with a change up three balls of two strikes fading beneath the strike zone at the last moment Full Count on Bogarts and here's the pitch and he'll take that change up low again ball four so it works a two out walk and that'll bring up Manny Machado right-handed batter at 269 with 17 home runs four for eight lifetime against Gonzales Padres will have three different left-handed hitters in the lineup today here's the pitch swinging a foul back Hung Kim a right-handed batter not in there today was a late scratch yesterday with sord triceps so he and the backup catcher kusano the right-handed BS on the bench other otherwise couple of lefties here's an 01 left it up that was the cut fast ball one ball and one strike to Machado Bogarts and his six stolen bases on at first with two away here in the top of the first inning Marco Gonzalez of the Pirates coming home fast ball upstairs at 90 and it's two balls at a strike a little breeze blowing in tonight a little much cooler than it's been the last several days I don't know if that'll affect the Flight of the ball and change up outside well off the plate three and one on Machado so Gonzalez got two outs on four pitches then he walked Bogarts and now the pitch to Machado is lined over third and into left to base hit Bart's touches second was heading to third but Reynolds got it in quickly and that prohibits Bogarts from advancing any further first and second with two outs for Donovan Solano coming up yeah he got the uh cutter in there about belt high on the inside part of the plate Machado doesn't Barrel it up but hits it hard enough and high enough to dump it in the left and now the right-handed batting Donovan Salan who last night had four hits and four RBI hitting at 314 here's the pitch and it's Highway ball one signed with the Padres in April he's 36 Ops just shy of 800 yeah that's a pretty big pretty good pickup 10's outside two and0 yeah between he and profar who signed for close to the minimum and the salanos same uh Prof far signed mid-February right before spring trading those two have been huge parts of their lineup here's the pitch swinging a foul back and a high fast ball two and one so Gonzalez not afraid to throw a fast ball on 2- yeah that was um right there too inent her third a late swing from salano first and second with two away no Score first inning San Diego batting the pitch swinging in a miss that was the curve ball down and in now two balls and two [Music] strikes that's Solano off balance Gonzalez comes to the set his two2 swing and a foul off to the right and there they go protecting again I mean that's that fast ball was a foot off the plate and and if they're able to go and waste that pitch you it's a ball It's actually an easy take but uh he went out there it almost thinks almost tells me I got to pound the Min I have to go in on the hands if he can reach that he's looking out there here's a two- two coming and the curveball away is swinging a miss and it strikes out salano 2 in the inning so a hit and two left for San Diego we're through a half inning it's the Padre's nothing and the Pirates coming up on the Pirates radio network cim CER out towards right field this one heading back for the bullpen at the wall see you later cam clier breaks this one open a one nothing lead on a 1 pitch cam poier MVP of the 2024 Allstar Futures game it was amazing moment and something I never [Music] forget excited to be back again for another season of Pirates baseball look for your favorites like Head Hunter IPA and bumbleberry honey blueberry ale as well as our newest yearround in Hometown Brew yinger logger throughout the park and at our Bullpen bar cheers now the Pirates coming to bat in the home half of the first inning Andrew McCutchen to bat against the Padre's rander Michael King King putting up nice numbers first one to catch is in there for a strike you fast ball 93 94 he throws it about half the time half for seamer about 25% for seamer 25% Sinker as also has a change up a sweeper oh strike two another inside fast [Music] ball you just got the he has that sneaky fast ball that you have a hard time getting a swing off against I had two strikes of the pitch outside that time with that sweeping slider one ball and two strikes that throws a little bit from a hunched position when he delivers the ball a little bit across his body here's a a one-w a swing and a foul on an away fast ball right on that Outer Edge the one and two on mcin hitting at 229 he's got a six-game hitting streak 13 home runs then Reynolds and ker FFA here's a one-w right there strike three call change up Anthony one out defensively for San Diego it's proar and left Merill find center fielder the rookie Bryce Johnson Starts the game in right field Machado he made an excellent play Third yesterday Wade and Bogart's in the middle salano Man's first and Kyle higashioka doing the catching here's Brian Reynolds switch hitter hitting at 286 with 19 home runs King delivers a little bit up for ball one on the sweeper missing King is 29 years old from Mor Rhode Island pitch at Boston College also was a good position player there's a strike one and one Padre's with the 10an tops and bottoms on today with the brown pin stripes here's the 1-1 swing in a Miss down and the way change up perfectly placed at the knees on the Outer Edge one and two you're talking about throwing across his body he throws well across his body he he stands on the first base side of the rubber and he steps towards the right-handed batter's box here's the pitch outside with the change two and two well he's Landing that front foots Landing about 3 ft um to the third base side of his right foot I mean he's really stepping across his body here's a two2 now and Reynolds takes it a little bit High fast ball at 94 three and two what does that do to The Hitter anything I think it might be a little more difficult to pick up the ball see his back 3-2 pitch swinging a Miss struck him out a fast ball at the top of the zone and Reynolds strikes out back to back KS for King now ker FFA you it might not affect a left-handed hitter as much as a right-handed hitter but it looks like he's coming right at a right-handed hitter looks like he's throwing the ball at you cuz he's stepping right towards you you try to ignore that and just pick up the release Point here's the pitch and ker FFA fouls back a fast ball at 95 these two were teammates with the Yankees last couple of years coner FFA at 290 for the season seven home runs came over from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline scoreless here in the first inning here's an 01 outside missing with a slider one ball one strike that's a little bit tighter than that sweeping slider that moves a little bit more side to side bigger break to it 1-1 from King outside missing hooked the fast ball that time at 95 two and one to Isaiah ker FFA playing it short again tonight O'Neal Cruz out with illness here's the pitch strike yeah there's a lot of f F balls catching a lot of plate without swings being offered just they're like they can't get their swing off 2 two a swinging a liner in right late break for Johnson he Dives for it it goes over him and will trickle onto the warning track ker FFA around second heading into third base and ker FFA slides in he's at third with two outs here in the first inning yeah he's making a pretty good first and pressured he's had a really nice uh home stand and U boy he's able to get a swing off there actually that that wasn't the fast ball shocked he threw him a change up right on right change up a very um ill advised dive out there by Bryce Johnson he was nowhere near this ball I'm when I say nowhere near that ball landed 5et in front of his glove when he Dove and it's just silly and it took a single two out single and turned into into a triple and a check swing roller for tles it'll go into left field base hit RBI for row tles one- nothing Pirates that's great it's a crazy game you never know you never know how you're going to score and a gift wrap triple by the right fielder Bryce Johnson I mean a gift wrap and then a check swing I mean if they would have peeled that they would have said no he didn't go I mean it wasn't even close to be a swing that's how deep it hit Rowdy's bat and they're playing way off the line over there so that's a nice little break RBI number 38 for tles one- nothing Pirates here's grandall who takes up high for ball one yeah tles got an Up and Away fast ball and he was checking his swing and it shows you like you're illustrating how difficult it is to pick up his fast ball and King chose not to throw the fast ball to Conor FFA after two strikes here's the pitch down it in with the sweeper that time two and0 on grandall now they're showing on the TV side the right fielder Johnson he's out there shaking his head I mean I you can't imagine what you're thinking you couldn't have thought for a moment you had a prayer catching that ball you weren't anywhere close to it the pitch and it's outside three and0 now on grandal and again we talked about this fast ball from King that I mean he's thrown so many over the heart of the plate that people can't get swings off and yet he's see now he's nibbling he's trying to hit Corners gral hitting at 200 there's a 3 0 and he walked him on four pitches yeah now now you take advantage I mean he seems to be a little shaken up I mean that's a 3-oh pitch it wasn't even close and higashioka the catcher will come out and talk with King so now you think about that maybe not the you know in retrospect the best pitch Choice well so what conter F hit a change up down and Away good piece of hitting all right fine but misplayed into a triple run scores the next time around Kings just not used to giving up runs I mean he two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts and two or more in just four of those 11 starts so I mean zero or one is more common and he gives up a run here in the first inning it's a for defense two on for key Briant Hayes now he's got one extra base hit in July and August combined and this would be a great time for another one with two men on here after King struck out McCutchen and Reynolds to start his inning Pirates lead one- nothing pitch from King and Hayes takes a strike upstairs fast ball right at the top of the [Music] Zone Pirates already with more offense against the Padres than they had last night San Diego won six nothing yesterday Pirates are leading one nothing here in the first here's an 01 swinging a foul tip up and in fast ball two strikes and we'll see again that at the first pitch fast ball that he couldn't get a swing off second Pitch fast ball he's laid on throws something off speed and ke Bryan got a huge hole by the way up the middle between the second basem and the short stop here's an 02 down low and Away good stop by higashioka on that sweeper one and [Music] two got the pitcher up the middle tles and the second base umpire Mike molinsky that's it no Padre close in the middle infield one and two here it is Hayes fouls it off down n way change up I think yeah I mean they going to do him a favor by speeding them up I like it keep throwing the breaking stuff cuz I think that U we've seen so far the the hitters are not picking up as fast ball and I think they have a better chance at the break a ball than they do the fast ball and the Padres aren't picking up that fact either high and in fast B that time two and two Miss bad so King who looked like might work through a quick inning mandering through 26 pitches so far Pirates leading one- nothing right-hander sets two two to Hayes swinging a Fly ball down the left field line trying to tuck it over the wall and it will go foul Oh I thought it was gone he threw him the change up on 22 Yeah again you're doing us a favor keep it going I mean and we know that ke Brian Hayes does not pull many balls in the air and uh he's able to get the badad out there and I thought for a moment that that was going to curl inside the 325 marker over that left field wall which would have been a huge blow so two and two with two on and two out a run in for the Pirates leading one- nothing in the first the pitch just off the plate away with a up again soft it's remarkable the only fast ball he got two strikes quickly on him the only fast B he thre since then was well out of the zone now it's three and two here's the 29th pitch of this inning from King Hayes Taps it foul on a low fast ball still three and two barely able to spoil that it makes me wonder like as a as a pitcher you know as you're coming up you you know what stuff works best for you typically you know 3-2 swinging a ground ball through the right side base hit Here Comes Rowdy tles to score behind him grandall held it third on the RBI single by key Briant Hayes he hit that fast ball into right field and the Pirates lead two to nothing nicely done a fast ball out over the plate ke Brian Hayes catches it deep you almost right out of the catcher's glove and perfectly placed again Roundy Tes with Machado way off the line at third was able to check hit a check swing it got by him ke Brian Hayes does the same the other way with the first baseman salano well off the bag slaps it between he in the first base bag RBI number 24 for Hayes two nothing the Pirates here's gwan Bay and that's outside for ball one nine pitch at bat for Hayes King now more than 30 pitches thrown in this first inning rightfielder Johnson 110 ft off the line for the Lefty batter hitting at 184 Bay takes in and it's 2 and0 Machado was playing in even with the Baseline grandal went from first to third on the play that's where he stands now hay at first with two outs two in for the Pirates King seldom gives up this many runs in a start little bouncing ball up first base going to be troubled King the throw Bay is called out on a close play boy that was that's a fun to watch fun to watch bay run up that line that that's a tough play cuz he's throwing that ball from foul territory back into Fair territory with u seeing nothing but gwan Bay's back now they're going to look and uh NOP they're not going to challenge so King saves the day with a terrific play to end the inning but the Pirates grab a pair against Michael King in the first through an inning from PNC Park [Music] reaching out Bobby Wood Jr into the Outfield unbelievable play and a double he turn it stop it and on his 24th birthday gives a gift to Cole Reagan Dodger fans just got treated as something that maybe they hadn't seen before they just got Bobby for Royals fans that's a daily occurrence but to get Bobby is to be wowed number n wh nfield there it is [Music] how do you like this start to the second half of this season the Pirates are over 500 they've come back an improbable win High Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield official health plan of the Pittsburgh Pirates two nothing Pirates as we go to the second inning Marco Gonzalez to work to Jackson Merill Lefty batter rookie at 282 with 13 home runs swinging a miss on an up and in fast ball at 88 mph in strike one it'll be higashioka and then Bryce Johnson to follow Here Comes an 01 from the Lefty and a swing flyball deep center field Taylor back to the wall and there it goes into the bushes right at the foot of the batter's eye long home run for Jackson Merill and now it's two to one pirates that is legit pop right there talked about