taco a home run hit to the opposite field taco his 13th and it’s a one-run game expand your vocabulary by listening to every game on the MLB app and MLB.com take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following i really don’t know what to say i’m just uh so happy I gave something these people cheer we all did i mean it was a great game both teams played incredible it was a great game that’s Mike Piaza after he hit an eighth inning go ahead home run in the first New York Mets home game after 911 hear moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com despite getting pretty good performances the left-hander Rodriguez he’s started to figure out exactly what he wants to do and once you establish your pattern he likes to throw the fast ball up and in really jam he likes to throw the change up down and away and the cutter again he’s facing a right-handed heavy lineup that’s something he’s going to start getting used to he’s seeing seven or eight righties the last three times out and so you get in a pattern if you can just execute those pitches you can go on a roll roll where you mow down several hitters in a row it feels like the Diamondbacks they’re getting stronger performances from the bullpen and now that you’ve got Catel and you’ve got Guriel back in the starting lineup you’re hoping the offense is going to be able to do what it did in those first couple games against the Rockies but Coley we kind of saw lack of confidence from this group when the bullpen was struggling it feels like they’ve been able to patch some things up here and maybe this is the thing that can help build a winning streak into the trade deadline where I know the Dbacks have a lot of questions on what are they going to do the hardest environment to pitch in Kors Field the bullpen allowed one run over the 10 innings in those three games and they’ve been brilliant i think they’re starting to figure out Tori’s comfortable with who he can bring in to close out an inning who he can bridge who he wants in leverage and then kind of who can get four or five outs and he’s starting to single those guys out and they’re executing really well first of three against the White Sox these are three critical games the Dbacks they feel like they need all of them and we are going to take our first break but when we come back we’re going to jump into the action starting lineups and then first pitch Diamondbacks versus the White Sox play-by-play action right around the corner on the Morgan and Morgan Debbacks radio network every day savings energy efficiency

following i really don’t know what to say i’m just uh so happy I gave something these people cheer we all did i mean it was a great game both teams played incredible it was a great game that’s Mike Piaza after he hit an eighth inning go-ahead home run in the first New York Mets home game after 911 hear moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com great moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921 smith courts went into right down the line it may go crazy folks go crazy it’s a home run and the Cardinals have won the game by the score of three to two and a home run by the Wizards catch the next unforgettable call on the MLB app and MLB.com 59 wins 38 losses leading off at shortstop Heraldo Purdomo batting second at second base Cadel Marte batting third the DH Maven Smith and in the cleanup spot at first base Josh Naylor batting fifth at third base Seu Haneo Suarez batting sixth in left field Lordis Guriel Jr batting seventh right fielder Randall Britick batting eighth in center field Alec Thomas and rounding out the starting nine it is the catcher Jose Herrera again the lineup for the Diamondbacks Perdomo Marte Smith Naylor Suarez Guriel Britic Thomas and Herrera and on the mound for the Diamondbacks it is going to be left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez rodriguez 32 years old in his second season with the Dbacks so far he’s 2 and4 with a 5.93 ERA he’s going to be making his 13th start of the regular season now we take a look at the starting lineup for the Chicago White Socks they have a record of 25 wins and 53 losses leading off at shortstop Chase Madrid batting second in left field Austin Slater batting third at first base Miguel Vargas and batting fourth the DH Edgar Carroll batting fifth at center field Luis Robert Jr batting sixth at second base Lenin Sosa batting seventh rookie catcher Kyle Teal batting eighth in right field Michael A taylor and rounding out the starting nine it is third baseman Vinnie Capra again the lineup for the White Sox features Maj Slater Vargas Carol Robert Sosa Teal Taylor and Capra and Coley on the mound for the White Socks here in the opener it is the out of nowhere surprisingly strong right-hander Shane Smith you mentioned he was a rule five pick and somebody from the White Sox did their homework cuz they’ve nailed on this kid great velocity averages around 95 with the fast ball likes to pitch off that but has a really really above average change up he’ll feature that a lot today because it’s a left-handed heavy lineup and a couple breaking balls as well so he’s a four pitch pitcher for the most part has one that goes one direction and one that goes the other way pretty solid stuff even more amazing the fact that this kid only pitched 10 and a third innings in college he started off as a freshman as a reliever his sophomore year suffered an elbow injury pretty early on in the campaign had to have surgery but coming out of that was still drafted the stuff looked good in a lot of workouts less than 200 innings professionally before he got to this rule five situation where he was taken by the White Sox and like you said throwing the ball supremely well and really great opportunity to be an all-star for this White Sock group going to get about three starts before the All-Star break so can continue to improve on those numbers it’s a stellar RA and he definitely stands out on a White Sox team that’s using a lot of players we mentioned they’re trying to find who’s going to be part of this rebuild so they’re bringing guys up and down all over the place just trying to find the secret sauce the umpires for this one ron Culpa the crew chief is calling balls and strikes cory Blazer is at first Derek Thomas is at second and Alex Tulsi is the umpire over at third heatwave warnings all throughout the day here in Chicago right now it is 90° incredibly humid the place to be is probably somewhere on the lake unless you’re a Diamond Bag fan in which case the place to be is right here at Great Field and we are ready to get it going the White Socks in their white uniform sets with the black pinstripes the Dbacks in there black uniforms with gray pants and the first pitch from Shane Smith is a fast ball that missed inside away we go first pitch is at 641 partly cloudy skies in the south side of Chicago as now this one is just off the mark missed outside with 96 two balls no strikes almost struggled a little bit with his offense in the series against the Rockies that averaged 56 did have a big two-run homer though in a game on Saturday as now this one swung on and fouled back that’s going to make it a two ball one strike count shane Smith 25 years old he grew up in Massachusetts played his college ball at Wake Forest as this one is swung on that is ripped out towards the gap in right center field that is going to get down for a base hit in front of Robert robert struggling with the offense his defense though very solid he gets it in quickly and holds Purdomo to a lead off base hit four straight fast balls purdomo gets this one right down the middle and you’re not going to fool him with a middle fast ball gore the guy coming up to the plate now in second baseman Marte leading vote getter among second baseman in the National League although we need everyone back in Arizona and Diamondback fans everywhere to continue to vote as could tell out in fronts the first pitch back more specifically for Auano Suarez we’ll talk more about him when he comes up he’s batting fifth today had most of the game off yesterday in the finale against the Rockies batting from the left side here’s the pitch and takes a strike does Catel that was a nice breaking ball bottom of the zone and that’s going to make it 0 and two a lot of velocity here from Smith able to also dial up some of those high 90s heaters towards the end of his outing he’s not a max effort pitcher here in the first now the 02 datel takes outside it’s now one and two really tried to slow him down with the curveball that’s the slowest pitch he throws the other the change up in the slider throws him right around 90 mph runner at first nobody out we are in the top of the first inning and now Marte going to ask for time 13 homers 30 RBI’s a 310 average and this is a guy who missed remember a month of the season after injuring his hamstring in Washington back in early April smith ready and from the stretch he’s going to throw to first to check on Domo he’s back in there safely catel was on an absolute heater before he was given the day off on Sunday and now this one-two pitch swung on and Catel just gets a piece to roll and foul and stay alive get six extra base hits during a three-game period most of those coming against the Rockies and for as much as he’s had his injury history in that particular venue it’s also one of his best places that he’s produced another one two grounded through the right side of base into right field purdomo is going to hold there and not test the arm of Michael A taylor debecks with two men on and nobody out after backto-back hits in the first inning off the change up too catel’s so good with his hands and he can have his full body going out but keep the hands back and just flick the ball and that’s what he does here finds a hole on the right side haven Smith getting another start here in the three hole for the Diamondbacks not hitting for a ton of power as of late but he does have a very keen eye draws his walks and the guy hitting behind him he’s also been on a heater in Josh Naylor so you’re looking for a table setter although right now the table seems to be set as Shane Smith comes set and his first pitch in the dirt for ball one right now smith the rule five pick leading all rookies in erra with that 2.85 coming into play today ball no strikes the count here’s the pitch to Paven and that one also downstairs for ball two two and 0 pitting 263 with six homers and 21 driven in rare situation where both he and Randall Grid are starting in the same game now a mound visit between pitcher and catcher as Smith has missed with the last few an unsurprising P in another 20 count the way that he finds himself in these hitters counts all the time pitchers just have a hard time throwing him strikes got to be careful if you just groove a fast ball here to Paven two balls no strikes first and second nobody out and Shane Smith he throws pav swings and fouls it back two and one the count it’s a smart move by Pin a two- count you get a little mound visit from the catcher i mean your odds are overwhelmingly in your favor you’re going to get the fast ball righthander ready and now the two-1 pitch swung on that is popped up down the left field line long run for Vinnie Capra and backpedaling makes the catch both runners have to hang tight it’s a foul pop out for Pavin and that’ll bring up Naylor with one out smith smartly goes over and covers the vacated third base as both third baseman and shortstop went out there you wanted to I mean the table still is set but he wanted even more set for Josh Naylor coming up naylor hitting 303 nine homers and 49 driven in updated hitter right-handed pitcher and the first one is inside for ball one not thrown a ton of first pit strikes here early so far Naylor has basically been steady Eddie here in the month of June as we’ve got about a week left before the calendar flips again here’s the 10 naylor swing and a miss then after a pitch in the dirt and that is going to make it a one-1 count only two home runs this month for Naylor but mind you he’s only got nine on the season as we’re getting close to the halfway point as this one won take it for a strike got a really good fast ball on the outside edge to make it one and two and for the Diamondbacks they’ve just kind of been battling 500 for the better part of almost two months now the lowest they’ve been was about four under the highest they’ve been is five over on the season with a combination of injuries and inconsistent play it’s just been up and down a step forward and a step back a hokeie pokey if you will now the pitch taylor takes in the dirt gets away from the catcher kyle Teal the rookie trying to block it it’s squirted to his right and that is big it allows Purdomo to get to third and Catel to get to second on the wild pitch dex took advantage of this exact scenario in Colorado and you just have to block that he tries to scoop it with the backhand off the glove and now both runners in scoring position and Will Venibal rookie manager going to bring his infield in two- two pitch inside to that hit Naylor almost he threw the bat into the other batter’s box and now picks it up and dusts it off as the home plate umpire Ron Kulpa is going to clean off home plate about as close as it can be without grazing the jersey you would think certainly and for Smith he steps more towards third base and throws across his body and he’s really pulling that ball into the lefties and missing in there a lot full count second and third one man down and the pitch from Smith swung on that’s a rip into right field down the line fair ball peromo scores here comes Catel he’ll score as well and in standing at second is Josh Naylor with a two-run double and that’s inexperienced both behind the plate and on the mound he’s going to swing at any fast ball and you can’t just throw him a fast ball 3-2 i’m surprised they didn’t throw that change up he’s all over the fast ball and picks up two RBI’s to start the inning and with those two runs the Dexs are safe at home with Blue Sky Pest Control the official pest control provider for the Arizona Diamond Bags and Chase Field great start here in the first and now here is the reigning National League player of the week Auano Suarez first pitch unccorks a foul ball right side out of play going to count nothing in one suarez the past week 11 for 25 with four homers and 10 RBI’s that’s a 440 batting average no balls in a strike pitch from Smith and that hits Suarez on the hand and he is going to be awarded first base he’s holding his hand he’s headed straight towards the dugout and now out comes Tory Lavell and now out comes a trainer and just when the Diamondbacks suffered an injury like this to Corbin Carroll an aspiring Allstar they’re looking like it might have just happened again here to Auano Suarez oh and much like Carol too it’s the top hand the backhand that comes around and you’re so exposed that way you get the front hand padded and he takes it in about the same spot i think almost the exact same location diamondbacks are awaiting an MRI result on Corbin Carroll to figure out if they need to put him on the injured list now Suarez on a knee helmet off access Bazto the trainer working on each of the metacarpals perhaps a fangi or two you can tell whenever he hits that spot gino’s flinching so ton of pain right now and it takes a lot to get him out of the game he’s going to take the other batting glove off we’ll see if he takes the shinuard off that’s usually a promising sign i mean he’s basically burying his head in his forearm right now and everybody certainly associated with the Diamondbacks watching with a tremendous amount of concern and baited breath he puts his helmet back on now manager even gave him a little strength test shook his hand told Suarez to squeeze it i think Tory wanted some burden of proof before Suarez went to first and now out comes the pitching coach to have a mound visit that is Ethan Catz debeck’s already in front two to nothing they now have runners at first and second with only one out lordis Guru Jr at the plate so this has the potential to be a big inning meanwhile Suarez it is his right hand that is the concern and more specifically it is the pinky and the ring finger of that right hand if not almost near the base of the palm that he seems to be massaging remember when Carol was hit by a pitch he stayed on the bases and then defensively he was replaced the next inning granted that was transitioning from the top of the eighth to the bottom of the eighth this is a little bit different here in the first inning but certainly we’ll be monitoring him as Suarez continues to hold his wrist in the box is Guriel and the first pitch to him is a strike call that is a fast ball on the corner and they count nothing in one two nothing Diamondbacks two on one out and from the bell Shane Smith is 01 pitch in the dirt backhanded by Teal sort of moved to his right a little bit but again just two batters ago ball in the dirt it skipped away from him now the pitch there’s a swing and a miss or pardon me a foul ball went just through the legs of Teal and now the count of the ball in two strikes hit by pitch is not that uncommon for Smith who’s struggled that’s his ninth on the year second in the American League runners go the pitch grounded up the middle and it’s backhanded by the second baseman Lenin Sosa who throws to first in time he went to cover the bag and then just kept going and basically ended up at short where he made the play that’s exactly why he was over there if you’re wondering how he got there so quick just a weakly hit ground ball but Debeck’s going to take any runs they can get right now putting guys in motion early on this is the kind of thing that reminded you back when you had this shift you’d have your third baseman playing over and shallow right and a ground out to him would still be a five to three cuz here’s Randall Critic first pitch slowing outside ball one naylor at third suarez at second back’s trying to make this a big inning this is the seventh man to come to the plate and now the 10 richik swings fouls it away smith really struggling first pitch strike and just strike command right now normally around 63% which is better than average and struggling to find it here one and one the count here’s the pitch richik swing sends a deep drive towards right unfortunately it is slicing foul and out of play a deliberate effort to try and hit something to the opposite field but now he’s got a battle here one and two richik 255 average on the season three homers 15 RBI’s he’s now made four consecutive starts going back to the finale against the Rock or the Blue Jays as this one too is just off the outside edge two balls two strikes that change up 30th pitch up coming too really long first inning the 2- two richik fights that one off and this is a guy who understood what his role was as a platoon guy but also respectfully said “I I still my see see myself as an everyday player with the offensive capability.” Dutu grounded high towards first it’s glove by Vargas smith covering at the bag is there in time and the inning comes to an end the Dbacks made him work and it cost Smith two runs but he strands a pair in scoring position and we go to the bottom of the first inning it’s a great night for baseball this matchup features some of the best talent in the game a lot of power a lot of marquee names here we go buckle up folks there’s a guy in spot the fats have double stuff we’re just playing power ball this place doesn’t know what scenes

