00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
The Kansas City Royals faced the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium for a Sunday afternoon game on July 24th, 1983.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
The Royals entered the game with a 500 record under manager Dick Hauser.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
The Yankees, managed by Billy Martin, were fighting it out in the AL East with a 52-40 record.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,000
This is the infamous pine tar game, named for the controversial ending that involved Billy Martin protesting the condition of George Brett's bat.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:39,000
The protest was later overturned, and we've included the audio from the continuation ending that occurred nearly three weeks later at the end of this broadcast.

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:47,000
The recording is from the audio of the local sports channel in New York television broadcast, featuring announcers Frank Messer and Phil Rizzuto.

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Well, the ballgame just about ready to start. Quickly the lineup for visiting team, the Royals, Willie Wilson leading off, New Orleans, Washington batting second,

9
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,000
George Brett third, Hal McCrae fourth, Amos Otis batting fifth, batting sixth, the first baseman John Waffin.

10
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Then we'll get Leon Robertson left, Frank White at second, Don Slott catching, and we already have shown you, but black, the left-handed pitcher for the Kansas City Royals.

11
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Willie, here are the Yankee lineup, Bert Campanier, Greg Nettles, Lou Pennella, Don Baylor, Dave Winfield playing center field batting fifth, Steve Kemp, Steve Balboni, Roy Smalley, Rick Cerrone, and Shane Raleigh's first pitch is a foul out of play by Wilson.

12
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Wilson batting a 280, a home run, 20 runs batted in.

13
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:46,000
This is the final meeting this season between the Yankees and Kansas City, meeting number 12, the Yankees have won six and the Royals five.

14
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Shane Raleigh, Bobby Mercer has pitched well in his two starts against Kansas City in Kansas City. He beat them both times.

15
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:02,000
He's won both games. He's 2-0 against Kansas City and seems to have them pretty well tamed. We'll see what happens today.

16
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:10,000
He's done it mostly with fastball. Yeah, well, Shane, if he has any problems, I think it's more or less timing problems.

17
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000
He likes to pitch fast and he likes to get the ball and just turn around and throw it again.

18
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
It's been very impressive this year, even though he has a 9-8 record.

19
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Count remains one ball and two strikes on Willie Wilson. It'll be Wilson, UL Washington, and George Brett against Shane Raleigh.

20
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:37,000
You know what happens when John Amarante sings the national anthem. Yeah, we get 5 pounds worth.

21
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:45,000
You got to work out another week. Well, Rizzuto always gets the cannolis and then he sort of distributes them up here to the rest of our people.

22
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Here's a breaking ball that Wilson fouls off his left foot, and that smarts a bit.

23
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Hey, Willie Wilson wearing New Balance shoes. You don't see too many of those baseball spikes.

24
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000
I didn't even know New Balance made baseball spikes. They make a good running shoe.

25
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,000
That's a change up. Looks like there's room for Balboni and foul territory off first.

26
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Went away.

27
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Where New Balance tennis shoes once in a while. Pro players wear them all.

28
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:39,000
A lot of shoes around today. A competition of area. UL Washington, the shortstop. He's batting 233 with two home runs and 25 runs batted in.

29
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Got some nice syrup today from the Don Chacon family. It's a coin from up in Burlington, Vermont. A lot of Yankee fans up there.

30
00:03:49,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Washington takes the strike.

31
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Lifetime Raleigh with five wins, two losses against the Royals. That'll be out of play. No chance. It'll make the, uh, predict two strikes on UL Washington as we look at Rick Serrone.

32
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:22,000
By the way, Butch Weininger has a pool groin and he probably will not play unless there's an emergency this afternoon.

33
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
I don't think that, excuse me, Bill, I don't think that Shane Raleigh had really reached his full potential as a pitcher.

34
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I think he's still learning and we take a look at Butch Weininger there who has that slightly poor groin.

35
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And he caught him looking. A good fastball. Evidently, Washington either looked for a breaking ball or the ball away and he got the ball on the inside corner.

36
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Take a look at it here. It was a fastball that started on the inside part of the plate and was stayed on the inside part. I think that missed.

37
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:00,000
I think that missed. Well, when you got two strikes on you, you can't, uh, you got to become a defensive hitter up there. If anything close, you got to be hacking at it.

38
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
I think he caught you out Washington off guard. He might have also got Tim McLeod the home plate umpire off guard.

39
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Whatever it is, it's a big strikeout. McLeod behind the plate, Drew Cobol at first, Joe Brakeman at second and Nick Bremigan umpiring at third base.

40
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,000
And this is George Brett. He's hitting three fifty two nineteen home runs and sixty two runs batted in.

41
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:26,000
George is having a big home run year this year. He's got nineteen home runs. We take a look at it on our screen.

42
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
He usually hits about fifteen home runs and hits somewhere in the three eighty category as far as average is concerned.

43
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000
So he's having a big home run year this year. Yankees have pitched him away much of the series and he hasn't adjusted.

44
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,000
He sort of reached for the ball away instead of charging out there and getting it.

45
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Just like that. Yeah. I'll tell you what. In Yankee Stadium, there's no other place to pitch George Brett than away and let him hit it out there towards that four thirty sign.

46
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000
We can see George. Well, he has good weight shift and he would even on that was a change up and I'll speed pitch.

47
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:06,000
He would ride on it. One and two on Brett to watch nobody on just underway from the stadium.

48
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Shane Raleigh against the Bud Black and that's a base on that curve ball and Brett gets his base.

49
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:24,000
He'll hold it first base. That's the game first hit. Well, that pitch there also was a change up.

50
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,000
But our breaking pitch, excuse me, and it didn't break down and away from George Brett.

51
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,000
It just kind of hung up out over the plate and George just lines it right into center field.

52
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Here's how McCray, the designated hitter, he's batting three twenty seven and that'll.

53
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
In time, put out five three and the side is retired.

54
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,000
No runs a base hit and one man left on base at the end of one half inning of play.

55
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:06,000
The Royals nothing. The Yankees are coming up.

56
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Oh, back of the stadium, but Black will be pitching to the Yankees here in the bottom half of the first setting on the scoreboard.

57
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Nice league game. You the Montreal leading Houston to nothing early in the ballgame

58
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:29,000
and the Giants leading Pittsburgh one to nothing in the fifth inning.

59
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Well, Billy Yankees have got Greg Meadows back in the lineup now, so we assume that his bruised shoulder is all right.

60
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Still have three people on the disabled list. Ken Griffey, Willie Randolph and Rudy May.

61
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,000
I think they've all been working out and they all with possible exception.

62
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Rudy May might be ready to go, but their roster problems. Yeah, they got some more roster problems.

63
00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Also, Andre Robertson has a slightly bruised right hand and Oscar Gamble has a slight growing pool, too.

64
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000
So that'll gamble off the bench.

65
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Oscar, get on me for that. Yeah, so what I needed. Oh, you're right.

66
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Whatever that updates all the injuries on the Yankees. Oscar certainly would like more playing time when he plays.

67
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
He contributes. I don't blame him.

68
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Here's Bert Campanaro's leading off against.

69
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
But Black, we're playing the first inning of a scoreless ballgame.

70
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Campanaro's batting three forty seven, no home runs and six runs batted in.

71
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Bert did a fine job last night of filling in a third base for Greg Meadows.

72
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Here's Oscar. He's always happy.

73
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Happier, though, when he's getting a chance to swing the bat.

74
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
It's a ball and a strike on Campanaro's.

75
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000
You got to give Billy Martin a lot of credit for giving Bert Campanaro an opportunity to play baseball again.

76
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000
What an asset he has been to the Yankees. He's hitting three forty seven now.

77
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000
He's played like it. He's about twenty three years old.

78
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Says he loves the game. Figures he could play three or four more years.

79
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Well, I don't know ways playing right now. I wouldn't see why not.

80
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
He's an old fashioned type player. He gives himself up. He doesn't play for Campanaro's.

81
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:16,000
He plays for the team. He plays to the team and he plays to win.

82
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
You know, Washington has good range and he throws out Campanaro's.

83
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
That's a six to three put out for the first out.

84
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
We'll take a look at it again, Bill. That's a fastball up and in on Campy.

85
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Kind of got in on him a little bit.

86
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000
But Black makes a big leap, but could not come up with it.

87
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Was not hit that hard, but you know, Washington right behind the second base bag goes ahead and makes an easy play of it.

88
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Well, there's one down. Here's Greg Nettles, Yankee captain and third baseman hitting two seventy one with twelve home runs and forty one runs batted in.

89
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:55,000
At Montreal Houston game in the third inning, it's Montreal to Houston. Nothing.

90
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Ball one to Nettles. Nettles missed a couple of games with a sore shoulder as we look at the Yankee bench.

91
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Believe Martin to the forefront. Got a peek at his cap.

92
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Two balls, no strikes on Nettles.

93
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,000
I see Robin Yout will be lost for several days to the Milwaukee Brewers.

94
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
He has a lower back strain that will not help the Brewers.

95
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Brewers right now game behind the Yankees in the American League East.

96
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
See if Brett has room in foul territory. Looks like he does.

97
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Right on the top step of the dugout for out number two.

98
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Nettles fouls out to Royal third baseman George Brett.

99
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Got under. Yeah, he got under and he was just a little bit behind it.

100
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:54,000
And when you do that, you either hit a weak round ball towards the left side of the infield or you do what he did there.

101
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
He pops the ball up.

102
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Here's Luke Pennella batting a 3 0 6 to home run 16 runs batted in a little went 2 for 3 last night and he scored the Yankees first run.

103
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Everybody singing Pennella's praises for the job he's doing with the Yankee hitters this year.

104
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:23,000
They ought to because he's helped a lot of those guys out in the Yankee lineup as far as hitting is concerned.

105
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Lou doesn't mind talking hitting and he knows a lot about it.

106
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
And Pennella takes a strike.

107
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:38,000
You know, if you're a guy that's a good hitter and knows a lot about hitting, not a lot of times you can, you know, convey the words to another hitter that they'll understand.

108
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000
But Luke Pennella has that heart.

109
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
It's a ball on the strike on Pennella.

110
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
There's Yogi Berra, the Yankee first base coach and Hall of Famer over third base.

111
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Don Zimmer.

112
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
You think Lou will ever manage?

113
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Lou said he doesn't want to hang around baseball when it's over.

114
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
I don't believe him.

115
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
But that's what he said.

116
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
I don't believe him either.

117
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
You think he'd be a good manager?

118
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Yeah, because I think he he's tough enough.

119
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
He'll he's a yell at a screamer.

120
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
And then for the most part, those guys seem to make better managers.

121
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
They don't know if he's going to hit him with the batter or hit him with the fister.

122
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Two and two on Pennella.

123
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
We've got some of our Maratis Penolis up here.

124
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Bobby Mercer.

125
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Yeah. Yeah.

126
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Those things away from me, please.

127
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Give Jimmy Hunter some.

128
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Three balls on the strike on Pennella.

129
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Do that.

130
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Nobody on no score in the bottom of the first.

131
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,000
That'll be out of play.

132
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000
You know, even though the Yankees have a lot of injuries, Bill, and

133
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
with the depth and the bench that they have, they could just keep putting guys in there and never hurt themselves.

134
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
That's what they've done.

135
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:07,000
That is a that's a good point for a strong ballclub because in order to play 162 games and

136
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
win the championship, you've got to have a lot of bench strength.

137
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
The Yankees do have that.

138
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Well, I feel that in September that should be a big plus.

139
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Oh, absolutely.

140
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
And nobody should complain about being tired.

141
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Bread at third and Pirellas out and that'll retire the side.

142
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Three up, three down at the end of one.

143
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
The Yankees nothing and Kansas City.

144
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Nothing.

145
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:42,000
You know, Bill, eight of nine wins that Shane Raleigh has have been complete games.

146
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
He's a strong he's a strong young gentleman and he seems like he can just throw all day long.

147
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,000
He has a lot of pitches during a ballgame to live arm.

148
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Otis takes a strike.

149
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
We're in the second inning, no score.

150
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,000
It'll be Otis Wapen and Leon Roberts against Shane Raleigh.

151
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Did you get that can only down?

152
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Yeah.

153
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Otis batting 270 to home runs 24 runs batted in and a strike to Amazonas normally gets a good cut at left handers.

154
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Sometimes against right handers, he'll back off a little bit, but he likes left handers.

155
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Almost started that right hand up.

156
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Well, he went halfway.

157
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Yeah, I don't count.

158
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
No McClellan almost started up.

159
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Now watch, watch that right shoulder.

160
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Watch that right shoulder.

161
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Yeah, he had it halfway and a bitch got on him a little bit over the Yankee bench.

162
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:03,000
And good play by Balboni, Balboni with a good play of first.

163
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Glad to see Steve make that play.

164
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
The other day, a guy hit a ball past Balboni that hurt the Yankees.

165
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Well, that's kind of such a bad hop.

166
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:18,000
This was one of those do or die plays and it's just a one hop shot right to the left of Steve Balboni and he dives and makes an outstanding play.

167
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000
I think it didn't feel no matter what the situation is, it's got to always feel the ball is going to be hit to him.

168
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:30,000
And I think sometimes if a right handed batters up a first baseman has a tendency to relax a little bit.

169
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,000
You can't do that.

170
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
What you're saying is that you've got to be ready at all times.

171
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Yes.

172
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
John Waffin and he takes low ball one.

173
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Throw a little bit upset with that call. Well, you know, Balboni is a big guy, but he had good reaction on that play.

174
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Two balls, no strikes on Waffin. He's batting 272 with one home run and 24 runs batted in.

175
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,000
The Yankees on a hot streak with eight of their last nine and they're eight and two on his home stand.

176
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Three balls, no strikes on Waffin.

177
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
And it's three and one.

178
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:25,000
You know, if Shane Riley has a problem, it could be that he goes inconsistent too many times and he just hadn't figured out a way yet that when he is inconsistent that he can work his way out of a jam that he gets himself in.

179
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
And it'll happen normally one time a ballgame. You'll have one bad inning.

180
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Bad inning.

181
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
That'll be out of place.

182
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Rone giving chase, but it's well back in the seats.

183
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Three and two on John Waffin.

184
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:47,000
That's the reason I don't think that Shane Riley has reached his potential because as soon as you know he learns to work himself out of those jams when he becomes inconsistent.

185
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
We'll take a look at Gaylord Perry.

186
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
The guy that I call the old boy.

187
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000
That's why you're up here.

188
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Right. He almost drove me nuts.

189
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
This guy.

190
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,000
About three quarters away.

191
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Gone.

192
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:11,000
This is with the slider and that's the first walk of the ballgame Waffin at first base.

193
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
You got to really watch Wathen.

194
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:19,000
He looks like he cannot run, but he's an excellent base runner and he's an excellent base dealer.

195
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:26,000
They want to keep him. They want to make Wathen stop at first base because he takes like a running jump off of first base.

196
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Watching him start walking off there and.

197
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000
He's stolen 18 bases in 22 attempts this year.

198
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:40,000
He's usually when he tries to steal he usually is in motion before the pitchers even throw the ball to the plate.

199
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,000
This is Leon Roberts the left fielder who broke up Guidry's shutout bid last night with his third home run of the year.

200
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
And he had an idea of buddy.

201
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
But he got the bat back so it's a ball. What an Owen Roberts.

202
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Martin doesn't like that call.

203
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000
No I think Billy thought that he made an attempt to but we'll take a look at it here.

204
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,000
And yeah he kept it down there a long time.

205
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
That was one of those halfway deals again.

206
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
So we'll give.

207
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,000
We'll give the empire.

208
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,000
How to play. Oh and two.

209
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Well I tell you if they only missed two all game they've done a good job. Yep.

210
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:25,000
They have a lot of calls to make.

211
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Raleigh making sure Wathen stops at first base.

212
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:38,000
You've got to stop him over there because if you don't he'll just keep walking off that bag and the next thing you know he's gone.

213
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And a base it up the middle as Wathen was on the move and he'll go on to third base.

214
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:53,000
And the Royals on a Leon Roberts single have runners at first and third base with one away.

215
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Look like a hit run to me Bill we'll take a look at it.

216
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Wathen takes off on the pitch and the ball is out over the plate and Leon Roberts.

217
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,000
I'm almost positive it was a hit run and they executed it well.

218
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
And here's Frank White the second base.

219
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
He's hitting 246 with six home runs and 46 runs batted in.

220
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:22,000
We're in the second inning and the Royals are threatening and the change up the strike.

221
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
No score in the game.

222
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Yankees would like to turn to here on Frank White.

223
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:37,000
And that's out of play two strikes on White.

224
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Weather holding down the crowd somewhat.

225
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
First two games drew in excess of forty thousand each.

226
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,000
This game might be a little smaller the crowd.

227
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
One ball and two strikes on White.

228
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Yankees and Kansas City have always had a pretty good rivalry.

229
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Many times they played championship games and the Yankees used to kind of dominate them in championship games until 1980.

230
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
That could be two. There is one.

231
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Smalley better hurry did not make it a run score.

232
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Wathen scores and the Royals lead one to nothing on the four side at second base.

233
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Well Frank White has good speed and even though this ball was hit sharply to Burt Campaneras.

234
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,000
He coming up with the ball and going to go ahead and make the first play to Roy Smalley at second.

235
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:43,000
But with the speed of Frank White he beats out that play which allows a run to score and white to pick up a run batted in his forty seventh of the year and the Royals lead one to nothing.

236
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:50,000
And that'll bring on Don Slott to catch a two thirty nine hitter and he takes the ball.

237
00:20:50,000 --> 00:21:02,000
I think a hitter knows that when he's in a double play situation with a guy at third base I think in the back of their mind they know if they hit the double play they don't get that RBI makes them hustle down that line a little more.

238
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:13,000
The Yankees needed to there to get out of the ending without the run scoring and just missed it.

239
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:22,000
The ball on the strike on Don Slott.

240
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Well the Royals come out early doing their type of game.

241
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:37,000
That's how they play hitting and running and stealing bases and trying to force the opposing team to make mistakes.

242
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Well that play by Balboni at first base looms as large.

243
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
They could have had a real big inning going up.

244
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Bones he had to make that outstanding play.

245
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,000
That'll fall base it see if white will try to go to 30 will and but also will have to be under the cutoff man.

246
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
So slot got jammed for a looping single right.

247
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
White goes to third.

248
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Once again in the second inning the Royals that runners at first and third this time with two outs and Willie Wilson is the batter.

249
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Well Raleigh's made some pretty good pitches.

250
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000
He's just been a little unlucky.

251
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:20,000
He when he had the double play situation he made a Frank White hit the ball on the ground but they could not go ahead and complete it.

252
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
And he made a good pitch on slot there which he got jammed a little bit and just looped it out in the right field.

253
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Here's Wilson who followed the Balboni for the opening out of the ballgame.

254
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Strike one on Wilson.

255
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:02,000
And Raleigh will take it himself as Balboni went away from the bag and that'll retire the side.

256
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
The Royals pick up one run on two bases.

257
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
They leave two men on base at the end of one and a half.

258
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:22,000
The Royals lead the Yankees one to nothing.

259
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Don Baylor who Bobby Mercer has driven in the game winning run the last three Yankee wins.

260
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
He'll lead off against Bud Black.

261
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Baylor is 10 for 16 in his last four games.

262
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:46,000
So they're getting to hit that ball and hit it hard and get some good big key hits for the Yankees.

263
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Scott is batting average up to three oh one with eleven home runs and 44 runs batted in.

264
00:23:51,000 --> 00:24:03,000
And Baylor takes the strike.

265
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,000
One and one game winning run batted in last night for Baylor was his fifth of the year.

266
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Dave Winfield leads with twelve game winning runs batted in.

267
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Leon Roberts pounding the glove and left one away.

268
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,000
He just got under that ball Bill.

269
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:39,000
That ball is right there. He just happened to get underneath it.

270
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Dave Winfield had a day off yesterday.

271
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:49,000
He's back out today with his two fifty two batting average. It doesn't.

272
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Even though Dave has struggled a little bit lately the last two or three weeks he like you said he leads the American League in game winning RBI's with twelve.

273
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:06,000
And he is also tied in triples with seven along with Larry Herndon and Alfredo Griffin.

274
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:14,000
And he is sixth in the American League with sixty one runs batted in and he has 15 home runs.

275
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,000
So when he does get a hit it's been productive.

276
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Two balls no strikes on Winfield Royals leading one to nothing.

277
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:29,000
We're in the bottom of the second one out nobody on for the Yankees.

278
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
But black who started the season at Omaha.

279
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:38,000
He's won four lost three for the Royals since being called up.

280
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
That's a drive that will not be caught.

281
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,000
That is.

282
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Winfield anyone in the Yankee bullpen.

283
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Dave Winfield has just hit his 16th home run of the year and tied the ballgame up.

284
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
And you know what happens every time a Yankee hits home run.

285
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Hey Dave Winfield this bud's for you.

286
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:17,000
That ball might have gone into the enclosure that holds the monument and then we'll take a look out here reminds me of you when you hit from the left side.

287
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,000
I mean he didn't know this ball and he didn't hit it any air he hit it right on the line.

288
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,000
That ball goes all the way out in the left center and almost into the monuments.

289
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
I think it did go into the monuments out there.

290
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
I'd have to hit it twice to get it that far.

291
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
That's about 450.

292
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
So Winfield 16th home run.

293
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:41,000
We've got a 1 1 tie here in the second inning and Steve Kemp takes the ball.

294
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,000
I'm sorry I said that's the way you used to hit him from the left side.

295
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:52,000
You looked at me like you wanted to hit me.

296
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,000
And kept to a white at second bad hop but it's played and there to us.

297
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Oh he got all of that with and Dave is happy.

298
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Take a look at it here and see if we can see the ball went right in just dropped right in there where the monuments are.

299
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,000
I mean he nailed that ball.

300
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Yes he did.

301
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Whoo.

302
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And this fella can hit that ball in there to Steve Balboa a two thirty one hitter with two home runs and eight runs batted in.

303
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
He really hasn't gotten into a ball yet here at the stadium.

304
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:35,000
I've seen him hit some long balls and especially in the spring training but I've never so far since he's been in the big leagues with the Yankees.

305
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:49,000
I haven't really seen no one like you said that he's capable of Yankees one Royals one were in the bottom of the second and Balboni takes high.

306
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000
I think Balboni's pitch selection is becoming a little better.

307
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
He's not swinging wildly.

308
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:03,000
He's still swinging and missing but he's not swinging wildly anymore.

309
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
That's a foul ball off third.

310
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Well I've said it a few times and probably quit talking about it but Steve Balboni his out pitch is the breaking ball and like I said a little surprised that Steve has not adjusted to it a little more as many of breaking ball pitches that he's seen.

311
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,000
I think the key is not being able to play every day.

312
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
He's for him to adjust to that.

313
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,000
He's got to go out there day after day after day and see it in game situations.

314
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Well the only problem with that you might not be able to do that with the Yankees.

315
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:46,000
No two balls and a strike on Balboni.

316
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:52,000
You've got Mattingly at first base you've got smally at first base you've got Ken Griffey coming off the disabled is pretty soon.

317
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Who can also play first base.

318
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Popped up.

319
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Brett.

320
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:09,000
That's in foul territory and it's out number three the Yankees pick up a run on a Dave Winfield home run his 16th of the year.

321
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:20,000
At the end of two Yankees one and the Royals one.

322
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Third inning a 1 1 tie in the count on you all Washington is no balls on the strike.

323
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:38,000
One away.

324
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,000
You are Washington now 0 for 2 he has struck out and bounced out.

325
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:53,000
It was a high pitch he was trying to get on top of it he just got on top of a little too much.

326
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,000
And here's George bread who single up the middle in the first inning.

327
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
That's hitter in baseball.

328
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,000
George Brett.

329
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Yeah.

330
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
How about.

331
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,000
And I can't say it cruise the best hitter in baseball.

332
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
About that first baseman with Boston.

333
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:08,500
No.

334
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:09,000
You can sting it.

335
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:09,500
No.

336
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:10,000
No.

337
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,500
And Brett takes wide ball one.

338
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:15,000
When you get a guy that can hit

339
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,500
three fifty or close to four

340
00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:19,000
hundred and hit you twenty or

341
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,500
twenty five home runs and drive

342
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:21,500
you in ninety one hundred runs

343
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:23,000
that's what I call the best

344
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,000
hitter in baseball.

345
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
And the left center and one

346
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
field will let Kemp take charge

347
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,000
and their two outs.

348
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Who's the best hitter you've

349
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:35,500
ever seen.

350
00:30:36,500 --> 00:30:37,000
In baseball.

351
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,500
Who is.

352
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000
You've ever seen overall

353
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000
throughout your career as a.

354
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,500
Youngster maybe watching game.

355
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:43,000
I have to say.

356
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000
George Brett.

357
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:47,000
And before George Brett I'd

358
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
have to say Tony Oliva.

359
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
You see Ted Williams.

360
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:51,500
There did.

361
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:53,000
I know I didn't see Ted Williams.

362
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,000
You see Hank Aaron.

363
00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:57,000
Yeah I saw Hank Aaron.

364
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,000
You see Stan Musial.

365
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Didn't get to see Stan.

366
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Flat out hitting usual could hit.

367
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Just for flat out hitting.

368
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,000
And.

369
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Here's how McCrae.

370
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:10,000
He's been up once bounced to

371
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:12,000
I'm just talking about present

372
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
day players that you've seen and

373
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,000
been associated with.

374
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Even though a guy hits for an

375
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
average like Wade Boggs and Rod

376
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Carew they just don't they don't

377
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,000
hit that many home runs and they

378
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,000
don't drive that many runs in.

379
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,000
They're just an average hitter.

380
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000
They don't have all the

381
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
components that you need to be

382
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,000
an outstanding.

383
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Or the best hitter in baseball.

384
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,000
George Brett is.

385
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,000
In the game.

386
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
It's two balls no strikes on

387
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Macrae.

388
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
When one McCrae trying to pull

389
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,000
it doesn't often try to pull a

390
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
ball normally hits a ball to a

391
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,000
right center field.

392
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,000
It's two and one.

393
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
And that's high three balls and

394
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,000
a strike.

395
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
There's Macrae.

396
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Came from the Cincinnati Reds to

397
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
the Kansas City Royals quite a

398
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,000
few years ago and has really

399
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
done well in the American League.

400
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Ball for McCrae walks.

401
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
One thing when he was younger

402
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,000
McCrae used to be a threat to

403
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
steal but as he's gotten older he

404
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000
has stopped trying to steal

405
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Well he he's still got pretty

406
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
good speed and he will steal a

407
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
base here and there but like you

408
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
said he does not try to steal as

409
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
much now as he used to.

410
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,000
There might be a reason for that

411
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,000
to.

412
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,000
The cows are my now won't him

413
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
stealing too many bases to try

414
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000
to save himself.

415
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000
I don't know you never know.

416
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Amos Otis has been up once and

417
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Balboni made a fine play on his

418
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
ground ball was in the second

419
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
inning leading off strike one on

420
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Otis.

421
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Well the Reds lead the Mets

422
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
three nothing that ball game just

423
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,000
underway it's in the second

424
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,000
inning.

425
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,000
March off picked up another run

426
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,000
they lead Houston three nothing

427
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,000
in the fifth inning like two on

428
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Otis Raleigh just ran back and

429
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
throwing fastballs were in the

430
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000
top of the third a 1 1 tie

431
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,000
between the Yankees and the

432
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Kansas City Royals and time is

433
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
called there he is again stepping

434
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
He does that a lot.

435
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Does it too often if I were a

436
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,000
pitcher.

437
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
He don't like Jim music either.

438
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,000
No.

439
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Otis.

440
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
They're going to come inside but

441
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,000
a bit low.

442
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
One and two on Otis.

443
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Serone tried to steal the pitch

444
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
and Raleigh shakes his head.

445
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Well this is one of those

446
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,000
borderline pitches that just

447
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
happened to be down just a hair

448
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
below the knees.

449
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Minnesota is leading Cleveland

450
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
six to two that ball game in the

451
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
fifth inning as the American

452
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,000
League score has not come up on

453
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,000
the board.

454
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
It's two and two on a Masotas

455
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000
ex Yankee coach Mike for always

456
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,000
having who's the manager of the

457
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Cleveland and he's having some

458
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
problems on there for his first

459
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
rookie season as a manager.

460
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000
And Raleigh makes the catch out

461
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000
of retirement side.

462
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
No runs no hits a walk and a man

463
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,000
left on base.

464
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,000
We're going to the bottom half

465
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,000
the third inning.

466
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
The Yankees one Kansas City one

467
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
and Roy Smalley leads off against

468
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Bud Blacks Molly's batting 269

469
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
10 home runs 31 runs batted in

470
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,000
and the Yankees one.

471
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Good curve ball on the corner.

472
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,000
It'll be small a Rick's own and

473
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Bert Campaneras Yankees one run

474
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
on Dave Winfield's home run the

475
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Royals one run on three hits

476
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000

00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,000
game or any segment without the

00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,000
express written consent of the

489
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Yankees is prohibited.

490
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Two balls and a strike on Smalley

491
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,000
and the center Wilson with a late

492
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
jump but makes a catch.

493
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,000
He's got to get it.

494
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,000
He's got to get it.

495
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
He's got to get it.

496
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,000
He's got to get it.

497
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
He's got to get it.

498
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
With a late jump but makes a

499
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,000
He's got great speed.

500
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Only Willie Wilson can make a

501
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
play like that with the speed

502
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
that he has because Roy did not

503
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
it was one of those full swings

504
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000
and gets in on him a little bit

505
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Willie kind of took a step back

506
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,000
but with his tremendous speed

507
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
he's able to catch up with the

508
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000
ball and make a diving

509
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,000
outstanding catcher.

510
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
He's got to make a play that

511
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Otis has less ability than

512
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Wilson but Otis playing a deep

513
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,000
center field would never have

514
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,000
gotten to that ball.

515
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Now Otis does not have to say

516
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,000
anything about his ability but

517
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,000
he doesn't have the speed that

518
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Willie Wilson has.

519
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Here's Rick's own and that'll

520
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
look foul into the seats down the

521
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
The Royals have been trying for

522
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,000
a couple of years to move Wilson

523
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
from left field to center but

524
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
when they first proposed that

525
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
move by Amos Otis was upset by

526
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
it and he didn't like it and

527
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,000
he didn't want to be there.

528
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Well I don't know why he would

529
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
be would be there that upset

530
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000
because Willie Wilson definitely

531
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
can cover more ground than Amos

532
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Otis can but still when you move

533
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Amos Otis to right field he's

534
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
got the better arm or the two.

