00:00:22And welcome in, everybody.
00:00:23Glad you're with us.
00:00:24Major League Baseball on tap.
00:00:26It's the Chicago White Sox taking on the Baltimore Orioles.
00:00:29Orioles John Chamby alongside Chris Singleton and Chris a guy that's been having a huge impact for
00:00:35this team all year pops Jennings he leads the team and wins above replacement so most days
00:00:40you can expect him to be a big factor for these guys yeah Boogie's definitely a huge piece of the
00:00:46puzzle for this ball club right now is just having a really nice year and that's on both sides of the
00:00:51ball not just offensively you talk to guys in the clubhouse the coaching staff they always have great
00:00:56things to say about him and they say the team really looks to him to be one of the on-field
00:01:00leaders day in and day out just about to get started and the right-hander with the good curveball
00:01:10number 14 yeah Boogie doesn't rely too heavily on the strikeout he knows he needs to miss barrels
00:01:17get some soft contact let the defense do work behind him and I think a guy like that can keep
00:01:22a good tempo don't give hitters time to adjust or think they could move through a ball game and
00:01:27you look up they're in line for a quality start we'll see what he's got in this one and now the
00:01:32center fielder Julis Joe Jackson the wind in the pitch center field Jones on his way over makes the grab
00:01:42on the run and there's one down about a second time to check out the lineup for the White Sox
00:01:51and here's the veteran outfielder Minnie Minoso
00:02:14first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:02:24righty delivers late swing fouled off
00:02:34going to count one and two really will you see a pitcher just to waste a pitch like that the
00:02:48batter wasn't even tempted to swing every pitch needs to have a purpose so that it can set up
00:02:53a following pitch to help you get that out
00:03:00one down base is empty and now the count is even
00:03:13and now it's filled up well he's so great about hitting the ball the other way he gets those arms extended
00:03:19so right there just trying to straighten him up a little bit so he doesn't have as much outside plate coverage
00:03:27the punch out there two away
00:03:31been a pretty rough start to this series for him at the plate three strikeouts in the first game yesterday
00:03:35another one right there they clearly got a great plan for how to deal with this guy right now
00:03:40Frank Thomas steps to the plate for the White Sox another solid power season now this one is smoked down the left field line on its way of its fair out of here
00:03:58power versus power right there like two locomotives colliding who's gonna win
00:04:28well a really good job there by the hitter getting the top hand working powers that fastball out of here
00:04:37batting for the designated hitter pitch misses inside 1-0
00:04:43ball game
00:04:56kicks and deals
00:04:59ground ball left side
00:05:02on to murray that's out number three
00:05:06but the white socks get one on a homer it's now a one nothing ball game
00:05:13bottom of the first and today's starting pitcher
00:05:31wood and chris he's a guy that gets better when things get tough
00:05:36yes batting average against is actually better when he's in a jam so we'll see if he continues to dance
00:05:41his way out of danger
00:05:46we go to the bottom of the first and into the box for baltimore number six
00:05:51it's amazing we get a chance to talk the right to a lot of opposing managers this guy scares
00:05:57managers on the other team as much as anyone and he gets to fly beneath the radar with the other more
00:06:03recognizable names in this lineup not in time and he reaches safely
00:06:10it doesn't surprise anyone when he gets on base by dropping down a bond i mean
00:06:14this is just the latest example of him using his speed to his advantage and
00:06:18showing off his skills with the bat that was very nice
00:06:22now here is pops jennings good contact guy good defender
00:06:27oh and one
00:06:35number six on at first nobody out pick off throw
00:06:48runner yes there goes the runner it's a pitch out throw to second great jump well i'm sure they're
00:06:54pretty frustrated they guessed right on the pitch out the throw was okay but they still couldn't
00:06:59cut him down aside from a bad jump they stood no chance at catching him right there
00:07:12the one one and there's a foul ball
00:07:24next pitch misses two and two you see how the catcher wanted that pitch up and in want to try
00:07:32to tie him up that's the one thing we're seeing that high fastball you have to get it up there because
00:07:37of how hitters have changed their swings swing and a miss struck him out one out well classic pitch
00:07:44sequencing there to change eye levels for the punch out that fastball on the pitch before it was
00:07:48off it was very competitive and that gets you thinking that he might try to climb the ladder but then the
00:07:53curveball out of that same tunnel just falls off the table and you can't make contact
00:07:59so next to hit for baltimore frank robinson
00:08:07and that's in there for strike one hitters got some good opposite field power what i like about
00:08:12something being hit to the right side into the outfield is that the base runner at second has a
00:08:18very good read and can determine whether or not he can score on that base hit
