That's a base hit that makes it two to nothing and tori stops at second 160 00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:36,740 An rbi single for simons his 56th run batted in the cardinals and gibson are out in front by two 161 00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:40,740 Cruz scored 162 00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:44,580 Three hits in a row by cruz tori and simons 163 00:14:44,580 --> 00:14:52,100 It's a two to nothing ballgame and the batter is joe hay boy would we like to see joe get a hold of one 164 00:14:53,460 --> 00:14:59,780 He had really do joe's average is down to 209 10 home runs most of which he gathered very early in the season 165 00:15:02,980 --> 00:15:05,460 And the truth about it is he got those home runs 166 00:15:06,180 --> 00:15:10,740 Early before the pitchers were real sharp and started to get that off-speed stuff over to him 167 00:15:10,740 --> 00:15:16,260 Oh if he could rip one now there are two men on with one man out 168 00:15:17,060 --> 00:15:19,060 Tori at second and simons at first 169 00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:22,100 Bob johnson of the pirates is on the ropes 170 00:15:25,140 --> 00:15:27,140 A look in by the big right hander 171 00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:35,060 The first pitch to joe hay a change up is low ball one and that helps they when the pitcher cannot get that slow stuff over 172 00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:37,700 all one 173 00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:39,700 One 174 00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:46,420 Two to nothing the cardinals lead in the first on a walk in three singles 175 00:15:49,140 --> 00:15:55,940 Johnson ready to pitch to haig here it is and it's low for ball to the undecider is kubiak 176 00:15:57,060 --> 00:15:59,060 Johnson looks in at the umpire again 177 00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:02,100 Pauses out there on the mound 178 00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:04,100 The second pitch to joe hay 179 00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:12,020 Now steps on and looks in the count is two balls no strikes they play haig to pull the ball 180 00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:16,260 Here it comes 181 00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:18,260 Oh 182 00:16:30,580 --> 00:16:32,580 Well, I tried to talk him into that one 183 00:16:33,540 --> 00:16:37,540 And with a count of two balls and no strikes haig homers with two on 184 00:16:38,340 --> 00:16:44,580 And mix it a five run cardinal first you forget to worry me when you do things like that. You got est or something 185 00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:46,580 I believe might head for vegas 186 00:16:49,460 --> 00:16:51,700 Here comes danny murtaugh out of the dugout 187 00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:57,540 Hey with a count of two balls and no strikes drilled one a line drive over the fence and right 188 00:16:58,580 --> 00:17:00,820 Driving in tori driving in seven 189 00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:04,260 Giving joe 11 home runs for the year 190 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,880 37 runs batted in 191 00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:10,660 And it's five to nothing here in the first 192 00:17:10,660 --> 00:17:14,180 The only put out was on the fine play but navali oh 193 00:17:14,820 --> 00:17:17,940 Yeah, you look back on that and think how many runs we might have in the bank 194 00:17:17,940 --> 00:17:24,740 I'm delighted with the five but uh not devilio come on to make that circus robbery on the ball hit by ted sizemore 195 00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:27,380 We might have six or seven in the bank 196 00:17:27,940 --> 00:17:30,820 Danny murtaugh made an awfully slow walk to the mound 197 00:17:31,540 --> 00:17:33,540 Luz has been warming up very long 198 00:17:33,540 --> 00:17:38,660 But it may be that the smiling arishman from chester, pennsylvania has seen enough of big 199 00:17:38,660 --> 00:17:42,580 Bob johnson on this evening and that's what harry wendell said has gone out to find out 200 00:17:43,380 --> 00:17:47,220 We've got a long way to go on this ball game and against a tough pirate hitting ball club 201 00:17:47,220 --> 00:17:49,540 But the cardinals have bob gibson on the mound 202 00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:53,380 He's been staked to a five run lead on four hits 203 00:17:54,420 --> 00:17:59,460 And as I said if the cardinals can score early the pirates might get the idea that it could happen again 204 00:17:59,460 --> 00:18:01,460 Well, they surely do have that idea 205 00:18:02,020 --> 00:18:04,020 right now 206 00:18:04,020 --> 00:18:06,580 Murtaugh leaves the mound without making a pitching chain 207 00:18:06,580 --> 00:18:09,540 And bob moose continues to throw down in the bullpen 208 00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:12,260 What's the story on moose? 209 00:18:12,260 --> 00:18:14,260 Jim he's out of their rotation isn't he? 210 00:18:14,260 --> 00:18:22,260 He was away for two weeks of marine duty as I understand it jack and then he came back and he had one start and he was very ineffective in it 211 00:18:22,260 --> 00:18:32,260 And I think uh possibly danny just has him down there to try to get him back in shape and we full well know about all the military duty and how it's affected some of our men 212 00:18:32,260 --> 00:18:37,220 Well now we're going to have a pitching change and we might have a little discussion here because 213 00:18:37,220 --> 00:18:45,620 Danny murtaugh had left the mound and walked off the playing field that is beyond the foul lines 214 00:18:46,180 --> 00:18:50,820 I was under the impression jim that once the manager did that without making a pitching change 215 00:18:50,820 --> 00:18:53,540 The pitcher had to work to an additional batter 216 00:18:53,540 --> 00:18:55,540 That was my understanding too but 217 00:18:55,540 --> 00:19:02,580 It's like the umpires are going to allow this because moose has got his jacket and he's headed on the long walk in here 218 00:19:02,580 --> 00:19:08,820 So the pirates are making a pitching change here in the first stunning and they are bringing in the right-hander bob moose 219 00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:16,020 Moose has the same record as the gentleman whom he replaces on the mound 220 00:19:16,020 --> 00:19:21,060 Johnson leaves with a mark of seven and seven and moose is the same 221 00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:25,860 Well this isn't going to help johnson's earned run average any 222 00:19:25,860 --> 00:19:27,860 He pitched a third of an inning 223 00:19:27,860 --> 00:19:35,860 He allowed five runs four hits he struck out none and he walked one and it worked him for a walk sizemore line to right 224 00:19:35,860 --> 00:19:45,860 Cruz got the pop single that went off the glove actually out of the glove of the third baseman cash out in short left field 225 00:19:45,860 --> 00:19:53,860 Tori's single homerun simon's single homerun and haig hit a three run homer in the cardinals lead five to nothing 226 00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:59,860 And moose comes into the ball game and kubiak will be at the plate against him 227 00:19:59,860 --> 00:20:05,860 Murtagh and Wendelstedt the manager and the plate umpire got into a discussion out there in the mound 228 00:20:07,860 --> 00:20:11,860 And it started to get heated then the pirates made the pitching change 229 00:20:11,860 --> 00:20:23,860 Actually the plate umpire here did not call for the pitcher out of the bullpen nor did it appear that Murtagh called for the pitcher out of the bullpen 230 00:20:23,860 --> 00:20:29,860 So I guess I must be mistaken about my interpretation of that rule 231 00:20:29,860 --> 00:20:35,860 Just as when a manager makes two trips to the mound in one inning the pitcher has to come out 232 00:20:35,860 --> 00:20:47,860 If he visits the mound at any time and then leaves I thought that the pitcher had to work to another batter but I guess I'm wrong 233 00:20:47,860 --> 00:20:51,860 How the Giants do today Jim? 234 00:20:51,860 --> 00:20:57,860 They're in the 10th inning they're tied up 5-5 with McGraw going against Don Mcmahon now 235 00:20:57,860 --> 00:21:01,860 Donno who started the game for New York Brian started for the Giants but it's 5-5 last of the season 236 00:21:01,860 --> 00:21:07,860 Donno who started the game for New York Brian started for the Giants but it's 5-5 last of the 10th 237 00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:15,860 We continue now with the right-hander Bob Moose on the mound and Ted Kubiak at the plate hitting 2-29 with four homers 238 00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:19,860 He takes a ball inside 239 00:21:19,860 --> 00:21:29,860 I'll bet the Johnson the pirate starter will blame the umpire for part of his troubles because he didn't agree with about four or five calls 240 00:21:29,860 --> 00:21:35,860 And Kubiak swings grounds it to the right of Robertson off his glove he picks it up and he throws too late 241 00:21:35,860 --> 00:21:37,860 And that'll be a base hit 242 00:21:37,860 --> 00:21:43,860 The ball was hit to the right of Robertson and went off his glove he made one grab at the ball but it had rolled away 243 00:21:43,860 --> 00:21:48,860 And Kubiak is safely on with a hit the Cardinals fifth hit of the inning 244 00:21:48,860 --> 00:21:52,860 The batter is Maxwell 245 00:21:52,860 --> 00:22:03,860 I don't know if last night when we were describing the game the disappointment showed in my voice with regard to Maxville's accomplishments or lack of accomplishments 246 00:22:03,860 --> 00:22:09,860 I should point out that Maxi with that sore side is playing with his chest all taped up 247 00:22:09,860 --> 00:22:14,860 He injured his ribs in a belly flopper down at second base the other night 248 00:22:14,860 --> 00:22:19,860 And he's just having a lot of trouble swinging the bat there's a throw to first and Kubiak gets back 249 00:22:19,860 --> 00:22:27,860 So if I was a little harsh on Maxville it was because primarily of our disappointment more than anything else 250 00:22:27,860 --> 00:22:35,860 The pitch to Dow and he takes it low for a ball 251 00:22:35,860 --> 00:22:38,860 He's the eighth man to bat for the Cardinals in the inning 252 00:22:38,860 --> 00:22:44,860 Robertson is holding against Kubiak and the outfield plays Maxville around to the right 253 00:22:44,860 --> 00:22:54,860 The runner is on with one man out the pitch is made by Bob Moose Maxville takes it low outside ball two 254 00:22:54,860 --> 00:23:05,860 Cardinals trying to move within five you remember they were 14 out at one time 255 00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:10,860 Two balls no strikes the count to Maxville he's hitting 220 256 00:23:10,860 --> 00:23:17,860 The pitch to him swing and a foul trying to go to right field two and one 257 00:23:17,860 --> 00:23:24,860 Gibson kneeling in the on deck circle and he must be feeling pretty good about the situation at the moment 258 00:23:24,860 --> 00:23:32,860 He has a five run lead 259 00:23:32,860 --> 00:23:36,860 We've been underway here for about 25 minutes and the Pirates haven't swung a bat yet 260 00:23:36,860 --> 00:23:41,860 There's a throw to first and Kubiak got back was pretty close 261 00:23:41,860 --> 00:23:46,860 Two balls and a strike to Maxville the runner might be going here with one man out 262 00:23:46,860 --> 00:23:54,860 The runner is not going and there's a foul out of play two and two the ball down in the right field 263 00:23:54,860 --> 00:24:01,860 A walk to Elu Sizemore lined out Cruz a scratch single an RBI single by Torrey 264 00:24:01,860 --> 00:24:10,860 An RBI single by Simmons a three run homer by Joe Hague five nothing Cardinals 265 00:24:10,860 --> 00:24:16,860 Two and two on Maxville Moose is ready 266 00:24:16,860 --> 00:24:20,860 Pitches swing and a miss he struck him out with a high delivery 267 00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:22,860 Another second out of the inning 268 00:24:22,860 --> 00:24:27,860 A pause for identification with Bob Gibson coming up the ninth man to bat here in the Cardinal first 269 00:24:27,860 --> 00:24:44,860 This is the Cardinals baseball network 270 00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:48,860 Gibson with two home runs five runs batted in is batting 200 271 00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:52,860 There's a wild throw to first base Kubiak will go to second 272 00:24:52,860 --> 00:24:59,860 That's all he can advance the ball got stuck underneath the grandstand and a throwing error is charged 273 00:24:59,860 --> 00:25:08,860 To the pitcher on the pickoff play Kubiak moves to second as Moose threw badly to first base 274 00:25:08,860 --> 00:25:15,860 These are the kind of signs that show up when teams are jittery 275 00:25:15,860 --> 00:25:23,860 Plays they don't make not saying the Pirates are jittery but some of the signs are there 276 00:25:23,860 --> 00:25:29,860 Gibson could drive home a run now the pitch swings and bounces it to short cut off by cash 277 00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:37,860 He throws to first for the out 278 00:25:37,860 --> 00:25:46,860 Gibson is out five three to hand the Cardinal first five runs five hits one error one left 279 00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:52,860 Gibson goes to the mound and the Cardinals lead five nothing 280 00:25:52,860 --> 00:25:56,860 You did it you did it 281 00:25:56,860 --> 00:25:59,860 You want action?

career mark of 22 and 12 against Pittsburgh with no record against them this season 298 00:27:11,860 --> 00:27:16,860 Their leadoff hitter will be Dave Cash Davalio will follow him and Oliver 299 00:27:16,860 --> 00:27:22,860 They have some left-handed batters in their lineup Davalio Oliver Stardew Milton May 300 00:27:22,860 --> 00:27:32,860 Gibson's wind up in first pitch is high ball one 301 00:27:32,860 --> 00:27:36,860 Cash batting 309 playing third base tonight 302 00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:44,860 Next pitch low outside ball two 303 00:27:44,860 --> 00:27:47,860 You out feel a bit to the right for the young pirate infielder 304 00:27:47,860 --> 00:27:56,860 Gibson delivers and pumps one down the middle for a called strike one two and one 305 00:27:56,860 --> 00:28:01,860 Two balls and a strike to Dave Cash 306 00:28:01,860 --> 00:28:09,860 You know the wind up the cardinal right hander fires and a foul out of play back to the right two and two 307 00:28:09,860 --> 00:28:14,860 And our best wishes to the Cardinal Football Club 308 00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:27,860 Another new coach Bob Hallways he makes his debut tonight ball three to cash three and two of the pitch was high inside 309 00:28:27,860 --> 00:28:33,860 There's a line drive into right field Hague is right there comes in as one of the three to pitch and 310 00:28:33,860 --> 00:28:43,860 Gibson working with his usual rapidity brought it home cash fly to right there's one out the batter is Davalio 311 00:28:43,860 --> 00:28:50,860 Former Cardinal longtime American Laker Davalio is batting 286 with one home run 312 00:28:50,860 --> 00:28:57,860 Clever little hitter this guy moves the ball around they play him to pull 313 00:28:57,860 --> 00:29:04,860 Franco Siak coaching a third for Pittsburgh and Don Leppard at first 314 00:29:04,860 --> 00:29:10,860 The pitch on the way Davalio takes it low for a ball 315 00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:19,860 Simmons the catcher and then field of Torrey Maxville Kubiak and Alou 316 00:29:19,860 --> 00:29:26,860 Ball outside ball to Gibson's been behind the first two hitters here he came back and got cash 317 00:29:26,860 --> 00:29:33,860 He's two and two and on Davalio with Al Oliver in the on deck circle 318 00:29:33,860 --> 00:29:43,860 Stewart called two and one Davalio taking all the way and that's a problem of being behind by five 319 00:29:43,860 --> 00:29:57,860 Gibson fires stir right to two and two another called strike two balls two strikes 320 00:29:57,860 --> 00:30:07,860 Outfield to the right the pitch is made and a fly ball to center cruises their two out 321 00:30:07,860 --> 00:30:13,860 Bob Gibson after being defeated the other evening 322 00:30:13,860 --> 00:30:17,860 That was the Monday night game against the Dodgers was really crushed 323 00:30:17,860 --> 00:30:25,860 I mean he was crushed he's a fellow doesn't show his feelings much but that defeat really hurt him 324 00:30:25,860 --> 00:30:30,860 And when the Cardinals won these first two in Pittsburgh he said I better crank myself up a pretty good ballgame 325 00:30:30,860 --> 00:30:36,860 Had not the pitch to Al Oliver inside ball one Oliver