sponsored by TimberTech decking and railing everything would should be visit Timber tech.com coming up we'll hear from Kyle Hendricks and Craig Council but first our conversation with coup sponsored by Hatfield put pork on your fork join now by Ron cumer and Kum boy last night the Cubs on the wrong end of a high-scoring affair here in Cleveland yeah one of those ball games where you know you you're one swing of the bat either way you know you can win you can lose and and you always get a little disappointed with showd on the mound when you don't win the ball game he's one of those guys this season in the league that you look at his record when he pitches the team wins um and last night he gave up a couple long ones couple pitches in the middle of the plate cost him but it was one of those games where one swing either way um change the game and you know Cleveland got it the B of the G time now for the keys to tonight's game sponsored by heat and frost insulators and the Illinois Regional insulation contractors visit Local 17 insulators.org today so right-hander Javier Assad starts for the Cubs CB while the Guardians go with Lefty Matthew Boyd who makes his season debut yeah for Boyd he's coming off you know rehab and it's been a while he you know his last outing in the minor leagues was somewhere around that 70 pitch mark so he's ready to pitch pitch but it's been a while I would be very apprehensive as a hitter for the Cubs today swinging early you really want to see what he's featuring before you get overly aggressive here especially that first go around through the lineup for Javi today you know his last few outings the pitch count has cost him it's it's risen quickly he's been unable to put some guys away and he's been pitching around the edges of the zone and not on the attack as much as we saw him early hopefully today he can have good command of that SE Z and if he does he will be good because these guys have not seen him much so um that's the big key for him is that two scene fastball and command of that two seamer and now it's time for the Triple Play prop picks brought to you by bmgm the sports book that was born in Vegas download

in our Cubs conversation no trip to Progressive Field in Cleveland will ever be an ordinary one to especially for Kyle Hendricks who remains the last player on the Cub's roster to be a part of the 2016 championship team we've been back before so that's helped you know what I mean but it always just brings back awesome memories and maybe the only player here but there's still some staff hanging around so there's about five or six staff members that you know were able to walk in here and just talk about some of the stories and the memories man it's pretty cool to be honest with you but while we take all that in obviously on the other hand we know we're here for a reason and every game means so much this season right now when you think about all the Great Moments in your career the fact that you were tapped to start game seven of the World Series with everything on the line for this franchise can you even process that even today no I think I don't think I can still honestly the only way I talk about it is just I'm so grateful and blessed to just have that opportunity like you said it so many things have to go right and so many things have to line up just to be given the ball in that moment so thankful that for Joe and rest the front office for everybody believing in me giving me the ball in that moment alone but then also yeah just how it lined up to be able to pitch in game seven like you said for the Chicago Cubs everything that had happened we we knew the history we knew the tradition we obviously weren't here for all of it so just what it meant for the you know plan for something bigger than yourself all the Cubs fans out there across the world and what it meant we were well aware of that and that's what we were doing it for and just to be able to come through and have all those positive memories now is just amazing I never asked you this during the rain delay where were you I was with the team for sure I was I was sticking in The Dugout I was up here in the clubhouse and then yeah the rain delay happened and I was I was in there in the in the wait room you know I heard the heard the call being made we had to go find a couple guys that didn't hear it you know I think some people have heard that side of the story but yeah I was right there in the middle and just soaking it all in man I was I was a nervous wreck to be honest with you in the game I was great I felt fine that was baseball that was normal stuff but soon as I was out I was nervous wreck it was almost being like a fan out there so yeah I was just so it all in man just rooting as hard as I could for for the guys and yeah the rain delay was a big moment obviously with Jay and the rest of the guys just coming together quick little message and to go out and watch the guys go take care of business put up a couple runs close the door there in the 10th uh just an unbelievable ending did you know at the time when J ha was talking like something special is brewing here oh 100% I think we we had felt it the whole way you know we had so many good veteran leaders on that team that it really helped the young guys keep the perspective we know what we were fighting for we know what we were playing for and yeah so when he pulled us together there it was just a calming moment where he said look you know we're not losing the game it's just a tie game it felt like we had lost it already in a way you know so just to put those words out there realize it's a tie ball game how many games have we won this year you know it's all in our control still and to do it for the guy next to you we've come this far on this journey we only have a little bit left you know let's go finish the job so just an unbelievable message at the time you you guys everyone associated with the Cubs thought that this was just the first of many looking back at it what's the lesson yeah you know it is so hard to win in this game that's the number one thing we had such a good team and so much talent and we were able to make a few runs there but yeah unfortunately we weren't able to ever get back and yeah we can always look back on that but to finish the goal and at least get one go all the way to the end win the last game of the season like Joe would talk about um it's just so hard to do in this game and the longer you're around you realize that so just so special that at least we got that done um and could provide that for Cubs fans and now it's time for the next group it's time for the next group start looking forward to the future and do it all over again well said Kyle thank you so much of course z always fun to look back with Kyle Hendricks when it comes to that 2016 Championship that was won here in Cleveland the Blue Jays coming to town for three game set starting Friday