535
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,000
So right field would be more of

536
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,000
a position for Amos Otis with

537
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,000
the acquisition his arm out

538
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
So straight away center and

539
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000
there are two outs two outs

540
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
and the Yankees won and Kansas

541
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
City won and we'll start all

542
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
over again with Bert Campaneras.

543
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,000
You know you talk about Willie

544
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Wilson playing center field in

545
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Kansas City the ball doesn't

546
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,000
carry that well out there in

547
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Royal Stadium and with the speed

548
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
that Willie Wilson has and those

549
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
those balls that can hit be hit

550
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
in the gap out there he can run

551
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,000
right under and run them down

552
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Campaneras is all for one in the

553
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
game bounce to short his first

554
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,000
strike and he's going to come

555
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:38,000
up batting 344 two balls no

556
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,000
strikes on Campaneras Willie

557
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Wilson there he might have hurt

558
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,000
his shoulder when he's making a

559
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
diving catch out there trying to

560
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,000
keep it loose.

561
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,000
He's kind of hanging it down

562
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
there like it's bothering him

563
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
that's a strike laid on the

564
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
outside corner two and one on

565
00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Campaneras out of play upper deck

566
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,000
right side to and to I am sure

567
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,000
the the Yankee players have

568
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
noticed Wilson shaking his arm

569
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,000
out there and I'm pretty sure

570
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,000
the Royals will take another

571
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
look at it here as he makes that

572
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
catch and goes right down on his

573
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,000
elbow looks like he might have

574
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,000
jammed his arm up against his

575
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
shoulder his elbow.

576
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,000
I think you try to use that arm

577
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
to cushion his ball and that

578
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
took the impact out of play

579
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Campaneras boiling an excellent

580
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,000
pitch on the corner.

581
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,000
But if you notice something like

582
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,000
that and you are the Yankees and

583
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,000
he stays in the ballgame and

584
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
he's not that bad and you're a

585
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,000
baserunner you can maybe take an

586
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,000
extra base on because he won't

587
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,000
be able to throw the ball that

588
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,000
well you watch him see if he's

589
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
going to throw between innings

590
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,000
when he goes out next inning

591
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,000
just the little things.

592
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Yeah he's still he acts like

593
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,000
he's in pretty good pain out

594
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,000
there.

595
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:02,000
He might not continue this game

596
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
there's Dick Houser.

597
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,000
He don't seem to be too

598
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
I'm sure he'll ask Billy Wilson

599
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,000
when he comes in after the

600
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
ending is over.

601
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
They said let's see how Wilson

602
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,000
gets a ball in here Bobby.

603
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,000
He's sort of holding that.

604
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,000
That hurts a little bit.

605
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Yeah it hurts him a little bit.

606
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,000
I think Willie would probably I

607
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000
am surprised as much as Willie

608
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,000
has done that that the trainer

609
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
from the Royals has not gone out

610
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,000
and talked to him.

611
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Maybe they don't feel he's

612
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,000
hurting or can hurt.

613
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Well by watching his actions he

614
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:42,000
looks like he's hurt pretty good.

615
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Well Campanera singles up the

616
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,000
middle with two outs that'll

617
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
bring on Greg Nettles who's been

618
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,000
up once and fouled out scores

619
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
tied 1 1 here in the third strike

620
00:39:51,000 --> 00:40:03,000
went on Nettles.

621
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000
You know Wilson's a former

622
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
football player too and he he's

623
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000
got to really hurt to hurt

624
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
him.

625
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Football players a lot more than

626
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
baseball players are used to

627
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
playing her.

628
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
There's a trainer of the Royals

629
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
I think he's on that top step

630
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,000
waiting for Willie Wilson to

631
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000
come back in after the inning.

632
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
You know Nettles started the

633
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,000
season with a mustache he's

634
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
since shaved it off.

635
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000
He went into kind of a slump

636
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,000
about a month ago and he blamed

637
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000
it on a mustache.

638
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Well he decided to change a few

639
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,000
things around maybe because of

640
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,000
the mustache.

641
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,000
No I don't think that was true.

642
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
In fact that pit that pitch right

643
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
there if he had the mustache he

644
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
got shaven right there.

645
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
One and two on Nettles with two

646
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,000
outs that was going right for the

647
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
mustache.

648
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Campanella is at first base a 1 1

649
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
tie and black wants to keep

650
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,000
camp in his close to first hit

651
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,000
by camp in errors the Yankees

652
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000
second against the left hander

653
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,000
the first one a big hit.

654
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Winfield 16th home run of the

655
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000
year tying the ballgame up in

656
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:13,000
the second base.

657
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
You might look for Campanella

658
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
to take a chance and steal this

659
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,000
base.

660
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Greg Nettles has got one ball

661
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,000
and two strikes so he's in the

662
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
hole against the pitcher but

663
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000
black.

664
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
He might take a chance or camp

665
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000
he might take a chance to try

666
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000
to steal the base.

667
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Whoa.

668
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Two and two on Nettles.

669
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,000
There's Zimmer Don Zimmer the

670
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,000
third base coach who would give

671
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
the stop sign to camp in errors.

672
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000
I understand some Yankees have

673
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,000
the green light all the way.

674
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
The only time that they cannot

675
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
run is when Billy Martin puts up

676
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,000
the red light.

677
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Otherwise they can run whenever

678
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:52,000
they want.

679
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
There's three things they'll

680
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
they're either on their own

681
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,000
either Billy gives them the sign

682
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,000
to go on that particular pitch

683
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
or like you said he puts up the

684
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
stop sign doesn't want them going

685
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:10,000
at all.

686
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,000
He's going this time but is it

687
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,000
right back to black and that'll

688
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
retire the side.

689
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
No runs a base hit the man left

690
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,000
on base on the McDonald's

691
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,000
scoreboard to score at the end of

692
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,000
three.

693
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
The Yankees won the Kansas City

694
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Royals one.

695
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Let's pause 10 seconds along the

696
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Yankee baseball network for

697
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:40,000
station identification.

698
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,000
I John Watson who walked and

699
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,000
scored his first time up is the

700
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
batter and swings and misses its

701
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,000
strike two.

702
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Where's Bobby Mercer.

703
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Just want to show you this Bobby

704
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
this little boy was named after

705
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,000
you Bobby Ray Erda.

706
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Isn't that a cute picture.

707
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,000
He's got a Yankee uniform on.

708
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,000
He was born on June 22nd 1983

709
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,000
seven pounds two ounces.

710
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Looks just like Bobby said.

711
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,000
And his parents are great Yankee

712
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,000
fans and wanted their first child

713
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,000
if a boy named after their

714
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,000
favorite player.

715
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,000
They didn't know how to spell

716
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,000
resuto so they said Bobby Ray

717
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Mercer foul back.

718
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,000
It's two and two and you know

719
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,000
where that's from the Bingham

720
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Ten area and we got met.

721
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,000
We got such great Yankee fans up

722
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
there.

723
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Oh you got to go up and see Matt

724
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Botnick and Scottie Gow and all

725
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,000
the Yankee fans up there.

726
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000
I tell you they love you.

727
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,000
They said rip the right center

728
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,000
field by Wathen and Winfield

729
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,000
ready to fire it in in a hurry.

730
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Wathen takes the little

731
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,000
protector off fourth hit for the

732
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Royals and Leon Roberts the

733
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,000
batter and a man just as big if

734
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,000
not bigger than Leon Roberts is

735
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,000
sitting next to me Frank message.

736
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Are you bigger than Leon Roberts.

737
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Well I have to look up Robert's

738
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,000
size here scooter and tell you

739
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,000
in just a moment.

740
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000
All right.

741
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,000
A 1 1 ballgame on a tremendous

742
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:28,000
home run by Dave Winfield wrote

743
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
a first but he's back.

744
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,000
I got Leon by about an inch.

745
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,000
OK then I'm right for a change.

746
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,000
All right.

747
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Robert who had a home run

748
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,000
yesterday chewing on that

749
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000
tobacco foul in and out of the

750
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Yankee dugout and there goes

751
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Gamble wave in a towel.

752
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Oscar's got a groin ball he

753
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
almost had a lump from the line

754
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,000
drive.

755
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Let's see that's Milborne next

756
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,000
to him.

757
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Yeah.

758
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,000
A lot of little nagging injuries

759
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
on the Yankee club scooter and

760
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
wine to go with a groin ball.

761
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Oh there's Sammy Ellis the

762
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,000
pitching coach going out.

763
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Hope that Raleigh didn't do

764
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
anything.

765
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,000
I hope not cause Robert split his

766
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
bat went back for a new bat and

767
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000
maybe Sammy's telling them about

768
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Watson at first we remark what a

769
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,000
great base theory is especially

770
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,000
for a catcher and maybe he wants

771
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,000
him to shorten that kick.

772
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,000
OK.

773
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,000
They got Jay Howler do it very

774
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,000
well Frank.

775
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Yeah they really have a short

776
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,000
net kick bring the pitch release

777
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,000
perhaps just a little quicker.

778
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Yep.

779
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,000
You know last time Watson was on

780
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000
scooter they had a hit and run

781
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,000
He got such a great break had

782
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Roberts not swung at the pitch

783
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Watson would have stolen second

784
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,000
without sliding you're right.

785
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,000
One strike and they want to keep

786
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,000
them close.

787
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,000
But you watch the way Raleigh

788
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,000
lifts that leg and if you time

789
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,000
it just right get some jump.

790
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,000
There he goes.

791
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Check swing foul.

792
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Yep.

793
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
He double swung and he hit his

794
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,000
back twice.

795
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Yes.

796
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Only counts as one strike though

797
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Yeah only counts as one strike

798
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,000
and even though the ball wound

799
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000
up fair ground it was well and

800
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000
again Watson had that excellent

801
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,000
He really did.

802
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,000
He had a big lead.

803
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,000
He would have had the base

804
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,000
stolen again at Roberts not

805
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,000
smart.

806
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Unbelievable for a catcher broke

807
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000
the record for a stolen bases

808
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
for a catcher last year and he

809
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,000
stole an 18 this year and 22

810
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:28,000
drives slice foul.

811
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,000
He quick pitched him a little

812
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000
bit that time but I hope it

813
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,000
doesn't affect Raleigh's

814
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
pitching a lot of times when you

815
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,000
concentrate on getting rid of

816
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,000
the ball quickly you don't have

817
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,000
as much on it.

818
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Well you better have it on it

819
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,000
with Roberts he's hit a home

820
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,000
run in this area.

821
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,000
He's strong.

822
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Bouncer in the hole by Campanaro

823
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
and Watson's going to go to

824
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
third and he's going to make it

825
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,000
and a throw to second he's out

826
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,000
at second base.

827
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,000
All right.

828
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Great play by Greg Nettles.

829
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,000
He knew he couldn't get the

830
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,000
runner at third Frankie went out

831
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,000
and got the ball and fired it

832
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,000
to small you put the tag on him.

833
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Let's watch it again.

834
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,000
This is a good play.

835
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,000
The pitch is up.

836
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,000
I don't know how Roberts beat

837
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,000
that ball down on the ground.

838
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,000
First of all Campanaro's cannot

839
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,000
get it but now watch Pennella.

840
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,000
He throws it all away on the

841
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
fly which helps Nettles.

842
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Here's Watson coming into

843
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,000
right right.

844
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,000
He's in there.

845
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Nettles now moves out for the

846
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
throw and rips it back to

847
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,000
second base and there's the tag

848
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000
applied by Smalley as Roberts is

849
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,000
out at second.

850
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,000
It'll be a single and he is out

851
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,000
nine five six five.

852
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Frank White and Yankees have the

853
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,000
infield in a 1 1 ballgame.

854
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,000
White bounce the second first

855
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,000
time up.

856
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,000
Oh he had a way off stride with

857
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,000
that change.

858
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Strike one.

859
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000
That's one reason I think that

860
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Raleigh has been really more

861
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000
effective as a starting pitcher

862
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,000
than he was as a reliever because

863
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,000
he will throw that change as a

864
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,000
starter when he came out of the

865
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,000
bullpen he'd never use the

866
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,000
change right.

867
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,000
Oh he got him.

868
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Yes sir.

869
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,000
He swung at that.

870
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,000
It's 0 and 2.

871
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000
He tried to check it but

872
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:16,000
couldn't do it.

873
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,000
There it is pitchers almost in

874
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,000
the dirt.

875
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000
He had a completely full some

876
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,000
hitters get a little over

877
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,000
anxious with runners on and the

878
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,000
infield in just missed.

879
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Oh that was close.

880
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,000
As the score 1 and 1 the Royals

881
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,000
with five hits the Yankees with

882
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:39,000
two and as Wathen at third we

883
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,000
told you is an excellent base

884
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:45,000
runner bounce and Nettles makes

885
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
a great play but it'll be a base

886
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,000
hit.

887
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,000
He would not have been able to

888
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,000
get Wathen at home it was right

889
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,000
over the bag.

890
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,000
It'll be a base hit and the

891
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Royals lead 2 to 1.

892
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Well that's white second RBI and

893
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Wathen second run scored here

894
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,000
it is again.

895
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Hard shot right down the line

896
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,000
that was knocks it down holds it

897
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,000
to a single by knocking the ball

898
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,000
down but the run will score and

899
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
it's a basic.

900
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
So the Royals take a 2 to 1 lead

901
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
here in the top of the fourth one

902
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,000
man out and they'll have to keep

903
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,000
an eye on white here is Don

904
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Slott the catcher single right

905
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,000
his first time up.

906
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Another base hit ripped to left

907
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,000
field and that's the seventh

908
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,000
base hit for the Royals and

909
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,000
almost looks like a replay of

910
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Ray Fontana's game Frank when

911
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,000
they started hitting the young

912
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,000
left hander.

913
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Yep.

914
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,000
And the bullpen will go to work.

915
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,000
That is Dale Murray who will

916
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,000
start drawing four hits here in

917
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,000
the inning.

918
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,000
The only man retired has been

919
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,000
Robert's trying to stretch a

920
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,000
well not trying to stretch a

921
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,000
single into a double trying to

922
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,000
advance from first base to

923
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,000
second following his base hit on

924
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,000
a throw to third and Dale Murray

925
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,000
has done an excellent job

926
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
Frank in his last two outings at

927
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,000
least.

928
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Well they've changed his

929
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,000
mechanics around he pitches

930
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,000
completely off the stretch

931
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,000
position although he winds up

932
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,000
when he warms up in the bullpen

933
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Willie Wilson has popped the

934
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,000
first and bounced back to the

935
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:24,000
pitcher one out.

936
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,000
It's like all the Royals like to

937
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,000
leave two of their buttons open

938
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,000
on their shirts.

939
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Wow.

940
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Got a little bit of sarong there.

941
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,000
Yeah they do.

942
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Well the Yankee has been a

943
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,000
Yankee tradition over the years

944
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,000
to leave one one up and yeah

945
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,000
like every one of them at those

946
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,000
two buttons open Willie's a

947
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:53,000
bubblegum sure and blower

948
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,000
caponeras broke for the bag so

949
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Raleigh steps off the mound

950
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,000
talking about Watham a moment

951
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Scooter he stole thirty six

952
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
bases last year and broke Ray

953
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Shocks record for stolen bases

954
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,000
by a catcher.

955
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Hmm.

956
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Shock stole 30 and had the

957
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,000
record until last year a bunt

958
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,000
bounced up and hit him.

959
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Sharon said it hit him in fair

960
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,000
territory.

961
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000
The plane on fire says no and

962
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
that is a very difficult play to

963
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,000
call.

964
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Well the plane on fire doesn't

965
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,000
call that place good or that's

966
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,000
called by Joe Brakeman that

967
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,000
second and Brakeman made the call

968
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,000
right away.

969
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,000
I don't believe he was out of

970
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,000
the box Frank.

971
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,000
He's fast but he's not that

972
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
fast.

973
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,000
You see that.

974
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,000
Right there he's in the box.

975
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Now you see at the top of your

976
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,000
screen second base on fire

977
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Brakeman waving a foul.

978
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
It's Brakeman's call as the

979
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
plate umpire is blocked out on

980
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,000
it.

981
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Billy does.

982
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Well he he can argue but he does

983
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,000
not have a valid point to argue

984
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:50,000
there.

985
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,000
It's a very deceiving play.

986
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,000
Now if Wilson had been on home

987
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Blake he would have been out.

988
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,000
He would have been out because

989
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
home plate is in fair territory

990
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,000
of course.

991
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,000
But I believe he was still in

992
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,000
the batter's box and I think the

993
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,000
replay show I do too Frank.

994
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,000
I had own two on Willie Wilson

995
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,000
played on fire put two hands up

996
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,000
in the air but he was saying I

997
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,000
don't know.

998
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Right.

999
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,000
So Rowan jumped up and Rick

1000
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,000
never knew where the ball went.

1001
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,000
He was looking up in the air

1002
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:21,000
down third outside and Serone

1003
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,000
bluffs a throw to first and

1004
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:42,000
diving back a slot.

1005
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,000
I had one ball two strikes one

1006
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,000
out.

1007
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Royals leading two to one just

1008
00:52:49,000 --> 00:53:05,000
outside two and two struck come

1009
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,000
out.

1010
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Good pitch by Shane Raleigh

1011
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,000
who strikes out the tough Willie

1012
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Wilson.

1013
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,000
It is again this pitch I believe

1014
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,000
will be out of the strike zone

1015
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,000
low.

1016
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Yep.

1017
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,000
As Wilson tried to uppercut the

1018
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,000
ball Raleigh gets a big big

1019
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,000
strikeout there.

1020
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,000
That's his second of the ball

1021
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,000
game and here's the other man

1022
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000
he struck out U.L. Washington

1023
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,000
was struck out and bounced his

1024
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,000
second.

1025
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,000
You know it surprises me scooter

1026
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
that Willie Wilson leads the

1027
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,000
Royals in strikeouts.

1028
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,000
No kidding.

1029
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Yeah.

1030
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,000
We know he's swinging a lot

1031
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,000
of the ball.

1032
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,000
He's got a lot of power.

1033
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,000
He's got a lot of power.

1034
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:43,000
He's got a lot of power.

1035
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,000
He's got a lot of power.

1036
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,000
He's got a lot of power.

1037
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Frank and he is pressed right

1038
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,000
one.

1039
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,000
I don't see why I don't either.

1040
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,000
He's not a home run hitter.

1041
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000
His home runs will be inside the

1042
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,000
park.

1043
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,000
He'll lay out his home runs and

1044
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:58,000
he has struck out now 52 times

1045
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,000
U.L. Washington with the

1046
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,000
proverbial toothpick.

1047
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000
I used to know guys Frank that

1048
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,000
had a gold toothpick.

1049
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Don't ever mess around with a

1050
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,000
toothpick.

1051
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,000
He says whoever used a gold

1052
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,000
toothpick had wooden teeth.

1053
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000
That was George Washington

1054
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:23,000
outside one on one.

1055
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Toothpick Jones.

1056
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Yeah.

1057
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,000
He go through a box of my ball.

1058
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,000
That's right.

1059
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,000
He used to pitch because you've

1060
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,000
got to bear down every time you

1061
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
throw your break one just about

1062
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,000
they say the mound would have a

1063
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,000
little pile of broken to the

1064
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,000
place after the game.

1065
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,000
I never saw him pitch though.

1066
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000
He's got to be a good pitcher.

1067
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,000
And that should do it.

1068
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,000
And now it goes back back and

1069
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,000
falls down and holds on to the

1070
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,000
ball.

1071
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Holy cow.

1072
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,000
Penelope saw Mumford do that

1073
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:50,000
yesterday.

1074
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,000
It looks so good on TV.

1075
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Lose this side and watch this.

1076
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,000
Oh man.

1077
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,000
And the score now at the end of

1078
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,000
three and a half is the Royals

1079
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,000
two and the Yankees one.

1080
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
I don't know how he held out on

1081
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,000
it.

1082
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,000
He's got to be Penelope made

1083
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
that sensational falling catch

1084
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
all twinkle toes out there.

1085
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Frank watch it.

1086
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Here it is again.

1087
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,000
But I'll ask to dig back.

1088
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,000
He was playing the hitter very

1089
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,000
shallow and right there as he

1090
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,000
hits the warning track his foot

1091
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,000
slips but he makes the catch as

1092
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,000
he hits the deck rolls over

1093
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,000
hangs on Mumford.

1094
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Same thing in last night's ball

1095
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,000
game.

1096
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Yep.

1097
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Exactly the same.

1098
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,000
And they both caught the ball

1099
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,000
and Penelope who bounced his

1100
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:39,000
third his first time up.

1101
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Well lead it off Yankees trail

1102
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:55,000
to the one.

1103
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Let's see what stance he uses

1104
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,000
this time.

1105
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Scooter.

1106
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,000
All right.

1107
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,000
You had a number last time

1108
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Frank.

1109
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Well he started out with five

1110
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,000
forty one and changed it to

1111
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,000
seventy two.

1112
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,000
All right.

1113
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Let's see.

1114
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,000
He doesn't like anyone

1115
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,000
comfortable.

1116
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,000
You're absolutely right.

1117
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
You know he's got to be exactly

1118
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,000
comfortable and in time his

1119
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,000
swing forward come up and takes

1120
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,000
it outside and high ball one.

1121
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,000
He just before the pitch came he

1122
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,000
moved the left foot just a

1123
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,000
little bit.

1124
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Yep.

1125
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Very few hitters can change

1126
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,000
stances as often as Penelope

1127
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,000
does.

1128
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,000
He's got to continue to hit

1129
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,000
well.

1130
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,000
But I think the important thing

1131
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,000
is to be comfortable at the

1132
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,000
plate.

1133
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Bounces it foul nice play done

1134
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Zimmer old shortstop.

1135
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,000
As ever a man of many

1136
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,000
positions.

1137
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Yes.

1138
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,000
I shouldn't say he played a

1139
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,000
short second third even caught a

1140
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,000
little bit.

1141
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Yep.

1142
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,000
He bounced that straight down

1143
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,000
the line.

1144
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Black on the mound black is not

1145
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,000
a strikeout pitcher.

1146
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,000
Oh rip the left field but

1147
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:22,000
curving foul.

1148
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,000
Look at Lou.

1149
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,000
I said it.

1150
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,000
Lose says that's my best shot.

1151
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Why does it have to be foul.

1152
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,000
I mean it's a good shot.

1153
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,000
You know getting back to Don

1154
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Zimmer.

1155
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,000
You mentioned shortstop.

1156
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,000
He got third he played second

1157
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,000
he caught.

1158
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:38,000
He also played first.

1159
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,000
No kidding.

1160
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,000
He played left field right

1161
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,000
field center field and pitched.

1162
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,000
He played all position and he's

1163
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,000
coached and he's managed.

1164
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,000
Yep.

1165
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:47,000
Look at him.

1166
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Don Zimmer and he loves to talk

1167
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,000
baseball.

1168
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,000
He'll chew your ear off.

1169
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,000
He'll talk day and night.

1170
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Great story teller is Mr.

1171
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Zimmer.

1172
00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:59,000
He's got a good curve that

1173
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Penelope golf and he is one of

1174
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,000
the best low ball hitters in

1175
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,000
baseball.

1176
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Mr. Penelope.

1177
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Yep.

1178
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Another thought on Mr. Zimmer.

1179
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,000
He married his childhood

1180
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,000
sweetheart.

1181
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Now we'll watch Penelope swing

1182
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,000
at this one that curve ball he

1183
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,000
ripped in Elmira New York at

1184
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,000
home plate home plate.

1185
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,000
They used to do that a lot in

1186
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,000
the minor leagues.

1187
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:21,000
It really helped because you

1188
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,000
never had any money playing in

1189
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,000
the minor leagues in those days

1190
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,000
and they'd outfitch anyway give

1191
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,000
you furniture.

1192
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,000
He's got a good curve.

1193
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,000
He's got a good curve.

1194
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,000
He's got a good curve.

1195
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:31,000
He's got a good curve.

1196
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Bounces it over the pitchers

1197
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,000
head but you well Washington

1198
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,000
quick flip has got him one away.

1199
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,000
It's one of the few times you'll

1200
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,000
see Penelope reach for a low

1201
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,000
outside pitch and pull it.

1202
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,000
There it is again bouncing over

1203
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,000
black but Washington is a good

1204
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,000
shortstop.

1205
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,000
You say he may be a little bit

1206
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,000
underrated.

1207
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,000
And so yes as a fielder yes as a

1208
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:56,000
fielder.

1209
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,000
But he's not going to have to

1210
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:58,000
run away.

1211
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,000
He's hitting so low switch hitter

1212
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,000
he should be right up in the

1213
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,000
two seventies as fast as he can

1214
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,000
run down bail a flight the left

1215
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,000
first time up ball one.

1216
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,000
I got a card our organist is the

1217
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,000
young man from Philadelphia area

1218
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,000
filling in Freddie Leighton.

1219
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,000
What's his name Paul Richards

1220
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,000
Paul Richards fouled back and

1221
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:20,000
out of play he's played two

1222
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,000
Italian numbers for the last two

1223
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:23,000
hitters Penelope and Bela.

1224
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,000
I don't know whether he's

1225
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,000
confused or he thinks it's good

1226
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,000
to have a good pitch at the

1227
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,000
bottom of the fourth round.

1228
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,000
It's a good pitch for the

1229
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Rondy one of them on the count

1230
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,000
and the Yankees trail by one

1231
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,000
here in the bottom of the fourth

1232
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,000
pretty good pitch that time by

1233
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,000
black right in on the hands one

1234
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,000
ball two strikes.

1235
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
He's got a good pitch open up

1236
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,000
was pitchers do make mistakes.

1237
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,000
They do.

1238
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
This kid has not walked anybody

1239
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,000
and we mentioned he is not the

1240
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,000
strikeout type a little low to

1241
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,000
and to get pitch a good game

1242
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:12,000
against the Yankees on Kansas

1243
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,000
City.

1244
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,000
He went nine innings gave up two

1245
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,000
runs six hits walk for and

1246
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,000
struck out two and the Royals

1247
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,000
won that game and extra innings

1248
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:22,000
he did not get the decision

1249
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,000
to go to the bottom of the fourth

1250
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,000
round.

1251
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,000
He's got a good pitch.

1252
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,000
Ball out of play in the upper

1253
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,000
deck.

1254
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,000
Johnny Mano gets 70 years old

1255
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,000
today.

1256
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:51,000
Happy birthday Johnny a bouncer

1257
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,000
and he's got a good pitch.

1258
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,000
He's got a good pitch.

1259
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,000
He's got a good pitch.

1260
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,000
He's got a good pitch.

1261
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,000
He's got a good pitch.

1262
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,000
He's got a good pitch.

1263
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,000
He's got a good pitch.

1264
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,000
So a Don turn around a look at

1265
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,000
what the umpire called him but

1266
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,000
he was out.

1267
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,000
That is again.

1268
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,000
White has to back up that ball

1269
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,000
was hit toward the middle and he

1270
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,000
doesn't get a whole lot on the

1271
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,000
throw but there is an up look

1272
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,000
like Wathen got stepped on

1273
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,000
almost very close.

1274
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,000
Well here he is.

1275
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Dave Winfield gave him a day's

1276
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,000
rest of the day's rest of the

1277
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,000
day's rest of the day's rest of

1278
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,000
that game in the night's

1279
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,000
rest of the game.

1280
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,000
So a good ending order.

1281
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,000
All right.

1282
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,000
A little angry at not being in

1283
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:31,000
the number four spot.

1284
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:33,000
Hope he's still mad.

1285
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,000
One.

1286
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Look at Dave.

1287
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,000
He thought that pitcher was

1288
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,000
going to be inside.

1289
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:41,000
You know it.

1290
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,000
He was.

1291
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,000
It was a little bit but not a

1292
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,000
knock down pitch.

1293
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,000
No.

1294
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,000
A purpose pitch as they call it

1295
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,000
that home run what do you say

1296
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,400
I've seen all year and one of

1297
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:51,300
the hardest I've ever seen.

1298
01:01:51,340 --> 01:01:53,300
Yes because it was a line drive

1299
01:01:53,340 --> 01:01:55,340
and for it to carry that far

1300
01:01:56,380 --> 01:01:58,440
carry the fence and hit right

1301
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,120
back where the monuments are

1302
01:02:00,980 --> 01:02:11,060
unbelievable poke right one to

1303
01:02:11,060 --> 01:02:12,820
one two out nobody on bottom of

1304
01:02:12,820 --> 01:02:14,420
the fourth Royals leading two to

1305
01:02:14,420 --> 01:02:31,800
one right to the shortstop and

1306
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:33,340
Washington throws him out.

1307
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,300
So three ground outs that inning

1308
01:02:35,940 --> 01:02:37,740
at the end of four it's the

1309
01:02:37,740 --> 01:02:47,480
Royals two in the Yankees one well

1310
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:48,680
we move on to the fifth inning

1311
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:49,680
here at Yankee Stadium the

1312
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:50,940
Royals lead two to one and

1313
01:02:50,940 --> 01:02:52,220
George Brett will be the lead

1314
01:02:52,220 --> 01:02:53,720
off batter that Hal McCrae and

1315
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:55,620
Amos Otis against Shane Raleigh

1316
01:02:55,620 --> 01:02:55,920
scooter.

1317
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,480
All right Frank and Brett is one

1318
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,180
for two is single center and

1319
01:03:00,180 --> 01:03:02,920
flying to left Yankee pitching

1320
01:03:03,060 --> 01:03:04,800
scooby Yankee pitching has done

1321
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:05,920
a pretty good job on Brett in

1322
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:06,460
this series.

1323
01:03:06,460 --> 01:03:07,720
He's got a good shot.

1324
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:08,860
He's got a good shot.

1325
01:03:09,100 --> 01:03:10,300
He sure have grounded his

1326
01:03:10,300 --> 01:03:13,400
shorts Molly throws him out one

1327
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:14,000
away.

1328
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,500
Brett is now three for 16 in the

1329
01:03:16,500 --> 01:03:17,000
series.

1330
01:03:17,140 --> 01:03:19,340
That's unbelievable the way he

1331
01:03:19,340 --> 01:03:20,100
swings that bad.

1332
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:25,400
Roy was touched up for seven

1333
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:29,420
hits for them last inning.

1334
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,520
A designated hitter but the

1335
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,380
Royals scored only one run his

1336
01:03:34,380 --> 01:03:36,620
first pitch in the series.

1337
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:45,800
Full foul on a good change

1338
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:46,560
strike one.

1339
01:03:47,260 --> 01:03:48,700
And how about that pitching job

1340
01:03:48,700 --> 01:03:50,060
by Ron Guidry last night.