usually hits Gibson quite well 326 00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:44,860 Remember some game winning blows that the pirate outfielder has delivered against the Cardinal pitcher 327 00:30:44,860 --> 00:30:49,860 He has power to left center field Oliver batting 274 with six homers 328 00:30:49,860 --> 00:30:53,860 Gibson has retired the first two there's a fly ball to left 329 00:30:53,860 --> 00:31:00,860 Each outfielder will handle a ball Sizemore had trouble but made the catch he didn't see that ball right away 330 00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:09,860 Hey got one Cruz caught one Sizemore caught one at the end of one the Cardinals lead five to nothing 331 00:31:09,860 --> 00:31:13,860 Ice cold Bush, Bush does it like no other beer 332 00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:16,860 Hey Barney come here give me one of your ice cold beers 333 00:31:16,860 --> 00:31:22,860 Not ice cold beer ice cold Bush 334 00:31:22,860 --> 00:31:27,860 Best thing that ever happened with thirst almost sells itself you know I just go along for the walk 335 00:31:27,860 --> 00:31:29,860 You're quite a promoter Barney 336 00:31:29,860 --> 00:31:34,860 Oh no a promoter is a guy who will furnish the ocean if you'll buy the ships 337 00:31:34,860 --> 00:31:36,860 Now me I render my thirsty fans a service 338 00:31:36,860 --> 00:31:39,860 Right with the best beer in the ballpark 339 00:31:39,860 --> 00:31:41,860 I'm almost a public servant you might say 340 00:31:41,860 --> 00:31:46,860 I do say I can't imagine a ballgame without you Barney without beer 341 00:31:46,860 --> 00:31:51,860 Without Bush you mean there's as much difference as between lightning and a lightning bug 342 00:31:51,860 --> 00:31:54,860 Go get them tiger you got a lot of thirsty people waiting for you 343 00:31:54,860 --> 00:31:57,860 Tell the game good Jim I'll see you later 344 00:31:57,860 --> 00:32:02,860 Ice cold Bush, Bush does it like no other beer 345 00:32:02,860 --> 00:32:06,860 Barney the Bush man say hi next time you see him 346 00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:13,860 We go on to the second inning the Cardinals lead five nothing sent nine men to the plate in the first 347 00:32:13,860 --> 00:32:20,860 As they routed Bob Johnson and they're hitting against Bob Moose with Manny Allu leading off 348 00:32:20,860 --> 00:32:26,860 Manny walked to start the first inning merry-go-round faces Moose for the first time 349 00:32:26,860 --> 00:32:33,860 The pitch is made and it's a ball outside Moose pitching for the Bucks 350 00:32:36,860 --> 00:32:43,860 The division leading Pirates here's the pitch to Manny and it's a strike call at the letter as he looks back at the umpire 351 00:32:43,860 --> 00:32:50,860 It's one and one it'll be a loose Sizemore and Cruz here in the second 352 00:32:51,860 --> 00:32:59,860 Next pitch Brown foul rip past first base down into the corner that makes it one and two 353 00:32:59,860 --> 00:33:04,860 Benson is coaching at third for the Cardinals with Ken Boyer at first 354 00:33:04,860 --> 00:33:14,860 Pirates are playing Hernandez it's short again tonight with Gene Alley limping a bit on a bad knee 355 00:33:14,860 --> 00:33:22,860 Allu to just missed with that one two and two Allu acted like he thought he was struck out 356 00:33:22,860 --> 00:33:26,860 The Pirates were ready to throw that ball around two and two the count 357 00:33:26,860 --> 00:33:35,860 Giants won their ballgame today we'll tell you about it in a moment the pitch now is called out on strikes Moose gets him 358 00:33:36,860 --> 00:33:38,860 Moose gets his second strikeout 359 00:33:39,860 --> 00:33:46,860 There was a slider that stayed on the inside corner as Allu pulled back one out in the batter's Sizemore 360 00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:54,860 Like to see the Cardinals mount another attack because you never have too many runs here's the pitch to Ted 361 00:33:54,860 --> 00:34:00,860 Sizemore hits one a diving try by the third baseman he can't get it and Sizemore has another hit 362 00:34:00,860 --> 00:34:05,860 Sizemore singles with one man out that ball was in on the third base 363 00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:07,860 Moose gets his second strikeout 364 00:34:07,860 --> 00:34:18,860 Sizemore hits one a diving try by the third baseman he can't get it and Sizemore has another hit Sizemore singles with one man out that ball was in on him and he got around in the ball 365 00:34:18,860 --> 00:34:22,860 He's now hit safely in nine straight ballgames 366 00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:27,860 Batters Jose Cruz 367 00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:36,860 Cardinals came here with a four game losing streak riding 368 00:34:36,860 --> 00:34:45,860 Two against the Dodgers two against the Braves they could have won some of those games everybody on the ball club has agreed but that's history 369 00:34:45,860 --> 00:34:49,860 The pitch to Cruz swing and a miss he was going for the long ball 370 00:34:49,860 --> 00:34:56,860 Not just because he missed the last ball Jack but somehow Cash doesn't look comfortable at third base to me with these moves and everything 371 00:34:56,860 --> 00:35:02,860 He's an outstanding young second baseman but it's not that easy to move from position to position 372 00:35:02,860 --> 00:35:07,860 A ball in the dirt to Cruz blocked by Milton May the catcher and it's one and one 373 00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:10,860 That ball was hit to his left 374 00:35:12,860 --> 00:35:17,860 Talking about the base hit by Sizemore passed Cash went off his glove 375 00:35:18,860 --> 00:35:20,860 Throw to first the runner back 376 00:35:20,860 --> 00:35:28,860 Some infielders who can cover ground don't have that initial quickness that you need at certain positions 377 00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:37,860 Another throw to first and Sizemore is back again Cruz single his first time up on a ball that Cash couldn't handle a pop fly into short left 378 00:35:39,860 --> 00:35:41,860 Moose checks the runner 379 00:35:41,860 --> 00:35:49,860 Fires to the plate Cruz fouled it back and had his best cut one ball two strikes 380 00:35:50,860 --> 00:35:57,860 Jose had a good rip at that one but just couldn't handle it one ball two strikes five to nothing the Cardinals lead here in the second 381 00:35:57,860 --> 00:36:01,860 Gibson set the pirates down in order in the first 382 00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:09,860 Redbirds batting in the second Sizemore at first one out Cruz at the plate and Torrey up next 383 00:36:09,860 --> 00:36:12,860 Throw to first nothing doing 384 00:36:19,860 --> 00:36:28,860 Lead by the runner the pitch swing and a high fly ball to deep center field way back on the track Oliver way back he's got it 385 00:36:28,860 --> 00:36:30,860 Four hundred and ten feet away 386 00:36:30,860 --> 00:36:40,860 Back to first Sizemore and he had to hustle to get back that ball just kept going and going and going and Oliver could have gone no further 387 00:36:40,860 --> 00:36:47,860 He was back to the wall alright if Cruz pulls that ball even a little bit little more over toward the power alley instead of straight away 388 00:36:47,860 --> 00:36:49,860 This score is seven nothing in a hurry 389 00:36:49,860 --> 00:37:02,860 He really hit that ball hard but almost straight away into center field must have gone about four hundred and five feet the batters Torrey single and runners first time 390 00:37:02,860 --> 00:37:08,860 Takes a strike call a good fastball from Moose up and in in the strike zone strike one 391 00:37:10,860 --> 00:37:14,860 Five to nothing here in the second for the Cardinals Sizemore at first two out 392 00:37:14,860 --> 00:37:19,860 Torrey swings and fouls it back and two quick strikes on Joe 393 00:37:22,860 --> 00:37:33,860 Then Becker in the Cubs play at Cincinnati tonight Torrey started the day at three fifty five one point ahead of Becker who was over for last night 394 00:37:33,860 --> 00:37:42,860 Moose delivers with the runner going in a fly ball base hit in the right field Sizemore around second heads for third and he's got it 395 00:37:42,860 --> 00:37:48,860 Sizemore around second heads for third Dabalio comes up with the ball they hold the runners at first and third 396 00:37:49,860 --> 00:37:56,860 Torrey gets his second hit a line single into the right field corner and Dabalio did another good job of outfielding 397 00:37:56,860 --> 00:38:04,860 Sure does he gets over that corner pretty well but been around a while but he's still got that fine speed and a sense of where the ball is going to go 398 00:38:04,860 --> 00:38:09,860 Sizemore I think when he left the bag I think he was surprised when Benson threw the stop sign up at him 399 00:38:09,860 --> 00:38:18,860 The relay was perfectly handled however and there was no chance for Sizemore to come home on that long single by Torrey 400 00:38:18,860 --> 00:38:25,860 It's up to Simmons with two men out the Cardinals with a chance to score against Bob Moose Torrey is two for two 401 00:38:28,860 --> 00:38:35,860 Simmons single his first time up drove in a run and he could hurt the Pirates again 402 00:38:35,860 --> 00:38:41,860 The pitch swing and a bouncer to second a big hop to Mazurowski throws close out 403 00:38:42,860 --> 00:38:50,860 Mazurowski had to wait for a big hop and then he got Simmons five out of step and the Cardinals lead two 404 00:38:51,860 --> 00:38:56,860 No runs two hits there were no errors and two men left the Cardinals have left three 405 00:38:57,860 --> 00:39:01,860 The Pirates come to bat in their second the Cardinals lead five to nothing 406 00:39:01,860 --> 00:39:06,860 Nice and cold foot, Bush does it like no other man 407 00:39:06,860 --> 00:39:07,860 Hiya Barney 408 00:39:07,860 --> 00:39:08,860 Hi Jack 409 00:39:08,860 --> 00:39:09,860 Give me a bush to sit down for a while 410 00:39:09,860 --> 00:39:11,860 Oh here's stay long Jack gotta push the bush 411 00:39:11,860 --> 00:39:14,860 Those pretty girls out there make walking a pleasure 412 00:39:14,860 --> 00:39:17,860 Better not let Mrs. Barney hear that she's quite pretty herself 413 00:39:17,860 --> 00:39:20,860 And that's odd too because she's got a sister who's really ugly 414 00:39:20,860 --> 00:39:21,860 A dog huh? 415 00:39:21,860 --> 00:39:27,860 We used to figure she put her face up in curlers enough wrinkles to store a three day rain 416 00:39:27,860 --> 00:39:31,860 Every time she raised her eyebrows pulled up her stockings 417 00:39:31,860 --> 00:39:32,860 I'm sure it did 418 00:39:32,860 --> 00:39:36,860 Told a policeman once there's a man following me and I'm afraid he's crazy 419 00:39:36,860 --> 00:39:39,860 Cop took one look and said lady he's gotta be 420 00:39:39,860 --> 00:39:41,860 Bet you're glad it didn't run in the family 421 00:39:41,860 --> 00:39:44,860 Oh my yes I don't know what I'd do if they were like this Bush here 422 00:39:44,860 --> 00:39:45,860 Like Bush? 423 00:39:45,860 --> 00:39:47,860 Well you know every bottle is same 424 00:39:47,860 --> 00:39:52,860 John Tory has raised his batting average a couple of points to 357 425 00:39:52,860 --> 00:39:58,860 During the Pirates second Willie Stardew leads off and it's always nice to pitch to this big guy with the bases empty 426 00:39:58,860 --> 00:40:03,860 Stardew hitting 304 with 39 home runs 427 00:40:03,860 --> 00:40:09,860 Strike called Gibson drilled one across at the knees 428 00:40:09,860 --> 00:40:13,860 Stardew has driven in 101 runs 429 00:40:13,860 --> 00:40:18,860 There's a foul out of play and that's strike two 430 00:40:18,860 --> 00:40:20,860 Stardew didn't play last night 431 00:40:20,860 --> 00:40:24,860 Steve Carleton handled him beautifully the other evening 432 00:40:24,860 --> 00:40:27,860 Stardew sat it out against Royce 433 00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:30,860 Gibson fires and it's up and in 434 00:40:30,860 --> 00:40:31,860 Ball in 435 00:40:31,860 --> 00:40:34,860 Bob set Pittsburgh down in order in the first 436 00:40:34,860 --> 00:40:38,860 On three fly balls he's working rapidly 437 00:40:38,860 --> 00:40:41,860 Fire strike called 438 00:40:41,860 --> 00:40:46,860 He let it up and he got him 439 00:40:46,860 --> 00:40:49,860 First strike out for Gibson 440 00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:59,860 The batter is Milton May 441 00:40:59,860 --> 00:41:01,860 Gibson working with a five run lead 442 00:41:01,860 --> 00:41:03,860 Has retired four in a row 443 00:41:03,860 --> 00:41:06,860 May is a left handed batter hitting 243 444 00:41:06,860 --> 00:41:08,860 He has power he's hit four home runs 445 00:41:08,860 --> 00:41:12,860 He swings and misses chased a bad ball up and in 446 00:41:12,860 --> 00:41:18,860 I think his first major league run batted in was against Bob Gibson in the ball game last year 447 00:41:18,860 --> 00:41:21,860 It's from Gary Indiana 448 00:41:21,860 --> 00:41:25,860 Swings and fouls at back that's strike two 449 00:41:25,860 --> 00:41:30,860 Fan made a good play on the ball 450 00:41:30,860 --> 00:41:36,860 May is a six footer 175 a fine catching prospect 451 00:41:36,860 --> 00:41:42,860 The pitch on the way to him and a change up and he swings and strikes out but he'll go to first as 452 00:41:42,860 --> 00:41:46,860 Simmons couldn't handle the ball in the dirt 453 00:41:46,860 --> 00:41:49,860 The ball went back to the screen 454 00:41:49,860 --> 00:41:52,860 It's a strike out and a wild pitch 455 00:41:52,860 --> 00:41:57,860 Gibson is credited with a second strike out but a wild pitch 456 00:41:57,860 --> 00:42:04,860 Puts Milton May at first with one out 457 00:42:04,860 --> 00:42:08,860 So if Gibby gets a bad break there as Simmons was unable to 458 00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:14,860 Prevent the ball from going back to the screen 459 00:42:14,860 --> 00:42:22,860 Bob Robertson the batter is hitting 268 right handed hitter takes a ball gets away the runner does not advance 460 00:42:22,860 --> 00:42:26,860 In the way Simmons is struggling behind the plate 461 00:42:26,860 --> 00:42:36,860 You suspect that Gibson has a good breaking ball he goes out to talk with the pitcher 462 00:42:36,860 --> 00:42:42,860 Robertson is the second leading home run hitter on the Pirate Ball Club 463 00:42:42,860 --> 00:42:44,860 He's blasted 23 464 00:42:44,860 --> 00:42:48,860 The outfield deep to the left for him 465 00:42:48,860 --> 00:43:01,860 May at first one out the pitch swing and a foul and he had a home run cut it came back to the screen 466 00:43:01,860 --> 00:43:08,860 Two strike outs in the setting for Gibson but there's a runner at first with one out 467 00:43:08,860 --> 00:43:12,860 Robertson swinging late missed it one and two 468 00:43:12,860 --> 00:43:19,860 Gibson's fastball appears to be a good one 469 00:43:19,860 --> 00:43:23,860 Robertson looked over into the Cardinal dugout for some reason 470 00:43:23,860 --> 00:43:26,860 One ball two strikes to count 471 00:43:26,860 --> 00:43:33,860 The pitch struck him out with a good low breaking ball and that's three strike outs in a row for Gibson 472 00:43:33,860 --> 00:43:36,860 Now the runners at first with two out 473 00:43:36,860 --> 00:43:38,860 The batter is Mazurowski 474 00:43:38,860 --> 00:43:41,860 There was a guy strike out four and one hit 475 00:43:41,860 --> 00:43:43,860 It could happen 476 00:43:43,860 --> 00:43:52,860 Mazurowski playing second base tonight hitting 262 477 00:43:52,860 --> 00:43:54,860 First pitch to him 478 00:43:54,860 --> 00:43:59,860 A fly ball behind first foul ball a play for Alou he's got it 479 00:43:59,860 --> 00:44:07,860 Mazurowski fouled out the Pirates do nothing in the second they put a runner on and leave him on 480 00:44:07,860 --> 00:44:17,860 No runs no hits no errors a wild pitch one left at the end of two the Cardinals five Pittsburgh nothing 481 00:44:17,860 --> 00:44:19,860 Sure is warm today 482 00:44:19,860 --> 00:44:21,860 Yes ma'am that'll be ten cents total please 483 00:44:21,860 --> 00:44:24,860 I got it here somewhere in my purse 484 00:44:24,860 --> 00:44:27,860 Oh my the car stalled again 485 00:44:27,860 --> 00:44:30,860 Come on car not here please 486 00:44:30,860 --> 00:44:33,860 That's ten cents ma'am and you'll have to move your car 487 00:44:33,860 --> 00:44:36,860 How can I move it when it won't listen to me 488 00:44:36,860 --> 00:44:42,860 Now there's a solution to help prevent summer stalling new STP keep cool radiator treatment 489 00:44:42,860 --> 00:44:45,860 STP keep cool helps take the heat off your engine 490 00:44:45,860 --> 00:44:49,860 Oh Andy it seems like only yesterday that Billy was just a baby 491 00:44:49,860 --> 00:44:51,860 And now he's ready for his driver's test 492 00:44:51,860 --> 00:44:53,860 Billy sure you remember the rules 493 00:44:53,860 --> 00:44:57,860 Sure Mr. Granatelli I drive to the service station for STP oil treatment 494 00:44:57,860 --> 