2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,000
All the good sports are on Pirates, TVE, Jets, Bergen, and...
3
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:52,000
All right, we told you there wind up is Cash Boat, Johnstone, Wazinski, Allen and Schmidt, Maddox, Oates, and Underwood.
4
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:03,000
For us, when he stemmed it, St. Guiam, Al Oliver, Willie Studgel, Richie Zesk, Dave Pucker, Richie Hebner, Frank Tavares, and Bruce Keeson.
5
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Keeson, 11 and 11 on the year is 2 and 2 against them. Last time out he beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9 to 1 when he upset Tom Underwood.
6
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
That was a tough game going along. All of a sudden we broke it open.
7
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Now the Pirates have got a lot of things riding tonight. It ought to be the loosest they've been able to play practically throughout the year.
8
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,000
From the standpoint of one very simple reason, that they know all they've got to do is win one of these three and it's all over.
9
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000
And they only have to know one other thing. If they don't win one of these three, they only have to win two of the next six.
10
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Or the Philadelphia Phillies have got to lose two of their next seven. Now somewhere along the line that combination has got to work out to where you find out that you've got yourself a National League Eastern champion.
11
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:00,000
So let's see how she goes. Cash at 300, four homers, 52 runs batted in. I'll tell you one thing though. Phillies have not given up.
12
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Ball inside. Billy Williams calling the balls and strikes. Andy Olson, Dick Stelow, and Shag Crawford, a great umpiring crew working here. 1-0.
13
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Ball outside. Billy Demar is coaching at third. Delay of 25 minutes officially. Strike.
14
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Happy birthday to Debbie Gosecko of Boswell, Pennsylvania. To Mrs. Susie Witt and Mrs. Pearl Deberg who's 86 years of age. And then to Rust Haven in Duncanville, Pennsylvania.
15
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Bouncer hits down to second. Up comes Renny Stenick. So is one out.
16
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
We'll have a noisy, demonstrative crowd on hand. Now there's one other thing I want to tell you.
17
00:02:46,000 --> 00:03:10,000
If we are able to win tonight, we will have Nellie King's postgame show from here with a ball player. And then we will, as soon as we're able to, join John Fitzpatrick in the clubhouse for the celebration and words of wisdom that will drop from our great athletes as they walk around and struck in all their magnificent glory for having accomplished the volley of having won at a game five times in six years.
18
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Wouldn't they be well proud of that if they were to do it? And if they do, we'll be down there to share it with them. Boa, the shortstop at 3-0-7. Two homers, 35 runs batted in.
19
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Bouncing into the dirt, one ball, one strike. Bruce Kason's been a tough one in September. More than that though, in championship series he has yet to be scored on.
20
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Bouncing foul bounce back off the net here. A ball, two strikes. Happy birthday to Bob Monroeville. Bob Wobb Monroeville attending the game today. Happy birthday to the Tess McNamee.
21
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Those Imperials have shot in a great pirate fan. One ball, two strikes. To Boa, batting at 3-0-7. Two homers, 35 runs batted in.
22
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
First miss, 2-2. Kason thought he might have had it, apparently the way he looked.
23
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
And best wishes to Mrs. Anna Lips of Evansburg, Pennsylvania, shot in a great pirate fan.
24
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:30,000
2-2 to Boa. Bounced off the right side, speared by Kason. Throws him out. That's the base hitter. Bruce doesn't flag it down.
25
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Now the batter is going to be Jay Johnstone, batting at 3-35-7 homers, 52 runs batted in.
26
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Johnstone left hand batter up inside to him, Lysinski on deck batter. Ball one, two down, none on, no score.
27
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:29,000
The grizzle is stopped and the fans are still filing in. The pitch is a let up and it drops through for a call strike, 1-1.
28
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Missing outside, ball two, strike one. Don't forget now when you called John Cigna on a touch show tonight,
29
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
remember all Shane Deane tonight talked about was playing golf Friday and whether I could borrow a set of his clubs.
30
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:55,000
That's all it was about. That's in St. Louis, 2-1. High fly left field, deep, disc back, has room, he's under. That's it.
31
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Three up and three down. And we're going out at the bottom of the first inning, no score.
32
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Here's Reddy Stennett standing in now, Tom Underwood at 14-12, 2-89 batting average, 7 homers, 61 runs batted in.
33
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:59,000
And then best wishes along to Mrs. Raymond Corley on the half of the pass. And the family, West Virginia.
34
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Rennie Stennett at 2-89, Underwood the left hander. He's not an easy mark. High ball on. He was 12-1 at Vets Stadium when we last played him over there.
35
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,000
And we made him 12-2, but it took some doing and took us late in the game before we finally cracked through.
36
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:21,000
1-0 to count Stennett at 2-89. This one backed up and that fast ball found the inside corner.
37
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Send best wishes along to Rose Rubick in Braddock General Hospital. She's a great Pirate fan and now does one of our radio engineers, Jan Rubick.
38
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:46,000
And we wish Rose, Aunt Rose a speedy recovery. Two balls and a strike. Here's the 2-1 to Stennett.
39
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Bounced up there to the middle and a one-hand stab by Underwood. He throws him out to Richie Allen.
40
00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Defensively, the Phillies have Luzinski in left, Maddox in center, Johnstone in right, with Schmidt at third, Boat short, Cash at second, Allen at first, Underwood in notes.
41
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:10,000
The battery. It's all over everywhere but here.
42
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Oakland is down to one and they did not get it yesterday as Kansas City held them at bay. But Oakland, I think, plays or entertains Minnesota tonight, in Minnesota, whatever, in the next victory or loss.
43
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:31,000
And it's all over in the west for the American League. Bouncer, round one, hopping Underwood. He must have been quite a celebrity in some other sport.
44
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:39,000
He's all over that man like a jitterbug. He jumped up high at that time, sparing the ball and firing for the out here center fielder out over at 2-80.
45
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:54,000
17, Homer's 81 runs that in there.
46
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000
There's a strike to him.
47
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Mattie Luz set the major league record most at bats in 698. There's a bouncer to second and Cash throws him out. That's the man I was just about to talk to. Cash has a chance to establish that record and we'll tell you, tie it or break it.
48
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,000
We'll tell you about it when we come back. It's no score.
49
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:32,000
We're telling you about Dave Cash. He has an opportunity to set a major league record for the most at bats in a season, 698, held by Mattie Luz when he was with the Parks in 1969.
50
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:39,000
The American League record, Bobby Richardson, 692 at bats and 161 games for the 62 Yankees.
51
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Dave, by the way, Cash also has the longest consecutive game streak in the majors, 334 games, stretching back to 73.
52
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:58,000
And he's battling Rose and Garvey for the hit title in the National League. Rose has won the title five times. The National League record is 6 by Musial. Now, Cash is in with 101 hits.
53
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:05,000
As of right now, he has been to the plate 671 times. The record by Mattie Luz is 698.
54
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:17,000
We're not breaking it in this series, but if he gets up, say, four times tonight and tomorrow night, make a run at it before he's through. I'll tell you that.
55
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,000
All right. Here's Luzinski at 299, 34 home with 118 runs batted in.
56
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:35,000
He's just flung away around to the left in the outfield. Our infield overshipped it also. Fastball low into the third ball, one to him, no score.
57
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:45,000
At home, we've only beaten, that is, over there, we've only beaten the Phillies once. In nine meetings over there, we won one game. That's all.
58
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:58,000
We're up on them here. Four games to two. Foul back. They've handled us with great regularity. They just knocked us over for a loop.
59
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:06,000
And one thing they can do, even if we win the National League Eastern title, is to go to bed every night and say, well, when we play them, we won't ruin them.
60
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Then we can't do anything but say, you're right. Two balls and a strike. Bounce toward third. It'll hook out foul. Hevner over quickly.
61
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Two balls, two strikes.
62
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Stan Feingold, Dr. Feingold's son Stanley, enjoying his 21st birthday at the Allegheny Club tonight.
63
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:53,000
There's a delayed call, three and two, so happy birthday to Stan Feingold. Another one of the brilliant Feingolds in the family.
64
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:12,000
We tap it to the mound, off his foot, foul ball.
65
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:23,000
OK, Luzinski is all set. Ball free, strike two to Greg. Keeson working here, the game is scoreless. 25 minutes away reigns.
66
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Bruce has the sign from Sankey and the pitch. Hard wrap, base hit through the left side of the diamond. Luzinski bore into it quickly and wrapped it through to left field.
67
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:52,000
That'll bring up left right hand batter Richie Allen, sleepy at 232, 12 homers, 59 runs battered here. Richie Allen.
68
00:12:52,000 --> 00:13:00,000
I think Mother Allen is down here tonight. I'm sure she is.
69
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Poland Volunteer Fire Department of Poland and Ohio here. There's a smack. Keeson knocks it down, they go one, they go the first, no.
70
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Boy, that was a ripper. So they get a 1-6 on Luzinski. Allen first, no chance of nailing him.
71
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Many U.S. Steel employees completely volunteer for that Poland Volunteer Fire Department. Some 30 members here have taken in the game.
72
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Hopeful of seeing the Buccos clinch. Another National League Eastern title.
73
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
And if they do, you can be coming on to take a look at the games. Games one and two are out there. Games three, four and five are here.
74
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Games three and four are at night. Game five if necessary in the afternoon.
75
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:58,000
There are plenty of seats available and you can get them through Ticketron, G.C. Murphy store out here.
76
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
You can buy all the reserve seats and general emissions you want.
77
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Down low to Mike Schmidt at 255, 38 homers. He leads the league in homers, 95 runs battered in.
78
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:23,000
One ball and no strikes.
79
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:39,000
And that's swing one and one.
80
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:45,000
The Buccos won the East in 70, 71, 72, 74.
81
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Check swing, bounce off first, might have broken his back.
82
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:58,000
In 1970, we had to go out West.
83
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:10,000
I take that back. 69, the team that opens up the season in the National League Championship Series has never won.
84
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
The team that entertains for the first two games has never won the National League Championship.
85
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000
In 69, the Mets went down to Atlanta where they had the first two games and good night.
86
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,000
They saw you later. In 70, we had it against the Reds and they beat us.
87
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000
In 71, San Francisco had it out there and we beat them.
88
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
In 72, we had it here against the Reds and they beat us.
89
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000
In 73, New York had it, Cincinnati had it and New York beat them.
90
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Foul back. And in 74, we had it here against the Dodgers and they beat us.
91
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:47,000
This year, we're going to play the Reds and we've got to go out there and beat them unless Prince's Hidden Vigorous jumps in there somewhere.
92
00:15:47,000 --> 00:16:05,000
I would hate like heck to think my Hidden Vigorous should move a thing like that.
93
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:13,000
I think in division play, the team that wins the first game is the one that's got the biggest edge, the bigger edge, in my feeling.
94
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,000
In three out of five, I think, gives you an edge. Starting to drizzle again.
95
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Mike Schmidt at 255 and a strike three blew it through him. He was cock looking.
96
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
That'll bring up Maddox, the center fielder.
97
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Now, Gary Maddox got hit. He's been hit about four times in the last, in the space of about a week or ten days.
98
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
And he's got a bad right thumb and it's hard for him to grip a bat.
99
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:53,000
He's got something. He has some kind of ball for it, that young man.
100
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Mike Schmidt just put 170 on the books for strikeouts, which he doesn't like, but he sure does have a lot of home runs.
101
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:05,000
He ground balled a short to fair us up. He'll go to first in a hurry and he gets Maddox.
102
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
So we go to the bottom of the second and there is no score.
103
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:22,000
All right, here's Willie the Star standing in now.
104
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,000
In field shift is on, Star goes to 295. Takes a strike under with a left hander.
105
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Willie, 22 homers, 88 runs batted in.
106
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
They stop the shift. They bring Boa over on the shortstop side.
107
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Willie takes high.
108
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Mike Schmidt is off the line about 30 feet deep at third.
109
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Boa is just to the left of second as I view him.
110
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
One-one pitch, ball outside.
111
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Cash deep, back toward the outfield side.
112
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Richie Allen very deep on the line at first.
113
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,000
The outfield pinching in on each other, giving him the lines.
114
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Now back.
115
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Luzinski is giving Stodgel a lot of the left field line and right fielder Johnstone doing likewise on that side
116
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000
so that there's very little gap in right center, left center.
117
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Bobby Bonds of the Giants in 1969 had 187 and Bonds in 70 had 189 strikeouts.
118
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Now, 170 strikeouts for Schmidt so I don't think he can catch him.
119
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
I hope for Mike's sake that he doesn't.
120
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Wave into the bush is here.
121
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Three balls, two strikes to Stodgel. No score.
122
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Second inning and here's Underwood's delivery.
123
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,000
He walks him with a curve away.
124
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Feeling the breaking ball outside.
125
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
That'll bring up Richie Zisk at 287.
126
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,000
20 homers, 71 runs batted in.
127
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Boston playing the Yankees and there is no score there as yet.
128
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
The big one is right here.
129
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Everything's one left in the outfield now to Richie Zisk.
130
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000
And he hits a pop-up and it'll be Cash going back for it.
131
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Running hard Johnstone but Cash is under.
132
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
He's there and there's one out.
133
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000
That'll bring up Parker, the right fielder, at 308.
134
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000
24 homers, 97 runs batted in.
135
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:41,000
The Cobras standing in. Let's see how they'll play him in the outfield now.
136
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
They're going to swing the outfield left.
137
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
They'll gap him in right center.
138
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
The right fielder Johnstone has pulled over to his own left.
139
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
There's a big gap.
140
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000
He plays the line more.
141
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
And meanwhile, Maddux with his speed is over in left center.
142
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
So he can pull if he has to.
143
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Parker slams foul down the left line. Just misses.
144
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000
One thing I remember over in Philadelphia, he hit what would have been a triple.
145
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Yes, missed being a triple.
146
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
But then late in the game against Underwood, he hit a sucker in the gap in left center.
147
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
And I see now that Maddux has closed that up a bit.
148
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Nellie Husting in would remember very well the defensive alignment of the outfield.
149
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Foul away and he got an inside pitch, tried to yank it off the right side.
150
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Couldn't get it there. Strike two. No balls, two strikes.
151
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Continuing the drizzle here and I think we'll play this game in the next downfall.
152
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
No score, one out and one on.
153
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
It's Dodger that's first in the walk.
154
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,000
We are in the second inning.
155
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000
The game delayed 25 minutes to begin with.
