Jones swings and misses. So Waka gets
0:05
his first two quick strikes on him with
0:07
a curve ball and a change.
0:09
There you go.
0:13
Backto back strikeouts for Waka. He he
0:15
uses that kind of as a swing and miss
0:18
pitch for sure, but he didn't have no
0:20
trouble there with that change up down
0:21
or that last one there was a curve ball
0:23
down
0:25
and he couldn't lay off that change up
0:27
away.
0:33
change up down
0:35
and excuse me uh Tony Fernandez. He was
0:39
a shorts stop for the Toronto Blue Jays
0:44
and was about as smooth against
0:46
Cleveland in four innings.
0:50
on the corner for a strike of the back
0:53
door cutter base. So he gets the first
0:56
extended shot
0:58
and Walka takes care of him.
1:05
Great spot
1:10
and Waka strikes him out.
1:12
He was a southern Oh, okay. Couldn't
1:14
tell.
1:16
Walka strikes out Bader a second time.
1:19
Nothing too good.
1:24
Did he go? Yes.
1:29
Swing and a miss on that change.
1:36
Swing and a miss. Bellinger down on
1:40
strikes. One down.
1:42
Strike mode.
1:46
Swing and a miss. got the fast ball by
1:49
him. That's smart pitching right there,
1:51
Con because
1:56
swinging a miss. There's that change up
1:57
and yesesh.
2:00
Yeah, that's the
2:03
two and two on Sweeney and he struck him
2:05
out.
2:08
One, two, three inning. Another
2:11
pitch that you've already used. And then
2:14
a fast ball for strike three.
2:15
Guy level on Spencer Torlson right
2:17
before he hit it out.
2:19
A wave and a missile out and said, "Yep,
2:22
he was taking that that lean back."
2:26
Strike three busted him with a two
2:27
seamer. And that is impeccably.
2:30
He remains dangerous
2:32
and Waka got him with the high heat.
2:39
Got him looking. Called strike three
2:42
out there.
2:43
Mhm.
2:47
Got him looking. One, two on Meyers.
2:52
And Waka gets him swinging
2:55
in the batter.
2:57
It's been all hard stuff this at bat.
2:59
Oh yeah.
3:00
And he stays that way. Freezes him with
3:02
a heater. a huge
3:08
swinging
3:09
huge
3:10
thirds per start. That is the best mark
3:12
for any starting group in baseball so
3:15
far this year.
3:19
Did get some good news on a couple of
3:21
pitchers today though.
3:24
Floriano swings through a high change up
3:26
for Waka.
3:27
Doubt about it. You can think about a
3:28
number of pitchers that had that kind of
3:30
pitch.
3:31
struck him out with a change up away. So
3:34
the leader of the Orioles pitched seven
3:36
innings and gave up no runs. And the
3:38
Orioles like his first at bat. He'd like
3:41
to do that again. Walker would like love
3:44
a double play, but he'll take the strike
3:46
out.
3:47
Hear him say something to Alfonso
3:49
Marquez.
3:52
Instead, how about we take a called
3:54
third strike based on the grain of the
3:57
bat.
3:57
That's right.
4:00
Sosa is down on three pitches
4:04
and reaching base between the Royals and
4:07
the White Sox.
4:08
Wow. Huh.
4:10
Two down.
4:12
Got to go. Got to go.
4:16
And Waka with a three pitch strikeout.
4:22
Two- two pitch. He gets Zack Denzo
4:25
swinging. after all the walks we would
4:27
deal with and how frustrating it was
4:29
about the pitching but man now it's so
4:31
special.
4:32
There it is. There's a delay punch out
4:34
call move there not not emptying the
4:36
tank on every fast
4:38
got him looking called strike three
4:44
and walk gets him with the slider
4:51
belted
4:52
to catch the ball. So my feet are number
4:54
one, my hands are number two, and my
4:55
arms number three.
4:56
We've been celebrating this weekend.
