Here's a pitch of sinking fastball low. A ball and a strike. The Cardinals beat the Phillies 4-3 tonight on Reggie Smith, home of the man on.
One-one pitch here it is, low outside. Pittsburgh won the first game of a double header and they're tied in the second game.
And lost the second game 4-3. Now to stretch the pitch here it is and it's a little bit outside.
The Cardinals in the National League East are only a game out now. Now to stretch. There goes a run at a pitch swung and he missed the throw. How trying to steal.
Legos and Rodriguez to Doyle with a count 3-1. Muehler was going. May swung trying to protect him and missed. It was a strike anyhow.
And Muehler was easily out trying to steal. No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left. We go into the bottom of the first-nose score. So May, the cleanup hitter, instead of batting with a man on first, will be leading off in the second inning.
Here's Mickey Rivers hitting 287. Pitch by Jim Cox went on, long drive, center field. Henderson back on the run makes the catch. With one hand over his shoulder a beautiful play.
Going to the good thing he caught that ball and we just seen him inside the park home run. That Rivers can fly.
Here's Ellie Rodriguez the catcher hitting 257. Seven homers, 27 runs about it. One out, nobody on the pitch. Oh line drive right back at Cot. He didn't see it. Picked up by Herman. Oh the first inside.
Oh about that. A line drive back to Cot hit him right in the glove. Rebounded back towards home plate about halfway. Herman went off, scooped the ball up and fired a burst.
Oh it's one, two, three if you're keeping score. One, two, three, kick. One, two, three, kick. Oh that's what you call self-defense. Here's Lee Stantz.
Cot made two pitches and both have been hit on the butt but out. Now Lee Stantz, right hand hitter the pitch. Takes the low ball too as he also missed with the first pitch inside.
Two balls, no strike. Two on the ground, nobody on base, no score. The pitch here, this one. Wide ball, right center field Henderson on the run. There and he makes the catch.
Two, three, nothing at fly. At the end of one, hitting no score. We go into the top half of the second inning. Carlos May who was at the plate when Mueser was out trying to steal will lead it up.
Carlos hitting 277. Here's a pitch swung on, a bouncing ball up the middle. Denny Doyle has it. Oh the first pitch done, run away.

No score, we're in the second inning. Texas Rangers at Oakland tonight, here's the pitch and the curve ball is inside. One ball, no strike.
The Cardinals beat the Phillies 4-3 tonight. Here's a pitch swung and a miss. The Cardinals were trailing 3-2 when Reggie Smith hit a homer with a man on. So the Cardinals are only one game out of first place.
Pittsburgh is 4-1 half out. Here's the pitch swung and a miss. No strikes and a ball. One man out. Ken Henderson batting 286. The pitch curve low.
Two balls, two strikes. Dodges on in front of San Diego 2-0. And Cincinnati got beat 8-4. Here's the pitch outside and high. Houston beat Cincinnati so the Dodgers can increase their lead to 5-1 half.
Here's the pitch foul back. Pirates beat the Mets 6-0 in the first game of a double header. And Adams beat 3-0 in the second game, only to have Ed Cranepool hit a homer with two on and tie it. And the Mets won it later on.
Three balls, two strikes. Minnesota beat Kansas City 7-3. Now the pitch swung and foul back. So the White Sox could jump back in the second place with a victory.
They're in fourth at the moment. Kansas City and the Rangers are tied for second place. Kansas City playing at Oakland. Three balls, two strikes. The pitch all four. He wants it.
That's his second loss. Here's Bill Melch hitting 227. 14 homers, 41 runs about it.
Bill Sharp will be next. Here's the pitch swung on foul back out of play and in the stands. A souvenir for someone. One strike to nothing.
No score. The judge affirms the runner back. Bruce Bakke. Left hand. Youngster playing first base. Now the stretch. There's the pitch. High pass ball.
That evens it up a ball and a strike. Oliver at third. Valentine playing short. Doyle at second. Bakke at first. Now the pitch. A little tap foul off his foot.
And he's in the hole, two strikes on the wall. The Angels are drawing 675,000 people this year. 54 games. Here's the pitch. Outside.
They have 26 games remaining at home. That's how late this season is getting. Now the stretch. The pitch. There it goes, way back. It might be out of here.
It could be. It is a tremendous home run by Bill Melch. He hit a high pass ball and he hit it a mile over the left field wall. That's his 15th home run of the year.
Boy, he really kissed that one. That's the 15th home run he hit off Ryan this year. And the 15th home run that Bill Melch has hit this year.
That's his career. 133rd now in the White Sox. He's just two behind Minosun. How do you get that on the next home set? Here's Billy Sharp. And the pitch by Ryan. The fastball outside.
One ball, no strikes. Two runs are in on a home run by Bill Melch. Here's the pitch. In there a beauty of strike call. Two runs are in, one out.
The 22 teams come on out. We'll be on earlier. Here's a pitch low. Cubs got beat at extra innings today. 4-3 Montreal beat them.
One ball and a strike. The pitch. Foul back to the screen. So Montreal beat the Cubs. Dodgers are leading at San Diego. Pittsburgh split with the men.
The Cubs go beat Atlanta. The Cardinals defeated Philadelphia. Reggie Smith had two homers in that game. Now the pitch. High. Back to the screen.
The Cubs couldn't beat Cincinnati. In the American League, Minnesota defeated Kansas City. The Tigers rallied in the ninth inning to beat the Red Sox 7-5.
Cleveland over Baltimore. Milwaukee down the Yankees in the first game of the doubleheader. The second game is tied 1-1. Oakland and Texas just gotten underway.
Two balls, two strikes. Let's see Chuck Tanner coming out. Complaining about the count. It should be two balls and a strike. A 3-2 make it. Bill sharps the bat.
Up on the board, they recognize the United Airlines White Sox fan club from Chicago.
