7
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:27,680
Where is the
8
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,000
run is 26th of the year. 6th Oletkano hit a grand slammer for Milwaukee and Alexander
9
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,960
did a three run over for Cleveland. Here's the 2-1 pitch. Swing and a one hopper over
10
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,600
to second. Fire has it as he throws the outfield grass and he gets him. And there's one down.
11
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:49,720
His breath rounds out to second, 4-3. That Cleveland victory snapped a Milwaukee four-game
12
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,800
winning streak. Milwaukee has gone into today's activity, six games out of first. And they
13
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,760
had a chance to pick up a half a game on the idle Boston Red Sox but instead lose a half
14
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:07,280
a game and they're now six and a half back. Hal McCrae the batter hitting 278, 13 homers,
15
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,360
56 RBIs. Back from the right side, first pitch, one hopper to Kessinger. It's short. Long
16
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:20,520
throw across, in time, two down. Two up and two down. And when Mr. Proley is on his game,
17
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,040
you'll see a lot of ground balls. We've had two already here in the first inning as Pete
18
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Lecock steps in. Pete former Cubs playing in his first game of this series batting from
19
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,240
the left side. Pete has not played because the White Sox has sent a couple of left handers
20
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,960
to the mound, Ross Baumgarten and Ken Kravitz the last two nights. White hander into the
21
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,440
wind up to the pitch. And it's low of all. Pete was the American League player of the
22
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:57,920
month in the month of July. Toronto and Detroit we told you is just underway. Those are the
23
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,480
only games in the American League, the two this afternoon and the two night games. Here's
24
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:08,160
the pitch low of all. In the National League, there are four games. Pittsburgh and Atlanta,
25
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,560
St. Louis and Cincinnati we gave you the probables. Later tonight, New York will be
26
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,240
at San Diego and Philadelphia out at Los Angeles. The Cubs are idle. Here's the 2-0 pitch. Swing
27
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,400
and a foul tip at the feet of the catcher. The Cubs will be opening up the series at
28
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:31,840
Cincinnati. They've now lost three in a row and five in their last six ballgames. Kansas
29
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:37,800
City Royals leading the American League West by one percentage point. As California won
30
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,440
last night, defeating the Yankees six to three. Right hander ready, the 2-1 pitch, swing and
31
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,640
a face tip to the left. Got a hold of the pitch on the outside part of the play to the left
32
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:54,600
hander. Single between short and third. And the Royals have a runner at first with two
33
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:01,720
outs. Both, despite the fact the White Sox beat Kansas City last night, both the Royals
34
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,960
have a runner. And California been playing fairly evenly. Kansas City won three of their
35
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,840
last four and California's won four of their last five. See how many games the Royals have
36
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:21,960
left with California. If any. Yep, they've got something up in September. Now college
37
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,000
city, 285 homers, 53 RBI, as I believe we told you. And the first pitch of the breaking
38
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:35,400
ball low, ball one. And it was all through inside. See here in the month of August, the
39
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,160
Royals will play Texas three over the weekend in Kansas City. Then the White Sox will go
40
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,480
into Kansas City for three. Here's the pitch swinging on this. In September, the Royals
41
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:53,760
are out in California for four games. And then California goes to Kansas City for three.
42
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,960
That's seven games in a period of about 10 days that they play each other from the eighth
43
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:14,000
of September to the 17th. Those will be big series. One ball and a strike. Right handed
44
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,280
delivers. Here's the pitch swinging a foul. So he's ahead of them one and two. The three
45
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:25,680
games that the Royals have left with Texas and the three with the White Sox are their
46
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:36,840
final games. I guess those two clubs this year. White Sox will play against the Eastern
47
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:42,680
Division with three games this weekend against Cleveland. Right handed ready. Here's the
48
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:49,800
one two pitch. Swinging the grounder to second base hit. Lacock stopped the second as Washington
49
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:56,160
charges the ball with a right handed hitter up fire with played way over. But Collins
50
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:05,360
goes to the opposite field singles. Lacock holding up the second. Both of the hits by
51
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,960
Lacock and by Collins have been on pitches about waist high on the outside part of the
52
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,320
plate. But they just slapped the opposite field. Now the batter is Darrell Porter, the
53
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:21,040
catcher hitting 279 homers and 55 RBI. The Royals have not completed play against the
54
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:29,440
East. They have three more with Detroit. But the White Sox have very little success with
55
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:36,800
Kansas City has played them about even. The big thing about the Royals, they have a lot
56
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:45,200
of home games. 16 of their last 21 will be at home against the likes of. Well they got
57
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:53,560
Milwaukee too. That's late. They've got Milwaukee, they've got Minnesota, Seattle, Oakland, California.
58
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,480
Here's the pitch swinging the grounder to second. Fire to his right. Has it flipped
59
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:02,160
to the shortstop for the fourth out at second. And Matt retires the side as Collins is forced
60
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,600
out. In the inning, no runs, two hits, no errors, two men left down. So at the end of
61
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,960
a half inning of play here at Tavisky Park, the Chicago White Sox coming to bat at the
62
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,240
bottom of the first. There's no score. Takes them on and begins his warmup thoughts as
63
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:24,600
they face Ralph Yard, Don Kessinger, and Mike Swyers. Swidor making his 31st appearance
64
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:30,400
of the year and his 30th start. This will be his fourth start against the White Sox.
65
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,280
They got credit for a 13 to 2 Kansas City victory against the Sox in Kansas City on
66
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:41,680
the 4th of June. But then he got hammered here, 11 to nothing in the second game of
67
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:47,160
a double hitter on June the 18th. But then he came right back in Kansas City on the 8th
68
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,520
of August and won 10 to 4. So whenever he has faced the White Sox, there's been a lot
69
00:08:52,520 --> 00:09:00,600
of scoring in the three games that he has pitched. 15 runs were scored in one game,
70
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:13,160
11 in another, all by the White Sox, and 14 in another. And the first pitch to Ralph Gar
71
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:20,840
is fouled off, Ralph hitting 281, three homers, 27 RBIs. Kansas City pitchers in the last
72
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:27,160
five games have gone the distance three times. They've been getting some good efforts out
73
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,400
of their starters. Here's the pitch high and inside of all. Swidor has an earned run average
74
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,800
of four against the White Sox this year. In 18 innings, he's allowed eight earned runs.
75
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:43,680
Here's the 1-1 pitch way inside of all, backs him off. He's 2-1 against the White Sox this
76
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:50,680
year, 17 and 11 against the White Sox throughout his career. He did not have a record against
77
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:57,280
them last year. Here's the pitch, swidor up live all the left. Clint Hurdle playing near
78
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:03,440
the line is there and he's got it in fair territory. And there's one down. And the batter
79
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:13,160
will be switch hitting shortstop Don Kessinger, hitting 266 with a homer and 25 RBIs. Defensively
80
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,400
for Kansas City, Pete LeCocque is at first, Frank White at second, Freddy Potek at short,
81
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:24,960
and George Bledis at third with Darrell Porter doing the catching. Clint Hurdle in left field,
82
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:32,000
Amos Otis in center and Al Collins in right. Kessinger batting from the right side against
83
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,360
Swidor. White Sox have won six, lost five against the Royals. This is the rubber match
84
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:43,520
not only of this series and the first pitch is a strike. As the White Sox won last night
85
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,480
after the Royals won on Tuesday night, but it is also the rubber match of the season series
86
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,720
here at Comiskey Park. Here's the pitch. Sox having one three and the Royals having one
87
00:10:52,720 --> 00:11:00,000
three and the pitch was high of all.
88
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,720
Split or delivers the one one delivery, swing and a looper to right, it might drop, it will,
89
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:09,040
a face hit. Kessinger goes to the opposite field with a single and the White Sox have
90
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:15,320
a runner at first with one out. Swidor with an earned run average of three point three
91
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:21,840
two. He has struck out fifty eight in two hundred and three innings and walked thirty
92
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:27,960
nine. Second high on the club and home runs allowed seventeen. Dennis Leonard has given
93
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,680
up twenty three.
94
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:36,840
So the batter is Mike Squires. Youngster has hit successfully in nine of his last eleven
95
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:42,360
ballgames, hitting three fifty nine with seven RBI's and he swings at a big breaking pitch
96
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:50,360
and misses. Strike one. Toronto and Detroit, no score at the end of one. It's the only
97
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:57,800
other game in the American League going on right now. Left hander ready, here's the pitch.
98
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:13,120
Slider misses outside, evens it up one and one. Outfield. Playing Squires almost straight
99
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,560
away. Center fielder shaded just a hair in the right center. Here's the pitch fastball
100
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:22,280
swing and a miss. They got Kessinger off the bag, a throw to first, he is out. Kessinger
101
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:28,520
was caught halfway between first and second. Tony LaRusso arguing with Brett Koss, the
102
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:38,280
umpire at first, Kessinger did not argue. And he is out two to three as he was picked
103
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:49,800
off. Apparently the hit and run was on and Kessinger stopped when Squires missed. So
104
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:56,840
he is picked off two to three. Left hander ready, here's the one two pitch outside of
105
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:10,160
all. Here's the two two delivery, swing and a miss, struck him off, the inning is over.
106
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:16,560
No runs, one hit, one man left on. With the end of one complete inning of play here at
107
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:21,680
Kamiski Park, Whiteside, coming royal something. Warren Brown back at Kamiski Park, no Kessinger
108
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:28,360
was caught coming back to first, it goes down as it caught stealing. They're keeping score
109
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:35,840
with us as he was thrown out from Porter to LeCocque. Clint Hurdle will lead it off for
110
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,520
Kansas City here in the second inning, no score in the ball game. He'll be followed
111
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:47,240
by Amos Otis and Freddie Potten. Our greetings tonight to George Makris of Peril Hicks Chevrolet.
112
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:55,080
George is our Chevrolet salesman of the day. Francis Enderman and the gang from Consolidated
113
00:13:55,080 --> 00:14:05,120
Freightways up in the sky box tonight. And Jim DeLong and friends in one of the bull
114
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:13,200
friends along with John Seward and friends in the other bull friend tonight. Hurdle left
115
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:19,000
handed hitting rookie outfielder hitting 269, 6 homers, 53 RBIs, goes after the first pitch,
116
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:32,160
wants the fly ball deep to right field, curving, curving it is a foul ball. He got a hold of
117
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,040
it, a fully pitch, came within about five feet of hitting that foul pole down there
118
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:45,600
and there's one strike in the batter. Well former cup Paul Rushell, going to start against
119
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:56,680
the White Sox in this next series against Cleveland. Here's the pitch and it's a strike.
120
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Rushell started the other night, did a good job but the Indians lost the ball game. He'll
121
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,800
be making his second American League start this weekend. Here's a swing and a grounder
122
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,520
foul to the right side. Indians will be in here tomorrow night. Francisco Barrios goes
123
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:16,040
against our old nemesis Rick Waits. Saturday Steve Stone will take on David Clyde and Sunday
124
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,480
Ross Baumgarten in an afternoon game will be going against Paul Rushell. It'll be the
125
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,560
second straight game. Here's the two strike pitch inside of all the second straight game
126
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:32,360
that Baumgarten goes against a fellow Illinoisan. He was matched up against Joliet Larry Gura
127
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:39,480
the other night and Paul Rushell, camp point product, will be pitching against him on Sunday.
128
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,760
Right hander ready, here's the pitch, swing and a grounder foul. Over at first Squires
129
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:50,040
has it, Steve Moroes doing the coaching at first for Kansas City. Chuck Hiller over at
130
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:55,240
third, his dad is here tonight in Johnsburg, Illinois, a lot of his friends and relatives.
131
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:03,880
A ball and two strikes. Hurdle with the number nine on his back, crouches in the box, stands
132
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:09,160
way back in it. Here's the pitch outside of all. Ted Henry doing the up-hiring behind
133
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:15,000
home plate. Probably a little upset, I think he thought he had the corner on that pitch.
134
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:22,760
Henry is only to be worked at inning and his shirt is practically completely soaked. Here's
135
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:30,400
the two-two delivery. Low inside of all, three and two. Greg Kosk up-hiring down at first,
136
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:37,960
Jerry Newdecker at second, and George Maloney at third. This is the rubber game of the three
137
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:43,080
game set and the rubber game of the series between these two at Comiskey Park. One and
138
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,720
two, one and one in this series, three and three for the year here. Here's the pitch
139
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:51,880
swinging a fly ball to left. Ralph Gahr comes running in. He's there and he takes it and
140
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:59,080
there's one out. So there's one down and Amos Otis the batter, inning 266, 15 homers, 62
141
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:16,200
BIs. Curly did a fine job in his last outing. He went the distance, defeating Cleveland
142
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:25,320
7-1, tossing an eight-hitter. Made that fine outing, you may recall, against Boston where
143
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,880
he beat them in Fenway Park, four to two. Here's a swing and a miss on the first pitch. But
144
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,840
then his second start was against Kansas City at Kansas City. He hadn't pitched in about
145
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:42,280
eight or nine days and he got whopped pretty good at four innings and he absorbed a 10-4
146
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:52,440
beating by the Royals. So this is his chance to even it up against Kansas City. Took the
147
00:17:52,440 --> 00:18:01,640
rise back that time and patted his right wrist and forearm with him, indication that he's
148
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,560
perspiring out there pretty good. Doesn't want to get any moisture on that ball to slip.
149
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,560
Here's a swing and a base hit to right. Foddle Washington comes over, has it on a couple
150
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:15,640
of hops and gets it back into the infield quickly. As Otis goes to the opposite field,
151
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,200
singling to right. All three hits that the Royals have had here tonight, they've all
152
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:27,080
gone the other way on Proley. They haven't tried to pull him. But Brett McCrae grounded
153
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:35,920
out pulling him in the first inning. Porter pulled in and forced the man out. Hurdle hit
154
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,760
the other way against him and now Otis hitting the other way against him. So Hurdle's ball
155
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,920
was a put out by Gar. Freddie Potpeck the batter, here's the pitch to him and it's
156
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:55,360
slow of all. Potpeck hitting 270, a homer and 40 RVIs. A hot and humid night in Chicago.