156
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Now they into the pitch.
157
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
He weakly hits one up toward second.
158
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Cash charges.
159
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000
He has one play only just in time to get him with Richie Allen making the put out.
160
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
That'll put Ziskin at the side of the second and bring up Hevner at 247.
161
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:09,000
15 homers, 54 runs batted in.
162
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Lots of reindeer here tonight.
163
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Not reindeer, the reindeer.
164
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Yellow jackets, red jackets, umbrellas.
165
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Golf equipment.
166
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
There's a bouncer to the left side.
167
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,000
They said Dodgers around third.
168
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Here comes the throw by Lisinski.
169
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Cut off.
170
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Hevner's the second.
171
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,000
He's out.
172
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
He didn't slide.
173
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:58,000
We get a run, however.
174
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Hevner single to dow the left center.
175
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
He's over in Stajl with a run.
176
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Hevner trying to go to second.
177
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
The throw came from Rosinski.
178
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Cut off by Mike Schmidt and thrown up to Dave Cash.
179
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
And because he didn't slide, he was out.
180
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
And they put the ball on him.
181
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
And that retires the side.
182
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
We get a run, though.
183
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
And at the end of two lead, one to nothing.
184
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Let me just recap for a moment.
185
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Hevner's ball in the left field was hit around the shop.
186
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,000
And when they saw that Schmidt saw that there was no way they were going to get to Stajl,
187
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
he cut it off and fired it up to Cash.
188
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Hevner's sliding's only chance is to slide.
189
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000
I'm not going to say that he would have been out or safe even with the slide.
190
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:47,000
But in running straight up, he was there where they presented an awful lot of target for Cash to put the ball to.
191
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,000
So anyhow, it's over.
192
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000
We got a run in for Richie.
193
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000
And the Bucks lead one to nothing.
194
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Here's Oates at 281.
195
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Foul back.
196
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:01,000
But again, I can't say the slide would or would not have brought him in there.
197
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Ball one and strike one here, though.
198
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Oh, that ball's hit awful deep to left field.
199
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
But this has room.
200
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,000
He's there on the track and is one out.
201
00:23:35,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Pikes lead one nothing.
202
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Tommy Underwood.
203
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Pikes leading one to nothing here in the third inning, one out and then on.
204
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Pitch to him from McKeeson up high, ball one.
205
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Pirates on top, one nothing as we bat here, and they bat in the third.
206
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Raining down, but not that hard, through for the strike.
207
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
We'll finish this game one way or another.
208
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,000
If we are fortunate to win tonight, the Pirates will have Nellie's post-game show afterwards to do an interview there.
209
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Now, hustle down to get into the locker room with John Fitzpatrick, who will be aboard to carry the interview there for as long as was reasonable with Danny Mertzau and the Pirate players and all as to how they feel about things and, naturally, the obvious questions that we'll ask about their playing since now.
210
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
You wouldn't dare ask them now too much about it until they clinch it.
211
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Two balls, two strikes, and they haven't clinched it yet.
212
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,000
And you never get one of these Philadelphia players, any part of them, to admit this is over.
213
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
They're still breathing, my friends.
214
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Check, swing, foul.
215
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:13,000
And as long as you're breathing, you've got a chance.
216
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Two and two.
217
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Punched a foul down the right line.
218
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:37,000
And Wendel was a pretty good hitter.
219
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Two and two pitch. There's a ball drilled toward right pocket right there, comes on out, the ball sinks on him, but he grabs it about knee-high.
220
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
And catch.
221
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:58,000
The second baseman standing in has been to play now 671 times.
222
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
This is number 672.
223
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000
World record, 698-90 a loop.
224
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Number of times at bat. Physically at bat now is one thing.
225
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,000
A time at bat is another, and we're talking about times at bat.
226
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:21,000
It's starting to rain a little harder, and the fans are staying right in here though, one ball and no strikes.
227
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:31,000
You ever stop to think how many times the day Bruce physically went to the plate the year he drew over near the high fly left center, Oliver drifting back, looking up through the raindrops.
228
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Got it.
229
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:45,000
We go, I was just going to say, every stop to think how many times Beirut must have gone to the plate the year he hit 60 and drew over 150 some odd walks.
230
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Unbelievable.
231
00:26:46,000 --> 00:27:02,000
So we go to the bottom of the third, and it's to one and nothing Pittsburgh.
232
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
That's a game for the Pirates, playing shortstop.
233
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Number 10, Frank Tiberius.
234
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Well, the Spiders standing in there, Frank Tiberius.
235
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Montreal leading the Cardinals 4-3 at the end of eight innings.
236
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Tiberius batting a 2-20, Underwood's delivery backs up but not enough.
237
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Cardinals have tied him up 4-4 in the first of a doubleheader at Montreal, and they got Roboski in again.
238
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,000
This is when it's tough for the Cardinals to play baseball, let me tell you, or anybody.
239
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Two balls, no strikes.
240
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:51,000
But this is when your pride brings you along.
241
00:27:51,000 --> 00:28:03,000
Two and one, Lane continues to drop.
242
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Fly ball left field, back over the head of the Lazinski going back, and he gets the ball at the wall, it's the farthest I've ever seen Tiberius hit a ball.
243
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
That's a home run in Wrigley Field, Nelly.
244
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Just a mad hero, buddy.
245
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:25,000
He took him to the wall on the boards, that's got to be the longest he's ever, the Spiders, every jerk one.
246
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,000
One out.
247
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Right to the wall he took the ball.
248
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Now Keesom standing in.
249
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Keesom waiting, delivered by Underwood for a strike.
250
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Thurman Menson hit his number 12 in the home run department with one on in the first inning in the Yankee Red Sox game.
251
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:11,000
It's Rick Wise and Weed Reapers in New York, whoever that guy is, two-nothing, first inning Yankees.
252
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000
And there is five, their magic number for the Red Sox, five.
253
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:20,000
They got a pitcher I never heard of, he brought him up, went by Heaven's base there.
254
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Fly ball right field by Stenett, drifting over Johnstone, gets the ball, Keesom holding two down, batter Bissang Gain, Pirates lead one-nothing.
255
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,000
We are in the third.
256
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Red Sox got a tough break in that they've lost Jim Rice, one of their two sensational rookies.
257
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:05,000
He, along with Lynn, they're both knocking over 100 runs, and he suffered a fracture of the fourth metacarpal bone in his left hand,
258
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,000
and he's out for the season as well as any playoffs or World Series games, if they get in.
259
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
He's out for it.
260
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:19,000
High. They're in a very good mathematical position, three and a half game lead over Baltimore with seven games to play,
261
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,000
but the Orioles have been playing like gangbusters, I'll tell you that.
262
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:37,000
And right now, Red Sox are losing high, the Sankey ball too.
263
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Ball two, no strikes, Keesom at first, Sankey away, Sundaywood six, strike.
264
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Sankey bounced out on a comeback to the mound.
265
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Don't think he liked the last call. He's talking a bit as though it might have been just a bit inside.
266
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:58,000
He drew a line with his bat, telling Billy he thought the ball was in that far.
267
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Ball two, strike one.
268
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Foul back. Ooh, he's mad now.
269
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:14,000
And right up into the, where Mr. McCoy is, I guess, Mr. John Galbra.
270
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Mr. Galbra's got a baseball, a hard way.
271
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Gee, all he'd have to do is go after one. I think Danny Murtaugh would give it to him.
272
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000
I'm almost convinced he would.
273
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Ball two, strike two.
274
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Lettup popped up, shallow right, back cash hard, back cash.
275
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Now Johnstone calls him on.
276
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,000
He's down on the third, leaving Keesom at first after the base hit.
277
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000
At the end of three, Bucks on top, one nothing.
278
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
I might get all I could.
279
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Well, I can, because I think Cincinnati would be burning over here knowing those two games are night games.
280
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Ball three here, the ball. Look out if he gets a board.
281
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
He does get a board, and he can steal bases.
282
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:03,000
And so this now takes away to, that's the first walk.
283
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:10,000
This takes away, for the moment anyhow, any change-up pitches that Keesom might want to throw to Johnstone.
284
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:23,000
He wouldn't dare throw that flap pitch up there for fear that on that pitch, cash might be going.
285
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:30,000
So, did I say cash? I should say ball.
286
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Boa has stolen 24 bases.
287
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000
He's been caught six times. Johnstone the batter.
288
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Now let's watch. Steigl holding Boa.
289
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Not running, pitches a strike.
290
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Well, let's see too. The sliding pit area is a little muggy.
291
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Just a little bit of a slop due to the constant rain.
292
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000
That doesn't bother some running a ball or anybody else.
293
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Takes the run, takes high, Johnstone ball, and it brought Sange around ready to throw.
294
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Ball one, strike one.
295
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
It also cuts down a little bit on the fake of the runner.
296
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,000
The good guy, the threat to steal, will go out like he's going to steal and stop or keep going.
297
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
So that you never know what he is doing.
298
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Throw the first and back safely, Boa.
299
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Score one nothing, Pittsburgh, four pinning. Rain delayed 25 minutes.
300
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Still raining now, but we're playing.
301
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
But look the first, there goes Boa's fake and there's a ball hit the left.
302
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Up in the air, it's going back, back, back.
303
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Back in time to get it.
304
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,000
He started up just as much and turned left and in a lord straight back and hauled it in.
305
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,000
What a way. Long drive left twice now.
306
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Johnstone's hit deep. Here's Lozenki who ripped single shot lead to left field on a three-foot pitch in the second.
307
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Red Sox to Yankees.
308
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Ballpark, which now of course is Shea Stadium.
309
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Yankees lead there 2-1 now as Red Sox got a run. Rick Wise and that one.
310
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Bottom of the second, Yankees leading 2-1 home run Munson.
311
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:09,000
All right, Lozenki with one on, one nothing, Pittsburgh, fourth inning.
312
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Very evening, no doubt about that.
313
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,000
He turned into an evening of delirious joy.
314
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Yankees called. If the Bucks can do it, if they can, we'll have Nellie King's postgame show.
315
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,000
By that time, John Fitzpatrick will get down there and we'll go into the locker room and talk for a while.
316
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:40,000
So don't leave your network station wherever you're listening.
317
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Yankees called.
318
00:34:45,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Yankees won the game in 1970 on the 27th of September against New York when Doc Ellis beat McAndrew in game number 159 and we were then what, 87-72.
319
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Ball out center.
320
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Ball one, strike two to Lozenki. They're going this time. The ball is fouled back and thank goodness it was because he had second base stolen.
321
00:35:41,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Pirates in 1971 clinched at St. Louis on the 22nd of September with the clock being Bob Gibson in game number 156 and that gave us a mark of 94-62 when we clinched.
322
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Lozenki fouls outside the right line and up in the seat.
323
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Another foul and he was running.
324
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:09,000
The other member last year is wild finish in game number 162, final game of the season, 11 innings.
325
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:15,000
The Cubs hit Bobby Robertson in the back of the coconut and we went on to take it.
326
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,000
One ball, two strikes to Lozenki.
327
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:24,000
And Boa on first base. He holds this time. Ball outside, two and two.
328
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:39,000
In 1970 we clinched 159th game in 71 and 156th game, 144th game in 1972, 162nd game in the last game of the season.
329
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Hard left side gets by Hebbner.
330
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:56,000
He said a little. But let me tell you, we've got much fun out there.
331
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Here's Allen. That's the second hit and both of them by Lozenki. Both of them by third.
332
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Allen bounced into a force in the second.
333
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:24,000
We're in a little trouble here. We've got to get a Hoover.
334
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:32,000
If you get a Hoover on Richie Allen, you've done something. There's a bounce to the short. The bear stumbles, drops the ball, throws it to first and no, doesn't get anybody.
335
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
We lose a double play ball.
336
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Let's see how they rule. Double? He had it.
337
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:47,000
That was well spanked on one hop. If he comes up with it, he's close to center.
338
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:55,000
I can't be sure whether he tried to get into second by himself and throw the first or just control the ball or throw it too quickly. I don't know.
339
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Somewhere in there, he lost his opportunity to get anybody.
340
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:08,000
It did appear that with the slow track and the way the ball was hit sharply, if he's up there, he's got all the time in the world to get Lozenki because he's slow.
341
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:18,000
But you turn it over fast to get out. Even if you don't get him, you've got two out with runners on the corners now. We've got everybody on there.
342
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:26,000
That error, charged to him, brings up Mike Schmidt, but the bases loaded. Mike stuck out in the second inning. One to nothing, Pittsburgh.
343
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Now they need a double play. They're back for it.
344
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Ball outside. Kieson's slip. That time's coming off the mound.
345
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Here's one of the tough things. Rooker, in a situation like this, having to pick with the bad weather, streamed and pulled the joint muscle.
346
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:50,000
It's one of the tough things about the only thing that many argue about with division play in this situation here.
347
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:59,000
This is the last time the Phillies are in town. They're going to try to make the play the game if they can, and either side could lose a player as a result of this situation.
348
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Bouncing foul, the third. Now we have John Candelari just loosening. That's all he's doing is loosening. But Kemp's occult is loosening, and he's in earnest.
349
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Next Thursday night, it's a big one, the Art Grooney Testimonial. It's a big one, and they've got Franco Harris and Rocky Blyer and many others coming in. There's Eminence Archbishop Fulton and Jay Sheen.
350
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Curve of Beauty, strike two. That's at the William & Hemp Hotel. Next Thursday night, benefiting the Catholic Youth Association, Tommy Foster saying things are moving along very, very well.
351
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Still some seats available at $25, and it's a great charity. And here's Eminence Fink, and I'm believing he has worth every penny of that and more.
352
00:40:52,000 --> 00:41:21,000
One and two. Bounce toward third, heaven it up. There it is. The spinner throws high, throws the first. Double play!
353
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:32,000
I want to tell you one thing. That high throw had Stenitz sitting up there like a flag pigeon for Richie Allen coming in, and Richie was really boiling in there.
354
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:53,000
But Renny got it out of there just in time and got it over for the double play. Five, four, three, and old brother. And out of it without a score. And at the bottom of the fourth, still leading one to nothing.
355
00:41:53,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Al Oliver standing in now. That was a very, very big double play in the fourth inning here, I'll tell you that. Put a red circle around it.
356
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Ball one down. Bind drive, left center, it's in the gap. We got a better on the rug for Al.
357
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Wicked smash to the left side. Two base hit. And a double for Scoop C. Oliver.
