00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,580
The California Angels faced the Kansas City Royals at Royals Stadium for a Thursday night

3
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:17,600
game on September 20, 1979. The two teams were atop the AL West in a tight race for

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,400
the pennant with only 10 games remaining. California was on top with the two-game lead

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,500
under manager Jim Frugosi in his second full season as skipper. Kansas City was managed

6
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:32,960
by Whitey Herzog who had led the Royals to three straight ALCS appearances. His audio

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,840
recording is from the Kansas City Radio broadcast featuring announcers Denny Matthews and Fred

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,840
Whedon.

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:46,840
Making his nice start trying to win his fifth game, he's 4-2 with an ERA of 3.05. Rick Miller,

10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,000
left-handed batter hitting 284. The first pitch of the night is lifted to center field. Well

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,000
hit, the back goes over for plenty of room, one pitch, one out. That will bring up the

12
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:08,520
Angels third baseman, Carney Landsberg. Landsberg a 294 hitter, he has 17 home runs. 72 RBI.

13
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:15,520
But in this series, Landsberg just one out of 11. Right-hand hitter, good runner, has

14
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:27,200
power, Chamberlain's pitch is high, one ball and no strike. Craig you'll recall won his

15
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,200
first three starts, all complete games, but has won just one of his last five starts with

16
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:40,200
two losses and a pair of no decisions. Swinging a miss by Carney Landsberg in the count one

17
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,400
and one. Well Craig Chamberlain his last start came on Sunday against Seattle. He did not

18
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:52,400
figure in the decision the Royals winning 5-4. He went 5-2-3, allowed six hits and four

19
00:01:52,400 --> 00:02:13,400
runs. The one-one pitch misses the outside corner, the knees two and one. Follow ball back to the screen off the bat of

20
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:22,760
Carney Landsberg, two balls and two strikes. I said Craig pitch Sunday, he pitched Saturday

21
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:29,760
night. That was the 11 inning contest won by the Royals. His last win was at Seattle

22
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:37,800
on September the 7th. Final score 6-2. Landsberg a fling of a miss, now he goes. So Miller

23
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:44,800
flies to center, Landsberg strikes up and now Ralph Gar gets his first bad in a California

24
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:52,800
Uniform. Ralph with a light shock sitting 280. 9 homers 39 RBIs, 86 base hits. He is the

25
00:02:52,960 --> 00:03:06,960
angel's designated hitter tonight. Base is empty two down. Chamberlain's pitch is popped up on the infield.

26
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:13,960
UL Washington under the ball and UL makes the catch. That retires the side. The angels put out 1-2-3 after half an inning.

27
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:24,960
California nothing, Royals coming up. Bottom of the first inning, the angels came up empty in the top half of the first.

28
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:32,960
31 year old right hander Jim Barr on the mound for California. Barr is 9-12 this year with an ERA of 4.17.

29
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:41,960
His last victory on September the 8th, 3-2 over the Brewers. His last outing was a rematch against Milwaukee

30
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:50,960
at County Stadium on the 14th. He went 6 innings, was not involved in the decision. The angels won 8-7 and Jim allowed 3 runs.

31
00:03:50,960 --> 00:04:00,960
Making his second start against the Royals. He lost at the big A 13-4 to the Royals in Larry Gura on June the 23rd.

32
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:10,960
Jim allowed 7 hits and 4 runs and 4-2-3 innings. He's a former National Lager, 6th of the San Francisco Giants.

33
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,960
Eddie Blade at the University of Southern California for Rod Adonis.

34
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:23,960
Willie Wilson leading off, Willie hitting 3-14 with half a dozen homers and 46 RVIs.

35
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:31,960
Wilson in this series, 5 out of 16. He has scored 3 runs, stolen 1 base.

36
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:41,960
On the left side he can try to enter Jim Barr. Trying to give him by downing, Barr's first pitch is a strike, going 1.

37
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:49,960
Willie leads the Major League in stolen bases, he has 74. These 3 in front of Ronald Moore of the Tigers.

38
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,960
Breaking balls, chopped up to the second baseman Gritch. Flipped over to Rod Caru in time, 1 away.

39
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,960
The batter Hal McCrae, Max Avery 286. 9 home runs, 16-7 runs fatted in.

40
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:17,960
Hal McCrae having a fine series, Max is 6 for 12. He has driven in 1 run, but he has scored 7 times.

41
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:29,960
The Angels have not played well at all defensively. Hal takes a strike, a breaking ball that got the outside edge.

42
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:37,960
The Angels on their current road trip of 1-2, they've lost 6. And they have committed 10 errors in those 8 games.

43
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:44,960
The opposition with 12 under and runs. There's a strike. So Hal McCrae in the hole, nothing in 2.

44
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,960
Barr at the all-star break was 7-4. Since the all-star break, 2-8.

45
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,960
The 0-2 pitch to Mack is, it's followed into the seats down the right field line.

46
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,960
Jim Barr keeping everything away from Harold.

47
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,960
George Breck will be next.

48
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:20,960
Hal deep in the batter's box, a long way away from the plate, and he takes it inside.

49
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:27,960
He was looking away, and he was leaning over the plate, and Barr came up and in.

50
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:35,960
Hal almost walked into that pitch. Not that it was that close to Hal McCrae, it was close, but he was leaning, and that made the difference.

51
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,960
Another fast ball in too tight, two balls in too strength.

52
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:52,960
No score, bottom of the first inning. The Angels go home to play Texas, the Royals leave home to play the Oakland A's.

53
00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:01,960
The 2-2 pitch. Struck him out, he finally came back on the outside corner with a slider, and after the two fast balls inside, the slider away got him.

54
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,960
Two-way, here's George Breck.

55
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,960
George has up this average to 3-33.

56
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:15,960
21 home runs, 103 RBI, and he's having some series.

57
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,960
He is 7 for 12 against the Angels in the three games.

58
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,960
Three RBI's and five runs scored.

59
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,960
Jim Barr's pitch is a slider outside, one ball in no strike.

60
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,960
George continues to lead the league in hits, runs, and triples.

61
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,960
His overall average against the Angels is here, 3-50.

62
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,960
Outside the George, two balls in no strike.

63
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Barr trying to retire the Royals 1-2-3, the 2-0 pitch.

64
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,960
Took something off a breaking ball and got it over.

65
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,960
In 25 innings in this series,

66
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,960
Angel pitching has retired the Royals in order to get the ball out of the way.

67
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:15,960
In 25 innings in this series, Angel pitching has retired the Royals in order twice.

68
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,960
That's all. George is flinging a miss, and they can't even drive it two balls and two strikes.

69
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:29,960
The Royals went in order Monday night in the fourth inning, in the sixth inning last night against Nolan Ryan.

70
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,960
But in every other inning in this series, they've had at least one base runner.

71
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,960
The pitch to George is outside, and the count goes full free two.

72
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,960
Three balls, two strikes, bases empty, two outs.

73
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,960
Darrell Porter waiting to hit next.

74
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,960
Sign given by Brian Downing, the line by Barr in the pitch.

75
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:02,960
He's stuck him out, he kept the ball away from him, and the Royals do go down 1-2-3, Bar gets two strikeouts.

76
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,960
After one inning, at Royals Stadium, no score.

77
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,960
We go to the second inning, no score. Don Baylor, Rod Garoo and Brian Downing coming up against Craig Chamberlain.

78
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,960
The Angels went in order in the first, so did the Royals.

79
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,960
Final score in the first to two at Shea Stadium.

80
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:29,960
The Montreal Expos scored four runs in the eighth inning, and beat the Mets six to three.

81
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,960
Murray the winner, five and nine, reared in the loser, one and two.

82
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,960
The Pirates lost to the Phillies, so Montreal and Pittsburgh are going to tie for first now.

83
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,960
And at the Expos, when their second game, they leave.

84
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:47,960
Warm drive, deep refield, that goes Willie, she's gone. A home run for Don Baylor.

85
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:53,960
His 35th ball run on Craig Chamberlain's first pitch in the second inning.

86
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960
Don Baylor hit a line drive over the wall in left field.

87
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,960
Baylor had been very quiet in his series, he was just two for 11.

88
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,960
That he muscled up and got it over the wall in left, and the Angels lead one to nothing.

89
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,960
The seventh ball run off Craig Chamberlain this year.

90
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:16,960
Here's Rod Garoo, and Garoo, like Baylor, has been conspicuous by his absence.

91
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Rod Garoo just two out of twelve.

92
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:28,960
Craig Chamberlain goes to work on Rod, and it's slowing him side, one ball and no strike.

93
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,960
That gives Baylor 179 hits and 136 RBI.

94
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,960
Why ball center field, Amazota's position perfectly.

95
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:44,960
Hardly has to move, but he makes the catch.

96
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,960
Here's Brian Downing to capture.

97
00:10:47,960 --> 00:11:01,960
Brian hitting 328 with 11 owners, 69 RBI.

98
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,960
Downing in the series has gone three for 11.

99
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,960
One of the three hits all run.

100
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:15,960
Outside to the right-handed batter, one ball and no strike.

101
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,960
Bay says empty, one out, one run in.

102
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:25,960
Chamberlain's pitch to Downing is a strike.

103
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,960
Toronto leading Boston four-nuping after five innings in Toronto.

104
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,960
Tony Salida Homer, former Royal.

105
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,960
Tom Bergmeier, former Royal, now pitching to the Red Sox.

106
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Breaking ball from Chamberlain is fouled away by Brian Downing.

107
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:49,960
Lower deck on the first base side, one and two on the angel catcher.

108
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:58,960
Lane A, homer for Baltimore, his 19th in the second inning with the man on Detroit 3, Baltimore 2.

109
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:08,960
One, two, pitch to Downing, his foul back to the three to Downing really went after that pitch.

110
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,960
He seldom gets cheated.

111
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:19,960
He swings as hard as anybody in the league.

112
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,960
Steve Kepf swings awfully hard.

113
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,960
Kestremski used to.

114
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,960
Just missed the outside corner to Chamberlain, two balls and two strikes on Brian Downing.

115
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,960
Bob Gutsch to follow.

116
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,960
Don Baylor hit Chamberlain's first pitch of the inning over the wall and left.

117
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,960
The two-two pitch, foul ball back to the screen.

118
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:53,960
Craig challenged him with a fast ball up around the letter, and Downing's answer was a hard swing and a foul ball.

119
00:12:53,960 --> 00:13:03,960
The angels are hitting 253 against the Royals as a team, and now have 14 home runs.

120
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,960
Here's the two-two pitch.

121
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:14,960
Lined into left field, Willie on the move towards the foul line, he makes the catch.

122
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,960
That's two out, here's Bobby Gutsch, the second baseman.

123
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:28,960
Gutsch hit a 295 with 27 home runs, 93 RBI.

124
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:38,960
The Royals trailing by two games with 10 to play.

125
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,960
Craig Chamberlain's pitch to Gutsch didn't want to go around, but he did.

126
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,960
No balls and a strike.

127
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,960
In the season series, the Royals have won five and have lost four.

128
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,960
The angels have won four out of six here at Royal Stadium.

129
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:04,960
Chamberlain just missed the outside corner, one-and-one.

130
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,960
One ball and one strike on Bob Gutsch.

131
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,960
A 295 hitter.

132
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:17,960
The swings and fouls fifth from the count of one and two. Gutsch has 27 home runs, 93 RBI.

133
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,960
Come on out at Oakland, Paul Spuddorf against Rick Limeford.

134
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:28,960
Saturday afternoon, Dennis Leonard against Matthew, Larry Gura hooks up against Mike Morgan on Sunday afternoon.

135
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,960
Lowering away to Gutsch.

136
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,960
Then it's into out of high and four.

137
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,960
Wednesday night, back home to close off the regular schedule against the A's.

138
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,960
Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

139
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,960
Rick cleans his mistake out and that's the end of it.

140
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,960
One run on one hit, the home run by John Baylor.

141
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,960
We go to the bottom of the second. The angels won, the Royals nothing.

142
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,960
California won, the Royals nothing as we move to the bottom of the second.

143
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Darrell Porter leads off against Jim Barr.

144
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:04,960
Darrell hit him 291, he has 108 RBI's, the money home run.

145
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,960
And what a very easy as having.

146
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:19,960
Darrell Porter has gone 6 for 12, has scored three runs and in the three games has 10 RBI's.

147
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Joey's averaged a little better than three runs per game.

148
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,960
Jim Barr retired the Royals in order in the first.

149
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,960
The right hander goes to work on Darrell and finds the outside corner with his slider.

150
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,960
Darrell's is down, the pitch is outside.

151
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:42,960
Nick Brevick and calling the balls and strikes.

152
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,960
The 0-1 pitch on the corner, outside 0-2.

153
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,960
Darrell still leading the Lincoln walks.

154
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,960
He's gone 107.

155
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,960
The 0-2 pitch missed the outside edge of the kneecaps.

156
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,960
We mentioned Darrell's last three games over his last five.

157
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,960
He's gone 8 for 19.

158
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,960
That figures out to a 421 average.

159
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,960
And it's here to lead 11.

160
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,960
Down ball, hey, 6-0 center.

161
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,960
Darrell Porter down to 4-1 center, the Royals have their first base runners.

162
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,960
Joey's 7 out of 13 in the series and here's Steve Lacoste.

163
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Steve is hitting 284.

164
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,960
Three home runs, 53 RBI's.

165
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:45,960
Steve's 5 out of 13 in the three games with three RBI's, three run scores.

166
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,960
The tying run at first was nobody out here in the bottom of the second.

167
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,960
The left-handed batter at the plate bar's pitches, outside 1 ball and no strikes.

168
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,960
Richie Dower homers for Baltimore in the second inning of the field, but he out in sight.

169
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:05,960
Baltimore 5-3 in the second inning of Detroit.

170
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,960
1 ball, no strikes on Lacoste.

171
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,960
The crowd's starting to come alive.

172
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,960
There goes the runner, hitting around and swinging a miss.

173
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,960
Throw to second and Darrell is going to be out.

174
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,960
Bobby Gritch took the throw, so on a hit and run play, Steve Lacoste flung and missed.

175
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,960
And downing throughout Darrell Porter's second base.

176
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,960
And that's the first oil to be thrown out by Brian Downing in this series.

177
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,960
The Royals have nine stolen bases.

178
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,960
That's not a bad percentage if you can steal nine out of every ten times,

179
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,960
but you've got one heck of a running game.

180
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:49,960
The Pita's outside, two balls and one strike.

181
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,960
Jim Barr's pattern to the left-handed hitter is pretty obvious.

182
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,960
He's keeping everything away as he did that pitch too far away, ball three.

183
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,960
Three and one.

184
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,960
At second game at State Stadium, Scott Sanderson will pitch for Montreal.

185
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,960
He's eight and seven.

186
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,960
Scott makes the start for the Mets.

187
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:06,960
He's one and one.

188
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,960
Montreal wins if they move past the Pirates in the first place in the National League East.

189
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,960
The three-one pitch to Pita.

190
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:15,960
Right.

191
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,960
And Pita's unhappy.

192
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:28,960
Boy, Jim Barr is just making that outside hit and keeping everything down, at least to this point.

193
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,960
Amazotus will be next.

194
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,960
Three balls, two strikes, armed Lacoste.

195
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,960
Here's the pitch.

196
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,960
Bouncing ball, shortstop.

197
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,960
Up with the ball, Anderson on the first-in-time.

198
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:40,960
Jimmy Hebdo.

199
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,960
He starts to his right, going to the hole for Pita.

200
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,960
Lacoste's down ball.

201
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960
Two oils gone and here is Amazotus.

202
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,960
Amaz's batting average is 295.

203
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,960
He has 18 home runs, 89 RBI.

204
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Amaz got in the series.

205
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,960
Well, he's four out of 14.

206
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,960
Four runs short and one run bad at end.

207
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Amaz!

208
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:10,960
Take no given.

209
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,960
Here's the line by Jim Barr in the pitch.

210
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,960
Power ball into the upper deck, down the right field line.

211
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,960
Nothing at one.

212
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,960
Trinal leading Boston sixth in nothing.

213
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,960
Now as Rick Serona's home hurt is seven.

214
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,960
They are in the sixth.

215
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,960
No balls and one strike on Amazotus.

216
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,960
Bar deals off speed breaking ball, grounded to short.

217
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,960
Anderson up with the ball over to Rod Karoo in time.

218
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,960
Side retired.

219
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:39,960
One hit, no runs.

220
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:40,960
The Royals leave.

221
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,960
None in the inning.

222
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,960
And the score at the end of two.

223
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,960
California Angels one, the Royals nothing.

224
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,960
The Angels leave one to nothing after two innings.

225
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,960
Before we go to the third, let's pause for station identification.

226
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,960
This is the Kansas City Royals Radio Network.

227
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,960
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

228
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,960
Denny Matthews along with Fred White and producer and engineer at Shepherd

229
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:17,960
at Royals Radio.

230
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,960
A horse in final game of the series.

231
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,960
The Angels leaving by the score of one to nothing.

232
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,960
Don Baylor's home run is what separates the two teams after two.

233
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,960
So, it's the third we go.

234
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,960
Here's Fred.

235
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,960
All right, thank you Denny.

236
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:30,960
Larry Harlow leads it off.

237
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,960
To be followed by Jim Anderson, the number nine hitter

238
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,960
than Rick Miller, the center fielder.

239
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,960
Great shape of the winds, the first pitch to Harlow.

240
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,960
Left handed batter swings and misses one strike to cap.

241
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,960
Harlow hitting 205.

242
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,960
No homers, a dozen runs, bad it is.

243
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,960
The Angels missing regular right fielder Dan Ford

244
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,960
who's out with a bruised side tonight.

245
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,960
All outside one to one.

246
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,960
Earlier in the series, Willie Aiken suffered a damaged knee

247
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:00,960
when sent home.

248
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,960
And today the Angels required Ralph Garh

249
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,960
who's operating as her designated hitter tonight.

