00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
The Detroit Tigers faced the Texas Rangers at Arlington Stadium for a Tuesday night game on April 11, 1978.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Detroit had some success in the early 1970s under manager Billy Martin.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
But following his departure after the 1973 season, the Tigers hired Ralph Hauk.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Unfortunately, that only allowed the team to finish four consecutive seasons under 500.

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
The Tigers finally decided to tap into their farm system.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
In 1978 marked the rookie seasons of Lou Whitaker, Ellen Trammell, Lance Parrish, and Jack Morris.

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Texas was coming off a successful 94-68 record in 1977, finishing in second place behind the 102-win Kansas City Royals.

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Texas, however, went through four managers in 1977, finally deciding on Billy Hunter to lead the team for the 1978 season.

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
This audio recording is from the Detroit Radio broadcast featuring announcers Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey.

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Greetings everybody, the Tigers in Texas tonight. Paul Carey is here. My name is Ernie Harwell.

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
It's the first of a two-game set in Arlington, Texas between the Tigers and the Rangers.

13
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Each team is starting today in a tie in its respective division.

14
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Dave Rosemond, the young man from Michigan, will test his arm tonight.

15
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
He won 15 and lost seven last year, and his pitching rival will be right-hander Doc Medich,

16
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
who had a combined 12 and 7 record last year with Oakland, Seattle, and the New York Mets,

17
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
and then was signed as a free agent by the Rangers back in last November.

18
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,000
The weather seems to be excellent. We've got a little bit of a breeze that is blowing in from the outfield toward home plate.

19
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
And we'll be back in one minute with the starting lineup.

20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Plymouth announces a breakthrough in American automobiles, new Plymouth Horizon,

21
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,000
the car you can drive in comfort and confidence on any kind of road.

22
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Horizon can give you superb traction and stability because it's the first American-made car of its size with front-wheel drive.

23
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Horizon is loaded with standard features like rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes,

24
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
AM radio, white wall radio tires, and front bucket seats.

25
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
And Horizon has improved mileage figures on cars produced since 1976.

26
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:32,000
The EPA estimated a manual transmission Horizon without optional air conditioning and power steering by 41 miles per gallon-hour in 27 cities.

27
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Your mileage may differ, yet Horizon is base price to just $3,706, excluding taxes and destination charges.

28
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Anytime you want to go anywhere, Horizon can handle it.

29
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Now at your great Detroit Chrysler Plymouth dealer.

30
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Well, the pitch is warming up in the bullfinch right now. Paul Carey's all warmed up.

31
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
He's had two dogs in the woods, and he's ready to go.

32
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,000
All right, Ernie, thank you very much. I won't tell anybody about that Spanish food you had earlier today.

33
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Good evening from Arlington Stadium here in Arlington, Texas, the Metro Texas area, Fort Worth and Dallas.

34
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Well, we've had some renovation take place since Ernie and I last visited with the Tigers at mid-year a season ago.

35
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:34,000
They have added some upper deck here behind the home plate area, adding to the capacity some 5,000-foot seats.

36
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And they have built some special private boxes as well beyond the press box area.

37
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Well, the Tigers are beginning the first road trip of the season, two games here in Texas and then three in Toronto

38
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,000
before coming back home next Monday for a two-game set with the Chicago White Sox.

39
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Both these ball clubs have taken two out of three thus far, winning their season opening series.

40
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:06,000
The Tigers are of course taking two of three from Toronto, and the Rangers played the Yankees free game starting on Saturday

41
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
and capped it off last night with a victory five to two.

42
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,000
The Tigers flew down last night after beating Cincinnati five to three in a stand-lot benefit game.

43
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:24,000
They arrived about 2.30 Detroit time, 1.30 down here in Texas to get set for this ball game tonight.

44
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Young Dave Roseman, who won 15 times last year as the rookie pitcher of the year in the American League,

45
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:40,000
gets his first outing of the season against a very tough Texas Ranger lineup that is certainly much improved over a year ago.

46
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
One of the best set lineups in the business.

47
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
The depth might be a bit of a problem, but Billy Hunter has experience on the bench at least.

48
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Going against the Tigers tonight, one of the two new acquisitions among the starting pitchers for the Rangers,

49
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:03,000
George Doc Medich, who went into the free agent market last November and wound up signing a contract

50
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
of a million dollars worth four years with the Texas Rangers.

51
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
The umpires are making their way to home plate right now, and they'll be meeting with the managers that swap the starting lineups,

52
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
and let's pause right here for station identification.

53
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
This is the Detroit Tiger baseball network.

54
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
At 8.30, you're listening to Tiger baseball on WJR Detroit.

55
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:37,000
And in Atlanta in the first period, Detroit Red Wings three, the Flames no score on power play goals by Dale McCourt and two by Ned Nedomansky.

56
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Now the starting lineup for the Detroit Tigers against the right-hander Doc Medich, leading off playing in center field, will be Ron LaFleur.

57
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Batting second, they target third baseman Phil Mankowski.

58
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Hitting third, the Tigers designated batter Rusty Staub.

59
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Batting fourth, first baseman Jason Thompson.

60
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Hitting fifth, in left field, will be Steve Kent.

61
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Batting sixth, the right fielder Tim Corcoran.

62
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Hitting seventh, doing the catching, Milk May.

63
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Batting eighth, the second base, Lou Whitaker.

64
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Batting ninth, shortstop Alan Trammell.

65
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:30,000
The Tiger lineup has LaFleur leading off in center, followed by Mankowski at third, Staub the DH, Thompson at first, Kemp in left, Corcoran in right, May behind the plate, Whitaker at second, and Trammell at short.

66
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:37,000
For the Rangers against Rosie tonight, leading off playing at first base, will be Mike Hargrove.

67
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Batting second, the veteran shortstop Bert Campaneran.

68
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Hitting third, in left field, Al Oliver.

69
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Batting clean up, the newly acquired designated batter for the Rangers, Richie Zisk.

70
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Hitting fifth, at third base, will be Toby Herra.

71
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Batting sixth, in the right field, Claddell Washington.

72
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Batting seventh, playing center field, Juan Beníquez.

73
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Batting eighth, the second baseman, Bump Wills.

74
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Batting ninth, catcher Jim Sundberg.

75
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:29,000
The Ranger lineup again has Hargrove leading off at first base, followed by Campaneras at short, Oliver in left, Zisk the DH, Herra at third, Washington in right, Beníquez in center, Wills at second, and Sundberg catching.

76
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:42,000
The meeting at home plate is an extra long one here. What were the first visits of the Tigers to Arlington Stadium for the spring, and Ralph out going thoroughly over the ground riddles with the umpiring crew.

77
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Behind the plate, it will be the second year umpire, Durwood Merrill.

78
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Out at first base, the crew chief, Marty Springstead.

79
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
At second, Larry Barnett.

80
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000
And at third, Jim Evans.

81
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:07,000
They have some good crowds down here at Arlington Stadium over the first three games with the Yankees series, as might be expected at the beginning of the season and with the Yankees in town.

82
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,000
They are above last year's pace at this time.

83
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Crowd tonight is going to be a little more difficult for any of us to estimate it here because of the addition of the upper deck.

84
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
It's over our head, and we aren't able to see how many people are there.

85
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:33,000
But there are a lot of MPC Tigers, and I think they threw a little over 13,000 in the ground game last night, and I would say it would be in the area of maybe 10,000 to 12,000 here tonight.

86
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:41,000
The Rangers have made their way out to their defensive positions on the mound.

87
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And a special cheer has gone up in left field for Al Oliver, who has fast become a favorite here in Arlington, having played only three games, but a Brazil out there has a lot of fans in the league series.

88
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Now our national anthem.

89
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:11,000
The Rangers are going to be a little more difficult for any of us to estimate it here because of the upper deck.

90
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Crowd tonight is going to be a little more difficult for any of us to estimate it here because of the upper deck.

91
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:41,000
The Rangers are going to be a little more difficult for any of us to estimate it here because of the upper deck.

92
00:09:41,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Crowd tonight is going to be a little more difficult for any of us to estimate it here because of the upper deck.

93
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Now while Doc Medich makes his final warm-up slaps, we'll pause for these messages.

94
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
No charge checking.

95
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Other banks make it tougher.

96
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
City National makes it easier.

97
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Now while other banks are increasing the minimum savings balance you need for no charge checking, CNB lowers it with combo checking.

98
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:50,000
That's right, some banks are raising the minimum savings requirement to a whopping $500, but CNB lowers it to $200.

99
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:58,000
A $200 minimum balance in savings for a $200 minimum balance in your checking account that you check without charge.

100
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000
$200 in savings or $200 in checking, and you write all the checks you want without charge.

101
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
All your checks without charge.

102
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Other banks make no charge checking tougher.

103
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Combo checking makes it easier.

104
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,000
This is Jim Garrett.

105
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Detroit's buildings and safety engineers have answers to your energy saving questions.

106
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Call 224-3181 for information.

107
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,000
This is a big night certainly for both of our clubs for the two young pitchers.

108
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
The youngest, Dave Rosema, making his first outing of the season.

109
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Dave jumped a step behind the other Tigers starters because of a little spate of stiff shoulder down in the spring training early.

110
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,000
But Dave has turned in six innings worth in his last two outings in Exhibition Flyheave.

111
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Last appeared, you will recall, at Columbus, Ohio last Tuesday when the Tigers were headed south to open the season in Detroit.

112
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Dave making his first outing of the season here tonight.

113
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
The young man on the mound making sure everything is ready.

114
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:19,000
He was doing a lot of groundwork out there on the landing area of the mound is Doc Medich.

115
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:28,000
A man who everybody felt would not at this point in time in 1978 be playing baseball, but he'd be occupied as a doctor.

116
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
He has his degree.

117
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:41,000
He's a graduate of the medical school at the University of Pittsburgh, but Doc is continuing on in baseball thanks to the four year million dollar contract property him by the Rangers.

118
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
And he wants three agents to come from the bubble of last year.

119
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
He's ready to go and at the plate is round the court.

120
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Here's Tony Harwell.

121
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Thanks Paul.

122
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
We're set to go.

123
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
The right hand to Medich in the motion.

124
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And LaFoint, a bounding ball to second.

125
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Wills has it, the flip to first.

126
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
And he is out at first base.

127
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
We had to wait.

128
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
It was a collision.

129
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
And the question was did Hargo stay on the bag?

130
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
And the umpire down there, Marty Trink said he did.

131
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
So it is one away.

132
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,000
A fourth throw by Wills.

133
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,000
And the long play pass to the face, putting Hargo back and into the path of the oncoming LaFour.

134
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000
But LaFour is out, run up and run down.

135
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Brown went up there hitting 308.

136
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:31,000
You still meant Kelsey batting 3-3-3 against the right hand of Medich.

137
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Doctor Dibbous, strike call.

138
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Medich is now 30 years old.

139
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
He got his start with the Yankees back in 72.

140
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
And went to Pittsburgh, then the Mets.

141
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Oakland and Seattle all last year.

142
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000
There is a ball low to the left hand batting Phil Mankowski.

143
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Just underway in Texas, an old score.

144
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
That's the style we'll go back next.

145
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Medich checking his time with his fine young catcher, Thunberg.

146
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
There is a count on the foul, back of the plate.

147
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Locking with a hunt of the Texas on it for what was before the game I have to know.

148
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
What kind of a spring?

149
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Medich had, he said, very bad.

150
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
He said, I hope he pitches a lot better than he did this spring.

151
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
It's the motion of the post.

152
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Long arm line, grand left fielder.

153
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
The being field is fueled by Oliver on one chip.

154
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
And rifle back into the middle of the diamond.

155
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Paul George, a man of honor, but already has won a lot of friends out there in left field.

156
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:38,000
In fact, they've got a sign up out there now hanging over one of the barriers that says, Al Pound.

157
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Here's Rusty Starb at the plate with a man on and a man out.

158
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
I thought they'd have Oliver's followers.

159
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000
That's even better.

160
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Rusty batting 385, strike call, fast call over.

161
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:07,000
How about that?

162
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000
So the first and back in time Mankowski.

163
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Medich, the big right-handed, sets the deal.

164
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Here's a ball outside the fast ball wide to Rusty.

165
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
One and one the count on him.

166
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Starb has five for 13.

167
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Now the stuff again.

168
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,000
And he delivers.

169
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Rusty takes it wide again.

170
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Same spot as that last one.

171
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Medich, basically a fast 12-50.

172
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
He's got a curve in his flier.

173
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Sundberg was telling us he also has a pretty good change-up.

174
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:55,000
But he has never really reached the potential they expected of him.

175
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:02,000
19 game winner, one year with the Yanks, but he has not been up to that in the last several seasons.

176
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Here's the stretch and the pitch.

177
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Swung on a bounding ball up the middle, Wills dug it,

178
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000
slipped it over to Schaffener, brought it first, double play.

179
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:23,000
A beautiful double play to Rob Starb over here and then turned it into the inning-ending play.

180
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000
No runs drawn, one hit, no errors, and nobody left.

181
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Here's the half-inning Tigers having Texas coming to bat.

182
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Little Caesar pizza, tastiest in town.

183
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
A winner anyway slightly, all the way around.

184
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
The carry of the good and hot, late for nighttime snacks.

185
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000
I sat down at Little Caesar's, just ordered and made out.

186
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Pizza lovers, right now you can get a large round pizza from Little Caesar's with anything you want on it for the price of an identical small pizza.

187
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:05,000
That's right, a large round pizza with all the trimmings for the price of an identical small.

188
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Just bring in the special coupon you'll find in your local newspaper or TV book and they'll do the rest.

189
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Mouth-watering goodness at a special low price.

190
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
No wonder pizza lovers everywhere love Little Caesar's pizza.

191
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
A winner anyway you slice it.

192
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,000
There's a sandwich for you, it's a winner-competitive.

193
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Little Caesar, it's a little favorite pizza, a great piece of cheese for you.

194
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Now the Texans coming to bat, they'll be facing Dave Rosmer, the 21-year-old right-hander from Grand Rapids.

195
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Rosmer, the most effective Tiger pitcher last year, won 15 and lost 7.

196
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
He was the Tiger Rookie of the Year, as voted by the Detroit Sports Broadcasters.

197
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Now for the American League Rookie Pitcher of the Year and a member of the top American League All-Star team, Rookie All-Star team.

198
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:18,000
He'll be facing Mike Hargrove, the first baseman.

199
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Very fine leadoff man for Texas, batting an even 300 right now, 3 for 10.

200
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,000
He walks a good deal, he's very selective in his pitches.

201
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Mankowski wadded the bag on Mike.

202
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Steps out, goes through that routine with the glove and the cap, et cetera.

203
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Now weights and the pitch on the way, taken for ball, oh.

204
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
May is doing the catching for the Tigers.

205
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Mankowski at third, Chameleon short, Whitaker at second, Thompson at first, Kemp and left.

206
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Center fielder LaFleur, the right fielder Corcoran.

207
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,000
No score, first inning in Arlington.

208
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Here's a strike, it's got the outside corner.

209
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Tomorrow night it'll be Mark Svidrich against John Metlock.

210
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Final game of the two-game set, then the Tigers move on to Toronto to help the Blue Jays open their season on Friday.

211
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Bonding brought it slowly toward first, Thompson's left it, touch it, the road, McCovering and they get it.

212
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000
The first baseman to the pitcher, one up and one down.

213
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Now here's one of the veterans on this Texas Ranger team, Bert Kaepernick.

214
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Kaepernick has lost his stuff, it's all, before the time, but he can still go get him.

215
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,000
And he's still a dangerous man on the bases.

216
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Thirty-six year old right-hand batting infielder, Buntzabald, it is in front of the plate,

217
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:08,000
picked up by May, gunned over the first, but now ruled a foul by the plate umpire Merrill.

218
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Al Oliver waiting at the on-back circle.

219
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:23,000
The Tigers took the seasonal series from the Tigers last year, 8-2.

220
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Tigers won only one game here and only one at Tigers Stadium.

221
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Buntzabald, Allen, and Kaepernick, one-and-one they count on him.

222
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
This is Kaepernick's 14th year in the American League.

223
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,000
And Rosmer, winds and piquies, wing and a miss.

224
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Gets that one to the mid of May.

225
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Breeze is coming in from the outfield, just about straight away set it toward home plate tonight.

226
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
It's a very pleasant evening here in Texas.

227
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
We hope the weather is good wherever you might be tuned in.

228
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Here it comes, he takes a wide curve, two-two to count on Kaepernick.

229
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:15,000
30 down each line in this part, 400 straight away set it, 370 in the power alleys.

230
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Wing and a miss, breaking ball got him, and Kaepernick is out on strike.

231
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000
That's two down, nobody on.

232
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Here's Al Oliver.

233
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Walmer Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder.

234
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
He has four hits and twelve chips, that's the most hits on this game.

235
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000
No home runs and no RBI's, three singles and a double.

236
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Left hand batting Oliver at the plate.

237
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Where's the number zero?

238
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,000
There's a strike call, Rosmer curved him.

239
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Oliver came here and made a big, blind-loving deal.

240
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Wing and a miss, Rosie changed up, and Oliver got out in front of that one.

241
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Last year he batted 308 for the Pirates.

242
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Had 19 home runs and drove home 82.

243
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Left hand batter standing deep, feet close together, swings, bounding ball to second.

244
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Riddicka backs up, Bobbelsitt picks it up, well to Thompson is wide, and he is out.

245
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Thompson held his foot on the line, there'll be a little discussion about that one, but it is out number three.

246
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
They go down one, two, three in the first base.

247
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Riddicka here for one, the Rage is nothing, the Tiger is nothing.

248
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000
You're trying to get on base in the LeBats baseball trivia game, and here's the pitch.

249
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Who is the oldest man to win a batting championship?

250
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Think it over and pour yourself a cool, refreshing LeBats beer.

251
00:22:50,000 --> 00:23:00,000
The answer, the all-time great Doug Williams.

252
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Williams at age 39 hit 388 to capture the American League title for the Boston Red Sox,

253
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:13,000
and at 40 he also was batting king as he led the league with a free 28 mark in 1951.

254
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Boat baseball calls for great beer, LeBats. Call for LeBats, brewed in Canada since 1828,

255
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000
distributed by LeBats and Coors, Inc., Buffalo, New York.

256
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
For beer at its finest, get your hands on LeBats.

257
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:34,000
It's Canada's number one beer, as fresh and crisp as where it comes from.

258
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Radio 76 salutes Detroit Pistons captain Bob Lemire,

259
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:52,000
who recently awarded the 1978 Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award for his outstanding humanitarian achievements in our community.

260
00:23:52,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Doc Medich, the right-hander, he really is a doctor, he's a resident in general surgery

261
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,320
at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, following in the footsteps of the hero of the

262
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:10,000
Hillybush Perfect.

263
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,000
And that would be Dr. Bobby Brown, who used to do his playing with the New York Yankees.

264
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
It was Mr. Corbett's boyhood hero.

265
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Here's Thompson coming to the bat now to try to get it going with the Tigers.

266
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Against Doc Medich.

267
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Jansen hitting 286, that's 4 for 14.

268
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Here's the wind up on the pitch and he takes the strike call.

269
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Roof top Thompson, but they don't have any roof tops in their territory.

270
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
This is all about following back to get it on the roof.

271
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
I don't think they have one up here, up this way either, do they?

272
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
There's a ball low, just stands and no roof anywhere.

273
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,000
We call them big sky.

274
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
One and one, the count on Jansen.

275
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000
No score, second inning.

276
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Swing and a high fly ball, short net setter.

277
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Oliver coming in, Kapaner is going back.

278
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Oliver has it.

279
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Well, everybody could get under that when it was so high.

280
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Now Medich will pitch to Steve Kemp, who's hitting 444.

281
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000
There have been a lot of medical doctors who've played professional baseball.

282
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Hubb Pruitt was one pitch to the old Brownies back in the 20s,

283
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,000
and he was, as you remember, a jinx to Babe Ruth.

284
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:41,000
In 1922 he struck out Ruth 22 times in that one season.

285
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Here's Kemp at the plate now.

286
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
No score, we're in the second inning in Texas.

287
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
It is a strike call.

288
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Medich got his slow breaking ball over.

289
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Ball outside.

290
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000
One and one, the count.

291
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
The Yankees at one time had a battery of doctors back in the early 1900s.

292
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Mike Powers was the catcher.

293
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Jim Newton was the pitcher.

294
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Both doctors. Here's the ball high.

295
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Two and one.