358
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:52,000
It's in both they wish it along to Ed Gorgas with Warren Pennsylvania and also Jack Patterson. Now here's Willie the Star standing in.
359
00:42:52,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Stajil Watson scored in the second inning. Time called his underwear, cleans off his tweets. That double was the third hit. And boy, it was a wicked smash by Al Oliver who's got some record going on doubles.
360
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Oliver hit his thirty ninth double of the year. Stajil's lines left field, base hit. Here comes Oliver around third. They're waving him home. He'll score.
361
00:43:40,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Charge of the light brigade. That's 121 year old bugle is running at all. Hang on.
362
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:13,000
You'll hear it from Cincinnati. I'll tell you that. I got a coach. We go over there. I guarantee you'll hear.
363
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:23,000
I've arranged for that. Well, I got to say this. I have the arrangements made. We got to score enough runs to let you hear it. Just about it.
364
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Now we lead to the nothing on that single by Stajil is eighty nine run bad again. And let me see who's warming up.
365
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Thirty seven forty three. Thirty seven is Schuyler and forty three is Joe Horn. Schuyler right hander, Joe Horn to the left hander. Two balls and no strike.
366
00:44:53,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Which is upstairs. Ball two and strike one. Here's a look and the two one fit. There's a ball hit deep to center right at Maddox.
367
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Going back, going back. He can't hold it. On his way to third. He'll start. And here comes the throw. Not in time.
368
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Buskers are going wild. They have a rule that double this straight away and that Maddox can't hold it. I got to call it a double.
369
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Seventy two runs bad at and Stajil scoring all the way. And here's the Cobra.
370
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:12,000
And going out is Ray Ripple my top things over.
371
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Oliver double Stajil single just double and the Pirates quickly now lead through to nothing and Ray Ripple my talking here to tell me and do it with nobody out as the bucks driving here they're going to stay with under what I guess is they got a bunch of a busker waivers around here.
372
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:43,000
I'm beginning to believe the busker power is all important. I'm beginning to believe I know it.
373
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Anytime you get a lot of ladies mixed up in the town you the way they can show you how to do it. I want to tell you.
374
00:46:51,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Ladies I quickly for the big bad buckos to do it all. Bounced out the second high ball on one of the things the busker power has done for the ladies with no doubt about it has tremendously enthusiastically been greeted by the ball players but one important all the other fans all over the nation.
375
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:21,000
They've heard the enthusiasm of what's going on. The pitch.
376
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:34,000
It was on the Kings postgame show went on to point out that there's no question in his mind that it's added at least a hundred and hundred and some thousand people to the part just coming out the way the buskers and route like the Dickens for their back.
377
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,000
One ball one strike.
378
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Nobody out to him.
379
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,000
That's not the right side gets by cash for a base hit.
380
00:47:43,000 --> 00:48:12,000
This is coming up.
381
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:17,000
The ladies down here waving their buskers and comes Danny Ozark.
382
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:25,000
And this is a move that I know he's going to make. It would bother him tremendously.
383
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:34,000
It would bother him tremendously to make this move in Philadelphia and I am I heart with a crime and it does.
384
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Danny Ozark's friend and fan for a long time and I want to win. He knows that that's the name of this game but I don't like the way he's been treated.
385
00:48:44,000 --> 00:49:06,000
I cannot abide the way in which they have repeated in his hometown. They have really ripped it.
386
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:14,000
Well he's coming out there. They're bringing in Ron. I think it's the last time we're over in Philadelphia. I made a horrible mistake.
387
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,000
I had the wrong guy.
388
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,000
I went through and I told him about it. He fell over.
389
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:40,000
I'm under with Lee and this is Ron Schubert.
390
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:53,000
So you do a little thinking I'll be right back right after this.
391
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Well while we have a moment here why don't we take 20 seconds for our local stations.
392
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:07,000
If you're expecting a baby the Pittsburgh organization for childbirth education wants to help make your pregnancy delivery and parenthood easy.
393
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Find a small childbirth education group and learn the joys of welcoming a new member to your family for more information call post at 2 2 1 3 0 6 6.
394
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:47,000
All right.
395
00:50:47,000 --> 00:51:08,000
I'm going to go back to the batter. I'd say everybody laughing at me here. Dr. Just gave me an inoculation. Oh that hurts.
396
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:18,000
I like to think it had been better if I had got what's going on.
397
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:23,000
I'm not getting out there against them. I went out. That's right. I just got a shot and not a drink.
398
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:30,000
I shot with a syringe no ball to strike the pitch.
399
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:51,000
I got the first foul now under what it went three innings nobody out here in the fourth one two three four five six base hits against Tom center by Tom he walked one.
400
00:51:51,000 --> 00:52:01,000
I don't strike anybody out.
401
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:11,000
We could hit up the right side comes out when he throws the ball sharply the second and they get the man there and not in time to get hit.
402
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:16,000
It's a three six play on Parker.
403
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:21,000
I'm going to get up to that.
404
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,000
I was a first for everything in there folks.
405
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:29,000
You never thought your answer would leave a game and get an inoculation would you.
406
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,000
What it did.
407
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:37,000
People here in the box are a little shocked. They never thought that it happened.
408
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:42,000
They had to look at it. You know you sit up here you see anything.
409
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,000
You're risky around when you come in in my booth.
410
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:57,000
The best second we go for station identification I'll get in the morning.
411
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,000
A little cold.
412
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Here's a look.
413
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,000
So not the amount of weight and broke right in for a strike.
414
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:33,000
I believe it while he's out and will take 10 per station identification a pirate baseball network.
415
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:37,000
He wanted to run inside that come up there with that syringe.
416
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Need to look like six inches long hanging there that it was for me not to be here.
417
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:47,000
You're allergic to the silver.
418
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
One ball two strikes.
419
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000
That's a reading here.
420
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Or nothing.
421
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:59,000
You know we're in the fourth inning.
422
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,000
The ball is in the third inning.
423
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:15,000
That's a very bad hop and hit him but he held on to it to make the play on having.
424
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:23,000
Richie courses you know doesn't get a very big lead off the base so plays like that are easy to convert at second base.
425
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:29,000
A little bit faster or a little bigger lead is going to be costly now.
426
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,000
He's singled out the middle but Richie knows it.
427
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:40,000
He'd be the first to tell you for some unknown reason you just can't get a bigger lead than that Yankees are leading Red Sox to do and the three and a half swing back.
428
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,000
He said look like he wanted to go out that right side.
429
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Couldn't do it.
430
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Munson hit a home run in that game.
431
00:54:45,000 --> 00:55:14,000
The Cardinals are in the 11th inning of the first game for the four at Montreal no balls one strike three runs are in run it first to best like to.
432
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,000
Oh my.
433
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:20,000
A ball goes all the way to the backstop and coming over the third base.
434
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,000
This is the best that he's done a while like he wants to come home.
435
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:29,000
It didn't call time and the coach the catcher just stood there at home plate and didn't do anything on the pitch.
436
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,000
He was a wild pitch out comes Ozark.
437
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,000
I don't know what he's going to talk about.
438
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Nobody called time.
439
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:41,000
The ball was thrown way inside like it was thrown to Keeson and he got the way from him and came all the way to the backstop.
440
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:52,000
And it didn't go after the ball and up the second went to the bathroom when he saw that those were standing and went over the third.
441
00:55:52,000 --> 00:56:00,000
So it's a.
442
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Two base while pitch I guess.
443
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:18,000
Then a pitch from the stretch the delivery curveball stuck him out swinging three runs on four hits no errors and one left and at the end for a bucks lead for nothing.
444
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Say when you need a break job make sure you get new break shoes too.
445
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,000
How do you do that.
446
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Well just ask for Delco break because the Delco break you always get new shoes as well as new linings.
447
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:37,000
And this is very important because Delco break shoes are properly shaped and finished at the factory and they've been treated with rust inhibitor.
448
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Now that's not all the landing on Delco break shoes also has crowned ground finish.
449
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:49,000
This special finishing process makes the break in for it easier for you because it lets the lining shape itself quickly to the drum.
450
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:54,000
And they're designed to prevent pulling to the right or the left during breaking.
451
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:59,000
So if you're in a car right now and those brakes don't feel just right.
452
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:05,000
So you're a Delco retailer about the full line of quality Delco break.
453
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:31,000
Delco break shoes are distributed by Homestead Automotive Supply 846 Forrest Avenue in West Homestead Valley Auto Parts Company 329 Airbrake Avenue in Wilmerding and Penn Hills Auto Parts 119 Penal Drive in Penn Hills.
454
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Well that fourth inning productive one Oliver double Stoggle single him home.
455
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:53,000
This kid a ball deep to center over the head of Maddox he got a glove on it bounced off the wall couldn't hold the ball double run batted in Parker single right on the driver driving in a run 98 runs batted in Parker 72 runs batted in this 89 runs batted in Stoggle.
456
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Then that concluded that part of the story. So the parks now have four runs and under what is in with three innings for four runs six hits no strikeouts in the walk.
457
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:15,000
And for the moment is the picture of record Ron Schuller is born for on the year.
458
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:26,000
Here's the man that's come in there stop it and we go now to the fifth inning where the game hangs in the balance from the standpoint of being a legally played game.
459
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Here will be Maddox and oats and then there's action again in the bullpen for the fellows.
460
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:41,000
It is Wayne Simpson former part former red.
461
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:49,000
Ball inside to Maddox and he has pointed a finger at Jason as though he has challenged him.
462
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,000
And Jason just looked at him and there's an ill feeling here.
463
00:58:52,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Apparently Maddox who has been hit and thrown at several times and been hit about three or four different times is being talked to now by Billy Williams.
464
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:11,000
Maddox was hit by a fork and he was hit three or four different times in the last five or six games. And I know he feels pretty tough.
465
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:22,000
Now he may feel that the pitch to Jason by Schuller way inside was something that he was being accused of being retaliatory.
466
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:31,000
And he put a finger out to warn Jason he did not like that as a strike for the outside corner.
467
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:38,000
I have to say this I'm not saying that Jason threw tight to him or tried to hit him but I don't blame Maddox for being a bit edgy.
468
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:43,000
I really don't ladies and gentlemen this young man has been hitting the ribs been hitting the thumb.
469
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:48,000
He's been hit about three or four different times and all in the space of a week and the last one put him out of action for quite a while.
470
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:52,000
He had to believe they were after him a little bit.
471
00:59:52,000 --> 01:00:01,000
I don't think however that Bruce threw at I really don't. I just thought he pitched him tight in any event.
472
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:09,000
Gary felt otherwise and that's the way I reported as Johnny Oates stands in now he find the left field.
473
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:15,000
That's a leading forward and nothing. This would be no time in the world to wake up the Phillies by throwing at it.
474
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:25,000
It'd be the last reason I think there's no reason in the world for Jason to be coming close to a Philly hitter on purpose.
475
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:33,000
You want to wake him up. What I mean by waking them up I mean give them any more reason to beat him than they already got.
476
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:37,000
One ball no strikes. Remember too we got two more games with him.
477
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:43,000
You get a mad enough they got a couple of flamethrowers that can drill you.
478
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,000
But you're starved about actions. You got to rethink all these things.
479
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:53,000
And I'm sure Bruce is thinking of all those things.
480
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:58,000
You don't think that guy Carlton can't find who we're going to look at him for that week.
481
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Now I'm no little dribbler off third by it's going to be a base hit.
482
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:08,000
He'll score a maddox easily I think. No they're not going to let him run.
483
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Well they get a little bloop down the left line. There's enough of us hit by oats to make you rich.
484
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,000
One of the weakest looking doubles you've ever seen. You didn't mean to hit it.
485
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:22,000
It just bloops and went in there. So Maddox goes to third.
486
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Oaks goes to second and here come the Phillies now with nobody out and they're going to have a batter.
487
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:33,000
Tim McCarver is going to bat in place of Ron Schuyler.
488
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:50,000
Now it's cancer call to get another game. That's the third hit.
489
01:01:50,000 --> 01:02:02,000
We've got Wayne Simpson as I told you loosening the right hander down the line.
490
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:10,000
We've got ourselves pretty good game going here haven't we.
491
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:17,000
It's far up a moment. Here's a guy that down through the seasons against eyeball club's been a very very tough pinch batter.
492
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:24,000
Tim McCarver swing foul back Tim batting 246 one home or six runs batted in.
493
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Candelaria is joining Kent the Colby in the bullpen.
494
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:36,000
Now Candelaria was up before and I thought that perhaps he was going to be a pitcher getting ready to start.
495
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Now I think he's firing in earnest to come in and be in relief if needed.
496
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:50,000
No balls in the strike the left hand batting Tim McCarver steps out just as he can go to deliver.
497
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:54,000
That's one thing that the umpires allow them to do no matter what.
498
01:02:54,000 --> 01:03:03,000
That are stepped out they just call time. You're not supposed to be able to do that very frankly.
499
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:14,000
Once the pitcher started his motion.
500
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:20,000
No balls one strike. This is high one and one.
501
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Gary Maddux drew a walk.
502
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:28,000
Oates hit a punching checkoff swing type of thing.
503
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:33,000
A weakest looking swing you'd ever see and he got a little looping double down the left line.
504
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:42,000
That was two times there's McCarver's swing.
505
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:51,000
So when you see those little things like that we've seen them in our own ball club had that happened.
506
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Good to see a mid and Tommy Thompson out here for the kill.
507
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:04,000
What they hope will be the finale a ball one strike two count.
508
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Pack a Palmer lunch and come on out here and enjoy the ranch.
509
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Here's the one to bounce down the first base style has him on a system that will not get a run.
510
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Maddux scores holding at second base is out.
511
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,000
What for.
512
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:32,000
I guess he felt that he wasn't fast enough to get over the third without style stepping on first and firing a strike the third and get it.
513
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:39,000
And in this situation with a score of four to one and one out.
514
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Not a bad.
515
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,000
Not a bad maneuver by Johnny.
516
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:56,000
So the room is driven in and a ball punched up toward short.
517
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:05,000
So that's so that catch oats has to hold a second.
518
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:10,000
Played tennis tonight thirteen thousand one hundred and seventy six.
519
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:18,000
Don't forget we play on again tomorrow night and the night after and we go away for three days and come back for a week practice.
520
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:23,000
It'll be interesting to find out what Danny Murtagh intends to do once we've clinched.
521
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:34,000
Be it tonight tomorrow whenever for that week of inactivity that is from baseball.