hits his first home run in nearly a month wind or no wind mooki feels good about that swing and that is the 50th Big League game Uki bets has set a tone with a home [Music] run it's a quick 02 that one didn't there comes Yelich to the plate and Yelich is safe at home how does he throw the ball back to the pitcher from a knee he looks up I mean a great move by weathers just a bare handed and throw it back but as a lefty the first thing you need to do is be looking over at third base and moving that direction just in case but honestly that hardly ever [Music] happens Corbin Fly ball right field it's gone it's gone and they walk it off they were down 6 nothing and they win it 9 to8 his first ever walk off home run wow it doesn't get any better than this Corvin Carol of all guys he gets a split finger up in the zone and hammers it out of here there's there's like a lot of season like the roller coaster still got sorry the roller coaster still got a lot of up and down to to go for the season um that's just that's that's what's got to happen still there's going there's ups and downs for still to happen um you know whether it be on a nightly basis on a series basis that's how that's how baseball Seasons work so um I think this group is got their head down and focused on trying to play good trying to get better um trying to win a baseball game um and I don't think that's changed at any point um I think this group is pretty good at that um the the outside noise is you know is it's it's kind of what's on the field and what my job is what my job is within the group and and to win a baseball game um and that that roller coaster is going to go up and down because it's a baseball season pass the trade deadline so we have to find our next check yeah no I mean I I I I just think where there's like we the no matter kind of the next there there's still a lot to go you know haven't reached that that point yet 40 games is a lot of a lot of results especially with that tight yeah a lot of there's a lot of [Music] results but you guys are generally fast to this it's your job to be fast to it it's your job to be early to it anticipating right it's the kind way to put you made a couple like just kind of comments like like how you at the Lincoln Park Zoo or driving past Cemetery the other night like has this season felt any different to you like processing it of how the frustrations or the surprises or is it kind of what you're saying like this is 162 this happened you don't know exactly what's going to happen but there's going to be these dips yeah I mean I yeah I think that's that is you um like you you don't get to pick how it goes and and you have to be ready for kind of everything and you can't get thrown off your game like players or you can't throwing off

bags resist rips tears and leaks strength that's anything but ordinary Hefty Hefty Hefty the Indians are on the field defensively the Indian I say the Indians because they were the Indians I was just reminiscing about the World Series they were the Indians back in 2016 when the Cubs won game seven right here but they have changed their name to the Guardians I knew that would happen at least once R during the three- game series and let's hope it's only once I've been doing it for yeah a couple years it is a tough one when you look down there and you see Indians yeah just do yeah that's right the uniform descriptions let's take a look at those Cleveland wearing their home with bright red shirts they've got white trousers and I wish one of them would turn around so I could see the color of the numbers on their backs I'm sure it'll happen between now and say the fifth inning so I will get that to you a bit later on they have the two-tone caps navy blue on top with the red bills and the Guardians are on the field defensively the Cubs occupy the first base Dugout gray shirts and trousers red numbers on their backs dark blue hats and helmets blue sleeves and socks and a variety of shoe colors uniform descriptions sponsored by Benjamin Moore transform your Clubhouse into a Cubs house with Cubbies blue Wrigley Field Green or Marquee Red official paint of the Chicago Cubs and I can tell you that the Guardians numbers are either black or dark blue and I'll try to focus in even more it's a real deep navy blue or black Ron says navy blue I'll go with that we are ready for baseball Ian hap steps in had a big game last night on his 30th birthday one for two with a homer he scored three times and drove in a pair Matthew Boyd the big left-hander fires and the first pitch is outside and away we go and Ron if you were in that Cubs lineup and by the way in this beautiful weather you probably wouldn't mind putting on a uniform and having four or five at bats on a night like this ha pops it up foul off to the right and out of play but what would be your plan against Matthew Boyd well early in this ball game I would want to see exactly what he's doing and what his velocity is what his breaking pitches are doing and does he have command he threw very well in his minor league outings but those are minor league outings and you know velocity somewhere between 90 92 mph change up uh breaking ball more of a curve ball app swings and misses and the count now one and two we were watching him earlier today play catch and sometimes if a guy's you know still a little banged up you can tell by how hard he's throwing the ball just in Long Toss his arm is fine he was firing the ball across the ENT entire Outfield so he his arm feels good the onew to Ian hap he'll take down low and inside void a big left-hander 63 220 lb born and still lives in the great state of Washington and the two two to half swing and a miss on a change of pace half out in front down he goes one away no score just underway the batter is ESO paradus just in in watching Boyd play catch and throw down in the bullpen from a distance right away you knew he was pretty comfortable with the change up cuz he was throwing them even on flat ground and he seemed to have a really good feel of it that last pitch the in half was a very good change up isak paradus hitting second in the order tonight he was 0 for two in the series opener third baseman Ramirez guards the line and plays deep at third and the pitch on the way it's in there for a strike and we pointed out you mentioned it a couple of times Ron I remember both the shortstop and the third baseman for the Guardians play as close to the third Baseline as any tandem you'll ever see here comes the 1-1 pitch to paradus and he'll take inside ball two and I'm just really not sure why and they did that last night Ramirez actually looks like he's almost guarding the line like it's the eighth or ninth inning yeah with a one-run lead change up is in for a strike with there be such a thing as playing too close to the line and not able to cover the ground to your left which is necessary I I think that's what they're doing right now I just don't understand why a routine ground ball is short is going to be a base hit right now if you hit it you know just to the left of straightway short stop I I don't understand why you would do that the big left-hander mat Boyd comes back to paradus swinging a smash foul past third Willie Harris Cubs third base coach Mike Napoli in the box at first Mike played for this Cleveland ball club for the Indians in the world series of 2016 against the Cubs here's a drive toward right shallow coming in Noel has to play it on a bounce John Kenzie Noel had to play that ball on a bounce it's a bloop single for paradus and let's see if that leads to bigger and better things nice little breaking ball little back door breaking ball parus