00:45:02,860 I'll tell the driving examiner that STP is especially important in hot summer driving 495 00:45:02,860 --> 00:45:05,860 Because it protects and lubricates better than ordinary motor oil alone 496 00:45:05,860 --> 00:45:08,860 Did you learn that in driver's education class 497 00:45:08,860 --> 00:45:10,860 No ma'am by living next door to the Granatellis 498 00:45:10,860 --> 00:45:16,860 STP is the racers' edge 499 00:45:16,860 --> 00:45:19,860 We're going to the third inning here the Cardinals lead 5-0 500 00:45:19,860 --> 00:45:23,860 And here for the play-by-play of the ball game is Jim Woods 501 00:45:23,860 --> 00:45:27,860 Thank you very much Jack and Joe Hague who struck the big blow in the first inning 502 00:45:27,860 --> 00:45:29,860 The Cardinals looking at Moose's first pitch 503 00:45:29,860 --> 00:45:32,860 It's over the outside corner for a call strike 0-1 504 00:45:32,860 --> 00:45:36,860 Hague popped his 11th home run of the year 505 00:45:36,860 --> 00:45:40,860 His first in quite a while but he picked a great spot for it I'll tell you that 506 00:45:40,860 --> 00:45:45,860 Off-speed pitch by Bob Moose and it's a ball and a strike 507 00:45:45,860 --> 00:45:52,860 Moose has not been the big winner that they hoped he would be this year 508 00:45:52,860 --> 00:45:56,860 Ball outside two balls and a strike 509 00:45:56,860 --> 00:46:00,860 He's pitched a no-hitter in the majors threw it against the Mets 510 00:46:00,860 --> 00:46:04,860 Three years ago at Shea Stadium 511 00:46:04,860 --> 00:46:12,860 2-1 pitch coming from Moose and a swing by Hague and a miss strike too to enter the count 512 00:46:12,860 --> 00:46:18,860 Been seven hits in the ball game and the Cardinals have all of them 513 00:46:18,860 --> 00:46:26,860 They ride high, wide and handsome here in game three but a long ways to go 514 00:46:26,860 --> 00:46:31,860 Ball two is just a little low 515 00:46:31,860 --> 00:46:34,860 Scoreboard for ball three rather, three and two 516 00:46:34,860 --> 00:46:37,860 Not on and out 517 00:46:37,860 --> 00:46:42,860 Kubiak will be next and then Maxwell 518 00:46:42,860 --> 00:46:46,860 Pay off pitch from Bob Moose, swing on and miss strike three 519 00:46:46,860 --> 00:46:48,860 Moose gets his third strike out 520 00:46:48,860 --> 00:46:51,860 Puts one away and brings up Kubiak 521 00:46:51,860 --> 00:46:58,860 If you're looking at this game from a pirate viewpoint it might be valuable for them to be able to bring a fellow like Bob Moose through in this game 522 00:46:58,860 --> 00:47:02,860 Although he has given up three hits in the time that he has worked 523 00:47:02,860 --> 00:47:08,860 The time to get back into the pitching rotation almost seems to be a must for Pittsburgh 524 00:47:08,860 --> 00:47:13,860 I would think perhaps if he would work around, here's Kubiak waiting for the first pitch 525 00:47:13,860 --> 00:47:21,860 Sends a high fly ball out toward rather deep right but D'Avilio is on the move and he gets to it and he has it to the eye 526 00:47:21,860 --> 00:47:27,860 I think maybe he might replace Johnson in the pitching rotation because Johnson has got to be a disappointment 527 00:47:27,860 --> 00:47:36,860 He gets to get him from the Kansas City club, gave up Freddy Patek and a good catcher in Jerry May and a pretty fair hurler in Bruce Dalkanton 528 00:47:36,860 --> 00:47:39,860 And he's just not lived up to expectations 529 00:47:39,860 --> 00:47:44,860 Two men out, here's Maxwell, Maxey strike out victim his first time up 530 00:47:44,860 --> 00:47:46,860 Facing Moose 531 00:47:46,860 --> 00:47:49,860 Sends the foul back out of play 532 00:47:49,860 --> 00:47:52,860 Way, way into the upper deck 533 00:47:52,860 --> 00:47:59,860 Cubs have gone out ahead of the Reds now, 3-1 at the end of two and one half innings 534 00:47:59,860 --> 00:48:04,860 Houston and Atlanta play later, Montreal and LA later 535 00:48:04,860 --> 00:48:10,860 Maxwell takes a ball down low, Phil's in San Diego not scheduled tonight 536 00:48:10,860 --> 00:48:14,860 Minnesota drove the Tigers today, 9-4 537 00:48:14,860 --> 00:48:17,860 Oakland beat the Yankees 1-0 538 00:48:17,860 --> 00:48:19,860 The ball hit down to Mazurowski 539 00:48:19,860 --> 00:48:23,860 The Golden Glove is up and on the first, that retires the side 540 00:48:23,860 --> 00:48:26,860 No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left 541 00:48:26,860 --> 00:48:29,860 We go to the bottom of the third and it's 5-0 St. Louis 542 00:48:29,860 --> 00:48:58,860 Music 543 00:48:58,860 --> 00:49:02,860 The good times don't come easy 544 00:49:02,860 --> 00:49:07,860 Those times when a man can sit down with his fear and get back into things 545 00:49:07,860 --> 00:49:11,860 Bush makes the best of times like these because the mellow flavor of Bush 546 00:49:11,860 --> 00:49:15,860 Goes along with the good times without getting in the way 547 00:49:15,860 --> 00:49:19,860 With a long day behind you and pleasure on your mind 548 00:49:19,860 --> 00:49:22,860 Bush does it like no other be 549 00:49:22,860 --> 00:49:26,860 Visit our St. Louis brewery and we will prove it 550 00:49:26,860 --> 00:49:31,860 Music 551 00:49:31,860 --> 00:49:35,860 Jackie Hernandez playing a shortstop tonight in place of the Aileen Jean Alley 552 00:49:35,860 --> 00:49:39,860 Leads it off here, he's at 2-12, three home runs, 13 batted in 553 00:49:39,860 --> 00:49:43,860 Gibson moves the strike right by him, 0-1 the count 554 00:49:43,860 --> 00:49:50,860 Mr. Gibson has the plate pretty well zeroed in as he usually does 555 00:49:50,860 --> 00:50:02,860 Swing and a miss by Hernandez and 0-2 556 00:50:02,860 --> 00:50:08,860 A ball outside, a moving pitch that was outside, a little low, one ball, two strikes 557 00:50:08,860 --> 00:50:12,860 Pirates have had the one baserunner on the strikeout wild pitch 558 00:50:12,860 --> 00:50:18,860 And the delivery is ball two outside, 2-2 the count 559 00:50:18,860 --> 00:50:26,860 Frank Osiak the coach at third, Don Leppard at first 560 00:50:26,860 --> 00:50:31,860 Old Missouri and Bill Burton, Murtagh's first lieutenant 561 00:50:31,860 --> 00:50:37,860 Possibly the heir apparent if Danny steps down after this year because of health reasons, there's ball three 562 00:50:37,860 --> 00:50:41,860 Has not made any appearance on the field during this entire series 563 00:50:41,860 --> 00:50:47,860 Full count three and two, Gibson got ahead of Hernandez and now has got him out to the full count 564 00:50:47,860 --> 00:50:54,860 Here's the payoff pitch, he walked him, for Gibson lost Hernandez 565 00:50:54,860 --> 00:50:58,860 And Bob Moose will bat for himself 566 00:50:58,860 --> 00:51:01,860 Another great hitting pitcher, but he's going to base hit every now and then 567 00:51:01,860 --> 00:51:12,860 He's been up 33 times, he's had four hits 568 00:51:12,860 --> 00:51:22,860 Moose bounce here in the number nine spot, Alou laying in behind Hernandez and Moose fouls off the first pitch for a strike, 0-1 569 00:51:22,860 --> 00:51:27,860 Cardinals with a five run out burst, driving Bob Johnson out in the first inning 570 00:51:27,860 --> 00:51:33,860 Lead five nothing, Moose another foul straight back, 0-2 the count 571 00:51:33,860 --> 00:51:40,860 Gibby has another 0-2 count on his second hitter in a row 572 00:51:40,860 --> 00:51:44,860 He works in a hurry and Moose swings and misses strike three 573 00:51:44,860 --> 00:51:47,860 That is Gibson's fourth strikeout 574 00:51:47,860 --> 00:51:50,860 Puts one away and the top of the order comes up now, Dave Cash 575 00:51:50,860 --> 00:51:56,860 Flied out to Hague in his first effort 576 00:51:56,860 --> 00:52:02,860 We won't be back until the 27th of August 577 00:52:02,860 --> 00:52:04,860 The Cincinnati Reds will be there 578 00:52:04,860 --> 00:52:12,860 We'll be playing the Reds, the Mets, and the Cubs in the homestand coming up 579 00:52:12,860 --> 00:52:18,860 Fly ball rather deep right field, drifting back goes Hague, getting a beat on it and he makes the catch 580 00:52:18,860 --> 00:52:38,860 Two men out and Hernandez returns to first and we'll pause for station identification on the Cardinals baseball network 581 00:52:38,860 --> 00:52:44,860 Vic Devalio bats now, fly ball to Cruz, what happened to him the first time up? 582 00:52:44,860 --> 00:52:51,860 Little Vic who did the tremendous pinch hitting job for the Cardinals in the year of 1970 583 00:52:51,860 --> 00:52:56,860 Been a fine player for the Pirates, big swing and a miss, 0-1 584 00:52:56,860 --> 00:53:01,860 Came over here in the Mattie Alou deal 585 00:53:01,860 --> 00:53:06,860 He really chased a bad ball that time, it was way up and in 586 00:53:06,860 --> 00:53:15,860 Hernandez long lead, Devalio takes over low, ball one, one and one the count 587 00:53:15,860 --> 00:53:22,860 End of three and a half, Cubs three, Reds one, fine Pappas 588 00:53:22,860 --> 00:53:28,860 Gibson ready to pitch, jumped off the mound, Hernandez returns to first and Devalio gets out of the batter's box in a hurry 589 00:53:28,860 --> 00:53:30,860 Two men out here in the third inning 590 00:53:30,860 --> 00:53:33,860 Pirates are still looking for their first hit 591 00:53:33,860 --> 00:53:41,860 Foul out of play, one ball two strikes 592 00:53:41,860 --> 00:53:48,860 Big day here tomorrow, ball day of Pirate Father and Son game 593 00:53:48,860 --> 00:53:58,860 And a sellout crowd expected, there's a tap out to Maxwell, he's up with it, goes on to second just in time for the force out of Hernandez to retire the side 594 00:53:58,860 --> 00:54:03,860 No runs, no hits, no errors, one left, the end of three innings, five nothing St. Louis 595 00:54:03,860 --> 00:54:30,860 I'm sitting here thinking, trying to decide If I should go back to the town and the things I've left behind 596 00:54:30,860 --> 00:54:39,860 You can spend so much time trying to get ahead that you forget where you really are 597 00:54:39,860 --> 00:54:45,860 Take time to get back to the good and natural things of life and do it with a cold bush 598 00:54:45,860 --> 00:54:51,860 The good flavor of bush comes from the finest natural ingredients brewed the old world way 599 00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:59,860 Nothing artificial added, nothing changed, for a beer that does it like no other, naturally 600 00:54:59,860 --> 00:55:09,860 Bob Gibson just now striding out of the Cardinal dugout to come up and take his wax 601 00:55:09,860 --> 00:55:12,860 Bounced out to third in his first effort 602 00:55:12,860 --> 00:55:18,860 Facing Bob Moose who is all in relief for Bob Johnson who gave up all the Cardinal runs in the first inning 603 00:55:18,860 --> 00:55:25,860 And Gibson takes the ball, it is just outside, one ball no strikes 604 00:55:25,860 --> 00:55:35,860 Moose brings it in, took a little bit off of it and Gibson didn't get it, one ball, one strike 605 00:55:35,860 --> 00:55:40,860 Outside of the first inning this ball game has moved right along 606 00:55:40,860 --> 00:55:47,860 Usually does when Mr. Gibson goes about his business out there 607 00:55:47,860 --> 00:55:53,860 Swings again, he didn't get it, one ball, two strikes 608 00:55:53,860 --> 00:55:58,860 Bob's batting just under 200 609 00:55:58,860 --> 00:56:05,860 Not been his most productive year with the bat and he's had some good ones 610 00:56:05,860 --> 00:56:12,860 He swings, a delayed swing and a delayed call on the part of Wendelstadt and it's a strikeout 611 00:56:12,860 --> 00:56:16,860 So that is four strikeouts for Moose 612 00:56:16,860 --> 00:56:27,860 One out, top of the order up, Maddie Lou walked and struck out 613 00:56:27,860 --> 00:56:36,860 Lou Brock's hand still causing him quite a problem and it's just a day to day thing when Lou is going to be back in left field and leading off 614 00:56:36,860 --> 00:56:45,860 Moose throws a curve, it got Lou right down the middle, no balls and a strike 615 00:56:45,860 --> 00:56:51,860 Little bit low, one and one to count 616 00:56:51,860 --> 00:57:00,860 Fine as this new stadium is, they have problems around there, they have bottlenecks, they have a big crowd or even a small crowd 617 00:57:00,860 --> 00:57:03,860 There's only two ways to get in and out of this place 618 00:57:03,860 --> 00:57:07,860 And you should see the traffic pile up around here after a ball game 619 00:57:07,860 --> 00:57:17,860 No longer a smoke problem in the city as there was many, many years ago but the Mellon family spent I don't know how many millions of dollars to do away with that 620 00:57:17,860 --> 00:57:25,860 Moose delivers, fly ball, center field, back goes Oliver, in position, waiting and has it 621 00:57:25,860 --> 00:57:36,860 Two men out for the Cardinals in the fourth inning and Sizemore who is lined out and singled as the batter 622 00:57:36,860 --> 00:57:41,860 Ted's been doing a good job in left field filling in for Brock 623 00:57:41,860 --> 00:57:50,860 He hasn't been the most graceful outfielder going after one or two balls in out there but he's gotten the job done and that's what they pay off on 624 00:57:50,860 --> 00:57:59,860 Fast strike for Moose, outside corner, knee high, one and one to count 625 00:57:59,860 --> 00:58:08,860 Cash, a deep third base, eight feet off the line, here's Sizemore drilling one down the short, hops up Fernandez, the throw, that's it 626 00:58:08,860 --> 00:58:11,860 No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left 627 00:58:11,860 --> 00:58:16,860 We move into the last half of the fourth inning, St. Louis five, pirates nothing 628 00:58:16,860 --> 00:58:21,860 Andy Granatelli, it's three in the morning, you still writing commercials? 629 00:58:21,860 --> 00:58:25,860 It's tough going darling, how can we change the STP approach for summer? 630 00:58:25,860 --> 00:58:31,860 Why should we? STP oil treatment still helps cars engines run smoother, cooler, quieter, longer 631 00:58:31,860 --> 00:58:36,860 And with all the extra summer driving, people really need the extra protection of STP 632 00:58:36,860 --> 00:58:38,860 What are you writing? 633 00:58:38,860 --> 00:58:40,860 Just keep talking darling, keep talking 634 00:58:40,860 --> 00:58:46,860 STP is a racer's engine 635 00:58:46,860 --> 00:58:50,860 Leaning off here in the last half of the fourth inning, Al Oliver stands in 636 00:58:50,860 --> 00:58:54,860 He's skied one out in mid left field, it's first time up 637 00:58:54,860 --> 00:58:57,860 And he'll see what he can do with Gibson 638 00:58:57,860 --> 00:59:04,860 Pirates looking for their first hit, a strike call to the knees, one and one to count 639 00:59:04,860 --> 00:59:10,860 In Atlanta, Cook goes for Houston, Pat Jarvis for the Atlanta Braves 640 00:59:10,860 --> 00:59:15,860 Ball down low, one and one to count 641 00:59:15,860 --> 00:59:23,860 Giants one in extra inning over the melt, six to five, there's a ball bounced in behind Don Leppard at first base foul, one ball, two strikes 642 00:59:23,860 --> 00:59:33,860 Oliver, Stargell and Milt May 643 00:59:33,860 --> 00:59:39,860 Here's Gibson with rapidity working again, there's a little flipper out behind second base, Maxwell runs back, he's got it 644 00:59:39,860 --> 00:59:46,860 Oliver hit that ball on the fifths, and I mean Gibson really sawed him off 645 00:59:46,860 --> 00:59:57,860 Oh what a way, here's Stargell, took a call, third strike, and he gets a big hand every time he comes up 646 00:59:57,860 --> 01:00:00,860 Willie is so well liked around this town 647 01:00:00,860 --> 01:00:03,860 Ball down into the dirt, one ball, no strikes 648 01:00:03,860 --> 01:00:06,860 Does a lot of work with children 649 01:00:06,860 --> 01:00:14,860 Also has the chicken business here 650 01:00:14,860 --> 01:00:19,860 Hails from the Compton, California area, where so many fine athletes came from 651 01:00:19,860 --> 01:00:27,860 Inside to Stargell, two balls, no strikes 652 01:00:27,860 --> 01:00:36,860 One man out here and nobody on, with the Redbirds in front, five nothing, trying to make it three in a row, there's ball three to Stargell 653 01:00:36,860 --> 01:00:42,860 Gibson, behind on the count, three and nothing 654 01:00:42,860 --> 01:00:48,860 Fires in the next, Stargell went after it, he bangs it foul, he had the green light, five runs behind 655 01:00:48,860 --> 01:00:55,860 Had the green light on a three nothing pitch, Myrtol let him go 656 01:00:55,860 --> 01:01:03,860 Hoping I guess he could pop one out of here and try to get a little inspiration going on the part of the Pirates who just not hit at all 657 01:01:03,860 --> 01:01:09,860 Ball four, way up high 658 01:01:09,860 --> 01:01:15,860 Second walk given up by Gibson, puts the runner at first, brings up Milton May who struck out but reached first base 659 01:01:15,860 --> 01:01:23,860 When what was ruled a wild pitch got past Simmons 660 01:01:23,860 --> 01:01:27,860 Pirates have lost 13 out of their last 16 661 01:01:27,860 --> 01:01:32,860 Gibson getting adjusted and waiting for the young left hand hitting catcher 662 01:01:32,860 --> 01:01:38,860 To get fixed at the plate, and he jammed