π΄ MLB LIVE π΄ Los Angeles Dodgers vs St. Louis Cardinals | Jun 8 | MLB The Show 25 Full Game EN VIVO
welcome to St Louis and Bush Stadium home of the Cardinals since 2006 Major League Baseball on a Sunday afternoon It’s the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the St Louis Cardinals All right we’ll be back to get this one started after this about to get started here And for the Cardinals here this afternoon Matthew Liberator and Singi we were talking earlier about how he’s doing a great job navigating through tough spots I’ve just been so impressed with when it seems like there’s more pressure he’s more calm and settles in He’s done an incredible job with runners in scoring position Most guys they get a little tight they start to aim the baseball but for some reason he gets looser the ball comes out of his hand with more life and he’s able to wiggle off the hook of you know tough situations and get his team back in the dugout Matthew highf fly ball out towards left field that skips over the fence So it’s an automatic double Well there’s something really nice about getting yourself an automatic double like that You get to stroll into second base without having to worry about a throw or getting your uniform dirty And now you’re just looking for the next hitter to kind of do the same thing Maybe put one in the gap so you can jog home as well Here’s Mukie Betts Now that’s a strike Betts is definitely one of those guys that excels at everything he does Boo in terms of baseball he can do it all He’s won World Series batting titles gold gloves and everything else you can think of Come on Matthew Look out right there Bill I like his intent there to be aggressive with the slider and make sure he got it inside but he just yanked it across his body A little too much horizontal rotation with the upper body instead of north south Will Smith stands in here takes ball one low The bit behind with that swing It’s strike one I wouldn’t throw him another breaking ball Try to go again with a fast ball Slightly elevated He just having a hard time catching up Grounded to third Could be two Donovan for one Back to first And that is a double play Oh man what a smooth double play That was a thing of beauty from start to finish So the go-ahehead run in scoring position at the plate Tay Oscar Hernandez That one a little bit high and that’s ball one Ball one No strike just missed And that one in the air center field Scott on his way over and makes the grab and that’ll do it One left for LA and now the Cardinals get their first shot at it here No score Back after this on the show Back here at Bush Stadium and taking the ball for the Dodgers Landon Knack Yeah he’s definitely had a struggle so far this year as evidenced by that inflated whip but he’s going to have to find a way to limit the base runners put his team in a position to win a ball game So we know he’s prepared We know this guy is a competitor and we’ll watch how he works in this one We go to the bottom of the first now Here is Lars Nbar left field Confor turns to the right on the move Makes the catch for the out and there’s one down Now we take a check of the St Louis Cardinals lineup One guy leading the way offensively for this club right now Lars Nbar and Boo He’s their team leader in home runs So you know the pitchers on that other side man they took a lot of time preparing for him in that pregame meeting You know he’s got a lot of pop and it’s real pop It’s not fluky at all He can absolutely change the outlook of a game very quickly So watch out when he steps in Mason Win now in the box comes up empty with a swing there Next offering pop foul off to the right out of play One out Space is empty [Music] Well struck right field ranging back to the warning track Makes the catch That’s just a really nice catch on the run right there He saved extra bases for sure If the pitcher’s his friend he’ll give him a second to catch his breath before he’s ready to deal the next pitch Two outs space is empty Now it’s the second baseman Brendan Donovan And there’s the strike of the outside corner It’s 0 and one Donovan bats left throws right hitting third in the lineup And he was born in Germany And there’s a ball Two strikes missed inside with the curve Well he might have to look for a different putaway pitch right here 2-2 He’s already seen the curve ball a couple of times in this at bat so might have it timed up and ready for it Foul ball Another 2-2 upcoming Swing and a miss Struck him out And it’s a three up three down inning Nothing doing there for St Louis Scoreless after one Back here in St Louis Second inning set to go And at the plate for the Dodgers Andy Pahes Liberator back to work That one finds the zone That’s strike one That’s to third One out in second Tommy Edmond Yeah here comes Tommy Edmond first pitch and he just misses [Music] And