1341
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,640
I tell you Frank that's the

1342
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,640
Louisiana Lightning of 78.

1343
01:03:53,700 --> 01:03:54,500
Wasn't it though.

1344
01:03:54,900 --> 01:03:56,600
He came on so strong in those

1345
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:57,340
late innings.

1346
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:03,280
I won him on he struck out eight

1347
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:04,540
and one.

1348
01:04:04,780 --> 01:04:06,680
Fly ball center field Winfield

1349
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,880
coming on makes the catch.

1350
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,020
I tell you it doesn't look like

1351
01:04:11,020 --> 01:04:12,680
Winfield's moving but with those

1352
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,560
strides of his he eats up the

1353
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:15,160
ground.

1354
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,220
How about that divot that Willie

1355
01:04:19,220 --> 01:04:21,060
Wilson dug up out there.

1356
01:04:21,100 --> 01:04:21,320
Yeah.

1357
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:22,760
That great diving catch.

1358
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:23,060
Hmm.

1359
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:24,860
And Leon Roberts replaced it

1360
01:04:24,860 --> 01:04:25,140
for.

1361
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:26,700
Oh that's very nice of him.

1362
01:04:26,740 --> 01:04:28,040
Shook his hand and went over and

1363
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:28,700
replaced the divot.

1364
01:04:28,740 --> 01:04:29,040
Yep.

1365
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:31,100
Must play a little golf.

1366
01:04:31,100 --> 01:04:32,500
And he's got a great shot.

1367
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:37,560
Here's Amos Otis Otis robbed of

1368
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,040
a base hit twice once by Balboni

1369
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:41,440
on a great diving play and once

1370
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:42,900
on a liner back to Raleigh.

1371
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:46,880
All one.

1372
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:49,740
Now let's see if Otis pulls his

1373
01:04:49,740 --> 01:04:50,240
trick here.

1374
01:04:50,420 --> 01:04:51,720
He does it at least one time at

1375
01:04:52,020 --> 01:04:53,720
every time at bat just as Raleigh

1376
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:55,080
is ready to pitch your last the

1377
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:55,320
time.

1378
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:56,880
And the umpires don't have to

1379
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,060
give him time if he calls it

1380
01:04:58,060 --> 01:04:58,520
that late.

1381
01:04:58,780 --> 01:05:00,060
I don't think they should allow

1382
01:05:00,060 --> 01:05:01,260
him to do that.

1383
01:05:01,300 --> 01:05:01,560
Yep.

1384
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:03,560
Now I don't know whether you

1385
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:04,800
don't play granted him time.

1386
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,100
He he just does that to

1387
01:05:08,140 --> 01:05:09,640
aggravate the pitcher.

1388
01:05:10,340 --> 01:05:10,740
And me.

1389
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:12,240
Well last time he did it Raleigh

1390
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:13,740
came inside down around his

1391
01:05:13,740 --> 01:05:15,000
ankles and then he hit the line

1392
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,100
drive right back in Raleigh's

1393
01:05:16,100 --> 01:05:16,400
glove.

1394
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:18,840
Ball two to nothing.

1395
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,120
Another footnote on Guidry last

1396
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:24,040
night's good with his eight

1397
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:24,720
strikeouts.

1398
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,080
He passed Bob Schalke and is in

1399
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:29,280
fifth place on the all time

1400
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:30,060
record.

1401
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:31,380
There's a strike.

1402
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:35,520
Guidry now has one thousand

1403
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:36,620
one hundred and sixty four

1404
01:05:36,620 --> 01:05:37,320
strikeouts.

1405
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:39,760
It's two balls in a strike.

1406
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:42,660
Fly ball center field

1407
01:05:42,660 --> 01:05:44,200
Winfield another good jump.

1408
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:45,740
Well you know he can't get it.

1409
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:47,440
That ball must have been a

1410
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,000
sinking line driver it tailed

1411
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:49,280
away.

1412
01:05:49,540 --> 01:05:50,500
It looked like Dave thought he

1413
01:05:50,500 --> 01:05:50,780
had it.

1414
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:52,000
He's talking to Penelope right

1415
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:52,280
now.

1416
01:05:52,540 --> 01:05:53,840
I think the ball tailed away

1417
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:54,240
from him.

1418
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:55,780
Winfield may have misjudged that

1419
01:05:55,780 --> 01:05:56,380
ball scooter.

1420
01:05:56,620 --> 01:05:56,840
Uh huh.

1421
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:57,320
There you go.

1422
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:58,480
You see him on the run for it

1423
01:05:58,480 --> 01:05:59,080
right there.

1424
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:00,140
He's trying to change his

1425
01:06:00,140 --> 01:06:01,240
direction just a bit.

1426
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:03,780
Yeah he started sideways try to

1427
01:06:03,780 --> 01:06:04,080
come in.

1428
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:04,620
It was too late.

1429
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:04,780
Yep.

1430
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:08,420
He may not have seen it right

1431
01:06:08,420 --> 01:06:08,960
off the bat.

1432
01:06:08,980 --> 01:06:10,580
We of course won't know until

1433
01:06:10,580 --> 01:06:11,860
you ask Winfield after the ball

1434
01:06:11,860 --> 01:06:11,960
game.

1435
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:14,200
All right.

1436
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:15,800
A two out single and his John

1437
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:17,720
Watson who has scored both of

1438
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:19,460
the royal runs a walk and a

1439
01:06:19,460 --> 01:06:21,640
single takes the strike.

1440
01:06:23,740 --> 01:06:26,040
Wearing the protective shin guard

1441
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:26,840
on the left leg.

1442
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:28,640
That's the leg he broke last

1443
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:29,100
time.

1444
01:06:29,340 --> 01:06:30,480
He's got a lot of ball off of

1445
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:30,740
it.

1446
01:06:30,980 --> 01:06:31,280
Wow.

1447
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:32,480
All out of play.

1448
01:06:32,940 --> 01:06:34,480
Even more amazing to think that

1449
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,220
he set the all time stolen base

1450
01:06:37,220 --> 01:06:38,280
record for a catcher.

1451
01:06:39,020 --> 01:06:40,820
And in the meantime was out for

1452
01:06:40,820 --> 01:06:42,060
a lot of the season with the

1453
01:06:42,060 --> 01:06:44,220
broken ankle there from a

1454
01:06:44,220 --> 01:06:45,620
fouling a ball down off his

1455
01:06:45,620 --> 01:06:45,960
ankle.

1456
01:06:48,820 --> 01:06:51,860
I think he stole the bases first

1457
01:06:51,860 --> 01:06:53,900
game back from the broken ankle.

1458
01:06:54,300 --> 01:06:56,460
Nobody figured he'd run those

1459
01:06:56,460 --> 01:06:57,260
against the Yankees.

1460
01:06:57,260 --> 01:06:58,760
He's got the ball and he's got

1461
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,400
it up and camping Harris back

1462
01:07:02,140 --> 01:07:03,200
calling for it.

1463
01:07:03,700 --> 01:07:05,140
Can't be makes the catch.

1464
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:08,680
No runs a hit nowhere as a man

1465
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,140
left at the end of four and a

1466
01:07:10,140 --> 01:07:11,480
half the Royals two in the

1467
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:12,220
Yankees one.

1468
01:07:17,620 --> 01:07:18,580
Well you heard that little

1469
01:07:18,580 --> 01:07:20,260
chuckle at the end of that Toyota

1470
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,060
commercial that was a lot of fun

1471
01:07:22,060 --> 01:07:25,060
for Bill White and me out here

1472
01:07:25,060 --> 01:07:25,820
at Yankee Stadium.

1473
01:07:25,860 --> 01:07:27,200
And that little fluff of bills

1474
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:28,900
that the producer liked it so

1475
01:07:28,900 --> 01:07:29,160
much.

1476
01:07:29,500 --> 01:07:30,600
He asked Bill if he could leave

1477
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:30,860
it in.

1478
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,200
Bill said of course and he

1479
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:35,400
could never count message.

1480
01:07:35,900 --> 01:07:37,400
He used to miss the sign all the

1481
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:37,700
time.

1482
01:07:37,940 --> 01:07:40,580
Why don't stick up for me.

1483
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:41,740
That's the commercial that I

1484
01:07:41,740 --> 01:07:43,080
missed and I wanted to be in so

1485
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:43,540
badly.

1486
01:07:48,140 --> 01:07:49,140
Quick word I was talking about

1487
01:07:49,140 --> 01:07:50,120
getting a strikeout scooter

1488
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,620
before folks start asking why

1489
01:07:51,620 --> 01:07:52,720
do you for it is the all time

1490
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:53,920
strikeout leader for Yankee

1491
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,520
pitchers with one thousand

1492
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:56,760
nine hundred and fifty six.

1493
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,240
Then Red Ruffing a thousand

1494
01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:59,540
five hundred and twenty six.

1495
01:07:59,940 --> 01:08:01,680
Lefty Gomez struck out a thousand

1496
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:02,680
four hundred and sixty eight

1497
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,620
Mel Stottlemeyer one thousand

1498
01:08:04,620 --> 01:08:05,780
two hundred and fifty seven.

1499
01:08:06,020 --> 01:08:07,580
And now Ron Guidry with one

1500
01:08:07,580 --> 01:08:09,240
thousand one hundred and sixty

1501
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:09,780
four.

1502
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:13,620
Very impressive.

1503
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:15,760
There he is.

1504
01:08:15,780 --> 01:08:16,880
Louisiana Lightning.

1505
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,160
Don't suppose he knew I was

1506
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:20,700
talking about him.

1507
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:21,460
No.

1508
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:24,500
Those pitchers really stick

1509
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:26,860
together on the bench.

1510
01:08:27,140 --> 01:08:28,060
All right Steve Kemp.

1511
01:08:28,740 --> 01:08:30,400
Good breaking pitch strike one.

1512
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,040
Steve bounced a second his first

1513
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:34,500
time up.

1514
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:42,880
Fly ball left field Roberts is

1515
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:43,520
right there.

1516
01:08:44,740 --> 01:08:46,280
One hands it one man out.

1517
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:48,760
So Rosetta going back to your

1518
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:50,160
playing days how about a sky

1519
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:51,920
like this that buttermilk sky we

1520
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,060
refer to it is that tough to

1521
01:08:53,060 --> 01:08:53,560
know.

1522
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:54,480
This is perfect.

1523
01:08:54,780 --> 01:08:55,160
Oh yeah.

1524
01:08:55,860 --> 01:08:58,660
Anytime the sun is hidden and

1525
01:08:58,660 --> 01:09:00,220
it's overcast you can really

1526
01:09:00,220 --> 01:09:01,020
pick up the ball.

1527
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:01,500
All right.

1528
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:04,960
Steve Balboni.

1529
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:07,500
Popped the third first time up.

1530
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:08,240
Oh.

1531
01:09:09,100 --> 01:09:10,780
Good pitch there strike one.

1532
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:15,580
Yankees trailing two to one

1533
01:09:15,580 --> 01:09:16,340
bottom of the fifth.

1534
01:09:19,220 --> 01:09:20,480
Outside one on one.

1535
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:23,380
We need a run here and there's a

1536
01:09:23,380 --> 01:09:27,080
little girl Kimberly Basshart up

1537
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,760
in kinder hook which is near

1538
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:31,800
Albany had a litter of rabbits

1539
01:09:31,820 --> 01:09:33,220
name one after me call him the

1540
01:09:33,220 --> 01:09:33,700
scooter.

1541
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,400
Rep foul almost got done Zimmer

1542
01:09:38,100 --> 01:09:39,960
and he's got a Yankee cap on

1543
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:42,800
cute little rabbit.

1544
01:09:46,980 --> 01:09:48,000
And I'm wondering if that's the

1545
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,440
same rabbit that's eating all my

1546
01:09:50,440 --> 01:09:59,080
plants in the backyard outside

1547
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:08,920
to and to keep saying Balboni

1548
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:10,580
is overdue to show the Yankee

1549
01:10:10,580 --> 01:10:12,520
fans just how far he can hit a

1550
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:12,900
ball.

1551
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:18,520
I'll get back to and to how

1552
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:19,500
Bonnie has just seemed to have

1553
01:10:19,500 --> 01:10:20,840
trouble adjusting to the off

1554
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,240
speed pitch here in the major

1555
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:22,640
leagues.

1556
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:24,580
He's got a lot of curve balls

1557
01:10:24,580 --> 01:10:25,600
and off speed pitches in the

1558
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,780
International League but he just

1559
01:10:28,780 --> 01:10:29,940
can't seem to adjust to them

1560
01:10:29,940 --> 01:10:30,040
here.

1561
01:10:30,480 --> 01:10:31,780
I don't know what I can't figure

1562
01:10:31,780 --> 01:10:33,680
it out but again he doesn't play

1563
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,380
day in and day out and play a

1564
01:10:36,380 --> 01:10:37,660
couple of days and you sit on

1565
01:10:37,660 --> 01:10:41,480
the bench a few days and Bud

1566
01:10:41,480 --> 01:10:43,360
Black been in control of this

1567
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:44,020
ballgame.

1568
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,660
Look out how that missed him.

1569
01:10:48,660 --> 01:10:49,920
I don't know if I was going to

1570
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:50,820
hit him on the elbow.

1571
01:10:54,860 --> 01:10:55,700
Here it is again.

1572
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:57,300
That's bearing right on and he

1573
01:10:57,300 --> 01:10:58,560
just did get the elbow out of the

1574
01:10:58,560 --> 01:10:58,840
way.

1575
01:10:59,900 --> 01:11:00,200
All right.

1576
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:02,080
Full count now on Balboni.

1577
01:11:04,980 --> 01:11:06,240
I'd like to see him hit just

1578
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:06,600
one.

1579
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:07,340
That's all.

1580
01:11:07,580 --> 01:11:09,020
Just one the way we saw him hit

1581
01:11:10,340 --> 01:11:11,080
in the minor leagues.

1582
01:11:14,420 --> 01:11:16,280
Got under it and it's out of

1583
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:20,320
play though Roy Smalley looking

1584
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:21,560
at it with Don Slott the

1585
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,760
catcher where they get the mud

1586
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:25,000
out of their spiked shoes with

1587
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,500
the shin guards that that's

1588
01:11:27,500 --> 01:11:28,760
caked a little too hard.

1589
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:33,940
Well the threatening weather

1590
01:11:33,940 --> 01:11:34,640
here today is good.

1591
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:35,840
They had the infield covered.

1592
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:36,940
Neither team took batting

1593
01:11:36,940 --> 01:11:37,400
practice.

1594
01:11:39,780 --> 01:11:40,940
Well I hope the weatherman's

1595
01:11:40,940 --> 01:11:42,580
wrong although he said any time

1596
01:11:42,580 --> 01:11:44,380
between noon and six o'clock we

1597
01:11:44,380 --> 01:11:46,380
would have a thunderstorm but

1598
01:11:47,420 --> 01:11:48,880
looks like it could miss us.

1599
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:52,660
Yankees will be flying out right

1600
01:11:52,660 --> 01:11:53,860
after the ballgame heading for

1601
01:11:53,860 --> 01:11:56,700
Arlington Texas to start an 11

1602
01:11:56,700 --> 01:12:00,900
game 11 day road trip three

1603
01:12:00,900 --> 01:12:02,260
different parts of the country

1604
01:12:02,900 --> 01:12:05,300
southwest the Midwest and the

1605
01:12:05,300 --> 01:12:06,100
northeast.

1606
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:07,700
That's right.

1607
01:12:07,940 --> 01:12:09,400
Texas Chicago and Toronto.

1608
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,680
Oh he struck him out his first

1609
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:12,780
strike out of the ballgame ball

1610
01:12:12,780 --> 01:12:14,480
was tailing away from Balboni

1611
01:12:14,480 --> 01:12:15,180
and he tried to pull it.

1612
01:12:17,620 --> 01:12:19,320
We have seen Steve Frank hit

1613
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:20,580
home runs to the opposite

1614
01:12:20,580 --> 01:12:20,820
fields.

1615
01:12:21,380 --> 01:12:21,580
Yes we have.

1616
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,320
Two out now Roy Smalley who was

1617
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:28,620
robbed of a base hit on that

1618
01:12:28,620 --> 01:12:30,020
great play by Willie Wilson.

1619
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:32,300
That was the divot play.

1620
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:32,760
Yep.

1621
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:35,960
That was the divot play.

1622
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:36,460
Yep.

1623
01:12:36,460 --> 01:12:38,040
Did he lay off.

1624
01:12:38,300 --> 01:12:39,100
No he went around.

1625
01:12:43,100 --> 01:12:44,440
Messes got those good eyes

1626
01:12:44,440 --> 01:12:45,040
strike one.

1627
01:12:46,340 --> 01:12:47,240
Didn't even have to appeal on

1628
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:47,540
that one.

1629
01:12:51,620 --> 01:12:53,080
And loops went in his center.

1630
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:54,580
Wilson's not going to get that

1631
01:12:54,580 --> 01:12:54,760
one.

1632
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:56,920
That's what you call a dying

1633
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:57,420
quail.

1634
01:12:58,420 --> 01:12:59,720
Right off the end of the base

1635
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:00,020
hit.

1636
01:13:00,820 --> 01:13:02,420
And he's got a good eye on the

1637
01:13:02,420 --> 01:13:06,600
ball that's what you call a dying

1638
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:08,800
quail right off the end of the

1639
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,540
badgers went out and sat still

1640
01:13:11,540 --> 01:13:12,360
out the center field.

1641
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:14,300
That's only the third hit for

1642
01:13:14,300 --> 01:13:15,300
the Yankees or black.

1643
01:13:19,940 --> 01:13:20,940
Rick's around.

1644
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,540
So wrong fly to center his first

1645
01:13:23,540 --> 01:13:24,020
time up.

1646
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:26,980
Hey while Sarone steps in very

1647
01:13:26,980 --> 01:13:28,480
interesting article in the New

1648
01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:30,520
York Times today by Joe Durso

1649
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:32,300
and the Yankees are both leagues

1650
01:13:32,700 --> 01:13:34,860
asking among other things for

1651
01:13:34,860 --> 01:13:36,040
them to name their favorite

1652
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:43,080
ballparks to play in and outside

1653
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:43,800
ball one.

1654
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:45,880
Well Royal Stadium in Kansas

1655
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:47,480
City was voted the favorite in

1656
01:13:47,480 --> 01:13:51,680
the American League with Yankee

1657
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:53,680
Stadium right up there in fourth

1658
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:54,020
place.

1659
01:13:55,780 --> 01:13:56,180
All right.

1660
01:13:56,220 --> 01:13:57,760
Municipal Stadium in Cleveland

1661
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,440
was voted the worst part to

1662
01:14:00,440 --> 01:14:00,740
play in.

1663
01:14:01,340 --> 01:14:03,700
I figured that even the Indian

1664
01:14:03,700 --> 01:14:05,640
ballplayers moan about it and

1665
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:07,080
they play 81 games.

1666
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:08,640
Well they were overwhelming in

1667
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,080
their vote against their own

1668
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:10,440
stadium.

1669
01:14:12,140 --> 01:14:13,720
No to nothing.

1670
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:15,720
They were also asked to name

1671
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:17,980
their ones they thought were the

1672
01:14:17,980 --> 01:14:19,880
best umpires in both leagues and

1673
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:22,700
Steve Palermo was voted number

1674
01:14:22,700 --> 01:14:23,760
one umpire in the American

1675
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:24,020
League.

1676
01:14:24,100 --> 01:14:27,260
Yeah Steve besides being an

1677
01:14:27,260 --> 01:14:29,200
umpire is one of the classiest

1678
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,160
dresses amongst the umpires

1679
01:14:32,100 --> 01:14:33,740
outside three and nothing.

1680
01:14:34,460 --> 01:14:36,140
Palermo has improved so much

1681
01:14:36,140 --> 01:14:38,040
from his early days in umpire

1682
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:39,540
and he works hard.

1683
01:14:39,900 --> 01:14:40,580
Oh he does.

1684
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,080
He works very very hard.

1685
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:44,480
All right.

1686
01:14:44,480 --> 01:14:46,080
Three and Otis are on two out

1687
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:47,640
the Royals lead two to one

1688
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:53,280
bottom of the fifth right one

1689
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:53,960
three and one.

1690
01:14:55,020 --> 01:14:56,960
I believe Dutch runner was

1691
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:58,360
the leading vote getter in the

1692
01:14:58,360 --> 01:14:58,920
National League.

1693
01:15:03,460 --> 01:15:04,700
I don't know those nationally

1694
01:15:04,700 --> 01:15:05,260
umpires.

1695
01:15:10,540 --> 01:15:12,180
That's that pitch tailing away

1696
01:15:12,180 --> 01:15:13,440
from the right hand batter and

1697
01:15:13,440 --> 01:15:15,240
when they try to pull it they

1698
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:16,740
either miss it or pop it up

1699
01:15:17,540 --> 01:15:19,240
three and two small he will be

1700
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,540
released at first base and

1701
01:15:21,540 --> 01:15:22,940
Wathen playing in back of them.

1702
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:24,820
That's a very important pitch

1703
01:15:24,820 --> 01:15:25,760
for this young left handed

1704
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:26,120
guy.

1705
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:27,720
And a big pitch.

1706
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:28,200
Oh yeah.

1707
01:15:28,460 --> 01:15:31,060
He's got a lot of outside a lot

1708
01:15:31,060 --> 01:15:31,760
of ground balls.

1709
01:15:35,540 --> 01:15:36,240
That goes small.

1710
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:38,600
Hard ground a lot of play by

1711
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:38,880
Brett.

1712
01:15:39,100 --> 01:15:41,240
Holy county throws to run up

1713
01:15:42,380 --> 01:15:44,680
great play by George Brett on a

1714
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,320
bullet hit by Sir own no runs

1715
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:48,640
ahead.

1716
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:50,480
Nowhere is a man left at the end

1717
01:15:50,480 --> 01:15:52,960
of five on the cannon camera

1718
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:53,580
scoreboard.

1719
01:15:53,580 --> 01:15:54,820
It's the Royals two and the

1720
01:15:54,820 --> 01:15:55,880
Yankees one.

1721
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:58,660
You can always get Yankee

1722
01:15:58,660 --> 01:15:59,860
tickets at all ticket drawn

1723
01:15:59,860 --> 01:16:01,520
locations or by calling charge

1724
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,320
it as well as right here at the

1725
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:04,800
Yankee Stadium advanced ticket

1726
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:05,460
windows.

1727
01:16:06,500 --> 01:16:07,760
Sixth inning coming up scooter

1728
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:08,940
and the Royals leading two to

1729
01:16:08,940 --> 01:16:10,440
one and Leon Roberts two for two

1730
01:16:10,440 --> 01:16:11,140
in the ballgame.

1731
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:12,700
All right.

1732
01:16:12,940 --> 01:16:14,000
The big right hander facing

1733
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:15,840
Shane Raleigh and check swing

1734
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:16,400
bouncer.

1735
01:16:16,780 --> 01:16:19,540
I have to hurry small a gets rid

1736
01:16:19,540 --> 01:16:20,380
of it and gets him.

1737
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:23,340
That's a tough play for a guy as

1738
01:16:23,340 --> 01:16:25,980
small as you Frank have to go

1739
01:16:25,980 --> 01:16:27,560
down that low get the ball come

1740
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:28,260
up straight enough.

1741
01:16:28,380 --> 01:16:28,820
That's right.

1742
01:16:28,860 --> 01:16:31,120
And throw a little guy can get

1743
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:32,460
down and get it and throw from

1744
01:16:32,460 --> 01:16:32,900
down there.

1745
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:34,300
But small he just can't do it.

1746
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:36,760
He's got to come up and take an

1747
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:37,320
extra step.

1748
01:16:37,460 --> 01:16:37,700
Yep.

1749
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:42,900
One away is Frank White who is

1750
01:16:42,900 --> 01:16:46,240
driven in both runs one on a

1751
01:16:46,300 --> 01:16:47,900
ground out where the Yankees

1752
01:16:47,900 --> 01:16:49,340
didn't turn to the double plan

1753
01:16:49,340 --> 01:16:51,240
another on a spectacular save by

1754
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,180
Nettles which he got a base hit

1755
01:16:53,180 --> 01:16:54,740
and a strike one a Frank White

1756
01:16:58,280 --> 01:16:59,180
here's another guy I can't

1757
01:16:59,180 --> 01:17:00,420
believe Frank is down at two

1758
01:17:00,420 --> 01:17:01,260
forty seven.

1759
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,980
No I can't either rip to left

1760
01:17:04,980 --> 01:17:07,320
field and going back camp and

1761
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:08,300
he's not going to get it.

1762
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:09,420
It's off the wall.

1763
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:11,300
You better hurry or whites going

1764
01:17:11,300 --> 01:17:12,360
to have a triple he's going to

1765
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:12,860
make it.

1766
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:14,960
Camp had trouble picking up the

1767
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,300
ball the throw went over small

1768
01:17:17,300 --> 01:17:18,740
he said but they still would not

1769
01:17:18,740 --> 01:17:21,540
have gotten him a triple for

1770
01:17:21,540 --> 01:17:23,340
the Yankees and he's going to

1771
01:17:23,340 --> 01:17:24,100
have to get a triple.

1772
01:17:24,140 --> 01:17:24,840
He's going to have to get a

1773
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:25,140
triple.

1774
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:25,940
He's going to have to get a

1775
01:17:25,940 --> 01:17:26,240
triple.

1776
01:17:26,300 --> 01:17:27,040
He's going to have to get a

1777
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:27,340
triple.

1778
01:17:27,580 --> 01:17:30,540
Frank White Tony his third hit

1779
01:17:30,540 --> 01:17:32,220
of the series in 16 at bat you

1780
01:17:32,220 --> 01:17:34,960
see camp going but he'll not

1781
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:36,960
catch up with this one short

1782
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:38,460
hops off the wall and bounds

1783
01:17:38,460 --> 01:17:39,160
away from him.

1784
01:17:40,660 --> 01:17:42,020
Frank White with a play in front

1785
01:17:42,020 --> 01:17:44,600
of him now camp will throw the

1786
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,000
ball over the head of small the

1787
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:48,560
cutoff man and Frank White

1788
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:50,440
coasts on into third base with a

1789
01:17:50,440 --> 01:17:51,700
double and a triple.

1790
01:17:51,940 --> 01:17:53,000
He's going to be hitting the

1791
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:54,840
infield in Don Slaughter who is

1792
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:56,240
two for two single right and

1793
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:58,780
single left will be the batter

1794
01:18:01,540 --> 01:18:16,360
only one man out ball one and

1795
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:18,060
Seron bluffed a throw to third

1796
01:18:18,060 --> 01:18:19,420
with nettles breaking over there

1797
01:18:19,420 --> 01:18:20,500
and he's going to be the

1798
01:18:20,500 --> 01:18:22,400
greatest combination I ever saw

1799
01:18:22,660 --> 01:18:24,060
on that catcher at a third

1800
01:18:24,060 --> 01:18:26,300
pickoff Thurman Munson and Greg

1801
01:18:26,300 --> 01:18:27,600
Nilsen Greg Nittell Greg would

1802
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:28,840
give the sign and Munson would

1803
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:30,100
fire that ball down there and

1804
01:18:30,100 --> 01:18:31,500
many many times they picked

1805
01:18:31,500 --> 01:18:31,980
runners off.

1806
01:18:32,500 --> 01:18:33,880
Oh Thurman had that quick

1807
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:37,380
release popped it up but it'll

1808
01:18:37,380 --> 01:18:38,980
be out of play I believe

1809
01:18:39,380 --> 01:18:41,280
Balboni will run out of room

1810
01:18:42,220 --> 01:18:43,720
well back into the seats.

1811
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:45,860
Well the wind is blowing that

1812
01:18:45,860 --> 01:18:47,360
way and it may be a true breeze

1813
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:48,120
this afternoon.

1814
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,460
The wind is blowing from left in

1815
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:52,300
toward the right field foul on

1816
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:54,260
a lot of us hitting us here in

1817
01:18:54,260 --> 01:18:57,840
the booth I might add well

1818
01:18:57,840 --> 01:18:59,240
there's a chill in the air here

1819
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:00,840
in New York certainly is just a

1820
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,040
raw damp day sort of a misty

1821
01:19:03,100 --> 01:19:03,800
type day.

1822
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,580
But nonetheless a lot of great

1823
01:19:07,580 --> 01:19:08,880
Yankee fans out here at Yankee

1824
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:09,240
Stadium.

1825
01:19:09,480 --> 01:19:09,780
Oh yes.

1826
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:11,120
You know you say Misty and I

1827
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:12,720
right away I think of Johnny

1828
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:14,320
Mathis singing that song pitch

1829
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,680
out squeeze was not on two balls

1830
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:25,400
and he's got to take one slot

1831
01:19:25,420 --> 01:19:27,820
has not laid down a sacrifice

1832
01:19:27,820 --> 01:19:29,960
but this year they whistle them

1833
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:31,500
out of the batter's box and now

1834
01:19:31,500 --> 01:19:33,160
this could either be something

1835
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,440
to confuse Billy Martin and the

1836
01:19:35,440 --> 01:19:37,400
Yankees or maybe to squeeze his

1837
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:37,600
arm.

1838
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:41,200
We'll wait and see he's coming

1839
01:19:41,740 --> 01:19:45,440
and a great job by slot as he

1840
01:19:45,440 --> 01:19:47,940
almost dove to file that ball

1841
01:19:47,940 --> 01:19:49,040
off and protect the runner.

1842
01:19:49,100 --> 01:19:50,000
And that's what the Yankees

1843
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:50,740
going to have to do.

1844
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:52,480
Well one was caught napping.

1845
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:52,900
Right.

1846
01:19:52,980 --> 01:19:53,740
Here it is again.

1847
01:19:53,780 --> 01:19:55,680
You'll see him right there.

1848
01:19:56,020 --> 01:19:57,140
That was not a pitch out but the

1849
01:19:57,140 --> 01:19:58,420
pitch was well away from him.

1850
01:19:58,880 --> 01:19:59,880
Now he's got to stay in the

1851
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:00,680
batter's box right.

1852
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:02,220
Not step on home plate or cross

1853
01:20:02,220 --> 01:20:02,680
home plate.

1854
01:20:03,020 --> 01:20:04,780
The best I've seen do that was

1855
01:20:04,780 --> 01:20:04,980
Sir.

1856
01:20:05,480 --> 01:20:07,620
Just recently and got an RBI

1857
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:09,920
RBI did not get a sacrifice

1858
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:11,060
because they made a play on the

1859
01:20:11,060 --> 01:20:12,260
runner from first to second.

