00:00:19weekend set it's the Colorado Rockies and the Chicago Cubs alongside Chris Singleton I'm John
00:00:25so the Chicago Cubs are in position to sweep this three-game series with a win so Chris
00:00:32what's their mindset heading into today yeah looking to go three for three blue they've
00:00:36already won the series and now they can really leave their mark it's all about having confidence
00:00:41and that's what a team takes away from a sweep so they're happy to win the series but they'll
00:00:46really be riding high tomorrow with the win today and we'll be back for the first pitch right after
00:00:50this ready to go now and our starting pitcher here today number 17 yes batting average against is
00:01:00actually better when he's in a jam so we'll see if he continues to dance his way out of danger
00:01:12so just about set now and a batter now number two leading off the afternoon the shortstop
00:01:19number two and the pitch that one hammered center field that's back there pulls it in on the
00:01:33warning track batting second here's Bud Black's lineup for the Colorado Rockies
00:01:49so up next number 18 that one's in their own one
00:02:04no score just getting started top of the first
00:02:16and he's down 0-2 as he swings through it
00:02:24and a pitch
00:02:28round ball left side
00:02:33zips it across two away here in the top of the first
00:02:38batting third the first baseman number 17
00:02:43Todd Helton
00:02:46Todd Helton digging in for the Rockies
00:02:49first pitch doesn't find the zone
00:03:01righty to the plate
00:03:06swing and a miss 98 on the gun
00:03:12that one a triple digits
00:03:32well it looks to have some quality stuff on the hill today start this outing out pepper in the zone
00:03:37arm is loose and firing him in there back to the mound
00:03:40fires over to first
00:03:44that's the third out
00:03:45nothing doing for the Rockies
00:03:48and now it'll be the Cubs turn in a scoreless ball game
00:03:52Major League Baseball is on the show
00:03:54bottom of the first
00:04:03getting the nod on the mound Aaron Cook
00:04:06well he's been giving up a lot of hard contact this season
00:04:09I mean coming in guys are hitting comfortably in the high 200s
00:04:13so many times there's some bad luck but then also
00:04:16there's just a little miss here or a little miss there
00:04:19that changes the outcome of the at bat
00:04:21we'll see if he could be consistent and make adjustments quickly in this one
00:04:25bottom of the first
00:04:26here's a speed threat
00:04:27number two
00:04:28the pitch
00:04:30and a breaking ball drops in for a strike
00:04:34only one now
00:04:46they tried to get him to chase on a slider
00:04:50down and away
00:04:51but one one
00:04:54turned on but foul wide of third
00:04:59and now it's one and two
00:05:08and misses inside
00:05:22swing and a miss
00:05:37struck him out
00:05:38and one away
00:05:40oh this guy's been pretty much a non-factor so far this weekend
00:05:43very little in the way of impactful at bats
00:05:46and quality at bats
00:05:47and let alone contact
00:05:49that's the sixth time they've set him down on strikes in the series
00:05:52so no doubt frustration mounting and very high right now
00:05:56so now the dh spot
00:05:58king kelly
00:05:59first pitch and that's in for a strike
00:06:04at the belt and fires
00:06:19that one the other way
00:06:22and it stays fair
00:06:23so a man aboard now with one away
00:06:26he really shot that one down the right field line
00:06:32and somehow found a way to keep it from slicing foul
00:06:35one thing that was great about the approach
00:06:37his head was down all the way through the pitch
00:06:39and that's how you do it
00:06:40and now they've got some speed on first
00:06:42so we'll see if they try to get him into motion
00:06:44now here is
00:06:46pack wilson
00:06:47throw and they got him
00:06:50well these guys were right on top of it
00:06:52they guessed right on the first pitch pitch out
00:06:54tells me they had some good data or scouting report
00:06:57maybe it's just a feeling
00:06:58but either way
00:06:59perfect execution
00:07:00great throw and tag
