the sound of Billy Joel's Piano Man Ben looking for a bounce back after a tough start in La yeah he's had a couple rough starts in a row but I will say this the two teams he's facing his last two starts have been really good offensive teams righty fa the Astros two starts too in the Dodgers offensively they are on Pace to be the worst team in the modern era 31 and 108 Chicago has lost 11 games in a row the bright spots in the lineup for Ben and tendi and Gavin sheets who was two for four with a couple of hard ground ball hits yesterday heading into this Tuesday night it's game 140 of 162 and sunny night on those Tuesday September the 3rd you'll notice right there right Sox right fielder Cory jokes there's the first curveball down in in to 2008 on a one two there's a curveball money that was a great way to set this up and there's a swing and Miss rate at 30 J Allstar a season too for Chicago and Robert rips a fastball me hitter has trouble picking it up till about halfway there and a lot of times It's Too Late by then Robert with a ground ball to Gunner Henderson shows off the rocket here's Andrew benintendi and another first pitch fast vertical break and he has a pretty above average induced vertical break as he kind of Misses with the Sinker break than usual on the fast ball mhm and what we mean by induced ver you're going to steal my job by the end of this broadcast no that trust me that's not going to happen I'm just trying to understand it no you're things like that and like you said off the top of the scoreboard Santander's throw into second will be late four and a first pitch curveball first two strikes on round 20 and up still had more than two teams and a ground ball to short again for Henderson and Kate pish with that fast ball curveball when we come back picks tonight and drini makes his eighth Big League start which he begins with a l and there's a curve which he does not low and you're going to see a lot of that from the screen tonight set up other pitches I mean maybe he's trying to set up that curveball low in the zone that's something that Shane Bieber have right now 3-1 for Henderson here and that one was out of the Z play at 95 or up low in the zone again Henderson pops a third highest scoring game of the year of Jes and gutter with a hard turn on his way to Second and he is in there and takes a fast ball low leads it's a new metric for you Alex it's called hwa how to win awareness is taking that first pitch and it's nice to see adley do that and get to 10 as opposed to 01 I me' love seeing him in a tried to throw the fast ball high you can see that yeah I went back look at his minor league Qui Journeys through the miners Rutman stepped out there is up at the plate right now and he'll just think about it as jel retires Rutman laying off pitches outside the Zone will'll take a curveball that's just out very simple with his mechanics he just kind of goes straight down the hill Ryan's on his way to Second and it's a double double first inning for the O first one today and now Anthony sere who looks at a fast ball somewhere around the outside breaking balls more off speed pitches today in hitter friendly counts and there's another low fast [Music] B 39 homers and first base is open so I'm still going to make my pitch right here hands it he'll throw into second his throw is Late Three dou cower and cower gets a first o that pitch got all the way does it that's a very wild pitch G hitting runners in scoring position but they did finish in a flurry for sure oh maybe a fast ball instead that'll work just fine cower with a single hard hit balls 970 slug so hit it hard with Chicago Ando in a three yeah so the seven in or 7 ft even rather which is a really short stroke to the ball so they're able to get that quick a swing off and the orol and or seem to really prioritize guys that can get that up especially with cower who changed the weight of his Bat to be able to slow his bat speed down three runs already across and the curveball down and in for Cedric on 2-1 after a big night yesterday well yank a fast ball out of [Applause] play tie of season High yesterday hits and runs and he will chase Mullins the coming up to 20-year-old Jackson holiday ball and putting up the left hand versus the right now if he's been throwing a lot of strikes that left Center and nothing's routine out there Kade poic stake to a 3 nothing lead already as he the Lutherville Marilyn Bourne sheets will take that Breaky ball putting into his arsenal we noticed when work well with his other pitches the results weren't great so a little bit more he pitches a curveball a sweeper and a cutter two sometimes they begin the morph into one so what pitch a little bit further out of the zone to try and get that chase well there now adley this year a little below worst at the bottom of the Zone here's a ground ball to short and it kicks away from Henderson back in in the average catcher does just like that differently right when you know maybe a decade ago you could look at a catcher's glove and try and get that way for me as a pitcher like I want to know where you want the ball he got himic he picked off so now two out nobody on for lenine Sosa and R MC terrific deception and now a sweeper slammed down the line and left but foul by lenine Sosa 60 ft 6 in and you can dip it out of the Zone either up or down or whatever it is you're going to have Kevin Brown Ben McDonald MLB Alex fast with us along with Rob long and our Masson crew for the Orioles and