157
00:18:55,360 --> 00:19:00,080
Winds coming out of the southwest going from home plate to center field. Breeze of about
158
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:08,200
eight miles an hour. Proley tosses over to first runner back. White Sox went over the
159
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:19,520
1,300,000 mark here last night. 1,300,000. Stank corrected, 1,300,000 plus. Come out
160
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,040
of the ballpark this year, really a tribute to the Chicago White Sox fans. Here's the
161
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,160
pitch of strike. You know the White Sox despite the fact they're 20 games under 500 have out
162
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,640
drawn the Cubs this year. I'm not trying to put down the Cubs and their fans by saying
163
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:42,480
that but just an indication how great and loyal the White Sox fans have been. 1,304,843
164
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:50,840
and still about 15 more home games to go including tonight. Proley tossed over to first and Otis
165
00:19:50,840 --> 00:20:00,120
is back. Amos with the lead. Right hander ready. There he goes, he stops. Here's the
166
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:07,080
pitch high and inside, backs him off. Two and one. Otis made a break and then stopped.
167
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:13,920
Amos has stolen 22 bases this year. He's been thrown out only five times. Pottec who's generally
168
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,520
been the leader on this club. Half the plate here is stolen 33. Their leader is the rookie,
169
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:33,160
Willie Wilson, 35 stolen bases. Two balls and a strike. Runner at first, one out, we're
170
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:43,160
in the second, no score. Right hander ready. Runner not going, here's the pitch, swinging
171
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,160
the grounder to short. Kessinger has it on behalf, goes to second for one, the relay,
172
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:53,120
running time. They get the front man, six to four. Otis came in pretty good. Fire got
173
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:57,880
it away but his throw was the outfield side of first and Pottec is on with a fielder's
174
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,720
choice. So he may be going here. He's got as I mentioned 35 stolen bases. Frank White
175
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:16,520
for that. He's pretty good contact this year. He's hitting 274, four homers and 35 RBI.
176
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:25,800
You talk about a fellow progressing with each year. It has been Frank White. He is one of
177
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:32,280
the premier second baseman now in the American League. First saw him in 73 for a while when
178
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:43,280
he was at Omaha, a little better in 74. Early out of the stretch, first pitch to White,
179
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:54,480
a pitch out, runner not going. He was up with Kansas City for a little bit in 73. He hit
180
00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:02,640
221 for the Royals in 74, 250 at 75. Then he had a slump in 76, hit 229. He came back
181
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:08,880
to hit 245 last year now, hitting a 274. Swing and a miss and all that time. His defense
182
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:19,120
is continually improved. Though his batting average fluctuated, his RBI production improved
183
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:28,680
every year from 5 to 18 to 36 to 46 to 50. Down a little bit this year at 35 with a little
184
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,840
over a month to go in the season. He's been hurt a couple of times. Here's a swing and
185
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,440
a base hit to White. Goes to the opposite field. Pottec holds up at second. Every hit
186
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,120
here tonight, two in the first and two here in the second, have been on opposite field
187
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:49,080
singles. So the Royals have runners at first and second with two out at George Brett-DeBattery
188
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:54,280
grounded out to second his first time up. The reason we make a point of these opposite
189
00:22:54,280 --> 00:23:04,160
field singles is the fact to show you what these guys are thinking when they go up there,
190
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,040
the majority of them. This is one thing that I don't know if they get enough credit for
191
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:16,640
is that hitting-wise, they've got a good defense, they've got good pitching. Their hitters know
192
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,000
what they're doing every time they get up there. Here's the pitch. Swing and a grounder
193
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,480
to first. Brett pulled it and Crowley takes the putout. Every time they have pulled the
194
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,960
ball in the infield, they've grounded out. Every time they've gotten a hit, they've gone
195
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,360
the other way with it. Brett pulling that ball, he still has that bone problem in his
196
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:42,440
right hand. And Matt retires the side. In the inning, no runs, two hits and two men
197
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,920
left on. So we go to the bottom of the second. Kansas City nothing, the White Sox nothing.
198
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:53,000
Warren Brown back at Kavisky Park. Lamar Johnson leads it off and he hits the first ball, Splendor
199
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:58,680
pitch for a strike. Here's the next delivery and it's inside of all. Lamar hitting 271,
200
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:08,520
eight homers and 57 RBIs. That's high in the club. Meaning the RBIs. Here's the 1-1 pitch.
201
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:15,400
Foul back upstairs. You're in tune with WMAQ Radio, Chicago, Illinois. Turado scored a
202
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:21,760
run in the second with the Tigers came back with one in the bottom half of their frame.
203
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,680
Tied it up, 1-1. Pirates at Atlanta, no score. That game in the bottom of the fourth. Here's
204
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:31,080
the pitch up high above. Pirates right now, the hottest team in baseball. Nine straight
205
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:37,480
victories. They gained seven games in the last 11 days. Here's a swing and a miss on
206
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:47,720
the Philadelphia Phillies. So that's the second straight strikeout for Splendor. For the batter
207
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:59,160
is Eric Soderholm. Soderholm hitting 251, 16 homers and 46 RBIs. Left-hander ready. Here's
208
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:08,120
the pitch. Swing and a grounder to the left side foul. Paul Splendor went to Quincy College
209
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:14,000
first two years then transferred to Morningside in Iowa over at Sioux City after going to
210
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,000
high school in Arlington Heights. He's had great success against the White Sox over the
211
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:27,640
years. Here's the one strike delivery and it's up high of all. The Spectal left-hander,
212
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:34,560
real gentleman in the first degree. Here's the 1-1 pitch. Swing and a pop-up on the right
213
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,960
side. Pete LeCocque backs up. In fair territory, the first baseman takes it. Had there two
214
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:48,920
down. Soderholm was honored by the Chicago Chapter of the Baseball Writers of America
215
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:59,600
this last winter at their banquet. I think the name of the award that he was given. Let's
216
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:07,640
check it out for you. Mike Colbert the batter, nobody on it, two out. Mike getting 269, no
217
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,080
homers and nine RBIs. Here's the pitcher, the swing and a shot to Leith's left centerfield.
218
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,720
Holt is going back near the warning track and he's got it right at the edge of the warning
219
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,200
track, an extreme left centerfield. That's been the best ball hit tonight by either club
220
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,000
and it goes as a long out. So it's three up and three down in the second. At the end of
221
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,600
two, the White Sox nothing, Kansas City nothing. Lauren Brown back at Comiskey Park as we go
222
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:38,080
to the third inning. Mike Crowley will face the number two, three and four hitters for
223
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:44,280
the Royals. Speaking about that award that was given Paul Splendorf by the Chicago Baseball
224
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,920
Writers, it was the Ken Hubs Award for meritorious service and conduct on and off the field.
225
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:56,440
So it's sort of like the, I guess you'd call it the Lady Bing Award in hockey, the gentleman's
226
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:03,440
award. Also you have to have credentials on the field as well as off. In other words,
227
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:10,120
you've got to be a winner in both areas and he certainly is. All right, Hal McCray will
228
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:14,360
lead it off, the designated hitter. He'll be followed by Pete LeCocque and Al Collins.
229
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:29,800
The Royals have gotten four hits off of Crowley, two in each inning. Hal McCray grounded out
230
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:38,800
to short his first time up. Jim Gallagheri from Palookas here tonight. A bunch of fellows
231
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:45,800
from Joliet along with him. Jim Oberwarchman, Bob Robinson, Jim Wermer, Herb Poler, Warren
232
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:54,800
Koverec and Jim Rolfe. Here's the pitch and it's a strike. Outfield playing him fairly
233
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:00,800
straight away. Spencer in center shading just a little in left center. Right hander ready,
234
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,800
here's the one strike pitch. There's a swing and a shot to right and second base has got
235
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:12,800
him. What a play by Breyer going to his right. The bat split in half. One piece went out
236
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:20,800
to Satterhove. The ball is to the right of second. Breyer got it about two or three steps
237
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,800
in the outfield grass and then he threw him out. Well, they don't have to saw that bat
238
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:31,800
and they have to find out if there's any cork in it or not. Which they did yesterday, you
239
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:37,800
know, and there wasn't a trace of cork in the grave bat. He's either had a good streak
240
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,800
or been in a slump without cork, but that time split it right in half. Here's the swing
241
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,800
and a grounder in the first pitch by Lecoque to Breyer at second. Throws him out. Greg
242
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:56,800
going to his left this time getting down the outfield grass. So two up and two down. Al
243
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,800
Collins the batter. Singles his last time up as had Lecoque. So probably trying to retire
244
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:13,800
the side in order for the first time tonight. Danny wants you to check with the weather,
245
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,800
see what the humidity is. Temperature. It's a pretty hot night. The wind's out of the
246
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:27,800
south west. Expecting rain tonight. Here's the pitch inside of all the call. Stocks lines
247
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:36,800
are open right now. White Sox will be tomorrow night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon
248
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:47,800
against Cleveland. Here's the one open swing and a miss. So the county even got one and
249
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:59,800
a half. Only into the wind up. Here's the pitch. Swing and a chopper to short. Pessinger charges
250
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:08,800
has it up around the letter. He just got it up around the letters as that ball took a
251
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,800
final high up to him. And it's three up and three down. The first time tonight. Slowly
252
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,800
retires the side in order. We go to the bottom of the third. The White Sox nothing. Kansas
253
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:29,800
City nothing. Mark Brown back at Comiskey Park as we go to the third inning. The White
254
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:52,800
Sox pitching staff now has shut out Kansas City for 17 consecutive innings. Claudio Washington,
255
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,800
who got the game winning hit out here last night, will lead it off against Paul Splittorff.
256
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:03,800
Tomorrow night is back to school night. The first 15,000 school kids getting into the
257
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:17,800
ballpark will get school kids. Pencils, books, pens, etc. Splittorff goes in the line up
258
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,800
and the pitch to Claudio is low of all. Claudio had half the White Sox tips out here last
259
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,800
night, going three for four and driving in two runs in that eighth inning, getting the
260
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:33,800
game winning hit. Left hander ready. Here's the pitcher, the swing and a foul out of play.
261
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:41,800
Ken Griffey has just got a two run homer off of Pete Bukovic. His eighth of the year in
262
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:48,800
the third and the Cardinals are leading Cincinnati four to two. Kansas City, or rather Cincinnati,
263
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:54,800
is still batting. Here's the pitch outside of all, three and one. Pirates Atlanta, no
264
00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:02,800
score at the end of five. Claudio leading it off, he followed by Jim Spencer and Greg
265
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:07,800
Fier. Here's the swing and a grounder to second. White to his left has it and he throws him
266
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:14,800
out. And there's one out here in the third. White Sox have had only one hit off of Splittorff.
267
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:34,800
Splittorff, the first player originally signed by Kansas City, delivers to Spencer, swinging
268
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,800
a grounder. Popek has it, a short. He just did get Spencer. Red had cut in front of him,
269
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,800
couldn't get the ball. Thought maybe that might bother Popek a little bit, but it didn't
270
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,800
as the veteran shortstop threw him out. So two up and two down. Spencer hitting two eighteen
271
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:55,800
with four RBIs. And the batter is Greg Fier. Fier, with nobody on and two out last night,
272
00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:10,800
triggered that three run rally in the eighth inning when he singles. Splittorff originally
273
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:19,800
signed on October 24th, 1969 with the Royals made his first appearance in September of
274
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:25,800
the following year after being at Omaha where he won twelve games. Here's the pitch and
275
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:32,800
it's low of all. He was signed by the Royals that went to Corning in 68, Omaha in 69 and
276
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:38,800
70 with the Royals in part of 70. Back to Omaha in 71. Here's the pitch and it's low,
277
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,800
came up in 71 with the Royals from Omaha and has been in the big leagues ever since. His
278
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:49,800
finest year was 73 when he won twenty, lost eleven, completed twelve games. Here's the
279
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,800
pitchers are swinging the grounder to short. Popek has it. Twos in time and it's a three
280
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,800
up and three down inning again here in the third. So, Splittorff has retired seven in
281
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,800
a row. He's faced a minimum nine hitters of the first three innings. We're at the end
282
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,800
of three. I'm Lauren Brown. Harry Terry and Jimmy Pearsall will be along in a minute.
283
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,800
It's the White Sox. Nothing to the Royals. Nothing. Hello again everybody. Harry Terry
284
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:18,800
and Jimmy Pearsall. We're going now into the top of the fourth of the honey of a ballgame
285
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:27,800
of pitching to them. Nothing, nothing. Now Porter's going to be leading it off. We've
286
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:37,800
got about 12,000 people or so here. The White Sox are over to 1,300,000 Mark. Cleveland
287
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:45,800
Indians will be here tomorrow night. How about school? Back to school, huh Harry? Oh, I
288
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:51,800
wish it was. I'm going to give out some things that will help you get started. The first
289
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,800
15,000 youngsters come into the park tomorrow night with some equipment to help start school
290
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,800
off, right? Well, I'd like to be going back to school right now and know what I know now.
291
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:18,800
I don't think I've had as much fun. Oh, I don't know about that. Here's Porter. You
292
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,800
know, today Jimmy swings and he bounce off the first pitch. Today everybody's out blowing.
293
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:29,800
There you go again. You know, we used to have to sell newspapers and scrub and try to make
294
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:40,800
money off of it. How many papers did you have? I had a big one right next to a factory. There's
295
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,800
a strike call. I sold papers in front of the church every Sunday morning and delivered
296
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,800
100. Then I had a paper route in the morning and a paper route at night. I used to make
297
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:54,800
$32 a week. Oh, I used to make more than that. I used to tell the people who worked at the
298
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,800
church, if you say they'd buy papers from me, they might have trouble. You were lucky
299
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:05,800
to go to school. Two strikes on a ball. I used to get mad on Sunday papers though, Harry.
300
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:11,800
They were too heavy. The other place was delivering papers early. What? Really? Really?
301
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,800
Holding a 50-ounce record. 50-ounce record. I got the concert tour. Oh, I didn't know
302
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:22,800
they could be cut. You were with the man? As soon as I went bad, I forgot everything.