Three balls, two strikes. Two runs are in on a long home run of the bat of Bill Melton. His 50s of the year. Here's the pitch. Strong and he's stuck him out. Strikeout number two.
Now to bring up Ed Herman batting 275. Six homers, 28 runs out of it. Top of the second inning. Two to nothing in favor of the White Sox.
Here's the pitch, strong and loose. There are about 275 Miss Anaheims in attendance here today, at least.
Mike and nothing to pitch. Strong and he misses right to. Ed Herman the batting. Buckie Depp will be next.
Hey, stuck him out on a breaking ball. That's his third strikeout. Two runs, one hit. No errors, nobody left to the gun to the bottom of the second. White Sox, two angels, nothing.
Harry Carrey back in Anaheim. Here's Frank Robinson, the designated hitter to lead it off. The first pitch is outside and low. Robinson with 15 homers, 47 runs about it in. Hitting 252.
Jim Cot on the hill. The pitch, he started his swing held up. Curveball is low and inside. Cot has 111 and lost seven.
Two balls, no strike. Now to wind up the pitch, one on a long drive deep center, way back. Henderson near the wall, may make the catch. He leaps, hits the wall, holds on to the ball.
Holy cow, what a play. Ken Henderson ran into the center field wall. I think that's all canvas out there.
Cabins over at Chain Lake Fest. Now they made the catch with one hand. One away. Good thing that ball was just straight away. 404 feet away. I thought the one that burst and he was great. That's super. No, that's one gone. Bobby Valentine is shortstop.
Now to wind up the pitch is in there low. Make it a little bit too low, ball one. One man out, nobody on base to pitch long and he fouls it. Bobby Valentine hitting 263.
Now the 1-1 pitch. Right hand here they're waiting. The delivery. High and outside. Tommy O'Leary, Tommy O'Leary's peak club is losing. All the crowd from the Angels are sending their best regards.
There's a strike call for Valentine. Texas nothing, Oakland nothing, Oakland batting at the bottom of the second. Two balls, two strikes. One man out, nobody on. Bobby Valentine the batter.

Five and a roll retired by Jim Cotts. Here's Winston Yannis. Winston Yannis. Foul with two L. L-L-E-N-S pronounced Yannis. Here's a pitch foul back. One strike, nothing.
Yannis, pretty good hitter. Uses a pinch hitter most of the time. Here's a slow curve high. He's on the Dominican Republic. 31 years old.

Three balls, two strikes. Now the pitch pops up outside first. Mucer may have a play over near the stands. He's got room and he makes the catch to retire to side.
The Red Sox are all retired by Cotts. At the end of the two, the White Sox do the angels nothing. Harry Carrey back in Anaheim. He's on to the top of the third inning. Bucky Daffle lead it off. Two to nothing and save it to the White Sox on a home run.
At Dill Mountain with a man on. First pitch to Dennis Hyde. One ball, no strikes. Now the delivery. Start of the swing of Flider over the outside corner. The Dodgers lead San Diego five to nothing in the third.

Bounce the first to the up. Run away. Here's Pat Kelly. Kelly rolled out his first time at bat. One man out, nobody on. Ball game in the third.

Third ball in the first strike call. That evens it up. A ball and a strike. Milwaukee on its way to a double victory over the Yankees. Here's the pitch.
Two balls and a strike. Gene Tennis, just hit home with a man on for Oakland. Now the delivery, here it is. Low. They may never lose a game again.
Tennis, just hit his 15th home run of the year with a man on. They lead Kansas City two to nothing. Three balls and a strike. The pitch a bouncing ball.
Great stop by Nolan Ryan. Throws the first to the up. Took a base hit away from Kelly. Two gone. Here's George.
Struck out his first time. Ryan is staying three. And he's walked two. Allowed one hit a home run by Mel. Here's the pitch going to high.
Two to nothing. One ball, one. Dick Allen not playing tonight. Being given a rest. Two men are out. Two to nothing. White Sox the pitch.
A ball and a strike. White Sox back home Thursday night against Oakland. And again Friday night. Then the Texas Rangers. Here's a pitch swung and missed.
Two strikes and a ball. Two men around, nobody on. George Orta hitting three thirty.
Now to wind up the pitch. Fastball high. That evens it up. Two balls, two strikes. Two out, nobody on. The pitch. Hey, talking about again.
One, two, three. Nothing on. Going to the bottom of the first. Or rather the bottom of the third. The score. The White Sox. Two on Bill Mountain. Homer with the man on. The Angels. Nothing.
Hitting four fifty five. He's hit one home run. First pitch is in the first strike call. All-ranging hit. Left hand hitter, left hand thrower. He's a little like Rick Monday of the Cup.
Now the pitch swung on a little fast. Back to the mound. That's going to be easy. Hey, he can run pretty good. He's out. Seven and a roll retired by Catt.
That brings up Bob Oliver. He's hitting two forty. Six overs, forty runs about it in. Jenny Doyle will be next to wind up the pitch. Oliver's lines and foul into the right field corner.
One strike to nothing. One man out, nobody on. To the nothing and save it away. Here's a smash. Great play by Ordo to his right to throw.
And time. Magnificent play. Oliver's smash went to the right of Ordo. He made a backhand and stop. Recovered through the first and time. Two ups, two downs. Here's Jenny Doyle. Hitting two fifty one. One Homer, twenty six runs about it in.
In a big ball game, the Cardinals are still at out here. Reggie Smith. His two home runs. His second with the man on. Here the Cardinals are four to three victories. Here's the pitch. Doyle takes it high.
Hit one of the six. And then again in the eighth with a man on to win the game. Two balls, no strikes. The pitch went on a high pop line on the infield. Bucky Dent going out under the ball. He has it to retire the side. Doyle pops to Dent. One, two, three.