250
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,960
One-one pitch to Harlow.

251
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,960
Wing and a miss.

252
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:08,960
He's losing a fast ball of time.

253
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,960
One and two to cap.

254
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,960
Each team has a hit.

255
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:12,960
The Angels lead one to nothing.

256
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,960
Their hit on Baylor's 35th home run.

257
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,960
Now, where the Royals have had some offense in this series.

258
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,960
One-two pitch.

259
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,960
All outside two and two.

260
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,960
In the three games played today,

261
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,960
the Royals have scored 26 runs on 42 hits.

262
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,960
The Angels 14 runs with 22 hits.

263
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,960
But through the first two innings tonight,

264
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,960
Jim Barr has looked like a million-dollar pitcher.

265
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,960
The Royals have been ineffective.

266
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,960
There's a line drive in the left center field.

267
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,960
That's going to flood the gap.

268
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Willie Wilson trying to cut it off,

269
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:48,960
but it's all the way to the wall.

270
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,960
And Harlow at second base, round second,

271
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:51,960
he's going to try for three.

272
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,960
Here he comes, the throw, not in time.

273
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,960
Willie Harlow triples in the left center field,

274
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,960
and the Angels have their lead off man at third.

275
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,960
Had a chance to get something more done

276
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,960
against Craig Shaberman.

277
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,960
Very nice.

278
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,960
And the way Jim Barr is pitching every run looks big right now.

279
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,960
Jim Anderson, the shortstop, the number nine hitter.

280
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,960
And Craig Shaberman now in need of a strikeout or a pop-up.

281
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,960
The Royals play the infield back.

282
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,960
Anderson hitting 254.

283
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,960
Three home runs, he had one last night.

284
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,960
19 RBI's.

285
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,960
Craig Shaberman has to belt the pitch.

286
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,960
Ball outside, ball one.

287
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,960
Anderson against the Royals, seven for 22 this year.

288
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,960
Right hander against right hander.

289
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,960
Angels lead one nothing, they threaten again.

290
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,960
Here's the stretch and the pitch.

291
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Way outside, ball two to an O.

292
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:12,960
The pitch again.

293
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,960
Fly ball left center field, Amos Otis running towards the gap

294
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,960
is there, reaches up and makes the catch.

295
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,960
It'll score the run down the line to score comes Anderson.

296
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,960
Red Harlow is Anderson hitting the ball hard in the deep left center field

297
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,960
and sacrifice flying, he drives in his 20th run of the year.

298
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,960
The center field of the Eagles were hitting the ball fairly hard

299
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,960
against Craig Shaberman.

300
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,960
So the early indications in this ball game don't look all that good.

301
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,960
Two to nothing California.

302
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,960
Now one out, nobody on, Rick Miller the hitter.

303
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,960
He was out on the fly ball to center his first time up.

304
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,960
Soon to stadium, check the Royals outfield.

305
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,960
They play him way around the off the way.

306
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:53,960
Ball misses ball one.

307
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,960
Bottom of the second, Baltimore.

308
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,960
After trailing three to nothing scored five in the top of the second.

309
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:01,960
They now lead Detroit five to three.

310
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,960
After six Toronto, six Boston nothing.

311
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,960
Minnesota beat New York three to one today.

312
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,960
Ball high two and O.

313
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,960
The Phillies beat the Pirates and Montreal won the first game

314
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,960
of their double header from the Mets.

315
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,960
Or the Expo staying right with the Pirates.

316
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,960
Two old pitch, right call two and one.

317
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,960
Montreal wanted the moment dead even with the Pirates.

318
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,960
The pitch again.

319
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,960
Bowled on a play down the left field line now two and two.

320
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,960
Montreal has played two left games in Pittsburgh.

321
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,960
They'll make one of those up in the double headers tonight.

322
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,960
They have played a ton of double headers.

323
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,960
They have six games to make up.

324
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,960
Starting just about ten days in the game.

325
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,960
They're going to be playing a lot of double headers.

326
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,960
They're going to be playing a lot of double headers.

327
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,960
They're going to be playing a lot of double headers.

328
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,960
Starting just about ten days ago.

329
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,960
Chamberlain ready to deal but Miller backs out of the batter's box.

330
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,960
The Angels have two hits but one of them is home run by Baylor.

331
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,960
The other triple by Harlow.

332
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:22,960
They have the two to nothing lead.

333
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:23,960
Two to pitch.

334
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:33,960
Hit him on the fifth, he fouls it back out of play still two and two.

335
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Look, Miller hitting a two eighty four.

336
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,960
Right on the back line of the batter's box.

337
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,960
Chamberlain's two to pitch.

338
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,960
Missed the outside corner for a count three and two.

339
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,960
Great Chamberlain hasn't walked anybody but he has not had the control that he normally has.

340
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,960
He's been behind some hitters.

341
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,960
He's obviously missed the spot a couple of times with Baylor and Harlow.

342
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,960
Here's the three to pitch.

343
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,960
Fastball foul out of play.

344
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,960
Still three and two.

345
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:18,960
Will Salusa cook play dealers?

346
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,960
Going to pick up the sign from Porter.

347
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,960
Here comes the three to pitch to Rick Miller.

348
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:29,960
Strike three call.

349
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,960
They got him looking.

350
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Strike out number three for Craig Chamberlain.

351
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,960
And here's Connie Lansford who has just strike out victim his first time up.

352
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,960
Chamberlain changing speeds a bit that time.

353
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,960
Got Rick Miller looking on a three to pitch.

354
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,960
Now two out, nobody odd and you'll deal with Lansford at two ninety three hitters.

355
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,960
Right handed batter, aggressive hitter.

356
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:55,960
Good hitter.

357
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,960
Seventeen homers, he's driven in seventy two.

358
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,960
Bouncing ball to Brett.

359
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:01,960
George charging.

360
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,960
Lansford can run but the close on time and he hitting his over.

361
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,960
Lansford out third to first.

362
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:07,960
The angels can run on a hit.

363
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:08,960
They can actually lead on dribble.

364
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:09,960
They go to the bottom of the third.

365
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,960
California two, the Royals up there.

366
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,960
Bottom of the third, hitting nothing, California.

367
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,960
Al Cowan, Frank White, UL Washington, the lower part of the order for the Royals.

368
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,960
The Royals have but one hitters, single by Darrell Porter.

369
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,960
Right hander against right hander.

370
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,960
Jim Barr winding the pitch.

371
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,960
Strike on the outside corner of the knee.

372
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Boy he is just making millions of dollars pitches.

373
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,960
Just needling the corners right now.

374
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,960
Now again the pitch.

375
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,960
Inside one to one.

376
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,960
Hey, Jim Barr is going to have that kind of control all night.

377
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,960
Went for a long night.

378
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,960
Downing, put down her sign.

379
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,960
Barr is still looking in.

380
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:02,960
Now the wide.

381
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,960
Here's the one-one pitch.

382
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,960
Inside ball two, two and one.

383
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,960
Al Cowan four for 12 with four RBI's in this series.

384
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,960
Hit list and three tries against Barr this year.

385
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,960
Barr's only other start against the Royals in California on June the 2030.

386
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,960
Lasted only four and two-thirds innings.

387
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,960
Change of pace and it's in for a strike two and two at off-speed breaking ball.

388
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,960
The Royals won that ball game 13-4.

389
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,960
They scored seven runs in the eighth inning.

390
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,960
After Barr was gone.

391
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Boy he has something so far tonight.

392
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:38,960
Here's the two-two pitch.

393
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,960
Outside ball count three and two.

394
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,960
The Royals have averaged 14 hits a game in the first three games of the series

395
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,960
and he has just strangled them so far tonight.

396
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,960
Barr winding the pitch to Cowan.

397
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,960
Fly ball pretty well hit the right field but over goes Larry Harlow.

398
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,960
He's there to make the catch.

399
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,960
Cowan's out on the fly ball to right and one out and nobody on to Frank White.

400
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,960
The end of two innings tonight.

401
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,960
There comes with the Cardinals two to nothing.

402
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,960
The ball is in the corner.

403
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,960
The ball is in the corner.

404
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,960
The ball is in the corner.

405
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,960
The ball is in the corner.

406
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,960
The ball is in the corner.

407
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,960
The ball is in the corner.

408
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,960
Jim Ries as it is 39th all-run and the seventh inning with a man on.

409
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,960
It's now for Rotto 6 plus and two.

410
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,960
The X throws a miss underway with their second game.

411
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,960
Nothing, nothing after the inning.

412
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,960
Montreal won the first game.

413
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,960
The pitch to Frank White.

414
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,960
Bouncing ball high chopper over the first base and there they set left field.

415
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,960
Don Baylor gets it back to the infield.

416
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,960
White holds it first with a single.

417
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,960
The Cardinals have their second inning tonight.

418
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,960
They play two innings in Detroit.

419
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,960
Five to three ball to more after two from Blake.

420
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:54,960
Here's you well.

421
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,960
They had a tough night last night.

422
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,960
Nolan Ryan struck him out four times.

423
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,960
Four times up.

424
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,960
One for eight in a series now.

425
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,960
He's been playing good shortstop.

426
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:12,960
Now it's up on the left side hitting 244.

427
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,960
No doubt you will would like to atone some for last night right here.

428
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,960
Bow's one back out of play.

429
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:20,960
One strike.

430
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,960
One strike.

431
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,960
Blake at first with 23 stolen bases.

432
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,960
He's been caught just a half dozen times.

433
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,960
They say played at the moment.

434
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:51,960
The pitch to Washington is outside one to one.

435
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,960
The White House have been doing some running in this series.

436
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,960
Frank doesn't look like he's going right now.

437
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:01,960
Now he edges away a bit.

438
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,960
Makes a false start.

439
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,960
That blow not in time.

440
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,960
He got back.

441
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,960
Well he started to go.

442
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,960
That bar wheeled and fired the first in Frank.

443
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,960
He was leading towards second.

444
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,960
Really showed some reflexes getting back to first base.

445
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,960
Now he comes over to talk to first base coach Steve Orr.

446
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,960
And kind of gather himself together a bit.

447
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,960
Frank had made his move.

448
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,960
Some reflexes him getting back to first just then.

449
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,960
He was almost picked off.

450
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,960
Well he will soon next.

451
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,960
Barring the double play.

452
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,960
He's got nothing California at the bottom of the third.

453
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,960
Downing through the signs for his right hander.

454
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,960
Bar into the stretch.

455
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,960
Frank likes the pitch.

456
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,960
Well it's going to button this.

457
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,960
He's going to hold now one and two.

458
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,960
So Bar has the advantage in the count.

459
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,960
He hasn't even come close to walking anybody.

460
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:02,960
He's ready again.

461
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,960
Here's the stretch, the one two pitch.

462
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,960
Throw the first and seventh Frank right back.

463
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,960
I'll tell you what Jim Barr is not lobbing the ball to first.

464
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,960
He's making very serious moves that way.

465
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,960
He's not going to go to the right.

466
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,960
He's going to go to the right.

467
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,960
He's going to go to the right.

468
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,960
He's going to go to the right.

469
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,960
He's making very serious moves that way.

470
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,960
Bar of Edmunds.

471
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,960
He's 31 years old now.

472
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,960
6'3", 205.

473
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,960
He's in his prime.

474
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,960
Here's...

475
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,960
Bar started to go into his wind-up.

476
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,960
The stretch right there and then back off the rubber.

477
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,960
All of a sudden he seemed to be uncomfortable.

478
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,960
Now we're ready again.

479
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,960
Here's the one two pitch to UL Washington.

480
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:11,960
Now back to the screen still one and two.

481
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,960
Frank White edges away again at first.

482
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,960
About a half step shy of the artificial turf.

483
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,960
Now Bar ready.

484
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,960
Back off the rubber to run Frank White back.

485
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,960
Boy Bar working like the chickens to keep Frank White close over there.

486
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,960
Now Washington backs out of the batter's box.

487
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,960
Bar trying to help set down the Royal Running Game

488
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,960
which has been quite a force in the first three games of the series.

489
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,960
Again, Frank with a safe lead.

490
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,960
Here's the stretch by Bar.

491
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,960
There goes Frank, the pitch outside.

492
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,960
Downing through the second.

493
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,960
Now he's got a stolen...

494
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,960
quite a duel between Jim Bar and Frank White.

495
00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:03,960
But Frank winds up with his 24th stolen base of the year

496
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,960
and the big one it is because he's in scoring position now.

497
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:19,960
Trying downing them out to talk to Jim Bar a little bit.

498
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,960
That's Frank White's fourth stolen base in this series

499
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,960
for the Royals number 10.

500
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,960
The only man who's been caught was Darrell Porter in the second.

501
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,960
That was a blessed hit run.

502
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,960
Now two and two to UL Washington.

503
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,960
They hit, cuts the angel lead in half right here.

504
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,960
Bar into a stretch.

505
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,960
Two, two pitch.

506
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,960
Ball three outside full count, three and two to UL.

507
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,960
And Bar just missed that corner.

508
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,960
He's asking the play down fire, Nick Bremigans.

509
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,960
Was that pitch outside?

510
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,960
Bremigans nods his head, yes.

511
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,960
Bar thought he had the corner.

512
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:01,960
Oh, big pitch coming.

513
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,960
Frank White at second base, one out.

514
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,960
Full count to Washington.

515
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,960
Now UL backs up at the batter's box just a moment.

516
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,960
Bremigans unfolding rather slowly here in the bottom of the third.

517
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,960
The angels in front of the Royals two nothing.

518
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,960
Here's the stretch, three, two pitch.

519
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,960
Now back just below us, still three and two.

520
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,960
This is game number 153, just nine to go after tonight.

521
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,960
The angels go home to play the Texas Rangers three.

522
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,960
They go to Oakland for three with the eight.

523
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,960
The angels and the angels kept together for three in Ennire.

524
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,960
And then the Royals come home to face the eight for three

525
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,960
while the angels go to Texas to finish out the season

526
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,960
with three against the Rangers.

527
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,960
Three, two pitch to Washington.

528
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,960
Bouncing ball back to the mound.

529
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,960
They are going to go to first now.

530
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,960
They looked at second base where Frank White was almost cut off,

531
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,960
but they left it to go to first.

532
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,960
White holds it second.

533
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,960
The play goes one-three.

534
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:02,960
Frank White is second with two out for Willie Wilson,

535
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,960
who grounded his second his first time up.

536
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,960
You will hit it rather sharply, but right back to the pitcher.

537
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,960
Willie with a sixth game hitting streak, five for 18 in this series.

538
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,960
He was two for two against Jim Barr when he faced him in California.

539
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,960
The boy Jim Barr was a much different pitcher that night.

540
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,960
In fact, Willie let off that game with a single

541
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,960
short and the first inning of the Royals took an immediate lead.

542
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,960
Far from the stretch, the pitch to Willie.

543
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,960
Inside ball one.

544
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,960
Willie, as you know, a switch hitter up on the left side.

545
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,960
In close to the plate, here's the stretch, the pitch.

546
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,960
Ball two outside, two at a.

547
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,960
And Barr not quite as sharp in this inning with his control

548
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:01,960
as he has been through the first two.

549
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,960
He's not bad, but he's just not as sharp as he was.

550
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,960
Barr fidgeting.

551
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,960
Going to all parts of his uniform.

552
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,960
The Royals and everybody else accused him of loading the ball up.

553
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,960
White, he was thrown out of the game the last time.

554
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,960
Barr pitched against him in fact.

555
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,960
The Royals as well as the second, flanked white back in time.

556
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,960
Wilson's average, 3-14.

557
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,960
A 3-64 hitter against California.

558
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,960
So he's been tapped on the edge.

559
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,960
Barr taking a lot of time.

560
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,960
Goes to his uniform, now to his cap, now to his uniform pants.

561
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,960
And now looks in for the side.

562
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,960
And the stretch, to a pitch to Willie.

563
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,960
Bind base in left field, flanked white, turning around third.

564
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,960
And later for the third and second to keep Willie a first

565
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,960
in the two to one ball game.

566
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,960
Wilson singles and the Royals are on the board.

567
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,960
Wins the game.

568
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,960
Everything is here, now back right.

569
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,960
Once again the stolen base pays the dividend.

570
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,960
Flank white single, steal second.

571
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,960
And Willie Wilson caches it in.

572
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,960
Willie who is stolen more bases than anybody in baseball.

573
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,960
On the other end of it that time, getting the RBI.

574
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,960
And now we'll see what Willie's up to.

575
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,960
Hal McCrae the hitter, he was called out on strikes this

576
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,960
for a time up, Willie has a good lead.

577
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,960
He's at the edge of the artificial curve.

578
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,960
Stretched by Barr, throw the first Willie back.

579
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,960
Wilson is stolen 74 this year.

580
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,960
And he has stolen 34 of his last 35 attempts.

581
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,960
He's edging away.

582
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,960
Hal McCrae, deep in the batter's box waiting.

583
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,960
Throw the first Willie back.

584
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,960
Boy, Barr just carved McCrae up his first time at the plate.

585
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,960
Got two strikes on him pitching away, came in hard flight.

586
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,960
Then got him looking with a slider away.

587
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,960
And Hal McCrae a very intelligent hitter.

588
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,960
Obviously would be up there with a thought right now.

589
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,960
First thought probably is what Willie steals second if he can.

590
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,960
Second thought is he probably can.

591
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,960
Stretched by Barr, Willie not going to pitch his inside.

592
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,960
Ball runs so Barr started him inside that time.

593
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,960
George Brevin, he on deck circle.

594
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,960
Now two to one, California.

595
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,960
He outfields straight away.

596
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,960
Downing puts down the sign.

597
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,960
Bars about.

598
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,960
There goes Willie, the pitch is outside.

599
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,960
Throw the second.

600
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,960
He's got it stolen.

601
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,960
Number 75 for Willie Wilson.

602
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,960
Well the Royals case went earlier.

603
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:01,960
Now Willie steals it.

604
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,960
He represents the tying one with two out.