doesn't hit it all that well but just kind of dumps it in a short right field for a base hit Cubs first hit of the ball game Suzuki had a couple of hits last night his average at 269 Matthew Boyd delivers seya takes a strike again Alonso Marquez is calling balls and Strikes mention Boyd is from Washington born in the town of Mercer Island Washington now the strike one pitch on the way SE takes another pitch off speed and in the strike zone 0 and2 makes his home in a town that is almost kind of fun to say samamish samamish Washington you have kind of a quick physical look on your face Ron here comes the pitch from Matthew Boyd and a sidearm pickoff throw almost a B I would say I absolutely agree I think that one probably caught Austin Jones the first base umpire off guard a little bit and that was borderline we see see it again in the Monitor and that's that's really close to being a block and the next pitch chop foul there's there's a rule in the rule book it's not enforced very dramatically by the umpires it says if you're going to make a pickoff throw to first your step has to be more toward first than it is toward the plate and that's that's almost never called no and you see where his foot Mark is on the mound that definitely was not the case here's the pitch to Suzuki a little Looper shallow Center racing in is Brennan makes the running catch getting back to First is paradus two down top of the first no score Cody Bellinger coming up now the one thing when you start talking about teams and why they're doing well well this we saw last night this team could swing to bat and they do some good things in offense but they're very athletic and we also saw that last night we saw Noel make a great catch in right we saw some good plays on defense in the infield and Brennan right there just outran that ball and made that catch look pretty easy Lefty against Lefty as Bellinger stands in Cody takes a strike Bellinger as a left-handed batter hitting about as well as any left-handed hitter in the big leagues against southpaws this year 343 which is very impressive Cody nothing for four last night parus a short lead at first being held by Josh Naylor the catcher is B Naylor here's a swing and a popup foul third Bas side and out of Play Nothing and two on Bellinger that Bellinger stat just kind of goes back to what we saw last year that shortening up of the Swing making sure you put the ball in play using the other side of the field you know and at the beginning it wasn't working out all that well early in the season form but as the season progressed when you have a good approach it usually works pretty well and it is panned out as The Season's progress CR Cubs leadoff man was presented by Benny's Beverage Depot here comes the 02 Bellinger hits a ground ball to short scooped up by roio and he'll throw to first

about 10 ft shy of the track and that's out number one nothing nothing game bottom of the first run as you think about Javier Assad pitching against Cleveland what's on your mind well I think early in the ball game just creating you know that establishing that fast ball and that two seamer that he has which is a very good pitch and having command of it on both sides of the plate if he can do that that's when he is at his very best will Brennan appeared late in last night's game he was one for one Assad strong big right-hander from Mexico fires down low his fast ball tonight will Top out about 92 mph speed gun as always powered by xinity stream sports with xinity because it's only live once fast ball strike and the count two and one first inning also being powered by Invesco QQQ tomorrow's Innovation awaits with Invesco QQQ pulled on the ground base hit right field sharp single between first and second by Will Brennan and the Guardians get their first base runner scoreless game and the batter Jose Ramirez this ball well struck gets a two seam fast ball starts out inside and ends up in the middle of the plate and Brennan didn't miss it hit a bullet through the right side here is the main man for the Guardians and he has been for a long long time H sides hits for average from both sides big RBI man 97 RB here on the 13th of August and he swings and fouls it back and what a swing he takes Ron he was looking to put points on the board with that swing he got a two seamer ended up getting too much of the plate and he was trying to hit that one in the second deck now the stretch by the right-hander Assad here's a Fly ball center field deep but playable for Crow Armstrong and that's going to be out number two nice breaking ball had the batter just off balance enough to get him out yeah it looked like Ramirez was thinking he was going to pull that ball and then the breaking ball wasn't quite where he thought had to redirect the barrel of the bat a little bit and just gets the routine flyball two down a minut at first scoreless game beautiful night here in Cleveland most of the infield is in the shade right field and shallow Center and left Center all in sunshine Josh Naylor two for four drove in a couple of runs last [Music] night Josh 87 runs back add it in how about that one-w punch of Ramirez and Naylor 97 and 87 RB respectively and they hit backto back in the order well for Ramirez to have that kind of protection a guy like Naylor who's having a very good year you have to pitch to him now and that is difficult task for any team and the pitch on the way to Naylor it's taken high and outside not much familiarity between Assad and these Guardians this is his second game and his first start talking about Assad against Cleveland ever he had worked a grand total of three Innings against them in a relief outing last year prior to getting the start tonight so they're still learning about each other three balls and no strikes on Josh Naylor I'd be care careful with this one yeah this this fast ball you you definitely don't want to lose this one in the middle of the plate the 3 0 taking all the way is Naylor that could be a decoy move M later later on in the same game if he gets that same count he might be swinging from his heels let's keep an eye on the runner Brennan at first 3-1 deliver and that's going to be outside for ball four so Assad has given up a single and now a walk and has to face David fry with two men on and two down before he steps in we step away 10 for ID this is the score in the Southwest Airlines Cubs radio network talk Cubs with us on the Bernstein and home show weekday 10: a.m. until 2 on the score and the Southwest Airlines Cubs radio network WCR Chicago wbmx HD2 Chicago and odyssey sports station David fry the batter hits a high popup foul and out of play nice to be working again with our engineer Stacy Knox Zack zadan working alongside he'll chime in every now and again on the out of town scoreboard and he'll work the fifth inning with Ron cumer here comes the pitch on the way taken high for a ball Assad in his last two outings both games resulted in wins August second against the Cardinals August 7 against Minnesota but in each game he worked only four Innings here's the pitch on the way fast ball sinks down low his wildness cost him a chance for a couple of individual wins even though they were team wins for the Cubs he just couldn't stick around five innings yeah that's exactly