296
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
And there was Doc Minkle with the Tigers.

297
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
And Hillsdale.

298
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Here's a strike on the outside corner.

299
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Here's a windup by Medich and a pitch on the way.

300
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Here's a strike.

301
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Now Kemp looks at the breaking ball and is called out on strike.

302
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000
That's the first strike out by Medich.

303
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Jim Corkland, Corky will be the batter.

304
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,000
He is the 0 for 3 for the young season.

305
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:04,000
He's walked three times, but he'll still have a hit.

306
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:10,000
That feels straight up on him.

307
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Tigers have had one hit so far, single by Mankowski in the opening inning.

308
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000
He was a race in a double play.

309
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,000
There's a ball outside.

310
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,000
It's a beautiful play by Wills, one of the outstanding defensive plays we've seen so far in the young season.

311
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Deep at second, took a hit away from Staub, flipped to Kampenaris.

312
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
They turned it into two.

313
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Korky looks there's a charge going in.

314
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000
In field back except for the third strike of Toby Hara.

315
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Now the 2-0 delivery.

316
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
He takes strike on the outside corner.

317
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,000
That's him, the fastball.

318
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Still waiting on deck.

319
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
The Tigers trying to get it going against Doc Medich.

320
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,000
No score, second inning in Texas.

321
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Bounding ball to first.

322
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
It is a foul just outside the bag.

323
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000
A diving, rolling effort by Hardwell.

324
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Ball foul anyway.

325
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Paul Moore is the Saturday edition editor.

326
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
The Fort Worth Star Telegram is out here.

327
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
He grew up in Huntington Woods.

328
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Mark Chigune wants to send the best wishes to all the folks back home.

329
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Two-two, the count on Corcoran.

330
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
No score, second inning.

331
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Wind up the pitch.

332
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:46,000
It's a wide one, full count.

333
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Kevin Hutter, it's a big question mark on his team as a pitching.

334
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
That's where the bullpen.

335
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Now Medich ready to go to work again.

336
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Full count, better bring.

337
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Swung on, hit the left, base hit.

338
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Oliver feels the ball and that will be the second hit by the Tigers,

339
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
the first of the year for Corcoran.

340
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000
And Milt May will be stepping up.

341
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Milt with two for four for the Chief.

342
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
I asked Billy about a report in the New York paper.

343
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,000
I said I saw a report in the New York paper that the Rangers could have

344
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,000
made for Sparky Lyle or Claudel Washington.

345
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,000
And he said, well, I don't know about that, but he said,

346
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,000
I'll tell you one thing, I might report to Sparky to the commissioner

347
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:36,000
for tampering with my owner.

348
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,000
That'd be a switch wouldn't it?

349
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:49,000
That on first, two down, no score, here's Milt May at the plate.

350
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
There's a ball outside.

351
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
I have high regard for Claudel, but I'd make that deal anytime

352
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:02,000
if I were the Rangers and could do it.

353
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,000
No score, second inning, Tigers with a man on it, two down.

354
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Flip over to first and back in time is Corcoran.

355
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,000
I thought the Rangers would have an interest in Ken Holtzman.

356
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Clay Carroll has been working out down here with them.

357
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,000
There's a bounding foul ball over toward the dugout.

358
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,000
The Rangers are supposed to send a fit Hudson up to take a look at Holtzman's

359
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
tricks tonight, and I notice he's not sitting anyway.

360
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Catfish started tonight.

361
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Catfish, what's that score over there?

362
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
We've got Vince Desmond keeping score for it.

363
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Little rough catfish is out of him, Milwaukee leads the Yankees 6-1 in the fourth.

364
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,000
There's a line drive basehead in the corner off the bat of May.

365
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Holtzman turning heading for third.

366
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Up to the ball is Washington, fires it into Bump Wells, and the Tigers have runners

367
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000
at the corners and two down and a score of five.

368
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Second inning and the batter will be Whitaker.

369
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
May ripped a line drive hit into right field.

370
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:08,000
A three-tiger hit, they've all been solid singles.

371
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Great Blue Whitaker, he's won himself a lot of fans already at Tiger Stadium.

372
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
He's fighting 286 at two to seven.

373
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,000
One double and one single, and one RBI steps up.

374
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
They must have over-sprinkled a mound or something because Maddich had some trouble

375
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
before the game began.

376
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Down with a tongue depressor to try to wipe away some mud from his spikes now.

377
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Now he's ready to go.

378
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
The pitch to Whitaker is very high at fastball.

379
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,000
In the Toronto series, the Blue Jays outfielders were playing very shallow on Whitaker,

380
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
especially the left-fielders.

381
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000
In fact, the Tigers were amazed that the left-fielder was that shallow.

382
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Notice Oliver is in more normal depth against him in left.

383
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
If they drive that way, but it'll go foul back of the seat.

384
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Two and one, the count on Lou.

385
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:06,000
So far, May's been the only one to pull, Maddich.

386
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,000
The man on first is May, the man on third is Clarkland.

387
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,000
The Tigers have a scoring chance, two down, second inning.

388
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Fastball moved him back.

389
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Two and one, they count now.

390
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Maddich is 6'5 and weighs around 230.

391
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Bring right-handed steps, kicks, some of his.

392
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Whitaker swings, foul out of play.

393
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Got a fastball in tight on him, a hard pitch to handle.

394
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Hargrove, the holding on the bag with May, that gives Whitaker a little space

395
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:55,000
if he can pull the ball between Wilton Hargrove.

396
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Now the stretch again, we went under two, two delivery to Lou.

397
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,000
That's him off and bad fastball under the chin.

398
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Maddich is 6'3 against the Tigers in his lifetime,

399
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:17,000
and this is his first appearance for the Rangers for this season.

400
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Matlack and Sederich will be the pitchers here tomorrow night.

401
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
We hope you'll join us for that one.

402
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Now the 3-2 delivery on the way.

403
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,000
He walks him, the Tigers have loaded the bases.

404
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:35,000
And the number nine batter, Alan Samuels, will try to do something about it.

405
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Samuels with one hit and three chips so far this season.

406
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:50,000
So with two down, two singles on the walk have loaded the bases.

407
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Alan, right-hand batter against the right-hand pitching of Maddich.

408
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:02,000
That's the young man who now makes his home in San Diego.

409
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Southern League's most valuable player I feel.

410
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Playing back with two down, no score, bases loaded, two out.

411
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Swing, parable, backfield, it comes Washington, he's there, drops it for the up.

412
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
He was playing in shallow and the ball didn't get much wood on it,

413
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
and Washington pucks it out of the air.

414
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:29,000
No run, two hits, a walk, no errors, three Tigers are stranded at the end of one-and-a-half hitting.

415
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Detroit nothing, Rangers nothing.

416
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:39,000
BI-P il leонь les talented Peninsula

417
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Parathon roll, too much dough.

418
00:34:44,000 --> 00:35:04,400
Rangers coming to Matdoggins today of Rosemar who sent them down in a 1-2-3 fashion of the

419
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,680
opening inning and they were sent up to a designated hitter, Ricky Fisk, who started

420
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,120
off followed by Toby Harrah and then Claudel Washington.

421
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,600
Fisk wanted several additions to this club.

422
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:24,480
Makes the folks down here in Texas think that their Rangers might win the division in the

423
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,480
American League.

424
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:33,840
Fisk batting 455 at 5 for 11.

425
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:40,840
Fisk batting has a couple of home runs and leads the team in RBI's with 5.

426
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,840
Ricky Fisk is the play.

427
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,840
Big strong right hand batter, they got him in the white socks.

428
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,840
He takes a breaking ball over first strike.

429
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:59,840
Batted 290 last year and had 30 home runs, 101 in the RBI department.

430
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:05,840
There's a strike called, another slider from Rosie.

431
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,840
Fisk a graduate of Seton Hall.

432
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:16,840
And all those major league seasons with Pittsburgh until last year when he was with Chicago.

433
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:22,840
Takes a half cut but holds off and it is out of the strike zone, one and two on Fisk.

434
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,840
No runs and three hits for the Tigers, no runs and no hits for the Rangers.

435
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,840
Second inning in Texas.

436
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,840
Here it comes, he looks in too close with a fast ball.

437
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:39,840
That was not much out of the strike zone, 2-2 now on Fisk.

438
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:45,840
Toby Harrow waiting at the on deck circle.

439
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,840
Fly ball, it's a deep left center field.

440
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,840
It may get up the alley, it's jumped off the wall, fielded by Kemp.

441
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,840
It's a throw into the infield and it'll be a double for Ripley.

442
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,840
And up the alley, double the left center.

443
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,840
And the 4-12 to Harrow bats now, that's a ball at great distance,

444
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,840
take the notification.

445
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,840
This is the Detroit Tigers, baseball and at first.

446
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:13,840
WJR Detroit in game one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Detroit 4, Atlanta nothing.

447
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,840
On power play goals by McCourt, two by Nedamansky and a short handed goal by Hextall.

448
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:24,840
At the end of the first period of play, Red Wings 4, Atlanta 0.

449
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:30,840
Here's Toby Harrow, the right hand batting third baseman, batting 2-50, 2-4-8 so far.

450
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:36,840
Toby telling me before the ball game that he's got the fans at his short for some of the best in baseball.

451
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,840
He likes to play in the ball park.

452
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,840
You know the Eastern part is a lot better for hitters.

453
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,840
You feel a lot more like a hitter in the Eastern ball parks in the American League

454
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,840
than you do in the Western part.

455
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,840
Here's the set by Rosie and the young right handed pitches.

456
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:58,840
Harrow takes a strike on the inside corner.

457
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,840
Outfield a little bit to the left on him in the infield back,

458
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,840
just on second with his lead off double.

459
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,840
Pretty good turnout here tonight, it's just very pleasant weather.

460
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,840
Ball and in too close, one and one the count on him.

461
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:27,840
Rosema got ahead of Zipk and then launched him on that two base hit for that center.

462
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,840
Rosie checks his sign again with Milt May.

463
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,840
It is just off the inside corner.

464
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,840
Most of the pitches that Rosema's been throwing these right hand hitters in this inning

465
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:48,840
that have been off target have been toward the inside.

466
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:53,840
Oh the tall young right handed, tears done again to go to work.

467
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,840
Two one the count on Toby.

468
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:04,840
Rosema ready to deliver that it is a wide one, that was a low outside slider.

469
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,840
That's forcing that pitch a little bit.

470
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,840
No score on second inning but the Texans are threatening.

471
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,840
They've got a man on at second base and nobody down.

472
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:24,840
Harrow had 27 home runs last year and had 87 out of the eyes.

473
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:32,840
He takes strike on the inside corner, full count.

474
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,840
Toby didn't start out as much of a home run hitter.

475
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:42,840
Then he began to pick up a little heft along the way and also develop the home run swing.

476
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,840
Now the full count delivery from Rosema.

477
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,840
Here comes, he swings as they drive to right.

478
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,840
Going back is Caulkman, he's there, buried deep, makes the catch.

479
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,840
Just back, that's the third, he'll make it easily.

480
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:01,840
Man on third, one away.

481
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,840
That will bring up Trondale Washington.

482
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,840
The former Oakland player who came to Texas last year.

483
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,840
Trondale says he likes it down here, he's still living in Oakland but he says things go good for him.

484
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,840
He might be a good fellow here.

485
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,840
Heard his legs playing basketball in the off season.

486
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,840
That didn't go over too big with the Maddox lift.

487
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,840
And he's still slightly hobbled from that.

488
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,840
They've got to pull the infield in at the corners, let's see if the other two come in.

489
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,840
The up sample's going to come in at shortstop.

490
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,840
And Ralph House can let Whitaker play back.

491
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:42,840
So that's the way the infield aligns itself against Florida.

492
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,840
Let's stand about a swing, Van Miffy, as he pulls the trigger too soon.

493
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:54,840
Washington has won for six-stop already here, a single, two RBI.

494
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,840
Always a part of the fight, isn't he?

495
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:01,840
He's got a running speed, I feel he's straight up on him.

496
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,840
Man on third is just one man out, no score, second inning.

497
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,840
Swing and a miss.

498
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:19,840
Quite a from a road man out, may want to contab at the mound with his pitcher.

499
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:26,840
The trip with the Tigers is to two cities beginning here in Texas, these two games,

500
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,840
and an off day on Thursday on which the Tigers will be traveling.

501
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,840
And then the weekend in Toronto, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all single games.

502
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,840
Here's a cut on Miffy, he's stuck him out.

503
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,840
That's a big strikeout for Roseman with that man at third base and only one away.

504
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:47,840
Now they're two down as he wraps up his second strikeout of the game.

505
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:53,840
And Juan Beníquez, the fleet center fielder, the gold glove winner, steps up.

506
00:41:53,840 --> 00:42:02,840
Beníquez with 0 for 9 so far this year.

507
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,840
Enfield and dropped back now.

508
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:09,840
Beníquez, as you probably know, hits out of a crowded closed stand,

509
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:16,840
a crowded closed stand center, practically turns his back around toward the pitcher.

510
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:21,840
And he takes a fast ball up the shoulder, in close on him, ball one.

511
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,840
No score, inning number two.

512
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,840
Arlington, Texas, the scene of Tiger action tonight.

513
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,840
Hope you'll be out at Tiger Stadium with us when the Tigers get back home.

514
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,840
It'll be Monday the 17th of April against Chicago.

515
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,840
It's a tap mound in the dirt.

516
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,840
White Sox are off to a good start.

517
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:49,840
They've got Ron Bloomberg hitting, he had another home run today.

518
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,840
Milwaukee and the Yankees have gone to the seventh inning in their game in Milwaukee.

519
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,840
And it is the Milwaukee 8 and the Yankees 4.

520
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,840
Cooper has home run, Thomas has hit two home runs for Milwaukee,

521
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:07,840
and Randolph hit a three-run homer for the Yankees in the sixth inning.

522
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,840
One and one on Juan Beníquez.

523
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,840
And on third is Richie Ziss, set by the Rose.

524
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:22,840
And the pitch, he takes the ball low, fast ball, going in close.

525
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:29,840
No runs and two hits for Detroit, no runs and one hit for the Rangers.

526
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,840
Now Ziss, the hamling down the line from third, keeping an eye on Rose.

527
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,840
He has gone through set position, holds his pitches.

528
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,840
Beníquez looks at his slider wide.

529
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:49,840
And he is ahead of the young pitcher now, three and one on the batter.

530
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,840
Beníquez started out as an infielder in the Boston Red Sox system.

531
00:43:53,840 --> 00:44:00,840
When they made an outfielder out of him, he's become a fine one, waiting on a three-and-one delivery.

532
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:14,840
Caps ball in the dirt, back of the play.

533
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:19,840
While Beníquez had a throwing problem, at one time had an operation on his shoulder.

534
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:30,840
He had a shoulder separation with the Red Sox back in 1974.

535
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:36,840
Full count on him now, no score, two out of man at third base in the second inning.

536
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:44,840
Both were still staring in, but Beníquez thinks maybe for a little bit too long he steps away from the play.

537
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:49,840
Now they're back facing each other.

538
00:44:49,840 --> 00:45:03,840
And the set by Rose, the pitch swung out a bounding foul down past Conny Ryan, the third base coach.

539
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:17,840
Conny played with the Atlanta Crackers down in 1940, 1940 when that was down there.

540
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,840
Here's a step down, a pitch to Juan Beníquez.

541
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,840
Swings fly ball, deep center fielder, floor backing up.

542
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:29,840
He'll have room in the next, the Glenscombe, a wide retard.

543
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:34,840
Rose gets out of trouble, no runs on one hit, there were no errors in one man.

544
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,840
That's the end of two, Texas nothing, Detroit nothing.

545
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:42,840
Plymouth announces a breakthrough in American automobiles.

546
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:51,840
New Plymouth Horizon, the car you can drive in comfort and confidence on any kind of road.

547
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:58,840
Horizon gives you superb traction and stability because it's the first American-made car of its size with front-wheel drive.

548
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:07,840
Horizon is loaded with standard features like rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes, AM radio, white wall radio tires, and front bucket seats.

549
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:13,840
And Horizon has improved mileage figures on cars produced since March 6, 1978.

550
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:24,840
The EPA estimated a manual transmission Horizon without optional air conditioning and power steering by 41 miles per gallon highway, 27 city, near mileage in a different.

551
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:31,840
Yet Horizon is base price to just $87.06 excluding taxes and destination charges.

552
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:37,840
Anytime you want to go anywhere, good vibes, Horizon can handle it.

553
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,840
Now at your great Detroit-Plymouth dealers.

554
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:47,840
Did you know that during his 18-year boxing career, gentleman Jim Quibbett never had a bloody nose or a black eye?

555
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:56,840
That's a WGR sports stat in Longdale Conquest.

556
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:03,840
The Tigers have a new equipment manager, Theo de Thauval, the 39-year-old trainer with Evansville.

557
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:09,840
He's been appointed to that job by Jim Campbell, the executive vice president and general manager.

558
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:17,840
And he will travel with the Tigers and handle their equipment.

559
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:29,840
Tiger Stadium. And Paul and I want to send our very best to Jack Han, who has resigned from his job, and we hope Jack the very best of luck in whatever endeavor he undertakes.

560
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,840
Here's Ron LaFleur now, beating it off of the Tigers, and he takes the ball in close.

561
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,840
Ball on, Ronny.

562
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,840
He bounces a second of A to his first trip.

563
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:44,840
This game is scoreless. Third inning, Medich on the mound delivers strike called.

564
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,840
One and one on LaFleur.

565
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,840
Outfield slightly scored right on him in the infield back.

566
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,840
Medich pitches again. There's a bounding ball.

567
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,840
The wills at second base. He clips it over the first to Hargrove.

568
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:03,840
And LaFleur goes out the same way he did in the first inning, second to first.

569
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,840
He's Mankowski who's singled in the first inning.

570
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:18,840
And Phil was erased in a double play.

571
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:23,840
Left hand batter against the right-hander Doc Medich.

572
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:28,840
Swing and a foul right down below it.

573
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:33,840
And a gentleman from Plano will take that one home with him.

574
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:38,840
Pretty good stop. Bounced from the aisle and he left-handed it.

575
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,840
Here it comes. Watch out.

576
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:47,840
Jack Knight following the way of an inside fastball from Medich.

577
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:53,840
Doc's real name is George.

578
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,840
He delivers. There's a bounding ball back to the wills.

579
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,840
He's to his right. He has it for the first. Got him.

580
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:10,840
Oh, Bump Will's has been busy down there second base.

581
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,840
That's his fourth or fifth already. Here's Rusty Star who hit into a double play.

582
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,840
On a brilliant maneuver by Bump in the first inning.

583
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,840
Rusty hit the ball sharply up the middle.

584
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,840
Will's got back, back-handed it behind the bag.

585
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,840
And with one motion out of the glove,

586
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:31,840
it's the ball to Kapanaris who relay the hard drive for the D.P.

587
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,840
Rusty takes a slow curveball over.

588
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:40,840
Strike called.

589
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,840
Yes, sir, you want to see these young Tigers in action when they get back to Tiger Stadium.

590
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,840
Be out there with us throughout the season.

591
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:53,840
Fastball going away, one and one on the stop.

592
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,840
It's so fun like the fun you have at the ballpark.

593
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,840
One and one now on Rusty, two out, nobody on.

594
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:04,840
Scoreless game. Swing and a tap fouled in the dirt.

595
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,840
Over the clock a little bit on that one.

596
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,840
Three hits for the Tigers and one for the Rangers.

597
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:19,840
Tigers three hits and then singles. The Rangers one hit with a double by Ziff.

598
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:27,840
Now the motion, here's a pitch. In close, fastball two-two.

599
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,840
Billy Hunter talking about medicine spring training

600
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,840
and how a lot of times certain pitches don't look good in spring training

601
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,840
and then can do the job when the bell rings.

602
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,840
Here's a pitch. There's a chopper foul.

603
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:46,840
Billy said, I remember one time I got a home run, a double, and a single off Sal Magley.

604
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:59,840
I was in a spring game. He said, no way I can hit Magley that good in the regular season.

605
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,840
Two-two, the count on Rusty's top. Here it comes.

606
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,840
Swung on a high fly ball to right field, not deep enough.

607
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:11,840
Washington is there waiting. It'll come down and does in his glove.

608
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:16,840
One-two-three in the Tigers third. We go to the last half of third.

609
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,840
Detroit nothing, Texas nothing.

610
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,840
There's two things I remember about the 58.