another ball delivers a pitch in for a strike at 95 Swing and a high-fly ball right field The lane makes the grab and they’re two down TK Hernandez Two down Base is empty And next for LA Kik Hernandez Right through there for a strike [Music] Next pitch is outside Breaking ball misses down and away outside with a breaking ball Last couple of pitches breaking balls away I think he’s going to have to come firm inside to be able to open up that location if he wants to go back there later in this count That’s ball four Tried another fast ball but missed the spot One of the things about that two out walk the base runner over at first base is going to have a very aggressive secondary lead So a ball down the line or into the gap will produce a two out RBI And those are the best That is if you are the offensive side of it Michael Conforto stands in with two away as he takes a ball Hernandez leads off first with two down to the inning Next offering is in for a strike And a swing and a miss There’s that slider They really need to hang in there with that front side against this left-handed breaking [Music] ball Two outs That misses the zone Now two and two Second inning here No score Now it’s three and two 3-2 Two out Runner on first Lot of movement in the infield Hitters got to stay focused on the pitch That one drilled left field and that’s a base hit And now first and second with two outs Knight third base Miguel Roas Miguel Rojos at the plate And that’s a base hit Brother at third puts on the brakes Base is now loaded with two away Well a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle We saw the numbers coming into the ball game but all he’s trying to do at this point is help his team win Two outs bases full Here comes Freddy Freeman up to hit Led this game off with a double but they weren’t able to drive him in And that misses ball one The Dodgers threatening and that one fouled off Hard ground ball for base One runs in The throw home It’s off the mark and he scores and they lead by two Well there you go The RBI machine Another clutch run scoring at bat Yeah he’s been so good in these situations Call it clutch if you want but his resume speaks for itself First and second two outs Here’s Mooki to hit on the inside corner for a strike That’s in for a strike on the outside corner and it’s 0 and two Traffic on the bases with two already in to score here in the top of the second Swing and a miss Stripped him out But two runs for him and they jump ahead now to the bottom of the second It’s the Dodgers two and the Cardinals nothing Bottom of the second now Wilson Contrus Come on In the air left side Confordo sizing this one up He makes the grab and there’s one down He was all over that first pitch fast ball Just barely missed it Man this guy was ready to hit And now it’s Ivon Herrera And that’s a strike That one misses and it’s a ball and a strike and that one missing low Two and one the count now He hasn’t seen a fast ball yet but you’ve got to be ready to hit one because you doubt the pitcher wants this to go to a 3-1 count That one misses and that’s ball three That one hammered but pulled fouled outside and that is ball four And that’s their first base runner of the game What a battle It’s not always easy laying off a 3-2 pitch And I tell you what he earned that walk So now it’s Dolan Aronado Nolan Aronado at the plate Aronado guy who delivers big time power at the dish and will probably go down as one of the greatest defensive third baseman of all time misses just off the outside edge I think that was a strike And speaking of that defense it’s hard to imagine that in high school Aronado runner on the goal and a foul ball [Music] The 1-1 is fouled off man at first One away [Applause] This one popped up Foul ground first base side Hernandez calls it in And there’s two away Going to have to have a little more discipline in future at bats That pitch looked good but you can’t hit it It was just too high in the zone You usually see a swing and miss or weak contact in the infield And now the catcher comes up to him Yoel Poso St Fly ball to right Hernandez and that is that So one left for the Cardinals and they’re down two nothing And welcome back to the ballpark Top half of the third inning The batter now will be Will Smith just missed He was late there Strike one Really consistent release point He’s been able to pitch up and down and have excellent command in both locations And it’s fouled away the pitch Good eye right there Really good take especially with two strikes Goes down looking Oh just a beautiful fast ball on the inside corner for that backwards K right there I think the hitter saw it all the way coming from that opposite arm angle So I got to think he was looking away and just got locked up by the hard stuff boring in on his hands Hernandez stands in now Looks at that one