He swung at that one. He elevates the

1:00
that more often than not to start the
1:01
year.
1:03
Paulie watches called strike three at
1:05
the knees. Inning over. Marlins get a
1:07
run on a hit.
1:12
Swing a miss. Good change up. Inning
1:14
over. S.
1:15
You can come up with all kinds of ideas,
1:16
but I think at spring's probably the
1:18
best time to do it. You know, in the
1:20
first inning sometimes you you might not
1:22
have a feel for your best pitch
1:25
and as the game goes on you get a feel.
1:27
Perfect four.
1:28
That RBI for Hicks was his sixth of the
1:31
season and that's foul tipped into the
1:33
middle of Moreno and there's one
1:35
is down by nine runs every at bat
1:40
and Kelly just made some good pitches.
1:42
Righthander two and two on Sega Suzuki
1:45
the DH
1:47
and Merrill gets a swing and a miss.
1:49
That's the change.
1:54
Swinging a miss. Strike three. Flyers.
1:56
There are certain hitters that'll do it.
2:00
Oh, two waving a miss. Strike three.
2:06
Payoff.
2:08
Outside corner. It's a call. Third
2:10
strike. Nico was heading down to first.
2:13
Do his best work when he's a little more
2:14
aggressive.
2:17
Outside corner. It's a call third strike
2:20
master class.
2:25
There's the change up.
2:28
That one is ninth season. All with the
2:30
Braves.
2:32
Rung him up. That saker came back and
2:34
caught the edge of the zone. He's hit 50
2:36
pitches through two and a third.
2:39
Boy, look, we just talked about that.
2:41
Look at that location right there.
2:43
Justin Martinez.
2:48
Yes, he did. Yes, he did. Says Glenn
2:50
Bondre and Merryill got strength. If
2:52
you thought Charlie Manuel had some
2:53
stories coming back from Japan, how
2:55
about if you came back from Japan?
2:57
Oh my.
2:58
But for me, it's, you know, it doesn't
2:59
matter whether I'm going against a top
3:02
of the line guy or, you know, a guy
3:03
maybe
3:04
counts
3:07
[Music]

5:48
There's that change up again.
5:49
Went to swing right.
5:53
Took that one though. A cutter. Full
5:55
count strikeout and business. Slow start
5:57
but then got things rolling.
6:00
Swing and a miss. Does it one ball, two
6:03
strikes
6:04
and Mason chases up and a run in the
6:08
first inning.
6:11
And that one cut on and missed. His
6:12
fifth strike out. And Kelly time with
6:14
Fredbird. He does not speak
6:17
but quite animated. So Walker is rung up
6:20
on a check swing over that stretch.
6:27
Not
6:28
was interviewing with Derek and he asked
6:29
if he had if I had any questions. I did
6:31
ask him about, you know, I'm a mom.
6:34
Dag's the buddy. Kennedy grand slam had
6:36
Oh yeah.
6:37
Dad on camera as well. Guy looked like
6:39
he could bench it easy. 450.
6:45
Oh, nice pitch. Good. Dbeback

designating for assignment. Joe Maniply.

6:54
Let's see. 3-2.
6:57
Change up at the knees. And he does get
7:00
auna with a lat muscle strain. And this
7:02
is already his 13th start this year.

7:09
cutter.
7:12
Called strike on the outside corner.

change up, Josh. It's that change up one
7:49
more time for Merrill.
7:51
Merryill ahead 0 and two.
7:55
And he goes bottom of the order. Just
7:58

8:01
Oh, got a little help from Dan Isia on
8:03
that sinker who said it came back just