611
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:31,840
I spent more on the air than on the air from the car and the ball from the first shooting.

612
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,840
It's also the U.S. party's music champions.

613
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:42,840
Now in 66 I remember two more fans. A silver Corvette and a redhead named George L.

614
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,840
This year I got myself a Chevy wagon.

615
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,840
Four more things to remember.

616
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,840
A little Jim, a little Joe, a little Jim and a little Bob.

617
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:56,840
I've had a lot of different kinds of Chevy's over the years, but one kind of spark-blood champion.

618
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:04,840
He can't buy a better truck, boy, is he gonna call him champion, champion.

619
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:12,840
He can't buy a better truck no matter where you are than champion, champion.

620
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:17,840
Number one in the world, number one in your car.

621
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:30,840
Did I forget someone? Did I forget Billy Jack?

622
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:36,840
Well, Rosemar ready to go into action now. It's Bob Wilkes that leads it off against Rosie.

623
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:46,840
And then after the second baseman bats it'll be the catcher Sunburn followed by the top of the batting order Mike Hargrove.

624
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,840
Each of these teams won two out of three in its opening series.

625
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:58,840
The Rangers were taking the measure, the Yankees and the Tigers besting the Toronto Blue Jays.

626
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,840
Well, Wilkes, the switch batter will be up there left-handed.

627
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:09,840
He's hitting 250 so far, two for eight.

628
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:22,840
Now, Kelsky on the grass at third base, anticipating the bump possibility as Rosemar delivers high and away, ball one on Will.

629
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,840
Little guy's on himself a regular spot down here.

630
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:31,840
He swings and it's one up the middle, passed Campbell's glove on one hop on in the center field.

631
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:38,840
Campbell got back a second, almost got through that ball, but it got past him and it is hit number two off Rosemar.

632
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:44,840
Campbell's leads off with a single. Here's Jim Sunberg with one for nine.

633
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:50,840
After Billy Hunter came down here last year, Sunberg just sort of switched around and made himself a good hitter.

634
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,840
Went up on the bat a little bit, got some confidence.

635
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:59,840
Hunter got to a point where he wouldn't take Jim out in the late innings for a pitch batter.

636
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:05,840
And he ended up with his finest year at the plate. He batted 291.

637
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:12,840
And out of that, his best average had been 242.

638
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,840
There's a toss over to first base.

639
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:23,840
In fact, he had averages of 242, 199, and 228 before he moved up to 291.

640
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,840
University of Iowa product, Jim Sunberg.

641
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,840
Will's with a pretty good lead at third base.

642
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,840
And he goes, a pitch he swung on and missed.

643
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,840
He's got a second. It is not in time.

644
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,840
He got a good jump on Rosemar.

645
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:43,840
May could not contend with that. It's a steal for Will.

646
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,840
No question about that one. He got a good jump.

647
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,840
That pitch was low and Sunberg helped the runner.

648
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,840
He went swinging at a pitch outside the strike zone and May had to pick the ball out of the dirt.

649
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:55,840
So, Milt was held back a bit there.

650
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,840
That's the first steal for a bop. He's been thrown out once before.

651
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,840
Man on second, now nobody down.

652
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:08,840
It's the second straight inning. They've got a man on second base with nobody out against Rosemar.

653
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,840
No score at third inning.

654
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:20,840
And Sunberg takes his flight of wide, one and one.

655
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:26,840
Opbele on Sunberg is just slightly toward left field.

656
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,840
Here's the set and the pitch.

657
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:35,840
In too close, down around the knees, two and one.

658
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:41,840
Rosemar's not walking anybody, but his control really hasn't been as sharp as his record would indicate.

659
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,840
He's struck out a couple.

660
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:50,840
He's thrown quite a few pitches for this stage of the game.

661
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:55,840
Now behind on the head, he goes to the two-one set position, delivers.

662
00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:01,840
Here's a bounding ball to first, Thompson gloves it, makes the play on assisted wills, takes third easily.

663
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:11,840
And this is the second straight inning that the Rangers have put a man in third with one away.

664
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:16,840
Mike Hargrove, who bounced out first base to pitch a covering will be the batter.

665
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,840
The Tigers are going to pull their infield in again.

666
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:34,840
No exception of Whitaker, the second baseman.

667
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:41,840
Mike Hargrove, the left-hander batting first baseman, at the plate.

668
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,840
Now the stretch and the pitch.

669
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,840
He swings as they drive to deep center field, right center.

670
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,840
The floor goes back, makes the catch, the run will score.

671
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:57,840
Died by Will, he crosses the plate, one nothing check.

672
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,840
No play at all at the plate.

673
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:01,840
There's no chance for LaFleur.

674
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,840
He had to go deep in the right center to pull the ball in.

675
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,840
And Will has just dropped down home with a first run of the game.

676
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,840
One to nothing Rangers.

677
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:15,840
Here's Bert Campanari, RBI on the sacrifice for Hargrove.

678
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:21,840
That's his first run batted in this year.

679
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,840
Right-hand batting Campanari is waiting.

680
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,840
One nothing Texas in the third as they drive to center.

681
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:28,840
He comes to the floor.

682
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,840
He grabs it on the run towards second base.

683
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,840
A good running catch by Ron and the side retired.

684
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,840
One run, one hit, no errors.

685
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:48,840
Nobody left, but at the end of three of the Rangers, one and the Tigers nothing.

686
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:49,840
Well, let's look at the other scores.

687
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,840
This afternoon the White Sox beat Toronto 9-5.

688
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,840
And there were plenty of home runs there for Chicago.

689
00:57:55,840 --> 00:58:00,840
Sadahom with the man on, Horta with the man on, Gar with the bases empty,

690
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,840
Bloomberg with the man on, and two bases empty home runs by Toronto

691
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,840
both in the fourth inning by Cardi and by Valette.

692
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,840
Jefferson is the loser and Cory Alba the winner.

693
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,840
The Yankee-Milwaukee game as we told you a moment or two ago,

694
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,840
it is eight for Milwaukee and four for the Yankees here in the seventh inning.

695
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,840
Cooper and Randolph in his home runs and Thomas has hit two for the Brewers.

696
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:25,840
Hard to believe by each week in the third against Augustine.

697
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,840
And Minnesota and California, we've got the pictures up now.

698
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:33,840
Erickson against Hussey and Seattle, Oakland, no report on that one yet.

699
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,840
In the National League the Cubs beat the Mets by a score of 42.

700
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,840
Russell the winner and Kuzma takes it off to that one.

701
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,840
Montreal and the Phillies delayed because of rain.

702
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,840
And now we've got word that it was postponed because of rain

703
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,840
and will be made up on the 5th of July.

704
00:58:50,840 --> 00:59:08,840
Rangers abrupt the tie there on the third inning on a single by Wells with stolen base.

705
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,840
He moved to third on the bounce out and came home with a sacrifice off the bat of Hargrove.

706
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:18,840
The only score of the game, one nothing Rangers, as Medics and Rosemary duel away here in Texas.

707
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,840
And here's the microphone to bring us the action of ball carrying.

708
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:23,840
Okay Ernie, thank you.

709
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,840
Jason Thompson will lead it off for the Tigers here in the fourth inning.

710
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,840
Jason to the pop flight of left his first time up.

711
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:37,840
He'll be followed by Kemp and Corcoran against the big right-hander Medich.

712
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:43,840
They're playing him straight away both in the infield and outfield.

713
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,840
Here's the lineup on the first pitch of the inning.

714
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,840
Little low, ball one.

715
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:57,840
From the infield for Texas, Hargrove at first, Wills at second, Kemp on errors at short, Harrah at third.

716
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:02,840
A pitch to Jason, check swing, it was low and away and he checked in time.

717
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,840
The appeal made down to third base umpire Jim Evans.

718
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,840
He supported the contention of Durwood Merrill that Jason had checked.

719
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:17,840
2-0 count on Thompson.

720
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,840
Medich into the pump, here's the pitch.

721
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,840
There's a foul back to the screen.

722
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:28,840
I realize now they've eliminated one of these screens here at Arlington Stadium.

723
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,840
They used to have one of a double set.

724
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:36,840
They haven't made the first screen any larger but they've taken away the second one.

725
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,840
A lot of balls get in the stands here.

726
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,840
A 2-1 pitch.

727
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:49,840
Ball three, a little bit low.

728
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,840
Medich really bounced around last year.

729
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:58,840
He pitched for three teams, Oakland, Seattle, and the New York Mets.

730
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,840
Thompson fouls one off of the play.

731
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,840
Full count on Jason.

732
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:17,840
Medich had an accumulative record of 12 wins and 7 defeats.

733
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:25,840
Had a fine rookie season, you'll recall, with the Yankees back in 1973.

734
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,840
Al Bumbrey of Baltimore won the rookie honors that year, however.

735
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:35,840
Goal for a ball and Thompson draws a walk, the second given up by Medich.

736
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:40,840
First time in the ball game the Tigers have gotten their leadoff man on base, however.

737
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:42,840
That'll bring up Steve Kemp.

738
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:51,840
Kemp struck out swinging his first time up.

739
01:01:51,840 --> 01:02:03,840
Thompson has drawn a walk in each of his first three games.

740
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,840
Holding at the back at first is Hargrove, a set by Medich.

741
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:11,840
The pitch to Kemp, swung out at line foul into the stands beyond the Tiger dugout.

742
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:22,840
The leading dugout here in Arlington is behind third.

743
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:28,840
How about a rain over the weekend down here in Texas?

744
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,840
The inside moved him back.

745
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:40,840
Still got a little puddle on top of the Tiger dugout, in fact, in a depression there.

746
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,840
The forecast for this week is excellent.

747
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:50,840
That's one of the ex-Detroit area TV forecasters working down here, giving us that word.

748
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:58,840
Troy Dungan, as they set the pitch to Kemp, outside for a ball, two and one on Steve.

749
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:06,840
Medich, a very methodical worker, he wants a new baseball.

750
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:11,840
The first club is strong up the middle. They get Sundberg, a gold glove winner, behind the plate.

751
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:17,840
Out in center field, Juan Beníquez, who won a gold glove last year for Fielding Palace.

752
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,840
And around the back at second, Wills and Campaneras.

753
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,840
Here's the pitch. Swung out and right back to the mound.

754
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:27,840
Medich, he drops the ball. Has only one play. He goes to first base to get Kemp.

755
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,840
George had trouble getting the ball out of the glove.

756
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:35,840
He looked at second, had a double play right in front of him, but he simply did not handle the ball well.

757
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,840
He dropped it as he pulled it out of the glove.

758
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,840
By the time he picked it up, he had only the one play of first base on Kemp.

759
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:48,840
So Thompson moves up to second.

760
01:03:48,840 --> 01:04:03,840
And that'll bring up Corcoran. Corky single it up his first time up.

761
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:08,840
Medich, staring in, getting the sign from Sundberg, looks back at Thompson.

762
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:23,840
Here's the pitch. Corky takes the strike.

763
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:30,840
Medich has walked two. He's struck out one and given up three hits. All singles.

764
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,840
Corky swings, rips one up the middle. It's in the center field, a base hit.

765
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,840
Here comes Thompson around third. Vanekas up with the ball.

766
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,840
Millthrow to the plate. Thompson scores.

767
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,840
Corcoran delivers the Tiger run to tie the ball game at one to one.

768
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:50,840
Corky, after going hitless in the first three Tiger games, he was a pinch hitter in two of them and walked those times.

769
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:59,840
Delivers a couple of singles in this game against Medich.

770
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:04,840
That'll bring up Millth May, who pulled a single down the right field line his first time up.

771
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:06,840
Millth hitting well.

772
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:11,840
The latter stages of spring training and it carried over into the regular season.

773
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:30,840
In fact, Millth is now three for five for the year.

774
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:36,840
Medich taking a little time. Corcoran edges further away from the bag at first.

775
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:41,840
Here's the pitch. There's a fly ball hit deep right center field. Vanekas on the run near the wall.

776
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,840
Reaches 10th and it is off the wall. Rounding second heading for third is Corcoran.

777
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,840
May seems in the second with a double. Holding a third is Corcoran.

778
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,840
Corky had to hold. It looked for a moment like Vanekas might get there.

779
01:05:53,840 --> 01:06:03,840
Washington almost colliding with Vanekas at the wall, similar to the double by Richie Zisk to the opposite side of the field earlier in the contest.

780
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:08,840
It got off the glove of Vanekas as he leaped and it bounced off the wall.

781
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,840
Had to be picked up by Washington. And May is on that second with a double.

782
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,840
At third is Corcoran. We've got a conference of the mound.

783
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:21,840
Thunberg talking with Medich. And before Whitaker, bats will pause for station identification.

784
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,840
This is the Detroit Tiger baseball network.

785
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:29,840
You're listening to America's great radio station. This is WJR Detroit.

786
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:46,840
Now with less than 10 minutes to play in the second period of tonight's Stanley Cup playoff game, the Detroit Red Wings 4 and the Atlanta Flames 1.

787
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:53,840
Here's Lue. Sweet Lue walked his first time up. The infield is in tight all around for Texas.

788
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,840
Runners at second and third, one away to game tied, one to one.

789
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:07,840
And now to Whitaker. Moved him back. He had to spin out of the way of that fastball inside.

790
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:15,840
The Tigers have tied it on a walk and a single and have a chance to move ahead with runners at second and third following May's double.

791
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:20,840
There's a fly ball down the left field line. It is slicing far and out of reach.

792
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:27,840
Oliver swung a little bit toward left center at a long run, almost caught up with it.

793
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:32,840
It fell foul about four feet.

794
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:40,840
Kind of a collective sigh here by the Rangers fans.

795
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:47,840
Expecting a very big turnout tomorrow night at Arlington Stadium when the bird, Mark Siddrich,

796
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:53,840
throws for the Tigers against John Matlack who won the opening game here for Texas.

797
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:58,840
Here's the 1-1 pitch. Whitaker bounces one to short. Campy checks the runners, throws to first.

798
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:04,840
Got him two down now with runners still at second and third.

799
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,840
Well, a drawn-in infield paid off that time for the Rangers.

800
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,840
The ball hit sharply right to Campanaro's.

801
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:18,840
Here's Allen Trammell now on the Tiger fourth.

802
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:22,840
Trammell flied to right his first time up.

803
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:27,840
With the exception of May, the Tiger batters have not been getting around on med-age,

804
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:32,840
but May has been able to hit him and hit him hard and pull him.

805
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:37,840
Getting some activity on the bullpen down there. Looks like that might be...

806
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:42,840
That would be Comer, a rookie right-hander.

807
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,840
Here's the pitch. Swung on, a line drive, base hit right center field by Trammell.

808
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,840
Scoring is Corcoran. Here comes Mays being held.

809
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:52,840
They're thrown to the plate. Now they've got off the base at first is Trammell,

810
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,840
but he bumps out his back and is in safely at first base.

811
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:58,840
Nobody was covering first.

812
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,840
Argrove had come in to cut off the ball in the middle of the diamond.

813
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,840
Trammell took almost too big a turn, however.

814
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:08,840
Sundberg was ready to run him down at first base, but then nobody was covering the plate.

815
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,840
May went on the breaks as he started to head home.

816
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:16,840
The Tigers get one in. May at third. At first is Trammell following his RBI.

817
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,840
Single and the Tigers now lead it 2-1.

818
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:25,840
And it's the top of the batting order with Ron LaFleur stepping in.

819
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:30,840
That ball hit on a line sharply to right center field.

820
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,840
A wise choice stopping May at third base.

821
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:39,840
Here's the pitch to Ronnie. He fouls this one out of play in right field.

822
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:48,840
Tigers now with a total of six hits in the ball game.

823
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:55,840
The stretch by Medich.

824
01:09:55,840 --> 01:10:00,840
The pitch to Ron. He swings and pops one down the right field line.

825
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,840
Washington coming in. Hargrove going back.

826
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,840
Foul ball out of the reach to second baseman Wills.

827
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:08,840
It fell in between all three of them.

828
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:15,840
A little slicing pop foul that was blown that direction by the wind.

829
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:22,840
Everybody has to come back. Trammell was all the way to third base.

830
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:34,840
The ball has bounced out twice to Wills at second.

831
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:40,840
A walk and three hits paying off for a couple of tanker runs here in the fourth inning.

832
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,840
Medich ready again. Here's the two-strike pitch.

833
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:53,840
Trammell outside.

834
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,840
Trammell moving away from the back at first.

835
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,840
May with a short lead down the line from third.

836
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:00,840
The ball cuts to ground ball to Wills again.

837
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,840
He puts the campy for the fourth on Trammell and that retires the Tigers.

838
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,840
But the Tigers break through for a couple of runs.

839
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,840
They score two runs on three hits and a walk. No errors.

840
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:12,840
Two runners left on base.

841
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:14,840
The Rangers to bat on the bottom of the fourth inning.

842
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:18,840
It's now Tigers two, the Rangers one.

843
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:23,840
No charge checking. Other banks make it tougher.

844
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:25,840
City National makes it easier.

845
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:31,840
Now while other banks are increasing the minimum savings balance you need for no charge checking,

846
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,840
CNB lowers it with combo checking.

847
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:47,840
That's right, some banks are raising the minimum savings requirement to a whopping $500,

848
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,840
but CNB lowers it to $200.

849
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:56,840
A $200 minimum balance in savings or a $200 minimum balance in your checking account

850
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:58,840
and you check without charge.

851
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:06,840
$200 in savings or $200 in checking and you write all the checks you want without charge.

852
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:08,840
All your checks without charge.

853
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,840
Other banks make no charge checking tougher.

854
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,840
Combo checking makes it easier.

855
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:14,840
Who's got it?

856
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:15,840
Nobody.

857
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,840
City National.

858
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:35,840
Member FDIC.

859
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:41,840
Now the Tigers on top now two to one as the Rangers come to bat here on the bottom of the fourth inning.

860
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:49,840
And I'd like to send along some get well wishes to a longtime Tiger listener up in Charlevoix, Mr. Frank Supernaut.

861
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:52,840
Also to the News Director, WJR Dave White.

862
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:59,840
Best wishes, Dave, entering the Bobanum Hospital for surgery tomorrow.

863
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:03,840
Here's Al Oliver, number zero, deleted off in the fourth of the Rangers.

864
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,840
He bounced out the second his first time up.

865
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:08,840
Left hand batter, they pitch to Al.

866
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,840
The players bumped down the third base line, it's a beauty.

867
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:18,840
Mankowski will not make any plays.

868
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,840
A bump single for Al Oliver.

869
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:30,840
Perfectly placed halfway between the place and third.

870
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:38,840
Richie Zisk, who doubled in the second inning, got as far as third base.

871
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:43,840
Now Zisk won the opening game for Texas with a home run and a ninth inning.

872
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:49,840
Had a two run homer here last night against the Yankees.

873
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:53,840
A multi-millionaire Richie Zisk.

874
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,840
Set by Rosie, here's the pitch.

875
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,840
Just outside ball one.

876
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:10,840
It's reported that the contract of Zisk is for 10 years and for approximately $2.8 million.

877
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,840
Strong right hand batter.

878
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:16,840
The pitch to him, swung on, a fly ball hit to shallow right field,

879
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:18,840
Corkman on the run, still coming.

880
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:23,840
He makes the catch, a fine running catch by Corky, playing very deep on Zisk.

881
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,840
Now there's one down on the Ranger fourth inning.

882
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:29,840
That'll bring up Toby Herra.

883
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:43,840
He flies the clock run his first time up.

884
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:51,840
Now Toby had his best home run total in his career last year, 27 homers.

885
01:14:51,840 --> 01:15:02,840
He played in 159 games for Texas.

886
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,840
Here's the set by Rosemont, will look to first at Oliver, the pitch.

887
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:07,840
Ground ball to the right side, Whitaker over Hezit.

888
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:09,840
Goes to second for one, the relay to first.

889
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:11,840
It is not in time.

890
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:13,840
Bang, bang, play of first base.

891
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:15,840
Marty Springstead calling Herra safe.

892
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:20,840
So it goes as a force of seconds.

893
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:27,840
And that brings up Claudel Washington.

894
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:38,840
Washington struck out his first time up.

895
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:44,840
Young man who came up, earned his spot on the majors with the Oakland A's.

896
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:52,840
Still only 23 years old.

897
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,840
Rosemont with his drop on his knee, now into the stretch.

898
01:15:55,840 --> 01:16:09,840
The pitch still of Washington, it's a pitch out, but no movement at first by Herra.