00:08:23swing and a high fly ball out there towards left field
00:08:29he makes the grab and there's two down
00:08:31all right let's take a look at the orioles lineup now one guy swinging a hot bat recently cal ripton
00:08:43junior no boo clearly he's just one of the best hitters to ever play this game being a member of
00:08:48the 3000 hit club just a true professional hitter i know we use that term but this guy is just the epitome
00:08:55of it's so much fun to watch him swing the bat and just work a pitcher you can learn so much about the
00:09:01art of hitting from just watching this guy go about his business
00:09:10here's a drive out to right center way back there look out gone
00:09:15he sends it out of here is 26th of the year it's 2-1
00:09:34that one was a hanger and pitchers typically don't get away with making a mistake like that
00:09:45and right there he made him pay
00:09:48and next for the orioles cal ripton jr batting fish not shortstop cal ripton foul off down the
00:10:06right side we'll always know cal ripton for the streak but he was about so much more than that
00:10:11he really changed the way we think about the shortstop position
00:10:18and that's a base hit so a two out knock
00:10:48keeps the inning alive
00:10:51seems like he got exactly what he was looking for right there
00:10:55anytime you rip a line drive the other way you feel
00:10:57really good about what you did at the plate you trusted your hands
00:11:01you let the ball travel and you took the barrel straight to it that's great work right there
00:11:06now it's going to be brooks robinson in there and it's on one
00:11:18and there's a strike looks like he's just sizing him up there really good pitch to hit but he took it all the way
00:11:32sometimes guys just want to set their timing later on in the game that may be a pitch that he turns on
00:11:49next pitch is popped up
00:11:52next pitch is popped up
00:11:56and puts the squeeze on that one and that is that
00:11:59baltimore with a two-run shot this inning and this is now a 2-1 ball game
00:12:14back here in baltimore second inning set to go and here is harold baynes
00:12:19the right fielder number three well after putting up a nice inning on offense got some runs across
00:12:24this is where you look for the starter to go out there have a shutdown inning don't give that other
00:12:29team any hope you just hope that he can get through this inning get the bats back up there while they're hot
00:12:34lifted in the air right center field
00:12:36and it's caught for the out
00:12:46batting six the second baseman nelly fox and now the rookie second baseman nelly fox his july and august splits there
00:13:06in there for strike one
00:13:17the wind of the pitch
00:13:20and that one a little bit high
00:13:22gary simmons our plate umpire today sort of has a reputation as a pitcher's umpire yeah a little bit of
00:13:28a wider zone than most i'd say and a wide zone can be tough to deal with as a hitter because you have
00:13:33to start expanding what you're looking for covering both sides and with the stuff guys have today
00:13:38you're just not going to have a lot of success no trouble here puts it away for the out and there
00:13:44there are two outs the third baseman number 23
00:13:59first pitch just misses that's where you want it's a good miss but why to kick the pitch
00:14:18pitch and the one oh miss is low
00:14:34left hand hitter waits there's a strike
00:14:38next offering is outside
00:14:46next offering is outside
00:14:56on the ground right side jennings gloves it
00:15:04gathers and throws to first and it's a one two three inning we go to the bottom of inning number two
00:15:11two it's the orioles two and the white sox one
00:15:21leading off for the orioles the designated hitter number 11.
00:15:35good back to work
00:15:42swings and misses strike one
00:15:49that's down and in
00:16:061-0
00:16:16next pitch misses outside the count now two and two
00:16:30swing and a ball lifted to center field jackson puts it away one up one down
00:16:51batting it
00:16:52the center field so up next adam jones good defender he's been inconsistent offensively
00:17:06first pitch doesn't find the zone
00:17:12kicks and fires
00:17:17and now it's even up
00:17:21that's out number two
00:17:34just pulled off of it a little bit right there that front shoulder coming open instead of staying
00:17:39closed if he does that he's going to be able to go up the middle the other way with some authority
00:17:44instead of a fly out to left
00:17:47stepping in number three
00:17:56and that one pulled foul
00:18:06chew down nobody on
00:18:08down the line towards the corner
00:18:15makes a nice running catch
00:18:16and that'll do it we head on down to the top of the third it's the orioles two and the white sox one
00:18:23out of the third inning and stepping in is the speedy number four this guy is an elite level hitter
00:18:34especially considering contact just the ability to hit for average what you really like though
00:18:40stays in against those righties and that's not so easy as a right-handed batter and there's one down
00:18:46batting nut the catcher number 12 number 12 steps to the plate for the white sox
00:19:00first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:19:14right-hander kicks deals
00:19:17up the middle ripton handles fires over to first first two batters retired here in the top of the third
