San Diego Padres Vs Pittsburgh Pirates Full Game ining 1-3 May 4,2025 Game MLB Highlights MLB Today
And Tatase ended the game with a bang yesterday or at least and his double yesterday advancing to third on the steel and then scoring on a ball that didn’t get very far away from home. And it it really it wasn’t even, you know, yeah, it was a double, but it was a ground ball in between short and second, which most guys are just going to jog out, take their hit, but he came flying out of the box and uh able to take advantage of the fact that we were playing no doubles. Henny with those good career numbers against the Padres’s is supposed to be batting right now and uh looks like he has a nose bleed. Bloody nose. Yeah. Medical timeout. [Applause] So, it’s going to be a strike on him. And Mike Schult, the Padres’s manager, is trying to get a clarification from Derek Thomas, who’s working the plate today. He says, “Well, he’s got to be up there.” And so, that that’s just the rules. So, [Applause] That was fair by a nose. They would be in some kind of uh something in the rules leeway for if you had any kind of a medical issue, what you would think a no bleeding nose would be. He should have said his pitch didn’t work. Yeah, that that’s true. Yeah, that would have that would have worked. the more you know. And here’s Bogards now with a man at second. So there has to be some point to where they would call time, I would think. Yeah. But nose bleed doesn’t doesn’t what do you call it? Rise to the uh to that level. Well, maybe he had to report to the batters box first. I don’t know. Well, nonetheless, first pitch he swung, got a double and that one gets past Hayes. knocked it down enough so that it gets slowly out to Fam and that scores Machado. One- nothing Padres’s. Well, then it could have started better here. Almost overshot it. Looked like Yeah, the the ball kind of passed on on really the I guess you would call it the right side of his club. I’m just so used to him making every Oh, yeah. above average play. Yeah, we do hold him to a different standard. Maybe you’re right. And for Hayes that his career fielding percentage is 980. It’s the second highest for a third baseman in the history of baseball. That means 98% of the plays he makes. And I think he makes that one probably 98% of the time. Yeah, there you go. So, yeah, that’s fair. So that one was odd to see him not come up with it. Composado got caught up yesterday. He’d been playing in El Paso top farm club for the Padres’s. We’ll have the Levin Furniture and Mattress strike zone for you all afternoon long. Two out double then the single by Bogarts. Now three and one on Kapusano right at the top of the zone. Had to give him one of those. He didn’t give him the low one. So maybe one upstairs. Both of them look like they actually hit the strike zone. Computer would have gave him both. Another chance for Kosano. Bogarts again will be moving on 3-2. Two outs and a walk from Heene. That’s what he was trying to do. He was He wanted to lock him up with an inside fast ball so he wouldn’t be able to get his swing off, maybe get a called strike, but he just missed his spot by a little bit. Three straight Padres’s reaching after the first two retired. Brings up Oscar Gonzalez. [Applause] It’s been a couple years, but the last time he faced Haney, he homered off of them. Nothing so far this year for the new Padre. Played with the Guardians before. He gets a lot of swings and misses on that fast ball. He normally has just excellent command of it. He’s not a hard thrower. I mean, he’s just a little bit of deception. That’ll go foul. Almost got that one by him. 308 with runners in scoring position. Padres’s had very few opportunities yesterday. Just five base runners in the game total. Three hits. He won two to one. Now two and two on Gonzalez. squirts away from Henry Davis and the runners will advance. [Applause] Almost a cut a little bit. This is going to be a very tough pitch to backhand cuz it’s on the left side of his body. Sometimes a good movement can help you, but there’s two negatives. Every now and then you’ll you’ll get a wild pitch or a fast ball off good movement. Umpire sometimes will miss a pitch and there’s times like the the Cub or excuse me, the Padre pitcher yesterday, you’re not going to throw very many strikes because you get all that movement. Well, how many pitches is that now? We were looking at a single digit inning. Now it’s a 27. 