The score at the end of three, the White Sox two, the Angels nothing. We're going to the top of the fourth, the White Sox leading two to nothing. Tony Musa will lead it off. Moving into ten yard about it, Bill Nerson.
In the first pitch from Nolan Ryan, the fastball strike called. Tony walked his last time out trying to steal. Lieutenant hitter facing Nolan Ryan, the right hander. And the pitch by Nolan, the curve in the inside corner called strike one. You may recall the other night I was talking about Mike Lundinan.
He's a young fellow who hit a high pop line for Appleton. Here's the pitch inside, a little high ball. One ball and two strikes. He's a young fellow, Mike Lundinan, number one draft towards seventy two who hit the high five ball that killed the Nighthawks.
He's had five hits and six at fast and that six runs bad at it. His Appleton defeated Burlington twenty to one in the Midwest game last night. The one and two pitch. Ground ball and shots to the shortstop. Ballantine up with it on the first.
He's out for the first out here in the fourth. He reached on a fastball outside. Reaching out and tapped it. Trying to go to left field. Right away in the fourth inning the batter is Carlos May, granted out the second and the second inning.
Lundinan, a youngster, had those five hits included a grand slam home run, a triple and two doubles. He's an outfielder. The pitch a little high now to Carlos May for a ball. Carlos May bought it. The muscle problem in his leg. Remember he pulled up lane down at Texas.
One oh pitch outside a little high. Ball two. A fine story. In the Los Angeles Times today by John Hall in honor of Casey Stingles' eighty fourth birthday. Here's the two oh pitch. Right.
From the outside corner so we should pass along birthday wishes to old Kate. It's amazing how quickly time flies by. Born in 1890. Two one pitch. Outside high ball three. Three and one count.
John was remembering some of the Stingles.
Always great. Here's the pitch. A really good guess. Whitey Hurtock can do this because he can do a great Casey Stingles. Whitey is the coach of the California Angels.
Wave all to try to count right now to Carlos May. One out the White Sox leading two to nothing to pitch. Hardest ball on the ground. Second base and good off the doil. On the first to the second out. Once again Casey said once I've heard it couldn't be done but sometimes it doesn't always work.
You know what he said. You mustn't take your eye off the ball until it's in there again and you can win a pennant and sometimes you can't if it winds up somewhere else.
Oh we have done without a guy like him. Here's the pitch now to Henderson. A call strike. Casey eighty four today. He had a great interview with John Hall. I wish I could have read the whole thing but it's too long.
He's got a beautiful rhetoric. Outside over a ball. What ball was that? He said you'll remember this one. He was trying to remember a ball player's name and he said we'll be ready when the bell rings and that's the right fielder's name Gus Bell.
What ball was strike that Henderson. Hard space right to the first base and back deep for the eye. Oh Henderson really ripped that one. First back to the rookie first base and went through right folded in. Three up straight out here in the fourth and Ryan now has retired the last eight men to face him after Melton Homer.
No runs no hits. After three and a half quick innings of play the white shot through the angels. Mickey Rivers waved off of the angels here in the fourth inning. Jim Cox first pitchers in there. Nice curve ball. They had some great plays in this game.
Mickey Rivers drove Kenny Henderson to the warning track and center field in the first inning. Ken making another.
That's for catching center field. Got a great play by and then Robinson hit a longer shot. Kenny had to go up on the fence and center field at four hundred four feet. There's better field curve ball on drive right field.
Bill Garso is there and he hasn't put it out. This year the ball is carried better in Anaheim than in past years. You'll remember earlier this year we were here and they were hitting home runs here at a faster twist and in years past they can't quite figure it out.
The dog is still about the same tonight. I get the taste of that metal in your mouth tonight. That emissions smell that you get around Southern California when the weather is just right here.
The one in the first pitch now called strike to Alie Rodriguez the catcher. I'm talking about Casey Singles 84th birthday. He was quoted again when he made his scooper down Hall of Famer seat.
What I'll bet I ball one strike left Casey this there comes a time in every man's life and I've had plenty of.
One ball one strike pitch by time there on the outside corner called strike. I'll belabor you with one more single league.
You know you should be a dental student former dental students that you got to get 27 out to win.
You like a swing and a miss by Rodriguez and that's right three and the first strike out. So he has retired 11 in a row.
He's got a one ball strike by Lee Beck and then George order going hard to his right in the third inning.
Oh I hear the forest of that one. I think it's a cow.
It was 71 degrees at game time it's about 70 right now.
I can set a field with water off the pole but the very still and delightful evening here in Southern California.
It's 15 more to do this case you said you got to get 27 out to win at the end of the play the white box to the angels nothing.
But we stand right now. Nothing is up. That's the only hit off Ryan and no it's not.
We haven't been here quite an hour yet and we're in the fifth inning basketball game.
I hope we have one like this tomorrow night coming home. No one Ryan delivers that at the fastball in their first strike.
No one leading the American League with 215 strikeouts more than coming tonight.
And the fact that I tried to write that a field well and racing back to his right of that and he has it for the first out here in the fifth inning.
Bill Sharp outstanding a man from the furio.
If you saw it spelled in Chicago it'd be spelled R E F U G I O.
College for the furio. What a great trades of all time when he came to California. There's a play in a high five ball to left field by Bill Sharp charging in though is Winston Genes and he makes the cut for the out.
Go away now on the fifth inning and then Herman is up.
He said or died 18 individual records during the 73 season.
Mr. Ryan struck out rich race in Minnesota for 383 strikeouts breaking Sandy Kovac 382 which he didn't 65.
It's to know hitters first strike in there to add her to know hitters.
July 15th against Kansas City Detroit.
Here's the old one that's by Ryan and it's like to add her nothing to do.
That's the made him the best picture to accomplish the feet one season.
Johnny Vandermeer Alley Reynolds virtual truck Jim Maloney.