303
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:35,800
Two strikes on a ball. Tigers leading Toronto 4-1 on the fourth. Texas beat Minnesota on
304
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:48,800
a three-run homer by the Galesburg Black. Jim Sunberg. Cleveland nose-outs. Milwaukee
305
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,800
9-8. I'm also going to pitch about five and a half games behind too. They really come
306
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:58,800
a long way, I think. They'll beat today. There's the pitch. Went on way back. Might be out
307
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:05,800
of here. Could be high into the upper deck. That was an off-speed pitch and Porter waited
308
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:12,800
for it. Looks like he knew what was going to come. And boy, he really felt it. That's
309
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:18,800
the steepest home run I've ever seen here in the right field stand. Better than halfway
310
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:24,800
up into the upper deck. Well, that's his tenth home run of the year. And he's come a long
311
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,800
way since he played for Milwaukee. He had a lifetime batting average of about 2.18. And
312
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,800
now he's come over here with Cali Lau. And he's very happy too because he calls his own
313
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:38,800
ball game. He feels like he's the leader. One night off right now, here's Clint Hurdle.
314
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:46,800
Mike Broly has allowed five hits, one run. Thanks, Bobby. There's the line drive foul.
315
00:37:46,800 --> 00:38:01,800
And to the right field corner. One strike and nothing. Bob Birtucci who handles a bar
316
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:07,800
in the bar room. I tell you what, he's a charming looking man. Just gave us a cold can of frozen
317
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:17,800
beer. He can't be too bad. Here's the pitch strike call. Two strikes and nothing. A home
318
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,800
run by Darrell Porter leading off the fourth inning. And boy, Mike Broly was really unhappy.
319
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,800
He picked up a handful of dirt and threw it down to the ground. He knew he had made a
320
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:35,800
bad pitch. Here's the pitch a little inside. Colburn asked for an appeal to the third base
321
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:42,800
up by George Maloney. But he said no, he did not swing. Saint Louis four, Cincinnati three
322
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:58,800
in the bottom of the fourth. Ball game one to nothing. Here's the wind, the pitch. High
323
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:05,800
pop fly ought to be caught. Garza waiting in the take. Harry Broly best pitches that
324
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,800
Hart's thinking he's throwing tonight. He's throwing hard. I've seen him throw all year.
325
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:16,800
When they hit him, it's been on that slow breaking stuff. So there's one away, one in.
326
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:27,800
Amos Odo's a hitter. The White Sox have already attracted 1,304,843. This is a great game.
327
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:38,800
This is the sixth best attendance mark for a year in the club's history. There's a put
328
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:44,800
swing on by Amos Odo's right to the center fielder Spencer, a line drive. That ball sort
329
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:50,800
of fooled Spencer a little bit, but he got him all right. So after Porter let off with
330
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:58,800
a terrifically hit a home run. Hurdle a notice of an easy outs and here's Freddie Pata. I
331
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,800
think we ought to check his best as far as to get that ball for cork. He corked it out
332
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:13,800
of here. Or else check the ball for the rabbit. There's a fast ball open low ball one. Boy,
333
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,800
he's a real, he's a scusted Harry. I hit that ball as hard as I could hit it and it just
334
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:25,800
wouldn't go anywhere. These guys hit that rabbit. See one ball, no strikes. There's
335
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:34,800
a strike call. Having watched you play tennis, I know what you're talking about. You say
336
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:41,800
my well, it's all in good fun. You can fill out of your head. You can slap me. That is
337
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:48,800
the person. Try to the funny pull back. They appealed to the first base up by and he says
338
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:54,800
no. Greg cost is the first base up by Jerry New Decker. The second base up by George
339
00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:01,800
Maloney. The third base up by and Pat Henry behind the play. He didn't go after it. Look
340
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:11,800
like it pulled back. Hi Millie. Remember the Don Kessinger night Friday night, September
341
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,800
the 8th. I know a lot of you Cub fans, there's a ground ball hit for the shortstop. Kessinger
342
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:25,800
throws them out. One run, one hit. No air, nobody left. We go now to the bottom of the
343
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:36,800
fourth one to nothing Kansas City. I bet that you too have noticed how much you like beer
344
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,800
commercials. Everybody claiming to find the most expensive ingredients, the best tech
345
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:50,800
mates, etc. Who really cares? Me, I go by the taste alone. Does it taste good? That's
346
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:56,800
what I'm here. I bet you that way too. And if so, you have to admit that Stro's beer
347
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:02,800
tastes good. Maybe it is the unique fire brewing that does it all. I know you're a real beer
348
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:09,800
lover. You'll love Stro's. There's a good cigar. Line drive into the corner. Face it.
349
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:24,800
It's on his way to second. Take off for three. Here's the ball. Face. Guy hits the first
350
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:30,800
hit. Into the right field, Carter. They're claiming I think they're going to appeal to
351
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,800
the miss. First base. Look to me like you step right in the middle of the bat. I'll tell
352
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,800
you one thing, that sure hunkled a triple on that ball. And it sure wasn't even close
353
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:46,800
to him. And now Carter, he goes. Oh, he's all right. I thought something had happened
354
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,800
the way he was talking to Bobby Knapp, but he's got a good triple. So the time he runs
355
00:42:51,800 --> 00:43:05,800
is up. He's got a good base. Nobody else. Here's Kessinger now. Kessinger lined his
356
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:12,800
single right his first time up. Here's Paul's foot dog. Is he ready? He's up there. Swung
357
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:21,800
on down the right field line. Coming over is Cowan for makes and catch. Gaw holds up
358
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:30,800
the third. More of the third one. Way up the line. One out. I think Harry, why Gaw has
359
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,800
held up on that plate. There's nobody out. But it would have been a tough throw for Cowan
360
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,800
because he's off balance. And with the speed of Gaw, if I was Gaw, I would have tried.
361
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:46,800
But I guess he figured with nobody out, it was a tough chance. But Cardinal's lead,
362
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:53,800
Cincinnati, four to three on the floor. Pittsburgh and Atlanta, those score at the end of sixth.
363
00:43:53,800 --> 00:44:00,800
This squire, now he's sanded his first time up. He has bailed in. Fast ball high outside.
364
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,800
Ball one. Wasn't kind of unusual. They were playing back at shortstop for Kessinger that
365
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:13,800
time. Give him the run. Now the stretch by splits off the fence. Right down the middle
366
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:27,800
of fast ball for a strike dog. No ball in the strike. Now the stretch can bail in. Here's
367
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:33,800
the fence. Swings and fouls him. He had a good touch. A good base runner right now is
368
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,800
thinking on third. He's going to go on a ground ball, especially if it hits slowly. But if
369
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:42,800
he sees a throw, beats him to the plate. He stops and he gets in a run draw for the guy
370
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,800
to hit the ball and get the second. So he's got to be doing a lot of thinking. He's got
371
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:51,800
to be alert because there's no chance of changing his mind. Two strikes on the ball. High,
372
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:58,800
pop foul. Into the left-hand corner. Out of play. Bomb off. Even if Pertle could catch
373
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,800
that ball, the odds were he shouldn't because he couldn't have made a play. He's got to
374
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,800
depend on sputoff to strike Squires out in this situation because he did not throw him
375
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:26,800
out. Sputoff is 1.15, lost tenth. Turn around average 3.32. Out of the sign. In field is
376
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:35,800
the delivery. Stuck him out on the outside corner. Squires called out on strike. That's
377
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:40,800
good fuldom. He thought it was wide. Looked like a back step and bumped the outside corner.
378
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,800
Absolutely right, Harry. It looked to me like he turned it over and started it outside about
379
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:50,800
that foot and it broke on the outside corner. Here's a tough pitch to take. So they're two
380
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:58,800
strikes out. Now the infield drops back to normal position. You know, last night Kansas
381
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:03,800
City had the same chance when Otis tripled and then he struck out three in a row. Gravick.
382
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:09,800
So now it's Sputoff trying to get out of the same situation. Here's Lamar Johnson. Here's
383
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:17,800
the stretch of pitch. Turn outside. Frank White plays Lamar Johnson right up the middle.
384
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:25,800
And LeCocque plays almost in the second baseman position. Now the stretch of pitch. Swung
385
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:32,800
him out. He struck Lamar out the first time on a changeup. First pitch was a breaking ball
386
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,800
changeup but that time he threw him a high fastball and Lamar chased so he's got him
387
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:41,800
looking for that slow stuff making his fastball much quicker. Here's the pitch. A little bit
388
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:48,800
inside a fastball. Ball two. Two balls and a strike. Pittsburgh batting in the seventh
389
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:58,800
of Atlanta. No score. Now the stretch of pitch. Turn ball low. Ball three. Sadder home would
390
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:15,800
be up there next. Play balls and a strike. Here's the pitch. Watch him. Sorry the last
391
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:20,800
eight out of nine games we've got pretty good pitching. That one game we were out of in
392
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:26,800
Cleveland. The last game we were there we got beaten ten to one percent. We've had our
393
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,800
troubles we've had a pretty good streak there. So the pitching seems to be improving more
394
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:35,800
so than the clutch hitting. But we did get it from Washington last night. This sadder
395
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:51,800
homie pops up. His last home run was August the third. Now Sputak is ready. Here's the
396
00:47:51,800 --> 00:48:02,800
pitch. Fastball. One ball no strike. Mike Coburn to be up there next. But there's two
397
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:09,800
outs so something's got to happen here. The pitch. Hey he slices it into right field.
398
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:22,800
Another man to burn. We got a break on that throw from Collins and he goes his second
399
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,800
and gets sadder home. But a slow runner like Gunsley who just got to the bag he has sadder
400
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,800
home by plenty but he threw towards the plate which is the play. But you're playing baseball
401
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:39,800
to keep that run from starting. So now we got runners on second and third. Two outs
402
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:45,800
and Coburn to enter. So it'll look like a streaming line drive at the box car. Sadder
403
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:51,800
home was jammed. He hit the ball off his fist. Had looped in the chart right field. Scoring
404
00:48:51,800 --> 00:49:00,800
guard. Johnson going to third. Sadder home pulling up in second. What a double to his
405
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:08,800
credit. And here's Coburn who's five deep. His first time up. Here's the stretch to pitch.
406
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:15,800
Slow curve low inside ball one. Boy we got a I don't know how hot it is out on the field
407
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:24,800
but it's murder up here in the booth. I'll go along with that coach. One one five. Here's
408
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:31,800
the stretch to pitch. Off feed outside. Boy I got a feeling Coburn's going to rip one
409
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:36,800
off this guy. Because Scudorf is not getting his breaking ball over. His best pitch has
410
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:47,800
been his fastball and his team straight. Two balls no strikes. Oh he just got under it.
411
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:53,800
A high pop fly. Boy his swing was there. The left fielder makes the cut. Hiddle. Takes
412
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:59,800
care of Coburn. Fly ball. Boy Mike had his fit. He does happen to get under it a little
413
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:10,800
bit too much. One run out of all that. Two hits. No errors. Two left. At the end of four
414
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:20,800
we're tied at one. Harry Carrey and Jimmy Pearsall. We're going to the top of the fifth.
415
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:38,800
The Cubs count pack number one fifteen from the Flames are here. Just think why to lead
416
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:51,800
the way. First pitch he swings. Ground ball to Kessinger. He's got it. Over the first
417
00:50:51,800 --> 00:51:08,800
one nine we've got Bracken neverziejorn Major here it's Colter speak. Touched by pages Slater
418
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:19,800
Ohio Peirce. F� HOJ K adalah Everyday True Team. We out of appears.talking tempted to
419
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:26,800
One man out, top of the fifth tied up 1-1.
420
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:32,800
Boy, it's humid up here.
421
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,800
Instead of playing and sitting up here, I've got to believe.
422
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,800
Well, this booth is just so small, Jimmy.
423
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:39,800
Here's a pitch.
424
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,800
Strike off.
425
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,800
You know, we've got no room for the two of us to sit comfortably,
426
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,800
and we should have three engineers sitting behind us.
427
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,800
That booth next door, they could knock out.
428
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,800
Now the wind will pitch, and a little bit low.
429
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,800
Dan is crying for us. He's giving us a few tears, John.
430
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,800
You know, he really feels sorry for you and I.
431
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,800
Two balls and a strike. One man out.
432
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:12,800
Charge front to hitter. Game tied up 1-1.
433
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:13,800
Now the delivery.
434
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,800
Strong ground ball to the second baseman.
435
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,800
Friar kicks it, picks it up, throws.
436
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,800
It's tied.
437
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,800
Almost booted it too long, but recovered.
438
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:25,800
You know, it's funny.
439
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,800
He booted that ball and then pushed it to his right out of his glove,
440
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,800
and then couldn't find it for a moment, and he almost lost the runner.
441
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:37,800
But he knew it was there somewhere, and he kept feeling for it.
442
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,800
A foot double by Eric Soto, almost 47th run batted in this year.
443
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:47,800
Tied up the ballgame for the White Sox and the boys.
444
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,800
Now there are two out, nobody on. Hal McCray to batter.
445
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,800
First pitch is low. Ball one.
446
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:59,800
McCray, he of the Cork bat, which turned out to be wood.
447
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,800
Turned out to be nothing, huh?
448
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,800
One ball, no strikes.
449
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,800
Now the delivery.
450
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,800
A little bit low.
451
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,800
We understand Don Sutton, the pitcher of the Dodgers,
452
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:18,800
who was involved in an altercation with Steve Garvey, the team star of first base,
453
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:25,800
has called a press conference out on the coast for the purpose of apologizing to Garvey.
454
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:30,800
There's the pitch long and foul.
455
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:35,800
Well, I guess it's easy to be jealous of a guy who's got everything,
456
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,800
and that's probably his story.
457
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,800
My only thing about Garvey is whenever I've been around him, he's a perfect gentleman.
458
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,800
He's a top class guy.
459
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,800
Well, I mean, that's what they're jealous of.
460
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,800
Oh, I see.
461
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:52,800
I also noticed that Buckner said from the Cubs that he called up and congratulated Sutton.
462
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,800
What a sick team.
463
00:53:55,800 --> 00:54:00,800
Well, he was with him, you know. That's what he's probably jealous about.
464
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:05,800
Well, that's what gets me. Guys who have no involvement getting into the situation.
465
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,800
The only thing Garvey does is play good every day.
466
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,800
How could a pitcher be mad at him?