him, no foul, tip they say now, strike 663 01:01:38,860 --> 01:01:50,860 Pitch was way inside and just barely kicked the bat, and it's all in one 664 01:01:50,860 --> 01:02:02,860 The old Cardinal Nellie Briles is up and throwing in the Pirate bullpen, Milton May takes the ball down low, one and one 665 01:02:02,860 --> 01:02:09,860 Had one run now in 21 innings since the Cardinals have been in town, high pop up left field 666 01:02:09,860 --> 01:02:16,860 Sizemore goes drifting over toward left center, weaves around, got it 667 01:02:16,860 --> 01:02:23,860 Sizemore likes to run to the spot, gets a pretty good beat on the ball, runs to the spot and then he looks for it 668 01:02:23,860 --> 01:02:28,860 Two men out to Bob Robertson, struck out his first time up 669 01:02:28,860 --> 01:02:41,860 Starjol the runner at first, two away, and Gibson and the Cardinals leading 5-0 in the fourth 670 01:02:41,860 --> 01:02:50,860 Fastball, strike call to the letters of the big muscle man from Mount Savage, Maryland 671 01:02:50,860 --> 01:02:55,860 Talk about some of the strong men of the game, this guy ranks right up there with them 672 01:02:55,860 --> 01:03:05,860 Check swing, a foul, strike, and it's all in two, he did not get a cut that time 673 01:03:05,860 --> 01:03:13,860 Briles has warmed up a couple of times, we're hoping that they can get something started here and get down into the bottom end of their batting order 674 01:03:13,860 --> 01:03:20,860 Where he'd be forced to hit for Moose, but Mr. Gibson is not about to let that happen it would seem 675 01:03:20,860 --> 01:03:27,860 Two strikes on Robertson, and the pitch foul, back out of play, he had a cut that time 676 01:03:27,860 --> 01:03:32,860 0-2 677 01:03:32,860 --> 01:03:39,860 Gibson has given up two walks and one runner reached on the wild pitch and that's all the Pirates have had so far tonight 678 01:03:39,860 --> 01:03:42,860 Through the first three and two-thirds innings 679 01:03:42,860 --> 01:03:54,860 Gibson brings it in, wide of the mark, one and two the count 680 01:03:54,860 --> 01:04:01,860 Bob Robertson pounds the plate, Gibson gets quickly ready, sends it in and strikes Robinson out again 681 01:04:01,860 --> 01:04:06,860 Robertson took a big healthy cut, got nothing, and Gibson has five strikeouts in the book 682 01:04:06,860 --> 01:04:13,860 No runs, no hits, no errors, one left, the end of four innings, Cardinals five, Pirates nothing 683 01:04:13,860 --> 01:04:34,860 0-2 684 01:04:34,860 --> 01:04:48,860 Wherever it's going, part of you goes too, heading for open spaces and places you've never seen 685 01:04:48,860 --> 01:05:03,860 Bush goes there too, travels to the best bobbin hops wherever they're grown, brings them back and brews them slowly into a full mellow beer 686 01:05:03,860 --> 01:05:13,860 Only the best for Bush, because Bush does it like no other beer 687 01:05:13,860 --> 01:05:20,860 Fifth inning now, the Cardinals have out hit the Pirates, seven to nothing, lead in the ballgame five to nothing 688 01:05:20,860 --> 01:05:28,860 with Jose Cruz leading off against Bob Moose who has pitched scoreless baseball over three and two-third innings 689 01:05:28,860 --> 01:05:33,860 Moose has registered four strikeouts since we're leaving Bob Johnson 690 01:05:33,860 --> 01:05:39,860 He's a hard-throwing right-hander and he pitches to Cruz who is singled and lined out very deep to center field 691 01:05:39,860 --> 01:05:48,860 Left-handed batter in the first pitch, strike called, he kept it away, caught the corner, strike one 692 01:05:48,860 --> 01:05:53,860 Cubs lead Cincinnati three to one in the bottom of the fifth at Cincinnati 693 01:05:53,860 --> 01:06:00,860 Fly ball fouled out of the left field corner by Cruz, nice catch mister 694 01:06:00,860 --> 01:06:09,860 Philadelphia and San Diego have the day off because of a San Diego football game, Giants beat the Mets today six to five 695 01:06:09,860 --> 01:06:16,860 Houston and Atlanta later, Montreal and Los Angeles later, and that's the National League 696 01:06:16,860 --> 01:06:27,860 With a count of own two, Cruz grounds one hard to second, Maseroski has it, throws him out, Cruz hustling all the way, was up by a step 697 01:06:27,860 --> 01:06:38,860 As he was retired by Maseroski, one, four, seven, eight in a row retired by Bob Moose 698 01:06:38,860 --> 01:06:44,860 Cardinals lead five nothing and here's Joe Torre who drove in the first run of the ballgame 699 01:06:44,860 --> 01:06:50,860 He has two singles and he's batting three fifty eight so he's picked up three points tonight 700 01:06:50,860 --> 01:07:03,860 Leading the league again, swings and misses the breaking ball, he got a base hit against Johnson, he's singled against Moose 701 01:07:03,860 --> 01:07:13,860 The right-hander pitches, misses, low outside, one and one 702 01:07:13,860 --> 01:07:20,860 Outfield playing Torre to pull the ball, he leans back from ball two inside, two and one 703 01:07:20,860 --> 01:07:31,860 Torre is a fearless hitter at the plate, they move him off the plate, they hit him with pitches, they don't move him away 704 01:07:31,860 --> 01:07:35,860 Two balls and a strike to count 705 01:07:35,860 --> 01:07:43,860 And the pitch on the way, low outside, ball three, three and one 706 01:07:43,860 --> 01:07:47,860 With Ted Simmons the next batter 707 01:07:47,860 --> 01:07:50,860 We're in the Cardinal fifth and the Cardinals lead five nothing 708 01:07:50,860 --> 01:07:56,860 We play the Pirates again tomorrow afternoon, Reggie Cleveland against Bruce Keeson 709 01:07:56,860 --> 01:08:00,860 Torre takes a strike, a breaking ball 710 01:08:00,860 --> 01:08:05,860 The ballgame here starts at one thirty five local time 711 01:08:05,860 --> 01:08:13,860 Our dugout broadcast time tomorrow, St. Louis time will be twelve twenty and twelve thirty for the ballgame 712 01:08:13,860 --> 01:08:17,860 If the Cardinals can win this one they'll be going for the sweep 713 01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:25,860 Three two pitch to Torre, swing and a foul, rolling back into the Cardinal dugout 714 01:08:25,860 --> 01:08:39,860 Cardinal scored five in the first, that's all the scoring in this game to this point 715 01:08:39,860 --> 01:08:47,860 Bob Moose pitching to Joe Torre, swings and a base hit to left and he's three for three 716 01:08:47,860 --> 01:08:51,860 That ball was up and in and Torre ripped it into left field 717 01:08:51,860 --> 01:08:56,860 He is three for three in the ballgame tonight 718 01:08:56,860 --> 01:08:59,860 And all three of his hits have been screamers 719 01:08:59,860 --> 01:09:04,860 One a hard hit ground ball through the right side 720 01:09:04,860 --> 01:09:08,860 The other a line drive single into right, this one he pulled into left 721 01:09:08,860 --> 01:09:17,860 The batter is Simmons, Ted has won for two 722 01:09:17,860 --> 01:09:22,860 Drove in a run with a first inning single and then against Bob Moose he grounded out, he's up there batting left handed 723 01:09:22,860 --> 01:09:29,860 The pitch, swing and a line drive into left and the left fielder coming hard, Stardell he fumbled the ball 724 01:09:29,860 --> 01:09:35,860 Torre rounds second and heads for third, Simmons going for second, they're both safe 725 01:09:35,860 --> 01:09:43,860 It's a double, Stardell came hard in left field and he's a pretty good outfielder 726 01:09:43,860 --> 01:09:48,860 He almost caught the ball at shoot-top level, it popped out of his glove, rolled behind him 727 01:09:48,860 --> 01:09:54,860 And Torre scooted on to third and Simmons went down to second base with his second hit of the night 728 01:09:54,860 --> 01:10:00,860 The batter is Haig and they might put him on 729 01:10:00,860 --> 01:10:05,860 They'll walk Haig and load the bases 730 01:10:05,860 --> 01:10:10,860 An intentional walk is being affected to Joe Haig 731 01:10:10,860 --> 01:10:14,860 It's the first pass issued by Bob Moose 732 01:10:14,860 --> 01:10:19,860 Cardinals with a chance to score their first runs off of this fellow will have the bases loaded one out 733 01:10:19,860 --> 01:10:24,860 And Ted Kubiak up there batting left handed, nothing doing in the pirate bullpen 734 01:10:24,860 --> 01:10:30,860 Haig hit a three run homer in the first and then struck out in the third 735 01:10:30,860 --> 01:10:35,860 There's ball four, Joe's three run homer in the first inning 736 01:10:35,860 --> 01:10:41,860 Made it five to nothing, was his eleventh homerun of the year giving him 37 runs batted in 737 01:10:41,860 --> 01:10:49,860 Kubiak couldn't help the Redbirds here, he got a base hit in the first 738 01:10:49,860 --> 01:10:57,860 Was a wasted single as it turned out then hit the ball deep to right, so he's one for two 739 01:10:57,860 --> 01:11:03,860 Pirates looking for the double play and they have one of the great pivot men ever 740 01:11:03,860 --> 01:11:06,860 Down at second base and the person of Maserowski 741 01:11:06,860 --> 01:11:11,860 Robertson is playing in at first even with the bag, that's surprising 742 01:11:11,860 --> 01:11:16,860 Swing and a smash, pissed him down into the right field corner, one run score, two runs score 743 01:11:16,860 --> 01:11:20,860 Haig goes out of third base, they bring him around and now they hold him up 744 01:11:20,860 --> 01:11:26,860 He tries to get back to third and he does and it's seven to nothing 745 01:11:26,860 --> 01:11:32,860 Why Robertson was playing where he was playing I do not know 746 01:11:32,860 --> 01:11:39,860 He was playing even with the bag at first and Kubiak doubled to his left 747 01:11:39,860 --> 01:11:45,860 Robertson's left, down into the corner, driving in two, making it seven to nothing 748 01:11:45,860 --> 01:11:50,860 Kubiak's second hit of the night, a two run double 749 01:11:50,860 --> 01:11:58,860 And the runners are on at second and third with one out and Maxfield is up, he's 0 for 2 and the infield is in 750 01:11:58,860 --> 01:12:03,860 Robertson and the others are playing up and there's a ball to Maxfield, ball one 751 01:12:03,860 --> 01:12:09,860 Now Max he doesn't have to extend himself to the point of swinging a bad ball 752 01:12:09,860 --> 01:12:14,860 Because the pitcher is coming up next because the next batter is Gibson and he can help himself 753 01:12:14,860 --> 01:12:19,860 It's seven to nothing, second and third, one out and a ball a little bit high, ball two 754 01:12:19,860 --> 01:12:23,860 They walked Haig but they lost Kubiak 755 01:12:23,860 --> 01:12:27,860 Nelson Brails is warming up in the pirate bullpen 756 01:12:27,860 --> 01:12:34,860 Now they're going to walk Maxfield and pitch to Gibson with the bases loaded 757 01:12:34,860 --> 01:12:40,860 When the bases were loaded and Kubiak at the plate, the pirates looking for the double play 758 01:12:40,860 --> 01:12:49,860 They had Robertson, or he did it on his own, playing exactly parallel with the first base bag 759 01:12:49,860 --> 01:12:54,860 He had no chance to get the ball, it was hit to his left, had he been deeper he might have flagged it down 760 01:12:54,860 --> 01:13:01,860 And he's a right handed thrower with a glove on that side and things like that make a difference 761 01:13:01,860 --> 01:13:08,860 Bases loaded, one out, Gibson at the plate, the Cardinals leading seven to nothing, Gibson is 0 for 2 762 01:13:08,860 --> 01:13:12,860 Wants a fly ball if he can get it 763 01:13:12,860 --> 01:13:17,860 Here is the pitch to Bob Gibson, swing and a fly ball to right, that'll get a run home 764 01:13:17,860 --> 01:13:23,860 Both runners tag up, D'Avilio makes the catch, here comes Haig and he scores 765 01:13:23,860 --> 01:13:26,860 Maxfield the second, he's safe 766 01:13:26,860 --> 01:13:32,860 Everybody advanced on the fly ball by Gibson making it 8 to nothing 767 01:13:32,860 --> 01:13:40,860 And Maxfield had to do that belly flopper again on those sore ribs on his second base 768 01:13:40,860 --> 01:13:45,860 Gibson's sacrifice fly makes it 8 to nothing 769 01:13:45,860 --> 01:13:47,860 His fly ball to right field 770 01:13:47,860 --> 01:13:51,860 Now they're going to walk Helleu 771 01:13:51,860 --> 01:13:57,860 Will be the third intentional walk of the inning, will load the bases again and they'll pitch to Sizemore 772 01:13:57,860 --> 01:14:06,860 Helleu is being walked 773 01:14:06,860 --> 01:14:09,860 The bases will be loaded with two men out 774 01:14:09,860 --> 01:14:16,860 Helleu is cleaning his fingernails while Moose walks in 775 01:14:16,860 --> 01:14:20,860 Just standing there 776 01:14:20,860 --> 01:14:27,860 There's ball four, Sizemore up with the bases loaded, it's been a three run inning and the Cardinals lead 8 to nothing 777 01:14:27,860 --> 01:14:33,860 They have Kubiak out at third, Maxfield down at second base 778 01:14:33,860 --> 01:14:38,860 And Sizemore is up, he's 1 for 3 779 01:14:38,860 --> 01:14:43,860 Gibson and the Cardinals now have an 8 to nothing lead 780 01:14:43,860 --> 01:14:51,860 Sizemore can add to the lead, he's the ninth man to bat in the inning 781 01:14:51,860 --> 01:15:01,860 Moose goes into a full windup and delivers to Ted Sizemore and it's high, ball one 782 01:15:01,860 --> 01:15:05,860 Two run double in this inning by Kubiak, a big blow 783 01:15:05,860 --> 01:15:09,860 After base hits by Torian Simmons with one man out 784 01:15:09,860 --> 01:15:14,860 Next pitch to Sizemore with the bases loaded, a fly ball to right, should end the inning 785 01:15:14,860 --> 01:15:17,860 Everybody running with two men out, Dabali onto the ball 786 01:15:17,860 --> 01:15:20,860 He has it and the Cardinals score three 787 01:15:20,860 --> 01:15:23,860 Sizemore flying to right, he's 1 for 4 788 01:15:23,860 --> 01:15:28,860 The Cardinals score three times on three hits 789 01:15:28,860 --> 01:15:33,860 No errors, three left, they have stranded six 790 01:15:33,860 --> 01:15:38,860 They go into the bottom of the fifth inning, Gibby and the Cardinals lead 8 to nothing 791 01:15:38,860 --> 01:15:43,860 Going to the Pirate fifth inning, Nelson Brials continues to throw in their bullpen 792 01:15:43,860 --> 01:15:47,860 For the pitcher is due to bat 793 01:15:47,860 --> 01:15:54,860 Here in the fifth, the batter is Mazarski, he is looking for his 2000th major league hit 794 01:15:54,860 --> 01:16:00,860 He swings and misses, the first pitch was a strike call, this one's strike two 795 01:16:00,860 --> 01:16:03,860 Now Bob Veale joins Brials in the bullpen 796 01:16:03,860 --> 01:16:10,860 There's a ground ball, back to Gibson on one hop, Gibby flips it to Alou, one hop 797 01:16:10,860 --> 01:16:16,860 Pirates have no hits in the game 798 01:16:16,860 --> 01:16:21,860 The batter is Jackie Hernandez, the right handed hitting shortstop from Panama 799 01:16:21,860 --> 01:16:25,860 He walked his first time, was left out 800 01:16:25,860 --> 01:16:31,860 Pirates have had three baserunners, two on walks and the other on a missed third strike 801 01:16:31,860 --> 01:16:37,860 Hernandez takes the ball way outside 802 01:16:37,860 --> 01:16:45,860 The score is 8 to nothing, Cardinals 803 01:16:45,860 --> 01:16:52,860 Charlie Sands, a catcher, is on deck for Pittsburgh to pinch hit 804 01:16:52,860 --> 01:16:56,860 Hernandez takes the strike to even the count of one and one 805 01:16:56,860 --> 01:17:02,860 The Cardinals have made eight runs on ten hits 806 01:17:02,860 --> 01:17:12,860 Stewart called a Gibson fastball and Hernandez took it, he's in the hole one and two 807 01:17:12,860 --> 01:17:19,860 Bob started to work again, stopped, pumps once more and fires and it's low 808 01:17:19,860 --> 01:17:24,860 Two balls, two strikes 809 01:17:24,860 --> 01:17:29,860 Gibson slows it down a little bit, turns around, checks the outfield, they're around to the right for Hernandez 810 01:17:29,860 --> 01:17:31,860 This fella has some power 811 01:17:31,860 --> 01:17:36,860 The pitch to him, high, all three 812 01:17:36,860 --> 01:17:43,860 Here with one out, Gibson is in danger of walking Hernandez for the second time 813 01:17:43,860 --> 01:17:47,860 The 3-2 pitch struck him out 814 01:17:47,860 --> 01:17:51,860 A letter high fastball picks him up, six strikeouts for Gibson 815 01:17:51,860 --> 01:17:59,860 Two on in the inning and the batter is Charlie Sands 816 01:17:59,860 --> 01:18:12,860 Sands, a left-handed hitter, used to belong to the Yankees, we saw him in spring training with the Pirates 817 01:18:12,860 --> 01:18:16,860 He's a big guy, about 6'4 818 01:18:16,860 --> 01:18:22,860 They're two men out, base is empty, Sands batting for Moose 819 01:18:22,860 --> 01:18:26,860 Here in the fifth 820 01:18:26,860 --> 01:18:31,860 First pitch is swinging a miss and he took a home run cut 821 01:18:31,860 --> 01:18:39,860 Moose pitched four and two thirds, he's charged with three runs and six hits 822 01:18:39,860 --> 01:18:45,860 Next pitch to Sands and it hits his bat and goes foul, that strike two, he was ducking an inside pitch 823 01:18:45,860 --> 01:18:50,860 Moose walked three men, they were all intentional walks 824 01:18:50,860 --> 01:18:53,860 And while he was