick up a run thanks to this solo homer.
00:05:15It's now 1-0.
00:05:24Bottom of the first.
00:05:26And starting in this one, Randy Johnson.
00:05:28Singing the numbers he's racked up in his career
00:05:30are almost unprecedented.
00:05:33Over 5,000 strikeouts.
00:05:35And I think it's in the head of his opponents.
00:05:37It's almost like guys expect a strikeout.
00:05:39Can't wait to watch his electric stuff in this one.
00:05:42Ricky Henderson getting ready to hit.
00:05:45Henderson comes in fifth in the American League
00:05:48in batting average.
00:05:50Ricky Henderson.
00:06:01The pitch.
00:06:05Strike one.
00:06:08Come on.
00:06:09One strike.
00:06:20That one ripped.
00:06:22That's bat.
00:06:25Pulls it in on the warning track.
00:06:32Batting second.
00:06:33All right, let's take a look at the lineup.
00:06:35Someone who makes things happen for them
00:06:37in part with his legs.
00:06:39Home run baker.
00:06:40No, Boog, not just the fans,
00:06:42not just the people watching this game,
00:06:44but us.
00:06:45I mean, we're pretty fired up
00:06:46to watch this guy swing the bat.
00:06:48He's got big time pop this season.
00:06:50Slugging percentage over 500.
00:06:52Outfielders, put your track shoes on
00:06:54because you're going to be running in the gaps
00:06:56trying to climb the wall.
00:06:57This guy is going to do damage
00:06:59when he gets the bat to the baseball.
00:07:01Don't take your eyes off of him.
00:07:03Mickey McCann.
00:07:05Watches that one for a strike.
00:07:07Standing in here with one down.
00:07:15And he'll won.
00:07:20Out there on the mound,
00:07:21he's setting the tone early with the fastball.
00:07:2398 miles per hour up on the scoreboard.
00:07:32Here's the 0-2.
00:07:36That one is absolutely belted.
00:07:38That's back.
00:07:40Makes the catch up against the wall.
00:07:45Batting third,
00:07:46the first baseman, Jimmy.
00:07:49Jimmy Fox will hit next.
00:08:02That one's in there, 0-1.
00:08:11Inside, and it hit him.
00:08:13Any time one of your guys gets drilled,
00:08:15it catches everyone's attention in the dugout.
00:08:17And you know what?
00:08:18It kind of gets you fired up.
00:08:20Now it's the power-speed combo.
00:08:22Reggie Jackson.
00:08:23Three for nine in the series coming in.
00:08:26And that's in there for strike one.
00:08:30Fox, off of first with two away.
00:08:38Next offering is in for a strike.
00:08:41Perhaps not quite ready to hit.
00:08:43First two pitches by him for a couple of strikes.
00:08:46Now back is against the wall.
00:08:48He's going to have to figure something out
00:08:50and figure it out quickly.
00:08:52Fox, off of first with two away.
00:08:55Now back is against the wall.
00:08:57He's going to have to figure something out
00:08:59and figure it out quickly.
00:09:01Swing and a miss, and he got him.
00:09:03Third out.
00:09:05We move to inning number two from Scheib Park.
00:09:08It's the Mariners' one and the A's nothing.
00:09:15Stepping in, the slugging shortstop,
00:09:17Alex Rodriguez.
00:09:19There you see his May and June numbers so far.
00:09:22Rodriguez.
00:09:26Grove, back to work.
00:09:34He swings and misses at the first pitch.
00:09:360 and 1.
00:09:50And he deals.
00:09:55Up the middle, Collins picks it up onto first
00:09:59and quickly one away in the second.
00:10:08Here's the veteran outfielder, Jay Buhner.
00:10:11Four for seven in the series, so he's been good.
00:10:15Swing and a miss.
00:10:23First pitch doesn't find the zone.
00:10:30The big lefty turns, kicks, deals.
00:10:34And now 2 and nothing.
00:10:36That's where you want it. It's a good miss.
00:10:38Clyde Washington with home plate duties in this one.
00:10:40Little bit of a low zone boob from Clyde.
00:10:42Nothing crazy, though.
00:10:43Pitchers that work consistently down around the knees
00:10:46and are able to command their off-speed stuff
00:10:48tend to have some pretty good success with him
00:10:50back there behind the plate.
00:10:55Next pitch misses way outside.
00:10:57Fans don't really understand the familiarity
00:11:00and relationship players and coaches have with umpires.
00:11:02I mean, you see these guys a lot.
00:11:04Yeah, Boog, these guys are all out there
00:11:06trying to do their best and perform at a high level.
00:11:09So when you respect that, I think over time
00:11:13you can develop a relationship with some of these guys.
00:11:15I don't think he really wanted the pitch to him right there anyhow.
00:11:18And up next for Seattle, Tino Martinez.
00:11:26First pitch just misses.
00:11:40And that's in for a strike.
00:11:42If he doesn't get a knock right here,
00:11:44that pitch he just took is going to eat at him for a while.
00:11:47You might not see another pitch like that
00:11:49from a top-level guy like this.
00:11:59Next offering is fouled back.
00:12:10Next one misses.
00:12:12Two and two.
00:12:14See how the catcher wanted that pitch up and in.
00:12:16Wanted to try to tie him up.
00:12:18That's the one thing we're seeing.
00:12:20That high fastball, you have to get it up there
00:12:22because of how hitters have changed their swings.
00:12:26Kicks and deals.
00:12:28Good eye right there.
00:12:31So now three and two.
00:12:33Fouled off again.
00:12:35And it remains three and two.
00:12:38So now three and two.
00:12:40Fouled off again.
00:12:42And it remains three and two.
00:12:53The pitch.
00:12:55Swing, and that ball smashed on a line.
00:12:58Jack Daniels.
00:13:00And that's a strike.
00:13:02The pitch.
00:13:04Swing, and that ball smashed on a line.
00:13:07Jackson makes the grab.
00:13:09That's out number two.
00:13:24Number 29 up next for the Mariners.
00:13:33First pitch.