467
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,800
If Reggie Smith is more valuable than Steve Garvey,
468
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:20,800
then there's ball four to McRae that brings up Pete McCock.
469
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:25,800
Then the Dodgers ought to be about 50 games in front.
470
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,800
And Reggie Smith is an outstanding ball player.
471
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,800
Sutton really struggling around 500.
472
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:38,800
It just seems to me like he's upset with himself more than he's upset with Garvey and took it out on Garvey.
473
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:47,800
Turns out they live only a few houses away, and the only comment I've heard from Steve Garvey on the situation is
474
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,800
that he didn't like to have his family brought in to us.
475
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,800
And I can't believe I'm for that one.
476
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,800
Here's McCock swing until he fouls it off.
477
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,800
One strike and nothing.
478
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:04,800
You know, I always felt with my family, I kept my youngsters and my wife up in the upstairs away from everybody
479
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,800
so they wouldn't get involved with the other players' wives.
480
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,800
I just thought that we were any better than anybody, but I thought it was better for me.
481
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:15,800
Because ball players say things they don't even know what they're talking about to their wives.
482
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,800
Wives say things they don't even know what they're talking about to their husbands.
483
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:24,800
You know, 90 percent of wives know absolutely nothing about baseball except the trowels.
484
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,800
One strike and nothing.
485
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,800
But they've got to show that they're interested in the livelihood of the man in the house.
486
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,800
Being a white house, they have a lot of information.
487
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,800
Being a white and a ball player is a bore. All you do is sit around and wait.
488
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,800
Here's a pitcher a little bit high.
489
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,800
A ball and a strike.
490
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,800
Two men are out. Boy, anything burns me up.
491
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,800
When a guy says the A, I can hear you rip me.
492
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:50,800
Where'd you hear it?
493
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,800
My wife told me.
494
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,800
Did she tell you nice things we said about you?
495
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,800
Well, she's in the bathroom then.
496
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,800
One ball, one strike.
497
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,800
But it's not only baseball that way.
498
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,800
Here's a pitch swung and filed out of play.
499
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,800
You know, that's why big corporations, when they hire an executive,
500
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:15,800
they spend more time checking on the executive's wife than they do on the executive.
501
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:23,800
They're hiring a very important money because they know what a troublemaking wife can do to a corporation.
502
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:28,800
Just like you can do to a baseball team.
503
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:35,800
Two strikes and a ball.
504
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,800
Now, through the first, the runner back.
505
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:48,800
McCrane, not too much of a threat as a baserunner, but I know he's been around long enough that he can steal one.
506
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,800
Two men are out.
507
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,800
Game tied, 1-1, the pitcher goes around there.
508
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,800
Swung on, a little tap back to the mound.
509
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,800
Holy throws the mound.
510
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,800
No runs, no hits, no errors, one left.
511
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,800
We go to the bottom of the first tied, 1-1.
512
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:17,800
One drive and down the road, you're moving through a turn, and your car's looking good, it's going up and down in the mud.
513
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:23,800
Harry Carrey and Jimmy Pearsall, we're going into the bottom of the fifth all tied up, 1-1.
514
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,800
You know, at St. Louis, Jimmy, it was really funny.
515
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:33,800
I'm not going to mention any names, but if one wife, you know, the wives usually sit in the same section.
516
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,800
Three or four very, very jealous wives.
517
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:40,800
Used to be really funny.
518
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,800
A wife would show up with a new dress.
519
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,800
They'd start talking how much it'd cost, she'd add a couple hundred, you know.
520
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,800
Now, when the other wife would get home, she'd get her husband, she says,
521
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:57,800
how come so-and-so's wife can spend $600 for a dress?
522
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,800
Well, I can only spend $100.
523
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:04,800
And oh, that poor guy, by the time he got to the ballpark, he wished he could go to Australia.
524
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,800
You know, he'd have to put up, so he'd go out and spend $600.
525
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:14,800
Well, next week, some wife would say she spent $800, right?
526
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,800
One thing about the wives can't hit the field.
527
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,800
Right out Washington, hits a bouncing ball up the middle.
528
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,800
Frank White throws him out, nice play by White.
529
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:29,800
The ball wasn't hit that hard, but it was hit perfectly, right over the pitcher's head.
530
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,800
And you have to have a little range at second base to come up with that ball.
531
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,800
You've seen a lot of those trickle through in the center field.
532
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:41,800
But Frank White got over there quickly and made the play easily.
533
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,800
What a turn he did, and Lecoque, who's impressed me with his basketball by this series,
534
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,800
showed me something with his hands.
535
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,800
He's got good soft hands and picked that ball out of the dirt very easily.
536
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,800
Here's Tom Spencer now.
537
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,800
Here's the pitcher, good bounce ball strike called Spencer Boundstock.
538
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,800
His first time up, he's hitting 218.
539
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,800
Bottom of the fifth, 1-1 tie, great ball, yeah.
540
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,800
White's got some beating, beating the defending champ six out of 11.
541
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,800
Here's the pitch ball back.
542
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:19,800
Right below is here on the second row, a young fan making the catch in his lap.
543
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,800
Pittsburgh got five runs in the seventh inning.
544
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,800
Atlanta's batting in the bottom of the eighth, they lead by to nothing.
545
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,800
They're six days behind and climbing.
546
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,800
Here's the pitch on the white's front.
547
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,800
Here's the tap to the second baseman. White throws him out.
548
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,800
Two up, two down, boy, this foot's off his stuff too.
549
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:44,800
See, Harry Spencer went from about 350, 60 to 218 in a hurry.
550
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:49,800
That's one thing in the Major League, Jimmy.
551
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,800
Once those pitchers, you might hit the first time around,
552
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:57,800
but as soon as you've been in the league, I don't know how the great buying works,
553
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,800
but everybody seems to know what you can and cannot hit.
554
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,800
I remember scouting when I played too.
555
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,800
More money spent on scouts up in front when they didn't spend years ago.
556
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,800
You know, almost every team has an advanced scout.
557
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,800
Into the city before their team, his team comes into the city,
558
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,800
and he leaves a report to the manager on every player,
559
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:20,800
what he can hit, what he can't hit, what he did hit, how they pitched him.
560
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,800
And so a rookie might go good for a week or two,
561
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,800
but then unless he really has the ability, his average is going to suffer.
562
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,800
There's the pitch swim on by Breyer, bump by.
563
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:36,800
Short center field, easy catch by Oda.
564
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,800
One, two, three, nothing across.
565
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,800
At the end of five, tied up at one.
566
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,800
Now working his butt behind and then jumping up.
567
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,800
Harry Carrey back in the ballpark.
568
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,800
We're going into the sixth inning, a honey of a ballgame, one-one.
569
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,800
Here on the right side, the beat me.
570
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,800
Defending champion Royals, six out of 11 already in a year.
571
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,800
The size of the world, I think Texas, they're rubbing out of 15.
572
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,800
Harry, we were talking about the scouts up front
573
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,800
and why the opposing teams learn the hitters quicker.
574
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,800
But when we played, we played each other 21 times.
575
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:10,800
It didn't take much to learn each other.
576
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,800
It was just a matter of who was increasing and getting better in his ability.
577
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,800
So I guess they didn't need the scouts.
578
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:24,800
Tell me again, on my interviews before the game, I called attention to this banner out there,
579
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:30,800
some annual Pimmons Chokers, to find out whether they had any reaction about it or not.
580
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,800
Thousands of them said Larry Gura said,
581
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:39,800
well, he's got to rather be in the playoffs and choke to never get into the playoffs at all.
582
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:44,800
Which, that's always a very good rebuttal.
583
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:49,800
Say it, Gura, he's been a surprise and a happy one for Kansas City.
584
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,800
Here's Al Cowans, lightning fast, this fella on a good hitter.
585
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:59,800
One out of two tonight, Mike Frohle is set.
586
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,800
Fastball over the inside corner and strike call.
587
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,800
Oh boy, does this throw hit the spot tonight.
588
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:10,800
Frohle really having a good hard fastball in the sinker.
589
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:16,800
Just jammed Cowans that time, had him completely fooled and he took the pitch.
590
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:22,800
Cleveland Indians here tomorrow night.
591
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:24,800
Curveball outside.
592
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:28,800
I mentioned that Don Kessinger will be honored Friday night, September the 8th.
593
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:35,800
And I also said that I'm sure a lot of the Cubs fans will want to be represented.
594
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:41,800
And towards that end, I'd just like to pass along this information.
595
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,800
Here's a pitch foul back.
596
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,800
Ron Santo, you know, who is his teammate with the Cubs,
597
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:54,800
is on the committee on the Don Kessinger night committee.
598
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,800
But Chuck Shriver, who used to be with the Cubs as a publicity director,
599
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:07,800
now with Aaron Cushman, public relations firm, is handling the details.
600
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:14,800
Here's a pitch bouncing ball to Frohle, he's got it easy off.
601
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:23,800
So you Cubs fans, or White Sox fans, for that matter, or anybody's fan,
602
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,800
you want to participate in that Don Kessinger night,
603
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,800
you might want to get a group of tickets for your friends,
604
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,800
or want to be represented at a free game ceremony,
605
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:38,800
want to make a gift or something, or have a fan club of Kessingers
606
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:43,800
that wants to be represented, here's the name, Chuck Shriver.
607
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:48,800
S-H-R-I-V-E-R, Chuck Shriver.
608
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:56,800
Here's the phone number, 2-6-3-2-500.
609
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:02,800
Here's Porter, a line drive, right after center fielder, easy off.
610
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:09,800
Porter, wait a minute, make that a base hit, a line drive base hit in the center fielder.
611
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,800
Spencer Field is on the one half, I'm looking down at his phone number.
612
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:18,800
Chuck Shriver, 2-6-3-2-500.
613
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,800
Getting the number again, 2-6-3-2-500.
614
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,800
I asked him to wait until you got that in, Harry.
615
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:29,800
Porter gets another hit, a line signal to center fielder.
616
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:37,800
Here's Hurtle now, and he swings and he misses.
617
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:45,800
Nice shot, John Gibson, Bernie Russell, and Jim Perman, the bootleggers in Oakland,
618
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:52,800
are here with Eddie Kobecki of Strasbury.
619
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,800
One on, one out.
620
01:04:54,800 --> 01:05:00,800
Hurtle swings, ground ball, swing, out at second, return throw, out at first.
621
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:07,800
Double play, 3-6-3.
622
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:15,800
So Hurtle hit a hot smash right at squares, returned it into a double play, 3-6-3.
623
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,800
Beautifully done, no runs, one hit, no errors.
624
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:23,800
Nobody left, we go into the bottom of the sixth, one-one tie.
625
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:28,800
Here's Gar to lead it off.
626
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:34,800
Bouncing ball to start, Potec throws, and boy, what a close play, but he's out.
627
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:36,800
Let me tell you, John, that's not your line.
628
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:41,800
We have had occasions this year when runners have walked down the lane,
629
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,800
but you can't say that about Gar.
630
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,800
He's set to double into a triple today.
631
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,800
Hey, they're giving him a great hand for the last one.
632
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,800
That's all it takes to just show these people that you want to play.
633
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:59,800
The guys that are complaining are guys that just haven't played.
634
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:03,800
These fans are just hungry to be able to cheer,
635
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:08,800
and the only time they move is when a player just absolutely forces them to.
636
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:12,800
Went out, here's Kessinger.
637
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:16,800
Oh, that's the first time in a long set-tel you're something at this,
638
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:18,800
that that one you stopped to reflect on it.
639
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:24,800
Here's a guy who ran 90 feet at top speed, and they gave him an ovation.
640
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,800
These guys that walked down the line, they ought to teach them something.
641
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,800
Here's the foul ball off to the left.
642
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,800
They might get a face hit if the guy doesn't throw it right.
643
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,800
So we get paid in this game by production.
644
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,800
One man out, nobody on.
645
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:43,800
At least they used to pay that way.
646
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:49,800
They show up.
647
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:54,800
Out of sight.
648
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:55,800
Pass for high.
649
01:06:55,800 --> 01:07:06,800
Kim Sankowski, Shirley Rook, and Son Mike, who's celebrating his 15th birthday are here.
650
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:14,800
The pitch inside.
651
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,800
Angie Leosi is joined again.
652
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:25,800
The pitch inside.
653
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:30,800
A group of 15th and Captain's quarters there, yeah.
654
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,800
Three balls, two strikes.
655
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,800
The delivery.
656
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,800
Kelsinger, that's a high-pump line.
657
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,800
Lecoque grabs it with one hand.
658
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:47,800
Terry Squire's now playing in his 12th game, has that committed an error?
659
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:51,800
And they finished that inning off that 3-6-3 double play was really something to watch.
660
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,800
And this is something we didn't see all year.
661
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,800
We weren't getting out of the innings because we just couldn't complete that kind of a double play.
662
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,800
This guy here, I believe, is going to help us next year.
663
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,800
And I like his bat, too.
664
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:07,800
He hasn't done anything with split top, but this is the first time he's looked at him.
665
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,800
Let's see what he does this time.
666
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:13,800
Two out, nobody on the pitch.
667
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:17,800
There's the looping liner in the center field of base-end.
668
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,800
Looks like he caught it to these, he caught it.
669
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:25,800
Squire's, boy, that wide really covers some ground.
670
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:33,800
You know, you watch, when you see some of these other ballplayers, you begin to realize really what you've got to have before you win.
671
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:42,800
That's right, like a Whittaker for Detroit, who changed that Detroit ball club into a contender, along with Camilla and Samuelson short stuff.
672
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:51,800
Here's Lamar Johnson now, runner at first base, two out.
673
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:53,800
Let's have a home run, huh, Harry?
674
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,800
That's slow breaking.
675
01:08:55,800 --> 01:09:00,800
Lamar's had eight homers, 57 runs, about an inch, hitting 271.
676
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,800
Oh, that's a good one.
677
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,800
Oh, he's got a good one.
678
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,800
So that strike can up it.
679
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:12,800
You'll never see that pitch again tonight.
680
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:19,800
You know, he's got such a hole between first and second, if they stay one and they hit it there, so he don't hit it out of the park.
681
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:26,800
One strike and up it, Eric Saddle home would be next, so if they hit him, that's all you can give him.