inside Boo He never moved cuz he never had time to But that kind of velocity you’d prefer that pitcher work away Highf fly ball on that one Curling foul down the right side Next offering in there for a strike And that is strike two Had a good eye there I don’t know how you take that one after the called strike on the corner Just a little bit off the [Music] edge In the air Foul off first Contras under it and he’s got it Two down Now batting center Next to hit Andy Pahes grounded out his first time He’s got pop which is a little sneaky because he’s so comfortable with taking his base hits to the opposite field but he can jump you if you make a mistake First pitch doesn’t find the zone in the air right side Believe the play and that’ll do it Back here in St Louis as we go to the last of the third and stepping in for the Cardinals Ryan Valade looking for his first big league hit right here And that’s off the outside edge One and0 Fouled off He was late [Music] Swing and a miss Going to count one and two One ball two strikes And that’s in the dirt Fouls it back with two strikes Really great change of speeds He goes off the off speed to the fast ball and the hitter doesn’t know what’s coming next Swing and a miss Struck him out and one gone Just indecisive in that at bat He couldn’t commit to the slider Tried to sit in between Just not able to put the bat on the ball Now up for St Louis Victor Scott This guy can absolutely fly I think one of the faster players in baseball Just missed That clips a corner I got one ball one strike St So a foul ball makes it one and two He’s mixing his pitches really well late on that fast ball after seeing the change up See if he can elevate one I think if he does he’ll get the swing and miss That misses the zone and it’s two and two That’s a little bit low [Music] Gets a piece there We’ll do it again lifted in the air right center field and that’ll fall for a base hit So the one out hit turns the lineup over Now Lars Newbar next up for the Cardinals He’s 0 for one headed towards the corner Confor makes the grab Two down [Music] Mason Here’s the shortstop at the play Mason Win flyed to right his first time Nack throws over and he dives back in safely If it were an average catcher behind the plate I’d say take second base but this isn’t a catcher you want to run on His quick release is unreal There’s strike Now if he’s going to steal second you want him to go early in the count That way he’s not a distraction to the hitter at the plate Go ahead and do it Swing and this one’s blasted It’s got a chance Makes the catch on the edge of the track No runs one hit no errors and a man left On to inning number four It’s the Dodgers two and the Cardinals nothing And we’re back And now it’s the switch hitting second baseman Tommy Edmond Edmond 29 years old and he was a sixthround draft pick back in 2016 Swinging a foul out of play You know these Dodgers showing great discipline at the plate and patience definitely seems to be the name of their game in this one They’re doing a good job of working the pitch Cal Oh look at this from his backside and he gets it Nicely done What an acrobatic play right there Knocks it down Throws from the seat of his pants and just looks like he’s playing in the backyard He makes it look really easy Here’s Kik Hernandez Fouled off left side Still relatively early but with a pair of runs already on the board the ripple effect of that high pitch count might set him up to do more damage later in this game Base is empty one away Top half of inning number four That pitch gets the corner and it’s 0 and2 02 is the count Cut on and lifted in the air The lead and there’s two away Now batting leftielder Michael Conorto Michael Conforto will climb in one for one with a single and a run scored so far And that one upstairs Two out Base is empty That one fouled off That’s out to center field Scott under it That’s how you do it Come on Pulls it down and he makes the catch And that is that So no runs no hits no errors and no one left On now to the bottom of the fourth It’s the Dodgers two and the Cardinals nothing Back here at Bush Stadium John Chabi and Chris Singleton with you And leading off the bottom of the fourth Brendan Donovan you can do it Swing and a miss That’s strike one Well he’s been incredibly efficient in this one First pitch strike percentage over 70% That’s well above league average and that’s what’s allowed him to pitch well up until this point Rojos has room and he makes the catch One away Bill that was a pitch you got to crush Unbelievable that he missed it right there And I’m telling you he is going to be frustrated with himself until his next at bat Wilson Contrarus now up to the plate Fly to left his first time Slice the other way and foul [Music] and Wilson down on strikes Well take a look at the three pitch sequence here Pretty simple