00:13:35And he just misses.
00:13:37Is there a little wrinkle to that?
00:13:39I think there was.
00:13:41Yep.
00:13:43A little slider action.
00:13:51The lefty to 1-0.
00:13:53That one missed.
00:13:562-0.
00:13:58Right through there for a strike.
00:14:09Tried to get him to chase on the changeup that time.
00:14:13Tried to get him to chase on the changeup that time.
00:14:27Two outs.
00:14:29Liner caught at second.
00:14:31Mariners leave one.
00:14:33But they're on top 1-0.
00:14:42Here at ShyPark.
00:14:44And now Mark McGuire.
00:14:46Leading off for the A's.
00:14:48The dedicated hitter.
00:14:50Mark McGuire.
00:15:02And the pitch.
00:15:06And the pitch.
00:15:08And the pitch.
00:15:11Off the plate.
00:15:13Ball one.
00:15:17The pitch.
00:15:21So two balls and no strikes.
00:15:23Tried to backdoor him with that slider right there.
00:15:25But just missed off the plate.
00:15:27Good pitch though.
00:15:29Swing and a ground ball out to short.
00:15:33Lead off and retired here in the second.
00:15:36Batting sixth.
00:15:38The Southern Fielder.
00:15:40Al Simmons.
00:15:42So digging in.
00:15:44Al Simmons.
00:15:56First offering.
00:15:58Misses the mark.
00:16:00He never moved.
00:16:02Because he never had time to.
00:16:04With that kind of velocity.
00:16:06You'd prefer that pitcher work away.
00:16:12Next pitch misses.
00:16:142-0.
00:16:16Way to lay off that fastball up right there.
00:16:18You're looking for something you see well.
00:16:20That you can handle.
00:16:22But you also have to keep the discipline.
00:16:24So that you're not popping up pitches.
00:16:26That are just a little too high.
00:16:28Swing and a miss.
00:16:30Strike one.
00:16:32The pitch.
00:16:36That one is upstairs.
00:16:46And here it comes.
00:16:50And it's filled up.
00:16:52It normally does damage on that pitch.
00:16:54In that location.
00:16:56Just a swing and a miss there.
00:16:58I don't think you want to throw it again though.
00:17:00Kicks and fires.
00:17:02Got him.
00:17:04That's out number two.
00:17:06He came out of his mechanics there.
00:17:08Typically likes to shoot the ball the other way.
00:17:10But that time.
00:17:12A little anxious.
00:17:18Two out. Space is empty.
00:17:20And now.
00:17:22Home run Baker.
00:17:24Good power.
00:17:26Not great in the OBP department.
00:17:30Here's the 0-1.
00:17:36Now a 1-1.
00:17:38Here's a 1-1.
00:17:44Outside.
00:18:00Out.
00:18:04Lifted in the air.
00:18:06Right center field.
00:18:10Junior makes the catch.
00:18:12And that'll do it.
00:18:14And the A's are gone in order.
00:18:16Still behind by a count of 1-0.
00:18:24Back here in Philadelphia.
00:18:26And here's the rookie catcher.
00:18:28Number two.
00:18:30This is a guy who is very highly regarded defensively.
00:18:32Fun to watch him.
00:18:34Control stuff behind the plate.
00:18:36Good game caller.
00:18:38Good at framing.
00:18:40But it's that big arm that really stands out.
00:18:42Grove. Back to work.
00:18:46And there's the strike.
00:18:48And because he's got the big arm.
00:18:50He pays attention to the running game.
00:18:52And is sure to manage it.
00:18:550-2 as he waves at that one.
00:19:07Here comes a pitch.
00:19:12And down on strikes.
00:19:141-out.
00:19:20Ichiro Suzuki.
00:19:22He's got pop.
00:19:24Which is a little sneaky because
00:19:26he's so comfortable with taking
00:19:28his base hits to the opposite field.
00:19:30But he can jump you if you make a mistake.
00:19:38Next offering is down low.
00:19:40And that's ball one.
00:19:42When you have a catcher that can throw like that.
00:19:44A pitcher doesn't have to worry
00:19:46as much about the slide step.
00:19:48He can keep his mechanics intact.
00:19:50And have a better opportunity
00:19:52of getting that hitter out with a swing and miss.
00:19:58Swing and a miss.
00:20:00And a count one and one.
00:20:08That clips the inside corner
00:20:10for a strike.
00:20:141-2 now.
00:20:20Swing and a miss. Struck him out.
00:20:22First two batters retired here
00:20:24in the top of the third.
00:20:26Really expanded the zone right there
00:20:28with that fastball off the outside corner.
00:20:30Got him to chase it.
00:20:32That's a tough one to lay off of because
00:20:34it starts close to you and just continues
00:20:36to run away from you in that batter's box.
00:20:38So it's a really nice pitch with two strikes.
00:20:40Mike Cameron.
00:20:42Up next for the Mariners.
00:20:44A guy who makes an impact not just
00:20:46at the plate but also in the field.
00:20:48And first offering is fouled off.
00:21:02And a pitch.
00:21:18And a count one and two.
00:21:20It looked like that curveball backed up on him.
00:21:22And although it's a mistake it works out
00:21:24really good for the pitcher. The hitter's timed it up
00:21:26expects it to be to a certain spot
00:21:28and it just doesn't get there.
00:21:32Next offering is fouled back.
00:21:421-2 now.
00:21:44Tap softly to the right side.
00:21:46Tosses to the pitcher covering the bag.
00:21:48And the Mariners set down 1-2-3.
00:21:50Mariners go down quietly there
00:21:52but they still lead it 1-0.
00:22:04Set for the bottom of the third.
00:22:06Digging in for Oakland.
00:22:08Eddie Collins.
00:22:10The second baseman.
00:22:12The second baseman.
00:22:14Eddie Collins.
00:22:16The wind of the pitch.
00:22:20There's the strike.
00:22:26And now the lefty.
00:22:28And now the count is even.
00:22:30Well he's so great
00:22:32about hitting the ball the other way.