522
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:38,000
Boa went out on the comeback of the man drew a war.
523
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:45,000
Pirate's League for one we're in the top half of the fifth inning.
524
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Well reaching for one hit that's weekly up the short to various charges.
525
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:56,000
They get a run on one hit.
526
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Stand a runner and the four and a half bucks lead for one.
527
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,000
There's a young man on the hill now Wayne Simpson.
528
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,000
He's a.
529
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:16,000
We used to have him.
530
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,000
He was with Cincinnati.
531
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:23,000
He's probably been battling hard for his comeback.
532
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,000
And he's on.
533
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,000
Send our best wishes along today.
534
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:56,000
Bregan said he's got his daughters here watching the game and reading.
535
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:18,000
I.
536
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Excuse me I was just arranging here with John Fitzpatrick.
537
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:35,000
I'm going to go ahead and get a little bit of a look at what we're doing here because Johnny if we win this I'm going to hold up here and hopefully I'll have Bruce Keaton on for Nelly King's postgame show and John will be down in the locker room.
538
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:44,000
Oh there's a pitch from Simpson inside the Senate knocking back out the plate and we're having a little thing going on here.
539
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:48,000
One ball no strikes to many.
540
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:53,000
And the umpire's opinion that's when they're going to step in here and say time.
541
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:59,000
But first we got to win this thing and we haven't won it by any stretch of the imagination to know.
542
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Outside ball free if we are fortunate to beat the Phillies tonight and clinch it.
543
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:13,000
I will have Nelly King's postgame show immediately following and I'll hopefully be able to interview Bruce Keaton to talk to him.
544
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Then I'll swing the microphone down to the dugout or into our locker room where John Fitzpatrick.
545
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:40,000
After we do our proper commercial breaks and all we'll then we'll come back here and go right down to the locker room where John Fitzpatrick will be talking and I'll hurry on down and join him and we will then chat with Danny Wirtzow and the players and all on the different things so that we can give you all of that.
546
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:47,000
And radio it should be down there to help produce it for us and Bill Richard will handle it up here with Shadam attacking San Giann over to the batter.
547
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,000
Simpson delivers we take off with Senate.
548
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Balls hit the third they only have the one play it's first base one out five four five to three on San Giann.
549
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Senate in the second and molested.
550
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:13,000
Cardinals Ted Simmons hit his 17th home of the year and the 12th inning went on to make it six four cardinals still batting in the 12th inning of game number one with Montreal.
551
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:29,000
The fight there and here now is after if we're able to win is for second place money and it's not anything that which you'd see.
552
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,000
Oliver bounce the second double score to run.
553
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:39,000
Simpson's curve is through there for a strike.
554
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:43,000
Repeat again if you're just tuning in because you could have been in here late.
555
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,000
My partner Nellie King is bedded with a virus of some sort.
556
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,000
It's got him in bed with a high tension a rough throat.
557
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,000
So we're going to have him.
558
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:57,000
So he can't be with us particularly if we're able to clinch it tonight because I know how much he would enjoy it.
559
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:02,000
The thing in there now they get well partner because we're going to have to go at those Cincinnati Reds together.
560
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:13,000
We're going to need all we can do to nail them one ball one strike strike a good change up.
561
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:25,000
I'm looking for a sheet that tells me.
562
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Good.
563
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:37,000
You know that I don't have a record.
564
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:41,000
Trying to find the standings of the national the American League race.
565
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,000
I think they put everything in we can think of.
566
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,000
But that now we've got to thank you.
567
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,000
All right.
568
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,000
One and two to Oliver.
569
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:57,000
Foul off first bucks have won eighty nine lost sixty six if we win tonight this will be our 90th victory.
570
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:08,000
Make us ninety sixty six on this the twenty second of September in game number one five six.
571
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:15,000
We clinched on one hundred and fifty six game back in 1971 when we won 94 swing by Oliver strikeout.
572
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:32,000
No foul tip not held by us earliest clinching was the twenty first of September in one hundred and forty fourth game of nineteen seventy two when we won 91 and lost fifty three.
573
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,000
Now that was our record at that point.
574
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,000
We tap out in front of the plate.
575
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:44,000
Oh it's coming up for throws in time down and over the third stand.
576
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:52,000
Please remember the records that I'm giving you are they what we had in victories and losses at the time of pinching.
577
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Not what we ultimately finished up with in the year.
578
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:00,000
Here's schedule he's walked and scored a single to drive in his eighty ninth run.
579
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:05,000
He has scored twice his next home run will be number three sixty nine.
580
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:18,000
When he gets that he will be in a tie with Ralph kind of the twenty third place all time major league home run needs to to tie Gil Hodge's twenty second major league.
581
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:24,000
So he's he'll get back to some more before he's hung up his tweets.
582
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Simpson up high ball on Bucks lead for one.
583
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Fifth inning two down Simpson in relief of Hewlett who relieved underwood Simpson low on a sinking pitch ball to two balls no strike.
584
01:12:50,000 --> 01:13:07,000
And the two delivery up high with a slow soft curve ball three.
585
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:11,000
Real stardew watching ball for dip underneath the knees.
586
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:16,000
That's the third walk in the game the second to Wilbur.
587
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:24,000
The batter will be Richie says he popped up the second he hit a screening double to send it off the boards in and out of the glove of Maddox.
588
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:29,000
And if Maddox can't catch him ain't nobody going to catch him.
589
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:38,000
If you'll pardon that the use of the English language or the misuse of it perhaps I should say.
590
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:43,000
There's one left in the outfield the pitch to him by Simpson almost hits this on the left elbow ball one.
591
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,000
It's been tight. That's all he's doing.
592
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:50,000
Come on now folks he's with a good pitch.
593
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:57,000
He just pitched him up in tight.
594
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:13,000
One and out account there is a curve that's in there one ball and one strike.
595
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:17,000
One and one the look and the pitch.
596
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:30,000
The curve strike to his car Mr. Bush the power can cook him before the buck goes out with us when we were out in center field.
597
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:51,000
Occasions turned into quite another graph. One to pitch this curve just missed that was close. Simpson started off the mound. We have a ball to strike to count.
598
01:14:51,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Runners on the corners and the two to pitch to this he stuck him out on a slow curve ball and that is strikeout number two.
599
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:13,000
It also retires the side no runs and no hits no errors and two left at the end of five Pittsburgh for and Philadelphia one.
600
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Well just bring up today now it's thirteen thousand one hundred and seventy six paid tonight on a very drizzly night.
601
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:33,000
I know we undoubtedly have a big audience in the tri-state area because this one can mean the National League Eastern Championship for the Pirates if they can win it.
602
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:55,000
And there's a lot to it. We are hopeful and the radio rich will be able to get this case in so that we can use him on the postgame show and interrogate him a little bit about the Maddox incident that occurred here tonight and other things and more particularly a plus than a minus type of interview.
603
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:06,000
On top of that hopefully then join John Fitzpatrick in the absence of our partner Nelly King who's ill tonight in the locker room for the celebration.
604
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Johnstone but to do that first three six nine twelve outs have got to be recorded and the fillies got to be stopped.
605
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:19,000
There is a strike to Johnstone twice tonight he has flied very deep to left field.
606
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:26,000
No balls one strike and the pitch thinking delivery long away for a ball one one.
607
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:31,000
We're all set to invade Cincinnati radio rich will be going over there with us.
608
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:38,000
Now Godman would be all set for our statistics with Eddie Rathbone and company but first we got to earn the right to get there.
609
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,000
One one delivery. Well two balls in a strike.
610
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:49,000
If we do and now we'll be bringing you all the action direct from Cincinnati. Couple of weeks from now.
611
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:54,000
Couple of weeks from last Sunday. Two balls in a strike last Saturday.
612
01:16:54,000 --> 01:17:04,000
Ball three three and one. What's the date of the playoffs rich October.
613
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:11,000
October 4 5 Saturday Sunday there's a walk to Johnstone.
614
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:15,000
That walk is the third given up by Jason.
615
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:25,000
Then on the sixth is a travel date seven eight and nine are the three dates here at night for seven at night for the eighth and the afternoon on the ninth if necessary.
616
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:30,000
And folks I'd be buying my tickets for you right now.
617
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:34,000
Seven dollars the box you can get them a limit of four over the counter.
618
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:41,000
None to the mail ticket John and G.C. Murphy and of course through the mail for reserves in general admission.
619
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:49,000
Keeson takes a flack at one and low inside ball under Los Inquis and again the bullpen starts moving around to Colby particularly as that.
620
01:17:49,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Los Inquis has two hits in the game both in hard singles to left.
621
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Like this call the beginning the hairy one for Pittsburgh and Keeson was the fourth ball walk.
622
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:14,000
Johnstone line deep left Los Inquis single Allen got on what should have looked like a double play ball turned into an error and then Schmidt had one.
623
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:21,000
And having her through but through a little high then it made a great play holding the bag and firing over for the out for the double play.
624
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,000
That was a very very beginning.
625
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,000
We look back on that one if we're doing it.
626
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,000
But fourth will be extremely big.
627
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:39,000
Candelaria again joins to Colby Johnstone not held by Stodgel pitch to the Zinski one one swing one and two.
628
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:48,000
And I'll tell you one thing Keeson's keeping that ball down on his knees and away from him.
629
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:59,000
Now another game going in the arc at the end of five Yankees are leading Boston 2 to 1 with a pitcher I've never heard of Rick wise for Boston Yankee pitcher I've never heard of.
630
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:03,000
I can only spell it and I'm not sure I can pronounce it.
631
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:30,000
We'd read you you idea why Keeson I think that he had a curveball strike three.
632
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:55,000
Ball to strike to swing South hip not held.
633
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:10,000
Oh Zinski still has life ball to strike to I guess I should correct myself if it was a foul ball not held a foul tip I presume connotes the ball caught ball high three and two.
634
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Somebody wrote Nellie and me about that the other day that a foul tip means when it's caught foul ball means it's not tough.
635
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:27,000
Anyhow the ball in strike count now is three and two and John stones at first and ball was fouled into the net of the myth.
636
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:35,000
He's in on the three two pitch they're running ball for we're getting into some trouble.
637
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:45,000
Johnstone at second and was in skid first and here's Richie Allen bounced into a force play and get on in there and fourth inning.
638
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:53,000
Time call while they wipe this cleats for Stodgel everybody down now we've got three players borrowing a piece of equipment to get rid of the mud in their cleats.
639
01:20:53,000 --> 01:21:17,000
Stodgel and Keeson are the two really.
640
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:28,000
They're going in with two on and none out Pittsburgh leading four to one and this thing is anything but over with this ballclub.
641
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:40,000
I will tell you now anything but over.
642
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:54,000
The pitch to Richard swing and a foul.
643
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,000
We all had visions.
644
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:04,000
Winning this thing real fast like one nothing in an hour and 20 minutes celebrate a little bit and go home and settle down and watch in Miami.
645
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Oh no not tonight.
646
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:07,000
Now we've got to watch this.
647
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:11,000
Nothing in one the counter Richie Allen.
648
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Two men aboard and nobody out.
649
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:18,000
It's just high almost throw away one ball one strike candle.
650
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:30,000
Well that's enter Kent the copy the right hander listening time called as we're going to have a little meeting out there.
651
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:41,000
John Stone drew a walk and was in ski ran the count for he drew a walk and Richie Allen standing in and the white rich he'd been hitting the ball a ton.
652
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Game delayed 25 minutes due to rain 13000 176 looking on the entire official party minus Bing Crosby.
653
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:57,000
I'm Johnson John Gallup and got an entire family and biting fingernail down now with this man up there.
654
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Here's the one one knocked him off the plate ball to strike one.
655
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:32,000
We're going to have Don Osborne come out now and talk here about two and strike one.
656
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:39,000
We have gone to the sixth inning and with two men on they're going to make a change right here with a ball to strike one count.
657
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:54,000
They're going to make a change and let's see it's going to be Kent the Colby.
658
01:23:54,000 --> 01:24:01,000
So Bruce Keesom has gone five innings he has allowed three hits.
659
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:05,000
He struck out one batter.
660
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:16,000
He has walked for and could walk five if Richie Allen gets a walk off Kent to Colby
661
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:21,000
because if he should walk Richie to Colby will be not charged with that walk.
662
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:40,000
Kent to Colby coming in as one one and lost to and he has three say.
663
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:41,000
Out of the six to none.
664
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,000
He's in can win.
665
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:48,000
There's no way he can lose this game.
666
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:54,000
Well you might have missed it earlier due to the lateness of the hour now but a great hand for Bruce Keesom.
667
01:24:54,000 --> 01:25:12,000
I still like to have him on the postgame show regardless if he's available Cardinals six Montreal four at the final.
668
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:23,000
Ted Simmons wanted with his 17th homer in the 12th inning winning pitcher Alan or a Bosque 13 and three to losing pitcher Woody Fremont 8 and 12.
669
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:31,000
You might have missed it earlier on Nellie's pregame show we had Charlie Feeney on and I just thought I'd let everybody know because I know that there'll be some people calling John
670
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:44,000
Signer here in Pittsburgh to talk this thing over about what was written in this morning's post is that by Pally my partner Kelly my friend Charlie Feeney which he properly reported that
671
01:25:44,000 --> 01:26:02,000
Red Chains felt that I intimidated the umpire to the degree that they didn't call balls and strikes properly and there was a situation which yesterday there was an argument with the plate umpire Williams by the Cardinals that he
672
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:15,000
called ball for on a pitch it was a strike as far as they were concerned right down the slot and Redhead said this as he came out that went to the way Bob broadcast the games and intimidated the umpires.
673
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Well you know I went to that effect then somebody told Charlie that I had exchanged words with Red Chains and what they didn't tell him was that they were comfortable nice words there was nothing anything to do about the ballgame at all and I didn't even know that the Redhead had said anything what you read about in the paper because I met him in the
674
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:46,000
press room after I'd come up off the had come up off the field and my only conversation was that I borrow a set of his golf clubs when we played with each other in St. Louis next Friday.
675
01:26:46,000 --> 01:27:06,000
But if you read it in the paper you think we had a terrible fight we did not do one about you the third up comes heaven with it there's one the Senate first base double play.
676
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:09,000
And the second was in school.
677
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:24,000
I rather check that in their third is Johnstone. Let me have a pencil I just made my seven hundred and fifty six mistakes of my career in the last 10 years.
678
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:30,000
This now gives me second all time National League announcers in the state.
