00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Cleveland Indians faced the Texas Rangers at Arlington Stadium on Wednesday, April 11, 1979.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Cleveland had been a below average team for decades and were coached by Jeff Torborg in his final year with the Indians.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Texas was coached by Pat Corrales in his first season with the Rangers.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:32,000
The Rangers have been shuffling through five managers in three seasons despite finishing in second place in both 1977 and 78 behind the Royals.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
This audio recording is from the Cleveland Radio broadcast featuring announcers Joe Tate and Herb Scor.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:01:01,000
The umpires for tonight's game will be John James behind the plate, Mike Thompson at first base, Fred Spen at second base, and the third base umpire is Jeff Brown.

8
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Some interesting comments in the newspapers this morning. All of the Major League Baseball they have some of the umpires who are, I don't know whether they're on strike or they're locked out,

9
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
it's a difference of opinion, I appraise it, but they're not working.

10
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:23,000
And they pick at the ballpark and they are passing out literature outside the ballpark and they are extensively interviewed by television and radio people and of course newspaper people.

11
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Here in the Texas papers this morning one of the umpires was quoted as saying that if Fred Spen umpires in the American League he will never work with him,

12
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
he will never ride in the same taxi cab with him, and he will never go anyplace that he is.

13
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Fred Spen is a professional umpire and has been signed apparently to a three year contract by the Major League.

14
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And the other umpires say that when they go back to work they don't say if, they think they know that someday this thing will be settled they'll go back to work.

15
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:58,000
But they say there's not a Major League umpire presently who will ever work in the same ballgame with Fred Spen so this situation is not good to start with.

16
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,000
And as it is prolonged I think there will be some more hard feelings and some harder feelings go along and it's really not good for the game but for anybody.

17
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
And hopefully it will be settled one of these days in the near future.

18
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
In Major League Baseball this afternoon in the American League, Toronto is to play at Chicago, it has been postponed because of rain, they'll try it again tomorrow afternoon.

19
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:24,000
New York is at Baltimore, it is Figueroa against Palmer, each team scored two in the first inning, they have now played three and it is two to two.

20
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Chris Chambers had a home run in that game his first of the year just came in the fourth inning and so the Yankees have taken at least a three to two lead, they're still batting in the fourth.

21
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Detroit is in Kansas City, they'll try it again after being rained out last night.

22
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Billingham against Gura, later on Minnesota's at California, the twins bombed the Angels in Tanana last night eight to one.

23
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Oakland will be in Seattle and Boston and Milwaukee are not scheduled, they'll play their final game in that series tomorrow.

24
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
In the National League, the St. Louis Cardinals were to entertain the Chicago Cubs and they were rained out.

25
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Montreal and New York played, they went 11 innings just today, they went 14, today they did it in 11 and again it was Montreal winning it by a count of three to two, the same score they beat them by yesterday.

26
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Three runs on tenets and no errors from Montreal, two runs nine nets and one error for the Mets, they had just 5,980 in New York.

27
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:27,000
It was Rogers, Sosa, Freiman and Bonson from Montreal, Falcone and Lockwood worked for the Mets with the win going to Sosa to save for Bonson and it was Lockwood taking the loss.

28
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Sosa already in this young season has won two and lost one.

29
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Tony Perez had a home run in the 11th inning to win that game.

30
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Cincinnati's at Atlanta tonight, Cincinnati Reds are leading 5-0, Atlanta batting in the bottom half of the third at Yuma against Salomon.

31
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Pittsburgh against Philadelphia, Blylemon against Carlton and they're all tied up at one, they have gone three innings.

32
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:58,000
The Dodgers will be in Houston with Sutton going against Ken Fosh and San Diego will be in San Francisco and that rounds out the Major League Baseball action.

33
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:05,000
And in the NBA tonight, playoffs underway, New Jersey at Philadelphia, Atlanta will be in Houston.

34
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And here in Arlington, Texas, they tell us it is 67 degrees, the wind is blowing in from right field but it's right now just a very gentle breeze and it really should not affect the flight of the baseball too much.

35
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Eric Wilkins warming down in the Indian bullpen is opposing pitchers, Ryu Coma has finished his warm-ups and he is in the ranger dugout waiting for the rangers to charge onto the field.

36
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:40,000
330 feet down the left and right field lines here in Arlington, Texas, 400 feet to center field, 370 in the power alleys and there's an 11-foot fence that circles the ballpark.

37
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:54,000
There are seats completely circling this ballpark, it is really a one-deck affair and the seats in the outfield are considered their bleacher seats and everything else around the other area are reserves of our seats.

38
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000
And we will now have the playing and the singing of our national anthem.

39
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming

40
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming

41
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:45,000
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

42
00:05:45,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

43

Any rebroadcasts or views to the accounts and descriptions of this game is at the express written in front of the Cleveland Indians and 3WE radio.

45
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Steve Comer on the mound for the Texas Rangers. This young man has had a very interesting story. He went to the University of Minnesota and Comer was not drafted.

46
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:50,000
In June of 1976 they drafted 786 youngsters from colleges and high schools. They did not add Comer to their list.

47
00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:01,000
And funny things happened in baseball. During the winter instructional league that year in Sarasota, the manager of the Texas Ranger Farm Club needed some help.

48
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:12,000
And he called the scout, Joe Marchese, up around Minnesota. And he in turn called somebody else and they put a call in to Nick Sievert who was at the University of Minnesota.

49
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000
He's the baseball coach there. And they asked about Comer. He said, I think he's a pretty good kid. They asked for his telephone number.

50
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,000
It didn't take much to persuade him to head for Florida. Comer then was working in a construction crew.

51
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:35,000
He went to Florida and what happened after that is history. He was 7-2 in 1976. He went to Tulsa in 77 with 7-4, 6-4 in 1977 with Tucson.

52
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:45,000
And last year with the Texas Rangers, they won 111 and lost 5 with an earned run average of 2.30. Against the Indians he was 2-0 with an earned run average of 1.59.

53
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Toby Harris set the step in. Steve Comer set the goal. Joe Tate is always ready to go and he's here to tell you that it is.

54
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Nice for baseball. Thank you Herb. Good evening everybody. The right hander, Steve Comer, looks in guts to find from Jim Sunberg, the first pitch of the ball game.

55
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000
High and inside, off the mid of Sunberg, back to the screen, ball one.

56
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Toby Harris, right hand batter, 3-17 on the year with an RBI, 1-4 in last night's ball game. Comer deals again a swing and a miss. On the count evens it 1-1.

57
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:23,000
We have had a last minute change for the Texas Rangers at first base. Putnam is playing first base in place of Jorgensen.

58
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:34,000
1-1 to Harris, low and away, two balls, one strike. I have heard nothing to the contrary. I will assume that Putnam is in Jorgensen's number 8 spot on the order.

59
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Let's wait and see when they line them up offensively. Harris stepping back, 2-1 count on the right hand batter.

60
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Wind up by Comer, 2-1 pitch and Harris looks at a tighter for twice and the count is 2-2.

61
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Comer and Wilkins wear it off in this one tonight at Arlington Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

62
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Comer ready, now not ready, steps back. All set, delivers, Arrah lifts a foul ball, that will go to the right end and it will also go well out of play.

63
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Sunberg giving chase but no chance and the count remains at 2-2. Defensively it is Putnam at first base, Wills at second, Norman short, Bell at third,

64
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Sample in left, Oliver in center, Grub in right, Sunberg catching and on and on the right hander, Steve Comer.

65
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Wind up, 2-2 pitch, Harris takes the fast ball low and a full count of 3-2. Dave Garcia coaching at third base, Joe Nasik on the first base side.

66
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Pay off pitch to Toby Harris, swing and that is struck out.

67
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
There's something I haven't seen Joe, sitting in the box seat area a few rows behind the Indian dugout,

68
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Derwin Merrill and Jim Evans, American League umpires. They have their umpiring uniforms on and they're, I wonder if they get in the ballpark.

69
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Rick Manning a left hand batter, this will be his first at bat this season. Bell to the edge of the grass at third, Comer delivers fast ball low ball one.

70
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Rick had a good spring, he finished spring training getting five hits in his last six at bats.

71
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Patti Bonds on deck, wind up with a 1-0 pitch, breaking ball outside and high 2-0.

72
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Comer has not faced a batter since he worked four innings against the Yankees in an exhibition game on March the 30th.

73
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Wind up with a 2-0 pitch, a foul ball well back out of play to the left and the count is 2-1.

74
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Comer 1-11 and lost by, he was 2-0 against the Indians in two relief appearances.

75
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Wind up by Steve in the 2-1 pitch and Manning hits it hard to third. Bell on one knee, back hands up, throw count.

76
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Bell went to one knee toward the foul line, back hand to the ball, straightened up and throughout Manning.

77
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Now there are two outs in the first inning.

78
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000
On your number 25, Bobby Bonds.

79
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Bobby Bonds, finds four for 18 of the year with a run batted in, oh for four last night, right hand batter.

80
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
The outside heard, Comer looks very quick.

81
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Yes he is.

82
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Pitch, foul ball, low ball one.

83
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Throwing the ball well, good flattery, they got Toby Herron.

84
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000
2-0 pitch and Thornton out, Bonds out in front of a breaking ball and the count is 1-1.

85
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Change up.

86
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
One ball, one strike with two outs.

87
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Bonds being played to pull with power and the ball is bundled, fouled back to the base of the screen.

88
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
One ball, two strikes.

89
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
And they Thornton on deck.

90
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:15,000
In the top half of the first inning,

91
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Steve Comer looks and gets the sign from Sunberg.

92
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
One-two pitch to Bonds, outside.

93
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Two balls, two strikes.

94
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Comer, 6-3, 207 pounds.

95
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Again out in front of the breaking ball and this one is bounced foul over to the third base dugout.

96
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
They were somewhat sitting on the dugout steps, picks it off.

97
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Two balls, two strikes.

98
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Bonds kicking the dirt around to the batter's box.

99
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Harris struck out, Manning bounced to third, two-two pitch to Bonds, way outside.

100
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Sunberg leaping quickly to his right, picks it off at a full count of three and two.

101
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Barnight waits against Jenkins in the finale of this series.

102
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000
And it's off to Boston.

103
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Here comes the payoff pitch.

104
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Bonds swings away and chops his foul beyond the dugout. It's still three and two.

105
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Looks like the umpire has had somebody else's seats there being asked to move.

106
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000
That's the second time I've seen them move since they came in.

107
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Somebody better check those stuff.

108
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Here's the three-two pitch to Bonds, wraps it back to the shortstop on the third hop.

109
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Norman has it, throws and got him by less than a step.

110
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,000
On the first inning, Steve Comer puts him away, one-two-three.

111
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
And at the end of one-half inning, the Indians stuffing and the Texas Rangers are coming to bat.

112
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Nobody's quite like you, you got your own thing to do.

113
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,000
You like your beer, light and clear, refreshing like mountain air.

114
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:09,000
You like your blue jeans, older, like your mountain folder.

115
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Head for the mountains, the mountains are good.

116
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Just reach out and you'll be here. Just reach out and you'll be here in the mountains of good beer.

117
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Head for the mountains, the mountains are good.

118
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Just reach out and you'll be here. Just reach out and you'll be here in the mountains of good beer.

119
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Head for the mountains, the mountains are good.

120
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Checking the defensive alignment for the Cleveland Indians, Andre Thornton at first base,

121
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Dwayne Kuyper at second base, Tom Verizon at short, Toby Herra at third, Ted Cox in left,

122
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
the center fielder Rick Manning, the right fielder, Bobby Bonds,

123
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
the catcher is Gary Alexander down the mound, young Eric Wilkins,

124
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Frank Lucchese coaching at third base, first inning at first,

125
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000
and it will be Will Campbell and Oliver to test Eric Wilkins.

126
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Up Wills, a switch hitter going to the left side against right-hander Eric Wilkins.

127
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Two for eight on the season and 0 for 4 in last night's game.

128
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Herra comes to the edge of the grass at third, just inside the cover of the grass,

129
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
and Eric Wilkins winds up and delivers, and the first pitch is Rip Powell to the left,

130
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,000
back up into the chairs, there's a fellow walking along with about 10 hot dogs

131
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000
and six or seven soft drinks and that thing went right by his ear.

132
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,000
He didn't realize that he was in the flight path until he heard it go by.

133
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Off that it hit, what a miss.

134
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Strike from the couch, wind up, Wilkins throws to Wills,

135
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,000
a line drive right at Dwayne Kiper, one out.

136
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Will smashes a liner right back to Kiper at second base and there's one down,

137
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
and it brings on Bill Sample, the left fielder.

138
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Sample 1 for 4 with an RBI on the season and 0 for 3 with an RBI on the sacrifice fly last night.

139
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Sample sporting a red 5 trimmed in blue on the back of his flight home Texas uniform,

140
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
the Indians of course in the traveling gray.

141
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Bri will be home next Tuesday against these Texas Rangers at 12.05 at the stadium.

142
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Wind up and the pitch and Sample wraps the bouncer to his left,

143
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Toby Herra picks and throws down in.

144
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Toby Herra ranging along the edge of the grass running towards second base,

145
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
made the pick up of an eye of the bouncing ball and then threw a line into first,

146
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
and that is 2-1.

147
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
This brings on Al Oliver.

148
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Al Oliver was the hitting hero out here last night with 2 colossal flouts

149
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
through a 40 mile an hour wind into the seats and right.

150
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
A left hand batter, 3 for 8 on the year, 2 homers 5 runs batted in,

151
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
2 for 4 last night with 2 homers and 3 runs batted home.

152
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Wind up by Wilkins and here comes the first pitch to Oliver and he takes the strike

153
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,000
of the knees, strike one.

154
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Harold pulled well off the line at third, Outfield pulled around, strike one pitch,

155
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Oliver swinging a moose on a breaking ball, strike two.

156
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
I have asked you this before Herb but it seems appropriate to ask again,

157
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
do you remember your first start in the big leagues?

158
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Yes I do.

159
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
What happened?

160
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Long time ago back in Detroit.

161
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Oh yeah I remember that, way back.

162
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
We won the game but it was a struggle.

163
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Here comes the 0-2 pitch to Oliver, high fastball 1 and 2.

164
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
I think I walked 10 men.

165
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
I didn't wind up many times that day, I was always in the stretch.

166
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
One ball, two strikes and two outs.

167
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:01,000
First inning, no score, Tribe went in order against Coleman.

168
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Wilkins winds up and delivers the 1-2 and Oliver is swinging

169
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
and a miss, rock him out.

170
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Good fastball by Eric.

171
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
So it's three up, three down against Wilkins and the first we've played one at Arlington.

172
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
The score, clear but nothing, Texas nothing.

173
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000
What's the easiest, most economical way to get the crew to the game?

174
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000
In a van, a Dodge van and they're just $46.58 today at Spitzer Dodge.

175
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Will Gayhart and Spitzer Dodge are celebrating 75 years in the automobile business

176
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
by giving you what may be their lowest prices ever on Dodge trucks and vans.