00:22:34He gets those arms extended so right there
00:22:36just trying to straighten him up a little bit
00:22:38so he doesn't have as much
00:22:40inside plate coverage.
00:22:50Falls it in
00:22:52and there's one away.
00:22:56Not a shot.
00:22:58Not shortstop.
00:23:00There it is.
00:23:04Next up for the A's.
00:23:10In there
00:23:12and it's 0-1.
00:23:18The pitch.
00:23:22Swing and a miss.
00:23:2498 on the gun.
00:23:32And a foul ball.
00:23:34He stays alive.
00:23:360-2 now.
00:23:40Swings through that one.
00:23:42It's a strikeout.
00:23:44Two out.
00:23:46Well I've always said it's tough.
00:23:48An elevated fastball you see so well.
00:23:50Hard to lay off of.
00:23:52Well when you're talking about 100 miles per hour
00:23:54chances of catching up
00:23:56are next to none.
00:23:58So you see that when you're talking about
00:24:00catching up.
00:24:02It's tough.
00:24:04Next to none.
00:24:06So you see that one just blown right by him.
00:24:08I think you're going to have to start a lot earlier
00:24:10if you're going to catch up to that speed.
00:24:12Now here is Ricky Henderson.
00:24:14In there for strike one.
00:24:16And if there's one man you want to keep off the base paths
00:24:18it's this guy right here
00:24:20Ricky Henderson.
00:24:22The undisputed stolen base king.
00:24:260-1.
00:24:30Hard hit. Right side.
00:24:32Takes it himself.
00:24:34That's the third out.
00:24:36A's go quickly
00:24:38and quietly there.
00:24:40They trail here. 1-0.
00:24:50And welcome back.
00:24:52John Chompy with Chris Singleton
00:24:54and set to lead off the fourth
00:24:56Ken Griffey Jr.
00:25:02The wind and the pitch.
00:25:10The wind and the pitch.
00:25:16That one missing inside.
00:25:18And Singley Ricky's 1,406
00:25:20career steals is a record
00:25:22that may stand forever.
00:25:24The active leader in career steals
00:25:26isn't even a quarter of the way to that number.
00:25:32He's in for a strike.
00:25:42Good eye right there.
00:25:44And with the extreme crouch of that batting stance
00:25:46Ricky made pitchers work.
00:25:48His strike zone was as small as it gets.
00:25:50He's looking to get on base any way he can
00:25:52because he knows a single is a triple.
00:25:582-1.
00:26:00The pitch is in there and the count is even.
00:26:08The big lefty turns, kicks, steals.
00:26:12Just inside.
00:26:14And now it is filled up.
00:26:30Well I've noticed they've been
00:26:32pitching him hard inside
00:26:34and the key is if you're going to make a mistake
00:26:36you've got to make it off the dish.
00:26:38If it leaks out over the plate with this kind of power
00:26:40you'll be asking for a new baseball.
00:26:42Left hand hitter waits.
00:26:46Stays alive.
00:27:00The punch out there
00:27:02and one gone in the fourth
00:27:04as they get the leadoff man.
00:27:06Came inside with that two strike fastball nicely
00:27:08and just bunched him up on the inside part of the plate.
00:27:10Couldn't get around on it
00:27:12and catch it out front.
00:27:14Many times if you do it's a foul ball
00:27:16and you know a lot of pitchers they really don't like
00:27:18working inside with two strikes because
00:27:20they do not want to hit that batter
00:27:22and when they've got him up against the ropes
00:27:24got to figure out a way to put him away.
00:27:26Did a nice job right there.
00:27:28Next to hit takes ball one.
00:27:42And he swings
00:27:44and lifts one to deep center field.
00:27:46That's back there.
00:27:48Pulls it in on the warning track.
00:27:54The batter number three
00:27:56shortstop Alex Rodriguez.
00:28:00Two outs. Base is empty.
00:28:02And stepping in for the Mariners
00:28:04Alex Rodriguez.
00:28:12Swings through
00:28:14that one. 0-1.
00:28:16Pitching well but not throwing a ton of
00:28:18first pitch strikes. Usually
00:28:20doesn't work out for success but
00:28:22you can never predict baseball.
00:28:24The next offering misses
00:28:26and the count is 1-1.
00:28:30And the pitch.
00:28:34Swing
00:28:36and a miss and he waves at that one.
00:28:38The guy's going this good. He's retired
00:28:40seven in a row. He's got to step out of the box
00:28:42fake bunt, do something
00:28:44to break it up. Next offering
00:28:46is downstairs.
00:28:54Swing.
00:29:00And now the count
00:29:02filled up 3-2.
00:29:16Well struck.
00:29:18Right field.
00:29:20And it's gone!
00:29:24Crowd cheering.
00:29:42Knew what pitch he wanted
00:29:44to hit. Spent on some other pitches
00:29:46in this. It bad. Was very patient.
00:29:48And it paid off.
00:29:50Crowd cheering.
00:29:54Crowd cheering.
00:30:00Now batting. Left fielder
00:30:02Jay Uden.
00:30:04And first offering is fouled off.
00:30:18Two down. Nobody on.
00:30:20In
00:30:22for a strike. 0-2.
00:30:28And he deals.
00:30:32And now 1-2.
00:30:42Swing and a
00:30:44miss. Struck him out.
00:30:46And that is that.
00:30:48Solo blast adds to the Seattle
00:30:50lead. It's now a 2-0
00:30:52ballgame.
00:31:02Welcome back. Now the number two hitter.
00:31:04Number two.
00:31:06The catcher.
00:31:10And a pitch.
00:31:14Just missed.
00:31:19The pitch.
00:31:23Just missed.
00:31:25When you get ahead in the count, there's no doubt
00:31:27that the success rate goes up.
00:31:29And that's what he's been doing. It's made a big
00:31:31impact for him in recent games.
00:31:35Swing and a miss.
00:31:37And that is strike one.
00:31:49Crowd cheering.
00:31:55Swings and misses
00:31:57at the pitch off the plate.
00:31:59Man, that was pretty gross right there.
00:32:012-2.