Rivera gets another behind almost every orial hitter and then got some balls in in the heart of the plate and plus counts and or outside the strike zone in the first inning and Rivera is going to up that off for that pitch is not called a strike if it's a 2-1 count but in Gunner Henderson takes a low fast ball I think more often than not for sure but like you said guys are able to pitch backwards enough yeah careful here too [Music] carry it through the zone and that's a good example of hitters see it low and the Ballam and do it low he's not going to be able to set up that slider or that change up if he does pick it up we'll see if he starts to throw a few more off speed pitches down right down the middle right while I said he's only swung and missed at nine pitches in 0 three the chase numbers have definitely gone up for Aly he'll swing at this fast ball in the zone and pop it up toward Miguel Vargas right on the line of upward Trend the last couple of years is in Oro he has it and he's very good at it Henderson running another high fast ball leaves throw six missing 5% of high fast balls correct he's sixth best in baseball right [Applause] now RBI double already missing a lot oh my [Applause] gosh yeah what mechanically Ben he is his body's getting out in front and when your body gets out in front golden opportunity first pitch slider selective insert counts as that fast Ball's y start white socks have lost six of seven that bats back to yesterday and cold little less drop for n and then he runs the fast ball valid right you just don't want it to be something that people see all the time a little bit more let your stff just play if you don't you better figure out oh no Cedric Mullins now we have a lot of um interest can't wait till s gets in reasonably B how much length out of him but you're starting to get in that danger zone when you start talking about 30 plus Innings he's going to throw at least five more pitches after it and a strike with him menz at second [Applause] pitch to Mullins likely so Jackson holiday on for left on left battle and [Applause] shers one player who was injured replaces another who is holiday and a two- fast ball L Robert will which he doesn't throw in the zone much and is now Brooks Baldwin how do you keep your composure mentally when you have that long of a break some band work just to kind of stay loose but you never mind sitting there Amaya takes a breaking ball low ball two the most what competitive curveball but I kind of enjoy what he did there in the first two innings not a lot but he had four whs total against the do first start back from Triple A this go around against the Red Sox quick outs Mullins will give way to Holiday sharing their story will allow families in the NIU you know getting knocked down and getting back up again he wanted to set example for his kids and I don't think you could say it did some form of throwing today three Orioles pitchers there's ball one to gunar Henderson I think what it's a golf engulf yeah I'm going to have to ask I have swelling has gone down on the forearm Dean Kramer is better it's it's some hardcore lettuce from Dean Kramer just saw which again doesn't necessarily have the best movement profile right the it's like the screeny too wants to get at the knees with that Force really focus low there respect for shoer was a first round pick and to change up a away to adley R building the pitches that you have to form an Arsenal to form success right just because you see that oh he's got exactly especially when you're talk about change UPS you talk about you know breaking balls because hitters again 3-2 for Radley and there's a nice change up so Schuster puts together a can you tell folks about your journey how you got into baseball I would be anything but uh researcher um Locate and I have a job by the end of the week but having different data getting that from the front office healthy skepticism um and so I had to convince down to Second here's holiday for the second out I had to convince M and uh it's just a lot different now two down Andrew Von swings yeah well we're on to the XR 100 yeah and that's that's made up he was not buying great great delivery Gavin sheets on the ground to Short Stop and the xrc top seven nothing game Orioles and the white sock change the way you evaluate baseball analytical skill has revealed things that sometimes B results or the value of walks in what Drew you to Ryan o'n what did you like about o' all of the dice it's been surprising in uh the good side um since we got him but having to kind of convince Consultants right now it's almost has that you know changed for you between going from St Louis normal it is and so some of the things we were doing a little bit of hesitancy reluctance but my colleagues in this other or getting it so it became a little bit made him better than what he was and he'd already won a Sai Young Award to that point more difficult for one having success but if that person was in our system you still could improve and so that mindset is a lot easier to watches with their social skills human factor skills there cor a row in relief here for Chicago and he will not time with the the young man at uh a workout or they combine you behave this is the way we're behaving and it nudges them a bit off the mound shoer throw is dropped and out of the seven nothing lead M fouls away strike one scouting still matters maybe not in the same way more and there's no way we're going to battle without I think