177
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Over 150 to choose from.

178
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Tough Dodge trucks, just $41.83 and Dodge vans, only $46.58.

179
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Come in and see us today at Spitzer Dodge in Columbus.

180
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
It's different.

181
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
It's exciting.

182
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
It's the kind of club that you wish you'd known about sooner.

183
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Marco Polo, the super disco for people over 21

184
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,000
with the finest selection of current music and the sound system unconditionally guaranteed

185
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
to shake your senses and your soul.

186
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Every Wednesday is ladies night and happy hour lasts all day long.

187
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Marco Polo, 1605 West Fifth Avenue in Columbus, right across from North Star.

188
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:27,000
The Pirates going long ball in the fifth inning of play hitting a two run homer.

189
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
And that is going to put the Pirates on top four to two.

190
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Yankees now have a five to two lead on Baltimore with Baltimore batting in the fifth.

191
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Andre Thornton leads off with a second inning for the Indians.

192
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
One for 13 on the year with an RBI one for four last night.

193
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Comer delivers and Thornton hits a bouncing ball to the shortstop. Norman picks it up, throws across and there's one away.

194
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Andre Thornton grounding to the shortstop.

195
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Brings on Gary Alexander, the Cleveland catcher.

196
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Alex one for 13 on the year with an RBI and one for three in last night's ball game.

197
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Dodgers failed in the first at Houston tonight.

198
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Sutton against Ken Porsch and of course the interesting

199
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,000
side light or even highlight to that game is that Ken Porsch who pitched a no hitter

200
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,000
the last time out is going to try and go for two in a row tonight.

201
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Alexander one out, nobody on.

202
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
First pitch to Alex going to bump the ball, shoves the bat back out of the way in time.

203
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Ball one, pitch was away.

204
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Kind of opened up the middle for Alex with the center fielder shaded in the left center.

205
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Shortstop Norman pulled over and back.

206
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:49,000
One old pitch and Alex hits a high fly ball to right field going over is Johnny Grubb toward the foul line. Reaches out, makes the running catch.

207
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Neatly done by Grubb and right two down.

208
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Here's Jim Norris with Manning back on the lineup.

209
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Norris has returned to the DH role and has been moved down to the number six spot of the order.

210
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Jim is six for 16 on the year and one for four in last night's ball game.

211
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Norris is six safely in all four of the Indian ball games.

212
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Also has the team leadership in field with three.

213
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Ted Cox on deck.

214
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Wind up on the pitch, Norris drives it off to the left and it is a foul ball. Strike one.

215
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Strike one to count.

216
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Delan on the grass, the third.

217
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Wind up and strike one pitch.

218
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Fast ball inside, one ball, one strike.

219
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Ted Cox on deck.

220
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Now the wind up on the one-one pitch. Norris fouls it back over the standing screen into the seats in the second section.

221
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:10,000
This is for all intents and purposes a single deck up there all the way around, but they do have a raised section behind home plate.

222
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,000
There is an upper deck behind it up over the press box, swinging a foul to the screen.

223
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
One ball, two strikes.

224
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,000
That has just been recently added here.

225
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:28,000
And they put this ballpark together back, I believe, in about 1965 for Triple-A ballers, who needed 9,000.

226
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Bouncing ball off the bat of Norris, the third, on a high hop to Buddy Bill who grabs a rifle to first, just in time to get Norris.

227
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
And the side is retired again, one, two, three.

228
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:44,000
At the end of it, inning and a half, it is Cleveland nothing, Texas nothing.

229
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Nobody's quite like you, you got your own thing to do.

230
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:57,000
You like your beer, light and clear, refreshing like mountain air.

231
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:04,000
You like your blue jeans older, like your mountain folder.

232
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Head for the mountains, the mountains of Butch.

233
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Reach out and you'll be here.

234
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Just reach out and you'll be here in the mountains of Butch beer.

235
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Head for the mountains, the mountains of Butch. Reach out and you'll be here.

236
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Just reach out and you'll be here in the mountains of Butch beer.

237
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Don't just reach for your beer. Head for the mountains of Butch.

238
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:45,000
That's Butch saying, what's the story?

239
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:52,000
In the home half of the second inning, Johnny Grubb, Buddy Bellman, Oscar Gamble come to bat this afternoon in the National League.

240
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Montreal won 11 to beat the Mets 3-2 on a 20-per-res home run.

241
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Cincinnati leads Atlanta 5-1 in the fourth inning tonight.

242
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Pittsburgh 4-2 over Philadelphia in the fifth.

243
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Still to be heard from, San Diego is San Francisco and the Dodgers fail on the first of Houston.

244
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Wind up by Eric Wilkins in the first pitch, the left-hand batting Johnny Grubb is low, ball one.

245
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:20,000
John 2-9 on the year with a home run, two runs batted in and one for four in last night's contest.

246
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Wind up by Wilkins and the pitch to Grubb and John drills a foul to the left back into the seat.

247
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
And the count evens it a ball and a strike.

248
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000
And Grubb also broke his bat.

249
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Toronto and the White Sox reigned out in Chicago this afternoon and will reschedule it for tomorrow.

250
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Yankees 5-2 over Baltimore now in the fifth.

251
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Detroit failed on the first in Kansas City, that's Stubbingham against Gora.

252
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Boston and Milwaukee are not scheduled.

253
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Minnesota plays California and Oakland and Seattle later tonight in the NBA playoff.

254
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Philadelphia leads New Jersey at the end of the first quarter, 33-22.

255
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
That is not a surprise, is it?

256
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000
No, it does not surprise me.

257
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Who do you think is going to win, ultimately?

258
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Washington.

259
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Washington?

260
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Yep. One ball and one strike.

261
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Pitch to Grubb, bouncing ball, shortstopmerizer, gets it on the hop, fires the first.

262
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Grubb is gone and there's one away in the second inning.

263
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
And I think I have now probably just put the kiss of death on the Washington Bullets

264
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000
because I have a great facility for picking wrongs.

265
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
They should win it, even in my way of thinking.

266
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Here's Buddy Bell.

267
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Bell won three in the year one for four last night, had a double.

268
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Buddy defensively in these first two games has sparkled a third.

269
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Which is no surprise to us.

270
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
That's right.

271
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Wind up, and the pitch to Bell, and hit him.

272
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:45,000
And inside fastball, put Buddy going by, and Bell has been hit by the pitch.

273
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Now Buddy trots down to first base.

274
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Texas trainer comes trotting out to see if he's all right.

275
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Trainer is Bill Ziegler.

276
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Just a glancing blow.

277
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Well, Bell at first.

278
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Alexander going out to talk to Wilkins with one out and now one on.

279
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Oscar Gamble, the left-hand batting designated hitter, is due.

280
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Oscar won for four on the year one for two last nights.

281
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Jerry Alexander going out to the mound to talk with Eric Wilkins.

282
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Calm him down a bit.

283
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Pitching with the man on first for the first time.

284
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Applause.

285
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Wilkins working from the stretch.

286
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Bell with a short lead at first base.

287
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Andre Thornton holding out the bag.

288
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,000
The pitch is low and away, ball one.

289
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,000
This is the home half of the second inning and there is no score.

290
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Comer put the first six Indians away in order, and Wilkins exposed to the first four Rangers before hitting Buddy Bell,

291
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,000
and now Gamble at bat with Bell at first base.

292
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,000
And the 1-0 pitch. Oscar drooled, went back over the screen into the seat.

293
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,000
The count is even. It's 1-1, and a fan down below. It's made a fine catch.

294
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:10,000
1-1 count. Gamble sporting a full beard and a clipped afro.

295
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Same amount of hair, just relocated.

296
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Throw over to first base, Bell diving back to the bag.

297
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Didn't have to, it was just a lob throw, but he's taking no chances.

298
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Hit the deck.

299
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:32,000
And the home plate umpire, John James, goes to work with a whisk broom.

300
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000
The stretch, and Wilkins delivers the 1-1 pitch.

301
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Gamble takes low, two balls and a strike.

302
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:51,000
We'll be getting a station break for you here very shortly.

303
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Look for the sign. Wilkins the stretch.

304
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Bell leads it first, 2-1 pitch. Gamble chops the ball foul into the first base.

305
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
Dug out, and now we will pause for station identification.

306
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
This is the Cleveland Indians baseball news.

307
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,000
This has been your Sunday mornings with Gene Beatty here on 3WJ.

308
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:20,000
That's WWWJ Johnstown.

309
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,000
2-2 count. Wilkins to Gamble bouncing ball off the glove of Thornton.

310
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Ricket chase off to Kuyper and everybody's third.

311
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Thornton going to his right, got the heel of the glove on the ball.

312
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
The vice versa.

313
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Bounce way up in the air.

314
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Charge to Andre Thornton, and now the Rangers have runners at first and at second.

315
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:49,000
And nobody out. One man out.

316
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,000
This brings on the catcher, Jim Sunberg.

317
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Sunberg, 1-7 on the air with an RBI and 0-3 in last night's ball game.

318
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Right hand batter against the right hander, Eric Wilkins.

319
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:26,000
One out here in the second inning. The pitch to Sunberg, he poured him a fastball, strike one.

320
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Stretched by Wilkins, runners leading first and second.

321
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Strike one, pitch to Sunberg. Fastball inside.

322
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
One ball, one strike.

323
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
On deck is Pat Putnam.

324
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,000
First baseman, a last minute substitution in the starting lineup.

325
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Stretch, look back, and pitch. Fastball low, two and one.

326
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Putnam and Sample and Norman will be at least somewhat familiar with Wilkins because of the PCL.

327
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
I think he said, he told you last night he pitched against him once.

328
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Stretch, two-one pitch. Fastball inside.

329
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Three and one to count.

330
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Alexander steps out in front of the plate, throws the ball, and a few words of encouragement back to Eric Wilkins.

331
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Eric is not missing by a lot. He's just missing almost in the same spot just above the knees off the inside corner.

332
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Rupp opened the inning with a ground ball to short.

333
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Funnybell was hit by a pitch and Oscar gambled safe on an error charge to Andre Thornton.

334
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Three-one count on Jim Sunberg. Stretched by Wilkins in the pitch, he flips it low, ball for it.

335
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:47,000
The bases are loaded with one out.

336
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Bell goes to third, gambled down to second. Sunberg on it first.

337
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,000
And out to the mound, Charlie Hartenstein.

338
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000
The batter is Pat Putnam.

339
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Putnam a left-hand hitter, two for three in the year with three RBIs.

340
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
And on top of that, he had a pinch hit single for a run batted in here last night.

341
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000
At Tucson last year, Putnam hit 309 with 21 homers and 96 RBIs.

342
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:23,000
So Hartenstein has had a chat with Wilkins and heads back into the dugout.

343
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,000
And Pat Putnam gets ready.

344
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:43,000
The Rangers have loaded the bases in the second inning and there is, to this point anyway, no score in the ball game.

345
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
First pitch, Putnam lifts a foul ball off to the left.

346
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:56,000
It's Souvenir out of play and the count is strike one.

347
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Bell at third, gambled at second. Sunberg at first.

348
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Wind up in the pitch.

349
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Wing and a miss.

350
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Run for a pitch down below the knees.

351
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:20,000
That might have been the fourth ball. Looks like the bottom really fell out of it.

352
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Wilkins waiting while Putnam steps back and now steps back.

353
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Wilkins standing erect on the mound, gets the sign, glances over to third.

354
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Here's the pitch to Putnam, foul ball back over the screen into the seat.

355
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,000
And the count is strike two.

356
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Bases loaded, one out.

357
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Wind up on the pitch.

358
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Putnam went for one low, gets away from Alexander.

359
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:07,000
He goes back quickly, picks it up on the edge of the grass behind home plate and there's no advance of third by Buddy Bell.

360
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Dix gives the ball back to Eric Wilkins and Eric takes that walk back to the mound.

361
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
A hit batter and Eric and a walk to blow to the bases for the Rangers with one out on the second inning.

362
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:25,000
On deck is the shortstop Nelson Norman, the number nine man on the Texas order.

363
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Wilkins cranks up the one-two pitch to Putnam.

364
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Fast ball going inside, two balls, two strikes.

365
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Putnam with a 18 and right at the back of the home plate, steps back and then in.

366
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Rotates the bat and ready.

367
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Two-two pitch, swing and a bouncing foul back to the screen.

368
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:01,000
That remains even if two balls, two strikes.

369
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:09,000
On half of the second inning, Rangers won last night's ball, game five to nothing.

370
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Two balls, two strikes.

371
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Here's the pitch to Putnam, a high fly ball to right center field.

372
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
To his right, Bobby Bond makes the catcher come and spell the throws going to third base.

373
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Get on over to here, the run scores from third on Cuddy Bell,

374
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:33,000
slips it up right, Putnam with a sacrifice fly and the Rangers lead one to nothing.

375
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Bell scoring from third base but there's no further advance.

376
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:46,000
First run of the ball game and it was accomplished without a base hit.

377
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Oh, it's two on and two out, here's Nelson Norman, the shortstop, right hand back.

378
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Norman one for four on the year one for two last time.

379
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Gambled at second, Sundberg at first.

380
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,000
The stretch by Wilkins and the pitch to Norman, swing and a miss.

381
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Strike one.

382
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:18,000
The deck is pumped willed.

383
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:24,000
The stretch, look back and the strike one pitch and Norman jammed with a fast ball.

384
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:34,000
The count is even at a ball when it strikes.

385
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Look in for the side.

386
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,000
The stretch, look back, one one pitch, hit hard up the middle,

387
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Verizon down, ball off his glove into center field, Gambled scores,

388
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,000
ball tops away from Manning but he stays with it.

389
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Sundberg stops at second and it's an RBI single for Norman to make it through to helping.

390
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Tommy Verizon came within about a half a foot of grabbing that ball,

391
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,000
just off the end of the glove.

392
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000
First hit, second run.

393
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Both these runs will be unearned incidentally.

394
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000
And that brings up the top of the order.

395
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Eric Wilkins now has just about done it all.

396
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:22,000
He's had a strikeout, he's walked the batter, he's given up a hit, he has hit a batter.

397
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Sundberg stops at second base.

398
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Bump wills, he opens with a line drive to the second base.

399
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Texas leads two to nothing.

400
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Eric coming into the edge of the grass at third base.

401
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000
First base side dropping back, follow that stand better.

402
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Stretched by Wilkins with a pitch to Will, swing and a miss, strike one.

403
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Texas two runs, one hit, the Indians no runs, no hits, and an error.

404
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,000
A stretch and a pitch.

405
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Line drive and a center field, a base hit.

406
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Rounding third is Sundberg, here comes Manning, throw to the plate, he is out of the plate.

407
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Line throw by Rick Manning.

408
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Manning fired his strike to Alexander Nutz, puts the tag on Sundberg, sliding in.

409
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
And the inning is over, a base hit.

410
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,000
That makes the final total for the frame, two runs, two hits and an error,

411
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:29,000
with a man left, with two men left, and the score at the end of two innings of play,

412
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Texas two, Cleveland nothing.

