2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,000
First base hitting number six. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/glenn-hubbard/>Glenn Hubbard</a>'s second base is batting seventh.

3
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Rod Gelbrich, the third base, is batting in the number eight position.

4
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
And the picker is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a>.

5
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
For the Giants, Phil Matlock leads off the second base.

6
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Terry Fuchsfield in left field, batting second.

7
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Mike Ivey, the first baseman, hitting number three.

8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-evans/>Darrell Evans</a>, the third base, batting fourth.

9
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Eddie Cruz in center field, batting number five.

10
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-dwyer/>Jim Dwyer</a> in right field, batting sixth.

11
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Jeff DiMargo, the catcher, hitting seventh.

12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-metzger/>Roger Metzger</a>, the shortstop, hitting eighth.

13
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
And Ed Halecki, fully doing the pitching.

14
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Roy Drew steps to the plate with a 266 batting average.

15
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Two home runs, 33 RBI's.

16
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Halecki, eight and eight in this 1978 season.

17
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
His pitch is a slider outside for a ball one and O.

18
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Two and five, lifetime against the Braves.

19
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Halecki was a 7.3-8 earned run average.

20
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Mike calls one and one.

21
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Oh, one pitch.

22
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Like two calls.

23
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Nothing to do.

24
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Halecki in front of Roy Drew, no balls to two strikes.

25
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Halecki looking in for the target from DiMargo, the O-26.

26
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Fly ball left field, Fuchsfield goes back under this one.

27
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And then comes in, makes the catch out number one.

28
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000

Where is the consent here?

33
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Air personnel involved in this broadcast were approved, but it's well not exactly approved.

34
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Well, they said it was okay.

35
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Temporarily.

36
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-francisco-giants/1978/overview/>San Francisco Giants</a> was taking care of the phone.

37
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Halecki takes low for a ball, takes outside for a ball of two and O.

38
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
In fact, I'm waiting for the phone to ring now.

39
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Two and nothing.

40
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Halecki is too okay.

41
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Two and six. And the office really fooled by that one.

42
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Office thought that was going to be a fast ball or some pitch inside to him.

43
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
He fell away and it was a slow breaking ball that dropped in over the play.

44
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Office looked at Halecki as though he has a mirror on the mound.

45
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Two and six.

46
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Fast ball, low for ball three, close.

47
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/pete-ward/>Pete Ward</a> coaches it first time, Burgess the third for the Braves, the three-one pitch.

48
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Granted the shortstop, up with it in Mepsker, is slow and two-minute down.

49
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Office really looked at Halecki as though Halecki had come up with some real trick pitch.

50
00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:00,000
It was rolling, it's falling away from that ball and then it was a slow breaking pitch that dropped in.

51
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Two and down and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> hitting 282, 16 over, 59 RBI.

52
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
It's like glowing inside for a ball of one and O.

53
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Halecki making his 26th appearance of the year.

54
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Ground ball base hit by a diving Evans in the left field. Matthews singles the left.

55
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
But he'll get the ball back in. Halecki will not pitch a no-hitter against the Braves today.

56
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
And it'll bring up Jeff Burrows batting 314.

57
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Bill Matlock has projected himself into the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/leagues/NL/1978/overview/>National League</a>.

58
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Batting race lead, he has taken over that lead.

59
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Matlock looking for his third batting championship in his major league career, which has not spanned that many years.

60
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000
He's a 316, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-parker/>Dave Parker</a> is 316 and Jeff Burrows is batting now 314.

61
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Matlock rooting for Burrows to make out here, it's a throw to first base. Matthews dives back in.

62
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Right hand batter against Halecki, the outfield. Back up, throw to first. Oh, he had him moving the wrong way. Halecki almost picked him off.

63
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Matthews little boy is a dugout watching the game. He doesn't want to get embarrassed by being picked off at first base.

64
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Lead by Gary, pitch on the way to Burrows is low from all one else.

65
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:38,000
And there's a small crowd here today watching the Braves.

66
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Throw to first. The hope just as we can against the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1978/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a>, the Giants drive to hold off the Reds.

67
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:59,000
These fans will be out to support the ball club that brought so much excitement to Campbell's.

68
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:08,000
They've done an outstanding job, unfortunately falling into a slump that has seen them win only one out of nine, drop them seven games back to the Dodgers.

69
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Pitch to Burrows is a strike, and it's one and one.

70
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
That's the overall picture of 1978 if anyone would have said.

71
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Before they started playing training, the Giants would be in second place seven games back or not when they found too many believers.

72
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Breaking ball low for ball two, two and one.

73
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Would you have believed Joe?

74
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Count of two balls and a strike.

75
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Stretched by Hellekeet.

76
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,000
The look at first, Matthews runs the pitch taken, the throw to second, he's safe at second base.

77
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Matthews, he's in second base.

78
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000
The pitch taken, the throw to second, he's safe at second base.

79
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Matthews feels second.

80
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:17,000
And it's three and one to Burrows.

81
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Oh, runner in scoring position at second base.

82
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
The Braves have been running pretty much against the Giants in the series.

83
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Atlanta has already won this season's series against the Giants, as has Cincinnati, as has the Dodgers.

84
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000
The Giants are only ahead of Houston and San Diego in the Western Division.

85
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Ball for Burrows draws the base on ball.

86
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Runners at first and second.

87
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:58,000
And in the Eastern Division the Giants were even with Philadelphia, but well ahead of everyone else.

88
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
They've had difficulty in their own division.

89
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Runners at first and second with two down, Nolan the left-hand batter hitting 251, four home runs, 21 out of the eyes.

90
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Hellekeet stretches the pitch, breaking ball to strike, going one.

91
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,000
We're in the top of the first, beautiful afternoon in Candlestick.

92
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
The Giants are in second.

93
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Glantz is second.

94
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
The one-strike pitch misses out five for one and one.

95
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Even up count.

96
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
It's really warm out here today.

97
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
A little warm as a matter of fact.

98
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000
And breaking ball inside this time for two and one.

99
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Two ball, one strike count.

100
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Matthews away from second. Burrows from first. Left-hand batter wakes, takes outside, ball three.

101
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Hellekeet behind three and one on Nolan.

102
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:23,000
So after getting the first two batters, Matthews singles. Burrows walks on a three-one count. Now it's three and one to Nolan.

103
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Hellekeet three-one pitch. Strike two call, just got the outside corner full count.

104
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000
The runners will be going on this three-two pitch.

105
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Burrows from first, Matthews from second.

106
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Burrows from first, Matthews from second.

107
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Hellekeet trying to get over the 500 mark. He's won eight times in the last days, but a tough season for him.

108
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Early season injuries float him down.

109
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Three-two pitch, line drive, one hop to Matlock going a step to his right as it flows.

110
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
The first side retires.

111
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Nolan, one hit, no errors, two runners left on.

112
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
We're going to the bottom of the first. It is the Braves, nothing but Giants coming to bat.

113
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
The Braves coming to bat.

114
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Come on you, I'm never going to come on you again.

115
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,000
I'm going down the road with you, all the time you and me.

116
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Get ready for National Chevy Week America coming September 15 through the 23rd,

117
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
when Chevy dealers everywhere will be offering some great Chevy value.

118
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
There will be a big selection of cars and trucks for you to choose from, and many dealers will be extending their hours.

119
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,000
There will be great values on cars like Chevy Chevette, Monte Carlo, and the Chevrolet Capri and Impala,

120
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
on trucks like Chevy Law and Blazer, and on seven-band shoes.

121
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000
It will all be happening during National Chevy Week starting next Friday the 15th.

122
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
At your Chevy dealers, so get ready America.

123
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Come on you, I'm never going to come on you again.

124
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,000
I'm going down the road with you, all the time you and me.

125
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:23,000
The bottom of the first inning, the Braves on defense, Burrows in left office,

126
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
and center, Matthews in right, Gilbrus at third, Reusser at short, Hubbard at second,

127
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Murphy at first, Nolan catching, and Jimbounce doing the pitching.

128
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Jim, who I'm quite sure will be able to write another book after the 78 season.

129
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Bouton, who used to lose his cap all the time when he was a hard thrower with the Yankees,

130
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
has lost it again, throwing a knuckleball up here, losing it.

131
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Bouton wanted to prove a point that he could make it back into baseball.

132
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:08,000
He says that getting to the majors wasn't all that big in his plans,

133
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000
but that he just wanted to show somebody that he enjoys baseball,

134
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
and that he wanted to be able to play baseball.

135
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
He still can't keep the cap off.

136
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,000
He keeps falling off even though he was pitching with the Yankees.

137
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
That used to be a lot of bad for me.

138
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,000
I mean, how many times Bouton's cap would fall off every time was generally the winner.

139
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,000
He faced the Dodgers, went five innings, gave them six hits, six runs,

140
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
pitched three perfect innings against the Dodgers before things fell apart,

141
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000
and he faces Bill Matlock, the leading hitter with a 316 average.

142
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Bouton's pitch to Matlock, who takes the first strike, and Bouton loses the cap.

143
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Jim wrote the book ball for him.

144
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Knuckleball filed away to the left side strike to Matlock.

145
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Four hits against Neekro's knuckleball yesterday.

146
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Now the count, 11-2 to Bill leading off against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a>.

147
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Made some money and some enemies with his book ball for him as he stepped on a few toes.

148
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Knuckleball in the dirt for a ball, 1-2.

149
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
1-2 delivery, filed away.

150
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Some people were unkind enough to say that his ball for was actually an intentional walk,

151
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000
but it was a best seller.

152
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Even some of the people who were upset were probably reading it stiff and was in it.

153
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Knuckleball strike three.

154
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Oh, Matlock got caught looking.

155
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Bouton strikes that.

156
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,000
It would be very ironic if <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a> were to beat the Giants today because the Giants did not squawk that much,

157
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,000
but there was controversy about whether Bouton should be allowed to pitch to a penitent contender, the Dodgers.

158
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:39,000
But he did in his return to the big leagues. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/terry-whitfield/>Terry Whitfield</a> takes a low for a ball, but Dodgers routed him,

159
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
and there was further nasty things said.

160
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Now if he would beat the Giants, strike calls, it would be a little embarrassing.

161
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,000
1-1 count to Whitfield hitting 2-96 with nine home runs and 29 RBIs.

162
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Line drive, base hit right field.

163
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Over leaping second baseman Hubbard, Matthews up with the ball, gets it back to the infield.

164
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:16,000
And on its first base is Whitfield as Mike Ivy comes to play hitting 3-10 with 10 home runs and 49 RBIs.

165
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Ivy looking at Dave Bruckle.

166
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-evans/>Dale Evans</a> due up next.

167
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Whitfield with his lead at first, he's about six a stretch to pitch on the way.

168
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Low and inside, Bouton loses his cap.

169
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:48,000
1-0, Jim looking a lot thinner than he did when he was in the big leagues before.

170
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000
14 pounds lighter than what he was in the majors.

171
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Filed away down the left field line as Whitfield was running.

172
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000
The count is very balanced.

173
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Like is that part of the two and a half foot cookie that Bob and Dan Cuneo brought in?

174
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Well I can't eat one now but I'll just put it right here on the side.

175
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Bob and Dan Cuneo, well it's a two and a half foot chocolate chip cookie swinging a mess by Ivy.

176
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,000
One and two.

177
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Bob and Dan have bakeries in the city and they have a few and a half foot cookies.

178
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Bouton gets his second strike out and Whitfield steals the second base.

179
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:07,000
He's struck out two of the first three space.

180
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Pitch outside, Javons for a ball, of course the Giants will be rooting for him another day.

181
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Behind second base, Royster keeping Whitfield close.

182
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Evans waits for the 1-0 pitch.

183
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Knuckler high for a ball, two and 0.

184
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Bouton's knuckleball does not have the speed that Necro does he?

185
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,000
It's a very slow knuckleball.

186
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Two and 0 pitch, Bouton called a strike and it's two and one.

187
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Two balls and a strike.

188
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Bouton glasses his second to pitch to Evans.

189
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,000
High fly ball, easy play for Matthews in right field.

190
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Bouton waiting for it and the Giants are retired in the first.

191
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a> gets the ball, just one hit.

192
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000
One runner left on at the end of an inning, it is nothing nothing.

193
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:24,000
When it comes to saving money, more Californians come to Bank of America than any other bank we're saving in the world.

194
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
The reasons are simple.

195
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
First, we're very convenient and we offer a wide variety of savings plans.

196
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Plus, there's the security of savings with California's largest bank.

197
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000
And now there are three new reasons to save at Bank of America.

198
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Our new six-month money market certificate, it pays the same high interest rate as U.S. Treasury bills.

199
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Or there's our new eight-year certificate of the project and our new higher earning individual retirement account.

200
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Both pay the highest bank interest allowed by law.

201
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Of course, there is a substantial interest penalty for early withdrawal.

202
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:06,000
With our high interest rates, convenient locations and security, it's no wonder more Californians depend on Bank of America for savings.

203
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Come on in and let's talk about your day.

204
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Bank of America, number SBIC.

205
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:41,000
We go to inning number two, a nothing nothing ballgame, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a> will be up here to bat again.

206
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Murphy with a 2.37 average.

207
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000
23 home runs and 77 RBIs.

208
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
He is the club leader in RBIs, a brazed club leader.

209
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
It's on the way as a slider outside for a ball, 1-0.

210
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Murphy, Hubbard, and Gilbrough to fake that hula key.

211
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Reds, Pips strike tall one-on-one.

212
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Reds in town tomorrow night, Saturday and Sunday.

213
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:28,000
I think there is a Giants two who remain in second place. The Reds lost last night, Giants keeping their second place spot.

214
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Ball two.

215
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000
I hope you'll be out here. There are seats available for all three games.

216
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I like his 2-1 pitch.

217
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Murphy checks her swing, takes low for ball three.

218
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:48,000
He had just thrown off a lot of pitches. He hasn't missed that much, but he has missed by a little bit and consequently has been behind a lot of the hitters.

219
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
He hasn't been behind a lot of them. He hasn't paced that many yet.

220
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,000
We're only in the second inning. Strike two call.