right he he didn't quite have the great command of his fast ball was one and then the putaway pitch a lot of deep counts because of foul balls you know and that just racks up Pitch after pitch after pitch and once again he's you know he's at three and one you know two hitters in a row now 3 and0 to naor and now to fry three and one Runners lead first and second Brennan away from second niler away from first and the pitch to fry is right down the middle for a call strike three and two now that one surprised me a three and one count on the number five hitter in the first inning with two outs and two on why didn't he be why wasn't he swinging I don't know I I don't have that answer the runner goes here's a soft liner to short caught by Danby Swanson and that will end the inning good pitch by Javier Assad the [Music] Guardians well hit deep right the power of day La Cruz four extra base hits he just crushed his second Homer of the game what a souvenir Reds get one back in a big way his third career multi-home Run [Music] game De La Cruz rolls one that is through pitch called a strike throw down is late opposite way that is down base hit takes off no Thro there goes De La Cruz called strike throw down late De La Cruz he takes off Pitch swing in a Miss throw down it's wide and he's on for the fourth time today Cho to third backand short way to Second bobbled the De La Cruz effect he speed you [Music] up and he's going the throw down is late the Atlanta brains career stolen base record belongs to Ronald aunia Jr that's number 190 I wonder if he knows he's in a pretty deep conversation over there and the fans giving him the Ovation that he deserves almost if someone told him hey man take a look at the big board you are now the boss of stolen bases here in Atlanta [Applause] baby experience the new genesis of Algonquin to see how every Genesis is meticulously designed and crafted for luxury visit Genesis of Algonquin them first up and he'll take a strike Patrick came off the bench last night and lashed a double right into the left field Corner here's the pitch on the the way wisdom swings and fouls it back got a pitch to hit took a good cut fouled it back to the screen no score second inning wisdom Herer and Swanson here in the [Music] second nice crowd on hand very few empty seats in the lower deck and the pitch to wisdom swing and a miss off speed pitch got him scoreless game second inning for Nico Herer there are fans virtually in every section of the park mentioned last night this is similar to Pittsburgh PNC Park where it does not hold 40,000 people I think the World Series when we were here we had 37s and 38,000 yeah I think that's right mhm so it's one of the lower here comes the 01 pitch on the way to Nico and he fouls it at the plate it's one of the parks that holds the fewest number of fans when it's filled to capacity lower seating capacity but they do have room here in the ballpark area in these big concourses they got in left field down the line mhm and in right center for standing room only if you want I thought they did a very nice job this park how old is this park now what do we say 30 years old 1994 exactly 30 years old 30 years old and it still looks nice it's you know especially out here when you're out where you see the fans or the field I I always thought this had a good look to it they did a nice job here here's the pitch on the way to Nico O'er from the left-hander Matthew Boyd and it's fouled away as you were saying that for some reason I thought back to game seven that home run by Raj Davis that tied the game in the eighth inning of course it was nationally televised here's a foul off to the right out of play and the next thing I saw was a picture of LeBron James he was a native of Cleveland and he I think he still played here in the NBA for the Cavaliers at that time and uh boy were they having a great party down the left field line there's a line drive out of the range of Ramirez down the left field line extra base it for Herer Nico hot footing at around second and he's going to hold there that's what I like about Nico most guys would have said that's a double I'll just go cruising into second he doesn't take anything for granted run just in case the ball would have been temporarily bobbled by Quan and left he was going to be a third yeah he went flying around second base there's no doubt about that and Nico at first extra base hit for the Cubs today and Zach handsman doubles by Cubs batters they're sponsored by Traffic Tech double up your business with Traffic Tech hardest working team in transport here is Dansby Swanson speaking of doubles he had a clutch three run double in the seventh inning last night Cubs battled back only to lose 9 to8 corner at second one away no score second inning Corner running and he'll steal third the ball bobbled by bone Naylor the catcher I don't think he would have gotten him anyway but when he bobbled it he just put the ball in his pocket as Nico was diving into third yeah nle got a a couple Hops and then took off and Boyd really wasn't paying much attention to him and now the infield in for Cleveland here in the second inning Swanson will chop it foul it's an RBI Spot Run take us into the mind of Dan V Swanson here against boy you now when he's got two strikes you just want to put this ball in play you're really hoping to get the ball elevated and get it to the Outfield Nico will probably be going on contact here even though the infield is in see what kind of secondary lead he gets down the line Matthew Boyd the left-hander to Dansby Swanson he swinging a Fly ball to right slicing toward the corner over is no well does he have a play yes but it's going to be a sacrifice fly Here Comes nio Hornet a score Noel went right over to the railing in foul territory near the corner made the catch but tagging alertly nio and the Cubs lead one to nothing on the sacrifice fly as you were calling that ball going down the line I almost yelled out catch it you know because if he catches that ball it's going to score run as he goes right up against the railing and catches it right at the top of it and it ends up being a catch it's the second out but the Cubs will take the Run pet Crow Armstrong will take a strike and the rbi's by Cubs batters dead sacrifice Li they sponsored by an Old National Bank where relationships and results matter Lefty to Lefty Crow Armstrong pulls a ground ball to Second Jimenez will throw him out to end the inning but niik hoer gets a double steals third and scores on a foul [Music] B ground ball up the middle Pano smother flips it out of the glove Reas a be head in time the double play of the year how can you not smile about that one it's a terrific play all the way around wasn't sure he's going to get to it the flip barehanded and unable to get the throw off to finish it a double play yeah Logan likes [Music] it this ball is hit hard deep left field Travis darno has given the Braves the lead shot from Travis darno he's looking to add another darno goes yard for the second time tonight this one is hit well deep left center field it is a grand slam for Travis darno his third Homer of the knights and the Braves lead 7 [Music] to3 another hit he's reached in 13 straight play appearances and 12 hits in that span fourth time in