413
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,000
At Shell Auto Care, being good with your hands isn't good enough.

414
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Their mechanics have to pass tests for brake work, tune-ups, air conditioning, and front end work.

415
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,000
They have to be certified by Shell, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.

416
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,000
You know, it's funny, a lot of people don't expect much from mechanics,

417
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
but they're the people who haven't been to Shell Auto Care.

418
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:57,000
It's everything you never expected car repairs to be.

419
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Sunset in the mountains, the sparkling waters in each stream slowly turning to shining gold.

420
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:13,000
The high craggy peaks quietly glow in the fading light, and the stillness falls like a soft secret snow.

421
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,000
It's time to sit back, relax, and feel good about the day.

422
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Sunset in the mountains, don't miss it.

423
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000
St. Louis, Missouri.

424
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:39,000
In the top of the third inning, the bottom three of the Indians order,

425
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Ted Cox, Dwane Kuyper, and Tom Berizer against Steve Comer.

426
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Texas now with a 2-0 lead.

427
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Steve Comer has retired the first six men in a row.

428
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:04,000
On the scoreboard, Cincinnati has now really done a job on Atlanta again tonight.

429
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,000
It is 9-1 with the Braves batting in the fifth inning of play.

430
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:15,000
And Lucas Sepsioan had a grand slammer in that big four-run fifth.

431
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Ted Cox, got an 0-4 into the year.

432
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Now that can't be. They got him 0-4 into the year and 1-4 last night.

433
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:34,000
Cox, well, his league stats have him 0-4-8 on the year, but he was 1-4 last night.

434
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000
That's right.

435
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,000
And in fact, with 2-4-8 coming in, so he is really 3-4-12 on the year.

436
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
I'm not sure where they got the 0-4-8.

437
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Well, the other day they had Cage without having hit two.

438
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Here's the pitch to Cox low, ball two.

439
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Now I guess the computer doesn't get any spring training.

440
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,000
The pitch is hit up in the air down the right field line off the bat of Cox.

441
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Putnam back.

442
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Wills over. Wills on the run, the bullpen, the ball dropped.

443
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Wills called Putnam off the ball, but the ball kept sailing away from him.

444
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Putnam actually ended up closer to it than anybody else.

445
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:23,000
So Teddy is 3-4-12 on the year rather than the 0-4-8 that I had given you earlier.

446
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:36,000
The count is 2-1-1.

447
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Steve Comery, 11-5 last year.

448
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Teddy Cox discovered his bat was broken and had to go back over to get another one.

449
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Detroit 1-0 over Kansas City at the end of two innings of play on a walking foot home run.

450
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Pittsburgh and Philly are 4-4 with the Phillies batting the sixth inning at Philadelphia.

451
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,000
There's a slap up the middle by Cox at his center field.

452
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:09,000
A base hit. Comer put his bare hand up in the air and almost made contact.

453
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,000
He ought to be very happy he didn't reach it.

454
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,000
That is right.

455
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
There's a shot up the middle at his center field.

456
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000
That is the first Indian hit of the ball game.

457
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
And it brings to bat Dwayne Kuyper.

458
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Kuyper 4-15 on the season with two RBI's, two for four in last night's ball game.

459
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Now Ken Forch will not pitch another no-hitter tonight.

460
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Dodgers got him for a pair on the second inning.

461
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Yankees 5-2 over Baltimore on the sixth.

462
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:47,000
First pitch, Cox on the go and Kuyper bounced the ball foul back to the screen.

463
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Strike one count on the left hand batting.

464
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Captain of the Indians, Dwayne Kuyper.

465
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Comer looks in working from the stretch for the runner at first base, nobody else.

466
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Here's the pitch and Kuyper takes it low and away.

467
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:13,000
One ball, one strike.

468
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Comer, the sign from Sundberg.

469
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,000
The stretch, a pitch, Kuyper lifts a fly ball behind the shortstop.

470
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Norman who'd come in goes back but melts back there and puts the ball right off the end of the glove.

471
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:40,000
But he made the basket catch but the ball was right on the fingertips of his glove and he just hung on.

472
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,000
One away, Cox and Forch retreat to first base.

473
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Tom Verizon, right hand batting, shortstop, nine on the order.

474
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Two for 14 of the year with a run batted in and an 0 for four last night.

475
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:02,000
The stretch and the pitch and Tommy takes outside, ball one.

476
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:14,000
We're at the top of the third and the Texas Rangers have taken a two to nothing lead.

477
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Throw over to first base, back to the bag, goes Cox.

478
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Stretch and the pitch, Verizon takes low, Sundberg came up ready to throw but Cox retrieves it to the bag.

479
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:46,000
The error in the second inning with both runs against Wilkins in the unearned category.

480
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Fine throw by Rick Manning that inning.

481
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,000
It's about to consider Rick has not played since last Monday.

482
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Stretch and the pitch, Verizon bangs the ball foul over into the third base dugout.

483
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Two balls in the strike.

484
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Steve Comer wearing a red 11 on the back of his uniform.

485
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Cox leads it first, one out, one out.

486
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:24,000
And a throw over to first base, Teddy puts the foot back in the bag in time ahead of the tag by Putnam.

487
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,000
August 5th, Comer went an inning in the third, picked up a four to three win.

488
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,000
August 13th, he was a six to five winner in four in a third inning against Cleveland.

489
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,000
There's a ball off the glove as Sundberg rolls down the third base line.

490
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,000
Sundberg quickly on top of it and there's no advance by Cox.

491
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,000
Two balls in the strike.

492
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:44,000
When Comer throws that fastball low and inside to the right hand of a low and away to the left hand, it really sinks.

493
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000
The ball just bore right in on him.

494
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Throw the hair on deck.

495
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:59,000
A stretch, Comer's three-one, picks to Verizon, Cox goes and the ball is fouled back.

496
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:11,000
Three-two.

497
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Booked out of three and two.

498
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Verizon keeping an eye on Dave Garcia, the Indians' third base coach.

499
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,000
A stretch and the playoff pitch runner goes.

500
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Verizon lifts the fly ball into center field.

501
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Oliver started back now, he's coming on and makes the running catch.

502
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Cox on his way back to first base to throw.

503
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:48,000
That's what it's time, goes to the pitcher backing up as it came through the first base and on the bounce.

504
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:53,000
Two down with Cox safely back at first base.

505
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Al Oliver is rapidly becoming a big hero down there.

506
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Two home runs last night, didn't hurt him any.

507
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,000
And of course he batted 324 last year.

508
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,000
He is one of the better hitters in the American League.

509
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Toby Harrah, Harrah struck out swinging to start the ball game against Coleman.

510
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Over in Salisbury at the Sportscasters and Sportswriters Convention.

511
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Here's the pitch and Harrah takes the strike, strike one.

512
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:23,000
The host and hostess, Dr. Charlie and Marnie Steinman.

513
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Marnie is a relative of Toby Harrah, they come from Marion High School in Marion, Ohio.

514
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Toby says half the town is my relation.

515
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:37,000
He hit it at first base and Putnam had to go around the runner to flag that wild pitch down.

516
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:44,000
He did, Cox at first base.

517
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:50,000
A stretch, strike one, pitch bounces into center.

518
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Dr. Steinman is in your category.

519
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Herbie turns in five miles a day chugging up and down the streets of Salisbury.

520
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Doesn't look a day over 80.

521
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:04,000
One ball, one strike.

522
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Throw strikes, throw pitch and a foul fly.

523
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000
First base side, Putnam chasing and lead a ticket.

524
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,000
It's in the scene.

525
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:20,000
One ball, two strikes.

526
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,000
We're in the top half of the third inning.

527
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
The Indians put the leadoff man Ted Cox on base with a single to center.

528
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,000
The chiper popped up and Verizon flagged a center.

529
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:39,000
And now Toby Harrah trying to keep the inning alive with a one-two count and Rick Manning on deck.

530
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Comer's a stretch and then he steps back.

531
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Comer works much more slowly with people on base than he does when base is empty.

532
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
He surely does.

533
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:56,000
A stretch, one, two, pitch and another foul fly that was deeper into the seats on the right side.

534
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,000
And the count remains with a ball and two strikes.

535
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Comer doesn't like the baseball that he had and he wants another one.

536
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,000
The home plate up front.

537
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:11,000
David Clyde I understand released today from Lutheran Medical Center which is good news.

538
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
We hope he'll be back with us soon.

539
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,000
He's a fine young man.

540
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,000
We missed seeing him around and he's going to be a good pitcher.

541
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000
One, two to count.

542
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Here's the pitch and a bouncing foul right over to the on-deck circle and into the seat.

543
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Also good to see Wayne Garland back in an Indian uniform working out.

544
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,000
He is eligible to go off to the Sablist on April the 18th.

545
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
So, Bo Diaz.

546
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,000
I think he can get off on the 14th.

547
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,000
I'm sorry, yeah, the 14th.

548
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:40,000
The Garland's the 18th and Diaz is the 14th.

549
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,000
One ball and two strikes on Toby Harrah.

550
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Stretched by Comer.

551
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:49,000
Cox leads the first pitch to Harrah outside, brought up first base and Cox scampers back to the base.

552
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Jim Sunberg is a catcher who is not afraid to throw the ball and he throws well.

553
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Now there are some catchers who should be afraid to throw.

554
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,000
That's right.

555
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,000
And they still do.

556
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Sunberg is not afraid and throws extremely well.

557
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Breaking ball inside, three and two now on Toby Harrah.

558
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Comer looks into Sunberg for the sign.

559
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,000
A stretch, pitch, swing and a miss.

560
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,000
Toby Harrah strikes out for the second time against Comer.

561
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,000
The ending is over.

562
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,000
No runs and a hit with a man left at the end of two and one half innings of play.

563
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,000
It is Texas 2, play of another.

564
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:41,000
When you get your car fixed at Shell Auto Care, you get a lot of things you'd never expect.

565
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:46,000
Not only do you get a written estimate in advance, you get your own parts back to inspect.

566
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:51,000
You get a mechanic who's been certified by Shell or the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.

567
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,000
And when all is said and done, every repair is backed in writing.

568
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,000
So bring your car to Shell.

569
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:03,000
It's everything you never expected car repairs to be.

570
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,000
That's a push.

571
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:59,000
The Rangers sample Oliver and Grubb in the third inning.

572
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Yankees 5 to 2 over Baltimore on the seventh.

573
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,000
Kansas City now 2 to 1 over Detroit on the fourth.

574
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Here it is 2 to nothing Texas and we're in the third inning of play.

575
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Pitch to Sam O'Lo.

576
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Two balls, no strikes.

577
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Al Oliver on deck.

578
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000
The pitch, foul ball back over the screen.

579
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,000
A simpler end of the sheet.

580
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Fortunately you hear an empty chair.

581
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,000
I think before we come back next time we'll see that other screen put up again.

582
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Somebody's going to get killed back there.

583
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Take us some heavy shots back there.

584
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Looking for the time by Wilkins.

585
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Here comes the 2-1 pitch.

586
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,000
High, high foul fly over the first base dugout.

587
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Thornton to the railing, no chance, six rows deep.

588
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,000
Two balls, two strikes.

589
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,000
Wilkins, Thornton, Alexander all in the neighborhood.

590
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:21,000
The ball was into the chairs about six rows behind the first base dugout.

591
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:26,000
Want to say hi to Grandpa from Tony and Gary who are rooting for the Indians down here tonight.

592
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,000
2-2 pitch.

593
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Sample outside, fastball, three count of three and two.

594
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Folks who sent us the donuts last night are right back at it again tonight.

595
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Yes they are.

596
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,000
They greeted us outside the ballpark.

597
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Mike and Peggy Vansik.

598
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Here comes the 3-2 pitch.

599
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Low ball for Sam O'Lough that starts the third inning.

600
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Second walk given up by Wilkins to Al Oliver.

601
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Oliver a strikeout victim to win the first inning of play.

602
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:09,000
All right, Peggy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Jemison are opening in of course again tonight.

603
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Mike and Peggy Vansik are right here at the ballpark rooting for the Tribe.

604
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Throw to first base with Sample back in the back.

605
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000
They're sitting just down below us.

606
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:23,000
He has an Indian cap on and she has a shirt with the Cleveland Indians marked on it.

607
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Stretched by Wilkins, the pitch to Oliver wraps it by the mound.

608
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Verizon, the shortstop, flips over to Kuyper for their fourth play on Sample but Duane has no chance to relay.

609
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Head man is gone.

610
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:37,000
Sample out six to four if you scored shortstop for the second baseman covering.

611
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,000
That's the first out of the second inning.

612
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:44,000
Puts Oliver at first base and brings on Johnny Grubb.

613
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:52,000
John bounce to the shortstop for the second inning and then the Rangers want to work the two runs.

614
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Rangers with two runs, two hits.

615
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:59,000
The Indians no runs to hit and error.

616
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,000
Eric Wilkins looks in for the sign from Gary Alexander.

617
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Grubb a left hand batter, Lovell for lumber as Oliver takes the short lead at first and Grubb raps and

618
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:14,000
the long by Wilkins to second one, Ryzer throws back the break for the double play.

619
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Eric Wilkins fielding his position very neatly, picks off the one hopper, turns it into a double killing and the inning is over.

620
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,000
No runs, no hits, the walk and nobody left.

621
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,000
At the end of three, Texas two Cleveland up it.

622
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,000
It's a breakthrough in tire technology.

623
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:33,000
Goodyear eliminates the winter tire changeover with T.M.O.

624
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,000
The all season steel belted radial.

625
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,000
T.M.O. by Goodyear is all the tire you'll ever need all year round.

626
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:45,000
T.M.O. is available at the Farland Brothers on route 3 and 36 just south of Mount Vernon.

627
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:52,000
If you drive a small car, a mid-sized car, an import or a standard American and you want tires to fit and performance to match your car,

628
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,000
the time to try T.M.O. is now.

629
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,000
The Farland Brothers south of Mount Vernon on route 3 and 36.

630
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:07,000
It's different. It's exciting.

631
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:11,000
It's the kind of club that you wish you'd heard about sooner.

632
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Marco Polo, the super disco for people over 21 with the finest selection of current music and the sound system unconditionally guaranteed to shake your senses and your soul.

633
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:27,000
Every Wednesday is ladies night and happy hour lasts all day long.

634
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Marco Polo, 1605 West 5th Avenue in Columbus.

635
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Right across from North Star.

636
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Figueroa against Palmer.

637
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Kansas City 2-1 over to Troy to the fourth.

638
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Billingham against Gura.

639
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:51,000
And at the end of six innings of play, Cincinnati 9, Atlanta 3 with Tom Ullman against Solomon, Devine and Scope.

640
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Here is inning number four with Herb Score.

641
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Thank you, Joe. Hi again, everybody. The Indians trailing 2-0.

642
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:02,000
They will have Manning, Barnes and Thornton to see if they can solve the offerings of Steve Comert.

643
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,000
So far he has banned two.

644
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:08,000
He's given up just one base hitter single to Ted Cox leading off the third inning.