in terms of putting them away at the plate Once you’re ahead 02 as a pitcher you can really expand the zone and see how aggressive that hitter is going to be trying to protect and battle And right there clearly he was in swing mode but all you can do is hope to foul that off Now it’s the DH Ivon Herrera And there’s a breaking ball that drops in there 0 and one Two down nobody on We’re here in the bottom of the fourth and a swing and a miss He finds himself in a tough situation early Just got to try to simplify it Take a knock the other way if you can Foul ball still 0 and two That wasn’t an easy pitch to hit It’s much easier to do damage against mistakes but that’s not what that pitch was struck him out Really fooled him with the breaking ball there Nothing doing here this half We’re headed to the fifth It’s the Dodgers two and the Cardinals nothing We go to the top of the fifth now The third baseman Miguel Rojas And when you talk about elite defensive third baseman this guy is at the top of the list Liberator back to work And that’s way high And that’s ball one This guy plays third base like he’s a shortstop And he welcomes the difficult play Can throw from so many different angles and makes really tough plays look very easy pulls that one foul So what are the skills you look for that make a really good defensive third baseman that elite Well Boo one of the things I think about immediately are just the feet Does he have good feet Is he able to quickly react And when you have good feet you’ve got soft hands And soft hand defenders are able to make tough plays look easy Next off in there for a strike Three balls two strikes and he chases that one and he’s registered three Ks in this one He’s really good hitting the baseball the other way So credit the pitcher for having him out in front of that pitch Clearly he had him fooled Freddy Freeman will come up to hit He’s got the power but great contact skills One of the best contact hitters in the game That one finds the zone That’s strike one He’s pitching well but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes Usually doesn’t work out for success but he can never predict baseball Val sizes this one up Holds it in for the out and there’s two away As good as he’s seeing the ball out of the pitcher’s hand you cannot hang a breaking ball right there Lucky it stayed in the ballpark Here’s Mookie Betts And there’s a foul ball outside corner There’s a strike Blind drive That’s a base hit out into left center field And they had their first hit since the second inning Now that Will Smith to the plate for two in this one First offering and it just misses smoked on the ground to second onto first and they get the out on Smith and that is the inning One hit one left Home half of the fifth coming up it’s the Dodgers two and the Cardinals nothing Back here in St Louis we head to the bottom of the fifth Here’s Nolan Aronado Aronado And the first pitch misses for ball one You know these cards as this game goes on have to be more disciplined at the plate Chasing pitches has been a big part of the story We’ve seen it quite a bit today It’s been tough for him to make contact at times and it just doesn’t look like they’re seeing it very well as a group Swing and a ball lined out towards center Pah puts it away and there’s one away And on the mound you know confidence has to be pretty high with all of the swings and misses He’s had him eaten out of the palm of his hand pretty much all game Here’s the catcher Johel Poso that missed inside Ball one He’s been going after these guys consistently and as a result he’s been able to keep his pitch count low Throwing the ball very well right now Fought off foul That one hit to right He’s got it That’s out number two Now it’s Ryan Val And there’s one thing on his mind this at bat Getting that first hit at the big league level A change up missing and it’s one and0 swing and a miss as he was late that time He’s gotten into a really good rhythm Sat down seven in a row He just wants to get the baseball and deliver it as quickly as possible Keep the momentum going Pah makes the catch and that is that back here in St Louis All right we go to the top half of inning number six Here’s Tay Oscar Hernandez First pitch misses Meanwhile activity in the bullpen Sunny Gray up and throwing Mahon getting cranked up as well And that’s in there for a strike And now it’s even one and one and downstairs Swang at a highf fly ball Well struck back there Gone His 11th of the year It’s 3 nothing That one just sounded different And might have been the loudest moment yet Man my ears are ringing I could feel that swing from the booth That’s an impressive swing of the bat to go over the wall to the opposite field gap And you know there are a lot of guys that just don’t have the pop to do that And probably just as many who don’t have