starts Matrith off with a kneeh high strike diamondback third baseman Auano Suarez was hit on the hand in his first at bat hit by a pitch as now the 01 his second strike to make it nothing in two he has been removed from the game ilmaro Vargas is now at third base and I am sure that Suarez is going down to the tunnel to get some imaging done here’s the O2 pedrith takes strike three what a surprising at bat that turned out to be game time was 640 buddy i’m not sure if Maj knew that or not he looks at three right down the middle all right then one up one down on three pitches don’t think I’ve seen that and now here is veteran Austin Slater two homers five RBI’s a 234 average and he has started off with a first pit strike rodriguez fourth start since coming off the IIL with a stiff shoulder as now that is swung on grounded to third diving Vargas back to his feet and he throws to first in time off the bench and an immediate impact defensively as now there are two down ball finds you everyone that plays knows that you go in there expect to get it and what a play takes away a sure single now that right there our cool play of the game brought to you by Chaz Roberts chaz Roberts serving you since 42 so when your family needs four generations of AC and plumbing knowhow and expertise remember choose Chaz and now the first pitch in the dirt to Miguel Vargas down nothing one ball and no strikes rodriguez a quick worker 10 too high 43 hitter 10 homers 34 driven in by far been the White Sox best offensive piece especially since Mike Tauman went down with a hamstring injury as this one is swung on and fouled back two balls one strike to count vargas came up with the Dodgers came over to the White Sox in the Michael Copek trade last year as the two-1 pitch swung on and fouled away he really struggled in almost all facets of his game when he arrived for the White Socks and you can almost understand what a change of scenery it must have been going from the best of the best in the Dodgers a team that has been in first place it feels like for the better part of 15 years as there’s a swing and miss it’s joining the White Socks been much better but he strikes out here and how about that a one two three inning for Eduardo Rodriguez he strikes out two and we go to the second it is the the big hits all the great brats you got to be kidding me and all the swagger

skipper Tory Lavell talks with Burns and Gambo Friday afternoons at 2:30 on Arizona Sports 987 in the Arizona Sports app alec Thomas takes a first pitch strike as we get ready to start the top of the second inning it’ll be Thomas Herrera and Pommo jane Smith giving up a couple of runs in the first now thomas swings and misses and it’s nothing at two 250 average three homers and 19 driven in on the year for the Chicago native Alec Thomas mount Carmel High School 02 swing and just getting a piece is Thomas to stay alive caramel about four miles from Raid Field about 15-minute drive as this one swung on and again pulled foul thomas right now just swinging at everything he sees out of the right hand of Shane Smith right-hander ready and two is swung on and drilled foul this time left side thomas being a bit stubborn here all the pitches in the zone so you got him 02 and he hasn’t thrown out of the zone to try to get him to chase yet another 02 that one is in the dirt and that is going to make it one ball and two strikes right ander has his sign and out of the wind up here’s the one two missed outside two balls two strikes coley it’s a very unique windup here because usually guys are a bit I don’t know slow is the right word but I would say smooth the two- two pitch swinging a miss high fast ball and Thomas strikes out he’s very quick with the step back and the step through it’s a simple line wind up the leg steps forward and then he throws across his body and we’re seeing the trouble of that right now as he’s very inconsistent with his location here is Jose Herrerero and batting left-handed he takes a strike amazing thing about Shane Smith right i mentioned before played his college baseball at Wake Forest came in as a freshman was basically used mostly as a a high leverage reliever late in the season i mean got injured his sophomore year so he hardly threw any innings with the Demon Deacons as there’s the second strike but his coach who is the current coach at Wake Forest Tom Walter was also the head coach for his father at George Washington University already has coached two generations of Smiths which sounds pretty non-specific when you say it out loud the O2 is in the dirt but talk about father and son relationship walter probably serving almost like a father figure for him knowing how he molded his dad’s playing career there’s the one-two swung on guided foul by Herrera hitting 176 this year with a homer and six driven in accees empty one out we are at the top of inning number two and the one-two pitch outside two balls two strikes and the Diamondbacks have a new backup catcher James McCann is signed and activated as this pitch is off plate away c now runs full at three balls and two strikes payoff pitch is in the dirt both four nice at bat by Herrera as he draws the one out walk that’s what he’s been able to do getting a lot of starts lately he’s been very patient and he’ll make you throw the ball in the strike zone and Smith really battling it right now a long walk behind the mound trying to figure out some type of tempo and rhythm here very quickly mccann last year spent 65 games with the Orioles this year 41 games in the Braves farm system a guy with a ton of big league experience as Purdomo spins out of the way from pitch that missed inside for ball one really warm humid day here in Chicago it’s been warm everywhere in the Midwest his cheeks look a little flush to Smiths as this one in the dirt skips forward and nowhere to go for Herrera however the count on Pommo at two balls and no strikes smith opts to pitch with very thin long sleeve undershirt might might actually even be two pitching sleeves now Purdomo using his timeout something in the eye little surprise to tell you here in Chicago windy day in the windy city wind right now blowing out towards left field and now this 20 is high for ball three three balls no strikes right now for Smith he’s thrown almost 50 pitches and an inning in a third three 0 taking all the way is Purdomo he looks at a strike purdomo with a leadoff base hit in the first was our first hit of the game presented by New Vision Autoglass new Vision and the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation are teaming up to donate funds to veterans with every hit this season as part of the hits for heroes program they almost knew Purdomo was going to take a second strike given how erratic Smith has been this inning and for the second consecutive hitter the count has run full 3-2 pitch and just missed low that is ball four backto back walks after the strike out of Thomas and that is trouble as Catel Marte now comes to the plate certainly don’t want to walk the nine guy you never want to follow that up with backto-back walks really searching for it out there he’s just trying to find some combination that’s working and maybe that’s where you’re almost hoping a catcher is going to say “All right maybe let’s start with a first pitch breaking ball or a change of something to get him off the fast ball that seems to be missing.” First pitch Catel and he takes in the dirt and right now it feels like the big problem is that everything that is in a fast ball he can’t throw for a strike and that’s a scary place to be against this Diamondback offense that just rips fast balls here’s the 10 catel tried to check his swing doesn’t matter strike called the count now at one and one diamondbacks have a two nothing lead we’re in the top of the second they threaten once again now the 1-1 swung on and fouled marte very out in front of that pitch as it’s now one and two in the back of his mind he remembers Marte singled on a change up and I think that’s the pitch that he really wants to throw him here here’s the pitch too high and it’s now a two- two count smith really grinding not showing a ton of demonstrative emotion but you can just tell that frustration’s got to be building inside here’s a 2-2 catel out in front hits it out to center field it sends Robert back center fielder makes the catch and Herrera not going to tag evac still have runners at first and second and now two down for the DH pave Smith fell behind pave 20 last time was able to induce a pop out that time he threw Catel a way better change up this one down off the plate dags left two men on base at the top of the first they were able to score trying to avoid leaving two guys on here in the second now Smith will disengage first of two first pitch way outside this is the first time the Diamondbacks have been at rate field since the 2023 season when the Dbacks played their final three regular season road games as the 10 there’s a swing and a drive deep to right field on its way gone haven Smith a no doubter to right his seventh and he cleans the slate it’s five nothing Diamondbacks his second on this road trip after blasting one in Toronto and that’s just a middle fast ball i’ve not been struggling with that command just trying to get one in the zone paving ready for it and with that trip around the diamonds stop by any Daniels Jewelers and say home run for your free team bracelet and $50 gift card toward any purchase of $99 or more daniel’s Jewelers own the dream that thing was smashed and now it brings up Naylor and the first pitch is swung on and fouled away well that’s tough for Shane Smith he’d been throwing the ball so well but you look at his last two starts now six runs five earned against the Cardinals in four and a third innings five runs all earned in an inning in two/3s against the Diamondbacks has certainly jolted his erra skywards both of those season highs now Naylor’s shaking out that shoulder we’ve seen him do that a couple times when he takes a big swing zra’s gone from 285 to 3.39 turn of two innings five runs on four hits for the Dags two of those three runs on a homer by Walks and now the 01 naylor taking low and inside one ball one strike count still shaking out that front right shoulder one-1 strike called naylor shaking his head he thought it was wide it looked to be just maybe on the corner as it is now a one and two count here’s the pitch from Smith swung on and found and now Naylor hits it off his leg and drops the bat goes limping around the dirt seems to be all the appendages are falling off for Naylor first the arm now the leg slugging left-handed hitting Mr potato Head and he has the big chin guard on but we’ve noticed he’ll wear padded leggings underneath too that have protection around the knee i think I mean it helps for foul balls but I think also for sliding talking stick resortation is back stay in play with rates as low as $129 and now Smith home with a one-two swing and a miss there goes the bat and I think that Naylor is holding on to that right shoulder he could use a stay at Talking Stick Resort after that at bat dbacks score three runs and we go to the bottom of the second it is the Dbacks five and the White Socks nothing on the Morgan and Morgan Dbacks radio network it’s a beautiful day at the grocery store the shopper take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following i really don’t know what to say i’m just uh so happy I gave something