221
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Three and two.

222
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Murphy, started to go to first base, comes back down, stares up at the space.

223
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Roll count to the big right hand batter.

224
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Three and two.

225
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Three and two pitch.

226
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Check swing foul off to the right and it stays at three and two.

227
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:32,000
I wonder something. I wonder if you go over to K and B or Joe if you get to do the Giants games, if you get free tickets to Johnny Carson's show.

228
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Three and two pitch is fouled away to the right.

229
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Roll count.

230
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Am I in the packet?

231
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,000
I don't know. I'm not supposed to campaign for you.

232
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Ground ball back to Olicki off his glove. He chased it down, picked it up and then dropped it again.

233
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,000
So that will be a very definite error on Olicki.

234
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:09,000
That ball jammed Murphy who was falling away. The ball hit his bat, rolled out to the mound to squibber.

235
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Olicki had it kick off his glove and he went over to pick it up.

236
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:25,000
It bounced away from him. He tried to retrieve it and it kicked away and it will very definitely be an error.

237
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Look here, Jax says he's going to fall on it over the goal line.

238
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
A bit like the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/las-vegas-raiders/1978/overview/>Oakland Raiders</a> but there goes the runner swinging the miss.

239
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,000
The second is into center field off the glove of Madlock and Murphy will go to third.

240
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Maybe they better throw that ball out of play. I don't think it's catchable.

241
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Check and see if it has a rubber center.

242
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,000
And Mike Ivey did look at it and see if there was something wrong with it.

243
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Murphy winds up at third.

244
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Solemn Bay and I guess they will give Tamargo the throwing here.

245
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Oh Murphy is at third when he should have been in the dugout but he may soon be.

246
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Nobody else. A squeeze bunt and he will score the throw to first and Hubbard is retired.

247
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
But it's a squeeze bunt and the sacrifice gives the Braves a run.

248
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Braves a run and it's one to nothing. Wheel pause for safety identification.

249
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
This is the Golden West Radio Network.

250
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Now, Tim Nelson, weekday warnings on KSFO 560 San Francisco.

251
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Woodhawk goes from one to three on Hubbard but he gets a sacrifice on the squeeze bunt.

252
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rod-gilbert/>Rod Gilbert</a> is now in the third baseman up here hitting 248 taking ball one.

253
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000
One out pitch to it. Strike one and one.

254
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Throw and error by Halleke.

255
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000
A stolen base by Murphy. A throwing error by Tamargo and a squeeze bunt.

256
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Swing and a miss. Gilbert is out in front. One and two.

257
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:20,000
A textbook run by the Braves. One two pitch. Bounce foul to the left side.

258
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:47,000
One two pitch fly ball right field. Dwyer long run and dives and fouls there until he can't make the catch.

259
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-dwyer/>Jim Dwyer</a> making a long run and a headlong dive trying to catch that ball.

260
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Dwyer has been gone for a couple of days. Jeff and the family took him out of the line up.

261
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,000
He's back and they're playing right field. Jack Clark's still under the weather.

262
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:19,000
One two pitch. Bounce to the right side. Matt Lockfield that throws the first and two men are down.

263
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Money's a household word at Bank of America. It may not be in our household.

264
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
It's available right now for home improvement loans.

265
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Want to spruce up the house or add needed space? Talk to a loan specialist at Bank of America.

266
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
They're an equal housing lender. Todd gives him Bob a good hand as he comes to the play.

267
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,000
He has two good ones but they applaud for him.

268
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Right hand batter takes a fastball strike going home. Braves lead one to nothing.

269
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:57,000
And Hulik is one strike pitch. Popped a foul back into the sixth strike too.

270
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,000
That's a souvenir that somebody can get and say <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a> fouled this one off.

271
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Oh two pitch tying inside. 12 ball one and two. Beautiful afternoon in the Campbell's Bay.

272
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:24,000
One two pitch. Fly ball hit to center field. Cruz is there in right center to make the cats on the side retire.

273
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:32,000
One run. No hit. Two errors. And no one left on.

274
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
We go to the bottom of the second. It is one to nothing Atlanta.

275
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
If you're between the ages of 30 and 60, congratulations.

276
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Farmer's Insurance Group welcomes you to the Careful Age, a group who have fewer car accidents and deserve a better break on auto insurance.

277
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,000
So if you qualify, Farmer's offers their 30-60 auto policy which may save you plenty over what you pay now.

278
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000

279
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:09,000
If you're willing to admit your age 30 or over up to age 60, you owe it to yourself to check out your possible savings with Farmer's 30-60 auto policy.

280
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,000

281
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Year after year. So for full information, see your Farmer's agent who displays the Giants banner soon.

282
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:31,000
In Walnut Creek, see Dennis Faryon. And in Richmond, see Dwight Post.

283
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:49,000
In number two, the Braves lead one to nothing and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a> out towards the second as Cruz Dwyer and Tomargo will face Bouton.

284
00:27:49,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Bouton gets to decide whether to give up just the base hit to Whitfield in the first inning.

285
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Throw to second base and we're ready to go.

286
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:18,000
80 Cruz batting 238 with seven home runs.

287
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Those chocolate chip cookies are good.

288
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Cruz takes the strike on one.

289
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Nothing in one.

290
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Bouton is going to spend more time picking up his caps than doing anything else.

291
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
One strike to it.

292
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Lost the ball. He didn't lose it that time. It just slid a little bit.

293
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Dennis took a piece of gum in the back of his nose.

294
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Ball on the strike.

295
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Swing and a miss at that big, slow-breaking knuckle ball is one and two.

296
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Bouton in front of Cruz. He struck out two in the first inning, Madluck and Ivy.

297
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:21,000
That ball inside wanted to slip that one by.

298
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,000
It is two and two.

299
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Bouton getting the sign from Nolan.

300
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Knuckle ball popped up into shallow center.

301
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Off is coming in long run. Not going to get to it. Bounced in front of him.

302
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Cruz is trying for two and he will be in at second.

303
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Cruz showing outstanding hustle that time as off has had to wait for the ball.

304
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Cruz just kept going and goes into second base.

305
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Farmers are famous for auto insurance, but your farmer's agent is also able to protect your home, your life, and can also fill your other insurance needs.

306
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Call your farmer's agent today. Say, hey, farmer's agent.

307
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-dwyer/>Jim Dwyer</a> hitting 235.

308
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Five home runs, 35 out of the island.

309
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Knuckle ball bounces up there. Nolan, protected from being a wild pitch blocking, that one rolled down the third base line and Cruz remains in second.

310
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Tomorrow night there will be skateboard acrobatics before the game.

311
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Out here at Candlestick.

312
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:45,000
And a skate off this.

313
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
And then they could skate on the turf and look back at second base.

314
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
And the knucklers are striking one-on-one.

315
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,000
They must bring out special ramps and things to work on because they can't do much.

316
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
They could go on the warning track, I guess, but it wouldn't be too exciting.

317
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Keep going about 40 miles an hour and hit into that dugout.

318
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000
One-one pitch.

319
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Strike two calls. That looks like that might have been a slider as a knuckle ball.

320
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
One and two.

321
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Second base is Cruz with no one out and Dwyer batting left-handed against knuckle ballers.

322
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Knuckle ballers in about five and a glance. Second pitch is grounded to the right side.

323
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000
So Dwyer gets Cruz over to third as Dwyer is thrown out for the first out of the inning.

324
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-tamargo/>John Tamargo</a> will be the batter.

325
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Giant payoff inning can win you cash prizes, maybe a 78 Chevette from the Golden West Network and your Northern California Chevy dealers.

326
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Ten, 25, 50, 100 dollars, new Chevy Chevette.

327
00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:00,000
And your name, address, telephone number, and a postcard to giant payoff inning, post on the box 560 San Francisco 9-4101.

328
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,000
The bottom of the sixth. That is the payoff inning today.

329
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Getting close to the time when it's not going to do any good to send in any more of those postcards to us.

330
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Here's them next year. I'm well, yeah, we can put them in a little package and send them over to...

331
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:22,000
...and Frank Gil read them.

332
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-tamargo/>John Tamargo</a> batting with a runner at third. They didn't feel drawn in.

333
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Tamargo takes the knuckle ball low.

334
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000
They both playing their drawn-in defense a little different than usual.

335
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
They shortstop racers almost over to second base.

336
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Rather than guard the hole through the left side, he's playing almost directly behind the...

337
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
...fly ball foul out of play.

338
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,000
It is one and one. Tamargo hitting that ball foul.

339
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Tamargo up here with a fly ball to the outfield could even the game.

340
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,000
That's one apiece. The Giants trail at the moment, one-nothing.

341
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Ball on a strike to the left-hand batting Tamargo. One home run. Seven RV has a 250 average.

342
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Now, Royster's playing to the right of second. Foul away by Tamargo. One and two.

343
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Gilbrit, the third baseman, moves almost 30 feet off the line.

344
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:24,000
And Royster, who positions himself before the pitch is made, about a step or two to the left...

345
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,000
...of second base, has been moving all the way to the right of the bag.

346
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Now he's to the left side of second and remains there.

347
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,000
The one-two pitch bounce slowly to second and Cruz will have to hold at third.

348
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Tamargo is thrown out for the second out of the inning.

349
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
If Tamargo couldn't get the ball out of the infield, he had to direct it to Hubbard.

350
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,000
And with two down, they bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-metzger/>Roger Metzger</a>.

351
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Metzger batting 240.

352
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:01,000
No home runs at 19 RV. The infield will back up now with the exception of Gilbrit, who plays even with the bag.

353
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
And the stretch by Bouton.

354
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Pitch is a fastball that misses where ball one, Bouton, loses his cap again.

355
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,000
The Giants aren't exactly playing as though they're all that interested in things the last couple of days.

356
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:21,000
They have to get pulled together and realize that the world hasn't come to an end because they dropped out of first place.

357
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,000
And they're going to have to get back up to the infield.

358
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:30,000
They have to get pulled together and realize that the world hasn't come to an end because they dropped out of first place.

359
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,000
One-oh pitch is a strike and Metzger wasn't too sure of that.

360
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Backs out of there, it's one-on-one.

361
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Two out, runner at third is Cruz.

362
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Bouton Red Sox have got to be stealing a little bit droopy today after they dropped out of first place.

363
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Knucklehead low and inside, first time they've been out for even longer than the Giants because the Red Sox at one time looked like they had a runaway win in that Eastern Division near Arc and Lake.

364
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Now they're trailing the Yankees.

365
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Picked up high, far ball, three and one.

366
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bob-lemon/>Bob Lemon</a> would certainly have to get some votes for manager of the year if the Yankees won.

367
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:30,000
He took over from <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/billy-martin/>Billy Martin</a> when the Yankees were really faltering.

368
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,000
And now they've come back to take over first place.

369
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Three-one pitch.

370
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Inside, for ball four, Knucklehead had just barely missed.

371
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Metzger walks.

372
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:51,000
And Halleke now.

373
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Halleke robbed of a home run in Lord Pankow.

374
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:06,000
And they gained that the Giants looked like they were going to win.

375
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Finally lost five to four.

376
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Takes high for a ball and that was the turning point of the season, that one right there.

377
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Some of the fire went out of the ball court when they lost that game.

378
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Never regained it.

379
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Cruz at third.

380
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Metzger at first with two outs.

381
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Stoutman at fifth.

382
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,000
And Halleke tries to hold up swings and misses.

383
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:37,000
That time, Bob threw what appeared to be a hard slider while breaking away from Halleke and it's one-on-one.

384
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Metzger and Cruz at the corners with two down.

385
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,000
The Giants trail one-nothing in bottom of the second.

386
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Low for a ball, two-on-one.

387
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:57,000
One thing, Bob will never be out of shape as long as he pitches because he's staying shape bending over to pick up his cap.

388
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Two-one pitch.

389
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
High ball three.

390
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:09,000
And there's an old joke about why it took so long to play golf.

391
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Hit your shot and drag Fred with bottom and throw the ball and pick up your cap.

392
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Metzger leads it first.

393
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Three-one pitch.

394
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Strike two call.

395
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Full count three and two.

396
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Don looks almost surprised when his cap doesn't fall off.

397
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Three and two to Halleke.

398
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Metzger will be running.

399
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
He goes three-two pitch.

400
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Popped up foul, playable for Gilbert, the third baseman in foul territory.

401
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
He makes the cap and the side is retired.

402
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Here in the second inning, no rugs on a leadoff double.

403
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,000
That's the major story.

404
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,000
No errors and two runners left on.

405
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
And it's the end of two-full.

406
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,000
It is a braves one, the Giants nothing.

407
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:17,000
In number three, the Braves lead the Giants one to nothing.

408
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
And to come in and tell you about the action here in the third is Joe Agile.

409
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,000
How about if I just do the play-by-play?

410
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
It doesn't come to think of it.

411
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
I don't think I'm going to ask people to send any more letters.

412
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Joe has a big house and he needs money.

413
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-royster/>Jerry Royster</a> is 0-1.

414
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Dwayne's in the ground with the two.

415
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Darryl Evans is third.

416
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Throws a cross.

417
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Royster is on number one.

418
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Darryl slain in on the edge of the infield turf.

419
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Then easy play.

420
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
And then he's got a good office in the third inning.

421
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Office is 0-1.

422
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,000
He got it to the shortstop Metzger in the first inning.

423
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Rowland hitting.253 with nine homers and 37 RBI's.

424
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
One-nothing Atlanta in the third.

425
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Right hander deals.

426
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,000
The breaking ball is in there.

427
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Caught the outside corner at the letter.

428
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Nothing in one.

429
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,000
On deck is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a>.

430
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Like he says, he has wines and delivers.

431
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Fouled away by office.

432
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,000
0-2 to count.

433
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Look here, looking for his ninth win against eight losses.

434
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,000
His ERE, a very good one, 2.89.

435
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Right hander started out the season on the disabled list.

436
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Breaking ball low and inside.

437
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Didn't miss by much.

438
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
A ball and two strikes on office.

439
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Right hander ready again.

440
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Here's a 1-2 pitch on the way.