1860
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:15,020
But he got a run batted in and

1861
01:20:15,020 --> 01:20:17,000
Sirone was almost perpendicular

1862
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:18,540
in the air when he laid the bat

1863
01:20:18,540 --> 01:20:18,740
on it.

1864
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,740
Perpendicular perpendicular

1865
01:20:24,300 --> 01:20:25,900
very good horizontal which was

1866
01:20:25,900 --> 01:20:27,780
all right sideways.

1867
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:36,020
I like that slot just trying to

1868
01:20:36,020 --> 01:20:37,660
slap that ball which is always a

1869
01:20:37,660 --> 01:20:39,180
good idea with the infield in

1870
01:20:39,660 --> 01:20:41,060
so I have to hit the ball hard.

1871
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:42,500
Sorry I use that word now I've

1872
01:20:42,500 --> 01:20:43,300
got myself confused.

1873
01:20:43,300 --> 01:20:45,060
I'm not sure if that's the right

1874
01:20:45,060 --> 01:20:45,460
word for you.

1875
01:20:45,500 --> 01:20:47,060
No no that's all right Frank.

1876
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,100
I can spell it but I don't know

1877
01:20:49,100 --> 01:20:56,140
exactly what it means and he

1878
01:20:56,140 --> 01:20:57,540
bounces one they got a letter

1879
01:20:57,540 --> 01:20:59,220
roll and it goes foul.

1880
01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:01,280
Now there's alert base running

1881
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:02,020
by Frank White.

1882
01:21:02,980 --> 01:21:04,020
A lot of runners that third

1883
01:21:04,020 --> 01:21:05,480
would kind of hesitate not know

1884
01:21:05,480 --> 01:21:06,360
whether to go in or not.

1885
01:21:06,380 --> 01:21:07,560
He broke immediately.

1886
01:21:07,620 --> 01:21:08,860
They'd have never had a chance.

1887
01:21:11,660 --> 01:21:13,260
Superstitious that you make sure

1888
01:21:13,260 --> 01:21:17,700
you're not going to say I don't

1889
01:21:17,700 --> 01:21:18,760
know who are the most

1890
01:21:19,700 --> 01:21:21,100
superstitious people whether

1891
01:21:21,100 --> 01:21:22,940
they be athletes or show people

1892
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:24,300
and that's true.

1893
01:21:25,780 --> 01:21:27,580
That one line would show

1894
01:21:27,700 --> 01:21:29,180
business people still gets me

1895
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:29,780
break a leg.

1896
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:30,540
Yeah sure.

1897
01:21:31,180 --> 01:21:32,240
Means have a good night or

1898
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:32,540
something.

1899
01:21:32,940 --> 01:21:33,920
Supposed to be bad luck to say

1900
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:34,280
good luck.

1901
01:21:34,340 --> 01:21:34,780
Yeah.

1902
01:21:37,260 --> 01:21:41,520
To and to the count one out and

1903
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:42,360
he filed it off.

1904
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:43,740
He's got a pretty good job up

1905
01:21:43,740 --> 01:21:44,700
there protecting the plate.

1906
01:21:45,440 --> 01:21:47,040
He's a tough man wants to strike

1907
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:48,140
out ratio Frank.

1908
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:51,540
He hasn't played really that

1909
01:21:51,540 --> 01:21:51,800
much.

1910
01:21:52,300 --> 01:21:52,980
He heard a lot this year he

1911
01:21:52,980 --> 01:21:55,080
struck out only 14 times and a

1912
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:56,520
hundred and fifteen at bats.

1913
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:01,180
So one every 10 times.

1914
01:22:01,220 --> 01:22:01,780
Yep.

1915
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:09,460
All right.

1916
01:22:09,460 --> 01:22:15,600
Two balls two strikes just missed

1917
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:16,800
that inside corner.

1918
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,060
Boy he's looking for the ball

1919
01:22:18,060 --> 01:22:20,340
away trying to slap it and

1920
01:22:20,340 --> 01:22:22,200
Raleigh almost snuck it by him.

1921
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:24,440
Well he had a good idea there

1922
01:22:24,440 --> 01:22:25,580
will watch that pitch again.

1923
01:22:26,140 --> 01:22:27,340
He's slaught going into the

1924
01:22:27,340 --> 01:22:27,640
pitch.

1925
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,280
But it was inside it's three and

1926
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:30,720
two.

1927
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:31,660
And that's a two.

1928
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,760
That'll get the run in and it's

1929
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:43,960
also over the head of

1930
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:44,560
Winfield.

1931
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:45,740
Holy cow.

1932
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,380
And slot's going to go for three

1933
01:22:48,380 --> 01:22:49,300
and he's going to make it

1934
01:22:51,740 --> 01:22:53,740
unbelievable back to back

1935
01:22:53,740 --> 01:22:54,380
triples.

1936
01:22:54,380 --> 01:22:57,320
And that's a two and a three

1937
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:57,720
and a four.

1938
01:23:01,060 --> 01:23:02,260
Here comes Billy Martin.

1939
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:06,800
You know Phil was it.

1940
01:23:08,500 --> 01:23:10,440
Bill the Royals have 10 hits in

1941
01:23:10,440 --> 01:23:12,040
the ballgame and five of them

1942
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:13,340
are from their number eight and

1943
01:23:13,340 --> 01:23:14,100
nine hitters.

1944
01:23:14,140 --> 01:23:16,000
Frank White has two hits and two

1945
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:17,740
runs batted in slot has three

1946
01:23:17,740 --> 01:23:18,840
hits and a run batted in.

1947
01:23:19,440 --> 01:23:20,680
And then how about Roberts right

1948
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:21,080
above him.

1949
01:23:21,380 --> 01:23:21,840
Roberts.

1950
01:23:21,940 --> 01:23:22,440
That's right.

1951
01:23:22,480 --> 01:23:24,340
He's got two more hits and set

1952
01:23:24,340 --> 01:23:25,920
him up for the first to third.

1953
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:27,880
Well that's going to be all for

1954
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:29,220
Shane Raleigh Billy Martin asked

1955
01:23:29,220 --> 01:23:31,360
for the baseball rally leaves.

1956
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:34,760
With the Royals out in front by

01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:36,200

base hits already in the ball

1982
01:24:27,380 --> 01:24:27,740
game.

1983
01:24:28,440 --> 01:24:29,880
We're just in the top half of

1984
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:30,640
the sixth inning.

1985
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:34,320
Royals have left seven men on

1986
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:34,780
base.

1987
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:36,080
Raleigh.

1988
01:24:36,480 --> 01:24:37,060
Pardon me.

1989
01:24:37,460 --> 01:24:38,680
While going five and a third

1990
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:39,780
giving up 10 hits.

1991
01:24:40,460 --> 01:24:41,960
I have him down for two walks

1992
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:43,660
and two strikeouts.

1993
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:47,060
And one of the two men he walked

1994
01:24:47,060 --> 01:24:48,520
in the first half of the season

1995
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:49,820
and he's got a two score.

1996
01:24:51,620 --> 01:24:53,260
Murray's record two and one

1997
01:24:53,900 --> 01:24:56,000
run run average four point 69

1998
01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:57,660
Murray had a really had a bad

1999
01:24:57,660 --> 01:24:58,700
first half of the year.

2000
01:24:59,500 --> 01:25:01,400
But I talked when we're on the

2001
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:02,840
last road trip scooter I talked

2002
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:06,080
to Jeff Talbot as we started the

2003
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:07,540
second half of the season I asked

2004
01:25:07,540 --> 01:25:08,780
Jeff to sort of recap the first

2005
01:25:08,780 --> 01:25:10,340
half and project his thoughts on

2006
01:25:10,340 --> 01:25:11,040
the second half.

2007
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:13,920
And he said certainly the bullpen

2008
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,680
the middle relief pitching in

2009
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,280
the second half of the year

2010
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:17,620
right.

2011
01:25:18,020 --> 01:25:20,260
But he said that this man Dale

2012
01:25:20,260 --> 01:25:21,820
Murray had been working very

2013
01:25:21,820 --> 01:25:23,920
very diligently in the bullpen

2014
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:26,520
trying to get his mechanics

2015
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:26,900
down.

2016
01:25:27,260 --> 01:25:28,400
Jeff said it was a matter of

2017
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:28,960
mechanics.

2018
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,240
So what they had Raleigh do was

2019
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:33,500
work just off a stretch or what

2020
01:25:33,500 --> 01:25:35,240
they had Murray do his work off

2021
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,000
just a stretch and set position.

2022
01:25:37,580 --> 01:25:38,940
I talked to Dale Murray about

2023
01:25:38,940 --> 01:25:40,440
it and he said yes he's fine.

2024
01:25:40,480 --> 01:25:43,720
He found that he could not pitch

2025
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:45,920
in the bullpen and certainly he

2026
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:47,500
cannot wind up because he comes

2027
01:25:47,500 --> 01:25:48,700
in with people on base right.

2028
01:25:48,860 --> 01:25:51,340
So he has limited his deliveries

2029
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,640
off the stretch and set position

2030
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:55,600
even though we saw him wine go

2031
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:56,600
into a full motion when he

2032
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:57,300
warmed up there.

2033
01:25:57,540 --> 01:25:59,080
It'll be interesting to see now

2034
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:00,780
if he sticks to that stretch and

2035
01:26:00,780 --> 01:26:02,840
set with the runner at third and

2036
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:05,820
one out and we're going to have

2037
01:26:05,820 --> 01:26:08,420
a pinch hitter Pat Sheridan for

2038
01:26:08,420 --> 01:26:08,920
Willie Wilson.

2039
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:10,380
How do you like that.

2040
01:26:10,380 --> 01:26:11,420
That's surprising.

2041
01:26:11,460 --> 01:26:12,660
Very surprising.

2042
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:14,420
Although this young man has heard

2043
01:26:14,420 --> 01:26:15,820
the Yankees in just about every

2044
01:26:15,820 --> 01:26:17,700
game he's played either with the

2045
01:26:17,700 --> 01:26:18,960
batter in the field or on the

2046
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:19,200
bases.

2047
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:25,340
He's batting 266 three home is

2048
01:26:25,340 --> 01:26:27,500
15 RBI the Yankee infield still

2049
01:26:27,500 --> 01:26:31,380
in with slaughtered third and

2050
01:26:31,380 --> 01:26:32,980
just one man out in the royals

2051
01:26:32,980 --> 01:26:34,080
leading three to one.

2052
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:37,380
Sheridan hurt the Yankees with

2053
01:26:37,380 --> 01:26:38,780
his head out in Kansas City.

2054
01:26:38,780 --> 01:26:40,080
Right.

2055
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:42,080
Strike one.

2056
01:26:42,660 --> 01:26:44,060
When it was a pinch runner stole

2057
01:26:44,060 --> 01:26:45,360
second and the throw to second

2058
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:46,560
base bounced off his head.

2059
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,520
He scrambled up and came on in

2060
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:50,700
to score the winning run in the

2061
01:26:50,700 --> 01:27:00,100
12th inning slice foul back into

2062
01:27:00,100 --> 01:27:01,340
the seats in the mezzanine.

2063
01:27:01,580 --> 01:27:03,540
It's own to that sort of a

2064
01:27:03,540 --> 01:27:05,340
modified version of the Joe

2065
01:27:05,340 --> 01:27:07,240
Morgan arm flask.

2066
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:08,600
Elbow.

2067
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:08,980
I don't know whether he does it

2068
01:27:08,980 --> 01:27:09,580
every time or not.

2069
01:27:15,980 --> 01:27:16,720
I'm not right now.

2070
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:17,280
Wait a minute.

2071
01:27:19,660 --> 01:27:21,560
Struck out on three pitches.

2072
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:22,960
Holy cow.

2073
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,020
What a job by Dale Murray right

2074
01:27:25,020 --> 01:27:25,560
there.

2075
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:28,060
No better time for a strikeout

2076
01:27:28,060 --> 01:27:28,360
Frank.

2077
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:29,760
Well that's very true.

2078
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:30,960
You can't take a chance on a

2079
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:31,960
ground ball or a fly ball.

2080
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:32,960
You can't take a chance on a

2081
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:34,060
ground ball or a fly ball.

2082
01:27:34,060 --> 01:27:34,860
You can't take a chance on a

2083
01:27:34,860 --> 01:27:35,500
ground ball or a fly ball.

2084
01:27:35,500 --> 01:27:37,400
You can't take a chance on a

2085
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:38,440
ground ball or a fly ball.

2086
01:27:38,440 --> 01:27:39,600
Fly ball is going to get the run

2087
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:40,800
in the ground ball would unless

2088
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:42,400
it was hit right at the one of

2089
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:43,400
the drawn in infielders.

2090
01:27:43,440 --> 01:27:45,680
So Murray went for the strikeout

2091
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:46,180
and got it.

2092
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:47,140
All right.

2093
01:27:47,380 --> 01:27:48,380
He's you well Washington who is

2094
01:27:48,380 --> 01:27:50,920
struck out bounce to second and

2095
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:52,320
flying out to Pennella who made

2096
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,020
that circus catch off him

2097
01:27:54,420 --> 01:27:55,860
falling down and holding on to

2098
01:27:55,860 --> 01:27:56,160
the ball.

2099
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:57,900
And that's the end of the game.

2100
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:09,380
Ground ball right at Smalley and

2101
01:28:09,380 --> 01:28:11,580
Murray does his job beautifully.

2102
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:14,120
Saves a big run.

2103
01:28:14,820 --> 01:28:16,680
Royals pick up a run on two hits

2104
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:18,180
nowhere as a man left at the end

2105
01:28:18,180 --> 01:28:20,280
of five and a half Royals three

2106
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:21,280
in the Yankees one.

2107
01:28:24,220 --> 01:28:26,060
I never thought I'd see the day

2108
01:28:26,060 --> 01:28:27,960
when he was out in center field

2109
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:28,320
right now.

2110
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:31,100
He could have hurt himself on

2111
01:28:31,100 --> 01:28:32,360
that diving catch out the

2112
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:34,140
outfield but soon as we find out

2113
01:28:34,140 --> 01:28:34,840
we'll let you know.

2114
01:28:35,500 --> 01:28:36,540
Top of the Yankee order

2115
01:28:36,540 --> 01:28:38,740
Campaneras Nettles and Pennella

2116
01:28:38,740 --> 01:28:39,540
to face black.

2117
01:28:45,780 --> 01:28:47,540
That's exactly what happened.

2118
01:28:47,540 --> 01:28:49,320
Jimmy Hunter very alertly called

2119
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:51,620
that on that great diving catch

2120
01:28:51,620 --> 01:28:53,060
by Willie Wilson his shoulders

2121
01:28:53,060 --> 01:28:53,680
stiffened up.

2122
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:55,020
And that's the end of the game.

2123
01:28:58,060 --> 01:29:00,080
Rip file again it almost got

2124
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:00,360
Zim.

2125
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:02,420
A shooting form today.

2126
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:05,320
Zimmer was hit hard.

2127
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:07,900
I think it was was about the

2128
01:29:07,900 --> 01:29:09,460
camp in Kansas City or.

2129
01:29:09,540 --> 01:29:09,800
Yeah.

2130
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:15,800
Winfield hit one that hit the

2131
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:17,200
umpire and then he hit one that

2132
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:17,740
got Zimmer.

2133
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:22,640
Outside a ball and two strikes

2134
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:23,240
on campy.

2135
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:24,460
And that's the end of the game

2136
01:29:24,460 --> 01:29:25,240
for the Yankee.

2137
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:26,240
And the Yankees are in the

2138
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:26,540
field.

2139
01:29:28,740 --> 01:29:30,200
Batting three fifty one.

2140
01:29:30,340 --> 01:29:32,580
This is some comeback story on.

2141
01:29:33,580 --> 01:29:34,280
Campanella.

2142
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:36,280
Bounces it in the hole.

2143
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:37,940
I mean Campanera that's a base

2144
01:29:37,940 --> 01:29:38,240
hit.

2145
01:29:38,780 --> 01:29:39,620
No chance for you.

2146
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:41,080
Well Washington did I say

2147
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:41,720
Campanella.

2148
01:29:42,220 --> 01:29:43,380
I meant Campaneras.

2149
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:45,760
So campy starts things off in

2150
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:46,880
the bottom of the six with an

2151
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:47,920
infield hit Frank.

2152
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:49,040
And.

2153
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,480
U.L. Washington a lot of range.

2154
01:29:52,980 --> 01:29:54,960
Will back end the ball but he

2155
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:56,220
knows he can't throw him out.

2156
01:29:56,260 --> 01:29:56,560
Does.

2157
01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:57,860
Holds on to it.

2158
01:29:58,360 --> 01:29:58,560
All right.

2159
01:29:58,760 --> 01:29:59,920
That's only the fourth hit for

2160
01:29:59,920 --> 01:30:00,960
the Yankees but now.

2161
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:02,760
It brings up the potential

2162
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:04,100
tying run Greg Nettles.

2163
01:30:04,660 --> 01:30:06,100
Who is popped a third and hit

2164
01:30:06,100 --> 01:30:06,900
back to the box.

2165
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:10,040
It's always an encouraging side

2166
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:11,300
when your lead off hitter gets

2167
01:30:11,300 --> 01:30:12,740
on base when you're behind in a

2168
01:30:12,740 --> 01:30:13,140
ballgame.

2169
01:30:13,980 --> 01:30:15,080
That's the first inning the

2170
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:16,240
Yankees have been able to do

2171
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:18,240
in the Yankees game.

2172
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:21,480
Oh he gave Nettles his pitch and

2173
01:30:21,480 --> 01:30:22,320
Greg missed it.

2174
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:23,580
I slider.

2175
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,460
As Campanera said first Waffen

2176
01:30:29,460 --> 01:30:30,360
holding him on.

2177
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:41,800
Foul in the upper deck on the

2178
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:42,840
third base side.

2179
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,840
And.

2180
01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:45,920
Oh and two.

2181
01:31:02,660 --> 01:31:04,600
Got him on another high slider

2182
01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:06,300
and Nettles is struck out.

2183
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:08,900
It's only the second strikeout

2184
01:31:08,900 --> 01:31:10,100
for black.

2185
01:31:10,100 --> 01:31:11,300
Here's the pitch again.

2186
01:31:12,900 --> 01:31:14,100
Like that'll swung right through

2187
01:31:14,100 --> 01:31:14,180
it.

2188
01:31:14,440 --> 01:31:14,640
Yeah.

2189
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:17,080
I looped Pennella will be the

2190
01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:18,940
battle who twice has bounced out

2191
01:31:18,940 --> 01:31:19,720
to third base.

2192
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:21,920
You know Scooter the Royals are

2193
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:23,120
in desperate need of pitching.

2194
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:24,820
I'm sure that Dick Hauser the

2195
01:31:24,820 --> 01:31:26,220
Royals manager is happy with the

2196
01:31:26,220 --> 01:31:27,460
job he's getting from this young

2197
01:31:27,460 --> 01:31:27,720
man.

2198
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:28,860
But black this afternoon.

2199
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:30,200
I'm not sure that the two times

2200
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:31,160
the Yankees have seen him.

2201
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:32,500
He's been rough as you mentioned

2202
01:31:32,500 --> 01:31:33,060
before.

2203
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:35,100
All right.

2204
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:36,860
Penelope now with Campanera said

2205
01:31:36,860 --> 01:31:38,200
first and this is about the time

2206
01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:40,200
Lou will shoot one between first

2207
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:40,700
and second.

2208
01:31:42,700 --> 01:31:44,800
A big gap there with Wathen

2209
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:46,580
holding Campanera's on and white

2210
01:31:46,580 --> 01:31:47,440
over near second.

2211
01:31:53,820 --> 01:31:55,320
I outside ball one.

2212
01:32:02,220 --> 01:32:03,660
I think in a situation like this

2213
01:32:03,660 --> 01:32:05,720
but not until unless he gets two

2214
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:07,000
strikes on we'll just look for a

2215
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:08,460
pitch he can drive.

2216
01:32:09,500 --> 01:32:10,100
He will.

2217
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:13,740
Happy narrows back.

2218
01:32:15,300 --> 01:32:16,980
No time to get picked off in his

2219
01:32:16,980 --> 01:32:17,300
spot.

2220
01:32:21,940 --> 01:32:23,680
One ball no strikes on Penelope

2221
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:25,480
and no time for a ground ball

2222
01:32:25,480 --> 01:32:25,720
either.

2223
01:32:25,780 --> 01:32:27,280
No less it finds a hole.

2224
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:32,520
Black made Penelope wait now

2225
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:33,780
lose making black weight.

2226
01:32:33,780 --> 01:32:36,260
He's got a little game of

2227
01:32:36,260 --> 01:32:37,680
psychology right here.

2228
01:32:46,460 --> 01:32:48,160
Back upstairs and out of play.

2229
01:32:48,860 --> 01:32:49,460
One on one.

2230
01:32:50,300 --> 01:32:51,360
But I was trying to go to right

2231
01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:51,860
field with that.

2232
01:32:51,940 --> 01:32:52,740
Yes he was.

2233
01:32:54,440 --> 01:32:55,700
He'll do it at least till he has

2234
01:32:55,700 --> 01:32:57,200
two strikes on him unless black

2235
01:32:57,200 --> 01:32:58,400
comes way inside to him.

2236
01:33:01,440 --> 01:33:02,680
Lose been losing his helmet

2237
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:04,180
swinging must have got a haircut

2238
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:06,280
now that a little loose.

2239
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,020
And again Lou pulled in Amos

2240
01:33:21,020 --> 01:33:21,900
Otis right there.

2241
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:24,400
Just as black was ready to pitch

2242
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:25,460
Lou as the time.

2243
01:33:25,460 --> 01:33:26,560
And he's got a little game.

2244
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:36,500
They say rip the center field.

2245
01:33:37,500 --> 01:33:39,840
I'd said Penelope's got an idea

2246
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:41,240
every time he goes the bad.

2247
01:33:42,340 --> 01:33:43,280
He really does.

2248
01:33:44,140 --> 01:33:45,840
Happy narrows down a second base

2249
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:47,580
the Yankees have the tag runs on

2250
01:33:47,580 --> 01:33:49,720
now and the guns are coming up

2251
01:33:50,260 --> 01:33:51,280
Baylor and Winfield.

2252
01:33:52,060 --> 01:33:53,620
Yogi Bearer have a little chat

2253
01:33:53,620 --> 01:33:55,220
with Manila and they're going to

2254
01:33:55,220 --> 01:33:57,120
be ready to pitch the win field

2255
01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:58,360
the bullpen is going to get hot

2256
01:33:58,360 --> 01:33:58,920
in a hurry.

2257
01:33:59,660 --> 01:34:00,660
A black has not pitched a

2258
01:34:00,660 --> 01:34:01,760
complete game this year.

2259
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:03,960
He had pitched only 72 innings

2260
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:07,940
at his first 11 starts which

2261
01:34:07,940 --> 01:34:11,680
averages out to less than seven

2262
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:12,640
innings per ballgame.

2263
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:14,840
Let's pause 10 seconds along the

2264
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:15,980
Yankee baseball network for

2265
01:34:15,980 --> 01:34:32,020
a quick look at the Yankees

2266
01:34:32,020 --> 01:34:33,960
well you caught a quick look.

2267
01:34:34,460 --> 01:34:36,260
Mike Armstrong right hander

2268
01:34:36,260 --> 01:34:37,800
warming up in the Royal Bullpen

2269
01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:39,960
he's a young man from this area

2270
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:41,540
from Andes New York which is on

2271
01:34:41,540 --> 01:34:44,300
a long island and Boyers taking

2272
01:34:44,300 --> 01:34:47,180
the lead well the Yankees will

2273
01:34:47,180 --> 01:34:48,440
host that he tried Tigers for

2274
01:34:48,440 --> 01:34:49,940
three games August 5th through

2275
01:34:49,940 --> 01:34:52,120
7th highlighted by Skoll Bandit

2276
01:34:52,140 --> 01:34:54,020
Yankee tote bag night on

2277
01:34:54,020 --> 01:34:55,880
Saturday night August 6th and

2278
01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:57,380
Bobby Mercer day on Sunday

2279
01:34:57,380 --> 01:34:59,260
afternoon August 7th.

2280
01:34:59,820 --> 01:35:01,060
Keep those dates in mind.

2281
01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:03,420
Poussin Barry is also going to

2282
01:35:03,420 --> 01:35:04,660
get up in the Royal Bullpen.

2283
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:05,260
All right.

2284
01:35:05,460 --> 01:35:07,500
Don Baylor is open to he's flying

2285
01:35:07,500 --> 01:35:08,860
to left and bounce the second

2286
01:35:10,260 --> 01:35:11,500
on Bobby Mercer day.

2287
01:35:11,500 --> 01:35:14,560
Bobby sends him a gift of a

2288
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:17,000
solid could be gold plated

2289
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:20,100
spittoon for him to get rid of

2290
01:35:20,100 --> 01:35:20,740
his skull.

2291
01:35:23,540 --> 01:35:25,540
Drive that deep left field.

2292
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:26,240
Oh.

2293
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:27,240
Oh.

2294
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:28,140
I.

2295
01:35:28,540 --> 01:35:30,040
Want to tie up the ballgame.

2296
01:35:31,220 --> 01:35:31,520
Campanero.

2297
01:35:31,820 --> 01:35:32,120
Sponsor.

2298
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:32,820
Panellist.

2299
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:33,380
Sponsor.

2300
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:33,960
And.

2301
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:34,960
Ball is in for the.

2302
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:35,480
Triple.

2303
01:35:35,820 --> 01:35:36,980
We've got a tie ballgame.

2304
01:35:36,980 --> 01:35:38,240
And.

2305
01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:39,340
We've got a tie ballgame.

2306
01:35:44,420 --> 01:35:46,220
I got to talk more about this

2307
01:35:46,220 --> 01:35:47,260
spintone from person.

2308
01:35:47,820 --> 01:35:49,360
Because he has been.

2309
01:35:49,380 --> 01:35:50,460
We're going to look at it again

2310
01:35:50,460 --> 01:35:50,920
first though.

2311
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:52,020
All right.

2312
01:35:52,260 --> 01:35:53,100
That pitchers out over the

2313
01:35:53,100 --> 01:35:53,360
plate.

2314
01:35:53,660 --> 01:35:54,800
That's where they don't want to

2315
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:55,360
pitch Baylor.

2316
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:57,460
Let him open up and he can drive

2317
01:35:57,460 --> 01:35:57,860
that ball.

2318
01:35:58,100 --> 01:35:59,360
He drives this one four hundred

2319
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,300
and thirty feet off the wall.

2320
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:03,780
Right there.

2321
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:05,140
Short hopped off the wall.

2322
01:36:05,140 --> 01:36:07,140
And.

2323
01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:08,540
He's got a three to four.

2324
01:36:11,300 --> 01:36:12,880
You are Washington plays the

2325
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:14,580
ball the third as Bonilla scores

2326
01:36:14,580 --> 01:36:16,480
and Baylor has a triple two runs

2327
01:36:16,480 --> 01:36:17,080
about it in.

2328
01:36:17,380 --> 01:36:18,980
And it's a brand new ballgame.

2329
01:36:19,480 --> 01:36:20,920
What Baylor's band has come

2330
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:21,920
alive of late.

2331
01:36:21,980 --> 01:36:22,180
Good.

2332
01:36:22,480 --> 01:36:23,320
Unbelievable.

2333
01:36:23,580 --> 01:36:25,080
And Dave Winfield about it.

2334
01:36:25,460 --> 01:36:26,720
But just the last thought on

2335
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:28,720
Bobby Mercer's spittoon because.

2336
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:31,120
He's been using cups that we

2337
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:32,220
drink coffee in.

2338
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:34,560
And I have nightmares thinking I

2339
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:35,500
don't know what to do.

2340
01:36:38,540 --> 01:36:38,860
All right.

2341
01:36:38,860 --> 01:36:40,940
The infields in this is dangerous

2342
01:36:40,940 --> 01:36:41,840
with Winfield up.

2343
01:36:42,340 --> 01:36:43,680
He takes a strike.

2344
01:36:45,580 --> 01:36:46,740
I'm surprised they don't call

2345
01:36:46,740 --> 01:36:47,280
time out.

2346
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:50,220
And go and check their insurance

2347
01:36:50,220 --> 01:36:50,680
policy.

2348
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:51,180
Yeah.

2349
01:36:51,480 --> 01:36:52,520
And also.

2350
01:36:54,380 --> 01:36:55,620
Bring the right hander in a

2351
01:36:55,620 --> 01:36:56,480
pitch to Winfield.

2352
01:36:58,860 --> 01:37:00,260
Well Quisenberry is not throwing

2353
01:37:00,260 --> 01:37:04,800
the ball.

2354
01:37:05,020 --> 01:37:06,460
Oh go in the seats.

2355
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:08,760
Watson over but he's going to

2356
01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:09,700
run out of room.

2357
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:16,840
Nothing in true on Dave

2358
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:17,480
Winfield.

2359
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:20,580
One man out and.

2360
01:37:20,980 --> 01:37:22,840
That quickly we have a tie ball

2361
01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:23,140
game.

2362
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:26,720
I get the feeling Bill that.

2363
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:28,180
Even though this young man

2364
01:37:28,180 --> 01:37:28,580
pitched a.

2365
01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:30,220
Strong nine innings against the

2366
01:37:30,220 --> 01:37:30,680
Yankees.

2367
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:31,320
They.

2368
01:37:31,820 --> 01:37:33,260
Have a pattern of running out of

2369
01:37:33,260 --> 01:37:33,620
gas.

2370
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:35,200
All right.

2371
01:37:35,420 --> 01:37:36,900
There's Bailor at third Zimmer

2372
01:37:36,900 --> 01:37:37,420
telling him.

2373
01:37:38,020 --> 01:37:39,560
Heads up don't be picked off.

2374
01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:49,800
And Winfield's gone in a second

2375
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:51,800
he's out but they run scores on

2376
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:52,440
the base hit.

2377
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:54,880
And the Yankees take a four to

2378
01:37:54,880 --> 01:38:02,920
three lead.

2379
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:04,080
It is again.

2380
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:06,620
Hard at ball Brett was handcuffed

2381
01:38:06,620 --> 01:38:07,060
by it.

2382
01:38:07,460 --> 01:38:09,420
And Leon Roberts as Baylor scores

2383
01:38:09,420 --> 01:38:11,320
Roberts will make a strong throw

2384
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:12,700
in the second base.

2385
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:16,160
And even though Winfield goes

2386
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:16,840
head first.

2387
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:19,040
He is tagged out.

2388
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:20,340
By Frank White.

2389
01:38:20,340 --> 01:38:22,900
And.