the approach either He let that ball travel and he got great extension on the follow through to drive it out of here Manager out of the dugout now and it looks like we’ll see a change on the mound Matthew Liberator out of the game and he had a tough time keeping them in the ball game today We’ll get a new arm when we come back New pitcher for the Cardinals Sunny Gray This guy’s a strikethrower He’s done an excellent job of avoiding walks so far this season And up next for Los Angeles Andy Pahes First pitch just misses [Music] in the air to left down the line Nukebar sizing this one up Makes the grab One away Edmond Tommy Edmond at the plate up the middle Oh great stop Not in time He’s safe Definitely a tough play right there And he had a little trouble on the transfer Didn’t seem to be able to get the grip and get rid of it And that made all the difference Made at first Enrique Hernandez steps to the plate for the Dodgers Swinging a foul back and that’s out of play Edmond leads off first with one away Next pitch is outside Sy Gray checks on the runner Edmund dives back in safely Hey keeps the bat going with a foul [Music] ball One and two now Swung on belted that one back there Gone It’s their second home run of the inning and they add to their lead It’s five zip [Music] Well I’m not really sure how he kept that fair When you’re out in front on a breaking ball like that such a good chance that it’s going to hook foul but not this time He kept the hands moving forward just long enough to sneak it inside that foul pole Confor at the plate for the third time as he comes up empty there Still only one out here in the inning That’s off the inside corner and one and one upstairs He’s getting a little frustrated out there on the mound getting hit around a little bit Let’s see if he can settle himself down That one ripped That’s back there And that one hops the wall into second and he’s got a double Well they call that an advantage count for a reason You’re so much more likely to get something you can handle Fast ball pretty much middle middle and that’s what you fall asleep dreaming about as a hitter So no surprise he put a great swing on it And at the plate for the Dodgers Miguel Rojas one for two Well in the dirt but come close Misses outside Now 2 and 0 One out and a runner at second [Music] swing and a ball lifted in the air The lead they got it for out number two A little drop and drive on that swing backside collapsing just a little bit trying to put the ball in the air Back to the top of the Dodgers order Here is Freddy Freeman swings and misses 0 and one 0 and one That’s inside off the plate Runner at second Two down and we’re in the top half of the sixth That was the sweeper but it missed [Music] That one the other way And that’ll do it But two round trippers in this inning The long ball was working and the lead is now 5 nothing You’re watching Major League Baseball on the show And welcome back to the ballpark Bottom of the sixth inning and stepping in for the Cardinals Victor Scott First pitch doesn’t find the zone This one ripped but fouled to the [Music] right in the air left field Conforto on the move makes the catch and there’s one gone Now Lars Nbar next up for the Cardinals Come on And a breaking ball drops in for a strike just off the outside edge One down base is empty That one misses and it’s two and one Swing and a miss And he was fooled And it really looks like these hitters have been in between with their timing today Good fast ball excellent slider but they’ve not been able to commit to one velocity and stay there Here’s a 2-2 That’s down and in A slider missed Definitely a swing and miss slider down and in He finished that really well Just couldn’t get him to offer at it [Music] Out towards right center field Pah calls it in Two away Mason Mason win The next to hit Misses off the play Ball one just missed Swing and a ball lifted left field Confordo under it makes the play and it’s out number three And we’re back We go to the top of the seventh and the batter will be the shortstop Mookie bets And Muki takes You know these Dodgers did a great job Boo of just waiting for the right pitch to come their way And I’m seeing very patient at bats out of them One thing that really stands out is their chase rate League average is around 30% but they’re at less than 20% right now Here’s a 200 Sinker gets the bottom of the zone and that’s a strike It’s been tough fooling these hitters and those chase rate numbers back it up They’ve been really smart at the plate and that’s one of the best ways to frustrate a pitcher because nothing seems to come easy goes down swinging for the strikeout Tied him up on a fast ball inside and up to the plate is Will Smith 0 for three with two ground outs and a strikeout [Music] inside That’s ball one That one is absolutely belted And that’s going to