00:19:25now batting the center fielder shoeless joe jackson and the batter now shoeless joe jackson oh for one with a fly out
00:19:43next pitch downstairs ball one
00:19:46just missed when you get ahead in the count there's no doubt that the success rate goes up
00:19:58and that's what he's been doing it's made a big impact for him in recent games
00:20:06the 2-0 is in for a strike
00:20:08left hand batter weights looked like it was a little bit up
00:20:28the 3-1
00:20:31that one ripped
00:20:34and it's off the wall but foul
00:20:36his eyes got big he saw that change up way out in front
00:20:40better to pull it than to get jammed on something off speed like that
00:20:45next pitch has popped up ripton makes the catch and that'll do it nothing doing for the white sox
00:20:52and our score remains 2-1
00:20:54back now at orio park set for the bottom of the third now here is number six this is a guy you got
00:21:08to keep an eye on when he digs in definitely been known to drop a drag bunt from time to time and he's
00:21:14pretty good at it chris yeah and he creates a sense of urgency for the defense because of the speed
00:21:20because of the ability to put down that bar and makes the grab and there's one down
00:21:27pops jennings will hit next this guy wanted the best contact men in the sport as well outstanding on
00:21:35the defensive end
00:21:40and the first pitch misses for ball one now you see even sluggers from time to time try and use
00:21:46the bunt really as a way to beat the shift
00:21:50next one misses now two and oh
00:22:01here comes a pitch
00:22:05misses with the 2-0 and he's fired three straight outside the strike zone
00:22:20and now three and one
00:22:32grabs it barehanded gathers and throws and that's a great play for the out
00:22:39the left fielder number 20
00:22:40frank robinson the next to hit for the orioles he's a guy who does it all with the lack of contact
00:22:52in today's game this guy hits for contact so he delivers average but there's on base and slugging too
00:23:00first offering misses badly for ball one early in the count you have to be real careful because of that
00:23:06power but then if this hitter gets a strike or two on him he's still very comfortable because he has
00:23:11the ability to get the barrel to the baseball he's a threat deep into the count as well
00:23:15and here comes
00:23:28that one misses and it's two and one
00:23:35the two one
00:23:40turned on but that's foul down the third baseline
00:23:42that one clubbed out towards left center that'll be extra bases and that's gonna roll to the wall
00:24:04and he's got a double
00:24:06drove that ball nicely put a great swing on it and it jumped off his back kind of put it all together
00:24:12there and he's rewarded with the double
00:24:21here's the orio cleanup hitter eddie murray kind of a throwback no batting gloves
00:24:28that one's in there on one the strategy of winning a ball game when you could make that pitcher work a
00:24:34little more expose himself by throwing pitches that can be the key to winning perhaps later on so
00:24:39good job of extending this inning getting a knock with two outs to bring the number four hole hitter up
00:24:53runner leads away at second high fly ball right field baines settles under makes the play and it's out
00:25:07number three and the orioles leave one as they're unable to add to their 2-1 lead
00:25:12out of the fourth and here is mini minoso
00:25:26it's good speed at the top of the order here you want to get it on see if you can get a stolen base
00:25:30maybe get around the bases and pick up a run the right hander back to work
00:25:35that's through there for a strike they'll impress that he went right after him on that first pitch
00:25:42that's the key try to get ahead in the count and you can play around a little bit more as it bat expands
00:25:47and he'll one
00:25:53fouled off he was late
00:26:06next pitch is outside
00:26:12and he deals
00:26:17trying to count two and two
00:26:31line drive and that's a base hit out into center field
00:26:34solo runner aboard to start the inning
00:26:38always feels amazing getting a job done when the team needs you to come through it's just bigger than
00:26:43your own individual stats just a cookie down the middle i mean those are the ones you dream about
00:26:48ones in the cage you're just hoping you get in the ball game right down the middle not a whole lot of
00:26:52velocity right on top of it and now they've got some speed on first so we'll see if they try to get him into motion
00:27:00digging in frank thomas in there and it's on one well he's been incredibly efficient this one
00:27:06first pitch strike percentage over 70 percent that's well above league average and that's what's
00:27:11allowed him to pitch well up until this point
00:27:17at the belt and fires pitch misses and one and one you don't want to get beat by a fastball in
00:27:24and he spits on that one runner at first with no outs here
00:27:35swing and a high fly ball that one out towards left center field way back there and out of here
00:27:52they thought he could blow a high fastball by him but he was ready for it look at how quickly
00:28:08he jumped on that pitch
00:28:18now at the plate paul canerco this guy has turned into a beast
00:28:24and he swings and misses at the initial offering can be tough to bounce back after a big home run but
00:28:30nobody on nobody out you just have to treat it as a fresh inning