2390
01:38:23,140 --> 01:38:24,540
Boy an exciting inning.

2391
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:27,180
Yankees lead it now four to

2392
01:38:27,180 --> 01:38:27,680
three.

2393
01:38:28,940 --> 01:38:30,380
And Steve kept the batter.

2394
01:38:31,620 --> 01:38:33,220
Why did deep left center.

2395
01:38:34,020 --> 01:38:34,720
Sheridan.

2396
01:38:36,180 --> 01:38:37,520
A one hands it.

2397
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:39,980
Oh they did tattoo black that

2398
01:38:39,980 --> 01:38:40,360
inning.

2399
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:42,160
Three big run.

2400
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:46,120
On four hits nobody left at the

2401
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:47,720
end of six as Frank Messer will

2402
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:48,460
carry you along.

2403
01:38:48,460 --> 01:38:50,020
And.

2404
01:38:50,260 --> 01:38:51,420
Four in the Royals three.

2405
01:38:57,740 --> 01:38:58,640
We got to the seventh inning

2406
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:00,040
here at Yankee Stadium with the

2407
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:01,040
Yankees out in front for the

2408
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:02,600
first time in the ballgame four

2409
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:04,040
to three the Yankees four run

2410
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:05,540
seven hits the Royals three runs

2411
01:39:05,540 --> 01:39:07,480
10 hits and it has been an

2412
01:39:07,480 --> 01:39:09,180
errorless ballgame.

2413
01:39:09,440 --> 01:39:10,940
My Yankee fans are really happy

2414
01:39:10,940 --> 01:39:11,440
aren't they.

2415
01:39:13,780 --> 01:39:15,320
Well Dale Murray has the lead

2416
01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:16,620
now let's see if he can hold it

2417
01:39:16,620 --> 01:39:18,720
off the set position and nips

2418
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:20,060
the outside corner on Brett.

2419
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:21,860
He did some job Frank when he

2420
01:39:21,860 --> 01:39:23,460
came in Dale Murray did when he

2421
01:39:23,460 --> 01:39:24,860
came in to replace Shane Raleigh

2422
01:39:24,860 --> 01:39:26,100
back in the sixth inning.

2423
01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:29,060
Boy did he struck out Sheridan

2424
01:39:29,060 --> 01:39:30,200
on three pitches and got

2425
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:31,600
Washington on a ground ball off

2426
01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:32,260
his glove.

2427
01:39:32,660 --> 01:39:35,280
And that will be a base hit.

2428
01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:43,220
That number 11 here it is again.

2429
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:45,620
Well Dale just did not react to

2430
01:39:45,620 --> 01:39:47,560
it and off the tip end of his

2431
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:49,360
glove and bounces out the Roy

2432
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:51,160
Smalley a shortstop but no play

2433
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:51,800
in first base.

2434
01:39:55,440 --> 01:39:56,640
Well just as I mentioned in the

2435
01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:58,140
bottom half of the sixth if

2436
01:39:58,140 --> 01:39:59,240
you're trailing in a ballgame

2437
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:00,300
it's always a good sign and that

2438
01:40:00,300 --> 01:40:01,780
leadoff man gets on now the

2439
01:40:01,780 --> 01:40:03,480
Royals have their leadoff man on

2440
01:40:03,480 --> 01:40:05,140
and their guns are out McRae and

2441
01:40:05,140 --> 01:40:05,840
Otis to follow.

2442
01:40:09,480 --> 01:40:10,420
Well it could be a little

2443
01:40:10,420 --> 01:40:11,780
different story both of those

2444
01:40:11,780 --> 01:40:13,380
guys are right handed hitters

2445
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:15,080
and now we've got a right handed

2446
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:16,120
pitcher out there and Dale

2447
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:16,420
Murray.

2448
01:40:18,620 --> 01:40:20,560
Inside Dale might have found

2449
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:21,860
out what his problem was

2450
01:40:21,860 --> 01:40:22,900
pitching from the stretch.

2451
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:24,800
Well he told me Bobby that he

2452
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:26,000
found out he could not pitch

2453
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:27,640
both ways he could pitch winding

2454
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:28,740
up or he could pitch off the

2455
01:40:28,740 --> 01:40:29,760
stretch but he couldn't pitch

2456
01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:31,400
from both positions and they

2457
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:33,900
settled with his work in the

2458
01:40:33,900 --> 01:40:36,480
bullpen with Jeff Torborg and

2459
01:40:36,480 --> 01:40:37,200
Dobbs Gala.

2460
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:38,540
We got to give Scala some credit

2461
01:40:38,540 --> 01:40:40,340
out there for going out and

2462
01:40:40,340 --> 01:40:41,820
working with these pitchers.

2463
01:40:42,440 --> 01:40:43,440
They found out that his

2464
01:40:43,440 --> 01:40:45,120
mechanics came back to him just

2465
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:46,780
working off the set position.

2466
01:40:49,260 --> 01:40:50,580
Well whatever it is let's hope

2467
01:40:50,580 --> 01:40:51,280
he keeps it up.

2468
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:52,120
Well I'll tell you.

2469
01:40:54,860 --> 01:40:56,120
Took him half a season to find

2470
01:40:56,120 --> 01:40:57,600
out what it was but if he can

2471
01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,360
pitch the second half of the

2472
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:00,660
year as we know he has pitched

2473
01:41:00,660 --> 01:41:03,040
in the past going to be a big

2474
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:06,400
big plus there's the ground ball

2475
01:41:06,440 --> 01:41:07,200
if they can help.

2476
01:41:08,700 --> 01:41:09,700
Yeah they do get to.

2477
01:41:09,700 --> 01:41:10,320
I don't know.

2478
01:41:10,360 --> 01:41:11,600
McCrae didn't seem to get down

2479
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:12,300
the line too well.

2480
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:14,000
Small had trouble getting the

2481
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:15,100
ball out of his glove.

2482
01:41:15,300 --> 01:41:15,800
He was not.

2483
01:41:15,860 --> 01:41:17,060
McCrae was not running well at

2484
01:41:17,060 --> 01:41:17,560
all.

2485
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:18,700
I don't know if he's got a bad

2486
01:41:18,700 --> 01:41:19,300
leg or what.

2487
01:41:19,340 --> 01:41:20,600
Small he kind of hesitates a

2488
01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:22,680
little bit as he flips the ball

2489
01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:24,000
on over to Campaneras at second

2490
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:27,540
base and he completes the double

2491
01:41:27,540 --> 01:41:29,220
play easily and McCrae really

2492
01:41:29,220 --> 01:41:30,420
wasn't running that well Frank.

2493
01:41:31,020 --> 01:41:32,440
I when small I had trouble

2494
01:41:32,440 --> 01:41:33,520
getting the ball out I had no

2495
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:34,580
idea that they would get the

2496
01:41:34,580 --> 01:41:35,080
double play.

2497
01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:36,860
I looked out and see McCrae is

2498
01:41:36,860 --> 01:41:41,260
not anywhere near first base and

2499
01:41:41,260 --> 01:41:43,020
Brad had made a big hard slide

2500
01:41:43,020 --> 01:41:44,400
into second base too.

2501
01:41:46,300 --> 01:41:49,200
So maybe the Cray does have a

2502
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:50,540
slightly pulled muscle or

2503
01:41:50,540 --> 01:41:51,040
something.

2504
01:41:52,140 --> 01:41:53,800
And now Otis fouls one away off

2505
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:54,540
the right side.

2506
01:41:54,700 --> 01:41:56,000
Either that or he was mad for

2507
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:57,980
hitting the ball on the ground

2508
01:41:58,540 --> 01:42:02,640
shortstop and only McCrae would

2509
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:10,380
know Otis is one for three in

2510
01:42:10,380 --> 01:42:10,880
this game.

2511
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:12,660
Great play by Balboni retired

2512
01:42:12,660 --> 01:42:18,000
him in the second the balls and

2513
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:19,860
two strikes Yankees are leading

2514
01:42:19,860 --> 01:42:34,040
four to three Dale Murray is now

2515
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:42,240
the pitcher of record Murray

2516
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:43,280
will throw that good sinker

2517
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,420
you'll throw a fork ball that

2518
01:42:45,420 --> 01:42:46,480
was a fork ball right there and

2519
01:42:46,480 --> 01:42:47,760
it was an excellent fork ball

2520
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:51,360
it they broke about look like 10

2521
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:51,760
feet.

2522
01:42:52,020 --> 01:42:52,960
I know that's exaggerating a

2523
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:53,960
little bit but that's the way it

2524
01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:54,260
looked.

2525
01:42:58,600 --> 01:42:59,140
I'll back.

2526
01:43:01,740 --> 01:43:03,800
Forkball will come I guess at

2527
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:05,280
about the same speed each time

2528
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:06,480
on a Bobby or can he change

2529
01:43:06,480 --> 01:43:06,980
speeds on it.

2530
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:09,980
I think Dale Murray throws his

2531
01:43:09,980 --> 01:43:12,520
fork ball the same speed he he

2532
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:15,780
throws a harder fork ball than

2533
01:43:15,780 --> 01:43:18,180
and normal guys a lot of guys

2534
01:43:18,180 --> 01:43:19,260
don't throw it as hard as he

2535
01:43:19,260 --> 01:43:19,560
does.

2536
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:24,900
And it's fouled away back over

2537
01:43:24,900 --> 01:43:25,200
the dugout.

2538
01:43:25,700 --> 01:43:26,700
That'll be well back in the

2539
01:43:26,700 --> 01:43:27,000
seats.

2540
01:43:27,500 --> 01:43:31,840
In fact it made the upper deck

2541
01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:38,000
who was the first pitcher of

2542
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:39,080
note to have the fork ball.

2543
01:43:40,540 --> 01:43:41,540
Delroy face throw a fork ball.

2544
01:43:42,340 --> 01:43:42,840
Yes that's right.

2545
01:43:43,380 --> 01:43:44,540
He may not have been the first

2546
01:43:44,540 --> 01:43:45,920
one of note really but that's

2547
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:46,820
where I first started hearing

2548
01:43:46,820 --> 01:43:48,980
about it when face compiled that

2549
01:43:48,980 --> 01:43:50,020
great relief record.

2550
01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:54,660
Chuck him out.

2551
01:43:55,820 --> 01:43:57,420
So Murray does the job here in

2552
01:43:57,420 --> 01:43:59,200
the seventh and in the middle of

2553
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:00,760
the seventh inning the score the

2554
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:02,360
Yankees for the Royals three.

2555
01:44:12,580 --> 01:44:13,580
Well we'll have a new program

2556
01:44:13,580 --> 01:44:14,640
for the Yankees.

2557
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:15,980
Well we'll have a new pitcher

2558
01:44:15,980 --> 01:44:18,140
for the Kansas City Royals Mike

2559
01:44:18,140 --> 01:44:19,720
Armstrong and while he warms up

2560
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:20,720
I'll have a chance to tell you

2561
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:22,180
the Yankees will host the Detroit

2562
01:44:22,180 --> 01:44:24,120
Tigers for a three game weekend

2563
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:25,820
series August 5th through 7th

2564
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:27,660
highlighted by Skoll Bandit

2565
01:44:27,660 --> 01:44:29,820
Yankee tote bag night and Bobby

2566
01:44:29,820 --> 01:44:30,960
Mercer Day here at Yankee

2567
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:31,220
Stadium.

2568
01:44:31,700 --> 01:44:33,300
All fans attending the game on

2569
01:44:33,300 --> 01:44:34,860
Saturday night August 6th will

2570
01:44:34,860 --> 01:44:36,240
receive a Yankee tote bag

2571
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:38,060
compliments of Skoll Bandit and

2572
01:44:38,060 --> 01:44:39,740
on Sunday afternoon August 7th

2573
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:41,300
one of the most beloved Yankees

2574
01:44:41,300 --> 01:44:43,300
of all time Bobby Mercer will be

2575
01:44:43,300 --> 01:44:44,900
on the Yankee tote bag night.

2576
01:44:44,900 --> 01:44:46,240
We'll have a look at the Yankee

2577
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:47,440
tote bag game on Bobby Mercer

2578
01:44:47,440 --> 01:44:47,740
Day.

2579
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:52,720
Mike Armstrong.

2580
01:44:54,620 --> 01:44:56,080
Right here in the greater New

2581
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:56,680
York area.

2582
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:00,260
And these New York with a record

2583
01:45:00,260 --> 01:45:02,160
of four wins five losses and two

2584
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:05,160
saves making his 32nd relief

2585
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:05,660
appearance.

2586
01:45:07,700 --> 01:45:08,860
That the eight any speech is

2587
01:45:08,860 --> 01:45:09,760
allowed forty seven.

2588
01:45:11,260 --> 01:45:13,060
One twenty five struck out twenty

2589
01:45:13,060 --> 01:45:13,640
seven.

2590
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:16,300
No it is not Frank and.

2591
01:45:18,200 --> 01:45:19,500
I'm not sure that Dick Houser

2592
01:45:19,500 --> 01:45:21,980
might be just one or two batters

2593
01:45:21,980 --> 01:45:23,180
short on Mike Armstrong.

2594
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:25,740
And a couple of right handed

2595
01:45:25,740 --> 01:45:27,880
hitters in the last inning when

2596
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:29,480
the Yankees took the lead and

2597
01:45:29,480 --> 01:45:31,020
they left they chose to leave

2598
01:45:31,020 --> 01:45:32,280
but black out there the left

2599
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:33,580
handed pitcher to take care of

2600
01:45:33,580 --> 01:45:34,460
those right handed hitters.

2601
01:45:35,420 --> 01:45:38,420
And now Mike Armstrong comes in

2602
01:45:40,020 --> 01:45:41,020
he'll be pitching to Don

2603
01:45:41,020 --> 01:45:44,260
and he will pinch it for Steve

2604
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:44,760
Balboni.

2605
01:45:45,460 --> 01:45:47,000
Not only has a nine game

2606
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:48,740
hitting streak batting two ninety

2607
01:45:48,740 --> 01:45:50,600
three one home run eleven runs

2608
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:51,000
batted in.

2609
01:46:00,580 --> 01:46:01,080
Ball one.

2610
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:03,440
You know you talk about Mattingly

2611
01:46:03,440 --> 01:46:04,780
nine game hitting streak and the

2612
01:46:04,780 --> 01:46:06,120
way he sprays the ball around

2613
01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:06,820
he's a good hitter.

2614
01:46:08,980 --> 01:46:10,220
Billy Martin is going to have

2615
01:46:10,220 --> 01:46:11,560
to make some decisions to make

2616
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:12,820
when he gets Griffey and Randolph

2617
01:46:12,820 --> 01:46:14,020
back off the disabled list.

2618
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:15,720
I'm glad I don't have to make

2619
01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:16,600
those decisions.

2620
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:19,260
Two balls and no strikes.

2621
01:46:20,300 --> 01:46:22,640
No speaking of Mattingly is

2622
01:46:22,860 --> 01:46:23,540
hitting streak.

2623
01:46:23,700 --> 01:46:25,000
He's a contact hitter he does

2624
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:26,100
not strike out much.

2625
01:46:26,300 --> 01:46:28,380
He sprays the ball around and.

2626
01:46:30,180 --> 01:46:31,240
Makes a lot of contact.

2627
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:41,220
That makes it two and one there

2628
01:46:41,220 --> 01:46:42,320
are the figures on Mattingly

2629
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:43,120
very impressive.

2630
01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:48,660
Big arms.

2631
01:46:48,660 --> 01:46:57,900
And the left field ball three

2632
01:47:03,580 --> 01:47:05,720
the figures on Mike Armstrong

2633
01:47:14,220 --> 01:47:15,920
and the left field but right at

2634
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:17,420
the left fielder Leon Roberts

2635
01:47:17,420 --> 01:47:18,460
who's a left fielder.

2636
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:27,200
Bryce Molly will turn around

2637
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:28,340
and become a left hand batter.

2638
01:47:29,440 --> 01:47:30,700
He went one for two.

2639
01:47:32,300 --> 01:47:33,200
Against Bud Black.

2640
01:47:36,180 --> 01:47:37,740
Almost had two for two but

2641
01:47:37,740 --> 01:47:39,180
Willie Wilson made a great catch

2642
01:47:39,180 --> 01:47:40,440
on him and Wilson hurt his

2643
01:47:40,440 --> 01:47:42,620
shoulder in making that diving

2644
01:47:42,620 --> 01:47:44,180
catch and eventually had to leave

2645
01:47:44,180 --> 01:47:44,720
the ballgame.

2646
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:45,920
And the ball out in a straight

2647
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:47,700
away center field center fielder

2648
01:47:47,900 --> 01:47:49,400
Sheridan hardly has to move for

2649
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:49,600
it.

2650
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:51,600
And there are two out.

2651
01:47:56,140 --> 01:47:57,800
But black went six innings gave

2652
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:00,180
up four runs all earned seven

2653
01:48:00,180 --> 01:48:00,440
hits.

2654
01:48:00,680 --> 01:48:01,780
He did not walk anybody and he

2655
01:48:01,780 --> 01:48:02,640
struck out to.

2656
01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:08,920
And Rick's own batting in the

2657
01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:10,420
number nine spot he's flying to

2658
01:48:10,420 --> 01:48:10,880
center.

2659
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:13,160
And robbed of a base hit on a

2660
01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:14,720
play by George Brett at third.

2661
01:48:22,560 --> 01:48:23,100
In the dirt.

2662
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:30,940
In addition to the three men the

2663
01:48:30,940 --> 01:48:32,180
Yankees have on the disabled

2664
01:48:32,180 --> 01:48:33,380
list they have other nagging

2665
01:48:33,380 --> 01:48:34,840
injuries that have not disabled

2666
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:35,340
players.

2667
01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:37,620
Whinegar and gamble both with

2668
01:48:37,620 --> 01:48:38,420
groin injuries.

2669
01:48:38,420 --> 01:48:38,920
And.

2670
01:48:39,300 --> 01:48:39,620
The.

2671
01:48:39,700 --> 01:48:40,000
Reds.

2672
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:40,400
Right.

2673
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:46,360
Andre Robertson with a.

2674
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:48,000
Bruised hand.

2675
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:53,580
Reds lead the Mets 4 to 2 in the

2676
01:48:53,580 --> 01:48:54,200
eighth inning.

2677
01:48:55,180 --> 01:48:55,740
There we see.

2678
01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:58,320
Bob surely the left hander and

2679
01:48:58,320 --> 01:48:59,640
Jay how the right hander warming

2680
01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:00,720
up for the Yankees now.

2681
01:49:03,180 --> 01:49:04,720
And Serone takes a low breaking

2682
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:05,620
ball two and one.

2683
01:49:05,620 --> 01:49:08,980
The Yankees did well as a

2684
01:49:09,020 --> 01:49:09,320
winner.

2685
01:49:09,460 --> 01:49:10,920
The Yankees took a low breaking

2686
01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:12,580
ball as defeated Houston 7 to

2687
01:49:12,580 --> 01:49:12,960
3.

2688
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:16,160
Pittsburgh beat the Giants 3 to

2689
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:17,460
1 in the first game of a double

2690
01:49:17,460 --> 01:49:18,800
header no report on the second

2691
01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:20,220
game cardinals lead the Dodgers

2692
01:49:20,220 --> 01:49:21,240
three nothing and they're on the

2693
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:21,840
eighth inning now.

2694
01:49:24,860 --> 01:49:26,400
And it's the Cubs for the

2695
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:27,700
Padres 2 in the seventh.

2696
01:49:29,300 --> 01:49:30,340
3 and 1 on Serone.

2697
01:49:30,900 --> 01:49:32,400
And kind of gloomy all day the

2698
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:33,640
trying to burn his way through

2699
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:34,240
your right bomb.

2700
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:36,980
So wrong draws a walk.

2701
01:49:38,380 --> 01:49:39,720
Well the Yankees have a runner

2702
01:49:40,440 --> 01:49:41,620
with two outs and that is the

2703
01:49:41,620 --> 01:49:42,280
first one.

2704
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,280
Issued to a Yankee batter this

2705
01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:44,860
afternoon.

2706
01:49:57,700 --> 01:49:59,560
We're told that Yankee trainer

2707
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:00,560
Gene Monahan.

2708
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:02,260
Aided in the rehabilitation of

2709
01:50:02,260 --> 01:50:02,900
Dale Murray.

2710
01:50:03,460 --> 01:50:05,160
With a special diet Murray shed

2711
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:06,360
a few pounds six.

2712
01:50:06,900 --> 01:50:08,060
I'm told to be exact.

2713
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:09,900
Which has.

2714
01:50:11,540 --> 01:50:12,900
Possibly been a help.

2715
01:50:13,580 --> 01:50:14,900
Campanaro sits a fly ball to

2716
01:50:14,900 --> 01:50:16,480
right field and that should

2717
01:50:16,480 --> 01:50:17,380
retire the side.

2718
01:50:18,380 --> 01:50:19,340
Picked off by Otis.

2719
01:50:19,820 --> 01:50:21,380
No runs no hits a walk a man

2720
01:50:21,380 --> 01:50:23,080
left we completed seven with a

2721
01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:24,580
score the Yankees four and the

2722
01:50:24,580 --> 01:50:30,720
Royals three.

2723
01:50:32,020 --> 01:50:33,320
We'll take a quick look at the

2724
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:35,160
Texas series for the Yankees the

2725
01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:36,920
pitcher tomorrow night will be

2726
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:38,100
Dave Brigetti against Mike

2727
01:50:38,100 --> 01:50:38,600
Smithson.

2728
01:50:39,200 --> 01:50:40,960
Tuesday night Ray Fontana against

2729
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:42,800
Frank Tanana and Wednesday night

2730
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:44,800
three Matt Keough against Charlie

2731
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:45,100
Huff.

2732
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:46,900
We will televised the ballgame

2733
01:50:46,900 --> 01:50:49,200
Tuesday night here on the Yankee

2734
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:50,740
television network Don Mattingly

2735
01:50:50,740 --> 01:50:52,640
is in the ballgame at first base.

2736
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:54,480
I also see Willie Mays Aikens

2737
01:50:54,480 --> 01:50:56,520
come out on the on deck circle

2738
01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:58,080
for the Royals so we might have

2739
01:50:58,080 --> 01:50:58,580
a pinch hitter.

2740
01:50:59,920 --> 01:51:01,320
For Leon Roberts there is

2741
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:02,620
Willie Mays Aikens.

2742
01:51:05,820 --> 01:51:07,360
And Wathen becomes a key man

2743
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:08,420
right here for the Royals.

2744
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:10,360
He takes a strike on the first

2745
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:10,960
pitch from Murray.

2746
01:51:18,140 --> 01:51:19,500
Both times Wathen has been on

2747
01:51:19,500 --> 01:51:20,800
base this afternoon he has

2748
01:51:20,800 --> 01:51:22,800
scored he reached on a walk and

2749
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:25,280
then single and came into score

2750
01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:27,480
runs number one and two driven

2751
01:51:27,480 --> 01:51:32,580
in both times by Frank White to

2752
01:51:32,580 --> 01:51:40,620
strikes on Wathen there was the

2753
01:51:40,620 --> 01:51:42,120
forkball it looked like to me

2754
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:44,420
although I'm a lot of way away

2755
01:51:44,420 --> 01:51:46,560
from it more like a fastball.

2756
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:48,960
One of those sinking fastballs

2757
01:51:48,960 --> 01:51:51,460
that there's Jean Monahan who

2758
01:51:51,460 --> 01:51:53,940
has put as you said Dale Murray

2759
01:51:53,940 --> 01:51:57,080
on a special diet and if I keep

2760
01:51:57,080 --> 01:51:58,200
ballooning up I'm gonna have to

2761
01:51:58,200 --> 01:51:59,580
go down and have my hand put me

2762
01:51:59,580 --> 01:51:59,980
on a diet.

2763
01:52:00,440 --> 01:52:01,740
I should have gone to him but

2764
01:52:02,740 --> 01:52:11,220
15 years ago let's see 15 years

2765
01:52:11,220 --> 01:52:12,560
ago I guess Jean Monahan might

2766
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:13,760
have still been battling with

2767
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:16,720
the ball for the Fort Lauderdale

2768
01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:17,020
ballclub.

2769
01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:19,900
You'd have to go all the way

2770
01:52:19,900 --> 01:52:20,800
down to Fort Lauderdale.

2771
01:52:21,060 --> 01:52:21,300
Yeah.

2772
01:52:24,100 --> 01:52:28,500
That's where he started and to

2773
01:52:28,500 --> 01:52:30,100
start you on your program he

2774
01:52:30,100 --> 01:52:31,500
might have had you run down to

2775
01:52:31,500 --> 01:52:32,100
Fort Lauderdale.

2776
01:52:32,900 --> 01:52:34,280
Fifteen years ago I could have

2777
01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:35,680
got part of the way I could do

2778
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:36,180
it anymore.

2779
01:52:36,180 --> 01:52:36,380
But.

2780
01:52:36,380 --> 01:52:42,380
Oh and to count on John Watson

2781
01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:45,420
I'll be back and stays alive

2782
01:52:45,420 --> 01:52:46,760
all right with an upstairs

2783
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:48,800
fastball Bobby Mercer a big day

2784
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:49,800
coming up for you here at Yankee

2785
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:50,100
Stadium.

2786
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:51,760
You're looking forward to it on

2787
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:52,600
the 7th of August.

2788
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:56,300
I never thought that there would

2789
01:52:56,300 --> 01:52:58,500
be a day for me here at Yankee

2790
01:52:58,500 --> 01:53:01,940
Stadium and I can see that

2791
01:53:01,940 --> 01:53:03,140
there's a lot of people out there

2792
01:53:03,140 --> 01:53:03,940
who are going to be here.

2793
01:53:03,940 --> 01:53:06,000
I've been here for a long time

2794
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:07,300
and I've been here at Yankee

2795
01:53:07,300 --> 01:53:10,280
Stadium and I consider it the

2796
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:11,540
biggest honor that I've ever had

2797
01:53:11,540 --> 01:53:12,080
in my life.

2798
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:15,820
Well I have to agree it's going

2799
01:53:15,820 --> 01:53:17,320
to be a tremendous honor for you

2800
01:53:17,320 --> 01:53:19,320
Bob and I'm just happy it's

2801
01:53:20,260 --> 01:53:21,920
going to be coming up August 7

2802
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:23,360
Bobby Mercer day here at Yankee

2803
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:23,760
Stadium.

2804
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:33,500
I'll tell you I've seen your

2805
01:53:33,500 --> 01:53:35,000
players for several years give

2806
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:36,500
you that standing ovation

2807
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:38,200
whether you got a hit or not.

2808
01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:39,580
And I know they're all going to

2809
01:53:39,580 --> 01:53:40,700
be out here on August 7th.

2810
01:53:41,300 --> 01:53:42,780
I have a few Oklahoma news here

2811
01:53:42,780 --> 01:53:43,040
too.

2812
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:43,680
All right.

2813
01:53:44,340 --> 01:53:44,920
Oh no.

2814
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:46,240
Kevin Harris is right there.

2815
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:48,240
What.

2816
01:53:51,820 --> 01:53:53,080
Would have Oklahoma and speak in

2817
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:53,580
Oklahoma.

2818
01:53:53,620 --> 01:53:54,120
Right.

2819
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:54,380
Yeah.

2820
01:53:57,020 --> 01:53:58,520
There's Willie Mays Aiken so

2821
01:53:58,520 --> 01:53:59,800
he's going to come into the game

2822
01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:01,660
and take the place of Leon

2823
01:54:01,660 --> 01:54:07,800
Lowe not in the field but at the

2824
01:54:07,800 --> 01:54:08,100
plate.

2825
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:08,540
Yep.

2826
01:54:09,940 --> 01:54:11,340
Now he won't take his place on

2827
01:54:11,340 --> 01:54:11,900
the outfield.

2828
01:54:14,380 --> 01:54:14,580
Mr.

2829
01:54:14,580 --> 01:54:16,280
Aikens is batting three twenty

2830
01:54:16,280 --> 01:54:17,980
four nine home runs thirty three

2831
01:54:17,980 --> 01:54:18,620
runs batted in.

2832
01:54:24,820 --> 01:54:26,380
He is two for ten in the series

2833
01:54:26,380 --> 01:54:30,440
and he's going to be the first

2834
01:54:30,440 --> 01:54:31,320
to strike one.

2835
01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:36,760
What a difference in Dale Murray

2836
01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:38,520
over the early part of the

2837
01:54:38,520 --> 01:54:38,820
season.

2838
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:46,400
A strike.

2839
01:54:47,100 --> 01:54:48,100
It could have happened better

2840
01:54:48,100 --> 01:54:49,560
for the Yankees the Yankees got

2841
01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:51,040
three key guys hit the ball now

2842
01:54:51,040 --> 01:54:53,600
when field Baylor and Kip and

2843
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:54,940
now it looks like they've got

2844
01:54:54,940 --> 01:54:57,340
a stretch run that's got to be

2845
01:54:57,700 --> 01:55:01,300
a big plus for the Yankees in

2846
01:55:01,300 --> 01:55:03,240
the air the left field campus

2847
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:03,740
after it.

2848
01:55:04,300 --> 01:55:06,640
Up his full body catches up to

2849
01:55:06,640 --> 01:55:06,820
it.

2850
01:55:07,740 --> 01:55:08,820
I don't know the camp lost that

2851
01:55:08,820 --> 01:55:10,240
ball for just a second or not or

2852
01:55:10,240 --> 01:55:11,420
whether he's just fooled by it

2853
01:55:11,420 --> 01:55:13,580
but he put on that late burst of

2854
01:55:13,580 --> 01:55:14,820
speed and caught up with it.

2855
01:55:15,880 --> 01:55:17,460
Well I think he lost the ball in

2856
01:55:17,460 --> 01:55:18,660
the sun the sun is trying to

2857
01:55:18,660 --> 01:55:20,300
peek through the clouds now and

2858
01:55:20,300 --> 01:55:21,820
left field is the sun field here

2859
01:55:21,820 --> 01:55:22,820
at Yankee Stadium during the

2860
01:55:22,820 --> 01:55:23,420
daytime.

2861
01:55:23,420 --> 01:55:24,900
And he did lose it there for a

2862
01:55:24,900 --> 01:55:26,560
minute but he recovered quickly

2863
01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:28,040
and makes an easy play of it.

2864
01:55:28,560 --> 01:55:29,960
He flipped those glasses down

2865
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:30,900
that's when I think he picked

2866
01:55:30,900 --> 01:55:32,100
the ball up again after he flipped

2867
01:55:32,100 --> 01:55:33,400
the glasses then when he started

2868
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:34,480
really digging hard for it.