He's been on the road in one season outside for ball ball and two strikes.
And all the not only that's to know hitters but he struck out 12 on the first one and 17 in the second one last year.
Truck out anymore 23 times on the ground ball the first base side Ryan over picked it up first on first Herman's out at the end of the inning.
The bottom of the fifth score the White Sox to the angels nothing like Robinson leading off here in the fifth inning.
Jim got tires outside the ball one.
The White Sox will be playing here tomorrow night at six o'clock game.
California's I will start at 745 Chicago's I've got ball inside and high two balls no strike to Robin Robinson on the air is batting to 52.
As 15 home run.
Right hander to play and a big hit five for a ball.
I guess in five hundred and sixty seven home runs in his career.
He's just one ahead of common or he is just one step ahead of Armand Guilbrough and they also runs in a career.
I'm in it all right.
As a sniper.
The first one to run a first heading for second field corner.
The third base bag melted at no chance on that one really fall by playing.
Here's Bobby Valentine adding to the sixty three a double three triple to the home run.
Valentine coming back here after an accident when he went into the defense last season broke his leg.
Terrible break here's the first curve ball bounce to the second baseman orders up with it on the first and one away as Robinson advances to third.
Winston Genes.
Let's build it.
Get a starting to eighty seven twenty five hits on the air and eighty seven at bat playing in forty five ballgame.
He's at five doubles two home runs and eleven runs right at it.
That's good speed.
Right hander hitter close to the plate curve ball is low for a ball.
His left foot is right at the center of the plate and only about four inches off of it.
So he really clouds up in there. Drops the bat way down below his right shoulder.
And the curve ball line to the left field that made sure Robinson Carlos May with a catcher comes to throw.
Robinson hurried to play and it is not in time.
The throw was wide.
A long play that Robinson would have beaten it anyway.
And it's a two to one ballgame. The White Sox leading here in the fifth inning.
The Valentine moves over Robinson and Genes brings him in with a final.
And Bruce Spocky batting four fifty five is up.
Spocky came into the ballgame with ten hits and twenty two at bat.
First pitch is low for a ball batting four fifty five.
It is first home run.
And the double hitter's something.
It's his first major league home run.
Sparks down ball to second.
Arta scoops it up on the first.
Chicago, well you want to talk sports and really mull it over.
What's the matter with the Sox, the Cubs, the Bears and what have you?
Monday through Friday, ten to midnight.
Pat Sheridan sports on sixty seven Q that's where.
On the first pitch.
Spocky does.
He's got the left field for a base hit.
And that's the second hit off Nolan Ryan as we come to play here in the sixth inning.
Spocky's swing on the first pitch and lining it into left field.
Holes at first base. The batter is Matt Kelly.
Kelly's running out in the first inning and again in the third.
Batting two seventy eight coming into the ballgame.
Left hand and hitting Matt Kelly.
Spocky's head looks like he may have pushed an ankle or something as he rounded first base down there.
Yeah, he's pointing to his right foot.
Oh, he's had more ankle problems over the last three or four ballgames.
Now Modchak's pointing to where Spocky rounded first and put on the brakes.
And evidently he set his right foot down and turned his ankle a bit.
Now he's had Dick Allen turned his ankle at Oakland.
Campanera's playing his. He'll be out in about ten days.
And Joe Ludi up there is playing his.
And Spocky now walking off his.
I just looked into the glasses down there and noticed that the beautiful field here at Anaheim Stadium.
It's not as beautiful as it used to be.
They're, of course, they have a WFL football team here and they play when the angels are not at home.
And it's been torn up a bit in that outfield.
It doesn't look the same watch garden that it normally has.
And I wonder, Harry, if that might generate some enthusiasm.
Here's a stretch now.
That's McKellen. He squared about and let it go for the ball.
I hate to think about it.
I wonder if they're beginning looking at it and saying, well, we might have to go to that artificial turf.
I hope not. I do too.
It's such a beautiful place.
But it's really spotty out there now.
Here's a stretch by Nolan.
And Ryan fires the fastball in there for Carl Stike.
One ball and one strike.
Lucky Nip.
Still in first base.
Ankle's OK.
The on deck batter, George Roga.
Ryan now giving up two hits.
Jim Cots giving up one.
Third baseman, Oliver, playing up on the grass.
And the body missed it.
One ball and two strikes.
He went through the ball a bit.
Oliver backed off at third.
Goes back to the edge of the dirt.
He had been at about 10 feet on the grass.
Kelly handles that back pretty well.
Might try to lay one down with a one and two count.
In field up.
Callow in the middle.
Outfield straight away.
Stretch by Ryan.
And the pitch.
And he hits a high flying step to left field.
Genes backing up a few paces on back.
And he takes it for the outs and holding it first is Bucky Depp.
Looking out of the ball pan, which is behind Genes in left field.
You see Horacio Pena.
Horacio Pena.
Just came into the California organization from the Chicago Cubs where he had a free four-winger.
This is his sixth major league club in seven years.
We can ask them how everything is in Chicago.
Here's the stretch down the pitch to Orta.
Bow ball back by George.
Nothing in one count.
He plays for the Quilliams up in Oakland, which might have generated some of the enthusiasm for Horacio.
Used to be a very, and still a, good relief pitcher.
Rick Stelmazing went to the Cubs and I noticed he was in the Cubs lineup today.
Rich in the 0-1 pitch.
Eye pops out of the left side.
Up in the upper deck. Can he count as nothing in two now to Orta.
The other end of our night, 7.45 Chicago time.
The last game of this road trip.
And then open a big series with the Oakland Athletics.
A huge series of them.
Thursday and Friday.
Better get a couple of those games back that were lost in Oakland.
Orta to play.
And he fouls off another one back in the upper deck to the left.
No ball to strike out.
Talking about acquisitions by California.
A very good friend.