645
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:12,000
Manning his first time grounded out to Buddy Bell, but he made a good play on him.

646
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,000
Left-hand batter, pitch to him.

647
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:21,000
Curve is high, ball on.

648
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Comert, all right-handed, throws.

649
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Ball outside, ball 2-2, 2-0.

650
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Manning backing away, checking with Dave Garcia.

651
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:37,000
As we mentioned earlier, Manning played on last Monday in Tucson, did not play since that time.

652
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Right over the outside corner, suffering from strep throat infection.

653
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,000
It was a week yesterday, but the Indians came out and took an early workout.

654
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,000
They worked out at 2-30 this afternoon, took some extra batting practice.

655
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,000
2-1 pitch.

656
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,000
Line drive, Buddy Bell makes the play.

657
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Buddy Bell with a spectacular diving grab, a line shot to his right.

658
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:03,000
He reached the cause, put him around, he landed on the ground, but he hug onto the ball.

659
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:08,000
Now the Texas fans are seeing what Indian fans have seen for many years.

660
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,000
Buddy Bell takes the base hit away from Rick Manning.

661
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:20,000
Here's Bobby Barnes throwing out on a close play by the shortstop first time up.

662
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:27,000
Ball outside, ball, and a super play Buddy's made on Rick Manning.

663
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:32,000
When Buddy made that catch, Manning just stopped in the base half and stared in his face.

664
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,000
I'm going to blame him.

665
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Slam and a mad sea, pull him with a curve ball.

666
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Ball on the strike, one man out.

667
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,000
Indians trailing 2-0, we're in the fourth.

668
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Tribe will be back here tomorrow night.

669
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:48,000
And there will be Rick Waits going against Fergie Jenkins.

670
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Down too low, 7.35 game time here, 8.35 in the Eastern time zone.

671
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:02,000
2-1 pitch, slide and missed outside, 3-1.

672
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Playing Bobby around and left and deep.

673
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Three balls to strike, Andre Thornton on deck.

674
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Indians trying to get something rolling here in the fourth.

675
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:21,000
Right through the middle, 3-2.

676
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,000
Fomar winds it up.

677
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,000
Fast ball, bounce for a short, cutting over Buddy, grabs it, throws, gets him.

678
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Buddy Bell ranging to his left.

679
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Buddy putting on a pretty good show here tonight.

680
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,000
Two men down in the fourth inning.

681
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,000
And the batter's Andre Thornton.

682
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Andre with a ground ball, a short, his first time up.

683
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Andre in his young season has had one base hit in 14 at bat.

684
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:11,000
Gary Alexander on deck, inside with a slider, ball one.

685
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:15,000
Ground ball fouled at home plate, one ball and a strike.

686
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Phillies had a run in the last half of the semis inning.

687
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:22,000
Here it is now the Philadelphia Phillies five and the Pittsburgh Pirates four.

688
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Pirates are batting in the eighth.

689
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,000
Still fly 11 against Carlton as far as we know.

690
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:36,000
Ball one, strike one.

691
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Wind up, the pitch, down too low with a slider, two and one.

692
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,000
They want that ball examined.

693
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:53,000
On the fire behind home plate is John James, he looks it over.

694
00:59:53,000 --> 01:00:06,000
And he says it's okay.

695
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Wind up, two-one pitch, high and outside, three and one.

696
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Two men out, fourth inning.

697
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:20,000
Indians trying to get on the scoreboard, they trail two-nothing.

698
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:25,000
The left fielder is damp almost on the warning tramp and he's way around the left fielder.

699
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Line-by-line, left fielder line, it is serving foul.

700
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:35,000
And you can see why they had him play it over that way.

701
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Into three-quarters in the NBA, Philadelphia 85 and New Jersey 73.

702
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
Three balls, two strikes.

703
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,000
Andre Thornton steps in.

704
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,000
That's three infields on the left side of the infield.

705
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,000
Swing and a miss, make three, took something off.

706
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Well, he throws a fork ball in that, but whatever that was, it was a good pitch.

707
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:06,000
He gets his third strike out, he puts the Indians down one, two, three.

708
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,000
He's now retired six in a row.

709
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:13,000
And at the middle of inning number four here in Texas, the Texas Rangers two,

710
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:17,000
the play with the Indians nothing.

711
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,000
Natural to all the best, to reach for the brass rings.

712
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:26,000
To find the trappings, need the wrappings, it's a natural thing.

713
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:30,000
If imitation's for you, we've got something for you.

714
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Know you're gonna like it, it's the natural thing.

715
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:40,000
Come on, come on get daily, come on, come on get natural.

716
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:44,000
Come up to the natural thing.

717
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:49,000
If imitation's for you, remember daily juice products are made with natural fruit juices.

718
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Plus a bonus of vitamin C.

719
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,000
You see, daily just gives fruit a little hug.

720
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,000
And you know what a little hug does for you.

721
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,000
Taste what it does for dailies.

722
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,000
Daily's juice products, naturally.

723
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Come on, come on get daily, come on, come on get natural.

724
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,000
Come up to the natural thing.

725
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:16,000
That's the New Seville office.

726
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Eric Wilkins will face Buddy Bell after he gambles Jim Sunberg here in inning number four.

727
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,000
And listens with a hand for Buddy.

728
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:33,000
The Indians here appreciate the fine defensive work.

729
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,000
Wind up by the right-hander.

730
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,000
Fitz to Buddy is inside ball one.

731
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,000
Buddy was hit by a pitch the first time up.

732
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Wilkins surrendered two runs in the second inning, but they were both unearned.

733
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Two nothing, Rangers.

734
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:52,000
High fly ball, center field, Rick Manning cruising in.

735
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,000
He has it.

736
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,000
One gone in the fourth inning.

737
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Here's Oscar Gamble.

738
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,000
He was safe on Andre Thornton's error.

739
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:06,000
And that sort of opened the doors for the Rangers to pick up a couple of runs.

740
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,000
And so there was a man out, Buddy was hit by a pitch.

741
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,000
Gamble the first base off the glove of Thornton, put runners at first and at second,

742
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,000
and Sunberg walked to load him up.

743
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,000
A sacrifice fly put in one run.

744
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,000
The base hit drove in another.

745
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Inside ball one.

746
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,000
And it could have been a lot worse.

747
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,000
After the hit by Norman made it two to nothing,

748
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,000
Wills lined a single to center field.

749
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Rick Manning charged in, picked it up, fired to home plate, and he nailed Sunberg.

750
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Down to low with a fastball, two and O.

751
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Wilkins with a fastball, a slider, and a forkball.

752
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:44,000
Keeps the ball down very effectively, and that works well for him.

753
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,000
Two-O pitch.

754
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:51,000
Fastball, a bit outside, three and O.

755
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Jim Sunberg beyond deck batter.

756
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Eric has struck out one, he has walked a pair, and he's hit a batter.

757
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:02,000
He has given up two base hits.

758
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Three-O pitch.

759
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Rick could take inside ball four.

760
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Nothing else could go over the ball.

761
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,000
He was standing there.

762
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Now he goes to first base.

763
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Third walk issued by the Indian right-hander, and here is the catcher, Jim Sunberg.

764
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,000
He threw the base down ball his first time up and then was nailed at home plate

765
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,000
on the throw by Manning.

766
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:29,000
That's to consider Rick has not really worked out very much since last Monday.

767
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Some throw.

768
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,000
Yesterday was the first day he really worked out since last week.

769
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:45,000
Go to first, back safely.

770
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,000
Check on the runner at first.

771
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Sunberg takes the fastball low and inside, ball on.

772
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,000
Gamble walk, he's on at first.

773
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,000
On deck, Pat Putnam, left-hand batter.

774
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,000
Sunberg right-hander to throw to first and back safely.

775
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,000
Eric Wilkins in spring training picked off three runners,

776
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:17,000
and he has a very quick move to first base.

777
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Gamble, not much of a lead.

778
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,000
Down too low.

779
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Two balls, no strikes.

780
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:38,000
Frank Lucchese coaching at third, flashes the signs to Jim Sunberg.

781
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,000
Check to the runner at first, 2-0 pitch.

782
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,000
Sunberg pops it up, first base side.

783
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,000
Ripping into foul territory is Dwayne Kuyper.

784
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,000
Over on the warning path, he makes the grab.

785
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,000
Andre was there, but he backed away quickly.

786
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,000
Kuyper called them off.

787
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Two-minute down and the batter, Pat Putnam.

788
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,000
He drove a sacrifice flight to right center field his first time up.

789
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:12,000
Picked up a run battled in, not an official time at bat.

790
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:20,000
Eric Wilkins and the Indians trail 2-0 here in the fourth.

791
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Eric checks on the runner at first.

792
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:23,000
Here's his delivery.

793
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Round ball, right side, in the right field, a base hit.

794
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,000
Around second is Gamble.

795
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,000
He'll hang on.

796
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,000
Here's the throw back to second base.

797
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:36,000
Dive and safe.

798
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,000
Big turn is second by Gamble.

799
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,000
Bobby Bonds fired it in.

800
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,000
Kuyper grabbed the ball and dove for the bag.

801
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,000
Gamble diving back at the same time.

802
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:47,000
He got there first.

803
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Well, Putnam gets the base hit.

804
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,000
The Indians had him played sort of up the middle.

805
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,000
He drove the ball through the right side.

806
01:06:53,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Nelson Norman, the shortstop who had a base hit his first time up, and he drove in a run.

807
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Third hit allowed by Wilkins.

808
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:12,000
There's a strike at the knees.

809
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:18,000
Gamble at second. Putnam at first.

810
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:19,000
Slider missed, flowing away.

811
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Ball one on the strike.

812
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Nelson Norman batting at 400.

813
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,000
One ball, one strike, delivery.

814
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:36,000
Swing and a miss.

815
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Good slider.

816
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:45,000
One ball, two strikes.

817
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:46,000
Wilkins has one strike out.

818
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:52,000
He struck out Oliver in the first inning.

819
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:53,000
One-two pitch.

820
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,000
Swing and a foul back.

821
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,000
Count holds.

822
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,000
Ball one, strike two.

823
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:02,000
Indians will be in Boston over the weekend and actually Monday too.

824
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,000
They're off Friday.

825
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:08,000
They play the Red Sox Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning.

826
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,000
They play a 11 o'clock game.

827
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:13,000
That's the Patriots' day game, and that's the day they run the Boston Marathon.

828
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:18,000
Shame we're playing because Joe and I would certainly be out running in that.

829
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Inside, ball two, two and two.

830
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:21,000
You say that every year.

831
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,000
I know.

832
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,000
I'm going to keep saying that every year.

833
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:28,000
Someday we're going to get an open date and we're both going to look very bad when we don't show up.

834
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,000
We'd look worse if we showed up.

835
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:31,000
That was true.

836
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,000
Two balls, two strikes, two men out.

837
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,000
I've got to tell you, the fellows are running, and the ladies are running the Marathon.

838
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,000
It's going to be commended.

839
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,000
That is some physical task.

840
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,000
Two balls, two strikes.

841
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,000
Eric backs off.

842
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:52,000
Don't forget now, the Indians will be home next Tuesday afternoon at 12 o'clock against the same Texas Ranger Ball Club.

843
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,000
And then Wednesday at two.

844
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,000
And Wednesday they have a big behind-the-fence party open to the public.

845
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,000
Swing and a miss, strike three.

846
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Eric Lurkin gets his second strike out and he puts the Rangers down on the fourth inning.

847
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,000
No runs.

848
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,000
The Rangers had one hit.

849
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,000
No Indian errors and two men left.

850
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:10,000
We have played four.

851
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,000
The score, the Texas Rangers two, the Cleveland Indians nothing.

852
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:17,000
What's the easiest, most economical way to get the clue to the game?

853
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,000
In a van.

854
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:19,000
A Dodge van.

855
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:23,000
And they're just $46.58 today at Spitzer Dodge.

856
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:27,000
Bill Gayhart and Spitzer Dodge are celebrating 75 years in the Art Nouveau business

857
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:31,000
by giving you what may be their lowest prices ever on Dodge trucks and vans.

858
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,000
Over 150 to choose from.

859
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,000
Tough Dodge trucks, just $41.83.

860
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,000
And Dodge vans, only $46.58.

861
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Come in and see us today at Spitzer Dodge in Columbus.

862
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,000
Hello, Mother Nature here.

863
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,000
To talk about your sweet smile and how you can keep it.

864
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Mother Nature?

865
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,000
Dear, can I help you, Mr.

866
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Decay. Tooth decay.

867
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,000
Tooth decay? You've got a nerve coming.

868
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,000
What do you want?

869
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,000
A chain.

870
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,000
If those kids don't stop flossing and brushing and choosing your helpful snacks,

871
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:00,000
I'll be out of business.

872
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,000
Oh, stop.

873
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,000
What do you say, Mother Nature?

874
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:04,000
What do I say?

875
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,000
Brush them with fluoride toothpaste and eat up my super snacks.

876
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:12,000
You can have a happy smile all your life, naturally.

877
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,000
We're going now into the Indian champ for the fifth inning.

878
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,000
It'll be Alexander, Norris, and Cox.

879
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,000
They try to get something going against the Rangers in Comer.

880
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Steve Comer's retired the last six in a row.

881
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,000
He retired the first six, then gave up and hit the Cox,

882
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,000
and he's taking the next six right out.

883
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:39,000
Baltimore's batting on the last of the ninth with the Yankees leading 5-2.

884
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Jerry Alexander, first time up, popped the right field.

885
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Wind up and the pitch.

886
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,000
Swing and a miss.

887
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,000
Right-hander Steve Comer popping the fastball.

888
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Some of the upcoming events at the stadium,

889
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,000
April the 22nd will be Jacket Day.

890
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,000
The youngsters 14-under with a box reserved for the general admission ticket.

891
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:02,000
We'll receive an attractive Indians jacket with the New Long logo on it.

892
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,000
That's Sunday, April the 22nd.

893
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,000
Down to low.

894
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:12,000
And of course that April 22nd game will be played against the Chicago White Sox.

895
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:16,000
They're in all weekend, the 20th, 21st, 22nd.

896
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:20,000
First night game of the year will be Friday the 20th against the White Sox.

897
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,000
First night game of the year in Cleveland, that is.

898
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,000
One ball and a strike.

899
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,000
Swing and a miss, right-hander.

900
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,000
If Tom Watson is a favorite in the game,

901
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:37,000
he'll have to be a top choice as one of his 20-man groupers.

902
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:42,000
The food will be served until the game begins at 2-0-5.

903
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,000
One ball, three strike pitch.

904
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Inside and high.

905
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:49,000
Behind the fence luncheon, the menu will include hot dogs, hamburgers,

906
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:53,000
potato salad, cold war, relish drinks, soft drinks and coffee.

907
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,000
All you can eat great.

908
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,000
And the count is just 40 seconds.

909
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Next Wednesday, come on down and see it.

910
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:05,000
Swing and a miss, like three.

911
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:06,000
Jerry Alexander goes swinging.

912
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:11,000
That is the fourth strikeout by the right hand.

