0:00
He's He is He's taking everything in.
0:07
Did hit a home run in his last at bat
0:09
against the Yankees. It goes down on
0:11
strikes here. From picks up his second,
0:14
but that is good for Dana Brown. And
0:17
we'll see what the Astros have. That's a
0:19
nice pitch by Fro. He tied up Stling
0:23
in a defensive replacement possibly too.
0:27
Oh yeah. Bramer ends with a called third
0:34
he got Ramos on a swinging strike to
0:37
start this game on a three. Screaming
0:39
from the dugout. Abaho. Abaho. Which
0:42
meant get on top of the ball.
0:46
Those days are long gone.
0:52
but he gets Flores backto back
0:54
strikeouts to end the inning. getting
0:56
Adam Thomas and Wilmer Flor double
0:58
checking to make sure he's in the right
1:00
you bring up a good point because some I
1:01
mean they all pass out that laminated
1:03
card so they know where to play each guy
1:09
runner on the go doesn't matter called
1:12
third strike with a half dozen
1:19
swing and a missber up to seven
1:21
strikeouts that's now five the last
1:28
Rober. Two more strikeouts this inning.
1:30
Eight in the game. One, two, three.
1:32
Improbable starters. You're like, "Oh, I
1:34
like I like how things are looking there
1:38
Could break consistent contact against
1:39
him and it's paid off.
1:48
swinging a miss. And there it is again.
1:56
Tied him up. That really
2:00
3-2 his way. Puts him away. I'm sensing
2:04
a trend here against the right. You know
2:06
the two out. So what? But a two out base
2:08
hit with a runner in scoring position.
2:12
Here comes pitch number eight to Julio
2:15
and it puts him away.
2:23
slows down that slide,
2:28
but it's not to be a swing and a miss.
2:29
Valdez with a big pitch. I knew he could
2:33
Hitters, no hitters, don't they? As
2:35
Victor didn't get that. He was tied up.
2:38
And that's the second out of the inning.
2:40
That start allowed eight hits, struck
2:42
out eight. And he picks up his second
2:45
strikeout. Back-to-back strikeouts with
2:51
Way out in front. Good start there. A
3:03
Second punch out of the inning.
3:09
And he tried to hold off on a two- two
3:10
pitch. Goes too far, says the homeland
3:12
umpire, John Bacon. That'll be the first
3:14
18 years old. But Valdez didn't sign
3:21
What a story. Tell me the curveball.
3:29
So I told you after the he'll make a
3:38
He's nearing the return closer than the
3:40
the the other players. So that'll be a
3:42
nice, you know, boost in this lineup. A
3:45
under Azie Gillian. Can you just talk
3:47
and talk about what it was like having
3:49
Azie and what he meant?
3:54
Got him. Strike out. That curveball has
3:57
always been one of the best around.
4:00
Another change up and he gets have to be
4:02
a contact team and Maidroth is one of
4:12
And he strikes out Churio with a slider.
4:14
I had to go to the planetarium and stuff
4:18
Swinging a miss by Hos nearing the 60
4:24
and he committed too much on the curve
4:25
ball and Valdez picks up his fourth San
4:28
Francisco 23 and 14 their record.
4:32
Durban strikes out on the curve ball
4:38
swing and a miss by Capra.
4:42
02 from Valdez and he struck him out.
4:46
Seventh strike out. Let's go downstairs.
4:48
Well, Julie was going to get an update
4:50
on the chain. We'll have to get that
4:51
report later on because
4:53
How about that? Sixth pitch. All four
4:55
times Braber has struck him out has been
4:57
on that low curve. There you go. All
4:59
five times he has struck him out has
5:00
been on that low curve. Ball.
5:06
Got him. Robert Valdez. A three pitch
5:13
Got him. Braber continued the pandemic.
5:27
Swing and a miss. Braber with seven
5:29
Should be pretty well rested and he's a
5:31
guy that can go six plus innings and 100
5:35
A swing and a miss and a strike out of
5:39
so far. He's looked pretty sharp. the
5:41
two- two on the way and he strikes out
5:43
Young Valdez a scoreless bats.
5:48
I think there's a lot to that. Garcia
5:51
takes strike three called
5:56
Looked like Boch had his.
5:58
Two two. There's a swing and a miss.
6:00
That is four straight strikeouts for
6:06
Valdez. Gets him to swing over the top.
6:12
and that's right on the inside corner.
6:13
He's had that pretty well painted today
6:16
as well. A one, two, three for the day.
6:18
Still a pretty low number.
6:21
And he strikes out Garcia
6:24
three straight times today. he can play,
6:27
but he's very good at defensively at all
6:31
of those positions. There's a swing and
6:32
a miss, and JP Crawford strikes out.
6:35
There's one away here out here in the
6:41
Strike three recall right at the bottom
6:43
of the zone. Now, Riley, two strikes for
6:49
Swing and a miss. Struck him out.
6:57
That's a good pitch and
7:00
fr would love to live down there. Three
7:03
balls and two strikes. Swinging a miss.
7:05
Keratini. He'll throw to first. Tigers.
7:11
Yandi goes down here. So
7:17
Miranda goes down on strikes. From p
7:21
after Ryan Gusto was lifted after three
7:23
and two/3 picks up fast balls. He did
7:26
get Jonathan Aronda on a sinker earlier.