major league history 12 straight at BS with a hit didn't come cheap either 102 off the bat here and again up the middle velocity fainting season is here cover all your bases by visiting Benjamin moore.com for your nearest store location Benjamin Moore is the official paint of the Chicago Cubs game days through the end of this month check out the Motorola Razor room Ryan Sandberg popup exhibit this space at Gallagher way features many of Rhino's Personal Collection of memorabilia from his Hall of Fame career and Motorola's newest devices Pat I'll bet the bat of his two Homer game against Bruce suder would be part of that collection just a wild guess yeah as Andre Jimenez leads off the second inning for the Guardians does it say what some of the items are Zach the only thing would be different is if that bats in Cooper town right and an exhibit that they got there but what do they say anything Zach just his personal collection of memorabilia from his Hall of Fame career so I'm sure it's a little bit of everything you got to believe there's a few gold gloves in that that exhibit is there enough room for them all yeah right really happy to see Rhino and you know earlier this year out the ballpark a few times the statue ceremony in June was a great great night there's a taper toward third that's going to roll it's going to stay fair that ball almost looked like it moved more toward Fair territory than it did toward foul which is against what it normally does Ron well this the left-handed hitter that goes out around this ball and then hooks it so the spin on this ball is bringing it back towards Fair territory the other thing about that is the lines I would always check the third base line at the start of a series and roll the ball down there as you're coming out for batting correction you just get a ball you're standing at home plate for BP and I would just roll one down the down the dirt to see which way the ball would go that was pushing it fair it almost defied the laws of physics there you always expect a ball to roll foul yeah but that one went the other way John Kenzie Noel was the big man for the Guardians last night two home runs good for four runs batted in and he made a great defensive play with a fine catch in right him menz with the leadoff single at first Cubs lead one to nothing second inning Noel has eight homers for the Year big right-handed batter takes high for a ball yeah you start talking about play at the game The Catch he made in right field you know that was a two-run change because two runs are going to score if he doesn't make that catch at least two turned the whole game around bounc wide of third diving stopped by paradus throws to Second too late no they call him out that's going to be reviewed I'm pretty sure Roberto Ortiz the second base umpire called him out he sure looked safe from our standpoint and we're going to see see if the Guardians challenge that call I'm almost certain that they will I'll be stunned if they don't yeah he's they're showing it on the big board before he even gets to the area where they're going to stand and review it I chall the alol at second base shortest review in baseball history challenges and managerial challenges and instant replays that's when they take a second look a second opinion is always a good idea get yours at Northwestern Medicine it's either going to be first and second with nobody out or a man at first with one away in slow motion it's closer than I thought actually it's much closer yes yeah I I will say that I thought it was when I first saw it on a big screen it seemed you know pretty lopsided now it seems a little closer than we thought they still think they're going to overturn it the optical the illusion of the play is men is coming up early in the slide that popup slide so he's already coming up before his foot hits the bag on second base in New York City they are deliberating right now we can tell you that Cubs baseball is brought to you in part by Granger in fact the Cubs count on Granger help to keep beautiful regle field running to get the products you need call click granger.com or stop by Granger official partner of the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field still deliberating so we're going to think about beginning the Benny's Beverage Depot attendance game and we had right around 25,000 last night I'll say 2 6,162 tonight 26162 two after review the call is overturned the runner is safe and clevel will R the call is overturned as you heard Alonso Marquez has the microphone the crew chief home played umpire number [Music] 23 now first and second and nobody out here in this second inning it was a nice diving stop by per atus sometimes Ron it always takes time to get the ball out of your glove when you've made that play bow nailor the batter and B will take a fast ball strike I'm sure you had to make that throw a few times yeah the hard part he he lays out for this ball now you're going to throw it straight ahead you don't hop up and get to your feet and it looked like prady's double clutch trying to get that ball out of his glove and that's what caus the little bit of delay breaking ball in the dirt dir thinking about a third baseman diving so now you're flat on your chest you've made the stop but now you have to decide what is the quickest way to make the throw to second base is there an answer for that there really isn't it's just practice and you know being athletic the best you can the 1- one a change up floats outside bow Naylor like his brother has some power with nine home runs doing the catching tonight for the Guardians two men on nobody out the pitch fouled away Bo he got a fast ball right in the middle of the plate at the knees he took a big swing and fou it back it's frustrating for Assad the first batter reached on the ball that bounced into Fair territory when it looked like it was going to stay foul and then the next guy also with an infield hit here's a drive into left Center well hit back goes Crow Armstrong near the fence he makes a running grab and gets it back in tagging from second and going to third is Jimenez holding it first is Noel excellent running catch by Pete Crow Armstrong he got on his horse and raced to the wall in deep left Center and caught that baseball beautiful play yeah you know all batting practice long I saw paker Armstrong going back to the wall and catching balls by the wall wall so he is very familiar with the warning track how many steps he has before he gets to that wall and he made a very nice catch in left center field Brian roio the batter left-handed hitter showing bunt bunts back toward the mound the throw home not in [Music] time and the Guardians have squeezed in a run had Assad made a perfect throw to bethan court they might have had a shot it was not a Force play it would have required a tag but the throw was low and to the first base side and off the glove of Bon court and scoring on the play Jimenez and Tommy hoty out to the Mount frustrating inning for Assad the only hard hit ball was the one caught by Crow Armstrong Ron that's right couple infield hits now in this inning and a fielder's choice and you know this is this is really just a bun for a base hit by roio seeing you know parades back behind the bag and it works you know the the