2869
01:55:35,680 --> 01:55:37,180
There are two outs and Frank

2870
01:55:37,180 --> 01:55:38,380
White the batter he's driven in

2871
01:55:38,380 --> 01:55:39,840
two runs with a single and a

2872
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:40,940
triple and a ground out.

2873
01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:42,780
Kemp asked Dave Winfield I said

2874
01:55:42,780 --> 01:55:44,580
what about where I play guys in

2875
01:55:44,580 --> 01:55:45,020
left field.

2876
01:55:45,720 --> 01:55:47,460
They says just look for my brown

2877
01:55:47,460 --> 01:55:48,380
spot where I play.

2878
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:51,020
The big brown spot left field

2879
01:55:51,020 --> 01:55:52,520
where Dave Winfield stands and

2880
01:55:52,520 --> 01:55:54,320
most of the left fielder the

2881
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:56,060
bot picked up bare handed and he

2882
01:55:56,060 --> 01:55:56,860
throws him out.

2883
01:55:57,100 --> 01:55:59,660
Nice fielding play by Murray and

2884
01:55:59,660 --> 01:56:01,560
that will retire the side in

2885
01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:02,260
order.

2886
01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:04,100
And in the middle of the eighth

2887
01:56:04,100 --> 01:56:05,400
inning the score remains the

2888
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:07,240
Yankees four in the Royals three

2889
01:56:14,220 --> 01:56:14,740
space.

2890
01:56:15,620 --> 01:56:16,920
All right Frank we've got some

2891
01:56:16,920 --> 01:56:18,580
changes Willie Mays Aikens who

2892
01:56:18,580 --> 01:56:20,480
went into him for Leon Roberts

2893
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:21,920
goes into first base and just

2894
01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:26,260
a little bit of a

2895
01:56:26,260 --> 01:56:27,520
little bit of a space base and

2896
01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:28,720
John Walton who was playing

2897
01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:30,060
first base moves out the left

2898
01:56:30,060 --> 01:56:31,860
field in place of Leon Roberts.

2899
01:56:33,100 --> 01:56:34,160
All right Bobby and we'll go to

2900
01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:35,160
the bottom half of the eighth

2901
01:56:35,160 --> 01:56:36,400
inning with Nettles but now

2902
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:37,700
and Baylor is scheduled up

2903
01:56:37,940 --> 01:56:39,140
against right hander Mike

2904
01:56:39,140 --> 01:56:39,900
Armstrong.

2905
01:56:40,440 --> 01:56:43,280
Greg is all for three popped up

2906
01:56:43,280 --> 01:56:44,580
bounce to the pitcher and struck

2907
01:56:44,580 --> 01:56:44,880
out.

2908
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:50,880
Did that was was Willie Mays

2909
01:56:50,880 --> 01:56:55,880
Aikens strange thing about it.

2910
01:56:56,160 --> 01:56:58,020
It's been noted that Willie

2911
01:56:58,020 --> 01:57:00,120
Aikens does not like the name

2912
01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:01,220
Willie Mays Aikens.

2913
01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:03,900
I really don't know why and what

2914
01:57:03,900 --> 01:57:05,500
does he like Willie Willie.

2915
01:57:10,860 --> 01:57:12,400
Well if I can think of it I will

2916
01:57:12,400 --> 01:57:13,740
call him Willie Mays Aikens

2917
01:57:13,740 --> 01:57:14,200
anymore.

2918
01:57:14,280 --> 01:57:15,340
I'll try to call him Willie.

2919
01:57:15,340 --> 01:57:16,800
I'll try to call him Willie.

2920
01:57:21,340 --> 01:57:23,440
Take a look at the pitcher.

2921
01:57:23,940 --> 01:57:24,840
Armstrong.

2922
01:57:29,980 --> 01:57:31,380
Ball and two strikes on Greg.

2923
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:32,780
A lot of pitchers like to move

2924
01:57:32,780 --> 01:57:33,980
that ball around in their hand

2925
01:57:33,980 --> 01:57:36,320
that they're trying to get that

2926
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:38,020
feel of the ball and they'll

2927
01:57:38,020 --> 01:57:39,320
wiggle and move the ball around

2928
01:57:39,320 --> 01:57:40,760
in their hands a lot just to

2929
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:45,660
get that feel of the ball that's

2930
01:57:45,660 --> 01:57:51,740
doing to the way that Armstrong

2931
01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:53,500
delivers a ball to the plate he

2932
01:57:53,500 --> 01:57:55,080
could be pretty tough on

2933
01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:56,280
right handers he's kind of a

2934
01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:57,280
sidearm sling it.

2935
01:57:58,340 --> 01:57:58,980
Hi pitcher.

2936
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:03,780
And he works the count fall.

2937
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:06,960
He throws both the break in

2938
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:08,560
pitch and his fastball from

2939
01:58:08,560 --> 01:58:09,920
basically the same position

2940
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:11,420
that he's got on his sidearm.

2941
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:14,800
That means the left hand hitter

2942
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:15,920
would get a better look at it.

2943
01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:16,200
Right.

2944
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:19,540
Walked in.

2945
01:58:24,400 --> 01:58:25,440
Second walk given up by

2946
01:58:25,440 --> 01:58:26,980
Armstrong and the Yankees have

2947
01:58:26,980 --> 01:58:28,740
the lead off man on the Yankees

2948
01:58:28,740 --> 01:58:31,540
are out in front of three and

2949
01:58:31,540 --> 01:58:37,880
Lupin on will step in who made

2950
01:58:37,880 --> 01:58:40,980
the sixth inning when Baylor hit

2951
01:58:40,980 --> 01:58:42,380
that ball deep to left center

2952
01:58:42,380 --> 01:58:44,760
and he'd already made up his

2953
01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:45,560
mind that they were going to

2954
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:45,860
catch it.

2955
01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:46,920
That's the reason he was able to

2956
01:58:46,920 --> 01:58:47,800
score on that triple.

2957
01:58:51,460 --> 01:58:52,640
Good judgment on the bases

2958
01:58:56,700 --> 01:58:58,640
strike one he will run or the

2959
01:58:58,640 --> 01:58:59,580
bump but I don't know if he was

2960
01:58:59,580 --> 01:59:15,620
going to slap at it or but it

2961
01:59:22,800 --> 01:59:24,360
he wants it and foul.

2962
01:59:26,700 --> 01:59:27,840
What was that act but I'll put

2963
01:59:27,840 --> 01:59:28,400
on down there.

2964
01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:29,340
I don't know.

2965
01:59:29,340 --> 01:59:31,940
That was a delayed bunt swing.

2966
01:59:31,980 --> 01:59:33,180
We'll take a look at it here.

2967
01:59:34,380 --> 01:59:34,640
He.

2968
01:59:36,020 --> 01:59:37,220
He knew that he made a mistake

2969
01:59:37,940 --> 01:59:39,380
so he decided to take it out of

2970
01:59:39,380 --> 01:59:39,820
the dirt.

2971
01:59:41,660 --> 01:59:42,820
That's a kind of a funny way to

2972
01:59:42,820 --> 01:59:44,060
but I don't know the Lou Bunt's

2973
01:59:44,060 --> 01:59:45,160
very much.

2974
01:59:46,360 --> 01:59:48,220
Normally a guy will slide the

2975
01:59:48,360 --> 01:59:50,060
top hand up towards the barrel

2976
01:59:50,060 --> 01:59:50,960
of the bat to.

2977
01:59:51,900 --> 01:59:52,500
Tempt the bump.

2978
01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:55,700
Well he has not bonded this

2979
01:59:55,700 --> 01:59:56,060
year.

2980
01:59:56,060 --> 01:59:58,220
He's got a lot of balls.

2981
01:59:58,460 --> 01:59:59,120
We know that.

2982
02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:02,900
Those is bad at that one and

2983
02:00:02,900 --> 02:00:03,560
files it back.

2984
02:00:04,500 --> 02:00:05,660
Well we're getting everything

2985
02:00:05,660 --> 02:00:06,740
from Lou Padilla today.

2986
02:00:10,400 --> 02:00:11,140
That's what you call a

2987
02:00:11,140 --> 02:00:12,100
protection swing.

2988
02:00:18,440 --> 02:00:19,820
Might ask you which stance

2989
02:00:19,840 --> 02:00:21,380
vanilla is using now Bobby what

2990
02:00:21,380 --> 02:00:22,220
number stances.

2991
02:00:22,620 --> 02:00:24,380
Let me just take one quick look

2992
02:00:24,380 --> 02:00:30,640
at the

2993
02:00:30,660 --> 02:00:31,360
looks like.

2994
02:00:32,120 --> 02:00:35,000
Yep that's 3 14 3 4 3 14.

2995
02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:35,600
OK.

2996
02:00:40,840 --> 02:00:42,340
In the air the center field that

2997
02:00:42,340 --> 02:00:43,600
will not advance the runner

2998
02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:45,700
Nuttles does go back and tag

2999
02:00:45,700 --> 02:00:46,940
he'll force a throw from the

3000
02:00:46,940 --> 02:00:48,140
center fielder Sheridan.

3001
02:00:48,780 --> 02:00:50,780
But the throw is true to second

3002
02:00:50,780 --> 02:00:52,340
baseman Frank White and Nuttles

3003
02:00:52,340 --> 02:00:54,580
will not advance the runner

3004
02:00:54,580 --> 02:00:56,020
Nuttles will not advance the

3005
02:00:56,020 --> 02:00:56,320
runner.

3006
02:00:56,520 --> 02:00:58,420
He'll stand three four teams for

3007
02:00:58,660 --> 02:00:59,280
a week or so.

3008
02:01:02,960 --> 02:01:04,220
There's the there's our

3009
02:01:04,220 --> 02:01:05,620
attendance this afternoon thirty

3010
02:01:05,620 --> 02:01:07,100
three thousand nine hundred and

3011
02:01:07,100 --> 02:01:07,860
forty four.

3012
02:01:08,200 --> 02:01:09,800
So the three openings against

3013
02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:10,940
Kansas City have drawn one

3014
02:01:10,940 --> 02:01:12,760
hundred and fifteen thousand

3015
02:01:12,800 --> 02:01:14,060
six hundred.

3016
02:01:19,580 --> 02:01:21,480
Baylor pops it up on the right

3017
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:22,440
side of the field.

3018
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:23,480
Two down.

3019
02:01:24,380 --> 02:01:25,680
I'm sure of the weather had not

3020
02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:27,420
been threatening all morning and

3021
02:01:27,420 --> 02:01:28,580
we had some heavy rain all

3022
02:01:28,580 --> 02:01:30,260
around the area earlier today

3023
02:01:30,720 --> 02:01:32,320
that this crowd would have been

3024
02:01:32,320 --> 02:01:34,160
the third consecutive 40

3025
02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:35,520
thousand plus crowd for the

3026
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:35,860
series.

3027
02:01:40,300 --> 02:01:41,460
Here's Dave Winfield.

3028
02:01:41,960 --> 02:01:43,640
Minnesota is now defeated.

3029
02:01:47,140 --> 02:01:48,440
Who are they playing a change in

3030
02:01:48,440 --> 02:01:48,700
the.

3031
02:01:48,700 --> 02:01:50,400
I'm not sure.

3032
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:51,200
I'm not sure.

3033
02:01:51,200 --> 02:01:51,500
I'm not sure.

3034
02:01:51,740 --> 02:01:52,100
I'm not sure.

3035
02:01:52,340 --> 02:01:52,700
Excuse me.

3036
02:01:52,700 --> 02:01:53,400
Cleveland.

3037
02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:54,480
Seven to five.

3038
02:01:55,480 --> 02:01:56,740
I was looking up and I looked

3039
02:01:56,740 --> 02:01:58,180
away and then James the board on

3040
02:01:58,180 --> 02:01:58,480
me.

3041
02:01:58,940 --> 02:02:00,440
And Cincinnati beat the Mets

3042
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:01,120
four to two.

3043
02:02:01,420 --> 02:02:02,920
We told the earlier Montreal

3044
02:02:03,380 --> 02:02:05,080
trip Houston up seven to three.

3045
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:07,420
Cardinals beat the Dodgers

3046
02:02:07,420 --> 02:02:08,660
threes at Winfield up.

3047
02:02:12,020 --> 02:02:13,220
Had an average attendance of

3048
02:02:13,220 --> 02:02:14,400
thirty eight thousand five

3049
02:02:14,400 --> 02:02:15,560
hundred and thirty three four

3050
02:02:15,560 --> 02:02:18,060
game per game for this three

3051
02:02:18,060 --> 02:02:18,760
game.

3052
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:20,400
That's a little too shabby.

3053
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:22,140
Now somebody tell me how far

3054
02:02:22,140 --> 02:02:23,540
Winfield hit that home run into

3055
02:02:23,540 --> 02:02:24,600
the monuments out there his

3056
02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:25,200
first time up.

3057
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:27,400
Got to be 450 or 460.

3058
02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:27,880
Yeah.

3059
02:02:28,100 --> 02:02:28,680
At least.

3060
02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:30,140
Scooter said he thought about

3061
02:02:30,140 --> 02:02:31,480
470 to 75.

3062
02:02:34,040 --> 02:02:34,880
Broke his bat.

3063
02:02:34,920 --> 02:02:36,020
He's going to get a base hit.

3064
02:02:37,080 --> 02:02:38,380
Splittered the bat and that

3065
02:02:38,380 --> 02:02:39,820
also is going to go to third.

3066
02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:42,080
When field goes halfway to

3067
02:02:42,080 --> 02:02:43,720
second and retreats as the throw

3068
02:02:43,720 --> 02:02:44,220
comes in.

3069
02:02:44,220 --> 02:02:45,920
Winfield has his third hit of

3070
02:02:45,920 --> 02:02:46,320
the game.

3071
02:02:50,360 --> 02:02:51,420
Well we'll take a look at it.

3072
02:02:51,420 --> 02:02:52,660
He was fooled a little bit.

3073
02:02:52,700 --> 02:02:54,100
The pitch was way on the outside

3074
02:02:54,100 --> 02:02:54,760
part of the plate.

3075
02:02:54,800 --> 02:02:55,960
He just actually just threw his

3076
02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:56,560
bat at it.

3077
02:02:57,240 --> 02:02:59,060
And but he happened to get a

3078
02:02:59,060 --> 02:03:00,740
good part of the ball and we see

3079
02:03:00,740 --> 02:03:02,800
Greg Nettles going from first to

3080
02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:03,380
third.

3081
02:03:03,980 --> 02:03:05,280
The ball was not hit that hard

3082
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:06,340
out in the center field and it

3083
02:03:06,340 --> 02:03:08,340
took the center fielder Sherrod

3084
02:03:08,340 --> 02:03:09,540
in a long time to get to it.

3085
02:03:11,180 --> 02:03:12,180
Well that's where Winfield's

3086
02:03:12,180 --> 02:03:14,380
home run went Bobby.

3087
02:03:15,380 --> 02:03:16,560
Well we've got it covered we

3088
02:03:16,560 --> 02:03:18,660
saved 450 460 or 470.

3089
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:19,960
So take your pick.

3090
02:03:21,260 --> 02:03:22,860
I just settled for a six dollar

3091
02:03:22,860 --> 02:03:23,460
cab ride.

3092
02:03:27,500 --> 02:03:28,660
Winfield may not have been too

3093
02:03:28,660 --> 02:03:30,060
happy being dropped down to the

3094
02:03:30,060 --> 02:03:31,100
number five spot on the

3095
02:03:31,100 --> 02:03:31,600
batting order.

3096
02:03:31,640 --> 02:03:32,840
Took it out on the baseball this

3097
02:03:32,840 --> 02:03:33,980
afternoon and the Royals

3098
02:03:33,980 --> 02:03:34,480
pitchers.

3099
02:03:35,200 --> 02:03:37,040
Steve Campbell for three runners

3100
02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:38,280
first and third two outs.

3101
02:03:38,580 --> 02:03:40,240
Mr. Armstrong spins the ball

3102
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:40,640
around.

3103
02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:41,900
Gets the right grip he wants.

3104
02:03:44,940 --> 02:03:45,740
All one to camp.

3105
02:03:54,420 --> 02:03:56,160
Camp went for four one game of

3106
02:03:56,160 --> 02:03:56,660
the series.

3107
02:03:57,020 --> 02:03:58,420
Don Hood is up for Kansas City.

3108
02:03:59,420 --> 02:04:01,620
Don Hood is now up in the Kansas

3109
02:04:01,620 --> 02:04:02,720
City Royal bullpen.

3110
02:04:08,260 --> 02:04:10,140
Nice play by the Kansas City

3111
02:04:10,140 --> 02:04:10,760
Royal bullpen.

3112
02:04:10,760 --> 02:04:12,740
Nice play by the catcher slot.

3113
02:04:13,440 --> 02:04:15,040
And the Yankees seem to have

3114
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:16,400
some action out in their bullpen

3115
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:17,800
it looked like George Frazier a

3116
02:04:17,800 --> 02:04:19,580
right hander and Bob Shirley the

3117
02:04:19,580 --> 02:04:20,280
left hander.

3118
02:04:21,180 --> 02:04:22,320
We'll take a look at this.

3119
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:25,820
Pitch down in the dirt and a

3120
02:04:25,820 --> 02:04:27,880
nice play by the catcher slot.

3121
02:04:28,220 --> 02:04:29,160
There's Bob Shirley.

3122
02:04:29,460 --> 02:04:30,860
Excuse me that's Jay Howell the

3123
02:04:30,860 --> 02:04:31,660
right hander warming up.

3124
02:04:36,700 --> 02:04:38,460
Two ball no strikeout on camp he

3125
02:04:38,460 --> 02:04:40,260
has a great play by the Yankees

3126
02:04:40,260 --> 02:04:40,800
on the right.

3127
02:04:41,640 --> 02:04:43,040
Ball for four night for Steve.

3128
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:47,500
Hopped it up on the left side

3129
02:04:47,500 --> 02:04:51,840
and third baseman Brett hardly

3130
02:04:51,840 --> 02:04:53,680
had to take a step that will

3131
02:04:53,680 --> 02:04:55,220
retire the side the Yankees get

3132
02:04:55,220 --> 02:04:56,780
no runs have one hit they leave

3133
02:04:56,780 --> 02:04:58,520
two on and at the end of eight

3134
02:04:58,680 --> 02:05:00,220
it's the Yankees for the Royals

3135
02:05:00,220 --> 02:05:00,580
three.

3136
02:05:05,420 --> 02:05:06,620
All right Frank we've got some

3137
02:05:06,620 --> 02:05:08,020
changes in the Yankee outfield

3138
02:05:08,020 --> 02:05:09,020
and the Yankees are in the

3139
02:05:09,020 --> 02:05:09,820
middle of the field.

3140
02:05:11,260 --> 02:05:12,900
Jerry Muffrey now goes in to

3141
02:05:12,900 --> 02:05:14,400
play centerfield for the Yankees

3142
02:05:14,460 --> 02:05:17,860
and Dave Winfield moves from

3143
02:05:17,860 --> 02:05:19,440
centerfield back in his old

3144
02:05:19,440 --> 02:05:20,440
position left field.

3145
02:05:21,140 --> 02:05:22,440
So he'll pick up the brown spot

3146
02:05:22,440 --> 02:05:22,940
out there now.

3147
02:05:23,440 --> 02:05:25,080
He knows exactly where it is and

3148
02:05:25,080 --> 02:05:26,340
as I look at him he's playing

3149
02:05:26,340 --> 02:05:26,880
right on it.

3150
02:05:26,940 --> 02:05:27,540
Yes he is.

3151
02:05:28,740 --> 02:05:32,380
Don slot leads up and evidently

3152
02:05:32,380 --> 02:05:34,080
took the bat away no strike call

3153
02:05:34,080 --> 02:05:39,060
and he's got a good shot I

3154
02:05:39,060 --> 02:05:40,460
remember when Frank Howard played

3155
02:05:40,460 --> 02:05:42,120
left field for the Washington

3156
02:05:42,120 --> 02:05:43,700
Senators he would move back and

3157
02:05:43,700 --> 02:05:45,000
forth and have a patch of grass

3158
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:46,200
just worn completely out.

3159
02:05:46,220 --> 02:05:47,600
He never stood still a second

3160
02:05:48,400 --> 02:05:50,100
the most nervous man I ever saw

3161
02:05:50,840 --> 02:05:53,440
in the outfield two balls and no

3162
02:05:53,440 --> 02:05:54,040
strikes.

3163
02:05:54,540 --> 02:05:55,700
Well he was a big enough guy to

3164
02:05:55,700 --> 02:05:57,540
wear a patch out or a big wear a

3165
02:05:57,540 --> 02:06:00,540
hole in the one he comes spring

3166
02:06:00,540 --> 02:06:02,140
training put weights on his

3167
02:06:02,140 --> 02:06:04,140
back and forth with all spring

3168
02:06:04,140 --> 02:06:07,320
training put about a three five

3169
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:09,280
pound weight on each who grounds

3170
02:06:09,280 --> 02:06:11,860
it right at Smalley Roy waits on

3171
02:06:11,860 --> 02:06:13,220
it knows he has plenty of time

3172
02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:17,320
and throws him out one away the

3173
02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:18,820
Yankees are leading by a score

3174
02:06:18,820 --> 02:06:20,200
of four to three one away here

3175
02:06:20,200 --> 02:06:21,660
in the top of the night unless

3176
02:06:21,660 --> 02:06:25,300
the Frank Howard way 300 right

3177
02:06:25,300 --> 02:06:27,000
around 300 I think she listened

3178
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:27,900
his plane weight somewhere

3179
02:06:27,900 --> 02:06:29,340
around 270 280.

3180
02:06:29,600 --> 02:06:31,700
Goodness he didn't need any leg

3181
02:06:31,700 --> 02:06:32,340
training.

3182
02:06:32,480 --> 02:06:34,540
He would do that to take off

3183
02:06:34,540 --> 02:06:35,440
weight really in spring

3184
02:06:35,440 --> 02:06:36,580
training as the story was

3185
02:06:36,580 --> 02:06:37,120
circulated.

3186
02:06:37,780 --> 02:06:39,480
Two guys seem to come off will

3187
02:06:39,480 --> 02:06:40,440
have a good spring training

3188
02:06:40,440 --> 02:06:41,920
with Frank Howard and Morgue

3189
02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:42,260
Powell.

3190
02:06:42,480 --> 02:06:42,660
Yeah.

3191
02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:44,360
Paul come came in one year at

3192
02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:51,600
300 pounds that sure it is the

3193
02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:53,060
first man Murray faced when he

3194
02:06:53,060 --> 02:06:54,840
relieved Shane Raleigh in the

3195
02:06:54,840 --> 02:06:55,860
sixth inning and he struck

3196
02:06:55,860 --> 02:07:02,440
out on three pitches ball and a

3197
02:07:02,440 --> 02:07:02,800
strike.

3198
02:07:03,380 --> 02:07:04,780
Del Murray's got good location

3199
02:07:04,780 --> 02:07:05,380
on his ball.

3200
02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:06,620
Now he threw him a good fork

3201
02:07:06,620 --> 02:07:07,880
ball on the outside part of the

3202
02:07:07,880 --> 02:07:09,080
plate and he tried to bust the

3203
02:07:09,080 --> 02:07:10,020
fastball in on him.

3204
02:07:12,220 --> 02:07:13,160
He looks comfortable on the

3205
02:07:13,160 --> 02:07:18,360
mound that's in the upper deck

3206
02:07:18,360 --> 02:07:21,460
out of play ball and two strikes

3207
02:07:21,500 --> 02:07:22,720
I never did like to face Del

3208
02:07:22,720 --> 02:07:23,020
Murray.

3209
02:07:24,360 --> 02:07:25,260
I didn't like it.

3210
02:07:25,260 --> 02:07:26,400
I didn't like that for ball and

3211
02:07:26,400 --> 02:07:28,060
he had I didn't like that hard

3212
02:07:28,060 --> 02:07:28,900
sinker that he threw.

3213
02:07:29,540 --> 02:07:30,640
What was what pitch was it you

3214
02:07:30,640 --> 02:07:31,740
hit for the home run that broke

3215
02:07:31,740 --> 02:07:32,900
his consecutive fastball

3216
02:07:32,940 --> 02:07:33,480
fastball.

3217
02:07:33,540 --> 02:07:40,980
Yeah that evens account to and

3218
02:07:40,980 --> 02:07:57,360
two three and two two hundred

3219
02:07:57,360 --> 02:07:58,860
and forty seven and a third

3220
02:07:58,860 --> 02:08:00,200
innings without allowing a home

3221
02:08:00,200 --> 02:08:01,660
run until he threw a fastball

3222
02:08:01,660 --> 02:08:02,040
game.

3223
02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:11,080
That's a lot of innings pitched

3224
02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:11,760
madly.

3225
02:08:11,780 --> 02:08:13,460
How about that play.

3226
02:08:15,520 --> 02:08:16,700
I never thought he'd get that

3227
02:08:16,700 --> 02:08:17,000
one.

3228
02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:19,500
Well look at the high fives on

3229
02:08:19,500 --> 02:08:20,560
the stands over that one.

3230
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:22,260
Well this is a line drive right

3231
02:08:22,260 --> 02:08:24,900
at Mattingly and he times this

3232
02:08:24,900 --> 02:08:27,700
ball perfectly and makes a

3233
02:08:27,700 --> 02:08:30,740
tremendous leap in the air and

3234
02:08:30,740 --> 02:08:34,040
saves a double for the Yankees

3235
02:08:34,080 --> 02:08:35,740
race play by Don Mattingly.

3236
02:08:36,240 --> 02:08:37,520
He's a good defensive first

3237
02:08:37,520 --> 02:08:37,940
baseman.

3238
02:08:39,520 --> 02:08:40,680
He came to play it any.

3239
02:08:42,820 --> 02:08:43,120
All right.

3240
02:08:43,120 --> 02:08:44,160
There are two down.

3241
02:08:45,380 --> 02:08:46,620
Oh what a play by Mattingly.

3242
02:08:46,720 --> 02:08:48,100
I don't think Mattingly likes

3243
02:08:48,300 --> 02:08:49,800
Columbus said well he probably

3244
02:08:49,800 --> 02:08:51,160
likes the town but he knows that

3245
02:08:51,160 --> 02:08:52,300
there's only one place to play

3246
02:08:52,300 --> 02:08:53,200
and that's in the big leagues.

3247
02:08:53,360 --> 02:08:53,760
That's right.

3248
02:08:54,800 --> 02:08:56,440
Well he's got that 100 percent

3249
02:08:56,440 --> 02:08:56,700
right.

3250
02:08:56,700 --> 02:08:58,400
He's got that 100 percent right.

3251
02:09:02,360 --> 02:09:04,000
You are Washington tries to

3252
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:05,460
put himself on and fouls it up.

3253
02:09:07,300 --> 02:09:10,080
UL is 0 for 4 and 1 for 17 in

3254
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:10,700
the series.

3255
02:09:14,280 --> 02:09:16,140
You know George Brett was 0 for

3256
02:09:16,140 --> 02:09:18,040
10 before he got his single up

3257
02:09:18,040 --> 02:09:18,940
back in the first inning.

3258
02:09:18,980 --> 02:09:19,240
Yeah.

3259
02:09:19,920 --> 02:09:21,520
0 for 10 is like a major slump to

3260
02:09:21,520 --> 02:09:22,620
a guy like George Brett.

3261
02:09:22,660 --> 02:09:23,080
That's right.

3262
02:09:23,080 --> 02:09:24,780
He's got that one count back a

3263
02:09:24,780 --> 02:09:25,880
little bit in the right field.

3264
02:09:27,340 --> 02:09:28,140
So it appeared.

3265
02:09:28,720 --> 02:09:30,040
Kim took a couple of the thing

3266
02:09:30,040 --> 02:09:31,520
you want to do here Frank is not

3267
02:09:32,020 --> 02:09:33,320
let anybody was take a look at

3268
02:09:33,320 --> 02:09:35,480
Billy Martin there and we don't

3269
02:09:35,480 --> 02:09:36,760
want to give anybody an extra

3270
02:09:36,760 --> 02:09:38,360
base hit if they can afford not

3271
02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:38,620
to.

3272
02:09:39,860 --> 02:09:41,460
So they'll try to play a little

3273
02:09:41,460 --> 02:09:42,900
deeper now the outfielders were

3274
02:09:42,900 --> 02:09:44,400
then they then they would early

3275
02:09:44,400 --> 02:09:45,400
in the ballgame because they

3276
02:09:45,400 --> 02:09:46,400
want to keep the ball in front

3277
02:09:46,400 --> 02:09:46,700
of them.

3278
02:09:48,640 --> 02:09:50,040
Now Billy wants to have to go

3279
02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:51,640
more towards center and move to

3280
02:09:51,640 --> 02:09:52,000
his right.

3281
02:09:52,000 --> 02:09:53,560
He's not going to get a ball.

3282
02:09:53,860 --> 02:09:54,240
Yep.

3283
02:09:55,760 --> 02:09:57,160
Sightling to his right.

3284
02:09:59,200 --> 02:10:00,800
No ball to strikeout on

3285
02:10:00,800 --> 02:10:01,440
Washington.

3286
02:10:01,580 --> 02:10:03,040
Two outs the Yankees lead for

3287
02:10:03,040 --> 02:10:03,480
three.

3288
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:06,680
Listen to the fans in the

3289
02:10:06,680 --> 02:10:07,120
background.

3290
02:10:09,120 --> 02:10:09,820
And look at them.

3291
02:10:10,140 --> 02:10:11,580
They want this strikeout Frank

3292
02:10:11,820 --> 02:10:13,460
and I know Del Murray wants to

3293
02:10:13,460 --> 02:10:13,680
do.

3294
02:10:15,420 --> 02:10:17,180
Ground ball and Smalley cannot

3295
02:10:17,180 --> 02:10:18,900
get a base hit for Washington.

3296
02:10:18,900 --> 02:10:20,860
What a big base hit by U.L.

3297
02:10:20,860 --> 02:10:21,460
Washington.

3298
02:10:21,700 --> 02:10:23,660
The reason for that is is because

3299
02:10:23,660 --> 02:10:25,840
it brings up George Brett.

3300
02:10:30,900 --> 02:10:32,480
Billy Martin is on his way out

3301
02:10:32,480 --> 02:10:33,140
to the mound.

3302
02:10:38,320 --> 02:10:39,220
And we take a look at goose

3303
02:10:39,220 --> 02:10:41,120
Gossett who is now up in the

3304
02:10:41,120 --> 02:10:41,980
Yankee bullpen.