441
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Swung on, lifted, fouled on the left of your line.

442
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Evans and Metzger chasing Whitfield there, but none able to make the play.

443
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,000
The ball's falling on the, in the bullpen on the warning track and then bouncing into the seats.

444
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Another count stage of the ball and two strikes.

445
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Tomorrow night, Saturday and Sunday, the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1978/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a>.

446
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Two single games.

447
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Day games on the weekends.

448
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Then the Giants hit the road again.

449
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,000
They will be on their way to San Diego.

450
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000
They'll go down there and join the Navy.

451
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,000
1-2 delivery, swung on and again fouled away down the left of your line.

452
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Evans, shading his eyes, can't see the ball and it falls untouched on the warning track.

453
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000
They'll never did find that one.

454
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Very difficult time.

455
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000
They're getting a good time again.

456
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Here's a 1-2 pitch off his backs away from a low inside pass ball.

457
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Two and two.

458
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Beautiful, gorgeous day here at Candlestick.

459
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Outstanding weather.

460
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Swing and a miss at a change-up curve.

461
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,000
A breaking ball and O'Kee had him way out in front.

462
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Out number two in the third inning.

463
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a>.

464
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,000
O'Kee getting his first strike out.

465
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Matthews one for one, single and stole second in the first inning and he was stranded.

466
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Matthews now has eight hits in his last 15th bat.

467
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Here's the pitch.

468
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Matthews takes a little bit low, ball one.

469
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Two down in the third, one nothing Atlanta.

470
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
In the bottom of the inning it will be Matlock, Woodfield and Ivy.

471
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Here's a 1-0 delivery, he's inside 2-0.

472
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,000
O'Kee ready again.

473
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Here's a 2-0 pitch.

474
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Matthews swings and he hits it to the center field.

475
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Going back his cruise he will get there waiting for it, makes the catch and Matthews is out number three.

476
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
And O'Kee with his first 1-2-3 inning.

477
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
We go to the bottom of the third.

478
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Not now Chuck, later.

479
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
The score at 9-1 and a giant nothing.

480
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Here at the bottom of inning number three the Giants will send up Matlock, Woodfield and Ivy against Jim Mouffy.

481
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:34,000
At 9-1 run two hits no errors, Giants no runs on two hits and two errors.

482
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,000
The only Atlanta run is unearned.

483
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,000
They got it in the second inning on a couple of errors.

484
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
O'Kee with his second hit, he's out number three.

485
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Two errors, the only Atlanta run is unearned, they got it in the second inning on a couple of errors and a squeeze punt.

486
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Bolton delivers a knuckleball in the dirt to Matlock 1-0.

487
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Matlock came into the game with a batting average of 3-16, the lead leader.

488
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,000
15 home runs, 42 RBIs.

489
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Bolton says yes to another knuckleball sign, delivers and gets it in there for a called strike, 1-1.

490
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Matlock has 24 hits in his last 60 private bats.

491
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,000
1-1 delivery, a knuckleball, he turns the bunt but he takes high for ball two.

492
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
2-1 on the Giants' second baseman.

493
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Matlock on a seven game hitting streak, he has also hit safely in 13 of his last 16 games.

494
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Knuckleball is ground at foul, under the legs, in between the legs of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-bristol/>Dave Bristol</a> and the coaching box at third.

495
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Two and two.

496
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Matlock will be followed by Whitfield and then Mike Ivey, the one-two-three hitter.

497
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Matlock in quest of his sixth hitter.

498
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Matlock in quest of his third nationally batting title.

499
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Knuckleball is a little bit high, not by much.

500
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Three and two. Matlock took a called third strike in the first inning.

501
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Matlock trying to become the first national leaguer to win three batting titles in four years since Clemente did it and he walked all four.

502
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roberto-clemente/>Roberto Clemente</a> did it in 1964, 1965 and 1967.

503
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,000
The Matlock is on at first with nobody down and the batter is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/terry-whitfield/>Terry Whitfield</a>.

504
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,000
Walk number two given up by Foulton.

505
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Whitfield hitting 296, he had a single and a stolen base in the first inning.

506
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000
So at the moment he is batting 297.

507
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:47,000
The Atlanta infield looking for a possible two.

508
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Rod Gilbreth very shallow at third. Murphy playing on the...

509
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,000
The Atlanta outfields against Whitfield playing surprisingly shallow.

510
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Terry with good power to left center field.

511
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Knuckleball is fouled away off the end of the bat.

512
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:13,000
One and one. Braves one, Giants nothing. In the third, Matlock at first and nobody down.

513
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:19,000
Looking ahead to the Cincinnati series, tomorrow night it will be fight of blue once again.

514
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Looking for his 17th win. He will be opposed by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-seaver/>Tom Seaver</a>.

515
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Knuckleball is high and away.

516
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Two and one on Whitfield.

517
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Saturday it will be John Montefiusco against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-hume/>Tom Hume</a>.

518
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Then on Sunday Bob Nepper takes on Paul Moskow.

519
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:43,000
The Reds all weekend long. Here is a pitch with Gilbreth swings and he grabs it right back to Foulton.

520
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,000
The second for one but he threw the ball in the center field.

521
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Matlock is on his way to third and Whitfield stays on it first.

522
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Ball is well hit right back to Foulton.

523
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Jim had more time than he thought to get rid of the ball.

524
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:04,000
He threw high at second, the ball getting by the shortstop Jerry Reuter and into center field.

525
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Throwing air by Foulton, the Giants have runners at the corners with nobody down and the batter will be Mike Ivey.

526
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,000
Here is Shevron Dealer who would just like to remind you that a big part of his job is to be an engineer car.

527
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000
And to you, that's just the Shevron way.

528
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Whitfield safely aboard on the field of choice.

529
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Throwing air by Foulton puts Giants on first and third.

530
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Here is Shevron Dealer who would just like to remind you that a big part of his job is to be an engineer car.

531
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
And to you, that's just the Shevron way.

532
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Whitfield safely aboard on the field of choice.

533
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Throwing air by Foulton puts Giants on first and third.

534
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Ivey is 0 for 1, he's struck out against Foulton in the first inning.

535
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Mike at his 3-10.

536
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,000
The pitch on the way to him is in there for a called strike going once.

537
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Mike with 10 homers and 49 RBIs.

538
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Madlock at third, Whitfield at first, nobody down in the third.

539
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
Mike has to do it.

540
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:14,000
In this situation, he's just hit the ball out of the infield.

541
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Here's the pitch, Knuckleball, oh, looks like a slider is outside, 1-1.

542
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:28,000
Left side of the United infield playing just about halfway in.

543
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Here's the pitch, Knuckleball is swung on, Whitfield left hander,

544
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:39,000
that'll score Madlock as the left fielder Burroughs getting under it.

545
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:46,000
He makes the catch, Madlock catch up and comes in to score as the throw comes in to second.

546
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,000
1-1's in, down the fly ball by Mike Ivey.

547
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Now 0-11 with Whitfield at first and one down.

548
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:03,000
Now Bill Evans with Whitfield at first and one down.

549
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Bill is 0-1, he flies to right field.

550
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:19,000
Gavin's had a long night in the game against the Long Day yesterday against Bill Mikro.

551
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,000
He's 0-5 against Mikro.

552
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Here's the pitch, Gavin swings and misses it on Knuckleball, but they're way out in front.

553
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Nothing in one.

554
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:38,000
His only hit in the game yesterday came off Dean Garber, a single in the 12th inning.

555
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Right hander against left hander, Whitfield at first, there's a stretch by Bouton, there goes Whitfield.

556
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,000
It's a pitch out, a bad one to throw to second is in the center field.

557
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Whitfield on his feet, on his way to third, here's the throw he's in there.

558
00:48:53,000 --> 00:49:01,000
To give Whitfield a stolen base, he goes to third on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a>'s second throwing error of the inning.

559
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,000
Check that at first, the first one was by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a>.

560
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,000
There's him through the ball in the center field.

561
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Count on Evans at one and one. They call the pitch out, Bouton threw it outside, but it was very low.

562
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:25,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a> had to go get it and he had to hurry the throw, then he threw it away.

563
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:31,000
The infielder playing all the way in, three infielers to the right of second.

564
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Here's the pitch, Evans swings and he grounds his foul outside Jimmy Gavin for it in the coaching box at first.

565
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,000
And he's got a one ball on two strikes, one-one game.

566
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:50,000
The Braves got a run as a result of two Giants errors in the second inning, and the Braves have committed two errors in the third.

567
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,000
The Giants getting even, one-one. Now Joe Levin trying to at least hit a fly ball.

568
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Bouton getting a sign, says yes, checking Whitfield now, and he comes off.

569
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:10,000
A foul, ground ball to the second baseman, Whitfield saves his third, Hubbard throws out Evans.

570
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Two down, now AT Crews.

571
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Baird, he's got a blue double in the second, anybody that's stranded.

572
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,000
The batting average is 238, seven home runs and 30 RBI.

573
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Ivy driving in his 50th run to get the Giants even up at one-one.

574
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,000
Bouton says yes.

575
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Here's the pitch, knuckle ball high and inside, foul one.

576
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Waiting his turn on deck is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-dwyer/>Jim Dwyer</a>.

577
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Bouton ready again. The one-oh delivery is a slider, low and away, football two, two and oh.

578
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Atlanta got theirs in the second, and the Giants are moving things up in the third and trying to take a lead again.

579
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Here's a two-nothing pitch, low and away, three and oh.

580
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Jerry Whitfield on his third, two down, a run in.

581
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Next pitch, low, football four, Crews.

582
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Draws a walk on four pitches, two down, the runners on first and third, now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-dwyer/>Jim Dwyer</a>.

583
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:45,000
We'll pause here for station identification on the Golden West Radio Network.

584
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:55,000
Now, Team Nelson with their mornings on JSFO 560 San Francisco.

585
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:06,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-dwyer/>Jim Dwyer</a>, oh for one, grounded to second base, batting average is 235 with five home runs and 25 RBI.

586
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Runners on first and third and two down. Here's the pitch, Dwyer swings and he grounds his foul on the left side.

587
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Nothing in one.

588
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Braves on defense with Gilbreth at third, Royce to a shortstop, Hubbard at second, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a> at first, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a> behind the plate, Jeff Burrows, Roland Offit and Jerry Matthews in the outfield.

589
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Jim Bolton with a one-strike pitch, knuckleball is swung on it high in the air, right center field.

590
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Offit and Matthews there, Matthews makes the catch and that is our number three in the third.

591
00:52:46,000 --> 00:53:08,000
Well, the Giants did it in one run, no hit, two Atlanta errors and two men left on base. At the end of three is the one-one game.

592
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:23,000
We go to the fourth inning in a one-one game, it'll be Burrows, Nolan and Murphy against right-hander Ed Helichie.

593
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:30,000
Burrows, Drew Watts, Nolan who walks and Murphy who is basically aboard it.

594
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:49,000
I notice these errors in the second and it scores the only Atlanta run. Burrows who is in...

595
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Burrows in contention for the national league batting title came in hitting three-fourths.

596
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Jeff has never batted three hundred in a major league with one exception.

597
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:19,000
With the Rangers in 1970, or before, he hit three-oh-one in 1974.

598
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Ed Helichie, here's a pitch, breaking ball is low on outside, ball one.

599
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Atlanta one run, only one hit, two errors, Giants one run, two hits and two errors.

600
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Here's a one-nothing pitch, Burrows takes low on outside, two and oh.

601
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Here goes Burrows at 271 with Atlanta.

602
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Pitch out of the way, he's flung on, lifted, fouled on the right to the line,

603
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Ivy racing towards his feet, he's there, reaches but he can't make a play.

604
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:03,000
The ball falls on touch down the warning track and Burrows getting another shot at it.

605
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:13,000
You have 41 home runs and 114 RBIs a year ago, this season with 22 home runs, 74 RBIs coming in.

606
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Wind of an a two-one pitch, Burrows swings and he drives it foul outside of third, two and two.

607
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:36,000
Burrows home run production and RBI production has been lessened in this 1970 season,

608
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,000
but he has a batting average of three-fourths, so he's getting more base hits.

609
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Line driver center field, Cruz racing in towards the infield, he's there, makes the catch, Burrows is gone.

610
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Out number one now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a>.

611
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:58,000
The only hit off of it is a two-out single by Matthews in the first inning.

612
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:05,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a>, 0-4-1, grounded two seconds, leading 251, he has four homers and 21 RBIs.

613
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:10,000
One-one game Atlanta and the Giants in the fourth inning one away.

614
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,000
Big light hander deals, gets the inside corner, 0-1.

615
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:23,000
Nolan, six feet tall, weighs under 90 pounds, went to school in the St. Louis area.

616
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Checks on a fastball at low, 1-1.

617
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:35,000
It's 280 and 62 games with the Braves a year ago.

618
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:42,000
The three home runs, swings and he grabs it to Mike Ivey, back of first, runs over, steps down the bag,

619
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,000
and Nolan is out number two in the fourth inning.

620
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,000
Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a>.

621
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:53,000
In the bottom of the inning the Giants will send up to Mardro, Menster and Hallucin.

622
00:56:53,000 --> 00:57:01,000
As you look ahead, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a> is safely aboard on Hallucin's error in the second inning.

623
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Stowell's second, went to third on Tommago's throwing error and scored on a clean response by Hubbard.

624
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Classic, 1-1 pitch, just in size, ball one.

625
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,000
Devon's backed up behind third.

626
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:30,000
Murphy with outstanding power, 23 home runs, 77 RBI, big swing and a miss, 1-1.

627
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,000
That sounds so right, by the blue goes against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-seaver/>Tom Seaver</a>.

628
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:51,000
Murphy in against Huligie, big right-hander with a 1-1 pitch on the way,

629
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,000
as the breaking ball pulls Murphy, he swings and he fouls it away on the ground left side.

630
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,000
One and two, Murphy is way out in front.

631
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Waiting his turn on deck is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/glenn-hubbard/>Glenn Hubbard</a>, 1-1 game.

632
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Giants out for your play and Murphy to pull the ball and sweep.