00:28:38the pitch
00:28:41just missed
00:28:42next offering is in for a strike well he looks fresh out there just needs to get a little more
00:28:56confidence and remember how good he's been in the past
00:29:00here's a one two
00:29:09now fly ball to right center number six settles under this one puts the squeeze on it one down
00:29:16the right fielder number three harold
00:29:26so digging in harold baynes
00:29:29chris you played here in 2002 what are the memories that stand out as to being a member of
00:29:36the baltimore orioles for me it was just pulling into the parking lot and having those that were there
00:29:41with a an encouraging smile or a pat on the back regardless of how things were going
00:29:46it made it a lot easier to come to the ballpark whether you're doing well or you were struggling
00:29:51and then the way that they treated your family i mean this is a great place to play
00:29:55and i'd say it's got to be one of the top places in all of baseball
00:29:59the batter number two second baseman nelly and next to hit for the socks nelly
00:30:06hit it well but flied out to the deepest part of the outfield his first time
00:30:11and that one in the air center field jones racing over to make the catch
00:30:21but the white socks with a two-run homer it's now a three two ball game
00:30:34back here at the ballpark john chompy and chris singleton with you
00:30:37and leading off the bottom of the fourth cal ripton jr the shortstop
00:30:55the pitch
00:30:55just off the outside edge and you had a cameo in the movie money ball as
00:31:05an orioles player in a highlight clip the lefty the 1-0
00:31:10and it's fouled away
00:31:23and a 1-1
00:31:28and another ball
00:31:29and one gone to the fourth as they get the lead off man good late life on that inside
00:31:47fastball ran in on the hands and got that weak contact little slow grounder to get the out
00:31:51of it brooks robinson the next to hit for the orioles
00:32:10bounced up the middle and there's a hit so a man aboard now with one away
00:32:14he needed out one it's been a tough stretch at the plate lately couldn't get any air under it but
00:32:23he smoked that ball back up the middle timing was just perfect got great wood on it and there's just
00:32:28no chance for the infielders with how hard he hit it man at first with one gone here's a speed threat
00:32:34number 11. the kick in the pitch runner goes that's a hit
00:32:44back-to-back singles pitch was away and he did exactly what you're supposed to do with it
00:32:49drive it the other way just go with the pitch
00:32:58and into the box for baltimore adam jones
00:33:04first offering misses the mark
00:33:23and the pitch
00:33:25and that one hit to first and it's through for a hit
00:33:29throwback in holds the runner at third base is now loaded only one away
00:33:36now that at bat had a lot riding on it's certainly a pivotal swing of the bat in this ball game
00:33:41just a simple ground ball the other way that had eyes on it man sometimes that's all you need
00:33:46to do just let the ball travel put the ball in play and just hope it finds a hole now a great
00:33:50opportunity to at least tie up this game with something like a sack fly or an error in the infield
00:33:55but another hit to the outfield could absolutely end it well he's just given up three straight hits
00:34:01and now behind in this count to this hitter might be a good time for somebody to call a timeout maybe
00:34:06the pitching coach go out there and talk to him just a little bit pitch misses and it's 2-0 pressure's
00:34:12on right here 2-0 count base is loaded you don't want to fall to a three ball count and then walk in
00:34:18and are on he's got to challenge the hitter right here
00:34:23and a pitch that one missed now three and oh he's looking for a ground ball to get a double play and
00:34:30out of this jam number five the runner at third number 11 at second number 10 at first one gone
00:34:39and a 3-0 finds his own i think ultimately you want to tie him up get the ball in on the plate so
00:34:48that he can't get the barrel to it and hit it to the outfield fouls one away and now three and two
00:34:54the pitch fouled off again and it remains three and two
00:35:19stays alive
00:35:24good battle here about to be the eighth pitch of the at bat
00:35:33on the ground could be two off balance feed there's one throw the first but he beat it
00:35:46i promise you they're guys that get a little bit faster when they can smell an rbi that was a
00:35:50possible ending ending double play great hustle and he gets rewarded with the rbi because of it
00:36:09number six the next to hit for the orioles now better number six
00:36:14first pitch doesn't find the zone
00:36:27corners are occupied with two down
00:36:28and it's even up i think he was a little excited there saw the fastball but needed a step ladder to
00:36:41get to that one it's gonna have to tighten it back up he wants to have a good at bat checks over to first
00:36:46back safely
00:36:56the one one and that one fouled off
00:37:00runners on first and third two away
00:37:06and a foul baldy stays alive
00:37:20lefty out of the stretch runners at first and third
00:37:27and a ball evens account this guy's a fun guy to watch taking it bad he just battles up there he
00:37:34doesn't take a pitch off at all makes it so difficult on the pitchers out there you can tell they get