one thing about it when you have a few different guys that you know are going to could bunt it keeps all the base runners on their toes too because you youd always know it's an option and he laid down a beautiful bun rokio did and the only play Assad had was to bear hand it and fire at home it'll be a base hit in RBI and the game is tied at one Runners at first and second with one away for Steven Quan and Quan takes a strike Cubs stole a bag in the top of the inning Nico horn is swiping one stolen bases are sponsored by AO tire for each stolen base this season a donation will be made to keeping families covered fast ball strike two called Nothing in two Quan's taking two heaters right down the middle went to college at Oregon State part of their World Series college championship and he takes strike three call you don't expect any hitter to stand up there and take three straight pitches called strikes let alone a guy hitting 326 326 and he got men on base that's that's not that bad and the you know the last pitch is right on the corner Bullseye pitch for a side but the first two got all of the middle portion of the strikes off will Brennan the batter hits a Fly ball to right center it's playable routine in fact for Suzuki he's got it minimal damage one run three hits for the Guardians we go to the third Cubs one Cleveland [Music] one one two highfly Ball Deep center field meta is there Parker Meadows thieves a home run from Ry he planted he jumped and he made himself into a poster all 6'5 look at [Applause] this seventh pitch to Gunner leading off the game and Henderson drills it right field down the line that's a gunner oh that thing got out of here in a nan second another leadoff Gunner stunner and the Orioles jump on top 112. 3 mph 410 feet I'm not even sure I saw this ball leave the bat it was hit so quickly has grounded to short Homer is flly out to Center one for three high drive right field towards a Petco porch down the line and gone second straight day the padr have walked it off this time it's the kid Jackson Merill second home run of the day wins it for the Friars 54 slider down and in that's the danger zone what a way to complete the sweep for your nearest store location Benjamin Moore is the official paint of the Chicago Cubs it's the third inning in Cleveland each team with a run both team getting their tally in the second inning Dansby Swanson with a sacrifice fly for the Cubs Brian rokio a squeeze bunt squeeze bunt single that is to drive in the Guardians tally here we go third inning Christian bethan Court first up against the Lefty Matthew Boyd and the first pitch is in for a strike Boyd was IR regular in the Detroit Tigers rotation for about 5 years starting in 2016 here's a pop-up foul off to the right out of play never did win as many as 10 games in a year in the big leagues but he was a guy that made 31 starts in 2018 32 starts the next year career erra 4.94 and he's quite a few games below 500 44 and 67 but if you're left-handed dot dot dot you will get more opportunities I I think it's safe to say them right-handers yeah I agree absolutely lefties have always been kind of a a rare commodity and you just need them at certain times against certain teams here's a ground ball sharply to third pick cleanly by Ramirez he'll make that throw to first in time Christian bethan cord is out number one and the batter is Ian hap Beth Court hit that ball sharply and two hops right to Ramirez at third and a third is sponsored by Granger official partner of the Chicago Cubs and rley field call click granger.com or just stop by he in half a strikeout victim his first time Matthew Boyd delivers and that's in there for a strike we are coming to you live all season long from the Invesco QQQ broadcast Booth proud ETF partner of the Chicago Cubs swing and a miss by hap maybe the best fast ball we've seen from Boyd all night long no high heater and double play Turned by the Cubs they sponsored by Nissan they make cars that thrill experience the thrill for yourself today with Nissan one ball and two strikes now on Ian hap playing field here in Immaculate condition H takes lowan inside grass on the infield cut nice and low has it always been that way Ron yeah this has always been a good infield and always been a very fast infield so you would have played third base against the likes of Albert Bell mm right Manny Ramirez Carlos bayera yeah here's the line draft shallow Center facee hit a one- out single for Ian hap you would have probably played some games against Roberto Alamar oh yeah both Alamar Brothers absolutely the guy that I had the most fun playing against in this park as a third baseman might surprise you Kenny laugh why would that be because of his bunting abilities so I would come as a lead off hitter he was a very good bunter and he would bunt fairly fairly often because he was really trying to steal bags too so I would play way in on the grass and I would talk to him as he was going to home PL you you dare him to bunt basically oh yeah yeah and I got to know him through the years and I would yell at him you're not buting on me did he ever try oh yeah all the time he'd show bunt and he'd like I'm going to hit it past I go good luck no he he was a really good player very fast guy he sucked paras's batting pulls it foul left side out of play but he certainly was a good player for the Cubs yeah came over in the 23 uh 2003 season and played in the postseason he was part of the Cubs team that beat the Atlanta Braves in the National League Division Series I want to say he started game five with a double off the wall in right field at Turner Field and he scored a run and carry wood pitched a great game highfly that's a pop fly foul and coming back out of play but he was a dynamic little ball player yeah he could run he a little power yep go get him if you threw him inside you you made a mistake because that's where he could do damage against you and he would look to pull the ball at times he was a very good bunter he's a fun guy to watch play a ball and a strike on ESO paradus he singled his first time ball game even at one AP piece Suzuki on Deck the stretch by Matthew Boyd the big left-hander brings it and that's strike three [Applause] called got it the inside corner with that fast ball though for seamer over the top didn't have much movement just a dart down and in par is looking for something away and probably off speed and Boyd goes with the heater inside for strike three is it dangerous with two strikes to look for something off speed yeah I I I think it is unless you have lightning quick hands and you can make that adjustment I think that's a tough one yeah SE Suzuki at the plate now two outs one to one game third inning hard of the lineup today sponsored by Southwest Airlines book a low fair today at southwest.com Floyd made another awkward looking pickoff throw to first almost like he has a little bit of an issue making pickoff throws it's the sidearm look to it right it just looks odd he is ready the lead by hap and the pitch and that's going to be a strike to Suzuki I always think and maybe I'm wrong tell me if you're a left-hander you should have a good pickoff move to First you have the advantage swinging a Miss by Suzuki you're looking right at the runner as he takes his