633
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Hallucin looks in for the sign, Tommago flashing it, now he says yes,

634
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,000
here's a 1-2 delivery, here's a check swing on a fastball, he's out of looking.

635
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:22,000
Good fastball, Murphy is obviously sitting on some kind of a breaking ball

636
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,000
and Hallucin meets a fast one by him in another 1-2-3 inning in the fourth.

637
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,000
We go to the bottom of the inning, it is the Giants 1 and Atlanta 1.

638
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Coming September 15th through the 23rd, when Chevy dealers everywhere will be offering some great Chevy values,

639
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
there'll be a big selection of cars and trucks for you to choose from,

640
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,000
and many dealers will be looking at Chevy their hours.

641
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,000
There'll be great values on cars like Chevy Chevettes, Monte Carlo, and the Chevrolet,

642
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:54,000
complete at Impala, on trucks like Chevy Marl and Blazer, and on Chevy Vans too.

643
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,000
It'll all be happening during National Chevy Week starting next Friday the 15th.

644
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:26,000
After Chevy dealers, so get ready America!

645
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Ah, how quickly they forget.

646
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:38,000
In the bottom of the fourth inning, it will be Tomargo Metzger and Hallucin against Jim Bolton.

647
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:45,000
Atlanta got theirs in the second and the Giants got even in the third.

648
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,000
They need to keep scoring with the help of a base hit.

649
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Bolton ready, here's a pitch. Tomargo takes low on the inside ball one.

650
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Braves got their run in the second.

651
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,000
No hits and a couple of Giants errors, and the Giants likewise in the third.

652
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Got a couple of Atlanta errors.

653
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,000
Tomargo swings and he fouls it back out of play.

654
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
1 and 1 on deck is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-metzger/>Roger Metzger</a>, he'll be followed by Ed Hallucin.

655
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:20,000
The Yankees play John Tomargo using the McCovey fifth on Tomargo, a three infielder to the right of second base.

656
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Next pitch, a knuckle ball is in there, a call strike two.

657
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,000
One ball and two strikes from a Giants catcher.

658
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-royster/>Jerry Royster</a>, the shortstop, is playing directly behind second base.

659
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,000
Here's a 1-2 pitch, he's offside a fastball, 2 and 2.

660
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:40,000
The outfield, around to the right, and Bolton once again loses his cap.

661
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:49,000
Bolton putting a cap around this game.

662
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Right-hander with a 2-2 pitch is flung out and fouled away.

663
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,000
That'll be out of play on top of the Atlanta dugout.

664
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,000
There's 2 and 2.

665
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,000
Now the hitting in this game has been almost non-existent.

666
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,000
The only hit off Hallucin was a 2-0 single by Matthews in the first.

667
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,000
The only two Giants hits a single by Whitfield and a double by Cruz.

668
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,000
There's a 2-2 pitch, Tomargo swings and he lifts a fly ball to right field.

669
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:27,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> comes in, now he goes out, getting under it, waiting, makes the catch, and Matthews...

670
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,000
...in the glove, Tomargo is out number one.

671
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:35,000
You know, just like baseball, the Hot Dogs and Apple Five, the New Chevrolet Malibu is a real cross-leaser.

672
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,000
They stand for a lot of good reasons.

673
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:42,000
More headroom and legroom, more trunk room, and better maneuverability in leading driving than last year.

674
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:48,000
The New Malibu, Chevy's fresh new flank of Apple Five, waiting for you now at your Chevrolet dealers.

675
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Matthews swings and he lifts it in the air to center field.

676
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Off is his air, out number two.

677
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:00,000
Now a couple of fly balls in the inning, 2-0 now at Hallucin.

678
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:10,000
That Hiller is just awful when he fouled out to field breath his third.

679
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Dives came in at the game with a team batting average of 254, the Braves collectively at 248.

680
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,000
The Atlanta Picking Staff, the ERA, is 4.19.

681
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:26,000
That gives you a pretty good idea of why Atlanta is at the bottom of the Western Division standing.

682
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:32,000
Swung on and lifted foul, back of the Atlanta dugout again in the seat, nothing in one.

683
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Braves have made 132 errors and the two they have in this game with a total of 134 now this season.

684
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Giants have made 134 as well.

685
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Misses low, one and one on Ed Hulicki.

686
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:58,000
The Giants have ERA at 3.35, rapidly going in the wrong direction.

687
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:07,000
Here's a one-one pitch, swung on and lines fouled on the left field line, scattering the Atlanta bullpen.

688
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:13,000
A couple of guys leaving out of the way to avoid getting hurt.

689
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:18,000
One ball and two strikes on Hulicki, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-madlock/>Bill Madlock</a> waiting on deck.

690
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,000
One-one game, Atlanta and the Giants.

691
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,000
Bowden says, yes, the pitch is fouled away.

692
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:46,000
Bowden was pitching for the Yankees when he won those 21 games.

693
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:51,000
It was said that one of the reasons was he kept losing his cap.

694
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,000
It was very distracting to the hitters.

695
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:02,000
That was never verified.

696
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Bowden working on Ed Hulicki with two down in the fourth inning.

697
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000
One-one game.

698
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Here's a pitch, swung on, lifted high in the air down the left field line.

699
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:25,000
Burrows getting under it, shading his eyes, makes the cap, and Hulicki is out number three.

700
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bowden/>Jim Bowden</a> has recorded his first one-two-three inning.

701
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,000
At the end of four, it's a one-one game.

702
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,000
This guy has brought jazz to being brought to you by Anheuser-Brosch.

703
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,000
The Blue is a Budweiser, the king of beers.

704
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,000
There's no better way to relax than with the easy face of Budweiser.

705
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,000
By TWA, the only airline with loud-fifth check-in.

706
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,000
It'll eliminate a whole line in your life.

707
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,000
TWA is also proud to bring you in-park Giant Baseball, TWA.

708
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,000
And by your neighborhood farmers' insurance agents.

709
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,000
Be your farmers' agent for fast, fair, and friendly service.

710
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,000
Also by Champion Spotplug.

711
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,000
Keep your car in tune with the world's number-one seller, Champion.

712
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,000
The Plug that wins more big races than any other brand.

713
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:14,000
With better performance, charge, and mileage, you can't buy a better Plug than Champion.

714
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,000
By Long's Drugs.

715
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:21,000
There are 118 Long's Drugs tours throughout California, Arizona, Hawaii, and Alaska.

716
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Stop in today and find out about their special specials at Long's.

717
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:38,000
And by Blue Seal what the health care service plans with differences you should know about.

718
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Well, we placed four innings there, Candlestick.

719
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:43,000
Not too much hitting in this one.

720
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:51,000
At Manny with one run on only one hit and two errors, the Giants have one run on only two hits and two errors.

721
01:05:51,000 --> 01:06:01,000
And here to bring you the play-by-play in the fifth inning is a guy that I consider to be a real package.

722
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,000
He may not be in the package, but he is a package.

723
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,000
We have your hand there.

724
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:17,000
You got yourself into that one, not yourself out.

725
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,000
You have a piece of paper.

726
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:31,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/glenn-hubbard/>Glenn Hubbard</a> will lead off against Ed Hallecki in the top of inning number five.

727
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Right hand better, sexy swing picked up by the ball.

728
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,000
And the Booth want to send one of their best choices to Keith Yetter.

729
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:52,000
One-oh pick, this is a strike, one-on-one. And also congratulations on having two fine boys, Tom and Bob, who wanted to say hello to him.

730
01:06:53,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Going in a miss, it's like the, Keith is a very avid Giant man.

731
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,000
Things are a little tough for him now, but things will get better.

732
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:13,000
It's foul back over the screen and it's one and two.

733
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Hallecki has retired in the last nine batters he's faced outside for a ball.

734
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:30,000
It is two and two.

735
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:37,000
Matthews single in the first inning, the only hit off Hallecki.

736
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:44,000
Foul down the right field line, long run for Dwyer. He will not get there. It's back into the stands.

737
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,000
A count for a range of two and two.

738
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:56,000
Giant and the Braves, inning number five Hallecki and Bouton.

739
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:02,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a> has done an outstanding job so far here to allow just two heads.

740
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:08,000
The Giants did not have a run. It is just the Braves. As far as that goes, he's just going in on their run.

741
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:14,000
Two-two pick, deep to left, going back is Whitfield. That one's got a chance.

742
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,000
Whitfield goes to the fence and makes the catch as the ball fades.

743
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:28,000
Whitfield, looking at that ball, acted as if he thought it was going to be on the fence over, but then the ball faded and Whitfield makes the catch a couple of feet short of the barrier.

744
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:34,000
The Giant ball players who appear on our broadcast receive a line, Botany 500 wardrobe from Rue Zetkin.

745
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Botany 500 menswear fashion for the man of action and the champions.

746
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:44,000
Rock Hill would take slow football. Botany bats a thousand in excellence in design.

747
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,000
You're always in style with a wardrobe catered by Botany 500 at Rue Zetkin.

748
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Foul back.

749
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,000
Down one and one to Gilbert with one out.

750
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,000
Gilbert bounces it foul to the left side.

751
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:07,000
One and two.

752
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,000
One and two.

753
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,000
One and two, Kemp.

754
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,000
And Hillickey deals it off.

755
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Fly ball hit into deep right center. Crew's on the move, still going. He can't get it. It's going to be over his head to the fence.

756
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:36,000
Gilbert is digging for two. He's got it for three. Matlock throw will not be in time. It's a triple.

757
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:46,000
Gilbert with a triple over Crews' head into right center field and they raise with a threat as <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a> will be the batter.

758
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:51,000
And the fans give him Bouton a hand as he comes to the plate.

759
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:58,000
Bouton flies the center. It's about the same place here. He'll get himself a run.

760
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:08,000
The Blades' run came on a squeeze front. Evans and Tamago talk over that possibility again with Hillickey.

761
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:17,000
Well, it's Dennis Dyson on his birthday today. He covers the Giants for the San Jose Mercury News.

762
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,000
And happy birthday.

763
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,000
Pitch misses for a ball.

764
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:30,000
Hillickey pitching from a stretch and Bouton turns to look at third base coach Tom Brutus.

765
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,000
In field, pulled in for the Giants.

766
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,000
Hillickey's stretch. The pitch on dribble the first base.

767
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,000
Diving down to one knee to field. It's Bouton digs for first but he's out.

768
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,000
And holding a third is Gilbert.

769
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Bouton grounding the ball off the end of the bat.

770
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,000
To the first baseman, Ivy, who retires him under 56.

771
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,000
And Bouton gets another hand as he comes back.

772
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:08,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-royster/>Jerry Royster</a>. Wide out, grounded out. Batting with the runner is third and two men down.

773
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:15,000
Hillickey will pitch from a wind up now. He's pitched to Royster, grounded to shortstop.

774
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:20,000
And Evans cuts in front of the shortstop. The field throws the first and gutter.

775
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:24,000
Well, Evans made a good play to get Royster.

776
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:29,000
And here in the fifth, no runs on a hit, no errors and a runner left on.

777
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:36,000
And as we have completed four and a half, the score is tied at one apiece.

778
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Long gutter.

779
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:45,000
Giants will be at the top of the batting order. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/bill-madlock/>Bill Madlock</a>, who is 0 for 1.

780
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:50,000
Madlock has been called out on strikes and walks.

781
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Madlock, who has started the day leading the league in hitting.

782
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:05,000
Yes, Burroughs is also 0 for 1. He was trailing Madlock.

783
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:13,000
Madlock started the day at 3.16.

784
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,000
And now Bill wanders away from the plate.

785
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:25,000
Burroughs started at 3.14. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dave-parker/>Dave Parker</a> batting 3.15 for the Pirates.

786
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,000
Pitch to Madlock, four run and miss, strike one.

787
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:42,000
Elfman Pitch is low and inside for a ball.

788
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:48,000
And a two and a half. We're a team Joe. Is that all the packages that came from back East?

789
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,000
Going the chopping sprees back there.

790
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:59,000
One one pitch. Breaking ball as a strike at one and two.

791
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:11,000
One two pitch. Grounded foul down the left field line.

792
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Stays at one and two.

793
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:22,000
Bout and wanders off the mound, juggling the baseball.

794
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,000
He bought a bunch of stuff for Antoinette too.

795
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:32,000
One two pitch. Line drive, foul down the left field line.

796
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,000
Madlock remains up there with a one and two count.

797
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:48,000
Elfman's paging after that foul ball. Now a little of a torn of the bunch finds it.

798
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:55,000
One and two counts for Madlock. Madlock, Woodfield and Ivy. The Reds in town over the weekend.

799
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,000
They'll be out here tomorrow night, Saturday and Sunday.

800
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:07,000
One two pitch. Line drive and leaping catch by Gilbrough. The raw Madlock.

801
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:14,000
Madlock with a line drive headed to his left field and Gilbrough sprinting to his left.

802
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Leaping and made the catch for the Elf.

803
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:28,000
One man down, Terry Woodfield who's single and been safe on an air up here.

804
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:41,000
Going in a foul ball out of line.

805
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:49,000
It is strike on Terry Woodfield.

806
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:54,000
One man.

807
01:14:54,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Check outside for a ball and Terry takes.

808
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Here's Bobbin's one one pitch. Knuckler's Bale's high, football two.

809
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Two and one.

810
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:25,000
Bob delivers.

811
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,000
Back to Mountain. His field is going to his left.

812
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Woodfield's right in the bunch for a base hit and he's thrown out for the second out of the inning.

813
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Now Mike Ivy is struck out here to sacrifice fly.

814
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:45,000
The runs are this one scored. The Atlantis run scored on the squeeze but the Giants are to sacrifice fly.

815
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:54,000
We're in the bottom of the fifth. Tied at one.

816
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:00,000
Waiting. A pitch to him is low and inside for a ball. Wanna know?

817
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:08,000
You get a lot of good things, Chuck.

818
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:16,000
One oh pitch and Bobbin started to deliver and that changes mine.

819
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,000
You don't have to say that twice.

820
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Football two.

821
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Bobbin's two oh pitch. Knuckleball's one on a net. It's two and one.