682
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,800
The first, there's a hit in the center field.
683
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,800
Here's a runner on second racing, the third.
684
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:34,800
The throw cut off.
685
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:39,800
Staff go to first, Lamar back.
686
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:44,800
Lamar had to make a dieting belly flop in the first base.
687
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,800
He just fell down and skidded.
688
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:52,800
Well, this is the way we scored with two outs and a fourth inning to tie it up.
689
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,800
Saddle, with two outs, moved a double to short right field.
690
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,800
Now he comes up again with runners in first and third.
691
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:04,800
Last night with two outs, we got the winning run.
692
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:11,800
St. Joseph's School also boys are here in the group tonight.
693
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:18,800
Two men out, two men on, and here's Saddle home.
694
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,800
Hey, Minnie, we're trying to, boy, you're a tough guy to get, Minnie.
695
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,800
We're trying to get you, where's that mic?
696
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:27,800
Let's get a ride, get you through a little play by play in Spanish.
697
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,800
Here's Saddle home up there.
698
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,800
Mike Saddle home in Spanish.
699
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,800
He's preparing to throw.
700
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:39,800
Throw, ball inside, it's a ball inside for Saddle home.
701
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,800
First pitch, wall inside.
702
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:46,800
Go ahead, come on, we'll do it.
703
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,800
There's a first man in first, second, third, two outs.
704
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,800
The score is tied to a race.
705
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,800
There he is preparing to throw, ball.
706
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,800
Strike corner.
707
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:02,800
Honestly, from here it seemed that the ball was a little inside, but it seems that he passed the bat and it's a strike one.
708
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,800
The umpire was wrong, you said, umpire was wrong.
709
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,800
Well, I wouldn't say that the umpire was wrong, I don't know.
710
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,800
A ball and a strike.
711
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,800
Okay, man.
712
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:17,800
Ball, low and inside.
713
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:19,800
Low and inside.
714
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,800
Two balls and a strike, two outs.
715
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,800
I know that.
716
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,800
Prepare to throw, roll, pass, pass, third base.
717
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:33,800
Short, slow, and he's going to throw a roll, pass, third base.
718
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:38,800
It's Hobie.
719
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,800
There he is preparing to throw.
720
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,800
I'm going to try to get a good
721
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:45,800
start.
722
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:46,800
Look at his runners.
723
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:48,800
He's got it!
724
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:50,800
It's a double!
725
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,800
Right corner!
726
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:54,800
It seemed that the ball was a little
727
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:56,800
in the air, but it seems that he
728
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:58,800
passed the bat and it's a strike one.
729
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:00,800
The umpire wrong, as you said.
730
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,800
I would say that the umpire is wrong.
731
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:04,800
No, I'm not saying that.
732
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:06,800
A ball and a strike.
733
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:08,800
He's got it ready.
734
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,800
He's got it.
735
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:12,800
Ball low and inside.
736
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,800
Down and inside.
737
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,800
Two balls and a strike.
738
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,800
Two outs.
739
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,800
He's got it.
740
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,800
He's got it ready.
741
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,800
Roller pass, foul, third base.
742
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,800
Short, slow, and he's got it ready.
743
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:28,800
Roller pass, third base.
744
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:30,800
Runners in first and third, two outs,
745
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:32,800
two balls, two strikes, have Saturday
746
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,800
all in a rolling foul outside
747
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:36,800
third base.
748
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,800
There he is.
749
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,800
He's got it ready.
750
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,800
Look at his runners.
751
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,800
He's got it.
752
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:46,800
He's got it.
753
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,800
He's running and...
754
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:50,800
It's a double ball!
755
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,800
One round in.
756
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:54,800
Two outs in.
757
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:56,800
Hey!
758
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,800
Not a hole.
759
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,800
It's a double.
760
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,800
He's done a very, not a very good job
761
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:10,800
of playing the five-all.
762
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:12,800
He really lost his
763
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,800
sparing
764
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,800
and the ball hit off the wall
765
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:18,800
from the left where he was playing.
766
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:20,800
A double,
767
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:22,800
a triple-oxidation
768
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:24,800
powderhawk,
769
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,800
two runs short.
770
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:28,800
Hang in there, Minnie. Nice shot.
771
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,800
Nice throw, Minnie. Oh, I want to tell you,
772
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:32,800
certainly can't find a place for him,
773
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:34,800
but you can't hide him when he hits the ball
774
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,800
and you can't go to him.
775
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:38,800
All right!
776
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:44,800
You need him.
777
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:46,800
They kind of sat on him with a double,
778
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,800
two-army eye.
779
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:50,800
He takes play down on the throw.
780
01:13:50,800 --> 01:14:14,800
All right!
781
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:20,800
30 pop-back takes over.
782
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:22,800
New run.
783
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:24,800
Three hits.
784
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:26,800
No errors. One left.
785
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,800
This is Harry Carrey
786
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,800
going over to the television booth
787
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:32,800
to score here at the end of the sixth.
788
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:36,800
White Sox 3, Kansas City 1.
789
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,800
Lauren Brown back at Comiskey Park
790
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:40,800
along with Jimmy Pearsall
791
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,800
as we go to the seventh for the second night
792
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:44,800
in a row, the White Sox, after nobody on
793
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:46,800
and two outs, in a rally going
794
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:48,800
as they just came up with two runs
795
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:50,800
of the sixth inning.
796
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:52,800
And Mike Squires, who Paul Splendorf
797
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:54,800
is on the first two times that he faced him,
798
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:56,800
looped one into right center
799
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,800
over the outstretched middle of Frank White.
800
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:00,800
Lamar Johnson singled his center,
801
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:02,800
sending him to third, and then
802
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:04,800
Eric Satterholm on a ball that was
803
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:06,800
catchable hit one at the base
804
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:08,800
of the wall out in left field, and
805
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:10,800
it scored two runs and the White Sox
806
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:12,800
had one way to one. For the second night
807
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,800
in a row now with two outs, we've scored
808
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:16,800
three runs last night and two runs tonight
809
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,800
to go out in front. So this is what we
810
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,800
haven't been doing and it's nice to see these guys
811
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,800
bearing down with two outs instead of just
812
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:24,800
saying, well, this inning's over.
813
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:26,800
Let's get it over with. So we go to the
814
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:28,800
seventh. It'll be Amos Otis,
815
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:30,800
Freddie Potek, and Frank White.
816
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,800
What a pitching to Philadelphia
817
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,800
against LA. Tommy Johns,
818
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,800
14 and 9,
819
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:38,800
against Carlton, 12 and 11
820
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:40,800
against Philadelphia. They probably have about
821
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,800
50,000 in LA tonight.
822
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:44,800
Pete Bukovic
823
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:46,800
in the Cardinals, four, Cincinnati
824
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:48,800
and Moscow, three.
825
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:54,800
Here's the first pitch to Otis,
826
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,800
and it's a strike.
827
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:58,800
Only four
828
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:00,800
times tonight is
829
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:02,800
Proley giving up a ball hit to the outfield,
830
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:04,800
three put outs in the home run by
831
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,800
Porter in the upper deck. Otherwise, he's kept the ball
832
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:08,800
low. Though Porter didn't single
833
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:10,800
a ball that dropped in front of
834
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:12,800
the center fielder in the last inning,
835
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:14,800
but his success has been
836
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,800
keeping the ball low.
837
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,800
Here's the pitch and it's
838
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,800
low.
839
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:22,800
That is what Charlie Brown
840
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,800
says the secret of life is, keep the ball
841
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,800
low.
842
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,800
A ball and a strike.
843
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:32,800
White Sox
844
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,800
trying to
845
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,800
win the three game set here tonight,
846
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:38,800
as well as the season series
847
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:40,800
at Comiskey Park. Here's the pitch, swing of the grounder to third.
848
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:42,800
Sonterholm has it. Throws,
849
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:44,800
he got him.
850
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:46,800
Otis is out, five, three.
851
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:48,800
One, two,
852
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:52,800
three, four, five, six,
853
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:54,800
seven, eight, nine, ten.
854
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:58,800
Eleven, twelve,
855
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:00,800
thirteen
856
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,800
put outs tonight
857
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:04,800
for Squires at first base.
858
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:06,800
I wonder what the record is.
859
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:10,800
Boy, Lauren, if you don't know, the kids from Waterbury sure
860
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:12,800
don't.
861
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,800
Well, just an indication. When that first baseman's
862
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,800
got a lot of assists, a lot of ground balls.
863
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:20,800
The first pitch to Pottec
864
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:22,800
is a ball. Freddie has forced the
865
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:24,800
man out at second and he is grounded out to short.
866
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,800
Outfield plays him
867
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:28,800
shallow and straight away.
868
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:30,800
Play him straight up on the infield.
869
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:32,800
Sonterholm, though, playing parallel to the
870
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,800
bag at third. There's the pitch,
871
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:36,800
swing of the fly ball to left. Gar coming over
872
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:38,800
near the line. He's there.
873
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:40,800
And he's got it in foul territory in their
874
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:42,800
two downs. Listen, Gar
875
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:44,800
ran a mile for that ball. He got a good jump and
876
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,800
really hustled, just like when he ran out that
877
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:48,800
ground ball that he almost beat out. And also
878
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:50,800
stripping that, stretching that double
879
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:52,800
into a triple, so he has really
880
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:54,800
come to play.
881
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,800
So the batter is Frank White.
882
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:58,800
Batting in the ninth spot
883
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,800
here tonight with a right-hander going.
884
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:02,800
He is singled and he is grounded
885
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,800
out to short.
886
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:10,800
Atlanta has been out for a long
887
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,800
time in the bottom of the eighth after the Pirates
888
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:14,800
have gotten five in the seventh.
889
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,800
Right-hander
890
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,800
Ruddy, here's the pitch, and it's
891
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,800
high and inside of all.
892
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:22,800
White, who really has improved
893
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:24,800
his hitting going to the opposite field.
894
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:26,800
It also busts a lot. May have an
895
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:28,800
idea right here with two runs behind and
896
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,800
Sadler home playing deep at third. He might
897
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:32,800
bunt one. Let's see what happens.
898
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,800
Here's the pitch, and it's
899
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:36,800
low.
900
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:38,800
Well, he gives no indication that he's going to
901
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:40,800
bust.
902
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:42,800
Two balls and
903
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:44,800
no strikes.
904
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,800
Nobody on, two outs.
905
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,800
Right-hander delivers. Here's the pitch.
906
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,800
And it's low outside, ball three.
907
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:56,800
Mike has
908
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:58,800
walked only one man tonight. That was McCray
909
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:00,800
with two outs and a fifth.
910
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:02,800
That's the first time that he's going
911
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:04,800
3-0 on any hitter tonight.
912
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:08,800
Right-hander Ruddy,
913
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:10,800
here's the pitch, and it's low of all.
914
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,800
He walked him on four straight pitches. That's
915
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,800
the second walk given up by Mike.
916
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,800
Now, the top
917
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:20,800
of the order coming up,
918
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:22,800
George Brett.
919
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,800
Brett, who has not been really
920
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:26,800
swinging a bad good, went 0-4
921
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:28,800
last night. And so far,
922
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:30,800
he has grounded a second
923
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:32,800
place and grounded on a six at the first
924
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:34,800
base. So that right thumb
925
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:36,800
is really giving him trouble.
926
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,800
And we thank
927
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:40,800
Francis Enderman for the sass
928
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:42,800
gorilla. What is that?
929
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:44,800
Sass gorilla. Should I hum it?
930
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:46,800
Yes.
931
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:50,800
Right-hander Ruddy, here's the pitch.
932
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,800
And it's a strike in the outside corner.
933
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:54,800
I don't think he's going to
934
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:56,800
throw that pitching through a corner. He's
935
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,800
hitting the upper deck. Some kind of a change-up off
936
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:00,800
speed, either a fast ball, change-up
937
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,800
or a breaking ball. Jimmy, it looked like it was
938
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:04,800
a hanging curve ball. Was it? That TV, yeah.
939
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:06,800
It was way up there. It just
940
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:08,800
when that thing just gets up there even in slow
941
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,800
motion, slower than normal.
942
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:12,800
Yeah, it was up letter high
943
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:14,800
and he just popped it in the third row.
944
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:16,800
Youngster made a great catch out there. Did he really? Yeah,
945
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:18,800
with a bit.
946
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,800
Well, we ought to put one of our fielders up there.
947
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,800
Right-hander Ruddy, here's the pitch.
948
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:28,800
And it's outside a ball. Jim Landis
949
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:30,800
once caught a ball over the fence
950
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:32,800
here at Kamiski Park and tumbled over when they
951
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:34,800
had the fence out there. And I think sometime
952
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:36,800
in your career that happened, didn't it? Yes, but
953
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:38,800
Landis, great outfielder. One of the
954
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:40,800
better center fielders that I've ever played against.
955
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:42,800
Also, they had Barry here who could
956
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:44,800
play as well as Landis.
957
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:48,800
I didn't like that fence because they had a little
958
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,800
dip for drainage in front of it. You could
959
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,800
fall in it. Here's the one-one pitch.
960
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:54,800
Swing on the grounder to...
961
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,800
Nice play!
962
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:58,800
Makes the unassisted out.
963
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:00,800
And Brett has tried to pull
964
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:02,800
purely four times tonight and he's out
965
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:04,800
four times as a result.
966
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:06,800
So, no runs, no hits.
967
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:08,800
One left. We go to the bottom of the seventh
968
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:10,800
lady. That's the one. Here's Mary Carey.
969
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,800
Here's Mary Carey.
970
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:14,800
Let me hear ya!
971
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:42,800
Nice play!
972
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,800
Woo!
973
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,800
Lady by the wall.
974
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,800
Lady by the wall.
975
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:52,800
Hey!
976
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:54,800
Hey!
977
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,800
Hey!
978
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:58,800
Have we got
979
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:00,800
time for you
980
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:02,800
when you miss your house with us?
981
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:04,800
Have we got time for you?
982
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:06,800
Lord Brown and Jimmy Pearsall
983
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:08,800
back at Comiskey Park as Claudell Washington
984
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:10,800
takes the ball outside.