3305
02:10:43,920 --> 02:10:46,260
Looks like Billy has signaled to

3306
02:10:46,260 --> 02:10:50,760
the bullpen and I assume that it

3307
02:10:50,760 --> 02:10:51,420
will be this guy.

3308
02:10:51,660 --> 02:10:52,560
He will be coming in this

3309
02:10:52,560 --> 02:10:52,960
ballgame.

3310
02:10:54,200 --> 02:10:55,660
That's who he wants and it will

3311
02:10:55,660 --> 02:10:56,260
be gossip.

3312
02:10:56,940 --> 02:10:58,300
No Dale Murray will leave and

3313
02:10:58,300 --> 02:10:59,400
Gossett will come in.

3314
02:11:01,140 --> 02:11:02,540
Murray who relieved in the sixth

3315
02:11:02,540 --> 02:11:04,940
inning has just given up only

3316
02:11:04,940 --> 02:11:09,180
his second hit for that ball by

3317
02:11:09,180 --> 02:11:10,380
Sheridan was hit hard.

3318
02:11:10,420 --> 02:11:11,740
The one that magically made the

3319
02:11:11,740 --> 02:11:14,220
great play out and Billy may feel

3320
02:11:14,220 --> 02:11:15,980
that Murray has run out of gas

3321
02:11:15,980 --> 02:11:16,220
here.

3322
02:11:16,220 --> 02:11:16,780
I don't know.

3323
02:11:17,180 --> 02:11:18,480
Anyway he wants Gossage to

3324
02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:20,020
pitch to Brett with a tie run at

3325
02:11:20,020 --> 02:11:21,460
first base and two outs.

3326
02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:24,160
This is going to be a challenge

3327
02:11:25,400 --> 02:11:26,560
Gossage and Brett.

3328
02:11:26,700 --> 02:11:27,660
They've had it before.

3329
02:11:27,800 --> 02:11:28,160
Yep.

3330
02:11:28,200 --> 02:11:29,800
And Gossage has won some and

3331
02:11:29,800 --> 02:11:30,660
Brett has won some.

3332
02:11:30,700 --> 02:11:31,960
It's probably even up.

3333
02:11:33,340 --> 02:11:34,740
Well while we wait for the goose

3334
02:11:34,740 --> 02:11:38,740
to come in I'll remind you that

3335
02:11:38,740 --> 02:11:40,240
the Yankees will host the

3336
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:41,840
Detroit Tigers for a big three

3337
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:43,740
game weekend series August 5th

3338
02:11:43,740 --> 02:11:45,820
through 7 highlighted by Skoll

3339
02:11:45,820 --> 02:11:47,820
Bandit Yankee tote bag night

3340
02:11:47,980 --> 02:11:49,680
and Bobby Mercer day here at

3341
02:11:49,680 --> 02:11:50,480
Yankee Stadium.

3342
02:11:50,980 --> 02:11:52,580
All fans attending the game on

3343
02:11:52,580 --> 02:11:54,520
Saturday night August 6 will

3344
02:11:54,520 --> 02:11:56,160
receive a Yankee tote bag

3345
02:11:56,220 --> 02:11:58,620
compliments of Skoll Bandit and

3346
02:11:58,620 --> 02:12:00,320
on Sunday afternoon August 7th

3347
02:12:00,600 --> 02:12:02,000
one of the most beloved Yankees

3348
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:04,340
of all time Bobby Mercer will be

3349
02:12:04,340 --> 02:12:05,760
honored here at Yankee Stadium

3350
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:07,940
but it will be Bobby Mercer day

3351
02:12:08,340 --> 02:12:10,340
so don't miss these two special

3352
02:12:10,340 --> 02:12:13,440
days something that I'm glad to

3353
02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:16,740
see Frank the fans gave Dale

3354
02:12:16,740 --> 02:12:20,140
Murray a big hand here he's

3355
02:12:20,140 --> 02:12:21,480
pitched well for the Yankees the

3356
02:12:21,480 --> 02:12:22,680
last four or five outings that

3357
02:12:22,680 --> 02:12:25,460
he's had and as everybody know

3358
02:12:25,460 --> 02:12:27,180
that he struggled throughout the

3359
02:12:27,380 --> 02:12:30,400
first part of the season and the

3360
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:32,700
fans coming to their feet let

3361
02:12:32,700 --> 02:12:34,800
Dale Murray know that they

3362
02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:36,400
appreciate the job that he's

3363
02:12:36,400 --> 02:12:36,760
done.

3364
02:12:37,200 --> 02:12:38,200
You know Bobby Mercer as a

3365
02:12:38,200 --> 02:12:39,440
player you know it as a

3366
02:12:39,440 --> 02:12:42,000
broadcaster I know it Yankee fans

3367
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:43,740
are the most knowledgeable in

3368
02:12:43,740 --> 02:12:45,740
the world and true when when you

3369
02:12:45,740 --> 02:12:47,780
don't perform well they will get

3370
02:12:47,780 --> 02:12:50,180
down on you but they're not

3371
02:12:50,180 --> 02:12:52,120
front runners when you perform

3372
02:12:52,120 --> 02:12:53,320
well they're with you.

3373
02:12:53,680 --> 02:12:55,620
I think they can they can

3374
02:12:55,620 --> 02:12:56,720
appreciate they can appreciate

3375
02:12:56,720 --> 02:12:57,280
an injury.

3376
02:12:57,860 --> 02:12:58,960
They can appreciate a player

3377
02:12:58,960 --> 02:13:00,060
going out there when he's hurt

3378
02:13:00,080 --> 02:13:01,420
and giving every effort he has

3379
02:13:01,420 --> 02:13:01,920
got any.

3380
02:13:02,960 --> 02:13:05,020
And I think it's the fans here

3381
02:13:05,020 --> 02:13:06,700
in New York City are just really

3382
02:13:06,960 --> 02:13:08,160
great great fans.

3383
02:13:08,900 --> 02:13:10,440
They're the greatest fans and

3384
02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:12,140
they're the best fans in the

3385
02:13:12,140 --> 02:13:12,440
world.

3386
02:13:12,840 --> 02:13:13,840
They're the best fans in the

3387
02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:14,100
world.

3388
02:13:14,440 --> 02:13:15,340
They're the best fans in the

3389
02:13:15,340 --> 02:13:17,100
baseball and all the sports

3390
02:13:17,100 --> 02:13:21,640
probably like you said they're

3391
02:13:21,640 --> 02:13:23,240
very knowledgeable and probably

3392
02:13:23,240 --> 02:13:24,480
the most knowledgeable sports

3393
02:13:24,480 --> 02:13:25,640
fans around anywhere in the

3394
02:13:25,640 --> 02:13:26,020
country.

3395
02:13:27,220 --> 02:13:28,320
When you do bad they let you

3396
02:13:28,320 --> 02:13:29,380
know when you do good they

3397
02:13:29,380 --> 02:13:30,420
certainly like you know too.

3398
02:13:30,480 --> 02:13:30,980
That's right.

3399
02:13:31,480 --> 02:13:31,980
They do.

3400
02:13:33,560 --> 02:13:34,920
And for the most part they are

3401
02:13:34,920 --> 02:13:35,720
very very fair.

3402
02:13:36,420 --> 02:13:36,720
All right.

3403
02:13:36,860 --> 02:13:38,200
Here's the challenge Brett with

3404
02:13:38,200 --> 02:13:40,000
the bat and got hit with the

3405
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:40,400
bat.

3406
02:13:41,700 --> 02:13:43,360
The tag run is at first base and

3407
02:13:43,360 --> 02:13:43,840
two up.

3408
02:13:46,840 --> 02:13:49,240
Deep left field but slicing

3409
02:13:49,740 --> 02:13:50,680
foul.

3410
02:13:54,240 --> 02:13:57,320
And both got to John I can give

3411
02:13:57,320 --> 02:13:58,120
us I have relief.

3412
02:14:05,560 --> 02:14:07,160
U.L. Washington back to first

3413
02:14:07,160 --> 02:14:07,520
base.

3414
02:14:07,520 --> 02:14:09,260
The Yankees with a one run lead

3415
02:14:23,260 --> 02:14:25,040
and now the Royals have the one

3416
02:14:25,040 --> 02:14:38,720
run lead George Brad has just

3417
02:14:38,720 --> 02:14:40,420
home heard and Billy Martin and

3418
02:14:40,420 --> 02:14:41,520
the Yankees want the bat.

3419
02:14:42,160 --> 02:14:42,720
Look at Martin.

3420
02:14:42,760 --> 02:14:43,860
Well what they're talking about

3421
02:14:43,860 --> 02:14:45,600
Frank is that he's got too much

3422
02:14:45,600 --> 02:14:48,900
pine tar and you've got to have

3423
02:14:48,900 --> 02:14:49,960
a certain amount of distance

3424
02:14:49,960 --> 02:14:51,340
from the trademark of the bat

3425
02:14:51,340 --> 02:14:53,000
and the pine tar and that'll

3426
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:54,500
leave in the field as if the game

3427
02:14:54,500 --> 02:14:55,240
is over.

3428
02:14:55,800 --> 02:14:57,000
Now he's just coming in.

3429
02:14:57,300 --> 02:14:58,240
I'm not sure.

3430
02:14:58,440 --> 02:14:59,780
They might have a legitimate

3431
02:15:00,440 --> 02:15:03,340
bribe and the umpires are going

3432
02:15:03,340 --> 02:15:03,980
to get together.

3433
02:15:04,020 --> 02:15:05,320
George Brett looking around and

3434
02:15:05,320 --> 02:15:06,720
want to know what's going on and

3435
02:15:06,720 --> 02:15:07,620
the umpires are going to get

3436
02:15:07,620 --> 02:15:08,680
together and talk about this

3437
02:15:08,680 --> 02:15:08,980
thing.

3438
02:15:11,620 --> 02:15:12,920
Well Billy Martin bounce right

3439
02:15:12,920 --> 02:15:14,060
out of the done I've seen a call

3440
02:15:14,060 --> 02:15:14,820
before Frank.

3441
02:15:16,100 --> 02:15:17,420
You are not allowed to have a

3442
02:15:17,420 --> 02:15:20,500
substance of any of any kind

3443
02:15:20,520 --> 02:15:21,700
above the trademark.

3444
02:15:21,760 --> 02:15:23,300
And I can't tell from here

3445
02:15:23,300 --> 02:15:24,560
because everybody's huddled

3446
02:15:24,560 --> 02:15:25,240
around the bat.

3447
02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:27,700
I cannot tell from here if it's

3448
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:28,800
up too far.

3449
02:15:28,840 --> 02:15:29,640
And now they're both they're

3450
02:15:29,640 --> 02:15:30,800
out there feeling it seems as

3451
02:15:30,800 --> 02:15:31,980
if there's some sticky stuff

3452
02:15:31,980 --> 02:15:32,500
around there.

3453
02:15:33,480 --> 02:15:34,580
That's Nick Bremigan with the

3454
02:15:34,580 --> 02:15:35,540
best is going to be an

3455
02:15:35,540 --> 02:15:36,540
interesting call.

3456
02:15:41,380 --> 02:15:42,580
Well Brett isn't sure whether he

3457
02:15:42,580 --> 02:15:43,760
has a home run yet or not.

3458
02:15:46,980 --> 02:15:47,960
Now the umpires are going to

3459
02:15:47,960 --> 02:15:49,620
walk away and talk about this

3460
02:15:49,620 --> 02:15:51,400
and go over the rules and

3461
02:15:51,400 --> 02:15:53,040
examine the bat.

3462
02:15:53,600 --> 02:15:54,800
See where the pine cars in the

3463
02:15:54,800 --> 02:15:56,600
label the trademark is.

3464
02:15:57,000 --> 02:15:58,280
See the brown substance there.

3465
02:15:58,540 --> 02:16:00,280
It does look like it's a pine

3466
02:16:00,280 --> 02:16:00,580
tar.

3467
02:16:01,280 --> 02:16:02,240
It looks like it is.

3468
02:16:03,080 --> 02:16:05,320
Now you are not allowed to have

3469
02:16:05,840 --> 02:16:07,880
that pine tar up that far on the

3470
02:16:07,880 --> 02:16:08,120
bat.

3471
02:16:09,560 --> 02:16:10,960
Billy Martin walking around

3472
02:16:11,480 --> 02:16:14,620
waiting for the which might be

3473
02:16:14,620 --> 02:16:15,720
an important decision.

3474
02:16:17,320 --> 02:16:18,820
First time in a long long time

3475
02:16:18,820 --> 02:16:20,160
I've seen the umpires huddle

3476
02:16:20,160 --> 02:16:21,600
this long and have a meeting

3477
02:16:21,600 --> 02:16:21,860
over.

3478
02:16:22,500 --> 02:16:23,360
Well they're going to see what's

3479
02:16:23,360 --> 02:16:23,860
going to happen.

3480
02:16:23,900 --> 02:16:24,300
They're going to.

3481
02:16:28,640 --> 02:16:30,040
Now that is the plate umpire

3482
02:16:30,080 --> 02:16:31,380
Tim McClellan with the bat in

3483
02:16:31,380 --> 02:16:31,800
his hand.

3484
02:16:37,240 --> 02:16:38,140
Now they're going to measure it

3485
02:16:38,140 --> 02:16:39,040
across home plate.

3486
02:16:40,240 --> 02:16:42,660
I've never I've never seen this.

3487
02:16:42,720 --> 02:16:43,480
I never have either.

3488
02:16:44,120 --> 02:16:45,120
I don't know what I don't know

3489
02:16:45,120 --> 02:16:45,860
what they're measuring.

3490
02:16:45,860 --> 02:16:46,660
Right away.

3491
02:16:48,260 --> 02:16:49,560
They might be going to call

3492
02:16:51,460 --> 02:16:54,640
look at this but is out and

3493
02:16:54,660 --> 02:16:55,760
teammate man is out.

3494
02:16:57,400 --> 02:16:57,900
And having to be.

3495
02:16:59,160 --> 02:16:59,460
Forcibly.

3496
02:16:59,840 --> 02:17:01,540
Restrained from hitting.

3497
02:17:01,700 --> 02:17:02,940
Light on buyer Temma.

3498
02:17:03,040 --> 02:17:03,480
wheels.

3499
02:17:07,300 --> 02:17:09,220
Four to three that is called out

3500
02:17:09,220 --> 02:17:10,780
for using the illegal bat.

3501
02:17:12,880 --> 02:17:13,980
Redfield now batting.

3502
02:17:13,980 --> 02:17:15,980
the illegal substance on the

3503
02:17:15,980 --> 02:17:16,240
bat.

3504
02:17:16,980 --> 02:17:18,280
Like I said I have seen this

3505
02:17:18,280 --> 02:17:21,180
before Frank and Gaylord Perry

3506
02:17:21,180 --> 02:17:22,880
just took the bat away from the

3507
02:17:22,880 --> 02:17:24,620
whole point of our Jim McLaughlin

3508
02:17:24,620 --> 02:17:26,220
he's going to take the bat

3509
02:17:26,220 --> 02:17:27,520
they're going to take it so they

3510
02:17:27,520 --> 02:17:28,720
cannot take it into the

3511
02:17:28,720 --> 02:17:31,000
American League office or

3512
02:17:31,000 --> 02:17:32,560
wherever they take it to big

3513
02:17:32,560 --> 02:17:32,960
salmon.

3514
02:17:34,460 --> 02:17:36,760
Well the Yankee security person

3515
02:17:36,760 --> 02:17:38,840
and one of the umpires quickly

3516
02:17:38,840 --> 02:17:41,800
are chasing whoever has the bat

3517
02:17:41,800 --> 02:17:42,100
hostages.

3518
02:17:42,100 --> 02:17:43,840
Who ever has the bat Jose

3519
02:17:43,840 --> 02:17:45,480
Martinez is holding Brett Bobby

3520
02:17:45,480 --> 02:17:46,880
I've never seen this in my life.

3521
02:17:47,640 --> 02:17:49,480
Well I've seen players called

3522
02:17:49,480 --> 02:17:51,780
out for using an illegal bat

3523
02:17:52,780 --> 02:17:55,880
but never never saw an important

3524
02:17:55,880 --> 02:17:57,520
hit by a home run and have been

3525
02:17:57,520 --> 02:17:58,920
called out to put the Royals

3526
02:17:58,920 --> 02:17:59,320
ahead.

3527
02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:06,700
George Brett was fighting man

3528
02:18:06,700 --> 02:18:09,460
and whether he has a cause to be

3529
02:18:09,460 --> 02:18:12,400
mad or not I don't have any idea

3530
02:18:12,400 --> 02:18:14,100
the umpires made a decision.

3531
02:18:15,100 --> 02:18:17,680
Bobby let me say this to you the

3532
02:18:17,680 --> 02:18:20,380
fact that they tried to take the

3533
02:18:20,380 --> 02:18:23,120
bat away and secrete the bat

3534
02:18:24,520 --> 02:18:26,280
lends credence to the umpires

3535
02:18:26,280 --> 02:18:28,460
call in my estimation it could

3536
02:18:28,460 --> 02:18:29,820
be because what will happen

3537
02:18:29,820 --> 02:18:31,460
Frank is that the umpires will

3538
02:18:31,460 --> 02:18:33,860
take that bat and examine it and

3539
02:18:33,860 --> 02:18:35,220
we still see Dick Houser and

3540
02:18:35,220 --> 02:18:39,560
George Brett they're still

3541
02:18:39,560 --> 02:18:41,000
arguing the call now with Rocky

3542
02:18:41,000 --> 02:18:42,500
Colivino has moved in there.

3543
02:18:45,340 --> 02:18:47,700
If I have to feel the fact that

3544
02:18:47,700 --> 02:18:49,500
they would not allow the bat to

3545
02:18:49,500 --> 02:18:52,180
be played by the umpires would

3546
02:18:52,180 --> 02:18:54,840
certainly lend credence to the

3547
02:18:54,840 --> 02:18:56,340
decision to call Brett out.

3548
02:18:56,720 --> 02:18:57,880
I would have to agree with you

3549
02:18:57,880 --> 02:18:59,980
Frank because they took a long

3550
02:18:59,980 --> 02:19:01,560
time to make this decision.

3551
02:19:01,860 --> 02:19:03,260
They talked it over two or three

3552
02:19:03,260 --> 02:19:05,300
times we take a look at home

3553
02:19:05,300 --> 02:19:08,300
plate umpire Jim McLeod who made

3554
02:19:08,300 --> 02:19:12,600
the call and he might be waiting

3555
02:19:12,600 --> 02:19:13,800
there for that bat to be

3556
02:19:13,800 --> 02:19:14,460
retrieved.

3557
02:19:15,060 --> 02:19:16,640
I'm sure with a controversial

3558
02:19:16,640 --> 02:19:18,100
call like this and they will try

3559
02:19:18,100 --> 02:19:20,740
to take this bat and have the

3560
02:19:20,740 --> 02:19:22,080
American League office or

3561
02:19:22,080 --> 02:19:24,900
whoever might be concerned they

3562
02:19:24,900 --> 02:19:26,540
probably want that bad exam.

3563
02:19:30,180 --> 02:19:31,020
What a call.

3564
02:19:31,020 --> 02:19:33,300
I like you said I have never

3565
02:19:33,300 --> 02:19:35,300
seen a call made like that for

3566
02:19:35,800 --> 02:19:37,160
for it to be such an important

3567
02:19:37,160 --> 02:19:38,900
call and deciding a ballgame.

3568
02:19:39,140 --> 02:19:40,000
I never have either.

3569
02:19:40,600 --> 02:19:41,540
I have seen.

3570
02:19:41,800 --> 02:19:43,440
Well I saw Greg Nuttles lose a

3571
02:19:43,440 --> 02:19:45,540
base hit but his bat split and

3572
02:19:45,540 --> 02:19:47,020
they discovered Cork in the bat.

3573
02:19:47,820 --> 02:19:49,080
I broadcast that game.

3574
02:19:49,620 --> 02:19:51,020
I think that is the only other

3575
02:19:51,020 --> 02:19:53,180
time I have seen an illegal bat

3576
02:19:54,080 --> 02:19:55,460
discovered during the course of

3577
02:19:55,460 --> 02:19:55,660
the game.

3578
02:19:56,120 --> 02:19:57,060
I've also seen bats that have

3579
02:19:57,060 --> 02:19:59,360
nails that have been put in it to

3580
02:19:59,360 --> 02:19:59,720
hold it.

3581
02:19:59,720 --> 02:20:00,920
They can keep it from chipping

3582
02:20:01,920 --> 02:20:03,300
but for a foreign substance to

3583
02:20:03,300 --> 02:20:05,900
be on a bat which they concluded

3584
02:20:05,900 --> 02:20:07,660
I guess that the pine tar was too

3585
02:20:07,660 --> 02:20:09,440
far up on the bat and not allowed

3586
02:20:09,440 --> 02:20:11,140
to be around and that close to

3587
02:20:11,140 --> 02:20:11,700
the trademark.

3588
02:20:12,440 --> 02:20:13,540
And the fact they laid the bat

3589
02:20:13,540 --> 02:20:15,080
across on blade is just like

3590
02:20:15,080 --> 02:20:16,400
using the yardstick or a tape

3591
02:20:16,400 --> 02:20:16,680
measure.

3592
02:20:17,080 --> 02:20:18,380
They know exactly how well I

3593
02:20:18,400 --> 02:20:19,940
want what I think happened there

3594
02:20:19,940 --> 02:20:22,140
was Frank is that they were trying

3595
02:20:22,140 --> 02:20:24,020
to decide if the contact of the

3596
02:20:24,020 --> 02:20:26,420
ball made any contact with the

3597
02:20:26,420 --> 02:20:27,880
pine tar being that far up on the

3598
02:20:27,880 --> 02:20:29,880
bat.

3599
02:20:29,880 --> 02:20:30,880
In other words judging George's

3600
02:20:30,880 --> 02:20:32,420
red stance to where he would have

3601
02:20:32,420 --> 02:20:33,520
made contact with the ball.

3602
02:20:34,960 --> 02:20:36,860
So I'll be darned I have never

3603
02:20:36,860 --> 02:20:38,660
in my life seen anything like

3604
02:20:38,660 --> 02:20:38,860
this.

3605
02:20:39,860 --> 02:20:40,600
I've said it Bobby so many many

3606
02:20:40,600 --> 02:20:42,460
times you never go to a ball

3607
02:20:42,460 --> 02:20:44,040
game that you don't see something

3608
02:20:44,040 --> 02:20:45,240
you've never seen before.

3609
02:20:45,500 --> 02:20:47,300
Not as dramatic as this granted

3610
02:20:47,600 --> 02:20:49,180
but I have never seen it before.

3611
02:20:49,200 --> 02:20:50,000
We'll be back.

3612
02:20:50,140 --> 02:20:53,540
But well we for the benefit of

3613
02:20:53,540 --> 02:20:55,220
our network the final score the

3614
02:20:55,220 --> 02:20:56,640
Yankees for the Royals three

3615
02:20:56,640 --> 02:21:09,660
will be back.

3616
02:21:09,660 --> 02:21:12,220
Well I'll say it again to Bobby

3617
02:21:12,220 --> 02:21:13,660
Mercer I've never seen anything

3618
02:21:13,660 --> 02:21:14,720
like this in my life.

3619
02:21:14,900 --> 02:21:16,800
Let me make it very definite to

3620
02:21:16,800 --> 02:21:18,300
all our viewers the Yankees have

3621
02:21:18,300 --> 02:21:20,340
won the ballgame by a final

3622
02:21:20,340 --> 02:21:24,340
score of four to three as George

3623
02:21:24,340 --> 02:21:26,700
Brett hits what appeared to be

3624
02:21:26,700 --> 02:21:29,180
a leading home run that would

3625
02:21:29,180 --> 02:21:30,720
give the Royals a five to four

3626
02:21:30,720 --> 02:21:31,140
lead.

3627
02:21:31,720 --> 02:21:32,280
I've got it.

3628
02:21:32,520 --> 02:21:34,980
I've got to feel Bobby that Rick

3629
02:21:34,980 --> 02:21:36,620
Sarone may have been the first

3630
02:21:36,620 --> 02:21:38,220
one to complain about the bat.

3631
02:21:38,220 --> 02:21:39,320
Now you of course you won't do

3632
02:21:39,320 --> 02:21:40,360
it until the man gets it.

3633
02:21:40,660 --> 02:21:41,500
If Brett had made out they

3634
02:21:41,500 --> 02:21:42,100
would have said anything.

3635
02:21:42,120 --> 02:21:43,100
That's a very good point.

3636
02:21:43,120 --> 02:21:45,120
And I know that during the days

3637
02:21:45,120 --> 02:21:47,360
when I played that if we fought

3638
02:21:47,360 --> 02:21:49,040
a guy who was using an illegal

3639
02:21:49,040 --> 02:21:51,860
an illegal bat that if there was

3640
02:21:51,860 --> 02:21:54,340
a base hit that's when they would

3641
02:21:54,340 --> 02:21:55,580
have the umpire check it out if

3642
02:21:55,580 --> 02:21:56,480
they didn't get a base that they

3643
02:21:56,480 --> 02:21:57,580
wouldn't say anything about it.

3644
02:21:58,500 --> 02:21:58,740
All right.

3645
02:21:58,780 --> 02:21:59,880
Let's go back to the replay

3646
02:21:59,880 --> 02:22:00,480
quickly.

3647
02:22:00,920 --> 02:22:02,140
Don Carney is going to show it

3648
02:22:02,140 --> 02:22:02,420
again.

3649
02:22:02,440 --> 02:22:03,620
Here is Brett at the plate.

3650
02:22:05,340 --> 02:22:08,720
Now there was no doubt that when

3651
02:22:08,720 --> 02:22:10,360
George Brett hit that ball that

3652
02:22:10,360 --> 02:22:11,760
it was going to be a home run.

3653
02:22:13,880 --> 02:22:15,400
And I'm sure when the umpires

3654
02:22:15,400 --> 02:22:17,160
measured the bat across the

3655
02:22:17,160 --> 02:22:18,220
plate they were trying to

3656
02:22:18,220 --> 02:22:20,520
determine whether the ball hit

3657
02:22:20,520 --> 02:22:22,160
the part of the pine tar if the

3658
02:22:22,160 --> 02:22:24,300
pine tar had any connection with

3659
02:22:24,300 --> 02:22:25,640
the ball when it hit the bat

3660
02:22:26,740 --> 02:22:28,100
because they were judging his

3661
02:22:28,100 --> 02:22:29,640
stance the distance where he

3662
02:22:29,640 --> 02:22:30,800
would be striding into the ball

3663
02:22:30,800 --> 02:22:31,680
to make contact.

3664
02:22:32,480 --> 02:22:33,440
Well there's Brett down the

3665
02:22:33,440 --> 02:22:35,440
line steps on the plate and

3666
02:22:35,440 --> 02:22:36,840
everybody thought by now.

3667
02:22:36,880 --> 02:22:38,920
So Ron and Martin are out there

3668
02:22:39,280 --> 02:22:39,540
now.

3669
02:22:39,580 --> 02:22:40,980
So Ron is the one I'm sure of

3670
02:22:40,980 --> 02:22:43,120
that alerted the umpire to the

3671
02:22:43,120 --> 02:22:44,860
fact that he thought Brett was

3672
02:22:44,860 --> 02:22:45,960
using an illegal bat.

3673
02:22:46,720 --> 02:22:47,560
A lot of times.

3674
02:22:47,560 --> 02:22:49,780
And we can see the umpire Jim

3675
02:22:49,780 --> 02:22:51,360
McClellan the home plate umpire

3676
02:22:51,360 --> 02:22:52,860
taking the bat out and now the

3677
02:22:52,860 --> 02:22:54,760
umpires are going to go out and

3678
02:22:54,760 --> 02:22:55,860
have their first meeting.

3679
02:22:56,560 --> 02:22:58,300
And George Brett is looking on

3680
02:23:00,300 --> 02:23:00,800
right now.

3681
02:23:00,940 --> 02:23:02,200
Nobody knows what the decision

3682
02:23:02,200 --> 02:23:02,760
is going to be.

3683
02:23:02,760 --> 02:23:04,800
But I I can guarantee you there's

3684
02:23:04,800 --> 02:23:06,040
probably from the Royals going

3685
02:23:06,040 --> 02:23:08,000
to be protest upon protest about

3686
02:23:08,000 --> 02:23:08,400
this play.

3687
02:23:09,380 --> 02:23:10,780
Well I have one question.

3688
02:23:11,080 --> 02:23:12,640
We do not know the answer to is

3689
02:23:12,640 --> 02:23:14,440
whether or not the bat was

3690
02:23:14,440 --> 02:23:16,220
reclaimed by the umpire.

3691
02:23:16,220 --> 02:23:17,860
The last time I saw the bat it

3692
02:23:17,860 --> 02:23:19,820
was in the hands of one of the

3693
02:23:19,820 --> 02:23:22,160
Royals headed for we presume the

3694
02:23:22,160 --> 02:23:24,160
clubhouse with a Yankee security

3695
02:23:24,160 --> 02:23:27,060
person in hot pursuit along with

3696
02:23:27,060 --> 02:23:27,500
an umpire.

3697
02:23:27,740 --> 02:23:29,240
Well I'm not sure that it makes

3698
02:23:29,240 --> 02:23:30,540
any difference because it's a

3699
02:23:30,540 --> 02:23:32,340
it's a judgment call by the

3700
02:23:32,340 --> 02:23:34,040
umpires and it's strict.

3701
02:23:35,180 --> 02:23:37,040
The facts are that you cannot

3702
02:23:37,040 --> 02:23:38,580
use an illegal bat and have

3703
02:23:38,580 --> 02:23:40,140
forged substance on it which

3704
02:23:40,140 --> 02:23:41,340
makes it an illegal bat.

3705
02:23:41,620 --> 02:23:43,980
And they're determining trying

3706
02:23:43,980 --> 02:23:45,580
to determine whether or not the

3707
02:23:45,580 --> 02:23:47,080
umpire is going to be reclaimed

3708
02:23:47,080 --> 02:23:47,780
by the Yankees.

3709
02:23:48,020 --> 02:23:49,420
So they're meaning trying to

3710
02:23:49,420 --> 02:23:50,660
determine now whether that

3711
02:23:50,660 --> 02:23:53,520
foreign substance which I assume

3712
02:23:53,520 --> 02:23:56,200
that is pine tar is up too far

3713
02:23:56,220 --> 02:23:58,700
up on the bat towards the label.