00:07:01and they erased that runner at first
00:07:03kicks and deals
00:07:11and that one fouled off
00:07:15next pitch in the dirt
00:07:31now two balls and a strike
00:07:33there's a swing and a drive
00:07:42that one back there
00:07:43and it is gone
00:07:46his 24th home run of the season
00:07:50and they jump out front
00:07:52it's 1-0
00:08:01knew what pitch he wanted to hit
00:08:06spit on some other pitches in this
00:08:08hit bad
00:08:09was very patient
00:08:10and it paid off
00:08:11base is empty with two away
00:08:18and next for the cubs
00:08:19billy williams
00:08:21batting four
00:08:21the left fielder
00:08:23billy
00:08:24and that's in there for strike one
00:08:26kicks and fires
00:08:40and he hits a ground ball
00:08:43right side
00:08:44he takes it himself to the bag
00:08:46and that'll do it
00:08:47but they're off to a good start
00:08:49as they pick up a run
00:08:50on this solo shot
00:08:52it's now 1-0
00:08:53second inning
00:09:01set to go
00:09:02now it's the veteran outfielder
00:09:04Larry Walker
00:09:05he is quite an athlete
00:09:07I mean you look around
00:09:08the other sports
00:09:09basketball
00:09:10football
00:09:10you feel like he could thrive
00:09:12in one of those sports too
00:09:13the 0-1 is outside
00:09:29and it's a ball and a strike
00:09:30James Kingsley
00:09:31our plate umpire
00:09:32consistent
00:09:33and maybe a little generous
00:09:34on the edges
00:09:35yeah Boog
00:09:36he'll give a little bit
00:09:37on the edges
00:09:37like you said
00:09:38but from what I've seen
00:09:39he usually does that
00:09:40when a guy
00:09:41is just commanding
00:09:42those parts of the strike zone
00:09:44and essentially
00:09:45the guys earned it
00:09:45the umpire rolls with them
00:09:47in the air
00:09:49center field
00:09:50Wilson
00:09:50drifts towards it
00:09:52and out number one
00:09:54on the grab
00:09:55how much were you aware
00:09:56of the umpire scouting report
00:09:58or even who was going to be umpiring
00:10:00not a whole lot
00:10:01I mean
00:10:01there were a couple of
00:10:03umpires
00:10:03that weren't real good
00:10:05but outside of that
00:10:06you just kind of went into the game
00:10:07especially back when I was playing
00:10:09Nolan Arenado
00:10:29stands in here
00:10:30leaves that one down
00:10:31one down
00:10:35base is empty
00:10:36upstairs
00:10:39to account to a guy like this
00:10:42at the plate
00:10:42you've got to throw a pitcher's pitch
00:10:44don't just try to get a strike
00:10:45he could make you pay
00:10:46righty delivers
00:10:49now three and oh
00:10:53here comes a pitch
00:11:03and that's ball four
00:11:07that just came apart right there
00:11:11four pitch walk
00:11:12and
00:11:12guy at the plate
00:11:13was not going to help him out
00:11:14by swinging at something
00:11:15out of the zone
00:11:16and next is the designated hitter
00:11:19Vinny Castilla
00:11:20so clutch
00:11:21you could argue
00:11:22that he's been
00:11:23this team's
00:11:24MVP this year
00:11:25and a pitch
00:11:35that misses
00:11:37one and one
00:11:38Arenado
00:11:40the base runner
00:11:41at first
00:11:41with one out
00:11:42that one
00:11:46not close
00:11:47two and one
00:11:48and he deals
00:11:55and a good eye there
00:11:58the pitch
00:12:11and that gets the top
00:12:13of the zone
00:12:14for a strike
00:12:14I think he was sitting
00:12:16off speed right there
00:12:17because he just let
00:12:18the fastball go by
00:12:19and the righty deals
00:12:21and there's ball four
00:12:23he's making things
00:12:26difficult for himself
00:12:27right now
00:12:27out there on the mound
00:12:28but you know
00:12:29his confidence
00:12:29should still be high enough
00:12:31to get out of this
00:12:32but he's going to have
00:12:33to buckle down
00:12:33right here
00:12:34so in now
00:12:36for Colorado
00:12:36Carlos Gonzalez
00:12:38a guy who makes
00:12:40an impact
00:12:40not just at the plate
00:12:41but also in the field
00:12:42one out
00:12:50runners at first
00:12:51and second
00:12:52next offering
00:12:57is down low
00:12:58Bell the best way
00:12:59to shake off
00:13:00yesterday's struggles
00:13:01is to get on the board
00:13:02early