in there, he had four strikeouts 825 01:18:53,860 --> 01:18:57,860 Either Veal or Brials will be their new pitcher 826 01:18:57,860 --> 01:19:02,860 Sands takes the ball low inside, a breaking ball 827 01:19:02,860 --> 01:19:12,860 He had to do everything in his power to keep from swinging at that one 828 01:19:12,860 --> 01:19:19,860 Sands is up there with two men out, the pitch to him and a swing and a miss, the breaking ball got him 829 01:19:19,860 --> 01:19:25,860 Gibson now has seven strikeouts and has not allowed a hit over the first five innings 830 01:19:25,860 --> 01:19:31,860 And at the end of five, the Cardinals lead Pittsburgh 8-0 831 01:19:31,860 --> 01:19:44,860 That's the call to action and the place to answer it is Sunoco, only Sunoco has the action of 260, highest octane gasoline at any station, anywhere 832 01:19:44,860 --> 01:19:49,860 Sunoco, Sunoco 833 01:19:49,860 --> 01:19:54,860 It's the call to action for your machine, if you're a man of action make it happen 834 01:19:54,860 --> 01:19:59,860 At the sign of the action gasoline, Sunoco 835 01:19:59,860 --> 01:20:04,860 Get next to Sunoco's custom blending pump and help get all the power out of your engine 836 01:20:04,860 --> 01:20:08,860 Sunoco blends 260 into premium, middle premiums, even regular 837 01:20:08,860 --> 01:20:11,860 That's 260 action and you can't get it anywhere else 838 01:20:11,860 --> 01:20:16,860 Sunoco, Sunoco 839 01:20:16,860 --> 01:20:21,860 It's the call to action for your machine, if you're a man of action make it happen 840 01:20:21,860 --> 01:20:27,860 At the sign of the action gasoline, Sunoco 841 01:20:27,860 --> 01:20:32,860 Sunoco, Sunoco 842 01:20:32,860 --> 01:20:37,860 The ground crew is out smoothing out the base pass 843 01:20:37,860 --> 01:20:44,860 We're going into the sixth inning, the Pirates will use a new hurler 844 01:20:44,860 --> 01:20:49,860 Looks like Bob Veale is going to make the leisurely walk into the ballgame 845 01:20:49,860 --> 01:20:53,860 We're going to pause for identification here in just a moment 846 01:20:53,860 --> 01:20:58,860 Want to check and make sure that it is Veale, both he and Braille's were warming up 847 01:20:58,860 --> 01:21:05,860 Down in the bullpen 848 01:21:05,860 --> 01:21:07,860 And it's Mr. Beale 849 01:21:07,860 --> 01:21:11,860 We'll tell you about his pitching statistics when we come back 850 01:21:11,860 --> 01:21:20,860 This is the Cardinals baseball network 851 01:21:20,860 --> 01:21:23,860 Can you see that? 852 01:21:23,860 --> 01:21:29,860 Stand by 853 01:21:29,860 --> 01:21:35,860 Jim Woods, if I were to tell you that Veale is 6-0 for the year, 6 wins, no losses 854 01:21:35,860 --> 01:21:41,860 And you were to tell me his earned run average was 7.26 855 01:21:41,860 --> 01:21:44,860 You'd say that's not right, you're wrong 856 01:21:44,860 --> 01:21:46,860 It's a misprint on this thing 857 01:21:46,860 --> 01:21:50,860 He's got the only innings pitch that he's had for 6 wins 858 01:21:50,860 --> 01:21:53,860 He's pitched a total of 31 innings 859 01:21:53,860 --> 01:21:57,860 And in that time he's given up 25 earned runs 860 01:21:57,860 --> 01:22:03,860 He hasn't had, well he's had two saves too 861 01:22:03,860 --> 01:22:07,860 He was talking the other day about this, he said I know I haven't pitched well 862 01:22:07,860 --> 01:22:15,860 But he said you've got to go with the record book, I'm 6-0 863 01:22:15,860 --> 01:22:19,860 Well to score 8-0, Beale takes over here in the 6th 864 01:22:19,860 --> 01:22:23,860 And Jose Cruz will be the first man up against him 865 01:22:23,860 --> 01:22:28,860 Cruz is 1-3, delivered a key hit in the first when the Cardinals scored 5 times 866 01:22:28,860 --> 01:22:31,860 They came back to get 3 more in the 5th 867 01:22:31,860 --> 01:22:38,860 Cruz had been retired in the 5th inning and Moose had set down 8 in a row 868 01:22:38,860 --> 01:22:41,860 Then things started to happen 869 01:22:41,860 --> 01:22:48,860 The Cardinals scored 3 runs off of Moose after getting 5 off of Johnson 870 01:22:48,860 --> 01:22:54,860 The pitch is on the way and Cruz takes a strike from big Bob Beale 871 01:22:54,860 --> 01:22:57,860 And I mean this fella's big 872 01:22:57,860 --> 01:23:04,860 6-6, 2-15, pitches, low for a ball 873 01:23:04,860 --> 01:23:10,860 If Beale were a rent collector, you'd pay in advance 874 01:23:10,860 --> 01:23:16,860 Big fella brings it home and a swing and a miss by Cruz makes it 1 ball 2 strikes 875 01:23:16,860 --> 01:23:26,860 Jose will be followed by Torrey who will be up there looking for his 4th hit of the night 876 01:23:26,860 --> 01:23:33,860 Beale pitches in the dirt, bounces back to the screen, makes the count 2-2 877 01:23:33,860 --> 01:23:37,860 I've done that in room with Beale all the time, there were teammates over here 878 01:23:37,860 --> 01:23:41,860 And Dylans told me there's just no way of telling how strong Beale is 879 01:23:41,860 --> 01:23:45,860 He doesn't know himself, but he tears up phone books and things like that 880 01:23:45,860 --> 01:23:47,860 And he can throw the ball 881 01:23:47,860 --> 01:23:52,860 It's 2-2 delivery, swing and a foul out of play 882 01:23:52,860 --> 01:23:59,860 Beale confesses that he has difficulty regimenting himself with regard to his weight 883 01:23:59,860 --> 01:24:02,860 And he knows that he has hurt his career 884 01:24:02,860 --> 01:24:05,860 He said I just can't make myself do it during the off season 885 01:24:05,860 --> 01:24:08,860 2-2 pitch and a bouncer to second and a big hop to Mazurowski 886 01:24:08,860 --> 01:24:11,860 He'll throw the first and Cruz is out 887 01:24:11,860 --> 01:24:14,860 Cruz does get down that line 888 01:24:14,860 --> 01:24:25,860 He's out and he's 1 for 4, here's Torrey trying to make it 4 for 4 889 01:24:25,860 --> 01:24:31,860 Jim Woods and Torrey have a little something going with regard to a superstition 890 01:24:31,860 --> 01:24:39,860 When we ride the bus to the ballpark, Torrey wants Jim to sit with him 891 01:24:39,860 --> 01:24:46,860 Because he's had good success in the ballgame whenever that's occurred and happened tonight 892 01:24:46,860 --> 01:24:53,860 The pitch to Joe, a ball outside, ball one 893 01:24:53,860 --> 01:24:58,860 Torrey is 3 for 3, they're all singles, he has scored twice, he's driven in a run 894 01:24:58,860 --> 01:25:04,860 And he swings and hits it slowly foul down the third base line to even the count 1-1 895 01:25:04,860 --> 01:25:08,860 Alright Jim, you were seated elsewhere and he said get back here and sit with me 896 01:25:08,860 --> 01:25:11,860 Started that night in the doubleheader in Montreal and he had the 7 hits 897 01:25:11,860 --> 01:25:15,860 So when he gets on the bus now he looks around and sees where I am and makes me move 898 01:25:15,860 --> 01:25:20,860 Swing and a foul, one ball, two strikes 899 01:25:20,860 --> 01:25:24,860 Not that he's not a pleasant fellow to sit with anyway 900 01:25:24,860 --> 01:25:29,860 One ball, two strikes to Torrey, one man out, 6th inning, 8-0 Cardinals 901 01:25:29,860 --> 01:25:35,860 A pitch from Veal and it's a strike call 902 01:25:35,860 --> 01:25:40,860 And Torrey says nothing but I don't believe he thought much of the call 903 01:25:40,860 --> 01:25:43,860 He's out on strikes 904 01:25:48,860 --> 01:25:53,860 That's Veal's first strike out, he's retired the first two and Torrey is 3 for 4 905 01:25:53,860 --> 01:25:59,860 Here's Simmons who turns around to bat right handed, Ted is 2 for 3 tonight with 2 runs scored 906 01:25:59,860 --> 01:26:03,860 And a run batted in 907 01:26:03,860 --> 01:26:07,860 Swing and a miss and Veal can pump that ball 908 01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:11,860 He kept that one away from Simmons 909 01:26:14,860 --> 01:26:19,860 Cash at third, deep behind the bag, the pitch is made and a fly ball into right center field 910 01:26:19,860 --> 01:26:23,860 And that is another hit for Simmons, his third hit of the night 911 01:26:23,860 --> 01:26:28,860 Ted is on with 2 men out, Simmons is 3 for 4 912 01:26:30,860 --> 01:26:35,860 Started the night at 3-0-6, he's up around 3-10 now 913 01:26:38,860 --> 01:26:43,860 As we mentioned before, Lou Brock might be back in the Cardinal lineup tomorrow 914 01:26:43,860 --> 01:26:49,860 A right hander, Keeson will be pitching against the Redbirds, here's Haig hitting against Veal 915 01:26:49,860 --> 01:26:55,860 Joe with a 3 run homer in the first, then he struck out and was given a walk 916 01:26:55,860 --> 01:27:00,860 A strike swinging, breaking ball fooled him 917 01:27:03,860 --> 01:27:07,860 The Pirates will have the top of their order up in the 6th inning 918 01:27:07,860 --> 01:27:13,860 Haig missed again, swinging hard, strike 2 919 01:27:17,860 --> 01:27:23,860 On to the count, in the 0-2 pitch, misses outside 920 01:27:23,860 --> 01:27:31,860 Veal is the third pitcher, Bob Johnson started it for the Pirates, gave up 5 runs in one third of an inning 921 01:27:31,860 --> 01:27:35,860 And Bob Moose, allowed 3 runs 922 01:27:35,860 --> 01:27:43,860 Pitch to Haig, low, we mentioned earlier this could prove to be a profitable night for the Pirates 923 01:27:43,860 --> 01:27:49,860 Even if they lose, if they brought Bob Moose through, but he wasn't too impressive 924 01:27:51,860 --> 01:27:55,860 2-2 delivery, and Haig takes it way high, ball 3 925 01:27:55,860 --> 01:28:05,860 This Veal can hit a wild streak, the likes of which you've never seen 926 01:28:05,860 --> 01:28:11,860 A full count of 3-2 on Haig, and the runners, Simmons at first, will go with 2 men out 927 01:28:11,860 --> 01:28:15,860 As the Cardinals try to add to their 8-0 lead 928 01:28:15,860 --> 01:28:22,860 Veal is ready, Simmons is running, and there's a ball drilled foul into the right field corner 929 01:28:22,860 --> 01:28:28,860 The paid attendance tonight, 30,678 930 01:28:28,860 --> 01:28:33,860 They had 31,000 last night, and they're going to be sold out tomorrow 931 01:28:33,860 --> 01:28:37,860 They hold about 47 or so here, I believe 932 01:28:37,860 --> 01:28:41,860 Ball 4, Haig walks 933 01:28:46,860 --> 01:28:51,860 For the 3 dates the Cardinals have played here, the Pirates have drawn 83,000 934 01:28:51,860 --> 01:28:58,860 Now Kubiak turns around and bats right-handed, and comes up with 2-on-2-out 935 01:28:58,860 --> 01:29:06,860 Ted delivered a 2-run double in the 5th, also had a hit in the 1st, he's 2-for-3 936 01:29:06,860 --> 01:29:09,860 2-on-2-out 937 01:29:09,860 --> 01:29:18,860 Veal in his first inning of work, brings it home, breaking ball in there, and a called strike 938 01:29:18,860 --> 01:29:24,860 I don't imagine Kubiak has ever faced Veal before 939 01:29:24,860 --> 01:29:28,860 That's what they had in the press room tonight 940 01:29:28,860 --> 01:29:35,860 Veal, not Kubiak, a strike call at the knees, strike 2 941 01:29:35,860 --> 01:29:40,860 On to the count 942 01:29:40,860 --> 01:29:44,860 2-on-2-out on the Cardinals' 6th inning 943 01:29:44,860 --> 01:29:48,860 The pitch, high outside, way outside 944 01:29:48,860 --> 01:29:51,860 1-2 945 01:29:51,860 --> 01:29:57,860 Football, a first-quarter score, Baltimore 7, Chicago Bears 3 946 01:30:00,860 --> 01:30:06,860 Here's the pitch to Kubiak, swings and fouls it back 947 01:30:06,860 --> 01:30:09,860 1-2 948 01:30:09,860 --> 01:30:15,860 Cardinals scored 5 in the first, 3 in the 5th, have 2 men out in the 6th 949 01:30:20,860 --> 01:30:30,860 Veal slows it down, takes the handkerchief out of his pocket to mop his brow 950 01:30:30,860 --> 01:30:34,860 And then gets back on 951 01:30:34,860 --> 01:30:40,860 Simmons at second, Hague at first 952 01:30:40,860 --> 01:30:47,860 The 1-2 delivery coming, swinging a foul on a fastball, trying to go to right 953 01:30:50,860 --> 01:30:55,860 Ball back up on the screen and then down to the field 954 01:30:55,860 --> 01:31:02,860 Kubiak hanging in there, looking for his third hit 955 01:31:02,860 --> 01:31:08,860 Strike call, a fastball, forward in at the knees and Veal gets his second strike out of the inning 956 01:31:08,860 --> 01:31:12,860 The Cardinals lead 2 and they have stranded 8 while scoring 8 957 01:31:12,860 --> 01:31:16,860 No runs, one hit, no errors, a walk, two left 958 01:31:16,860 --> 01:31:21,860 In the Pirate's 6th inning, the top of the order will come up, the Cardinals lead 8 to nothing 959 01:31:21,860 --> 01:31:25,860 Do do do do do do 960 01:31:25,860 --> 01:31:31,860 Sit down, rest your mind, you've got lots of time, call a friend, talk about the day you had 961 01:31:31,860 --> 01:31:38,860 Pull up a chair, keep your shoes off there, get your troubles caused, friend, it ain't that bad 962 01:31:38,860 --> 01:31:45,860 With a life to lead, friend, there ain't no need to haggle, overnight time, entertainment 963 01:31:45,860 --> 01:31:51,860 You can sit at home when you're all alone and still have fun with the right arrangement 964 01:31:52,860 --> 01:31:56,860 That's the way Bush does it, with the right arrangement 965 01:31:56,860 --> 01:32:01,860 6-row barley and virgin hops, the best money can buy 966 01:32:01,860 --> 01:32:06,860 Lots of time to let the inbrewed carbonation happen naturally 967 01:32:06,860 --> 01:32:12,860 Rest your mind with a cold Bush, Bush does it like no other beer 968 01:32:12,860 --> 01:32:15,860 Visit our St. Louis Brewery and we will prove it 969 01:32:15,860 --> 01:32:22,860 Bush does it like no other beer 970 01:32:23,860 --> 01:32:31,860 In another baseball game, the Cubs hang on to their lead over Cincinnati 3-1 at the end of 7 971 01:32:31,860 --> 01:32:37,860 And in football, the Cardinals and Houston scoreless after one period 972 01:32:37,860 --> 01:32:44,860 Dave Cash leads off against Gibson and has held the Pirates Hitlers through the first five innings 973 01:32:44,860 --> 01:32:49,860 Ball one high from Bob who has struck out seven 974 01:32:49,860 --> 01:32:53,860 Walked two, Cardinals lead 8-0 975 01:32:53,860 --> 01:32:59,860 Next delivery, swing and a foul out of play, 1-1 will be Cash, Dabaliol and Oliver 976 01:32:59,860 --> 01:33:03,860 A lot of left-handed batters for Gibson to work on tonight 977 01:33:03,860 --> 01:33:10,860 Crowd whoops it up and Cash swings and a fly ball to right 978 01:33:10,860 --> 01:33:12,860 Hague is there, he's got it 979 01:33:12,860 --> 01:33:18,860 Hard hit ball but Hague had him played well, drifted back and made the catch 980 01:33:18,860 --> 01:33:20,860 Reaching above his head for the out 981 01:33:23,860 --> 01:33:25,860 Dabaliol is 0-2 982 01:33:26,860 --> 01:33:31,860 I know sometimes when we talk about a pitcher having a no hitter, people say we put the hex on 983 01:33:31,860 --> 01:33:38,860 Well, maybe in Salem, Massachusetts but not in 1971 984 01:33:41,860 --> 01:33:43,860 Dabaliol is 0-2 985 01:33:46,860 --> 01:33:48,860 He'll glide to center and bounce to short 986 01:33:48,860 --> 01:33:51,860 His first pitch is made and it is a ball high 987 01:33:52,860 --> 01:33:57,860 And if something like that were to happen, we'd want you to share all of the excitement and be aware of the fact that 988 01:33:57,860 --> 01:33:59,860 Such a game was in progress 989 01:33:59,860 --> 01:34:04,860 The next pitch and a fly ball to the shortstop, he got him on a change up 990 01:34:06,860 --> 01:34:13,860 A little pop fly to Maxwell, you couldn't really call it a line drive, it was hit so softly and that's the second out of the inning 991 01:34:13,860 --> 01:34:15,860 Now Oliver is up 992 01:34:15,860 --> 01:34:20,860 He's flied to left, popped to short, he usually hits the ball the opposite field, he's a left-handed batter 993 01:34:20,860 --> 01:34:24,860 Gibson's first one to him and it's a ball outside 994 01:34:24,860 --> 01:34:30,860 Cardinals trying to move within five of Pittsburgh, lead eight to nothing 995 01:34:30,860 --> 01:34:35,860 Swing and a bouncer to first, Gibson comes over to cover, Alou makes the out himself 996 01:34:35,860 --> 01:34:40,860 And at the end of six, Gibson still has not allowed a hit 997 01:34:40,860 --> 01:34:45,860 No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left 998 01:34:45,860 --> 01:34:48,860 You can start getting a little bit excited about this situation now 999 01:34:48,860 --> 01:34:51,860 Gibson has never had a hit before 1000 01:34:51,860 --> 01:34:55,860 At the end of six, the Cardinals lead eight to nothing 1001 01:34:55,860 --> 01:35:00,860 Nice home court, Bush does it like no other beer 1002 01:35:00,860 --> 01:35:01,860 Hiya Barney 1003 01:35:01,860 --> 01:35:06,860 Hi Jack, mind if I sit down, I'm getting to the age it takes me longer to rest than it does to get tired 1004 01:35:06,860 --> 01:35:08,860 Oh you're not old Barney 1005 01:35:08,860 --> 01:35:11,860 Well now that I know my way around I don't feel like going 1006 01:35:11,860 --> 01:35:14,860 Exciting night is just to turn up the electric blanket a bit 1007 01:35:14,860 --> 01:35:17,860 Yeah I'm still better than a ball player we had down home 1008 01:35:17,860 --> 01:35:21,860 So slow he couldn't beat out a walk Now that is slow 1009 01:35:21,860 --> 