race against cancer presented by Dignity Health Cancer Institute the 5K run or walk is downtown at Chasefield on Sunday September 28th register now at dbbacks.com/raith the Arizona Diamondbacks play here arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app diamondbacks have a five to nothing lead as Edgar Carroll leads off for the White Socks first pitch to the right-handed hitter is down for ball one it’ll be Carol Robert followed by Lenin Sosa as this one from Rod missed inside and Macau now with two balls and no strikes backs battling the injury front both prior and during this game as the 20 catches the inside edge it’s now two balls in a strike rodriguez is 2-1 ripped towards the left field line that is a fair ball and it’s going to get all the way to the wall guriel collects and goes to the cut off man Cordomo as Carol into second with a leadoff double not much of a power hitter in the cleanup spot no homers on the year but pulled his hands in nicely to line that one down the left field line and here is Luis Robert Jr having a headscratching season a guy who was cornerstone offensive piece the White Socks for many years big right-handed hitter and first pitch he swings and misses as the count is nothing at one he is having a dismal offensive performance to begin 2025 when going into the year I thought many probably projected him to be a great trade asset for Chicago here’s the 01 pitch swinging a foul going to count nothing and two 185 average seven homers 31 driven in he’s got one of the highest strikeout rates of his entire career and has one of the low lowest weighted runs created plus of any qualified hitter in the major leagues here’s the O2 and that’s off the plate if a 100 is par for the course and all things you do offensively and every digit above and below is one percentage point higher robert this year has a weighted runs created plus a 59 41 points lower than the league average player one two he swings and he fouls that fast ball back made his debut in 2020 finished second in the rookie of the year behind Kyle Lewis an all-star two years ago finished that year with 38 homers here’s the one-two robert takes downstairs now at a ball and two strikes and still only 27 years old five to nothing Dag’s lead here’s the pitch robert swing and a miss and he is down on strikes you mentioned that strikeout rate and bat just looks like it’s not catching up to anything he swung way late on that cut fast ball looks like right now the White Socks have some action up in their bullpen a right-hander getting loose and with the way he is throwing it almost seems like the day is indeed finished for rookie Shane Smith here’s the pitch swinging a miss by the second baseman Sosa another right-handed hitter and the count is nothing and one sosa hitting 275 four homers 17 driven in the 01 swinging a miss once again Rodriguez generating a ton of swing and miss for this forcing fast ball which in this game is only topping out at about 93 mph does this remind you a little bit of what happened in that national start he just kept throwing that fast ball and cutter at the top of the zone got swing and miss after swing and miss the O2 pitch strike three called sosa bat on his shoulders makes the U-turn back to the dugout and that is now four strikeouts here for the Diamondback left-hander two in each inning so far and this one much like the leadoff batter took a fast ball couldn’t have been more right down the middle here is rookie Kyle Teal one of the top prospects in the White Sox organization and first pitch to him is a strike called Teal only 23 years old he was the 14th overall pick out of the University of Virginia by the Boston Red Sox i mean he was traded this year this off season in the Garrick Crocher deal here’s the 01 teal takes down low one ball one strike the count primarily used as a catcher he’s a great athlete in fact the White Sox already deployed him in left field back on Friday in emergency situation although Will Venal says that’s not going to happen again soon as the 1-1 is low two balls one strike a lot of really encouraging numbers as well for him more particularly beyond the batted ball stuff but drew a decent amount of walks in the miners a two-1 pitch swung on and that one fouled into the netting it’s two and two had a relatively okay strikeout rate but guys who don’t walk unless you just hit for a ton of power usually they just don’t make it in the big leagues two balls two strikes and now Rodriguez home and strike three called got him looking on the corner he strikes out the side after the leadoff double to Caro and we’ve played two in Chicago it is the Dbacks five and the White Sox nothing of the Morgan to Morgan moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921 smith courts one in right down the line it may go go crazy folks go crazy it’s a home run and the Cardinals have won the game by the three to two a home run by the Wizards catch the next

11:45 on Arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app oh pitching changes going to be made here for the White Socks will Venible is bringing in the right-hander Dan Altavilla called to the bullpen brought to you by Sanderson Ford best play to New Ford is at Sanderson Ford altavilla 32 years old a native of Pennsylvania originally drafted by the Mariners is now with his fourth different team since 2020 with the White Socks he has been fabulous and Ilmar Vargas first pitch tries to bunt it it’s fielded by the pitcher Altilla and his throw to first in time not a very good bunt that time for Vargas he is the first out have to get that pass the pitcher on the left side and instead pretty much right back to the mound an easy play and delivers a strike over to first with the White Socks this year this is the 11th appearance and in the prior 10 a 0.87 erra first pitch now Lordis Guriel Jr and he takes off the plate outside for ball one dbacks five White Sox nothing a 10 buriel takes a strike even the count now at one and one belle rounded out his last time up now the pitch up and in nearly hit him in the front shoulder two balls one strike backs are a little sick and tired with the injuries as Suarez was lifted from the game after being hit by a pitch on the hand in almost the identical location that Corbin Carroll was hit back in Toronto and Carol still got in the lineup for the Dbacks as this one is swung on and fouled two balls two strikes the count the two- two pitch is on the way swung on grounded towards third but fouled still two balls and two strikes white Socks come into this series having taken two of three against the Blue Jays that’s the team Toronto played immediately after Toronto took two of three from the Diamondbacks as now this two- two pitch swung on and fouled right side but prior to that the White Socks they had lost eight in a row a really tough stretch well this team has improved vastly from last year from just a talent standpoint now the pitch swung on hard hit ground ball diving is the short stop medrith his throw to first is just a bit late a terrific effort nonetheless and Guriel going to be awarded with his hustle with an infield base hit couldn’t get enough on it and he threw it a little too much in the ground too soon and it took a couple hops to get there instead of the one long hop and that really slowed it down so man aboard now for Randall Gritic one out in this third inning white Sox come into this one with 25 wins they didn’t get their 25th win last year until July 3rd as that is a fault strike the count is zone one that might not seem like much right now but that is about a nineame difference now the 01 pitch swung on popped up and drifting back it does look to be playable for the first baseman Vargas and coming down he will make the catch by the coach’s box on the first base side and now two down after that foul pop out for center fielder Alec Thomas trying to put up a zero that’s white what the White Sox need after falling behind 5 nothing after two thomas struck out his first time up swings at the first pitch grounds it to first 12 by Vargas he takes it to the bag the inning comes to an end dbecks get a one out single and strand one and we go to the bottom of the third it is the Dbacks five and the White Socks take a hack at guessing which baseball player or managers said the following i really don’t know what to say i’m just uh so happy I gave something these people cheer we all did i mean it was a great game both teams played incredible it was a great game that’s Mike Piaza after he