605
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,960
And Hal McCrae as the catcher.

606
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,960
Now he's got it stolen.

607
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,960
Now he's got a house and the three red golds.

608
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:13,960
And he represents the tying one with two out.

609
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,960
And Hal McCrae.

610
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,960
That's a count here's way in two and oh

611
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,960
Only four players before Willie Wilson.

612
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,960
An American league history of ever stolen 75.

613
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,960
Wide Milan at he compromise middle north.

614
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:30,960
Bill North.

615
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:39,960
And the crowd giving Willie a standing ovation to pick the match.

616
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,960
Round ball up the middle base, hip center field.

617
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,960
Wilson's going to score on the Royals and pop the Angels in the bottom of the third.

618
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,960
And Willie Wilson clapping in the hip hole plate and look at the dugout.

619
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,960
Oh you would think it's a nice inning.

620
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,960
The running game giving the Royals a big, big lift.

621
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,960
And Jim Barr looking like he had him shut off to the first two.

622
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:06,960
And all of a sudden the Royals rise up with two singles and two stolen bases make passion both.

623
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:17,960
And out comes manager Jim Fragosi now to talk to his right-hander Jim Barr.

624
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:18,960
Hip throughly.

625
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:19,960
Remember that.

626
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:26,960
That's the Royals coming back in his inning with some intensity.

627
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,960
And the Royals are running, forcing things and making them happen and then cashing them in.

628
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,960
Two stolen bases in the inning and they cash in both.

629
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,960
And Willie Wilson keys the inning with a two out single that drives home the first run

630
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:46,960
and stealing a base and scoring the second one.

631
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,960
We mentioned the three who had stolen 75 previously.

632
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,960
Clyde Myland did it twice.

633
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:57,960
Eddie Collins that was in 1909 and 1911.

634
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,960
Eddie Collins did it in 1910, Bill North in 1976.

635
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:08,960
So Willie Wilson is only the second American Ligur in the last 64 years

636
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,960
and only the fifth in history to ever do it.

637
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,960
Steal 75 in here.

638
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,960
Now McCrea first with two out here, George Thred.

639
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,960
George struck out his first time up.

640
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,960
Two out, bottom of the third, two two tie.

641
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,960
Action in the California full pen.

642
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:33,960
The pitch to Brett way outside and high and Barr missing badly with the pitch for the first time tonight.

643
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:34,960
This is raw baseball.

644
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,960
The wind is no factor.

645
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:37,960
It's not blowing.

646
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:44,960
It will help neither hitter nor pitcher.

647
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:45,960
Barr to Belp.

648
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:46,960
The pitch to Brett.

649
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,960
Strike on the outside corner one and one.

650
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,960
George comes back showing the good control they had earlier.

651
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,960
George at 332 with 21 home runs, 103 batted in.

652
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:05,960
Started the night just five points behind Fred Lin and the American Ligur batting rate.

653
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,960
There's the stretch by the right-hander.

654
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,960
One one pitch.

655
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,960
Bouncing ball to the second baseman, Bob Gritch.

656
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,960
Shoubles to the shortstop but the four south, the inning is over.

657
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,960
But the Royals get two runs on three hits with a couple of stolen bases.

658
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:20,960
They leave a man.

659
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:27,960
At the end of three, the Royals two to the angels two.

660
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:28,960
We cover the fourth.

661
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,960
The Royals have caught the angels we're tied to the Royals about hitting four to two.

662
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,960
And leading off for California Ralph Gar.

663
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:37,960
That's right.

664
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:38,960
Ralph Gar.

665
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,960
They're partying this afternoon for the Chicago White Sox.

666
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,960
He popped the short his first time up.

667
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,960
The left-handed batter hitting 280.

668
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,960
Nine home runs, 39 batted in.

669
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,960
He is right on top of home plate.

670
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:59,960
David throws a fastball and Gar waxes it in the right field for a base hit.

671
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:03,960
Left-handed batter, he had his right foot right on the plate practically.

672
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,960
So Gar singles right and he hit it hard.

673
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:17,960
The angels get the lead run aboard to start the fourth and here's Don Baylor, who home-run his first time up.

674
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,960
Baylor now hitting 301 with 35 home-runs, 136 batted in.

675
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:28,960
He leaves the American League and that department.

676
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,960
Jim Rice is in the two run home-run so he's at least eight in front of Rice.

677
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,960
Gar with good speed but not a good base-sealer.

678
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,960
He's stolen two and then caught four times in this year.

679
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,960
He's a step shy of the artificial turf.

680
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,960
Looks like he wants to run to throw to Baylor.

681
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:47,960
Low block by Porter.

682
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:48,960
Gar not going anywhere.

683
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,960
Want to know.

684
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,960
The outfield plays Baylor deep in the fall.

685
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,960
Pretty good place to play him.

686
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,960
He went deep with it the first time.

687
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:10,960
Boy, Baylor a rare combination of speed and power.

688
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,960
He is big, he can run.

689
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,960
What a pitch to him.

690
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,960
High fly ball, shallow center.

691
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,960
Washington backing out the shortstop calling for it.

692
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,960
Makes the catch one away.

693
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:23,960
Gar will hold it first.

694
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:28,960
So Table and Kesson later on to pop up the short will pause 10 seconds for station identification.

695
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,960
This is the Royals Baseball Network.

696
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:42,960
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

697
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:43,960
I've Karoova hit her now.

698
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,960
He was out on a fly ball to center his first time.

699
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:54,960
Karoova's average 313, 3 homers 43 battered in.

700
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,960
Get hit her.

701
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:01,960
Chamberlain ready to pitch to Karoova.

702
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,960
Ball high.

703
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:09,960
Want to know.

704
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:16,960
The only American Lake final Minnesota B.J. York this afternoon 3 to 1 in a make up game.

705
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,960
Chamberlain to Belchek's guard first to pitch.

706
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:26,960
Blue takes outside ball 2.

707
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,960
2-2 tied, top of the fourth.

708
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,960
Ralph Gar is first with one out.

709
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,960
And a tough, tough, tough hitter in there.

710
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,960
Two old picks, there goes Gar.

711
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,960
Line down the left field, line twisting foul.

712
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,960
The Angels on 2 and 0 were playing hit and run.

713
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,960
You think Jim Fragosi didn't want that ball to be fair?

714
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,960
He came out of the dugout to look down the line.

715
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:59,960
Fragosi was about three steps out of the dugout looking it over.

716
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:03,960
You think both sides think this game means something tonight?

717
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,960
Two balls and a strike to Karoova.

718
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,960
He is 2 for 13 in this series and that scares you a little bit.

719
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,960
Chamberlain now throws the first, Gar back.

720
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:25,960
The Bits, Karoova hits a high fly ball left field in shallow.

721
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,960
Wilson coming, he's there.

722
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:28,960
He's got it.

723
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,960
Gar retreats to first to Gar.

724
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,960
Go Chamberlain.

725
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:38,960
Gets Faber and Karoova now faces Bryan Downing who lined to left his first time up.

726
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,960
Gar is first with two out.

727
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,960
Bryan quiet in the sea a couple of words to Craig Chamberlain.

728
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,960
Boston batting to top of the ninth in Toronto, the Blue Jays lead 6-2.

729
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,960
Baltimore batting to top of the fourth Detroit.

730
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:58,960
Baltimore five, the Tigers three.

731
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,960
The Orioles magic number is three.

732
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,960
Bryan Downing right handed that her in.

733
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:06,960
Chamberlain's pitch.

734
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:12,960
Fast ball for a strike on the other part of the plate 0-1.

735
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:17,960
Tomorrow night in Oakland, Paul Spidore against Rick Langford.

736
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:24,960
Whitey Herzog at 9-10 tomorrow night.

737
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,960
Good, the first runner back.

738
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:33,960
That's it 9-10 and a headed check.

739
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,960
The Orange Angels are home tomorrow night to play the Texas Ranger.

740
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,960
The pitch.

741
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,960
Swinging into this.

742
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:49,960
I was due to Downing and if he ever take a lift he would fly across home plate.

743
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,960
He almost simply swung the bat so hard.

744
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,960
He's a right-handed batter and he wound up on the first base side of the batter's box.

745
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:05,960
You think there'll be some scoreboard watching on the West Coast tomorrow night?

746
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:06,960
Part two of your question.

747
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:13,960
Do you think the Oakland scoreboard will work?

748
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:14,960
This is the stretch.

749
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,960
0-2 pitch.

750
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:17,960
Lowered outside ball.

751
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,960
When you're really taken down that big scoreboard in Anaheim, the big A.

752
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:26,960
And they're operating with a high school type scoreboard.

753
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,960
They've got it above the left field fence.

754
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,960
A little electric kind.

755
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,960
They'll be announcing the score in Anaheim a lot.

756
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:36,960
Here's the stretch.

757
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:37,960
1-2 pitch to Brian Downing.

758
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:38,960
There goes the runner.

759
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:39,960
Pitch is popped up.

760
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,960
Now territory playable.

761
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:42,960
Darrell Porter off of the bat.

762
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:43,960
He's got it.

763
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:44,960
The inning is over.

764
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,960
So Grape Stabler works around the leadoff single by Gar.

765
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,960
He gets Baylor to reel and Downing.

766
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:51,960
Now runs the hit.

767
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,960
A man left to the bottom of the fourth way goes.

768
00:49:53,960 --> 00:50:01,960
The Royal's two and the Angels two.

769
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,960
Bottom of the fourth at 2-2 tie.

770
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:04,960
Darrell Porter will lead it off.

771
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:09,960
He's single this first time up.

772
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,960
Offensively in this series.

773
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,960
Willie Wilson is now six for 19.

774
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,960
He's scored four runs.

775
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,960
Kyle McCray is now seven for 14.

776
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,960
George Brevitt is seven for 14.

777
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,960
Darrell Porter seven for 13.

778
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,960
LaCotte five for 13.

779
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,960
Frank White five for 13.

780
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,960
The Royal's have had some offensive work.

781
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,960
Barr to Porter.

782
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,960
Outside took something off of it.

783
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:34,960
Ball one.

784
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,960
Ordered LaCotte Otis in the bottom of the fourth.

785
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,960
The Royal's about hit California.

786
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:41,960
Four to three.

787
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:42,960
They're tied 2-2.

788
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:44,960
Barnes pitch to Porter.

789
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,960
Breaking ball low two and 0.

790
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,960
Darrell hitting 2-93.

791
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:50,960
21-20 home runs.

792
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,960
108 RBI.

793
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,960
He's just four RBI's shy of the Royal team record.

794
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,960
112 set by Al Cowan.

795
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:58,960
2-0 pitch.

796
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,960
Low ball three 3-0.

797
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:08,960
So Barr who had tremendous control of the first two innings.

798
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,960
Now falling behind Darrell Porter 3-0.

799
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:12,960
Here's the pitch.

800
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,960
He walked him on fourth three.

801
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,960
Darrell Porter draws the base on balls.

802
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,960
He'll lead off the Royal half of the fourth inning.

803
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,960
So the lead run is on for the Royal.

804
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,960
It was for the Angels to start the top of the fourth.

805
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,960
And Craig Sable and Schecter.

806
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,960
Darrell Porter now has walked 108 times this year.

807
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,960
He's living in 108 runs.

808
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:35,960
He has scored 96.

809
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,960
Pete Matoc grounded as short his first time up.

810
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:43,960
As a five game innings three going.

811
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,960
Stretched by Barr the fish.

812
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,960
Strike on the outside corner to Pete Matoc.

813
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,960
So Jim Barr relocated that corner.

814
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,960
Pete with a look at his third base coach, Chuck Hiller,

815
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,960
who rolls through a series of signs for him.

816
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:03,960
Rod Karoo trying to keep Porter close to first.

817
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,960
Line drive towards the gap in left center.

818
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,960
But Don Boehner closes the gap and makes the catch.

819
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,960
It's actually more of a fly ball than a line drive.

820
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:11,960
It stayed up.

821
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:12,960
And Matoc is out.

822
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:13,960
Porter holds it first.

823
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:21,960
Now here's Ray Masodos who grabbed it as short his first time up.

824
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,960
And Royal space Barr back in June.

825
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,960
Otos was two for three against him with a home run and four RBI.

826
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:37,960
Barr got him the first time up tonight.

827
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,960
Happy to have Armed Forces radio with us.

828
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,960
Wherever you are in the world tonight, hope you're enjoying baseball in the States.

829
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:48,960
Pitch outside Otos, California, Asia, Kansas City Royals.

830
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,960
We're at Royal Stadium, Kansas City.

831
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,960
It's a big ball game.

832
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,960
After tonight nine games left in the regular season,

833
00:52:54,960 --> 00:53:00,960
the Angels at the moment two games in front of the Royals.

834
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,960
So this one means something.

835
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,960
Barr at the belt, the one old pitch notice.

836
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,960
Round ball back to the mound might be a double play.

837
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,960
Shortstop has one back to first two and the inning is over.

838
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,960
One, six, three, the Angels turn it over.

839
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,960
So the Royals waste the lead off walking them out of it a four.

840
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:17,960
No runs, no hits.

841
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:18,960
Nobody left.

842
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,960
And after four, the Royals two, the Angels two.

843
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,960
We go to the top of the fifth inning.

844
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,960
From California it'll be Gritch, Harlow and Anderson to face Craig Chamberlain.

845
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:30,960
Royals two, the Angels two.

846
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,960
We go to the fifth and again here's Denny.

847
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,960
I bet Bob Gritch has struck out he's over one in the contest.

848
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,960
Two runs on four hits for the Royals, two runs on three hits for California.

849
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,960
And neither team is there.

850
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:50,960
Bobby Gritch setting himself at the plate.

851
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,960
The line by Craig Chamberlain and here's the pitch.

852
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,960
It's inside one ball and no strike.

853
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,960
Chamberlain has three strikeouts thus far.

854
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,960
Hasn't walked anybody.

855
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:13,960
Built it into left center field, they sit willy over quickly to cut it off and Gritch will hang on with a single.

856
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,960
Bob Gritch gets his fourth hit of the series.

857
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:20,960
Now Larry Harlow's coming up.

858
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,960
Larry tripled and scored in the third inning.

859
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,960
The two California runs, Don Baylor a lead off homer in the second.

860
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:32,960
Harlow started the third inning with a triple and scored on Anderson's sacrifice play.

861
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:43,960
So for the third time in five innings, the angels have their lead off man aboard.

862
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:49,960
Harlow checking with his third base coach, Bobby Keddaff before stepping in.

863
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:54,960
The Royals are looking for the butt but Harlow's going to swing away and he chops one foul right at the plate.

864
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:59,960
No balls and one strike.

865
00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:06,960
Well we would like to salute and congratulate one of our five network stations KDRO in Sedalia.

866
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,960
They are celebrating their 40th birthday this month.

867
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:10,960
They've been on the air 40 years.

868
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:16,960
One of our original network stations KDRO.

869
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,960
They're fine sports director Jimmy Glenn.

870
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:25,960
So happy birthday to KDRO in Sedalia.

871
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,960
No balls and one strike on left-handed hitting Larry Harlow.

872
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,960
Bob Gritch at first caused the throw.

873
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:38,960
Bob has a very, very conservative lead over there.

874
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,960
Scoreboard totals identical.

875
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:41,960
Two runs, four hits.

876
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,960
No errors.

877
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,960
Chamberlain's pitch is high.

878
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:51,960
One ball and one strike.

879
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:57,960
Shortstop Jim Henderson in the on-deck circle.

880
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,960
This is the fourth and final game of the series.

881
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,960
Royals wait the series two games to one.

882
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,960
Chamberlain's 1-1 pitch to Harlow is lifted to center field.

883
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,960
Well hit, the room parodas backtracking.

884
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,960
Still retreating to make the catch.

885
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,960
Larry Harlow flies to deep center.

886
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,960
One away and up comes shortstop Jim Henderson.

887
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:34,960
Jim Henderson got Harlow home with a scoring five all the center in the third inning.

888
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,960
Better first, well away.

889
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:47,960
Top of the fifth inning, game tied 2-2.

890
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:54,960
A pitch to Jim Henderson is just a bit high when ball and no strike.

891
00:56:54,960 --> 00:57:00,960
Henderson was the angel of second selection in the 1975 June draft.

892
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,960
Worked his way up through the angel system.

893
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:10,960
Chamberlain's pitch is upstairs, ball two, 2-0.

894
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:20,960
Galen Sisko pops out of the Royal dugout and heads for the mound.

895
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,960
Brakes mechanics breaking down just a little bit here in the inning.

896
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,960
He's been up to Jim Henderson.

897
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:39,960
Bob Gritz started the inning with a solid single and Harlow hit the ball hard.

898
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,960
Now Galen's spotting that little mechanical flaws now.

899
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,960
Trying to get Craig back in the groove.

900
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,960
It looks like this is an oversimplification but not following through.

901
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:58,960
In other words, everything's ahead of the arm and the ball is up.

902
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,960
Jim Henderson meanwhile checking with Bobby Canop, the coach of third, Jim Bragosi,

903
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:12,960
watching his team from this near end of the angel dugout.

904
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,960
Two balls, no strikes on.

905
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,960
California shortstop Jim Henderson.

906
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,960
Bob Gritz at first, went away.

907
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,960
Here's the pitch, followed straight back.

908
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:28,960
This one will get the upper deck and it's 2-1.

909
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:30,960
Toronto defeated Boston 6-2.

910
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,960
Taylor Moore the win or Inko the lost.

911
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:38,960
Gleiss it is 39-09.

912
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,960
Two balls, one strike to pitch to Henderson.

913
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:43,960
Popped up, shallow right center field.

914
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:45,960
Everybody chasing it.

915
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:53,960
Al Collins coming in to make the play and they're two down.

916
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,960
But Craig able to come back from the 2-0 count to Jim Henderson.

917
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:06,960
And here's Rick Miller who applied to center in the first, was called out on strikes in the third.