00:37:39frustrated with how long it takes to put him away in the air to left center lays out oh it's off his glove
00:37:47now the throw comes in runner holds it third a perfect example right there that plate discipline
00:37:54it pays off the deeper he gets into account the more comfortable he becomes and he usually wins the battle
00:38:03so next to hit for baltimore pops jennings the batter number 15 second baseman
00:38:11next offering is down low ball one
00:38:16two outs two in scoring position
00:38:30swing and a high fly ball down the left field line but hooking foul
00:38:42the next offering misses and a count two and one
00:39:02base hit one run is in
00:39:06another scores two runs in on the play and they're up by three
00:39:11picks himself up a couple of ribbies
00:39:13kind of got it off the end of the bat as he punched up the middle there
00:39:16maybe pulled off that outside pitch just a little bit but he stayed on it long enough to get something on it
00:39:24frank
00:39:25robinson getting ready to hit
00:39:27a guy who makes an impact not just at the plate but also in the field
00:39:32and there's something you don't see very much
00:39:34the pitch in today's game the pitch out
00:39:42next offering upstairs
00:39:56on the base pass he handles the bat very well i wouldn't be surprised if the skipper puts on
00:40:02some type of hit and run or run and hit
00:40:04here's the pitch run around the goal there's the ball throw save that's a stolen base
00:40:17well that steel right there is wanting to take advantage of having a really good hitter at the
00:40:21plate now they've got a much better shot at bringing home a two out rbi
00:40:25it's only ever too much to know
00:40:31let's see if he gives them anything to hit here and ball four to a board
00:40:36maybe a little loss of focus on the mound right there pretty much gifted in first base with a quick free
00:40:41pass now eddie murray one for two with a two-run homer back in the first
00:40:54in there for strike one not what he's looking for there in the o-o count
00:40:59looks like he wants the ball down in the zone two outs a couple of base runners at first and second
00:41:05here's a high drive from murray deep to right pulls it in on the warning track
00:41:17nine men come to the plate four score on to the top of the fifth we go it's the orioles six and the
00:41:24white sox three
00:41:31and welcome back here's the third baseman number 23 leading off for the white sox the third baseman
00:41:38number 23 the line of the pitch that one inside and that's ball one
00:41:44and the righty deals
00:41:52in the air left side robinson makes the grab and there's one away
00:41:59the batter number four
00:42:02and now the shortstop number four when he steps into the batter's box the comfort level looks so high
00:42:09it doesn't matter what kind of delivery that pitcher has what kind of velocity what kind of
00:42:13secondary stuff he is so settled in there he owns the home plate area
00:42:29the pitch
00:42:33this one popped up he's got it and there's two away
00:42:37here's the catcher number 12. he's not the power guy but he can hurt you to all parts of the ballpark
00:42:57this is important if he can go one two three here will be a very positive sign for him and for his team
00:43:04first pitch and he just misses
00:43:12hit in the air right field number six settles underneath it makes the catch
00:43:18and that'll do it down in order go the white sox and they're still doubled up it's six to three
00:43:24back now to start the bottom of the fifth and taking over on the mound number 18 number and his job
00:43:36is to collect quick outs and keep his team within striking distance
00:43:40well at this point of the ball game we're talking about middle innings and
00:43:44a little length out of this arm coming out of the bullpen we'll see just how many outs
00:43:49he's able to give his skipper welcome back we head to the bottom of the fifth stepping in the sluggy
00:43:55shortstop cow ripton jr
00:43:57the pitch
00:44:07that's in there that's strike one
00:44:18and there's a fly ball deep right field that one back there
00:44:29oh and two now
00:44:33now this one's crushed down the line hooking foul ball well he's ready for that fastball right there
00:44:39really turned on it hit it hard had the distance but just too much hook to it so might want to make a
00:44:45little bit of an adjustment let it travel a little more and see if you can keep that thing fair
00:44:51a little bloop single off to a good start with a lead off dot
00:44:55hitting is really easy for some guys one thing that i can see already his bat stays in the zone
00:45:01on plane for an extended period of time and guys like that they have a high contact rate and they have
00:45:08more barrels because of that bat being on plane and even when you don't get it great it's still hit
00:45:14hard enough to dunk something in like that in front of the center fielder at the play brooks robinson
00:45:28throw over to first and he dives back in safely
00:45:43the 1-0
00:45:44and now two and nothing is that one missed below the knees activity in the pen for the white sox
00:45:51number 56 preparing to come on if needed
00:45:56ripkin aboard here at first with nobody out
00:46:05next pitch has popped up
00:46:07and in fair territory frank makes the grab robinson retire and there's one down
00:46:21one down
00:46:23now it's the dh number 11.
00:46:35now it's the dh number 11.