679
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:40,000
In the veteran class in the veterans class and I'm a veteran but I made an error.
680
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,000
Thank you.
681
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:48,000
Nelly had an eraser in there and keeps Nelly my partner keeps erasers from my mistakes.
682
01:27:48,000 --> 01:28:00,000
I've always told him my first I work with him I said Nelly I want you to always carry any racer from my mistakes. Third ball to Mike Smith.
683
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:08,000
He that double play is the second of the game and believe me it is a huge huge huge double play.
684
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:19,000
Mike Smith stuck out bounced into a big huge double play back in the fourth inning two down now runner third or one Pittsburgh ball high one and one.
685
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:29,000
Murtaugh in bringing in to call he brings in the guy that he wants to try to get to throw the type of pitch in which they'll hit the double play that's a sinking pitch.
686
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:38,000
To call me through what appeared to be a good sinking pitch up there and Richie tabs it hit it hard enough to third they go around the horn on him one one.
687
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:43,000
Beauty strike to that had Smith bailing out the ball broke right in over the inside corner.
688
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:48,000
He really popped it.
689
01:28:48,000 --> 01:29:03,000
I didn't come back. One ball and two strikes what are you smoking rich that's no wonder you're having to be the worst of what kind of tobacco is that get your new boatload of some.
690
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:10,000
What is it. Oh my god a ball one strike to count.
691
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:19,000
I'm not Smith.
692
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:22,000
One ball to strike.
693
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:24,000
But look the pitch.
694
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:26,000
All the way.
695
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:35,000
Come to think of it rich I got about.
696
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:45,000
Thirty five pipes. You like them. You put a new bit in order and greater their beauty and well broken in.
697
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:52,000
I'll bring you some one ball two strikes.
698
01:29:52,000 --> 01:30:00,000
The Colby checks the pitch.
699
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:06,000
Boy he throw my wicked side armor and Smith went around and tried to stop.
700
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,000
I got number one seventy one goes into the books for the year.
701
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:13,000
And that's his record.
702
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:16,000
Smith strikeouts of one hundred and seventy one.
703
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,000
So we go to the bottom of the sixth inning.
704
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:34,000
That double play was huge.
705
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:38,000
For the Red Sox fans.
706
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,000
Where the Yankees are leading two to one.
707
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:44,000
The Yankees have now made two pitching changes.
708
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:52,000
They switched up this fellow we agreed to Peggin in the sixth inning and now the Martinez in the sixth inning.
709
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:56,000
So that's actually six going at somebody.
710
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:02,000
Here's Parker now the Cobra bounce the second and single the right to drive in.
711
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:06,000
That's leading for one Wayne Simpson the third pitcher.
712
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:11,000
We've had a little little hard feeling tonight.
713
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:15,000
We're going to have Bruce Keason hopefully on the air with us after the postgame show.
714
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:19,000
I cannot conceive of Bruce deliberately throwing at Gary Maddux.
715
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,000
I cannot under any circumstances.
716
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:25,000
I know that Gary felt so because he warned him by saying something to him.
717
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:30,000
But you've got to remember too that Gary's been hit three or four times in the last couple of weeks.
718
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,000
And the last one like Torres right thumb on.
719
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,000
So he felt that maybe they were headhunting on him.
720
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:40,000
But I'm sure that there's no way Bruce would have been thrown at him.
721
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,000
He's in the first place and Bruce wants to hit somebody he can hit you.
722
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,000
You know he just pitched him tight in my opinion.
723
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:46,000
I really mean that.
724
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Hello.
725
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:52,000
I found a play to the left but we do want to have Bruce on anyhow.
726
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:59,000
And then if we are to win the game following Bruce being on with us we'll stay right there.
727
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:05,000
I'll switch to John Fitzpatrick for interviewing the players in the clubhouse.
728
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:09,000
And I'll rejoin I'll come down and join John soon as I can bail out from up here.
729
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,000
Two balls and a strike.
730
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:20,000
Weekly hit up the left side and over goes both stumbles comes up firing and they call him out of first base.
731
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,000
And I want to tell you something.
732
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:26,000
If they had a camera on that shot that would be something.
733
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,000
Parker is going to be restrained by if they go on.
734
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:36,000
They say he's out six or three.
735
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:44,000
Here's happiness. Single left driving in a run bounce out the short.
736
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:50,000
That's leading for the one Tom Underwood does far the picture of record.
737
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Richie Allen holding the line on having it.
738
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:04,000
And a base hit in the right center by Richie coming up for this Maddox and Simpson has given up his first.
739
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,000
That'll bring up Frank Tavares.
740
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:23,000
Frank is over to.
741
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:36,000
Tavares fly to left bounced into a force. Pittsburgh for Philadelphia one here in the sixth inning.
742
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:52,000
Wayne Simpson the right hander throws the strike.
743
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:53,000
One strike.
744
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:56,000
So look again and the pitch.
745
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:58,000
When he took a whack at it.
746
01:33:58,000 --> 01:33:59,000
I'll tell you one thing about Frank.
747
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:07,000
He had a ball in the third inning as far as I've seen him hit one took the left fielder or the Zinski right to the left field boards.
748
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:11,000
I never saw him hit a ball that far in my life.
749
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:22,000
So it's no balls and two strikes.
750
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:32,000
This weekly hit off the right side diving Allen comes up from the knee slows out and heaven can't believe that.
751
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:34,000
And he's arguing he better stay in there.
752
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:35,000
He's going to get thrown out of the game.
753
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:40,000
They're coming out to get him away from Stella.
754
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:45,000
This is the second time that Hefner has been called on a second and he can't believe it.
755
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:54,000
Richie Allen died to his right fell down from a meeting position made a wave of a lot of up towards.
756
01:34:54,000 --> 01:35:01,000
And the fans don't like the call by Stella.
757
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:06,000
Now Richie do me a favor stay in the game.
758
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:11,000
If you do that don't throw anything to the rest gets robbed of a base that he should be mad to.
759
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:17,000
Here comes to call me.
760
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:29,000
It was a whale of a stop by Richie Allen went part of the right diving for the ball then while on his knees lobbed the ball up over the head of running.
761
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:39,000
Hefner and the ball got there to both second but haven't thought he was there on time and they ruled him out to call the ball outside.
762
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:47,000
Now Hefner is upset too because I think he thought he was safe back in the second inning when he ran into second base and knocking in a run there.
763
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:49,000
So he's over to tonight.
764
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:51,000
He's pretty well upset about it.
765
01:35:51,000 --> 01:36:05,000
As far as decisions a second or concern a strike one ball and one strike.
766
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:09,000
They're playing to call these shallow straight away in the outfield.
767
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:13,000
Here's the pitch Simpson swinging the foul back.
768
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:21,000
Somebody here in the booth wants me to leave the microphone from back and autograph a baseball.
769
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:25,000
He forgets that if I do you aren't going to hear me right.
770
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:29,000
Amazing.
771
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:47,000
I'm busy right now. One ball two strikes outside to to.
772
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:49,000
Ball to strike to the.
773
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,000
Can't call it.
774
01:36:51,000 --> 01:37:03,000
Like trees call to him.
775
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:08,000
Boy he's an answer some kind of unloading on that for gentlemen in blue out there.
776
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:14,000
But he knew that was going to be happening to him somewhere in his lifetime when he decided he wanted to be an umpire.
777
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:15,000
I tell you the honest truth.
778
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:21,000
I don't think I'd have the thick enough skin to do it. I got to give them a lot of credit those guys.
779
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:24,000
Not only honest that's the first thing about them.
780
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:26,000
And I mean they're honest.
781
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:29,000
Don't you ever question that.
782
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:36,000
They are got to be thick skin to take that weapon from the fans and sometimes from some announcers.
783
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:40,000
I know some announcers that I know are just terrible.
784
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:46,000
I had a mirror I'd be looking right at one idea at the end of six and then pitch words on top for one.
785
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:50,000
Now I'm sure you all remember Mother Goose and her golden egg.
786
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:56,000
Well every Thursday night you can take a gander while that goose lays her golden egg right on the TV.
787
01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:00,000
It's the Pennsylvania lottery's new dollar game lucky lotto.
788
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:04,000
Now you and Mother Goose and Lady Luck are a team.

A team that could win up to ten thousand dollars in free lucky lotto tickets while you play along in the privacy of your own home.

791
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:27,000

792
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:31,000
So get up off your duff let your dollar do its stuff get a lucky lotto ticket and you're in.
793
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Pennsylvania lottery.

01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:39,000
But you got to play win.
795
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:44,000
Why we proceed to benefit senior citizens play lucky lotto Thursday at seven thirty p.m.
796
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Check your local TV listings.
797
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:56,000
Now your host is your crowd pleasing Ford dealer who has teamed up with the Pittsburgh Pirates for the seventy five drive.
798
01:38:56,000 --> 01:39:02,000
And to call the ghost to Gary Maddux here now.
799
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:21,000
And the pitch from Kent over the outside corner for a strike the Red Sox have picked up three runs to lead for two into the bottom of the sixth at New York in the second period open leading the Miami Dolphins 14 to nothing in that ballgame.
800
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:26,000
All one and strike one is the count here on the batter Gary Maddux.
801
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:36,000
He is in with the run scored he walked in that fifth inning inning we told you that he pointed at Bruce Keeson curveball foul away.
802
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:51,000
And again I say I'm convinced that Bruce Keeson did not throw it Maddux but I'm not so darn sure after that when Keeson came up.
803
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:58,000
There was a little bit of hello and how do you do.
804
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:10,000
I think being close to him like him out happy birthday to gave Dave German who is in our press box.
805
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:39,000
Down goes Maddux that strikeout comes number three second for the Colby.
806
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:49,000
All right there's a pitch to the batter Oates.
807
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:51,000
Thank you Paul Schooley.
808
01:40:51,000 --> 01:41:17,000
I'm trying to get in touch with Bruce Keeson down the locker room.
809
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:21,000
See whether or not he can go on our postgame show.
810
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:27,000
One ball one strike Oates the batter.
811
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:36,000
There's a weaker up the right side it gets by the Colby and stabbing for one hand it's Senna he can't get it and Oates has two for three.
812
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:41,000
If you took both of his hits and put them together it wouldn't blacken my granddaughter Kimmy's eyes.
813
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:47,000
She's only 10.
814
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:53,000
What I'm trying to tell you is that the double he got my fifth inning and the single he just got here is enough to make you weep.
815
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:59,000
May I quickly add that I think for the Pirates this year I must have seen nine hundred like it.
816
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Maybe not nine hundred but though I've seen and that's your card gave me one twenty two to nothing you.
817
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,000
I saw enough to make you go make anybody want to cry.
818
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:15,000
Tommy Hutton is going to bat here for Wayne Simpson.
819
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:25,000
We had some drillers in that twenty two to nothing game but we had some balls with eyes on it some humpback runners some parachutes some quails some fluttering ruptures some really poor kind of thing.
820
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:31,000
And that's the kind of hits tonight Mr. Oates has put up there but I want to tell you something you take anything you can get.
821
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:39,000
I don't blame you. I don't blame the Phil's for battling it out either because this got to be a frustrating thing for this fine ball.
822
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:49,000
They know when our ball club was struggling winning only two out of 14 games at that time they were at home and could have made their move and didn't make it.
823
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:54,000
Hutton batting at two fifty through two three homers and hits us like he owns it.
824
01:42:54,000 --> 01:43:12,000
Strike his call and I mean hits us like he owns it. Bruce Keason is the pitcher record has gone five innings allowed just one run three hits struck out one and walked for.
825
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Now Kent DeColby with three saves trying to get this one oh one outside one more.
826
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:30,000
We just heard from Bruce Keason and he is suffering with an upset tummy and feels too well so we won't bother him on the first game show tonight.
827
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:35,000
We'll get with Dr. Bruce at another time.
828
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:54,000
Ball one strike one outside ball to.
829
01:43:54,000 --> 01:44:06,000
Ball to strike one here. Look over the first and notes is not being held to call the missers outside three and one. It's only a four one ballgame now we can't horse around.
830
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:28,000
Stagel come in general bend is a little something. This guy's took the home run the double and the single off us over there in Philadelphia even though we were able to stop it right on him ball three and strike one.
831
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:42,000
He's walking. That's the fifth walk. I want to say something we're giving him a little too many walks here with only three hits but that's five walks and you keep bringing up this thunder and lightning of cash.
832
01:44:42,000 --> 01:45:03,000
Boa Johnstone was in skin out and you're going to get knocked right on your end and we pull off to double play so far. Five four three five four three both times and they were with two wicked swinging batters up there and Smith and was and Richie Allen.
833
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:15,000
Now let's see who's warming up. We've got a lefty looks like it was there the pitch low ball on.
834
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:35,000
Lefty and a woman about that for them right now is Tom Hilder. One ball no strikes we're warming day just two men on one out fly ball in the gap in the right center and it's going to get through and going to go all the way and it's going to knock in at least two runs.
835
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:55,000
I'll tell you now and any doubt about it. We are not even going to come close to cutting it off. They were gone with a ball slammed into the gap and they're right back into the ball game on an infield single and that walk.
836
01:45:55,000 --> 01:46:11,000
Dave cash drives at home and does he drive at home. 54 runs batted in for him and that had to be sweet for David.
837
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:15,000
Here's Boa the only one out.
838
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Who would help you. It doesn't want to have any club out celebrations on the radio at their expense. Now Boa 0 for 2.
839
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:39,000
Bunches and heaven are running up fast bare hands throws him out. Great play. He was running for a base hit.
840
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:47,000
You've got to be out no sacrifice. I think he was a very fine ruling by Bob Smizic.
841
01:46:47,000 --> 01:47:00,000
Cash is at third base boys out five to three. No sacrifice. He was trying for a base hit. Here's Johnstone lined the left field twice and walk.
842
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:09,000
Four three Pittsburgh leading now by one run with one out. Got a dribbling base hit.
843
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Hutton drew a walk and Hutton can fly on and say something and when cash hit the ball into the gap in the right center that got by Oliver had no play on the ball.
844
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:22,000
Hutton was running right up both his back.
845
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:30,000
Coming right around the score like it was nothing to it. Now two down to Johnstone pitch right. He was going to bump.
846
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:39,000
Don't ask me why I don't have any idea why he looked like he was going to bump.
847
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:52,000
Where she had a we're going to see Tom Hilgendorf when we get out of this pickle and we're in a pickle. Let me tell you for three to score.