918
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:12,960
The American League leader in home runs is Milwaukee's Glamon Thomas, he has 42.

919
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,960
Gleiss broke the tie with teammate Fred Lin.

920
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:24,960
Strike on the upside edge, nothing in one on Rick Miller.

921
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,960
Barney lands for DeFalo, game tied 2-2 in the top of the fifth.

922
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:34,960
The angels got one in the second, one in the third, the Royals two in the bottom of the third.

923
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,960
Gritz at first, two away, draws its row and is back standing to play rather close.

924
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,960
Chamberlain has a very quick move over to first.

925
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:53,960
And Gritz just found out all about it.

926
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:59,960
The first single to strike the fourth inning, that he was unable to move.

927
00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:06,960
The 0-1 delivery, going inside, one ball and one strike.

928
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:14,960
Here in the fifth, they'll lead off single by Bob Gritz, but now they're two out and he's still standing at first.

929
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:19,960
So the angels are unable to move their base runners.

930
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:25,960
Bobbie back to the bag, but oh how the Royals moved their base runners in the bottom of the third inning.

931
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:32,960
The classic case of getting the most out of the least.

932
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:47,960
Gritz a little bigger lead, doesn't go, the pitch to Miller is right through there and got one and two.

933
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:54,960
Rick Miller against the Royals this year has just one hit and eight trips.

934
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,960
A ball, two strikes on the left-handed hitter, Chamberlain's pitch.

935
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:07,960
It's the outsides on him and it even got two balls and two strikes.

936
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,960
The angels of 182, the Royals of 180.

937
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:19,960
The angels of loss 72, the angels of loss 70.

938
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,960
Signal given by Darrell Porter, now the 2-2 pitch on the way.

939
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,960
Ball three, three and two.

940
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:34,960
That was a big pitch for Chamberlain because now with three and two and two out, Bobbie Gritz will be off and running.

941
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:41,960
Here's Karni Lansford coming up next and Chamberlain about to make a big pitch.

942
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,960
Three and two, two out of the fifth inning. Here it comes.

943
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:46,960
Brown ball, base hit left-hield.

944
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:55,960
Gritz even though he was running must stop at second and here's Karni Lansford who has stuck out and bounced through the third baseman.

945
01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:02,960
Lansford is now one out of 13 in this series.

946
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,960
The ball is two out of 14.

947
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:11,960
Don Baylor is three out of 13.

948
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:22,960
Two on, two out, a 2-2 tie in the top of the fifth.

949
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,960
Well Craig was on in front of Rick Miller but letting him get away.

950
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,960
The pitch to Karni Lansford is guy to center.

951
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:33,960
The ball is two out of 14.

952
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:38,960
Two hits, no runs, a couple of them left.

953
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,960
We go to the bottom of the fifth.

954
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:55,960
The report says Alan Eagleton has decided to refuse a request from the association to concentrate solely on the association matters.

955
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:01,960
A 2-2 tie at Royal Stadium. We go to the bottom of the fifth inning and here is Al Cowan facing Jim Barr.

956
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,960
Flying by the right-hander in the pitch.

957
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,960
He started to go for a spider.

958
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:10,960
Checked his swing but the pitch broke into the strike zone and the count is 0-1.

959
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,960
Barr is 6'3", 215 pounder.

960
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:18,960
A professional since 1970.

961
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,960
Southern California native.

962
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:28,960
Glowing outside to Cowan, 1-1. Al fly to right field his first time up.

963
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:33,960
Jim Barr's best season was 1974 with the San Francisco Giants.

964
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:38,960
He won 13, lost 9, had an ERA of 2.74.

965
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,960
Seventh best in the National League. Good fast ball in the outside corner and it's 1-2.

966
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:50,960
Jim Barr owns the Major League record for retiring 41 consecutive batters.

967
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:55,960
That was back in 1972.

968
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,960
Here's the 1-2 pitch. Breaking ball is down to the shortstop.

969
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,960
Anderson gets the big hop.

970
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:06,960
Over to Rod Karoo in time 1-0.

971
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,960
Here's Frank Light.

972
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,960
Frank started the Royal 2-1 3rd innings.

973
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:17,960
He's single, stole a basin score.

974
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:27,960
The Royals used 3 singles and 2 stolen bases to produce the 2-run.

975
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:33,960
2 runs, 5 hits for California. 2 runs, 4 hits for the Royal.

976
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,960
Aligned by Barr and the pitch.

977
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:48,960
The heartbreaking fighters is slowing away. 1 ball with no strike.

978
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,960
Downing hangs out a sign for Jim. Here's the pitch.

979
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,960
5 ball, right center field. Well hit. Back goes Miller, back goes Harlow.

980
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:06,960
Right is off the wall and down goes Harlow with a heat.

981
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,960
Frank Light around the second on his way to third.

982
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:24,960
To throw to third, not in time.

983
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,960
Frank Light sips off the wall and right center field.

984
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:32,960
And I must say this way, Harlow really didn't play the ball that well.

985
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:37,960
It hit about halfway up on the wall. He would have had time perhaps to get back to the wall,

986
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,960
but he chose to jump.

987
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:41,960
And he just failed to come down to the baseball.

988
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,960
And the Royals had a chance to take the lead with UL Washington up there.

989
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,960
The Angels now are forced to pull their infield in for the play of the play.

990
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:54,960
UL got it back to the pitcher his first time up.

991
01:05:54,960 --> 01:06:00,960
Jim Barr asking for time once to talk with second baseman Bob Gritt.

992
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:08,960
Frank Light is two for two. Let's take the letter triple.

993
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:15,960
Washington has 18 RBI.

994
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,960
He could produce some nice speed right here. What a big one this is.

995
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,960
He can't field in. The outfield shallow and sheeted toward left.

996
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:28,960
Far's pitch squeezes on and they sense that Frank Light can chase back to third

997
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,960
and 20 Landford takes him out.

998
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:37,960
Well, they either picked off the side or gabbled in one, one of the two.

999
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,960
The Royals were going to squeeze on the first pitch.

1000
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:45,960
The Royals pitched out. Frank Light was halfway between home and third when downing caught the ball.

1001
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:52,960
And Brian ran him back toward third, gave the ball to Landford and tagged him out.

1002
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:57,960
Big, big play in a big ball game.

1003
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:05,960
So instead of having the lead run as third and one out, the bases are empty two away.

1004
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,960
One ball, no strike. That will go as the caught ceiling.

1005
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:15,960
And for Brian just the seventh time this year, UL swinging away, fouled fifth.

1006
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:25,960
One ball and one strike.

1007
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:30,960
Far getting the sign from downing. Here's the one one pitch.

1008
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:45,960
Breaking ball is twice foul off third into the lower deck one and two.

1009
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:49,960
A ball to strikes on UL Washington.

1010
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:54,960
Ball game in the bottom of the fifth, a two two tie.

1011
01:07:54,960 --> 01:08:01,960
The second bar brings it home. Fastball missed away two and two.

1012
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:05,960
Jim was the giant second pick in the summer of 1970.

1013
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:15,960
The giant's first draft choice that summer was a fellow by the name of Dave Kingman.

1014
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:23,960
Two balls, two strikes, two out.

1015
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,960
The last two is catcher, the two two pitch to Washington.

1016
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:32,960
Missed, low and outside, three and two.

1017
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,960
Well, the Royals have lost the runner at second base.

1018
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:44,960
They've lost one between home and third, but they've also scored two runs by virtue of the stolen base.

1019
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,960
Worked both ways.

1020
01:08:47,960 --> 01:09:07,960
The foul will be into the crowd, lower deck up to left field line, still three and two on UL Washington.

1021
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,960
Three and two, two out. Here's Bar's stitch.

1022
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:14,960
Blind drive into shallow center field, in comes Miller, makes the catch.

1023
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:21,960
And that's the inning. One hit no runs, the Royals, grand done, and the score at the end of five.

1024
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:25,960
The Royals two, California two.

1025
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:32,960
Nationally supermoto.

1026
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:39,960
Danny Matthews at the Royals stadium. We go to the top of the sixth, a two two tie and Ralph Garley's off for the angels.

1027
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:48,960
And then pops a shortstop in the first single in the fourth. Two runs, five hits for the Royals, two runs, five hits for California.

1028
01:09:48,960 --> 01:10:00,960
The pitch to the left-handed batter is a bouncing ball, short hop by LaCocchi brings it back to the bag, one away.

1029
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:13,960
Here's Don Baylor, who lined a home run over the wall and left in the second, and then popped to the shortstop in the fourth.

1030
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:19,960
The angels came up with one in the second and one in the third. The Royals scored two in the bottom of the third to tie it.

1031
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,960
And here we are in the top of the sixth.

1032
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:34,960
Speed and a ball. There we miss one ball and no strikes for Don Baylor. Don with 35 home runs, 136 runs batted in.

1033
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:45,960
The pitch to the right-handed batter, outside ball two, two and 0.

1034
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:54,960
Don hit 34 home runs last year, so his home run in the second inning tonight. You're passing his total of last year by one.

1035
01:10:54,960 --> 01:11:14,960
The two-oh-pitch foul ball back in out of play. 35 is a career high.

1036
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:26,960
Two balls and one strike on Don Baylor. Chamberlain's pitches swung Wade and hit into the crowd, foul no play down the right field line.

1037
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:37,960
People talk Wade out into the corner, but no chance. Two balls, two strikes on Don Baylor.

1038
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:48,960
Rod Caru kneeling in the on-jerk circle. Houston leading Atlanta by the score of 4-0 after 4 in Houston.

1039
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:58,960
The after-ohs two and a half back of the Cincinnati Red. The two-oh-pitch to Baylor struck him out.

1040
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:12,960
So Chamberlain gets his fourth strikeout, and here's Rod Caru. Rod's fly to center and the second fly to left in the fourth.

1041
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:21,960
That is only the 48th time that Don Baylor has struck out this year.

1042
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:31,960
Rod Caru spins one foul into the crowd back of the California dugout in his own run. As Houston leads Atlanta 4-0 after 4 in Houston,

1043
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:39,960
they are just starting in San Diego. The Reds in the Padres. Red Norman for the Reds and Randy Jones for the Padres.

1044
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:46,960
Two small left-enders. The oh-one pitch. Rod drills one into the right field corner. That'll be extra bases.

1045
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:52,960
He wheels around first and into second base with a two-hour double.

1046
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:59,960
Rod Caru's double gives Brian Downing a chance to put the angels back on top. Downing fly to left into the second,

1047
01:12:59,960 --> 01:13:09,960
fouled after the catcher in the fourth.

1048
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:15,960
The Tigers sixth, Baltimore sixth after four in Detroit.

1049
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:24,960
Montreal in the Mets, no score after four innings in their second game. Pirates lost in Montreal when they're first.

1050
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:29,960
Montreal in the Pirates in a first place tie in the National League East.

1051
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:40,960
Rod Caru at second two down. The pitch to Downing. Strike on the upside end.

1052
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:46,960
Downing up there in that wide open stance, almost directly facing the pitcher.

1053
01:13:46,960 --> 01:14:00,960
Chamberlain's oh-one delivery. Breaking stuff misses away. One ball and one strike.

1054
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:07,960
Downing just looking to pull. You better just concede the inside half of the plate to him.

1055
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:12,960
One one pitch, way outside, two balls and a strike.

1056
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:22,960
If he should get a ball on the inside half of the plate in that kind of a stance, he could drill holes in that left field wall all night.

1057
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:28,960
But Drake has pitched him well so far, a five ball to left to follow ball to the catcher.

1058
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:32,960
He needs to get him here with Rod Caru at second and two out in a two-two ball game.

1059
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:38,960
Way upstairs, ball three, three and one. And Bobby Gritch standing in the on-deck circle watching.

1060
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:49,960
Craig Chamberlain, very intently. Three and one, so the count is downing play.

1061
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:53,960
Chamberlain gets the sign from Porter. The three-one delivery.

1062
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:58,960
He let up and it's blowing outside ball four and runners the first and second for Bob Gritch.

1063
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:09,960
Gritch struck out in the second. He's single in the fifth.

1064
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:17,960
For Craig Chamberlain, that would be the first base on balls that he has issued tonight.

1065
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:24,960
Two on, two out, a two-two game. Top of the sixth.

1066
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:31,960
Bobby Gritch right-handed batter. The outfield straight away.

1067
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:41,960
Chamberlain brings it home. Gritch takes ball outside. One ball in those strikes, they go to work out on the Royal Bullpen.

1068
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:46,960
Darrell Porter has to talk with Chamberlain.

1069
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:53,960
Right-hander, Reedy Martin and left-hander, Gary Christensen go to work out on the Royal Pen.

1070
01:15:53,960 --> 01:16:05,960
The angels of that base runner that ever getting except the first.

1071
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:11,960
One ball in those strikes on Bobby Gritch. Rod Caruette second. Brian Downing, the runner at first.

1072
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:27,960
Here comes the 1-0 pitch. What can he miss? And it's a ball in the strike.

1073
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:43,960
A tenths of a moment at Royal Stadium. One and one, here's the pitch. Power ball will get out of play over the Royal dugout and into the seats. One and two now to count.

1074
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:57,960
So the advantage to the pitcher. Attention will continue to mount as we work our way out of the middle portion of the ball game into the late eights.

1075
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:08,960
And we're now in the top of the sixth. So you're getting down your final nine, ten, eleven, twelve out. Power ball back to the screen.

1076
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:16,960
Still one and two on Bobby Gritch.

1077
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:31,960
For Bobby Gritch, a veteran, he's been through the pen and pressures before. He, of course, was with Ballamore from 1971 on that he's in his third year now with the angels.

1078
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:49,960
One and two with two on and two out. Back ball outside and low. Two balls and two strikes. Gritch a three time off star. A four time gold glove winner.

1079
01:17:49,960 --> 01:18:04,960
Bob did well against the Royals last year, three fifty-three. Two and two, here's Timberlintzic. He stuck him out. He took a little something off the ball. That's his fifth strike up.

1080
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:16,960
No runs, one hit, a walk and two men left. We go to the bottom of the sixth. The remains, Royals two, California two.

1081
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:29,960
Bottom of the sixth inning, a two-two tie. Willie Wilson leading off. Willie Single to drive in a run. Stola Basin scored in the third. Bounce to second in the first.

1082
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:44,960
Here's the line by Jim Boyer in the pitch. Popped up. Short center bailed. Everybody chasing it. Second baseman Gritch under the ball and Bob makes the play. One pitch, one out.

1083
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:56,960
Here's Hal McRae. Hal Single in a run in the third inning. Struck out in the first. Bar has walked one. He is struck out two. No strikeouts, though, since the first inning.

1084
01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:12,960
Two runs, a half a dozen hits for the angels. Two runs, five hits for the Royals. Right hander against right hander. Bar to Hal McRae. It's outside. One ball, no strike.

1085
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:27,960
In Oakland tomorrow night, it'll be Paul Spudorf against Rick Langford. Saturday, Dennis Leonard in Matthew, Sunday, Larry Gura and Mike Morgan.

1086
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:49,960
The one-oh-pitch from Bar. Breaking stuff outside. Two and oh. A perfect night for a ball game. No breeze whatsoever. The temperature in the 70s. Here's the two-oh-pitch.

1087
01:19:49,960 --> 01:20:08,960
Bungity miss. Two and one. The Royals have stranded just one runner. That came in the third inning, the inning in which they scored their two runs.

1088
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:30,960
The line by Bar and the pitch. Bungity miss. Jim keeping the ball away from Hal. McCrae asking to play on fire was that a strike? Bremen get answered him verbally.

1089
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:53,960
Two balls and two strikes on Hal McCrae. Here comes the pitch. He struck him out. Hal McCrae goes down swinging. That will bring up Brett. George, the strike-out victim, his first time up, he's rolled into a force play, ending the third inning.

1090
01:20:53,960 --> 01:21:19,960
George with 207 hits. 21 of them home run. Bar and pitching in 196 innings has surrendered 22 homers. They sedentary two out, bottom of the sixth, the two-two tie. The lead-up is outside.

1091
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:31,960
Bar really hasn't tried to jam many of the Royal hitters. His patterns of both left-handers and right-handers just keep the ball away. There's a fast ball on the outside corner, one-and-one.

1092
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:45,960
He has thrown the fast ball inside, particularly to a few right-handed batters, but not for strikes. They've been inside. So he's making his living tonight on the outside corner.

1093
01:21:45,960 --> 01:22:00,960
One-and-one to George Brett. Right-handed ready in deals. Fast ball misses away, two-and-one. Nick Brevig and calling the balls and strikes.

1094
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:26,960
You talk about pressure on the players, the manager, the umpire. They have to live with the two. Two balls and a strike on George. Here's the pitch. Over but low, three-and-one. A narrow quarter waits in the on-deck circle.

1095
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:46,960
Decent right field is Larry Harlow. Jim Bar is taking over his pitches. The three-one pitch. It's sharply off the glove of Rob Caru in the right field. Brett will make the turn and tries for second. Harlow through to second. He is going to be out.

1096
01:22:46,960 --> 01:23:02,960
Anderson held the ball. That was the only question. Brett saying no, he didn't tag me. And Whitey, his side, was a lot of argue. The inning is over. Well, after waiting to see whether they call that a base hit or an error on Rob Caru, probably a base hit. He hit it very sharply.

1097
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:17,960
It is a single. So the Royals one hit, no runs. And after six innings, Royals two, California two.

1098
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:39,960
The Royals stadium. The Angels two runs, six hits and no errors. The Angels one in the second. Home run by John Baylor. One in the third. A triple by Harlow. A sacrifice fly by Jim Anderson. The Royals two in the bottom of the third. A one-out single by Frank White. A stolen base.

1099
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:51,960
A two-out single by Willie Wilson. Tied it. A stolen base by Willie, number 75. And a single by Hal McRae. Tied the ball game. So it's two-two. Quite a contest. To the seventh we go and here again is Brett.