822
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:40,000
Bobbin has a giant swing from the heel. Trying to hit one against the scoreboard.

823
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:52,000
They're not having much success with it. Bobbin has not given up a hit since that double by Cruz in the second inning is Ivy fouls it at the plate. It's two and two.

824
01:16:52,000 --> 01:17:06,000
Cruz club was a run. Each with two hits. Each with two errors.

825
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:15,000
Bounce to third base. Gilbert deep behind the bag. Long throw in the jersey. A drop by Murphy. Ivy is David's first.

826
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:24,000
There'll be an error on the third base and down to eleven will be the batter.

827
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:44,000
The errors have been more plentiful on the hits than the runs in this one.

828
01:17:44,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Stretch and a pitch. Evans pointing and misses strike one.

829
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:14,000
Watt with stretch. Here's six. Evans takes high and inside. Football one and one. One one ball game in the fifth. Giants with two outs. Ivy is first.

830
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:29,000
The shift put on against Evans. Three to the right of second base. Here's a little pop line. The short left field is going to drop for a base hit. Gilbert is tracking it down. Ivy will go to third. Evans is digging for second and Evans has himself a blue double.

831
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:43,000
What they did that time putting the shift on against Evans. Hold the shortstop over to the right of second base. A little pop line on the left field line hole in the third base and Gilbert's had a shift. Here's two chances. Slim and none.

832
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Couldn't get to the ball. He got to it soon enough to keep Ivy scoring. Runners at second and third with two down. Cruz will be the batter.

833
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:06,000
Now, Bart will have to get Cruz. Or the error would be a cross-blow. Two out throwing error by Gilbert to third baseman.

834
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Ball prior. Back to the base ball. There's no chance of those are back out the bat. Ending number five. 80 Cruz has doubled and walks.

835
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:38,000
Stretched by Bouton to pitch to Cruz. Knuckleball low and outside for a ball. 1-0. Thatcher has to be careful when he throws the ball back to Bouton because Bouton is leaning over to pick up his staff.

836
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:54,000
1-0 count. 1-0 pitch to Cruz. Knuckler is a strike. 1-1. At third is Ivy. At second is Evans.

837
01:19:54,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Giants with the three hits off Bouton. Fouled away down the third base line. Two of the hits of in-bloop Cruz. Pop-fly to drop to the short center.

838
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:33,000
He legs out for a double and Evans is a little pop-fly down the left field line. But he got a double. 1-2 count. Bouton getting the target with a 1-2 pitch to Cruz. Knuckleball low and outside. Ball two.

839
01:20:45,000 --> 01:21:03,000
2-2 pitch. Knuckleball fouled away. Cruz almost jumping off his feet at a high knuckler.

840
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:23,000
2-2 count is 2-2. 2-2 pitch. Low for a full count of 3-2.

841
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:37,000
Full count to Cruz. Two on. Runners at second and third. Two out. Bottom of the fifth. The score is tied at 1-1.

842
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:52,000
Quick and a pop-foul back near the screen. Nolan comes back and makes a fine running catch. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a>, an outstanding one-handed catch, crashes into the screen, holds onto the ball, and Bouton gets out of the inning.

843
01:21:52,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Here in the fifth, another ovation for <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a> as he goes to the dugout. Nolan hits an error and two runners left off. And as we have completed five innings, the score remains tied at 1-1.

844
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:29,000
BWA developed ground-foot section and was the only airline to operate on every flight from San Francisco. Ground-foot section. Step in once. Fly twice. It's great.

845
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:40,000
Before going heading number six, let's pause for station identification. This is the Golden West. Gratio Network.

846
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:48,000
Now, Tim Nelson with the warnings on KSFO 560 San Francisco.

847
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Wonder what the new state strikes are going to be like.

848
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:14,000
Roland office. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> and Jeff Burrows against Ed Hallecky. A 1-1 ballgame in the top of the sixth. And appreciation today for the 24th season in double-headers. There are going to be a lot of prizes.

849
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Last ball was a strike to office. Several autographed baseballs with Joe Angel's autograph. One strike pitch, fouled away. Strike two. O-2. There'll be smirks.

850
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Some pictures of Joe. A calendar photo of him. Zero-two pitch. Fouled away by office. It's days it owns is. But come anyway.

851
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:53,000
Big day here on fan appreciation day. Of course, the big series with the Reds this weekend, Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.

852
01:23:53,000 --> 01:24:07,000
Nothing else. You can come out and boo-bee-d-rose. Bouncing ball to second base. Matt Locke waits for it. Has plenty of time to throw out office. That's out number one.

853
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Jeff trying to stay ahead of the Reds in the Western Division. Come out and see if <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/pete-rose/>Pete Rose</a> can keep his hitting system alive. It did. You're kidding. How long did it last? Six games. What was all the big rockets about?

854
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:39,000
That's rockets. I know. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> takes slow over of all Matthews as one of the few hits for the Braves, a single and a first.

855
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:55,000
The one-oh pitch. Strike 12, one of ours. Locke and Jim Bounce. Ryan Pitcher's duo on a very beautiful afternoon at Campbell's Big Park. I thought he would at least make it to 44 games.

856
01:24:55,000 --> 01:25:10,000
Well, you never can tell but it was good. Paul on the strike pitch. Darned it to the left side and the whole backhand is right next to him. He'll never get him. His throw is not in time as Matthews has in several days.

857
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:24,000
It's the third of the game for the Braves. He's the first with one out and Jeff Burrows is walked and lined out will be the better. Burrows is involved with Madlock and Parker.

858
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:41,000
Struggle for the batting leadership. Madlock started today leading by a point over Parker and two over Burrows. Madlock robbed of a base that he's last time up his own for two. Burrows over one. Parker will be batting tonight.

859
01:25:41,000 --> 01:26:04,000
Throw to first base. Matthews gets back in. One to one in the top of the sixth. Three hits apiece now. Throw to first. Rather strange totals on the board. Each team with one run. Each with three hits. The Braves with three errors and the Giants with two.

860
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:19,000
Matthews has his lead. He doesn't go. Burrows dribbles it back to Ullicky. Throw to second for one to first. They get two.

861
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:39,000
The one to six to three double fly and here in the sixth no runs. One hit no errors and no one left off. We'll go to the bottom of the sixth in the score. The Giants one and the Braves one.

862
01:26:39,000 --> 01:27:08,000
Ernie Shevron. Listen Ernie I think I got battery problems. Oh hi George. Yeah well I was heading out to my bowling league this morning and while I tried to start the car it was nothing. Nothing? Well there are two common causes of that George. Oh. One is that the battery terminals between you. Oh I forgot to mention I left the lights on all night. Oh that's the other one George. It happened around midnight Ernie and when I noticed I left them on. If you knew last night George why didn't you just turn them off then? Oh I tried George but I couldn't seem to get the coat hanger around the button. It was pretty dark you know. Oh so you were lost out too. Yeah.

863
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:37,000
Didn't I say that? Next time that happens George disconnect the battery right away. Yeah but finally I noticed the lights were slowly turning themselves off so I just went to bed. George I'll send Charlie over to pick up the battery for recharging. Recharge. And while it's here we'll clean the terminals and check the water level too. Earn your life Staple. Keep your battery alive and well with regular stops at Shevron. You know George you might just put that coat hanger in your glove compartment in case you get locked out again. Hey great idea Ernie. Uh huh very funny Ernie.

864
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:52,000
We'll go to the bottom of the sixth inning. It will be Dwyer, Tomargo and Metzger.

865
01:27:52,000 --> 01:28:14,000
We'll go back for Mrs. Vernon Fisher in our giant fair out there. Mrs. Vernon Fisher from Hamilton City. You know where Hamilton City is? It's near Sacramento. Anywhere near Hamilton Air Force Base.

866
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:28,000
You know it's no joke. Well that's their coffee beans. I'm not sure if Mrs. Vernon's idea or not. I used to work there. You used to work in Hamilton City? Yeah.

867
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:51,000
It's near Sacramento. Any other girls still around? <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-dwyer/>Jim Dwyer</a> 0 for 2. 6. 5. Purple all 1 and all. Jim Bouten still around here in the bottom of the sixth.

868
01:28:51,000 --> 01:29:01,000
The Lickies allow just three hits and one run. And the one run is unearned. The Lickies allow just one run and that's also unearned. Knuckler is it strikes. 1 and 1.

869
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:21,000
I'm going to look up there on the board when they're advertising the prizes for the Santa Virginia All-Reece to the 5 foot loaf of French bread. The 1 and 1 pitch. Ah, purple all. Loaf of bread. Wilk Chamberlain in the middle.

870
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:31,000
It's got to be scaled by now. I mean it is. If it's up there every time you look up there. No it's just the words, the letters. Oh, the letters. Playing in a five off foul.

871
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:52,000
A lot of play down the right field line. 2 and 2. 1-1 ball game in the bottom of the sixth. The Giants will entertain the Reds here over the weekend. 2-2-6.

872
01:29:52,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Fly ball right field. Softly hit Matthews. Dotted back now. Comes back in. Makes the cut. We catch a nice quiet nap out here today in the warm sunshine because the hitters aren't making enough noise to wake you up.

873
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:24,000
John Tomago who has grounded out and fly it out will be batting for Gordon C. Localta of Modesto. Ed Hulicki and Jim Boughton have silenced the bats today. Both pitching very well. Tomago takes high.

874
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:42,000
The ball 1-0. What an out. Nobody on. Shifts put on against Tomago again and his only dribbler is to the left of second. It's up high for ball 2-0. Tomago is having a first in his major league career.

875
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:59,000
This will be the first time anybody has ever put a shift on against him. But with Boughton. Knuckleball being a very slow one. The fielders will be out in front. Full of all 2-0 picks. Slow for ball 3. That didn't happen to Evans who blooped it down the left field line. Went for a double.

876
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:23,000
Boughton has walked just two minutes. Make it three minutes. Okay I will. 3-0 pitch. Strike call 3-1. Struck out 2 in the first inning. Some total abuse. Strike out. 3-1 pitch.

877
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:31,000
Bounce to the right side. Murphy has it. Boughton in time. And two minutes down.

878
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:54,000
Still gone. It will bring up Roger Metsker to bat for Caffey. I don't want to risk a bounce. Caffey's last name.

879
01:31:54,000 --> 01:32:15,000
I bet you it's Caffey. Metsker drives the ball foul past first base. Strike 1.

880
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:28,000
Now I'm going to one count to Roger Metsker batting with two out the bases. Tomorrow night, Saturday and Sunday here at Candlestick.

881
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:45,000
County bench and that's a bunch. Outside for a roll. Bench and a bunch. 1-1 catch. Murphy and Morgan. Boughton. Down ball right side. Fielded by the second baseman Hubbard.

882
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:58,000
Throw to Boughton in time and the side retires. Jim Boughton over and over and over. Get that one. No earth, no hit, no errors. No one left on. Another hand for Jim Boughton. End of pitch.

883
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:16,000
The score is 5-1.

884
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:29,000
That could be an indication that Jim Boughton has done all the pitching he's going to do in this one. Boughton with an outstanding effort. The Giants to only three hits. May still be in there. We'll have to wait and see.

885
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:46,000
Boughton to have a fine season. A double A ball in the minor leagues. Skip triple A and up to the majors and the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1978/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a>. Got smoked by the Dodgers but he's done a fine job against the Giants in his second appearance this year.

886
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:59,000
Another pitch. Bergen Ball is in there called strike. Nothing in one on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a> who is 0-2. He has a couple of ground outs. Batting average of 2-51. He has four homers and 21 RBI. Love being battered.

887
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:22,000
So Lucky says yes. The big guy delivers again. Nolan checks his swing on his inside fastball. 1-1. Giants 1, Atlanta 1 just getting started in the seventh inning.

888
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:34,000
Lucky says yes again. Here's a 1-1 pitch. It's just outside. Hit miss by Mott. 2-1.

889
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:55,000
And Lucky sets the deal again. He does swing and a miss for the fastball line. 2-2. Okay guys, only two strikeouts in the game. You got office and Murphy.

890
01:34:55,000 --> 01:35:05,000
Here's the next pitch. There's a breaking ball bouncing in and the count goes to 3-2. Don't forget, Fan Appreciation Day on September 24th.

891
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:16,000
Glad to be here. Giants planning all kinds of celebrations and gifts. Here's the 3-2 pitch. Inside, Maynard Lowe, ball four.

892
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:31,000
Has won't only hit second man. Nolan, the leadoff man, is on base in the seventh inning. Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a>, the batter.

893
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:47,000
Dad, Hulikki and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a> have been in total command. Each one is unearned. Ray's got theirs in the second and the Giants got even in the third. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a> is 0-2. He is safely forward on Hulikki's error and later scores.

894
01:35:47,000 --> 01:36:05,000
He's swinging and a miss. There goes the run of the throw in the center field. It's wide. Madlion diving to his left. They will knock the ball down and keep it right there. Give Nolan a stolen base. Got a big jump on Hulikki.

895
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:23,000
Nolan is now in scoring position with a count of one strike on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a>. Next pitch on the way is a comebacker under Hulikki's love into center field.

896
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:37,000
Nolan, now they third. He's going to score. Here comes the throw. It's cut off. Livey tried to cut it off. It got by him. It was sealed in by Tomargo and going to second is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a>. The Braves have taken a 2-1 lead.

897
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:53,000
RBI single to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a>. Remember yesterday's service stations when you got much more for your money than just a tank of gas? Your Cameron dealer remembers and next time you stop by, you will too. The Walkers stolen base and RBI single.

898
01:36:53,000 --> 01:37:08,000
The Braves have taken a 2-1 lead. Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/glenn-hubbard/>Glenn Hubbard</a>, the Atlanta second baseman up here. Here's the pitch. Blowin' outside, ball one. Ball hit directly up the middle of Hulikki.

899
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:24,000
Got the glove down but not far enough as the ball went under his glove and over second base into center field. Nolan able to score. Here's the pitch on the way. He's in there on the inside corner. One and one. A night of two runs on four hits. Giant one run on three hits and two errors.