00:46:41first offering and it just misses always tough to turn two on a speedster like this it's even
00:46:51harder with him coming out of the left-handed batter's box you really need something to hit
00:46:55hard on the ground that they can handle to turn too quickly next offering is in for a strike
00:47:01and a pitch so now one and two
00:47:15swing and a miss the velocity blasted it right past him
00:47:35digging in it's the speedy outfielder adam jones
00:47:45and the first pitch misses for ball one
00:48:05fouled off left side
00:48:15two outs
00:48:19strike two
00:48:29righty to the plate
00:48:35on the ground right side
00:48:39on the ground right side and he can't come up with it
00:48:43but they get the out at first and that'll do it for the inning
00:48:46we're through five it's the oriole six and the white sox three
00:48:53back now at oriole park top six
00:48:57stepping in the white sox lead off man shoeless joe jackson
00:49:01and the pitch
00:49:03ball one no strikes
00:49:15and the center jones gliding back
00:49:26calls it in and there's one away well on the mound very efficient able to produce an outcome it seems like within the third or fourth pitch of just about every bat
00:49:35minnow so
00:49:39mini minnow so steps to the plate for the white sox
00:49:49and first offering is fouled off
00:49:51and first offering is fouled off
00:49:55the wind of the pitch
00:49:59the wind of the pitch
00:50:03base knock center field
00:50:09pitch
00:50:13pitch was in and off the plate so
00:50:15hard to do anything with the pitch in that location
00:50:17but somehow he got the barrel
00:50:19to it and hit it well pretty amazing
00:50:25here's a big power threat frank thomas
00:50:27he's got a couple homers already so
00:50:29can he possibly do it again
00:50:31come on man of course he can those two
00:50:33he hit were legit and he looks pretty
00:50:35locked in right now at the day
00:50:37now
00:50:47these guys definitely looking for a big swing
00:50:49of the bat right here try to close that
00:50:51gap but you know at the very least if you
00:50:53could find a way to manufacture that run
00:50:55from first it feels like it's really important
00:50:57to getting back into this ball game
00:50:59that one
00:51:13missed talk about the right guy at the right spot
00:51:15they really need a rally and this guy is someone you can believe in to find a way to get on base
00:51:31swing and a ball popped up
00:51:41base hit throw into third
00:51:43and he's out
00:51:45in this situation with a single to right field the runner at first cannot try to make it to third you've got to get back into this ball game and every base runner counts
00:52:01next is the designated hitter
00:52:03next is the designated hitter Paul Canerco
00:52:07first off ring misses the mark
00:52:09first off ring misses the mark
00:52:13and the right hander deals
00:52:29he's clearly trying to work him away here both pitches off the plate if you really want to put the ball in play you're going to have to stay back and drive it to the opposite field
00:52:41kicks
00:52:45kicks and fires
00:52:47that one spoiled and
00:52:49the count now two and one
00:52:59and he deals
00:53:01on the ground
00:53:03on to Murray
00:53:05that's the third out
00:53:07nine one and two scheduled to hit the home half of the sixth
00:53:09home half of the sixth
00:53:11it's the Orioles six
00:53:13and the White Sox three
00:53:19well we go bottom six
00:53:21here's the speedy catcher number three
00:53:23leading off
00:53:25for the Orioles
00:53:27the catcher
00:53:29number three
00:53:31the why to kick the pitch
00:53:33and that one just misses
00:53:35a ball and no strikes
00:53:37and that's downstairs and outside
00:53:45two balls
00:53:47no strikes
00:53:49the wind and the pitch
00:53:51and it is two and one
00:53:55right hander kicks deals
00:53:59smoked on the ground a second
00:54:09sends it to first
00:54:11and that's one out as they get the lead off hitter in the sixth
00:54:13now
00:54:15number six
00:54:21number six the next to hit for the Orioles
00:54:23and the first pitch misses in the dirt
00:54:35right handed reliever
00:54:37right handed reliever
00:54:41pulls out one foul
00:54:51left hand hitter weights
00:54:55this to third
00:54:57throw over to Thomas
00:54:59Thomas two up two down
00:55:03now back second baseman

00:55:11first pitch doesn't find the zone
00:55:25two down nobody on
00:55:29swing and a pop up
00:55:31Fox settles underneath it
00:55:33and that ends the inning
00:55:35Orioles held in check there
00:55:39as they're unable to add to their
00:55:416-3 lead
00:55:51we go to the top of the seventh
00:55:53and now Harold Baines
00:55:55leading off for the White Sox
00:55:57in striking distance but have some work to do
00:55:59Boog it starts with the laid off man
00:56:01need a good at bat out of him right here
00:56:08the pitch
00:56:11there's the strike
00:56:12they're only saying it's the best pitch in baseball
00:56:13strike one
00:56:14you get ahead on a good hitter as well
00:56:16gives a little bit more confidence to move through the at bat
00:56:26the 0-1 is outside
00:56:27and it's a ball and a strike
00:56:28bullpen activity starting up now
00:56:30Tippy Martinez
00:56:32the lefty looks to be getting himself ready
00:56:34Britton warming up as well
00:56:42and here comes
00:56:45slap the other way
00:56:46foul
00:56:47got her
00:57:00now one away
00:57:01well that'll make you smile out there on the mound