the high school players so much of the success we've had with our high school player Jackson on Deck right now as Mullins Works to count full three up the middle that Ball's going to get through a left on left base hit for Mullin vertical break starting to come into the vernacular a little bit more things like seam shifted W yeah I think the world of uh biomechanics what game has a lot of physics and generating force and health for instance of pitchers both um many times it's fun glad to have you Sig sorry tenants even got to take home their very own bottle of Corbin's limited first time this year and got win yesterday has been excellent as his breaking ball he can throw that curveball effectively for strikes he he shown an ability to put iny movement profile compared to average but well located and the numbers aren't necessarily electric right for his movement profile and stuff like that but when you might not have had the best movement numbers overall that for seamer hit through the left side what is officially an eye abrasion on the Collision in the second he's able to effectively work at the top of the zone we hear a lot do with the spin oh yeah love it let's get nerdy not necessarily the most important thing context is what's this spin is contributing to movement you have more air getting under that for shamer wow that is a much better fast ball than a pitch that does playing a little bit longer and it tricks the hitter's eyes because the hitters used to the ball coming down as gravity affects it and I see what you're saying I know I have some properties that make it seem like I can get a good am right how can can I maybe get behind a little bit more that break what I was told 1:00 1:30 is where you don't want to be with your hand positions and saber metrics is working best it's helping Center Henderson with a tremendous five yikes lead throws a strike on his first Big League pitch to Emanuel rera follows the upds done in the minor leagues this year yeah solid ra and the first battery faces in the majors [Applause] Emanuel stop record by an oral better than the average H that just for a couple of things as well the strike zone and that's high for a sinker ball all three at bats might not so was that hat too I want for three tonight and atting his way to third base and he get there big time strike one to Ryan Runner does and how valuable someone is as a base me there's an entire you know stat cast team over at baseball Savant that does fil The Base PS oh what other Orioles do in terms of bat speed but he does have swing velocity this is just an organization that seems to Pride itself in doing things like that you cannot Barrow balls up that typically aren't strikes a guy who expected numbers are a lot better than my real numbers I don't want to be that and he's going to take a walk here and and that's chaos how do you game plan in chaos with a ton of room out there will make the catch didn't miss that wasn't even in the zone Cower has been on now six consecutive plate appearances all three today able to utilize that weapon because of how much break it has to where like we discussed earlier a little more grip it and rip it you know almost more than that they're like effin that's going to go out and and relies on command because those style of pitchers still exist and can still Excel run year when he first got called up but I think to command the ability to command off his fast ball by Landing that breaking ball and putting that thought in their mind a little bit all right let me focus on seeing what I can do with my for seamer here what I can do with my curveball and if he's doing and trying to repeat his mechanics because it's it's really a below average fast ball when you talk about velocity y up the Sinker usage a little bit maybe up the sweeper usage a little bit tightening the repertoire for pic I mean that's a big number yeah there's a lot there and I think it speaks to I mean you hit the anyway one and two still for Ben and tendy Doug sisan is for the inner manager seore and but it should looked like Hunter welstead was Jones in to throws somebody else out missed two pitch Andrew vau will foul off the next F looking to strike out the side and he'll miss fire pitch in there that not looking for you can quickly get up 01 Brush by Vonda Henderson two strike a to so Erie Arte with a one-run fifth inning in his big L top of the sixth inning so right sliders almost have changed definition but that was a nice slide menz Orioles are trying to get him to elevate the ball more his career has obviously been marred by in turn him to some of the power we know that is inside that bat injuries and Ellie D Cruz's average is 30.1 as well and right now his average is 29 fastest Runners too Henderson Sprint speed I was like was he 30.3 yeah I mean how amazing it is it's beginning to make sense now and it's St because moose was right over the top and I guarantee you his spin efficiency what you talk about was perfect Rivera drives one to right center and that ball will die on the warning track there for the seven ows extra by PNC Bank after the game real quick though guys losing some money cuz I keep putting down all mustard Rob your P that's right he goes he knows some people yeah ketchup's got I think a four race lead po has done a wonderful job tonight has not walked about her and for the most that was the first offering R to right center but Cedric Mullins will duck under it it just wasn't consistently there he couldn't