01:35:25,860 Took him an hour to make minute rice and lazy, nobody ever knew how tall he was 1010 01:35:25,860 --> 01:35:27,860 Never saw him completely standing up 1011 01:35:27,860 --> 01:35:29,860 I guess there are worse things than aging 1012 01:35:29,860 --> 01:35:33,860 Oh aging can be a good thing Jack, like with this Bush here 1013 01:35:33,860 --> 01:35:35,860 It's the extra time we take to smooth it out 1014 01:35:35,860 --> 01:35:37,860 Alive like it is Barney 1015 01:35:37,860 --> 01:35:40,860 That's just one of the things that makes Bush the best beer in the ballpark 1016 01:35:40,860 --> 01:35:41,860 I better get moving 1017 01:35:41,860 --> 01:35:43,860 Got fans waiting in our range 1018 01:35:43,860 --> 01:35:44,860 So soon you just got here 1019 01:35:44,860 --> 01:35:48,860 Yeah but a man stretches his legs according to the length of his blanket 1020 01:35:48,860 --> 01:35:49,860 See ya Jack 1021 01:35:49,860 --> 01:35:53,860 Ice cold Bush, Bush doesn't like no other beer 1022 01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,860 Barney the Bush man, say hi next time you see him 1023 01:35:58,860 --> 01:36:01,860 We're into the summer venting here, Maxville is the lead off 1024 01:36:01,860 --> 01:36:04,860 Batter and Veal slams a fastball passing for a strike 1025 01:36:04,860 --> 01:36:06,860 Max he is 0 for 2 on the night 1026 01:36:09,860 --> 01:36:11,860 Big left tender 1027 01:36:11,860 --> 01:36:15,860 Lays another one in and it's a foul ball out of play 1028 01:36:15,860 --> 01:36:17,860 Two quick strikes 1029 01:36:18,860 --> 01:36:20,860 Two weeks from tonight we'll be home with the Reds 1030 01:36:20,860 --> 01:36:22,860 And that's going to be Jerseyville Illinois night 1031 01:36:22,860 --> 01:36:25,860 Hope you'll be there, Menard County Illinois day on Sunday 1032 01:36:25,860 --> 01:36:29,860 And Vandalia Illinois Monday August 30th when the Mets come in 1033 01:36:31,860 --> 01:36:33,860 Pitch down low 1 and 2 1034 01:36:33,860 --> 01:36:38,860 You folks from Vandalia can secure your ticket information from Mr. Lamar Wiss 1035 01:36:38,860 --> 01:36:42,860 At 283-2282 the phone number 1036 01:36:42,860 --> 01:36:44,860 Ball 2 is outside 1037 01:36:44,860 --> 01:36:46,860 2 and 2 1038 01:36:48,860 --> 01:36:51,860 None on none out and the Cardinals comfortably in front 1039 01:36:51,860 --> 01:36:53,860 8 to nothing in the 7 1040 01:36:53,860 --> 01:36:56,860 Here's the pitch, it's wide, ball 3 1041 01:36:58,860 --> 01:37:01,860 Veal has been plagued with a lot of wildness during his career 1042 01:37:02,860 --> 01:37:06,860 Never was the great winner that they expected him to be off his minor league record 1043 01:37:06,860 --> 01:37:08,860 Another foul out of play 1044 01:37:08,860 --> 01:37:10,860 Full count 3 and 2 1045 01:37:17,860 --> 01:37:22,860 Outfield straight away for Maxville and Veal readies now for the payoff pitch 1046 01:37:22,860 --> 01:37:26,860 Drilling shot out towards center, here comes Oliver on the move, he got there 1047 01:37:29,860 --> 01:37:31,860 Maxville's good for a base hit 1048 01:37:31,860 --> 01:37:34,860 Taken away from him by Al Oliver and Bob Gibson will bat 1049 01:37:34,860 --> 01:37:38,860 Nothing for 2, he's driven in one of the 8 runs with a fly ball 1050 01:37:39,860 --> 01:37:43,860 The Pittsburgh fans are giving him a big hand as he comes up 1051 01:37:52,860 --> 01:37:54,860 He bats against Veal for the first time tonight 1052 01:37:55,860 --> 01:37:58,860 Fast ball right down the middle, 0-1 1053 01:37:58,860 --> 01:38:01,860 Robert Veal from Birmingham, Alabama 1054 01:38:01,860 --> 01:38:05,860 The overpowered Gibson with a fast ball as he swung and missed 2 strikes 1055 01:38:09,860 --> 01:38:13,860 And the next delivery, he just did get a piece of it and nicked it back onto the screen 1056 01:38:13,860 --> 01:38:16,860 And it runs back down, still no balls, 2 strikes 1057 01:38:21,860 --> 01:38:23,860 1 out here in the 7 1058 01:38:23,860 --> 01:38:27,860 Veal into the motion, here's the pitch to Gibby and it's a ball 1059 01:38:27,860 --> 01:38:29,860 Didn't miss by much, 1 and 2 1060 01:38:36,860 --> 01:38:39,860 Left hander delivers again and again he's wide 1061 01:38:39,860 --> 01:38:41,860 2 balls, 2 strikes 1062 01:38:42,860 --> 01:38:46,860 Johnson on the hook for the ball game, he gave up the first 5 runs after retiring 1063 01:38:46,860 --> 01:38:48,860 Only 1 run left, he's in the 7th 1064 01:38:48,860 --> 01:38:53,860 Johnson on the hook for the ball game, he gave up the first 5 runs after retiring 1065 01:38:53,860 --> 01:38:56,860 Only 1 man in the first inning before Murtaugh removed him 1066 01:38:56,860 --> 01:38:59,860 2-2 pitch, fly ball toward right 1067 01:38:59,860 --> 01:39:04,860 Davalillo drifting 2 or 3 steps to his left, grabs it off, 2 outs 1068 01:39:06,860 --> 01:39:08,860 2 and out of Manny Allou 1069 01:39:08,860 --> 01:39:11,860 Allou is hitless on the night, although he's walked twice 1070 01:39:11,860 --> 01:39:21,860 And he's going to be taking his time about getting up there with Gibson having run down the first baseline on the high fly ball 1071 01:39:21,860 --> 01:39:26,860 It was obviously going to be caught, Gibby didn't run all out 1072 01:39:29,860 --> 01:39:35,860 Final game of this series tomorrow and then on to the Rhineland, the Riverfront Stadium 1073 01:39:35,860 --> 01:39:40,860 For 3 with the Reds, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights 1074 01:39:40,860 --> 01:39:52,860 Working veal to Allou, bouncing ball up the middle, Mazurowski goes over, short hops and does not come up with it 1075 01:39:52,860 --> 01:39:57,860 It's an error, charge to Bill Mazurowski 1076 01:39:57,860 --> 01:40:05,860 And Allou gets a line, that's the second pirate error of the night 1077 01:40:05,860 --> 01:40:08,860 And Sizemore has a chance, 1 for 4 1078 01:40:08,860 --> 01:40:19,860 Maz got to the ball and couldn't handle the tricky in between hops, he played every hop well except the last one 1079 01:40:19,860 --> 01:40:22,860 Fastball over for a strike, going 1 1080 01:40:26,860 --> 01:40:31,860 Houston and Atlanta are scoreless at the end of 3 in their night game down at Lannaway 1081 01:40:31,860 --> 01:40:39,860 Veal's next pitch, fastball low, relying almost entirely on his fastball, which is still pretty zingy 1082 01:40:39,860 --> 01:40:45,860 Although it does not quite have the velocity as a young Bob Veal did several years ago 1083 01:40:45,860 --> 01:40:49,860 One ball, one strike, a pitch on the corner, 1 and 2 1084 01:40:53,860 --> 01:40:57,860 Cardinals got them in bunches tonight, 5 in the first and 3 in the fifth 1085 01:40:57,860 --> 01:41:03,860 They've had 11 hits overall, Sizemore taps one down to Bob Robertson 1086 01:41:03,860 --> 01:41:06,860 He's up on all over to Veal, safe! 1087 01:41:06,860 --> 01:41:12,860 A good hustling slide by Sizemore, just absolutely out-hustled Veal to the bank, is the only way you can call it 1088 01:41:12,860 --> 01:41:19,860 He went in there sliding, and that slide got him in ahead of Veal, and it'll be a base hit for Sizemore 1089 01:41:19,860 --> 01:41:22,860 And that is hustle all the way, my friends 1090 01:41:22,860 --> 01:41:29,860 On the play, Alou moved into second, and now Cruz will bat with 2 on and 2 out 1091 01:41:32,860 --> 01:41:36,860 Veal was extremely slow coming to cover 1092 01:41:38,860 --> 01:41:44,860 Cruz on the night, singled his first time up, has gone out the next 3 times, 1 for 4 1093 01:41:44,860 --> 01:41:52,860 They're in the ninth inning at Cincinnati, Cubs 3, Reds 1 1094 01:41:52,860 --> 01:41:58,860 The Cubs are hanging right on the coattails of the Cardinals 1095 01:41:58,860 --> 01:42:03,860 Looking at the score and saying they've got a pretty good chance to pick up a full game on the Pirates 2 1096 01:42:03,860 --> 01:42:06,860 Curve ball over, strike call 1097 01:42:06,860 --> 01:42:09,860 Alou leads off second, Sizemore off first 1098 01:42:09,860 --> 01:42:14,860 Real wicked fastball outside, 1 and 1 the count 1099 01:42:19,860 --> 01:42:26,860 This has been the only wide open game of this series, the other two were real tight-knit pitching battles 1100 01:42:26,860 --> 01:42:29,860 High to Cruz, and he's got a good shot 1101 01:42:29,860 --> 01:42:37,860 And Gibson has just been magnificent so far, he has a no-hitter going to the seventh inning 1102 01:42:40,860 --> 01:42:43,860 He gets through the seventh, the tension will be building up around here 1103 01:42:43,860 --> 01:42:47,860 And I'll tell you one reason why, or a lot of reasons, of course 1104 01:42:47,860 --> 01:42:56,860 People get excited about any no-hitter, and they get excited about the fact that they're going to be able to get a good shot 1105 01:42:56,860 --> 01:43:03,860 Of course, people get excited about any no-hitter, whether it's pitched against them or for them 1106 01:43:03,860 --> 01:43:07,860 Little pop foul, down, out of play 1107 01:43:07,860 --> 01:43:13,860 There has never been a no-hit game pitched in the city of Pittsburgh 1108 01:43:13,860 --> 01:43:18,860 In the old ballpark, Forbes Field, which was built in 1909, there was never a no-hitter thrown there 1109 01:43:18,860 --> 01:43:21,860 There's never been one thrown here 1110 01:43:21,860 --> 01:43:27,860 As close as anybody came was this year when Luke Walker took a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Dodgers 1111 01:43:27,860 --> 01:43:31,860 And the first man up, Joe Ferguson, hit a home run to ruin it for him 1112 01:43:34,860 --> 01:43:36,860 Two balls, two strikes 1113 01:43:36,860 --> 01:43:40,860 Vio Works strike three called, and Cruz is out of there 1114 01:43:40,860 --> 01:43:46,860 No runs, one hit, one error, two left, and the Cardinals have stranded ten 1115 01:43:46,860 --> 01:43:51,860 But nonetheless, going to the bottom of the seventh, they lead 1116 01:44:16,860 --> 01:44:39,860 Whether you're working, relaxing, or just making friendly conversation, Red Fox Chewing Tobacco makes things go a little smoother 1117 01:44:39,860 --> 01:44:46,860 So keep some handy, it's got flavor with life in it 1118 01:44:50,860 --> 01:44:53,860 So here we go, and looky who's up 1119 01:44:53,860 --> 01:44:55,860 Willie Starjil, struck out and walked 1120 01:44:55,860 --> 01:44:58,860 Gibson has walked a pair in the ballgame 1121 01:44:58,860 --> 01:45:01,860 Big swing by Starjil and a foul ball out of play 1122 01:45:01,860 --> 01:45:04,860 No balls and a strike 1123 01:45:04,860 --> 01:45:10,860 And this big crowd now is starting to roar 1124 01:45:10,860 --> 01:45:12,860 30,000 plus in here 1125 01:45:12,860 --> 01:45:14,860 Gibson brings it in to Willie, it's high 1126 01:45:14,860 --> 01:45:22,860 A blazing fastball from Gibson, one and one they count 1127 01:45:22,860 --> 01:45:24,860 Outfield, deep for Starjil, around toward right 1128 01:45:24,860 --> 01:45:29,860 Check swing, a drive down the left field line, it's foul 1129 01:45:29,860 --> 01:45:36,860 One and two 1130 01:45:36,860 --> 01:45:39,860 Milton A. is next and then Bob Robertson 1131 01:45:39,860 --> 01:45:49,860 Here's the pitch to Starjil, just off the corner, two and two they count 1132 01:45:49,860 --> 01:45:55,860 Gibson ready quickly, brings in the delivery, strike, three, swinging, Starjil goes down on strikes 1133 01:45:55,860 --> 01:46:00,860 That's now eight for Gibson, and there's one away in the seventh 1134 01:46:00,860 --> 01:46:04,860 Milton A. bats now, he's nothing for two 1135 01:46:04,860 --> 01:46:09,860 One of the three base runners that the Pirates have had all night 1136 01:46:09,860 --> 01:46:12,860 He struck out in the second inning and the pitch got away from Simmons 1137 01:46:12,860 --> 01:46:14,860 That was eventually ruled a wild pitch 1138 01:46:14,860 --> 01:46:19,860 And the two walks, the only men that the Pirates have have aboard 1139 01:46:19,860 --> 01:46:24,860 Gibson pops a fastball, just a little high, one ball no strikes 1140 01:46:24,860 --> 01:46:31,860 Works again to the left hand, inning catcher, there's a drilling shot 1141 01:46:31,860 --> 01:46:36,860 Deep left center field, Cruz on the move, way back, way back, and he got there 1142 01:46:36,860 --> 01:46:38,860 Cruz up the wall, saved it 1143 01:46:38,860 --> 01:46:43,860 Jose Cruz had to run a country mile, believe me my friends, and he got there 1144 01:46:43,860 --> 01:46:46,860 Ran out from under his cap and staggered at the base of the wall 1145 01:46:46,860 --> 01:46:50,860 And dragged it down, there are two men out 1146 01:46:50,860 --> 01:46:56,860 And here is Bob Robertson, up twice, struck out twice 1147 01:46:56,860 --> 01:47:04,860 Gibson has eight K's hung up in the book tonight 1148 01:47:04,860 --> 01:47:08,860 And he's had everything going for him 1149 01:47:08,860 --> 01:47:15,860 Robertson checks off the first pitch, he did everything but swing at it, one ball no strikes 1150 01:47:15,860 --> 01:47:26,860 Robbie out of the batter's box right now, I don't know what's the matter with him 1151 01:47:26,860 --> 01:47:31,860 Gibson doesn't wait very long for him, brings it in, strike call 1152 01:47:31,860 --> 01:47:36,860 You can just see the smoke pouring off some of Gibson's deliveries 1153 01:47:36,860 --> 01:47:39,860 Two men out, seven theny, nobody on, one one count 1154 01:47:39,860 --> 01:47:42,860 On the buck, first baseman, the delivery ripped down, he got a cut 1155 01:47:42,860 --> 01:47:53,860 Foul back into the screen, strike two, one ball, two strikes 1156 01:47:53,860 --> 01:47:57,860 Gibson again has to wait as Robertson tries to break his concentration and rhythm 1157 01:47:57,860 --> 01:48:05,860 Here's the delivery, a ball, breaking ball wide, two balls, two strikes 1158 01:48:05,860 --> 01:48:08,860 Mazeroski on deck 1159 01:48:08,860 --> 01:48:13,860 Here's Gibson, into the two-two movement, and a swing and a miss, no foul ball 1160 01:48:13,860 --> 01:48:18,860 The crowd roared but the ball just did roll out of the glove of Ted Simmons and was just barely tipped 1161 01:48:18,860 --> 01:48:25,860 Still two and two 1162 01:48:25,860 --> 01:48:30,860 Get a little apprehensive when you get that close to getting it out, here's the pitch outside 1163 01:48:30,860 --> 01:48:34,860 Full count now, three and two 1164 01:48:34,860 --> 01:48:39,860 And again Robertson backs away 1165 01:48:39,860 --> 01:48:43,860 He squeezes that bat, you can almost see the sawdust come running out of it 1166 01:48:43,860 --> 01:48:49,860 Three balls, two strikes, and the pitch, bouncing ball just foul past Torrey 1167 01:48:49,860 --> 01:48:54,860 Oh man, that was less than a foot, Torrey lunged for it, couldn't get a glove on it 1168 01:48:54,860 --> 01:49:00,860 And it was just outside the line, Gibson has had two close calls in this inning 1169 01:49:00,860 --> 01:49:04,860 The long drive hit by May and that one hit right there by Robertson 1170 01:49:04,860 --> 01:49:16,860 Three balls, two strikes, big right hander into the motion, here's the delivery, foul back and out of play 1171 01:49:16,860 --> 01:49:23,860 Oh Robertson is giving him a battle and staying alive here and Gibson is trying to put him away 1172 01:49:23,860 --> 01:49:29,860 Into the dugout, three-two pitch comes in again, let up delivery, he lost him, ball four 1173 01:49:29,860 --> 01:49:34,860 Third walk given up by Gibby, and now the batter will be Bill Mazurowski 1174 01:49:34,860 --> 01:49:41,860 Who has popped up, grounded out, and will pause for station identification on the Cardinals baseball network 1175 01:49:41,860 --> 01:49:59,860 Man has a drilling line drive and Maxey's got it, Maxville right at his knees 1176 01:49:59,860 --> 01:50:05,860 Took a scorching line drive off the bat of Bill Mazurowski and Gibson is safely through the seven 1177 01:50:05,860 --> 01:50:12,860 No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left, at the end of seven innings the Cardinals eight runs on twelve hits 1178 01:50:12,860 --> 01:50:39,860 The Pirates no runs and no hits 1179 01:50:42,860 --> 01:51:04,860 In beer, there's only one way to make it, and that's the way Butch does it, with the best ingredients and brewing skills 1180 01:51:04,860 --> 01:51:18,860 Visit our brewery and see why 1181 01:51:18,860 --> 01:51:23,860 Ville fires the first pitch into touring, it's down low, one ball no strikes, Joe has three hits on the night 1182 01:51:23,860 --> 01:51:30,860 Three for four and it's wide, two and 0 the count, struck out his last time up or rather was called out on strikes 1183 01:51:30,860 --> 01:51:37,860 Ville didn't think it was, but Wendelstadt did, two nothing pitch from the king size left hander and a rip by Torrey and a foul 1184 01:51:37,860 --> 01:51:45,860 Two and one, Seidman has kind of died down here with the Cardinals batting, but it will build up and Gibson takes that no hitter to the mound in the eighth inning 1185 01:51:45,860 --> 01:52:01,860 There's a ball high to Torrey, up around the peak of the cap, here's Ville ready to move the delivery in again and a high pop up 1186 01:52:01,860 --> 01:52:09,860 Coming back, let's