taylor leads off for the White Socks in the third inning rodriguez first pitch and the right-hander takes a strike rodriguez has already struck out five White Socks two in the first and then three in the second he’s only allowed one base hit that was a double to Edgar Carol as now Taylor unforks a swing and that one fouled away right side and out of play i got some bad news for you looks like the White Socks are going to be hosting a Flow Rita concert this Friday that you’re just going to miss as the O2 is high although I suppose you could change your travel plan and stick around after the game on Wednesday should you so choose postgame concert yeah could hang out in the play pen on Thursday see flow ride up what a weekend here’s the one-two now and Taylor swing and a miss another strike out here for Rodriguez that’s four in a row and five of the last six White Socks just an unbelievable job sticking with the game plan he hasn’t had to throw a breaking ball or an off speed pitch yet been all fast balls the sinking the forseam and the cutter hasn’t had to throw anything else and now here is Vinnie Kapper the nine hitter 147 average just 5 for 34 this year and first pitch he takes a strike i mean everything he throws right now has basically been in the strike zone for Rodriguez 32 pitches pardon me 33 pitches now and 24 strikes the 01 swung on and popped up to third it’s going to be routine for Vargas who makes the two-handed catch and now two outs here is back to the top of the order in Chase Madrid white Sox are doing an unbelievable job at taking and swinging through pitches down the middle and then trying to hit the ones off the plate first pitch Madri takes outside dex fans score big game day meals at prize with savings beyond low prices including digital coupons worth over $600 each week price fresh for everyone now the 10 swing by Maj that one fouled away not even at one ball and one strike one-1 is outside two balls one strike adri struck out looking on three pitches his first time up as a 2-1 is just low and that’s going to make it three balls one strike took strike one strike two and then took strike three and headed right back to the dugout as this 3-1 pitch swung on and a ground balls it into center field finally able to sync up he’s throwing fast balls that are hitable they’re just not able to put it in play coming into this game Rodriguez had terrific numbers in his career against the White Sox 4-0 in four starts a 2.22 ERA and a strikeout per nine of almost 10 and a half and he is certainly well beyond that pace as Austin Slater now digs in first pitch and a tardy swing and miss slater grounded out his first time up i mean that fast ball was right down the middle would have been good in an arena football strike zone that’s a thinker here’s the 01 slater flinches but takes one and one the count backs have a five nothing lead here in the bottom of the third and now the 1-1 is deflected foul check swing that time that fast ball in the corner and it’s now a ball in two strikes that’s where he gets so many swings and indecisive swings he likes to pitch along the top border of the strike zone both in and out here’s the one two slater fouls it off villet now ball in two strikes left hand comes set and now the one-two pitch from Rodriguez is on the way almost locked him up he missed inside with that fast ball slater out of Stanford spent eight years with the Giants had some big hits against the Diamondbacks particularly in the 21 and 22 seasons last year split his time with the Reds and Orioles here’s the pitch swung on fouled away down the right field line rodriguez continuing to throw strikes here as his two two pitch slater swings tries to hit it towards the right field corner but that is also going to bleed foul the count remains that couple of balls and a couple of strikes he tried to hold his hands back on the offspe pitch it was a little too late up to 46 pitches now as Rod and his 2-2 delivery is taken low will count he’s been so efficient the first three ball count here in the third inning after a long look Rodriguez’s 3-2 pitch is an absolute stinger foul ricochets off the front of the dugout for the White Socks rodriguez is not a guy you’d expect to be a big strikeout guy but his strikeout rate considerably above league average despite some of the other less flattering statistics as this is 3-2 he is chopped on the ground to third backhanded by Vargas and the throw is inaccurate but a nice stretch made by Naylor and that’s going to do for the White Socks as Naylor just kept his toe on the bag no runs a hit no error as a man left we’ve played three in take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following i really don’t know what to say i’m just uh so happy I gave something these people cheer we all did i mean it was a great game both teams played incredible it was a great game that’s Mike Piaza after he hit an eighth inning go-ahead

Arizona Sports app leading off for the Diamondbacks in the fourth inning catcher Jose Herrera he bags in front five to nothing and Dan Altilla’s first pitch high outside for ball one will be Herrera then the top of the order josie with a walk and a run scored in the second as this one swung on and grounded foul to our Dbacks advantage members you can earn 20 advantage points when you enter the bonus word of the series into the advantage member section of the MLB Ballpark app today’s bonus word is kamiski 1-1 swinging another foul and the count one and two alta has a great change up that he features against lefties in fact on this season he’s only struck out left-handed hitters this obviously going to be a bit of a unique situation with the fact that white socks starter Shane Smith only able to go two innings a career low for him and now the White Socks got to eat up seven as this is a swing and a fly ball into shallow center robert ghosting in makes the grab one down for Rodomo one thing he’s doing is getting ahead throwing strikes smith struggling with his delivery struggling with location had to labor through those two long innings where he threw over 30 pitches in both of them and as you mentioned on such a hot and humid day here in Chicago usually this time of year in this city just you’re accustomed to having beautiful weather even if it is a tad humid these upper 90 days i know Diamondbacks and Diamondback fans were sick of them and they’re going to see a lot more as the pitch to predom we saw some early tabulations of the first round of all-star voting as the 01 is in tight it’s one ball and one strike three Diamondback hopefuls right now catel looks like a lock to make it his third all-star appearance and back to back as a starter at second base for the National League as the 1-1 too high two balls one strike corbin Carroll right there in terms of where you need to be in vote getters and I get the totals here in a second but it’s going to be somewhere in the high hundreds of thousands this one swung on they have a change up tap foul it’s now two and two the third though and this is the one that bothers me tremendously iso Suarez is behind Max right now in All-Star votes by about 300,000 i understand there’s a couple things working against him due to two pitch check swing and Pomo knows he did not hold up it’s a U-turn back to the dugout alilla gets his first strike out but Suarez is basically outpacing Muny in every meaningful offensive statistical category there is no reason why Suarez should be behind Muny or to put it a better way based off of the first half performance as this pitch to Catel swung on and hit in the air to deep right field taylor moving back and he is out of room it’s a home run for Catel his 14th of the season and a reason why he should be the starting second baseman as he can do that seemingly at any point in any game he generates so much bat speed when he’s out in front that’s a power change up that he throws much like Smith that one at 91 and that’s the third straight time he’s put a ball in play on a change up he just does this with all his wrists and forearms that’s impressive and with that trip around the diamond stop by any Daniel’s Jewelers and say home run for your free team bracelet and $50 gift card toward any purchase of $99 or more daniel’s Jewelers own the dream and now Haven Smith takes a strike kind of interrupting my point there that was a good point which is that Catel is also very good at baseball home run usually signifies that now the 01 pavement swing sends another high drive out to deep right center field this one’s on its way and it’s gone his second of the ball game and the Dbacks go backto back here in the fourth as they now lead by a touchdown it’s 7 nothing another hard change up and that’s the problem when you throw a hard change up in the middle of the zone it basically acts as a batting practice fastball it takes a little mile an hour off the fast ball and these guys are right on it and that’s back to back off that pitch it’s a four RBI day for Pav Smith he’s now got eight homers on the year and now here is Josh Naylor naylor looking to be in all sorts of agony in his last at bat dealing with his front shoulder as they pitch swung on and miss he took a huge swing dropped to a knee and then dropped the bat well he’s not shortening up the swing because of that shoulder so that’s a good sign i mean it it just seems like if his intent is to swing it into dislocation that’s what he’s trying to do and I am sure that is making both trainer and manager feeling indescribably anxious as this one swung on and grounded to first naylor barely gets out of the box as the throw to first is in time the inning is over dex scored twice on the backtoback homers from Marte and Pav and we go to the bottom of the fourth inning it is the Dbacks 7 and the White Sox nothing on the Morgan and Morgan DBEX radio network here at the Almond Joy

Arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app well some more bad news continues here for the Dbacks as Rod first pitch is swung on and fouled away by Miguel Vargas the good news is that they lead seven nothing bad news is that Auano Suarez left this game earlier after getting hit by a pitch and now Josh Naylor has been removed from the game naylor seemed to have injured something in his first at bat as Vargas reaches for it grounds it to third and Ilamaro Vargas throws him out a good start for Eduardo Rodriguez who has just been lights out in the early going so far against these White Sox just get an efficient inning and he’s got seven in the books you would think and being up seven nothing he could just throw fast balls to these guys and force him to hit it but that’s what he’s been doing already some minor news that is positive as Edgar Carol who doubled his first time up takes a strike Suarez has already had X-rays on his hand his right hand and the X-rays were negative as the 01 on swung on fouled out of play it’s nothing and two on Edgar Caro has a right hand contusion as you might expect after taking 96 a fast ball that ran inside as for Naylor the O2 swung on ground ball to first and Tawa who just came into the game as a replacement gloves and steps on the bag in one fluid motion two quick round outs and that brings up center fielder Luis Robert Jr he labored in the last inning to 21 pitches another short one 10 or less and he’s right back on track and once again that ball finds the new defensive replacement well you might not have access to a major league

strikeout victim his first time up one of six strikeouts for Rod first pitch he stings a line drive just foul of the count no balls in a strike got away with that slider that’s an interesting pitch it usually uses the cutter into right-handers and part of me the count is one ball at one strike after that foul he back seven White Socks nothing rodriguez sitting at 56 pitches here’s the 1-1 and two high two balls one strike there’s the wine of the 2-1 inside three and one tomorrow has the chance to be a really big day for the Dbacks feeling like a huge boost or tomorrow has the chance of feeling like Black Monday although it’ll be Tuesday here’s the 3-1 and that is low ball four rodriguez didn’t want to give in with a fast ball they couldn’t locate the slider and that’ll be the first walk and with two outs that brings up Lenin Sosa because tomorrow you could have a lineup that has Carol Suarez and Naylor all in it or all three could be out ebags are still awaiting some final looks dr donald Sherid in the hand specialist that Ebbecks have used for many years as this first pitch is swung on and popped up towards first tawa in foul territory now drifting back towards the bag he makes the catch and that is going to do it for the White Socks here in the bottom of the fourth no runs no hits no errors a walk and a man left and we mosy our way in if you can figure out the following

