00:00:00we're in miami gardens florida we've got major league baseball on a tuesday night
00:00:16it's the san diego padres taking on the miami marlins john chambi alongside chris singleton
00:00:22chris one guy having a big year for this club leading the team at home runs and runs batted in
00:00:28gary sheffield he leads the team and wins above replacement so most days you can expect him to
00:00:33be a big factor for these guys yeah boogie's definitely a huge piece of the puzzle for this
00:00:38ball club right now he's just having a really nice year and that's on both sides of the ball
00:00:42not just offensively you talk to guys in the clubhouse the coaching staff they always have
00:00:47great things to say about them and they say the team really looks to him to be one of the
00:00:51on-field leaders day in and day out
00:00:57just about set to go and getting the start for miami number 47 and chris he's a guy that gets
00:01:03better when things get tough yes batting average against is actually better when he's in a jam so
00:01:10we'll see if he continues to dance his way out of danger tony gwinn getting ready to hit
00:01:15number gwynn comes into this one with the seventh best batting average in the nl
00:01:28here comes the pitch
00:01:32lined and that's a base hit
00:01:34well clearly he was ready to hit right there nice line drive to the pull side met it out front
00:01:44but just stayed through it nice enough and ripped it into the outfield and now they've got some speed
00:01:48on first so we'll see if they try to get him into motion so digging in number 27
00:01:55first offering runner goes and fouled off
00:02:06gwynn on at first nobody out
00:02:13the next offering misses and that is ball one
00:02:25and the right hater deals
00:02:38one and two
00:02:44move to first
00:02:54gwynn back easily
00:03:06the one two
00:03:07and downstairs
00:03:14nobody out
00:03:18nobody out runner at first
00:03:28can't get there and now maybe extra bases
00:03:35throw comes in runner stop second and third nobody out just so sound in his mechanics hits against a
00:03:42firm front side
00:03:44and the hands just continue to carry through the middle of the field
00:03:55adrian gonzalez now at the plate
00:04:04that one's in there oh and one
00:04:12right he delivers
00:04:21and now the count is even
00:04:26that one catches the corner for a strike
00:04:40that one catches the corner for a strike
00:04:43i mean that's perfect location right on the black i mean over and over again this guy demonstrates the ability to hit those spots
00:04:50they're so tough to do anything with as a hitter
00:04:55on the ground and that one handled tosses to first and the first run of the game comes across
00:05:06batting four the left fielder
00:05:08and now it's going to be number 31
00:05:21in there for strike one
00:05:26called strike right there oh this guy's so comfortable hitting with two strikes even a good pitch early in the at bat if he's not ready to pull the trigger
00:05:42he's not worried if he gets to an 0-2 count
00:05:52that one missed runner on at third one gone
00:06:08the pitch
00:06:24floyd towards the line looking up makes a one-handed catch
00:06:28he'll score on the sack fly it's two nothing well that's a quality at bat right there you know the situation
00:06:34you need something in the air and deep enough and that's exactly what he did good pass to the baseball
00:06:41and now it's manny machado
00:06:43singing you can't ask for anything more this guy checks all the boxes offensively he is the ultimate professional and it
00:06:50doesn't just start at game time it starts in the afternoon the way he prepares and gets ready for the ball game
00:06:55i tell you what his teammates feed off of the leadership that he shows on and off the field
00:07:05first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:07:11two down nobody on
00:07:12and manny gets a piece
00:07:23the wind of the pitch
00:07:26that one off the mark and it's one and two good purpose pitch right there trying to tease him get
00:07:32him to raise his sights pop something up and make it an easy out next offering misses and it's two and two
00:07:46the wind of the pitch
00:07:54center field
00:07:57pierre racing over to make the catch
00:08:01bottom half of inning number one coming up it's the padres two and the marlins coming up
00:08:14bottom of the first and towing the slab in this one number 32
00:08:21oh you can see his whip is a little above the league average not bad but i think in this one
00:08:27he's going to need to control that a little bit better try to limit hitters from getting on base
00:08:32stay in that wind up instead of the stretch and when he does allow base runners be able to throw a
00:08:37pitch he's going to get a swing and miss get out of the inning so that a base hit doesn't do more
00:08:42damage and put his team behind the eight ball grips one to right
00:08:46and the pitch
00:09:00slapped foul
00:09:01in the air right field a little bloop single man aboard on the leadoff single
00:09:18hooked around that pitch on the outside but he was still able to square it up pretty nicely and that
00:09:23takes quick strong risk to pull that off and you can feel this crowd waking up a bit here as the guys
00:09:28are starting to make some noise with their bats number 11 will hit next
00:09:35try to bunt his way on hudson the throw to first one gone bottom half of the first
00:09:45as we take a look at don mattingly's lineup for the marlins
00:09:49and a key factor for this club in that leadoff spot juan pierre well these days we know teams
00:09:54you know they put a game plan together for every hitter in a lineup but a guy like this they circle
00:09:59him make sure he doesn't beat you uh so you know they put in a little extra time and effort and on
00:10:04how they're going to approach him he can be a huge difference maker when he's hot so it's going to be
00:10:09fun to see how they try to work him right here miguel cabrera the next to hit cabrera hitting better
00:10:16against right handers this year so some reverse splits there
00:10:25and that's in there for strike one hitters got some good opposite field power what i like about
00:10:31something being hit to the right side into the outfield is that the base runner at second has
00:10:36a very good read and can determine whether or not he can score on that base hit
00:10:41swing and a high fly ball in the air left field pulls it in on the warning track