848
01:47:52,000 --> 01:48:16,000
Pittsburgh with a four. Did he swing. They're going to feel it. They're going to say no he did not.
849
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:23,000
One ball one strike to the left hand batting Jade Johnstone.
850
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:33,000
Bouncer the first stagel up beautifully on a great play. Got him at first base on a system. Boy what a play by Willie Stagel.
851
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:40,000
Two runs on two hits no errors one left at the end of six and a half four three Pittsburgh.
852
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:55,000
Ford announces new small high mileage cars.
853
01:48:55,000 --> 01:49:15,000
New Pinto and Mustang two MPG rated 34 miles a gallon and EPA Highway Dynamometer test 23 and city says to beat BW Beetle and more.
854
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:29,000
So foreign car beat their EPA buyer's guys mileage and a two point three liter four cylinder engine four speed shift three point one eight axle ratio and catalyst our standard any other.
855
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:58,000
See Cliff he Cliff he fought an upper St. Clair Jerry Spangler Spangler Motors in Tyrone and John Oliverio Shempton Motor Company in Shempton West Virginia.
856
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:16,000
Right. Well Tom Hildorf is on and he's a left hander and we're ahead by one run going into the bottom of the seventh it's four to three and we'll pass 10 seconds for station identification on the pirate baseball network.
857
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:32,000
All the good sports are on.
858
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Tom Hildorf is in now to do the hurling.
859
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:57,000
I told you one thing and it's only Hildorf is one seven and lost three. There's nothing remarkable about what I said except one thing I said to keep giving Philadelphia walks you're going to get hurt and the five walks you go with the five hits gives them the 10 minute on base.
860
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:09,000
And every time you walk a guy you take away every chance in the world to get him out. So it's not easy.
861
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:32,000
Now they got an outfield change also they put Hutt in the game and right field in place of John Stone. He remains in the game and thus John Stone's spot will be taken care of.
862
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:40,000
Hildorf is going to bat third they're going to leave him right in there so they can bat for him to lead off and get Senate fouls back.
863
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:55,000
In other words the pitcher Hildorf is batting third. This is one time they want him out of there after this inning to just go with a lead off man warming up another left handed.
864
01:51:55,000 --> 01:52:02,000
And you have a number for that guy.
865
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:30,000
Like to. Well I guess you do it's Randy Lurch. We found it Randy Lurch not Barry but Randy Lurch the left hander warming up.
866
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:41,000
By leading Hutton in the ballgame and playing out in right field they get a chance to bat him in the eighth hopefully the ninth Senate awaiting high for a ball one and two.
867
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:59,000
Underwood. Schuyler Simpson and now Hildorf. Hildorf is seven and three on the year one two pitch swing foul and down goes Senate it went right off his foot.
868
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:11,000
Ball one and strike two.
869
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:24,000
Here's the one two pitch hard wrap the third backhand beautifully by Mike Smith throws across and he throws down and he tags him for the out.
870
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:38,000
Senate if he slides his safe but he has no way of knowing that that play is going to bring pull out and off any base with a real fielding play by Mike Smith backhanding that ball was a hard smash he grabbed it the half handed.
871
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:46,000
And let me tell you something that was a big play here saying you know for three went out and I come back to the man flying out the right field and bounced out the third.
872
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:59,000
It's four three Pittsburgh here in the seventh inning one out and then on San Gian and Hildorf bouncer for the whole for the left side backhanded by bar leaps up throws doesn't get him.
873
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:02,000
They said San Gian.
874
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:22,000
Going deep into the hole backhanded leaps in the air fired did not get his man they said and here is our Oliver hit number eight for the Buccos and in field single Oliver doubled in the gap in left center in the fourth inning scored a run.
875
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:38,000
He's one for three. The beginning for Pittsburgh was the fourth and the single by Parker driving insist the run by which the parts leaders the one that's holding up now and the Buccos are flying everywhere trying to get a rally riding to get the Buccos up where they can do a little more.
876
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:45,000
Big gap off the right side saying game being held by Alan cash is over to his right.
877
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:54,000
Gap in the outfield is in the right center slot. He'll can go at the left hander working pitch her swing Oliver strike one.
878
01:54:54,000 --> 01:55:00,000
Mr. The mile that time breaking curve.
879
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:05,000
No balls one strike.
880
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:23,000
But look now the pitch this curve swing and a foul strike two.
881
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:43,000
Jürgen Dahl on the other two dollars weekly off the left side and again.
882
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:48,000
No balls two strikes.
883
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:51,000
Red Sox leading for two over the Yankees and a seven.
884
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:57,000
Third ball popped up shallow right up over the man who's going to get it Alan comes up and grabs it.
885
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:15,000
Richie Allen to it'll bring up start you'll be what sort of run he's single to drive in the run and later score run in that fourth inning the inning which the past but three or plus and now lead for the three.
886
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:23,000
Texas and Kansas City plan where Texas leads one nothing in the five and a half. Minnesota is at Oakland.
887
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:28,000
It may be that they'll win the national the American League West before they even play the game.
888
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:36,000
The Kansas City losing if they lose it it's all over.
889
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:43,000
So tonight just a question of perhaps can the parts get into clenching the same time Oakland clinches.
890
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:50,000
You'll see straight away the schedule deep Hildegandorf misses outside low ball on.
891
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:59,000
Now they got Jean Garber up the right handed knuckleballer.
892
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:14,000
Joe Horn up also start your guys a base hit in the right center same game around second will go to third and the Pirates have runners on the corner.
893
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:39,000
The battle will be rich is this.
894
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:49,000
Richie says popped up the second hit a screecher out over second in the deep center in the fourth inning and Maddox running back got a glove on it could not hold it.
895
01:57:49,000 --> 01:58:02,000
Well for the double driving in Stodgel and then this was scored from second base when Parker real door one right in the right field and his 98 run batted in and that run.
896
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:14,000
That was the run by which the Pirates lead here with two out Stodgel was single tonight sending Sandy in the third time is called and Ray Rimpelmeyer is coming out and just as going back to the dugout.
897
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:18,000
We may see knuckleballing Jean Garber be called on here.
898
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:26,000
Let's wait and see.
899
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:41,000
Rimpelmeyer however is the man that normally does not take a map.
900
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:46,000
He's looking into the dugout.
901
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:49,000
Billy Williams says.
902
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:52,000
What do you want to do.
903
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:56,000
They say they want to change and they're coming with Garber.
904
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:59,000
Who is their knuckleball pitcher.
905
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:10,000
Jean Garber former Pirates.
906
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:14,000
Garber coming on in the seventh inning with two down.
907
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:22,000
Gilgundov has pitched two thirds of an inning has allowed two hits.
908
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:27,000
No strikeouts and no walks is responsible for the two men aboard.
909
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:32,000
The pitch of record is still Tom Underwood.
910
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:35,000
But the Phillies are anything but out of this one.
911
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:43,000
And coming in now to do a lot of pitching Garber he's won nine and lost twelve.
912
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:45,000
Let me tell you something else about him.
913
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:54,000
He's been in sixty nine ballgames so this is now game seventy for him.
914
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:57,000
He has fourteen saves.
915
01:59:57,000 --> 02:00:02,000
So he's done a job for him.
916
02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:05,000
Underwood left after three innings for four runs.
917
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,000
Schuyler one inning no runs.
918
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:08,000
Simpson two innings no runs.
919
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:11,000
Gilgundov two thirds of an inning.
920
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:14,000
There's a first and third his but no charges yet.
921
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:18,000
And Garber now will go to this.
922
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:24,000
One of the remarkable things about it when you get a knuckleball if you hit it right it's gone a country mile.
923
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:33,000
And Pirate fans would hope that this could be the case here.
924
02:00:33,000 --> 02:01:02,000
This is a game that the Bucks need one out of sight to see if they can't get themselves the victory.
925
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:05,000
Thank you and it would gone in the dugout will become a bag day.
926
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:13,000
Just he continues to loosen for Pittsburgh.
927
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:21,000
Go Horner for them and they put that other left handed up Randy Lurch again.
928
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:29,000
I refuse to say the one is very obvious thing that confronts the Philadelphia Phillies.
929
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:32,000
The runners at first and third and two down.
930
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:40,000
What I'm trying to say is they'll use anybody in the house they got on their roster for this one and the one tomorrow or any other game.
931
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:44,000
Until the sun is set in the west.
932
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:49,000
But until it sets.
933
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:53,000
And there's a spot from doing that yet.
934
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:58,000
We're only in the seventh inning of a game delayed 25 minutes.
935
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:03,000
13,176 here and nobody leaving.
936
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:06,000
And in.
937
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:12,000
At third base he beat out an infield single the short stardom wrapped up drive in the right center.
938
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:29,000
And then going to third and with two downs this with a double and room batted in weights swings a guy they hit.
939
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:46,000
And he starts to run the Hylgen dog.
940
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:51,000
Outcomes Ozark.
941
02:02:51,000 --> 02:03:07,000
The left hander is going to look at Joe Horner just as sure as my name is Robert Prince.
942
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:10,000
Well I'm what I'm trying to say is I'm running out of things to talk about.
943
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:16,000
I don't know what else is Joe Horner.
944
02:03:16,000 --> 02:03:41,000
I call time and go to the little boy's room and I'll be back where you listen to the organ music because I'm here about myself and I'm holding on to everything.
945
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:46,000
All right we got Joe Horner coming in now.
946
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:49,000
Richard just gave me an idea.
947
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:51,000
What I can talk about.
948
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:57,000
I'll tell you what Nelly and I can talk about I know the diver leaves now he went no innings one yet.
949
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:01,000
No strikeouts no walks and he's responsible for this.
950
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:08,000
He's a first base star to the courses of second is the responsibility of Hylgen door.
951
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:13,000
And now Horner the left hander is on with two down.
952
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:25,000
Joe Horner here in the last of the seventh with two out and Horner.
953
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:36,000
Bill tells me that some fan called in on the let's talk sports show to John Signer of the left on Johnny's talk show and wanted to know how I can call strikes from where I sit.
954
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:48,000
And John said well I was up behind the plate and pretty far up he wanted to know maybe himself now I could call strike.
955
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:55,000
And I said so I could hey we got a real router down.
956
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:57,000
John.
957
02:04:57,000 --> 02:05:05,000
Boy he's got him going crazy.
958
02:05:05,000 --> 02:05:07,000
Going wild.
959
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:19,000
Got the babushka.
960
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:21,000
Tiger fall.
961
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:22,000
Going down.
962
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:24,000
Well I want to tell you how I can call strikes.
963
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:34,000
Ladies and gentlemen in the first place I'm not blind and I am my eyes are trained after 30 years of baseball like every major league baseball announcer.
964
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:42,000
I can see whether the ball is over the plate and I can see whether or not it's high or low with relation to the ball.
965
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:50,000
Here come the Buster's and Tiger fall is waving at the Buster's and everybody's going wild.
966
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:54,000
All over the world.
967
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:57,000
Okay.
968
02:05:57,000 --> 02:06:01,000
Now here's the Cobra standing.
969
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:13,000
This place is a busy as a man that again is the new ladies believe you are the ones that did it all with your babushka power the enthusiasm you've generated is unbelievable.
970
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:14,000
All right.
971
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:31,000
That's the part that they hit the right.
972
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:52,000
Well.
973
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:57,000
They're going wild.
974
02:06:57,000 --> 02:07:03,000
Well Parker face it gives him 98 runs driven in on the year.
975
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:08,000
Charge the run to Hylken dog.
976
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:13,000
What does the second base a third base.
977
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:17,000
Now on the part of the plate.
978
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:27,000
Parker went into second.
979
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:29,000
Here's a happy or two for three.
980
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:34,000
Warner delivers ball outside to know Richie's.
981
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:37,000
Is that third chargeable the Garber.
982
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:42,000
Parker's a second chargeable the Warner.
983
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:49,000
Two no strikes.
984
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:56,000
To open up inside ball three.
985
02:07:56,000 --> 02:07:59,000
Red Sox are running at the Yankees now.
986
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:13,000
Four five to two at the end of seven and a half innings three balls no strikes to heaven.
987
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:16,000
Order into the wind up in the field fair.
988
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:30,000
He gave them a green light he found it back ball three and strike one to get Shader to crank me up a little bit so I can thank you.
989
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:33,000
I can rest my hammer a little.
990
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:40,000
Got that much more left hanging there though we got to drive ball three and strike one.
991
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:43,000
Let me hear that Google in the moment one more time.
992
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:53,000
Remember the charge another club on three one pitch up inside knocking down ball for.
993
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:56,000
Now the bases are loaded with a spider.
994
02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:58,000
That's the fourth one.
995
02:08:58,000 --> 02:09:03,000
Here's the best flag left bounce into two fourth place.
996
02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:11,000
And the 13000 people here ladies and gentlemen are making more noise than I've heard and I don't know how long.
997
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:30,000
So John Fitzpatrick has come up with an idea if we win this and he'll stay here and do the postgame show with Joe Russo of the Baltimore swing foul back and give me a chance then to go on down into the locker room and get ready for the dead use it'll follow down there.
998
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:36,000
I asked Jim Russo of Baltimore to be your guest Johnny on the thing.
999
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:38,000
No balls in the strike.
1000
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:42,000
Thank you. That'll give me a chance to get down and I know I'm going to get so but it'll be worth it.
1001
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:49,000
Here comes the on one outside ball one strike one.
1002
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:51,000
If we can win it.
1003
02:09:51,000 --> 02:10:01,000
You'll hear Johnny Fitzpatrick and handling everything up here with the Jim Russo one of the great scouts in all of baseball Baltimore.
1004
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:10,000
This team is not out of it yet. One one swing.
1005
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:13,000
But I will say one thing.
1006
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:23,000
It's hurting now because the Red Sox are running at him to open is not yet started but Texas is beating Kansas City at the end of seven and he's won an epic Texas Wednesday.
1007
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:24,000
It's all over.
1008
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:31,000
Oakland will win and we can win here as a buck goes go at it. Let's go back. Listen to him.
1009
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:38,000
One ball two strikes bases loaded a couple of runs in the pitch and a drive in the shallow side and that comes up.
1010
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:39,000
He's got it.
1011
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:51,000
That was the fly ball in the shallow center field but the Pirates get two very, very big runs on one two three four base it's no errors and three left.
1012
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Listen to the roar of the crowd.
1013
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:58,000
Reading their pirate.