00:57:04or maybe pump out your chest a little bit farther
00:57:07that's about as good of a backdoor curveball
00:57:09as you'll ever see
00:57:10right on the black
00:57:11and not surprisingly
00:57:12just locked him up in the box
00:57:14Nellie Fox steps to the plate for the White Sox
00:57:29first pitch
00:57:31just misses
00:57:32left-hand batter waits
00:57:46swings and misses
00:57:47and a count one and one
00:57:50and a count one and one
00:57:54the pitch
00:57:57bunting for a hit
00:58:01Robinson throws the first in time
00:58:03they handle the bunt and get the out
00:58:05well I'm pretty sure he took a look around the infield
00:58:07to see where they were playing before laying that one down
00:58:10and everyone is playing back you assume that's going to be a pretty easy knock
00:58:13but he just couldn't put it down in the right spot to allow him to beat that out
00:58:17maybe the right idea but he just couldn't pull it off
00:58:20foul ball there
00:58:21the pitch
00:58:34the pitch
00:58:38stays alive
00:58:53and the pitch
00:59:03stays alive
00:59:06now there's a pitch we haven't seen in a while
00:59:09it's going to be tough on the hitters if he could mix that in whenever he wants
00:59:13cut on and miss struck him out
00:59:20third out
00:59:21one two three go the White Sox
00:59:23and can't cut into that 6-3 deficit
00:59:26back here at the ballpark bottom of the seventh now it's the power speed combo Frank Robinson
00:59:39with this kind of lead he can swing freely try to hit the ball out of the park do what he loves to do
00:59:44the wind of the pitch
00:59:47misses outside and that's ball one
00:59:51right he delivers
01:00:08right he delivers
01:00:10and that's in for a strike
01:00:12and that's in for a strike
01:00:17the pitch
01:00:19good eye right there
01:00:23well you put good velocity in the head of the hitter he's got to get it ready early and then change speeds keep him off balance that's the goal
01:00:38well you put good velocity in the head of the hitter he's got to get it ready early and then change speeds keep him off balance that's the goal
01:00:53out in front and foul to the left side
01:01:03and the righty deals
01:01:07that misses and the count is filled up
01:01:21the 3-2 is off the outside edge and that is ball four
01:01:25well you know this guy wants to swing it but he's showing some good patience in this one
01:01:30it's the second time he's taking ball four
01:01:32next to switch hitting first baseman Eddie Murray
01:01:35and it was a homer back in the first inning that got his day started at the plate
01:01:39yeah Booga two run blasts his fans were just still getting into their seats here at the ballpark
01:01:44so if you showed up late to this one you missed out on a big moment early on
01:01:48and that's in there for strike one
01:01:54there was a high velocity fastball in the zone
01:01:57I think a little frustration from walking the previous hitter
01:02:00he's got good stuff pitch inside the zone and trust it
01:02:03next offering is in for a strike
01:02:12Robinson gets his lead at first with nobody out
01:02:18the next pitch misses and the count is one and two
01:02:22that's a really good job of laying off the 0-2 high fastball is going to make that pitcher really have to respect this hitter even though he's behind in the count
01:02:38and now two and two
01:02:45and a foul Baldy stays alive
01:02:49high fly ball out of the left center field
01:03:05makes the grab and there's one down
01:03:08makes the grab and there's one down
01:03:14now that
01:03:16not shortstop
01:03:18cow ripton junior the next to hit for the Orioles
01:03:21he's got the power but great contact skills one of the best contact hitters in the game
01:03:27first pitch and that's in for a strike
01:03:34oh one's the count
01:03:40and the right hater deals
01:03:43inside just missed curveball kind of backed up on him there I think it just slid out of the hand a little bit too soon
01:03:50next offering is in for a strike
01:04:04pretty rare location right there right down the middle this guy paints the edges
01:04:09I'm not sure if you're gonna see that pitch again as a hitter
01:04:16move to first
01:04:18Robinson back on a dive
01:04:22the one two
01:04:31the one two
01:04:33Liner caught it second
01:04:35the third baseman number five
01:04:41Brooks Robinson
01:04:48man at first Brooks Robinson the next to hit
01:04:54line drive caught
01:05:08one left for the Orioles
01:05:10but they still lead at 6-3
01:05:15tippy Martinez will take over here and he'll work on holding this lead
01:05:25number 23 tippy Martinez
01:05:35we go to the eighth and the batter will be the shortstop
01:05:38number four
01:05:40well it's critical right here that they bear down and turn in some quality at bats
01:05:44try to chip away at that lead because if it gets to the ninth that closer is coming in
01:05:50the pitch
01:05:52strike one
01:05:54well on paper it's favorable to have a fairly quick inning here with two of the three hitters he's set to face batting from the left side
01:06:01same side he throws from
01:06:04line
01:06:06liner base hit
01:06:11now better and up next for Chicago number 12
01:06:23in there and it's all in one
01:06:30here comes the pitch
01:06:41ground ball right side could be two fires to second for one how about that double play
01:06:47back to the top of the White Sox lineup so up next for Chicago
01:07:02shoeless Joe Jackson