the wind blowing in and um this center fielder with his 14th Homer and pretty much a no doubter I mean that's over the center field wall by 20 ft yeah if it weren't for Paul skes he might be getting the Rookie of the Year this year the way that it's gone so far here is higashioka stations wee you that ID will'll pass it along in a moment there's a strike to the Padre is catcher 227 is the batting average 13 home runs he's hit 12 of them since June 442 ft on the home run for Merill and an 01 swinging a miss two strikes on a change to higashioka and one of baseball's best prospects coming into the season he's really helped the Padres who have won 12 of the last 14 here's an 02 from Gonzalez swinging a miss struck him out let's take 10 now for a station break on the Pirates radio network second strikeout for Marco Gonzalez one out in the inning here's Bryce Johnson switch hitter pushing a bun up first and no one seems to want to field it so he'll be safe um that seemed to be in a good spot though tles abandoned it but it was pushed more toward Tri though the second basement anyway that's the key you know when you have a bunner up there A lot of times you'll hear them say hey third basem take it away take it away and so the third baseman comes in so he takes it away well if you have a lefty pitcher up there and your second play baseman's playing deep and up the middle you push it that way it's a hit now now Tyler Wade takes outside ball one so really the only way to defend that is the second baseman has to take it away remember that with Billy Hamilton yep he wouldn't do it probably enough for anybody's liking here's the pitch but he'd do it once in a while ground ball on to second one relay not nearly in time Wade fast runner but they do get the Force four to six on Johnson weighed at first on the fielders Choice two men gone and back to the top for Aras two to one pirates leading in the second like Rowdy could have went and chased that ball down but then there's nobody to cover first you know that's the thing and and Gonzalez it was sped hard enough where Gonzalez couldn't get there so if Rowdy goes and gets it there's nobody to cover the back Gonzalez wouldn't beat him here's Aras who takes a strike what I mean is beat him he wouldn't Gonzalez wouldn't be able just because the follow through takes you to Third Base side you react to the bunt by the time you start running the first the runner is beating you there indefensible here's the 01 had its outside one ball and one strike remember they would bring in Josh Harrison after Hamilton had done that once or twice and then they brought in Harrison about even with the Baseline and negated Hamilton's opportunity to do that here's a 1-1 swinging a foul all you'd have to do is you just bring him you know get the second basement and play straight up and about halfway in the dirt and then then the bunner sees him there and just stops you know there's two ways you could do it you know you if he bunts it soft down the first Baseline you tell as a second baseman you tell the first baseman I got the bag if it's on the line if it's anything buned hard past the pitcher I got it you cover the back that's how you defend it one ball two strikes to Luis Ras and instead of throw over but normally when you when you pinch your second baseman like that they don't do it no matter who they are they don't do it it's like looking at third and seeing the guy on the grass the third baseman on the grass yeah you're not going to unless you're Brett Butler you're not Bunning one and two and the pitch home arz swings and lops it into left field routine for Reynolds and he'll make the catch to end the inning Padres get run on the home run by Merill and through an inning and a half it's two to one p on the Pirates Radio Network [Music] [Music] oh my this Ball's crushed to deep left back on it is Donovan it's out of here first big league Homer for James Wood a three-run shot to the opposite fields and the 21-year-old will Circle the bases putting his team on top here seven to nothing Elevate to celebrate and James Wood demolishes this ball there it [Music] is how do you like this start to the second half of this season the Pirates are over 500 they've come back and probable Win Second inning brought to you by South Hills irrigation and turf our Grass Is Always Greer Pirates two Padres one Jared Olo will lead it off Michael a Taylor and then Andrew McCutchen outside ball one from Michael King who unfurled 33 pitches in the first inning give up a couple of runs here's a 1 and it's outside two balls and no strikes since his final start in may he's given up more than two runs once here's a two- from him and a strike oh boy did he get a break there he he's all over the place with the fast ball again I don't know if he's just trying to paint corners but that pitch missed by 4 in but he got the call struck out the first two hitters you faced 2-1 is grounded to third big hop for Machado flings it low and Solano can't backhand the in between hop so triolo is going to head all the way to third base on a routine ground ball to Third and the Padres are again coming through with pretty ribbons and beautiful shiny wrapping love it that's just the lazy throw from machata just uh and dropped and down from the side and flicked it over there and had all day and salano unable to handle the Hop and that was an easier short hop too so you know I think we know Machado with a bad throw and a bad effort by salano so a man at third with nobody out with the Pirates already leading 2 to one and a bunt shown by Taylor he'll take that fast ball in for a strike rare three base error machado's fourth error this year Taylor hitting a 198 Windfield comes up most of the way Short Stop step behind the Baseline Taylor is driven in 20 here's the pitch to him swinging liner caught by the second baseman Bogarts one out backed up a step to make sure he had a little more room to field it I almost thought he may have mistimed his jump it looked like he was on his way down when he caught that ball show a man at third now one out and Andrew McCutchen who struck out looking will bat and it's in side ball one McCutchen with a six-game hitting streak getting closer to Ralph ker on the Pirates alltime RBI list he's three shy of tying coner for sixth and an RBI chance right here he'll take a one slider over for a strike now one and one man at third one out that's Trio on the error here's the pitch swinging a Tapper foul one ball two strikes yeah it's going to be so funky for a right-handed batter trying to pick up this ball and that was like a two seam fast ball it ran in off the plate even the sweeper that he threw for strike one starts at the right-handed hitter Machado playing back at third the pitch swinging a miss and McCutchen strikes out so after a man third and nobody out now there are two outs and Trio still there at third here is Brian Reynolds who struck out his first time yeah he helped them too I mean that pitch was about shoulder height Andrew swung through Reynolds hitting 326 with runners in scoring position he lobs one into left field that'll be down for a base hit Brian Reynolds comes through with a two out RBI single to left and the Pirates lead 3 to one here in the second wasting no time got to love it that would have been costly to have a runner on third with nobody out and not get that run home I think it was a change up for Reynolds it was a little bit up right on the outside corner maybe a little bit off the plate so I mean that's good hitting when it's up out there I think that was off the plate too now Isaiah ker FFA takes a strike only pirate he trails and triples is Reynolds he's already hit two triples as a pirate that's amazing reyolds has hit three this year see if we can triple him in right here don't really say that man at first pitch swung on hit in the air center field Merill started in now drift back it'll make the catch and the inning ends Pirates pick up a gift run on a very costly era by Machado and we're through two innings it's 3 to1 pirates on the Pirates radio listen I've been following you for a while man bottom line is you get your a swing off and generate a lot of pot I just want to go I'm getting this A to B oh man straight to the ball Barrel hitting the ball is the hardest thing to do I'm a person from o I'm looking for spin I'm not going to lie I'm a I'm I'm going to look for spin but I'm a time up a basketball oh oh if you spin it I'm swinging like if you spin it in the middle I'm going to destroy it here's the drive sucked the other way to left field deep palasio back back back it is gone rapy Des has done it he has set a new Red Sox record by homering in six consecutive games he goes upo against Taj Bradley goodness gracious he is some kind of hot history we're looking at Red Sox history this has never happened in the history of the Boston Red Sox ball hit high in the air to Center hit pretty well sending Jake Myers back still going back near the wall What A Catch by Jake he's done it again Jake Rob Byron buckson and now he takes one away from Riley green Jak go back had taken away some extra basing he had to turn around over his right shoulder into his left shoulder and then leaped up and made the play and he is [Music] pumped AO parts we go to the third inning and that's brought to you by Tri State office furniture the best in the business Pirates own a 3 to one lead over San Diego jerks and profar will lead it off for the Padres Bogarts and then Machado two three and four hitters against Marco Gonzalez the Lefty delivers a change up in for his strike profar flat out in the first inning comes into tonight's action hitting at 342 against lefties he's a switch hitter the pitch swinging a deep foul up the right side home run distance wow I didn't think it would be that hit that far no I was looking in the blue seats like down the first Baseline went up in the first row of the Outfield seats back spun a ball and hit it a little harder than I thought up high one and two now proar got some punch in that bat but he never really hit Gonzalez well he's three for 21 against him in his career here's onew swinging a ground ball to third Hayes right in front of it gloves it and the toss across for the out one away now Hayes took his time set himself and threw right in the chest of tles yeah he had to wait a bit um Rowdy was well off the bound or off the face and uh ke Brian the ball was hit pretty hard so he had to take a couple extra steps just to wait for Ry to get over there but Hayes is procedural that's true here's the pitch to Bogarts and it's outside ball one and that's why like I noticed that too cuz it took a little longer which is uncomfortable when you are so routin likee you know if you're doing things kind of the same way all the time Barts takes low so you know you catch the grounder you gather you get ready to throw and it's like oh he's not here then you gather and then it's like oh but he's so accurate it's no big deal here's the 2- and a strike two and one so even though it's just a little bit off-kilter doesn't look like it everything happens get the out here's the two1 to bards grounded foul up third now even two balls of two strikes he drew a walk back in the first inning Gonzalez needed for some length tonight with Bullpen that was greatly used yesterday so far answering the Bell here's the pitch rounded to second base triolo Scoops it and gets it on the first for the second out don't miss a Miller Light happy hour coming up later on this month the Pirates are going to host the Seattle Mariners on Friday August 16th that gamees at 640 pregame up until first pitch every Friday in the Miller Light Landing Bar get your tickets at pirates.com here's Machado a base hit his only time 3 to one pirates lead swinging a foul back out a fast ball off the plate away at 89 Machado is 549 in his career against Marco Gonzalez here's an 01 missed in with the fast ball one ball one strike so out in here's the pitch down low and away that time with a change up and it's two and one going back and forth starts with a wide open stance the pitch swing in a Miss I don't know if there was a curve ball but something off speed off the plate away just a change up that was Oh no you're right that was a curveball didn't curve his curveball is not really breaking tonight so I'm having a hard time distinguishing the two Mach Macho dropped his Bat and kind of bent over holding his wrist it's two and two on him and the pitch swing and a line drive to center field Taylor backs up and gets him position to make the catch good play by Taylor and that ends the inning we'll go to the bottom of the third and it's still 3 to one pirates on the Pirates radio network present [Music] another hit he's reached in 13 straight plate appearances and 12 hits in that spin 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 but if you go immediately and throw that change up it would be absolutely nasty two two he struck him out there's the change up Terk scoble hangs on to the lead got him Change Up Down strikeout number 12 matches the career high for TK scoble head to the eighth inning Tigers hold on to a 2-1 lead this is what you stay for sh Otani with the game on the line two on Two Out game tied at two here it comes oh con with a base hit to right field we go to the bottom of the third it's 3 to one pirates let's pause 10 for a station break on the Pirates radio [Music] network now Ry tles his two fifths of a swing yielded a run in the first inning first pitch takes a strike on the sweeper in there from Micha O King I like how he put that if if they had appealed his swing and he hadn't made contact they would probably say no swing and yet struck the ball and hit it up the third Baseline for an RBI yeah sometimes it's just better to be lucky than good again the merits of putting the ball in play one ball and one strike to tles now a half swing that time and ruled by the pl umpire Andy Fletcher that he went it's one ball and two strikes to him two sharing a smile yeah you can't argue that cuz he'll say well shoot oh you going to hit a double well hit the bad judging by the rice smile they both had after that Fletcher probably said something like that one to two the count that was T's first career hit against King the pitch outside now two and two now one for seven lifetime he'll be followed by grandal and then ke bran Hayes 22 from King swinging to miss struck him out that's where that good change up really comes into play WoW one out four strikeout that's a good change up just fading down and Away best one he's thrown tonight here's grandall walked in the first switch hitter the pitch inside with the sweeper for ball one ground Doll came up as a padre before they weree brown or after they were brown but before they were around this time back in 2012 strike on a change up off the plate away one ball and one Strike grandal's last eight starts has six extra base hits matching what he'd had for the season prior that's inside two and one so he's in that five spot tonight he's gotten better with the bat as he's played less that's fouled back two balls and two strikes which is hard to do 35-year-old catcher maybe take some of the rigers off of being back behind the plate maybe feeling a little fresher who knows have to ask for that two balls and two strikes here's the pitch down it in tried to