4:58
Yep. And they
5:00
beautiful pitch there. It's a a group of
5:03
professionals. You like that?
5:07
There's called strike three.
5:13
And Waka gets him on three pitch.
5:19
Waka strikes out Riley pick and had to
5:22
go back to the minor leagues for a long
5:24
time last year. He's going to be down on
5:26
strike.
5:31
Fast ball over the inside. Play every
5:33
game like it's the seventh inning of the
5:35
World Series. They said, "Man, we're in
5:37
to win every single game." Nice pitch
5:39
there. Caught him looking again. Was the
5:41
best thing for them at the time.
5:44
Walka gets Torqulson a think about his
5:47
pedigree. He grew up in Florida learning
5:50
from Eric Hosmer and knew him from back
5:52
home and then it was really
5:54
and you want to load it with lefties to
5:56
take away some of the variety from Waka
5:58
and that straight change is just awfully
5:59
good. You can experiment. If this
6:02
doesn't work then try this
6:06
swinging a miss on the cutter out number
6:08
two. Let's ability to cover both sides
6:11
of the plate are really going to help
6:12
him a lot. Chase is there. They chose
6:16
him to be the quarterback. The first
6:17
time he was ever a quarterback in his
6:18
life.
6:20
He goes down swinging there. He said
6:21
that
6:25
and Luis Roberts strikes out on a 3-2
6:28
change up.
6:29
Less than a year after he was drafted in
6:33
the big leagues. And Waka strikes him
6:35
out. Both of the strikeouts have been
6:36
with I don't know if you saw, but when I
6:38
came out, Max's team was out there. That
6:40
was pretty special. So, uh, everyone
6:42
act.
6:43
We were both drafted by Kansas City
6:45
coming up through the minor leagues and
6:46
then our entire time in Kansas City. And
6:48
so, you know, I I tucked that in. He's
6:51
got We need a HUD bomb like in
6:53
Baltimore.
6:54
Well, you didn't get it. HUD base hits
6:57
and 21 runs scored.
7:00
But he is down on three pitches. And
7:04
Waka not afraid to go to it. He goes
7:06
with a fast ball here in the Athletic to
7:09
that point. There's a drag on the ball
7:11
for some reason.
7:12
Altered what was going on in the wind
7:15
direction in the jetream and balls
7:16
didn't quite carry
7:19
chases one in the dirt.
7:23
Waka's one two and Langford
7:26
log book the uh authenticated number
7:32
or maybe
7:32
beautiful caught stealing there barely
7:35
set his feet
7:37
and now Camro is down on strikes the Ray
7:40
and run scored
7:41
yeah he's he's a very strong athlete and
7:44
has great hands
7:46
great pitch over the outside edge
7:53
right by him with a fast ball. Two down
7:59
and Cabierro strikes out. Keep it down.
8:03
Roll a pair
8:06
and Walka strikes out. Lao and that is
8:09
ball one swinging, one looking.
8:12
And now he has the hat-tick. This time
8:15
he gets him with a change up and walk.
8:18
They're in the shade right now. You feel
8:20
like you're right in the middle of the
8:21
game. Walk up strikes out. Here's in
8:25
modern day player that that plays every
8:26
day and makes makes enough money.
8:28
Doesn't need need a a full pinchion
8:30
necessarily, but
8:31
he's hot.
8:35
And that is a swing and a season high
8:39
nine strikeouts.
8:40
And Randy Johnson was waiting for us and
8:42
they won.
8:45
And they went on and beat the Yankees.
8:48
That's the easiest pitch to pick up of
8:49
any of them.
8:52
And they can't do it.
8:55
So now the 3-2
8:58
chase that change up.
9:04
Couldn't hold up on the fast ball up.
9:07
Now four Allstars this year for the
9:09
Royals for the second consecutive
9:10
season.
9:13
And and in 16 after our world
9:14
championship, we only had four.
9:22
Felt tip strikeout.
9:24
Boy, that really upset the hitters and
9:26
they they we used to have some meetings
9:27
over that. Great change up.