00:10:54batting fourth the right fielder that's a really nice job right there great awareness making the
00:11:00catch up against the wall you see the perfect technique feeling for the wall with the bare hand while
00:11:06keeping his eyes on the baseballs it's coming down his glove in a good position to make the catch
00:11:12that's exactly how you do it and now here is gary sheffield
00:11:17that hits the dirt and the count is one and one two outs and one in scoring position
00:11:38left it in the air right field gwynn settles underneath it and makes the play and that's out number three
00:11:49three one left for miami and they're down two nothing
00:12:02leading off for the padres the designated hitter number six
00:12:19the right hander back to work
00:12:29grabs it on the run and there's one down
00:12:33he was all over that first pitch fastball just barely missed it man this guy was ready to hit
00:12:39so up next steve finley good contact guy good defender
00:12:51that one's in there on one he needs a quick one two three this time around last inning through a lot of pitches
00:12:58right hander kicks deals
00:13:10strike two this guy's got such a good sinker as a hitter you've got to look up in the zone
00:13:14if you look down you're going to be chasing stuff in the dirt larry bullard our umpire behind the plate
00:13:20bullard's got a pretty standard strike zone sometimes they'll have you guessing a little bit
00:13:25but overall well-respected umpire in the league next pitch is downstairs fans don't really understand
00:13:32the familiarity and relationship players and coaches have with umpires i mean you see these guys a lot
00:13:37yeah but these guys are all out there trying to do their best and perform at a high level so when you
00:13:44respect that i think over time you can develop a relationship with some of these guys down to the
00:13:49dirt swing and a miss got them two gone after the strikeout as the game has moved along we see more
00:13:56and more information supplied by teams about the umpires i've been in clubhouses where they have
00:14:02pictures of all four guys nicknames hometowns and as well hobbies listed just so you can kind of small
00:14:10talk the umpire a little bit that's great could be extra bases the throw into second and he's out
00:14:18cut down and that ends the inning now to the bottom of the second it's the padres two and the marlins nothing
00:14:28bottom half of inning number two and now here's the marlins dh john carlos stanton the designated hitter
00:14:36stanton the guy capable of hitting in a long way oh you can tell how comfortable he is look at that front
00:14:42foot on the line as he is closed to the plate but he can be very quick to a pitch that is down and in
00:14:49and he flips a breaking ball in there or a change up either one something off speed good arm action on it whatever it was
00:15:03next pitch is outside he's a guy that's changed his stance
00:15:20his stance over time it's been a little more open straight up and now more closed one thing hitters
00:15:29will do it's not so much about the stance but it's what it does to the brain in terms of resetting and
00:15:34how they approach the pitcher stays alive
00:15:47next offering in the dirt three and two now
00:15:50three and two now
00:16:01right side
00:16:03the flip to the pitcher covering and they take care of stanton for the out
00:16:10batting stick not shortstop number two
00:16:16ramirez the next up for the marlins he's got pop which is a little sneaky because
00:16:23he's so comfortable with taking his base hits to the opposite field but he can jump you if you make a mistake
00:16:33the one oh ground ball to the right side and that's just foul
00:16:46one down base is empty edge of the zone for a strike that strike two
00:16:54the pitch
00:16:57swing and a ground ball out to short on the run throw to first two up two down
00:17:03batting seven the catcher jake t real mutual steps in known for his rocket arm behind the plate
00:17:22in there and it's on one first pitch strike right there for him he's gonna have to do that consistently
00:17:27if he's gonna give any link to his skipper and he's down oh two as he swings through it
00:17:32more and more guys are looking to slug regardless of the count in this situation we'll keep a close
00:17:37eye on his approach deal two
00:17:42up the middle and a base hit right there and that keeps the inning alive
00:17:50right there he does a great job of staying in the big part of the field man there are a lot of hits
00:17:54there number 30
00:18:01runner at first with two away now it's the rookie first baseman number 30
00:18:09next pitch downstairs and that's ball one
00:18:12real Muto the runner at first with two gone
00:18:26two balls no
00:18:27and a pitch and a foul ball
00:18:46two outs swing and a miss
00:18:57kicks and fires and a swing and a miss and that's that
00:19:13marlins leave one they trail it here to nothing
00:19:25welcome back new inning getting started so digging in now for san diego benito santiago
00:19:40the wind and the pitch
00:19:43swing and a miss
00:19:45well he looks fresh out there just needs to get a little more confidence and remember how good he's
00:19:51been in the past
00:19:58and he deals
00:20:01swing and a miss as he was late that time
00:20:07the wide it kicked the pitch
00:20:10that misses the zone now one and two
00:20:13and a pitch
00:20:32swing and a line drive caught
00:20:37back to the top of the lineup stepping in for san diego
00:20:48tony gwen scored the first run of the game back in the first after a single to reach base
00:20:54first pitch just misses you'd be hard pressed to find a better contact hitter than tony gwen
00:21:05the ball basically stood still for him if it's near the plate he'd get the barrel on it
00:21:09the pitch
00:21:14and that one fouled off
00:21:27here's a one-to-one
00:21:31upstairs usually a pitcher has a plan for every at bat but with gwen you can forget about that tony's
00:21:38going to be running the show when he's standing in the box he's the one dictating the at bat and
00:21:42pretty much hitting the ball wherever he wants to
00:21:47two two now
00:21:50and now the count filled up three and two and with tony there isn't any kind of pitch that gives him
00:21:56problems whether it's movement velocity just doesn't really matter for him every pitch was a good pitch to hit
00:22:02the three two is off the outside edge and that is ball four his ability to draw walks has been