01:07:04strike one
01:07:09and now the lefty
01:07:17puts it in the air out towards left center oh he dropped it
01:07:24and he'll pull into second with two gone
01:07:31man it scored position with two away and now mini Minoso for the fourth time tonight
01:07:38this one popped up
01:07:45foul ground first base side
01:07:48Murray makes the catch and that'll do it
01:07:52the White Sox leave one and they're still doubled up
01:07:56it's six to three
01:08:11pitching change here number 56 it's his job to keep his team in the game
01:08:26back here in Baltimore out of the bottom of the eighth and now the DH number 11
01:08:43for the Orioles
01:08:45the designated hitter
01:08:46number 11
01:08:50the big lefty turns kicks deals
01:08:53and a pitch a little bit low
01:08:55ball one
01:08:56meanwhile
01:08:57activity in the bullpen
01:08:59a right-hander appears to be getting loose
01:09:02and a pitch
01:09:07good eye right there
01:09:11kicks and deals
01:09:26that one down the line and it goes just foul
01:09:36here's a 2-1
01:09:40comes up empty that strike two
01:09:45and he deals
01:09:49hit weakly on the ground towards second
01:09:51now the throw to first on the run
01:09:53leadoff man is out here in the eighth
01:09:55and the batter down Adam Jones one for three
01:10:07first offering and it just misses
01:10:14and another ball
01:10:27the wind to the pitch
01:10:31slice to right and foul ball
01:10:37the wind to kick the pitch
01:10:54swing and a miss struck him out two out I think he might have gotten away with one right there that was a
01:10:56very hittable pitch
01:11:09right over the heart of the plate and I know that batter is kicking himself right now would like to get that pitch again just pulled the string on it and the deception gets in the king and now it's going to be number three in there for strike one
01:11:15kicks and fires
01:11:38base
01:11:57right for you
01:11:58right for you
01:12:00right for you
01:12:02love how he let that ball travel trusted his hands nice job of going the other way
01:12:09back to the top of the lineup number six the next to hit for the Orioles
01:12:17oh and now a wild pitch nice job behind the plate there
01:12:38and a pitch off the mark there and the count is 2-0
01:12:44no
01:12:51that one the other way makes the grab and that's the inning and the Orioles leave one as they're unable to add to their 6-3 lead
01:12:59back now and on the mound the closer Greg Olsen the offense will need to be ready for the breaking stuff he's got a great curveball
01:13:18a great curveball
01:13:25and welcome back all set for the start of the unit now here is Frank Thomas
01:13:31the first base number 35 Frank Thomas the pitch that one finds the zone it's 0-1
01:13:46right handed reliever and that one missing low
01:13:53right hander kicks deals
01:14:08way to lay off that fastball up right there you're looking for something you see well that you can handle but you also have to keep the discipline so that you're not popping up pitches that are just a little too high
01:14:20too high looks it away for the out
01:14:27the bat
01:14:29the bat
01:14:30the designated hitter
01:14:31stepping in the long ball threat Paul Canerco
01:14:34that one's in their own one well so many hard throwing relievers in the game these days you would think that guys have made the adjustment but I don't know if you ever get used to it just pumping gas out of the bullpen so hard to play catch up next pitch misses and now it's
01:14:41even one and one
01:14:48at the belton fires
01:14:50at the belton fires
01:14:52at the belton fires
01:14:53at the belton fires
01:14:54and there's a ball
01:15:09misses outside three and one
01:15:24righty to the plate
01:15:28righty to the plate
01:15:30righty to the plate
01:15:34righty to the plate
01:15:38and he walked him
01:15:41well that's a really good take right there and that's just mentally prepared knowing that if it's not on a tee you're going to take that pitch because you still have one more strike to work with not easy to lay off but he did an excellent job in that plate appearance
01:15:57and that one fouled off
01:16:04and that one fouled off
01:16:16the 0-1
01:16:17he swings and fouls one off
01:16:20here's the 0-2
01:16:31here's the 0-2
01:16:32and fouled off
01:16:35and a pitch
01:16:45and one and two
01:16:47swing and a miss struck him out
01:16:58that's the second out
01:17:00though blue it becomes pretty difficult as a teammate with a guy struggling like this you don't know if you want to go up and tell him to keep swinging it or if you want to give him his space what exactly he needs but right now it's clearly a struggle for him and you're just hoping that somehow some way it'll click and he can get out of this as quickly as possible
01:17:16here's the second baseman Nellie Fox
01:17:27pitch misses inside and it's 1-0
01:17:29swings through that
01:17:44swings through that
01:17:47left hand hitter waits
01:17:57going to count one and two
01:17:59well he went inside a couple of times
01:18:01and now outside
01:18:02hitters not exactly sure where to look for this next pitch
01:18:14one and two now
01:18:15and a sling and a miss
01:18:18and that is the ball game
01:18:20every team wants a reliable closer
01:18:22and that's exactly what he delivers
01:18:24for his squad
01:18:25they expect to win when he's on the mound at the end of the ball game
01:18:28and he just produced his 25th save of the year
01:18:316-3 our final score