913
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:12,000
Here's Jim Norris.

914
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,000
He grounds it out to the third baseman, Buddy Bell.

915
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,000
Norris has hit in all four games played by the Indians.

916
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Bouting average currently at.353.

917
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Lyada catching the outside corner, waste-tire strike.

918
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,000
Buddy Bell is in on the grass at third.

919
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:38,000
Buddy has taken about two bases with me in these times, both off Rick Manning.

920
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,000
Fly ball to the field.

921
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:42,000
Oliver's there.

922
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:46,000
He pounds the glove and he has it.

923
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,000
Two men down in the fifth inning.

924
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,000
That's eight in a row that Comus polished off.

925
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:58,000
Here's Ted Cox, the only man to get a hit, the only man to reach base again.

926
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:05,000
Ted Cox getting a chance to play on an everyday basis and he seems delighted.

927
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:06,000
We're in the fifth.

928
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,000
The Indians are down two to nothing.

929
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:13,000
Swing and a miss on the curve ball, strike one.

930
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:17,000
The Pittsburgh Pirates are playing the Phillies and they're going to the ninth.

931
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:22,000
It is Philadelphia five and Pittsburgh four.

932
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:28,000
Inside with a curve ball, one ball and a strike.

933
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:31,000
Dwayne Kipe on deck.

934
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:37,000
Kipe with that lead donut up on the barrel of the bat using the rosin sack on his handle.

935
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:44,000
And this one low and outside, two balls and a strike.

936
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:49,000
They're in Texas, 330 to the foul line, 400 feet to center field, 370 to the power alley.

937
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,000
11 foot high fence, third turn to ballpark.

938
01:13:52,000 --> 01:14:06,000
Outside and low, three balls and a strike.

939
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:11,000
Right-hander checks the sign, goes to line up.

940
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Bike two, fastball right through the middle.

941
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:20,000
Minnesota at California tonight, Goltz against Ryan.

942
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:24,000
Minnesota beating them last night, eight to one.

943
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:28,000
Swing and a miss, bike three, put something off.

944
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:35,000
And Cox goes swinging at five strikeouts for Coleman, he's retired nine in a row.

945
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:40,000
And so in the fifth inning, no runs, no hits, no errors and none left.

946
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:44,000
That's the end of four and a half, it's Texas two, play for nothing.

947
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:50,000
And that was the easiest, most economical way to get the crew to the game, in a van, a Dodge van.

948
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:53,000
And they're just $46.58 today at Spitzer Dodge.

949
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Bill Gayhard and Spitzer Dodge are celebrating 75 years in the automobile business

950
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:02,000
by giving you what may be their lowest prices ever on Dodge trucks and vans.

951
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Over 150 to choose from, tough Dodge trucks just $41.83 and Dodge vans only $46.68.

952
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:14,000
Come in and see us today at Spitzer Dodge in Columbus.

953
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:19,000
You're sending a letter cross country, or maybe a package across town.

954
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Well if you slip then forget the right zip, you just might slow it down.

955
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:28,000
Check your address, is everything down? Make sure the zip's open, you've skipped.

956
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Package or letter going to a bar, what's your mail with the right zip?

957
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:37,000
From the motor home to the travel center, in a letter with the right zip.

958
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:41,000
Come back in and show a letter, travel center with the right zip.

959
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,000
Help the handicapped.

960
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:52,000
For the Texas Rangers, at the top of the batting order, Will Sample and Oliver will face Eric Wilkins.

961
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:56,000
Indians rookie right-hander gave up two runs in the second inning, they were both unheard.

962
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000
And that is the story of the game thus far, two to nothing Rangers.

963
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:07,000
Hitting number five, Wills is one for two in the game, takes the fast ball a strike.

964
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:14,000
Toby Harrah playing at the edge of the infield grass.

965
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:18,000
Line drive center field, that's a base hit, that may have been the fork ball.

966
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:24,000
Somebody threw a smoke bomb of some kind on the field behind Rick Manning.

967
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Will gets a base hit, that is his second, that is the fourth.

968
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:41,000
That is the fourth of Wilkins and he may get some activity in the Indian bullpen, Ron Hanson running down that way.

969
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Left fielder, Bill Sample.

970
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Here's the left fielder, Bill Sample.

971
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,000
Sample has grounded to third, he has walked.

972
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:58,000
Wills, a definite threat to Seale, leads the way at first.

973
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:13,000
Pitch is a fast ball too low.

974
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:17,000
Will last year picked off 52 stolen bases.

975
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:27,000
Tore to first, he dives back safely, in his rookie year he had 28.

976
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:33,000
Sample right-hand batter, ball one.

977
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Tore to first and he just gets back.

978
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:40,000
He almost caught him leaning the wrong way.

979
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:44,000
Gossage has come on to pitch for the Yankees in the ninth.

980
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:51,000
They were leading 5 to 2 going into that ninth inning.

981
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:55,000
Tore to first, back again with a dive.

982
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:59,000
Wills is quick, so is Eric Wilkins.

983
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:03,000
The last few throws have been close.

984
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:09,000
The other secret of being a good baserunner is to be able to get off just as far as you can and still get back.

985
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:13,000
That's what he's doing, barely getting back.

986
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:25,000
Inside, two balls, no strikes.

987
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:29,000
The old sample has checked with Frank Lucchese back in the batter's box.

988
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Two-oh pitch.

989
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,000
Inside, almost hit him.

990
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,000
Good stop by Gary Alexander.

991
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:38,000
He's tucked down, a ball stale right over the back of his head.

992
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:49,000
3-0. It might be that Eric is hurrying his pitches because of Wills being on first base and Gary Alexander going out to talk with him.

993
01:18:49,000 --> 01:19:04,000
And Al Oliver's on deck, so things will not get any better.

994
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,000
Check to the runner, pitch, outside, ball four.

995
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,000
That's what you want to do, first and second with nobody out.

996
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,000
And Al Oliver coming up.

997
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,000
That is the fourth baserunner ball prevented by Eric Wilkins.

998
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:23,000
And in the bullpen, we have Don Hood up and going.

999
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,000
And Dan Skullner is joining him.

1000
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:37,000
Skullner will also throw.

1001
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,000
Here's Al Oliver.

1002
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:41,000
And here comes Jeff Torborg.

1003
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:48,000
He's going out to have a talk with Eric Wilkins.

1004
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:52,000
Jeff's wearing a blue nylon jacket as he heads to the mound.

1005
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:59,000
67 degrees when we started, we haven't lost much. It's a rather pleasant evening here in Texas.

1006
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Check the scoreboard while we have the chance.

1007
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,000
National League, one game rained out this afternoon.

1008
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:11,000
The Cubs at St. Louis in 11 innings. It was Montreal 3, the Mets 2.

1009
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:16,000
Tonight in Atlanta, it is the Cincinnati Reds 9, the Atlanta Braves 4.

1010
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,000
The Reds are batting in the eighth.

1011
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:22,000
Pittsburgh's at Philadelphia with the Pirates batting in the ninth.

1012
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,000
And the Phillies lead them 5 to 4.

1013
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,000
Now the meeting on the mound has broken up.

1014
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,000
The Dodgers are in Houston tonight.

1015
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:35,000
At the end of 4, it's all tied up at 3.

1016
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:39,000
Later on, San Diego, San Francisco.

1017
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Catch up with the American Leagues at the moment.

1018
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Runners at first and at second.

1019
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
Nobody out. Al Oliver stands in.

1020
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,000
He is 0 for 2 in the game.

1021
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Line's eyes on the right field line.

1022
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:54,000
That's going to be an extra base hit.

1023
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:55,000
One runner's in.

1024
01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:00,000
A round third, racing and holding up is Sample.

1025
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,000
In the second base for the double goes Oliver.

1026
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:07,000
For that Sample, he came turning into third base.

1027
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,000
Well, Casey was holding him up.

1028
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,000
I think it was going to stop.

1029
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Al Oliver continues to punish Indian pitching.

1030
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:17,000
He gets a double.

1031
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:18,000
Another run battled in.

1032
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,000
It's a 3 to nothing game now.

1033
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Still nobody out. Here's Johnny Graf.

1034
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Here comes Jeff Garbois.

1035
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,000
And that will be all for Eric Wilkins.

1036
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:35,000
So the Indian rookie gets his baptism of fire here in this ballgame.

1037
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:44,000
Eric Wilkins has been charged with giving up a total of three runs.

1038
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:49,000
He has been touched for five hits.

1039
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:53,000
He walked four.

1040
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:56,000
And he's working out too. He also hit a batter.

1041
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,000
He leaves with two men on as his responsibility.

1042
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,000
Two of the three runs he has surrendered are unearned.

1043
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Don Hood is coming on and we'll be back to tell you about Don after we take this time out.

1044
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,000
Look under Don Hood making his first appearance of the season.

1045
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:12,000
He's 6'2", 180 pounds from Florence, South Carolina.

1046
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:17,000
Don last year won five and lost six in 36 games covering 155 innings.

1047
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,000
An earned run average of 4.47.

1048
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:25,000
This spring, Don Hood in the spring training warfare down in Arizona,

1049
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:30,000
with one and one in five games that included a start at 3.97 ERA,

1050
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:36,000
pitched 11 and one third innings, nine hits, five runs all earned, struck out five and walked four.

1051
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,000
And he picks up for Eric Wilkins.

1052
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Wilkins' record shows four plus innings.

1053
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:45,000
Three runs, five hits, four walks, and two strikeouts with a hit batter.

1054
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,000
And of course the two men on base is responsibility.

1055
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:53,000
Don Hood picks up the sack of rosin, places it on the mound just behind the pitching rubber,

1056
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,000
now looks around at the infield to see where they're deployed.

1057
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:00,000
And we'll be facing Johnny Grubb. Grubb has grounded to the shortstop,

1058
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:07,000
hit one back to the mound that started a double play.

1059
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:13,000
Sample at third, Oliver at second, they both have good speed.

1060
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,000
Check to the runners to pitch.

1061
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:25,000
Outside and low, ball one.

1062
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Lucasi coaching at third.

1063
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Brett Coney coaching on the first base side.

1064
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,000
Lucasi's shouting something out to Oliver at second.

1065
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:37,000
They have Verizon almost laying behind the bag at second.

1066
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,000
Slider over the outside, corner strike.

1067
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Alexander plumping a throw to third, sample dives back in.

1068
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:58,000
Len Barker has joined Dan Spilder in the Indian bullpen.

1069
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,000
Time call, ball loose on the bullpen area, robs in left field.

1070
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,000
Ron Heshey going over to get it.

1071
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:10,000
Philadelphia knocked off the Pirates tonight, 5 to 4.

1072
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:15,000
Buddy Bell on deck, one ball and it strikes the Grubb.

1073
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,000
3-0, range is late here in the fifth.

1074
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:21,000
The Indians trying to keep it from breaking it open.

1075
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:26,000
Under the second and the third, nobody out.

1076
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:33,000
The pitch, curve, breaks too low, ball two, strike one.

1077
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:40,000
Breeze blowing in from right field, not nearly as strong as it was last night.

1078
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,000
Check to the runners.

1079
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:49,000
2-1 pitch, bouncing ball at home plate foul.

1080
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:55,000
Ball two, strike two.

1081
01:24:55,000 --> 01:25:09,000
Dawn Hood gets the new baseball, rubs it up.

1082
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:15,000
Dawn takes the sign.

1083
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:20,000
2-2 pitch, fly ball behind the infield, back goes Kiper.

1084
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,000
On comes Bobby Barnes, a tag at third.

1085
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:28,000
Here's the catch by Bonds, here's the throw, the runner goes back.

1086
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:33,000
Bobby Barnes firing at home and Sample holds the third.

1087
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:41,000
One man down and the batter, Buddy Bell.

1088
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:50,000
Bonds to gamble on deck.

1089
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,000
We'll send along a space ship break as we wait for Buddy to get in the batter.

1090
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,000
Bonds will be here talking with Dawn Hood.

1091
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,000
This is the Cleveland Indians Baseball Network.

1092
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:12,000
This is a join Max Allen on the Mr. Max Show, weekday mornings, 5 till 10 a.m. right here on 3WJ, WWWJ Johnstown.

1093
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:19,000
They're going to put Buddy on and already Pat Corrales has sent John Ellis into the on deck position.

1094
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,000
It's Oscar Gamble.

1095
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:25,000
Buddy Bell will be given the intentional walk.

1096
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:30,000
The first walk allowed by Hood, fifth for Indian pitching.

1097
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,000
And we'll see John Ellis.

1098
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:37,000
John pinched it last night, flied out.

1099
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:40,000
John has only been to bat that one time.

1100
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:41,000
We'll see what Jeff Torborg does.

1101
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:48,000
He has two right-handers, Barker and Spillner in the bullpen.

1102
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,000
John Ellis.

1103
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:55,000
Jeff standing on the lower step of the dugout and here he comes.

1104
01:26:55,000 --> 01:27:01,000
He was waiting for the official announcement.

1105
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:02,000
And let's see what he wants.

1106
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,000
He wants Dan Spillner.

1107
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:06,000
That's going to be all for Dawn Hood.

1108
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:09,000
His work is brief.

1109
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:13,000
He pitches one-third of an inning.

1110
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:14,000
He walks one.

1111
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,000
Does not strike anybody out.

1112
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:17,000
Does not allow a hit.

1113
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:21,000
And Dan Spillner will be on to see if he can stop the Rangers with the bases loaded.

1114
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,000
One man out here in the fifth inning.

1115
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,000
We'll be back to tell you about Dan as we take this time out.

1116
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,000
Buck Rogers in the 25th century.

1117
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:33,000
A right man in the right space at the right time.

1118
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:38,000
For 500 years, Buck Rogers has been saving himself for this moment.

1119
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:42,000
The future of the future depends on it.

1120
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,000
Buck Rogers in the 25th century.

1121
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,000
A universal release rated PG.

1122
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:49,000
Parental guidance suggests.

1123
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:50,000
Now showing at the Westerbilt.

1124
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:51,000
Six cinemas in the Westerbilt mall.

1125
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,000
Come on down, look around, see what we've got on our lot.

1126
01:27:54,000 --> 01:28:00,000
We're ready to deal for your new will so bring some cash and we will hash over a deal that will be a steal.

1127
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:06,000
See me, Robin, at McFarland Brothers Sales and Service, two miles south of Mount Vernon on Columbus Road.

1128
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:12,000
Your complete tractor trailer sales and service center for new and used tracks and trailers and complete leasing service.

1129
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:18,000
That's McFarland Brothers International tracks and Goodyear tires to south of Mount Vernon on Route 3.

1130
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,000
Washington, D.C. 20525.

1131
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:24,000
A public service of this station at...

1132
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:33,000
Right hander Dan Spilner on here in the fifth inning for the Cleveland Indians.

1133
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,000
Spilner making his second appearance of the year.

1134
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:40,000
He went two and a third innings of shutout relief against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.

1135
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:47,000
Spilner, 6'1", 190, right field with both San Diego and the Cleveland Indians.