1014
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:04,000
A very big one as we have gone through seven innings the Pirates lead now six to three.
1015
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:08,000
Nelly King nothing really serious with Nelly but he's got the.
1016
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:23,000
Gun bug at the wrong time for the flu for him and fever and it's best for him to remain home in their life and get well. And so the Aguazin skinned to cover he works a strike time.
1017
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:47,000
That.
1018
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:52,000
Here's the one ball one strike.
1019
02:11:52,000 --> 02:12:18,000
There's a base hit up the middle.
1020
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:22,000
Dick Allen standing in over three.
1021
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:27,000
But out on the front end of a double play and out on the back end of a double play.
1022
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:34,000
Both of them were involved in the five four three executions to call me work to him.
1023
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:39,000
He tried to hammer it out of here and he does it six to five and a.
1024
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:41,000
What a fearful looking swing.
1025
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:43,000
Dave Dusty is now up to Pittsburgh.
1026
02:12:43,000 --> 02:12:48,000
This game is not over folks.
1027
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:55,000
Lusinski with his third hit he's battling it every way you can go at you.
1028
02:12:55,000 --> 02:13:04,000
Dave Cash with a big blasting double in the seventh inning pulling the Phillies to within one the Pirates striking back getting a lucky infield hit and they did.
1029
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:06,000
Swing strike two.
1030
02:13:06,000 --> 02:13:20,000
And then after that with two out Stajel wrapping this wrapping and proctor going at it and they came up with two very big runs with two out the ability to score a couple of runs with two men out was a very big factor.
1031
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:30,000
Nothing in to remind you again in the event we're able to win this game John Fitzpatrick will be on for a few moments with Jim Russo is a very excellent scout of the Baltimore Orioles.
1032
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:31,000
Here's the look.
1033
02:13:31,000 --> 02:13:36,000
The O2.
1034
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:41,000
Going down.
1035
02:13:41,000 --> 02:14:02,000
Battling up Mike Smith he stuck out Baskin and around the horn double play and struck out he has 38 home runs.
1036
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:21,000
There's a bunch by Mike Smith that bounced all the way straight back.
1037
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:36,000
I wish he'd run about two more like it.
1038
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:44,000
Nothing in one account.
1039
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:50,000
Mike Smith was insured first loose hold on him by Willis Dodd.
1040
02:14:50,000 --> 02:14:52,000
Here's the look down and the own one.
1041
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:59,000
That's when I'm going to call the fire the baby by him.
1042
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:05,000
Ladies and gentlemen you might some of you wonder why we wouldn't be clicking say at the call the piece and then what I do for a postgame show.
1043
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:07,000
There's a reason for that.
1044
02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:11,000
You're going to get to hear all of them in our locker room if we win.
1045
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:20,000
And you'll get an analysis of what we are faced with if we win by one of the game super sluice and Jim Russo the Baltimore club.
1046
02:15:20,000 --> 02:15:22,000
So we give it to both the best of both worlds.
1047
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:23,000
Stay with us.
1048
02:15:23,000 --> 02:15:40,000
Why ball looking down the left line and it's going to be a foul ball in the corner and just barely found Mike Smith missed the double by a Nats out.
1049
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:45,000
The score is 63 and let me tell you the two runs the Buccos came back to score in the seventh inning.
1050
02:15:45,000 --> 02:15:49,000
Mighty big runs.
1051
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:55,000
Bruce Keeson the pitcher of record if he can hang it in here with the call the take is pumping them.
1052
02:15:55,000 --> 02:16:03,000
Now it's headed out.
1053
02:16:03,000 --> 02:16:04,000
There's a pitch low.
1054
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:07,000
However he did give up two runs in the seventh inning.
1055
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:14,000
Remember he stuck out about it and Oates got an infield single he walked Hutton and then cashed him up for a double.
1056
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:18,000
Now the Bucs have come right back to give him that two run margin again.
1057
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:42,000
But Mike Schmidt is up there a ball and two strikes was in skid first base one away and here's the one to pitch foul kept fouled at the feet of the plate umpire a ball and two strikes.
1058
02:16:42,000 --> 02:16:48,000
Rain continues to drop very slightly just sort of a drizzle.
1059
02:16:48,000 --> 02:16:57,000
I've often wondered why there's a people question why you can't call a ball or a ball a strike to the ball from being up 300 feet away you're right back at home plate.
1060
02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:00,000
You can tell me I can't see a ball come over the plate.
1061
02:17:00,000 --> 02:17:06,000
I can tell whether it's high with relation to pitches you can't tell is too much as a sinker.
1062
02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:25,000
You can tell a breaking ball or change up or a fastball slide at one to pitch there is a breaking ball and just missed outside to to.
1063
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:36,000
You ever wonder how a cocktail waitress or a waiter can come up to a table with 15 people and take a drink order and food order and walk back and turn around come back and lay it all right down in front of the way you ordered it.
1064
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:42,000
They're training that's why fly ball shallow right standard back is a tough place then and there you got it close to first base.
1065
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:53,000
No Los Angeles is just back then it made a fine play and shallow right turn and with the strike the star but Los Angeles he got back.
1066
02:17:53,000 --> 02:18:17,000
Maddox ran of the short walk and scored struck out.
1067
02:18:17,000 --> 02:18:36,000
That's leading six to three. We are in the top half of the eighth inning Maddox a right hand batter to call the checks his runner pitches fly ball out in the right center running hard Oliver slice it on and he got it.
1068
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:56,000
The bottom of the eighth six to three Pittsburgh see John Hallman Forest Hills Motor Company and Forest Hills at George Jacob George Ford and House Dale and Maynard Dilley Marlinton Motor Sales in Marlinton your baseball host has been your crowd pleasing Ford dealer who has teamed up with the Pittsburgh Pirates for the seventy five drive.
1069
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:18,000
All right now they got a new pitcher in John Montague.
1070
02:19:18,000 --> 02:19:41,000
The ball is trying to drink it up one two three four five six seven man up is John Montague that is on the hill.
1071
02:19:41,000 --> 02:19:50,000
Mind again now the best way to get your tickets for the playoffs is come down here go to Ticketron or over at the G.C. Murphy's.
1072
02:19:50,000 --> 02:20:04,000
Really it is the best way you can get all you want of every seat but the box seats in person you only get four of the box you get plenty of reserves the general missions and the youth ticket and I would suggest that you do exactly that now because it's going to be quite a series.
1073
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:11,000
Game three four and if necessary number five two of them at night the other one the afternoon first two at night.
1074
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:40,000
Gabor didn't appear in any he gave up one yet is all but no runs and Joe Horner gave up in one third of an inning no runs one hit no strikeouts and one walk and now Montague a right hander goes to Kobe.
1075
02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:50,000
Now it's leading six to three Montague as one and lost one.
1076
02:20:50,000 --> 02:20:56,000
We're in the last half of the eighth inning.
1077
02:20:56,000 --> 02:20:58,000
He is the seventh man up.
1078
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:02,000
We have a one ball one strike count that's the call the who stuck out back in the sixth.
1079
02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:06,000
He's trying to save this game for the Buccos and for Keeson.
1080
02:21:06,000 --> 02:21:20,000
He did give up a couple of runs with the first game right back to get him a fair Yankees get back with a run and at the end of eight innings of play Boston leading their five to three where their magic number is five.
1081
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:30,000
If they win it will be four because Baltimore is idle Kansas City is losing to Texas one nothing if Kansas City loses it's all over.
1082
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:43,000
Oldham has clinched the American League Western before they even start to play and they got 20 more minutes yet before they play their game inside ball three.
1083
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:48,000
If we can clinch here.
1084
02:21:48,000 --> 02:21:54,000
It will be our fifth National League Eastern title in six years to call it goes down swinging.
1085
02:21:54,000 --> 02:22:04,000
And the only other one that we missed on was when we were knocked out of the box the day after the season ended when San Diego came back in Zappa.
1086
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:11,000
The earliest we ever clenched a title was on the 21st of September.
1087
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:16,000
Well this is the 22nd and this is game number one five six.
1088
02:22:16,000 --> 02:22:26,000
We clinched with game number one forty four back in seventy two.
1089
02:22:26,000 --> 02:22:33,000
But we didn't play as many double headers and all that's one of the reasons why.
1090
02:22:33,000 --> 02:22:35,000
One ball no strikes.
1091
02:22:35,000 --> 02:22:51,000
He was done it.
1092
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:54,000
So we got everything lined up for you now.
1093
02:22:54,000 --> 02:22:56,000
And how it's going to happen and you.
1094
02:22:56,000 --> 02:22:59,000
We hope you'll stay aboard and listen to it.
1095
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:13,000
Thank you Johnny Fitzpatrick and one of the things that he and Jim Rousseau the Baltimore club are going to talk about is that a lot of the boo boos that have happened as a result of scouting misplaced in baseball foul
1096
02:23:13,000 --> 02:23:24,000
that like a famous woman occurred with Dick Grote and Bill Burdon as a result of a scouting report by Mayo Smith.
1097
02:23:24,000 --> 02:23:29,000
And those are the other things Jim of course has got in the Cincinnati club.
1098
02:23:29,000 --> 02:23:31,000
You tell us what our problems are there.
1099
02:23:31,000 --> 02:23:58,000
The center over three bouncing down a second bobble by the cash keeps it in front of him and throws for the out to a Pittsburgh leading six three and the eight two down the same game.
1100
02:23:58,000 --> 02:24:08,000
All right.
1101
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:22,000
And the own to and a strike from the outside corner.
1102
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:34,000
And the first time from Montague seventh pitcher of the night underwood way back went three innings for four runs and is the pitcher record.
1103
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:51,000
This one almost picked up thingy ball to strike one that was a roaring fastball just took off up inside and the baby and he's now Boston leading Yankees five three the magic number if they win will be for Baltimore's
1104
02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:53,000
title.
1105
02:24:53,000 --> 02:25:10,000
Texas is winning one nothing if over Kansas City if they went over them doesn't need to worry about it and they don't worry anyhow Montague misses because Oakland was playing later on with Minnesota they haven't even gotten in the way we're in the bottom of the
1106
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:20,000
Kansas City still trading nothing to one ball three and two to sing.
1107
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:29,000
Well I guess you know that if we win the National League East we will broadcast the championship series starting in Cincinnati.
1108
02:25:29,000 --> 02:25:37,000
Two weeks from yesterday.
1109
02:25:37,000 --> 02:25:45,000
There's ball for
1110
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:50,000
the first time in a while.
1111
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:54,000
Well I just made an announcement that keeps me from going into clubhouse.
1112
02:25:54,000 --> 02:25:58,000
I gotta have an identification card and I don't have my baseball pass with me.
1113
02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:07,000
I can understand that admission to the clubhouse will be by card only baseball writers card
1114
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:15,000
only baseball writers card.
1115
02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:18,000
I don't have mine with me and I hope that maybe they'll let the old gunner get in.
1116
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:24,000
I'll bring a microphone and it'd be funny if they kept me out.
1117
02:26:24,000 --> 02:26:30,000
They'd be entitled to Mr.
1118
02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:31,000
Oliver's up there.
1119
02:26:31,000 --> 02:26:33,000
He has a double and fours back.
1120
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:44,000
Well I got a run in the second inning when Stodger walked and two hours later Hevner got a base hit to drive him home.
1121
02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:55,000
Then we added three more in the fourth Oliver doubles single style doubles this single Parker and has made it four runs for us the ball all the way to the backstop.
1122
02:26:55,000 --> 02:27:05,000
They got a run in the fifth inning when Maddox walk oats got a blue single blue double and the cover bounced out the first base scoring Maddox.
1123
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:12,000
Then they came with two more in the seventh how bad will one out of got an infield single.
1124
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:13,000
How can you walk.
1125
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:22,000
They cashed out a shot into the gap in the right center for two runs and that made it four three Philadelphia trading by one.
1126
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:28,000
But the patch came right back in the seventh inning Hildendorf pitching one out saying he ain't got a lucky infield.
1127
02:27:28,000 --> 02:27:38,000
Oliver drives the left he's got a base hit saying he and going to second base will hold and with one out as I say in the seventh inning and got a lucky hit to the infield.
1128
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:42,000
Then the two out Stodger single the dot in gene.
1129
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:47,000
He hit the first pitch for a single to drive in saying again they brought in Hornets.
1130
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:55,000
He had a single out the pocket hit a single out him to drive in start those two runs were very bad.
1131
02:27:55,000 --> 02:27:58,000
Now here's Willie the stars.
1132
02:27:58,000 --> 02:28:00,000
There's two out.
1133
02:28:00,000 --> 02:28:03,000
We have runners at first and second.
1134
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:17,000
Start your walk and scored single to drive in running scored walk and single and scored.
1135
02:28:17,000 --> 02:28:41,000
The pitch swing foul what's that no play.
1136
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:47,000
Here's a foul coming up into the booth.
1137
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:51,000
Just about killed Nelly Kings by the organ player.
1138
02:28:51,000 --> 02:28:52,000
Read names.
1139
02:28:52,000 --> 02:28:58,000
We almost hit him right on the head and bounce right in behind him.
1140
02:28:58,000 --> 02:29:01,000
This presented as a son got it.
1141
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:05,000
No balls two strikes.
1142
02:29:05,000 --> 02:29:11,000
That's broken that ball down the right field line.
1143
02:29:11,000 --> 02:29:13,000
One run.
1144
02:29:13,000 --> 02:29:16,000
All of us going to be held as Stodger breaks his back.
1145
02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:19,000
That's a blue double on the right field line.
1146
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:25,000
The bell went down the right field line part way the bat handle stated home plate.
1147
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:34,000
Hey Don is going out to get the battle about in short right field the ball blue beyond that in the right field down the line and the Buccos have really got the ball a cloud of charge going.
1148
02:29:34,000 --> 02:29:57,000
Oh.
1149
02:29:57,000 --> 02:30:07,000
Oh.
1150
02:30:07,000 --> 02:30:33,000
Oh.
1151
02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:38,000
Oh runs driven in now for Richie's.
1152
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:45,000
And the batter will be pocket by Busker powers on the board by Buskers flying everywhere.
1153
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:50,000
Time is called.
1154
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:53,000
They're going to take this guy out and put in the ground dealing at a run point.
1155
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:59,000
Big hand Richie's.
1156
02:30:59,000 --> 02:31:04,000
And the Cobra stands in with 99 runs driven in.