27. Wow. eight pitch walk to Gonzalez. It’s not just the, you know, giving up a run. It’s with the pitch count getting up there in the first inning, you know, that later in the game might take an inning away from you even if you get on a roll. So Oscar Marine is out. One run is in, but trying to limit it to just that. [Music] So at third base, Bogarts, he had the RBI single. He’s the lead runner. Compusano walked and then Gonzalez just now with that eight pitch walk. Base is loaded. Jose Iglacius hitting 500 with runners in scoring position. It’s only the first inning. We’re already at the spot where it’s a big runs here a month into the season. comes back to Schlider. One and two. Career with the bases loaded. E Glacy’s been doing this a long time. Puts it in play. Lead off home runs. Nobody throwing any strikes anymore. He’s walked six times in the series in two games. And if they do it, it’s going to be like that. You didn’t see anything in the middle of the zone. Theoretically, he’s got the biggest strike zone in the league, but nobody can hit it. Well, nobody wants to. [Music] Kick last year pitched the entire season with the Padres’s but out of the bullpen as a rule five pick. Oh, that was right down the pipe. That’s the best pitch. The way that the Padres’s have been avoiding him all series. I’m sure that that was an edict in their game plan. Yep. Joey Bart not catching today. He’s the designated hitter. got an on base over 400. He’s been taking a lot of walks, too. We told you yesterday that Bart and Cruz and McCutchen see so very few pitches in the middle of the plate on average. Hit well to right. Marco’s start on our air yesterday because of the rain delay. They got to see him pitch five more scoreless innings. He had not allowed a runner as far as third base, let alone a run in those six starts. So, pretty impressive. Andrew Heene got off to that great start. First two quickly retired. That’s a fair ball and Lockage runs very well. [Music] He’s going to be able to make that a double. [Applause] very shallow into in right field. It’s a small right field, so anything. Yeah, verify to make sure. Yeah, that’s how close he was. But instead, the third home run for Diaz doubling the lead. And just like that, Lockage with his double and Tatis batting with the man in scoring position. gets him to pop it up. It’s a good out. Couldn’t advance the runner [Applause] with nobody out. You want to get that guy to third and they couldn’t do it. Saw the same thing happen in the ninth inning last night when Arias came up after Tatis doubled and Arias did not move him over. Tatis went ahead and just stole third. Lockage at second base. Last year was in the minor leagues. He stole 46 bases at Triple A. What do you got on Bobcat for Heene Holmes? Fairly fairly fast, middle or slow? Where what do you think? You want me? Let me look at one here. Okay, go ahead. Calibrate. I’ll give it to you. That was a good idea. I couldn’t get a clock on it. That was a good idea. Yeah. Yeah. The Pirates did not do that last night and Tatis went unchecked. Might have been a little too quick with that. Lockage taking off. And Triola will take some time to set up maybe to seam up the ball and Oraz beats it. But he he looked at third just to make sure. Yeah, he didn’t keep on going. He looked at third and then there was a little bit of a crow hop and that just took too much time. So, Lockidge advances. I think Machado was a good double play guy. Yeah. Year after year grounds in to a good number so far. Four this year. That’s what Heene needs right now after the Diaz home run. A lot of traffic for the Padres’s here early on. A lot of pitches for Haney. Coming up on half a 100 now. Still just one out in the second. Double play ball if he can throw it would help out with the pitch count immensely. [Music] also did two big things for him. Get the inning over and stay under 50 pitches. It’s number 49 right here. It’ll be interesting when they employ the automatic ball strike system that’s going to measure the the ball or strike in the middle of the plate rather than at the front of the plate. And so maybe a pitch like that, where does it travel? Comes back after down three 0 to strike him out. Yeah. Gave him a good pitch to hit too. That’s fast ball middle of the plate. Look at the location here. This this not the greatest location in the world. And that strikeout presented by Coppers. Protecting what matters, preserving the future. Big big out right there. He’s gotten a couple of them in the last inning. And now this one. Xander Bogarts drove in a run his first time out. The fast ball for Heene. Even though the velocity isn’t the tops for any of those 92 and under fast balls, top swing and miss fast ball in baseball for starting pitchers. It’s got some character as you would say, right? Yep. That ball though, a change up hit to the wall. Easily scores Lockidge. Arias waved home by Tim Leaper and he’s in with a hook slide and advancing on the throw. Bogarts to third. Bogarts with a double. Takes third on the throw. Still in scoring position either way