1100
01:23:51,960 --> 01:24:05,960
Alright, thank you, Denny. Denny told you the total is identical. Just watching the ball game, the Angels have seemed to have the upper hand just a little bit. They've had a couple of threats the last two innings. They've had two men on. The Craig Chamberlain fought them off.

1101
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:20,960
Now he'll face Larry Harlow who has tripled and hit a ball to the warning track in center. So he's hit it hard twice. Ball outside, ball one. The Angels have hit the ball hard consistently tonight.

1102
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:35,960
They have a home run, a triple and a double. Half their hits extra bases. Harlow fouls one out of play. One ball, one strike. A two-oh-eight hitter but as we said he's counted it pretty good twice tonight.

1103
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:49,960
He tripled the gap in left center. He sent others to the warning track in center. One ball, one strike. The outfield straight away. Craig Chamberlain winding the pitch.

1104
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:57,960
Harlow lines it in the right field base. So again the Angels have the leadoff man aboard. That's one of the reasons again why you feel they've had the upper hand.

1105
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:06,960
This is the fourth time in the ball game not counting Baylor's home run. They've put their leadoff man aboard. He home are leading off the second. So that's five actually.

1106
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:15,960
Now Jim Anderson, the number nine hitter. He's got a sacrifice fly out on the fly ball to right. The Royals will be looking for a bun here.

1107
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:26,960
So it's Harlow, a two-oh-five hitter who is two for three and has hit the ball hard three times tonight who is providing some trust for the Angel offense. Go to first, runner back.

1108
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:47,960
Now the Bun, Anderson. Buns back to the mound. Chamberlain is going to throw the second base. Not in time. The low throw. That UL Washington couldn't pick it up cleanly.

1109
01:25:47,960 --> 01:26:01,960
Chamberlain did not hurry really getting to the ball and kind of took his time and then threw across his body. He didn't turn around to throw. Not a good play by the Royal pitcher.

1110
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:16,960
And the throw late to boot. Now out comes Gavilan Cisco. So now the Angels do have something going. Action in the Royal ball pit and the Angels have another threat going.

1111
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:24,960
Left hander Gary Christensen, right hander Rene Martin is throwing in the Royal ball pit.

1112
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:36,960
A sacrifice and a fielder's choice the way they score it. And runners at first and second, nobody out. Now the top of the order, Rick Miller, Carney Lansford and Ralph Gar coming up for California.

1113
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:51,960
And now Jim Fragosi can buzz with Rick Miller if he chooses and get runners to second and third. He will hope with nobody out. The Royal can counter that by putting a play on if they choose.

1114
01:26:51,960 --> 01:27:01,960
So we'll see what's happening. While the conferences go on, will remind you of Pat Spears in the leg all by itself because Pat is good naturally.

1115
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:11,960
Now Gavilan Cisco back to the dugout.

1116
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:17,960
Here's Rick Miller. One for three tonight. Singled his last time up and now the Angels wanting no mistakes.

1117
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:26,960
Are going to get together. Third base coach Bobby Cannot calls. Rick Miller up the third base line to talk to it.

1118
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:34,960
And we'll see if the Royal put a play on. Brett is shortened up a third. Piva Cock at first. You all watching the shortstop is over towards third.

1119
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:40,960
So they may have to play on where Washington goes to third and the Royal try to get the fourth out over there.

1120
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:46,960
Hollow with a runner at second. That's pretty good speed.

1121
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:53,960
Brett down the line. Around the bunch. Remember, a bunch of the third base lines are going to go to third. They caught him.

1122
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:57,960
The Royal put the play on and gets a fourth at third.

1123
01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:05,960
George Brett was charging down the line and he was looking. Rick Miller right in the eye and Miller put a ball right at him.

1124
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:10,960
So they get the fourth out at third to play going five, six, the shortstop UL Washington covering.

1125
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:25,960
And the Royal forced to third. Anderson goes to second and Miller now at first and Connie Lansford the hitter. He's over three tonight.

1126
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:30,960
Well, I'll tell you, George Brett was looking right down the barrel that time and he made the play.

1127
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:40,960
And Lansford in the stretch by Chamberlain to pitch. Ball inside ball one and the pitch a little up.

1128
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:45,960
Two to tie. Top of the 70. Angels with runners at first and second one out.

1129
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:55,960
Carney Lansford a 292 hitter. Right hander against right hander. Chamberlain ready off the stretch. The one-oh-pitch.

1130
01:28:55,960 --> 01:29:02,960
The line in the left field, they sit. Willie Wilson plays it on the short hop. The river around third. The throw is going to be to the plate.

1131
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:13,960
Not in time. Runner scores. And the Angels take the lead three to two. Just the second hit in this series for Connie Lansford, but what a big one it is.

1132
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:24,960
He drives in his 73rd run of the year. And the Angels have taken the three to two lead. Still runners at first and second one out.

1133
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:34,960
And Ralph Garth the hitter. Garth won for three tonight.

1134
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:49,960
So Connie Lansford comes through with a big base hit for the California Angels. And the Royals not out of the woods yet here.

1135
01:29:49,960 --> 01:30:01,960
Now out comes Whitey Herzog. Gerald Porter walked out to the mound and looked into the dugout.

1136
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:09,960
So out comes Whitey.

1137
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:15,960
And that's going to do it for Craig Chamberlain. They want the left hander Gary Christensen to pitch to Ralph Garth.

1138
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:21,960
And we'll see if Jim Fagosi counters that move. So the Royals going to make a pitching change. We're in the top of the seventh.

1139
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:27,960
The Angels have letters of first and second one out. A run home to change mate with a score. The Angels free the Royals too.

1140
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:34,960
While the Cincinnati Reds and the Houston Astros battle when Chicago is batting in the top of the ninth inning.

1141
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:45,960
Looky left hander Gary Christensen comes out of the Royal Bullpen to make his sixth appearance of the year. He was called up for Bobo after the September 1st deadline.

1142
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:52,960
He's worked in the third innings given 10 hits to home runs. Has no decisions, no faith.

1143
01:30:52,960 --> 01:31:00,960
And he will face Ralph Gar here at Ralph Gar very much. A key man in the ballgame now. The Angels have taken the one run lead.

1144
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:06,960
And they have letters of first and second with just one out. Gar gets the hit. It's Baylor and Carew coming up.

1145
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:14,960
So Gar could really set up a big inning. He is the key man in the ballgame right now. He's won for Glee tonight.

1146
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:26,960
Glee marked ready in the ballpen. Al Rapofsky throwing now. White-handed hitters coming up. This likely the only man that Christensen will face.

1147
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:39,960
Glee to two Angels, top of the seventh. And the Royal's in hot water. Gar digs in Christensen at the belt of pitch.

1148
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:47,960
White-called breaking ball. Gar was backing off. Gar can run like the dick. He would be a tough man to double up.

1149
01:31:47,960 --> 01:32:02,960
He is mopped up and grounded out. Here's the 0-1 pitch. Bouncing ball, high bounce of the mound. Christensen's only played a first. He's got Gar.

1150
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:10,960
The runners move up. And they're a second and third for Don Baylor now. That out comes Whitey Herzog. So Christensen got his man, although Gar did advance the runners.

1151
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:23,960
Now first base open with Baylor coming up. And Whitey Herzog wants the right-handers. So Lady Martin now. Will come out of the ballpen.

1152
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:41,960
Christensen got his man. He got Gar, although the high bouncer to the mound allowed the runners to advance. So now it's runners that second and third with two out.

1153
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:57,960
Appearance number 22 now for Rainey Martin. He's one-none loss free. He has four saves. And all he has asked to do here is to retire the man who leads the Major Leagues and runs Bet-It-In.

1154
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:08,960
Runners that second and third, two out. The Angels waiting three to two. And Don Baylor at the plate. Baylor at 300 hitter with 35 home runs, 136 RBI.

1155
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:17,960
First base is open, but forget it. Rod Carew is in the on-text circle. So you've got to go after Baylor here.

1156
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:27,960
Now Dan Quisenberry joins Al Robosky in the ball pit. Gary Christensen got a big out. Rainey Martin now has to do the same thing.

1157
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:41,960
Baylor in, Martin picks up the sign. And here comes the pitch. Lined in the center field, a base hit and that's worth two runs. And Baylor again comes through for the California Angels. They lead five to two.

1158
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:50,960
Don Baylor not waiting. He went right after the first pitch and he drilled it right back up the middle. So Miller scores and Lansford scores.

1159
01:33:50,960 --> 01:34:02,960
And the Angels have scored three in the top of the seventh. They lead now five to two. Well, all year long it has been Don Baylor who has been the man for the California Angels.

1160
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:12,960
And here tonight with the pressure on the Angels, they needed the win. He holdered in the second and now he has driven a two run single in the seventh inning.

1161
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:23,960
So Baylor now is driven in 138 runs and three very, very big ones here tonight. Now Rod Caru will hit with Baylor at first and two out.

1162
01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:31,960
And the Royals are going to be forced to come from behind. Five to California, the top of the seventh.

1163
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:37,960
And a while through the first on the pick off attempt up the right field line and Don Baylor now goes the second base.

1164
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:49,960
An error on the pitcher, Renie Martin. And that could be a very big play because now you've got Caru at the plate with Baylor in scoring position.

1165
01:34:49,960 --> 01:35:06,960
Jim Pagosi, the Angel manager, wants to talk to the first base umpire now.

1166
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:14,960
Jim Pagosi wants to know if Pete McCock is trying to grab that throw with reflected Don Baylor.

1167
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:27,960
The first base umpire Jim Evans did not call it.

1168
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:38,960
And the Baylor at second, you've got first base open and Rod Caru at the plate so they won't throw with Rod Caru here.

1169
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:45,960
Brian Downing the on deck circle so they're going to walk Rod Caru.

1170
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:52,960
And it'll be runners at first and second, two out for Brian Downing.

1171
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:59,960
And then they'll have to pick up the time getting anything going against Jim Barr here tonight. Now they're down by three runs in the seventh.

1172
01:35:59,960 --> 01:36:07,960
After tonight there are nine games left in the season that the Angels win it. They have a three game lead.

1173
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:11,960
And it'll be very, very tough for the Royals.

1174
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:15,960
Now out comes Whitey Herzog and he'll want Dan Quisenberry to pitch to Brian Downing.

1175
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:19,960
The Royals will make their third pitching change here in the inning.

1176
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:28,960
So Whitey Batling trying to stop the Angels here. He wants matchups that he wants.

1177
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:33,960
So Dan Quisenberry will become the fourth Royal pitcher here in the inning.

1178
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:37,960
Craig Chamberlain the starting pitcher began the inning.

1179
01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:43,960
Glitchinson came out and got one man, Renie Martin.

1180
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:45,960
Gave up to single to Don Baylor.

1181
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:52,960
Now walks Caru intentionally after a throwing error. So right hander Dan Quisenberry now will be asked to get Brian Downing.

1182
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:58,960
And while we have a moment, let's pause 10 seconds for station identification. This is the Royals baseball network.

1183
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:03,960
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

1184
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:15,960
Dan Quisenberry who picked up a save here last night.

1185
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:21,960
Now makes his 30th appearance of the year. He's won three, lost two and saved four. He's earned that average 2.57.

1186
01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:27,960
5-2 California in the top of the 7.

1187
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:35,960
It'll be Porter LaCocca noticed for the Royals in the bottom of the inning.

1188
01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:41,960
And we mentioned earlier that California all year long has been a good offensive club late in the ball game.

1189
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:50,960
So you could sort of see it coming. They mounted threats in the fifth and the sixth, but Craig Chamberlain fought them off.

1190
01:37:50,960 --> 01:38:05,960
Now they break through here in the seventh.

1191
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:11,960
Quisenberry taking his warm up talk.

1192
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:18,960
32,659 here at Royal City of the Night.

1193
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:31,960
You can close the books now on Craig Chamberlain in six and a third innings. They gave up eight hits and five runs. They were all earned.

1194
01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:38,960
We have a moment we'll salute the Unroyal Theater. Unroyal Pirate Auto in 3503 South Nolan Road in Independence, Missouri.

1195
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:44,960
And DNH Tyre at 919 Troop in Kansas City, Missouri.

1196
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:50,960
And Quisenberry finishing his warm up talk.

1197
01:38:50,960 --> 01:39:01,960
And now Brian Downing will be the hitter. Don Bader at second. Rod Caru at first. Two outs.

1198
01:39:01,960 --> 01:39:08,960
So the Royals pulled out all the stops in the inning trying to stop the angels.

1199
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:19,960
But Connie Lansford delivered one big single and Don Bader at other. And now here's Brian Downing. He's full for two tonight. He's walked, lined out and fouled out.

1200
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:27,960
And he could punch a great big hole in this ball game right here. Quisenberry working off the stretch to pitch to Brian Downing on the way.

1201
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:34,960
Breaking ball for a strike going one.

1202
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:45,960
The good crowd now somewhat subdued by this angel charge in the top of the seventh.

1203
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:53,960
The Royals have three more shots at it. Quisenberry ready. Long looking for runners to pitch.

1204
01:39:53,960 --> 01:40:10,960
And now it's time to count even that one one. The angels now about hit the Royals nine to six.

1205
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:19,960
Now the Bosque still throwing in the bullpen. Quisenberry's pitch Downing takes outside ball two, two and one.

1206
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:26,960
The high breaking ball missed away.

1207
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:33,960
What was all the pitching changes? The angels have been batting for a while here in the top of the seventh.

1208
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:41,960
Other games around the league they may think the angels are scoring eight or nine. They have scored three.

1209
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:51,960
Now the stretch to one pitch. Downing plays it's a long fly ball to deep left field. There she goes and he's broken it wide open.

1210
01:40:51,960 --> 01:41:10,960
A great run over for Brian Downing. His twelfth of the year and it's now the angels eight to the Royals two.

1211
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:19,960
Boy Brian Downing just jumped all over a Dan Quisenberry pitch. He was nearly halfway up the bank in left field.

1212
01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:30,960
And now six runs home in the inning and some of the fans immediately get up and start to head for the exit.

1213
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:38,960
And Brian Downing got it all. Now here's Bobby Griske the ninth man to bat in the inning. Ground ball to second that'll be the inning.

1214
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:47,960
He's got it. Throws the first. The inning is over but a big round for California. Six runs score in the inning.

1215
01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:53,960
There were four hits. An error and nobody left. Brian Downing took care of that. He cleaned them up.

1216
01:41:53,960 --> 01:42:00,960
We go to the bottom of the seventh. California eights the Royals two.

1217
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:07,960
Well the Royals have to climb them out. Eight to two California's we go to the bottom of the seventh.

1218
01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:12,960
It's amazing how pattern or set early in the years that continue all year long.

1219
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:17,960
California early in the year. British approved to be an explosive ball club in late inning.

1220
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:23,960
They say that way all year. They were that here tonight. Certainly with six runs in the seventh.

1221
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:30,960
The Royals obviously had problems in the bullpen coming out of spring training and they really haven't been able to solve it all year long.

1222
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:35,960
They've had stretches where they were good last night. They came out. They were good but tonight.

1223
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:40,960
They're dropping the angels. So now the Royals. It's very simple.

1224
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:47,960
Either have a big inning or go on the road hurting nine games left in the season and they could be down by three.

1225
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:54,960
They'll pull the lead off. Bars six. Outside ball one.

1226
01:42:54,960 --> 01:43:01,960
This is our twenty-fifth start. He has completed only five of his twenty-four previous starts.

1227
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:08,960
There's been a handful here tonight. Right called on the outside quarter one to one.

1228
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:16,960
Their reporter tonight is single and one.

1229
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:23,960
Right hander Jim Barr delivers the one one pitch. This is outside two and one.

1230
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:33,960
They're all ported up there taking the Royals need base runners and he wants to make bar work a little bit.

1231
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:41,960
Two one pitch on the way. Lined in the left field at base fifth so ported to board.

1232
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:49,960
Now Pima-Cocco here. Pico for two tonight.

1233
01:43:49,960 --> 01:43:55,960
They're moving around in a California bullpen so Jim Fragosi's going to waste no time.

1234
01:43:55,960 --> 01:44:00,960
He's going to get somebody working right now.

1235
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:06,960
The Royals will simply have to hit their way back into it if they can.

1236
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:10,960
Montreal and the Mets are all tangled up. Montreal won the first game of their double header.

1237
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:18,960
The Pirate's lost and now a second game at Chase Stadium. Nothing nothing after seven innings.

1238
01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:22,960
Jim Barr to Lacan. Bouncing ball. Second looks like a double play.

1239
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:27,960
He should stop Scott one back to first two. Four six three.

1240
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:31,960
Very quickly Jim Barr comes back to get the double play so two out and nobody on.

1241
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:34,960
Deimos Otos who's over here tonight.

1242
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:37,960
Cardinals beat the Cubs two to one.

1243
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:41,960
Silvio Martinez the winner down at Lamp to Loser.

1244
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:52,960
Tombert for Baltimore in the seventh inning with nobody on. His twenty fourth Baltimore seventy.

1245
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:58,960
Barr ready. Here's the pitch notice. Bouncing ball to third. Fair ball back into deep side.

1246
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:01,960
Lansford along through safe. Otos Beatson.

1247
01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:07,960
Now the double play looks so big. Now Cowins will hit over to tonight.

1248
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:24,960
And you can drop into your convenient neighborhood pop shop where twenty six fabulous flavors are still just pennies a bottle.

1249
01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:27,960
It's still not impossible for the Royals to win if they can't pull this one out.

1250
01:45:27,960 --> 01:45:34,960
The boy it is tough if the angels could just play five and four baseball after tonight if they win tonight.

1251
01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:39,960
The Royals would have to go eight and one and the angels play six and the remaining nine at home.

1252
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:44,960
The Royals play six of them meaning nine on the road.

1253
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:46,960
Bars pitch to Cowins.

1254
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:56,960
Slow it outside.

1255
01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:02,960
The angels have landed a haymaker with a six run seventh inning.