00:13:02they've got a guy
00:13:03in scoring position
00:13:04they've got to find
00:13:05a way here
00:13:05to get him in
00:13:06the 2-0
00:13:08is in for a strike
00:13:09and the pitch
00:13:24well triple digits
00:13:28on the gun
00:13:29I know there are
00:13:30more guys
00:13:30that can reach that
00:13:32now than in the past
00:13:33but it's still
00:13:33impressive to watch
00:13:34that misses
00:13:37and it's 3-2
00:13:38runners at first
00:13:40and second
00:13:41with one gone
00:13:42and they're all
00:13:47loaded up
00:13:48well he's normally
00:13:50going to fill up
00:13:51the strike zone
00:13:51and really limit
00:13:52base runners
00:13:53but his command
00:13:54in this one
00:13:54just seems off
00:13:56out there
00:13:56a lot more walks
00:13:57than he's used
00:13:57to giving up
00:13:58Charlie Blackman
00:14:00digging in
00:14:01for the Rockies
00:14:02he was hitless
00:14:03in fourth bats
00:14:04yesterday
00:14:04I think ultimately
00:14:25you want to tie him up
00:14:26get the ball
00:14:27in on the plate
00:14:28so that he can't get
00:14:29the barrel to it
00:14:30and hit it to the outfield
00:14:31the pitch
00:14:32on the ground
00:14:34could be two
00:14:35fires to second
00:14:36for one
00:14:36got him
00:14:37the double play
00:14:39cuts down
00:14:39the potential tying run
00:14:41just trying to sneak
00:14:42one through
00:14:42with the bases loaded
00:14:43but an excellent job
00:14:44by the defense
00:14:45to turn that one
00:14:46and get out of this jam
00:14:47back here at the friendly
00:15:02confines
00:15:03bottom half
00:15:03of inning number two

00:15:16and he meant it
00:15:17they say it went
00:15:19next pitch is outside
00:15:33and for Ernie to keep
00:15:34that cheerful demeanor
00:15:35is even more impressive
00:15:37considering a lot
00:15:38of losing seasons
00:15:39for the Cubs
00:15:40that he endured
00:15:40on the ground
00:15:43at first
00:15:43and he handles it
00:15:46himself for the out

00:19:35there
00:19:35we talk about
00:19:36the power fastball
00:19:37but he's working
00:19:37a little differently
00:19:38here
00:19:39swing
00:19:51at a ball
00:19:51popped up

00:20:30back up the middle
00:20:42and a base hit
00:20:43he needed that one
00:20:49it's been a tough
00:20:49stretch at the plate
00:20:50lately
00:20:51that's about as
00:20:51textbook as it gets
00:20:53got his stride
00:20:53load
00:20:54out of the way
00:20:55early
00:20:55he stayed inside

00:21:25with two strikes
00:21:26may see some
00:21:27movement over there
00:21:28at first base
00:21:29trying to stay out
00:21:30of a double play
00:21:31here
00:21:31check on the runner
00:21:35and he's back
00:21:36in on a dive
00:21:37and a swing
00:21:47and a miss
00:21:47and there are two
00:21:49outs
00:21:49well obviously
00:21:50that was nowhere
00:21:51near the strike zone
00:21:52by the time it got
00:21:53to the plate
00:21:54and people at home
00:21:54watching are thinking
00:21:55what's he swinging at
00:21:56but I'll tell you
00:21:57some of the break guys
00:21:58snap off these days
00:21:59is just devastating
00:22:00it can be so tough
00:22:01to recognize
00:22:02where a pitch like
00:22:02that's going to end up
00:22:03Todd Helton
00:22:05digging in for the Rockies
00:22:06grounded out back
00:22:07to the pitcher
00:22:08his first time
00:22:09and the first pitch
00:22:12misses for ball one
00:22:14good speed
00:22:15on the base pass
00:22:16he handles the bat
00:22:17very well
00:22:18I wouldn't be surprised
00:22:20if the skipper
00:22:20puts on some type
00:22:22of hit and run
00:22:22or run and hit
00:22:23left hand hitter waits
00:22:29on a line

00:22:39well that may end up
00:22:40being an at bat
00:22:41we go back to later on
00:22:43when this game is over
00:22:44it's amazing to me
00:22:45that he was able to put
00:22:46the barrel on that one
00:22:47I mean that pitch
00:22:47was pretty well outside
00:22:48but great extension
00:22:50and bat control
00:22:51through the zone
00:22:52allowed him to drive
00:22:53it the other way
00:22:54that was pretty impressive
00:22:55at the play
00:22:56Larry Walker
00:22:57first pitch
00:22:59and that's in
00:22:59for a strike