899
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,840
Rosie is struck out up there, hasn't walked anybody.

900
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:22,840
Here's a foul in the dirt rolling behind the plate.

901
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:28,840
Coolish for Texas, I'll tell you, the Tigers usually hear when it's humid in the evening.

902
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,840
Not so tonight.

903
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:36,840
They've all got jackets on down on the Tiger dugout.

904
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:44,840
While they set the pitch, swung on and missed, a ball and two strikes on Claudel.

905
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:52,840
Ernie was talking about that rumored trade between the Yankees concerning Washington and Lyle.

906
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:57,840
There's another reported trade, Herra for nettles at one time.

907
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:01,840
Hi, there's the runner going Herra, slides, he is out at second base.

908
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:06,840
The good bill by Milton A cut him down and that retires the Rangers in the fourth inning.

909
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,840
No runs, no hits, no errors, they do not leave anybody.

910
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:14,840
After four innings of play, it's the Tigers two, the Rangers one.

911
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:23,840
When I first thought about doing this commercial, I realized I could do it by myself if I wanted to run the recording equipment and talk into the microphone at the same time.

912
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:29,840
But I also realized it would probably get done better if my friend Rex ran the equipment while I did the talking.

913
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:37,840
When I thought about how this commercial might sound better with some music, I realized I could do that by myself too if I learned to play all the instruments.

914
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:42,840
But that it would probably sound better if I got together with Ray and Bob and Pete and the boys.

915
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,840
So we did just what the Marathon Oil Company did.

916
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:47,840
We got together to do it better.

917
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,840
We didn't do it to everyone, just to do it better.

918
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:52,840
I think it worked out pretty good.

919
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:54,840
Just like we did for Marathon.

920
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,840
So I even got some more people together to do some singing.

921
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:04,840
We got together to do it better.

922
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:09,840
We did it better.

923
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,840
Marathon Oil Company.

924
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,840
We got together to do it better.

925
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,840
And we did.

926
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:18,840
This is Jim Garrett.

927
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:24,840
Oakland County juvenile courtism need to foster homes for youngsters and especially teenagers.

928
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:36,840
For information call 858-0204.

929
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:39,840
We're talking about possible deals with Texas.

930
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:57,840
The reference to Herra's metals trade is an alleged phone call made early in the morning one time last year by the then general manager of the Yankees, Gabe Paul, to Brad Corbett.

931
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:01,840
Well, he wound up getting Brad Corbett, Jr., Brad's son.

932
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:03,840
Woke him up and said, is this Brad?

933
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:04,840
And he said, yes.

934
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:06,840
He said, how about metals for Herra?

935
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:10,840
Young Brad said, nope.

936
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:15,840
Brad Sr. didn't find out about it until some time later.

937
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:16,840
Here's Phil Mankowski.

938
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:18,840
Phil won for two.

939
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:20,840
He cuts and fouls into the screen.

940
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:28,840
Phil singled in the first inning.

941
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:31,840
Rangers are interested in acquiring some more pitching.

942
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:33,840
They're looking at Jim Kern or trying to work a deal out.

943
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:40,840
There's a foul fly toward the seats in left field, back up a number of rows.

944
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,840
They have been interested in getting Kern.

945
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:51,840
They have a young man, Len Parker, on this pitching staff who might be the answer, but they're not really sure of him yet.

946
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:54,840
The pitch to Mankowski, round ball to first.

947
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:55,840
Hargrove fields it.

948
01:19:55,840 --> 01:20:02,840
He'll make the play unassisted to retire Mankow, one down in the Tiger fifth inning.

949
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,840
That brings up Rusty.

950
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:06,840
Stop is over two.

951
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:13,840
He bounced into a double play in the first inning, fly to right his last trip.

952
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:25,840
Getting an even 333 now, five for 15.

953
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:36,840
Here's the windup by Medich. The pitch is a little low, ball one.

954
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,840
Not much breeze at all here in Arlington Stadium now.

955
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:43,840
Cut and a foul, ball and a strike on Rusty.

956
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:54,840
This park is known for its unpredictable winds, kind of a swirling wind usually.

957
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,840
Here's the windup, the one-one pitch.

958
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,840
Check swing at the ball, two and one on stop.

959
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:04,840
Tigers in front, two to one.

960
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:06,840
Rangers gonna run on the bottom of the third.

961
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:15,840
The Tigers moved ahead with two on the top of the fourth inning.

962
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:18,840
Stop patiently waiting at the plate.

963
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:35,840
Now the motion by Medich, the two-one pitch, ball three.

964
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:40,840
Medich has walked two Tigers, and he walks the third.

965
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:44,840
Stop takes it low.

966
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:57,840
That'll bring up Jason Thompson, who got a base on balls his first time up, or his last time up, and scored the first Tiger run.

967
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,840
And moving Benekis to straightaway center.

968
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:09,840
He had started to play Jason in right-center field, but Billy Hunter waved him back out the straight center.

969
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,840
Infield and double play depth.

970
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:15,840
Bob at first, one away here in the top of the fifth inning.

971
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,840
Medich ready to go to work on Jason.

972
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:24,840
The first pitch is taking a high ball one.

973
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:31,840
Ernie will be on with his pregame show again tomorrow night at 8.15 Detroit time and Michigan time.

974
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,840
Windup of the short two-game series.

975
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,840
Jason swings, bounces one down behind first.

976
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,840
Hargrove field tags first, throws to second.

977
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:41,840
It gets past Campanella.

978
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:44,840
Stop is safe, but he won't advance any further.

979
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:48,840
Rusty had slid in, and in picking himself up, he did not have time to get over the third.

980
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:54,840
Campy chased the ball down and shallow left field.

981
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,840
So it goes as a putout at first on Thompson with Stop taking second.

982
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:05,840
And it brings up Steve Kemp now with two down.

983
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,840
Kemp hitless in two trips.

984
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:13,840
Four for 11 for the season for Steve.

985
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:17,840
Once again, the tongue depressor being used by Medich.

986
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:28,840
Trouble picking up some of that reddish clay in his spikes out on the mound.

987
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:41,840
Second is the pitch to Kemp. A high ball one on Steve.

988
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:47,840
Mark Federich going tomorrow night did not pitch against the Rangers at all, either in Detroit or here.

989
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:53,840
During the span of time he was with us last year, strike called on Kemp.

990
01:23:53,840 --> 01:24:01,840
A lot of the fans eager to get a chance to see the bird out here tomorrow night.

991
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:06,840
Stop at second, two down, and a Tiger fifth inning, a 1-1 count.

992
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:10,840
Now on Kemp.

993
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:15,840
The pitch to him. Moved him back, almost hit him.

994
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:23,840
Kemp had to do quite a dance that time to get out of the way.

995
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:30,840
Two balls and a strike on Steve.

996
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:32,840
Here's the look to second by Medich.

997
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:51,840
He delivers. Ball three low and inside. On deck is Corcoran.

998
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,840
Now Medich into the stretch.

999
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:58,840
Here's the 3-1 pitch. Bowled to the screen.

1000
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:07,840
Now on Steve.

1001
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:13,840
The Rangers will be facing a left-hander tomorrow night in John Matlack.

1002
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:19,840
Well, Pouck so far has stuck to that platooning of five positions.

1003
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:42,840
Here's the set now. The Pouck on pitch to Kemp. Swung on and tapped down the first base line foul.

1004
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:51,840
The Rangers really had the number of the Tigers last year, winning four out of five here.

1005
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:56,840
And four out of five in Detroit. Medich asking for time. He walks off the mound.

1006
01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:01,840
Now it comes back up.

1007
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,840
Stopped, walked with one out, moved to second on the bounce-out by Thompson.

1008
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:08,840
He's there now with two down, a 3-2 count on Kemp.

1009
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:17,840
Here's the pitch to Steve. He fouls this one off.

1010
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:23,840
Texas fans out here last night had a lot of fun, and they game won by the Rangers over the Yankees.

1011
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:29,840
They were all issued free handkerchiefs when they entered the ballpark last night.

1012
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,840
They were called Beat the Yankee Hankees.

1013
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:40,840
And they did a lot of waving of them because they beat the Yankees 5-2.

1014
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:49,840
Ready is Medich. The pitch foul to the screen. Kemp giving him a battle at the plate.

1015
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:56,840
Two runs on six hits for the Tigers, a run on three hits for the Rangers.

1016
01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:04,840
A new supply of baseball is necessary for Derwood Merrill.

1017
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:21,840
Merrill returns one to the ball boy. Medich has not liked a couple of balls he's gotten out there recently.

1018
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:29,840
Now they stretch by Doc. Here's the pitch. Ball four, he walked in with an off-beat pitch high and outside to Steve.

1019
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:34,840
So the Tigers have two on base as a result of walks here in the fifth inning.

1020
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:39,840
And Tim Coughlin strives to the plate. Tim is 2-2 tonight.

1021
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:43,840
That's four walks given up by Medich.

1022
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:49,840
And three of them have come in the last two innings.

1023
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:54,840
Coughlin singled in the second inning, got as far as third base, was stranded there.

1024
01:27:54,840 --> 01:28:03,840
In the fourth inning he singled in a Tiger run and scored one.

1025
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:13,840
Medich taking plenty of time. Here's the first pitch to Tim. Moved him back for the fastball.

1026
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:20,840
And he mentioned the fact that Dr. Bobby Brown is one of the directors here of the Rangers Ball Club.

1027
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:29,840
Back when Doc was first in the Yankee system, his advisor at the University of Pittsburgh was Dr. Bobby Brown.

1028
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:48,840
Here's the pitch from Medich. Lowing away.

1029
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:54,840
Ball two count on Tim Coughlin.

1030
01:28:54,840 --> 01:29:01,840
Edging away from second. They're not paying attention to the base runners right now. Here's the pitch to Coughlin.

1031
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:07,840
Oh, no, it's right. He got that one in above the knees. Coughlin took a look, was tempted, held off.

1032
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:14,840
Two-one count now. Umberger is beginning to throw in the bullpen for the Rangers.

1033
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:21,840
Oh, left-hander.

1034
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:26,840
Two-one count on Coughlin. The pitch from Medich. Swung on, a drive toward the right field corner.

1035
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:31,840
That may be extra bases. Over to cut it off is Washington. Here comes Staub to score.

1036
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:37,840
Kemp will hold it third. Coughlin settles for a long single. That ball dies in that outfield out there.

1037
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:42,840
It may be quite moist from all the rain over the last couple of days.

1038
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:47,840
And it was stopped down. Washington was able to cut it off before it got to the corner.

1039
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:54,840
The Tigers had another run. Coughlin picks up his third straight single, his second RBI of the night, and the Tigers lead it 3-1.

1040
01:29:54,840 --> 01:30:03,840
Here comes Milt May, who's had a hot bat against Medich tonight. Milt with a single and a double.

1041
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:14,840
Kemp at third. Coughlin at third.

1042
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:20,840
The difference at the mound, Sundberg out to talk to Medich. Now, Durwood Meryl goes out to break it up.

1043
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:26,840
And they're trying to give Humburger some time. That was the ploy. Here comes Billy Hunter out of a Ranger dugout.

1044
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:32,840
I would suspect we're going to get a pitching change right here.

1045
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:40,840
Billy taking his time, slowly trudging out to the mound. Humburger, left-hander, who was with Texas, went away to Oakland,

1046
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:44,840
and then they got him back to the latter stages last season.

1047
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:52,840
Appears to be ready to come on. May is the next scheduled Tiger batter. Now the plate umpire Meryl again goes out.

1048
01:30:52,840 --> 01:31:00,840
Is he going to make a change? No, he's not going to make a change right now.

1049
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:05,840
Medich standing alone on the mound, waiting for Sundberg to retrace his steps.

1050
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:11,840
Now Hunter crosses the line, makes a U-turn, and we've got the third base umpire Jim Evans.

1051
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:14,840
All of the umpires tell Billy, you can't pull that.

1052
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:21,840
Billy tried to make a U-turn. He crossed the line, went about four steps, made a U-turn, headed back toward the diamond.

1053
01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:29,840
All three umpires out on the field converged on Billy, waving him back to the dugout.

1054
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:36,840
Have you seen that before? I never have. He gave me the old pillow and he went for it.

1055
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:47,840
Now he's going to make a pitch here. May stepping in. Humburger still loosening in the bullpen.

1056
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:53,840
Runners at first and third. Here's the set, the pitch to May.

1057
01:31:53,840 --> 01:32:01,840
He swings by ball, hit deep right field, going back is Washington. Near the wall it may be, it's gone, a three run homer for Milt May.

1058
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:09,840
He took advantage of the one pitch that had to be thrown him by George Medich, and the Tigers now lead it six to one.

1059
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:16,840
Here comes May, scoring with his second homerun of the year.

1060
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:26,840
And that's another Superior homerun. A homer by Milt May earns him a free case of those crispy fresh Superior potato chips,

1061
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:32,840
and sends another case of Superior potato chips to the Boniface Community Action Center.

1062
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:37,840
Well, Billy should have taken him out the first time. He knows it now.

1063
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:42,840
He tried to get him out, tried the fly to go back out there, but it didn't work.

1064
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:51,840
He had to have him in to throw one pitch, and Milt May liked what he saw and parked it up into the seats in the right field.

1065
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:54,840
But now the pitching change takes place. Ernie?

1066
01:32:54,840 --> 01:33:01,840
Well, it'll be Humburger, the left hander coming in, and it's been the lower part of the batting order that's done the damage for the Tigers.

1067
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:07,840
With three singles and three chips, he's picked up two RBI's and scored twice.

1068
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:12,840
And Milt May, right behind him, with a single, a double, and a homerun in three chips.

1069
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:19,840
Those two hitters, batting in the number six and seven spots, have six to six.

1070
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:24,840
And they've got six of the eight Tiger hits, the only other Tiger hit from Mankowski's single in the first inning,

1071
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:28,840
and a single by Tramble that's not going to run in the fourth inning.

1072
01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:32,840
Now we'll see Humburger, U-N-B-A-R-J.

1073
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:42,840
In that one outing, he's the left hander taking his shoe up top, right now.

1074
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:50,840
And the Tigers have ripped this one open with a four-run surge in the fifth inning, following the two runs that they scored in the fourth.

1075
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:55,840
They now beat it with six runs on eight hits and no errors.

1076
01:33:55,840 --> 01:34:00,840
The Rangers have one run, three hits, and they've made no errors.

1077
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:02,840
But it was.

1078
01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:30,840
And now, on the Christmas, we know here's the Bob Mitchell Boys Choir and Santa Claus is coming.

1079
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:35,840
The first inning, when Tony Ho was caught stealing in the fourth inning, attempting to steal, that is.

1080
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:37,840
There's the lineup for the first pitch of the inning.

1081
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:40,840
Washington bumped toward first, fielded by Whitaker.

1082
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:44,840
He got him a good play by Sweet Lou, who came in.

1083
01:34:44,840 --> 01:34:47,840
That ball had gotten by Roseman, no chance for David.

1084
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:53,840
And Whitaker came charging in from his position.

1085
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:59,840
Thompson, alertly, remained near the bag at first because he would not have had a play.

1086
01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:01,840
Washington is out.

1087
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:11,840
Let's look at Juan Beníquez now, who's flying to center his first time up.

1088
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:14,840
Beníquez, Hitlers and 10-5ths so far this season.

1089
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:25,840
The pitch from Roseman with low ball one.

1090
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:29,840
Rosy in the aline and getting his sign.

1091
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:31,840
Here's the pitch.

1092
01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:34,840
Low and away, two and all, they count on Beníquez.

1093
01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:43,840
Roseman windmilling his arm as he gets the ball back from Milton Hay.

1094
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:47,840
Kemp is very deep in left field on Beníquez.

1095
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:49,840
More shallow on the right side.

1096
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:50,840
Here's the pitch.

1097
01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:54,840
He squares and takes a strike.

1098
01:35:54,840 --> 01:36:06,840
He was playing deep at third and Phil now will play in a little bit closer on the step back of the bag.

1099
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:11,840
The 2-1 pitch to Beníquez, ball three.

1100
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:19,840
Rosy's had the pitch from behind and with men on base in this ball game with the exception of the first inning.

1101
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:21,840
He hasn't walked anybody so far.

1102
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,840
The 3-1 pitch, swung on a ground ball to short.

1103
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:27,840
Crammo has the hop, guns across to Thompson.

1104
01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:28,840
He got him.

1105
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,840
We're two down and let's pause for station identification.

1106
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:34,840
This is the Detroit Tiger Baseball Network.

1107
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,840
Radio 76, this is WJR Detroit.

1108
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:47,840
Down in Atlanta at the end of two periods of play, the Red Wings lead the Flames 4-1 on three power play goals and a short-handed score by Hexdahl all in the first period.

1109
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,840
Again at the end of two, Detroit 4, Atlanta 1.

1110
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:56,840
Wills, who singled his first time up, stole second and moved on to score a run in the third inning.

1111
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:04,840
He takes one high and outside, ball one.

1112
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:10,840
The wind up by Rosy, the pitch, a tapper foul to the right of the plate.

1113
01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:17,840
The Rangers got their only run in that third when Wills let off of the single, stole second, took third on a bounce out to first,

1114
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:23,840
scored on Hargrove Sacrified Fly to deep center.

1115
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:27,840
Three hits for the Rangers off Rosma.

1116
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:31,840
Rosma is throwing a ball to Crammo and back up at the second base, Humpire.

1117
01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:44,840
I don't quite get why Larry Barnett wants to look at the ball, but apparently he had requested it.

1118
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:52,840
Rosy back of the mound, a 1-1 count. Now on Wills, bases empty, two down, bottom of the fifth inning, sixth door on the Tigers lead.

1119
01:37:52,840 --> 01:38:01,840
Took a called strike. He turned his back on that pitch, but it caught the inside corner.

1120
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:11,840
Hump had a solid season last year with the Rangers in his rookie year, getting 287 in 152 games.

1121
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:17,840
He skips out of the way of an inside delivery.

1122
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:24,840
Not nearly the speed that his father possessed when he still was able to steal 28 bases last year.

1123
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:29,840
He cuts a foul rolling behind to the backstop.

1124
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:40,840
Count remains 2-2 on Bump Wills.

1125
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:47,840
One more here tomorrow night, then move on on a travel day Thursday to Toronto for a three-game weekend series.

1126
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:49,840
Fouls back into the stands. What a count.

1127
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:56,840
Get some stinging hands back up here below our boots.

1128
01:38:56,840 --> 01:39:02,840
Tigers will return home Monday. Actually, come home Sunday night from Toronto.

1129
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:05,840
Take on the White Sox next Monday and Tuesday afternoon.

1130
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:08,840
A little tap off the end of the bat towards third. Mankowski has him on the grab.

1131
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:11,840
High throw pull down by Thompson. Sides retired.

1132
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:20,840
One, two, three. After five innings of play, it's the Tigers six, the Rangers one.

1133
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:24,840
You're batting in the clean-up spot in the Labatt Baseball Trivia game.

1134
01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:26,840
And here's the pitch.

1135
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:30,840
The house that we've built has seen some pretty long grads.

1136
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:35,840
Name one player who has hit a fair ball out of Yankee Stadium.

1137
01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:48,840
Take a little time and think it over and relax with a cool, refreshing Labatt's beer.

1138
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:55,840
If you had a hard time, so did everyone else who tried to hit a fair ball out of Yankee Stadium.

1139
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:58,840
No one ever accomplished that feat.

1140
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:05,840
The Labatt baseball calls for great beer. Labatt. Call for Labatt.

1141
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:11,840
Breeding Canada since 1828. Distributed by Labatt & Porter's, Inc., Buffalo, New York.

1142
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:14,840
For beer at its finest, get your hands on Labatt's.

1143
01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:19,840
It's Canada's number one beer, as fresh and crisp as where it comes from.

1144
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:22,840
This game is being brought to you by Labatt's.

1145
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:24,840
For beer at its finest, call for Labatt's.

1146
01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:28,840
The two people who've got together to do it better.

1147
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:35,840
By the greater Detroit Chrysler Thermofelers who've got horizon motor trends all of the year.

1148
01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:41,840
By Champions butt plugs. You can't buy a better plug than Champions.

1149
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:48,840
By the Detroit News. For the first good news in sports every morning, read the new Detroit News AM edition.

1150
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,840
By City National Bank where you can get combo checking.

1151
01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:54,840
Pizza. A winner any way you slice it.

1152
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:59,840
Now, more Tiger baseball action with Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey.