00:22:11something that's been part of his career since day one now at the plate number 27
00:22:17pickoff throw back standing he's in there safely
00:22:31in there for strike one there was a high velocity fastball in the zone i think a little frustration
00:22:49from walking the previous hitter he's got good stuff pitch inside the zone and trust it
00:23:03next offering is in for a strike if he doesn't get a knock right here that pitch he just took is
00:23:08going to eat at him for a while you might not see another pitch like that from a top level guy like this
00:23:13going chew now swing and a miss and he's down on strikes two gone well i'd say he pretty much had
00:23:23to offer it that one you don't want to leave it in the umpire's hands even though it ended up outside
00:23:28the zone it still was close enough to where it looked like it could drop down right on that corner
00:23:32and get the call last thing you want to do is get punched out by the umpire knowing you could have
00:23:37at least fouled the pitch off and kept the at bat going man at first stepping in the long
00:23:42ball threat adrian gonzalez first pitch not close good speed on the base pass he handles the bat
00:23:51very well i wouldn't be surprised if the skipper puts on some type of hit and run or run and hit
00:24:05edge of the zone call the strike and the count even at one
00:24:12the kick in the pitch runner goes that's in for a strike real mutual throws not in time it's a stolen
00:24:31base two outs is a great time to try to steal second especially when you have a guy with some wheels on
00:24:36first defense probably knew it was coming but figured we better focus on trying to get this hitter out
00:24:41and a foul baldy stays alive
00:25:01righty to the plate swing and a miss and that is that one left for san diego but they hold the two
00:25:09two-nothing lead
00:25:20flip floyd digs in down floyd swinging it much better this season in away games and here at home
00:25:27and a pitch
00:25:39misses off the plate and it's one to know
00:25:42and the righty deals
00:25:55and a breaking ball drops in for a strike
00:25:59and that's outside
00:26:11left hand hitter waits
00:26:14swings and misses and one down below the zone
00:26:17bell and those hitters count sometimes can be a little too aggressive and a good pitcher will play
00:26:22off of that he's got to get a better pitch to hit stays alive
00:26:35the pitch
00:26:38that one pulled foul flew open a little bit with that front shoulder but was able to slow his back down
00:26:45just enough to make contact with that pitch keep the bat alive
00:26:50that hits the dirt three and two now
00:26:57kicks and deals
00:26:58and a foul ball
00:27:09and the right hater deals
00:27:12fouled off again and it remains three and two
00:27:15righty delivers
00:27:26and there's a foul ball
00:27:34and a three two
00:27:39swings and lines a base hit into left field
00:27:42and that turns the lineup over
00:27:44but when you see that many pitches in it at bat
00:27:47your chances of succeeding go off and right there we see the result
00:27:54one pierre the next up for the marlins
00:28:01first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:28:12left hand batter waits nope and ball one
00:28:18now he's really working him away this at bat sometimes take a little bit off velocity try to
00:28:23get a rollover something on the ground stay away from that big hole on the right side of the infield
00:28:27the next pitch misses and it's two and one
00:28:42floyd gets his lead at first with nobody out
00:28:44check on the runner back in safe really close
00:28:59the pitch
00:29:01and that's outside chris with that distraction and the speedy guy at first
00:29:07he's in a favorable hitters count well if nothing else i mean this is a great spot for a hitter to be in
00:29:14and the three one
00:29:17knocks it down in the hole
00:29:20fires to second for one and that's all they'll get
00:29:23now battle second baseman
00:29:31number 11 the next up for the marlins
00:29:34singing he's a guy that covers both sides of the plate about as well as anyone in the sport
00:29:40how difficult is that to do i'll just look at the back of my bubblegum card you'll see how hard it is
00:29:45these guys are great man they have the ability to look out there but also to be able to turn on the inside pitch
00:29:51those that can really sharpen things on the outer half those are the ones that become elite
00:30:05that one's spoiled and the count now two and one
00:30:24the pitch
00:30:26and now it's even up well the hitter shows the pitcher that he's willing to go after that pitch
00:30:31down in the zone so perhaps he'll come back to it still try to get that ground ball double play
00:30:38and he grounds one back up the middle pace hit the throw to third in there safely
00:30:46oh a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle we saw the numbers coming into the ball game
00:30:52but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win
00:30:54runners on the corners with one gone here's the third baseman miguel cabrera
00:31:08that one's in there on one
00:31:18runners are at the corners one away
00:31:25next offering is in for a strike big pitch right here he's going to try to make a pitch
00:31:30it's going to produce a strikeout or a ground ball double play
00:31:39the oh two
00:31:41and now one and two pretty standard high oh two fastball right there if you're smart
00:31:48you'll look for something down in the zone but not too far and i want to chase that breaking ball in
00:31:52the dirt meanwhile this pitch gets away
00:32:01got him and now two gone
00:32:04so he gets the call and picks up the strikeout looking sometimes with a good hitter at the plate
00:32:10he'll be the one to get the benefit of the doubt if he lays off on a close pitch like that but just
00:32:14not right there strike zone definitely expand a little bit with two strikes
00:32:19gary sheffield now at the plate this guy has turned into a beast
00:32:24and the first pitch misses for ball one
00:32:37corners are occupied with two down
00:32:38right field down the line and that one slices foul
00:32:50and here it comes cracks his bat and pops him off and that ends the inning
00:33:02marlin strand a pair they're still down it's two zip
00:33:17and welcome back john chomby with chris singleton and set to lead off the fourth number 50
00:33:26number 31
00:33:42and the pitch
00:33:45called strike a sinker at the bottom of the zone it's good speed at the top of the order here you