1256
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:05,960
Cowins. Ground ball up the middle. Rich backhand.

1257
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:08,960
Clips to the shortstop in time for the fourth bout. The inning's over.

1258
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:11,960
Nothing doing for the Royals. No runs to hit. They leave them that.

1259
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:14,960
And after seven the angels eight the Royals two.

1260
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:21,960
Lonnie Shelton that rookie.

1261
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:24,960
Seven innings by the angels eight the Royals two.

1262
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:28,960
And the Royals have just two more shots with a very big comeback on top of that.

1263
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:30,960
They have to stop California. We'll go to the eight.

1264
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,960
Eight to two. The angels in front and again here's the inning.

1265
01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:37,960
I've read Larry Harlow will start things.

1266
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:41,960
Eight runs on ten hits for the angels. Two runs eight hits for the Royals.

1267
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:45,960
The Royals have made the only error tonight.

1268
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:47,960
Larry Harlow is one out of two out of three.

1269
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:49,960
Singled in the seventh.

1270
01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:52,960
Crippled and scored in the third by the deep center in the fifth.

1271
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:54,960
The fourth center late.

1272
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:58,960
Larry Harlow.

1273
01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:05,960
So Larry Harlow left handed batter up there.

1274
01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:08,960
Here's the line by Cris and Barry in the pitch.

1275
01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:10,960
Lined in the center field they sit.

1276
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:13,960
Larry Harlow three out of four tonight.

1277
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:17,960
And eleven angel hits.

1278
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:19,960
The batter Jim Hedder center.

1279
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:24,960
He's checking with his third base coach Bobby Canop.

1280
01:47:24,960 --> 01:47:36,960
I feel the angels tonight feeling that they just can't have enough runs.

1281
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:39,960
So we'll see if Anderson is up there to bun.

1282
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:41,960
Layed down a bun his last time.

1283
01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:44,960
Joe Venter under the sacrifice fly in his first trip.

1284
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:46,960
He's bunning. Buns follow back to the screen.

1285
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:55,960
She comes and the count is 0-1.

1286
01:47:55,960 --> 01:48:03,960
The angels have at least one hit at every inning except the first.

1287
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:10,960
Joe Ball's in a strike on Jim Anderson.

1288
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:13,960
Dan Quisenberry set at the belt.

1289
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,960
The pitch to Anderson he pulls the bat back and takes it flowing outside.

1290
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:18,960
One ball and one strike.

1291
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:20,960
Rep charging from third.

1292
01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:26,960
People cock coming down from first.

1293
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:31,960
Bobby Canop the third base coach going through a series of signs.

1294
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:38,960
And now Anderson back up to the point.

1295
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:40,960
Quisenberry coming set.

1296
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:42,960
Anderson to bun.

1297
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:53,960
The ball up along first and the count is now 1-2 on Jim.

1298
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:59,960
Come on, the angels play the Texas Rangers and Doc Medage will pitch against Frank Donata.

1299
01:48:59,960 --> 01:49:04,960
Saturday afternoon, Chris Knapp pitches against Steve Comer.

1300
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:10,960
And then the angels say that Sunday Dave Frost or Don Opsley against Bernie Jenkins.

1301
01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:14,960
They play the Texas Rangers 3 while the Royals battle in Oakland.

1302
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:18,960
Down low to Anderson, two balls and two strikes.

1303
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:23,960
Woodoff and Langford tomorrow night, Leonard and Pio on Saturday.

1304
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:29,960
Gura and Morgan will pitch on Sunday.

1305
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:31,960
Two balls, two strikes on Anderson.

1306
01:49:31,960 --> 01:49:35,960
Larry Harlow at first with nobody out top of the eighth.

1307
01:49:35,960 --> 01:49:37,960
He struck him out.

1308
01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:41,960
But Jim Anderson after twice stealing the punch strikes out.

1309
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:43,960
And now Rick Miller of the leadoff.

1310
01:49:43,960 --> 01:50:05,960
Man, Rick is one out of four, a fifth inning single.

1311
01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:08,960
Here's the stretch by Dan Quisenberry, tops over to first.

1312
01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:11,960
And Harlow diving back into the base set first.

1313
01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:15,960
The angels took a 1-0 lead in the second and 2-0 lead in the third.

1314
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:20,960
The Royals promptly tied it with two in the bottom of the third.

1315
01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:28,960
And then the angels hit the Royals with that sixth run, seven.

1316
01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:40,960
Rick Miller takes the low and inside, one ball and no strike.

1317
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:45,960
If the angels hang on and win this game tonight, they will have won five out of seven.

1318
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:47,960
Here at Royal Stadium this year.

1319
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:50,960
First the Royals are 3-0 and Enheim.

1320
01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:53,960
Bouncing ball up the middle, Frank White can't get it.

1321
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:55,960
Harlow makes the turn at second.

1322
01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:59,960
Pointed third, Otis throw to breath, not in time.

1323
01:50:59,960 --> 01:51:01,960
So Miller bounces a single to center.

1324
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:06,960
Riders at first and third one out.

1325
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:09,960
Eddie Rodriguez and Al Robowski throwing in the Royal bullpen.

1326
01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:11,960
And here is Carney Lansford.

1327
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,960
Lansford one out of four, but that one hit has spread set up big one.

1328
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:18,960
A single to drive in the run in the seventh.

1329
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:23,960
That broke the 2-2 tie and set the table for Don Baylor and Brian Downing.

1330
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:30,960
Baylor a two run single and Downing a three run homer.

1331
01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:34,960
So most people will remember Baylor single.

1332
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:37,960
More than that will remember Downing's three run homer.

1333
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:42,960
Yet Carney Lansford has the hit to put the angels ahead.

1334
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:57,960
Round ball followed outside third, 0-1.

1335
01:51:57,960 --> 01:51:59,960
Another big play occurred back in the Royal fifth inning.

1336
01:51:59,960 --> 01:52:03,960
Frank White tripled with one out.

1337
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:08,960
And then a squeeze play, an aborted squeeze play as the angels sniffing it out,

1338
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:14,960
and Frank White was dead between home and third.

1339
01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:19,960
So that was another big play and a big game.

1340
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:23,960
No balls and a strike on right-handed hitting Carney Lansford.

1341
01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:29,960
Way inside one and one.

1342
01:52:29,960 --> 01:52:37,960
The angels, it does the hits now.

1343
01:52:37,960 --> 01:52:41,960
Signal given, Dan Quisenberry into the stretch.

1344
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:45,960
With runners at first and third and one out, the 1-1 pitch to Carney Lansford.

1345
01:52:45,960 --> 01:52:48,960
A little blooper into right field, out goes Frank White to make the catch.

1346
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:52,960
And the runners are made at first and third, now there are two down.

1347
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:54,960
The batter is Ralph Gar.

1348
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,960
Ralph in his first game with the angels, one for four.

1349
01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:06,960
He singles back in the fourth inning.

1350
01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:13,960
Left-handed batter, right-handed pitcher.

1351
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:17,960
Both men rather unorthodox.

1352
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:23,960
Quisenberry, a side-armed slicker baller, or a side-armed do, almost submarine,

1353
01:53:23,960 --> 01:53:33,960
goes that slicker ball and guards just a wild free slinger.

1354
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:36,960
Runners at first and third, two down, eight to two angels.

1355
01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:38,960
Ball game in the top of the eighth.

1356
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:47,960
Topped over to first, the runner back.

1357
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:50,960
The stretch and the pitch to Gar.

1358
01:53:50,960 --> 01:54:02,960
During the breaking ball and it stayed outside, one ball and no strike.

1359
01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:06,960
Ralph Gar, a former national leagueer.

1360
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:09,960
In fact, he won the National League batting championship with the Atlanta Braves.

1361
01:54:09,960 --> 01:54:18,960
Shopping foul behind the plate, one ball and one strike.

1362
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:22,960
Remember, you're always a welcome sight at the sign of skilling.

1363
01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:31,960
A ball and a strike on Ralph Gar.

1364
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:34,960
Quisenberry, Harlow at third, Rick Miller at first.

1365
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:38,960
And with two down, here is Quisenberry's 1-1 pitch to Gar.

1366
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:46,960
Outside, two and one.

1367
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:53,960
Things are very quiet at Doyle Stadium at the moment.

1368
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:57,960
That's what that sixth run seventh inning did.

1369
01:54:57,960 --> 01:55:02,960
So, one and one to Gar, take to third, take to first, no throw either place.

1370
01:55:02,960 --> 01:55:05,960
Quisenberry just trying to keep the runners on it.

1371
01:55:05,960 --> 01:55:10,960
Gar meanwhile at the plate awaiting the 2-1 pitch.

1372
01:55:10,960 --> 01:55:12,960
And it comes.

1373
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,960
Bouncing ball out towards Frank White at second.

1374
01:55:15,960 --> 01:55:18,960
He's got it over to first base in time, side to side.

1375
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:20,960
Two hits, no run, two men left.

1376
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:22,960
The angels have stranded seven.

1377
01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:26,960
Through the bottom of the eighth we go, angels eight, Royals two.

1378
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:28,960
Royals come to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning.

1379
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:33,960
And Steve Braun and Jamie Corkar, going to bat for White in Washington.

1380
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:40,960
Steve Braun hitting for Frank White, Frank, had a single, a triple, or unscored, and it's stolen base.

1381
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:45,960
Steve Braun hitting, two fifty-seven, four homers, nine RBIs.

1382
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:49,960
Jim Barr's pitch on the outside corner, strike call.

1383
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:56,960
Barr trying to win his pitch.

1384
01:55:56,960 --> 01:55:59,960
No balls and one strike on the left-handed batter.

1385
01:55:59,960 --> 01:56:01,960
Here's the pitch.

1386
01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:05,960
Sharp hit, brown ball, player past third and up the left field line.

1387
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:09,960
And Braun is still got rendering well with that score heel designed with a single.

1388
01:56:09,960 --> 01:56:19,960
And out there, a little run for Braun.

1389
01:56:19,960 --> 01:56:23,960
Here comes Jamie Corkar to bat for UL Washington.

1390
01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:27,960
It's running for Braun, number one, Jerry Carroll.

1391
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:31,960
And Steve Corkar, number nine, Jamie Corkar.

1392
01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:34,960
Here's Jamie Corkar, the left-handed batter.

1393
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:39,960
They have played eight innings, they've changed it in New York in the second game of that double header.

1394
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:41,960
Montreal nothing, New York nothing.

1395
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:44,960
Montreal won the first game six to three.

1396
01:56:44,960 --> 01:56:50,960
If Montreal wins, they're in first place by a half game, if they lose, they're in second place by a half game.

1397
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:53,960
The Pirates lost to the Phillies.

1398
01:56:53,960 --> 01:56:59,960
Jamie Cork getting 294 with a half a dozen RBIs.

1399
01:56:59,960 --> 01:57:11,960
The 60 James is a fast ball outside, one ball and no strength.

1400
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:13,960
Eight to two, California.

1401
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:17,960
Royal's have nine hits, the Angels a dozen.

1402
01:57:17,960 --> 01:57:19,960
The fifth to court.

1403
01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:21,960
Line drive, they hit right field.

1404
01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:25,960
Carroll stops the second and the Royal's have two on, nobody out.

1405
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:28,960
And the top of the batting order coming up.

1406
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:41,960
He's out of the California bullpen, Montague and LaRose.

1407
01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:46,960
Jamie Corkar's really done some job as a pitch hitter, especially in the last couple of months.

1408
01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:53,960
Every time Whitey's sitting up there, he's responding.

1409
01:57:53,960 --> 01:58:00,960
Up comes Jim Fragosi.

1410
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:06,960
Jim Fragosi moving towards the mound after the back to back singles by the pitch hitter.

1411
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:09,960
We're going to pause right here for station identification.

1412
01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:13,960
This is the Kansas City Royals radio network.

1413
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:15,960
This is him.

1414
01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:26,960
Jim Fragosi has signal towards the bullpen and he's going to make a pitching change.

1415
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:32,960
Right under John Montague, who appeared here two nights ago and did a fine job, is going to come in.

1416
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:44,960
So the pitching change is being made by the Angels here in the bottom of the inning with the score, the Angels eights, the Royals two.

1417
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:47,960
Back in Royal City, and the Royals kind of amount of charge here.

1418
01:58:47,960 --> 01:58:50,960
John Montague, the new California pitcher.

1419
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:53,960
Montague since joining the Angels from Seattle.

1420
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:57,960
Has the 30-11 times for Jim Fragosi.

1421
01:58:57,960 --> 01:59:02,960
He's won two, lost none, saved six, allowed 14 hits and 15 innings.

1422
01:59:02,960 --> 01:59:04,960
He walked five-psycho.

1423
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:12,960
Over all this year, dividing Seattle and California, eight and four, seven saves.

1424
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:17,960
That is Willie Wilson. That is the first and second nobody out, eight to two Angels.

1425
01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:25,960
The Royals try to establish some momentum.

1426
01:59:25,960 --> 01:59:31,960
32,659 the Bated Tendons tonight.

1427
01:59:31,960 --> 01:59:34,960
Willie Wilson on the left side against Montague.

1428
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:37,960
John Stich, foul ball off third.

1429
01:59:37,960 --> 01:59:41,960
Rocketing into the three from the count, oh and one.

1430
01:59:41,960 --> 01:59:50,960
Willie became only the fifth player in American League history to steal 75 or more bases in a season.

1431
01:59:50,960 --> 01:59:54,960
He swiped second back in the third inning for his 75th.

1432
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:59,960
He'll win pitches, but it's foul and now the count is Montague's way, nothing in two.

1433
01:59:59,960 --> 02:00:03,960
Al McCrae will follow and then George Brett.

1434
02:00:03,960 --> 02:00:15,960
Dave LaRoch continues to throw in the Angels bullpets.

1435
02:00:15,960 --> 02:00:19,960
Right hander Don Ossi is now joined Dave LaRoch.

1436
02:00:19,960 --> 02:00:22,960
Two on, nobody out, eight to two California.

1437
02:00:22,960 --> 02:00:25,960
Ball game in the bottom of the eighth inning.

1438
02:00:25,960 --> 02:00:27,960
The O2 pitch to Willie.

1439
02:00:27,960 --> 02:00:32,960
He struck him out, Montague, took something off that pitch.

1440
02:00:32,960 --> 02:00:35,960
So Willie down swinging and here's Al McCrae.

1441
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:47,960
Mac is one out of three, he's single to drive in and run in the third.

1442
02:00:47,960 --> 02:00:55,960
The Angels now looking for a double play.

1443
02:00:55,960 --> 02:01:00,960
They have turned over two double plays tonight, one in the fourth and one in the seventh.

1444
02:01:00,960 --> 02:01:08,960
The pitch to Al is a slider going outside, one ball in those strikes.

1445
02:01:08,960 --> 02:01:15,960
He runs on 12 hits for the Angels, two runs, 10 hits for the Royals.

1446
02:01:15,960 --> 02:01:18,960
Here's the Leno delivery, bouncing ball through the middle.

1447
02:01:18,960 --> 02:01:33,960
Here comes Darrell around, third to score and Perkels stops at second and now he's a great California.

1448
02:01:33,960 --> 02:01:36,960
That will bring up George Brett.

1449
02:01:36,960 --> 02:01:54,960
Now along with here the Royals are back to within two runs.

1450
02:01:54,960 --> 02:01:58,960
George tonight is one out of three, he's single his last time up in the sixth.

1451
02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:02,960
He's also struck out and bounced into a fourth play.

1452
02:02:02,960 --> 02:02:07,960
Eight to three, California, runners at first and second, one out.

1453
02:02:07,960 --> 02:02:11,960
Montague straightens up, here's the pitch.

1454
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:21,960
Missed one outside, one ball in those strikes.

1455
02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:24,960
The Angels trying to hang out and get a split in this series.

1456
02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:26,960
The Royals trying for three out of four.

1457
02:02:26,960 --> 02:02:36,960
Whoa, ball two, it's two and 0.

1458
02:02:36,960 --> 02:02:49,960
Jamie Clark at second, Hal McCray is at first, one away.

1459
02:02:49,960 --> 02:02:52,960
Montague's, set it to Bill, here he comes.

1460
02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:58,960
High drive, deep center, that goes for her, way back to the wall, he's gone.

1461
02:03:22,960 --> 02:03:51,960
George Brett, happens to run over the wall and dead center field and it is eight to six, California.

1462
02:03:51,960 --> 02:03:58,960
Jim Porgosi has gone to the round, Brett's 22nd home run of the year.

1463
02:03:58,960 --> 02:04:04,960
Jamie Quist scored ahead of him, started Hal McCray and suddenly the Royals are within two.

1464
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:08,960
Dave LaRouche, starting in from the California bullpen.

1465
02:04:08,960 --> 02:04:15,960
So the 15th change being made here in the bottom of the eighth inning and now the score, the Angels face the Royals six.

1466
02:04:15,960 --> 02:04:24,960
The Baltimore Colts have dropped place kicker Tony Linnhart, this after Linnhart was given a $10,000 a year raise last Sunday,

1467
02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:28,960
even though he missed three field goals in the Colts 13-10 loss to Cleveland.

1468
02:04:28,960 --> 02:04:33,960
The Colts signed former San Francisco and Detroit kicker Steve McMire to replace Linnhart.

1469
02:04:33,960 --> 02:04:42,960
The 37-year-old Linnhart missed three kicks from fairly short range on Sunday and that included a 28 yarder that would have tied the Browns with one second left.

1470
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:49,960
After the game, Colts owner Robert Ersay visited the rejected Linnhart and gave him the $10,000 raise for making an effort.

1471
02:04:49,960 --> 02:04:54,960
The Colts owner said that after giving the raise that he thought Linnhart would kick better for the Colts,

1472
02:04:54,960 --> 02:04:58,960
but the Navy of Vavaspera won't get that chance to prove Ersay right.

1473
02:04:58,960 --> 02:05:06,960
The Baltimore Orioles are close but not close enough to wrapping up the American League East title for the second straight night.