A gentleman who has done an outstanding job here as stadium director.
1968 head both fielders leaving California.
Here's the 0-2 pitch. Bow ball right down the left field corner.
Has a meeting.
There's a former pitcher.
He's also a senior duty traveling secretary to California.
He's moving up to Seattle to become the head of the King County Stadium.
That new dorm update.
Talking about the fact they could put 68,000 in for football and 58,000 in for baseball.
Here's the 0-2 pitch now to Orta.
And he chops the high one towards first.
Boxley over goes to second.
In time here to fourth deck.
Good play by Boxley coming over from first base.
Now even that high chop on the second base side of the mound.
Clipped it into Valentine forcing this and no play back to first base.
Orta's base there in the field is short.
So two down now to six.
Sonning and Tony Muster's up.
Tony batting 3-37 coming into the ball game with 32 hits and 95 at fast on the year.
Lost in the first and grounded out in the fourth inning.
Most of the other court pointed out, as the public acknowledged, that they do have a football franchise for Seattle coming up.
And of course our whole thing is people are conjecturing that there is a baseball franchise there somewhere for them.
Gabo in the first pitch for ball.
What ball and no strike.
Tony Muster's at the plate. Two outs. The runner at first base.
George Jordan and the pitch.
By drive up to the field coming fast. Rivers on the run.
And that fast man will have anything he's got.
For no runs, one hit and one left.
After five and a half minutes of play, Chicago 2, California 1.
And the Sunning, the Angels scored in the set of Robinson Double.
And came in on Jenna's sacrifice wide-rack.
Here's Bob Oliver to third baseman.
Oliver hitting 240. Six double, six all-run, 40 RBI.
On the mound, Jim Cutts.
And if that's put on, a curve ball is fouled off.
There's one more item about Seattle, you know.
Steve was taken out of there a few years ago and moved to Milwaukee.
But that's a fine force area.
Here's the 0-1 pitch. Fast ball. A high, high fly. Right center field.
Horta pointing Henderson over. He'll take it. He does for the out.
One away and Denny Doyle coming up.
The Angels have made a tremendous number of moves lately.
And they also have some hurt.
Dave Droughtner, finally on shortstop, has a hamstring ball.
Paul Schaal and the traded fore from Kansas City has a wrist ailment.
Mickey Rivers, a leg strain, but you don't notice that the way he runs.
And Frank Robinson is still on. He's just about to pitch a curve ball high over the head of Denny Doyle.
For a ball.
The Angels have been bringing some people up from their farm system.
And sending some back now since they've made these moves.
Here's the 1-0 pitch. Curve again high over the head of Doyle.
The ball's through. He's got twice.
They've placed Captain Charlie Mim in the 15-day disabled list.
Option of young infielder Orlando Ramirez.
And left-handed pitcher John Covallan out to short-pipe City to the Pacific Coast League.
2-0 pitch now. And a little pop fly out in the left field.
Hurrying back is Vince coming in.
And they've called Sabrina for a base hit.
That was a high-end five-pitch that Doyle had a fell away from.
And half-one-on.
And looked it out to left for a single.
Second hit off, Jeff Cutts.
Got it and retired 12-in-a-row before Lobbison double-offed him in the fifth inning.
At the plate now, Mickey Rivers.
And the first pitch to left center is low outside curveball for ball one.
Mickey Rivers was at 337 during July.
At 431 with 28 nips.
He's by 65 at bat. He's really been going strong. Leaves the league in a fast triple with 8.
Second in hits with 117 behind Carew.
1-0 stretch. Throw to first. Not in time. Oh, that was close.
Buster putting a tag on Doyle but not in time. And a good move by Cutts.
Watch over there again. Dave Phillips the umpire first base.
Doyle makes a three-step leadoff first.
Mickey Rivers at the plate.
Right by Cutts. And 1-0 pitch.
Ground ball up the middle. Base pitch. Doyle now for second.
Two rounds there. Henderson up for the ball. There comes the throw.
And it's not in time. He got him at third. He got him.
A high throw to Melton. He came down and tagged.
Then he'd oil part again and Whitey Herzog just right in the middle of Louis DeMiro.
Nick Williams charged out of the dugout. Whitey Herzog was straight in the air.
Doyle sliding in. The throw from Henderson was high.
Melton Leapfork came down and tagged Doyle.
And the way Melton went up, I thought he had no chance at it.
But I said he was high and then he came back and got him.
A fine play by Melton on a quick peg by Henderson from Denner Field.
That's a big out.
Still, Whitey Herzog contends that he was safe.
And so does Nick Williams.
And they still go down that third base line with Louis DeMiro.
Nick Williams, ballasting down almost to the outfield grass.
Whitey Herzog has a few parting shots as does Nick Williams.
Well, a very close play at third with a high throw and Doyle sliding underneath.
On the plate, Rivers went to second.
They're getting the single.
And here's Ellie Rodriguez.
Two outs now. Rodriguez ran into the pitcher and had a hard smash in the first inning and struck out on the fourth.
And now it's once to second. Rivers with a wide lead.
The fastball's swinging to this one strike.
Ellie Rodriguez has hit his seventh home run of the year Sunday.
One more than his major league total at the start of this season.
The best before was two in 1970 and 72.
Here's the stretch.
And Cox chases Rivers back to second just starting him looking at it.
Rodriguez traded over from Milwaukee over this pass.
He made it in 257.
And the pitch.
Bung on the ground ball to second.
And it goes between the legs.
The ball down the right field.
And here comes Rivers in the scoring tie-up to ballgame.
George Yordham on an easy ground ball.
Put his glove down and it rolled underneath it.
That's an error on George. The game is tied.
That ball was rolling across the grass right in the order.
I just had to stand and wait on it.
One of those very, very embarrassing errors that not only was embarrassing but tremendously costly here now.
And the 6-0 get tied to the game.