00:33:50want to get it on see if you can get a stolen base maybe get around the bases and pick up a run
00:33:55and that's a base hit just kind of slice that one into center
00:34:04the third baseman number 13. here's machado a guy who makes an impact not just at the plate but also in the field
00:34:20and that's in there for strike one good approach right there you want to get something just a
00:34:37little higher that you can elevate stay out of that double play
00:34:40and a pitch now the corner for a strike no balls two strikes
00:35:05swang and a miss the velocity blasted it right past him dominating strike out
00:35:10there on just three pitches and that's what a good power pitcher can do to you
00:35:14he's hitting the spots filling up the strike zone sometimes he bats over before it really begins
00:35:20next for the padres number six
00:35:28first offering misses the mark
00:35:30number 31 over at first with one away
00:35:47next offering is in for a strike
00:36:01kicks and fires so now one and two
00:36:04if you're not ready for that pitch you're just going to swing and miss or pop it up
00:36:08waste the at bat if you're going to let it go you better be ready to swing it
00:36:11next one misses and the count's even at two
00:36:19and a foul ball he stays alive
00:36:32just a weak fly ball this time snags it on the run two down
00:36:46just a weak fly ball this time snags it on the run two down
00:37:00and now the center fielder steve finley he's 0 for 1
00:37:13throw over to first and he dives back in safely
00:37:29first pitch doesn't find the zone now if he's going to steal second you want him to go early in
00:37:38the count that way he's not a distraction to the hitter at the plate go ahead and get it out of the
00:37:42way so the hitter can focus on the pitch
00:37:47and the 1-0
00:37:50well usually a high level of confidence when you're facing a young pitcher out there on the mound
00:37:55in this situation ahead 2-0 he's put himself in a really good spot
00:38:022-0
00:38:05started after it appeal to third and that's going to be ruled the swing
00:38:16at the belt and fires two balls two strikes to count with two outs well it looks like he just
00:38:22got out of himself a little bit right there he's looking for a ball in and to attack that pitch
00:38:27looked like a half-hearted swing
00:38:33got him looking down on strikes and he knew it padres leave one but they're on top two nothing
00:38:40back here at the ballpark ready to go bottom four here's stanton now
00:38:56john carlos stanton certainly a physical presence and chris one of the more imposing guys at the plate
00:39:03in the entire sport he's a force and i think it's scary for pitchers thinking about making a mistake to
00:39:09him because you know you're not going to get that baseball back he hits the ball so hard you don't even
00:39:14have to watch him swing you can just close your eyes and listen and know exactly who it is that hit the ball
00:39:22next pitch misses two balls no strikes
00:39:34and it's found away
00:39:39the wind of the pitch
00:39:46that misses the zone three and one this doesn't seem to want to throw him a fastball
00:39:53swing and a ball popped up
00:40:08gonzalez makes the grab and there's one away
00:40:10now that ain't automatic number two
00:40:16and then she won't go and grab it
00:40:17drippin so she like my fashion too much money
00:40:20here's a speed threat ramirez
00:40:24yeah you can have it getting money turned to a habit
00:40:26and he just be acting he gonna say yeah it ain't gonna happen no more
00:40:30and i know what you said in there for strike one he's pitching well but not throwing a ton
00:40:38of first pitch strikes usually doesn't work out for success but you can never predict baseball
00:40:44next offering is way upstairs
00:40:58here comes a pinch
00:40:58and down on strikes now two out wow that's a tough call for the hitter but the pitcher will take that all day long
00:41:22not quite in the strike zone but he found a spot that the umpire is going to
00:41:27at least for now allow him to get that call so hitters are going to have to make an adjustment
00:41:31but pitchers are going to learn from those things and really try to exploit them if they can't
00:41:35rail muto stands in now and watches strike one
00:41:49and the oh one
00:41:52that one fouled off
00:42:02and the oh two
00:42:05next offering is outside
00:42:15lifted in the air right center field
00:42:17gwen long run on his horse
00:42:20reaching for it makes the catch
00:42:22and one two three go the marlins they trail things here to nothing
00:42:35ready now for the fifth inning leading off orlando hudson leading off for san diego
00:42:41the second baseman orlando
00:42:44the wind of the pitch
00:42:45ball one no strikes
00:42:56and a foul ball
00:42:58swing and a miss and that is strike two i think he was sitting off speed there
00:43:14here's a one two
00:43:20stays alive
00:43:26up the middle a dive nice stop it's there and that's a great play
00:43:37that was an impressive diving stop singing let's dive into the numbers stack has the simple
00:43:48damn hook a really good effort just to get his glove to the ball he
00:43:51found a way to do it and just produces strong throw as well so that right there is a great play all the way around just really smooth
00:43:59and the batter now
00:44:02benito santiago first pitch just misses
00:44:12that one hit to right brings it in with a nice running grab two down
00:44:26now
00:44:31now battle the right fielder
00:44:34tony
00:44:35so the san diego batting order turns over
00:44:38up now the padre lead off man tony guinn
00:44:41this guy one of the best contact men in the sport as well outstanding on the defensive end
00:44:48and the first pitch misses for ball one well on the mound very efficient able to produce an outcome
00:44:54it seems like within the third or fourth pitch of just about every at bat
00:44:58next one is off the play and that's ball two
00:45:01swings and chases a low one there that's a really big swing right there he's got to remember with this
00:45:13speed a walk or a single can turn into extra bases by stealing a base or two
00:45:20that one ripped
00:45:22sheffield makes the catch and that'll do it padres go down quietly as they're unable to add to their
00:45:29two-nothing lead and sell my cds this is my grind it's what i'm committed to if it don't sound good maybe it ain't
00:45:38we head to the bottom of the fifth and here's the first baseman number 30.