985
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,800
Lady
986
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,800
off the
987
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:16,800
seventh inning. White Dock leading
988
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:18,800
three to one. Left-handed ready.
989
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,800
Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss.
990
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:22,800
Evens it up one-and-one.
991
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:24,800
Well, the Royals after tonight will either
992
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:26,800
be in first by a half a game or in second
993
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:28,800
a half a game out. White and
994
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:30,800
Hurddock made a great compliment to Cravic.
995
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:32,800
They, the best game, pitched against them
996
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:34,800
in three years. When he shut them out
997
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:36,800
last night, treated nothing and struck out nine.
998
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:38,800
Here's the one-one pitch.
999
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:40,800
Here's the swing and a hopper over the mound.
1000
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:42,800
White has it behind second.
1001
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:44,800
Trolls out in time as it pulls
1002
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:46,800
Lecombe off the bag and I'm sure that's going to go
1003
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,800
as a hit. I'm amazed that White
1004
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:50,800
even got it there in time, but it was off the bag
1005
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:52,800
towards right a little bit.
1006
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:54,800
And it's an infield hit for Claudell.
1007
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:56,800
That's the
1008
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:58,800
seventh White Dock's hit of the night.
1009
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:00,800
And the batter will be
1010
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,800
Tom Spencer looking down to Bobby
1011
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:04,800
Kanop for a sign.
1012
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:06,800
He'll try to sacrifice this runner over.
1013
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,800
Even if
1014
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:10,800
that throw hasn't on the bag,
1015
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:12,800
Claudell there had it beat out. He was really flying
1016
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,800
down that line. Tough play.
1017
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:16,800
Chopped right over the pitcher's mound and White got it.
1018
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,800
We're going to get activity in the Kansas City
1019
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:20,800
bullpen again. Here's the pitch.
1020
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:22,800
A bunt popped up.
1021
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,800
Squidorf has it, but Washington
1022
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:26,800
didn't get the back. He popped it right for the
1023
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:28,800
pitchers, raced off the mound in a
1024
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:30,800
hurry.
1025
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:34,800
Not a good bunt, but good defense
1026
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:36,800
on the part of Squidorf.
1027
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:38,800
I think even if he didn't get it, the catcher had a good shot
1028
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:40,800
at it.
1029
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,800
It was popped right between the mound and home
1030
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:44,800
play. So, one out.
1031
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:46,800
Greg Pryor the batter.
1032
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:48,800
Pryor last night. Now time is called.
1033
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:50,800
Claudell may have heard himself going back to first.
1034
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:52,800
Charlie Saad, the trainer
1035
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:54,800
going out to take a look at it.
1036
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:58,800
Tony LaRusso,
1037
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,800
first base coach talking. Can't tell
1038
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,800
exactly what the nature of the
1039
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:04,800
injury was.
1040
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,800
Larry Dovey, again, that same ankle
1041
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:08,800
I think he's blocking him out.
1042
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:10,800
They're going to take him out. Yep.
1043
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:12,800
He re-injured that ankle.
1044
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:16,800
So, he's going to be out of the ball game.
1045
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:20,800
They're in the seventh inning.
1046
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,800
Detroit leads Toronto 5-2.
1047
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:24,800
What a big double header. Toronto
1048
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:26,800
won over Detroit. The data won last night.
1049
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:28,800
They'd have been seven and a half games out.
1050
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:30,800
Detroit. Clean them out at home play.
1051
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:32,800
So, one out. Greg Pryor the
1052
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:34,800
batter.
1053
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:36,800
Pryor last night. Now time is called.
1054
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:38,800
Claudell may have heard himself going back to first.
1055
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:40,800
Charlie Saad, the trainer
1056
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:42,800
going out to take a look at it.
1057
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:46,800
Tony LaRusso,
1058
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:48,800
first base coach talking. Can't tell
1059
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:50,800
exactly what the nature of the
1060
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:52,800
injury was. Larry Dovey
1061
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:54,800
again, that same ankle I think
1062
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,800
blocking him out.
1063
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:58,800
They're going to take him out. Yep.
1064
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,800
He re-injured that ankle.
1065
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:02,800
So, he's going to be out of the ball game.
1066
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:08,800
They're in the seventh inning. Detroit
1067
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:10,800
leads Toronto 5-2. And what a big
1068
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:12,800
double header. Toronto won over Detroit.
1069
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:14,800
The data won last night. Data been seven
1070
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:16,800
and a half games out. Detroit.
1071
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:18,800
But now they're still nine.
1072
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:20,800
Big loss from Milwaukee. They were only
1073
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:22,800
six out. Texas defeated
1074
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:24,800
Minnesota on a three run home run
1075
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:26,800
in the tenth by Jim Sunberg, four to one.
1076
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:28,800
Bobby Molinaro
1077
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,800
is going to come in and pitch one. He is the
1078
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:32,800
leading base dealer on this club.
1079
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,800
So, the white side might
1080
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,800
have a few more options
1081
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:38,800
but now it's Molinaro. It's Bird
1082
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:40,800
that's brought out, goes to the clubhouse with that
1083
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:42,800
ankle that he re-injured.
1084
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:44,800
You got a left hand
1085
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,800
and a right hand are warming up on the both ends.
1086
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:48,800
It looks like
1087
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,800
Mangori
1088
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:52,800
and football.
1089
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:54,800
I can't get used to him in that blue youth.
1090
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:56,800
More little darker blue with Texas
1091
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:58,800
and gray with Detroit.
1092
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:02,800
How about those back to school
1093
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:04,800
utilities
1094
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:06,800
for equipment.
1095
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,800
It's great. It really is.
1096
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,800
Tomorrow night the first 15,000
1097
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:12,800
gets them.
1098
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:14,800
Here's the pitch. We're going to pop up coming back.
1099
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:16,800
Porter has the play.
1100
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:20,800
He can't get it.
1101
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:22,800
He came in too far
1102
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:24,800
it looked like. He wanted to pick up the
1103
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:26,800
fence and then go back off it.
1104
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:28,800
And when he got to the fence
1105
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:30,800
he lost the ball because he was underneath it
1106
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:32,800
and the ball just got behind him.
1107
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:34,800
A great
1108
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:36,800
pitch to like Porter still has the same trouble.
1109
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:38,800
So, Friar gets the life and many times
1110
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,800
when this happens,
1111
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:42,800
Gruns will score.
1112
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:44,800
All this drag last night that ignited that
1113
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:46,800
three-one rally in the eighth inning with nobody on it
1114
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:48,800
two out when he singles.
1115
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:50,800
White Sox won it three to nothing. Same thing
1116
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:52,800
happened here tonight with six. Nobody on it
1117
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:54,800
two out. Two singles and a
1118
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:56,800
double. Going a couple of runs.
1119
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:58,800
There goes the runner. Here's the pitch.
1120
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,800
Swung to the ground to right side. White has it.
1121
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:02,800
Paladero will stay in second and White
1122
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:04,800
throws out Friar. But they get the runner
1123
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:06,800
in scoring position.
1124
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:08,800
And they're two down.
1125
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:10,800
And the batter, Ralph Gahr
1126
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:12,800
who has tripled in three trips.
1127
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,800
Friar could have got a little bit more on that ball. He just
1128
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:16,800
drove it through. White made a move to his
1129
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:18,800
right but the ball was just a high hopper.
1130
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,800
But Friar got his job done.
1131
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:22,800
He put that run in scoring position and not a
1132
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:24,800
double play. Well, Leonard Sherman, an attorney
1133
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:26,800
here in Chicago listening to the ball game
1134
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,800
while at the ballpark. It's far to me
1135
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:30,800
it was Ken Berry who caught the ball and then
1136
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:32,800
slipped over the fence. Not Landis.
1137
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:34,800
Here's the pitch to Gahr. Put in the ground
1138
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,800
for the second. White has it
1139
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:38,800
and he throws him out. So that
1140
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:40,800
retires the side here in the seventh.
1141
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,800
No runs.
1142
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:44,800
One hit. One left.
1143
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:46,800
So we go to the eighth. White Sox
1144
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:48,800
in three. Kansas City one.
1145
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:50,800
The time
1146
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:52,800
that keeps coming through
1147
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:54,800
the year of the
1148
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:56,800
soul
1149
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:58,800
only one
1150
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:08,800
Kavisky Park.
1151
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:10,800
Fourteen thousand five hundred and twenty
1152
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:12,800
four here tonight.
1153
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:14,800
And Molinero
1154
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:16,800
is the main to the ballgame.
1155
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:18,800
Replacing
1156
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:20,800
Claudel Washington in right.
1157
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:24,800
And Fad Bosley comes in to play
1158
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:26,800
left field.
1159
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,800
So we have an outfield
1160
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:30,800
of Bosley and left.
1161
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:32,800
Center and center and Molinero in right.
1162
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:34,800
In field. Friar is at first.
1163
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:36,800
Friar at second.
1164
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:38,800
Pessinger at short. Satterholm at third.
1165
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:40,800
And Mike Colbert
1166
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:42,800
behind the plate. And we look down
1167
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:44,800
to the Kansas City bullpen.
1168
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:46,800
Marty Patz for the right hander.
1169
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:48,800
And Doug Byrd a right hander.
1170
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:50,800
A warming up. Waleba White Sox bullpen.
1171
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:52,800
Laren Legro a right hander.
1172
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:54,800
And Pablo Torrealba a left hander warming up
1173
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:56,800
for the White Sox. Hal McCray leads
1174
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:58,800
it off in the eighth. White Sox leading
1175
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,800
three to one.
1176
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:02,800
He's 0 for 2 tonight. Got on on a walk his
1177
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:04,800
last time up.
1178
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:08,800
Here's a 1-0 picture. The swing and a
1179
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:10,800
one hopper to Kessinger.
1180
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:12,800
Throws him out. It wasn't that easy.
1181
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,800
That ball hopped about three feet in front of him
1182
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:16,800
and came up quickly. But he glubbed
1183
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:18,800
it about waist high and throws him out for the
1184
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:20,800
first out of the inning.
1185
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:26,800
Will
1186
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:28,800
Lombardo who's now directing the
1187
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:30,800
Glenn Lombardo and Royal Canadian
1188
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:32,800
Orchestra here tonight
1189
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:34,800
along with other fellows in the band.
1190
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:36,800
Rich Atkins, Les Clark and Rich
1191
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:38,800
Chiminko. Hopefully the White Sox
1192
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:40,800
win here tonight.
1193
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:42,800
Pete LaCocca batter 1 for 3 tonight.
1194
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:44,800
Pitch 1 to left center field in the first
1195
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:46,800
pitch going way back. Spencer
1196
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:48,800
he's there. He's got it.
1197
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:50,800
And keeps left center field on the grass.
1198
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:54,800
The LaCocca gave that a ride.
1199
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:56,800
That is only the fourth put out by
1200
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:58,800
an outfielder here tonight.
1201
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:00,800
And slowly has kept the ball low.
1202
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:04,800
Ken and Patty Kramer. They're four children
1203
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:08,800
of Marion, Illinois at the ballpark.
1204
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:10,800
Ken Burley,
1205
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:12,800
Pinsach. Five years old.
1206
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:16,800
Here
1207
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:18,800
her first ballgame.
1208
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:20,800
P-I-E-T-R-Z-A-K.
1209
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:22,800
And the internal revenue
1210
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:24,800
agents accept organizations and employee
1211
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:26,800
plan divisions are at the ballpark tonight.
1212
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:32,800
And the good old boys
1213
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:34,800
from the community family centers
1214
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:36,800
are in attendance. And we appreciate
1215
01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:38,800
Leonard Sherman passing up that note on Ken
1216
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:40,800
Burley. As Jimmy said, not much
1217
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:42,800
different from the defensive abilities of
1218
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:44,800
Jim Landis and Ken Burley.
1219
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:46,800
With great years with the White Sox.
1220
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:50,800
Right hander ready. Here's the pitch.
1221
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:52,800
I think Landis played at this ballpark
1222
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:54,800
more when it was wide
1223
01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:56,800
open than Burley did.
1224
01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:58,800
Meaning the
1225
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:00,800
defense was not at center field that much when
1226
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:02,800
Landis was here opposed to when Ken
1227
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:04,800
Burley was here. I may be mistaken, but I'm almost
1228
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:06,800
certain that Landis played
1229
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:08,800
more in this park
1230
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:10,800
with a 445 to straight away center.
1231
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:12,800
Al Collins, one
1232
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:14,800
for three tonight, bows off
1233
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:16,800
the first pitch. Here's the second offering by
1234
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:18,800
Burley. And it's outside of all.
1235
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:22,800
The White Sox that shut out Kansas City
1236
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:24,800
for 17 straight innings
1237
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:26,800
before Porter, Holbert, and the fourth.
1238
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:28,800
Now Burley is shutting out.
1239
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:34,800
Since that time, that was a lead off
1240
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:36,800
homer. Here's the pitch swing and a fly ball
1241
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:38,800
lost at the right center. Spencer coming over.
1242
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:40,800
Molinaro coming over and Spencer
1243
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:42,800
takes it. And that
1244
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:44,800
retires the side. One, two, three.
1245
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:46,800
As the Royals go down
1246
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:48,800
in order. And that is
1247
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:50,800
only the second time they've been set down in order
1248
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:52,800
tonight. So we go to the bottom
1249
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:54,800
of the eighth. The White Sox three, Kansas
1250
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:56,800
City one.
1251
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:56,800
The best
1252
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:26,800
point.
1253
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:28,800
Brown back at Tumiski Park as we go to the bottom
1254
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:30,800
of the eighth. Paul Splendor faces
1255
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:32,800
John Kessinger here. White Sox
1256
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:34,800
leading three to one. Here's the swing and a fly ball
1257
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:36,800
left center field of the base hit. Porter's
1258
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:38,800
over to cut it off. Here goes Kessinger
1259
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:40,800
headed for second. Now he stops and goes back
1260
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:42,800
to first. The White Sox get
1261
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:44,800
their lead off man on.
1262
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:46,800
A pair of right handers in the bullpen for
1263
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:48,800
the Royals. Marty Patton and Doug Byrd.
1264
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:50,800
Rather Steve
1265
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:52,800
Foucault continue to throw.