2:30 on Arizona Sports987 in the Arizona Sports app well new pitcher on now for the White Socks as we get ready to start the fifth inning and first pitch is in off the plate for ball one it is Wilamin Gonzalez gonzalez who made his major league debut against the Blue Jays in this past trip for the White Socks now missed low and in with a fast ball two balls no strikes to the bullpen brought to you by Sanderson Ford best play a new Ford is at Sanderson Ford 23-year-old out of Venezuela as this one is lined down the right field line by Ilaro Vargas and it’s going to go all the way into the corner good start for the Dbacks they’ve got a leadoff double and we quickly pause 10 seconds for station ID on the Morgan to Morgan Dbacks radio network kmdp FM arizona Sports the local sports leader on the Arizona Sports app and on 987 Vargas in for the injured Suarez again X-rays were negative on no word yet on Naylor the extent of his injury though it seemed to be the shoulder and now Naylor takes a breaking ball for a called strike wicklman Gonzalez dropped in the curve so the count is 0 and one lordis one for two had a base hit his last time up dexs right now in front seven to nothing against these White Socks last two seasons the Dbacks and White Socks because it’s inner league only face each other for one series as this one is swung on and fouled two years ago the Dbacks they won two of three and if you remember after they won the first two in the final three regular season road games all the Dbecks had to do was win one of their final four to clinch a wildcard birth instead they lost the finale to the White Socks they flew back home to take on the Astros and they lost all three against Houston however it was on that Saturday the penultimate game of the 23 season as this O2 way outside nice stop by Teier the ball and two strikes the count both Houston and the Diamondbacks clinched a postseason birth due to Houston beating Arizona and the Diamondbacks waiting on Cincinnati to beat St louis now the pitch is low and outside two balls and two strikes actually might have been backwards i think the Cardinals had to beat the Reds and then the final day after both teams a night of partying in either Phoenix or Scottsdale astros clinch the division by winning that finale now a swing and a ball hit in the air left center field and coasting in Austin Slater to make the catch and Guriel slaps his hands together just missed it as there’s one down he was committed to getting Guriel out on the curve ball he threw him four straight want to bring up Randall Grick gritic 0 for two here’s the pitch oh swinging a miss devastating curve ball no balls one strike right-handed pitcher right-handed hitter huge gap in right center as this 01 here’s another breaking ball this time a called strike the count is 0 and two now the pitch swung on grounded towards third that’s a fair ball and they are going to run at Vargas as Vinnie Capra and tag him out that’s good defense there by Capra i’m not really sure what Vargas was doing one of the first rules you learn when learning the game of baseball that when you’re at second and less than two outs the ball’s hit in front of you you got to stop and Vargas just paid no mind just tried to go to third if you get to third you have to watch him make the throw you can get off as much as you want and go on the throw he went on the ground ball rather and you’re right ran right into that out now Thomas first pitch and he takes outside so the Dbags lose a runner in scoring position they still have a seven to nothing lead here in the top of the fifth here’s the 10 thomas takes one down the middle it could be coincidence but each of the three guys that have pitched so far today feature a change up that they use a lot wonder if that’s a White Sox organizational thing where they’re teaching change one-1 and that one’s going to miss just a bit outside you had identified that a couple of times in the recent series against the Rockies where it felt like Warren Schaefer was using some of these opportunities at the big league level to teach and develop as a 2-1 swung on and missed and I count now at two and two white Sox in a very similar spot they know what it’s like they were there last year what the Rockies are going through and you’re right they’re letting a lot of these guys learn at the big league level and just see who sticks two outs the two- two pitch thomas takes outside the count now is full three and two the count rich will be off and running on the next pitch and the knee backs going to try and add to their lead 0 for two with a strikeout and a ground out awaits as Gonzalez is 3-2 low for ball four and another walk issued by the Diamondbacks it’s the third of the game and that brings up Jose Herrera now they’ve had multiple base runners in four out of the five innings and once again we mentioned he made his debut just in the last series against Toronto so another young arm for this White Socks club wicklman Gonzalez part of that Garrett Crochet trade as this one to Herrera in the dirt for ball one herrera is 0 for one with a walk and a run scored dexs with two runs in the first they got three runs in the second and then two more in the fourth and they’ve already slugged three homers in this game 10 and now Herrera takes a strike that one at 96 one and one the count smiling Gino Suarez back in the dugout with manager Tory Lavell no bandages on that hand that’s encouraging a 1-1 swung on and hit towards the left field line long run for Slater can’t reach it but it lands foul and now the count on Herrera and a ball and two strikes great news to see Gino in such good spirits i think Tori just with everything they’ve gone through still dealing with what’s going on with Carol in the hand Moreno in the hands out being extra cautious the one two breaking ball shot up the middle that’s into center field a base hit Riching rounding third thomas he’s going to get into third it’s an RBI base hit for Herrera and now an eight nothing Diamondback lead and Gonzalez didn’t use the change up like he should there opted for the breaking ball and just threw one right down the middle herrera stays on it up the middle that’s a great approach seventh RBI now for Herrera this year was getting a lot more opportunities with the injury to Gabby Moreno and now here is the

just below the knees it’s now two balls in a strike now this pitch grounded to first knocked down by Vargas and he will step on the bag the inning comes to an end dbag settle for the one but they score again and now as we go to the bottom of the fifth inning it is the Diamondbacks eight yeah the White Sock the big hits all the great brats you got to be kidding me and all the swagger relive the

Diamondbacks play here arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app it is the bottom of the fifth inning the offense is shining for the Diamondbacks rodriguez is throwing the ball supremely well against the White Socks through his first four it’s an eight nothing lead and it is Kyle Teal who leads off for the Socks first pitch the rookie swing sends it out towards the gap in left center and that’s going to one hop over the left field wall for a ground rule double rodriguez keeps pumping fast balls in there and this is by far the best swing they’ve put on any of them earn points for DBags rewards on game tickets exclusive merchandise and more by shopping participating products at Fry Food stores visit friesfood.com/dbags for details we talked earlier in the game about Auano Suarez how he just won National League player of the week as Michael A taylor swings at the first pitch and misses the count at nothing and won cal Raleigh was named American League player of the week for the second time this season this week alone first the 01 pitch from Rodriguez taylor takes upstairs had 12 RBI’s two doubles and five homers he had 10 hits in total seven for extra bases and he also drew three walks now you’d mentioned the damage he had done at Wrigley Field as the 1-1 swinging a miss like maybe a change up that time to make it one and two i know a couple days the wind was blowing out but he does not need any wind assistance for his home runs and he is on a truly historic pace when it comes to home runs by a primary catcher seems like he’ll he’s destined to eclipse that mark i mean he could get into the 60 range right now a one-two pitch swing and a miss and he strikes out Taylor on the high fast ball second time in a row Taylor swung and missed at every pitch Rodriguez has thrown he was just able to foul one off in that up at bat and keep in mind that Aaron Judge if I’m not mistaken finished his 2022 season with 62 home runs to set the American League record as the first one to Vinnie Capra swung on hit towards right center richik went back now sliding in makes the catch and hit off the heel of his glove they’re going to say no catch and Teal stuck at second understandably so he wasn’t on the transfer it looked like it hit the heel of his glove and then sort of popcorned out of there and the Dbacks unlikely to challenge as the White Socks have first second with only one out first base umpire Cory Blazer all over it and the throwing hand never goes in there so he catches it glove goes down and when it hits the ground it falls out of the webbing back to the top of the order and Chase Madrith had a base his last time up it would just to put a a bow on this discussion point if you’re getting to 60 home runs if you’re Raleigh as Major takes a strike and believe me you’re exactly right that is the pace that he is currently on you are right there in terms of setting the record in the American League there’s the 01 pitch swung on and a ground ball to second catel goes to second for one on to first it is a double play 463 you couldn’t fungo that any better to the second baseman as that will send us now in to the sixth inning where the Dbacks have themselves at 8 nothing take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following i really don’t know what to say i’m just uh so happy I gave something these people cheer

inning and right now the Dbacks starting to run away with this one they lead at 8 to nothing as Marte lead off gonzalez his pitch is swung on and missed catel is two for three homerred his last time up is continuing upon this brilliant stretch he’s been on now for about the last 10 games there’s the 01 oh way out front that time swings and misses the count nothing in two this is what it looked like in the beginning of the season last year when Patel just got out of the gates with a blazing start here’s the O2 swing and a miss and Mark Day down on strikes they at least learned a little bit didn’t give him the change up he’s got two hits off that already stuck with the slow curve and got the strike out and even with that strikeout Marte is still 12 for his last 20 with five doubles two homers and eight RBI’s that’s an OPS of almost 1770 and taking the first pitch is Paven Smith speaking of Pav has decided to turn in to Barry Bonds the last couple of bats two homers he had four RBI’s and he swings and misses the 10 pitch from Wikime Gonzalez well they’ve got the interesting factoids about each Diamondback as they come to the plate as the 1-1 is a breaking ball for a strike this is something that we have known and if you don’t Pav got his first name because his father was the agent of the golfer Cory Paven 1991 BGA Tour player of the year won the US Open father also it says on the board there represented Gary Player couple of tough choices as this pitch is in the dirt what would have happened to the career of Gary Smith nondescript name sounds like he could do your taxes well based on last name I think Paven Smith works better than players like who is this guy is he just a player two two is high three balls two strikes to count sounds like a generic video game name and then when you’re doing stuff that you put your last name first then it’s Smith player now you’re just confusing everybody here’s a 3-2 pitch and that is high for ball four pave is on base for the third time as he draws a one out walk fearing the power there he tried to get that breaking ball in there and couldn’t find it did you ever talk to your parents about names they considered before they settled on are you are you legally Joshua or is it Josh joshua uh Joshua Michael was a name my grandma had picked out my mom’s mom and she had all daughters so was never able to use it timawa takes a strike his first at bat so being her oldest daughter’s first grand and the first grandkid she just used that name but allegedly my dad had some interesting names picked out as a girl gertrude was in the mix some like very old school names here’s the 01 there’s a swing and miss no balls two strikes the count it’s funny enough that I’m sure that everyone has done this if I was a a boy would you name me this for daughters and vice versa sons because my parents said if I was a daughter they were going to name me Genevieve Brace triple G which was the villain in the Bond movie not Genevie but GG GG Gustav Graves now the count on top was one and two but the other name is s it’s outside Greg no pavement I suppose but no anyways here’s the one two swing and a miss and Tim is down on strikes second strike out this inning here for Gonzalez and now Tawa is 0 for one tower trying to open up and get to that inside fast ball and just swung right underneath it that was a welllo pitch eight nothing Dbacks we’re in the top of the sixth inning temperature finally starting to drop as Ilamaro Vargas takes off the plate away one ball and no strikes good news is it’s supposed to drop some tomorrow and then even more so for Wednesday which is the key one being a day game here’s the one and high outside two balls no strikes to count vargas who came into the game after Suarez was hit by a pitch in the first he is one for two had a double his last time up ripped a ball into the right field corner he backs out hitting the White Sox nine to four as there’s strike on Vargas and that’ll make it a two to one count vargas the double that way had a homer from the right side in the Rockies series and we saw that quick bat from both sides most of spring training two outs the two on pitch vargas swings and misses we’ve just gotten official word from Diamondback’s PR that Naylor exited today’s game with right shoulder discomfort and is considered daytoday so it’ll be very curious to see if he’s in the lineup tomorrow as this two- two pitch swung on and fouled back you don’t want to forecast or speculate on injuries but if it truly is daytoday given the way that Naylor has swung the bat or pardon me Paven has swung the bat you could put Paven at first base hopefully Suarez is good to go he goes back to third you could potentially DH Fargas as a switch two-2 now and that is inside for ball three three and two or ideally you just get Carol back carol goes back to right field and then you just have Gritic dhing to give Naylor a day or two off with the off day coming up this Thursday that’s what you said there’s so many questions with uh all these dayto-day guys and actually who’s going to be in the lineup tomorrow the 3-2 swung on that is hit towards the right field corner it is hooking fast and unfortunately foul well that one had the distance and Vargas really showcasing some power from a frame you would not expect that’s how you swing at a 3-2 fast ball you’re expecting to get that pitch and he was all over it another interesting tidbit too the uh White Sox haven’t named a starter for tomorrow so you don’t know right or left could be a bullpen game but they’re going to have to use a lot today swinging a grounder to first that one going to go foul but you’re right it’s basically a bullpen game today this is that situation where you almost wish you could send Shane Smith out tomorrow right basically it was like a glorified bullpen for him through 50 pitches in two innings and say “All right let’s just try again.” Of course they’re not going to do that haven off and running as the 3-2 breaking ball is hammered foul right side and again that’s going to be out of play 8 nothing our score our Dbacks in a very comfortable position and Smith no doubt wishing that as a starter when you get pulled early you just can’t wait for the next start to get there so you can correct what went wrong and if you got it the next day I think you’d be more than happy 3-2 again swing and a miss he strikes out Vargas the inning comes to an end and Wiklman Gonzalez strikes out the side the only thing around it was a one-out walk and we go into the bottom of this great moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921 smith corks one into right down the line it may go crazy folks go crazy it’s a home run and the Cardinals have won the game by the three-2 and a home run by the Wizards the next unforgettable call on the MLB app and MLB.com it’s a great night for baseball this matchup features some of the best talent in the game a lot