see, Milt May got it right at the screen, and he had a chance 1187 01:52:09,860 --> 01:52:26,860 Well Torrey has a three for five night as he fouls out to Milt May, Ted Simmons bats now and he's had a double and two singles in four trips to the plate 1188 01:52:26,860 --> 01:52:32,860 One out here in the top of the eighth inning, Cardinals have out hit the Pirates 12 to nothing 1189 01:52:32,860 --> 01:52:42,860 Here's a line drive by Simmons and I do believe he's got another hit, he has, Simmons hangs out his fourth hit of the night, he's four for five 1190 01:52:42,860 --> 01:52:51,860 This could be a night that Mr. Simmons will long remember, one on one out and Joe Hague, one hit and two official trips to the plate 1191 01:52:51,860 --> 01:53:00,860 It left the ballpark to cap off the five run first inning when the Cardinals clobbered Bob Johnson and drove him to an early shower 1192 01:53:00,860 --> 01:53:10,860 A ball outside, one and 0 the count, at Chicago, Cuellar for Baltimore, Bradley for the White Sox 1193 01:53:10,860 --> 01:53:17,860 Cuellar had been going very good, bouncing ball up the middle, center field, Simmons down to second and he's going to stop right there 1194 01:53:17,860 --> 01:53:27,860 As Joe Hague gets his second hit of the night and the Cardinals 14th base ball off pirate pitching 1195 01:53:27,860 --> 01:53:40,860 Kubiak the batter now, he had a big hit back in the fifth inning, a double down into the right field corner that drove in a couple and overall he's two for four 1196 01:53:40,860 --> 01:53:51,860 Cardinals came to play when they arrived in Pittsburgh early Thursday morning, fastball low from Veele, one ball no strikes 1197 01:53:51,860 --> 01:53:58,860 Simmons at second, Hague at first, only one man out and the Redbirds in front, eight nothing, eight inning 1198 01:53:58,860 --> 01:54:10,860 Big cut by Kubiak and he tried to go down that right field corner again, I'll tell you, one and one they count 1199 01:54:10,860 --> 01:54:17,860 Veele brings in his next pitch, it's nowhere near the plate, two balls and a strike 1200 01:54:17,860 --> 01:54:27,860 Johnson, Moose and Veele have been the three hurlers tonight for Danny Martell 1201 01:54:27,860 --> 01:54:38,860 Veele again has his handkerchief out, he has a lot of trouble with his eyeglasses that fog up on him and I can understand why, as smoggy as it is around here tonight 1202 01:54:38,860 --> 01:54:51,860 Here's the 2-1 pitch, foul back out of play, 2-2 1203 01:54:51,860 --> 01:55:00,860 Two balls, two strikes, two on, the Cardinals trying to get some more 1204 01:55:00,860 --> 01:55:07,860 Trying to get even with their frustrations against the Pirates last year and in the early part of this season 1205 01:55:07,860 --> 01:55:14,860 Wide ball three, full count three and two 1206 01:55:14,860 --> 01:55:23,860 Kubiak takes a look at Benson, another three-two count, not much Vern can help him with, we'll see if Red starts the runners here 1207 01:55:23,860 --> 01:55:29,860 He doesn't and the three-two pitch is high, he walked him and the Cardinals have the bases fall 1208 01:55:29,860 --> 01:55:41,860 And Maxey will bat, he's hitless on the night, he's 0-3, hit the ball hard last time up but Oliver made a fine running catch to deprive him of a base hit 1209 01:55:41,860 --> 01:55:47,860 Simmons on at third, Haig the runner at second and now Kubiak is at first with one out 1210 01:55:47,860 --> 01:55:54,860 And the Bucks keep their infield at double play depth 1211 01:55:54,860 --> 01:55:59,860 They are down by eight at this late stage of the ball game 1212 01:55:59,860 --> 01:56:12,860 Up high to Maxville, one ball no strikes, Veale who has a tendency to go wild, may be headed that direction 1213 01:56:12,860 --> 01:56:19,860 Big guy brings it down again, ball two is up high, two balls no strikes 1214 01:56:19,860 --> 01:56:25,860 And it is Veale forever, there's nobody warming up in the Pirate Bowl panel 1215 01:56:25,860 --> 01:56:30,860 You know you really don't like to see Gibson on the bench this long Jim 1216 01:56:30,860 --> 01:56:36,860 That's right, not with the rhythm that he's got going for him, there's ball three outside, three and all the count 1217 01:56:36,860 --> 01:56:42,860 And Veale is on the verge of walking in another Cardinal run 1218 01:56:42,860 --> 01:56:48,860 And this crowd is hooting and hollering even though they got a first place ball club here, they're really letting them have it in this slump 1219 01:56:48,860 --> 01:56:55,860 3-0 pitch, strike call, 3-1 1220 01:56:55,860 --> 01:57:01,860 Three runners lead away for the Cardinals, Veale gets ready in a hurry, fires it high, ball four and a run is forced in 1221 01:57:01,860 --> 01:57:05,860 That makes it nine to nothing 1222 01:57:05,860 --> 01:57:14,860 Maxville will receive credit for a run batted in and Veale's ERA may be creeping up a little higher 1223 01:57:14,860 --> 01:57:19,860 The base is still loaded to Bob Gibson, listen to the hands for him 1224 01:57:19,860 --> 01:57:32,860 Bob nothing for three, he drove in a run with a fly ball as the opportunity is the same here 1225 01:57:32,860 --> 01:57:43,860 And Veale is nowhere near the plate, he's gone wild, wild, one ball no strikes 1226 01:57:43,860 --> 01:57:53,860 Cardinal runners at every base, Robertson up a little bit at first, a strike poured right down the middle, one and one 1227 01:57:53,860 --> 01:57:59,860 Now Brials does come up in the parent bullpen 1228 01:57:59,860 --> 01:58:08,860 1-1 pitch from Big Bob, a throw down to first and back in plenty of time as Maxville pitch with the ball, two and one they count 1229 01:58:08,860 --> 01:58:16,860 Veale is only one batter away from the top of the batting order, Mattie Allou 1230 01:58:16,860 --> 01:58:29,860 Nine nothing, St. Louis, Veale wiping his glasses once more 1231 01:58:29,860 --> 01:58:34,860 He's a white handkerchief now, he used to always carry a big red bandana out there 1232 01:58:34,860 --> 01:58:43,860 With a trademark of his for a number of years, two balls one strike 1233 01:58:43,860 --> 01:59:00,860 Working to Gibson, swing by Bob and a miss two to the count, came right over the top with a fastball 1234 01:59:00,860 --> 01:59:04,860 Delivery is a shot to left field, the base hit, Hague is in the score 1235 01:59:04,860 --> 01:59:12,860 Here comes Kubiak and Stargell's throw is not in time, he scores, it's 11-0 1236 01:59:12,860 --> 01:59:18,860 Bob Gibson drives in his second and third runs of the night, he's got eight overall 1237 01:59:18,860 --> 01:59:26,860 And the Cardinals now have an 11-0 lead, Maxville stopped at second, still only one man out and Allou will be the batter 1238 01:59:26,860 --> 01:59:36,860 I guess I would see Gibson not run the bases in this spot, Jim, but that's a little additional effort he's going to have to put out this evening 1239 01:59:36,860 --> 01:59:42,860 Bring a jacket down to him, yeah I'm like you, it's a long inning for Gibby not to be on that mound 1240 01:59:42,860 --> 01:59:48,860 With the fasts he likes to pitch and his rhythm, but we'll just have to see how it works out 1241 01:59:48,860 --> 01:59:55,860 Cardinals 11 runs, 15 hits, Pirates no runs, no hits, and they're taking a jacket down to Gibson 1242 01:59:55,860 --> 02:00:02,860 Five runs in the first setting, three more in the fifth, three more in the eighth 1243 02:00:02,860 --> 02:00:09,860 And the Cardinals are giving the Pirates a real old fashioned thrashing 1244 02:00:09,860 --> 02:00:16,860 Pitch to Allou, wide and low, one ball no strikes 1245 02:00:16,860 --> 02:00:22,860 Sizemore will be next, still only one man out in the inning 1246 02:00:22,860 --> 02:00:30,860 Maddie a foul over the screen, one and one 1247 02:00:30,860 --> 02:00:39,860 Tomorrow afternoon, Bruce Keeson and Reggie Cleveland in the windup of this big, big four game set 1248 02:00:39,860 --> 02:00:51,860 And a packed house will be here, one-one delivery, swing by Allou, he got nothing, one and two 1249 02:00:51,860 --> 02:00:58,860 Most of the big crowd sticking around, and you know why, with this thing that Gibson's got going 1250 02:00:58,860 --> 02:01:06,860 There's a pitch foul back out of play, otherwise with an 11-0 score, I think many of them would have departed homeward 1251 02:01:06,860 --> 02:01:21,860 They're going to stick around to see if this, perhaps, is the night that the city of Pittsburgh will see its first no-hitter in baseball history 1252 02:01:21,860 --> 02:01:30,860 Swing and a miss, night three 1253 02:01:30,860 --> 02:01:36,860 Chuck points out, in the olden days, they discount their baseball history here from Forbes Field 1254 02:01:36,860 --> 02:01:43,860 There was one pitched here by somebody in 1907, but they never really counted that as modern-day baseball 1255 02:01:43,860 --> 02:01:46,860 They did everything from Forbes Field, which was built in 1909 1256 02:01:46,860 --> 02:01:51,860 Sizemore bats here with two outs and two on 1257 02:01:51,860 --> 02:01:59,860 Fouls off the first pitch for a strike, 0-1 the count 1258 02:01:59,860 --> 02:02:09,860 11-0, Redbirds, top of the eighth inning 1259 02:02:09,860 --> 02:02:15,860 Neal trying to put Sizemore away, and he almost threw that pitch away, one ball, one strike 1260 02:02:15,860 --> 02:02:19,860 At the end of four innings, Atlanta holds a 1-0 lead over Houston 1261 02:02:19,860 --> 02:02:25,860 Giants lost today, or won today, 6-5, the Dodgers are playing tonight 1262 02:02:25,860 --> 02:02:32,860 With the pressure on them 1263 02:02:32,860 --> 02:02:39,860 Neal works and Sizemore bangs it right down to Cash, who steps on third for the force-out of Maxwell to retire the side 1264 02:02:39,860 --> 02:02:45,860 Three more runs on three hits, no errors, two more left 1265 02:02:45,860 --> 02:02:50,860 Cardinals have left 12-1, but going to the bottom of the eighth, they lead 11-0 1266 02:02:50,860 --> 02:02:59,860 The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence 1267 02:02:59,860 --> 02:03:07,860 That's what he told me, and I haven't seen the guy that I love since 1268 02:03:07,860 --> 02:03:12,860 He told me he was through for greener pastures, he had found 1269 02:03:12,860 --> 02:03:16,860 That he was tired of playing, old man was leaving his hip-hand 1270 02:03:16,860 --> 02:03:23,860 I said, okay, be on your way, someday you'll know 1271 02:03:23,860 --> 02:03:26,860 Without love, green grass won't grow 1272 02:03:26,860 --> 02:03:31,860 Take a good look before you change anything, especially your beer 1273 02:03:31,860 --> 02:03:35,860 Bush is brewed with all the time it takes to let the fine ingredients mellow 1274 02:03:35,860 --> 02:03:39,860 And we wait even longer while our beer builds its own natural bubbles 1275 02:03:39,860 --> 02:03:44,860 Worth the extra time? Well, beer drinkers all over will tell you 1276 02:03:44,860 --> 02:03:51,860 Bush has been like no other beer 1277 02:04:14,860 --> 02:04:21,860 And they're applauding Gibson on every out now 1278 02:04:21,860 --> 02:04:27,860 The batter is going to be Klienz, he'll pinch hit for Bob Veale, Gene Klienz 1279 02:04:27,860 --> 02:04:38,860 A right-hand hitter, batting at 3-0-3, a home run, 18-ban it in 1280 02:04:38,860 --> 02:04:42,860 And he's taking his time about getting up there 1281 02:04:42,860 --> 02:04:49,860 So this is the number 9 hitter coming up, Klienz to bat for Veale 1282 02:04:49,860 --> 02:04:54,860 You know, that walk that Gibson issued in the 7th is going to ensure the fact that Stargill is going to come up again 1283 02:04:54,860 --> 02:04:58,860 Yeah, sure is, you look back on it now, Jack 1284 02:04:58,860 --> 02:05:03,860 Torrey stays in tight, Klienz has got great speed 1285 02:05:03,860 --> 02:05:08,860 And has displayed it in this series so far 1286 02:05:08,860 --> 02:05:18,860 Gibby ready to work, Klienz takes the ball, down low, one ball, no strikes 1287 02:05:18,860 --> 02:05:23,860 Gibson has to wait for him, all these pirate hitters seem to be trying to break Gibson's rhythm and concentration 1288 02:05:23,860 --> 02:05:32,860 Here's the delivery, a swing and a miss, strike one, one and one the count 1289 02:05:32,860 --> 02:05:42,860 One out, nobody on, Gibson has issued three walks, here's the delivery, moved outside, ball two, two and one 1290 02:05:42,860 --> 02:05:50,860 And the strike out and the wild pitch that allowed Milton A. to get on, that's been the only four pirate baserunners tonight 1291 02:05:50,860 --> 02:05:56,860 Two balls and a strike, pitch coming, strike, two, call, right down the middle 1292 02:05:56,860 --> 02:06:01,860 And the count goes to two and two 1293 02:06:01,860 --> 02:06:06,860 And again, Gene Klienz steps out 1294 02:06:06,860 --> 02:06:14,860 Gibson just waits for him, pumps immediately, delivers, high ball three, full count three and two 1295 02:06:14,860 --> 02:06:21,860 Gibson looks around behind him, check the scoreboard, check his outfield, which is a little bit around toward right 1296 02:06:21,860 --> 02:06:32,860 And a big three-two pitch coming up here to the pinch hitter Klienz, here's the delivery and it's a foul out of play 1297 02:06:32,860 --> 02:06:35,860 I think Brooke Lawrence is feeling the pressure over there a little bit, Jack 1298 02:06:35,860 --> 02:06:38,860 I tell you, his hands are just as sweaty as mine, dude 1299 02:06:38,860 --> 02:06:44,860 Three balls, two strikes, Gibson works, got him, strike three, swinging 1300 02:06:44,860 --> 02:06:50,860 Number nine goes into the books for Gibson and now he has two men out in the last half of the eighth inning 1301 02:06:50,860 --> 02:06:53,860 And the top of the batting order, Dave Cash 1302 02:06:53,860 --> 02:06:58,860 I fear this fellow as much as anybody in the pirate lineup, Jim 1303 02:06:58,860 --> 02:07:01,860 Three times tonight, he has gone the right field 1304 02:07:01,860 --> 02:07:07,860 The last time it was a line drive that Hague caught 1305 02:07:07,860 --> 02:07:14,860 Gibson works to him, pops it through, strike call, low and one, the count 1306 02:07:14,860 --> 02:07:18,860 Torrey has deepened about a step, he's still up on the astroturf, here's the delivery 1307 02:07:18,860 --> 02:07:22,860 Ground ball, hit down to Torrey, leaps up high, gets it, throws and turns 1308 02:07:22,860 --> 02:07:25,860 Gibson's got a no-hitter through eight 1309 02:07:25,860 --> 02:07:29,860 At the end of eight, inning to play, 11 to nothing, St. Louis 1310 02:07:33,860 --> 02:07:36,860 You want action?

bottom of the ninth right now 1331 02:09:03,860 --> 02:09:08,860 I wonder if you can wave your outs 1332 02:09:08,860 --> 02:09:13,860 Braus into the game with a record of 5-2, an earned run average of 3.90 1333 02:09:13,860 --> 02:09:17,860 Cardinals scored 5 off of Johnson, the starter 1334 02:09:17,860 --> 02:09:22,860 3 off of Moose, 3 against Veal 1335 02:09:22,860 --> 02:09:25,860 And will send up Cruz to start the ninth inning 1336 02:09:25,860 --> 02:09:29,860 The Cardinals have out hit Pittsburgh 15 to nothing 1337 02:09:29,860 --> 02:09:31,860 And lead 11 to nothing 1338 02:09:31,860 --> 02:09:37,860 And in the pirate ninth, folks, Davalio, Oliver, and Starjol 1339 02:09:37,860 --> 02:10:01,860 3 left-handed batters against Gibson who will have a no-hitter going into that ninth inning 1340 02:10:01,860 --> 02:10:08,860 We get the information that Nicholas Medics pitched a no-hitter in 1907 1341 02:10:08,860 --> 02:10:15,860 In the ballpark the pirates used before they were into Forbes Field 1342 02:10:15,860 --> 02:10:21,860 Jose Cruz leads off in the Cardinal ninth inning 1343 02:10:21,860 --> 02:10:26,860 And don't think, folks, that the plate umpire, who in this case is Harry Wendelstedt 1344 02:10:26,860 --> 02:10:29,860 Is not anticipating the bottom of the ninth 1345 02:10:29,860 --> 02:10:33,860 The pitch on the way to Cruz, a swing and a high pop foul 1346 02:10:33,860 --> 02:10:38,860 Coming back near the screen, on the screen, strike one to Cruz 1347 02:10:38,860 --> 02:10:45,860 Jose is 1 for 5 tonight 1348 02:10:45,860 --> 02:10:49,860 He got a base hit in the first inning off the glove of the third baseman 1349 02:10:49,860 --> 02:10:58,860 Which turned out to be a key hit in the first when the Cardinals scored 5 1350 02:10:58,860 --> 02:11:00,860 Torrey will be up next 1351 02:11:00,860 --> 02:11:03,860 Cruz takes a ball in the dirt 1352 02:11:03,860 --> 02:11:07,860 Torrey is 3 for 5 in the ball game tonight 1353 02:11:07,860 --> 02:11:15,860 No matter what he does in the last at bat, his average will increase 1354 02:11:15,860 --> 02:11:20,860 Riles pitches, Cruz a fly ball to center field, Oliver drifts back to make the catch 1355 02:11:20,860 --> 02:11:24,860 He's there and he has it for the out 1356 02:11:24,860 --> 02:11:28,860 Cruz fly to center 1357 02:11:28,860 --> 02:11:35,860 The batter is Joe Torrey 1358 02:11:35,860 --> 02:11:45,860 Joe single his first three times and struck out and fouled up 1359 02:11:45,860 --> 02:11:50,860 Outfield deep around to the left 1360 02:11:50,860 --> 02:11:54,860 Nelson Briles in his first inning of work pitches and