Here's the pitch to Stanton.
And the
first strike is on the
serving effort strike call. Nothing at one count.
The white talk.
Had a fortunate break on the throw to third when DeMiro called the sliding doil out.
Looks like they have this inning whipped.
Here's the pitch inside fastball.
The ball on the strike now to Lee Stanton.
One ball, one strike.
And the stretch again. Leading off first Rodriguez and the pitch to the curve way outside in high ball two.
High game two and two. The angels have three hits. The white talk two.
One thing he's done tonight is a type of air pollution in Southern California because you can taste and smell it tonight.
Here's the two on delivery. Swing and a miss, strike two. True ball inside to Stanton. Two and two counts.
Lee Stanton at his ninth home run is first since June 29th.
By a Sunday.
He's at the plate right now. Two balls, two strikes.
And the fifth. Swing and a miss, strike three and a fastball. Then the sixth inning.
Third strike out for Cotts.
One run, two hits, one error and one left.
At the end of the sixth inning to play is now the angels two and the white talk two.
Well it's a side ball game now as we move to the seventh inning.
The white talk two runs, two hits. The angels two runs, three hits.
Right here in the sixth you're along the way is Herring.
Alright here we go on the top of the seventh and an earned run has tied it up.
Boy a routine roller went right through Orchard's leg.
Found his pitch, a tremendous ball game.
He should be ahead two to one instead he's tied up two and two.
Carlos May leading it off.
Now the pitch.
Fastball in there.
Dave and Anita Hippenstiel of Long Beach.
Wanting to be remembered to Steve Kavarick and other Chicago fans.
Here's a fastball inside.

Ray and Daniel are here from Chicago with their wives.
Now to wind up a ball and a strike to pitch way outside.
Doris and Jim Beretti are here from Chicago.
Frenzel Marshall Sutton, Mike Nardulli, Tom Galanis and Larry McCauskey are on hand.
Now the pitch here it is.
Whoa, and he missed right through.
Nick Spiridos and Larry Peterson.
On vacation from the University of Chicago.
Two balls, two strikes.
Now the delivery, here it is.
High pop ball back and out of play.
Julie Caprice lives here in California.
Has relatives Ann Sally and Uncle Bert in Chicago.
Two balls, two strikes.
Here's the pitch.
High fastball outside.
Nolan Ryan has banned only four.
Hasn't had one since the third inning.
Three balls, two strikes.
The pitch swung and a high pop ball coming back.
Near the screen maybe out of play and it is out of reach.
Kelly Rodriguez reached over the low wall.
Might have been able to catch the ball and a fan not interfere.
But it's safe to assume it's an angel fan.
Carlos May twice has bounced off of the second baseman.
Winner's seventh inning.
Three balls, two strikes.
Now to wind up the fifth.
Half swing, looper into left field, gonna drop for a hit.
May bloops the single and is shot left.
And the go ahead runners of first base with nobody out.
Here's Ken Henderson.
Junior Caprice with relatives in the lead as well.
Bill Melton will be next.
Here's Homer with a man on.
A counter for all the white box scoring.
Reggie Jackson to the homers.
18th of the year for Oakland with a man on.
They lead Texas 4-1 at the end of three.
Now the studs.
So the first to run it back.
Final game of this road trip tomorrow.
White box and lost six out of the last seven.
Now the pitch.
He bumps foul off to the left.
One strike and nothing.
Eight team with three hits.
The difference in the ball game is an error.
Boy, how often.

One strike and nothing.
The pitch way outside of foul ball.
We're in the top of the seventh.
Now the pitch.
And here it is.

Melton on the first pitch foul to Sekke.
Sekke is 23 years old, stands 6'3, 195 pounder.
He was 355 at Salt Lake City with nine homers when they brought him up.
Went to Santa Clara University.
He's only had three years of professional experience.
Here's Bill Sharp, he's nothing out of two so far.
Here's the pitch.
Foul back to the screen and he had a good cut.
27.
Two men are out.
Score tied, 2-2.
Now the pitch.
High fastball outside.
And not even good up for the ball on the strike.
Two more of Miss Anaheim just walking by.
Out ball on the strike.
The throw the first to run her back.
There's no Orion getting set.
Here's the pitch.
High call.
Over the outside corner.
Ball game in the seventh.

There goes the runner.
The pitch went on a bouncing ball to the second base.
The Doils got it.
Over the first to retire to the side.
No runs, one hit.
No errors, one left.
We go into the bottom of the seventh, all tied up 2-2.
We go into the bottom of the seventh running tied up 2-2 each game with three hits.
Black Robinson.
He's hitting the ball hard each time.
Now to wind up the pitch.
Third ball on the strike call.
Robinson fly deep to Henderson who banged it in the center of the wall to make the catch in the second.
Then he doubled it in the left field corner and scored the first run of the fifth.
Here's the pitch and it's off speed inside and low.
The count evens and the ball on the strike.
Nobody on and nobody out.
Now the pitch here it is.
Third ball on the first strike call.
Two strikes and a ball.
Frank Robinson.
Trying to get things started for the Angels.
Jim Cotter picks the superb ball game.
Now the pitch.
Started to swing, he held up.
The first four innings at Compton were perfect innings.
Then he allowed a double to Robinson to lead off the fifth.
But didn't feel out in the sacrifice fly followed for the run.
Here's the pitch, one foul back.
With one out on the stick, Denny Doyle blew the single in front of Carlos May.
Mickey Rivers single center.
But Doyle was out trying to turn on a great play by Melton.
There's a line drive foul into the left field corner.
Melton leaping high for a bad throw coming down to the tag.
And got Doyle.
Rivers going to second on the play.
Rodriguez with a very easy routine ground ball, Orta wouldn't miss it again if he hit him a million like that.
Tag three on a foul tip to Robinson.