1474
02:05:06,960 --> 02:05:15,960
The Orioles failed to reduce the magic clinching number on Wednesday Detroit Blank Baltimore 5-0 while second place Milwaukee Christ Seattle 12-1.

1475
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:21,960
The Orioles are nine games ahead of the Brewers and the magic number remains at three going into action on Thursday.

1476
02:05:21,960 --> 02:05:28,960
Kansas City nudged to California 6-4 Wednesday and trails the Angels by two games in the American West going into play Wednesday

1477
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:33,960
and those teams are winding up their four game series with this game right here.

1478
02:05:33,960 --> 02:05:38,960
The Montreal Expos swept a double header from the New York Mets three to one in four to one but the Pirates split

1479
02:05:38,960 --> 02:05:43,960
and so Pittsburgh's lead over Montreal is now just one game.

1480
02:05:48,960 --> 02:05:56,960
Back at Royal Stadium, it was so quiet just a few moments ago and now Bedlam eight to six Angels.

1481
02:05:56,960 --> 02:06:03,960
Dave Leroche bets it left hander now pitching. Darrell Porter at the plate. Darrell a perfect night.

1482
02:06:03,960 --> 02:06:08,960
Two singles in a lot. Leroche steals. Darrell a swing and a miss on one.

1483
02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:14,960
For Dave Leroche, it's number 51. He's seven and ten with ten saves.

1484
02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:20,960
The RA is rather inflated for a relief that you're 5.62.

1485
02:06:20,960 --> 02:06:29,960
His hits to any pitch ratio is not good. 101 hits in 82 innings. 55 strikeouts, 32 walks.

1486
02:06:29,960 --> 02:06:32,960
And the kind of Darrell Owen Lund.

1487
02:06:35,960 --> 02:06:42,960
Darrell Porter in this series now is eight out of 14.

1488
02:06:42,960 --> 02:06:46,960
So the Angels just simply cannot get him out.

1489
02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:53,960
Owen Lund, Dave Leroche, brings it in. That's Wallace, going inside. Dave thought that he's gone a strike.

1490
02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:57,960
The Dick Brunnigan set no. And they got one and one.

1491
02:06:57,960 --> 02:07:04,960
A free run home run by George Brett over the wall and center. He's pulled the Royals to a pin two.

1492
02:07:04,960 --> 02:07:12,960
The pinch hitter brought in Jamie Furt coming through with back to back singles. Darrell takes a strike and it's one and two.

1493
02:07:12,960 --> 02:07:22,960
Steve Lacock will be next. The beat keeps looking into the Royal dugout to see if Whitey's going to go to a pinch hitter.

1494
02:07:22,960 --> 02:07:27,960
One and two to Darrell. Here's Leroche's pitch.

1495
02:07:27,960 --> 02:07:33,960
Wide to the left center base hitter. Over to Drickfiller to cut it off. Darrell's going to stay at first.

1496
02:07:33,960 --> 02:08:00,960
Now the trying run to the plate and Watson will back for Lacock.

1497
02:08:00,960 --> 02:08:08,960
John Lawson will back four feet Lacock. And then Amazot is coming up back of Lawson.

1498
02:08:08,960 --> 02:08:16,960
New kidding 205 with two home runs, 26 RBI.

1499
02:08:16,960 --> 02:08:31,960
Lawson is announced and out comes Jim Pragosi. He has Don Ossie throwing in the bullpen.

1500
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:40,960
And Pragosi is going to play percentage all the way. He's going to bring Don Ossie in to pitch two Lawson.

1501
02:08:40,960 --> 02:08:49,960
So Montague struck out the first man that he faced, Willie Wilson, then allowed the single to McCray in the home run to Brett.

1502
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:53,960
Dave Leroche out in front of Darrell Porter gave up the single in the left center.

1503
02:08:53,960 --> 02:08:58,960
And now it'll be Don Ossie. So the 15th change he made, the third of the inning.

1504
02:08:58,960 --> 02:09:03,960
What's the score here is Royal Stadium. The Angel Base at Royal 6th.

1505
02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:11,960
So the Kansas City Royals not rolling over on this one. They're hanging right in there after California jumped off to a big lead.

1506
02:09:11,960 --> 02:09:15,960
Let's take a look and see what's happening in that National League race in the West.

1507
02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:19,960
Cincinnati and San Diego are now in the top of the fifth inning at San Diego.

1508
02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:23,960
And the Padres are leading that game by the score of two to one.

1509
02:09:23,960 --> 02:09:29,960
Cincinnati leading Houston by two and a half games in the National League West going into action on Thursday.

1510
02:09:29,960 --> 02:09:35,960
However, Houston has scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning at the Astridone.

1511
02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:41,960
And so with Atlanta hitting in the top of the ninth inning, it's Houston seven, Atlanta one.

1512
02:09:41,960 --> 02:09:47,960
So that's it as far as that race in the National League West is concerned.

1513
02:09:47,960 --> 02:09:53,960
In the American League, Baltimore and Detroit in the high scoring game at Tiger Stadium.

1514
02:09:53,960 --> 02:10:01,960
It's the top of the ninth inning now, Baltimore leading Detroit by the score of eight to six.

1515
02:10:01,960 --> 02:10:06,960
In the National League East Montreal has scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

1516
02:10:06,960 --> 02:10:10,960
And so the New York Mets are hitting in the bottom of the ninth.

1517
02:10:10,960 --> 02:10:15,960
Montreal two in the top of the ninth. New York hitting in the bottom of the ninth, trailing two to nothing.

1518
02:10:15,960 --> 02:10:22,960
Montreal, when the first game of that double header, six to three to move ahead of Pittsburgh by one percentage point.

1519
02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:27,960
After Philadelphia beat the Pirates earlier in the day by the score of two to one.

1520
02:10:27,960 --> 02:10:34,960
So a sweep by Montreal would put the X was a half a game in front of Pittsburgh in that National League East race.

1521
02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:40,960
Back in Royal Stadium, John Ossie is now pitching for California.

1522
02:10:40,960 --> 02:10:45,960
Nettles is going to bat for Laughlin who is announced as the hitter for Laughlin.

1523
02:10:45,960 --> 02:10:48,960
John Ossie appears for the 35th time.

1524
02:10:48,960 --> 02:10:53,960
The East Knight in 10 with one save, turns on average 4.84.

1525
02:10:53,960 --> 02:10:58,960
So Nettles, the left handed batter, facing the right hander, John Ossie.

1526
02:10:58,960 --> 02:11:04,960
A-A-S-E, John Ossie who came to the Angels from the Boston Reds Rock.

1527
02:11:04,960 --> 02:11:06,960
Eight to six Angels.

1528
02:11:08,960 --> 02:11:11,960
When this inning started they led eight to two.

1529
02:11:11,960 --> 02:11:18,960
The pitch to Nettles, it's low, one ball and no strike.

1530
02:11:23,960 --> 02:11:27,960
Darrell quartered first, what a way, here's the stretch by John Ossie and the pitch.

1531
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:31,960
Didn't mean to do it, a check swing foul ball up to the left.

1532
02:11:31,960 --> 02:11:33,960
That is one and one on Jim Nettles.

1533
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:37,960
Amos Otis to follow.

1534
02:11:37,960 --> 02:11:41,960
That's the tying run at the plate.

1535
02:11:48,960 --> 02:11:52,960
The beginning for the Angels, the seven, they scored a half a dozen.

1536
02:11:52,960 --> 02:11:56,960
Their oils at four so far here in the bottom of the eighth.

1537
02:11:56,960 --> 02:12:00,960
That's four outside, two balls and one strike.

1538
02:12:00,960 --> 02:12:07,960
Nettles played it over hard this year.

1539
02:12:07,960 --> 02:12:10,960
Ball three, three and one.

1540
02:12:21,960 --> 02:12:25,960
So the count is all Jim Nettles laid out, three balls and one strike.

1541
02:12:25,960 --> 02:12:30,960
Ossie checking with Downing, in comes the pitch.

1542
02:12:30,960 --> 02:12:38,960
Hopped up, short left field, out goes the third baseman, Lancer to make the catch and just in foul territory.

1543
02:12:38,960 --> 02:12:42,960
Darrell hustles back to first and up comes Amos Otis.

1544
02:12:42,960 --> 02:12:49,960
Amos Otis, one for three tonight and in field single in the seventh.

1545
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:53,960
In comes Bobby Gritch to talk to Don Ossie.

1546
02:12:58,960 --> 02:13:03,960
Amos Otis could very well be one of the keys to the game.

1547
02:13:03,960 --> 02:13:21,960
If Ossie is successful and can get Amos Otis, the Royal's men in the ninth would have the lower part of their batting order.

1548
02:13:21,960 --> 02:13:27,960
Of course it was the lower part of the batting order that started this, but ten chitters.

1549
02:13:27,960 --> 02:13:30,960
Steve Braun and Jamie Quirk.

1550
02:13:30,960 --> 02:13:37,960
That Whitey has dipped deeply into the bench and few remain.

1551
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:41,960
Runner at first, ride through, not holding to Darrell, the pitch to Amos Otis.

1552
02:13:41,960 --> 02:13:46,960
Breaking ball, base six, center field, Darrell cornered a second baseman holding.

1553
02:13:46,960 --> 02:13:49,960
And the winning run, the potential winning run, comes to the play.

1554
02:13:49,960 --> 02:13:52,960
The tying runs are now on the base pass.

1555
02:13:52,960 --> 02:14:02,960
The only man who hasn't batted in this inning comes to the play, Al Collins.

1556
02:14:09,960 --> 02:14:13,960
Al Collins coming up, Al is over three.

1557
02:14:13,960 --> 02:14:23,960
That is the first and second two down.

1558
02:14:33,960 --> 02:14:35,960
Two on, two out.

1559
02:14:35,960 --> 02:14:37,960
We are in the bottom of the eighth.

1560
02:14:37,960 --> 02:14:40,960
The lead runner to play, Don Ossie Deals.

1561
02:14:40,960 --> 02:14:45,960
Ground ball to the second baseman grip, he's got it over the first in time.

1562
02:14:45,960 --> 02:14:49,960
Ossie made a pretty good pitch, he had Collins side up with the pitch up and in.

1563
02:14:49,960 --> 02:14:52,960
But the Royals come up with four, they're back in it.

1564
02:14:52,960 --> 02:14:56,960
Four runs on six hits.

1565
02:14:56,960 --> 02:14:59,960
But two men left, and after eight exciting innings.

1566
02:14:59,960 --> 02:15:02,960
It's the Angels eight and the Royals six.

1567
02:15:02,960 --> 02:15:09,960
The National Basketball Association has appealed Wednesday's ruling by a federal court judge

1568
02:15:09,960 --> 02:15:13,960
that struck down a compensation award made last year by Commissioner Lawrence O'Brien.

1569
02:15:13,960 --> 02:15:16,960
A district court judge called excessive the compensation.

1570
02:15:16,960 --> 02:15:22,960
The New York Knicks were ordered to give the Seattle SuperSonics for the Knicks signing of Senator Marvin Webster.

1571
02:15:22,960 --> 02:15:27,960
And O'Brien says even in the event an altered compensation award must be determined,

1572
02:15:27,960 --> 02:15:32,960
he will not give the contracts of Seattle forward Lonnie Shelton and guard Vinnie Johnson to the Knicks.

1573
02:15:32,960 --> 02:15:38,960
New York has been ordered to give Shelton $450,000 at a draft pick that turned out to be Johnson.

1574
02:15:38,960 --> 02:15:42,960
As compensation to Seattle for that Webster signing.

1575
02:15:42,960 --> 02:15:48,960
Meanwhile, the head of the NBA Players Association says he anticipates a legal fight over another compensation case.

1576
02:15:48,960 --> 02:15:52,960
This one being between the San Diego Clippers and the Portland Trailblazers.

1577
02:15:52,960 --> 02:16:00,960
Earlier this week, the Clippers were ordered to give two players a future draft pick and either guard Randy Smith or cash for another draft choice to Portland.

1578
02:16:00,960 --> 02:16:05,960
This would be the compensation for San Diego signing of former Blazers center Bill Walton.

1579
02:16:05,960 --> 02:16:16,960
Blazers Association Chief Larry Fleischer says the ruling in the Webster case makes it clear to him that the compensation in the Walton case is also excessive.

1580
02:16:16,960 --> 02:16:25,960
Boston Report on the Groves says the controversial executive director of the National Hockey League Players Association has agreed to step down from this job in 1982.

1581
02:16:25,960 --> 02:16:34,960
The report says Alan Eagleton has decided to refuse a request from the association that concentrated solely on the association matters.

1582
02:16:34,960 --> 02:16:44,960
We go to the night inning 8-6 in favor of California.

1583
02:16:44,960 --> 02:16:47,960
Eight runs, twelve hits and no errors for the Angels.

1584
02:16:47,960 --> 02:16:52,960
The Royals have six runs on fourteen hits. The Royals have two more hits than the Angels.

1585
02:16:52,960 --> 02:16:55,960
And the Royals have made the only error of the ballgame.

1586
02:16:55,960 --> 02:17:00,960
That amazing Montreal team has come up with two runs in the top of the night inning.

1587
02:17:00,960 --> 02:17:04,960
The Rocks are now batting in the bottom of the night trailing the Expos 2-0.

1588
02:17:04,960 --> 02:17:08,960
Montreal won the first game 6-3 that Phillies beat the Pirates.

1589
02:17:08,960 --> 02:17:12,960
And if Montreal wins, they're back in first in that National League East.

1590
02:17:12,960 --> 02:17:18,960
By a half game. Don Baylor up there, Dan Quisenberry's pitch. It's a strike going on.

1591
02:17:18,960 --> 02:17:28,960
Don Baylor, a big man for the Angels tonight. A single home run, three RBI's, these two for four.

1592
02:17:28,960 --> 02:17:39,960
So now the Angels will try to have their lead outside one ball and one strike.

1593
02:17:39,960 --> 02:17:49,960
Jim Meddles is now at first base for the Royals. Jamie Quirk is at shortstop. Jerry Terrell is at second base.

1594
02:17:49,960 --> 02:18:02,960
Bouncing ball, bread at third. It's a fair ball. Sets himself. The throw to first is inside. Don Baylor is tired. What a way.

1595
02:18:02,960 --> 02:18:18,960
That brings up Rod Caru. Rod had double in three official trips. He was walked intentionally and scored in the seventh.

1596
02:18:18,960 --> 02:18:27,960
Rod setting himself at the plate. Brian Downing will follow.

1597
02:18:27,960 --> 02:18:33,960
Bouncing ball through the middle. Quirk to his left can't get it if he sits for Caru.

1598
02:18:33,960 --> 02:18:44,960
And here's Downing who hit the three run home run in the seventh inning that is now the difference in this ball game.

1599
02:18:44,960 --> 02:18:54,960
13 Angel hits.

1600
02:18:54,960 --> 02:19:06,960
Al Robosky goes to work on him in the Royal Bullfin. Downing in addition to his three run home run is walked, followed out and fly to left.

1601
02:19:06,960 --> 02:19:24,960
Rod Caru at 17 stolen bases has a pretty good lead at first. The pitch to Downing is outside one ball and no strikes.

1602
02:19:24,960 --> 02:19:33,960
The scheduled hitters in the Royal Ninth will be Terrell, Quirk and Wilson. And then back of that three, some McCray and Brett.

1603
02:19:33,960 --> 02:19:41,960
Toss over to first. Back in time is Rod Caru.

1604
02:19:41,960 --> 02:20:01,960
We're in the ninth, eighth, sixth, California. There's the stretch and the fifth. Miss the inside corner. Two balls and no strikes.

1605
02:20:01,960 --> 02:20:10,960
The Angel striving to split this four game series. The Royal's badly needing three out of four.

1606
02:20:10,960 --> 02:20:20,960
And it's coming down to the final inning. Rod Caru backs safe plays. Dan Quiszenberry fires over to Middles.

1607
02:20:20,960 --> 02:20:30,960
Two balls and no strikes on Brian Downing. Right handed batter waiting. Quiszenberry checking on the runner.

1608
02:20:30,960 --> 02:20:38,960
The ball to the left to high chopper Brett Sharpsing. Scoops it up on the short half and throws. He's got it all in a play.

1609
02:20:38,960 --> 02:20:51,960
Sensational play by George Cliff. Sharpsing's home play as part of the duty had to pick up a short hop on the dead run and then throw across his body accurately and with something on it.

1610
02:20:51,960 --> 02:21:07,960
He did all of the above to get down. On the play, Caru to second and here is Grits. Bob is one for four, a fifth inning single.

1611
02:21:07,960 --> 02:21:27,960
So two out of the top of the ninth, eight to six Angels. Quiszenberry deals and Grits after an off-speed pitch missed, going one.

1612
02:21:27,960 --> 02:21:41,960
The Angels you can rest assured would dearly love to have that additional run. Rod Caru at second two down, no balls and one strike on Bobby Grits.

1613
02:21:41,960 --> 02:22:02,960
The stretch and the pitch. Lowering outside. One ball and one strike.

1614
02:22:02,960 --> 02:22:18,960
San Diego winning in San Diego against Cincinnati and Houston is one of its games. The one one fifth to Grits is hit towards the right field corner, Al Collins towards the corner and Al up against the wall can't make the play.

1615
02:22:18,960 --> 02:22:35,960
He trapped it against the wall and run scores and now they're saying home run. Finally they get the signal and the Royals are going to argue. Al and put up against the wall. It appears that the ball, hear them off the very top of the wall but apparently it went into the seats and then came out.

1616
02:22:35,960 --> 02:22:55,960
Right in the corner and Whitey Herzog is going to go out and argue. They're going to rule with a home run. Dan Quiszenberry is talking to the play-dumpire. Whitey Herzog wants to ask Al Collins about it and we have a monitor here.