change up that time and hooked it it's three balls and two strikes Short Stop Wade playing about up the middle for a grandal batting left here comes the payoff from King and he walked him he's like trying to trick everybody I mean his fast ball is such a good pitch and all he's done tonight is try to trick people he's walked gral twice that we'll take it appreciate it but yeah it's um bizarre throwing the fast ball about half the time for a guy whose fast ball is working really well tonight you would think for instance if falter throws it about 2/3 of the time swinging a foul back and on a night like tonight you maybe think king would be closer to that strike on Hayes he had a two out run scoring single back of the first Inning on a nine pitch at bat grandal's at first with one out 3 to one pirates pitch sweeper outside one ball and one strike and and really hasn't thrown many breaker balls for strikes it's like he's trying to get chased he's afraid of the bat he walked seven in a game this year here's a 1-1 and that's low two and one missed with a fast ball low first start of the year he walked seven batters in four Innings it's a long he's one of the best at generating soft contact so you wouldn't think that he's trying to miss bats I don't think there's a strike two two but yeah he is throwing a lot of off speed and breaking stuff yeah even there it's a right on right change up two and two on Hayes in the pitch swinging a ground ball slowly hit the third bare handed by Machado and he throws a strike on the first to get Hayes gr doal advances second with two away that's a heck of a Play Do or Die yep got a bare handed get rid of it get him by half a step yeah faster runner might beat it out but Machado had to make the play and he did that so two outs man in scoring position for Bay who grounded out his holy time three to one the Pirates lead here in the third here's the pitch swinging a tap foul opening up on that low change up and strike [Music] one pirates 3 San Diego 1 were in the third in Pitch strike Edge fast ball nothing at two on gwan Bay and King U you know we keep adding on here able to beat him it'd be his first loss on the road since April 23rd he been great on the road that was 6 and0 with a 184 erra since April 23rd yeah scoring three runs against some huge feet the pitch guided up first and Solano fields and no one over to cover keep it going guys we'll appreciate it they are very very generous tonight this Padres Squad San Diego nice I mean it's just the one misc after another yeah Michael King things just jogging over there no interest and a very good athlete he made a great play to retire Bay back in the second inning had to go uh I guess never mind the end the first inning King had to go into foul territory made a throw across the body and on that one he just was just jogging to First and um not knowing the speed of the runner apparently yeah he just assumed my guess is he just assumed that the first baseman was going to be able to catch it and and beat the runner of the bag but no chance of that Reuben nebla the pitching coach is out and B through ran a 389 wow to first base 3.89 seconds that's going to beat a lot of guys fastest hit this year for Bay fastest running [Music] would rank in the 100 percentile for the season throughout baseball here's triolo toss over the first Bay back he can run obviously three steals in limited action we so often see first in third two outs nowadays teams don't even throw down anymore if you try to steal second higashioka has thrown out 29% here's the pitch High number tied him up with an inside fast ball and triolo's down a strike that right side is wide open to for triolo Solana Solano holding on the runner Bogart's playing about up the middle here's an 01 there goes Bay pitches a ball throw down is high and the tag is applied on the backside and they get Bay on a strong throw by higashioka and that gets the Padres out of the inning with the second basement covering so we go to the fourth it's still 3 to one pirates uh the Pirates well let's see here hold on Pirates may I thought he was out but yeah he is all right we'll go to the fourth on the Pirates radio network presented by IC light can you see yourself in the seat of a tower crane changing the city skyline hanging off a cliff constructing a natural gas Josh Taylor there's a high drive deep center field it's not coming back all the way into the bullpit Josh Naylor with his second home run in his many games center field deep let your back on the track out of room out of here back come the Guardians on one swing of the bat by B Naylor the Home Run Brothers for Cleveland here in the four [Music] yes to right center field at Deep on its way and it is gone at Fenway Park Mike gky and how about your son hitting a homer yky at thway that just feels right pretty cool W and even Red Sox fans not all of them but even Red Sox fans are giving him a cheer [Music] hey yordon hits one high hits one deep in Mexico it's gone for a two- run home run the big man makes it a 3-2 game as thanks for there was no doubt they were throwing down I mean you're not going to try to steal home with ground do at third base so you know they're not going to be worried about throwing a ball through I mean it's a no-brainer the only thing that scores ground all is if they throw the ball in center field and um you know the tag well before uh bay got to the bag kind of slid sideways his right foot right hand was past the bag his left hand was still a foot and a half before it first pitch strike to Donovan Solano from Marco Gonzalez yeah it's weird he has the oven met on the right hand the right hand was past the bag when the tag was put on and his left hand was a foot before the bag down and in with a curve missing one one ideally you want to slide and and and reach the bag with the hand closest to the bag but instead it caught stealing to end the inning after King had thrown 21 more pitches that one's fouled one ball two strikes on Solano so he's at 67 through three Innings 3 to one pirates leading with Solano Merill and then higashioka here in the fourth Gonzalez the left-hander on a onew swing and a liner in the left that'll dump down for a base hit cut off from the corner by Reynolds Solano at 36 does not run well so just a single for him to start the fourth inning coming up on Saturday August 17th the Mariners will be in town it's a 105 game and the first 20,000 will take home a '90s themed Pirates t-shirt featuring Andrew McCutchen on that Saturday afternoon game get your tickets pirates.com free t-shirts now Merill who hadit a long home run to center field his first time up here's the pitch to him and he takes a strike yeah that was some impress impressive pop you don't see many balls up in the hedges here at PNC debuted at age 20 now has turned 21 up high one ball one strike you go up and down this lineup and you look at Machado he came in when he's 20 Bogart's 20 profar 19 they have had some terrific talents many debuting of course with other teams but you get the idea swinging a deep foul down the left side I had Juan SoDo last year debuted at 19 and um I'm going to assume that he buns for hits cuz we were playing way in on the grass in third base side which I like you got some pop play center field you total package don't be up there just swinging for the fences you drop down a bun if they give it to you here's a one-w they'll take just off the plate away fast ball at 89 and it's two balls and two strikes that's that pitch where it's very hitable it's off the plate but it's not a bad pitch to hit pitch to Merill swinging a ground ball on toward first trickling off taz's glove Merill with good speed will beat that out and Solano will advance to Second May base hit two on and nobody out for higashioka big home run hitting catcher yeah that just kind of in between hop Rowdy was kind of falling to his right and like a little bit of a short hop came up hit the thumb of his glove and trickled away he comes up with it he has a play at second right-handed batter higashioka swings and hits one in the air to deep center field Taylor back still back and there it goes home run three-run shot for higashioka and that erases the Pirates lead it's 4 to3 San Diego that is his 13th home run since June for the Padres catcher that one hurts and I think this the the way the ball's carrying it might have the the reverse effect we were talking about some wind blowing in from Center you might be getting that wind and it's like hitting the the the stands behind home plate and pushing back out towards SE Center cuz that didn't look or sound like a home off the bat and it jumped out of here 14th home run for higashioka there's a strike to Bryce Johnson hit that change up out here's an 01 to Bryce Johnson and he'll take inside buned his way on his first time around one ball one strike 420 ft 104 off the bat didn't sound like it yeah he hadit it better than I thought yeah here's a one downed in two balls at a strike on the curve and you might be right it might still be Ed eding the wind cuz if we feel it up here blowing at us but again some of these ballparks it'll kind of go right back out Johnson takes inside on a fast ball three and one couple of home runs tonight for the Padres Merill and higashioka off Marco Gonzalez 43 Padres now San Diego first lead of the night pitch is low in a walk no one has been put out in the inning a man on for the number nine hitter Tyler Wade and that will

it'll be Wade left-handed batter 43 Padre's fourth inning Hayes plays in on the grass at third and the pitch buned High Chopper toward the mound Gonzalez Fields throws the first and the out recorded with triolo covering Tes was also there at the bag uh great job for uh triolo right there cuz triolo got to the bag Rowdy wasn't Rowdy started charging in case that got by Gonzalez so triolo went right for the bag and and yelled for Rowdy to get out of the way and uh cuz if if Rowdy catches that he's safe at first but because Rowdy got out of the way ducked his head the throw went to triola who was standing on the back so it was nice job by him sacrifice one to four fourth sack for Wade outside ball one to Luis oras the National League hits leader batting with a band at second one out oras hitting at 396 with runners in scoring position here's the 1 to the Lefty outside two and0 with a cut fast ball two five balls the left guys that have this kind of hitting pedigree are usually really good at keeping it out of the air the other way cuz the air the other way is typically about 20- Pitch swing and a drive out to Center Taylor was playing in he'll back up near the track and make the catch Johnson can tag and head to third but now two men are out three flyball outs for Aras tonight and that brings up jerkson profar who is a 367 hitter with runners in scoring position but is 0 for two tonight credit Marco Gonzalez he's retired Aras and profar all five times and he's faced him two of the leading hitters in the National League 43 San Diego here's the pitch swing and a looping foul to the right had a strike one on proar with Johnson at third three in on the higashioka home run two outs in the fourth here's the 01 at a strike boy that's center cut 89 right down the middle thigh high looking for something else most likely two strikes on proar Gonzalez ready and the pitch swinging a bouncer foul up Third Base way still nothing into on jerks and profar here's the set the pitch swinging a foul down and the way change up spoiling that Padres last night had eight hits with two strikes on him and a lot of hits the other way still nothing in two on profar Johnson at third two outs here's the pitch and it tried the fast ball just missed up and in one and two I like it you know with two strikes crowd them that'll get him from looking out over the plate here's

foul territory right side and it'll drop into the seats two strikes on Bogarts here in the fifth inning brought to you by local Union number five of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers two strikes Gonzalez starting the inning at 73 pitches left-hander on an 02 to Bogarts left it up fast ball at 89 one and two so only twice has have we seen a season like what McCutchen has done 14 home runs by a pirate who started the year at age 37 on opening day or older outside 2 and two there was a man who hit 28 home runs and a man who hit 32 home runs at age 37 or older on opening day as a pirate swinging a flyball to left Reynolds over and makes the catch one out Willie oh yes that's it starel in 78 starel in 79 McCutchen in 24 three highest home run totals by a pirate AG 37 or older on opening day here's Machado one out of two ball one tell you what I I don't ever remember seeing Brian Reynolds playing that deep and left that ball was hit pretty well by Bogarts and uh Reynolds went over and in he's way back there taking a page from lordis guel Jr perhaps swing in a miss one ball and one strike the Arizona left fielder playing very deeply in that preceding series and then the series before that the Pirates were in Houston where Reynolds was playing well off the line because of the Crawford boxes ball toward the mound cut off by Gonzalez throwing off balance and that throw will go AR but no further advance for Machado he's content at first and so a man on should be a base hit for salano coming up Hunter Stratton is warming a rander in the Pirates Bullpen where where Brian Reynolds is playing um both Bogarts and Machado he'd be under the Crawford boxes in Houston he'd be in like the scoreboard he'd literally be out of play underneath them yes it's funny how each ball park has different configurations Solano is one out of two today and the pitch strike on a fast ball off the plate away at 89 44 game Padres batting in the fifth B at first one one out and