Arizona Sports app and Ordo Rodriguez out for another inning of work first pitch ground ball to third backhanded by Vargas throw to first under the glove of Tawa and that’s going to pinball right against the netting and I don’t think it went out of play and Slater didn’t make the turn so it’s just going to be infield base hit for Slater such a great play by Vargas to get to that ball he’s right on the line actually throws that from foul territory and just because of the long throw Slater able to beat it out by a step first pitch that ball stung outside the left field line foul and off the bat of Miguel Vargas mets right now at home trailing the Braves 3-2 there’s the 01 and Vargas takes down low i’ve really talked a lot about the wild card standings because you’re not even 50% through the season there’s a lot of variables that can change but now that we’re about a month away from the trade deadline a little bit more than that you really want to start paying attention to the wild card standings and you want to identify who’s buying and who’s selling as the 1-1 is too high right now the Diamondbacks are three and a half games behind the Brewers the third and final wildcard spot they’re in a very difficult position as the 2-1 is inside for ball three because they have a lot of expiring deals that would make wonderful trade assets to a lot of teams trying to buy but they are heavy on the injuries of the Dbacks and also the season ending injuries as this 3-1 is swung on and hit out to deep left field but that is going to make a left turn at the pole it’s a foul ball and the count now at three and two different situation than last year when they knew if they make a couple moves to shore up the bullpen they had two starters coming back right after the deadline but this year you’re right there there’s no Calvary coming there is no puck there is no Martinez there is no Corbin Burns as this 3-2 pitch vargas takes strike three on the corner and that’s going to be the eighth strike out here for Eduardo Rodriguez it helps to be around the plate he’s got the benefit of the doubt on several borderline pitches and that’s a difference maker right there one on and one out dbags lead the White Socks eight to nothing now the pitch is going to be in the dirt for ball one if you’re the Diamondbacks specifically Mike Hazen and again this is a really precarious spot to be in cuz you could make an argument either way 10 swung on grounded foul you’re basically getting an MVP caliber season from Catel when he’s healthy you’re getting slightly ever slightly less than that from Auane Suarez who’s basically hitting like he’s going to be on a 40 to 50 homer pace you’re getting an all all type of year from Naylor and of course Carol’s doing Carol things swung on and a fly ball to right but out of play foul if you were looking to buy your rationale would be that we can get potentially another starter at least a piece in the bullpen and we know how to course correct the seasons for fought and gallon and getting them back to above league average production one two in the dirt wonderful block by Herrera keeps the ball in front of him it’s now two and two offense isn’t the problem i was looking at the offense compared this year to last year it’s about the same they’re in the top five in all the big categories of course they ended up leading in runs pitching very similar to how it was last year near the bottom so certainly the pitching side is where they would need help here’s the 2-2 in the dirt again and the count once again runs full on Edgar Carol because the reality is if if those things were to happen we talked about the improvements fought and Gallon that would be like getting two new starters more or less you acquire a third starter you complement that with Mel Kelly you get a bullpen piece to take the load off of Shelby Miller as that’s going to be strike three called another elevated pitch and now Will Venal has had enough and he comes out of the dugout and now we have an ejection edgar Carol barking on his way out of there with Ron Copa the crew chief and Venable at the moment calmly talking things over there is no gray area when it comes to arguing balls and strikes and now they’ll have to find a new DH and looks like something is still coming from the dugout venable giving him the stop sign i don’t know what Ron Cop was doing now other than fishing for some trouble sure there’s no shortage of chirping didn’t look like Bendable was doing much but players and coaches a nine strikeout performance for Rod as this one to Robert is swung on and fouled back no balls one strike robert 0 for one with a walk and a strike out the most amazing thing five of those were looking two in this inning the leadoff hitter had two back in the second as well here’s the 01 robert taking in the dirt one ball one strike to count eight nothing snakes we’re in the bottom of the sixth and this pitch to Robert is in the dirt rodriguez and 84 pitches you get an out here you’re almost punching your ticket to the seventh inning and if he’s able to give you seven strong innings allowing the bullpen to just get two innings of easy work maybe get in a couple of the lower leverage arms you’re really in a great spot for tomorrow and Wednesday now Roberts swinging a miss pulled the trigger on a change up and the count even at two balls and two strikes scott threw two yesterday so you would think it settles on Dclafani today two two pitch tied outside missed with a fast ball did Rodriguez and a count of three balls and two strikes rodriguez the lefty is 3-2 is too high that is ball four and that’s going to be the second walk issued for Robert in his many plate appearances that pitch just above the zone i thought for sure was going up with the right arm to get the hattick in this inning and now looks like the Dbacks are going to make a call down to the bullpen and get somebody up they’ve able to make him work the second and third it took over 40 pitches then he bounced back with 11 and that double play lasting for eight and he was on a great trajectory like you mentioned hope to get him out into the seventh but a longer at bat the last two two on and two out an infield single to Slater and now the walk to Robert robert with good wheels gap shot would likely bring home two as Lenin Sosa is 0 for two in this one and this pitch from Rodriguez right there for a strike in the top of the zone no balls in a strike rodriguez and out away six shut out here on the road was this a one pitch swung on and fouled back the count nothing and two rodriguez set and now he’s ready his O2 pitch sosa takes upstairs wasted a fast ball as now Rod is sitting at 90 pitches and all of a sudden this is turning in likely to his last inning of work one ball and two strikes there’s the pitch went high with a fast ball once again the count even at two and two since he’s come back from injury that’s where he’s lived he likes throwing force him up there he’ll throw the high cutter especially up and into right-handers two two pitch strike three called got him looking and how about that eduardo Rodriguez strikes out the side here in the sixth inning he has turned in six shut out in Chicago and we make our way into the seventh dbags eight and the White Socks nothing on the Morgan and Morgan Dbacks Radio Network watch all

brought you by Sanderson Ford best play to New Ford is at Sanderson Ford and it is former Diamondback left-hander Tyler Gilbert who is now 31 years old on to make his 17th relief appearance of the season gilbert whose unquestionable highlight with the Diamondbacks was throwing a no hitter against the San Diego Padres’s first pitch swung on and lifted in the air to center field off the bat of Guriel it is Robert who makes the catch one pitch one out and that’s how the seventh gets started here in Chicago similar pitcher that they’ve been facing this entire road trip going back to the lefties in Toronto and Colorado right around 90 with the velocity throws five other pitches with that fast ball so a little bit of everything got a little time with the Phillies last year only six appearances but Gilbert spent a majority of his time in the Miners as this one to Gritic inside for ball one but here he is Josh Barfield the assistant general manager with Chris Gats the GM of the White Socks as these two franchises have a good relationship swinging a bouncing ball towards third collected by Capra and a throw to first in time with two outs going to bring up Alec Thomas and he read kind of looking like he might be done towel over his shoulder talking to the pitching coach it is Dfani warming in the pen maybe this is the time he gets that three out save or three inning save