1617
02:22:55,960 --> 02:23:13,960
We can check it out if the angle is good but it's not going to be the best angle. Collins coming right into the corner and then right at the 330 foot side up he goes and it appears that the ball hit off that grating at the top of the wall.

1618
02:23:13,960 --> 02:23:29,960
Now that's inconclusive because the instant replay can sometimes deceive you a little bit and as I said the angle isn't all that good. But what has happened, the umpire has ruled the home run.

1619
02:23:29,960 --> 02:23:45,960
I saw Collins go up and then the ball came off what appeared to be the top of the wall or the steel grating. The umpire said home run and that's what it will be for Bobby Gritch is 28th.

1620
02:23:45,960 --> 02:24:05,960
That makes it 10-6 in favor of California. Gritch as he rounded first base was signaling home run. Whitey is really after the first base umpire Jim Heaven.

1621
02:24:05,960 --> 02:24:19,960
Bobby Gritt as in a two run home run. The pitch was out of way for him and he went with the pitch and hit that slice and drive down the right field line.

1622
02:24:19,960 --> 02:24:37,960
The ball just kept tearing and tearing. Collins going to the corner and Hal thought that he had to play all the way. Got right to the corner. Leaps high in the air. You could see the ball come down. So Gritch has home run.

1623
02:24:37,960 --> 02:24:55,960
The batter will be Larry Harlow who's three out of four, a couple of singles. He tripled back in the third and scored a run.

1624
02:24:55,960 --> 02:25:13,960
So it's a spin at home run right down into the right field corner for Bobby Gritch and the angels have a four run lead and here's Larry Harlow. Houston's BD Atlanta 7-1 forced the win. Boggs the loss. 22,000 in Houston.

1625
02:25:13,960 --> 02:25:29,960
And Montreal did win. Two to nothing. They won a double header while the pirates lost. Some raced in the nice league heat. A strike to Harlow 0-1.

1626
02:25:29,960 --> 02:25:45,960
Here's the 0-1 pitch. Off-speed and flung and missed 0-2. Fred you had a chance to go over and check one of the other monitors. It's still inconclusive. I didn't get to see the play but I asked. They said they froze it. They said the ball hit the top of the fence.

1627
02:25:45,960 --> 02:25:55,960
Well it's the top of the fence that comes back. It's not a home run. If a fan hits it, it's in the seats that comes back. The 0-2 pitch is low and inside.

1628
02:25:55,960 --> 02:26:07,960
The only question in my mind is the fact that the ball did not come off the wall as quickly as you would think it would. I thought the only question that I had looked like maybe a fan got a hand on it.

1629
02:26:07,960 --> 02:26:17,960
But now did he reach over the railing? You couldn't see that either. A little bit inside, Quisimiery thought that was strike three. Two balls and two strikes on Larry Harlow.

1630
02:26:17,960 --> 02:26:29,960
Sadeon clearlessly unbiased. There was a point in the replay where it did look like the ball had gotten over the rail. It was so close that it was really difficult to tell from the camera angle.

1631
02:26:29,960 --> 02:26:41,960
The 2-2 pitch found foul over toward the Royal dugout. Say what? It's one of those where you can look at the replay and depending on which way you want it to go, you could make a case for yourself really.

1632
02:26:41,960 --> 02:26:54,960
And you talk about the angle of the camera. As good a perch as we have at Royal Stadium. The extreme corners right at the foul pole. Very, very difficult for us to see. That's the toughest point in the ballpark.

1633
02:26:54,960 --> 02:27:04,960
Here's the 2-2 pitch. They sit right field for Larry Harlow. So the Angels have 15 hits. Jim Henderson the shortstop coming up.

1634
02:27:04,960 --> 02:27:30,960
Harlow's had quite a nice three singles and a triple. Jim Henderson up there. He is 0-2 in the ball game. 10-6 California top of the night.

1635
02:27:30,960 --> 02:27:41,960
Blind shot left field. Willie Wilson will have to play it in one half. Now he falls down and the ball rolls away from him. They're going to try to score Harlow. Willie up with the ball. And he didn't see the man coming to the plate and Harlow's going to score.

1636
02:27:41,960 --> 02:27:53,960
Well that's a shame. Willie had a shot at him because when Wilson picked up the ball, Harlow was just rounding third and Willie was rather shallow and left. But when he came up, he looked at second base.

1637
02:27:53,960 --> 02:28:07,960
And Bobby Knapp, the coach at third, waving Harlow in all the way. Willie trying for the shoestring catch and he blocked the ball with his chest but then fell down and the ball rolled in front of him back toward the infield.

1638
02:28:07,960 --> 02:28:20,960
Outcome flight of Herzog and that's going to be all for Dan Quarzenberry. So it is now 11-6. The Royals are making the 15th change here in the top of the night. With the score, the Angels 11. The Royals 6.

1639
02:28:20,960 --> 02:28:28,960
National League Supervisor of Umpires, Blake Cullen, has denied charges of discrimination against members of the Major League Umpires Association.

1640
02:28:28,960 --> 02:28:45,960
The charges were filed with the National Labor Relations Board by the Umpires Association. The association charges that its umpires were discriminated against in the areas of guaranteed salaries, advancement for minor league umpires who honored the strike, vacation time, evaluation and expense money.

1641
02:28:45,960 --> 02:28:55,960
Attorney Phillips says the umpires who crossed the pick of lines and were retained by the National League were rewarded with three-year contracts while regular umps have never gotten better than a one-year deal.

1642
02:28:55,960 --> 02:29:03,960
Phillips also charges that three non-union umps in the National League were given an extra week of vacation time and flown home at league expense.

1643
02:29:03,960 --> 02:29:16,960
The Umpires Association attorney says the American League has been guilty of some of the same discriminatory practices, but Phillips adds that the pattern of conduct has not continued throughout the season.

1644
02:29:16,960 --> 02:29:27,960
Hot Hitter won the $226,000 Little Brown Jug Pace in Delaware, Ohio, the three-year-old Edge Tiawana taxing a race off on Thursday afternoon.

1645
02:29:27,960 --> 02:29:46,960
Irvay Theon guided Hot Hitter over the mile in a minute 55 and three-fifths seconds at the tenth straight win for the three-year-old Tater whose 1979 earnings of nearly $717,000 give him the best single season total in harness racing history.

1646
02:29:46,960 --> 02:29:54,960
Hot Hitter won the second heat of the judge while Tiawana Taxi took the first.

1647
02:29:54,960 --> 02:30:04,960
Caleb Aske now pitching for the Royals. Now taking his warm-up shots. Let's pause right here for station identification. This is the Kansas City Royals Radio Network.

1648
02:30:04,960 --> 02:30:15,960
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

1649
02:30:15,960 --> 02:30:25,960
And any math years along with Fred White and producer engineer Ed Shepard at Royal Stadium, 11 to 6th California, the Angels a 6 run 7, but now 3 here in the top of the ninth.

1650
02:30:25,960 --> 02:30:32,960
After the Royals fought back to within two runs, with four runs of their own in the bottom of the eighth.

1651
02:30:32,960 --> 02:30:39,960
Runner at second base, Rick Miller the Hitter and he takes the ball, one ball and no strike. Rick has two hits tonight, he's 2 out of 5.

1652
02:30:39,960 --> 02:30:51,960
The particulars on the Montreal double win over the Mets, second game 2-0. Scott Sanderson the winner, 9-7. Montreal got their two runs in the ninth.

1653
02:30:51,960 --> 02:30:58,960
Two high, two balls and no strikes. Connie Landsford will be next.

1654
02:30:58,960 --> 02:31:06,960
11 runs on 16 hits for the Angels, 6 runs on 14 hits for the Royals.

1655
02:31:06,960 --> 02:31:24,960
Left hander against left hander, Robotsky to Miller, followed back to the screen. Rick had a pretty good cut to count 2 and 1.

1656
02:31:24,960 --> 02:31:35,960
Robotsky has posted wins in three of his last seven outings. He has 12 strikeouts in his last 14 and 2-3.

1657
02:31:35,960 --> 02:31:46,960
Now his pitch well this month. Here's the 2-1 delivery. Just missed inside with a fast ball, 3 and 1.

1658
02:31:46,960 --> 02:31:56,960
And a right handed batter, Connie Landsford will be next.

1659
02:31:56,960 --> 02:32:07,960
Now that Jim Fragoci at this very moment is hopeful of about three or four more runs. The 3-1 pitch, he walked him.

1660
02:32:07,960 --> 02:32:24,960
But now Connie Landsford comes up, he's 1 for 5 and 7th inning single.

1661
02:32:24,960 --> 02:32:34,960
The credit just occurred to me, not that it's taken 8-1.5 innings to come to life, but it's so true. Landsford takes side.

1662
02:32:34,960 --> 02:32:41,960
This game illustrates perfectly the strengths and weaknesses of these two teams.

1663
02:32:41,960 --> 02:32:46,960
It does. It's the season in microscopic form really for both of them then.

1664
02:32:46,960 --> 02:32:55,960
Power, royal speed, both at inconsistencies.

1665
02:32:55,960 --> 02:33:04,960
2-1, 2-out. The 1-0 pitch to Landsford is up all 2-0. So I'm having trouble finding home plate.

1666
02:33:04,960 --> 02:33:17,960
I'll bet you right now, if Al Nibosky was to stop this thing right here at the Angels, I have a 5-1 late at the bottom of the night. I'll bet you if you could talk to an Angel person, they would all say we're afraid it may not be over yet.

1667
02:33:17,960 --> 02:33:21,960
Absolutely. After what's happened to them the last couple of months.

1668
02:33:21,960 --> 02:33:36,960
Oh, let's say since the all-star break. How many nightmares has Jim Fragosi gone through? Recurring dreams about 7th, 8th and 9th innings since the all-star break.

1669
02:33:36,960 --> 02:33:55,960
Here's the 2-0 pitch to Landsford. Followed back to the screen, he had a good set of the fast ball 2-1. 11-6, California in the night.

1670
02:33:55,960 --> 02:34:13,960
Robotsky ready? Here's the 2-1 pitch. Followed ball back to the screen 2-2 now. Ralph Gar standing in the undead circle, Landsford is the 8th Angel to come to the plate.

1671
02:34:13,960 --> 02:34:42,960
Two balls, two strikes with two out and two out. Robotsky nodding yes to Porter. And now the 2-2 pitch to Lansford. High ball three and now the Angels have the additional offense of advantage of having the runners on the move.

1672
02:34:42,960 --> 02:34:57,960
Anderson out of second, Rick Miller the runner at first. They both move pretty well so does the hitter, Landsford. The 3-2 pitch. Very high ball four.

1673
02:34:57,960 --> 02:35:13,960
Here's the 2-1 pitch to Robotsky. Here's Gar, the nice man to come to the plate. Ralph is one out of five, singled in the fourth. Eddie Rodriguez throwing in the bullpen.

1674
02:35:13,960 --> 02:35:35,960
Maces loaded two out, 11-6, California. The stretch and the pitch. Inside and high, one ball no strikes, that comes Galen Cisco.

1675
02:35:35,960 --> 02:35:54,960
Now Darryl Porter is going to join Galen Cisco on the mound. The Angels had apparently broken this game open with six in the seventh but the Royals came storming back with four in the eighth.

1676
02:35:54,960 --> 02:36:16,960
And now the Angels have scored three and have three out here on the top of the ninth. One and oh the count on Gar. Up and in two and oh.

1677
02:36:16,960 --> 02:36:28,960
Two balls and no strikes on Ralph Gar. Yesterday he was a member of the White Shots. Today the Angels. The 2-0 pitch. There's the strike 2-1.

1678
02:36:28,960 --> 02:36:43,960
Don Baylor kneeling in the on-deck circle. 2-1 now leading in to Reed Darryl Porter and now the stretch. And in comes the 2-1.

1679
02:36:43,960 --> 02:37:05,960
How a ball out of play on the third base side. That makes the count. Two balls and two strikes.

1680
02:37:05,960 --> 02:37:16,960
Anderson a third. Miller a second. Lansford a first with two down. Two balls, two strikes on Ralph Gar.

1681
02:37:16,960 --> 02:37:26,960
Bobbski taking too much time. Gar stepped up.

1682
02:37:26,960 --> 02:37:29,960
Here we go. Two and two. Here's the pitch.

1683
02:37:29,960 --> 02:37:40,960
Five ball left center field. Willie Wilson calling for it. And that ends the inning. The Angels scored three times.

1684
02:37:40,960 --> 02:37:48,960
There were four hits. Two walks and three men left. They stranded ten. We go to the bottom of the ninth. The Angels 11. They're oil six.

1685
02:37:48,960 --> 02:38:01,960
Scott Sanderson kept the Montreal Expos. And it expressed roaring at full speed tonight by pitching a seven hitter at the second game. This strike a 2-0 victory. They completed a double header sweep of the New York Mets.

1686
02:38:01,960 --> 02:38:15,960
The Expos have moved a half a game ahead of Pittsburgh in the first place in the National League East. Won the opener six to three when Jerry White, a late ending replacement for Ellis Valentine, blasted a solo home run to trigger a four run eight setting.

1687
02:38:15,960 --> 02:38:27,960
Sanderson matched eight scoreless innings with Mets rookie Mike Scott before the Expos broke through with a pair of runs in the ninth inning. Scott, who had faced a minimum of 11 batters through three and two third innings, got into trouble in the ninth inning.

1688
02:38:27,960 --> 02:38:40,960
Well, here we go. Bottom of the ninth inning. 11 to six Angels. Clint Hurdle comes out to bat four terrels. Don Ossie's fifth. Here's a strike going one. Clint hitting two 25 with three homers and 27 RBI's.

1689
02:38:40,960 --> 02:38:53,960
Left handed batter, the line by Don Ossie and the pitch. Kerbal lined into center field. Miller coming in. He's there to make the catch and there's one away.

1690
02:38:53,960 --> 02:39:14,960
That brings up Jamie Quirk. Jimmy has a pitch hitter back in the eighth inning single. Jamie single. Got his average over the 300 mark. He's now a 304 hitter.

1691
02:39:14,960 --> 02:39:39,960
Mace is empty one out. Bottom of the ninth inning. 11 to six California. Kerk takes off stride. I'll confident are the Angels while they have activity in the bullpen. One ball and no strike.

1692
02:39:39,960 --> 02:39:49,960
The right hander throwing is marked clear.

1693
02:39:49,960 --> 02:40:11,960
Line drive to the shortstop. Well, Jamie hit the ball hard and a lying shot right at the shortstop. Here's Willie. Willie one out of four in the ball game.

1694
02:40:11,960 --> 02:40:21,960
The Royals down to their final out. 11 to six Angels bouncing ball to the shortstop Anderson Big Hop. On the first the ball game is over.

1695
02:40:21,960 --> 02:40:35,960
So the Angels get what they came in to down to get. That was a split in the series. And the final score in a wild and woolly ball game here tonight. The Angels 11, the Royals six and we'll be back right after this.

1696
02:40:35,960 --> 02:40:56,960
The California Angels with that victory now have put some space between themselves and Kansas City. It's now a three game California lead in the American League West. California has now won 83 and lost 70 while Kansas City drops to 80 and 73 and is three games out of first place.

1697
02:40:56,960 --> 02:41:16,960
Milwaukee is not scheduled so the I should say Minnesota is not as we checked the schedule here for Thursday Minnesota losing its ball game to New York. And so let's reevaluate things here as far as things are concerned in the American League West Division.

1698
02:41:16,960 --> 02:41:35,960
It was Minnesota beating the New York Yankees by a score of three to one. So Minnesota will remain four games behind California in the American League West Division is Milwaukee and the East was not scheduled in Baltimore playing its baseball game right now with Detroit.

1699
02:41:35,960 --> 02:41:48,960
And that last word that ball game was in the top of the ninth with Baltimore leading by the score of eight to seven. We'll take a quick check of the tape and see if anything more has come in on that ball game. It has we do have the final score.

1700
02:41:48,960 --> 02:42:08,960
Baltimore winning it by the score of eight to seven. So that's the final score at Detroit Baltimore eight Detroit seven. So that means that Baltimore has now won its 99 game of the season. Now these Milwaukee by nine and a half and more importantly the Orioles have reduced their magic number for quenching the American League East to two games.

1701
02:42:08,960 --> 02:42:26,960
The 11 to six the final score here tonight a ball game that was wild and woolly the angels took a one nothing lead in the second a two nothing lead in the third the Royals got two in the third to tie it and then nothing but zeroes until the angels came up with a half a dozen in the top of the seven.

1702
02:42:26,960 --> 02:42:42,960
And it appears that they had salted this game away but the Royals came roaring back they scored four in the eighth inning off the bench came Steve Braun and Jamie Quirk the single Hal McCrae singled in her run and then George Brett and ordered a home run over the wall and did center field.

1703
02:42:42,960 --> 02:43:05,960
And you had the feeling at that point that the Royals had everything going their way all the momentum the crowd was in a frenzy but the angels came back and scored three in the top of the night. Don Aussie in relief of Dave LaRose you after Brett singled yielded the single to Darrell Porter and then Aussie got nettles on a pop foul to the third baseman.

1704
02:43:05,960 --> 02:43:16,960
I would have singled the Cowan's grounded out and that was probably one of the big pitches of the night as Aussie threw a fast ball up and in Al was trying to tomahawk it in the right field to hit a ground wall to second base.

1705
02:43:16,960 --> 02:43:22,960
And then we had the disputed Bobby Gritch home run down the right field line in the ninth inning.

1706
02:43:22,960 --> 02:43:40,960
The aborted squeeze plays the Royals tried in the fifth which was a big play in the game and clutch hits by the California angels Don Baylor with that single to center driving in two runs the three run homer by Downing and the single by Connie Lansford that we talked about earlier that single put the angels out in front three to two.

1707
02:43:40,960 --> 02:43:52,960
So you look back on this game for a better our zillion turning points. You can talk about this game from now until morning but one thing will change and that's the final score.

1708
02:44:10,960 --> 02:44:12,960