check swing fell into the mask of the catcher grandall yeah you can hear it Ting from our crowd mik 86 pitches for Gonzalez just for shy of his season High here's a one-w fast ball strike three call right over the outer edge 88 mph from Marco Gonzalez yeah that's a be yeah those are the pitches that it seemed like these Padres were slapping the other way last night and for every pirate strikeout in August coppers donates $50 to March for babies here's the pitch to Jackson Merill who's Homer tonight out in front of a curveball foul tip and a strike Homer and an infield hit hay will back up a step at third behind the Baseline the pitch swinging a dribbler foul and an away cutter two strikes move toward the end of the bat 44 pandr batting in the fifth Machado at first stationed there with two outs he's going to take off the pitch is a ball throw down and he's in there easily he made it look like he didn't have any interest to going anywhere and he picks up stolen base number six yeah just going first movement yeah that's leg gets kicked up there and it's funny just watching him too not like not even like he's running hard he just kind of trotten looks in says I got this and the pitch swinging a liner into right base hit Bay will play it on a hop get the throw home and it'll go through but sliding head first Machado scores on the two out two strike hit by Jackson Merill he's three for three tonight and the Padres Rec claimed the lead 5 to four here in the fifth well the timing is everything there you know with Machado you're not expecting them to go anywhere then he sneaks a stolen base and uh this Ball's hit hard out there to gwan Bay came in charging and throw just wasn't strong enough well one strike away from getting through five in a tie game with a chance to maybe even get the win now the Pirates are trailing and Marco Gonzalez will depart this pitching change is brought to you by Valve Valene Instant Oil Change visit your neighborhood Valvoline for a stay inyou car oil change done in about 15 minutes no appointment needed e e Bullpen is limited is in terms of how many innings you got down there and Straton two and slugging under 300 imagine that for a whole season right for an individual player that's what Stratton does for the whole season against rties but this righty lines a base headit bredwell with two outs merrow easily getting the third and so a two out single by higashioka gives to Padres a new opportunity with men at the corners for Bryce Johnson coming up and maybe yes they will lift him here for David Peralta as they did last night in the fifth inning boy that uh just effortless speed too by that Jackson Mero I mean that ball was hit hard and to the left of center towards Michael a Taylor but I mean he was so quickly around second no shot just got first to third in a hurry so as we saw last night Peralta pinch hits for Johnson he got a pinch hit in the fifth inning last night veteran left-handed batter longtime Diamond Back who played for the Dodgers last year and strandon has to stay in this is only a second batter so left he's conversely hit 351 against him and slug over 500 so that's why Mike schil makes the move in part two on and two out a run in Padre's leading 5 to four here in the fifth inning Stratton sets he'll come on home and deliver a little bit low with a fast B at 96 ball one David Peralta hitting at 236 with three home runs 1 oh there's a strike on a cutter gets a call Peralta just looks back and Andy Fletcher well off the plate inside one and one the count the pitch down it in slider two and one on David Peralta so he's seen everything fast ball cutter slider Merill good speed at third higashioka on it first rondall got to keep the ball in front of him here with that speed s third and two outs a run in here's the 2-1 swinging a tap foul on that inside cutter two and two to the Lefty batting per yeah that's what makes that pitch tough if you're uh getting that call off the inside corner in you got a swing on it there's really not a whole lot you can do with it pull it foul a jam shot the first here's a 2-2 way high and Away on a fast ball three balls at two strikes Stratton will ask for a new baseball yeah I mean lucky that didn't go to the back stop I mean that thing snow ConEd into the ground doll's glove first and third two outs a run in 5-4 San Diego we're in the fifth inning 3-2 pitch ball four and so Stratton walk Peralta he must remain in for at least one more hitter Tyler Wade left-handed batter who has reached on a fielder's choice and a sacrifice jayen beaks was warming earlier left-handed pitcher AR is the left-handed batter on Deck Wade is a left-handed batter here's the pitch and there's a strike but by rule three batter minimum he got to face three so Stratton again another Lefty and he'll face here 54 San Diego with the bases loaded the pitch Wade hits it on the ground toward the second baseman triolo and tles abandoned the spot and it's Straten on the spot to get over and cover first base the call is out Mike schil Will will undoubtedly think about it nope he won't he knows there's an out there so what a heads up play by four we'll go to the bottom of the fifth at the Pirates radio network presented by IC life [Music] Brett Rooker joining the show in studio we're going to talk hitting what are you thinking right here that's 95 at the very top and I at least foul it off so I know I I know I can cover it if I make that same move and have that same mindset I can cover the fast ball at the top and if I can cover that fast ball at the top and at least fou it off with two strikes and I know I'm on the rest of the pitches and I know I've got I've got time to adjust to it can we get a side view one of this one of the side views back up and I think God he's going to work here I know he's definitely ready here he comes he's ready man seven up seven down all be of the strikeout for SK 11 strikeouts for skes six

they're trailing 5 to four to San Diego five of the last seven Pirates losses have been by a single run here's the pitch a little bit High two balls at two strikes throughout him might have been in the strike zone but ruled as such oh that's right there well now two and two King delivers swinging a Miss struck him out on a low change up and now two are out sixth strike out for King yasmani grandal has walked both times they' like to try to find a way to get a run across um they're close to go to that Bullpen gral had walked seven times this year twice tonight there's a strike on a big sweeper he hasn't walked three times in a game since 2021 here's an 01 from King delivers outside with a change of pace one ball and one strike Pirates Trail 5-4 here in the fifth they've gotten at least a hit in every inning against King here's a 1-1 down and in it's two balls at a strike yeah I'm pretty sure the game plan is not to throw grandall fast ball First Strike cuz they've been very very careful with him here's the pitch tapped foul I mean they've been pounding fast ball is pretty good and I don't I I don't know if we've hit a fast ball hard this whole game but yeah grandall getting a steady diet of off speed stuff two balls and two strikes and the pitch strike three call on a fast ball right on the inner Edge grandal disputing its location we'll go to the 6th 54 Padres

second in the league in batting average leading in hits pitches low one ball and one strike he's been an Allstar each of the last three years with three different teams isn't that odd maras was with the Padres for the allstar game this year the Marlins last year and the twins the year before that yeah fouled back one ball two strikes that is some kind of hitter [Music] seems different than a lot of the hitters today just in a style from this uh Layman's perspective the pitch tapped foul how do you see it see his style yeah there his style of hitting it seems different to me than a lot of the other guys you see these days it's kind of just an old school style I mean I I see a mold of like a Wade bogs and a Tony Gwyn and you know guy that could just spray the ball around here's a one-w swinging a bouncing ball on the second triolo collects it and the toss on the first is true for the out you not up there swinging for fences he's looking for hits I'm sure he grew up wanting to hit 300 not 30 homers and so he works on his craft and works on being efficient with his swing and using the whole field r one out now proar 0 for three takes a strike down and the away cut fast ball from Hunter Stratton 5 to four San Diego has the lead the Pirates will get Jaylen beaks warming back up again here's the pitch and that's down low one ball one strike got a string of righties up but Merill would be to up six this inning profar switch hitter here's the 1-1 and a hit him wow you could hear that all the way up here where did that get him the knee outside the right knee and he's down and he's unhappy he got hit with a 95 mph fast ball he's trying to stand up and he's just writhing in in pain and Bo GS is and his manager Mike shil trying to get him to sit down and boy the whole bunch of Padre's people are around him right now and now they get him to sit down so they can look at that right knee man he is wincing that's a bad spot the ball carum so far off of his knee as well Prof far down after getting hit with a pitch yeah and then and now they're out there and they're squeezing on it and he's just you know like leave it alone you see if there's a a crack in there see if we can make this hurt worse oh that's what I mean it's like yeah it hit me in a knee what what's the what's what use is it to press on it other than to make it hurt more he's still down behind home plate being looked at while profar gets checked out let's pause 10 for a station ID here on the Pirates radio network I get Prof far back up to his feet and polite Applause and uh slowly walk in the direction of first base I don't know if he's going to go to make a right turn into the Dugout or stay in the game now he's grabbing a helmet oh yeah and embarking and saying no I'm staying in he's angry judging by his reaction I thought there might be something broken so did the athletic training staff it seems to have passed inspection it's very painful right on the right side of the right knee hit by pitch with a fast ball the ball in the bouncing into the stands after hitting it may it may have I remember it it bounced very far I stopped the following its flight though quite possible wouldn't be great if he just takes off trying to run there's the pitch outside ball one I thought it would be great if Stratton threw over he's kind of limping a little bit getting back to first base I wanted to see Stratton try a pickoff throw right there just in case he was thinking that he's looking over there yeah get him to twist that leg a little bit here's the pitch swing and a liner over second into Center base hit profar jogs and limps to second base he's not right he's limping really badly right now I I don't know how he can continue Bogarts with a base hit and that's again another breaking ball in the outside corner that he just goes with stays on it and they're going to send who is that that's Mike schil coming out Mike schil is going to get another look at him proar say go back no he he limping the second basee but what are you going back out there for just send him pinch Runner a pinch Runner yeah what are you got to talk him into it you're the manager yeah so another delay we're taking you out of this game say come out yeah I mean he started to jog and then once he pushed off that leg a few times he was limping into second base and then turned around the bag and then limped gingerly back into the bag so clearly he's not right and wanted to stay in the game but cannot so he'll be lifted for a pinch Runner here with the B at second base so profar is out after getting hit by a pitch in the right knee he's the left fielder Hassan Kim who has been battling a triceps concern will pinch run so doesn't have to run with his arms see if he stays in the game if that tricep is doing better here's Machado with two on Pirates down a run 5-4 Padres batting in the sixth Hunter Stratton delivers and a breaking ball inside for ball one big slider machado's two out of three tonight always dangerous hitter he's hit 10 home runs in his last 30 Games Padre's with 10 more hits tonight here's a 10 and that's down low two balls and no strikes yeah you got to be careful uh you know he's in a good hitters count there's guys out there it's a one-run game you got to limit them that buol Pen's too good to give them any more runs here's the pitch and a on a cutter two and one four of the six that Straton is faced have reached beaks is up for a second time and ready if needed here's a 2-1 in the dirt three balls and a strike on Machado with Donovan Solano who had four hits and four RBI last night he's on deck Kim the pinch runner at second Bogart's on at first here's the set and a 3-1 swing and a popup first base side big out tles toward the screen makes the catch for the second out Machado fouls out to first that's a big out now salano this will probably be stratton's last batter got the Lefty Merill on deck and Stratton could get the Pirates through this sixth inning down a run two are aboard for shano one for three tonight right-handed batter here's the pitch and it's just off the plate away ball one at 94 Kim hopping around there at second base just into the game as a pinch Runner trying to get loose here's a 1 swing and a foul yeah good spot for that breaking ball breaks just off the outside edge one and one on Donovan salano Jeremiah Estrada rander getting up in the San Diego pen Stratton wants a new baseball usually means the sliders coming when a pitcher wants a new baseball some sort of breaking pitch usually bigger seams here's the one-1 swinging a Fly ball out to right field and caught on the Run by gwan Bay and that saved a run as he Dove toward that ball and caught it and that end in the sixth inning with the Padres stranding two we'll go to the bottom half and it's still 5 to4 San Diego on the Pirates radio network presented by IC light you like to play it cool libra but you can see the postseason on the

National League here's the 1 Hayes is swinging a Miss on 97 one ball and one strike Hayes Bay and triola have struggled against high heat but if it gets to Taylor who's du up fourth this inning he has really excelled lately with high velocity and that's fouled away one ball two strikes hay tonight and RBI single back in the first Pirates Trail 5-4 in the sixth inning Pirates have lost four of five for the first time since May 7th through the 12th they had not lost more than three out of five game span since then that's how consistently they've been there's a line drive up the middle base hit a 97 he turned it around solidly for a single to start the inning impressive big wide open middle of the diamond and basically went right over the bag at second base scalded lead off man is on for Bay he's had an infield hit tonight in two trips machata way in at third in the pitch slapped foul off to the left 97 coming down and in in a strike on G1 Bay that was a 106 off of haz's bat he has the ability to to get some exit velocity here's an 01 off of the glove of higashioka his eighth pass ball this year that leads all the baseball wow yeah that was just a Clank it was a split that just um just clanked off the thumb of his glove he almost missed it completely it almost hit him in his mask barely got a piece of it with his glove now Hayes at second with nobody out and a 1-1 swing in a Miss twirling on that down and Away splitter one and two strata a right-handed pitcher handles lefties very well they hit just 164 against them he got that high velocity and that split uh man that's a lethal combination that's why he has so many strikeouts struck out every batter he faced yesterday here's a one-w outside two and two all [Music] three once struck out 13 in a row this year spanning several outings nothing else in between two and two on Bay with hay at second nobody out and the pitch swing and the Miss struck him out but the ball got away from higashioka and Bay reaches first and Hayes advances to Third and the gifts continue it's been some kind of ugly game for for the podr uh just another one that just again how headit off the thumb of his glove I don't know if they'll give it a wild pitch it should be a pass ball and now here comes O'Neal Cruz no bat for Jared triolo here with Runners at the corners and nobody out Cruz did not play Yesterday been ill and show another pass ball and higashioka who leads all the major league baseball with nine pass balls this [Music] year and a long conference here yeah Cruz at lurking waiting for the opportunity to use him and Cruz coming up golden opportunity here first and third nobody out San Diego has a 5-4 lead in the sixth Jeremiah Estrada rander comes set here's the pitch swing and a miss on the splitter strike one and that's going to be the combination the high fast ball and the split the rander comes set Cruz pinch hitting for triolo and an 01 one in the dirt another splitter that time one ball and one strike yashioka able to Coral that so single pass ball strikeout pass ball and a one-1 count on Cruz pinch hitting Pirates down a run sixth inning Estrada sets here's the pitch strike fast ball at the belt over the outer edge one and two yeah I mean that's a pitch out over the plate with those arms extended here's the pitch fouled back and that time left the splitter up a dangerous place that that could get hurt it was just off the plate I think that's why he got away with it one and two on O'Neal Cruz pinch hitting for triolo men at the corners nobody out a strata for the Padres come set here comes his onew Cruz takes strength three took a fast ball down the middle of the plate with two men aboard pinch hitting that was pretty much right there crw now 0 for seven as a pinch hitter this year in