1136
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:52,000
Spilner to face John Ellis in the fifth with Marker continuing to work in the bullpen.

1137
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:55,000
John Ellis standing in.

1138
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:58,000
Right hand batter, slightly closed stand, deep in the batter's box.

1139
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:01,000
Spilner will work out of the set position.

1140
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,000
Runners on all the bases, the pitch.

1141
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:11,000
Fast ball is too high, ball on.

1142
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:16,000
On deck is the catcher Jim Sunberg.

1143
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,000
Rangers three, Indians nothing.

1144
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:18,000
We are in the fifth.

1145
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:22,000
The Rangers threatening with the bases loaded and one man out.

1146
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Check swing, did he go around?

1147
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Umpires first base, does he do not?

1148
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:28,000
The ball is high, 2-0.

1149
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:38,000
John, a very strong individual able to stop that bat.

1150
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:44,000
Ellis hitting for the designated hitter, Oscar Gamble.

1151
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:49,000
Foul ball sliced off to the right out of play.

1152
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:52,000
For the sake of statistical keeping numbers,

1153
01:29:52,000 --> 01:30:03,000
the appearance by Ellis goes as an appearance by a TH and also as a pinch hitter.

1154
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:09,000
Two balls and a strike, pitch, inside three and one.

1155
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:14,000
Now Spilner says I'll try a new baseball.

1156
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:26,000
Three balls and a strike, Ellis says his looks to the third base coach Frank LaCasey.

1157
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:31,000
Ellis steps back in.

1158
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:39,000
Spilner sets, three-one pitch, swing and a miss, three and two.

1159
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:50,000
First fastball by Spilner.

1160
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:57,000
Three balls, two strikes.

1161
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:08,000
High pop, back of the plate, it's going to be out of play and will go to the three-two again.

1162
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:16,000
And Spilner, in relief of Don Hood who relieved Eric Wilkins earlier this inning.

1163
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:27,000
Two of the men on base belong to Eric, runner at first, Buddy Bell, belongs to Don Hood.

1164
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:33,000
Outfield not playing Ellis to pull, they're giving him a lot of room on the left field line.

1165
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:39,000
Two pitch, by the center field, back goes Manning, that's going to be deep enough to score the run.

1166
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Manning grabs the ball, here comes Sample holding his second as Oliver and it's a four-and-a-half game.

1167
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:56,000
Johnny Ellis gets the job done, he's the sacrifice wide at center, picks up a run battled in.

1168
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:11,000
The run will be charged to Eric Wilkins and the batter now will be the catcher, Jim Sundberg.

1169
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:17,000
Sundberg has walked and he's fouled out to the second baseman down the right field line.

1170
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:21,000
Right-hand batter, slatter over the outside corner strike.

1171
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:27,000
That's going to hurt anything from Baltimore for some time. Baltimore batting in the ninth, railing five to two.

1172
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:35,000
Gossage came in in the ninth and a long time since we had a report.

1173
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:39,000
One strike pitch, swing and a miss, strike two.

1174
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:50,000
In Kansas City the Tigers have taken a three-to-two lead over the Kansas City Royals with Kansas City batting in the sixth.

1175
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:53,000
Two strikes on Jim Sundberg.

1176
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Rangers leading 4-0 here in inning number five.

1177
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:05,000
Indians have had only one hit in this game, Rangers have five.

1178
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:07,000
Down too low.

1179
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Baltimore tied the Yankees with three runs in the last half of the ninth inning and they'll go to X-Binning.

1180
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:24,000
Jim Palmer apparently still in the ballgame.

1181
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:27,000
Down too low. Two balls, two strikes.

1182
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:35,000
Two men out, two men on for the Texas Rangers.

1183
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:41,000
Dan Spilner trying to get out of this jam.

1184
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:42,000
The delivery.

1185
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,000
Down too low.

1186
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Three into a full count and the runners will be going.

1187
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:55,000
This inning started with Bump Wills getting a base hit, sample walk.

1188
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:58,000
Oliver doubled on one run.

1189
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:00,000
That was off Eric Wilkin.

1190
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:04,000
Grub fly to right off foot and a walk fell intentionally on James Spilner.

1191
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:06,000
There go the runners.

1192
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:08,000
Foul ball at home plate.

1193
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:10,000
Spilner gave up a sacrifice fly to Ellis.

1194
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:21,000
And now he's 3-2 on Sunberg, runners at first and at second.

1195
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:24,000
Last report, down the road in Houston.

1196
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:34,000
It is 3-3, the Dodgers and the Astros with the Houston Astros batting in the fifth.

1197
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:40,000
The Astros have defeated the Pirates tonight, 5-4.

1198
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:42,000
Colton over Blylevin.

1199
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Ball three, strike two.

1200
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,000
There they go.

1201
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:48,000
Ground ball, third base side, Harry charging, bluzzard.

1202
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,000
Hurry's his throw, they get him at first, the side retires.

1203
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:55,000
In the inning the Rangers pick up a couple of runs, but it could have been a lot worse.

1204
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:58,000
Two runs on two hits.

1205
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:01,000
So we know in the air as the Rangers leave a pair.

1206
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:04,000
They come through five innings here in Texas to score.

1207
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:09,000
The Texas Rangers for the Cleveland Indians, nothing.

1208
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:15,000
Nobody's quite like you, you got your own thing to do.

1209
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:22,000
You like your beer, light as a litch, refreshing like mountain air.

1210
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:25,000
You like your blue jeans, old-time.

1211
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:29,000
You like your mountains, older.

1212
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:32,000
Head for the mountains, the mountains of Bush.

1213
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:36,000
Reach out and you'll be here.

1214
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:45,000
Just reach out and you'll be here in the mountains of Bush beer.

1215
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,000
Head for the mountains, the mountains of Bush.

1216
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:52,000
Reach out and you'll be here.

1217
01:35:52,000 --> 01:36:00,000
Just reach out and you'll be here in the mountains of Bush beer.

1218
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,000
Don't just reach for your beer, head for the mountains of Bush.

1219
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:06,000
And as Bush said, it wasn't pleasant.

1220
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:15,000
Well, the Indians come to bat in inning number six.

1221
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:19,000
They have only had one hit off this tough right-hander, Steve Comer.

1222
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:22,000
That was a single by Cox in the third inning.

1223
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:27,000
And since that time, he has knocked off nine men in a row.

1224
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,000
In five innings, he's faced only one over the minimum.

1225
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:33,000
He's faced 16 batters, striking out five of them.

1226
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:40,000
Dwayne Kuyper, Tommy Verizer, and then Toby Harrah.

1227
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:43,000
Dwayne Kuyper pops up to Buddy Bell his first time.

1228
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:48,000
Philadelphia 76ers knocked off New Jersey tonight on their first playoff game.

1229
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,000
122 to 114.

1230
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:51,000
That's the best out of three, isn't it?

1231
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:54,000
Right.

1232
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:57,000
The Cleveland League all-time.

1233
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:59,000
Here's Dwayne Kuyper.

1234
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:04,000
Houston leads Atlanta at halftime, 57 to 51.

1235
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:09,000
I was reading in the paper today, Joe, the fellow who was kind of letting buy into the Houston franchise

1236
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:13,000
says that if he buys it and the deal goes through, he's firing the general manager.

1237
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,000
Right.

1238
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:18,000
Line drive, right center field, chasing over's Oliver.

1239
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:21,000
Still going. He reaches out and he grabs.

1240
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Dwayne Kuyper out in a fly ball to center.

1241
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:28,000
Here's Tommy Verizer.

1242
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:36,000
That's 10 in a row this right hand has knocked off.

1243
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:44,000
12,784 the attendance here tonight.

1244
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:47,000
Here's Tommy Verizer, right hand batter.

1245
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:49,000
Line drive, left field, back field sample.

1246
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:52,000
He is there and he has it.

1247
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:56,000
Well, if it's any consolation, he needs at least hit the ball hard this inning.

1248
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,000
Right, but he hit it hard.

1249
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:01,000
And Verizer just hit it right on the nose, but all they've had is two outs.

1250
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:02,000
Here's Tobey Harry.

1251
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:06,000
He has struck out twice against this right-hander.

1252
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:07,000
You know, baseball is a funny game.

1253
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:08,000
No question about it, Joe.

1254
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,000
All the scouting and so forth.

1255
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:14,000
Here's a young man, Steve Comer, who was not drafted.

1256
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:17,000
786 plays were drafted that year and he wasn't one of them.

1257
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,000
And here he is in the Major League.

1258
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,000
Last year he was 11-5.

1259
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:23,000
Got a note, Herb.

1260
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:27,000
In that New Jersey-Philly game there were seven technical fouls called John Williamson,

1261
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Kevin Lockery, and the New Jersey trainer were all brought out of the game.

1262
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Oh, what a surprise.

1263
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:37,000
Now that's where things are going bad when they throw the trainer out.

1264
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:40,000
Charlie Strasser, beware.

1265
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:41,000
Fastball on outside.

1266
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1267
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Maybe things got so bad he decided to get out of there.

1268
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:50,000
Could be.

1269
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,000
2-0.

1270
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:53,000
Tobey Harry waits.

1271
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:54,000
Takes it inside.

1272
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:57,000
3-0.

1273
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,000
Comer has not walked about it yet.

1274
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:02,000
He has struck out fine.

1275
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Harry with a 3-0 count, two outs in the sixth inning.

1276
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:07,000
Right through the middle.

1277
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:10,000
3-1.

1278
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,000
4-0, that's the score and the Rangers have the fourth.

1279
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:17,000
Two in the second inning, two more in the fifth.

1280
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:20,000
Ground ball foul over near the Indian dugout, goes into the Indian dugout.

1281
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:22,000
Indians on the third base side.

1282
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:23,000
Rangers on the first base side.

1283
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:29,000
Lucia Cineño just hit a three-run homer and Houston leads the Dodgers 6-3 after five.

1284
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:35,000
That was at the expense of Don Sutton.

1285
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:39,000
The Yankees have failed in the tenth, ball of one-hour batting.

1286
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:41,000
Three balls, two strikes.

1287
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:43,000
A windup to Tobey Harry.

1288
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:46,000
Check swing and hits the bat and it's fouled off.

1289
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:49,000
One bounce came into the glove of Sundberg behind home plate.

1290
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:51,000
Some fire to John James.

1291
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:58,000
We'll give home plate a little bit of a dusting.

1292
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:02,000
Three and two.

1293
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:04,000
Homer winds it up.

1294
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,000
High ball down the left field line.

1295
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:09,000
It's going to be fouling the seats out of play.

1296
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:15,000
Count remains, ball free and strike two.

1297
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:17,000
Indians have had one hit off the right hand.

1298
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:22,000
He has retired the last 11.

1299
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:30,000
He's retired 17 of the 18 minutes base so he has been more than effective.

1300
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:33,000
Manning the on-deck batter.

1301
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:36,000
The third ball is too low and the Indians get their first base on balls.

1302
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:40,000
They break the string at 11.

1303
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:41,000
There is the first.

1304
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:42,000
Here's Rick Manning.

1305
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:47,000
He has grounded out to Buddy Bell, but he made a good play going to his right for that one.

1306
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:51,000
And then he hit a line shot that looked like it was ticketed for Lisa double.

1307
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:55,000
And Buddy Bell somehow leaps and backhanded the ball.

1308
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:59,000
And here comes the manager, Pat Corrales.

1309
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:00,000
It's pretty tough.

1310
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:03,000
One guy after getting 11 in a row, you're leading 4-0.

1311
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:05,000
You manage to come out to talk to you.

1312
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:10,000
Well, Alexander was a little upset after the quick hook last night.

1313
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:14,000
Well, Corrales, I heard Corrales interviewed on the radio today and he said he really intended

1314
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:16,000
Comer to only go about five or six tonight.

1315
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:17,000
That's all he really hoped for.

1316
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,000
He might be just checking to see if he's strong enough.

1317
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:22,000
In fact, Corrales, of course, has paid his dues as they say.

1318
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,000
He's been around the Major League a long time.

1319
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:27,000
Player and coach, very fine young man.

1320
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:33,000
He's 38 years old and he knows pitching.

1321
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,000
Rick Manning stands in to pitch to him.

1322
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:36,000
It's up high about one.

1323
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:39,000
Buddy Bell in on the grass at third.

1324
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:41,000
He's going to get action on the Texas bullpen.

1325
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:50,000
Ed Farmer is warming up.

1326
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Check on them under the pitch.

1327
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,000
Swing and a miss.

1328
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:57,000
Whenever I see Ed Farmer, I picture Rod Carew stealing home in Minnesota.

1329
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:02,000
I'll never forget that as long as I live.

1330
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Rocky Colavino and I were working TV that summer.

1331
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,000
I was filming in for Harry Jones and Rocky and I sat in the booth that night.

1332
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,000
You were working radio and Rocky called that one.

1333
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:13,000
I did the same thing.

1334
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:17,000
I said he's going to steal home and everybody in the ballpark go up with Farmer.

1335
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:19,000
Pitch is foul back at a play.

1336
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:24,000
Farmer was going on it and it will be in the seat down below it.

1337
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:37,000
One ball, two strikes.

1338
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:42,000
Rick Manning, left-hand batter with a ball, two strike count.

1339
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:47,000
Colma comes to the plate up too high, two and two.

1340
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,000
The Rangers have been in command.

1341
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:52,000
They lead 4-0.

1342
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:53,000
Duman out.

1343
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:58,000
Harris at first.

1344
01:42:58,000 --> 01:42:59,000
The pitch.

1345
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:00,000
Line drive, right field.

1346
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:01,000
Coming on is Johnny Grubb.

1347
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:03,000
He spears it.

1348
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:06,000
The Indians hit the ball harder this inning than they have at any other inning.

1349
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,000
This game, three line drives and a walk.

1350
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:12,000
Plus three of the line drives all caught.

1351
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:15,000
So in the inning, no runs, no hits, no errors.

1352
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:16,000
A walk and a man left.

1353
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:18,000
The Indians have only left two in this game.

1354
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:22,000
At the middle of the sixth it is Texas four, Cleveland nothing.

1355
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:26,000
When you get your car fixed at Shell Auto Care, you get something you wouldn't expect.

1356
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:28,000
A written, limited warranty.

1357
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:34,000
It guarantees parts and labor for 90 days or 4,000 miles of normal driving, whichever comes first.

1358
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:35,000
Any problems?

1359
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,000
Bring your car and your warranty back to Shell.

1360
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:40,000
They'll do the work over or refund every penny you've paid.

1361
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:44,000
Now seriously, did you expect this?

1362
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:50,000
It's Shell, everything you never expected car repairs to be.

1363
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:52,000
Sunset in the mountains.

1364
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:56,000
The sparkling waters in each stream slowly turning to shining gold.

1365
01:43:56,000 --> 01:44:00,000
The high, craggy peaks quietly glow in the fading light.

1366
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:03,000
And the stillness falls like a soft, secret snow.

1367
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:07,000
It's time to sit back, relax, and feel good about the day.