1153
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:10,840
20-year-old Alan Trammell will lead off a sixth inning for the Tigers.

1154
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:15,840
Detroit in front 6-1 thanks to two runs in the fourth inning and four in the fifth.

1155
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:19,840
Jim Umbarger kicks high and delivers the fastball in for a strike.

1156
01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:26,840
Umbarger came on to get the final out of the fifth inning and induced Lou Whittaker to bounce out the second on one pitch.

1157
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:28,840
Here's the pitch.

1158
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:32,840
That's a ball inside, dear Al.

1159
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:39,840
Trammell is one for two. He's single to home a Tiger run in the fourth inning.

1160
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:42,840
Low for a ball.

1161
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:50,840
Umbarger is 6'6", weighs 200 pounds.

1162
01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:56,840
The 2-1 pitch. Strike. Caught the outside corner.

1163
01:41:56,840 --> 01:42:05,840
Kind of ironic, Umbarger was traded away by the Rangers to Oakland to get Claudell Washington just a year ago in March.

1164
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:10,840
Change up in for a strike. Trammell took it.

1165
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:15,840
Off-speed breaking ball by Umbarger. Beauty.

1166
01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:19,840
One down in the Tiger sixth inning.

1167
01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:25,840
That'll bring up Ron LaFleur who three times has hit the ball to bump wheels at second base.

1168
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:27,840
The pitch to Ron.

1169
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:31,840
Ball inside.

1170
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:38,840
Umbarger, another graduate of Arizona State University into the majors.

1171
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:44,840
There's a ground ball to short. Campaneras bobbles the ball. Picks it up, throws the first, not in time.

1172
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:52,840
We'll wait for the official score on that one. But it was hit right to Campy and he knew he would have to hustle in order to get Ron after he bobbled it.

1173
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:55,840
It'll be an error on Campaneras.

1174
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,840
First error of the ball game.

1175
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:00,840
LaFleur first with one away.

1176
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:03,840
The batter will be Mankowski.

1177
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:10,840
We're seeing the official attendance figure now at Arlington Stadium. 13,764.

1178
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:14,840
Slightly under the crowd of last night when they played the Yankees.

1179
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:27,840
13,764. LaFleur with a big lead is driven back to the bag by a trough over there.

1180
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:33,840
To the tall left hander looking at first he goes. It's swung on and missed the throw by Sundberg. Not in time.

1181
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:37,840
LaFleur in with a stolen base. His second of the year.

1182
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:44,840
And that stolen base by LaFleur will send a $25 gift certificate from Acme Sporting Good to the Detroit Athletic League.

1183
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:54,840
The three Acme stars have more and have it for less.

1184
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:58,840
Mankowski helping out the runner by cutting and missing on that pitch.

1185
01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:12,840
Here's the set by Umberger. The one strike delivery fouled out of a glove of Sundberg off the shin protector it appears.

1186
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:18,840
LaFleur with his second steal of the year perched on second with one away.

1187
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:28,840
Mankowski single in the first inning since bounced out to second and to first.

1188
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:35,840
Still hitting an even 333.

1189
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:39,840
A look to second. Umberger holds. Delivers.

1190
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:44,840
He struck him out. Phil took a look at that one.

1191
01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:53,840
Strike out for Umberger in this inning and it brings up Rusty Stobbs.

1192
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:58,840
Rusty is over two. He walked his last time up.

1193
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:06,840
And scored on Cochran's single.

1194
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:12,840
LaFleur leading at second.

1195
01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:15,840
Set by Umberger. Here's the pitch to Rusty.

1196
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:20,840
There's a call strike on Stobbs.

1197
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:28,840
Rangers traded away Umberger in March and then bought him from the A's in August.

1198
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:34,840
In between he spent some time at San Jose Farm Club of the A's.

1199
01:45:34,840 --> 01:45:38,840
Stobbs a little tired of waiting. Sundberg calls time now and he's going up to the mound.

1200
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:58,840
Maybe cross up on some signs. Thompson waiting on deck for the Tigers.

1201
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:00,840
Now Umberger ready to work.

1202
01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:17,840
Here's the one strike pitch to Stobbs. He cuts in mid-air.

1203
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:22,840
Two outs. LaFleur at second base. A two strike count on Stobbs.

1204
01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:30,840
A pitch from Umberger. Trong on and missed outside. Rusty went fishing. Umberger strikes out the side.

1205
01:46:30,840 --> 01:46:35,840
The Tigers in the sixth. No runs. One error. One man left.

1206
01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:40,840
After five and a half innings it's the Tigers sixth. The Rangers won.

1207
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:46,840
Plymouth announces a breakthrough in American automobiles. New Plymouth Horizon.

1208
01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:53,840
The car you can drive in comfort and confidence on any kind of road.

1209
01:46:53,840 --> 01:47:01,840
Horizon gives you superb traction and stability because it's the first American made car of its size with front wheel drive.

1210
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:09,840
Horizon is loaded with standard features like rack and pinion steering, front disc brake, AM radio, white wall radio tires, and front bucket seats.

1211
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:16,840
And Horizon has improved mileage figures on cars produced since March 6, 1978.

1212
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:24,840
The EPA estimated a manual transmission Horizon without optional air conditioning and power steering at 41 miles per gallon highway 27 city.

1213
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:32,840
Your mileage may differ. Yet Horizon is base price to just $37.06 excluding taxes and destination charges.

1214
01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:39,840
Anytime you want to go anywhere, the Horizon can handle it.

1215
01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:52,840
Now at your grid of Detroit, Chrysler Plymouth dealers.

1216
01:47:52,840 --> 01:48:05,840
Sixth run, the Tigers lead as we move to the bottom of the seventh inning here at Arlington Stadium. Mark Fidrich against John Matlock in game two of the short two game series tomorrow night.

1217
01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:12,840
Tigers come back just one more time to Arlington and that will be in July just before the All-Star break.

1218
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:19,840
The Tigers playing only five games down here.

1219
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:26,840
The line catcher Jim Sunberg to lead it off against Rosie in the sixth inning, only the second time up in the ballgame for Sunberg.

1220
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:36,840
He bounced out other places to Thompson his first time up.

1221
01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:42,840
Wind up by Rose with the pitch to Sunberg.

1222
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:59,840
The Tigers lead talking about Herman Munson and Carlton Fisk and then they'll work in Butch Weinecker and overlook this young man who became a good hitter in the latter stages last year as a foul to the right of the plate.

1223
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:10,840
As good a receiver as you'll find and a great throwing arm.

1224
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:15,840
The Tigers swing to the left side on Sunberg. The two strike pitch from Rosie.

1225
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:18,840
He is called out on strike.

1226
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:21,840
Sunberg looks to the breaking ball that time.

1227
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:27,840
That's the third strikeout for Rosemont.

1228
01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:37,840
Dave has not gone beyond six innings so far this year. Six innings the last couple of times out in spring training.

1229
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:40,840
Dave Mike Hargrove.

1230
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:48,840
0-1 for Mike. He bounced out the first in the first inning then drove in the Rangers' run and the third with a long sacrifice fly.

1231
01:49:48,840 --> 01:50:04,840
In the leadoff spots Hargrove flourished as the leadoff hitter last season. A little low for ball one.

1232
01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:09,840
Strong left hand batter with a career average over 300. There's a line drive.

1233
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:13,840
A one hop knocked down by Weinecker. He picks it up. Got him.

1234
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:20,840
Rue had to play that one off his chest. That ball was tagged and it sank just before reaching Weinecker.

1235
01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:25,840
It hit in front of the glove, came up, bounced off his chest but not too far in front for him to recover.

1236
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:30,840
There are two down on the Rangers' sixth inning.

1237
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:34,840
And that brings up Kampi Kampaneras.

1238
01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:40,840
Rod Laformade, a fine running catch above the shoe tops on a sinking liner from Kampi in the third.

1239
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:51,840
Low ball on Kampaneras.

1240
01:50:51,840 --> 01:50:54,840
Kavich from Rosemont. Ground ball to the left side.

1241
01:50:54,840 --> 01:51:01,840
He's got it. Throws. He got him. And a one, two, three inning again for Rosema after six innings of play.

1242
01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:04,840
It's still the Tigers' sixth. The Rangers' one.

1243
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:13,840
President Carter told America today the high level of oil imports and the increasing rate of inflation are the two major threats to the health of the nation's economy.

1244
01:51:13,840 --> 01:51:21,840
Carter appealed to Americans to battle inflation by voluntarily curbing wage and price increases and the use of foreign oil.

1245
01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:24,840
He rejected resorting to wage and price control rules.

1246
01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:34,840
In Michigan, officials say two bears from Ypsilanti and one from Ann Arbor were killed today when a bus carrying members of the Ypsilanti Bears Club crashed in Georgia.

1247
01:51:34,840 --> 01:51:44,840
Georgia State Police say about 40 other youths and chaperones were injured in the crash, which took place as the group headed for Disney World in Florida.

1248
01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:56,840
State Representative Monty Jorves, who has been convicted on embezzlement charges in an Oakland County Circuit Court, says he will not, in his words, walk away from his job.

1249
01:51:56,840 --> 01:52:21,840
This has been a news update from the WJR Newsroom.

1253
01:52:45,840 --> 01:52:51,840
The Tigers coming to bat here on the top of the seventh inning with a five-run lead, 6-1 over the Texas Rangers.

1254
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:55,840
Jason Thompson to lead it off and back for the play-by-play. Here's Ernie Harwell.

1255
01:52:55,840 --> 01:53:03,840
Thank you, Paul. Here we go now. Jason is stepping in. He scored a run after a walk, but he does not have a hit tonight.

1256
01:53:03,840 --> 01:53:10,840
Humbarger, the tall left-hander, wheels into action and the pitch is a slow curve over for his strike.

1257
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:18,840
Humbarger has been brilliant since he took over. He's about only one runner. That was a lapour reaching first on the Arabai Caponari.

1258
01:53:18,840 --> 01:53:25,840
Strike called a fast ball on the outside corner. He got the first man he pitched to on a bounce-out.

1259
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:32,840
That was Whitaker at the end of the fifth inning, and he struck out everybody in the sixth.

1260
01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:47,840
Tigers lead 6-1 in the seventh. Here's a foul ball right down below it, and the counties strike two.

1261
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:52,840
Cautran and May have faced the Tiger hitting attack with three hits apiece.

1262
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:59,840
One of May's blows is a home run with two men on. Humbarger in the back shit again.

1263
01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:09,840
There's a foul that'll drift back of the Tiger dugout into the seat. The counties still strike two on Jason Thompson.

1264
01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:13,840
Medich started. He went four and two-thirds innings. Humbarger came on to the fifth.

1265
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:20,840
Rose must have been in there all the way for the Tigers.

1266
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:25,840
Humbarger checking his sign. Works again. The pitch. Jason takes the curve outside.

1267
01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:29,840
Texas scored first. They got a run in the third on a single by Wills.

1268
01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:35,840
Easto second went to third on the bounce-out and came home with a sacrifice by Hargrove.

1269
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:40,840
Then the Tigers got two in the fourth and four runs in the fifth inning.

1270
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:47,840
Wind up the pitch. He swings and misses. That's another strikeout for Humbarger.

1271
01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:53,840
Here's fourth. Steve Kemp will be the hitter.

1272
01:54:53,840 --> 01:55:04,840
The Tigers got two in the fourth inning on a walk to Thompson. A single by Clarkland.

1273
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:08,840
After Thompson went to second on a bounce-out by Kemp, scored him.

1274
01:55:08,840 --> 01:55:13,840
And then May doubled and Trammel knocked the run in with a single.

1275
01:55:13,840 --> 01:55:18,840
Then May hit a three-run homer to spark the fifth inning. There's a strike call on Kemp.

1276
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:25,840
Four of the three-run homer by May in that fifth. Two walks and a single by Clarkland that scored a run.

1277
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:30,840
Here's the strike one that had been. It is a ball outside.

1278
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:39,840
Humbarger with a new confidence this year. He belonged to Texas and went to Oakland and the Rangers got him back.

1279
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:44,840
Swing and a foul fly lifted out of play. Swung late. The ball drifting in the left field seat.

1280
01:55:44,840 --> 01:55:49,840
One and two, the count on Kemp.

1281
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:54,840
Walks hurt Maddett. He walked four men and three of those that scored runs.

1282
01:55:54,840 --> 01:56:03,840
Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss. There's another strikeout. Humbarger blowing them down.

1283
01:56:03,840 --> 01:56:08,840
Five strikeouts. The last five men retired and then out on strike.

1284
01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:17,840
Ernie, we checked the rule book and I was in error earlier when Billy Hunter wanted to change pitchers while Milt May was batting.

1285
01:56:17,840 --> 01:56:24,840
I said he had to throw one pitch. He cannot make a second trip while the same batter is batting.

1286
01:56:24,840 --> 01:56:29,840
There's a pitch in too close and he hits Clarkland with a change up pitch.

1287
01:56:29,840 --> 01:56:35,840
And May will be the batter now. He has a perfect night, a single, a double, and a homerun.

1288
01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:46,840
The wording in the rule book says the manager or coach is prohibited from making a second visit to the mound while the same batter is at bat.

1289
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:51,840
So it's not a matter of one pitch at all.

1290
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:56,840
Well here's Milt taking a practice cut. He's had a big night at the plate.

1291
01:56:56,840 --> 01:57:03,840
Milt drove in five runs last year in a game against Seattle. He's driven in three in this game.

1292
01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:09,840
Kuygas laid him six to one. It's the seventh inning in Texas.

1293
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:11,840
Swinging a bounding ball to second.

1294
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:15,840
Milt has it. Here's the flip over to Hargrove and the side retired.

1295
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:18,840
The first time that May has been out in the game.

1296
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:27,840
No runs, no hits, no errors, one man left. We go to the last half of the seventh inning. The Kuygas six and the Ragers one.

1297
01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:35,840
When an oil well comes in, it's a big deal. Maybe not exactly like you've seen in the movies, but it's a big deal.

1298
01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:44,840
Approximately nine out of ten exploratory wells build with dry holes. So when you hit one after all that time, money, and sweat, it's really something.

1299
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:48,840
It's a big deal even though a lot of the oil you've discovered will never get out of the ground.

1300
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:52,840
You see traditional methods still leave a lot of the oil in the ground.

1301
01:57:52,840 --> 01:58:01,840
But now Marathon's developed the Marathon process, designed to get a lot more oil out of existing wells, oil you could never get before.

1302
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:09,840
Marathon invested a lot of earnings over the last few years to make the Marathon process happen, because it's another way of doing it better.

1303
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:27,840
We got together, we got together, we got together to do it better.

1304
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:42,840
And we did it.

1305
01:58:57,840 --> 01:59:16,840
While the folks here at the stadium in Arlington standing the old seventh inning stretch is underway, the Tigers have six runs and eight hits to nowhere.

1306
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:22,840
The Rangers one run, three hits, and one error. Roachman's gone all the way for the Tigers.

1307
01:59:22,840 --> 01:59:27,840
Medich started for the Rangers and Humbarga relieved him in the fifth inning.

1308
01:59:27,840 --> 01:59:34,840
The Yankees lost tonight in their game in Milwaukee. The Milwaukee Brewers continue to do some heavy bombing.

1309
01:59:34,840 --> 01:59:38,840
They got nine runs on 11 hits and beat the Yankees nine to six.

1310
01:59:38,840 --> 01:59:43,840
Chicago whip Dorado today nine to five. Seattle to Oakland, no report on that one.

1311
01:59:43,840 --> 01:59:51,840
We've got the pitchers now, Paul against Browberg. Minnesota to California, no report, but the pitchers are Erickson and Gastonci.

1312
01:59:51,840 --> 02:00:04,840
In the National League, the Cubs beat New York 4-2, Montreal, Philadelphia rained out, San Diego defeated Atlanta 3-2, and San Francisco leading Cincinnati 3-2 in the eighth inning.

1313
02:00:04,840 --> 02:00:17,840
Houston leads Los Angeles 1-0 in the last half of the eighth. Here's Al Oliver at the plate, and he swings and misses on a Roachman changeup.

1314
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:25,840
Oliver has bounced a second and had a bump single, one of the three hits off Rosie.

1315
02:00:25,840 --> 02:00:36,840
It's a ball low in the dirt, one and one.

1316
02:00:36,840 --> 02:00:48,840
Outfield straight away on the former Pittsburgh Pirate Al Oliver. Left hand about a-waiting, he takes the ball outside.

1317
02:00:48,840 --> 02:01:06,840
Humbugger has been super sharp in relief, relieving Medics. Roachman pitching on the mound right now has been in there for the full distance. There's a foul fly on the third base side and a county 2-2 on Oliver.

1318
02:01:06,840 --> 02:01:20,840
13,764 of the state attendance this evening. So again tomorrow the Tigers send Cedric to the mound against Natalyn. Bounding ball up the middle under the glove of Roachman.

1319
02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:43,840
A sharp ground single in the second. Oliver gets his second hit here, Ricky's hit now with a double and a fly to right. Roachman facing the heavy part of Billy Hunter's batting order.

1320
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:51,840
And the Tigers start to get their bullpen stirring a little bit. Hiller and Foucault begin to heat up.

1321
02:01:51,840 --> 02:02:12,840
Down in the left field corner. Outfield bending around the left on this. One of the power hitters in midgeting baseball, Ricky Ziss. Oliver at first base not taking much of a lead and the pitch is in too close on Ricky.

1322
02:02:12,840 --> 02:02:23,840
Thompson holding over there with Oliver at first base. Tigers lead 6-1 it's the seventh inning. Opening game of the two game set down here in Texas.

1323
02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:32,840
Now Rosie checks out his time with Milkma a real low back of the plate. Bounding ball to third maybe to Mankowski and a wet at the one relay to Thompson.

1324
02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:47,840
Double play for the Tigers. Two for the play to one on the hard bound to Mankowski off the bat of Ziss. Two out nobody on that will bring up Toby Hara.

1325
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:59,840
Toby with a fly to right he's headed into fourth out to the second base. Most of the time, Roachman's been getting the opposition to hit the ball into the dirt.

1326
02:02:59,840 --> 02:03:08,840
Fly ball is the one that Ziss lifted to right field back in the fourth inning.

1327
02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:25,840
Right hander against the right handed. Hara cuts and misses on the fast ball toward the outside.

1328
02:03:25,840 --> 02:03:38,840
Rosie ready delivers it is a ball into close. All of them appreciate the message from Mr. Bob Sullivan. Tigers scout in Grand Rapids.

1329
02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:51,840
The ever alert Mr. Sullivan there's a ball outside two and one and mentor of the man on the mound. Absolutely. Imagine he's thoroughly tuned into this one.

1330
02:03:51,840 --> 02:04:00,840
Tigers lead six to one seven inning two out none on the Rangers.

1331
02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:07,840
Well, Roachman is taking a little more time looks to get his side. Here's the motion in the pitch.

1332
02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:12,840
Swing at a bounding ball up the middle and may get through with a good deep grab at the second corner Thompson.

1333
02:04:12,840 --> 02:04:21,840
He got it. What a play by Lou. He caught that ball in short center field. A hard grounder up the middle and takes a hit away from Hara.

1334
02:04:21,840 --> 02:04:35,840
Good stall but in the dirt and Thompson had to scoop it up. No runs. One hit. No errors. Nobody left. At the end of seven in Texas Tigers six Rangers won.

1335
02:04:35,840 --> 02:04:44,840
I got a piece on my fingers. I'm always under the hood. But it wouldn't change places with anyone else. Even if I could.

1336
02:04:44,840 --> 02:04:51,840
I've worked on every car big and small. Every kind of engine too. There's one thing that applies to them all. Whether they're old or new.

1337
02:04:51,840 --> 02:05:00,840
You can't buy better cars than champions. You can't buy better cars than that.

1338
02:05:00,840 --> 02:05:09,840
Champions are number one in the world. They're number one in your car. Some folks don't mind working in a big place. Being part of a team.

1339
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:22,840
I prefer just me and that engine. Nobody in between. You can't buy better cars than champions. You can't buy better cars no matter where you are than champions.

1340
02:05:22,840 --> 02:05:36,840
Champions are number one in the world. They're number one in your car. No you can't buy better cars for any kind of car than champions. You can't buy better cars no matter where you are than champions. No you can't.

1341
02:05:36,840 --> 02:05:51,840
Radio 76 salutes Detroit Pistons captain Bob Lemire recently awarded the 1978 Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award for his outstanding humanitarian achievements in our community.