that time on a slider and a strike off the plate middle INF Field's back they're playing for two corners Z up now the set here's the pitch swing going to miss another slider two strikes still haven't seen the fast ball Estrada has the first two men on now with one out and in 02 swinging a Miss struck him out got the heat 97 but it was above the zone and Taylor chase boy oh boy oh maybe the catcher

star Joel earlier right-handed version here's a pitch and there's a strike middle at the knees that was impressive Andrew doesn't hit a whole lot of high flyball home runs to the pole side that was a really nice swing stayed through it beautifully man at the corners and the pitch in the dirt and smothered Enough by higashioka it's one ball and one strike you now with two outs it'll be interesting to see if they let Bay go I mean he got caught stealing earlier um with u Hayes at third Machado playing pretty deep unlikely they'll throw through Estrada already with three strikeouts in the inning here's the pitch swinging a miss one ball two strikes and that was um that was by him one and two two pass balls three strikeouts in the inning Pirates hoping for a run or more here's the pitch there goes Bay pitches the ball and there will be no throw down Bay with a stolen base his first tonight so one out of two this evening now a base hit could give the Pirates the lead or a pass ball only two this inning so [Music] far here's the two- two swing in a liner base hit for McCutchen he scores Bay is in easily a two out two strike RBI single for Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates Take the Lead back on Cut's back 65 buckos how about that I that Elite bat speed every time you see him turn it around you just got to say he still has the elite bat speed you know he gets a fast ball that's uh pretty much middle middle I don't care middle middle or not you know it's 97 98 mph and with two strikes he just flicks the wrists like we've seen him do thousands literally thousands of times and uh

at 200 a 167 average against the sweeper closer in Japan for the rakatan golden eagles the pitch swinging a Tapper up third and'll go foul and still two strikes on Brian Reynolds pirates with two singles in the inning is good enough for two runs discounts the two passed balls and the important stolen base by Bay they didn't throw down two strikes Matsui the left-hander coming home swinging a foul saved 236 games over 10 seasons in Japan that's pretty good signed a 5-year deal with the Padres two strikes McCutchen at first two outs and the pitch Fly ball into Center down for a base hit McCutchen advances to Second and Reynolds keeps it going with a two out two strike single yeah I'll take a page out of the Padre's book it's a splitter it's uh out over the plate you know maybe borderline off the plate away it just keeps the hands back flips it in the shallow Right Center pretty pirates with nine hits tonight two extra base hits McCutchen's home run and ker ffa's triple in the first he back bats now and ker FFA takes high and away for ball one higashioka very active sixth inning had to come out of his Crouch Estrada struck out three in 2/3 of an inning will not allow an earn run here's the pitch outside 2 [Music] and0 yeah those pitch not competitive and he's going to get a visit from his pitching coach Here Comes Ruben neaba now the Pirates have not gone away easily the Padres took a 4 to3 lead with a three- round home run by higashioka in the fourth and higashioka has two passed balls in this inning playing a part why the Pirates have scored twice so if this were hockey was he a plus one something like that yeah well that's what you'd say a chance with the gapper here to be a minus got McCutchen on his second Reynolds Trails him at first two and0 on Isaiah coner FFA 1 for three hitting at 367 with runners in scoring position 2 from matui swinging a foul yeah went with uh the slider there how quick is he HED and your wait for another pitch or it

the second baseman to take care of that one out first time that Merl's been retired today Stratton win an inning in 2/3 without allowing a run and he is the pitcher record for the Pirates yeah very good work for Stratton here's higashioka it takes outside for ball one right-handed batting Padres catcher two out of three tonight he hit a three-run go-ahead home run in the fourth one is down in

why not if you're pinch hitting look for a Fast Ball and Let It Fly tough roll especially if we get one out over the plate Runners on got to drive them in here's the pitch swinging a Miss struck him out on the fast ball in there one out a r is Chapman starting to loosen in the Pirates Bullpen here is yasmani grandal all for one with two walks, 528 and ball one outside from Yuki Matsui don't often see a pitcher where number one but I can think of one other Padre that did McKenzie Gore oh comes the M another Lefty here's a 1 down low 2 and0 but beside him I I can't think of any off the top of my head I don't know but what I find interesting is you know the Padre's are rela atively young franchise not many retired numbers a lot of low numbers on the backs of these Padres the frier only one single digigit number is retired for the Padres there's a strike two and one number six that's right warn by grandal right now didn't wear it as a padre belongs to Steve Garvey great first baseman here's the 2-1 outside missing three balls at a strike to grandall other retired numbers of course Tony Gwyn Dave Winfield Trevor Hoffman and Randy Jones the Lefty the early Padres days here's the pitch swing in the liner caught at third by Machado for the second out two are gone and and Hayes a two out of three night shaping up he'll come to the plate drove in a run back at the first inning I will have guess I don't know if I have any of these right guess Gwyn was 17 19 19 dog on it I'm going to guess Winfield was 41 31 oh on it you're getting getting close on each of these pitch swinging a roller on to Third and maano clings this cross the diamond to get Hayes and the inning ends Hoffman 51 Randy Jones 35 eighth inning coming up Pirates 6 s we do not mess up your name we pride we pride ourselves here on MLB Central that's right right on getting them right we have a little game for you are you ready lowl had his first big league hit against Nathan avaldi wow no oh your first knock avaldi off the end of the bat nice one though what were you thinking right there oh you your that doesn't count you ever hit have you ever hit a thousand for a year there you [Music] go Paul SK you know all about him the number one overall pick in the country just last year out of LSU he's getting ready to warm up today and get ready to throw up that first pitch boy that's just nasty that's a back door curve ball there's an 02 swing and a miss he struck him out seven strike outs for Paul skin is two all is in the center field and that's the ball game what a game it was a jam of a game goes to the Dodgers in 11 Innings TK Hernandez the choice got it here and it was Will Smith that ended it darned if you do darned if you don't and that's life against the topd LLY boring since 1865 PNC Bank National Association member FDIC moving to the eighth inning and the pirates in the lead 6 to5 Conor Joe will stay in the game to play first base and now on the mound for the Pirates it is the left-hander r is Chapman Chapman 4 and4 with a 367 earned run average he's making his 48th appearance he's only allowed 26 hits and 41 and 2/3 Innings he has struck out 67 opponent's hitting just 177 against him and Tyler Wade will be the first try his hand against him a left-handed batter then the Lefty Aras and hang Kim do up third first pitch and there's a strike well the Pirates if they can hold on and win tonight it'll be 74 games where they don't have a three-game losing streak three or more swing it a miss two strikes 98 beat him to the spot yeah that's impressive longest single season streak in franchise history is 76 games and they're almost there I guess they would get there right if they win tonight they can't have a three- game losing streak if they win that's right and then the next two days here's an 02 who in tight 102 mph up and in yeah you wonder how he got out of the way of that I think he was going to get him in the front or back arm not a comfortable advat against the RIS Chapman Wade round a one-w from Chapman late swing and a foul and 100 out over Jacob Scott are the two pitchers in the bullpen for San Diego Jacob is righty and Scott is [Music] Lefty here's a one-w inside missing two and two on the slider lefties hit 144 against Chapman for his entire career here's the pitch swinging a ball poked foul right up the third Baseline at 100 almost icho like is covering slapping running out of the box as he makes contact [Music] and the pitch skips away on that splitter three and two yeah that ball bounced way out in front of Home Plate barely got past the grass well from 02 now to 3-2 on Tyler Wade left-handed batter Chapman ready and the pitch swing and a miss struck him out dispatching him with the slider one out boy what a pitch Wade sold out for the fast ball he didn't get it he got a slider perfectly placed broke great down the middle just above the knee Wade was uh bailing out way out in front of it no chance now Aras who is one for three lifetime against Chapman oh for four tonight takes down low for ballan on a slider to start him 65 the Pirates lead we in the eighth inning one out nobody on Pitch strike one and one now yeah good slider there too right at the knees came in a 305 hitter but 0 for four tonight swinging a foul back 98 down and in one and two yeah we could send them out of here with an average under 300 that's not common he's not under 300 very often here's the set and a one-w pitch almost hit him or maybe did I think he hit him and he swung oh they said he didn't swing that's impossible they're going to give him first base that is impossible that he didn't swing on that that is impossible all the Pirates can do is challenge whether he's hit by the pitch or not they can't challenge the swing or they can challenge whether it get hit the bat and let's see on a replay hit the bat oh it hit the bat and the Shelty Marge manager Derek Shelton out to talk with Andy Fletcher the crew chief at home play umpire and uh they're going to get the umpires to gather so they do not initiate the challenge right away instead asking the umpires to take a look or talk to each other I should say it is the eighth inning that could initiate a crew chief review let's see the call in the field was a batter was hit by the pitch Pittsburgh's Challenger okay now that is going to be a challenge all right so they just didn't do it traditionally there with the signaling this call out a review brought to you by ring central message video phone together Allin one app ring central so they got together to establish now it might have hit his left index finger first yeah uh that that's the only thing that may have come into play it did hit his Bat but it did hit his finger first he's already battling a sore thumb as it is another they look at this in New York yeah it's hard for me to tell he's convinced that it's a hit his finger cuz he's standing on First here comes a call after review the call on the field stands hit by pitch first the first base Pittsburgh will lose their challenge y got a piece of his index figer before it hit the bat it's hard to tell if it really got his finger but there's not enough evidence to say that it didn't and that's why Dereck Shelton insisted on the the call being established on the field fans don't like it they were showing a replay on the scoreboard and when I saw the first replay I did not see the finger move and then the second time I did so it be easy to make it look like well they first blush especially from a scoreboard far away that maybe it didn't hit him but yeah I think you said it perfectly just don't know and so call stands hon Kim batting for the first time and a strike nothing in one marah on it first with one out a 65 game here in the eighth inning Kim a right-handed batter hitting at 223 with 10 homers sees a strike 99 in there nothing of two I guess they're going to boo in between every pitch Conor Joe's trying to get gwan Bay to move toward the line he's shading his eyes from the lights here's the pitch way outside 102 one and two the count Joe keeps looking out there at at Bay now I think he's in the right spot moving toward the line and playing shallow for the right-handed batting Kim here's the set by ralis Chavin of the pitch high and away at 100 two and two on Kim that these fans are angry that puts the tying run on here in the eighth inning with one out two balls and two strikes on Hung Kim toss over to First some Liberties taken by Aras not really a threat to run all that often has four steals now they saw his move it'll be interesting to see if they try to SW swipe one maybe not with this batter but the next the pitch swinging a foul rolled up the first Baseline 98 from Chapman yeah that's the thing about the big velocity from Chapman he got a right-handed hitter and you know it's hard to get the bat head out so there's a good chance you hit it late and roll a grounder through that right side two and two on Kim Aras at first the pitch shattered bat pop first base side Joe Chas it but no chance for anybody to catch that so Kim grabs a new bat it's still two and two Xander Bogarts would be [Music] next one out here in the top of the eighth inning 65 the Pirates lead Andrew McCutchen's driven in three tonight home run time of the game in the fourth inning and then a two-run two out single in the sixth took a one-run deficit and gave it the lead to the Pirates Chapman sets there goes Aras 22 is on a in between hopper pass Hayes and into left field Aras gets all the way to Third and Kim is on at first the tying run 90 ft away as that ball bounded past the Pirates third basem we talk about ke Brian Hayes all the time and his ability to not get caught in between well he got caught in between uh was going to his left and the little in between hop he tried to put himself in a position but as he was going to his left it came up and over the glove the roll at a single [Music] now the tying run can score on a deep enough flat ball the infield position normally and a swing