900
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:44,000
Right hander and left hander warming up in the giant bullpen. Here's the pitch. It's front and foul. One and two on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/glenn-hubbard/>Glenn Hubbard</a> with a run in and Murphy at second base. Nobody down.

901
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:59,000
Right hander is Randy Moffett warming up. It looks like Phil Nasdu is left hander. Swing and a miss. Good heartbreaking slider. Got Hubbard on strike.

902
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:21,000
Number one in the seventh inning. That'll bring up Rob Gilbreth. Hulikki getting his third strike out. At night of two and the giant one, we're in the seventh.

903
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Rob Gilbreth is one for two. Here's a ground out and he's tripled. Here's a pitch just outside, ball one. Gilbreth had a triple with one out in the fifth.

904
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:52,000
Stand with Brandon. Look at time to keep the score right where it is. Two to one in favor of the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/atlanta-braves/1978/overview/>Atlanta Braves</a>. Big right hander says yes. Here's the pitch. A swing and a miss.

905
01:38:52,000 --> 01:39:06,000
One and one. Bob Beale in the on deck circle. He will be batting for Jim Poulton. Here's a one-one to us. Swing and a miss again.

906
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:23,000
One ball and two strikes. Some of the fans are not too happy about the fact that Poulton is leaving the game. If the Braves can hang on, Poulton will get the victory.

907
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:44,000
Here's a one-two delivery. He swung on and bowled away. That'll be out of play on the right side. And the count stays at a ball and two strikes.

908
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:56,000
Look at getting his sign. He says no. Now he says yes. And the one-two pitch. Swing and a miss. He got him on a fast ball. A couple of strikeouts for Huluki in the 7-52.

909
01:39:56,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Now Bob Beale will come up to hit for Jim Poulton. You might be able to hear the reaction in the fans. Fans here were enjoying. Jim Poulton is doing a fine job.

910
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:19,000
Bob Beale left hand batter.

911
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:23,000
This hit in the game yesterday in the 11th inning and ground it out.

912
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:30,000
Pitch down the way. Beale takes high away. Ball one.

913
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:35,000
Beale has a batting average of 255. Switch batter.

914
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:43,000
235 is a left-hander. 333 is a right-hander. He has one home run, 15 RBI.

915
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Off speed is in there for a call. Strike two. Good breaking ball.

916
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:55,000
One and two on Bob Beale.

917
01:40:55,000 --> 01:41:03,000
His one home run has come as a left-hander. And 10 of his 15 RBI's on the left side. Breaking ball in there.

918
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:12,000
That was strike two.

919
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:17,000
Right-hander getting his sign again. Murphy gets his lead at second.

920
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Here's a bit. Fast ball just outside. Two and two.

921
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:34,000
Ladder with two runs on four hits, three errors. Giants one run only, three hits and two errors. So looking at two-two pitch on the way. Breaking ball is just inside. Beale able to check his swing.

922
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:50,000
And he goes all the way on the pitch batter.

923
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:54,000
Here's a three-two delivery. He is outside.

924
01:41:54,000 --> 01:42:01,000
Beale draws a base on balls. Now with a couple of men on base and two downs, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-royster/>Jerry Royster</a> will come up and swing a bat.

925
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Walk number three, given up by a lucky.

926
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:27,000
Jim Fountain with a two-to-one lead at the moment. And as I mentioned, his embrace can hang on. Jim Fountain will get the victory. If so, it would be his first victory since July of 1970 when he beat the Giants. Eight years ago, almost today.

927
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:32,000
Swing and a foul back. Nothing in one.

928
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:37,000
Fountain is the guy who hasn't beaten the Giants in eight years.

929
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:45,000
And might do it again here.

930
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:51,000
So he's getting a sign again. The right hander delivers. Swing and a line drive. That will be a base hit to left center field.

931
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:57,000
Murphy coming in to score. Kuhl is fielding. Going to third is Beale and he's in there safely.

932
01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:05,000
And Royster winds up on second.

933
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Snow came in towards third and Royster, seeing them play directly in front of him, went to second. He will be given a double.

934
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:18,000
And the RBI, the Braves, have taken a three-to-one lead.

935
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:24,000
And now the batter will be rolling to offense.

936
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:28,000
The offense is over and he has a couple of ground outs and a strikeout.

937
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:32,000
They're rolling at a 2-53, nine home runs and 37 RBI.

938
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:41,000
Three-to-one Atlanta in the seven-pinning offense will be watched intentionally and it will pitch to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> where the base is loaded.

939
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:45,000
This will be the fourth walk given up by O'Lucky.

940
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:51,000
There's one intentional.

941
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:55,000
So the walk to Nolan, a stolen base, RBI single by Murphy.

942
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:59,000
Then after a couple of strikeouts, a walk to Pop Beale.

943
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,000
Then the RBI double by Royster.

944
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:13,000
Offense is being watched intentionally to load the bases and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> will come up.

945
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:17,000
Matthews in the game is two for three.

946
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:31,000
Had a single and a stolen base in the first. He's lined out in the third and can't kill a single in the sixth.

947
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Base is full of Braves. Two down in the seven-pinning and a couple of runs in.

948
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:43,000
Right hander from a windup now. Here's the pitch. Matthews takes high, ball one, offense ball.

949
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:49,000
Matthews ducking away from that one and dropping his pass.

950
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:59,000
Here's a one-nothing pitch. Swing and a miss is a good fastball. One and one.

951
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:04,000
Matthews coming into the season at two grand slams.

952
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:14,000
Swing and a miss at a good slider on the outside. One ball and two strikes.

953
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:18,000
Right hander in front of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a>. Here's a windup and a one-two delivery.

954
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,000
Swing and a miss. He got him on strike.

955
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:24,000
So look, he's slacked off the side in the seventh inning, but he gives up two runs.

956
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Now, the total of only two atlanteans. Two walks. Make that three walks in the inning.

957
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:37,000
And three man left on base. We go to the bottom of the seventh with Atlanta leading three to one.

958
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Sure, later. Love's gonna get you.

959
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:41,000
Harold?

960
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:42,000
Yes, sir? You're a bright guy.

961
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:43,000
Do you know the meaning of lunch hour?

962
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,000
Sir, I believe it means I get an hour for lunch.

963
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:49,000
Oh, I knew you were bright, Harold. Now tell me, what's so important it takes an hour and a half?

964
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Oh, well, it's my new love, sir.

965
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:52,000
Oh, your new love.

966
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:55,000
My new love. I just forget all about it.

967
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:56,000
My lovely new love.

968
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:57,000
Pretty special.

969
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:58,000
It's exciting.

970
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:03,000
What is Chevy Love in your life? And see if you don't spend more time just having fun driving.

971
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:07,000
Chevy Love is the top economy size pickup, and right now is a great time for love,

972
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:14,000
because your Chevy dealer has a big selection, and he's ready to make the kind of deal you might expect on Chevy's top economy size pickup.

973
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:19,000
What's more, Chevy Love is rated at 30 miles per gallon on the highway, 22 in the city.

974
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:23,000
Those are EPA estimates with manual transmission, and your mileage will vary.

975
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:28,000
And Chevy Love is also available with a seven and a half foot box, the longest of any economy size pickup.

976
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:31,000
Harold, I think I'd like a new love.

977
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:33,000
I'll go see your Chevy dealer, sir.

978
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:34,000
Right idea.

979
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,000
Take an hour and a half.

980
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:48,000
Before going to the bottom of the 710, let's pause for station identification.

981
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:53,000
This is the Golden West radio network.

982
01:46:53,000 --> 01:47:00,000
Now, Dean Nelson, weekly warnings on KSFO 560 San Francisco.

983
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:09,000
The left hander, Craig Stoke, in relief of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bouton/>Jim Bouton</a>, here in the bottom of the 710.

984
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:13,000
Bouton, with the first 60, gave up only one run on three.

985
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:17,000
As he walked three, he struck out two.

986
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:22,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-herndon/>Larry Herndon</a> will come up and swing the bat for Ed Helucki.

987
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:31,000
Helucki goes seven and he gives up only three runs on five.

988
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:34,000
He walked four, one in the initial.

989
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:40,000
And he had a total of five strikeouts in the game, including three in the seventh inning.

990
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:47,000
Craig Stoke and left hander into a pitch against Herndon and Matlock and then Whitfield.

991
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:49,000
Braves in front, three to one.

992
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:53,000
Left hander ready, winds and deals.

993
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:56,000
Herndon takes a breaking ball in there for strike one.

994
01:47:56,000 --> 01:48:00,000
Stoke making his 40th appearance.

995
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:03,000
He is three and one with an ERA of 4.42.

996
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,000
He has a couple of saves.

997
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:07,000
Here's a one strike pitch.

998
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:10,000
Fast ball is low, one to one.

999
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:22,000
Left hander deals again.

1000
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:25,000
Herndon takes low and inside, two to one.

1001
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:28,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-herndon/>Larry Herndon</a> in with a two and one count.

1002
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:29,000
And Stoke delivers.

1003
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:32,000
Check swing has been near a golf strike.

1004
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:35,000
A fast ball on the knees at the outside corner.

1005
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:38,000
The count is even up with two and two.

1006
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,000
Herndon hitting 261.

1007
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:43,000
He has one home run, 31 on the outside.

1008
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:46,000
He's got a little bit of a lead on the outside.

1009
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,000
He's got a little bit of a lead on the outside.

1010
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:52,000
He's got a little bit of a lead on the outside.

1011
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:55,000
He's got a little bit of a lead on the outside.

1012
01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:57,000
He's got a little bit of a lead on the outside.

1013
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:58,000
Here's a pitch.

1014
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:00,000
Breaking ball is dropping foul on the left side.

1015
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:03,000
Count stays at two balls and two strikes.

1016
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:09,000
The only giant scoring in the game, the run was unearned in the second inning on a walk to mad-lock.

1017
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:12,000
Couple of errors.

1018
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:16,000
and a fly ball off the bat of Mike Ivey.

1019
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:18,000
And that has been it.

1020
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:24,000
Left hander says no a couple of times.

1021
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:26,000
Now he says, okay, I like that one.

1022
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:27,000
Here's the next pitch.

1023
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,000
Swing run, and they've got him on a rising fastball.

1024
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:31,000
It's one of ball three.

1025
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:33,000
Turned in out number one in the seventh inning.

1026
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:35,000
Now Bill Matlock.

1027
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:40,000
Matlock in this one is 0 for 2.

1028
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:41,000
He's struck out.

1029
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:42,000
He has walked.

1030
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:43,000
He has lined out.

1031
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:46,000
Rot of a hit in the fifth inning by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/rod-gilbert/>Rod Gilbert</a>.

1032
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:49,000
At the minute of time, he catches third.

1033
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:51,000
So Matlock is 0 for 2.

1034
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:54,000
Came in with a batting average of 316.

1035
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:57,000
At the moment, hitting 315.

1036
01:49:57,000 --> 01:50:00,000
With 15 home runs and 42 RBI.

1037
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:01,000
Here's the pitch.

1038
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:03,000
Matlock checks on a breaking ball.

1039
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,000
It's low, ball one.

1040
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:08,000
The on deck is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/terry-whitfield/>Terry Whitfield</a>.

1041
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:13,000
Three to one Atlanta in the bottom of the seventh inning.

1042
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:18,000
Now a couple of right handers warming up in the giant bat.

1043
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:21,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/charlie-williams/>Charlie Williams</a> and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/randy-moffitt/>Randy Moffitt</a>.

1044
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:23,000
Here's a one nothing pitch.

1045
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:27,000
Here's a breaking ball grounded foul into the Atlanta dugout.

1046
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:29,000
One and one.

1047
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:31,000
Beautiful day here at Candles Peak.

1048
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:36,000
Tomorrow night <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1978/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a> in for the first of three weekend games.

1049
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:41,000
Friday Blue goes against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/tom-seaver/>Tom Seaver</a>.

1050
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,000
A lot of smoke tomorrow night.

1051
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,000
Here's a one one pitch.

1052
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:49,000
Luke to shallow center behind second going out is Hubbard.

1053
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:50,000
He makes the catch.

1054
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:56,000
On the edge of the outfield turf, Matlock is out number two.

1055
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:01,000
Out <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/terry-whitfield/>Terry Whitfield</a> is one for three.

1056
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:07,000
He had one of only three hits against Jim Boughton in his six innings of work.

1057
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:12,000
Whitfield came in hitting 296.

1058
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:15,000
Nine homers and 29 RBI.

1059
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:21,000
Craig Spoke delivers a slider called strike on the outside.

1060
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:24,000
0 and one.

1061
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:30,000
Gilbreth is up very shallow at third.

1062
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,000
Here's the 0-1 pitch.

1063
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:33,000
Little bit low.

1064
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:45,000
One one.

1065
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:47,000
Left hander against left hander.

1066
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:49,000
Here's a one one pitch.

1067
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:54,000
Swing and a miss is a good sample for all sailing in on Whitfield's jams if anyone runs through it.

1068
01:51:54,000 --> 01:52:05,000
One and two.

1069
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:08,000
Next pitch, Whitfield swings and he grabs it right side.

1070
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:09,000
Lunging stop by Hubbard.

1071
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:11,000
Spin, throws and catches.

1072
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:13,000
Great play by Hubbard.

1073
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:14,000
Breezy far to his left.

1074
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:21,000
That's fielding it on the edge of the outfield turf, spinning all the way around, getting rid of it and getting Whitfield by his step.

1075
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:25,000
Now the Giants go down in order in the seven pinnings.

1076
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:40,000
We go to the eighth with the score at lattice three and the Giants one.

1077
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:47,000
If you're looking for a health plan or dissatisfied with your present plan, Blue Shield has some differences you should know about.

1078
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:53,000
The coverage you need depends on whether you were growing back to your old or a retired one.

1079
01:52:53,000 --> 01:53:05,000
Every Blue Shield growing ex plan has important differences and they all provide up to $300,000 in lifetime benefits for each and every covered member in case of catastrophic illness or injury.

1080
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:13,000
Not a family total of $300,000 but up to $300,000 for each and every covered member of your family.