00:45:43all these fans definitely want to get involved in the game all it's going to take is to get the leadoff
00:45:48man or even a base runner on clips the outside corner strike one bullpen activity starting up now
00:45:56randy jones the left hander up and throwing number 30 the right hander loosening up as well
00:46:02not even close there one ball one strike
00:46:13the pitch
00:46:18the count is one and two
00:46:25and a ball evens the count
00:46:32and that one is lifted in the air finley racing over to make the catch
00:46:39up next for the marlin no left fielder flip floyd will hit next
00:46:49first offering misses the mark
00:47:11inside just missed
00:47:12right hander kicks deals
00:47:19that one missed now three and oh a rare three ball count here he's been throwing strikes all day
00:47:25got to be ready to hit if you're in the box
00:47:27swing and a pop-up in foul ground
00:47:42and puts the squeeze on that and there's two away well that's a frustrating into the at-bat for the
00:47:47hitter right there i mean that pitch was right down the middle i think he got a little too excited came
00:47:52out of his mechanics and instead of driving that ball somewhere he popped it up unfortunate for him
00:47:58back to the top of the miami order here's the center fielder juan pierre one for two
00:48:09and a good fastball to start him off that strike one
00:48:11now tried to bunt for a hit right there and you can tell he's trying to get something anything going
00:48:17offensively and he lays down a bunt
00:48:23safe at first and an infield single keeps the inning going
00:48:30now that maybe a little small ball is exactly what the doctor ordered to rev up this offense
00:48:35and they've been pretty quiet all game so maybe this wakes him up a bit and helps him get on the board
00:48:47so two down number 11 the next up for the marlins pickoff move to first and he dives back in safely
00:49:05first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:49:22and the righty deals
00:49:35and now two and one after that missed inside
00:49:56two and one now fouled off left side
00:50:05two two down
00:50:11in the dirt and the runner holds
00:50:20line and that's a base hit and that'll put runners at the corners with two away
00:50:25hitting is really easy for some guys one thing that i could see already his bat stays in the zone
00:50:31on plane for an extended period of time and guys like that they have a high contact rate and they
00:50:38have more barrels because of that bat being on plane and even when you don't get it great it's still hit
00:50:44hard enough to dunk something in like that in front of the center fielder out of the bullpen for the
00:50:49padres randy jones and this appearance number 55 for him well at this point of the ball game we're talking about middle innings and
00:50:58in the little length out of this arm coming out of the bullpen we'll see just how many outs he's able to give his skipper
00:51:04lefty out of the stretch runners at first and third a little bit low
00:51:16and the pitch so a foul ball makes it one and two
00:51:35and that's outside
00:51:46this one in the air right field gwynn under it makes the grab and that'll end the inning
00:52:04welcome back and the batter will be the shortstop number 27 leading off for the padres
00:52:09the shortstop number 27 the right hander back to work pitch misses ball one
00:52:19got it started a little too early strike one
00:52:31but why to kick the pitch
00:52:32and that one clips the corner chris we were excited to watch him pitch this is a little more along the
00:52:40lines of what we're expecting performance wise yeah but great pitchers like this you may get
00:52:46one opportunity in one inning to get to him to get some runs up on the board and if you don't take it then you may see zeros the rest of the ball game
00:52:54and now it's filled up
00:53:02he should get a pretty good pitch to hit here with three hole hitter coming up if he's walked
00:53:13between two and eight it's a uh-huh
00:53:14kick sendeos
00:53:18now fly ball to right center pierre long run into the gap dives but it's off his glove base
00:53:24in safely with a double his second of the day two hits for him in this one both for extra bases
00:53:31got to feel good about that i love the approach he had right there with that pitch not trying to
00:53:36do too much but still looking to drive it and that's exactly what he's able to do into the
00:53:41opposite field gap for the double
00:53:42so digging in now for san diego adrian gonzalez
00:53:53popped up carrera settles under this one makes the grab one away well that was a pitch you got a
00:54:07crush unbelievable that he missed it right there and i'm telling you he is going to be frustrated
00:54:11with himself until his next at bat here's the left fielder number 31
00:54:16first offering misses badly for ball one double barreled action in the bullpen number 46
00:54:31appears to be warming for don mattingly willis a lefty warming up as well
00:54:36number 27 leads off second with one gone in the inning
00:54:40the next offering misses two balls no strikes to count
00:54:47swing and a foul pushed off to the right
00:55:07two balls and a strike here comes on the run sends it over to first that's it out
00:55:24first of all that's just a nice job to even get to that ball and then even more impressive was the
00:55:31throw off balance had to try to end the air get his shoulders turned and make a strong throw
00:55:38does show off the strength of the arm we're usually used to seeing that kind of arm strength from the shortstop
00:55:42here's manny machado now
00:55:53liner picked on the hop at first and they get the out
00:55:58the out to the bottom of the six we go four five six coming up it's the padres two and the marlins nothing
00:56:06and welcome back here's some real power at the plate Gary Sheffield he's not gonna get cheated up there
00:56:22no he's not he's looking to do damage with every swing he takes and a pinch
00:56:31That's out to center field Finley drifts towards it falls it in and there's one away
00:56:42The batter the designated hitter John Carlos now here's John Carlos Stanton
00:56:52He swings and fouls one off
00:57:12That misses and that's ball one activity in the bullpen for San Diego Brad hand getting ready to come in for Bob Melvin
00:57:22The pitch
00:57:25The pitch
00:57:37That one fouled off two and two
00:57:46The big lefty turns kicks deals and a foul ball he stays alive
00:57:52Here's the two-two
00:58:00This to center field
00:58:04Gwynn makes his way towards it makes the grab on the run and there's two down
00:58:09Nevada
00:58:15Number two
00:58:16So two down now and here is Ramirez
00:58:22Yeah, we in gold mode
00:58:24Going, going, yeah, we in gold mode
00:58:28Going, going, yeah, we in gold mode
00:58:31First offering and it just misses
00:58:35You want to be patient here try to work a walk if you can
00:58:38You've got a big power bat behind you in the on-deck circle and with two outs
00:58:42One swing can put you right back in this ballgame
00:58:45And that one is lifted in the air
00:58:48Finley makes the catch and that'll do it and the Marlins down quietly and they're down to nothing
00:58:57Number 46 comes on now he's pitching on two days rest
00:59:10Back here at the ballpark now it's the D.H.