of a Miss late on 98 strike one so if they get a ground ball up the middle then try to turn two get out of the inning with Bogarts one for three single in a walk r at third Kim is the runner at first the pitch allall poked foul down the right field line and Bay sliding into that wall feet first he went in hard against that chain link fence and attempt to catch the ball he's coming up a little yeah I mean he had no play when it hit the netting it hit like 10 ft up in the netting and so and on top of that you don't want to slide and make that catch then the Run scores yeah they tag and they score just let it be two strikes on Ander Bogarts Bart's a four-time allar right-handed batter against the Lefty Chapman ahead two strikes with two on and one out the pitch swinging a foul 101 down in the zone spoiled it really good hitter here and U obviously a really good pitcher probably a future Hall of Famer and Chapman tying run 90 ft away in oras here's the pitch swinging a Miss struck about at and2 just overmatched and again we're talking about a really good hitter Bogarts and he was overmatched this is why the Pirates went out and got rolled as Chapman in the off season moments like this he missed that by a foot that's a really good hitter at the pl too in Bogarts now it's Manny Machado two singles and four tries tonight one for two lifetime against Chapman men at the corners Pirates lead 65 eighth inning two outs here's the pitch Machado late swinging a Miss 101 right down the middle yeah it's almost like he's like here it is um he turns it up a notch when he gets in these situations and it was by him one strike on Manny Machado almost fell down on the follow through righty batter Aras at third with the potential tying run kimet first takes off pitches a strike there'll be no throw down it's 102 right down the middle and he took it but now the go had run in scoring position with two outs and two strikes on Manny Machado [Music] 65 Pirates here in the E Chapman coming home fouled away 103 off the plate pretty amazing Chapman is 36 years old yeah I wouldn't mess with any breaking balls I definitely don't want to bounce anything here two in scoring position with two outs 02 from Chapman swinging a foul off of grandal's mask it was3 right in the center of the dish y it's um man just to even make contact so [Music] impressive B said could give the Padres the lead a strike here the Pirates keep the the lead eighth inning 65 Pirates 0 and two on Manny Machado Chapman coming home down low with 105 mil an hour 105 mph pitch by aralis Chapman that's unbelievable yeah that's why you can't catch it it's 105 needless to say the fastest pitch he's thrown this season the fastest pitch in baseball this season and a onew to Machado strike three Co 105 on the inner Edge 105 milph catches Machado looking and all he can do is bow to the greater RIS Chapman of the Pirates 65 Josh Taylor there's a high drive deep center field it's not coming back all the way into the bullpit Josh Naylor with his second home run in his many games center field deep Letcher back on the track out of room out of here back come the Guardians on one swing of the bat by bone nailer the Home Run Brothers for Cleveland here in the fourth and that will set the stage for Xavier Edwards selfishly looking for a single to complete the cycle toward short adamus has it gets rid of it quick and he's safe it's a single and it's a cycle the second ever cycle in Marlin's franchise history belongs to Xavier here Edwards it took 30 years AR rise and now Edwards feels necessary to be successful visit pmhf os. org to find your career on passion today well you talk about stunning Feats of rers Chapman striking out Manny Machado with a pitch at 105 mph right on the Outer Edge Machado caught looking probably didn't see anything and two in scoring position left stranded ball one by Alec Jacob here with the Pirates leading 6 to5 starting the bottom of the eighth inning Jacob on to work fourth Padre pitcher almost hits Bay with his fast ball at 86 M hour and it's 2 and0 86 mph fast ball yeah follows of Chapman's 105 I mean if you look at 86 that's you know okay 86 and you got to look at 91 91's really hard a pitch clock violation maybe I see two and0 now Bay back in there and assess to strike you're right here's the pitch inside missing with the fast ball dialed up 17 mph slower I'm assuming he's thrown 105 before but um I mean my goodness 3 0 pitch that's a strike I don't have it handy but he has not thrown a pitch like that since his Reds days yeah that's I was guessing it was the Reds that he probably touch that but that's crazy at 36 years old throwing 105 mph not only that here's a 3-1a bay the strike three and two doing it with the tying run and go-ahead run in in scoring position in the eighth inning of a ball game where the Pirates trying to stay relevant in this wild card picture pitch swinging a Miss chased 74 off the plate one out we have a step out 10 seconds for a break on the Pirates radio network try to wrap my head around 105 I I I just can't imagine it fastest pitch in baseball this year there's a strike I mean I've seen 95 a bunch I've seen 100 I I just can't imagine 105 and Cruz hit by pitch you to go from 95 which is a really good arm I I I just I'm trying to picture 10 mph faster than that the fastest clocked pitch that we know of is Chapman's 105.8 to Tony Gwyn Jr who would be down the hall from us but he's off this series that was in 2010 the last time he threw at 105 was in 2016 here's the pitch Michael a Taylor is swinging a Miss in a strike with Cruz at first one out bottom of the a65 Pirates like the difference between 85 and 95 is huge it's like significant so then 95 to 105 I it just doesn't make sense the pitch and that's outside one to1 it's hard to wrap my head around that the ball that Chapman threw was 105.1 he's the only pitcher that we know of to ever throw a pitch that fast in the history of Stack cast leading back to 20 eight and probably ever here's the pitch and that's outside two and one Jordan Hicks threw a pitch at 105.0 and that was 6 years ago that's the last time we saw a pitch at 105 in baseball throughout baseball any pitcher let alone with the game on the line in the eighth inning 21 to Michael a and there's a strike at 87 on the fast ball by Jacob Michael a Taylor rect a uh kind of throws his hands up in the [Music] air um is one pitch after another by Jacob just off the plate away just off the plate away just off the plate away two of them called strikes two of them not 22 Taylor lines it into Center that's down for a base hit Cruz advances to second all it's trying to add on here in the eighth well the Padre's very aggressive with that game yesterday Bull Pen wise using some of their backup type guys and Pirates might be able to score against Jacob here yeah and again you know throw a fast ball by B by him earlier in your bat and sped him up with a change up down the middle right on right change up and Taylor was all over it another pitching visit pitching coach out and um Ruben nebla wearing a path from that first base Dugout this is just the seventh major league game for Alec Jacob from Gaga and McCutchen who is already driven in three tonight we bat with two men on and one out you know what I don't even see anymore I don't even know if it's kept up kept up with on the scoreboard bound visits remaining I think they just abandoned such a [Music] thing so now they'll signal [Music] and McCutchen with three RBI tonight trying to add to the Pirates one run lead here in the eighth here's the pitch that's outside for ball one that that pitch has been a strike almost all night it was uh maybe even on the corner just a couple pitches ago Michael a Taylor was mad with pitch it was even further away here's the sh to the 10 and a swing and a Fly ball trying to tuck that one down the left field Line but'll run out of steam and go foul and that's 74 mph change up it's one ball and one strike likes that right on right change and Jacob one of the longer striding pitchers around so that fast ball plays up a little bit 65 Pirates here in the eighth first and second one out pitch swinging a miss that changes J never got there it's one and two that might have been sweeper excuse me yeah but definitely a breakable learning Mr Jacob here's a onew swing and a miss struck about 88 on the Outer Edge two outs up to Reynolds who will bat for a fifth time tonight Pirates lead six five Reynolds with an RBI single in the second two singles tonight in four tries Cruz the lead runner at second Michael a Taylor on it first P leading 65 benar warming the pitch strike well it just floats up there funky delivery Jacob comes set and his 01 swinging to foul yeah just again floating up there everything just comes in it comes out of his hand and you know the change up and then the sweeper and and just some guys it's so hard to stay back on and then zlip a fast ball in there and it looks like it's 105 or maybe not 95 the pitch Jacob outside one ball and two strikes again I can't imagine what 105 looks like I kiss C 105 mph from Aus chaven back to- back pitches get out of that eighth inning here's onew outside two and two on Reynolds with two on and two out Pirates up a run in the eighth a little surprised he hasn't thrown on the fast ball now Reynolds hasn't seen the fast ball and um yeah again it's funky keeps throwing them the soft stuff in there I would think that uh might be able to recognize that a little bit better I mean I hope he throws him another offe speed pitch I think I like his chances better on that than the fast ball two on and two out 22 coming from Jacob Reynold swings and misses 91 at the top of the Zone struck him out three strikeouts in the inning for Jacob Pirates strand two will go to the ninth David bnar coming on to try to save it 65 Pirates back up [Music] raphaela with a Fly ball right field tagging up it'll be oshida he will Scamper in to score and there's a shot down the line he hooks that one all the way to the track theyy have a day seon double that clears them and that ball is out of here what a day for seon rafhaela there's a drive that one sucked dobeck will score seven rbi's for San rafhaela 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 center field robl back TI game his deep shot here today evens the game.com Progressive Casualty Insurance company and Affiliates not available in all states here we go ninth inning Pirates six Padres five and coming on to try to save it here comes David Bednar David looking for his 21st save is a record of three and three an RA of 506 six this is his 41st appearance just 34 hits in 37 of the third Innings he's walked 11 while striking out 38 opponents he is held to A 233 batting average Donovan salano Jackson Merill and then Kyle higashioka our do up against Bednar and the pitch down low ball one to Donovan Solano on the curve missing Solano is one for four tonight Pirates lead getting six to five Hayes guarding the line at third the pitch strike 92 on an up and in splitter one and one bnar has saved each of his last 19 opportunities now his 1-1 swinging a bouncing ball to Second Conor FFA gloves and throws the first one out like that like getting the lead off guy especially nice easy grounder to the right side now Jackson Merill the P's fine rookie yeah he's a little scary stay away from home run to deep Center in the second inning he has singled twice three out of four evening haaste plays in the pitch is swung on hit high in the air deep right center field to the wall and Jackson Merill ties this game a home run off Bednar in the ninth his second tonight and the Padres rookie erases the Pirates lead it's 66 that's what I mean by uh stay away from them what I'm meaning by that is make him beat you to the opposite field don't give him anything he can pull out of the ballpark and um first pitch fast ball that was up out over the plate and that's some big time power his 15th home run and bnar allowing his seventh he had never he had allowed three last year seven this year and so that ends the streak of 19 saves in a row converted by Bednar the former Padre whole new ball game 66 higashioka who at a three-run home run in the fourth is at the bat now nope excuse me Jake cronenworth will bat for him so they'll bring up cronenworth to pinch hit and he's down a strike cronenworth a 250 batter with 14 home runs batting for higashioka Jackson Merill is second home run tonight and that hit him yeah 98 up and in that is the third Padre hitter hit by a pitch by the Pirates Bullpen tonight yeah third and four Innings that got him right in the back of the elbow pad maybe uh even above it now David Peralta 66 after the game tying Homer by Merill and the pitch outside for ball one Merl's home run measured at 411 ft Robert Suarez the All-Star closer of the Padres is loosening go ahead run on at first in the pitch half swing and a ball down low it's two balls and no strikes and David peralt the left-handed batter second career multi-home Run game for Jackson Merill bednar's long safe streak ends here here's the 2 swinging a Tapper foul two and one first time in his career he has blown four saves in a season yeah boy oh boy yeah that's not that many but that's that's the most for him he's been that reliable going to be 20 for 24 now here's the pitch and it's down low three and one boy that's not a bad pitch missed with 97 and not by much three and one on David Peralta and the pitch swing and a miss splitter down and in three and two such good command of that pitch and Peralta's like looking Dead red fast ball there and so got him out in front of that split tied at six after the Marl Homer here in the top of the knife that a 3-2 Runner goes Ball Four down it in cronenworth at second on the walk two on one out and Tyler Wade is coming up Wade is 0 for three here's the pitch tapped foul and strike one hey way in at third O'Neal Cruz pinching the middle of the field here's the sent of the look toward second instead how about this uh is a Jesse Abrahams our status Edition with stats perform tells us Jackson Merill is the sixth youngest Pirates opponent to ever have a multi-home run game against the Pirates you think about how long the Pirates have been around here's the 01 swinging a foul back at two strikes the youngest ever melot Hall of Famer Willie Mays number two on that list Orlando sepa I mean some great hitters W those are some great names V Pinson came close to 3,000 hits in his career and then Jay Bruce the fifth youngest back in 08 the only decent player Jackson merrow at age 21 the sixth youngest tying the game pitch swing in a Miss struck him out on the breaking ball and some side to side movement on it striking out Wade for the second out and now Aras already in the batterers box yeah and no hits in his five plate appearances and um he has been hit with a pitch but very dangerous hitter Ras left-handed batter waiting and the pitch they'll take a [Music] strike cronenworth is the go-ahead run at second Peralta Trails at first with two outs game tied on maro's home run Bednar working the ninth and here's his 01 swinging a little pop up the middle diving stop by odal Cruz that keeps the game tied on that headlong Dive by Cruz moving to the right side of the diamond to make a terrific snare and that ends there it is [Music] how do you like this start to the second half of