Torrey takes a ball outside 1361 02:11:54,860 --> 02:11:56,860 He goes back to the screen 1362 02:11:56,860 --> 02:12:04,860 Reggie Cleveland against Bruce Keeson tomorrow 1363 02:12:04,860 --> 02:12:07,860 Outfield deep to the left is Torrey waits, Briles brings it home 1364 02:12:07,860 --> 02:12:12,860 And there's a ground ball to the left of the third baseman, another hit for Torrey 1365 02:12:12,860 --> 02:12:17,860 Torrey is 4 for 6 on the night 1366 02:12:17,860 --> 02:12:23,860 Torrey gets a single with one out here 1367 02:12:23,860 --> 02:12:28,860 And the batter is Simmons who already has 4 hits in the ball game 1368 02:12:28,860 --> 02:12:41,860 Torrey now has 169 hits for the year 1369 02:12:41,860 --> 02:12:45,860 Simmons at the plate 1370 02:12:45,860 --> 02:12:49,860 Benning left handed against Briles, swings and hits it back to the pitcher 1371 02:12:49,860 --> 02:12:52,860 Great play, throws to second out, throws to first out 1372 02:12:52,860 --> 02:12:58,860 A tremendous play by Briles who grabbed that ball just off his left ear 1373 02:12:58,860 --> 02:13:02,860 Throw to the shortstop, on to first base 1374 02:13:02,860 --> 02:13:11,860 A 1-6-3 double play, no runs, one hit, no errors and nobody left 1375 02:13:11,860 --> 02:13:17,860 And here we go folks, into the bottom of the ninth 1376 02:13:17,860 --> 02:13:21,860 With Bob Gibson owning a no-hitter 1377 02:13:21,860 --> 02:13:26,860 It will be D'Avalio, Oliver and Stardale 1378 02:13:26,860 --> 02:13:31,860 And the Cardinals lead 11-0 1379 02:13:31,860 --> 02:13:35,860 Gibson has struck out 9 1380 02:13:35,860 --> 02:13:37,860 He has walked 3 1381 02:13:37,860 --> 02:13:41,860 One other batter reached as a result of a dropped third strike 1382 02:13:41,860 --> 02:13:58,860 4 base runners therefore allowed and 4 men left on base 1383 02:13:58,860 --> 02:14:01,860 Gibson taking his warm-up tosses 1384 02:14:01,860 --> 02:14:04,860 D'Avalio's flying to center, bounce to short and pop to short 1385 02:14:04,860 --> 02:14:11,860 Gibson got him on an off-speed breaking ball the last time 1386 02:14:11,860 --> 02:14:20,860 Last Cardinal no-hitter was by Ray Washburn against San Francisco a couple of years ago 1387 02:14:20,860 --> 02:14:24,860 Oh here's a dangerous hitter in this spot 1388 02:14:24,860 --> 02:14:27,860 Nick D'Avalio, left handed batter 1389 02:14:27,860 --> 02:14:31,860 For whom they play straight away 1390 02:14:31,860 --> 02:14:38,860 Torrey has to play in because D'Avalio likes to bunt 1391 02:14:38,860 --> 02:14:40,860 Kubiak is deep at second 1392 02:14:40,860 --> 02:14:43,860 Gibson on the mound 1393 02:14:43,860 --> 02:14:47,860 The wind-up, his first pitch and a swing and a pop foul out of play 1394 02:14:47,860 --> 02:14:51,860 Strike one 1395 02:14:51,860 --> 02:14:59,860 Well Torrey has picked up 4 points tonight, he's batting 359 1396 02:14:59,860 --> 02:15:02,860 Next pitch to D'Avalio coming 1397 02:15:02,860 --> 02:15:06,860 Strike called on the outside corner 1398 02:15:06,860 --> 02:15:11,860 Gibson really powdered one and he's got some fire left 1399 02:15:11,860 --> 02:15:14,860 0-2 to D'Avalio 1400 02:15:14,860 --> 02:15:16,860 Leading off in the ninth 1401 02:15:16,860 --> 02:15:20,860 Gibson pitches, a ground ball to short, Maxwell has it 1402 02:15:20,860 --> 02:15:27,860 The throw to first he's out and Gibson needs 2 more 1403 02:15:27,860 --> 02:15:31,860 Gibson needs 2 more, Oliver and Stargell 1404 02:15:31,860 --> 02:15:34,860 D'Avalio is out 6-3 to start it 1405 02:15:34,860 --> 02:15:38,860 Gibson in the last couple of innings has been helped 1406 02:15:38,860 --> 02:15:45,860 When a couple of line drives were caught and some good fielding plays were made behind him 1407 02:15:45,860 --> 02:15:52,860 Al Oliver is 0-3, left handed hitter, first pitch, inside ball one 1408 02:15:52,860 --> 02:15:56,860 Oliver flied to left, popped to short, grounded out to first 1409 02:15:56,860 --> 02:15:59,860 They play him to hit a little bit to left 1410 02:15:59,860 --> 02:16:03,860 Torrey is even with the bag at third and here's the pitch and a swing and a miss 1411 02:16:03,860 --> 02:16:08,860 And a letter high fastball and Gibson has this pirate crowd rooting for the no hitter 1412 02:16:08,860 --> 02:16:11,860 What will the score, 11 to nothing? 1413 02:16:11,860 --> 02:16:14,860 There's one out in the bottom of the ninth 1414 02:16:14,860 --> 02:16:19,860 1-1 the count and the pitch from Gibson is on the way and a swing and a ground ball to second 1415 02:16:19,860 --> 02:16:22,860 He's got it, Kubiak throws him out 1416 02:16:22,860 --> 02:16:25,860 One more to go 1417 02:16:25,860 --> 02:16:31,860 Oliver was jammed with a pitch on the fist and he grounded to Kubiak for the second out 1418 02:16:31,860 --> 02:16:37,860 And here is the biggest power hitter in the National League at the plate, Willie Stargell 1419 02:16:37,860 --> 02:16:41,860 With two men out and the crowd is roaring 1420 02:16:41,860 --> 02:16:46,860 Gibson into the windup, the pitch, a swing and a miss, strike one 1421 02:16:46,860 --> 02:16:49,860 Gibson is two strikes away from a no hitter 1422 02:16:49,860 --> 02:16:53,860 It'll be the first of a tremendously illustrious career 1423 02:16:53,860 --> 02:16:56,860 One strike on Stargell 1424 02:16:56,860 --> 02:17:02,860 The windup, the pitch, inside for a ball to even the count at one and one 1425 02:17:02,860 --> 02:17:07,860 As Gibson, jammed him with a breaking ball, two men out, nobody on, bottom of the ninth 1426 02:17:07,860 --> 02:17:09,860 11 to nothing Cardinals 1427 02:17:09,860 --> 02:17:14,860 1-1 on Stargell, the pitch on the way and a swing and a miss, strike two 1428 02:17:14,860 --> 02:17:16,860 A good ball breaking ball 1429 02:17:16,860 --> 02:17:20,860 And Gibson is one strike away from the no hitter 1430 02:17:20,860 --> 02:17:26,860 He takes off his cap, he mops his brow, he looks in and gets the side 1431 02:17:26,860 --> 02:17:31,860 He starts to windup, here's the pitch and it's a strike called 1432 02:17:31,860 --> 02:17:33,860 A no hitter for Gibson 1433 02:17:33,860 --> 02:17:36,860 Simmons roars to the mound 1434 02:17:36,860 --> 02:17:39,860 His race is Gibson losing, Gulp Feist is late 1435 02:17:39,860 --> 02:17:43,860 And the Cardinals win the game 11 to nothing 1436 02:17:43,860 --> 02:17:46,860 25 player pound Bob Gibson 1437 02:17:46,860 --> 02:17:50,860 For a tremendous effort here tonight 1438 02:17:50,860 --> 02:17:53,860 A called third strike 1439 02:17:53,860 --> 02:17:56,860 To Willie Stargell ended it 1440 02:17:56,860 --> 02:18:00,860 And Gibson, who has done everything else in the book 1441 02:18:00,860 --> 02:18:02,860 Except a no hitter 1442 02:18:02,860 --> 02:18:04,860 Got it here tonight 1443 02:18:04,860 --> 02:18:07,860 11 to nothing, the Cardinals win it 1444 02:18:07,860 --> 02:18:09,860 He set them down in order 1445 02:18:09,860 --> 02:18:12,860 He got D'Avalio, he got Oliver 1446 02:18:12,860 --> 02:18:17,860 And he struck out Stargell and a little foot shot coming out there pounding Gibson on the back 1447 02:18:17,860 --> 02:18:19,860 Woods had to jump over the air to get to him 1448 02:18:19,860 --> 02:18:21,860 And jump up he did and Gibson grabbed him 1449 02:18:21,860 --> 02:18:24,860 Everybody just all over him and a tremendous thrill for everybody 1450 02:18:24,860 --> 02:18:27,860 In the history of modern Pittsburgh baseball 1451 02:18:27,860 --> 02:18:30,860 The first no hitter thrown in this town and Jackson earlier 1452 02:18:30,860 --> 02:18:35,860 Won in 1907 and Bob Gibson did it in just magnificent fashion tonight 1453 02:18:35,860 --> 02:18:39,860 If you were here, it would have made you cry 1454 02:18:39,860 --> 02:18:43,860 The Cardinals win 11 to nothing, we'll have the totals and highlights in a minute 1455 02:18:43,860 --> 02:18:49,860 Goodbye woman, goodbye girl 1456 02:18:49,860 --> 02:18:54,860 You've hurt me one too many times 1457 02:18:54,860 --> 02:18:59,860 You gave me nothing but a hard way to go 1458 02:18:59,860 --> 02:19:03,860 You brought no comfort to my mind 1459 02:19:03,860 --> 02:19:08,860 Goodbye trouble, goodbye pain 1460 02:19:08,860 --> 02:19:13,860 I don't want no more of what you give 1461 02:19:13,860 --> 02:19:17,860 I'll find myself a bunch of good, good times 1462 02:19:17,860 --> 02:19:21,860 I'll find a brand new way to live 1463 02:19:21,860 --> 02:19:23,860 Goodbye is not the end 1464 02:19:23,860 --> 02:19:26,860 It's the chance to move on up and find something better 1465 02:19:26,860 --> 02:19:29,860 A better life, a beer like Bush 1466 02:19:29,860 --> 02:19:34,860 Brewed with only the finest natural ingredients and over a century of Anheuser-Busch gill 1467 02:19:34,860 --> 02:19:39,860 When you're ready for the best that beer has to offer, Bush does it like no other beer 1468 02:19:39,860 --> 02:19:43,860 Visit our St. Louis brewery and we will prove it 1469 02:19:43,860 --> 02:20:07,860 Before we go into any wrap up here, we're going to pause for station identification on the St. Louis Cardinals baseball network 1470 02:20:07,860 --> 02:20:13,860 I think that Jack and this announcer have used up about every adjudy we can think of tonight 1471 02:20:13,860 --> 02:20:19,860 describing what was just a superb, unbeatable pitching performance by Bob Gibson 1472 02:20:19,860 --> 02:20:27,860 and a heartwarming thing for this guy who all throughout his tremendous career, and that's what it has been, has never thrown one 1473 02:20:27,860 --> 02:20:32,860 He came close last year in San Diego, Ivan Morrell broke that one up in the eighth inning 1474 02:20:32,860 --> 02:20:41,860 but tonight he was not to be denied and he had 30,678 bug-eyed Pittsburghers rooting for him on every pitch 1475 02:20:41,860 --> 02:20:47,860 From the eighth inning on, every out recorded by the Cardinals was greeted with a wild roar from the crowd here 1476 02:20:47,860 --> 02:20:50,860 because they've always been pretty fair-minded here 1477 02:20:50,860 --> 02:20:58,860 Jack has already headed downstairs, there's going to be something to get Gibson out of what has got to be a mad scene down in our dressing room 1478 02:20:58,860 --> 02:21:07,860 Not only the no-hitter, but three straight now from the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cardinals closed over five lengths of the Eastern Division leaders 1479 02:21:07,860 --> 02:21:14,860 The Redbirds picked up five runs in the first inning here tonight, highlighted on Joe Haig's 11th home run of the year 1480 02:21:14,860 --> 02:21:20,860 Then they tacked on, three more in the fifth on three base hits and three more in the eighth inning 1481 02:21:20,860 --> 02:21:25,860 Haig drove in three runs, Gibson himself, the top-off his performance, drove in three runs 1482 02:21:25,860 --> 02:21:30,860 Torrey had a great night, he had four for six, Ted Simmons had four hits 1483 02:21:30,860 --> 02:21:36,860 and overall it was a Cardinal victory that just completely crushed the Pirates tonight 1484 02:21:36,860 --> 02:21:43,860 The only man to reach base off Gibson in the second inning, he struck out in May on a very bad ball that got away from Simmons 1485 02:21:43,860 --> 02:21:50,860 that was ruled a wild pitch, he walked Hernandez in the third, he walked Stargell in the fourth 1486 02:21:50,860 --> 02:21:59,860 and in the seventh inning he walked Bob Robertson and those were the only men that the Pirates got on base all night long 1487 02:21:59,860 --> 02:22:06,860 Cardinals 11 runs, 16 hits no errors, Pittsburgh no runs, no hits and two errors 1488 02:22:06,860 --> 02:22:14,860 The winner is Gibson, 11 and 10 and his first no-hitter ever, the loser is Bob Johnson and he is seven and eight 1489 02:22:14,860 --> 02:22:21,860 We're going to get this down, Jack, where's the disclaimer Al? 1490 02:22:21,860 --> 02:22:26,860 So we're going to wrap things up here and see if we can get Mr. Gibson on 1491 02:22:26,860 --> 02:22:35,860 Some of the crowd still sticking around here and just looking out at the field where this momentous thing occurred 1492 02:22:35,860 --> 02:22:45,860 Our producer tonight has been Al Chance, our engineer Bob

I know that it had to be for you because I cried up in the booth 1506 02:24:38,860 --> 02:24:46,860 Yeah, it certainly was, Jack. It really did seem like we had won the 7th game of the World Series. I really enjoyed it 1507 02:24:46,860 --> 02:24:52,860 It almost seemed during your career, Bob, that you've accomplished everything there is for a pitcher to accomplish 1508 02:24:52,860 --> 02:24:56,860 but you were never going to get one of these because you came so close a couple of times 1509 02:24:56,860 --> 02:25:04,860 Well, I honestly didn't believe that I ever would basically because I'm a highball pitcher and most hitters are highball hitters 1510 02:25:04,860 --> 02:25:10,860 Usually you make pitches up there and if they don't hit it hard, they usually hit it over the infill or in the holes 1511 02:25:10,860 --> 02:25:14,860 And you had some tough hitters in that 9th inning. They're tough throughout the entire ballgame 1512 02:25:14,860 --> 02:25:20,860 but with the pressure on the line and everybody knew that you had a no-hitter going from the 4th inning on 1513 02:25:20,860 --> 02:25:24,860 to the 7th inning is when I first took note of it and I kept talking about it on the broadcast 1514 02:25:24,860 --> 02:25:30,860 Well, there's no doubt I was aware of it from the first inning on and after I got past the 7th inning 1515 02:25:30,860 --> 02:25:38,860 or at least when I got into the 7th inning is when I really started pitching like I wanted to pitch a no-hitter 1516 02:25:38,860 --> 02:25:41,860 Joe Torrey, you said that you told them before the game you were going to throw one 1517 02:25:41,860 --> 02:25:43,860 Yeah, I did, but we always say that 1518 02:25:43,860 --> 02:25:51,860 Bob, the last game I know I had to crush you knowing you and the way you hate to lose and you did lose that ballgame 1519 02:25:51,860 --> 02:25:56,860 but what a way to bounce back and not only you're a no-hitter Bob, but that makes three in a row from the Pirates 1520 02:25:56,860 --> 02:25:58,860 and moves us closer and that's what it's all about 1521 02:25:58,860 --> 02:26:04,860 That's right. You always say that you got to take them one at a time and of course we were looking forward to this 1522 02:26:04,860 --> 02:26:11,860 four-game series here in Pittsburgh and if we can possibly win that ballgame tomorrow, I think we're on our way 1523 02:26:11,860 --> 02:26:16,860 Bob, I didn't want to see you get that hit the last time you were up and run the bases 1524 02:26:16,860 --> 02:26:22,860 Oh, I don't mind running the bases. I'm in pretty good shape and I don't think that it really takes that much out of you 1525 02:26:22,860 --> 02:26:27,860 unless the weather is pretty hot and say you get two or three hits and you're running doubles and triples 1526 02:26:27,860 --> 02:26:34,860 but just for a pitcher to run down to first or maybe stand on first and run a second or third, I don't think that's going to worry him out 1527 02:26:34,860 --> 02:26:38,860 Bob, any particular ball off the bat that made your heart go pitty patter? 1528 02:26:38,860 --> 02:26:46,860 Well, the only one that really did bother me was a ball that was hit to Cash that bounced and Torrey had to jump to get it 1529 02:26:46,860 --> 02:26:47,860 I thought it was going to bounce over his head 1530 02:26:47,860 --> 02:26:49,860 Had him in the webbing of his glove 1531 02:26:49,860 --> 02:26:54,860 That's right. Just Torrey was in in case he bun it and the ball just about got over his head 1532 02:26:54,860 --> 02:26:56,860 Someone had a line drive at Maxville also 1533 02:26:56,860 --> 02:27:02,860 Yeah, a Mazuraskan, but it wasn't quite the way it looked. It was a slider that was away and he tried to pull it 1534 02:27:02,860 --> 02:27:07,860 When he hit it, I turned around and looked and I could tell pretty well that it was going right to Maxie 1535 02:27:07,860 --> 02:27:12,860 The young catcher hit a ball deep to left center. The crews stayed with all the way 1536 02:27:12,860 --> 02:27:15,860 Yeah, I wasn't worried about that at all. The ball was high enough 1537 02:27:15,860 --> 02:27:21,860 I wasn't worried about a hit. The only thing that I could possibly do is go out of the ballpark and I'm sure he didn't hit it that hard 1538 02:27:21,860 --> 02:27:23,860 The only thing he could do is go out of the ballpark 1539 02:27:23,860 --> 02:27:27,860 Well, that's right. I mean, as far as if the ball comes out, I know it's high enough for him to catch 1540 02:27:27,860 --> 02:27:31,860 Bob, congratulations on the win. We don't want to detain you any longer 1541 02:27:31,860 --> 02:27:38,860 Congratulations to get back on the winning track and you just gave all of us a thrill in the ball club, a big lift along with it 1542 02:27:38,860 --> 02:27:44,860 And now in the record book, it'll say Robert Gibson on this night, August 14th, no hitter against the Pirates. Nice going 1543 02:27:44,860 --> 02:28:06,860 Thank you, Jack