He didn't mean to swing, the ball hit his back.
And one with a catch to Herman's glove.
I'm sure you can hit a thousand balls at Orta.
Fungal throw.
Like the one he missed and he wouldn't miss one.
But this one went right through his way.
Here's Bobby Valentine with one out.
There's a curve inside and that's how they tied it up on that one here.
So he's only allowed one, two, three, four baselots, looting the air.
Here's the pitch, low curve outside.
One man out, ball game and a seven.
Go outside, two-two, bottom of the seventh.
Now to wind up the pitch, here it is.
Fastball for a strike.
Two balls and a strike.
One man out.
Two-on-I would be out of the air at 7.45, two hours earlier.
Here's a big foul back.
And immediately following the game, we fly back to Chicago for the two-game series with the great old grenades.
Defending world champions.
Now the two-two pitch, all three low.
Three balls, two strikes, one out.
Now the sign given.
Here's the pitch.
There's a smash off the pitcher's hand, Orta.
He's got it and throws in time for the out.
And then Codd, touch that ball, he'll get an assist.
Let's pause quickly.
This is the Chicano White Dogs baseball network.
This is WMAQ Chicago.
Talk sports with Pat Sheridan, 10 to midnight, Monday through Friday.
Pat Sheridan, sports on 67Q.
Harry Carrey back at the ball park.
There are two out.
Winston Genis is the batter, the pitch.
A little bit outside.
That evens the count of the ball and the strike.
Two-mutter gone.
The delivery foul back to the screen.
Tony Coandina, left-handed pitcher who stands 6'5", weighs 2'25", and is just 21 years old.
Pitch for Sarasota.
Yesterday, here's a broken back pop flying.
The shot left, Carlos May coming on.
Makes the catch to retire the side.
Genis wide to May, 1-2-3, nothing across.
At the end of 7, we're tied 2-2.
We go into the eighth inning, Ed Herman will lead it off.
Well, our good friend, Norris, from Milwaukee, 23,000, saw the Brewers sweep a double-header from the Yankees.
3-2 in the first game, 4-0 a four-hitter by Kevin Cobill in the second game.
Here's Herman, he's nothing out of two.
Game tied, we're in the eighth inning.
Nolan Ryan getting ready.
Each pitcher's given three hits to wind up the pitch.
There's a smash on the ground, front of field, a base hit.
Herman, single to seven.
That will bring a bucky down.
This boy, Tony Coandina, he's from Arizona State, you know how the kind of ballplayers they produce there.
He was a seventh draft choice for the White Sox last month.
And in the 34th inning, he's stretched to professional baseball.
He has struck out 62 men.
In the victory he scored last night over the Cubs in the rookie league.
He's struck out 16 batters, walked only one, gave up four hits.
Here's the pitch, bucky down front, a good bunt.
There's a throw to second.
Hey, how can they get him out on that?
A perfect bunt by bucky down.
I don't know how you can throw anybody out no matter how slow on that play.
The rookie first baseman came in, and he picked the perfect bunt up,
which was down the first base line about 30 feet.
He had to come all the way in, got the ball, and I was happy to see him throw,
but sure he'd be late, and they had Herman by a step and a half.
Here's Kelly now.
There's a ground ball foul outside third.
Boy, that's a tough break.
You can't lay down a better bunt than that.
That doesn't advance the man.
It's not the mother's fault.
From bucky to Valentine, here's Kelly.
One strike and nothing.
Score tied 2-2.
Now the pitch.
Here it is.
Curve ball low.
Mike on Dena, the white docks number one draft trying to,
1972 had five out of six last night.
Six runs bad and in.
It looks like the white docks are developing some fine youngsters.
That's the young fellow who hit the nighthawk the other night.
He killed it.
What's a nighthawk?
Here's the pitch one-hawk on the playground ball.
Second baseman has it to the shortstop for one.
He can't make a play at first.
As bucky's done with the rolling block, took him out of the play.
So it's a four-thousand.
From Denny Doyle to Bobby Valentine.
Here's our time.
That's the same question Pat Chariton's asked for all season.
Tonight for the five-round, getting bucks at ballpark.
You guys from Texas sure know some ridiculous things, you know.
And I mentioned Rush Street and you say, where's that?
Oh, I like to think.
Ha ha ha.
Aren't that a batter?
Well, I gave him a run, maybe he can take it back right here.
Again the throw over.
The game here tomorrow night starts at six o'clock, which is eight o'clock in Chicago.
Here's the pitch.
Wider over the inside line.
Horton's bad twice and hit to a fourth one.
We're in the top of the eighth, tied up two and two.
Now the signal given.
Now the pitch is set over the first to run about.
One strike to nothing.
Now from the belt for delivery.
Here's the pitch.
By a good fastball.
He really buzzbombed him.
That one by him.
Two strikes to nothing.
George Horton about it.
Now the signal given.
The pitch on the way.
Here it is, there goes the runner.
Strike three call.
There they had him on second base too.
We got four outs.
So Orta for the third time tonight is out on strike.
And it's no runs, one hit.
So there's one left.
And the ball to the bottom of the eighth inning tied up two and two.
Tied up two and two.
The White Sox with four hits.
The Angels with three.
Here's Boos Boxey.
23-year-old rookie bouncing off the first pitch foul.
10,029 paid here.
On a beautiful evening.
Out of pitch curveball, low outside.
This Boxey for a left-handed hitter.
Doesn't bail out at all.
He hangs in there pretty tough against the softball pitching.
A gym cut.
Now the delivery curveball swung on and popped up.
Melton's going to have a play.
Foul territory under the ball.
He's got it.
One gone.
Here's Bob Oliver.
Dangerous.
Hitting third base.
One man out, nobody gone.
Pretty fast and happy ball game.
Now the pitch here is Oliver hits a line drive to center.
And Anderson's back four.