lead yeah I would agree absolutely and and if you can be a little deceptive you can prevent a lot of stolen bases yeah why wouldn't you practice that now the next pitch fast ball is high and occasionally you're going to pick a guy off yeah and th those turn games around you do that about the fifth or sixth inning of a 1-1 game that's a huge out now the one-w from Boyd fast ball is high let's see if seya gets something to hit here and let's keep an eye on hap on two two hap I think is still trying to figure out Boyd's move he has got a pretty conservative lead at first base and the pitch on the way Sean takes inside check swing no swing so now we' going about as far as we can go a little slider down and in to seah he moved the feet now an extra base hit that'll definitely score run H has his lead there he goes Suzuki it's a Fly ball to right pretty well hit back goes Noel with a play makes the catch near the warning track over toward Right Center Cubs don't score leave one middle of inning number [Music] three for [Music] [Music] the Phillies than anybody else that one's out to left that's pretty well hit Hernandez is going back on the run out to the scoreboard and it is gone swing and a hot shot out toward right center field that's got a chance it is gone out to center field that one's well hit going back as P has it is gone he's hit one the left he's hit one to right and now he hits one to center field [Music] there he goes taking off for third swing and Miss trouble on the transfer he claims third base it's a new Red's record for swipes before the break and that's 15 times he has taken third left-handed hitter guy that's really fast throwing the ball to Third Base but the speed of Ellie De La Cruz makes your Rush trouble getting it out of his glove the Ellie effect are built to keep workers in the zone and Off the Bench Bosch tools what hard workers deserve the out of town scoreboard is fueled by Sito Trine gasoline when you start with Sito you're good to go Nationals and Orioles are tied at two in the top half of the fourth inning at Camden Yards Anthony santand going deep for Baltimore he's got 36 home runs this season I did not realize he had racked up that many Zack sand the Cubs had such a great Series in Baltimore just saw them for those three games Cubs swept all three next pitch to Jose Ramirez is taken for a ball I beg your pardon taken for a strike one and two on Jose Josh Naylor and David fry to follow and the next pitch popped up Shallow left might be a tough play dropping toward the line it's a fair ball Ramirez going for a double and he is safe at second a pop fly doubled the other way no chance for hap to get over and make the catch and the Guardians get a break I said inside fast ball whenever a hitter gets beat by a fast ball inside if you pull it the swing is not a good swing it's out and around but if you hit the ball and it goes the other way it's just bad timing that's exactly what Ramirez did and just catches this ball off the fists and just Loops this one in a short left for a double Josh Naylor ready to step in now the sun starting to go down here's a fast ball hind no more streaks of light on the field all of the field now is in the Shaded area the lights are on but still plenty of daylight enjoy these days these warm summer days and nights you get to about this time you know they're not going to last forever Naylor took some time to tighten his batting gloves I think his feet are spread very wide in the box and now the pitch in there for a strike what he does he pulls the front leg back a little bit Ron to get some more balance yeah he's got kind of an awkward kind of setup as he's looking at the pitcher while he's take he's getting a sign kind of leans back front foot kind of awkwardly out there check swing that'll be a strike I'll say this though once the bat starts going in motion towards the ball he knows what he's doing he has he's pile up some numbers this year 26 bombs and 87 driven in already and we're still in the middle of August and the pitch on the way to Naylor it's high and outside because of those two guys you mentioned they probably play a big role in this note that I'm going to read you Cleveland has 32 come from behind wins that's one behind Kansas City for the major league lead Fly ball left Center on the Run Crow Armstrong makes the catch tagging as Ramirez it might be a play at third base the throw the slide safe at third base pretty good throw by Pete Pro arm strong kind of a gamble by Jose Ramirez the league is still kind of finding out about the arm of Pete but that guy's got a great throwing arm yeah I I don't think Ramirez thought it was going to be even close to this at third base Pete going back catches his ball and what happens is peeping left-handed you know he's in position to throw right away and Ramirez just barely gets in in front of this throw now David fry batting infield in Fry takes a fast ball inside one away in the inning and a runner at third and Ramirez wasn't jogging he he was running hard to Third and had to to make it safely close Play here's a high popup foul and back out of play Zach and I still have to make our attendance guesses in the Benes bever Depot attendance game I am going to say 27,000 flat I'll go 26,500 so we're on in that same neighborhood here comes the 1-1 from Assad and it's taken just under the knees for a ball two and one on David fry where's that pitch Hanzo must have got blocked out on that last pitch that Ball's right I mean

told this story on the air before about Sandy uh junior the catcher coming with the last day of the Season my last my last at bat of the Season line knocked down by Assad and he throws to First in time is he okay yes I think he is frightening moment a wicked line drive right back to the mound Assad got the glove up I believe and that took the brunt of the line drive he's still a little groggy and probably a little stunned I think it hit him in the glove but on the palm of the hand in the glove is what I think it did we have not seen a replay yet but I mean it hit him hard a liner right back through the box that is one of the most frightening things that we see he was fortunate to still make the play he threw a one hopper to first but that is that's just terrifying to watch just to stay with the play is pretty incredible yeah his his hand it either got him in the hand like the the outside palm of the hand like below your pinky but in that padding part of the hand but I mean this is an absolute rocket he still doesn't like putting his glove on yet trying to shake off the distance from the mound to the plate run is everyone knows 60 ft 6 in when you deliver you're probably about 53 to 54 ft away from the batter and that Ball's coming back at you at 100 m an hour yeah and you just hope to get some kind of a glove on the ball I think he did and he's going to resume for the guardi but that will that will be unnerving for at least a few minutes you'd think well he catches this ball right underneath his chin about chest high and it hits him in the glove and I mean you