1266
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:54,800
Kessinger with his second hit of the
1267
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:56,800
ninth.
1268
01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:58,800
Looking ahead to the Kansas City
1269
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:00,800
ninth Ohio.
1270
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:02,800
Gerald Porter, Clint Hurdle and Amos
1271
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:04,800
Ode. Two left handers
1272
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:06,800
and a right hander to face right
1273
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:08,800
hander Mike Brody.
1274
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,800
Mike Squires the batter. He
1275
01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:14,800
triggered that two run rally.
1276
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:16,800
And the six inning with nobody on and two out with a
1277
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:18,800
single and the pitch to him is a strike on the outside
1278
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:20,800
Porter. After he had struck out
1279
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:22,800
right almost made a great play on the ball
1280
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:24,800
but it just got over his outstretched
1281
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:26,800
right center.
1282
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:28,800
That Johnson single that
1283
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:30,800
Sonderholt doubled the left as Hurdle
1284
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,800
made a poor attempt on the ball. There's a big
1285
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:36,800
break. Here goes the runner outside of
1286
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:38,800
ball. Throw to second. Goes in standing
1287
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:40,800
to stolen base.
1288
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:42,800
Doug Kessinger with a stolen base.
1289
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:46,800
I don't think they really expected Kessinger
1290
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:48,800
to be going here with nobody out and the
1291
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:50,800
fact that he is thirty six years old
1292
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:52,800
that is his second stolen base
1293
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:54,800
of the year. So now the
1294
01:34:54,800 --> 01:34:56,800
White Sox with a runner in scoring position
1295
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:58,800
and nobody out.
1296
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:02,800
Here's the pitch.
1297
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:04,800
Outside of all two and one.
1298
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:08,800
White Sox hoping to add an insurance run here
1299
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:10,800
in the eighth inning.
1300
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:14,800
Sox has defeated Kansas City. Six out of
1301
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:18,800
eleven games this year.
1302
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:22,800
Left handed ready. Here's the two one pitch.
1303
01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:24,800
And it is fouled off
1304
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:26,800
the left side by
1305
01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:28,800
Squires as he was trying to put
1306
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:30,800
Kessinger over to third.
1307
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:36,800
It's the final game of the year between the
1308
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:38,800
Royals and the White Sox here in Chicago.
1309
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:40,800
White Sox will be in Kansas City
1310
01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:42,800
Monday, Tuesday
1311
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:44,800
and Wednesday night.
1312
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,800
We'll have Smootorf going against the Sox
1313
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:48,800
for the fifth time this year.
1314
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,800
Not Monday.
1315
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:52,800
Left handed ready.
1316
01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:54,800
The two two delivery.
1317
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:56,800
Swing and a foul coming up stairs below it.
1318
01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:58,800
And a couple of fans
1319
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:00,800
battle for it.
1320
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:02,800
The man who got it
1321
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:04,800
stuck it gets it. Guy who
1322
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:06,800
touched it first just has a red hand.
1323
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:12,800
Nothing more, nothing less.
1324
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:14,800
Two-tip account.
1325
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:16,800
Smootorf ready. Out of the stretch. Kessinger
1326
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:18,800
with the lead off the second. Here's the pitch
1327
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:20,800
Squires. Put in another foul
1328
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:22,800
this time to the left of it.
1329
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:24,800
Fans dropped it
1330
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:26,800
in the first row of that back
1331
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:28,800
section in the upper deck.
1332
01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:30,800
And the fan in the back row of the first section
1333
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:32,800
grabbed it.
1334
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:34,800
So we've had a couple of errors
1335
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:36,800
in the upper deck.
1336
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:38,800
Here in the eighth.
1337
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:40,800
Smootorf ready.
1338
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:42,800
Two-two pitch.
1339
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:44,800
Halt strike free. Stuck him out for the
1340
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:46,800
third time tonight.
1341
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:52,800
Now Mike a little disgusted
1342
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:54,800
but he battled him in that last inning
1343
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:56,800
and last time he was up
1344
01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:58,800
and singled that trigger the two run rally
1345
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:00,800
which has the White Sox out at front now
1346
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:02,800
as Whitey Herzog
1347
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:04,800
comes to the mound and right-hander Lamar
1348
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:06,800
Johnson is up.
1349
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:08,800
So he I would imagine
1350
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:10,800
will bring in either Foucault
1351
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:12,800
or Marty Patton
1352
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:14,800
pair of right-handers for both ends.
1353
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:20,800
He wants Foucault
1354
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:22,800
right-hander to come in to face Lamar Johnson
1355
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:24,800
here in the eighth with the White Sox
1356
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:26,800
leading by a score
1357
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:28,800
of three to one. We'll be back
1358
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:30,800
in a minute. Is that you Selma?
1359
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:32,800
Yes it is.
1360
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:34,800
Still on the shopping for the party now?
1361
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:36,800
Yes I am.
1362
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:38,800
Pardon me.
1363
01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:40,800
Who is this man?
1364
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:42,800
This man here.
1365
01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:44,800
I promised him a
1366
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:46,800
J's potato chips.
1367
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:48,800
See at the market your wife bought all of the J's
1368
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:50,800
on the shelf for your party and the little
1369
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:52,800
you left for me.
1370
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:54,800
J's are not like J's.
1371
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:56,800
J's are made from thinly sliced
1372
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:58,800
fresh whole potatoes.
1373
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:00,800
I brought my wife home for potato chips.
1374
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:02,800
They're cooked in corn oil and cottonseed oil.
1375
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:04,800
Tastes great.
1376
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:06,800
Here you are.
1377
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:08,800
Thank you.
1378
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:10,800
I could finish it outside in the rain.
1379
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:12,800
Would you like another one?
1380
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:14,800
I wonder if you have any milk and house Selma?
1381
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:16,800
Oh sure.
1382
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:18,800
How about a sandwich?
1383
01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:20,800
Thank you.
1384
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:22,800
I'll be very happy.
1385
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:24,800
J's the natural potato chips.
1386
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,800
You're for real.
1387
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:30,800
Steve Funkkopf comes in for Kansas City.
1388
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:32,800
They've just picked him up on waivers
1389
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:34,800
for the Detroit Tigers.
1390
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:36,800
He replaces Paul Spudorf.
1391
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:38,800
Spudorf went seven in a third innings.
1392
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:40,800
He allowed all white shots three runs.
1393
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:42,800
On eight hits he walked the man
1394
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:44,800
and he struck out three.
1395
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:46,800
And he is responsible for the runner
1396
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:52,800
over at second base.
1397
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:58,800
Now Funkkopf with Detroit had one-two lost four
1398
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:02,800
with four saves.
1399
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:04,800
With an earned run average of 3.37.
1400
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:06,800
They don't have any stats on them
1401
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:08,800
for Kansas City so I will imagine
1402
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:10,800
this is his first appearance
1403
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:18,800
with the Kansas City Royals.
1404
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:20,800
Pittsburgh defeated Atlanta tonight
1405
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:22,800
5-1.
1406
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:24,800
Ten victories in a row for the Pirates.
1407
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:30,800
And they have now moved into an identical tie
1408
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:36,800
for second place with the Cubs.
1409
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:46,800
Both clubs with a record of 63 wins against 62 on.
1410
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:48,800
The Pirates are coming, tra la la la.
1411
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:52,800
Bob Glass is with Associated Press here in Chicago
1412
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:54,800
informing us that the Pirates have a much easier way to go
1413
01:39:54,800 --> 01:40:00,800
than either the Bullies or the Cubs.
1414
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:04,800
Lamar Johnson the batter facing Funkkopf
1415
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:08,800
making his first appearance for the Kansas City Royals.
1416
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:10,800
Flylevin was the winner in that Pirate game.
1417
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:11,800
He's now 11-8.
1418
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:13,800
Mikro the loser five and 14.
1419
01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:14,800
Here's the pitch.
1420
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:16,800
Here's a swing and a long drive.
1421
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:22,800
Be out of play into the seat.
1422
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:25,800
Lamar touching that ball to the left.
1423
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:29,800
Really not a lot of oop behind him.
1424
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:33,800
And an art foul.
1425
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:37,800
Cincinnati has changed pitchers in the eighth.
1426
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:39,800
Cardinals leading 4-3.
1427
01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:41,800
Bears come on the pitch.
1428
01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:42,800
Right-hander ready.
1429
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:43,800
Here's the one strike pitch.
1430
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:45,800
Here's a swing and a base hit into the left center field.
1431
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:47,800
Here comes the runner around the score.
1432
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:49,800
Lamar makes the turn at first and comes back.
1433
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:53,800
And it's a 4-1 ballgame.
1434
01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:56,800
So Whitey Herzog going with the percentages
1435
01:40:56,800 --> 01:41:00,800
bringing in the right-hander to face the right-handed hitter.
1436
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:01,800
And it didn't work.
1437
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:04,800
And that run is charged to Swidor.
1438
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:07,800
So Swidor's total statistics for the night,
1439
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:11,800
seven and a third in each pitch, four runs on eight hits.
1440
01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:16,800
The man is struck out three.
1441
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:18,800
And the batter is Eric Sonderholm,
1442
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:23,800
who up until Lamar's RBI singles has driven in all three White Sox
1443
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:25,800
runs tonight with a pair of doubles.
1444
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:27,800
Double Homer running the fourth to tie the game.
1445
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:31,800
Double Homer two in the sixth to get the White Sox to lead 3-1.
1446
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,800
Now up there with the White Sox leading 4-1.
1447
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:37,800
And a runner at first with one out here in the bottom half of the eighth inning.
1448
01:41:37,800 --> 01:41:43,800
And now Foucault wants to talk to his catcher, Darryl Porter.
1449
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:45,800
Another baseball today.
1450
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:46,800
Cleveland beat Milwaukee.
1451
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:49,800
Andre Thornton, a home run in the 11th, 9-8.
1452
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:53,800
Texas beat Minnesota 4-1, a three-run homer by Sundberg in the 10th.
1453
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:57,800
And tonight Detroit leading Toronto 5-2 in the ninth.
1454
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:01,800
And the White Sox leading Kansas City 4-1 in the eighth.
1455
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:03,800
Check the National League for you in a moment.
1456
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:07,800
Foucault working out of the stretch delivers, and it's up high of all.
1457
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:11,800
The Pirates won their tenth in a row, beating Atlanta 5-1,
1458
01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:14,800
moving into a second place tie with the Idol Cup.
1459
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:17,800
Cardinals now leading Cincinnati 4-3.
1460
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:19,800
That game has now moved into the bottom of the eighth.
1461
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:21,800
Right-hander Ruddy, here's the pitch.
1462
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:23,800
Inside of all, ball two.
1463
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:26,800
Metfleet San Diego 1-0 at the end of one.
1464
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:29,800
Philadelphia just underway in Los Angeles.
1465
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:33,800
And we've been informed that pitcher Don Sutton has called the news conference
1466
01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:38,800
to apologize publicly to Steve Garvey for the remarks that he made about it
1467
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:41,800
in a newspaper article on the result fight between the two.
1468
01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:43,800
Here's the two.
1469
01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:44,800
Oh, pitch.
1470
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:46,800
Going alongside the left hurdle is there to his left,
1471
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:50,800
and he's got it about 10 feet in front of the warning track in left field.
1472
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:55,800
And there's two down.
1473
01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:57,800
Two out, and Mike Colburn the batter.
1474
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:00,800
He has flied out the center, flied out the left, and popped up the short.
1475
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:03,800
0-3 tonight.
1476
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:08,800
Not only has Sutton made some unkind remarks about Garvey
1477
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:12,800
as well as his family in the newspaper, but he's got a radio show out in L.A.
1478
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:15,800
and he has gone after him on that.
1479
01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:21,800
Just a matter of jealousy on the part of Sutton and a couple of the Dodgers,
1480
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:24,800
including Bill Buckner now with the Cubs, who used to be a Dodger.
1481
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:27,800
Here's the pitch swing and a miss.
1482
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:34,800
It was Garvey, you know, who moved Buckner off the first base
1483
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:35,800
and made him expendable.
1484
01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:40,800
That's one of the reasons they were able to trade him to the Cubs.
1485
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:42,800
He was upset at Garvey over that.
1486
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:44,800
Here's the pitch outside of all.
1487
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:48,800
How in the world, anybody, if you legitimately get beat out
1488
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:57,800
for a position to be upset or replaced in a job,
1489
01:43:57,800 --> 01:43:59,800
it's beyond me.
1490
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:02,800
But at any rate, Sutton, when I give him credit for it,
1491
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:04,800
apologized publicly tonight before that game to Garvey.
1492
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:07,800
Here's the pitch outside of all.
1493
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:20,800
Two balls and a strike.
1494
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:22,800
Never be afraid to admit you're wrong.
1495
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:25,800
Mr. Sutton did that tonight.
1496
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:27,800
Here's the pitch outside, three and one.
1497
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:30,800
Bad one here with foot runners at first and second.
1498
01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:34,800
Bring up the left-hander, Bob Molinaro.
1499
01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:37,800
The left-hander of the Kansas City Bullpen replaced Pucall
1500
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,800
when he came in the ball game, and that's Steve Mingori.
1501
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:44,800
Marty Patton, the right-hander, still throwing.
1502
01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:45,800
Right-hander ready.
1503
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:46,800
Here's the pitch.
1504
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:49,800
Here's the swing and a base hit down the left-field line.
1505
01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:52,800
Lamar Johnson holds up the second as Hurdle charges the ball
1506
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:54,800
and gets it into the infield.
1507
01:44:54,800 --> 01:45:00,800
That's the second hit off of Pucall, and here comes Whitey Herzog.
1508
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:05,800
And he's going to bring in the left-hander, Mingori, to face Molinaro.
1509
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:08,800
So Pucall fits the third of an inning.
1510
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:09,800
He's allowed two hits.
1511
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:14,800
It's responsible for the two runners, Coburn at first
1512
01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:17,800
and Lamar Johnson at second.
1513
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:21,800
Four to one, the White backs out in front here.
1514
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:26,800
Mingori making his 37th appearance of the year.
1515
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:27,800
He's won one.
1516
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:29,800
He's lost three.
1517
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:34,800
He's saved seven for the Royals, which his second hide is Robovsky's 16.