with two outs. I was wondering if we’re going to see Luke Skywalker at some point. Did you play with him? Uh, yeah. Back in the 40s. Yep. No, there was a Luke Walker, right? Yeah, Luke. Yeah, call him Skywalker. Yeah, at at times there were there were times for Luke. What have you been up to, Steve? Uh getting uh practicing this semi-retirement. Still doing some ambassadorial work. Pardon? You’re practicing a lot. You’re getting good at it. Yeah, I’m getting good at Yeah. Yeah. And uh Joe Biladoo is my handler. So doing some ambassadorial work and making appearances for the ball club. So yeah, it’s going along good. And uh came down today to check out talk talk to Cut a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. We’re uh my son and I are involved in a project with Junior Achievement which does a lot of good things for for young people. Uh there’s a fundraiser. So uh Andrew I met him in the hallway and he said he’d be happy to to lend a bat for that. So I really appreciate that and I’m not surprised he does those kind of things and he does them without hesitation and so uh he remains a champion in so many areas. He really does. It’s all good for that for that uh standpoint. Your your love for baseball is unmatched. There’s Andrew McCuten right there. I I think about today where you have so many kids here with youth baseball and softball day. It’s great. It’s great to see it’s great to see them on any kind of field. You get through. Yeah. All right. See, all you needed for me was to show up here. It’s all good. It’s all good. But uh yeah, it’s always good to see the kids at the ballpark. It’s uh I I was driving in today. There’s some kids on a playground playing baseball and we we don’t see that as much as we used to, but it’s still good to see it. It is. And uh so Sunday afternoon at the ballpark, get some runs, get back in this thing, and have have a good time. You know, on the Sunday, we had to get out the good book. This thing? Yeah. Well, for baseball fans, that’s the good book right there. Right. The baseball encyclopedia. Yeah. This is the page you’re looking for, right? Oh. Oh. Oh, you got it marked already. You got my page. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There you are, Steve. So, this is how we used to look up statistics as the baseball before the computer. We had that. That is serious. We had this right there. Steve Blass. That’s his entry right there. Right next to Wade Blazing game, former pitcher pitched against him. Wow. Yeah. So, yeah. Glenn, he was a pirate, wasn’t he? He was. Yeah. Saw. He must have been good. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. His parents knew his given name was Daryl. So, okay. I don’t know. Come on. We had a good thing going here. Sorry. But yeah, but this is this is really cool. It’s got everybody in that that was known for your the the baseball bible right there. Yeah, absolutely. Every player’s goal was to get their name somewhere in this book. Yep. All you had to do is make an appearance, right? Appearance. One appearance and you’re in the book. Save. All right, we got it going out there. So, you got to beat that out. I held my breath. He almost made the play of the year. Uh I thought he had that home run. He got a little leather on it. Yep. That was real close. And he was playing in kind. He went a long way before he made that jump. His timing was perfect. And he he didn’t have an opportunity to take a peek where he was either. So he had to just kind of do it by feel. Yeah. You were mentioning, Joe, he’s played some kind of serious defensive. Go for it. Yep. [Music] No further advance. Trying to get these guys going. So, when you come out to the ballpark, what do you like to do when you’re here? Hot dog and a beer. That’s great. Check it out. Last time I saw you here, you were sitting right behind home plate. Yeah. Karen and I came out on my birthday. That’s right. That was your birthday. I forgot about that. Yep. The Pirates were kind enough to uh give us OC’s for a birthday present. We had a a a great night. Said I said, “What do you want to do on my birthday?” She said, “Let’s go to the ballpark.” I haven’t heard that from her in a long time, but but it was all good. Yeah, we had a we had a great time. Everybody was very nice. That’s wonderful. Cuz it now it’s a change of pace rather than the the normal thing. Yeah. I I’m still getting used to to looking down there every once in a while. I don’t know if you do, Bob. We did that kind of stuff that they’re doing out there. You ever look at that? I don’t remember. just to come out and watch the hometown team. And that’s, you know, it’s a struggle now. Everybody’s very frustrated. But, you know, it’s it’s our it’s Pittsburgh’s Major League Baseball team. And from