bang against the wall around first and hustling for second And that’s a double I’m sure he feels really good about that one That’s a good sound coming off the bat man And as he connected out front and ripped it into the outfield that’s one of those swings where you just don’t even feel the ball hit the barrel That’s a pure stroke Manager out of the dugout and he’s going to make a change Sunny Gray will depart and he’s responsible for the runner on second So the book isn’t closed on him yet We’ll be right back New arm of the mound for the Cardinals Phil Mod I think it’s got to be a little tough coming in out of the pin when your guys are trailing so big on the scoreboard just doesn’t have the same intensity to it But he’s got to find a way because these batters count the same for his stats obviously regardless of the score And now Tay Oscar Hernandez and first offering is fouled off Runner at second here One gone close but called the ball and the count even one and one Well I think he’s trying to get a feel for where that one missed I mean it could have gone either way but he looked a little shocked for a second there in the air on the infield Wind settles under this one and puts the squeeze on that one And there’s two down now Andy P Now it’s going to be Andy Pahes 0 for three with two fly outs and a ground out Ball one there Ball one No strikes ball squirts away a little bit Rudder at second Two down [Music] That misses the zone Three balls no strikes And there’s the automatic He swings and fouls one off So now two on and two outs Here’s a switch hitter Tommy Edmund One for three St Louis and ball one counts one and open pitch misses there Ball two Good spot for the hitter Definitely has the advantage in this count with runners on Look for him to be aggressive on this next pitch Smith on second Pah at first Two out of the inning On the corner for a strike Cut out and miss struck him out That’s out number three And the Red Birds bullpen comes through midway in inning number seven And it’s time to stretch It’s the Dodgers five and the Cardinals nothing We’re back in a new pitcher here to start the bottom of the seventh Show Otani ready to make his season debut Number 17 Shi Otani Here’s the second baseman Brendan Donovan He’s kind of an outlier especially when guys are consciously sacrificing contact to deliver power And that’s downstairs one and0 Yeah his swing is so good It’s in the zone a long time He gets the barrel to it a lot and that produces more base hits And another ball Singi One of the things that’s interesting is that guys really don’t worry about swing and miss from an offensive standpoint anymore So when you see somebody who contact this one swung on and hit well way back there drops in for a hit Couldn’t run it down and they hold him at second Maybe this is going to be the moment they start the comeback Well patience and discipline paid off right there as he got into an advantage count This was a really nice swing Didn’t quite get enough behind it to get it out of here but once it got over his head in left field it was extra bases all the way runner in scoring position No outs And next is the Cardinals four hitter Wilson Contrarus That one pushed foul Yeah And the domino effect of that is running up pitch counts on pitchers and then either getting them to a place of fatigue or getting into the bullpen perhaps before you get to those higher leverage arms at the back end swinging a foul straight back One of the things that Jim Leland used to say when I was broadcasting with the Marlins the longer a plate appearance goes for a batter the more likely it is that something good will happen for the hitter Stays alive drilled in the air high and deep right field And that one is off the wall Runner comes in from second to score They cut the lead That’s two consecutive extra base hits for this team Anytime you can drive a ball into the gap the other way it feels so good And that’s when you know you’re right where you need to be at the plate It’s even better when it gets you extra bases Got to love looking in at your dugout and seeing your teammates fired up So now here’s the Cardinals designated hitter Ivonne Herrera Just missed Yeah And I figured you would get Kat into this because you had a free dinner at his house the other night That is [Music] true Man at second Swing and that ball smashed on the line lunges but can’t make the catch Lead runner puts the brakes on So now it’s runners at first and third Everything came together for him Put a pretty good jolt into that one Great swing nice balance and weight transfer And he got it to drop in out there in the deep part of the field And you can feel this crowd waking up a bit here as the guys are starting to make some noise with their bats Here’s Nolan Aronado and that’s in the dirt Ball one two and in the dirt Nothing happening