7:29
There is a swift and Mauricios had the
7:35
Well, you don't need an assist when you
7:37
do that. Crumbber striking out his fifth
7:39
of the night. Getting
7:46
and he dots him up with that change up
7:53
Oh my goodness. A seven pitch inning for
7:57
anybody in the American League. He can
7:59
get it through the zone.
8:00
And he gets it through the zone, but he
8:04
From another low pitch. Wow,
8:10
that's a swing. And that is number nine
8:12
on the night for Prober getting Jans
8:21
got a good but that breaking ball is
8:28
There's that curve ball.
8:29
That's a good word for it.
8:34
and he'll get him again on the curve
8:41
Well, he's faced four batters and he is
8:44
2-2 on McCutchen and there it is. Hey
8:46
Mike, this is a much better got hurt.
8:49
What would it have been like?
8:54
Five strikeouts for 2-2.
9:09
There's that curve ball. Bennett
9:25
Hey, foul. Tipped it. Strike out.
9:35
how about starting out with a three
9:38
pitch strike. The runner here. He left
9:40
on the previous pitch. He stays. It's a
9:43
good thing because there's a swing and a
9:45
The reaction of the pitch makes it real
9:47
tough. Oh yeah, throws him on the
9:51
curveball. Three pitch strikeouts to
9:53
start very well here at home. Seven
9:55
innings of three hit shutout baseball.
9:59
That's going to be a swing on a ball
10:01
that even in that start, his last three
10:03
innings were scoreless. So he has gone
10:06
16 and two/3 innings now as he gets
10:13
Got him. Braber strikes out later twice
10:17
tonight. He went from Valdez
10:21
to Lance McCullers without a home run.
10:24
batting practice speed sinker.
10:27
Got him. 96 on the later and ProM. First
10:31
one won by Pro with a strike out. And he
10:34
wins one again. This time with a high.
10:39
Got him. A dozen strikeouts for
10:46
Got him. Robert picks up.
10:58
And a strike out for Gio.
11:05
Strike three called at the knee.
11:07
Schwarber is ready to head to
11:10
and he gets Rojos on three pitches. that
11:13
This is uh if you guys remember the
11:15
orbit bobblehead, we gave away 10,000
11:17
Orbit bobbles. We had one gold bobble in
11:22
So now it's 0 and2 to half. Tried to
11:25
check his swing. And that is a swing,
11:28
says Alfonso Marquez, the crew chief.
11:30
That'll be a more strikeouts on his
11:32
curveball than anybody else in baseball.
11:34
And there's another one.
11:40
And backto back strikeout.
11:46
Got him. That is strikeout number four
11:49
for Valdez. At the halfway point of the
11:51
season and they've allowed the fewest
11:53
runs and they have a losing record. Down
11:55
goes Suzuki. Got beat with a change up
11:58
for the and now swinging a miss. Bramber
12:02
10th all time in franchise history in
12:05
strikeouts. Has a half dozen today.
12:07
pound here with two strikes.
12:12
He does and Edmond takes it for
12:14
including his 89 grand 89year-old
12:21
no two to Smith fouled into the glove
12:24
strike three Valdez retires Smith for I
12:27
like it I think that's the most shocking
12:31
it is that you like those
12:36
Edmonds down swinging been great Max my
12:40
had been one of the top hitters in the
12:41
lead before he got hurt the other day.
12:43
Freeman's down on strikes, two gone in
12:46
That's a swing and a miss. And that is a
12:49
dazzling sinker for strikeout number one
12:55
Strike three. He dotted him on the
12:57
inside corner and Valdez. But they have
13:00
done a marvelous job of finding guys who
13:03
can help them stay steady as Val take
13:08
Two and two. Swing and a miss. Strike
13:11
three. That's just an evil curveball
13:15
Three and two. Wave and a miss. Strike
13:18
three. The crackle to a right-handed
13:21
hitter. Like I I just feel like that
13:26
a lot of better options.
13:28
Kendrick Morales home run walk
13:33
the Angels. Look at this guy. Chets five
13:37
has been lethal for him over the years
13:40
and that strike three
13:46
one two is swung through
13:54
got him first time he's ever struck out
13:57
Josh Naylor and that's his
13:58
whereas Catel you see has that end of
14:00
the bat hollowed out right there against
14:03
hard throwers He uses a lighter bat
14:05
against soft tossers. He strikes
14:12
really expanded the zone with that
14:19
Catel went way outside to chase the
14:23
not notice those. That's those are my
14:24
was some of my favorites.
14:27
Tried to hold up on a pitch down and
14:28
away and Abrams is down on
14:34
House goes down on strikes. Braber
14:41
Called third strike. Bottom of the zone.
14:44
Young threw the bat away.
14:48
Got him. 1,000 and more so now you see
14:51
all the guys from Venezuela. Hey, how
14:53
you been? What's up, Poppy?
14:55
There's a swing and a miss to Young
14:57
after doubling against Probert. Yeah,
14:59
not one guy on that list would I want to
15:00
face with two strikes,
15:02
but they're the best.
15:08
Oh, yeah. The old back door called third
15:13
By the time you make that decision, it
15:14
comes back and you're rung up.
15:17
10 strikeouts all on the curb. OPS
15:23
got him. Number 11 for Frober. 11 of
15:30
Got him. Rober frustrated at the end of