00:32:05Popped up.
00:32:07Rodriguez under this one.
00:32:09And he makes the catch.
00:32:111-1 down.
00:32:15Now batting. The first baseman
00:32:18Jimmy Fox.
00:32:20Here's a big power threat.
00:32:22Jimmy Fox leading the AL
00:32:24in batting average.
00:32:35Next pitch downstairs.
00:32:37And that's ball one.
00:32:41And here it comes.
00:32:44And it's even up.
00:32:47The A's hit list so far in the game.
00:32:54Next offering is in
00:32:56for a strike. Establishing both
00:32:58ends of the zone is critical. Most times
00:33:00guys are wanting to get hitters out down.
00:33:02But if you can get them to look up, get a called strike,
00:33:04that's going to make that strike zone a lot bigger.
00:33:06Next offering misses.
00:33:08And the count's even at two.
00:33:11And now it's filled up.
00:33:233-2.
00:33:27Swings and misses.
00:33:29Two down.
00:33:35So up next, Reggie Jackson.
00:33:37So up next, Reggie Jackson.
00:33:39Struck out swinging his first time.
00:33:49That one's in there. 0-1.
00:33:51Man, 91 on the slider
00:33:53right there. That's a hard one.
00:33:55That's a low end fastball for some guys.
00:34:00Left hand batter waits.
00:34:03Swing and a miss.
00:34:05Swing and a miss. No balls, two strikes.
00:34:17And ball one.
00:34:19I don't think he was trying to miss by that much
00:34:21in a 0-2 count. Just tried to overthrow that pitch.
00:34:36And a foul ball. He stays alive.
00:34:45The pitch.
00:34:49Now this is in the air down the line.
00:34:53Buhner makes the catch.
00:34:55And that'll do it.
00:34:57Nothing doing there for the A's.
00:34:59They trail it here, 2-0.
00:35:05All set for the start of the inning.
00:35:07And here's the first baseman,
00:35:09Tino Martinez.
00:35:11The first baseman,
00:35:13Tino Martinez.
00:35:21The wind of the pitch.
00:35:25And there's a ball.
00:35:29And there's a strike.
00:35:31And there's a ball.
00:35:43And the pitch.
00:35:47Just missed.
00:35:55The wide kick to pitch.
00:35:58And a foul ball.
00:36:00Makes the count 2-1.
00:36:07Kick, San Dios.
00:36:11And a foul ball.
00:36:27Stays alive.
00:36:42And that one is lifted in the air.
00:36:46And that will fall.
00:36:48So a runner aboard to start the inning.
00:36:51Now batting.
00:36:53Number 29 up next for the Mariners.
00:36:59And that's in there for strike one.
00:37:10Martinez gets his lead at first.
00:37:12Nobody out.
00:37:15Next pitch misses inside.
00:37:17And the count even 1-1.
00:37:23At the belt and fires.
00:37:25Swings through that one.
00:37:33And the pitch.
00:37:35In the air.
00:37:37Left field.
00:37:39Down the line.
00:37:41And that one gets down.
00:37:44Fair ball.
00:37:46Lead runner holds up.
00:37:48They're at first and second with nobody out.
00:37:50That's back-to-back singles for him.
00:37:52Hooked around that pitch on the outside.
00:37:54But he was still able to square it up pretty nicely.
00:37:56And that takes quick, strong wrist to pull that off.
00:37:58And here's the catcher.
00:38:00Number 2.
00:38:06First pitch.
00:38:08And that's in for a strike.
00:38:14And that's a strike.
00:38:24And now the lefty.
00:38:26On the ground right side.
00:38:284-6-3.
00:38:30And they turn the double play.
00:38:44Back to the top of the Seattle order.
00:38:46Next to hit.
00:38:48Ichiro.
00:38:58First offering.
00:39:00And it just misses.
00:39:10They say it went.
00:39:12They say it went.
00:39:24The pitch.
00:39:26Good eye on that spot.
00:39:29Two outs with a runner at third.
00:39:38Ground ball up the middle.
00:39:40That's a base hit as a run scores.
00:39:46Well, here we are.
00:39:48Third time through the order.
00:39:50And this is where we see the OPS jump up.
00:39:52Manager might have to go to the bullpen a little bit sooner than he anticipated.
00:40:00Mike Cameron.
00:40:02The next to hit.
00:40:04Good contact guy.
00:40:06Good defender.
00:40:08The tag.
00:40:10And that's out number three inning over.
00:40:12But they pick up one run on the RBI single.
00:40:15It's now 3-0.
00:40:29We head to the bottom of the fifth.
00:40:31Here's Oakland's D.H. Mark McGuire.
00:40:34The Athletics in striking distance, but have some work to do.
00:40:38Boog, it starts with the leadoff man.
00:40:40Need a good at bat out of him right here.
00:40:45A wind in the pitch.
00:40:48And a strike in there.
00:40:50In an 0-0 count, not every strike is a good strike for a hitter.
00:40:54I like the play discipline there.
00:41:05The pitch.
00:41:22And now it's even up.
00:41:28Here comes the pitch.
00:41:31And down on strikes he goes.
00:41:34And that's the first out.
00:41:36Well, that splitter out of the hand, it just sort of jumps on you.
00:41:39And your interpretation is here comes a fastball again.
00:41:42Well, it never really reaches because the bottom falls out of it and you swing over the top.
00:41:46And that's why they call it a split-finger fastball.
00:41:49Because it looks like a four-seamer.
00:41:53Al Simmons up next for the A's.
00:42:01First offering misses badly for ball one.
00:42:14And the pitch.
00:42:18Foul ball there.
00:42:27The wind in the pitch.
00:42:31This one popped up. Foul ground first base side.
00:42:34Pulls it down and there's two gone.
00:42:37Boy, that was a hanging breaking ball right there.
00:42:40I think he tried to do a little bit too much.
00:42:42Sometimes those eyes can get really big.
00:42:44I think his swing broke down as well and that's what caused him to pop it up.
00:42:48Two outs, base is empty.