00:23:00that's down and in
00:23:17two outs
00:23:32two outs
00:23:45this to third
00:23:48slides

00:23:50runner at third
00:23:51puts on the brakes
00:23:53base is now loaded
00:23:54with two away
00:23:55love how he let that ball
00:23:57travel
00:23:58trusted his hands
00:23:59nice job of going
00:24:00the other way
00:24:00two outs
00:24:03bases full
00:24:04here's Nolan Arenado
00:24:06this guy is one of
00:24:07the best athletes
00:24:08in the sport
00:24:09first offering
00:24:11misses the mark
00:24:12two outs
00:24:21bases are full
00:24:22fouled off
00:24:28left side
00:24:29right side
00:24:45Ryan gets there
00:24:47he's under it
00:24:48makes the catch
00:24:49and that will end
00:24:51the inning
00:24:51Rockies leave him
00:24:52loaded
00:24:53they trail here
00:24:541-0
00:24:55here at Wrigley Field
00:25:04and here's the catcher
00:25:05Gabby Hartnett
00:25:06for the Cubs
00:25:08the catcher
00:25:10Gabby
00:25:11Hartnett
00:25:12the right hander
00:25:15back to work
00:25:15off the mark
00:25:17there
00:25:18ball one
00:25:19good eye
00:25:35good eye right there
00:25:35he's been raking
00:25:37in recent games
00:25:38and a big reason
00:25:39why
00:25:40getting ahead
00:25:41and counts
00:25:41he's been able
00:25:42to do that
00:25:42consistently
00:25:43and you see
00:25:44the results
00:25:44the pitch
00:25:45that one
00:25:48missed
00:25:48breaking ball
00:26:04in there
00:26:05for a strike
00:26:05dangerous spot
00:26:06for that slider
00:26:07right there
00:26:08didn't seem to
00:26:08quite finish
00:26:09out front
00:26:10and get that
00:26:10sharp break
00:26:11tell you what
00:26:12he doesn't want
00:26:12to throw that pitch
00:26:12again
00:26:13and he walked
00:26:15him
00:26:15well he tried
00:26:18to nibble
00:26:18right there
00:26:19and just missed
00:26:19his spot
00:26:20hitter didn't
00:26:21offer at it
00:26:22now he has
00:26:22somebody to worry
00:26:23about over at
00:26:23first
00:26:24so the lineup
00:26:26flips over
00:26:26next is the
00:26:28speedy first
00:26:29baseman
00:26:29number two
00:26:30it's interesting
00:26:31he plays kind
00:26:32of a power
00:26:33spot
00:26:34defensively
00:26:35but runs
00:26:36pretty well
00:26:37so when you're
00:26:38looking at that
00:26:38position you're not
00:26:39expecting someone
00:26:40that has
00:26:41maybe above average
00:26:42speed but he does
00:26:43in there
00:26:48for strike one
00:26:49and I think
00:26:50that skill set
00:26:51really upgrades
00:26:52the position
00:26:53because when you
00:26:54have that kind
00:26:54of speed
00:26:55it makes the
00:26:56whole team
00:26:56that much
00:26:57better
00:26:57oh and two
00:27:03as he waves
00:27:04at that one
00:27:05righty to the
00:27:10plate
00:27:10in the air
00:27:13fairly deep
00:27:14to right
00:27:15field
00:27:15Walker
00:27:16brings it
00:27:17in
00:27:17and there's
00:27:18one away
00:27:19next is the
00:27:34designated hitter
00:27:35king
00:27:35the MO for
00:27:37him is
00:27:37contact
00:27:38the guy who's
00:27:39going to deliver
00:27:39average
00:27:40not a ton of
00:27:41power
00:27:41he's looking to
00:27:42hit a line drive
00:27:43somewhere
00:27:43y'all that's why
00:27:44it's a team
00:27:45and when you look
00:27:45at a lineup
00:27:46he's a great
00:27:47two-hole hitter
00:27:48or a guy that you
00:27:48could put at the
00:27:49bottom to help
00:27:50turn that line up
00:27:50over to have some
00:27:51momentum for your
00:27:52top hitters coming
00:27:53up to the plate
00:27:54Hartnett leads off
00:27:58first with one away
00:27:59next offering is in for
00:28:06a strike
00:28:06man this guy's got a
00:28:07great feel for his
00:28:09breaking ball today
00:28:09next offering is
00:28:14downstairs
00:28:15at the belt
00:28:23run around the goal
00:28:25the other way
00:28:26takes it to the bag
00:28:28himself and
00:28:29doubles him off
00:28:30three innings
00:28:31complete
00:28:31it's the Cubs
00:28:32one and the
00:28:33Rockies

00:28:47and the
00:28:56right hitter
00:28:56back to work
00:28:57that one
00:29:00fouled off
00:29:01the pitch
00:29:09that missed
00:29:13inside

00:59:14to
00:59:14go
00:59:14to
00:59:45So two away with nobody on.