1157
02:31:04,000 --> 02:31:12,000
Would he like to finish this year with 100 reviews and more and that he'll do.
1158
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:21,000
He lot a runs for Richie says the Pirates lead nine to three as they bang through for three runs and again to around here in the eighth.
1159
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:36,000
Line to foul the left by the Cobra he has two hits both singles in the fourth and again the seventh and two runs driven in.
1160
02:31:36,000 --> 02:31:40,000
This now has seventy five rebbe's start your 90.
1161
02:31:40,000 --> 02:32:04,000
Marker 99.
1162
02:32:04,000 --> 02:32:24,000
They are going wild.
1163
02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:28,000
Cobra strikes again is on the board.
1164
02:32:28,000 --> 02:32:34,000
And the Cobra is rolling to Lado.
1165
02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:38,000
Now he has 101 runs driven in 25 homers.
1166
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:40,000
Pirates lead 11 to three.
1167
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:48,000
They are just throwing the National League here.
1168
02:32:48,000 --> 02:32:58,000
They score five.
1169
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:12,000
Kevner two for three the batter ball two and no strikes to him and Montague being ripped in here swings any fouls to the left and out of play.
1170
02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:20,000
He's got some bit of power as Parker drove it deep over the right field stanchion.
1171
02:33:20,000 --> 02:33:36,000
For his 25th Homer and his fourth run driven in on the night gives him 101 runs batted in for the season the first to get up into the hundred run battered in my.
1172
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:46,000
Ball shadow left running hard Schmidt coming on Lizinski and Schmidt makes a great over the shoulder catch deep down the line and foul territory to retire the side.
1173
02:33:46,000 --> 02:34:14,000
Listen to the roar of the pot take the field.
1174
02:34:14,000 --> 02:34:16,000
Well they deserve every bit of it.
1175
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:19,000
The Pirates five runs four hits no one left.
1176
02:34:19,000 --> 02:34:24,000
We go to the top of the ninth and the Pirates three outs away from the National League Eastern Championship.
1177
02:34:24,000 --> 02:34:31,000
Let's go 11 to three.
1178
02:34:31,000 --> 02:34:39,000
Well ladies and gentlemen this is another big one for the Buccos.
1179
02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:44,000
They are three outs away from saying to you what they've been saying for the last five years.
1180
02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:47,000
They are one of the greatest teams in the national league.
1181
02:34:47,000 --> 02:34:52,000
Thank you so much to call me those who's two for three.
1182
02:34:52,000 --> 02:35:02,000
The Pirates won the National League East in 1970 71 72 74 were eliminated in 73.
1183
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:09,000
The day after the season was over and will win the National League Eastern title here tonight.
1184
02:35:09,000 --> 02:35:14,000
The absolute I'm for gettable would be unforgettable for me and my marriage.
1185
02:35:14,000 --> 02:35:25,000
Ninth inning fulfills to do anything without the score nine runs and if they do I'll be long gone and you'll have to hear about it in the Mars.
1186
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:32,000
Bogut show because I wouldn't stay around by myself the face of nine run and assault by the Phillies.
1187
02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:38,000
I quit strike on a foul back one and two.
1188
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:40,000
I'll tell you one thing.
1189
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:54,000
Don't ever under look at the Phillies over look at Philadelphia Phillies.
1190
02:35:54,000 --> 02:36:03,000
Ball to strike to and the pitch bounce off the left side up comes to the seat.
1191
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:07,000
Those one.
1192
02:36:07,000 --> 02:36:17,000
Don't ever overlook the fact that the Philadelphia Phillies did not have Steve Carlton at his best for a long time with a bad arm.
1193
02:36:17,000 --> 02:36:18,000
Don't ever look.
1194
02:36:18,000 --> 02:36:22,000
That's Gary Maddux wasn't hurt for a long time.
1195
02:36:22,000 --> 02:36:24,000
Don't overlook that.
1196
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:35,000
Remember they didn't have Richie Allen the full year and they have a team that is just that close.
1197
02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:39,000
And there's a bunch of the first hit spout the last moment.
1198
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:42,000
This is happening who walked and scored in the seventh inning.
1199
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:53,000
And then in the game Philadelphia has shown that they are a ballclub that just will be back and that you have to the mail next year.
1200
02:36:53,000 --> 02:36:58,000
Boston leading now into the bottom of the ninth at New York six to three.
1201
02:36:58,000 --> 02:37:02,000
Their number goes to four if they beat the Yankees.
1202
02:37:02,000 --> 02:37:03,000
Baltimore is idle.
1203
02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:06,000
Here's the one outside.
1204
02:37:06,000 --> 02:37:13,000
Texas is playing Kansas City and in that ballgame into the bottom of the eighth inning Texas leads one to nothing.
1205
02:37:13,000 --> 02:37:15,000
If Texas wins the game it's all over.
1206
02:37:15,000 --> 02:37:20,000
Oakland will win the American League West without even starting to play.
1207
02:37:20,000 --> 02:37:23,000
There's a ball popped up off the first base side foul.
1208
02:37:23,000 --> 02:37:25,000
I think it would get up in the seats.
1209
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:27,000
It does.
1210
02:37:27,000 --> 02:37:29,000
Bane goes from Minnesota.
1211
02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:30,000
Holtzman starting for Oakland.
1212
02:37:30,000 --> 02:37:34,000
They're about 10 minutes away from starting.
1213
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:36,000
And it's merely academic if Texas wins it.
1214
02:37:36,000 --> 02:37:50,000
It's academic anyhow.
1215
02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:59,000
Pirate here leading 11 to 3 1 out as Hutton is a tough batter standing in a one ball two strike pitch from Toccovi bounced off the left side.
1216
02:37:59,000 --> 02:38:09,000
Tavarez comes up.
1217
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:13,000
Now it's up to Dave Cash to keep it alive for the fading Phillies.
1218
02:38:13,000 --> 02:38:14,000
Dave bounced the second.
1219
02:38:14,000 --> 02:38:15,000
Fly to center.
1220
02:38:15,000 --> 02:38:16,000
Down to the short.
1221
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:21,000
Hit a very big double in the seventh inning when it drove the Pirates right up against the wall.
1222
02:38:21,000 --> 02:38:24,000
Knocked in two runs to make it four three.
1223
02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:26,000
Pittsburgh by one run at that point.
1224
02:38:26,000 --> 02:38:34,000
The Pirates however came roaring right back with two runs in the seventh and five in the eighth and they won it.
1225
02:38:34,000 --> 02:38:37,000
He at that point put him up there 11 to 3.
1226
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:38,000
Pitch to cash.
1227
02:38:38,000 --> 02:38:40,000
Spike is gone.
1228
02:38:40,000 --> 02:38:44,000
And the fans now on the edge of the seats are rolling and going wild.
1229
02:38:44,000 --> 02:38:50,000
No balls one strike.
1230
02:38:50,000 --> 02:38:56,000
The call they're reading the sign from Manny San Gian the bucks after their fifth title in six years the pitch.
1231
02:38:56,000 --> 02:39:03,000
Check swing foul right side strike two and a scramble for that souvenir of a baseball or the ballgame.
1232
02:39:03,000 --> 02:39:11,000
It'll wrap it up for the Buccos at nineteen seventy five two weeks of looking around and then the head on collision and the shootout of all time.
1233
02:39:11,000 --> 02:39:14,000
Cincinnati and the Pittsburgh Pirates games one and two there.
1234
02:39:14,000 --> 02:39:20,000
Game three four and five if necessary here. You better be getting your tickets.
1235
02:39:20,000 --> 02:39:23,000
No balls two strikes to cash.
1236
02:39:23,000 --> 02:39:26,000
Two down on ninth inning Pittsburgh eleven Philadelphia three.
1237
02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:29,000
The pitch bouncing down to have no backs up.
1238
02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:32,000
That's the ball he throws the back side of the title.
1239
02:39:32,000 --> 02:39:38,000
No start your drops the ball.
1240
02:39:38,000 --> 02:39:44,000
They live yet and I call it prematurely.
1241
02:39:44,000 --> 02:39:50,000
The throw was low and heaven is drawing an error.
1242
02:39:50,000 --> 02:39:52,000
And that'll bring up Larry Bauer.
1243
02:39:52,000 --> 02:39:54,000
He went out on a comeback into the mountain.
1244
02:39:54,000 --> 02:39:58,000
He walked he bounced a short and he bounced the third.
1245
02:39:58,000 --> 02:40:07,000
So you see I started to tell you the Bucs are the champions of the National League East and Bingo they're not there yet.
1246
02:40:07,000 --> 02:40:11,000
That's the first time I've seen a throw by Richie go low.
1247
02:40:11,000 --> 02:40:18,000
He normally never makes an error on the throw and I think maybe just by winning the game.
1248
02:40:18,000 --> 02:40:37,000
Swing and a miss in his mind it's all over but I'm sure that it is.
1249
02:40:37,000 --> 02:40:45,000
No balls one strike.
1250
02:40:45,000 --> 02:40:50,000
That's a ball punched out into shallow left coming up for it as Robinson he can't get it.
1251
02:40:50,000 --> 02:40:55,000
It drops in and stepping on the second base is cash.
1252
02:40:55,000 --> 02:40:57,000
So they got two in a board.
1253
02:40:57,000 --> 02:41:04,000
Bauer gets a single Robinson of course playing out in left field.
1254
02:41:04,000 --> 02:41:09,000
And now we have who coming up.
1255
02:41:09,000 --> 02:41:31,000
It looks to me like it's Mike Rogozinski it is.
1256
02:41:31,000 --> 02:41:44,000
Left hand batting Mike Rogozinski.
1257
02:41:44,000 --> 02:42:06,000
Now ball.
1258
02:42:06,000 --> 02:42:09,000
No balls one strike two men aboard.
1259
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:22,000
And the pitch inside for a ball Pittsburgh leading 11 to 3 the Phillies here as a result of an error have life yet.
1260
02:42:22,000 --> 02:42:24,000
One ball one strike.
1261
02:42:24,000 --> 02:42:29,000
Rock hanging there.
1262
02:42:29,000 --> 02:42:39,000
One and one the pitch strike called.
1263
02:42:39,000 --> 02:42:52,000
Now we got a one ball two strike now.
1264
02:42:52,000 --> 02:42:59,000
Here we go and the one to pitch fly ball deep right for your back those pocket.
1265
02:42:59,000 --> 02:43:06,000
We are the champions of the National League.
1266
02:43:06,000 --> 02:43:11,000
That is the situation.
1267
02:43:11,000 --> 02:43:23,000
We have won it.
1268
02:43:23,000 --> 02:43:28,000
That one the National League championship.
1269
02:43:28,000 --> 02:43:33,000
And so we have come up with it.
1270
02:43:33,000 --> 02:43:38,000
At the right time.
1271
02:43:38,000 --> 02:43:44,000
And we'll tell you the Buccos win it 11 to 3.
1272
02:43:44,000 --> 02:43:47,000
All right ladies and gentlemen.
1273
02:43:47,000 --> 02:43:52,000
The Buccos have won the ball game and have won the National League Eastern Championship.
1274
02:43:52,000 --> 02:44:00,000
John Fitzpatrick will be along soon to talk with Jim Russo one of the great scouts in all of baseball to talk about the problems now confronting Pittsburgh.
1275
02:44:00,000 --> 02:44:05,000
Those problems are meeting the Cincinnati Reds because that is not an easy task.
1276
02:44:05,000 --> 02:44:08,000
They have earned that much of the right and we'll tell you about this one quickly.
1277
02:44:08,000 --> 02:44:14,000
Underwood Schuyler Simpson Hylgenberg Hildegandorf Garber Horner and Montague.
1278
02:44:14,000 --> 02:44:17,000
The winner will be for us case in the to call.
1279
02:44:17,000 --> 02:44:20,000
We will get to say it and under what will be the loser.
1280
02:44:20,000 --> 02:44:21,000
He's 14 and 13.
1281
02:44:21,000 --> 02:44:25,000
Parkers Homer and yet one on twenty five hundred and one runs red and in.
1282
02:44:25,000 --> 02:44:31,000
So the Pirates have won this ball game by the score of 11 to 3.
1283
02:44:31,000 --> 02:44:38,000
All right back at the River Stadium here where the Pirates have won the Eastern Division championship once more by beating the Philadelphia Phillies 11 to 3.
1284
02:44:38,000 --> 02:44:45,000
And they go into the playoffs against the Cincinnati Reds our guest tonight Jim Russo Super Scout for the Baltimore Orioles.
1285
02:44:45,000 --> 02:44:46,000
Nice to have you with us Jim.
1286
02:44:46,000 --> 02:44:47,000
What are your thoughts about the game tonight.
1287
02:44:47,000 --> 02:44:51,000
Well John it was a very impressive performance by the Pirates.
1288
02:44:51,000 --> 02:44:54,000
Nothing unusual however we know they can hit the ball.
1289
02:44:54,000 --> 02:44:58,000
I was particularly impressed by two things tonight.
1290
02:44:58,000 --> 02:45:04,000
And incidentally congratulations it was a fine effort and I wish we were in the same boat.
1291
02:45:04,000 --> 02:45:12,000
But two things that impressed me tonight was the way your left hand hitters touched up a very good left hand pitcher and Tom Underwood.
1292
02:45:12,000 --> 02:45:26,000
And in view of the fact that Cincinnati is putting a lot of hopes in Don Gullett I would have to say that it was very impressive tonight the way your left hand hitters were handling a pretty darn good left hand pitcher and Tom Underwood.
1293
02:45:26,000 --> 02:45:36,000
And secondly I thought you tell me came in and did a marvelous job and that certainly has to speak well of the Pirate bullpen for the coming playoffs.
1294
02:45:36,000 --> 02:45:45,000
The college has done a good job for us all year long or ever since he's been called up from Charleston West Virginia ballclub Jim Jim speaking about the Orioles how about their chances of catching the Red Sox.
1295
02:45:45,000 --> 02:45:51,000
I would have to say that they're to be very honest with you John I think they're rather remote.
1296
02:45:51,000 --> 02:46:09,000
We were three and a half games out and of course we didn't play tonight. We had an off night and Boston is in the process of defeating the New York Yankees so they'll gain a half a game which might make it around four games as we go into the final seven games of the season.
1297
02:46:09,000 --> 02:46:16,000
So it's a tough task. Our backs are up against the wall but we're playing very good baseball.
1298
02:46:16,000 --> 02:46:26,000
Boston just won't give up.