this season the Pirates are over 500 they've come back an improbable win fair child high fly deep left Center off the wall here's the throw to the pl inside the park over as fast ball 214 against his change up bringing them in here they don't not have the lead obviously so not a save opportunity overall he is 6 and one with a 144 earned run average over 43 appearances with 24 saves on the year he's only allowed 28 hits in 43 and 23 Innings struck out 43 he's walked eight opponent B 181 against them kusano comes in to catch and so now the Padres exhaust their position players Suarez to face Isaiah ker FFA Connor Joe and then yasmani grandon pirates with a win get back to over 500 the Padres with a win they've come in winners of 12 with the last 14 will continue their roll sink the Bucks to one under pirate score they win here's the pitch Connor FFA with a base hit right back up the middle turned around 98 with a solid single to Center and the winning run is on with nobody out yeah he knows what's coming and so he shortens it up you know certain guys could just gear it up for velocity and he shortened it up as a fast ball inner third pulls the hands in man that's a nice looking swing he's on for Conor Joe the Pirates have Joey Bart and Brian Del La Cruz on their bench the pitch swinging a ground ball up the middle right to the bag and booted by Bogarts 2-1 and nobody out I tell you what I mean credit to the pirates that they've got six runs off this Padre's team against this great pitching team you faced a great starter and King they have a wonderful Bullpen and six runs but the Padre's boy they have made some mistakes that's a u i don't know if they turn two on that but they certainly get the lead runner at second fielders choice and an eror on Bogarts yeah that at least one out would have been recorded and that lead Runner which is the winning run in second base with nobody out for grandall Corners pinch in showing the bunt getting it down toward the mound and the throw to first to get the out as both Corners came in grandal with a sacrifice and now a deep enough Fly ball wins it for the Pirates ground ball through that infield anything I'm very confused by that they were trying to turn a double play that's a great bunt because they brought in both Corners to turn a double play they were going to second that was the only person this they had the the short stop went to second base there was nobody at third there's going to be another Mound visit yeah when when the third baseman charges usually the short stop goes over to Third and you're trying to get the lead Runner that's not what happened the short stop went to Second they thought if they got a hard bunt at somebody they were going to turn two wow that was their plan wow and what's amazing about that I was talking to Donnie Kelly about that play today wow really that exact same play I've always thought if you had the right Runners and you didn't have the wheel on you had the short stop go straight to the bag and if you got a hard bun I wanted that play my whole career never got it and they didn't get it either great bun because he got a great bu down he didn't hit it hard at anybody so grandall moves him up they'll move the infield in fourman Infield Outfield is shallow here's the pitch to Hayes takes low for ball one two out of four tonight drove in a run in the first inning ground ball through that drawn in Infield now they're going to walk Hayes set up a potential double play now with Bay and they've got Bart or DEA Cruz on their bench B also runs well in that Essence tough to double up yeah they're just playing for the force out at home but you face Bay and then Cruise so it's a pick your poison type of thing and the Padre's are way in oh there they go they backing they're backing up a little bit I was just say there's no reason to be way in Pitch timer violation and saying what wait Suarez is saying wait a minute it's on the pitcher and there's going to be an argument with the game on the line here in the bottom of the ninth inning Mike schil comes racing out of the Dugout I don't think ba was ready to hit uh which is irrelevant if the he was in the Box uh I don't know if he was alert to the pitcher and I think well that's I don't really know I don't really know what was happening cuz I was looking over at third base at no this was a a strange thing that happened the other day as [Music] well where Derek Shelton was very unhappy with whatever was called and now he's back out trying to figure out what's going on let's take 10 for a station break on the Pirates Radio Network so Hayes was intentionally walk the bases are loaded with one out Pirates batting in the bottom of the ninth and a 66 tie here at PNC Park umpires are converging near the mound to talk this over they the call was that there was a pitch time R violation yeah base alert to the pitcher yeah oh not at 8 Seconds he wasn't he wasn't alert to the pitcher until there was like 5 seconds left oh yeah I see what you're saying so yeah so semantics here and it's going to I think that's why Machado cuz Machado it's like from his sight line in third that clock is right in front of him so I think he saw that that uh the base stepped in with like five or six seconds yeah he's not alert to the pitcher they 8 seconds you're right and Ba's already been assessed uh pitch violation already tonight I mean you think about this critical moment of the game yeah they got Bard and delic Cruz on their bench they're going to stick with Bay with the base has loaded game on the line here with one out in the ninth and now Andy Fletcher who has had a very busy Series this is just crazy short all this Shout this has been a sojourn of a game with so much at stake this is like the olden days who were at about three almost three and a half hour game at this stage right now for a nine inning game now kind of playoff type feel to right you know Mike Shield's not happy he's barking at Andy Fletcher now the umpires can correct this or rule this on the field and so the pitch clock which is supposed to speed things up is U terribly slow right now and if they were just to go to video or just say you know what we're not going to call it on either you guys let's just play ball um but that won't be the case Connor FFA is at third Joe's at second Hayes is at [Music] first and regardless uh even if ba doesn't get assessed I mean you think about he's already been knocked down a strike tonight and you come in in the bottom of the ninth inning with the bases loaded you know this is the game's on the line you got to be thinking about that kind of stuff I mean this is insane what's going on right here you know Shelton's D Shelton's now um upset about some things but this is this is ridiculous it steals all the momentum from this game this is absolutely ridiculous that this is going on right now make a ruling live with it move on stealing the momentum of this game we're in the bottom of the ninth inning of a Major League baseball game with the bases loaded tie game excitement Galore and we're arguing over whether it's a pitch timer violation on the batter or the pitcher unbel baseball in 2024 and so it's looks like it's going to go against the Pirates because now Derek Shelton is very unhappy which seems to be the correct call but I can understand why he's livid because that was not called like that and yeah he's red with Fury and uh uh bay signaled for a second Pitch timer violation in this game not alert to the pitcher with 8 seconds to go in a critical juncture and again batting [Music] here facing Robert Suarez infield comes up Pitch hit foul and still waiting to hear officially whether that was ruled a ball or not we had no clue yeah no one says anything the umpires have the ability to talk to the entire audience and us I have no idea what the count is pitch is guided toward second Bogarts will come home and get the force two outs in the ninth on a 4-2 put out of Ker left at home the other Runners Advance Joe to third Hayes to Second Bay reaches on a fielders Choice two outs in the ninth and it's up to O'Neal Cruz and here comes Mike Shield out of the Dugout he's going to go with the Lefty Tanner Scott on a pitching change how about that wow that's hard to believe right there taking out his closer to bring in the Lefty wow that that's very unusual right there I'm I'm shocked will stay here and you know the thing is interesting to me 6 weeks ago uh I think that is almost a no-brainer really if you have this kind of game uh nowadays uh with Cruz what he's done since July last 5 weeks or six weeks or so against lefties he's hitting 323 against him slugging 710 against left-handed pitching now I'm not even talking about O'Neil Cruz I'm talking it's crazy to take your clothes around I me I don't care who's hitting you can have you know Willie May or Babe Ruth up there or Barry Bonds you taking your closer out that's why he's a closer you don't match up with your closer your closer comes in and closes I see you know that's what I'm talking about yeah so th this situation and and your closure gave up you know a ground ball up the middle base hit a ground up ground ball up the middle that could have been a double play ball that was booted a sacrifice bunt an intentional walk a Tapper to Second basee that's your closer that's who you go to to close games to finish the deal and now you're taking your closer out to match up I'm I'm shocked at that I really am this can't be right did he only threw six pitches that makes is that right that's what I'm saying I'm shocked he threw six pitches and there were four four batters that he faced one was an intentional walk and so it'll be Tanner Scott for a second straight day against Cruz and actuality he did face five batters cuz he threw a pitch to ke Brian Hayes oh gosh yes you're right yeah before they intentionally walked him so everybody hit first pitch FFA Joe wow or not Joe um yeah Joe yeah Joe FFA Joe grandall Haz or not Hayes Hayes ended up getting walked after taking a ball and gwan Bay hit the second Pitch yeah and Bay was assessed to a strike and so now it's Cruz well this guy is some kind of nasty uh explosive fast ball great slider here's the pitch swinging a foul back on a slider over and a strike he almost feel like you have a better chance against the slider his erra is 131 he holds opponents to a 132 average also an Allstar I'm still shocked he he he took his Clos out though Scott to Cruz with the game on the line the pitch swinging a miss two strikes 99 right down the middle that that that fast Ball's different I mean he's he's got an explosive fast ball base is loaded for the Pirates and obviously he he he's also a closer so when you got multiple closers two outs in the bottom of the ninth the pitch crew hits it up first right at the bag and gloved by Solano he gets the out and we're going to go to Extra Innings it's 66 10th coming up on the here's the guy that brings more oo and eyes than any of them and Sh Otani 3-1 sh Otani first Dodger home run okay you can sign it it's a signature a worth the wait and it got out in the blink of an [Music] eye again Blanco one pitch away ground ball duban throws the first no hitter ronal Blanco in his eighth career start the 30-year-old makes Magic on April Fool's Day today he makes history [Music] unbelievable now three wins four losses a 307 earned run average in uh 43 appearances he has worked 41 Innings he's allowed 35 hits 20 walks 47 strikeouts and his batting average against is 227 that was a nine-pitch inning by the way with two different pitchers all that arguments all it took 15 minutes to throw how many nine nine wow the Holderman will face Kim Bogarts and Machado here's the pitch there's his strike in Extra Innings the Pirates are seven and six the Padres are 4 and one and Holderman in his last four games three losses four home runs allowed six extra base hits eight runs 10 outs outside and now one of one after a terrific start I mean remember at the allar break we're talking about Holderman kind of a border line Allstar oh yeah he's been outstanding up until you know last couple weeks or so here's a 1-1 and it's down low the automatic Runner is Aras at second boy that's 99 uh down at the knees on the inside corner he doesn't get the call I like it I like to see the aggressiveness I like to see the fast ball and pitching off it here's the pitch and that's outside look down so often that's what we see with Colin and you know if you're walking ahead of the Peterson home run here's the 3-1 pitch had a strike three and two got to vote as he should got the chase but somehow just able to get a piece was Kim Pirates tied for the most Extra Inning games among all teams here's a 3-2 and Kim takes ball four so now two on with nobody out here in the 10th remember the automatic Runner Pirates automatic Runner will be Cruz in the bottom of the 10th inning Pirates and Padre's neither team added to its roster after the game yesterday that had that long delay after the middle of the second inning and so of course as it were Extra Innings the next day here is Bogarts and the pitch outside for ball one it would be safe to assume that pirates remaining three relief pitchers they would prefer not to use they were used extensively yesterday the three that the Padres have not yet used very much the same here's the pitch there's a [Music] strike one and one although they might consider one or two of those guys pirates still have Bart and DEA Cruz on their bench the Padres don't have any position players one and one on Bogarts and the pitch swinging a liner in the left base hit Aras touches third he's going to head home throw comes in second and it's going to hold Bogarts to a single but it's a run batted in and it is now 7 to6 San Diego with Kim third yeah and again you got that Runner all the way over the third and you continue to flip up breaking balls this breaking ball stayed up middle and uh you know the 3-2 breaking ball was the walk to the first battery faces this breaking ball just stayed out High [Music] middle here's the pitch to Machado as swinging a foul and so some frustration there he reared back and threw hun down the middle and very late swing very very late swing one strike on Machado who struck out looking on 105 mph his last time up won't tell you who it was it was inside one ball one strike the only man capable first and third nobody out here in the top of the 10th inning 7 to6 San Diego both teams have led tonight a run is unearned to Holderman the automatic Runner the pitch swing liner to Center and Taylor wraps that up for the out Kim scores it's a sacrifice fly and the Padre's lead 8 to six with a man at first and one out in the 10th and again you got a um 99 100 and then you you throw the slider and he hits it right on the button here is Donovan Solano one out of five 86 Padres Pirates will have the tying run up if it stays at this margin when the inning begins inside ball one on a cut fast ball to the rightand batting Solano Bogarts on it first two in for San Diego here in the 10th here's a 1 strike so here's what I'll say about that so I have the information you know the Padre's have the information everybody in baseball has the information you know Holderman you know who averages over 97 mph this fast ball so it's good hitting team there goes Bogarts pitches ground through that vacated right side