00:59:50And now the first baseman, Todd Helton.
00:59:52The first baseman, number 17, Todd Helton.
00:59:56First off ring, misses the mark.
01:00:09The pitch.
01:00:10In for a strike.
01:00:15And a count one and one.
01:00:19And the pitch.
01:00:23And now two and a one.
01:00:25When you get to this part of the order, yeah, there's some pop there,
01:00:28but more likely there's some base hits.
01:00:31So very important to be patient.
01:00:32Let the pitcher walk you, if he will.
01:00:34Swing and a miss.
01:00:40And the count is two and two.
01:00:47Righty delivers.
01:00:52Stays alive.
01:00:53And down on strikes.
01:01:07And that is that.
01:01:08But the Rocks bring in two on this big fly.
01:01:12And this is now a three-one ball game.
01:01:14Set for the last half of the seventh.
01:01:23So now it's the Cubs hitter in the four hole.
01:01:26Billy Williams.
01:01:28No left fielder.
01:01:30Billy.
01:01:31Good job.
01:01:32And the pitch.
01:01:41That misses the zone.
01:01:43And that is ball one.
01:01:52Here comes the pitch.
01:01:55Sliced hard, but fouled down the left side.
01:01:58The one-one.
01:02:10On the ground to short.
01:02:14Tosses across the first.
01:02:16And one away in the bottom of the seventh.
01:02:21Now batter.
01:02:22Not shortstop.
01:02:24Birdie.
01:02:25Bank.
01:02:26So up next, Ernie Banks.
01:02:39And that's in there for strike one.
01:02:41Oh, and one.
01:02:51Just off the inside edge.
01:02:56And a one-one.
01:03:02Look out.
01:03:03And it hit him.
01:03:04Well, this has the potential to fire up the offense.
01:03:06Only one out and now a baseruner on first.
01:03:09You've got to stay out of a double play if you're going to make something happen here.
01:03:14Denver.
01:03:14Now, this guy's definitely looking for a big swing of the bat right here.
01:03:22Try to close that gap.
01:03:23But, you know, at the very least, if you could find a way to manufacture that run from first,
01:03:27it feels like it's really important to getting back into this ballgame.
01:03:31And there's the strike.
01:03:32Tied run at the plate.
01:03:42And it is two and one.
01:03:49Kicks and deals.
01:03:50Next offering is outside.
01:03:54This is a really good feeling for a hitter.
01:03:56At this point in the ballgame, you know that they don't want to walk you.
01:04:00So you're going to get a pitch to hit.
01:04:01You just better not miss it.
01:04:08And fouled off.
01:04:09The 3-2 is off the outside edge, and that is ball four.
01:04:26Well, he's starting to look a little gassed to me,
01:04:28and we'll see if they go to the bullpen in this spot or not.
01:04:31Manager out of the dugout, and he's going to make a change.
01:04:34Aaron Cook, done for the day.
01:04:36And that's an excellent job from the reliever in the starting role today.
01:04:40Gave him some length.
01:04:41Back with a new arm after this.
01:04:48Drew Pomerantz on the pitch here.
01:04:51Trying to protect this lead.
01:04:54Number 15, Drew Pomerantz.
01:05:06Ron Santo, the next cup to hit.
01:05:10If you don't get ahead in the count,
01:05:12you can forget about having any success against him.
01:05:22And first offering is fouled off.
01:05:24Hitter's got some good opposite field power.
01:05:27What I like about something being hit to the right side into the outfield
01:05:31is that the base runner at second has a very good read
01:05:34and can determine whether or not he can score on that base hit.
01:05:39Well, the hitter's got his timing down for the breaking ball.