00:42:50Striding to the plate now for Oakland, home run Baker.
00:42:54He's a guy who does it all.
00:42:57And the first pitch misses for ball one.
00:43:01Well, on the mound, very efficient.
00:43:03Able to produce an outcome it seems like within the third or fourth pitch of just about every at-bat.
00:43:09Two outs.
00:43:12And that's outside.
00:43:14Pretty easy to give up on that pitch right there.
00:43:16Started on the edge of the plate with the spin.
00:43:19You know it's going to finish well off the plate.
00:43:27Kicks and fires.
00:43:31Swings and misses.
00:43:33And a count two and one.
00:43:45And now two and two.
00:43:47Now this offense has just been locked down.
00:43:49Almost five full innings of shutout baseball.
00:43:52Left hand hitter waits.
00:43:57Up the middle.
00:43:58That's a base hit.
00:44:00And that keeps the inning alive.
00:44:04Just kept it simple.
00:44:05Played pepper with the middle of the infield and took it back where it came from.
00:44:09And there's just no one there to knock it down.
00:44:11And now they've got some speed on first.
00:44:13So we'll see if they try to get him into motion.
00:44:15Digging in for Oakland, Eddie Collins.
00:44:180 for 1 so far.
00:44:21In there and it's 0 and 1.
00:44:27The pitch.
00:44:28Way high.
00:44:29Good speed on the base pass.
00:44:31He handles the bat very well.
00:44:33I wouldn't be surprised if the skipper puts on some type of hit and run or run and hit.
00:44:39Way high.
00:44:40Good speed on the base pass.
00:44:41He handles the bat very well.
00:44:44I wouldn't be surprised if the skipper puts on some type of hit and run or run and hit.
00:44:591-1 now.
00:45:001-1 now.
00:45:07Baker.
00:45:08The runner at first with two gone.
00:45:14The kick and the pitch.
00:45:16Runner goes.
00:45:17It's in the dirt and throws.
00:45:19Save.
00:45:20That's a stolen base.
00:45:21Well, it really doesn't matter what the situation is.
00:45:24When a guy like this gets on first, you know he's going to steal second at some point during the at-bat.
00:45:29Nice job to get in the scoring position.
00:45:31The defense probably knew it was coming, but they just couldn't do anything to stop it.
00:45:37And a 2-2.
00:45:40And a foul ball.
00:45:41He stays alive.
00:45:47Runner at second.
00:45:48Two down.
00:45:56Got him.
00:45:57And that is the inning.
00:45:59The A's strand one.
00:46:01Still down 3-0.
00:46:11Top of the sixth inning.
00:46:12In now is the Mariners' D.H.
00:46:14Mike Cameron.
00:46:19Grove.
00:46:20Back to work.
00:46:23And a good eye there.
00:46:28And a pitch.
00:46:33Foul back our way, and that's out of play.
00:46:35I want to start that load a little bit sooner because of the good VLO.
00:46:43And here it comes.
00:46:47In there.
00:46:48And so now 1-2.
00:46:51And another ball.
00:47:05And he grounds one to the right side.
00:47:08He'll do it himself.
00:47:09And that's one out as they get the leadoff hitter in the sixth.
00:47:14And that's one out.
00:47:15He'll do it himself.
00:47:16And that's one out as they get the leadoff hitter in the sixth.
00:47:20The center fielder, number 24, Ken Griffey Jr.
00:47:27So digging in, Ken Griffey Jr.
00:47:30He had a big swing for these guys way back in the first inning.
00:47:33Yeah, but he didn't waste any time in this one.
00:47:35The solo shot really got his team going, and he's looking for more right here.
00:47:46With Jr., probably one of the sweetest swings we have ever seen.
00:47:50And certainly as signature a swing as any player has ever had.
00:47:58Next one misses, and the count is 2-0.
00:48:04Left-hand batter waits.
00:48:09That one's spoiled, and the count now 2-1.
00:48:16The pitch.
00:48:21Fouls one off.
00:48:222-2.
00:48:33The pitch.
00:48:38Stays alive.
00:48:46And a swing and a miss.
00:48:48And he's down on strikes for the second time today.
00:48:52Good horizontal movement on that curveball right there.
00:48:55And just enough to get him to chase it.
00:48:57He placed it just off the corner.
00:48:59And that's one of those where a pitcher says if he's going to miss,
00:49:01he's going to miss off the plate.
00:49:03So really good job.
00:49:05Great pitch for the punchout.
00:49:07So now it's the Mariner cleanup.
00:49:10He's got the power, but great contact skills.
00:49:13One of the best contact hitters in the game.
00:49:28Two down, nobody on.
00:49:32And he's down.
00:49:34And he's down.
00:49:36And he's down.
00:49:38Swings here and blasts one left field.
00:49:42And that ball is out of here.
00:49:46His 16th homer of the year, and they tack on to their lead.
00:49:50It's 4-0.
00:50:02He's so good at getting his arms extended,
00:50:05and that's exactly what he did right there.
00:50:07You don't typically want to pull a pitch in that part of the plate,
00:50:10but he doesn't allow his wrist to roll over.
00:50:13Stays through the ball, gets the loft, and gets the home run.
00:50:21The batter, number three, shortstop, Allen.
00:50:25That one's in there 0-1.
00:50:36The wind of the pitch.
00:50:42I think he was sitting off speed right there,
00:50:44because he just let the fastball go by.
00:50:50Got him looking.
00:50:52Picks up strikeout number seven.
00:50:54One score is in the inning, coming on this solo home run.
00:50:58It's now a 4-0 ballgame.
00:51:01Here at Chy Park, there's the shortstop at the plate,
00:51:05Burt Campanares.
00:51:08They've got a pool of teams capable of rallying
00:51:10from this kind of deficit.
00:51:12They're right at the top of the list.
00:51:15First pitch doesn't find the zone.
00:51:22And that one's in there 0-1.
00:51:25The wind of the pitch.
00:51:28In there at the knees for a strike.
00:51:31And it really looks like these hitters have been in between
00:51:34with their timing today.