base hit Bogarts will turn the B and head to third putting him in motion and now the Padres have men at the corners here with one out on the hit by Solano that's pretty heads up right there putting the hit and run on had all that room over there you know and and um it was a fast ball that was like almost a pitch out I mean they think they they they sniffed it out but instead of calling a pitch out they just threw a fast ball Up and Away it was in the left-handed batter's box and he just threw his Bat on it I mean that's that's pretty good job of protecting the the runner and hit hitting it through the hole now Jackson Merill who has hit two home runs tonight including the game tire off Bednar in the ninth four hits three RBIs for the Padres Sensational rookie 86 San Diego in a swing and a miss up and in with a cutter strike one yeah so what I was getting at he he throws his sweeper almost 50% of the time he throws his cutter more than a quarter of the time here's the pitch swing and a looping flyball to left runners tag catches made by Reynolds his throws coming home it's on target the tag and the ball is dislodged he's safe as Bogarts goes back to touch home plate and grandall sacrific that hand and wrist by sticking his glove out at the last minute to try to get Bogarts out at its 96 San Diego he's boy oh boy that was right what a throw what a throw by Brian Reynolds I didn't think he had a shot he came in and just Unleashed a perfect throw two Hopper grandall the throw took him in front and I don't know if it's his hand or his head I mean part of Bogart's thigh hit Grand all in the in the head as well so I mean he's looking at his at his hand but he also got hit in the head and I think I just it looked like he just said I'm all right well that was gutsy sticking his arm out basically with a guy running but that was the only play Reynolds the national league Outfield assist leader they're going to assess an error on grandall for the ball being dislodged by the runner I mean he it it comes out as basically just after he caught it yeah that's a tough call there I would just think it's a sack five in bang bang play at the plate but that's what they rule it for the moment it'll be changed eventually here is kusano batting for the first time tonight 96 San Diego and it's inside ball one and now with it being a three-run cushion Pirates are going to have to have an additional base runner before they'll bring the tying run up in the bottom of the 10th ining Tanner Scott is in the game no one is warming for the Padres here's the pitch strike on a backup cutter it's one and one to kusano the Padre catcher hitting at 243 with seven home runs Donovan Solano on it first Holderman has given up three here in the 10th there's a swing in a miss one ball two strikes so that's 11 runs in his last five games so far with 12 outs recorded in those five games and the pitch lofted down the right field line it'll go into the seats one ball two strikes Last Man Standing probably for the Pirates here in this 10th yeah you would think um now we're 22 pitches in trying to grind through get that final out get the rightand to batting kusano swing flyball to Taylor back up a few steps and leap to make the catch it got turned around out there but right at the ship in time to get the final out Padres get three runs on two singles and we go to the bottom of the 10th inning it's nine [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] now Heim has a chance at Redemption infield moves back and he hles one to Right Center he is going to get the Redemption H walks it off the Rangers win the opener baseball unbelievable Jonah Heim with the game winning run bed in to give Texas a 4 to3 win here in 10 on opening night [Music] Cross Blue Shield official health plan of the Pittsburgh Pirates we go to the bottom of the tent and the Pirates need three they Trail it 9 to6 and Tanner Scott who got the final out in the ninth and it'll be Michael a Taylor to lead it off one for four facing the Lefty Scott came over from the Marlins at the deadline delivers down and in ball one another set and the 1 oh swinging a tap foul one ball one strike yeah this is some kind of nasty one two punch I mean this this Bullpen I mean Padre's played lousy today there's no sugar coat that I mean they're winning this game 9 to6 but boy they played terrible but with this Bullpen difference making strike yeah I mean they're going to be tough to beat when they have a lead after five Pirates did a great job coming back big hit by McCutchen Cru the runner out at second to start the inning and the onew is downed in on Taylor he did not go two balls at two strikes on the appeal but um great opportunity against their closer um back at that bottom of the ninth inning after a hit from ker FFA and another error from the Padres and put the Pirates in a good spot second third and base is loaded could get to run home here's a 2-2 and Taylor takes low three and two if he can get on the tying run would come up here in the 10th and it's Andrew McCutchen on Deck he's driven in three already with a homer and you kind of know that Taylor Scott is Taylor Scott's going to throw this right down the middle with a fast ball you just expect it he got that kind of fast ball here's a 3-2 and it's off the plate W fory tried to trick him with the slider and now the tying run comes up with nobody out wow I take that back I'm I'm shocked at that pitch and it was a good pitch it's on the plate he didn't get a call you're holding your breath if you're Michael Lake Taylor cuz it was a perfectly placed back door slider and uh crew chief again Andy Fletcher that been pretty inconsistent pretty inconsistent Strike Zone today we'll take it and Andrew boy talk about that great bat speed got a chance here to tie the game with one swing the pitch inside ball one already driven in three tonight Homer in the fourth to tie the game put the Pirates ahead they were down a run put them ahead in the sixth with a two-run single two on nobody out 1 oh and it's low two and0 how about that Tanner Scott got the final out facing Cruz in the ninth inning and then they bring him back out for the 10th after just three pitches here's the 2 and he's wild 3 and0 well I'm checking this out and I don't think he's pitched in multiple Innings very often this year I'm looking looking uh the only time that he's done it was yesterday for the whole season and now today now tonight ball for it two straight walks that's loaded him up for Reynolds he could win it yeah well they better get somebody up in that Bullpen now uh that's I'm sure everybody that Padre's dget think it's game over is uh another bound visit well he's had problems with the walks throughout his career but boy this is a bad time to have that rare it's ugly head wow no good time for us oh sure sure so B is loaded they're going to get another Lefty up down there but um going be more at home and while we have a moment take 10 for a station ID on the Pirates radio network Reynolds will bat as the winning run Pirates trailing 9 to6 in the 10 we got to like who we got coming up here Brian Reynolds he can hit velocity coner FFA he can hit velocity Scott has allowed three home runs this year base is loaded nobody out Outfield is deep the pitch Reynolds takes high for ball one couldn't bring that slider down Reynolds two for five tonight has a run batted in Pirates down three in the bottom of the 10th inning nobody out base is loaded Scott to Reynolds outside two and0 and another wide one Reynolds is 0 for four in his career against Tanner Scott trying to change that right here but the bases full here's a 2 Reynolds Taps it foul and a down and in slider two balls at a strike that's amazing he's still throwing the slider I mean I was shocked he threw it 3-2 to Michael a Taylor now he throws it uh 2 to Reynolds that's right in the swing path too you just dropped that batad Outfield very deep here's the 2-1 just missed l oh boy he's squeezing him he squeezed him on Taylor definitely squeezed him a that pitch is well in the zone wow ruled three and one now now on the fast ball nowhere to put Reynolds base is loaded Scott delivers Ball Four he's walked in a run missed with a fast ball three straight walks for Scott and now it's 97 what an insane ball game and Taylor is the runner at third the tying run is McCutchen at second the winning run is Reynolds at first Mike schil is back out of the Dugout he pulled his closer for Scott in the ninth now he's going to pull Scott for Mor hon who pitched extensively yesterday and they're going to desperately go to him to try to bail out the Padres here in the bottom of the 10th inning 97 San Diego Bas is full of buckos nobody out we're back after this in the Pirates radio network presented by I see Life at Ahn we see you at your and here's another one I believe went off the scoreboard if you miss in the middle of the plate with Max Muny he's good look at that level swing right there and and he's a hitter but what I love watch him watch him drop he he what he does is he moves his hands and he loads into the back leg here you see the knob facing the catcher which I really love cuz that's the power position for any power [Music] hitter and the silver Sho oh my [Music] God thank you so much mie bets climbs in Betts hits this one in the air to left field Ramos going back at the wall lead off home run so a day after Betts gets his first extra base hit in a couple weeks he hits his first home run in nearly a month wind or no win mooki feels good about that swing and that is the 50th Big League game mooki bets has set a tone with a home [Music] run and that will set the stage for Xavier Edwards selfishly looking for a single to complete the cycle toward short adamus has it gets rid of it quick and he's safe it's third of the time opponent only hit it at a 175 clip in fact he's uh better with that slider against righties than he is lefties a two seam fast ball that he can throw 97.5 mph but that gets hit pretty good A 291 clip an occasional split that'll throw to a righty and a sweeper that he doesn't throw very often but it's basically you know slider Seeker slider but it's firm and it's good and ker FFA is going to bad here a 367 hitter with runners in scoring position batting with the bases loaded there's nobody out Pirates down two in the 10th Pirates stranded The Bases Loaded in the ninth here's the pitch gets away from kusan everyone moves up and it's 9 to8 in the 10 and I think they have to walk them this is crazy a fast ball just spiked in the dirt Pirates haven't had to swing the bat in the inning they might be afraid to walk them cuz they're you know that's all they're doing is walking us and so they're afraid this is crazy I can't believe they're they're they're pitching to him second and third thir with nobody out 98 the pitch strike trailing Runner is Reynolds at second base that's the winning run the tying run is McCutchen in third Diner FFA in his first week with the Pirates already two hits tonight looking for the biggest one here in the 10th Mor hone on the 1-1 outside two balls in a strike with slider missing well they always stayed for Ralph Ker's final at bat Isaiah ker FFA hoping that this is the final at bat trying to win it for the Pirates here's the pitch swinging the ground ball right to the short stop they'll come home for a force play and McCutchen he just took he just started going back to the Dugout and and is ruled out of the Baseline is he ruled out I'm assuming but that we're lucky it's not a double play ball Brian Reynolds didn't go to third I don't know why he didn't go to third but he stayed there the throw went home and then the catcher didn't throw to third I mean they would have had a double play we're very very fortunate right there that um we still got a runner on third with one out I understand wanting to avoid a collision but that I didn't yeah and why Andrew peed off yeah I have no clue I I don't know if I've ever seen that yeah and so a fielder's choice Reynolds is at third ker FFA is now the winning run at first base with one out for Conor Joe who's 0 for two right side is open for the right-handed batter they'll play the second baseman nearly up the middle halfway the pitch inside missing ball one yeah that was bizarre I know why Bri Brian Reynolds stopped to to start with is because the ball was right next to him where the short stop fied it but if they make a play on Reynolds of tying run scores one ball and no strikes on Conor Joe got to avoid a double play the pitch swing and a foul back deep enough Fly ball ties this game we're in the 10th it's 98 Pirates have scored twice here in the bottom of the 10th without the eight of a hit three walks a wild pitch automatic Runner need a big hit or a deep enough flyball even will just tie this game r at third kindor FFA at first here's a 1-1 down low and in two balls at a strike from Mor H that's a good take again that slider is a a real good pitch especially to righties and Conor Joe able to recognize see it and take it Conor Joe has never faced Joe grew up in San Diego there's the 2-1 half swing strike took that slider it's two and two looking fast ball on 2-1 why not didn't get it two and two now 98 San Diego bottom of the 10th inning one out men at the corners Mor hon lifts and delivers down low check swing no swing three and two you hold your breath um Mike Shield is blowing up on the first base umpire he's as red as his old uniform three and two the count 10th inning 98 Padres is the pitch swing in a Miss struck about down an ins slider Joe strikes out now the infield can back up there are two outs and it's up to yasmani grandal who stuck out his glove in an attempt to prevent a run in the top half of this inning came up with the Padres back in 2012 trying to sink him here and and you start thinking you know he's had some pretty good at bats today but you think about Joey Bart here Bart has not been used in this game here's the pitch swinging a foul tip and a strike one of the most prolific RBI men ratio wise I was thinking back in that ninth inning but here we are in the 10th grandall 0 for two two walks and a sacrifice men at the corners two outs there goes coner FFA a wave and a miss two strikes now the winning run is in scoring position and a base hit could win it but now it's two strikes on yasman grandall they haven't thrown a wild pitcher pass ball in a while they threw well more H first pitch was a wild pitch here's the set and the 02 coming grandal hits it on the ground towards short Kim collects it flips it to First and the Padres hold on in a wild game wow 98 in 10 Innings San Diego has claimed the first two games of this series wow that's all I can say wow I mean it what a crazy game not a very well played game a ton of mistakes from the Padre's but they still are able to pull it out unbelievable and so the last four games that Colin hman pitches he's assessed the loss it's only the third Pirate pitcher ever Eloy face a great reliever happens to them all Dan Pac and Colin Holderman his last four games it's the defeat I was hoping that the Pirates would come back and win it and get him the W but it goes the Padre's way 9 to8 in 10 Innings we'll bring in the postgame show after this here on the Pirates radio network presented by I see life every year for every Pirates pitcher strikeout coppers donates $50 to a full