a personal standpoint, this is the team and the organization and the city. Uh oh. Oh boy. too. I think that was originally intended for something else. Yeah. Oscar Gonzalez will lead off the Padres’s third inning. So, what the tradition of you on Sundays throwing out souvenirs for the people up here in the grand stand. Yeah. In between innings. Don’t want to disrupt the getting the way of the ball game. It was always a seventh inning stretch thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s one of the first commandments, right? You don’t you don’t uh have your fun when you’re on uh when you got live action going. So we’ll have our fun. You always did radio on Sundays so you could That’s right. Yeah. Throw them out over there. You would spend three innings getting everything arranged. Always with all the sacks of all the goodies and everything. No, the t-shirts. Yeah. Yeah. Now, how did that come about that you started to do that? Do you remember, Joe? That was in the early 1950s. I mean, that was so long ago. I can’t remember how it got started, but it kind of grew and we had had a nice little tradition. Uh I’m not able to stay around to the seventh inning, but uh we’re going to have a little fun along the way. We got some got some rubber balls to throw out. Those are better than real baseballs. Yeah, they can’t hit these as hard. My delivery. I remember in Cincinnati toss somebody a real baseball out of Yeah. and hit the kid on the top of the head. Yeah. that we so we stopped that with the real baseballs. That’s also why they don’t have bat day anymore. Yeah. Well, that was a foul ball that it actually came into the Yeah. was yelling for it. Yep. So Steve tossed it down and kid wasn’t looking up. It got missed. Yeah. Well, it it was good. He wasn’t looking up cuz it hit him on top of the head instead of the face. That’s why you bring your glove to the ballpark, right? Mhm. Yeah. don’t get many foul balls up this this spot here. Not going to, but you know, I saw Bill Melo down there, our cameraman home high home. He was waiting try. He was going to be trying to catch one. He can get a few down there. There’s Billy. Yep. He’s ready for any any rain, any moisture. [Applause] Well, it was nice to say hello to Adam Fraser in spring training. Uh he’s always been a good pro. Give you, you know, he’ll give you that major league effort all the time. Good to see him pirate uniform. trying to show these guys, you know, he’s played on the playoffs the last three years with three different teams and trying to show some of these guys, hey, this is what it takes to make up the difference sometimes. Y Yeah, he’s had really strong years. Was here the first time, too. Yeah. Good career. Good memories. Solid pro. What do you think of the pitching so far with Haney and you’ve seen some of these other guys? I’ve seen some great pitching. Yeah. Yeah. Some really, really good starts. And how about yesterday? I mean, Bailey Falder is just terrific. So glad he came out for the seventh inning. That was his ball game. He deserved that. And right decision and didn’t turn out right at the end, but you can’t take away that performance. That’s that’s as good as a start you’re going to look for. Glacius strikes out and they throw him out. A nice job here by kind of putting things back together after a rough couple innings. Remember Bob, we used to think there’s kind of three steps for a starting pitcher to master. Get your feet on the ground in the first qualify, go five innings, and then learn how to pitch a ninth inning. And the fourth commandment, learn the umpire strike zone as early in the ball game as you can because it’s not yours. It’s his. You don’t need any of these anymore. I know. I know it. I know it. And they’re not always easy to master. But yeah, we’re going to have the computer calling balls and strikes here soon, I think. Yeah. I uh I remember I I think Bob Friend told me he says it’s not your strike zone. It’s that umpire strike zone. And the quicker in a ball game you learn it, the better off you’re going to be. Late great Bob Friend. He’s right. Yeah, my first roommate as a rookie. Yeah, what a great guy to learn from. Well, he that whole group that still left over from the 60 series, they helped me go from being a ball player to a major leaguer and that’s that’s big. A lot of ball players. There aren’t all that many major leaguers and they they couldn’t have been better for me to me. Vernon Law, the Sai Young award winner, not only a a teammate very briefly, but then my pitching coach. That’s Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean to think about the Yeah, that’s pretty good stuff. Little lob shot for Alias Diaz. He’s two for two. Well, you think about the teams that Bob Friend came up with