3714
02:23:59,660 --> 02:24:01,260
Meanwhile everybody relaxed on

3715
02:24:01,260 --> 02:24:03,900
the Kansas City Royals bench but

3716
02:24:03,900 --> 02:24:05,240
they won't be relaxed for long

3717
02:24:05,240 --> 02:24:05,500
Billy.

3718
02:24:05,900 --> 02:24:07,100
Now the umpires have told Martin

3719
02:24:07,100 --> 02:24:08,600
and the Yankee players just to

3720
02:24:08,600 --> 02:24:09,840
leave them alone and let them

3721
02:24:09,840 --> 02:24:11,240
decide this themselves.

3722
02:24:11,240 --> 02:24:14,880
And side of blue in the middle

3723
02:24:14,880 --> 02:24:15,820
of the picture there with his

3724
02:24:15,820 --> 02:24:19,720
arms folded now McClellan

3725
02:24:19,720 --> 02:24:21,360
walking back toward home plate

3726
02:24:21,360 --> 02:24:22,460
with bat in hand.

3727
02:24:22,880 --> 02:24:24,320
Remington and Brinkman with him

3728
02:24:25,560 --> 02:24:26,920
we can almost tell there by

3729
02:24:26,920 --> 02:24:28,200
Billy Martin's reaction that

3730
02:24:28,200 --> 02:24:29,400
there was going to be some kind

3731
02:24:29,400 --> 02:24:30,760
of a call in favor of the

3732
02:24:30,760 --> 02:24:31,260
Yankees.

3733
02:24:33,900 --> 02:24:34,760
Now that's where they're

3734
02:24:34,760 --> 02:24:36,440
measuring the bat Frank and

3735
02:24:36,440 --> 02:24:39,040
trying to determine where George

3736
02:24:39,040 --> 02:24:40,200
Brett stance is.

3737
02:24:40,200 --> 02:24:41,260
They're trying to measure the

3738
02:24:41,260 --> 02:24:41,400
bat.

3739
02:24:41,800 --> 02:24:42,540
They're trying to measure the

3740
02:24:42,540 --> 02:24:42,700
bat.

3741
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:43,600
They're trying to measure the

3742
02:24:43,600 --> 02:24:44,800
bat though the opposite way

3743
02:24:44,800 --> 02:24:46,000
Brett the left hand hitter I

3744
02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:46,800
think they might have measured

3745
02:24:46,800 --> 02:24:46,880
it.

3746
02:24:47,400 --> 02:24:47,700
No they don't.

3747
02:24:47,940 --> 02:24:48,540
They don't measure it from

3748
02:24:48,540 --> 02:24:49,440
there to been too far out there

3749
02:24:49,440 --> 02:24:50,480
trying to determine whether

3750
02:24:50,480 --> 02:24:51,780
there is a call.

3751
02:24:51,820 --> 02:24:52,920
That was the out call and here

3752
02:24:52,920 --> 02:24:53,420
comes Brett.

3753
02:24:54,540 --> 02:24:56,220
Now the only the only thing

3754
02:24:56,220 --> 02:24:58,360
about it is and you know George

3755
02:24:58,360 --> 02:25:00,020
is not too happy and I can see

3756
02:25:00,260 --> 02:25:01,560
why he wouldn't be too happy as

3757
02:25:01,560 --> 02:25:02,760
he's restrained by the other

3758
02:25:02,760 --> 02:25:06,100
umpires that I don't know if he

3759
02:25:06,100 --> 02:25:07,400
made contact with any of the

3760
02:25:07,400 --> 02:25:08,360
other umpires there.

3761
02:25:08,400 --> 02:25:09,760
So we'll have to wait and see

3762
02:25:09,760 --> 02:25:10,400
what happens.

3763
02:25:10,640 --> 02:25:12,400
We'll tell everybody and we'll

3764
02:25:12,400 --> 02:25:13,800
be back with more on this ball

3765
02:25:13,800 --> 02:25:14,040
game.

3766
02:25:14,300 --> 02:25:15,940
The final score Yankees four

3767
02:25:15,940 --> 02:25:17,300
and Royals three.

3768
02:25:22,180 --> 02:25:24,140
Well Bobby Mercer my last words

3769
02:25:24,140 --> 02:25:26,820
on that telecast of July 24th

3770
02:25:26,820 --> 02:25:28,320
where the Yankees have won the

3771
02:25:28,320 --> 02:25:29,780
ballgame four to three whether

3772
02:25:29,780 --> 02:25:31,060
you agreed with me or not I

3773
02:25:31,060 --> 02:25:33,820
don't really remember but as you

3774
02:25:33,820 --> 02:25:34,960
know we sort of followed that

3775
02:25:34,960 --> 02:25:36,160
one up ladies and gentlemen we

3776
02:25:36,160 --> 02:25:37,100
kind of tried to straighten it

3777
02:25:37,100 --> 02:25:37,600
out tonight.

3778
02:25:37,800 --> 02:25:38,860
The Yankees did not win the

3779
02:25:38,860 --> 02:25:39,920
game.

3780
02:25:40,160 --> 02:25:41,200
They were in the lead.

3781
02:25:41,400 --> 02:25:42,800
The lead president Lee McPhail

3782
02:25:43,040 --> 02:25:44,760
ruled it was a legal home run

3783
02:25:44,760 --> 02:25:46,040
by George Brett and that's why

3784
02:25:46,040 --> 02:25:47,000
we're here at Yankee Stadium

3785
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:48,900
tonight to pick up this game in

3786
02:25:48,900 --> 02:25:49,980
the top half of the ninth

3787
02:25:49,980 --> 02:25:53,880
inning with two outs and the

3788
02:25:53,880 --> 02:25:55,840
Royals now leading five to four

3789
02:25:56,080 --> 02:25:57,640
you know it was early in the

3790
02:25:57,640 --> 02:25:58,680
day we weren't going to play

3791
02:25:58,680 --> 02:25:59,840
this ball game and then all of

3792
02:25:59,840 --> 02:26:02,780
a sudden after another ruling

3793
02:26:02,780 --> 02:26:05,760
by a higher judge I guess one

3794
02:26:05,760 --> 02:26:06,660
of them by the American League

3795
02:26:06,660 --> 02:26:09,620
and his say was the number one

3796
02:26:09,620 --> 02:26:11,160
say so here we are today to

3797
02:26:11,160 --> 02:26:12,860
finish this ballgame and we have

3798
02:26:12,860 --> 02:26:14,160
a new theme song here at Yankee

3799
02:26:14,160 --> 02:26:16,060
Stadium that he late and quickly

3800
02:26:16,060 --> 02:26:17,640
learned how to play in the Blue

3801
02:26:17,640 --> 02:26:19,660
Ridge Mountains of Virginia on

3802
02:26:19,660 --> 02:26:21,940
the trail of the Lonesome Tide.

3803
02:26:23,400 --> 02:26:24,800
Let's take a look at the Yankees

3804
02:26:24,800 --> 02:26:26,300
defensive alignment right now

3805
02:26:26,300 --> 02:26:27,880
which may furnish you a surprise

3806
02:26:27,880 --> 02:26:28,180
or two.

3807
02:26:28,440 --> 02:26:29,740
Ken Griffey is at first base.

3808
02:26:31,420 --> 02:26:33,680
Don Mattingly is at second base.

3809
02:26:34,220 --> 02:26:35,720
But Cabaneras was there Roy

3810
02:26:35,720 --> 02:26:36,980
Griffey was at shortstop.

3811
02:26:37,020 --> 02:26:38,020
He was there in the original

3812
02:26:38,020 --> 02:26:39,520
game at a third base.

3813
02:26:39,520 --> 02:26:42,200
Greg Nuttles Dave Winfield is in

3814
02:26:42,200 --> 02:26:42,820
left field.

3815
02:26:43,060 --> 02:26:44,220
Now watch this next shot.

3816
02:26:44,260 --> 02:26:47,060
Ron Goodry is in center field.

3817
02:26:47,100 --> 02:26:50,660
That's good replaying center and

3818
02:26:50,660 --> 02:26:52,140
the right fielder is Steve Kemp.

3819
02:26:54,240 --> 02:26:56,180
The catcher has to be but

3820
02:26:56,180 --> 02:26:57,280
Schweinegger because Rick's

3821
02:26:57,280 --> 02:26:58,940
around has an eye infection.

3822
02:26:59,180 --> 02:27:01,080
So Ron was in the July 24th

3823
02:27:01,080 --> 02:27:02,840
game but unable to play tonight

3824
02:27:03,280 --> 02:27:04,080
and on the mound for the

3825
02:27:04,080 --> 02:27:04,680
Yankees.

3826
02:27:04,680 --> 02:27:05,940
The Yankees have a chance to

3827
02:27:05,940 --> 02:27:08,340
play under George Frazier and

3828
02:27:08,340 --> 02:27:10,680
he'll be pitching to Hal McCrae

3829
02:27:11,340 --> 02:27:13,580
who was on deck when Brett gets

3830
02:27:13,580 --> 02:27:14,380
the two run home.

3831
02:27:15,420 --> 02:27:16,480
That's quite a lineup.

3832
02:27:16,520 --> 02:27:21,720
Frank I guess for one out I who

3833
02:27:21,720 --> 02:27:22,660
knows this might be something

3834
02:27:22,660 --> 02:27:22,920
new.

3835
02:27:23,000 --> 02:27:24,120
This might be the turnaround.

3836
02:27:24,360 --> 02:27:25,400
This is the second dive in his

3837
02:27:25,400 --> 02:27:25,800
career.

3838
02:27:25,860 --> 02:27:26,900
Ron Goodry has played center

3839
02:27:26,900 --> 02:27:28,400
field his career in the major

3840
02:27:28,400 --> 02:27:28,660
league.

3841
02:27:28,900 --> 02:27:29,700
You remember who he took out of

3842
02:27:29,700 --> 02:27:31,800
center field and a field play

3843
02:27:31,800 --> 02:27:32,600
the first base.

3844
02:27:32,600 --> 02:27:34,240
Well we must tell this a lot.

3845
02:27:34,280 --> 02:27:35,100
Here comes Martin.

3846
02:27:35,140 --> 02:27:37,300
Well we must tell this to fans

3847
02:27:37,300 --> 02:27:39,280
this that these are not the same

3848
02:27:39,680 --> 02:27:41,020
up hiring crew that was here

3849
02:27:41,020 --> 02:27:41,640
before.

3850
02:27:42,920 --> 02:27:45,620
Tonight's umpiring crew is Dave

3851
02:27:45,620 --> 02:27:47,380
Phillips George Maloney Rick

3852
02:27:47,380 --> 02:27:49,560
Reid and Tim Wilkie who were the

3853
02:27:49,560 --> 02:27:53,000
umpires of the last night's game

3854
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:54,220
and the series before they're

3855
02:27:54,220 --> 02:27:55,400
going to build a second base

3856
02:27:55,400 --> 02:27:55,620
down.

3857
02:27:56,360 --> 02:27:58,100
Smally steps on second and again

3858
02:27:58,100 --> 02:28:00,560
the guy that I got.

3859
02:28:00,760 --> 02:28:01,800
I thought I could come out and

3860
02:28:01,800 --> 02:28:04,140
say how do you know that Brett

3861
02:28:05,240 --> 02:28:06,800
touch second base because you

3862
02:28:06,800 --> 02:28:07,400
were not here.

3863
02:28:07,440 --> 02:28:07,800
That's right.

3864
02:28:07,840 --> 02:28:09,080
They cannot officially.

3865
02:28:09,100 --> 02:28:10,440
I don't think they can officially

3866
02:28:10,440 --> 02:28:11,680
give him a rolling because they

3867
02:28:11,680 --> 02:28:12,940
were not here so they didn't see

3868
02:28:12,940 --> 02:28:13,180
it.

3869
02:28:14,040 --> 02:28:15,320
Now the last umpires that were

3870
02:28:15,320 --> 02:28:17,820
here before this before the

3871
02:28:17,820 --> 02:28:19,580
original game was Tim McClellan

3872
02:28:19,580 --> 02:28:20,760
he was behind the plate who

3873
02:28:20,760 --> 02:28:22,560
cobalt Nick Brimigan and Joe

3874
02:28:22,560 --> 02:28:24,220
Brinkman and those four

3875
02:28:24,220 --> 02:28:25,500
gentlemen are not here tonight.

3876
02:28:25,520 --> 02:28:26,960
This is a new up hiring crew.

3877
02:28:27,360 --> 02:28:29,220
So Billy Martin is out there I

3878
02:28:29,220 --> 02:28:32,000
think is the only one who's

3879
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:36,540
making a protest saying look we

3880
02:28:36,540 --> 02:28:38,140
say that Brett missed the basis.

3881
02:28:38,500 --> 02:28:39,940
I have an idea that Dave

3882
02:28:39,940 --> 02:28:41,280
Phillips right there Bobby may

3883
02:28:41,280 --> 02:28:42,740
have a sworn affidavit from one

3884
02:28:42,740 --> 02:28:43,840
of the umpires of the other

3885
02:28:43,840 --> 02:28:44,100
crew.

3886
02:28:44,440 --> 02:28:45,740
Of course the umpires and the

3887
02:28:45,740 --> 02:28:47,040
league office if we knew this

3888
02:28:47,040 --> 02:28:48,220
was going to happen I'm sure

3889
02:28:48,220 --> 02:28:49,140
they knew it was going to

3890
02:28:49,140 --> 02:28:49,380
happen.

3891
02:28:50,620 --> 02:28:52,080
So we add just a little more

3892
02:28:52,080 --> 02:28:55,060
drama to the infamous Pines are

3893
02:28:55,060 --> 02:28:55,380
game.

3894
02:28:56,420 --> 02:28:57,420
We might not be through yet.

3895
02:28:57,420 --> 02:28:58,520
But we're going to be through

3896
02:28:58,520 --> 02:28:59,100
this game.

3897
02:29:01,100 --> 02:29:02,700
Well a handful of people here at

3898
02:29:02,700 --> 02:29:03,860
Yankee Stadium of course the

3899
02:29:03,860 --> 02:29:05,860
judge did not rule until about

3900
02:29:05,860 --> 02:29:07,240
quarter of four this afternoon

3901
02:29:07,640 --> 02:29:09,000
the final ruling that the game

3902
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:09,600
would be played.

3903
02:29:09,840 --> 02:29:11,080
Well I would assume that's

3904
02:29:11,080 --> 02:29:12,780
going to be played under protest

3905
02:29:12,780 --> 02:29:14,180
and just got the sign there it

3906
02:29:14,180 --> 02:29:16,380
is the P sign from the plate

3907
02:29:16,380 --> 02:29:17,980
umpire in this case George

3908
02:29:17,980 --> 02:29:19,540
Monali that Billy Martin has

3909
02:29:19,540 --> 02:29:22,280
protested this ballgame on

3910
02:29:22,280 --> 02:29:23,880
Valley that was not a sworn

3911
02:29:23,880 --> 02:29:27,620
affidavit from one of the other

3912
02:29:27,620 --> 02:29:27,860
umpires.

3913
02:29:31,620 --> 02:29:33,660
Well I don't think any of us are

3914
02:29:33,660 --> 02:29:35,300
surprised that Billy did that or

3915
02:29:35,300 --> 02:29:37,940
the other guy that now he would

3916
02:29:37,940 --> 02:29:39,560
have a right to do that because

3917
02:29:40,340 --> 02:29:41,700
this is a different umpiring

3918
02:29:41,700 --> 02:29:44,100
crew and there's the crowd here

3919
02:29:44,100 --> 02:29:47,640
tonight all 34 of them and Billy

3920
02:29:47,640 --> 02:29:49,640
Martin just returned back to the

3921
02:29:49,640 --> 02:29:51,440
dugout after making that protest

3922
02:29:51,440 --> 02:29:53,140
and we will get this first pitch

3923
02:29:53,140 --> 02:29:53,680
underway.

3924
02:29:55,020 --> 02:29:55,920
What do you guess we'll get this

3925
02:29:55,920 --> 02:29:56,480
game finished.

3926
02:29:57,680 --> 02:29:59,580
Finally out of the books.

3927
02:30:00,080 --> 02:30:00,960
Tell everybody they had the

3928
02:30:00,960 --> 02:30:02,660
tarp on right about 10 minutes

3929
02:30:02,660 --> 02:30:03,920
before this game started there

3930
02:30:03,920 --> 02:30:04,920
was a thunder shower in the

3931
02:30:04,920 --> 02:30:05,200
area.

3932
02:30:06,760 --> 02:30:08,400
And a strike is called on Hal

3933
02:30:08,400 --> 02:30:09,900
McCrae as we do start playing

3934
02:30:10,200 --> 02:30:11,600
the first pitch of this game was

3935
02:30:11,600 --> 02:30:13,500
thrown at six minutes past two

3936
02:30:13,500 --> 02:30:15,900
o'clock on Sunday July 24.

3937
02:30:15,900 --> 02:30:17,500
And the game is called on the

3938
02:30:17,500 --> 02:30:17,740
books.

3939
02:30:23,840 --> 02:30:25,140
Go down in the books as long as

3940
02:30:25,140 --> 02:30:25,840
game in history.

3941
02:30:26,880 --> 02:30:27,540
No not really.

3942
02:30:27,580 --> 02:30:28,920
There have been suspended games

3943
02:30:28,920 --> 02:30:30,880
picked up after a greater length

3944
02:30:30,880 --> 02:30:31,280
of time.

3945
02:30:32,880 --> 02:30:34,280
I say I've never seen anything

3946
02:30:34,280 --> 02:30:34,620
like it.

3947
02:30:34,880 --> 02:30:35,760
I've been connected with

3948
02:30:36,060 --> 02:30:37,820
baseball in some capacity for

3949
02:30:38,320 --> 02:30:40,160
well let's see 30 years now and

3950
02:30:40,160 --> 02:30:46,300
we're going to play a ball on a

3951
02:30:46,300 --> 02:30:47,700
strike on the play McCrae in

3952
02:30:47,700 --> 02:30:49,540
this game has gone over three

3953
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:51,960
rather the third walk fly the

3954
02:30:51,960 --> 02:30:53,300
center and grab it into a double

3955
02:30:53,300 --> 02:30:56,180
play this might be the shortest

3956
02:30:56,180 --> 02:30:57,600
televised game that you've ever

3957
02:30:57,600 --> 02:30:57,900
done though.

3958
02:30:59,780 --> 02:31:00,480
I'll play.

3959
02:31:02,820 --> 02:31:04,080
Now we got the first nine

3960
02:31:04,080 --> 02:31:06,120
innings I mean in one particular

3961
02:31:06,120 --> 02:31:07,520
day I'm not going to get

3962
02:31:07,520 --> 02:31:08,520
technical please.

3963
02:31:08,520 --> 02:31:09,440
I'm not going to get technical

3964
02:31:09,440 --> 02:31:09,620
please.

3965
02:31:10,240 --> 02:31:11,240
I'm not going to get technical

3966
02:31:11,240 --> 02:31:11,520
please.

3967
02:31:11,720 --> 02:31:12,720
I'm not going to get technical

3968
02:31:12,720 --> 02:31:12,980
please.

3969
02:31:13,560 --> 02:31:15,360
That might be the replacements

3970
02:31:15,360 --> 02:31:17,480
for we might mention that George

3971
02:31:17,480 --> 02:31:20,520
Brett and Rocky Colabino and

3972
02:31:20,520 --> 02:31:21,720
Gaylord Perry are not here

3973
02:31:21,720 --> 02:31:22,000
tonight.

3974
02:31:22,100 --> 02:31:24,420
They were they were they were

3975
02:31:24,420 --> 02:31:26,260
ejected from the ballgame and

3976
02:31:26,260 --> 02:31:27,400
suspended from this game.

3977
02:31:27,440 --> 02:31:28,740
So they are not here tonight.

3978
02:31:28,960 --> 02:31:30,140
Dick Houser also is not in

3979
02:31:30,140 --> 02:31:30,460
uniform.

3980
02:31:30,660 --> 02:31:33,200
He was rejected to if McCrae

3981
02:31:33,200 --> 02:31:34,900
gets a base hit he'll have a 15

3982
02:31:34,900 --> 02:31:38,740
point lead for the book I'll

3983
02:31:38,740 --> 02:31:41,280
tell you the one of the owners

3984
02:31:41,280 --> 02:31:42,640
of the Kansas City Royals is

3985
02:31:42,640 --> 02:31:45,180
here watching the ballgame.

3986
02:31:45,280 --> 02:31:47,720
Averon Pogelman who bought 49

3987
02:31:47,720 --> 02:31:50,320
percent of the stock from Ewing

3988
02:31:50,320 --> 02:31:52,120
Kaufman earlier this year Billy

3989
02:31:52,120 --> 02:31:53,200
Martin the Yankee skipper

3990
02:31:56,700 --> 02:31:58,160
Colabino and Perry are on their

3991
02:31:58,160 --> 02:31:58,960
way to Baltimore.

3992
02:31:58,960 --> 02:32:04,960
The Yankees are back in the

3993
02:32:04,960 --> 02:32:06,320
top half of the ninth inning the

3994
02:32:06,320 --> 02:32:08,320
Royals scored two runs on two

3995
02:32:08,320 --> 02:32:08,600
hits.

3996
02:32:08,900 --> 02:32:10,100
There were no Yankees errors

3997
02:32:10,560 --> 02:32:12,460
and nobody left on base in the

3998
02:32:12,460 --> 02:32:13,160
middle of the night.

3999
02:32:13,400 --> 02:32:15,240
Five Kansas City for the Yankees

4000
02:32:17,140 --> 02:32:18,600
the announcement was made that

4001
02:32:18,600 --> 02:32:20,980
the four umpires who were here

4002
02:32:20,980 --> 02:32:22,540
for the original game McClellan

4003
02:32:22,540 --> 02:32:24,740
Cobol Brinkman and Remagen did

4004
02:32:24,740 --> 02:32:26,580
sign a notarized affidavit

4005
02:32:26,580 --> 02:32:28,360
stating that George Brown touched

4006
02:32:28,360 --> 02:32:30,320
every base on his home run.

4007
02:32:36,200 --> 02:32:37,440
Well I guess we've covered all

4008
02:32:37,440 --> 02:32:39,260
the legal ramifications of this

4009
02:32:39,260 --> 02:32:39,700
ballgame.

4010
02:32:39,740 --> 02:32:40,600
Well you reckon we have.

4011
02:32:41,060 --> 02:32:43,380
I don't know if we don't.

4012
02:32:43,400 --> 02:32:45,300
We'll find out later.

4013
02:32:46,640 --> 02:32:47,380
Here's the catcher.

4014
02:32:47,400 --> 02:32:48,420
He is Don Swat.

4015
02:32:50,340 --> 02:32:54,180
And the pitcher is supposed to be

4016
02:32:54,180 --> 02:32:55,640
Mike Armstrong but that is

4017
02:32:55,640 --> 02:32:56,700
the reason Barry.

4018
02:32:57,340 --> 02:32:58,700
They have announced that

4019
02:32:58,700 --> 02:33:00,100
Armstrong would start by

4020
02:33:00,100 --> 02:33:01,540
Quillen Barry is on the mound.

4021
02:33:03,920 --> 02:33:05,120
There's a lot of drama around

4022
02:33:05,120 --> 02:33:06,920
the first Yankee hitter Don

4023
02:33:06,920 --> 02:33:08,420
Mattingly will lead off the

4024
02:33:08,420 --> 02:33:09,660
bottom half of the ninth inning

4025
02:33:09,680 --> 02:33:11,280
if Mattingly should get a base

4026
02:33:11,280 --> 02:33:13,080
hit by the Mercer he would

4027
02:33:13,080 --> 02:33:15,260
establish a new record for

4028
02:33:15,720 --> 02:33:17,420
consecutive game winning streak

4029
02:33:17,420 --> 02:33:19,160
for a rookie in the major league

4030
02:33:20,660 --> 02:33:22,740
if he gets a base in here we are

4031
02:33:22,740 --> 02:33:24,260
told it would count as a

4032
02:33:24,260 --> 02:33:25,660
continuation of his hitting

4033
02:33:25,660 --> 02:33:27,500
streak which would give him 25

4034
02:33:27,500 --> 02:33:31,400
the streak now ended the previous

4035
02:33:31,400 --> 02:33:33,280
record twenty three consecutive

4036
02:33:33,280 --> 02:33:35,140
games by Mike Vail of the Mets

4037
02:33:35,140 --> 02:33:36,040
in seventy five.

4038
02:33:40,220 --> 02:33:41,380
Well it was straight in streak

4039
02:33:41,380 --> 02:33:42,980
his last hitting streak about

4040
02:33:42,980 --> 02:33:44,080
fifteen games right.

4041
02:33:44,580 --> 02:33:45,680
And so this will be a

4042
02:33:45,680 --> 02:33:47,520
continuation if he gets a hit

4043
02:33:47,520 --> 02:33:49,300
now of another 10 games that

4044
02:33:49,300 --> 02:33:50,660
lapsed in between that period of

4045
02:33:50,660 --> 02:33:51,260
time right.

4046
02:33:51,300 --> 02:33:52,560
This is the one game out of the

4047
02:33:52,560 --> 02:33:54,400
twenty five he did not have a

4048
02:33:54,400 --> 02:33:55,760
hit he's been to bat only once

4049
02:33:56,400 --> 02:33:57,640
and it's a ball and a strike

4050
02:33:58,260 --> 02:34:01,340
Mattingly lined out to lap after

4051
02:34:01,340 --> 02:34:04,400
replacing Steve Balboni he came

4052
02:34:04,400 --> 02:34:05,440
to bat in the seventh inning

4053
02:34:20,280 --> 02:34:21,620
and I'm sure both teams feel

4054
02:34:21,620 --> 02:34:22,820
like we're going to win this

4055
02:34:22,820 --> 02:34:23,260
game.

4056
02:34:23,460 --> 02:34:24,420
If we're going to be here we

4057
02:34:24,420 --> 02:34:25,520
might as well go ahead and win

4058
02:34:25,520 --> 02:34:25,720
it.

4059
02:34:28,160 --> 02:34:29,860
That will end the streak

4060
02:34:33,860 --> 02:34:35,140
Sheldon is there for the catch

4061
02:34:35,160 --> 02:34:36,740
and Mattingly is hitting streak

4062
02:34:36,740 --> 02:34:38,240
unless the Yankees tie it up and

4063
02:34:38,240 --> 02:34:40,280
he should come to bat again his

4064
02:34:40,280 --> 02:34:41,840
hitting streak has ended one out

4065
02:34:41,840 --> 02:34:42,780
in the bottom half of the night

4066
02:34:45,780 --> 02:34:50,980
and now Royce Molly Oscar

4067
02:34:50,980 --> 02:34:55,980
will bat for good read small he

4068
02:34:55,980 --> 02:34:57,420
has played the entire game we're

4069
02:34:57,420 --> 02:34:59,060
dead on the 24th all the way at

4070
02:34:59,060 --> 02:35:01,420
shortstop fly the center single

4071
02:35:01,420 --> 02:35:02,560
the center and fly the center

4072
02:35:02,560 --> 02:35:12,900
again I suppose you could have

4073
02:35:12,900 --> 02:35:14,840
done one or two things at the

4074
02:35:14,840 --> 02:35:16,300
first two guys got on you might

4075
02:35:16,300 --> 02:35:17,740
have been let get me but the guys

4076
02:35:17,740 --> 02:35:22,620
over put out prison barrier this

4077
02:35:22,620 --> 02:35:25,420
one that is including the game

4078
02:35:25,420 --> 02:35:27,060
since the night when he was

4079
02:35:27,660 --> 02:35:29,120
night before last when he last

4080
02:35:29,120 --> 02:35:31,320
pitch was in various one five

4081
02:35:31,320 --> 02:35:33,120
lost one and saved thirty two

4082
02:35:33,120 --> 02:35:37,820
games he this is his fifty first

4083
02:35:37,820 --> 02:35:40,100
appearance hundred and six

4084
02:35:40,100 --> 02:35:41,760
innings ninety eight hits ten

4085
02:35:41,760 --> 02:35:47,780
walks thirty eight strikeouts

4086
02:35:47,780 --> 02:35:49,580
two balls on a strike the count

4087
02:35:49,580 --> 02:35:57,240
to Royce Molly we might mention

4088
02:35:57,240 --> 02:35:58,620
that Willie Wilson was in and

4089
02:35:58,620 --> 02:35:59,920
out of this game so was Leon

4090
02:35:59,920 --> 02:36:01,320
Roberts so they're not eligible

4091
02:36:04,020 --> 02:36:07,400
and they had a left field and

4092
02:36:07,400 --> 02:36:11,960
they were on the right field and

4093
02:36:11,960 --> 02:36:15,440
Simpson on the warning track to

4094
02:36:15,440 --> 02:36:26,340
down two outs in the bottom half

4095
02:36:26,340 --> 02:36:27,320
of the night the royals are

4096
02:36:27,320 --> 02:36:28,840
leading by a score of five to

4097
02:36:28,840 --> 02:36:37,820
three Oscar Gamble will pass for

4098
02:36:37,820 --> 02:36:40,820
Rod Gimli I was sitting to eighty

4099
02:36:40,820 --> 02:36:46,060
six well after all this time and

4100
02:36:46,060 --> 02:36:47,960
after all the media attention

4101
02:36:47,960 --> 02:36:49,200
and everything that's going on

4102
02:36:49,200 --> 02:36:52,200
in the court it comes down to

4103
02:36:52,200 --> 02:36:54,700
one man Oscar Gamble the Yankees

4104
02:36:54,700 --> 02:37:02,080
all on all the drama was built

4105
02:37:02,080 --> 02:37:03,580
up to this particular point

4106
02:37:03,580 --> 02:37:04,080
right now.

4107
02:37:04,340 --> 02:37:09,140
Well down to a gamble and

4108
02:37:09,140 --> 02:37:11,580
Quillen Barry gamble has hit

4109
02:37:11,580 --> 02:37:12,860
seven home runs this year.

4110
02:37:13,380 --> 02:37:22,960
Twenty two are the eyes and that

4111
02:37:22,960 --> 02:37:24,760
may do it right.

4112
02:37:25,000 --> 02:37:26,740
Over to John Woffin and the

4113
02:37:26,740 --> 02:37:27,100
fine.

4114
02:37:29,340 --> 02:37:30,600
The Yankees are three up three

4115
02:37:30,600 --> 02:37:31,880
down here in the bottom half of

4116
02:37:31,880 --> 02:37:32,540
the ninth inning.

4117
02:37:33,480 --> 02:37:35,320
The final score the Kansas City

4118
02:37:35,320 --> 02:37:36,940
Royals five and the New York

4119
02:37:36,940 --> 02:37:53,000
Yankees for I think.