with the Dbags at dbags.com here’s Perdomo from the right side first pitch and Gilbert a rare miss so good at throwing strikes looks like Leo Gil Martin’s on television well now we just lost our engineer he’s gone famous the 10 is a strike it’s now one and one we’re doing our best to keep him in the shadows but you can’t hide a star that shines that bright hopefully Steve Zinsmeister ready to start setting up the board as the 1-1 from Tyler Gilbert and this one swung on a line foul the other fun game week plays Dbacks lead eight to nothing is figuring out now why would Leo be on there oh there it is pope Leo a white socks own it was what uh this week I want to say that someone gave him a White Socks hat and he put it on there hasn’t been a whole lot of joy for the White Socks since the pandemic this had to be one of the brightest spots as this one-two pitch is grounded to third that’s just foul outside the bag with that time difference from the Vatican it probably works out he doesn’t have to watch these games live so is this one of these situations where it’s right in the morning he’s getting the night games he wakes up checks the box score first thing oh and then off off to Mass here’s the one two that’s blowing away two balls and two strikes i mean the Pope is huge here in Chicago which is a sentence that five years ago would not have made a ton of sense there’s a 2-2 swings and fouls it ever since he was elected people are waiting all right when’s he going to make the pilgrimage now to Chicago it’s been a while since they’ve had a pope making a visit to the United States and the first American pope as well being one of the more historic things certainly as now the lefty Gilbert set and here comes the 22 swung on and fouled again grandfather told a great story he was a devout Catholic went to Sunday and and the one of the churches he went to priest by the name of Father Tom was a just a devoted fan of San Francisco sports as that is in the dirt and it’s now three balls and two strike and I don’t remember which Super Bowl it was right but he was doing a service for that Super Bowl Sunday niners were playing and he walks in he’s wearing a varsity jacket in the ners as this 3-2 is inside fall four and now Purdomo going to be aboard with a one out walk for Contel Mart he’s walking down the aisle right he’s got all the the necessary things he’s got the cross at the uh goodness what am I thinking alter boys was carrying and he takes off his jacket as if it were a holy cloak and hands it to the side before it is hung up ready to start the service now the first one to Catel swung on that’s a line drive into left field a base hit in front of Slatero to second to first and now two on with only one out for Smith and it’s not mattering what side of the plate you get Catel from he’s found that right-handed swing and the power swing as well in fact facing all those lefties on this road trip the Dbacks have raised their average against lefties over 15 points that was something they did so well last year he’s really punished left-handed pitching pave having the day of days for the Diamondbacks two for three with two homers and a walk and now the first pitch is strike his two homers are launches of the game inspired by Honeywell honeywell the future is what we make it eight to nothing Diamondbacks lead with one out here in the top of the eighth and now the 01 pav checked his swing nope ron Copel says he went around it’s nothing at two there’s the O2 pitch missed way outside to Gilbert ball in two strikes the count one two now swing and a miss and Pav strikes out two down and that will bring up Tim Tawa big swing from Pav i mean playing with house money the two homers already try to get a third and just misses on that sweeper tawa came into the game in the fourth inning after the ground out by Naylor seemed to have aggravated his shoulder he’s 0 for one with a strikeout and the first pitch to him here is swung on and missed chased a fast ball up out of the zone couple runners on for Tawa if he can get a hold of one would officially put this one out of reach the 01 is high had the chance to talk with Tawa before the game today mostly just quizzing him on football alignments he was a great high school quarterback i mentioned that because his factoid on the video board is about his high school statistics as that is swung on and missed he is arguably the best high school quarterback in the history of Oregon State not the college but the actual state of Oregon a one-two swung on that one hit out towards deep left field and Slater moving back and backpedaling onto the warning track makes the grab for the third out the inning is over and the Dbacks strand two as we now move into the bottom of the eighth inning it is still Diamondbacks moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921 smith courts went into right down the line it may go crazy folks go crazy it’s a home run and the

strikes the count as now the 10 is cut on and missed talking Stick Resort Playation is back stay in play with rates as low as $129 well all things considered this has a chance to be a positive day for the Dbacks as the 1-1 outside oh check swing they say he went around it’s now one and two it almost feels a little bit like umpires are kind of picking on the White Socks anyways Giovani ready here’s the rightanders one-two offering and Matri swings grounds it third base side through the real slow breaking ball there has a harder slider than that the knuckle curve i think he’s talking to the umpire are you sure I went around on that thing one two rounded to third in the glove of Vargas two shuffles later a good throw to first and Maj is out he’s Kevani doing exactly what the Dbacks want and the exact same thing Tyler Gilbert is it’s going to be those guys to finish this let’s pause 10 seconds for station ID and the Morgan and Morgan Dbacks radio network kmdp FM Arizona Sports the local sports leader on the Arizona Sports app and on 987 first pitch in a grounder foul down 0 and one tomorrow the Diamondbacks will send Zack Gallon to the mound or pardon me Ryan Nelson to the mound gallon has the finale as this one is a strike nelson 4 and2 record a 388 RA starting to build upon some of that foundation that he laid down last year he was so good in the rotation here’s the O2 slater swings and misses eddie is down on strikes chased way off the plate that’s exactly where you want to throw the two strike breaking ball and the White Socks just trying to get through the end of the ball game right now two down for Miguel Vargas vargas 0 for three with a couple of strikeouts and the first pitch from Clefani 96 good velocity missed outside for ball one here’s the one and Vargas takes outside for ball two two balls no strikes trying to do a job here for the Dbacks like you said get himself a save and really that allows Tory to be very aggressive the next couple of days this is two pitch there’s the strike two and one the count especially with that off day on Thursday before three against the Marlins and then three against the Giants in the next home stand two-1 swing and a miss it’s now two and two then the Dbacks will be on their final road trip for the All-Star game three against the Padres’s and then three against the Angels so then the travel gets a lot easier for the Dbacks pretty much the rest of the way they have a great September 2-2 swing and a miss and Vargas strikes out disclan strikes out two in a 1238 and we go into the ninth inning it is the Diamondbacks eight and the White Socks nothing in the Morgan and Morgan Debbeck’s radio network see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term today’s phrase is oppo taco you know

focus Wednesday mornings at 11:45 on Arizona Sports 987 and the Arizona Sports app ninth inning new pitcher for the White Sox it is a position player going to the bullpen brought to you by Sanderson Ford best player in New Ford as it’s Anderson Ford vinnie Capra is now on to pitch first pitch strike Delaro Vargas vargas batting right-handed against the right-handed thrower and this one is lined in between short and third for a base hit tomahawked it that was a pitch a foot above the zone and as most position players he’s just floating it in there at 50 miles an hour additional defensive changes moving from first base to third base is Miguel Vargas as this one to Guriel swung on lined to center and moving back on it is Robert to make the catch just like that there is one man down looks like Ryan Nota has taken over at first base first pitch swinging gritic grounds it to third it’s off the glove of Vargas it pops high in the air before settling into the left field grass that’s tough break there as a pitcher Coley when your defense just can’t make a play behind you and I’m sure Capra is just feeling a bit snake bitten on that play too bad Keer couldn’t field and play third base like he did for the first eight innings of this game sure he thought he’d get that one and now runners at first and second first pitch Thomas swings and he pops it up this is unbelievable swing at the first pitch as that’s going to be into center field and that’s caught for the out and just like that there are two down i’m curious if Tori coaches him to that just go up swing at the first pitch whatever happens happens we’ll keep it moving e5 on that ground ball and now first and second here is Herrera and the first pitch and he takes a strike called the count is nothing and one these pitches coming in somewhere between 45 and 55 miles an hour as now Herrera swings and hits a base hit into right center field rounding third and coming home is Vargas credit Herrera with his second hit and another RBI it’s now nine nothing Dbacks Pommo I’m sure same thing will be swinging at the first pitch and I mean it is an opportunity to pad your stats a little bit if you could get a hit or an RBI the first one swung on and that one ripped towards the right field corner that is a fair ball and it one hops over the right field wall for a ground rule double unfortunate for Purdomo he probably could have picked up the extra RBI but instead it bounces over so Herrera is going to be stuck at third say what you want it’s efficient pitching here by Vinnie Capra the guy has thrown eight pitches and he’s now facing the seventh hitter and now Catel first pitch and takes outside catel undoubtedly is going to try and hit one over the bullpen and left here’s the 10 and Catel takes in the dirt two balls no strikes nine nothing our excuse me 10 nothing our score as this 20 is swung on and missed and could tell a big smile on his face as he takes off his helmet and deservedly jeered by the White Sox fans now the 2-1 Patel takes a strike probably a foot out of the zone but I think Ron Copus so long as it doesn’t touch dirt is going to raise that right hand of his and now some pressure the 2-2 and that one definitely low it did hit the dirt by rule have to call it a ball it almost looked like Kapper tried to put a little spin on that he’s got two strikes i mean he’d be a legend in the clubhouse picking up a strike out 3-2 swing and a miss he strikes out Catel and the inning comes to an end the Dbacks strand two but they score two and now the last chance for the White Socks 10 to tie 11 to walk it off let’s see if we can figure out the following baseball slang term today’s phrase is oppo taco do you know what it means oppo taco a home run hit to the opposite field it’s a one-run game expand your vocabulary by listening to every game on the MLB app and MLB.com take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following i really don’t know what to

the largest selection of authentic jerseys caps hoodies t-shirts and more visit mobshop.com for your Dback gear and today’s special offer the Scofani still on the mount he faces Ryan not and not getting his first at bat in for the ejected Edgar Carol now he swings and misses that is going to make it one ball and one strike it’s going to interesting as the Dbacks have a 10- nothing lead here the 1-1 is too high once Carol got ejected I imagine that Will Venal had to let home plate umpire know immediately who his DH was going to be at that moment you can’t just have a vacant spot in your lineup even though as a 2-1 swung on and missed if you had an injury or if you were just going to make a change like we saw Brian Snicker a couple years ago pull Marcel Ozuna out of a game after he didn’t run out of a out of the box on a ball that hit the overhang he pulled him out but we didn’t know it till he came up the next time the two-2 now that’s outside ball three three balls two strikes to count well don’t need any walks here up by 10 in the ninth inning as 3-2 pitch is indeed inside for ball four with Dclani still pitching he wants to get a strike out but you’re right 10 nothing in that count you kind of have to throw a pitch that’s in the zone whether they swing at it or not he went with the slider and I mean still a disciplined at bat to lay off first pitch swinging a one hopper to short off the bat Robert flipped to Catel for one on to first not in time and though it has been a hard season for Luis Robert Jr the one thing you cannot question is his effort he was busting down the line down 10 in the ninth inning that’s a good sign you’re hoping that he’s around for a while cuz there’s so much talent in there and tremendous speed too with those 22 stolen bases he’s able to rack up he will likely get second base on defensive indifference here on the next pitch as Lenin Sosa will take down low for ball one robert not going anywhere you see sosa 0 for three with two looking strikeouts and now the one pitch sosa swings guides it foul one ball one strike count robert could take it now the first couple pitches he was putting on his sliding gloves one of the rare guys he uses both so right now if you throw him a ball he wouldn’t be able to catch it all his fingers are in the oven mitts one one and that is too high two balls one strike look seriously I don’t know how much a company like William Sonoma brings in on a year-to-year basis but I find it hilarious and a missed opportunity that they haven’t opened up a rare baseball glove line as there’s swing and miss two balls and two strikes just like when Nike introduced their line of golf equipment drivers balls gloves things like that obviously they kind of scaled back on that but could you imagine some players being sponsored by William Sonoma 22 swung on and fouled away i imagine somewhere out there because they have something for every collector there probably is a company that makes actual oven mitts for your home that have baseball stitching on them or various designs two balls two strikes two two pitch swing and a miss and Sosa down on strikes white Socks down to their final out and well done by Dclani these aren’t the easiest innings to pitch because they might not have the same adrenaline as a close game but give him credit he’s come in he’s been efficient and he’s going to be able to close this one out this time here’s the rookie Teal teal is one for three with a double and first pitch to him is low for ball one the White Socks have only had two hits since the fourth inning double by Teal in the infield hit by Slater they’re being outscored 10 to nothing they’re out hit 13 to five now a pitch from Bulani that is outside had two balls and no strikes and we’re still hoping that this win comes with just positive news we’re going to wait to see what happens with Carol obviously Naylor and Suarez had to leave the game two pitch upstairs for ball three three balls no strikes that count suarez seemed in great spirits x-ray is negative so I think as long as that strength’s there he’d probably be in the lineup again three-0 pitch and a strike called i’m a little surprised Robert hasn’t taken second on defensive indifference only because it’s a courtesy you could do for your teammate Teal in this situation to potentially get him an RBI with a base hit a base hit here would not score Robert most likely as a 3-1 is outside ball four wow that looked to be in the box or at least nudging it well he’s called almost everything around there rodriguez got a bunch and as the game’s gone his strike zone’s gotten bigger i’m really surprised that one wasn’t called here’s Michael A taylor taylor 0 for three two outs in the bottom of the ninth the Becks lead 10 nothing as they have cruised to a series opening win and this pitch is too high for ball one righty pitcher righty hitter the 10 swung on fouled away backs with a win here are going to be 13 and seven in the month of June one of the best records in baseball this month one ball one strike dfani set fires and it’s in the dirt two balls one strike to count sculfani tries again as his two-1 is swung on and hit off the end of the bat foul two balls two strikes the White Sox now down to their final strike and if Dfani wants to get the strike out here just expand the zone a little bit and Taylor will follow robert at second Teal at first and this to put the finishing touches on a 10- nothing shutout 2-2 and he missed too high well this is kind of what we saw in Toronto if he misses against Michael A taylor and obviously the score dictating a different situation but he did walk him loaded against the Jays the 3-2 pitch swinging a miss taylor chased one out of the zone he strikes out and the ball game is over dominant stuff here for the Dbacks as they just rock the White Socks 10- nothing pave Smith had two home runs catel Marte with a home run as well and now all the Dbacks can do is hope that the news on Carol Suarez and Naylor is all positive and maybe they’re in the lineup for game number two tomorrow night once again your final Dbacks 10 and the White Socks now I think Cole and I will wrap it up after this on the Morgan let’s see if you can figure out the following baseball slang term today’s phrase is oppo taco do you know what it means [Music] oppo taco a