in the early 50s. They took their lumps, but then they got it together and they were good for a long time. Yeah. And he never wavered. I don’t know if he ever missed a starting assignment. He he he was so consistent, so solid for so many years. By the way, that little flare, wasn’t that what Freddy Sanchez used to do a lot of? Oh, yeah. Little soft serve to right and then won the batting title. A hit is a hit. Jack Wilson used to call those the filt of fish. I could understand it and then I thought, “Oh, two, I think.” Right. Yeah. He asked me if I’d sign a couple of them, too. Yeah. He always does. Yeah. Every time he throws anything out, he always comes in here. Sign a couple of these. Oh, that’s great. Yeah. I missed that. That was a big part of the seventh inning stretch every Sunday. And by the way, he he hadn’t been doing that since 1950. He started it here at this ballpark. I’m going to say when we moved in here, 2001, probably about 2005, I think. And it it he he did it from both booths for a long time because it wasn’t just Well, back then it was just me and me and him. Yeah, it was just me and him back then. And so, um, you know, he would throw him from here, throw them from the radio, but then it kind of got to where it was better suited to radio day. You know how radio is. Yeah. Right. You don’t wear shoes on radio, right? Yeah. So, you could do whatever you want over there. And uh yeah, he would just started throwing that stuff out and then it just became a treat to where the fans they knew as soon as top of seventh over turn around Steve was going to throw something out and it would be you know I mean he’d have like a hundred different items. He’d throw them all out. He’d collect stuff during the [Music] week. A lot of it was uh you know pirate related little paraphernelia. I know folks that would buy seats in the grandstand on Sundays just for that. So it’s nice to have a taste of that again here. [Music] Henry Davis getting his first try today. Now a strike barely. Okay. Certainly one you want to take on a three-0 pitch. Trying to string something together here in the third. Manny Machado. And speaking of giveaways, coming up next weekend on Saturday, the Atlanta Braves are in town. It’s a 405 game and the first 20,000 fans will take home a pair of WWE sunglasses. Get your tickets and learn more at pirates.com/promotions. These are going to be good. I’m telling you what, you’re going to want these, brother. Come on. Oh, yeah. Now, I I I wish Steve wouldn’t have left so soon. He would have left with these glasses. There’s no doubt about it. He’s going to come back now. He would have He’s going to see him. He’s going to want him. Uh he would try to get as many as these together and throw them out a week from now. I mean, that’s right where he’s at. But they’re good-looking glasses. You can see great out of them. They’re fantastic. You can see great out of them. Yeah, they’re perfect for that. They take the glare off things. I told you earlier we we were going to have glasses up here. Well, these are these are them. That’s coming up Saturday. Glar is gone. Yep. Get a pair. Now you got Cruz up. By the way, how’d you grow hair so quick? I think you just leave that on. That looks pretty good. I like that. Yesterday was 80s day. Yeah, it looks like ‘ 80s. Should have wore this. That’s what my hair looked like in the 80s. Was it as wild as that your hair is now? Yes. Yes. I have I have a son who’s four and he goes, “Daddy, did you ever have hair?” I said, “No, no, no. I never This is what I used to look like. Looks really good. I like it.” San Diego. Something like that. It looks I still have my hair, but it changed colors on me. I’ll never know if Did you ever turn gray? Yeah. I don’t know. They’ve walked Cruz six times in a series. [Music] Col gave him a fast ball to hit the last time up. [Applause] Did it again. Strikes out looking again. 3-2 both of them, right? Both pitch. Yeah. 3-2 fast balls in the strike zone. This one a little bit more of a borderline pitch. It was kind of up near the top of the zone. So the only pitch he had really fully in the strike zone both played appearances was the final one. Yeah. Kolk in his first ever start in the major leagues. [Applause] Spent the whole year in the big leagues last year though as a reliever. A rule five pick. What I what I from what I understand they going into spring training he was kind of penciled in to be one of their starters, the number five guy. [Music] didn’t make the clump, but he’s here now. He’s not gone more than five innings in any of those starts at El Paso. Yeah, it’s not like he went down there and wiped out TripleA and got the call up. Look at his numbers. Guess we’re going up. [Music] [Music] [Music] What the hell? Open.