01:05:41If you're a pitcher, if you can get that fastball in on the hand,
01:05:45it's going to be very difficult for that hitter to get the barrel to it.
01:05:50Way inside, and that hit him.
01:05:52He had two strikes on him, and he hit him.
01:05:55No, that's not exactly what they're going for
01:05:57when they say one up, one down.
01:06:09These home fans, they are making a lot of noise,
01:06:12putting pressure on that pitcher out there.
01:06:17That hits the dirt, 1-0.
01:06:21One out.
01:06:21The possible tying and go-ahead runs on base.
01:06:30Grounder might be two.
01:06:32Slings to second.
01:06:33Double play.
01:06:34They can't seem to break through.
01:06:37Inning over.
01:06:38Well, the second baseman made that one look easy.
01:06:41Great feed to the shortstop.
01:06:42Shortstop completes the play.
01:06:44They get out of a jam, and they end the inning.
01:06:46We're at the top of the eighth.
01:06:54Now it's the right fielder, Larry Walker.
01:06:57Great speed and great power.
01:07:00A great athlete, quite simply.
01:07:03The wide to kick the pitch.
01:07:08Swing and a high fly ball to left.
01:07:10Williams makes the grab.
01:07:13One pitch and one out.
01:07:14Almost a loud start to the inning on that first pitch.
01:07:17Man, he's going to want that one back, no doubt.
01:07:20Now the third baseman, Nolan Arenado.
01:07:24He's like Mike Trout.
01:07:25You figure whatever you put in his hand,
01:07:27whether it's a bat, whether it's a golf club,
01:07:28whether it's a basketball,
01:07:30he can do it and get it done.
01:07:32And a rare talent.
01:07:33It's so much fun to watch.
01:07:35And that's a base hit.
01:07:37So a man aboard now with one away.
01:07:41These guys today are so great with handling velocity.
01:07:44They're seeing high speeds day after day,
01:07:47and a nice job of turning that one around.
01:07:52One gone runner at first.
01:07:54Here's Colorado's DH, Vinny Castilla.
01:08:00And the first offering is not close.
01:08:03Arenado at first, one gone.
01:08:22And a foul ball.
01:08:33At the belt and fires.
01:08:37Next offering misses down and away.
01:08:51Late on that fastball.
01:08:52Man, he was really tardy on that fastball.
01:08:55Great job of setting him up by throwing the curveball.
01:08:58Add some velocity to it on the next pitch.
01:09:00Can't catch up.
01:09:04Righty to the plate.
01:09:07Squirts away a little bit.
01:09:09And the runner stays where he is.
01:09:16And a pitch.
01:09:19Swing and a base hit.
01:09:20Quick throw back in.
01:09:24Lead runner holds it second with one gone.
01:09:27Well, a swing like that can help you come out of this struggle.
01:09:30We saw the numbers coming into the ball game.
01:09:32But all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win.
01:09:36First and second, one out.
01:09:38Here's the left fielder, Carlos Gonzalez.
01:09:44Here's the pitch.
01:09:45Both runners on the move.
01:09:47Cut on and miss.
01:09:48To third.
01:09:49Tag.
01:09:49Got him.
01:09:56Rutter at second.
01:09:57Two down.
01:10:06Comes up empty on the swing.
01:10:070-2 now.
01:10:09Well, they've kept him pretty quiet in this series.
01:10:11Still doesn't have a knock.
01:10:12I know you want to get that first knock out of the way.
01:10:14Maybe more will come.
01:10:15But you've got to give some credit to the pitching staff.
01:10:17They've had a great plan against him.
01:10:20And the righty deals.
01:10:22Good eye right there.
01:10:240-2 count.
01:10:24You've got the opportunity to expand the zone.
01:10:26Could get the chase there.
01:10:28Let's see what he comes back with next.
01:10:38And the right-hander deals.
01:10:40Swings through that one.
01:10:41It's a strikeout.
01:10:43And that is that.
01:10:44The Rockies strand one.
01:10:45But they still lead it 3-1.
01:10:56And welcome back.
01:10:57On to the bottom of the eighth.
01:10:59Now, here is Gabby Hartnett.
01:11:02The catcher.
01:11:03Gabby.
01:11:04The pitch.
01:11:05Hartnett.
01:11:05And that's down and away.
01:11:09Pomerantz.
01:11:10He's known as a reliever that excels in really tough situations.
01:11:14Those high leverage spots.