00:59:24Number six
00:59:25San Diego
00:59:26The designated hitter
00:59:27Number six
00:59:29Off the plate inside ball one really good run perhaps a little bit too much on that two-seamer couldn't hold the corner
00:59:40Swing and a miss and a count one and one
00:59:51That misses off the outside edge
01:00:00The two-one
01:00:05Top of the zone and it's called a strike
01:00:10Really good cutter that he's able to front door and back door that pitch is devastating
01:00:17The punch out there
01:00:19One out
01:00:20And he'll be beating himself up on the way back to the dugout
01:00:24Got a pitch to hit and just couldn't get to it
01:00:26I think that slider really caught way more of the plate than it was supposed to
01:00:30Steve Finley the next up for the Padres
01:00:40On the ground to the left
01:00:46Tosses to first and a couple of quick outs
01:00:50Now batting the second baseman
01:00:56Orlando Hudson
01:00:59Two outs base is empty now it's the second baseman
01:01:03Orlando Hudson
01:01:04First pitch and he just misses
01:01:13First pitch and he just misses
01:01:13And he deals
01:01:18Just off the outside edge
01:01:23The wind to kick the 2-0
01:01:29Out to short
01:01:33Now the throw to first on the run
01:01:35And it's a 1-2-3 inning
01:01:37Three up three down for San Diego
01:01:39They're up 2-0
01:01:41Set for the last half of the seventh
01:01:54And up to the plate is JT Real U2
01:01:56Jones back to work
01:02:01And fouled off
01:02:04The pitch
01:02:13This one chopped on the ground
01:02:16But fouled
01:02:17The pitch
01:02:25Chases that one out of the zone
01:02:29And now one away
01:02:30Stood absolutely no chance on that slider right there
01:02:34And I don't mean to laugh
01:02:35But that's a tough one
01:02:36I mean pretty much a perfect strikeout pitch
01:02:39I mean it looks like a fastball middle end
01:02:41Kind of has cutter action
01:02:42And it just bunches you up
01:02:44To where you can't get your hands through
01:02:46And the barrel to it
01:02:47And not much you can do
01:02:48Unless you recognize the spin early
01:02:49And you spit on it
01:02:51Number 30
01:02:51Stands in here
01:02:53Takes ball one low
01:03:16The 1-1
01:03:17Good eye right there
01:03:202-1 now
01:03:25Good eye right there
01:03:28This is a really good feeling for a hitter
01:03:31At this point in the ball game
01:03:32You know that they don't want to walk you
01:03:35So you're going to get a pitch to hit
01:03:36You just better not miss it
01:03:37The 3-1
01:03:39Good plate appearance there
01:03:42Able to take the walk
01:03:44Pretty easy walk right there
01:03:46Last pitch wasn't even much to think about
01:03:47Now
01:03:48Now
01:03:50Flip Floyd
01:03:51Now these guys definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here
01:03:57Try to close that gap
01:03:58But you know at the very least
01:03:59If you can find
01:04:00Rudder takes off
01:04:01Little chopper rolls foul
01:04:03The tying run at the plate
01:04:14Foul ball
01:04:16Number 30
01:04:35At first
01:04:36One gone
01:04:37Foul ball there
01:04:42Heel two
01:04:52That to right
01:04:55No trouble here
01:04:57Puts it away for the out
01:04:59And there's two down
01:05:00Maybe caught that one off the end just a little bit
01:05:02Couldn't quite barrel it up enough to really drive it
01:05:04Better fielder
01:05:05Number 9
01:05:06One
01:05:08And up next for Miami
01:05:09Juan Pierre
01:05:10Chris his skill set straight out of the mid 80s
01:05:14Good contact
01:05:15Not much power
01:05:16And he can run
01:05:17He always uses the wheels
01:05:18To his advantage
01:05:20His biggest challenge in this day and age
01:05:23Is to not get caught up in trying to hit home runs
01:05:25Because so many people are
01:05:27Left hand batter waits
01:05:29In for a strike
01:05:31And it's one and one
01:05:33Tying run at the plate
01:05:39In the air
01:05:41Left field
01:05:42Down the line
01:05:43Tracks it down for the out
01:05:45And that will end the inning
01:05:47One left for Miami
01:05:48They trail it here
01:05:502-0
01:05:50We go to the A's
01:06:02Here's the catcher
01:06:03Benito Santiago
01:06:05San Diego
01:06:05This is a guy who is very highly regarded defensively
01:06:09Fun to watch him
01:06:10Control stuff behind the plate
01:06:12Good game caller
01:06:13Good at framing
01:06:14But it's that big arm that really stands out
01:06:16A swing and a miss
01:06:18And that's strike one
01:06:19When you got a catcher
01:06:21Like this guy
01:06:22With a big arm like that
01:06:23Behind the plate
01:06:24It really shuts down the running game
01:06:26The wind and the pitch
01:06:33Going to count one and two
01:06:46When you have a catcher that can throw like that
01:06:49A pitcher doesn't have to worry as much about the slide step
01:06:52He can keep his mechanics intact
01:06:55And have a better opportunity of getting that hitter out
01:06:58With a swing and miss
01:06:59Next pitch has popped up
01:07:05Ramirez makes the play
01:07:09And there's one down
01:07:10Now batting
01:07:12Right fielder
01:07:13Tony
01:07:15Gwynn
01:07:16Tony Gwynn
01:07:18The next up for the Padres