on the bases though The Dodgers bullpen with some action Dustin May looks to be getting ready for manager Dave Roberts Visia the lefty warming up as well Runners at the corners Nobody out here The bottom of the seventh Next offering is down low and they’re all loaded up Four pitches That’s an easy walk man He could have walked me right there Boo The last one wasn’t even close Yoel Poso next up for the Cardinals fast for a strike Well this is a tough situation with the bases loaded but the healthiest mindset is just try to get outs one hitter at a time The tying run at the plate Swings and misses And the count is 0 and two Got him And that is a big first out Ryan Valade next up for the Cardinals And this is a big opportunity for him to pick up his teammate right here And a first pitch fast ball is in for a strike Tough situation right here So important as a pitcher to get ahead in the count as he did right [Music] there Tying run at the plate This one in the dirt And well done to keep it close Strike three And that’s two in a row And now the center fielder Victor Scott He is singled and he has flyed to left And that is cut on and missed And it’s 0 and one 01’s the count And he gets that fast ball by him upstairs Good luck catching up to that one Two outs Bases are full Bands another And that’s three straight strikeouts So it may be too little too late but they’re on the board here in the late going It’s now a 51 ball game It’s Major League Baseball on the show Back here at Bush Stadium we go to the eighth Here’s Kik Hernandez [Music] Ma back to work Pitch is in there and that’s strike one and one Top of the zone for a called strike Cuts and misses It’s a strike out It’s a good breaking ball there just off the corner where you can’t really do much damage but it’s close enough to where you’ve got to protect and he just couldn’t find a way to fight it off The batter will be Michael Conforto Fouls one off out of play back to our left And that’s outside and the count is one and one Went with the sweeper but it misses Base is empty one away and we’re in the top of the eighth Next offering way off the plate First pitch strike from the pitcher but then no panic at all by the hitter Very patient showing good discipline Now he’s in the driver’s seat with a 3-1 count Next offering is in for a strike Gets a piece and stays alive Swing and a miss Curve ball in the dirt Up with it Fires to first out on the drop Third strike Two gone Oh that’s pretty much the dream Two strike curve ball if you’re the pitcher Hard downward break at the very end that just dips below the swing path And they say pitchers want to try to bounce that pitch right on top of the plate So that was exactly what he was looking for on the mound Two outs space is empty and the batter now Miguel Rojos And first offering is fouled off And that one wrapped foul I wouldn’t say the game’s close right now but it’s not out of reach either I mean these guys really need to put up a zero on the board just to maintain a little hope Fights that one away And the count remains 0 and2 [Music] And there’s a ball Two strikes And a base hit Joey gets on base and keeps it going right there He does a great job of staying in the big part of the field Man there are a lot of hits there There’s Freddy Freeman now That one in there across the letters That one pushed to the left and fouled Let’s win Two outs Good eye on that spot And that’s awfully close I don’t know how you take that He’s seeing the ball out of the pitcher’s hand really well right now And then misses off the outside edge He’s really tightening up his hitting zone with two strikes here I love it Swing and a miss Struck him out Make it four strikeouts for him on the bump today So the Dodgers leave one They’re up 5-1 Back now New pitcher on the mound as we roll into the bottom of the eighth Dustin May Well he’s been excellent against left-handed hitters this year And that’s his first test This looks like a good move to the pin in terms of the matchup So back to the top of the order now The left fielder Lars Nukebar 0 for three with three flyyous Yeah that’s fouled off [Music] Activity in the bullpen for the Dodgers Ryan Lutis looks to be getting ready for manager Dave Roberts [Music] and that one is in the dirt now One and two and they’ll do it again Swing get a ball popped up Edmmond going up One down Now batting Now the number two hitter Mason win Three flyyous already He’s 0 for three this to center field Pahus makes a nice running catch Oh those can be pretty fun as an outfielder Got to put it into his highest gear and go a long way to track that one down Nothing better than that You feel like a wide receiver playing football [Music] Donovan in now Takes ball one off the plate Two down nobody on here The bottom half of the eighth inning Next offering is in for a strike Right through