1342
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:56,840
Let's follow up the station identification. This is the Detroit Tiger baseball network.

1343
02:05:56,840 --> 02:06:05,840
This is WJR Detroit. Now with less than ten minutes to play in the third period the Flames have scored twice and have moved to within one of the wings.

1344
02:06:05,840 --> 02:06:12,840
Right now it's Detroit four, the Atlanta Flames three.

1345
02:06:12,840 --> 02:06:22,840
Here's Whitaker facing Umbarga and he bounced and misses. Strike one on blue made that brilliant play to end the seventh inning for Texas.

1346
02:06:22,840 --> 02:06:29,840
At the plate Whitaker has walked, bounced short, grounded the second base. 0 for 2.

1347
02:06:29,840 --> 02:06:46,840
He's trying very close on him at third. Umbarga pitches, here's a cut and a miss. Ball dipping down and away and he was fooled by it. Umbarga's fooled them all so far.

1348
02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:57,840
Wind up, he delivers, here's a bounding ball back to Umbarga, scoops it up, flips it over to first to Hargrove and there's one up and one away in the Tiger eighth inning.

1349
02:06:57,840 --> 02:07:07,840
Umbarga came on in the fifth inning, he's allowed only two runners. LaFleur was safe on the air by Campanaris.

1350
02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:19,840
Corcoran was hit by a pitch. Here's Alan Tramble who has fly to right single, drove in a run, his first RBI in his major league career and taken the call third strike.

1351
02:07:19,840 --> 02:07:32,840
Slow curve over, Umbarga brilliant the way he's changing his speed here. Now Kicks high and delivers, here's the fast ball outside.

1352
02:07:32,840 --> 02:07:48,840
He got Tramble in the sixth inning on a big change up. Tigers lead 6 to 1 in the eighth. Change curve ball fouled away into the Tiger dugout.

1353
02:07:48,840 --> 02:08:01,840
One ball, two strikes on young Mr. Tramble. Medich started and gave up all the runs. Now time call by Plano Parmelo.

1354
02:08:01,840 --> 02:08:10,840
I feel he's shallow on Tramble, infield is back. Here it comes, he takes the wide one, that's got away from Umbarga.

1355
02:08:10,840 --> 02:08:25,840
2-2 the counter now. Hawthorne with two RBI, May with three and Tramble with one. There's a fly ball that will drift fouled in the seat just behind the Texas bullpen in the right field corner.

1356
02:08:25,840 --> 02:08:40,840
The wind is picking up now, it's bringing in a little cool air with it.

1357
02:08:40,840 --> 02:08:48,840
Here's the motion, the left-hander deals a change up, hit in the air to center. Benekis is there, he one-hands it.

1358
02:08:48,840 --> 02:08:58,840
And that's two down in the Tiger eighth inning. Ron LaFleur without a hit, he bounced three times to second and once to short.

1359
02:08:58,840 --> 02:09:03,840
And the last time up when he hit the ground ball to short there was an error by Campanera.

1360
02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:21,840
The Tigers with a lead in the eighth inning by five runs, six to one. It's a ball outside, ball one.

1361
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:27,840
Swing a little loop in the right center might drop in, going back is Wills, got his glove on it, can't hang on.

1362
02:09:27,840 --> 02:09:35,840
And it'll be a single for LaFleur, great effort by Bump Wills. He managed to get his glove on the ball and that was all.

1363
02:09:35,840 --> 02:09:45,840
Oh the Tigers get another hit, that'll be their night.

1364
02:09:45,840 --> 02:09:52,840
And here's Mankowski, it is the first hit allowed by Armbarger.

1365
02:09:52,840 --> 02:10:06,840
Mankowski got the first hit off Medich, a single in the first inning.

1366
02:10:06,840 --> 02:10:17,840
LaFleur with an edge at first base gets back. Ron had a stolen base in the sixth inning.

1367
02:10:17,840 --> 02:10:22,840
Now he's got a longer lead over there first, harder of holding on the bag with him.

1368
02:10:22,840 --> 02:10:28,840
And they get back. There's a quick flip by Armbarger, drives him in that direction.

1369
02:10:28,840 --> 02:10:33,840
To Marty Springstead right over the back of first base on top of the play.

1370
02:10:33,840 --> 02:10:37,840
Mankowski waiting at the plate.

1371
02:10:37,840 --> 02:10:41,840
Another throw to first, LaFleur back safely.

1372
02:10:41,840 --> 02:10:49,840
Six runs, nine hits for the Tigers. One run, four hits for the Rangers.

1373
02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:55,840
LaFleur goes back again and this time made it a little more easily.

1374
02:10:55,840 --> 02:10:58,840
Single game here tomorrow night, we hope you'll join us.

1375
02:10:58,840 --> 02:11:05,840
Matlock will pitch for Texas. The bird pittered for the Tigers. Here's a strike call.

1376
02:11:05,840 --> 02:11:12,840
Almost a quick pitch that time. I think the Tigers are going to complain that it was a walk or either a quick pitch,

1377
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:21,840
but they're not getting anywhere with Umpar Mero.

1378
02:11:21,840 --> 02:11:24,840
Track one count on Mankowski.

1379
02:11:24,840 --> 02:11:32,840
Again, LaFleur lengthens his lead at first base. Does not go. It's a pitch out, but no movement.

1380
02:11:32,840 --> 02:11:37,840
One and one. All the Tigers scoring came in the fourth and fifth inning.

1381
02:11:37,840 --> 02:11:45,840
Two in the fourth, four in the fifth. The Rangers' run scored in the third inning.

1382
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:51,840
Now the set and the fifth. He swings a rounding ball up the middle. There goes Kapaneris.

1383
02:11:51,840 --> 02:11:56,840
He has it flipped it over to first and Mankowski is out to retire the side.

1384
02:11:56,840 --> 02:12:01,840
No runs on one hit. No errors. One man left. We go to the last half, eighth inning in Texas.

1385
02:12:01,840 --> 02:12:06,840
The Tigers sixth. Rangers won.

1386
02:12:06,840 --> 02:12:15,840
Well, I know that you parents and you youngsters are all interested in what gift days the Tigers have in store for you here in the 1978 season.

1387
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:18,840
And let me tell you, there are free gift days on the docket.

1388
02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:23,840
Free jacket day on June 4th when the Minnesota Twins will be in town.

1389
02:12:23,840 --> 02:12:27,840
Free helmet day on July 23rd when the Angels are visiting.

1390
02:12:27,840 --> 02:12:33,840
And free t-shirt day on August 6th when the Chicago White Sox come to Tiger Stadium.

1391
02:12:33,840 --> 02:12:40,840
On gift days at Tiger Stadium, every boy and girl 14 or under entering on a gift day full price ticket,

1392
02:12:40,840 --> 02:12:48,840
whether a $6 box seat, $5 reserve, 3 1⁄2 general admission, or $2 bleacher seat ticket, will be given the gift of that day.

1393
02:12:48,840 --> 02:12:57,840
Remember it's jacket day June 4th when the Minnesota Twins, helmet day July 23rd with California visiting,

1394
02:12:57,840 --> 02:13:13,840
and t-shirt day August 6th with the White Sox opposing the Tigers.

1395
02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:19,840
To Rosmar, ready to deal him in in the last half of the eighth inning, he's working on a 6 to 1 lead now.

1396
02:13:19,840 --> 02:13:24,840
Rosie has struck out three, he's not walking anybody, and he's given up a total of four hits.

1397
02:13:24,840 --> 02:13:30,840
The only run came on a leadoff single by Wills and the third he stole second.

1398
02:13:30,840 --> 02:13:37,840
Went to third base on a bounce out and then came home on a sacrifice line.

1399
02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:44,840
Rosmar pitches very much like Fidrick, he likes to get the ball over and he keeps it down.

1400
02:13:44,840 --> 02:13:50,840
As he vans the old Dodger right hander, he used to say that he would just throw the ball over and he needed,

1401
02:13:50,840 --> 02:13:55,840
it didn't bother him too much whether the pitch was inside or outside, he'd aim for the center of the plate

1402
02:13:55,840 --> 02:13:59,840
and then let the little variance take care of itself.

1403
02:13:59,840 --> 02:14:04,840
Here's Claudel Washington, 0 for 2, he struck out and bounced to second base.

1404
02:14:04,840 --> 02:14:12,840
The Reds had better cut some misses on a high hard one.

1405
02:14:12,840 --> 02:14:18,840
Oliver has two of the hits off Rosmar, one for Zisk and one for Wills.

1406
02:14:18,840 --> 02:14:28,840
There's the slider over but low and they count his one and one on Claudel.

1407
02:14:28,840 --> 02:14:34,840
The shut-stop travel moved over to his left now near his second base, the outfield straight up.

1408
02:14:34,840 --> 02:14:43,840
The breaking ball stays low and outside on Washington, 2 and 1.

1409
02:14:43,840 --> 02:14:47,840
Thompson deep at first, fairly near the line, here's the pitch.

1410
02:14:47,840 --> 02:14:52,840
It is wide, the ball three, Rosy's fast ball didn't hit the target.

1411
02:14:52,840 --> 02:14:59,840
To get the scoreboard show tonight, Paul Carey will have all the details of the major league action for you.

1412
02:14:59,840 --> 02:15:10,840
There's a ball high, it's the first walk off Rosmar, as again he seemed to be forcing himself there.

1413
02:15:10,840 --> 02:15:18,840
Here's Benekis stepping up and we've got a nice league final for him.

1414
02:15:18,840 --> 02:15:25,840
Houston, LA, one to nothing, a two-hitter by Richards, Putin takes the loss.

1415
02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:34,840
One run, five hits for Houston, no runs, two hits for Los Angeles.

1416
02:15:34,840 --> 02:15:42,840
That's Houston's first win of the season.

1417
02:15:42,840 --> 02:15:53,840
And down first, that's Washington, Tigers get their bullpen busy again, Foucault and Hiller up for the second time tonight.

1418
02:15:53,840 --> 02:16:02,840
Rosmar delivers, here's a tap, a hit off his foot and the ball bounced down to his third base.

1419
02:16:02,840 --> 02:16:07,840
Tigers got two in the fourth inning, now the third in Fitcher-Medich.

1420
02:16:07,840 --> 02:16:16,840
A walk to Thompson, a bounce out, a single by Cochran got him home, a double by May sent Cochran to third,

1421
02:16:16,840 --> 02:16:21,840
and then Trammell scored him with a single for the Tigers' first two.

1422
02:16:21,840 --> 02:16:25,840
There's a ball low to Benekis, one and one.

1423
02:16:25,840 --> 02:16:32,840
Then the Tigers broke it open in the fifth inning on a one-out walk to Stav, a two-out walk to Kemp,

1424
02:16:32,840 --> 02:16:39,840
a single by Cochran got one in and then May hit a three-run homer to Clomax at four-run third.

1425
02:16:39,840 --> 02:16:42,840
Here's the pitch, he swings and misses.

1426
02:16:42,840 --> 02:16:48,840
That was the slider down around the knee, one and two of the common Benekis.

1427
02:16:48,840 --> 02:16:55,840
Texas has left only one runner on, the Tigers have left eight stranded.

1428
02:16:55,840 --> 02:17:02,840
Washington with a fair-sized lead at first base, Eastlake conservative with a five-run deficit.

1429
02:17:02,840 --> 02:17:06,840
Bounding ball toward the deep short over those Trammell has hit over the Whitaker for one,

1430
02:17:06,840 --> 02:17:08,840
that's all they'll get, good play by Trammell.

1431
02:17:08,840 --> 02:17:14,840
He went deep in the hole and handled the ball neatly, but they didn't have time to get two.

1432
02:17:14,840 --> 02:17:23,840
Benekis is at first, fourth at second base is Washington, and the battle will be Bump Will,

1433
02:17:23,840 --> 02:17:26,840
who has scored the only run for Texas.

1434
02:17:26,840 --> 02:17:42,840
Bump says his dad didn't help him a whole lot until after he got into the major league.

1435
02:17:42,840 --> 02:17:45,840
That Maury has thought of letting him alone, let him go on his own for a while.

1436
02:17:45,840 --> 02:17:48,840
There's a bonnet tip that he misses to strike one.

1437
02:17:48,840 --> 02:17:54,840
One shotting left-hander against Roseland.

1438
02:17:54,840 --> 02:18:01,840
Mankowski in very close on him at third base.

1439
02:18:01,840 --> 02:18:06,840
Now the set, the pitch, it is a cut and a miss.

1440
02:18:06,840 --> 02:18:11,840
And we've got another final, San Francisco hung on to beat Cincinnati.

1441
02:18:11,840 --> 02:18:18,840
At number three to two, LaBelle the winter, Tomlin takes the loss.

1442
02:18:18,840 --> 02:18:23,840
Evans and Whitfield had home runs, so did Clark.

1443
02:18:23,840 --> 02:18:30,840
There's a chopper foul down past first base.

1444
02:18:30,840 --> 02:18:34,840
That makes the Giants now three and one for the year,

1445
02:18:34,840 --> 02:18:42,840
and Cincinnati takes its first loss of the season.

1446
02:18:42,840 --> 02:18:49,840
Los Angeles taking its first loss, that means that Milwaukee is the only unbeaten team now in the major league.

1447
02:18:49,840 --> 02:18:55,840
Here's a ball going outside.

1448
02:18:55,840 --> 02:19:01,840
Milwaukee off to a hot start, they beat the Yanks tonight, that's four and all for the Brewers.

1449
02:19:01,840 --> 02:19:05,840
They've done it with big bats, but they got held under ten runs tonight.

1450
02:19:05,840 --> 02:19:09,840
Yeah, moral victory for the Yankee pitching staff.

1451
02:19:09,840 --> 02:19:14,840
Here's the step, the pitch, foul out of play.

1452
02:19:14,840 --> 02:19:17,840
One and two to count on him.

1453
02:19:17,840 --> 02:19:23,840
Bump Wills about here, we're in the eighth inning, the Tigers have a lead six to one over the Rangers.

1454
02:19:23,840 --> 02:19:29,840
The Rangers have added about a little over 5,000 seats to the capacity here in this ballpark.

1455
02:19:29,840 --> 02:19:33,840
They've built an upper deck behind the plate.

1456
02:19:33,840 --> 02:19:38,840
Line shot, they set the field, he reached out, that looked like a hanging curve to me,

1457
02:19:38,840 --> 02:19:45,840
and he reached out at about an eye-high pitch and ripped it over the second base.

1458
02:19:45,840 --> 02:19:50,840
Wills gets his second hit, and the Rangers have two men on.

1459
02:19:50,840 --> 02:19:58,840
They trail six to one in the eighth inning, there's one man down, and the batter will be Jim Sunberg.

1460
02:19:58,840 --> 02:20:00,840
First outing for the Ros negotiations.

1461
02:20:00,840 --> 02:20:04,840
That's pulled off right away, 2-2, frames and 10 majority seats,

1462
02:20:04,840 --> 02:20:09,840
but that will be a good box going away by 1 and 2 points.

1463
02:20:09,840 --> 02:20:13,840
The Rangers starting down today, anyway.

1464
02:20:13,840 --> 02:20:14,840
to one in the eighth inning.

1465
02:20:14,840 --> 02:20:15,840
There's one man down and the

1466
02:20:15,840 --> 02:20:17,840
batter will be Jim Sunberg.

1467
02:20:25,840 --> 02:20:27,840
First outing for Roseman.

1468
02:20:32,840 --> 02:20:33,840
And he pitched only 20 innings

1469
02:20:33,840 --> 02:20:34,840
this spring.

1470
02:20:35,840 --> 02:20:37,840
Last time he worked was on the

1471
02:20:37,840 --> 02:20:38,840
eighth or the fourth at

1472
02:20:38,840 --> 02:20:39,840
Columbus against Cincinnati.

1473
02:20:39,840 --> 02:20:42,840
When he went six innings.

1474
02:20:43,840 --> 02:20:45,840
He's got work to hold off this

1475
02:20:45,840 --> 02:20:47,840
season. There's a strike call.

1476
02:20:51,840 --> 02:20:52,840
Tigers keeping that bullpen

1477
02:20:52,840 --> 02:20:53,840
active.

1478
02:20:55,840 --> 02:20:57,840
And the breeze getting a little

1479
02:20:57,840 --> 02:20:58,840
stronger blowing in that cool

1480
02:20:58,840 --> 02:21:00,840
air from Sutterfield.

1481
02:21:02,840 --> 02:21:04,840
Two men on one man down.

1482
02:21:04,840 --> 02:21:06,840
High pop up. Back of short.

1483
02:21:06,840 --> 02:21:07,840
The infield play rule is now

1484
02:21:07,840 --> 02:21:08,840
in vogue.

1485
02:21:08,840 --> 02:21:09,840
Campbell is under the ball.

1486
02:21:09,840 --> 02:21:10,840
Makes the catch.

1487
02:21:13,840 --> 02:21:14,840
That'll make it two down.

1488
02:21:15,840 --> 02:21:17,840
And the bring up the top of the

1489
02:21:17,840 --> 02:21:18,840
order hard road.

1490
02:21:19,840 --> 02:21:20,840
Here's a fellow who goes to all

1491
02:21:20,840 --> 02:21:21,840
kind of generations.

1492
02:21:22,840 --> 02:21:23,840
Very much like Harry the Hat

1493
02:21:23,840 --> 02:21:24,840
Walker used to.

1494
02:21:29,840 --> 02:21:30,840
This is a tough one.

1495
02:21:30,840 --> 02:21:33,840
He's got to be a tough guy.

1496
02:21:36,840 --> 02:21:37,840
Fixed up the dirt.

1497
02:21:37,840 --> 02:21:38,840
Takes a couple of swings.

1498
02:21:40,840 --> 02:21:41,840
And he'll step back and then

1499
02:21:41,840 --> 02:21:43,840
he'll pull with his batting

1500
02:21:43,840 --> 02:21:44,840
helmet.

1501
02:21:45,840 --> 02:21:48,840
And he'll not get any spikes.

1502
02:21:51,840 --> 02:21:52,840
Hold his batting glove.

1503
02:21:56,840 --> 02:21:57,840
Almost by the numbers.

1504
02:21:57,840 --> 02:21:58,840
Left hand about already.

1505
02:21:59,840 --> 02:22:00,840
Two on and two out.

1506
02:22:01,840 --> 02:22:02,840
Rosie steps and pitches.

1507
02:22:03,840 --> 02:22:04,840
It's a strike.

1508
02:22:04,840 --> 02:22:05,840
He got a slider across.

1509
02:22:08,840 --> 02:22:10,840
Matter of semantics but Rosemar

1510
02:22:10,840 --> 02:22:11,840
throws a slider instead of the

1511
02:22:11,840 --> 02:22:12,840
curve.

1512
02:22:15,840 --> 02:22:17,840
Most baseball people referred

1513
02:22:17,840 --> 02:22:18,840
almost any breaking pitch.

1514
02:22:18,840 --> 02:22:19,840
Those are curved.

1515
02:22:19,840 --> 02:22:20,840
There's a ball low.

1516
02:22:20,840 --> 02:22:21,840
One on one.

1517
02:22:23,840 --> 02:22:24,840
That is in a general shot of the

1518
02:22:24,840 --> 02:22:25,840
way.

1519
02:22:25,840 --> 02:22:26,840
One and one now the count on

1520
02:22:26,840 --> 02:22:27,840
Hargrove.

1521
02:22:28,840 --> 02:22:30,840
Two on two out Tigers lead six

1522
02:22:30,840 --> 02:22:31,840
to one Texas fighting in the

1523
02:22:31,840 --> 02:22:32,840
eighth inning.

1524
02:22:32,840 --> 02:22:34,840
First of a two game set down

1525
02:22:34,840 --> 02:22:35,840
here in Arlington.

1526
02:22:36,840 --> 02:22:37,840
Here it comes.

1527
02:22:37,840 --> 02:22:38,840
He swings at a batting ball right

1528
02:22:38,840 --> 02:22:39,840
at first.

1529
02:22:39,840 --> 02:22:40,840
Thompson.

1530
02:22:40,840 --> 02:22:41,840
It's bounce away from him and

1531
02:22:41,840 --> 02:22:42,840
the bases are loaded.

1532
02:22:45,840 --> 02:22:47,840
That's all bobbled by Thompson.

1533
02:22:48,840 --> 02:22:49,840
Off his step.

1534
02:22:49,840 --> 02:22:50,840
Bounce almost all the way to

1535
02:22:50,840 --> 02:22:51,840
second base.