9:30
It's so beautiful here, man. Oh, man.
9:32
The grass is great. It's green and Juan,
9:34
you're out for a year and a half.
9:40
Fast ball. That's three strikeouts with
9:42
Walka. Extra-L large heart.
9:47
Foul tip and a strikeout.
9:51
Keep working. Keep working and wait your
9:53
turn.
9:54
There you go. Another swing at a high
9:56
fast ball. Walk up has
9:58
They are not hitting as many home runs
10:00
as you would think.
10:03
Late on a fast ball. show who hit eight
10:05
home runs in the 24 games when he was
10:07
with the team earlier this season. But
10:09
he is 0 for two away from the righties
10:11
and he's pounded the left. He's in a lot
10:13
with his fast ball cutter combination
10:15
and it sets up in first place and he
10:17
can't wait to debut. So why not do it in
10:19
a lower leverage spot if possible?
10:21
Quadrant to the strike zone.
10:25
Look at that change up. I mean that's
10:27
like a video game.
10:28
Things changed. One was Roman Anthony
10:30
experienced Major League Baseball in
10:32
Boston and he talked elegantly about
10:35
that point
10:35
is to try and disrupt his rhythm. So he
10:39
takes his time out that didn't work.
10:41
Walka strikes him out
10:42
but you're just in these types of
10:44
innings they go to their guy
10:46
swing and a miss change up
10:49
hopes they they they hit the ball to
10:51
somebody.
10:52
Get him out of there. Nice strike. Fast
10:53
ball struck him out.
10:59
elevated fast ball
11:05
and down he goes on three pitches.
11:09
setting up down and away. And it caught
11:12
more of the plate than he needed to.
11:19
And a high change ups consecutive starts
11:22
coming into tonight where he has allowed
11:24
two earned runs or fewer.
11:29
There's a slider and I don't think
11:31
Torres got a very good look at it.
11:33
What you thought you were going to get?
11:35
How do you feel?
11:36
We feel great. you know,
11:39
before the game. He's here for Magnum
11:41
PII Tom Celich day tomorrow as Johnny
11:44
Kane's got the mustache all revved up.
11:46
Uh, one down here in the fifth.
11:49
I think you want to stay away from as
11:50
best you can. Something hard
11:54
strike. Played one single big league
11:57
game.
11:57
Wow. Pretty impressive. Oo. Hey, I was
12:00
first appearance
12:03
for a new team.
12:05
Yeah. called third strike. It was a
12:08
delayed call.
12:08
You know, never responded that way. And
12:10
when our career was over, nice pitch up
12:13
and ends a surpriser there.
12:15
And yet with all of that, they still
12:18
have the best record in the American
12:20
League in the second half. And Michael W
12:23
are currently on the IIL with Reagan,
12:25
Lugo, and Chris Bubich.
12:35
So means Lugo, at least mathematically,
12:37
could come back that sooner if the back
12:39
is feeling all right.
12:41
With that big flamingo kick, he goes,
12:43
"Well, I'll change that." Nice pitch. I
12:46
won't do it. I won't stride at all.
12:49
Very interesting.
12:49
Toward the end of it. Mhm.
12:53
Look at Walka and he is just using all
12:56
of his
12:57
That's what he's looking for.
13:00
Oh yeah. Called third strike.
13:04
on the corner
13:09
and that one's in for a called third
13:10
strike.
13:12
But Toronto decided order in the third
13:17
and he gets Lucas on three pitches
13:19
putting him away with a change.
13:20
Players, coaches, managers, they make a
13:23
lot of money and they usually go they
13:25
love it here and we'll
13:28
two outs langers on first. Here's the
13:30
pitch. And Brent Brooker is going to
13:32
shake his head. Didn't like the call,
13:34
but he will.
13:39
That's a strike.
13:47
Strike three.
13:48
My
13:49
one.
13:54
And Wilson down on the foul tip. Rooker
13:57
left on
14:02
Foul tip.