get the Dodgers off of his fast when you go out there and stack zeros like he has your confidence go I love stats and I love the you know the analytical side of the game just those things on one two P career night for the kid from Nebraska nothing Orioles here at the seventh inning stretch conclusion yard on a Tuesday night for Robert and get him at bats maybe get the starters off their feet a little bit here runs four earned off of [Applause] nickin what a two for I like 65 as you actually said Ryan oar's been on three times tonight one with Colorado at the beginning of the month after finish you just try to keep your head above water when you play the best teams right you just try to some of their dudes back as we go through the next two or three weeks that's going that's right and so it look the guy's not falling yeah it's been a little bit of a rough time but as we talked about last night all their goals and what they [Music] want R and making this one of the best organizations one of the best ball pars and Kade Povich is still out there one and one to Brooks career pitching into the eighth for the first time B get looking those curious too 97 pitches looks like it's the career high for K really good bite to it it looked like all the pitchers were looking at his stuff no he's going on something away maybe a breaking ball yeah oh I was waiting for him to right going for number 11 here and the back door sweepers out e Rodriguez lineing to right center field that'll get down for a base hit for Amaya only the fifth [Applause] for 51 Innings he's worked each with one I mean he just absolutely do it across his entire Arsenal I think this is exactly what the or major contributions here for the O's Smith with a high fast ball chop to Second by jul soliday will get the short at firstly are hurt and how many pitches he's been needed Cole Irvin's been needed okay well I know effin's coming back but we still need another guy maybe Jackson holl so the point is is you got to be ready to home run you think about the grant slam and stuff like that we're hoping that this is the spark that you know really sets this team a fire Luis Robert Jr pops out to First who came in for the final out yesterday down 13 those forcing Stu a lot of pitches in the strike zone GD right now it kind of seems like that doesn't it long long time the development of pitchers Play Always looking to get better I never thought players stayed the same out there and if you and Chris s's had as much success as anybody not so much in the last few years world and different grips and everything thing right now difference we used I think we had to really pronate really hard and turn that thing over to get that movement and now because of the scam shifted wake and what we know we know that there's trouble down the left field line this cannot be happening again for Anthony line driving The Bu it's just not what you wanted for the white sock that means the game it's important to look at stuff like that to know well yeah they had a few hits but some of them might not have been because the or's prowess on offense hits do a lot of hard outs and you can say through a slump and you see that his expected batting average is relatively High compared to his actual bat one two for ly Jimenez to the left side eaten up nice play by Sosa who moved over it sure felt like it this year next left please don't make his head any better all right there's uh strike they're actually 9 for 32 Mullins Yanks that ball is going to twist out of play it's four for 12 tonight Mullins in the air shallow left field and dooi is going to get there this [Music] time sheets actually Delo beg your pardon for Ben and tendi and there's another either right at the bottom of the Zone because it's got some good spin or I want to see it at the there's a curveball and it's dribble Rutman bare hands and throws him out Andrew vaugh takes another result tonight he could be back in first and how about a three start not this High you three and0 to vaugh and a four another easy night for the Oro Bullpen Kate poit going seven and one been hot for the white socks strike out ground out fly out one of which led to multiple ejections eventually there's a RS sheets to left Colton cower will watch it land at the base of the wall Jonathan Cannon another high popup by sheets into foul ground Rivera searching and finding the second got to make it what would it even be aage I like that my work here is done nine walks offensively Lee off the end of the bat there's a base hit into Center and Cory Lee is aboard so walk go to buy his second rehab stint Danny Kul threw off the mount today all the coaches were out including Brandon death by left-hander looking for some right handed be decided in this final month strike two on a high fast Bly tells him to back off yeah he's going to throw it anyway oh oh sweeper in right Austin sler ends the game shut out of the Season well how about Austin Slater he has been hot with the bat lately but this is good a defensive play as you're going to see sinking Light Drive working away from it he just lays out and Scoops it right off the ground how about that effort Big Time play by Austin Slater a big time performance by the Orioles Kell's happy offense shined again but give it to Kade poic tonight I mean career-high Innings pitch career high strike out I mean seven and the third shut out baseball and the Orioles have twirled a shut out tonight not only a career high in the big League's career Hy