00:51:36Good fastball, excellent slider,
00:51:38but they've not been able to commit to one velocity
00:51:41and stay there.
00:51:46And that one's in there 0-2.
00:51:48The wind of the pitch.
00:51:50And that one's in there 0-3.
00:51:53And that one's in there 0-4.
00:51:57On the ground, out to short.
00:52:00Lays out, but he can't squeeze it.
00:52:03He decides to eat it, and they don't get an out on the play.
00:52:09The left fielder, number 24, Ricky Henderson.
00:52:16So the Oakland lineup turns over.
00:52:19Next up for the A's, Ricky Henderson.
00:52:22Not your prototypical leadoff guy.
00:52:24Gets on base, yes, but also some power.
00:52:27And that's in there for strike one.
00:52:42Next offering is in for a strike.
00:52:45This is one of those situations defensively
00:52:47where you can't try to do too much.
00:52:49You've got to make sure that you feel the ball cleanly
00:52:51and get one out first.
00:52:53It's going to be tough to get two with this kind of speed
00:52:55in the batter's box.
00:53:04And a foul ball, he stays alive.
00:53:15And a pitch.
00:53:17Got him. Now one away.
00:53:20He's been racking up the strikeouts,
00:53:22and what's so impressive, not walking anyone.
00:53:25I mean, this guy's just going right after hitters,
00:53:27filling up the strike zone, and it looks like hitters,
00:53:30they're trying to think with him,
00:53:32but they just are a pitch behind,
00:53:34dominating stuff out there on the mound.
00:53:41Man at first, and now here's the A's catcher,
00:53:44Mickey McCann.
00:53:46Johnson keeping an eye on him.
00:53:53Runner, runner, runner.
00:53:55Runner on the goal.
00:53:57Strike in there.
00:53:59Throw to Sackey, and he's safe.
00:54:01He definitely showed off the wheels there.
00:54:04Yeah, and it turned out to be a bang-bang play.
00:54:07StatCast gives us the data,
00:54:09and that stolen base wasn't possible
00:54:11without that sprint speed.
00:54:22Next pitch misses.
00:54:24And one and one.
00:54:30Man at second.
00:54:44And that's downstairs and outside.
00:54:53Campanares, the runner at second with one away.
00:55:01Left field.
00:55:03A little bloop single.
00:55:06Runner comes in from second to score,
00:55:09and they cut the lead.
00:55:10It's 4-1.
00:55:12Just a bloop hit behind third right there,
00:55:14and that's a really tough play for a third baseman
00:55:16or shortstop to get to,
00:55:18and the same for the left fielder,
00:55:20and he's found a perfect place to drop that one in right there.
00:55:22And you can feel this crowd waking up a bit here
00:55:25as the guys are starting to make some noise with their bats.
00:55:28These guys definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here.
00:55:31Try to close that gap, but at the very least,
00:55:34if you could find a way to manufacture that run from first,
00:55:37it feels like it's really important to getting back into this ballgame.
00:55:51And a foul ball left side.
00:56:04At the belt and fires.
00:56:06That one ran inside, almost got him.
00:56:08Talk about the right guy at the right spot.
00:56:10They really need a rally, and this guy is someone you can believe in
00:56:13to find a way to get on base.
00:56:20Next pitch inside, and it's two and two.
00:56:34Swing and a foul pushed off to the right,
00:56:37and that will get out of play.
00:56:47And he deals.
00:56:49Pitch misses. Full countdown.
00:57:02Kicks and deals.
00:57:05Fouled off again, and it remains three and two.
00:57:10And the pitch.
00:57:12The punch out there.
00:57:14So he's gotten deep into this game,
00:57:17and at least so far, not showing a ton of signs of fatigue.
00:57:21Number nine, Reggie Jackson.
00:57:26And the batter now, Reggie Jackson.
00:57:31First pitch, just misses.
00:57:47And now the lefty.
00:57:50And the lefty.
00:57:53And the lefty.
00:57:57And now the lefty.
00:58:00Swing and a miss, and a count even at one.
00:58:03Big time jam right there.
00:58:05I hate it as a hitter, but standing in center field,
00:58:07you can't help but chuckle a little bit.
00:58:12The pitch.
00:58:14And now two and one.
00:58:27There's the strike.
00:58:38The next offering misses, and it's three and two.
00:58:57Swing and a miss, and he's down on strikes.
00:59:01Good job at damage control right there.
00:59:18Tim Hudson.
00:59:20It's his job to keep his team in the game.
00:59:27Hudson.
00:59:33Back here in Philadelphia,
00:59:35stepping in the long ball threat, Jay Buhner.
00:59:39With this kind of lead, he can swing freely,
00:59:41try to hit the ball out of the park,
00:59:43do what he loves to do.
00:59:48Here comes a pinch.
00:59:52And that one missing low.
00:59:57A one-oh.
01:00:01Swing and a miss.
01:00:03Ugly swing right there.
01:00:08A one-oh-one.
01:00:12That's down and in.
01:00:21And the right hitter deals.
01:00:26This one chopped in the ground, but fouled.
01:00:34Right-handed reliever.
01:00:38Swings through that, and it's a strikeout.
01:00:41That's the first out, the top of the seventh.
01:00:45Tino Martinez getting ready to hit.
01:00:57First offering, and it just misses.
01:01:15And that one clips the corner.
01:01:17Let's see if he's willing to use the whole field right here.
01:01:19Definitely pounding him away.
01:01:27The wind of the pitch.
01:01:31So, a foul ball makes it one and two.
01:01:35That's a really good pass of the ball right there,
01:01:37just a little bit too quick.
01:01:39He's got to find a way to just let it travel a hair more.
01:01:42A one-two.
01:01:46Got him looking.
01:01:48Back-to-back strikeouts.
01:01:52Chance to strike out the side now.
01:01:54You talk about the benefits, the advantages of relievers
01:01:57who can come in and get the swing and miss,
01:01:59whether it's inherited runners, or maybe a little jam
01:02:01that they get into themselves.