1368
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:08,000
Sunset in the mountains.

1369
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:09,000
Don't miss it.

1370
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,000
Push.

1371
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:15,000
For the mountains of Bush Hill.

1372
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:19,000
And Heizer Bush, St. Louis, Missouri.

1373
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,000
Last half of the sixth inning, Pat Putnam.

1374
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:32,000
Nelson Norman in the top of the batting on a bump will to face Dan Filner.

1375
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:36,000
In Baltimore, Joe Mirabella has come on the pitch for the Yankees in the 10th,

1376
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,000
so Baltimore might be stirring something up.

1377
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:42,000
He relieves rich gossage.

1378
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,000
Pitch to Putnam's a strike at the knees.

1379
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:48,000
Putnam in the game is one for one with a sacrifice fly.

1380
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:52,000
And a run batted in, obviously.

1381
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:55,000
Wind up by the Indian right-hander.

1382
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,000
Slider, breaks low and inside.

1383
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:59,000
It's a ball and a strike.

1384
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Four runs, five hits.

1385
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,000
No errors for the ranges.

1386
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:06,000
No runs are hit, and one error for the Indians.

1387
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:09,000
Two balls to strike.

1388
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:18,000
Left-hand hitting Pat Putnam.

1389
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,000
Fly ball left center field.

1390
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,000
Manning cruising to his right.

1391
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:23,000
Teddy Cox is there.

1392
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:27,000
Ted calls and he has it.

1393
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:30,000
One man down in the sixth inning for the Rangers.

1394
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,000
And we'll take a look at the shortstop, Nelson Norman.

1395
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:35,000
He's single home a run in the second inning.

1396
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:40,000
And he's struck out swinging his neck time-up.

1397
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:50,000
George Doc Medich now warming up in the bullpen for the Texas Rangers.

1398
01:45:50,000 --> 01:46:00,000
Fast ball strike over the outside corner.

1399
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,000
Down she'll over the curve ball.

1400
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:05,000
One ball and a strike.

1401
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:06,000
Nelson Norman right-hanging batter.

1402
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:08,000
He has a close stance.

1403
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:11,000
Feet are fairly close together.

1404
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:13,000
Down below the knees over the plate.

1405
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:20,000
Ball two and a strike.

1406
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,000
Still no work quickly.

1407
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Ground ball back past the mound coming on his verizon as it fires over to Thornton.

1408
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:30,000
And two-minute down, 6-3 on that out.

1409
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:33,000
Two gone in the sixth and here's Bump Will.

1410
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:34,000
He's had a pretty good night.

1411
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,000
He lined out to the second baseman.

1412
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:42,000
And since that time he's had two base hits to center field.

1413
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:46,000
He has scored one run.

1414
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:51,000
Switch hit about he left-handed.

1415
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:55,000
Harrop moves in on the grass at third.

1416
01:46:55,000 --> 01:47:03,000
Inside and low ball.

1417
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:06,000
Wind up by the Indian right-hander.

1418
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:10,000
Inside and low.

1419
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:19,000
Break your opponent, call that a strike.

1420
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:21,000
This one is off the inside part of the plate.

1421
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:22,000
Two balls and a strike.

1422
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:30,000
On the bullpen, Ed Farmer, who had sat down, is up and throwing again along with Doc Medich.

1423
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:34,000
Ground ball down the right side, screaming into the seats along the right field line.

1424
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:39,000
Baltimore obviously doing something of the tenth because Gossage went into the tenth

1425
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:43,000
and Mirabella and Tedrow have both come on in the tenth.

1426
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:44,000
I would say they have something moving.

1427
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:47,000
Two-two pitch.

1428
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:51,000
Outside it's three and two.

1429
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:56,000
On deck, Bill Samples.

1430
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:57,000
Three-two delivery.

1431
01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:59,000
Bouncy ball first base side.

1432
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:02,000
Andre knocks it down, picks it up, throws the Spillner covering.

1433
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:05,000
They get bump wheels and they get the Texas Rangers in the sixth inning.

1434
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:07,000
No run.

1435
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:09,000
No hits.

1436
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:10,000
No areas.

1437
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:11,000
None left.

1438
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:13,000
We go to the seventh to score.

1439
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:16,000
The Texas Rangers four and the Cleveland Indians nothing.

1440
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:21,000
What's the easiest, most economical way to get the crew to the game? In a van.

1441
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:22,000
A Dodge van.

1442
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:25,000
And they're just $46.58 today at Spitzer Dodge.

1443
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Bill Gayhart and Spitzer Dodge are celebrating 75 years in the automobile business

1444
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:34,000
by giving you what may be their lowest prices ever on Dodge trucks and vans.

1445
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:36,000
Over $150 to choose from.

1446
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:39,000
Tough Dodge trucks, just $41.83.

1447
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:41,000
And Dodge vans, only $46.58.

1448
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:46,000
Come in and see us today at Spitzer Dodge in Columbus.

1449
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:51,000
It's different.

1450
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:53,000
It's exciting.

1451
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:57,000
It's the kind of club that you wish you'd known about sooner.

1452
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:01,000
Marco Polo, the Super Disco for people over 21.

1453
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:06,000
With the finest selection of current music and the sound system unconditionally guaranteed.

1454
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:08,000
To shake your senses and your soul.

1455
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:13,000
Every Wednesday is ladies night and happy hour lasts all day long.

1456
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:17,000
Marco Polo, 1605 West Fifth Avenue in Columbus.

1457
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:21,000
Right across from North Star.

1458
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:25,000
For the Atlanta Braves, nine to five.

1459
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:27,000
That story came on on the ninth inning.

1460
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:32,000
That young man is pitched very well for Cincinnati thus far.

1461
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:36,000
Facts picked up a save according to this wire report.

1462
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:38,000
Hume was the winner.

1463
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:50,000
Monty Bonds with the seventh inning as the Indians try to get something cranked up against Steve Comer who has given up one hit and one walk over the first six innings of play.

1464
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:53,000
First pitch, Bonds slaps at the third.

1465
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,000
Now the pick up high throw but Cutnam reaches up and grabs it.

1466
01:49:56,000 --> 01:50:00,000
Bonds retired for the third time on a ground ball.

1467
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:03,000
One away in the seventh and here comes Andre Thorton.

1468
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:15,000
Andy has bounced to the shortstop and struck out swinging in two previous trips.

1469
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:19,000
Four to nothing in favor of the Texas Rangers.

1470
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,000
And we're in the top half of the seventh inning.

1471
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:26,000
Wind up by Comer in the pitch and Thorton wraps the ball foul beyond the third base dugout.

1472
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:28,000
Strike one.

1473
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Marky Lyle now up in the bullpen along with Ed Farmer.

1474
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:45,000
Young man reached over the railing and beat the ball boy to the ball with his half swing and a miss by Andy.

1475
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:51,000
Thorton with strike two.

1476
01:50:51,000 --> 01:51:06,000
We had only 3,000 people tonight in Atlanta to see that game with the Reds.

1477
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:09,000
A pitch, Thorton swinging a miss on a bad pitch.

1478
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:12,000
Sunberg drops the ball, picks it up and tagged Andy.

1479
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,000
Two outs in the seventh inning.

1480
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:26,000
Well in the sixth it really began to look as though the Indians might be breaking through on the right-hander Comer primarily because they were at least hitting the ball hard.

1481
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:28,000
They were hitting it at people but they were hitting hard.

1482
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:36,000
But now in the seventh inning Comer has again appeared to be master of the situation and has two quick outs, nobody on.

1483
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:40,000
And Alexander with the first pitch pops it up foul.

1484
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:49,000
Sunberg and Putnam getting together, Putnam the first baseman makes the running catch and fouls round onto the warning path in front of the first base dugout and the side is reset.

1485
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:51,000
So it's making it look easy.

1486
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:57,000
Three up, three down and at the end of sixth and one half innings to play it's Texas four, Cleveland nothing.

1487
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:01,000
At Shell Auto Care being good with your hands isn't good enough.

1488
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:06,000
Their mechanics have to pass tests for brake work, tune-ups, air conditioning and front end work.

1489
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:10,000
They have to be certified by Shell, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.

1490
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:16,000
You know it's funny, a lot of people don't expect much from mechanics but they're the people who haven't been to Shell Auto Care.

1491
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:19,000
Come to Shell for answers.

1492
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:24,000
It's everything you never expected car repairs to be.

1493
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:51,000
Music

1494
01:52:51,000 --> 01:53:01,000
Dan Reiser Bush, San Luis, Missouri.

1495
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:06,000
On half of the seventh inning Sample Oliver and Grubb will test the right-hander Dan Spilner.

1496
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:10,000
We have seen Wilkins, Hood and Spilner for the Indians.

1497
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:16,000
Defensively for the Tribe, Sorted at first, Kuyper at second, Reiser at short, Toby Herod at third.

1498
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:21,000
And the left-hand manning in center, Bonsenright, Gary Alexander catching.

1499
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:28,000
Sample mounts to third of the first inning, walks to the third and walks to the store to the fifth.

1500
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:53,000
Music

1501
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:58,000
He even dropped the man, he just stepped to his right and he's got the pop ball.

1502
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:00,000
Nothing to it.

1503
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:05,000
Here's Al Oliver with a strike out of Fielder's Choice and a double down the right field line that drove in the run.

1504
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:09,000
High drive, left center field, the cock to his left makes the catch.

1505
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:13,000
Two outs to the seventh.

1506
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:16,000
Spilner has done very well since he had.

1507
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:23,000
Danny, Danny early in the spring looked like he was really popping the baseball and didn't have good velocity.

1508
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:26,000
About the last two times out during spring training he really fired.

1509
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:27,000
And he's going good here again tonight.

1510
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:32,000
Johnny Grubb, a bouncer to the shortstop, a 1-6 for the double play and a fly ball to right.

1511
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:34,000
Spilner throws, Grubb takes the strike.

1512
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:36,000
Strike one.

1513
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:43,000
Now the tandem in the Texas bullpen now, Sparky Lyle and Doc Medich.

1514
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:50,000
Strike one pitch. Grubb fouls one back over the screen into the feet below it and the count is strike two.

1515
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:53,000
On half of the seventh inning, four to nothing, Texas leads.

1516
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:58,000
Pick up two in the second and two more in the fifth.

1517
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:02,000
Wind up and the pitch. Grubb checks wing and too far, strike three.

1518
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:08,000
Oh, Spilner records his first strike out, the third by Indian pitching and the inning is over.

1519
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:11,000
One, two, three, that's eight in a row, retired by Dan Spilner.

1520
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:15,000
And at the end of seventh, it is still Texas four, Cleveland nothing.

1521
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:23,000
How do you pick a good house from the rest? How can you tell if you get what you pay for?

1522
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:27,000
When you see the house symbol, we're looking at a house with a 10-year protection plan,

1523
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:29,000
a decade of protection and peace of mind.

1524
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:33,000
So look for the house symbol. It means you're covered for a long time.

1525
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:38,000
The homeowners warranty, that's how, that's how.

1526
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:41,000
Fisher and Son incorporated the area's only Howell Builder,

1527
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:47,000
exclusively represented by McMahon Real Estate Company.

1528
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:50,000
What's the easiest, most economical way to get the crew to the game?

1529
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:56,000
In a van, a Dodge van. And they're just $46.58 today at Spitzer Dodge.

1530
01:55:56,000 --> 01:56:01,000
Bill Gayhart and Spitzer Dodge are celebrating 75 years in the automobile business

1531
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:05,000
by giving you what may be their lowest prices ever on Dodge trucks and vans.

1532
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:12,000
Over 150 to choose from. Tough Dodge trucks go $41.83 and Dodge vans only $46.58.

1533
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:17,000
Come in and see us today at Spitzer Dodge in Columbus.

1534
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:21,000
Well, Steve Comer, after going seven fine innings, is relieved.

1535
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:25,000
They're bringing on Sparky Lyle. Joe mentioned a while ago, Comer's not pitched out much recently.

1536
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:29,000
They don't want to force him, take a chance on doing some damage.

1537
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:33,000
He has only allowed one hit over the first seven innings, walked one, struck out six.

1538
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:36,000
He leaves and he can be the pitcher of record on the winning side.

1539
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:42,000
He can't lose it and on to pitch comes Albert Walters Sparky Lyle.

1540
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:48,000
Sparky, 6'1", about 195 pounds. He is now 34 years old.

1541
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:53,000
With the Yankees last year, one-nine and lost three with an earned run average of 3.47.

1542
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:56,000
He is the only relief pitcher to ever be a Cy Young Award winner.

1543
01:56:56,000 --> 01:57:00,000
He's pitching 680 games in the Major Leagues, all out of the bullpen.

1544
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:03,000
He will face the Indians here in the eighth.

1545
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:08,000
And he'll face Jim Norris for openers and feed Jim Low a ball one.

1546
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:12,000
Last year was the first year that I can recall that Lyle had trouble with the Indians.

1547
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:15,000
There's a pitch high and it's 2-0. He was 0-1 against the Tribe.

1548
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:20,000
I don't really remember at any time that he showed that mastery that he had previously.

1549
01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:22,000
He didn't pitch that much either.

1550
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:26,000
Pitch is a strike to the inside, Saunter. 2-0.

1551
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:32,000
There have been days in the past when Sparky just walked out there, flipped the glove on him, and it would be all over.

1552
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:37,000
Here's the 2-1 pitch. Chopped foul back to the base of the screen. Two balls, two strikes.

1553
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:43,000
Since they've been compiling the save statistics back in 1966, he has saved 194 games.

1554
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:47,000
That's more than any body they're on record.

1555
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:51,000
Mycomer really did a number tonight. Seven innings of one hit ball.

1556
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:57,000
Good thinking fastball, good change up, fine slider, and outstanding control. What more do you need?

1557
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:02,000
Two balls, two strikes. Wind up in the pitch. Norris wraps it in one hop to the mound.

1558
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:09,000
Grabbed by Lyle, runs toward first, flips the ball over to Putnam, and there's one away in the eighth inning.

1559
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:16,000
Now this brings up Ted Cox. Cox slapped a single to center field and struck out in two previous trips.

1560
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:21,000
That's a base hit by Ted Cox, the only hit of Texas pitching tonight.

1561
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:28,000
Medich continues to work in the full time. Wind up by Lyle on the first pitch, strike one.

1562
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:35,000
Sparky Lyle will throw that slider any time, any part of the ball game. Doesn't make it even what the count is, what the situation is.

1563
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:40,000
Strike one pitch inside, one and one.

1564
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:46,000
The ball goes wide, it doesn't break big, but it's quick and it goes down. It goes into the right-hand batter.

1565
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:50,000
Wind up by Lyle, the one-one offering to Ted Cox, chops the ball for the shortstop.

1566
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:55,000
Bell cuts in front of him, body on the run throw, and he's out.

1567
01:58:55,000 --> 01:59:01,000
Buddy Bell has put on a bit of a fielding show here tonight for the Rangers.

1568
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:09,000
He made a plan, a line drive off the bat of Manning back in the fourth inning that Manning just could not believe.