01:07:20I think when you contemplate him as a player
01:07:23The first thing you think about is defense
01:07:25And you think about that great arm
01:07:26I also think about the speed
01:07:28If he can get on
01:07:29That's going to give one more thing
01:07:30For that pitcher to think about
01:07:32Righty delivers
01:07:36Next pitch
01:07:51Misses way outside
01:07:53And here it comes
01:08:05Clearly taking all the way there
01:08:11In that 3-0 count
01:08:12It was a cookie right down the middle
01:08:13Kicks and fires
01:08:16And that one
01:08:19Wrapped foul
01:08:20And that's ball four
01:08:33Didn't miss by much right there
01:08:37Just couldn't get the call
01:08:38Off the inside corner
01:08:39Now batting
01:08:40Now the number two hitter
01:08:42Number 27
01:08:43That one's in there
01:08:550-1
01:08:56Felling it back
01:08:57Can be a little bit of a dance
01:08:58Strike one here
01:08:59But
01:08:59A few more pitches
01:09:01We'll see how it turns out
01:09:02Throw to first
01:09:10Gwen
01:09:11Back on a dive
01:09:121-1
01:09:25And the right hander deals
01:09:41Here's the pitch
01:09:42Runner on the goal
01:09:43Safe at second
01:09:45And that was not close
01:09:47Runner at second
01:09:57Here
01:09:58One gone
01:09:58Line drive
01:10:06That's a base hit
01:10:07Into third now
01:10:10So runners at the corners
01:10:11And one out
01:10:12Having himself a really nice game
01:10:14At the plate
01:10:14Solid swing from start to end
01:10:16On time with everything
01:10:18Really good balance
01:10:19Nice extension
01:10:20And he met it out front
01:10:21For the line drive knock
01:10:22One away
01:10:24Runners at first and third
01:10:25Stepping in for San Diego
01:10:27Adrian Gonzalez
01:10:28First pitch
01:10:30Doesn't find the zone
01:10:31In the infield
01:10:32At the corners
01:10:32Don't be surprised
01:10:33To see them
01:10:34Come home first
01:10:35And prevent that run
01:10:37From scoring
01:10:38Two on
01:10:46One out
01:10:47And a foul ball
01:10:49Righty to the plate
01:11:00And there's a foul ball
01:11:03And a pitch
01:11:32Swing
01:11:34And that ball
01:11:34Smashed
01:11:35Not a line
01:11:36He's got it
01:11:37Runner tags
01:11:38From third
01:11:39Runner from third
01:11:41Comes across
01:11:42And they're up by three
01:11:43That wasn't your standard
01:11:45Sack fly
01:11:45He barreled that baseball
01:11:47Just couldn't get it
01:11:48To drop in
01:11:49Man at first
01:11:57Now it's gonna be
01:11:59Number 31
01:12:00In there
01:12:14And it's
01:12:140-1
01:12:14And the pitch
01:12:27Number 27
01:12:33Off of first
01:12:34With two away
01:12:34Next one is off the plate
01:12:42And it's
01:12:42Two and one
01:12:43Late swing
01:12:54Fouled off
01:12:55The two-two
01:13:06Got him
01:13:08Good job
01:13:09At damage control
01:13:10Right there
01:13:11So a run on one hit
01:13:14No errors
01:13:15And a man left
01:13:15Last half of the eighth
01:13:17Coming up
01:13:17It's the Padres three
01:13:19And the Marlins nothing
01:13:20Into the game now
01:13:27The southpaw
01:13:27Brad Hand
01:13:28And he'll do his best
01:13:30To hang on to this lead
01:13:31He's having an excellent season
01:13:33So far
01:13:34ERA is under two
01:13:35A lot of flexibility
01:13:37Coming out of the bullpen
01:13:39Ready for the bottom of the eighth
01:13:43Here's the second baseman
01:13:44Number 11
01:13:45Feels like it's less common
01:13:48Today
01:13:48That you see a guy like this
01:13:50The speed component
01:13:51The contact component
01:13:53But lack of power
01:13:54About the outside corner
01:13:56And that is strike one
01:13:58I think baseball
01:13:59Starting to understand
01:14:00That those guys are valuable
01:14:01Like they once were
01:14:02They need them in this game today
01:14:04Swing and a tapper
01:14:07He is safe
01:14:10And he beats the thrill
01:14:12By a whisker
01:14:13It was a healthy cut
01:14:15But the same can't be said
01:14:16For the contact
01:14:17He got just enough
01:14:18Of the ball
01:14:19To put it in play
01:14:20And that's all he needed
01:14:21Tough play for the defense
01:14:23On what was kind of
01:14:23A swinging punt
01:14:24And now for the Marlins
01:14:33Miguel Cabrera
01:14:34And the first offering
01:14:41Is not close
01:14:42Runner at first
01:14:50With no outs here
01:14:51So important for him
01:15:01To control the heart rate
01:15:02Right now
01:15:03He's got to go through
01:15:03The heart of this lineup
01:15:05Hand picks to first
01:15:14Back in there standing
01:15:15And that one hit to first
01:15:29They get one
01:15:31Puts the tag on him
01:15:32And it's a double play
01:15:33Gary Sheffield
01:15:46The next up for the Marlins
01:15:48And the first pitch
01:15:53Misses for ball one
01:15:55Well it's critical right here
01:15:56That they bear down
01:15:57And turn in some quality
01:15:58At bats
01:15:59Try to chip away
01:16:00At that lead
01:16:00Because if it gets to the ninth
01:16:02That closer's coming in
01:16:03At the belt and fires
01:16:11In the air
01:16:13In the air
01:16:13In the air out towards right center
01:16:14Finley turns