that's nice to know you got fans Mr tenure that's pretty nice sure almost sounds like a person who has job security as in the word tenure oh yeah tenure but he spells it t n y ER tenure Ricky Henderson used to always say I don't have tenure I got [Music] 15E that's even better than tenure right real [Laughter] ten and the 3-2 down low maybe that's a start of a rally it's a base on balls for ESO paradus Ricky Henderson had to play 22 years in the big leag he was absolutely amazing he funny as could be but I mean you talk about an incredible athlete got play with him my last year with the Dodgers and I get to hang out with him a little bit and him and Freddy McGriff and Brian Jordan and and Ricky and I and I mean he I think he was 44 years old Pat and he looked like he was 24 years old chiseled oh and could still fly not an ounce of fat power Speed Run scoring walks I mean he he led all time in several categories in addition to stolen bases of course Suzuki fouls it away he leads the league in stories told about him too I will say that he is one funny guy and the 1- one is a breaking ball strike on the outside corner boy Marquez really he's having a rough inning Cubs hitters haven't said much but the strike zone in this inning away with these breaking balls from Avala way off the plate away I mean they're not even close this one is low on outside and a pitcher a smart pitcher run if he keeps getting that call by the Umpire he'll keep throwing it until the Umpire says nope that's too far outside I absolutely why wouldn't you and now the two- two swing and a miss strike three sharp breaking ball got him nobody has put the ball in play in the inning pair of strikeouts sandwiched around a base on balls two down paradus at first and the batter Cody Bellinger the walks as Zack points out sponsored by Northshore adult diapers reassuringly strong protection for even the heaviest control problem s visit northshore.com sound effects supplied by both Ron and Zach I believe I thought it almost sounded like our engineer Stacy Knox had chimed in as well but I I doubt it I think it was just the back row but I think it was a singular not no help just one really satisfied [Music] customer one to one game sixth inning Cody Bellinger trying to satisfy all of his teammates and all the Cub fans listening in Bellinger has reached on a fielder's choice and struck out 0 for six and this is a good hitters park you don't want to go 0 for six here Aila to Bellinger Cody will lay off some high heat and now the count goes to two and one there are two outs in the inning with paradus at first he might get something to hit here yeah I would think so I I would think could get it probably be outer half something to hit no low and inside not close this guy does not throw many straight fast balls no he gets he really gets around the ball just enough to really get great hooking action that last pitch the fast ball but it almost looked you know the break on it looked like a cutter and the 3-1 Bellinger takes a strike top of the Zone fast ball Cody wasn't Overjoyed with that call as I watch it again it was close probably a strike yep top of the Zone outside on the Block and the 3-2 the runner goes the pitch lined on the right field line of base hit over to cut it off is Noel racing to third on the play paradus it's a long single for Cody Bellinger in the go-ahead run now 90 ft away with two outs in the sixth inning and the batter is wisdom now belly gets this pitch same kind of pitch same type of break but more inside and he gets out to this ball and hooks it and he smokes this ball down the line all does a good job and right of getting to that ball and not if that ball gets to the wall parad scores but he got to that ball in good shape kept Bellinger to a single and kept the Run Cubs from scoring with a right-hander now pitching Michael Bush is going to be called upon to act as a pinch hitter for the Cubs Carl Willis to the mound this is probably a reminder on The Scouting Report of the young player Michael Bush and that's another thing R these inter league games you only see them three games a year there's not as much familiarity as there is to players in your own League absolutely so bush bush will bat for wisdom here tie game sixth inning Carl long time pitching coach here for the Cleveland Indians he's been a good pitching coach for a long time the lead at third by paradus Bellinger away from first Avila working on Bush and the first pitch low and in you're pinch hitting here Ron what's the thinking well you're looking for the first fast ball you can get that's very hitable and you know you're going to gear up for this 95 mph fast ball see if he gets one to hit here the 1 oh swings and misses it looked like a hitable pitch he just came up empty good location for the pitcher on the inside corner just underneath the hands but a good aggressive swing by Bush plenty of Cub fans in attendance ready to make some

ruled to have swung Austin Jones the first base umpire made that call and now n Go's a good base Steeler keep that in mind as he bats big chop toward thir going to be a tough play for Ramirez back hands no play infield single Ramirez playing off the line had to charge in and make a running backhand try on the short hop could not glove it cleanly that's a base hit all the way Chic and I was going to say Ron you know where I'm going Nico now could steal second base absolutely this is 101 M hour fast ball Nico chops this ball and even if Ramirez catches this ball cleanly with the direction he was running I'm not sure if he'd thrown him out now if you're ni you got to try to take second base Dansby Swanson batting takes inside you said Class A how many home runs has he given up one one so you need to take second base and try to get in scoring position Nico with a very good lead at First Class slow to the plate the runner goes the pitch High throw to second base Nico slides safe at second base the second baseman Jimenez came up in front of the bag to take the low throw then he tried to dive back but by that time a head first slide for Herer had gotten him to the bag how about that pitch by class he slide step very seldom do you see a closer change anything that he's doing and the ball was just never caught by the second basem in men tying run at second two down Swanson hits a bouncer toward third charging as Ramirez and they've got Nico in a run down between second and third Herer is over toward third he's being run down and tagged out for the game's final out Nico running on contact as the tying run Ramirez took the high bouncer didn't even look to first he saw Herer hung up between second and third Nico basically running right to the man who caught the grounder they get him in a rund down and the ball game is over and Cleveland has beaten the Cubs 2 to one Ron some final thoughts in that last play well it's one of those things Nico comes off these secondary the ball's chopped you go and usually the third baseman throws the ball across the diamond but I I really believe Ramirez was not sure he was going to be able to throw out Swanson because of the high Chopper so he just takes takes the out next to him in the rund down and it ends up working out for Cleveland it's one of those ball games one swing in the bat and a hanging breaking ball and that's the ball game the scoring on the final play fielder's choice for Swanson and Herer is out on the play that has scored scored 5465 so kind of a strange ending to the ball game but it's all over