1569
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:13,000
Here's Kuiper, a pop-up to the third baseman and a fly ball to the center fielder.

1570
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:19,000
Zips for two on the night. Texas leading four to nothing. They've out hit the Indians five to one.

1571
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:25,000
Wind up, Lyle's pitch, a fastball strike at the knees, strike one.

1572
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:31,000
Putnam at first, Wilford second, Norman at short, Bell in the grass at third, Sample in left, Oliver in center, Grubbin right,

1573
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:40,000
Sunberg catching, Lyle pitching, strike one to Kuiper, check swing, and checked in time. A check for the third baseman, Jeff Brown,

1574
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:47,000
and he says he did check in time. One ball, one strike.

1575
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:54,000
The pitch, again a fastball, again low, two-and-one account.

1576
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:58,000
Tom Verizer on deck.

1577
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:05,000
Wind up, two-one pitch, Kuiper lifts the foul fly out of play to the left side. That'll be at the chairs.

1578
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:09,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1579
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:23,000
This same Texas Rangers will be in Cleveland for day ball next Tuesday and Wednesday, Tuesday the 17th at 12.05, and Wednesday the 18th at 2.05 p.m.

1580
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:33,000
The Rangers come back again in early August. That will include a Sunday doubleheader on August the 5th, and we'll be back down here for the three-night games over a weekend in mid-off.

1581
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:40,000
Wind up with a two-two pitch. Kuiper wraps the bouncer back to Wil. Gets it on the second big hot post. The first, Kuiper's gone.

1582
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:48,000
And so are the Indians. One, two, three in the eighth. At the end of seven and one-half innings of play, Texas four, Cleveland nothing.

1583
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:53,000
Hey, listen to this.

1584
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:58,000
It's new from Daly's. It's the fruit flavored drink, Little Hug.

1585
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:07,000
A little barrel of fun and flavor. Choose orange, grape, cherry, lemon, lime, or punch. Just look for the little barrel as you store.

1586
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:16,000
And hey now, save those little barrels to keep stuff in. Stuff like crayons, pencils, buttons, toys, and whatever.

1587
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:25,000
Give your loves a little hug from Daly's. And say, don't forget Daly's year after year favorite, Daly's Concentrate.

1588
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:30,000
The regular size bottle makes 26 glasses and comes in eight different flavors.

1589
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:38,000
The gallon size concentrate makes 104 glasses of delicious drink and comes in seven flavors. Costs only about three cents a glass.

1590
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:48,000
Thirsty? Quench it with Daly's Concentrate. No sugar needed.

1591
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:56,000
In the eighth inning against Dan Spillner, Bell, Ellis, and Sunberg.

1592
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:00,000
And to the both ends for the Indians, Victor Cruz starts to warm up.

1593
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:09,000
Wind up by Stoner and the pitch to Buddy Bell. Foul ball back up into the second section behind home plate. Strike one.

1594
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:12,000
Buddy tonight has been hit by a pitch. Scored the first Texas run.

1595
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:21,000
Glide to center field and was intentionally walked. Takes low. One ball, one strike.

1596
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:28,000
Buddy, one for five in this series. But he has been bordering on spectacular with his glove. One-one pitch.

1597
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:37,000
A strike. Knee high outside corner. One ball, two strikes.

1598
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:48,000
Spillner looks in and gets the sign. Here comes the one-two pitch to Buddy. Low. Two balls, two strikes.

1599
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:53,000
Spillner ranks it up. Two-two pitch to Buddy. D.E. Reich three, knee high.

1600
02:02:53,000 --> 02:03:01,000
Alexander fires that ball down to Toby Herra at third. Buddy Bell walks slowly back to the third base dugout.

1601
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:07,000
Two strikeouts for Spillner. That's nine in a row. He's falling short.

1602
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:17,000
John Ellis came on to bat for Oscar Gamble in the D.H. role. Back in the fifth inning of play list with a sacrifice fly ball to center field scoring sample.

1603
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:25,000
So Ellis comes to bat now for the second time and the first time against Spillner. Followed back to screen strike one.

1604
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:33,000
Looking ahead to the ninth, Verizon, Herra, and Manning do against Sparky Lyle.

1605
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:41,000
Wind up in Spillner's pitch. Check swing ball hits the bat. Gips right by the guys gathered at the far end of the third base dugout and up into the seat.

1606
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:51,000
Strike two. Randy Jones against the Count of Montefiusto tonight in San Francisco.

1607
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:56,000
Comes the old two pitch to Ellis. Fast ball inside. One and two.

1608
02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:03,000
During spring training, the Count was really firing the baseball.

1609
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:15,000
Spillner ready. Nod to the sign from Alexander. The one-two pitch to John Ellis is low. Two balls, two strikes.

1610
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:22,000
Victor Cruz throwing on the bullpen for the Indians. The two-two pitch to Johnny Ellis. Lips a fly ball into short right center.

1611
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:29,000
Kiper back waving the outfielders away. Makes the back pedaling catch to us.

1612
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:40,000
Jim Sunberg walked and was thrown out on the plate. In the second inning, when a single to center field by Bump Wills set up Sunberg scamper to the plate from second.

1613
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:49,000
And Manning threw him out. Sunberg then bowled out to Kiper in the fourth inning and bounced to the third baseman in the fifth.

1614
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:55,000
Comes to bat here with two outs and nobody on in the home half of the eighth. Texas leading four to nothing. Wind up on the pitch.

1615
02:04:55,000 --> 02:05:01,000
Low ball one. Rangers about hit the Indians tonight five to one.

1616
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:12,000
The only base hit, Ted Cox with a single in the third inning. One-oh pitch. D. E. Reich fastball knee high.

1617
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:21,000
Last of the eight. Medich has finished his work in the Texas bullpen. One-one pitch. Sunberg takes low. Two and one.

1618
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:27,000
Pat Putnam on deck. Tomorrow night, Herb and I will be right back here with you. Should be a dandy.

1619
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:40,000
Wake and Jenkins. Eight thirty-five for the first pitch in Cleveland. Two-one pitch here and Sunberg takes outside. Three and one.

1620
02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:46,000
Home half of the eighth. Wind up with the next pitch. Sunberg pops it up.

1621
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:53,000
Back goes Hera. Over comes Verizon. The shortstop at the foul line behind third base makes the catch in fairground.

1622
02:05:53,000 --> 02:06:01,000
Sunberg pops to the shortstop to retire the side. Three up, three down. And we're going to the ninth at Arlington.

1623
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:05,000
The score, Texas four, Cleveland nothing.

1624
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:16,000
I'm going to scout the America Cup under his fastball. You know there is a four-wheel drive vehicle with the brisk handling of a subcompact car.

1625
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:22,000
Come on in to McFarland Brothers just south of Mount Vernon on route three and thirty-six and test drive Scout Two.

1626
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:27,000
Highly maneuverable four-wheel drive. It's got the turning circle of a subcompact car.

1627
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:36,000
Yet inside Scout Two there's eighty-two cubic feet for cargo. Test drive Scout Two now at McFarland Brothers.

1628
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:39,000
Aware. Thirty seconds on depression.

1629
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:40,000
I wonder if I'm depressed.

1630
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:47,000
Chronically depressed people show many secondary symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, and hyper irritability.

1631
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:52,000
Depressed people find it hard to hold a job, eat properly, or laugh.

1632
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:53,000
I guess I'm depressed.

1633
02:06:53,000 --> 02:07:01,000

1635
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:16,000
We have a change for the Texas Rangers at first base. Mike Jorgensen comes on to play at first base.

1636
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:23,000
Baltimore came up with a run in the tenth and beat the Yankees six to five. Stanhouse over Gotthage.

1637
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:28,000
Stanhouse came on in the tenth inning of play.

1638
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:34,000
Rick Dempsey has the game one car behind that one.

1639
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:38,000
Getting his former teammates.

1640
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:46,000
Well here's the ninth. Mariser 0 for 2 with a fly ball to center and a line drive to left takes the first pitch for a strike from Sparky Lyle, strike one.

1641
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:53,000
Fine job of work by the Indian right-handed Dan Spillner. He worked three and two-thirds innings.

1642
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:58,000
He retired. Everybody's he faced.

1643
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:00,000
Marked off 11 men in a row.

1644
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:05,000
Two strikes to count.

1645
02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:18,000
And then batter. Wind up by Lyle. Here's the 0-2 pitch. Check swing. Ball foul over to the Bat Boy.

1646
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:26,000
Lyle goes up behind the mound.

1647
02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:42,000
Turns his attention to home plate. Wines up and throws and Mariser chops another foul over to the third base dugout. The count remains at 0-2.

1648
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:50,000
Wind up by Sparky Lyle. Now the pitch. Mariser bangs the ball back to Nelson Norman who picks it up and throws him out.

1649
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:59,000
Nelson Norman may be a fine young ball player but it seems to me he'd take a long time getting rid of the baseball. He's got a lot of close plays at first base where you wouldn't normally think they should be so close.

1650
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:05,000
Right. Toby Herra struck out twice and lost once.

1651
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:12,000
He walked in the sixth and ended a spring of 11 in a row retired by Steve Comer the starter.

1652
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:22,000
To say that Steve Comer was impressive is putting him mildly. A one hitter over seven innings. First pitch is a strike to Toby Herra. Strike one.

1653
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:27,000
Seven innings. Comer faced only 23 batters giving up one hit and one walk.

1654
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:50,000
Wind up. Strike one pitch. Herra pops it foul. That one should make the seat behind the first base dugout and it does with Jorgensen and Sundberg coming over.

1655
02:09:50,000 --> 02:10:03,000
We're in the ninth. The Indians very rapidly running out of time. Trailing. Fort O'Nuffington.

1656
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:11,000
Toby Herra ready. Lightly closed right hand stance. Lyle wheels and deals and Herra chops the ball foul over in front of the third base dugout.

1657
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:21,000
That boy over there getting a lot of business. End of three. Atlanta has battled back to take an 89-85 lead at Houston in the NBA.

1658
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:30,000
Breaking ball high. One ball, two strikes.

1659
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:35,000
And the one-two pitch. Herra fouls another one out of play to the right.

1660
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:47,000
Down in the Astrodome tonight, Houston leads Los Angeles 6-3 batting in the eighth.

1661
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Wind up on the pitch and Toby Herra wraps one down the third base line to Buddy Bell. The long throw in time.

1662
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:59,000
There are two outs in the ninth inning of play.

1663
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:07,000
And this will bring up Rick Manning. Manning has bounced a third and been robbed of a hit on a great diving grab by Buddy Bell.

1664
02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:19,000
And then a line to the right fielder of the sixth inning of play.

1665
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:31,000
Left-hander Sparky Lyle against the left-hand batting. Rick Manning, first pitch. Rick takes the low ball one.

1666
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:37,000
Next delivery and Manning takes a strike at the knees. One ball, one strike.

1667
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:40,000
Two outs and nobody on in the ninth.

1668
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:52,000
A one-one pitch. Manning chops the ball foul into the first base dugout. One ball, two strikes.

1669
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:56,000
Lyle waiting now for another baseball on our tenth inning show.

1670
02:11:56,000 --> 02:12:03,000
Coming up, her score will be chatting to a man in the know, Dick Butler, the supervisor of umpires.

1671
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:08,000
Find out something about the umpiring situation, I suppose.

1672
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:12,000
Sparky Lyle with a one-two count.

1673
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:24,000
A pitch to Manning. Shoots one foul into the seats on the left and it's still one ball, two strikes.

1674
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:28,000
This is the ninth at Arlington.

1675
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:33,000
Wind up by Sparky Lyle and a one-two pitch to Manning. Swinging a foul back on the screen.

1676
02:12:33,000 --> 02:12:35,000
Still a ball and two strikes.

1677
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:38,000
Manning playing in his first game of the year.

1678
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:42,000
Another throat infection has been in the first four outings.

1679
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:55,000
Tonight he has gone 0 for 3 but he's hit the ball hard and he's also made one outstanding throw from the outfield.

1680
02:12:55,000 --> 02:13:03,000
Here's the wind up and the one-two pitch. Manning takes high. Two balls, two strikes.

1681
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:11,000
And the two-two offering by Lyle to Manning. Chopped down the first baseline. Lyle quickly picks up the ball.

1682
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:20,000
One-two-three on the ninth. The final score. The Texas Rangers 4 and for the second straight night the Indians nothing.

1683
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:24,000
And we'll be back to wrap it up after this time out.

1684
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:30,000
What's the easiest, most economical way to get the crew to the game? In a van. A Dodge van.

1685
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:33,000
And they're just $46.58 today at Spitzer Dodge.

1686
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:42,000
Bill Gayhart and Spitzer Dodge are celebrating 75 years in the automobile business by giving you what may be their lowest prices ever on Dodge trucks and vans.

1687
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:49,000
Over $150 to choose from. Tough Dodge trucks, just $41.83. And Dodge vans, only $46.58.

1688
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:53,000
Come in and see us today at Spitzer Dodge in Columbus.

1689
02:13:53,000 --> 02:14:05,000
You've heard the old saying, prevention is the best medicine. We'll solve some of the problems your car may have before they happen with a bumper-to-bumper auto inspection from Murrell's Union 76 on the square in Johnstown.

1690
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:10,000
Murrell's Union 76 will check the brakes, belts, exhausts, and everything around and in between your car.

1691
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:15,000
And of course you'll receive only the best guaranteed service on any work your car may need.

1692
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:20,000
In the long run you'll save money by having a periodic bumper-to-bumper inspection at Murrell's Union 76.

1693
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:27,000
Master charge and visa are honored. That's at Murrell's Union 76, open Monday through Saturday, 7 to 9, Sundays, 9 till 7.

1694
02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:39,000
For tonight's ball game and the Texas Rangers wipe out the Indians, the Ranger pitching staff has now put together 23 consecutive scoreless innings.

1695
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:44,000
And the Indians have been unable to score in the last 21 innings.

1696
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:52,000
Tomorrow night, hopefully those statistics can be altered. I'll tell you more about that a little bit later.

1697
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:59,000
Here's the way it went tonight. For the Texas Rangers, four runs, five hits, no errors, they left six.

1698
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:08,000
For the Cleveland Indians, no runs, just one base hit. A Tedcock single in the third inning, the Tribe stranded six.

1699
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:14,000
Starter and loser for the Cleveland Indians in his major league debut, Eric Wilkins, 0-1.

1700
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:18,000
Of the four runs, Wilkins surrendered, two of them unearned.

1701
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:24,000
And the winning pitcher, Steve Comer, who pitched the one-hit ball over the first seven innings.

1702
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:33,000
Marky Lowe came on to finish it up. He will not receive credit for a save in as much as he went only the two innings.

1703
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:39,000
But he did put together a fine performance in relief, a typical Marky Lowe show.

1704
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:46,000
So the Rangers have now won three in a row at the outset of the season, and the Indians have gone to one and four.

1705
02:15:46,000 --> 02:16:03,000
I'll tell you how the runs scored right after we take this time out.