He's there waiting makes the gap.
Two up, two down.
My, oh boy.
You know, there's only been one ball hit hard off.
That was a double by Robin.
The other two were bloopers.
And one might have been caught.
Here's a pitch to Denny Doyle.
Fastball for a strike call.
Milwaukee Brewers swept the double header from the Yankees.
There's a ground ball.
That ought to be easy for it.
He's got it.
Throws the first.
That retires his side.
One, two, three.
Nothing across at the end of eight.
Tied up two, two.
We got to the top of the ninth.
Tony Nielsen will lead it off.
Reggie Jackson just hit his second home run of the game for
the Yankees.
He's hit his 18th and 19th tonight.
And Oakland's got a big lead on second.
Here's Beal for the first pitch by Nolan Ryan.
Flung it a fastball and he missed.
One strike and nothing.
Mark Johnson tomorrow evening.
Again, Dick Lang will be on the air at 745.
Chicago time.
Now to wind up the pitch.
Danny Doyle waiting for it.
Rose and time.
A lot of pitching though.
Here's Mayes, one out of three.
Boy, that's deep morning.
Really hitting a ton for Iowa.
16th home run tonight.
Get one of the bases loaded tonight.
Here's the pitch.
Flung on a high pop fly.
That's going to be an easy out.
Under the ball to Jenis.
Two up, two down.
Here's Ken Hendoff.
He walked just ahead of Bill Melton's home run in the
second inning.
White Sox have not had another man get past first base.
Only three other men reach base.
Now to wind up the pitch.
Here it is.
Flung it a curve and he missed it.
One strike and nothing.
Two out, nobody on.
Now the pitch.
And it's a little bit outside.
Texas is losing.
Kansas City got beat.
The White Sox are tied.
There's a fastball first set.
Two strikes in the ball.
Now to wind up the pitch.
Here it is.
A low pop fly.
Short right field.
Jenny Doyle going out.
He's got it.
Henderson pops the door.
One, two, three.
Nothing across.
We're going to the bottom of the line tied up 2-2.
We're going to the bottom of the line.
They have the top of their batting order up.
Mickey Rivers will lead it off.
He's one out of three.
He's going to tie it up.
In the sixth inning, the pitch.
He swings with a curve and he misses.
The White Sox, Iowa Farm Club, scored 17 runs, winning the first game 17 to 16.
Now the pitch.
He tried to punt and he missed.
They've already scored nine in the first five innings of the second game.
Pete Barney in a grand slam in the first game and Lamar Johnson's hit one in the second game.
Two strikes and nothing.
Here's the pitch.
Hey, struck him out on 3-50.
One out.
Boy, that's a shame.
They should have a 2-1 ball game right now.
That's a little easy, simple roller, but that's baseball trickled right through Orta.
Here's the pitch.
A strike call.
Ellie Rodriguez.
He's nothing out of three.
The catcher batting second.
Now the wind to my cap, the pitch curve ball over low and inside.
That evens it up, the ball on the strike.
One man out.
We're in the ninth.
Leroy Stanton will be next.
Now the pitch.
There's the line shot.
But he does make a lunging one-handed stab.
He didn't have to leap.
He just stuck his hand out to his left.
The ball was really kipped hard.
Here's Lee Stanton.
Since that air, which enabled him to tie the game in the sixth,
Stanton's retired nine in a row.
Here's Stanton swinging and missing.
One strike and nothing.
Two men around, nobody on.
We're in the bottom of the ninth.
Go outside, two-two.
Now the pitch is a little bit low.
That evens it up, the ball on the strike.
Two men are gone.
We're in the ninth.
Now the delivery.
High pop-ball back out of play and a stand.
Boy, this ball game has been played about an hour and 50 minutes so far.
We're in the bottom of the ninth.
Two strikes and a loss.
Here's the pitch.
The fastball barely missed inside.
That evens it up.
Two balls, two strikes.
Mark Johnson will go to our ninth.
Here's the fifth.
Line drive up the middle of base end.
That brings up Frank Robinson.
The winning run is the first with two outs.
Now each team has had four hits.
Frank Robinson was out on strikes in the seventh, doubled and later scored in the fifth,
and was robbed of a hit on a great play by Henderson his first time up.
Now the stretch, the pitch on the way, long, and he missed and he had a cut.
Door tight, bottom of the ninth.
The winning run at first, two outs, Frank Robinson the hitter.
Jim Cotter's ready.
Now the pitch, close to first to runner back.
Bobby Valentine with the next.
One strike and up it.
The pitch, a bouncing ball to melt.
There's the throw to first.
In time that requires a side.
No extra innings, no runs, one hit, no errors, one left.
At the end of nine, tied up, two, two.
Quincy Jackson has hit two home runs for Oakland tonight,
and now Gene Pemis does it, his second home run of the game.
He's in his 50s and 60s.
Jackson has hit his 18s and 19s.
Here's Bill Melton to lead it off as we go into the tenth inning.
Boy, Cotts would have outpitched Ryan 2-1 in this game,
but with that error, here's Melton.
Foul set up on the infield.
There's Jason Oliver there.
Hey, almost dropped the ball but made the cut.
There's the case, Melton's not running.
If Oliver drops the ball, Melton barely gets the first base
instead of standing on second.
Here's Bill Sharp, one out.
He's on for three.
The pitch, fastball high.
One ball, no strike.
Nolan Ryan delivers life foul out of play.
Ryan has only spanned five men, six men make it.
Which for him is a bad night.
White Dock's got the runs on one swing of Bill Melton's side
with a man on the second.
And then shut out, good.
Now the pitch, German side.
White Dock, if that only four hits, the Angels have had only four.
There's a pitch foul back.
And the count evened up, two balls, two strikes, one out.
Better than 10,000 paid.
They're on the final day of the month.
The month of July has been out of it.
Fast, get out of play.