1536
02:22:51,840 --> 02:22:52,840
It'll be an arrow charge to

1537
02:22:52,840 --> 02:22:53,840
Jason.

1538
02:22:53,840 --> 02:22:55,840
That's the first Tiger missed

1539
02:22:55,840 --> 02:22:57,840
few of the game and sets up a

1540
02:22:57,840 --> 02:22:59,840
base is loaded situation with

1541
02:22:59,840 --> 02:23:00,840
cap and there is you up next.

1542
02:23:03,840 --> 02:23:04,840
So what would have been the

1543
02:23:04,840 --> 02:23:08,840
third out and said loads of bases

1544
02:23:08,840 --> 02:23:09,840
here.

1545
02:23:11,840 --> 02:23:13,840
And let's see nobody's come out

1546
02:23:13,840 --> 02:23:15,840
of the dugout yet for Texas.

1547
02:23:17,840 --> 02:23:18,840
Billy Hunter may want to use a

1548
02:23:18,840 --> 02:23:19,840
punch at it.

1549
02:23:19,840 --> 02:23:21,840
Billy Hunter may want to use a

1550
02:23:21,840 --> 02:23:22,840
punch at it.

1551
02:23:26,840 --> 02:23:28,840
Nobody out of that dugout.

1552
02:23:32,840 --> 02:23:34,840
The block I believe is over

1553
02:23:34,840 --> 02:23:36,840
there getting a bat now.

1554
02:23:40,840 --> 02:23:41,840
It looks like dirty Kurt's going

1555
02:23:41,840 --> 02:23:42,840
to come out.

1556
02:23:43,840 --> 02:23:44,840
Yesterday.

1557
02:23:47,840 --> 02:23:48,840
He's at the on deck.

1558
02:23:48,840 --> 02:23:49,840
He's still adjusting his

1559
02:23:49,840 --> 02:23:50,840
batting.

1560
02:23:52,840 --> 02:23:55,840
I can see whether it's been in

1561
02:23:55,840 --> 02:23:57,840
action so far this year.

1562
02:23:58,840 --> 02:23:59,840
He has one game.

1563
02:24:00,840 --> 02:24:01,840
It's a long scene.

1564
02:24:02,840 --> 02:24:03,840
Oh it's going to be a long

1565
02:24:03,840 --> 02:24:04,840
I beg your pardon.

1566
02:24:06,840 --> 02:24:08,840
And he has not been in action.

1567
02:24:09,840 --> 02:24:11,840
John Lawrence the former

1568
02:24:11,840 --> 02:24:13,840
Cleveland Indian player has not

1569
02:24:13,840 --> 02:24:15,840
been in action so far.

1570
02:24:15,840 --> 02:24:16,840
He's been in action.

1571
02:24:18,840 --> 02:24:20,840
This will be his first time up

1572
02:24:20,840 --> 02:24:21,840
as a Ranger.

1573
02:24:27,840 --> 02:24:28,840
With Cleveland last year he

1574
02:24:28,840 --> 02:24:30,840
batted two forty two.

1575
02:24:32,840 --> 02:24:33,840
Lawrence is batting for

1576
02:24:33,840 --> 02:24:45,840
the first time.

1577
02:24:46,840 --> 02:24:47,840
That's kind of out of the play

1578
02:24:47,840 --> 02:24:49,840
Roseman trouble now the bases

1579
02:24:49,840 --> 02:24:50,840
are loaded.

1580
02:24:54,840 --> 02:24:56,840
Eighth inning Tigers lead six

1581
02:24:56,840 --> 02:24:57,840
to one.

1582
02:24:57,840 --> 02:24:58,840
They are two down.

1583
02:24:58,840 --> 02:25:01,840
Texas got to get back in this

1584
02:25:01,840 --> 02:25:02,840
one.

1585
02:25:02,840 --> 02:25:04,840
Rose has gone all the way.

1586
02:25:07,840 --> 02:25:09,840
Let's stand about in John

1587
02:25:09,840 --> 02:25:11,840
Lawrence been at the plate and

1588
02:25:11,840 --> 02:25:12,840
he takes a strike.

1589
02:25:12,840 --> 02:25:14,840
That ball over that was about

1590
02:25:20,840 --> 02:25:21,840
Thirty one year old veteran

1591
02:25:21,840 --> 02:25:22,840
Lawrence.

1592
02:25:22,840 --> 02:25:23,840
The first thing.

1593
02:25:28,840 --> 02:25:30,840
Now that and the pitch he

1594
02:25:30,840 --> 02:25:32,840
swings as a fly ball to right.

1595
02:25:33,840 --> 02:25:35,840
Not the court then there has it

1596
02:25:35,840 --> 02:25:37,840
and the inning is over.

1597
02:25:37,840 --> 02:25:39,840
The Rangers threatened but they

1598
02:25:39,840 --> 02:25:40,840
cannot score.

1599
02:25:43,840 --> 02:25:45,840
No runs on the one hit a walk

1600
02:25:45,840 --> 02:25:47,840
one error three runners on left

1601
02:25:47,840 --> 02:25:48,840
on the base.

1602
02:25:48,840 --> 02:25:49,840
We go to the ninth inning in

1603
02:25:49,840 --> 02:25:52,840
the game.

1604
02:25:52,840 --> 02:25:54,840
The Tigers six Rangers one.

1605
02:25:57,840 --> 02:25:58,840
The Detroit Red Wings have just

1606
02:25:58,840 --> 02:26:00,840
won their first Stanley Cup

1607
02:26:00,840 --> 02:26:01,840
playoff game in Atlanta

1608
02:26:01,840 --> 02:26:02,840
defeating the Flames five to

1609
02:26:02,840 --> 02:26:04,840
three on a last second open net

1610
02:26:04,840 --> 02:26:06,840
goal by Andre Saint Laurent

1611
02:26:06,840 --> 02:26:08,840
again final score Detroit five

1612
02:26:08,840 --> 02:26:09,840
Atlanta three.

1613
02:26:13,840 --> 02:26:16,840
Jim Mason goes to shortstop now

1614
02:26:16,840 --> 02:26:17,840
for the Rangers the Tigers

1615
02:26:17,840 --> 02:26:19,840
have a lead over the Rangers by

1616
02:26:19,840 --> 02:26:20,840
a score of six to one.

1617
02:26:24,840 --> 02:26:26,840
Caught them with two RBI May

1618
02:26:26,840 --> 02:26:28,840
with three on a home run and

1619
02:26:28,840 --> 02:26:29,840
the camel with one.

1620
02:26:29,840 --> 02:26:30,840
They have been made.

1621
02:26:30,840 --> 02:26:32,840
No they have produced the Tiger

1622
02:26:32,840 --> 02:26:33,840
runs this evening.

1623
02:26:34,840 --> 02:26:35,840
Left hander against the left

1624
02:26:35,840 --> 02:26:36,840
hander stop waiting.

1625
02:26:36,840 --> 02:26:38,840
He's without a hit so far.

1626
02:26:38,840 --> 02:26:41,840
Had a walk and swings and

1627
02:26:41,840 --> 02:26:42,840
passes away.

1628
02:26:42,840 --> 02:26:43,840
Back in the play.

1629
02:26:43,840 --> 02:26:44,840
Rusty and the Tigers have a

1630
02:26:44,840 --> 02:26:45,840
lead over the Rangers by a

1631
02:26:45,840 --> 02:26:47,840
second base in the first.

1632
02:26:47,840 --> 02:26:49,840
He's by the right in the third

1633
02:26:49,840 --> 02:26:51,840
row off and scored a run the

1634
02:26:51,840 --> 02:26:53,840
fifth inning and struck out

1635
02:26:53,840 --> 02:26:56,840
Humbarger Fandon in the sixth

1636
02:26:56,840 --> 02:26:58,840
Humbarger have worked as

1637
02:26:58,840 --> 02:26:59,840
worked on the mound since the

1638
02:26:59,840 --> 02:27:00,840
fifth inning.

1639
02:27:00,840 --> 02:27:01,840
We're leaving the start of

1640
02:27:01,840 --> 02:27:05,840
medic left hander pitches the

1641
02:27:05,840 --> 02:27:07,840
curve ball gets rusty

1642
02:27:07,840 --> 02:27:12,840
swinging and it's like to cool

1643
02:27:12,840 --> 02:27:15,840
the evening now in Texas.

1644
02:27:15,840 --> 02:27:17,840
It was a very pleasant day.

1645
02:27:17,840 --> 02:27:19,840
Nice and warm but the coolness

1646
02:27:19,840 --> 02:27:21,840
has come in with a darkness.

1647
02:27:21,840 --> 02:27:24,840
Here's the pitch in tight under

1648
02:27:24,840 --> 02:27:26,840
the ten and the count is one and

1649
02:27:26,840 --> 02:27:27,840
two on top.

1650
02:27:32,840 --> 02:27:35,840
Humbarger pitches fastball over

1651
02:27:35,840 --> 02:27:37,840
but it's low to two.

1652
02:27:37,840 --> 02:27:40,840
I'll feel is straight up on

1653
02:27:40,840 --> 02:27:41,840
rusty.

1654
02:27:46,840 --> 02:27:48,840
There's a wide curve from the

1655
02:27:48,840 --> 02:27:49,840
left center the Tiger left hand

1656
02:27:49,840 --> 02:27:51,840
batters still staying in there.

1657
02:27:51,840 --> 02:27:52,840
They've been looking at this

1658
02:27:52,840 --> 02:27:53,840
left hand pitch since the

1659
02:27:53,840 --> 02:27:54,840
fifth inning.

1660
02:27:57,840 --> 02:27:59,840
Here's the pitch he took it in

1661
02:27:59,840 --> 02:28:00,840
too close.

1662
02:28:01,840 --> 02:28:02,840
The big young right hander Lynn

1663
02:28:02,840 --> 02:28:04,840
Barker working now in the

1664
02:28:04,840 --> 02:28:07,840
Texas bullpen.

1665
02:28:08,840 --> 02:28:09,840
That's the first walk off

1666
02:28:09,840 --> 02:28:10,840
Humbarger.

1667
02:28:10,840 --> 02:28:11,840
He's hit a man and he's got

1668
02:28:11,840 --> 02:28:12,840
five.

1669
02:28:14,840 --> 02:28:17,840
His face and Thompson picked up

1670
02:28:17,840 --> 02:28:18,840
the walk but does not have a

1671
02:28:18,840 --> 02:28:20,840
hit he's over three.

1672
02:28:20,840 --> 02:28:22,840
Fly to that bounce the first

1673
02:28:22,840 --> 02:28:23,840
and struck out.

1674
02:28:26,840 --> 02:28:28,840
I'll forget the other scores

1675
02:28:28,840 --> 02:28:29,840
will be on the scoreboard show

1676
02:28:29,840 --> 02:28:31,840
with Paul and the game's over.

1677
02:28:31,840 --> 02:28:32,840
It's a strike.

1678
02:28:32,840 --> 02:28:34,840
He checked his swing.

1679
02:28:39,840 --> 02:28:41,840
I feel straight away on the

1680
02:28:41,840 --> 02:28:42,840
Thompson.

1681
02:28:43,840 --> 02:28:44,840
I go playing behind the runners

1682
02:28:44,840 --> 02:28:46,840
started first base.

1683
02:28:46,840 --> 02:28:48,840
Now the set by Humbarger the

1684
02:28:48,840 --> 02:28:50,840
pitch is a curve that was in

1685
02:28:50,840 --> 02:28:52,840
close and he backed him off one

1686
02:28:52,840 --> 02:28:53,840
to one.

1687
02:28:53,840 --> 02:28:55,840
That's the same pitch that gets

1688
02:28:55,840 --> 02:28:57,840
quaffing in the seven inning

1689
02:28:57,840 --> 02:28:59,840
out of a change up curve ball in

1690
02:28:59,840 --> 02:29:02,840
close.

1691
02:29:02,840 --> 02:29:04,840
We have a call up there.

1692
02:29:04,840 --> 02:29:05,840
Go to the.

1693
02:29:06,840 --> 02:29:08,840
We have a match.

1694
02:29:09,840 --> 02:29:11,840
That's the outside of the plate.

1695
02:29:11,840 --> 02:29:12,840
Jason didn't come very close to

1696
02:29:12,840 --> 02:29:13,840
that one.

1697
02:29:14,840 --> 02:29:15,840
Track to the count one ball and

1698
02:29:15,840 --> 02:29:16,840
two strikes.

1699
02:29:18,840 --> 02:29:19,840
Forget the Tigers will be home

1700
02:29:19,840 --> 02:29:20,840
next Monday.

1701
02:29:20,840 --> 02:29:21,840
They'll be battling the

1702
02:29:21,840 --> 02:29:22,840
White Sox are off to a great

1703
02:29:22,840 --> 02:29:23,840
start.

1704
02:29:24,840 --> 02:29:25,840
A power laden ball club under

1705
02:29:25,840 --> 02:29:26,840
manager Bob Lemon.

1706
02:29:26,840 --> 02:29:27,840
We hope you'll be out there to

1707
02:29:27,840 --> 02:29:29,840
see the Tigers in action.

1708
02:29:29,840 --> 02:29:31,840
It's a day game at one thirty

1709
02:29:32,840 --> 02:29:33,840
outside.

1710
02:29:33,840 --> 02:29:34,840
He almost won the veteran but

1711
02:29:34,840 --> 02:29:36,840
resisted the temptation to do

1712
02:29:37,840 --> 02:29:38,840
the White Sox are in town for

1713
02:29:38,840 --> 02:29:40,840
two games and the Tigers go to

1714
02:29:40,840 --> 02:29:41,840
Cleveland come back for the

1715
02:29:41,840 --> 02:29:43,840
weekend to play Texas.

1716
02:29:45,840 --> 02:29:46,840
That's my own bar.

1717
02:29:46,840 --> 02:29:48,840
Delivered is a playing in a

1718
02:29:48,840 --> 02:29:49,840
missed he's talking about

1719
02:29:50,840 --> 02:29:51,840
him with a fastball.

1720
02:29:51,840 --> 02:29:53,840
That's the six strikeout for

1721
02:29:53,840 --> 02:29:54,840
Humbarger.

1722
02:29:54,840 --> 02:29:56,840
He's victimized Thompson twice

1723
02:29:57,840 --> 02:29:58,840
is Steve Camp.

1724
02:29:58,840 --> 02:29:59,840
He's struck out twice.

1725
02:30:00,840 --> 02:30:01,840
Medich got him wants an

1726
02:30:01,840 --> 02:30:02,840
embargo got him on.

1727
02:30:03,840 --> 02:30:05,840
He's also about to the picture

1728
02:30:05,840 --> 02:30:06,840
and draw the law.

1729
02:30:06,840 --> 02:30:08,840
Then they blow a part of the

1730
02:30:08,840 --> 02:30:09,840
batting order.

1731
02:30:09,840 --> 02:30:10,840
There's been this productive

1732
02:30:10,840 --> 02:30:12,840
part for the Tigers namely a

1733
02:30:12,840 --> 02:30:14,840
corporate in May who had six

1734
02:30:14,840 --> 02:30:15,840
hits between them.

1735
02:30:17,840 --> 02:30:20,840
Six hits in seven official

1736
02:30:20,840 --> 02:30:21,840
trips.

1737
02:30:21,840 --> 02:30:23,840
Tigers lead six to one in the

1738
02:30:23,840 --> 02:30:24,840
ninth inning.

1739
02:30:24,840 --> 02:30:27,840
Well the first and the stop was

1740
02:30:27,840 --> 02:30:28,840
almost called out.

1741
02:30:29,840 --> 02:30:30,840
He's got a struggle back there.

1742
02:30:36,840 --> 02:30:38,840
I get the larger lead with

1743
02:30:38,840 --> 02:30:39,840
hardball playing behind him.

1744
02:30:42,840 --> 02:30:44,840
Dave Kemp looks at a breaking

1745
02:30:44,840 --> 02:30:45,840
ball high ball on.

1746
02:30:46,840 --> 02:30:47,840
He's got a little bit of a

1747
02:30:47,840 --> 02:30:51,840
back and he'll go as far as his

1748
02:30:51,840 --> 02:30:52,840
pitching will take him.

1749
02:30:53,840 --> 02:30:55,840
It's a strike called a fastball

1750
02:30:55,840 --> 02:30:56,840
over.

1751
02:31:01,840 --> 02:31:05,840
Medich did not last through half

1752
02:31:05,840 --> 02:31:07,840
the game here tonight as a

1753
02:31:07,840 --> 02:31:08,840
bombing ball passed the mound a

1754
02:31:08,840 --> 02:31:09,840
short Mason.

1755
02:31:10,840 --> 02:31:11,840
He's got a little bit of a

1756
02:31:11,840 --> 02:31:12,840
backhand.

1757
02:31:13,840 --> 02:31:14,840
He's got a little bit of a

1758
02:31:14,840 --> 02:31:17,840
backhand as a bombing ball

1759
02:31:17,840 --> 02:31:19,840
passed the mound a short Mason

1760
02:31:19,840 --> 02:31:20,840
flips it over the world one

1761
02:31:20,840 --> 02:31:22,840
relay to first not in time.

1762
02:31:23,840 --> 02:31:25,840
Mason low flow getting the ball

1763
02:31:25,840 --> 02:31:26,840
there Bob and he didn't get him

1764
02:31:26,840 --> 02:31:28,840
too good of a shoveling throw

1765
02:31:28,840 --> 02:31:30,840
Bob got the ball high and could

1766
02:31:30,840 --> 02:31:32,840
not get rid of it in time to

1767
02:31:32,840 --> 02:31:33,840
double up camp at first base.

1768
02:31:33,840 --> 02:31:35,840
So it'll be a simple fourth out

1769
02:31:35,840 --> 02:31:38,840
short to second and here's one

1770
02:31:38,840 --> 02:31:40,840
of the hitting heroes for the

1771
02:31:40,840 --> 02:31:42,840
Tigers Tim Corbin drove in the

1772
02:31:42,840 --> 02:31:43,840
first run.

1773
02:31:43,840 --> 02:31:45,840
He has a perfect night three

1774
02:31:45,840 --> 02:31:46,840
for three has been hit by a

1775
02:31:46,840 --> 02:31:47,840
pitch.

1776
02:31:52,840 --> 02:31:54,840
Two out one on in the ninth

1777
02:31:54,840 --> 02:31:55,840
inning there's a strike he got

1778
02:31:55,840 --> 02:31:56,840
a fastball above the knee.

1779
02:31:58,840 --> 02:31:59,840
Well I'm part of it has looked

1780
02:31:59,840 --> 02:32:00,840
very sharp.

1781
02:32:01,840 --> 02:32:02,840
He's allowed no runs in one

1782
02:32:02,840 --> 02:32:03,840
hit since he took over the

1783
02:32:03,840 --> 02:32:06,840
fifth inning and he struck out

1784
02:32:06,840 --> 02:32:07,840
six.

1785
02:32:08,840 --> 02:32:09,840
Low curve pulls in he swings

1786
02:32:09,840 --> 02:32:14,840
and it has really been breezy

1787
02:32:14,840 --> 02:32:15,840
down their home plate the way

1788
02:32:15,840 --> 02:32:16,840
Humburgers got him cut.

1789
02:32:19,840 --> 02:32:21,840
Six to one though the Tigers in

1790
02:32:21,840 --> 02:32:22,840
the lead in the ninth inning

1791
02:32:23,840 --> 02:32:24,840
and a tough one behind the

1792
02:32:24,840 --> 02:32:25,840
head.

1793
02:32:26,840 --> 02:32:27,840
Back to fifth.

1794
02:32:27,840 --> 02:32:28,840
Swing and he struck out the

1795
02:32:28,840 --> 02:32:31,840
seventh strike out of the

1796
02:32:31,840 --> 02:32:32,840
left hand maneuver.

1797
02:32:33,840 --> 02:32:35,840
No runs on no hits no errors in

1798
02:32:35,840 --> 02:32:36,840
one man left.

1799
02:32:36,840 --> 02:32:37,840
We go to the last half of the

1800
02:32:37,840 --> 02:32:40,840
ninth inning and it's the Tigers

1801
02:32:40,840 --> 02:32:41,840
six the Rangers one.

1802
02:32:46,840 --> 02:32:47,840
You're at bat in the LeBat

1803
02:32:47,840 --> 02:32:49,840
baseball trivia game.