01:02:03Knowing that they can miss the bat, tell you what,
01:02:06that's huge and can change the ballgame.
01:02:10Number 29 stands in Betulay as he takes a ball.
01:02:25The one-one.
01:02:29And that one fouled off.
01:02:40And a righty deals.
01:02:44Swing and a ball popped up.
01:02:46And it's just fouled.
01:02:49You can see he was trying to stay in the middle.
01:02:51It's just fouled.
01:02:53You can see he was trying to stay back long enough
01:02:55to handle the off-speed pitch,
01:02:57but just a little tardy on the fastball.
01:02:59Right-hander kicks, deals.
01:03:03Swing and a miss, and he struck him out.
01:03:06And good work there as he gets a one-two-three.
01:03:09Impeccable command in that one.
01:03:11Three batters, three strikeouts.
01:03:13That's electric stuff out there on the mound.
01:03:22Go!
01:03:32Back here at the ballpark, digging in Mark McGuire.
01:03:36Leading off for the A's, the designated hitter,
01:03:40Mark McGuire.
01:03:43Go!
01:03:48A line to kick the pitch.
01:03:51Ball one, no strikes.
01:03:54Well, he's back out there to begin the seventh.
01:03:56That surprise you at all, Chris?
01:03:58Yeah, a little bit.
01:03:59It was a little rough sixth inning there,
01:04:01but his skippers got a lot of confidence in him.
01:04:03But trust me, they will keep a close eye
01:04:06on how he does in this one.
01:04:09Next one is off the play.
01:04:11Two balls, no strikes.
01:04:21Good eye right there.
01:04:323-0 down.
01:04:36This ball's chopped to the ground.
01:04:39Gathers and throws to first.
01:04:42And the leadoff hitter set down to open the seventh.
01:04:45Number seven, Al Simmons.
01:04:50Striding to the plate now for Oakland, Al Simmons.
01:04:53This guy has turned into a beast.
01:05:01First pitch, and he just misses.
01:05:0499 pitches, about to throw his 100th
01:05:06here in the seventh inning.
01:05:08That's where you really start looking
01:05:09for any signs of fatigue.
01:05:11And now this one's a rocket to right.
01:05:13Way back there.
01:05:15Gone.
01:05:19Home run number 10 of the year.
01:05:21And they slice into the lead.
01:05:23It's 4-2.
01:05:27Oh, now we've gotten a jet stream on a line drive.
01:05:30We saw the numbers on the backs of the jerseys
01:05:32of the outfielders, which is usually bad news.
01:05:35And all of a sudden, they're back in this ballgame.
01:05:41So one out, nobody up.
01:05:43Home run, Baker.
01:05:45Now at the plate.
01:05:47And he's got it.
01:05:49He's got it.
01:05:51He's got it.
01:05:53He's got it.
01:05:55Now at the plate.
01:05:56The third baseman.
01:05:58Home run.
01:05:59Bounced up the middle.
01:06:01Now they get the out.
01:06:03Well, a well-thrown slider like that one
01:06:04can be tough to get in the air.
01:06:06Good downward break on that one.
01:06:07Second baseman, Eddie Collins.
01:06:12Digging in for Oakland, Eddie Collins.
01:06:15This guy is one of the best athletes in the sport.
01:06:20Trying to bunt his way on.
01:06:23The throw to first.
01:06:24They thwart the bunt attempt and end the inning.
01:06:27But not before they answer back with a solo home run.
01:06:31It's now 4-2.
01:06:49We go to the eighth.
01:06:50Here's the catcher, number two.
01:06:52Leading off for Seattle, the catcher, number two.
01:06:57And the pitch.
01:07:00Just off the outside edge.
01:07:03The Athletics have some bullpen action.
01:07:05Raleigh Fingers up and loosening in the pen.
01:07:14The pitch.
01:07:18There's the strike.
01:07:27And a curve misses outside.
01:07:35Righty delivers.
01:07:40And that's a base hit.
01:07:42And the leadoff man aboard.
01:07:45He needed that one.
01:07:47It's been a tough stretch at the plate lately.
01:07:49That's a good sound coming off the bat, man.
01:07:51And as he connected out front and lifted into the outfield,
01:07:54that's one of those swings where you just don't even feel the ball hit the barrel.
01:07:58That's a pure stroke.
01:08:01Now, Ichiro Suzuki.
01:08:04First offering, misses the mark.
01:08:06Misses the mark.
01:08:14Number two gets his lead at first with nobody out.
01:08:21Next pitch is downstairs.
01:08:29Righty to the plate.
01:08:31And a foul ball.
01:08:33Looked like he got a little excited on that fastball.
01:08:35Got to think to yourself, want to stay up the middle.
01:08:37That way if you're a little bit early, you hit it out of the ballpark.
01:08:40If you're a little late, opposite field not.
01:08:432-1 now. Here comes the pitch.
01:08:45Runner breaks for a second.
01:08:47Next offering is fouled back.
01:08:56The pitch.
01:08:59Stays alive.
01:09:06Line drive. Caught.
01:09:08Thrown not in time.
01:09:10As he's able to get back to avoid the double play.
01:09:15The bat, number 44.
01:09:17Designated hitter.
01:09:19Mike.
01:09:21And now for Seattle. Mike.
01:09:24Pitch misses inside.
01:09:26Ball one.
01:09:29At the belt and fires.
01:09:31Out in front.
01:09:33And fouled at the left side.
01:09:37The station.
01:09:39Top of the seventh inning.
01:09:41This will be the final.
01:09:43Here comes the touchdown.
01:09:45Great job by downtown Seattle.
01:09:53Six-time NHL All-Star.
01:09:5517,005.
01:09:57And foul to the left side.
01:10:08The pitch.
01:10:10Swing and a tapper that rolls
01:10:11foul.
01:10:20The pitch.
01:10:22That misses the zone.
01:10:24It's 2 and 2.
01:10:28Kicks and fires that misses the
01:10:30zone counts full 3 and 2.
01:10:44And here comes.
01:10:46Just a slow ground ball this
01:10:48time.