there for a strike Next offering misses down and away That one to first Hernandez He takes it himself to the bag and that’ll do it Three up three down that time Ninth inning coming up It’s the Dodgers five and the Cardinals won We’re back It’s the top of the ninth and there’s a new pitcher on the mound Number 49 He pitched yesterday and we’ll see him once again Here’s Mooki now Short stop moving back The short stop takes the ball Move into the bullpen for the Cardinals Number 35 getting ready to go Palante also throwing up the middle Oh look at the stop Throws from the seat of his pants on target He got him Nice play now the catcher up to hit Will Smith one for four with a double outside low and that is ball one That one’s missed One down Base is empty And now two and one Two balls one strike And that one fouled off Line to right and that’ll be a base hit So they get a man aboard with a one out single Now that right [Music] here let’s go And that’s through there for a strike It’s 0 and one [Music] One ball one strike in the dirt Blocked Ser catches the zone at the knees Good approach right there You want to get something just a little higher that you can elevate Stay on that double play Fouled off And they’ll do it again [Music] Just off the outside corner and the count is even Two and two It’s so hard to slow yourself down when you see that juicy breaking ball but the most success happens when you try to take that right back up the middle approach And that’s downed away Really nice two- strike pitch right there Very tempting but couldn’t get the chase Foul ball and it remains a full count Ninth pitch of the atbat due next Fouled off again and it remains three and two And that’s a base hit And now to a board But when you see that many pitches in an at bat your chances of succeeding go up And right there we see the result Andy Pahes steps to the plate for the Dodgers 0 for three in this one And first offering is fouled off Two on one out Now wanted swings and chases a low one there Well here shows the pitcher that he’s willing to go after that pitch down in the zone So perhaps he’ll come back to it Still try to get that ground ball double play And that’s downstairs and outside The only adjustment he needs to make is his target If you aim at the outside corner that slider’s going to end up way off the plate Perhaps look a little more down the middle and you get it right where you want it And that one is lifted in the air The lead puts it away for the outd So first and second with two outs And next for LA Tommy Edmund And that is out of play Right through there for a strike And that just misses Foul ball Still a one and two count hit on the ground to the right side but that rolls [Music] foul Spoils a two strike pitch and he’ll see another First and second two down here in the top of the ninth and down on strikes Third out and that ends the frame No runs on two hits no errors and two men left stranded onto the bottom of inning number nine 456 coming up it’s the Dodgers five and the Cardinals one Back here in St Louis last chance for the home team and up to hit is Wilson Contrarus That’s a strike across the top of the zone Well don’t expect too many more high fast balls This is a good sinker ball pitcher and sometimes they can make mistakes trying to pitch up in the zone Look for him to stay down around the knees to be effective May delivers on the ground right side and foul ball Fouls it off Still one and two just spoils that one and it remains two and two and this is inside That one misses So a leadoff walk Pretty good spot on the outside but just couldn’t quite clip the zone That’s a stone cold take Ivon Herrera now at the plate a swing and a miss And that’s strike one There it was A high velocity fastball in the zone I think a little frustration from walking the previous hitter He’s got good stuff Pitch inside the zone and trust it swinging and a miss There’s the change up No balls two strikes Fights it off He’ll see another swings and misses Struck him out He’s two outs away Nolan Aronado will hit next puts it in the air out towards left center Squeezes it and there’s two down Batting number 63 One out left for the Cardinals And here’s the catcher Johel Poso 0 for three with two flyyous and a strikeout And first offering is fouled off Contrarus the runner at first with two gone and a foul ball May is just one strike away Foul ball It stays nothing and two [Applause] Got him And that’s the ball game Sometimes road trips can be tough You’re away from your family But when you can win silence that opposing crowd it makes things just a little bit better Makes the road trip just a little bit shorter 5-1 is how it ends Dave Roberts and company celebrate in the dugout for Chris Singleton and our entire crew here at MLB the show Thanks for stopping by I’m John Shami Talk to you soon Stop it