1804
02:32:49,840 --> 02:32:51,840
Here's the pitch which brother

1805
02:32:51,840 --> 02:32:53,840
combination holds the record

1806
02:32:53,840 --> 02:32:55,840
for hitting the most home runs.

1807
02:32:55,840 --> 02:32:57,840
They hit seven hundred sixty

1808
02:32:57,840 --> 02:32:58,840
eight.

1809
02:32:58,840 --> 02:32:59,840
Why not refresh your memory and

1810
02:32:59,840 --> 02:33:09,840
relax with a cool of that beer.

1811
02:33:09,840 --> 02:33:11,840
The answer Hank and Tommy Aaron

1812
02:33:11,840 --> 02:33:13,840
Hank hit seven hundred fifty five

1813
02:33:13,840 --> 02:33:15,840
round trippers and brother Tommy

1814
02:33:15,840 --> 02:33:17,840
hit thirteen in his brief career

1815
02:33:17,840 --> 02:33:19,840
here in baseball really go

1816
02:33:19,840 --> 02:33:20,840
together.

1817
02:33:20,840 --> 02:33:22,840
Always have always will play

1818
02:33:22,840 --> 02:33:25,840
baseball calls for great beer

1819
02:33:25,840 --> 02:33:28,840
for that call for that rooting

1820
02:33:28,840 --> 02:33:31,840
Canada since 1828 distributed by

1821
02:33:31,840 --> 02:33:32,840
the bad importers incorporated

1822
02:33:32,840 --> 02:33:34,840
Buffalo New York for beer at its

1823
02:33:34,840 --> 02:33:35,840
finest.

1824
02:33:35,840 --> 02:33:36,840
Get your hands on the bat.

1825
02:33:36,840 --> 02:33:39,840
It's Canada's number one beer as

1826
02:33:39,840 --> 02:33:41,840
fresh and crisp as where it comes

1827
02:33:41,840 --> 02:33:42,840
from.

1828
02:33:54,840 --> 02:33:56,840
Rosmer trying for that ninth

1829
02:33:56,840 --> 02:33:58,840
inning to come to the game.

1830
02:33:58,840 --> 02:34:01,840
He's got a lead of six to one and

1831
02:34:01,840 --> 02:34:04,840
he'll be facing a rather larger

1832
02:34:04,840 --> 02:34:06,840
task here than I think Oliver

1833
02:34:06,840 --> 02:34:08,840
Zisk and Howard a third fourth

1834
02:34:08,840 --> 02:34:10,840
fifth hitters of the Texas

1835
02:34:10,840 --> 02:34:11,840
Rangers.

1836
02:34:11,840 --> 02:34:13,840
I get started for them.

1837
02:34:13,840 --> 02:34:14,840
The Rangers more than the bases

1838
02:34:14,840 --> 02:34:16,840
in the eighth inning on a walk a

1839
02:34:16,840 --> 02:34:18,840
single and an error but could not

1840
02:34:18,840 --> 02:34:19,840
get anybody home.

1841
02:34:19,840 --> 02:34:21,840
And so far the only run is the

1842
02:34:21,840 --> 02:34:23,840
one that came in a third single

1843
02:34:23,840 --> 02:34:25,840
by Wilkes stolen base about

1844
02:34:25,840 --> 02:34:27,840
and a sacrifice playoff to that

1845
02:34:27,840 --> 02:34:31,840
of Hargrove Tigers got two in the

1846
02:34:31,840 --> 02:34:32,840
fourth inning on a walk to

1847
02:34:32,840 --> 02:34:34,840
Thompson a bounce out a single

1848
02:34:34,840 --> 02:34:36,840
by Boston got one in a double by

1849
02:34:36,840 --> 02:34:39,840
May that caught for the 30

1850
02:34:39,840 --> 02:34:41,840
by Samuel they scored four more

1851
02:34:41,840 --> 02:34:43,840
in the fifth inning on a couple

1852
02:34:43,840 --> 02:34:44,840
of walks in a single by

1853
02:34:44,840 --> 02:34:45,840
Boston to get one in and then

1854
02:34:45,840 --> 02:34:48,840
may unloaded a three one moment.

1855
02:34:48,840 --> 02:34:49,840
So here we go the ninth inning

1856
02:34:49,840 --> 02:34:51,840
and I'll have a bath.

1857
02:34:51,840 --> 02:34:54,840
He takes a curve into close from

1858
02:34:54,840 --> 02:34:56,840
my Rosie Ball one out of there

1859
02:34:56,840 --> 02:34:58,840
with two for three one of them

1860
02:34:58,840 --> 02:35:00,840
but single man Kelsky and close

1861
02:35:00,840 --> 02:35:02,840
running this time and the pitch

1862
02:35:02,840 --> 02:35:04,840
is one on it the Whitaker second

1863
02:35:04,840 --> 02:35:05,840
base he bubbles it in front of

1864
02:35:05,840 --> 02:35:07,840
him picks it up for the first.

1865
02:35:07,840 --> 02:35:10,840
He got him all his one down and

1866
02:35:10,840 --> 02:35:11,840
let's see if it's time for a

1867
02:35:11,840 --> 02:35:12,840
station break.

1868
02:35:12,840 --> 02:35:14,840
The ball briefly for station

1869
02:35:14,840 --> 02:35:15,840
identification.

1870
02:35:15,840 --> 02:35:16,840
This is a Detroit Tiger

1871
02:35:16,840 --> 02:35:19,840
baseball at first WJR Detroit

1872
02:35:19,840 --> 02:35:21,840
on goals by McCourt to by

1873
02:35:21,840 --> 02:35:23,840
Nettelmanski a short handed one

1874
02:35:23,840 --> 02:35:25,840
by Hextall and an open net score

1875
02:35:25,840 --> 02:35:26,840
with a second left by Saint

1876
02:35:26,840 --> 02:35:27,840
Laurent.

1877
02:35:27,840 --> 02:35:29,840
The Red Wings have defeated

1878
02:35:29,840 --> 02:35:31,840
Atlanta five to three again

1879
02:35:31,840 --> 02:35:33,840
Detroit five Atlanta three

1880
02:35:33,840 --> 02:35:36,840
designated hitter Richie Zisk at

1881
02:35:36,840 --> 02:35:38,840
the plate takes a ball outside

1882
02:35:38,840 --> 02:35:42,840
ball one he doubled in the

1883
02:35:42,840 --> 02:35:44,840
second inning fly to right and

1884
02:35:44,840 --> 02:35:46,840
then hit into a double play

1885
02:35:46,840 --> 02:35:48,840
right hander Rosamar pitches it

1886
02:35:48,840 --> 02:35:50,840
is a strike called a one and one

1887
02:35:50,840 --> 02:35:54,840
on Richie and full call for the

1888
02:35:54,840 --> 02:35:55,840
third straight inning of

1889
02:35:55,840 --> 02:35:56,840
working in the Tiger both

1890
02:35:56,840 --> 02:35:59,840
fans this takes in too close

1891
02:35:59,840 --> 02:36:00,840
two and one.

1892
02:36:05,840 --> 02:36:09,840
Toby Harrow waiting on deck now

1893
02:36:09,840 --> 02:36:12,840

to the screen and in the seat

1895
02:36:17,840 --> 02:36:19,840
Rangers have left four runs a

02:36:19,840 --> 02:36:20,840
four runners on they left three

1897
02:36:20,840 --> 02:36:23,840

1901
02:36:32,840 --> 02:36:34,840
Rosie set to go again it's a

1902
02:36:34,840 --> 02:36:36,840

1903
02:36:36,840 --> 02:36:37,840
hand hitter.

1904
02:36:37,840 --> 02:36:38,840
He takes the ball that one hit

1905
02:36:38,840 --> 02:36:39,840
him from the plate.

1906
02:36:39,840 --> 02:36:49,840
Full count.

1907
02:36:49,840 --> 02:36:51,840
Night telling Tigers lead by

1908
02:36:51,840 --> 02:36:52,840
five six to one.

1909
02:36:52,840 --> 02:36:53,840
Here it comes.

1910
02:36:53,840 --> 02:36:55,840
He swings and there's a long one

1911
02:36:55,840 --> 02:36:57,840
that may be out of here.

1912
02:36:57,840 --> 02:36:58,840
Get the back it's gone.

1913
02:36:58,840 --> 02:37:01,840
A home run by Zisk in the

1914
02:37:01,840 --> 02:37:03,840
left field six to make it.

1915
02:37:03,840 --> 02:37:25,840
The third home run.

1916
02:37:25,840 --> 02:37:28,840
I will be the Texas batter now

1917
02:37:28,840 --> 02:37:30,840
so this can Oliver the two ex

1918
02:37:30,840 --> 02:37:33,840
have picked up four of the six

1919
02:37:33,840 --> 02:37:36,840
hits protection.

1920
02:37:36,840 --> 02:37:38,840
Here's Harrow at the plate.

1921
02:37:38,840 --> 02:37:40,840
He's flying the right hit into a

1922
02:37:40,840 --> 02:37:42,840
fourth off the second bounce the

1923
02:37:42,840 --> 02:37:47,840
second as they ball in close

1924
02:37:47,840 --> 02:37:57,840
ball one.

1925
02:37:57,840 --> 02:37:59,840
I'll be wind up by Rose movie

1926
02:37:59,840 --> 02:38:01,840
she's filed away pulled out one

1927
02:38:01,840 --> 02:38:03,840
but pulled it too much hit hard

1928
02:38:03,840 --> 02:38:04,840
on the ground down past third

1929
02:38:04,840 --> 02:38:08,840
base coach Connie Ryan Tigers

1930
02:38:08,840 --> 02:38:10,840
hold a four on margin now as the

1931
02:38:10,840 --> 02:38:12,840
homer by this cuts at the four

1932
02:38:12,840 --> 02:38:14,840
one out of the ninth inning for

1933
02:38:14,840 --> 02:38:17,840
Texas.

1934
02:38:17,840 --> 02:38:19,840
No and away in the county two

1935
02:38:19,840 --> 02:38:25,840
and one now on Toby Harrow.

1936
02:38:25,840 --> 02:38:26,840
Don't forget the scoreboard show

1937
02:38:26,840 --> 02:38:28,840
with Paul Kerry all the other

1938
02:38:28,840 --> 02:38:32,840
scores laid out for you.

1939
02:38:32,840 --> 02:38:33,840
Well those my husband's sign

1940
02:38:33,840 --> 02:38:35,840
from May and the young right

1941
02:38:35,840 --> 02:38:37,840
handed pitches it is a strike

1942
02:38:37,840 --> 02:38:38,840
the fighter on the outside

1943
02:38:38,840 --> 02:38:44,840
corner to do some of the paying

1944
02:38:44,840 --> 02:38:46,840
umpires disagreeing with the

1945
02:38:46,840 --> 02:38:49,840
official arbiter on that one.

1946
02:38:49,840 --> 02:38:53,840
Mr. Merrill is the boss here's

1947
02:38:53,840 --> 02:38:54,840
the pitch he swings it's a

1948
02:38:54,840 --> 02:38:55,840
bounding ball wide appeared

1949
02:38:55,840 --> 02:38:57,840
Mankowski gloves it for the

1950
02:38:57,840 --> 02:39:01,840
Thompson got him there two down

1951
02:39:01,840 --> 02:39:03,840
and that made it up to Claudette

1952
02:39:03,840 --> 02:39:04,840
Washington the left hand

1953
02:39:04,840 --> 02:39:09,840
batting right fielder Claudette

1954
02:39:09,840 --> 02:39:10,840
is struck out bounce the second

1955
02:39:10,840 --> 02:39:12,840
and drawn a walk.

1956
02:39:12,840 --> 02:39:14,840
Rosmer has walked one and struck

1957
02:39:14,840 --> 02:39:15,840
out three is not banned a man

1958
02:39:15,840 --> 02:39:25,840
since the sixth inning.

1959
02:39:25,840 --> 02:39:27,840
Tigers lead six to two or in the

1960
02:39:27,840 --> 02:39:30,840
night two down with the Rangers

1961
02:39:30,840 --> 02:39:32,840
line drive to left it is a

1962
02:39:32,840 --> 02:39:34,840
foul ball by a foot.

1963
02:39:34,840 --> 02:39:36,840
Picing drive down the line into

1964
02:39:36,840 --> 02:39:41,840
the Tiger both fans.

1965
02:39:41,840 --> 02:39:42,840
One thing about Washington

1966
02:39:42,840 --> 02:39:53,840
they hit in all directions.

1967
02:39:53,840 --> 02:39:55,840
All the way down the first I

1968
02:39:55,840 --> 02:39:57,840
have to come back and reset

1969
02:39:57,840 --> 02:39:59,840
himself with about his box to

1970
02:39:59,840 --> 02:40:00,840
out of the ninth inning Rosmer

1971
02:40:00,840 --> 02:40:04,840
trying to get that final man

1972
02:40:04,840 --> 02:40:06,840
Dave Ellis over ready to go

1973
02:40:06,840 --> 02:40:07,840
wind up the pitch he swings as

1974
02:40:07,840 --> 02:40:09,840
they fly ball.

1975
02:40:09,840 --> 02:40:11,840
He's not going back way back

1976
02:40:11,840 --> 02:40:12,840
way back.

1977
02:40:12,840 --> 02:40:14,840
He's got it on the Tigers when

1978
02:40:14,840 --> 02:40:15,840
the first meeting with the

1979
02:40:15,840 --> 02:40:17,840
Rangers in the ninth inning

1980
02:40:17,840 --> 02:40:19,840
Texas one run one it's no

1981
02:40:19,840 --> 02:40:21,840
errors and nobody left and down

1982
02:40:21,840 --> 02:40:23,840
in Texas tonight the final score

1983
02:40:23,840 --> 02:40:25,840
of the Tigers six and Texas

1984
02:40:25,840 --> 02:40:29,840
two.

1985
02:40:29,840 --> 02:40:30,840
A lot of oil never gets out of

1986
02:40:30,840 --> 02:40:32,840
the ground.

1987
02:40:32,840 --> 02:40:33,840
Not because it hasn't been

1988
02:40:33,840 --> 02:40:35,840
discovered but simply because

1989
02:40:35,840 --> 02:40:36,840
there hasn't been any way to get

1990
02:40:36,840 --> 02:40:38,840
it out because the traditional

1991
02:40:38,840 --> 02:40:40,840
methods for recovering oil can't

1992
02:40:40,840 --> 02:40:42,840
get all the oil out of the well

1993
02:40:42,840 --> 02:40:44,840
for a number of years now the

1994
02:40:44,840 --> 02:40:45,840
engineers and research people at

1995
02:40:45,840 --> 02:40:47,840
Marathon have been getting

1996
02:40:47,840 --> 02:40:48,840
together to see if they could

1997
02:40:48,840 --> 02:40:49,840
find a way to solve that

1998
02:40:49,840 --> 02:40:51,840
problem.

1999
02:40:51,840 --> 02:40:52,840
They figured there must be a way

2000
02:40:52,840 --> 02:40:54,840
to do it better and it turns out

2001
02:40:54,840 --> 02:40:56,840
they were right.

2002
02:40:56,840 --> 02:40:57,840
They've developed the

2003
02:40:57,840 --> 02:40:58,840
Marathloft process which is

2004
02:40:58,840 --> 02:41:00,840
designed to get more a lot of

2005
02:41:00,840 --> 02:41:02,840
existing wells.

2006
02:41:02,840 --> 02:41:03,840
They came up with the

2007
02:41:03,840 --> 02:41:04,840
Marathloft process because they

2008
02:41:04,840 --> 02:41:06,840
got together to do it better and

2009
02:41:06,840 --> 02:41:08,840
they did.

2010
02:41:08,840 --> 02:41:19,840
We got together to do it better

2011
02:41:19,840 --> 02:41:25,840
in Marathon.

2012
02:41:25,840 --> 02:41:26,840
Marathon all come together.

2013
02:41:26,840 --> 02:41:32,840
We got together to do it better.

2014
02:41:32,840 --> 02:41:33,840
Did you know that in a 1974

2015
02:41:33,840 --> 02:41:34,840
regional basketball tournament

2016
02:41:34,840 --> 02:41:35,840
in Sweden this red year old

2017
02:41:35,840 --> 02:41:38,840
basketball team scored 272

2018
02:41:38,840 --> 02:41:39,840
points in one game.

2019
02:41:39,840 --> 02:41:40,840
This is Jim Ford.

2020
02:41:40,840 --> 02:41:50,840
This is WJR Sports.

2021
02:41:50,840 --> 02:41:52,840
Young Dave Rosema managed to go

2022
02:41:52,840 --> 02:41:53,840
all the way despite getting up

2023
02:41:53,840 --> 02:41:55,840
the ninth inning home run to

2024
02:41:55,840 --> 02:41:56,840
Richie Zisk.

2025
02:41:56,840 --> 02:41:58,840
Rosie pitching a six hitter

2026
02:41:58,840 --> 02:41:59,840
tonight as the Tigers win the

2027
02:41:59,840 --> 02:42:01,840
opener of the two game series

2028
02:42:01,840 --> 02:42:03,840
here at Arlington Texas six to

2029
02:42:03,840 --> 02:42:05,840
two and they did it because of

2030
02:42:05,840 --> 02:42:07,840
the bats of Milt May and Tim

2031
02:42:07,840 --> 02:42:09,840
Corcoran tonight both with three

2032
02:42:09,840 --> 02:42:10,840
hits.

2033
02:42:10,840 --> 02:42:11,840
May with three RBIs on his

2034
02:42:11,840 --> 02:42:12,840
three run homer in the fifth

2035
02:42:12,840 --> 02:42:14,840
inning earlier Milt had singled

2036
02:42:14,840 --> 02:42:15,840
and doubled.

2037
02:42:15,840 --> 02:42:17,840
Corkey had three singles and

2038
02:42:17,840 --> 02:42:19,840
drove in two runs one in the

2039
02:42:19,840 --> 02:42:21,840
fourth inning with a single.

2040
02:42:21,840 --> 02:42:23,840
Alan Trammell also driving in a

2041
02:42:23,840 --> 02:42:24,840
Tiger run with a single in the

2042
02:42:24,840 --> 02:42:25,840
fourth inning.

2043
02:42:25,840 --> 02:42:27,840
In the fifth inning Corcoran

2044
02:42:27,840 --> 02:42:29,840
singled in another Tiger run

2045
02:42:29,840 --> 02:42:30,840
and May followed with his three

2046
02:42:30,840 --> 02:42:32,840
run homer that KO'd the

2047
02:42:32,840 --> 02:42:34,840
southern loser Doc Medich who

2048
02:42:34,840 --> 02:42:36,840
gave up all six of the Tiger

2049
02:42:36,840 --> 02:42:38,840
runs and eight of the nine hits.

2050
02:42:38,840 --> 02:42:39,840
Jim Umberger was tough the rest

2051
02:42:39,840 --> 02:42:42,840
of the way but he allowed only

2052
02:42:42,840 --> 02:42:44,840
one hit in working the last four

2053
02:42:44,840 --> 02:42:46,840
and a third innings striking out

2054
02:42:46,840 --> 02:42:47,840
seven Tigers hitting a batter

2055
02:42:47,840 --> 02:42:49,840
and walking but one.

2056
02:42:49,840 --> 02:42:51,840
Rosema going the distance for

2057
02:42:51,840 --> 02:42:53,840
his first victory of 78 struck

2058
02:42:53,840 --> 02:42:55,840
out three and walked one.

2059
02:42:55,840 --> 02:42:57,840
The total for Detroit six runs

2060
02:42:57,840 --> 02:42:59,840
nine hits and one error.

2061
02:42:59,840 --> 02:43:01,840
For Texas two runs six hits and

2062
02:43:01,840 --> 02:43:02,840
one error.

2063
02:43:02,840 --> 02:43:04,840
The Tigers left nine on base.

2064
02:43:04,840 --> 02:43:06,840
The Rangers left four on base.

2065
02:43:06,840 --> 02:43:08,840
The game took two hours 28

2066
02:43:08,840 --> 02:43:09,840
minutes to be completed.

2067
02:43:09,840 --> 02:43:13,840
A crowd of 13,764.

2068
02:43:13,840 --> 02:43:14,840

That's the story of a Tiger

2079
02:43:29,840 --> 02:43:31,840
victory in Texas or any Harwell.

2080
02:43:31,840 --> 02:43:33,840
This is Paul Carey saying so

2081
02:43:33,840 --> 02:43:34,840
long.

2082
02:43:34,840 --> 02:43:35,840