01:16:15Moving to his left
01:16:16And puts the squeeze
01:16:19On that one
01:16:19And that's the inning
01:16:21We go to the ninth
01:16:34Manny Machado up to the plate
01:16:36Trying to keep that hitting streak alive
01:16:39Ten game hitting streak for the young man
01:16:41Manny Machado
01:16:43The pitch
01:16:45Swing and a foul
01:16:49Pushed off to the right
01:16:50And that will get out of play
01:16:51And the pitch
01:16:58Lifted in the air
01:17:13Right center field
01:17:13Pierre moving to his left
01:17:15Makes the grab
01:17:18One down
01:17:19Now battle
01:17:24Number six
01:17:25Number six
01:17:30The next up
01:17:31For the Padres
01:17:32And that's in there
01:17:44For strike one
01:17:45The wind of the pitch
01:17:50Swing and a miss
01:18:17And he struck him out
01:18:19Two down
01:18:20That's pretty sick
01:18:21Late cutting action
01:18:23To get the swing and miss
01:18:24Right there
01:18:24I mean that's just
01:18:25Really hard to account for
01:18:27As a hitter
01:18:27When you're seeing
01:18:28The fastball all the way
01:18:29And then just at the last moment
01:18:31It darts away from you
01:18:33And you can't reach it
01:18:34Now here is
01:18:36Steve Finley
01:18:37First pitch
01:18:39And that's in for a strike
01:18:41Now one to one
01:18:58Strike two
01:19:06Throwing the ball
01:19:07Throwing the ball well
01:19:07And they need this scoreless inning
01:19:09And relief right here
01:19:10And doing a good job
01:19:11Keeping him in striking distance
01:19:12Swing and a miss
01:19:17Struck him out
01:19:18And good work there
01:19:19As he gets a one
01:19:20Two three
01:19:21Five six and seven
01:19:22Will lead things off
01:19:23In the bottom of the ninth
01:19:24It's the Padres three
01:19:26And the Marlins nothing
01:19:28Back now as they hand the ball
01:19:32To a fresh arm
01:19:33To start the bottom of the ninth
01:19:34Trevor Hoffman
01:19:35And he'll work on
01:19:37Holding this lead
01:19:37Welcome back
01:19:47And now it's
01:19:48Giancarlo Stanton
01:19:49The fish
01:19:50In striking distance
01:19:51But have some work to do
01:19:53Boog
01:19:53It starts with the laid off
01:19:54Man
01:19:54Need a good at bad
01:19:55Out of him right here
01:19:56Here comes a pitch
01:19:58That one inside
01:19:59And that's ball one
01:20:01Right-hander kicks deals
01:20:08That one ripped
01:20:09But foul
01:20:10Smoked into left
01:20:23Base hit
01:20:24So a man on base
01:20:26To start the inning
01:20:27All over that one
01:20:30Right there
01:20:31Absolutely hammered
01:20:32That baseball
01:20:33Very loud
01:20:34Coming off the bat
01:20:35107 was the exit velocity
01:20:37And at that speed
01:20:38It's going to be
01:20:39A great result
01:20:40More often than not
01:20:41And now the shortstop
01:20:43Ramirez
01:20:44First offering
01:20:48Misses the mark
01:20:49All season long
01:20:50He's racked up
01:20:51A number of saves
01:20:52And sometimes
01:20:53The adrenaline
01:20:54Doesn't get high enough
01:20:56Until there's a runner
01:20:57Or two on base
01:20:58But 1-0
01:21:01Rolled softly
01:21:04But that goes foul
01:21:05Stanton
01:21:24A boar here at first
01:21:25With nobody out
01:21:26Swing and a miss
01:21:30Struck him out
01:21:31Now one away
01:21:33Very frustrating
01:21:34Right there
01:21:34As a speedy
01:21:36Potential base runner
01:21:37When
01:21:38With two strikes
01:21:39You just struggle
01:21:40To put the ball in play
01:21:41You don't even have to
01:21:41Get a hit at that point
01:21:42You can help your team
01:21:44Just by reaching
01:21:45On an error
01:21:46But some way
01:21:46You gotta find a way
01:21:47To shorten up the swing
01:21:48And put the ball in play
01:21:49Next time
01:21:49And now it is JT
01:21:53Real Muto
01:21:55For the fourth time tonight
01:21:57That one's in there
01:22:01On one
01:22:01Next offering
01:22:18Is foul back
01:22:19And the righty deals
01:22:30Swing and a miss
01:22:32Struck him out
01:22:33Now only one out remaining
01:22:36Well interesting
01:22:37He's looking very comfortable
01:22:38Out of the stretch
01:22:39After giving up the lead off
01:22:40Single
01:22:41Back to back strikeouts
01:22:42So
01:22:42They haven't been able
01:22:43To move that runner up
01:22:44Get him in the scoring position
01:22:46And try to have a better chance
01:22:47Of scoring
01:22:47I tell you
01:22:48Good job so far
01:22:49On the mound
01:22:49He just needs
01:22:50One more out
01:22:50Number 30
01:22:56In the box
01:22:57With two gone
01:22:58And takes a look
01:22:59At a called strike
01:23:00And a pitch
01:23:09This to third
01:23:12And that'll do it
01:23:14This is just a nice win
01:23:18Three nothing ball game
01:23:20You feel comfortable
01:23:20About the three runs
01:23:21That you score
01:23:22But you also know
01:23:23That if you're not careful
01:23:24A bloop
01:23:25With base hit
01:23:25And a home run
01:23:26Ties everything up
01:23:27But it was great pitching
01:23:28Timely hitting
01:23:29Really made the difference
01:23:30The shutout in this one
01:23:32Three nothing
01:23:33Our final score
01:23:34For Chris Singleton
01:23:35And our entire