Sports app well Coley one of the things you talked about that the Diamondbacks needed to do was pretty much just exert their will against the White Socks on paper it’s a better team on the field we basically saw that Rodriguez dominated the offense gave him an early lead and Shane Smith was having a great season for the White Sox still could have himself a spot in the All-Star game he ran against the top five offense in Major League Baseball and they showed him what a top five offense looks like they zoned him up and that’s something he struggled to find and they forced him to throw pitches in the zone and he didn’t have it he was missing all over the place they made him labor he threw over 30 pitches in both of the two innings that he was out there it’s a hot day and he was really grinding to try to find something and the Dbacks didn’t let up on him for a second you looked specifically at the offense and it was hold your breath stuff with the hit by pitch to Gino Suarez the aggravated shoulder on one of those swings by Josh Naylor but you were looking for guys to pick up the slack whether it was towards the bottom of the order or guys that maybe have not been on a bit of a run as they would like it was the latter today with Pav Smith his two no doubt home runs really fueled the offense in this blowout victory he had been missing the power bat for the better part of a month and a half and hadn’t homered um since April until this road trip and he’s found it here so that’s a great sign and they moved him up to the three spot against the righty and he rewarded him he was on base three times four RBI two long balls and I mean his three-run homer was really the one that kind of got Smith out of this game and again minus the potential injuries you could not script a better type of win for the Diamondbacks the offense looked great you look at the pitching side of things Tori used two different pitchers in totality you had starter Eduardo Rodriguez goes six shutout innings you had Anthony Dclifani follow the final three he picked up the save in this one but all in all Rodriguez taking a step forward guys getting a day of rest after a taxing three games against the Colorado Rockies they’re really in a great spot for the remainder of these two and really going into the off day for a critical home stand we’ll worry about that later but now in prime position to hopefully get a sweep we looked at this pocket rockies White Socks Marlins lined up and you got to overwhelmingly win a majority of those games they got two they got one already here and this is a team that they just need to impose their will on every single timeout we’re not sure who’s starting tomorrow so we’ll find out but they just need to keep these at bats i mean Catel swinging a hot bat again and it’s the top of the lineup that’s really carrying them right now and they did the same today no replays in this one but as always our replay reviews brought to you by Planet Fitness get fit for less at $15 a month if you’re Ryan Nelson the biggest takeaway you saw from this one was what they swing early they’re overaggressive and they’ll swing out of the zone i mean we saw them taking fast balls swinging through fast balls and if you thought they could swing and miss at 91 92 from Rodriguez just wait till they see the 95 and 96 from Nelson here the totals from this one for the Diamondbacks 10 runs 13 hits no errors the Dbacks left 10 men on base and the White Socks no runs five hits one error and Chicago left eight men on base the winning pitcher is Eduardo Rodriguez his record is three and four the loss goes to Shane Smith his record is three and five and the save goes to Anthony Dcliffani it is his first of the season time of the game 2 hours 39 minutes and it was played in front of an audience of 12,579 at Wraith Field that is going to do it for our coverage of the Diamondbacks and the White Socks tonight for Josh Coleman for

for everyone the Diamondbacks Radio Network is brought to you by Morgan and Morgan recapping today’s Bbacks game this is Diamond Talk the 3-2 pitch swinging in a miss taylor chased one out of the zone he strikes out and the ball game is over dominant stuff here for the Dags as they just rock the White Socks 10 nothing pave Smith had two home runs catel Marte with a home run as well you know if all you saw was the final score you’d think everything went right for the Diamondbacks tonight but if you watched the game you’d know that that’s not the full story a complete team victory yes but at what cost a question that we’ve been asking ourselves a lot lately welcome to Diamond Talk everyone i’m Steve Zensmeister with you tonight two sides of the same coin on the one hand this team gets a dominant win as Chris just said creates momentum at the front end of a three-game series in which you hope to stack some wins against an inferior team on the other hand they lost two more players to injuries both starting corner infielders gino Suarez left the game in the first inning after getting hit on the hand by a 96 mph fast looked like it caught him maybe on the lower part of the right hand he did stay in the game to run the bases but did not return to the field although he could be seen smiling in the dugout a bit later on in the game so hopefully that’s a good sign of news to come but then it was Josh Naylor who left this game in the fourth inning with shoulder discomfort it looked like maybe he heard it during a swing when he struck out in the second inning he let go of the bat and it went flying and for a split second it looked like he grabbed his shoulder and then winced in the fourth inning when he grounded out to first base so he is considered dayto-day at this point all of this while the Dbacks are still waiting on news regarding other lineup main stays like they’re still waiting on MRI results for Corbin Carroll’s hand could get that news very very soon by the way as they just got it done here today gabby Moreno is on the IIL for several weeks with a hairline fracture in his hand so this team is just bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase being short-handed we’ll see what sort of injury updates we get in the coming days lost in all of this is the incredible baseball game that the Diamondbacks played tonight the offense put a pounding on Shane Smith Chicago’s best starting pitcher this year had his worst outing of the season which by proxy is the worst start of his career he only made it through two innings allowing five earned runs they ran him out of the game very quickly pave Smith deserves his flowers he hit two home runs tonight including a three-run bomb that really created some separation between these two teams his second home run was backto-back with Catel Marte who continues to rake this past week or so three more hits for him here tonight but it was Eduardo Rodriguez who deserves the player of the game honor six scoreless innings just five hits 10 strikeouts he had Chicago’s hitters looking absolutely fooled out there they did have base runners in almost every inning except for I think the first inning was the only one they didn’t but never seemed to do enough to bring one home this was easily best start of the season and honestly best start of his time as an Arizona Diamondback we’ll look at the numbers on that a little bit more closely here in just a few minutes but what an incredible performance from Eduardo Rodriguez it’s unfortunate that it’s going to get buried a little bit behind some of the headlines involving the injuries but what a great sign from E-Rod who you know has been great since returning from the IIL today even better and thanks to the efforts of Anthony Dclifani tossing three innings in relief three shutout innings of his own the Diamondbacks bullpen remains fully stocked and ready to go for tomorrow’s game an awesome situation for the Diamondbacks to be in and their manager has a lot of options available to them moving forward in the next two days with an off day looming on Thursday so great situation there thanks to Dcliffani he gets the save the hard way three full innings of work but hey he was great in this one as well and the Dbacks cruise to a 10 to nothing win their sixth shutout of the season and the biggest margin of victory in a shutout

the win in game one of this series but how did it all go down well let’s run through some of the highlights from tonight’s series opener in Chicago starting with the Dbacks jumping out to an early lead in the very first inning with the first two batters already on base cleanup hitter Josh Naylor got the Snakes on the board full count second and third one man down and the pitch from Smith swung on that’s a rip into right field down the line fair ball peromo scores here comes Catel he’ll score as well and in standing at second is Josh Naylor with a two-run double the very next hitter was Au Heno Suarez fresh off being named National League Player of the Week no balls in a strike the pitch from Smith and that hits Suarez on the hand and he is going to be awarded first base he’s holding his hand he’s headed straight towards the dugout and now out comes Tory Lavell and now out comes a trainer and just when the Diamondbacks suffered an injury like this to Corbin Carroll an aspiring all-star and looking like it might have just happened again here to Aueno Suarez suarez stayed in to run the bases but left the game between innings it’s officially a right-hand contusion and X-rays were negative arizona would have to go on without their starting third baseman just more terrible injury news for this team in the next inning the Dbacks got back-to-back walks from José Herrera and Heraldo Peromo which set the table beautifully for their designated hitter Pave Smith as the 10 there’s a swing and a drive deep to right field on its way gone pave Smith a no doubter to right his seventh and he cleans the slate it’s five nothing Diamondbacks yeah but the Dbacks weren’t done there in the top of the fourth catel Marte hit his 14th home run of the season a solo blast to make it six to nothing and that’s when Pave Smith stepped into the batters box for the third time today now the 01 Pave swing sends another high drive out to deep right center field this one’s on its way and