01:10:49Got the out.
01:10:58The center fielder number 24.
01:11:01Ken Griffey Junior.
01:11:04Ken Griffey Junior digs in now.
01:11:20Hammered on a line at a left
01:11:21base hit.
01:11:24Grows to second and he's out.
01:11:27And he's in there a run comes in
01:11:30on the play.
01:11:31You've got to get on your horse
01:11:32and get to that thing and get it
01:11:34back in because he's going to
01:11:35come barrel around first.
01:11:37He's going to put pressure on
01:11:38you if you bobble it or you
01:11:39don't get there in a hurry he's
01:11:40going to make you look silly and
01:11:42end up on second base.
01:11:57The.
01:12:06They say you win.
01:12:12Two outs and wanted scoring
01:12:14position.
01:12:20Look out.
01:12:22And it hit him.
01:12:23So if you had to take one for
01:12:25the team what would you want to
01:12:26get hit.
01:12:26Chris I think I'd have to say
01:12:28upper hamstring.
01:12:30First and second two down.
01:12:31Alex Rodriguez will hit next.
01:12:40In the first pitch misses for
01:12:41ball one.
01:12:42Well this is a critical spot for
01:12:44both the pitcher and the hitter.
01:12:46You can learn a lot about a guy
01:12:47by how he handles these pressure
01:12:49situations.
01:12:57And there's a strike.
01:13:07And he deals.
01:13:09In the air to left down the line.
01:13:12Henderson settles under.
01:13:14And makes the play and that's
01:13:16out number three.
01:13:18RBI double for the M's.
01:13:21It's five to.
01:13:26Number 56.
01:13:28To pitch out of the pannier.
01:13:30And he'll do his best to hang on
01:13:32to this lead.
01:13:42And welcome back.
01:13:43Bottom of the eighth.
01:13:44The batter will be the shortstop
01:13:46Bert Campanares.
01:13:47Not shortstop.
01:13:49First.
01:13:50Campanare.
01:13:50And a pitch.
01:13:52Well it's critical right here
01:13:53that they bear down and turn in
01:13:55some quality at bats try to chip
01:13:56away at that lead because if it
01:13:58gets to the ninth.
01:13:59That closer is coming in.
01:14:01Kicks and deals.
01:14:05Laced into left.
01:14:06That's a base hit.
01:14:08And a board on the lead off
01:14:09single.
01:14:17And a pitch.
01:14:18Well it's critical right here
01:14:20that they bear down and turn in
01:14:21some quality at bats try to chip
01:14:22away at that lead.
01:14:26Ricky Henderson getting ready to
01:14:27hit.
01:14:36Puts it in the air out towards
01:14:38left center.
01:14:39And there's one down.
01:14:48Now batting.
01:14:49Catcher.
01:14:50And a strikeout.
01:15:03First pitch doesn't find the
01:15:04zone.
01:15:15Pick off throw.
01:15:16Campanares gets back easily.
01:15:20And a strikeout.
01:15:31And a 1 0.
01:15:33Out front with the swing and
01:15:35that is strike one.
01:15:43And a pitch.
01:15:45That misses off the outside edge.
01:15:50And a strikeout.
01:15:59Left hand hitter waits.
01:16:01Swing and a miss.
01:16:03It might be time to choke up a
01:16:05little bit.
01:16:05Get that front foot down early
01:16:07maybe even just spread out.
01:16:08He's really late right now.
01:16:10Cut on and miss struck him out.
01:16:13Two down.
01:16:14Man at first.
01:16:15Here's some real power at the
01:16:17plate.
01:16:17Jimmy Fox.
01:16:25Here's a run scoring
01:16:26opportunity.
01:16:27Definitely got to push something
01:16:28across because it's not going to
01:16:30get any easier to get to the
01:16:31ninth.
01:16:31Get a lockdown closer ready to
01:16:33come in.
01:16:34Campanares leads off first with
01:16:36two down to the inning.
01:16:40And there's a foul ball.
01:16:43That's a foul ball.
01:16:56Next offering is down low.
01:17:06And a pitch.
01:17:08Now a screamer into the outfield.
01:17:11Buehler makes the catch and
01:17:13one left for Oakland.
01:17:15They trail at 5 2.
01:17:27Welcome back all set to start
01:17:29the ninth in this one.
01:17:30Now the left fielder Jay Buehler
01:17:32the left fielder Jay.
01:17:37And the right hander back to
01:17:38work.
01:17:41On the ground.
01:17:44Roll over to Fox and they get the
01:17:46leadoff man in the ninth.
01:17:49Now that.
01:17:50The first baseman.
01:17:52Dino.
01:17:53Mark.
01:17:55Tino Martinez up next for the
01:17:57Mariners.
01:18:09First offering misses the mark.
01:18:11Oakland's bullpen has some
01:18:12movement.
01:18:13Number 17 the left handed
01:18:15reliever appears to be getting
01:18:16loose.
01:18:23The 1 0.
01:18:26And a strike on the outside
01:18:28edge.
01:18:36Good eye right there.
01:19:13Skips in the dirt.
01:19:25Three and one Martinez weights.
01:19:28Fouls one away and now three and
01:19:30two.
01:19:40The wind of the pitch.
01:19:43And down on strikes.
01:19:46Now two away.
01:19:51So up next.
01:19:52Number twenty nine.
01:20:03In there for a strike one.
01:20:05Some guys are just more
01:20:06confident they can track that
01:20:07first pitch out of the hand of
01:20:08the pitcher they don't care if
01:20:09they fall behind 0 1.
01:20:13And a strike out.
01:20:22Next offering upstairs.
01:20:35Center field.
01:20:36Simmons settles underneath it.
01:20:38He's got it.
01:20:39And that'll do it.
01:20:40Six coming up.
01:20:42It's the M's five and the A's
01:20:44two.
01:20:53They hand the ball over to a new
01:20:55arm number twenty two.
01:20:56And he'll work on holding this
01:20:58lead.
01:21:08Back here in Philadelphia.
01:21:10Last chance for the home team.