1081
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:17,000
That's major protection for major health problems.

1082
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:24,000
If you want to know more about Blue Shield's corn ex plan and the Blue Shield differences, call or write Blue Shield today.

1083
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:48,000
The Giants are running the Giants with a couple of defensive changes. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/larry-herndon/>Larry Herndon</a> stays in again to play center field batting knife.

1084
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:58,000
A.D. Cruz moves over to left field. He will continue to bat fifth and in to do the pitching is right hander Randy Moffett.

1085
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:04,000
He will bat number two in Whitfield's part.

1086
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:13,000
Randy Moffett in relief of that, Hillergeer went seven and he gave him three runs on five as he walked four and struck out five.

1087
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:20,000
Moffett would have been bothered by a sore shoulder.

1088
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:29,000
He came up with that sore shoulder in Atlanta and he has it pinned in.

1089
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:43,000
Randy is making his 64th appearance. He is 8-4. His ERA is 2.24. He has a total of 74 and two thirds. He has given up 27 runs on 72 hits.

1090
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:47,000
Burrows swings and lifts a fly ball on the right field line. Dwyer coming in will play it on one hop.

1091
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:58,000
Burrows rod these first. Now the ball getting away from Dwyer. Burrows is on his way to third. Here's a throw from Matlock. It is not in time.

1092
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:06,000
You see how they rule that. A blooper down the right field line. Dwyer came racing into the infield, pulled up, decided to play the ball on one hop.

1093
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:12,000
It bounced over his head and Dwyer had trouble picking it up.

1094
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:16,000
That will be how they rule that.

1095
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:32,000
They have given Dwyer an error. It's either a single and a two base error or a double and a one base error.

1096
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:40,000
They give Burrows a double and give Dwyer the error.

1097
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:47,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a> takes a tall strike on the inside corner.

1098
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:52,000
Oh, there he is. Pulled out of there.

1099
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:59,000
Randy Mopper, the infield playing in. 3-1 Atlanta in front. Here's a pitch that's inside. 1-1.

1100
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:04,000
Nolan against Hillock. He was 0-2. A couple of ground outs and a base on balls.

1101
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:11,000
Joe, the Atlanta catcher, 82-51 coming in with four home runs and 21 RBI.

1102
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:19,000
Burrows at third. Here's a 1-1 pitch on the way. He's low on inside. 2-1. On deck is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a>.

1103
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:28,000
Atlanta 3 is a giant 1 in the eighth inning.

1104
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:33,000
Here's a pitch. Low on inside again.

1105
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:37,000
3-1 on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a>. Tomargo out to have a talk with Moffett.

1106
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:42,000
Giant 2 sets the defense for you. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-evans/>Darrell Evans</a> is third. <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/roger-metzger/>Roger Metzger</a> is short.

1107
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:45,000
Matlock is second. Mike Ivey is first.

1108
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:53,000
John Tomargo back of the plate. Cruz, Herndon, and Dwyer in the outfield.

1109
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:58,000
Moffett ready. Into his motion, a 3-1 pitch. It's one-on and one-hop to Ivey.

1110
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:02,000
He will hold the runner down to his knees to feel and steps on the back.

1111
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:06,000
Good play by Mike Ivey. His shot hit directly to his right.

1112
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:11,000
Mike able to come up with it on one-hop and make the play.

1113
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:18,000
Nolan unable to get the ball out of the infield. One away. Now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/dale-murphy/>Dale Murphy</a> to batter.

1114
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:23,000
Murphy who is 1-3, who is safely aboard on Saluki's error in the second.

1115
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:29,000
He's struck out in the fourth and he's single in the seventh inning and scored on the double by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jerry-royster/>Jerry Royster</a>.

1116
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:34,000
Atlanta 3 to Giant 1. Moffett and Tomargo converging.

1117
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:38,000
We've <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/glenn-hubbard/>Glenn Hubbard</a> due up next.

1118
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:42,000
And the Braves already in front 3-1. Might not be a bad idea to pitch around Murphy.

1119
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:47,000
He's better walking intentionally. We're going to pitch to him.

1120
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:50,000
First base open.

1121
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:54,000
Cruz on his third. Here's the pitch on the way. Murphy takes low and away.

1122
01:57:54,000 --> 01:58:00,000
Backhanders by Tomargo. It's 1-0.

1123
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:07,000
Murphy with a 23 homerun, 77 RBI. Danger.

1124
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:09,000
1-0 pitch.

1125
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:23,000
High inside, 2-0.

1126
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:28,000
Moffett's 2-0 pitch is swung on and Tomargo back out of play. 2-1.

1127
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:34,000
Again the Giants' infield playing and if they can they will try to get Burrows and have to play.

1128
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:39,000
Or hold in there. The offfield deep and slightly right.

1129
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:42,000
Leah Turnedon is in center field.

1130
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:45,000
A lot of the three runs on six hits and three errors.

1131
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:52,000
Giants one run on only three hits and three errors.

1132
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:54,000
Moffett's 2-1 pitch on the way.

1133
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:59,000
Twana come backer Moffett holding the runner at third and is throwing off Murphy.

1134
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:04,000
Good play for Moffett.

1135
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:09,000
Randall using good reaction. Able to flank that one down and get Murphy at first.

1136
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:14,000
Two down and that will bring up <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/glenn-hubbard/>Glenn Hubbard</a>.

1137
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:23,000
If Moffett had not been able to field that one that would have been a base hit up the middle.

1138
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:27,000
Hubbard again so what he was 0-2.

1139
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:31,000
Here's the pitch of Slider in there for strike one.

1140
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:37,000
It was his suicide squeeze run that gave Atlanta 1-0 lead in the second inning.

1141
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:41,000
Since then he has played out his truck out.

1142
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:46,000
Next pitch on the way. Line drive, softly hit in the center field for a base hit.

1143
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:54,000
Murphy comes in to score and the Braves have now taken a 4-1 lead.

1144
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:58,000
Not Murphy I should say. Jeff Burrows.

1145
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:04,000
That's a nice pitch runner in there for Burrows. Never even saw him come in.

1146
02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:07,000
Barry Pennell had come into the game.

1147
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:14,000
So the Braves have taken a 4-1 lead. Pennell comes in to score on the single by Hubbard and that will bring up Rod Gilbreth.

1148
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:19,000
Here's the pitch. Look out high and inside under his chin.

1149
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:25,000
Gilbreth is 1-3. He had a triple in the fifth inning.

1150
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:29,000
Giants just can't seem to snap out of this.

1151
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:34,000
Trail 4-1 in the eighth inning.

1152
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:37,000
Ivy playing out of the back of the first holding Hubbard close.

1153
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:41,000
Hubbard with his second RBI of the game and his eighth of the season.

1154
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:58,000
Here's the pitch. It's high, ball two, 2-0.

1155
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:01,000
High and inside again under his chin.

1156
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:06,000
Gilbreth talking to play down fire Paul Pryor saying hey what's going on here?

1157
02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:14,000
Did he get a warning or what? Moffett has come inside three times.

1158
02:01:14,000 --> 02:01:16,000
Twice under his chin.

1159
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:19,000
Here's the 3-0 delivery. He walked him on four pitches.

1160
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:22,000
That was a couple of men on base.

1161
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:25,000
Drake Scope will be the batter.

1162
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:34,000
First walk given up by Moffett.

1163
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:40,000
Runners on first and second with two down and Drake Scope.

1164
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:45,000
The throw is left handed and that's right handed.

1165
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:49,000
Scope getting 286 this season.

1166
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:56,000
It was only two for seven with no home runs, no RBI.

1167
02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:59,000
Moffett getting his time. A couple of men on base.

1168
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:06,000
Here's the pitch. Scope swings and fouls it back over the screen. 0-1.

1169
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:10,000
Gray has got one in the second. They had a two in the seventh and one more in the eighth.

1170
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:18,000
Giants got their only run in the third inning.

1171
02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:28,000
Next pitch, swung on and grounded on one hop to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/darrell-evans/>Darrell Evans</a> who seals at the bag, steps on it for the fourth on Hubbard and Adley tires it's eyes.

1172
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:31,000
But in the eighth inning the Braves get one more on two hits.

1173
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:33,000
One giant error and a couple of men left on base.

1174
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:39,000
We go to the bottom of the eighth inning. It is Atlanta 4 and the Giants 1.

1175
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:49,000
It's time to let it go.

1176
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:17,000
You know what the land of the birds is like that he's made here.

1177
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:21,000
When she's a bird, I'm a bird.

1178
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:25,000
She's a land of birds.

1179
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:29,000
When she's a bird, I'm a bird.

1180
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:33,000
You can't let her go.

1181
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:37,000
When she's a bird, I'm a bird.

1182
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:45,000
And I'm a bird.

1183
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:54,000
Here at the bottom of the eighth inning, Atlanta leading 4-1. The Braves, Barry Bennell stays in the game to play left field.

1184
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:59,000
Hoffman stays in the center, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> in the right.

1185
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:07,000
He'll play the third, Royce to it short, Hubbard still in second, Sal Murky is first, and <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/joe-nolan/>Joe Nolan</a> back in the play.

1186
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:10,000
Great scope, left hander by the work his second inning of relief.

1187
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:15,000
He will pitch to Ivy, Evans, and Cruz with the Braves in front 4-1.

1188
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:21,000
Mike Ivy is 0-2. He has the only RBI for the Giants.

1189
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:24,000
He got that on a sacrifice fly in the third inning.

1190
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:28,000
Mike hitting 3-10 coming into the game.

1191
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:35,000
Home runs now with a total of 50 RBI's.

1192
02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:38,000
Skokie in the relief of <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bowden/>Jim Bowden</a>.

1193
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:43,000
Ivy checks on a breaking ball as low, ball one.

1194
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:49,000
Bowden's game to win, and right now, the luckiest game to lose.

1195
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:52,000
3-1 Atlanta, 4-1.

1196
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:57,000
Here's a 1-0 pitch, a golf strike on the outside corner at the D.

1197
02:04:57,000 --> 02:05:08,000
1-1.

1198
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:11,000
Might have been the 1-1 for his swing, and in the midst he blew a fastball by,

1199
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:26,000
and there Ivy a little behind on the swing, it's 1-2.

1200
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:28,000
South end of getting his sign again as Ivy digs in.

1201
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:30,000
4-1 Atlanta in front.

1202
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:34,000
Here's the pitch. Ivy takes the call, strike three.

1203
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:37,000
Wild way in the eighth inning, now 0-11.

1204
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:41,000
Giants not very hitters today.

1205
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:51,000
The way things are at the ballpark today and yesterday brings back memories of 1977 and 1976, the atmosphere.

1206
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:54,000
Skokie getting his second strike out, now 0-11.

1207
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:58,000
Darrell is 1-3, had a bloop double down the left field line in the fifth inning.

1208
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:02,000
He's also flied out and grounded us.

1209
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:05,000
Darrell takes low for ball one.

1210
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:10,000
On deck is A.T. Cruz.

1211
02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:14,000
Atlanta 4-1, 7 hits, 3 errors.

1212
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:20,000
Giants 1-1, 3 hits, 3 errors.

1213
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Skokie says yes.

1214
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:37,000
Here's the pitch. Evans takes low and outside, 2-0.

1215
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:40,000
Very relaxing afternoon here at campus.

1216
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:44,000
2-0 delivery is low for ball three.

1217
02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:46,000
3-0 on 0-11.

1218
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:50,000
In the bottom of the eighth inning with one away and the Brazen front 4-1.

1219
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:53,000
The type is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/cincinnati-reds/1978/overview/>Cincinnati Reds</a>.

1220
02:06:53,000 --> 02:06:58,000
In town all weekend.

1221
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:02,000
There's a call, strike three and one. Darrell takes all the way.

1222
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:08,000
Three balls and one strike on the Giants third baseman.

1223
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:15,000
Darrell who doesn't figure to be around in 1979, he has yet to sign a contract playing out his option.

1224
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:18,000
Along with <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-barr/>Jim Barr</a>.

1225
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:20,000
Here's the 3-1 delivery is low and outside.

1226
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:22,000
He's got the base on balls with one away.

1227
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:26,000
Now A.T. Cruz.

1228
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:29,000
First walk given up by Craig Soap.

1229
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,000
You don't have to have a hard day on the job.

1230
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:34,000
Sit back and relax with Budweiser.

1231
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:36,000
You know that's the perfect way to end a hectic day.

1232
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:40,000
Just you and the king of fear.

1233
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:46,000
A.T. Cruz, one for two, a double, is also fouled out and walked.

1234
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:50,000
Cruz with seven home runs and 30 RBI.

1235
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:52,000
Devin's getting his lead.

1236
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:56,000
Here's a pitch on the way to Cruz, a breaking ball down too low.

1237
02:07:56,000 --> 02:08:02,000
One and O. On deck is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-dwyer/>Jim Dwyer</a>.

1238
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:06,000
After the Cincinnati series the Giants will be on their way to San Diego.

1239
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:11,000
Three games back here against Houston the following Friday for four games.

1240
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:16,000
Then the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/san-diego-padres/1978/overview/>San Diego Padres</a> on the 26th and 27th to close out their home schedule.

1241
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:20,000
Here's a pitch on the way. Cruz takes a fast ball just outside.

1242
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:22,000
Two and O.

1243
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:24,000
And a double header against the Astros on the 24th.

1244
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:39,000
It's fan appreciation day.

1245
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:41,000
Cruz away at first.

1246
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:43,000
Skok looks it in and now he comes home.

1247
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:45,000
Cruz takes a call strike.

1248
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:54,000
Fast ball two and one.

1249
02:08:54,000 --> 02:09:01,000
The Giants close out the season in the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/stadiums/astrodome/>Astrodome</a> with three games against the Astros on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

1250
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:09,000
The final game of the season will be on October 1st unless they catch the Dodgers.

1251
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:35,000
All the way down the right field line it will be drifting into the season out of place.

1252
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:39,000
The first hand already is here's a pitch. Breaking ball is in the dirt.

1253
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:40,000
Three and two.