1518
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:42,800
And he has an earned run average of 2.68.
1519
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:47,800
So Pucall, making his first appearance as a Royal,
1520
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:52,800
allows two hits that resulted in a run scoring charged to split orbs
1521
01:45:52,800 --> 01:45:58,800
in a third of an inning.
1522
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:06,800
Mingori this year has pitched a total of six innings against the White Sox,
1523
01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:08,800
allowing only one run on five hits.
1524
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:14,800
He's walked a man and struck out three.
1525
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:17,800
Has the third best earned run average against the White Sox for any of the Royals,
1526
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:21,800
according to their reports, ERA of 1.50.
1527
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:25,800
So manager Whitey Herzog, again, playing the percentages
1528
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:31,800
that backfired on him earlier this inning.
1529
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:34,800
Well, the Fox the Gram reminding the fans that Boston is going to be in concert here
1530
01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:36,800
on Saturday, September 2nd.
1531
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:38,800
White Sox will be out of town.
1532
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:44,800
I guess Santana is going to be here also, as well as...
1533
01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:52,800
Eddie Bunney.
1534
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:56,800
Well, Len Sherman, who's Leon Sherman, who's listening tonight here at the ballpark,
1535
01:46:56,800 --> 01:47:00,800
we're talking about defense.
1536
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:06,800
For some reason I thought that the center field was all the way to 445
1537
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:12,800
as part of Landis's career, but he says no, it was 415 feet when Landis played here.
1538
01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:18,800
Then when Mary was here, it stated 415, then they moved it in to about 400.
1539
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:21,800
I guess that's why I remember Landis on the warning track.
1540
01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:24,800
Here's a pitch of foot coming in as Brett, he's got it.
1541
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:27,800
Paul Harrow trying to put his way on.
1542
01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:30,800
Punched it right into the net of George Brett, and that retires the side.
1543
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:37,800
In the inning, White Sox at an insurance run on three hits, no errors, two men left on.
1544
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:41,800
So we go to the ninth, it's the White Sox for Kansas City 1.
1545
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:54,800
40 Chevy Monza.
1546
01:47:54,800 --> 01:48:12,800
Whoever thought a car that looked so good and moved so well would be quite so low, $2,659.
1547
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:14,800
A very stylish little number.
1548
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:37,800
The new Chevy Monza, $3,659, for a car so sporty and so well equipped, its price surprisingly low.
1549
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:41,800
See your local Chevrolet leader now.
1550
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:45,800
Lord Brown back at Kaniski Park as we go to the ninth, it'll be Darrell Porter,
1551
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:50,800
Quinn Hurdle, and Amos Otis, two left-handers and a right-hander to face Mike Brolick.
1552
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:55,800
In the bullpen for the White Sox, right-hander Laren LeGro.
1553
01:48:55,800 --> 01:49:00,800
White Sox out in front here by a score of 4 to 1.
1554
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:11,800
Now talking about Landis and Berry, two outstanding centerfielders along the ilk of Johnny Mostel years ago.
1555
01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:15,800
And we appreciate Leon Sherman's help in that matter.
1556
01:49:15,800 --> 01:49:23,800
I didn't get a chance to see those guys that much because I was downstate at St. Louis Cardinal games most of the time.
1557
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:30,800
Working in Springfield and Peoria, and we didn't get too many White Sox color-casts in those days down there.
1558
01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:35,800
WMAQ wasn't broadcasting the White Sox in those days.
1559
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:37,800
Darrell Porter tonight is two for three.
1560
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:41,800
He's accounted for the lone Kansas City run with a leadoff homer in the fourth inning.
1561
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:50,800
The White Sox had shut the Royals out for 17 innings when they hit that home run.
1562
01:49:50,800 --> 01:50:05,800
White Sox now allowed Kansas City only one run in the last 22 innings.
1563
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:08,800
Schuller shut them out for three and two-thirds the other night.
1564
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:10,800
Wilber shut them out for two innings.
1565
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:14,800
Wilber Wood, Kravick shut them out on three hits and nine innings last night.
1566
01:50:14,800 --> 01:50:19,800
And Broly has allowed only one run and eight innings here tonight, and that being the home run by Porter.
1567
01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:21,800
Right-hander into the windup.
1568
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:23,800
Here's the pitch, and it's low.
1569
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:29,800
This is the only American League game going on right now as the Tigers have just defeated Toronto 5-2.
1570
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:34,800
Wilcox over more. Jason Thompson, the game's only homer, is 23rd of the year.
1571
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:41,800
Here's the 1-0 pitch, swinging a foul on a play at the upper deck on the left side near the skybox.
1572
01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:51,800
One ball, one strike in the batter.
1573
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:54,800
Right-hander goes into the windup.
1574
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:55,800
Here's the pitch.
1575
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:57,800
Swing and a miss, right-two.
1576
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:00,800
That ball moving in on the left-handed hitter.
1577
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:09,800
Kansas City on Porter's home run took the lead in the top of the fourth, 1-0.
1578
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:14,800
But Eric Soderholm doubles home Ralph Gahr, who had tripled in the fourth to tie it up.
1579
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:17,800
Here's the 1-2 pitch outside of all.
1580
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:21,800
And the White Sox on Soderholm's second double of the night.
1581
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:27,800
Sits the lead in the sixth with two runs after Sox had nobody on and two out, and they rallied for two.
1582
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:30,800
Then Lamar Johnson, single homer, running the eighth to make it four to one.
1583
01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:31,800
Here's the 2-2 delivery.
1584
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:33,800
Swing to the grounder, right side.
1585
01:51:33,800 --> 01:51:34,800
Prior to his left has it.
1586
01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:37,800
Throws, he got it.
1587
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:40,800
One out, two to go.
1588
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:45,800
As Clint Hurdle steps up, he has swung out to the left twice.
1589
01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:53,800
He's grounded into a 3-6-3 double play and defensively he overran a ball in the left field corner,
1590
01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:58,800
dropped to his left at the base of the wall that allowed the White Sox to score two runs.
1591
01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:02,800
A ball was catchable.
1592
01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:03,800
And that gave the White Sox the lead.
1593
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:12,800
Here's the pitch, swinging a foul out of play as it goes on the roof over the skybox.
1594
01:52:12,800 --> 01:52:13,800
Four to one.
1595
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:14,800
White Sox out in front.
1596
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:21,800
They've out-hit the Royals 10 to 6.
1597
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:22,800
Here's the pitch.
1598
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:25,800
Swing to the grounder, takes a high hop into right field of base in.
1599
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:31,800
Prior to his left, couldn't come up with it as it took a high hop over his mid.
1600
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:37,800
And the Royals have a runner at first with one out, and Amos Otis the batter.
1601
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,800
Otis one for three tonight.
1602
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:45,800
Boy, Prior got a good jump on that ball that was there, but it high hopped him.
1603
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:50,800
He had to be about 6-3 in order to get that one.
1604
01:52:50,800 --> 01:52:55,800
And the batter is Amos Otis, singled in the second, slide out the center in the fourth,
1605
01:52:55,800 --> 01:53:00,800
and grounded to third in the seventh.
1606
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:07,800
Washington is going to run for hurdle.
1607
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:12,800
UL Washington running here.
1608
01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:16,800
Washington has stolen 11 bases.
1609
01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:18,800
They've got Willie Wilson on the bench.
1610
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:23,800
He has stolen 35, but the word is that Washington is the better base runner,
1611
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:29,800
though sheer speed it's Willie Wilson.
1612
01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:34,800
His run really doesn't mean that much.
1613
01:53:34,800 --> 01:53:44,800
Right hander ready, here's the pitch, runner not going, swing and a foul off to the right side.
1614
01:53:44,800 --> 01:53:49,800
Ready, pot deck in the on deck circle.
1615
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:56,800
White Sox leading 4-1 trying to win the series, two games to one.
1616
01:53:56,800 --> 01:54:01,800
It's a great season series here at Kavisky Park, 4-3 with a victory tonight.
1617
01:54:01,800 --> 01:54:04,800
It would also put the Royals in second place.
1618
01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:07,800
Right hander ready, runner not going, here's the pitch, swing and a base hit to the left.
1619
01:54:07,800 --> 01:54:13,800
Now the Royals have a trying run up in the form of Freddie Potteck as Pat Mosley gets the ball back into the infield
1620
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:19,800
as Otis pulls the single to the left.
1621
01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:25,800
And now Larry Doby, White Sox manager, goes to the mound.
1622
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:30,800
It's not a grow or right hander down in the bullpen.
1623
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:38,800
The White Sox at one time had a slew of left-handed reliefers, but right now
1624
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:43,800
Pablo Torreal with Wilbur Woods.
1625
01:54:43,800 --> 01:54:53,800
Left handers in the starting rotation are Baumgart and Craving.
1626
01:54:53,800 --> 01:55:01,800
Doby going to keep them in, we're going to get a pinch hitter here.
1627
01:55:01,800 --> 01:55:08,800
Steve Braun is going to pinch hit for Potteck.
1628
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:15,800
Potteck was 0-3 against Foley, so Herzog going with the percentages, going with Steve Braun
1629
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:20,800
who they acquired for Jim Colbert from Seattle earlier this year.
1630
01:55:20,800 --> 01:55:25,800
Hitting 268 with the Royals with 11 RBIs.
1631
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:30,800
Hitting 248 overall for the year, three homers, 26 RBIs.
1632
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:34,800
He represents the tying run.
1633
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:37,800
We're in the ninth.
1634
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:42,800
Right hander ready, here's the pitch and it's lower ball.
1635
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:45,800
Foley got Porter and Hurdle.
1636
01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:50,800
Got out of the base hit, Washington running for him and Otis single to left.
1637
01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:55,800
The tying run is at the plate.
1638
01:55:55,800 --> 01:55:58,800
Right hander ready, working out of the stretch.
1639
01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:02,800
Here's the pitch and that's the strike.
1640
01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:05,800
He was up to Braun, one ball, one strike.
1641
01:56:05,800 --> 01:56:08,800
Frank White in the on-deck circle.
1642
01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:16,800
Legro continues to loosen up, White Sox will bend.
1643
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:21,800
White Sox has turned over one double play tonight, a second in this situation with F the ballgame.
1644
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:35,800
Right hander ready, here's the pitch, swinging it louder to third, going to second for one, relay, not in time.
1645
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:43,800
So Otis, the middle man, has retired five to four.
1646
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:47,800
Larry Dolby walking towards the umpire.
1647
01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:50,800
Now he goes to the mound.
1648
01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:55,800
Apparently Pryor got stepped on.
1649
01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:58,800
Well, they're talking to Foley.
1650
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:09,800
Something happened to Foley.
1651
01:57:09,800 --> 01:57:12,800
We're going to get a pitch hitter for Frank White.
1652
01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:15,800
I don't know what Foley did to himself.
1653
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:21,800
Paul was grounded to Sotterholm.
1654
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:26,800
Sotterholm on that play, one for the double play, the second on the first, and they didn't get it.
1655
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:31,800
He had a chance to tag the runner, Washington, coming down the line.
1656
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:35,800
But he thought he could get the double play and the White Sox just didn't miss getting it.
1657
01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:43,800
So the Royals have runners at first and third, and Laren Legro comes in for Foley here.
1658
01:57:43,800 --> 01:57:50,800
With two out and two on, he had the name.
1659
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:53,800
What happened to Foley, we know not.
1660
01:57:53,800 --> 01:58:00,800
He might have done something with his ankle the way he was walking off, I don't know.
1661
01:58:00,800 --> 01:58:06,800
But Charlie Satt spotted it right away and went out to the mound.
1662
01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:11,800
Tom Moquette from Oclair, Wisconsin, a left-hander.
1663
01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:14,800
We'll pitch hit here.
1664
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:22,800
And the ninth with representing the tying run.
1665
01:58:22,800 --> 01:58:24,800
He's at first and third and two out.
1666
01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:26,800
Moquette hitting 205.
1667
01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:29,800
He's hit three homers and driven in 25 runs.
1668
01:58:29,800 --> 01:58:33,800
Frank White, while he was in there with one for two, he had singles grounded out to short.
1669
01:58:33,800 --> 01:58:39,800
And they also got on on a walk.
1670
01:58:39,800 --> 01:58:44,800
At the bottom of the ninth at Cincinnati, the Cardinals leading the Reds 4-3.
1671
01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:47,800
The Pirates defeated Atlanta 5-1 tonight for their 10th straight.
1672
01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:51,800
They moved into a tie for second with the Cubs.
1673
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:53,800
The Reds beat San Diego 1-0 at the end of two.
1674
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:55,800
The Phillies at Los Angeles just underway.
1675
01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:57,800
Those are the only games in the National League tonight.
1676
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:01,800
Everything in the American League is over, with the exception of this game.
1677
01:59:01,800 --> 01:59:03,800
This afternoon, Texas over Minnesota 4-1.
1678
01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:05,800
Cleveland beat Milwaukee 9-8.
1679
01:59:05,800 --> 01:59:09,800
And tonight, the Tigers snap Toronto's.
1680
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:14,800
Winning straight to sixth straight, defeating the Blue Jays 5-2.
1681
01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:17,800
So Po kept the batter.
1682
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:20,800
And Pete Bukovic and the Cardinals just beat Cincinnati 4-3.
1683
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:21,800
The Reds are all over.
1684
01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:23,800
Here's the pitch.
1685
01:59:23,800 --> 01:59:25,800
Here's a swing and a fly ball to the right.
1686
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:26,800
Bolinero is there.
1687
01:59:26,800 --> 01:59:28,800
This should be the ball game.
1688
01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:29,800
He's got it.
1689
01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:31,800
That's win.
1690
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:36,800
They have allowed the Kansas City Royals only one run in the last 23 innings of the
1691
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:50,800
season, two games to one.
1692
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:56,800
In the inning, no runs, two hits, no errors, two men left on.
1693
01:59:56,800 --> 02:00:02,800
And 14,524 leave the ballpark on a happy note.
1694
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:06,800
The White Sox hit the season series against the Royals here in Chicago, four games to
1695
02:00:06,800 --> 02:00:07,800
three.
1696
02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:33,800
And we'll be back in just a minute with the Cardinals and the Highline.