01:11:16It seems like he's at his best in these situations.
01:11:19And obviously the ability to get the strikeout factors in.
01:11:22And now it's even up.
01:11:26Yeah, there are certain guys that expect to come in and dominate.
01:11:30And they see the challenge, the battle, just a little bit differently.
01:11:34They trust their stuff and they believe that their stuff is better than that guy standing in the batter's box.
01:11:40What his swing, what his ability is.
01:11:42The Rockies have some action in the pen.
01:11:44Houston Street up and loosening in the pen.
01:11:47That one in for a strike two and two.
01:11:58The mental approach is a big factor too, isn't it?
01:12:01Yeah, Boog, it is.
01:12:02And, you know, for each guy it can be a little different.
01:12:05Some people consciously work on focusing, slowing things down, breathing techniques.
01:12:09And then there's some players that are just natural and they just seem to be more composed and less excitable.
01:12:15Daniel Bard gets the call to the mound.
01:12:18He's being eased into the game here where the base is empty.
01:12:29Back to the leadoff spot in the Cubs lineup.
01:12:31Here's the Cubs leadoff, man.
01:12:33Number two.
01:12:36A lot of times with relievers, they just like to get amped up and they're not really looking to try and slow it down, right?
01:12:42They're just trying to get hyper.
01:12:43Yeah, and perhaps make that hitter a little hyper and make him more aggressive.
01:12:49And that way, when they put a wrinkle, change speeds, he's out in front just a little bit.
01:12:56The 0-1.
01:12:58Not close with that one, but he gets him to go after it.
01:13:02And just hacking like you used to.
01:13:04Yeah, kind of the same, just like that, yeah.
01:13:06The pitch.
01:13:12And that's outside.
01:13:21One and two now.
01:13:24Swing and a miss.
01:13:25Struck him out.
01:13:26That's out number two.
01:13:27He came out of his mechanics there.
01:13:29Typically, he likes to shoot the ball the other way.
01:13:32But that time, a little anxious.
01:13:34King Kelly.
01:13:36Ready to go.
01:13:41Radio, radio, radio.
01:13:43I'm a bad guy.
01:13:45Two outs.
01:13:47Base is empty.
01:13:47Now it'll be the Cubs' DH.
01:13:50King Kelly.
01:13:51One for three.
01:13:55They say it went.
01:13:57Oh!
01:13:57Oh!
01:13:57Oh!
01:13:58Oh!
01:13:58Oh!
01:13:59Oh!
01:13:59Oh!
01:14:00Oh!
01:14:00Oh!
01:14:01Oh!
01:14:01Oh!
01:14:02Oh!
01:14:02Oh!
01:14:03Oh!
01:14:04Oh!
01:14:05Oh!
01:14:06Oh!
01:14:07Oh!
01:14:08Oh!
01:14:09Oh!
01:14:10Oh!
01:14:11Oh!
01:14:12Oh!
01:14:13Oh!
01:14:14Oh!
01:14:15He never moved because he never had time to.
01:14:19But that kind of velocity, you'd prefer that pitch or work away.
01:14:26Two outs.
01:14:28Check swing didn't go.
01:14:31And a count two and one.
01:14:32The pitch.
01:14:45And that one missing low.
01:14:48The 3-1.
01:15:023-1.
01:15:03And he couldn't come up with it.
01:15:05You can stomach a two-out walk to certain players, but with his speed, this guy out there
01:15:11in the base pass, it could turn into two or three bases.
01:15:13Wilson.
01:15:14Runner at first with two away, and now, Pack Wilson.
01:15:19He has, as they like to say, light tower power.
01:15:23Not a big guy, but a big swing and thunder in that bat.
01:15:282-1.
01:15:29There he is.
01:15:303-0.
01:15:313-4.
01:15:321-0.
01:15:333-0.
01:15:341-0.
01:15:36Now it's 1-0.
01:15:382-0.