1254
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:43,000
Giants seven games behind the Dodgers in the Western Division.

1255
02:09:43,000 --> 02:09:52,000
They're not out of it yet mathematically but the only trouble is the Giants aren't showing any signs of coming to life at all.

1256
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:57,000
They're playing like they've lost interest.

1257
02:09:57,000 --> 02:09:58,000
Here's a pitch again.

1258
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:05,000
And Grout is shortstop. Could be two to second for one. Hubbard's relay double play.

1259
02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:09,000
And maybe even losing more interest.

1260
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:15,000
In the eighth inning no runs, no hits, no errors, no one left out at the end of 8-4 to 1 Atlanta.

1261
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:16,000
Bernie Shevron.

1262
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:17,000
I heard he closed.

1263
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:19,000
I have a person who ordered a change in the order.

1264
02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:21,000
Well listen I can do that for you George.

1265
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:22,000
Now I'm taking notes.

1266
02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:29,000
Okay you get some oil and maybe an Atlas oil filter. You see a clean oil filter is just as important as clean oil.

1267
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:32,000
And some gasless oil filter.

1268
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:34,000
Change into old clothes you never want to see again.

1269
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:36,000
Old clothes.

1270
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:38,000
Get a wrench for the oil filter.

1271
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:39,000
What kind of wrench?

1272
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:40,000
Well take a guess George.

1273
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:41,000
Oil filter wrench.

1274
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:43,000
Have a pan ready to catch all that old oil.

1275
02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:45,000
Old oil? What do I do with it?

1276
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:47,000
Well be thinking about that George.

1277
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:53,000
Open the hood and unscrew the oil filter. Coat the rubber part of the new filter with some grease.

1278
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Oh you sure know your stuff Bernie.

1279
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:55,000
Then screw the new filter.

1280
02:10:55,000 --> 02:10:57,000
No Bernie I'll bring it right over.

1281
02:10:57,000 --> 02:11:04,000
It takes just minutes to get an oil change. I'm a quality Atlas oil filter at the Shevron along your way today.

1282
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:07,000
Sorry was I boring you George?

1283
02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:22,000
If you were a baseball team you'd be the <a href=https://retroseasons.com/teams/minnesota-twins/1978/overview/>Washington Senators</a> remember them?

1284
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:24,000
We played eight here at Cattle's Dig.

1285
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:26,000
It might have four runs, seven hits and three errors.

1286
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:29,000
The Giants with one run on three hits and three errors.

1287
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:33,000
And here to take you the rest of the way, bring you the ninth inning is <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/lon-simmons/>Lon Simmons</a>.

1288
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:41,000
Top of the order for the Braves. It'll be Royce Shutt, office in Matthews against <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/randy-moffitt/>Randy Moffitt</a>.

1289
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:46,000
Braves breaking open a one-one ball game with two in the seventh and one in the eighth.

1290
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:49,000
A very happy man at the moment and maybe very nervous.

1291
02:11:49,000 --> 02:12:00,000
Jim Bolton and the Braves run out hoping that Craig Skokin close it out and give him his first major league victory since the 1970s strike call.

1292
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:07,000
The last major league win against the Giants on July 11th, 1970 in one inning of relief.

1293
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:09,000
Moffitt's one strike to it.

1294
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:17,000
High and inside, 12-1, one and one.

1295
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:23,000
Moffitt who is making his first appearance just entering his arm in Atlanta.

1296
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:26,000
Pop up right side, Ivy, glasses down, waiting.

1297
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:31,000
Fair territory, Mexico, that's out number one.

1298
02:12:31,000 --> 02:12:33,000
Roll it off it.

1299
02:12:33,000 --> 02:12:36,000
Hole for three up here against Moffitt.

1300
02:12:36,000 --> 02:12:40,000
Four to one, the Braves lead.

1301
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:44,000
Can't help but rooting for Jim Poulson.

1302
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:52,000
Wish he would have come against another ball club but he has to admire his comeback.

1303
02:12:52,000 --> 02:12:59,000
Popped up foul, Evans is playable, makes the catch and two men are down.

1304
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:04,000
Two of the softest little pop-ups you're ever going to see.

1305
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:08,000
And now <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> who has single twice in four trips.

1306
02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:11,000
Giants baseball brought to you in part by Champions Park Blood Company.

1307
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:20,000
Over 34 million people have switched to Champions Park Blood.

1308
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:30,000
Now, don't play them by the ball, fire one, take a look at the baseball, you'll give another one to Moffitt.

1309
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:32,000
And <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> steps up here.

1310
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:41,000
Fouls, just three outs away from getting his first major league victory since 1970.

1311
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:50,000
Matthews winds it to backhand catch by Ivy but he trapped it and then he throws to Moffitt in time to get Matthews.

1312
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:54,000
Ivy hopes to take Moffitt alive with that throw.

1313
02:13:54,000 --> 02:13:58,000
Ivy thought that he'd caught the ball as he made a diving backhand stab at the line drive.

1314
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:01,000
First base number, Jerry J. doesn't know you've trapped it.

1315
02:14:01,000 --> 02:14:06,000
And then Ivy whistles a throw to Moffitt and gets Matthews.

1316
02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:16,000
A one, two, three inning and now we go to the bottom of the ninth and Jim Fountain sitting on the edge of the seat

1317
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:20,000
wondering if Craig Scott can win it or save it.

1318
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:24,000
As we go to the ninth and it's the end of eight and a half.

1319
02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:26,000
It is four to one for the Warriors.

1320
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:37,000
Will I remember when I was a kid, I was a kid too, and so was Matthews, and then I knew, I figured out it's a drive and then my 50-cent on the board, yeah, yeah.

1321
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:42,000
Hey Rocky, you said my board's better than your board.

1322
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:44,000
Well yeah, what do you got that thing?

1323
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:46,000
Yeah, well I got a new set of champion clubs.

1324
02:14:46,000 --> 02:14:50,000
Oh, well, hey Mr. Manage, remember I gotta get my duck skull turned right?

1325
02:14:50,000 --> 02:15:01,000
Hey Rocky, I bet my thing don't get better mileage than yesterday though.

1326
02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:03,000
Yeah, tell me what do you got in that thing?

1327
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:05,000
Yeah, well I got a new set of champion clubs.

1328
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:06,000
Oh, wow.

1329
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:09,000
Hey, I gotta split, I just remembered I gotta get a head transplant, right?

1330
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:32,000
Yeah, I got a new set of champion clubs.

1331
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:39,000
Well, I got a new set of champion clubs.

1332
02:15:39,000 --> 02:16:02,000
Okay, Garber will come on to put the ninth inning for the Braves.

1333
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:11,000
Going back, this is Garber with four wins and five defeats.

1334
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:19,000
Delivers outside to <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-dwyer/>Jim Dwyer</a>, Tamargo, and Metzger.

1335
02:16:19,000 --> 02:16:25,000
Against Garber, the right-hander delivers, line drive, right field, Matthews going back, still going, leaps,

1336
02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:27,000
and makes a great one-handed catch.

1337
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:31,000
Collides with the fence and comes up holding the baseball.

1338
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:34,000
Spectacular catch by <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a>.

1339
02:16:34,000 --> 02:16:42,000
On a drive over his head by Dwyer, Matthews raced to the barrier, his back to the infield,

1340
02:16:42,000 --> 02:16:46,000
leaped in the air, made a one-handed catch, collided with the post,

1341
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:49,000
hit the ground and came up holding the ball.

1342
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:53,000
It shows that he's held on and Dwyer's robbed.

1343
02:16:53,000 --> 02:16:55,000
So on number one, <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/john-tamargo/>John Tamargo</a> will be the batter.

1344
02:16:55,000 --> 02:16:59,000
So maybe the Spades are smiling on <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bowden/>Jim Bowden</a> today,

1345
02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:02,000
but they did so very well during sixth inning.

1346
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:06,000
Now they leaping catch to prevent the Giants from getting something started

1347
02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:11,000
with the first batter up here, and Tamargo takes the ball once.

1348
02:17:11,000 --> 02:17:14,000
Garber's one-oh pitch, a strike, one-and-one.

1349
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:18,000
Tamargo batting left-handed against the right-hander.

1350
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:25,000
Garber, this really takes Atlanta off the hook, even if Bob were not to win this one.

1351
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:30,000
Garber looks rocked about, got a chance to pitch against the Dodgers with a pen and race on line drive.

1352
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:36,000
Bow, hit down the right field line, one and two.

1353
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:40,000
There probably will be no murmurs at all.

1354
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:44,000
Now that Jim has stepped in here and pitched sixth inning,

1355
02:17:44,000 --> 02:17:50,000
he'll have nowhere to run on just three hits.

1356
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:56,000
Tamargo follows it slowly down the first-base side, and it stays at one and two.

1357
02:17:56,000 --> 02:18:02,000
<a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/jim-bowden/>Jim Bowden</a> now two outs away from recording his first major league victory since 1970.

1358
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:08,000
He can thank <a href=https://retroseasons.com/players/gary-matthews/>Gary Matthews</a> for a brilliant catch robbing Dwyer.

1359
02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:13,000
And Garber into the wind at the right-hander, who shows the numbers on his back to the hitter.

1360
02:18:13,000 --> 02:18:18,000
He delivers low and inside for a ball, two and two.

1361
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:25,000
It's a shame, maybe although he's probably won't notice that difference.

1362
02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:29,000
It's a shame that one of the candles to big crowds was here today to watch him.

1363
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:31,000
Two-two pitch followed away to the right.

1364
02:18:31,000 --> 02:18:34,000
That makes the crowd made up of enthusiasm for Bowden,

1365
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:43,000
with the lacked of size as they were giving him a standing ovation each time he came off the mound.

1366
02:18:43,000 --> 02:18:49,000
He plays with Dave Rosberg as a two-two couch to Tamargo with one out base is empty.

1367
02:18:49,000 --> 02:18:51,000
Bottom of the ninth.

1368
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:57,000
Tamargo follows it at the plate, stays at two and two.

1369
02:18:57,000 --> 02:19:01,000
Garber was the winning pitcher in yesterday's 12-inning ball game.

1370
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:06,000
The Giants, I don't know if it has anything to do with it or not,

1371
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:13,000
but he's won one ball game since it was announced that the radio stations were going to change.

1372
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:14,000
Two-two pitch.

1373
02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:17,000
Ground to the right side, an easy play for Murphy.

1374
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:22,000
He will beat Tamargo to the bag in two minutes.

1375
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:25,000
Right here, let's pause for station identification.

1376
02:19:25,000 --> 02:19:29,000
This is the Golden West Radio Network.

1377
02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:40,000
Now, Team Nelson, weekly warnings on KSFO 560 San Francisco.

1378
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:46,000
Turok.

1379
02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:48,000
Turok.

1380
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:50,000
Metzger the batter.

1381
02:19:50,000 --> 02:19:51,000
He's 0-2.

1382
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:53,000
That's left-handed against Garber.

1383
02:19:53,000 --> 02:20:00,000
About just one out away from recording his first victory in the 1970s.

1384
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:04,000
Garber trying to get it for him outside for a ball.

1385
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:07,000
At third base, Gilford plays up close.

1386
02:20:07,000 --> 02:20:10,000
Fanelli, left fielder, shallow.

1387
02:20:10,000 --> 02:20:11,000
Strike call.

1388
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:19,000
So is offense and center.

1389
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:20,000
Metzger waiting.

1390
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:23,000
Garber gets the target, the pitch.

1391
02:20:23,000 --> 02:20:25,000
Bounce slowly towards shortstop.

1392
02:20:25,000 --> 02:20:26,000
Royster charges.

1393
02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:27,000
Has it.

1394
02:20:27,000 --> 02:20:28,000
Throws the first.

1395
02:20:28,000 --> 02:20:29,000
He got him.

1396
02:20:29,000 --> 02:20:36,000
And the side retired, Jim Fountain, gets his first major league victory since 1970.

1397
02:20:36,000 --> 02:20:41,000
And that last major league win was against the Giants on July 11th of 1970,

1398
02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:43,000
a game in which he pitched freely.

1399
02:20:43,000 --> 02:20:45,000
Fountain is the winner here today.

1400
02:20:45,000 --> 02:21:05,000
The Braves win it 4-1, and we'll have the final totals for you in just one minute.

1401
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:07,000
Get ready for National Chevy Week America.

1402
02:21:07,000 --> 02:21:09,000
Coming September 15th through the 23rd,

1403
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:13,000
with Chevy leaders everywhere, we'll be offering you some great Chevy values.

1404
02:21:13,000 --> 02:21:16,000
There'll be a picture-like team of cars and trucks worth the juice for us,

1405
02:21:16,000 --> 02:21:19,000
and many heroes will be extending their hours.

1406
02:21:19,000 --> 02:21:22,000
There'll be great values on cars like Chevy Cement, from Charlo,

1407
02:21:22,000 --> 02:21:27,000
and the Chevrolet Complete, at Impala, on trucks like Chevy Rob and Blazer,

1408
02:21:27,000 --> 02:21:28,000
and on Chevy Dan II.

1409
02:21:28,000 --> 02:21:33,000
It'll all be happening during National Chevy Week starting next Friday the 16th.

1410
02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:34,000
That's your Chevy dealers.

1411
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:37,000
So get ready, America.

1412
02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:57,000
The final totals on today's game, the Braves 4-run, 7 hits, 3 errors, 8 men left,

1413
02:21:57,000 --> 02:22:03,000
the Giants 1-run, 3 hits, 3 errors, and 7 men left on base.

1414
02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:07,000
But the big story is that Jim Fountain is the winner.

1415
02:22:07,000 --> 02:22:09,000
He is now 1-1.

1416
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:12,000
It's 1978 season at Flicke.

1417
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:21,000
The loser is 8-9, and Fountain wins his first game since July 11, 1970.

1418
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:24,000
And it was against the Giants, 21 that last one,

1419
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:30,000
for his last major league victory before he went into retirement.

1420
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:34,000
It was against the Giants, and his first victory after he comes out

1421
02:22:34,000 --> 02:23:01,000
is against the Giants in the major league.