01:15:54tying run at the plate and another ball
01:16:10and here it comes and that misses as well
01:16:24and the tying run is on base definitely lost the handle during that sequence
01:16:33four pitches for the walk and that last one didn't even threaten the zone
01:16:37catcher might want to go talk to him first and second two outs and now
01:16:43billy williams known for his late inning heroics
01:16:49next offering is down low and that's ball one
01:17:09now fly ball to right center
01:17:16walker makes the play and that'll do it cubs strand a couple
01:17:20score holds it's 3-1
01:17:32welcome back there's chuck nasty
01:17:44and the right hander back to work
01:17:48ball one no strikes the cubs bullpen with some action
01:17:52carrie wood the veteran right hander appears to be loosening up
01:17:58swing and a miss and it's one and one it might be time to choke up a little bit
01:18:11get that front foot down early maybe even just spread out he's really late right
01:18:15now the 1-1 is cut on and missed at a pitch upstairs
01:18:24and he deals
01:18:25and now two and two
01:18:38right hander kicks deals
01:18:41and a foul ball he stays alive and see how the catcher wanted that pitch up and in want to try to tie
01:18:49him up that's the one thing we're seeing that high fastball you have to get it up there because of how hitters have changed their swings
01:19:04left hand batter waits
01:19:07that misses the zone three and two down and that's awfully close i don't know how you take
01:19:15that he's seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand really well right now
01:19:19that one to first and he takes it himself for the out
01:19:26the bat number 20
01:19:29number 20 getting ready to hit
01:19:47in there for strike one goodness i think he just took the best pitch he's going to see in this at bat
01:19:52you don't get many like that in that location i don't know if you take that pitch against
01:19:56any pitcher out there on the mound
01:20:02fouled off he was late
01:20:15the punch out there now two out that's a pretty nasty pitch right there i call it a power curveball
01:20:22in the 80s it's got so much spin on it and you really don't have a lot of time to sit back and
01:20:27watch what it's going to do before you have to commit it was a good one for the swinging strikeout
01:20:38number two digging in for the rockies
01:20:40and a foul ball
01:21:01deal one
01:21:05that one missed
01:21:10here's a one one
01:21:15and there's a ball back to back breaking pitches away you get the feeling as a hitter that the
01:21:20pitcher's afraid of you that he doesn't want to challenge you so i think the confidence level is
01:21:25raised right here
01:21:30next pitch is inside three and one now
01:21:33kicks and fires
01:21:40and there's a foul ball
01:21:42a little tardy on that fastball is going to have to get it going a little quicker get that front foot down
01:21:47the pitch
01:21:54the three two is off the outside edge and that is ball four you get a walk and you get a walk
01:22:01everyone gets a walk number 18
01:22:04stepping in number 18. he delivered it a big way back of the seventh singing
01:22:09absolutely a two-run shot that really looms pretty large in this game right now
01:22:27that one's in there on one well if he's gonna steal second you want him to go early in the count that
01:22:32way he's not a distraction to the hitter at the plate go ahead and get it out of the way so the hitter
01:22:37can focus on the pitch
01:22:45at the belt and fires
01:22:54swing and a miss he was late strike two that was straight queso right there
01:23:24and the pitch
01:23:29popped up foul territory behind the play hartnett makes the catch and that'll do it five six and
01:23:36seven will lead things off in the bottom of the ninth it's the rockies three and the cubs one
01:23:46houston street will take over here he has a great slider with tons of movement 16 houston
01:23:53three
01:24:01back here at the ballpark now it's the shortstop ernie banks
01:24:05leading up now boog this is a real tough place for visiting teams to come in and close out ball
01:24:11games for a win that's in for a strike late in the game everyone gets a little tighter way to get ahead
01:24:18on a really good hitter right there
01:24:28next offering is in for a strike quickly into an oh two count both pitches were down in the zone i think
01:24:34you set your sights a little bit higher because you'll have a tendency to chase if you look down in that area
01:24:40next pitch inside and the count is even two and two
01:24:51kicks and deals
01:24:59got him and one out now so the bullpen doing a nice job backing up the effort from their starter
01:25:06yeah we've seen some pretty excellent pitching out of this staff so far i mean they've come in
01:25:11ready to do their job and get out they've been pretty tough to get to in this one and next for the cubs
01:25:17ryan sandberg
01:25:22and he swings and misses and it's nothing and one
01:25:34the wind of the pitch

01:26:05here's a one two
01:26:05and a swing and a miss down on strikes and two away now
01:26:14very strong coming out of the pen so far as he punches out the first two batters he's faced in
01:26:19this one getting straight to work man it's talked about a lot but relievers are just so electric these
01:26:25days he's not fun at bats if you're a hitter i'm so glad i'm retired
01:26:28santo stands in now and watches strike one
01:26:51right-handed reliever