Swinging a miss. Left the change up.
8:23
Coming inside.
8:26
Oh boy. Got some help. That's that
8:29
sinker that he train. It's been one and
8:31
two.
8:33
Swing and a miss. There's old faithful
8:35
the Merryill Kelly change up. What a
8:37
night he had last night. Two two. Got
8:41
him.
8:43
Padre catcher.
8:47
Waves of a fast ball. Merryill gets his
8:49
third strike out. Length of the bullpen.
8:52
25 pitches in this inning for Merryill.
8:56
And he dots the corner with that four
8:57
seamer and picks up his four strike.
9:04
Got it that time. Just a little bit
9:08
closer to that corner.
9:13
Right at the knees and Manny knew it.
9:15
Got caught looking at that change up and
9:17
he just surren.
9:23
There's the putaway.
9:29
And Hunter goes down here. first out of
9:31
the inning and that'll
9:37
and that's how he induces a strike.
9:39
That's a long time.
9:45
Kelly's third strike. Arm slot release
9:47
with good carry.
9:51
That's his fifth strike.
9:54
3-2.
9:58
He got him with a change up.
10:00
the 36y old 22
10:05
gets the strike out. That's his seventh
10:07
strike out.
10:08
Augustine for his uh numbers. 30 stolen
10:12
bases only four caught. Steel gets the
10:14
fast ball by him and there's
10:20
swinging a miss goes to Old Faithful.
10:22
That change up
10:23
came up. I reached out to some members
10:25
of the baseball team and I go, "Hey, you
10:26
guys want to swing at the big ball? Oh,
10:27
let's go see if we can put some of the
10:29
yard.
10:34
Jose Herrera hangs on. Foul tip with the
10:37
cutter.
10:42
Much better change up right there. And
10:45
to improve. He's turned into a pretty
10:46
good player for them.
10:49
And Merryill gets a fast ball. First
10:51
time Mel Kelly has surrendered to lead
10:53
off home runs since August of last year
10:56
against the Dodgers. Yes, he went, says
10:58
Raone De Jesus.
11:00
Lock in,
11:01
you know, try to get the first two guys
11:03
out and then pitch pitchy ass tough
11:05
knowing that De's hitting in the
11:07
two-hole. Um,
11:09
career hits. There's pitch seven coming
11:11
up and a swing and a miss. Struck him
11:14
out on Nobody's reached second base yet
11:16
for San Diego.
11:19
swinging a miss and Diaz.
11:23
Run number five of the year as Machado
11:25
strikes out on a change up.
11:29
He walked two as well in the first.
11:31
Mc Allen had a 28 pitch first last
11:34
night. Trout off and running and Ward is
11:36
caught looking at the change up. Base
11:38
streak entering this series.
11:42
Strikes out on a fast ball here. A
11:43
cutter. Quite a few home runs.
11:45
What's his name again? 38 right now for
11:47
Cal Raleigh. That is a cold strike pitch
11:52
that looked like it would be a prime
11:54
target. Mel Kelly
11:56
as Ward
11:59
the weak swing strikes out seven with 73
12:02
pitches. Three and two and it is a foul
12:06
tip for strike three.
12:13
It's right in there. So it was could
12:15
have been a good day for Mel Kelly.
12:16
Faithful. Walker's got a lot of swing
12:18
and miss.
12:20
We were saying well he tried to sinker
12:22
just as good
12:23
areas where you know if we need to turn
12:24
it on we can but for the most part guys
12:27
can kind of settle in here.
12:29
Merryill goes with that cutter upstairs
12:31
gets a big strike
12:32
within the top 150 overall. And so
12:34
they're going to try to spread some of
12:35
that pool money around and see if they
12:37
can get him to sign.
12:38
The great Jesse Borak from MLB pipeline.
12:44
got him.
12:46
He finally went to a breaking ball the
12:48
first half.
12:49
Exactly right.
12:49
Tory would call down to the bullpen say,
12:51
"Who can throw?"
12:54
Oh, guys, you're right. He's got that
12:55
aura about him.
12:58
Right on the corner and he rings up
13:00
McCuten with a SL.
13:02
Have to worry
13:05
during deadline time. Now, of course,
13:08
there were two deadlines
13:22
and he's able to sneak that pass. Sure.
13:23
from Bruce Bochi and the Rangers happy
13:25
to be getting out of here
13:27
given their lack of success.
13:55
And he gets the swing and miss there.
13:57
Change up inside and a big strike out
14:00
for Kelly. That was a proud moment. The
14:02
bat was bigger than I was. 2-2. He got
14:05
him.
14:06
Nuto watching the cutter. Big strike out
14:09
for me.
14:12
Two. Got him.
14:15
Cutter sneaks over the inside court.
14:18
Boach is being a little bit more direct.
14:20
We We really need to get some things
14:21
going here.
14:23
Thomas strikes out swinging. Merrell
14:26
just start in his ballpark as a Ranger
14:30
and it didn't go well. He strikes out
14:31
McCann.
14:34
The payoff on the way. Swing and a miss.
14:37
He does it. Seventh pitch of this at
14:40
bat. Bad strike three called. So Kelly
14:44
ends up strike.
14:45
It's probably healthy for him every now
14:47
and then to to air out his feelings.
14:51
Kelly gets Doesn't
14:54
have much in the way here. The 2-2.
14:56
There's a swing and a miss. And India,
14:58
you're at risk as a pitcher right now.
15:01
[Applause]
15:03
And that's down and away.
15:08
And a call. Third strike. So
15:10
shoot the ball the other way.
15:14
Two two pitch and a swing and a miss.
15:16
That is a tough strikeout. But Kelly to
15:19
was Zack Brinky. He had a hard change
15:21
up, right?
15:23
Oh, that's a swing. Yeah, Steam strikes
15:26
out. Swinging stays near to that bag. It
15:28
could be a lowscoring ball game.
15:31
Swinging a miss. And Aria strikes out.
15:33
Third strike.
15:35
Mel Kelly get this third out.
15:37
Is O2 and he struck him out swinging.
15:41
Naylor goes down for the final out of
15:43
the And got an even better one for you.
15:47
A swing and a miss. Martinez smiling
15:50
going what are these announcers saying
15:51
up there 3-2 and there's strike three
15:55
yesterday I guess it was yesterday and
15:58
the day before
16:00
and there's a swinging strike out of
16:02
Arias this works kind of like this one
16:06
two- two and Rochio cuts through the cut
16:09
fast ball responsibility as well that
16:12
comes along with that
16:14
swings and misses on a change years ago
16:17
there was a lot of Hot
16:20
swing and a miss. A slider
16:22
average against on that pitch.
16:24
02 and a swing and a miss. He gets him
16:29
with a change up base.
16:32
The one two and a swing and a miss. And
16:35
he did exactly what you said. A lot of
16:38
baseball people the last couple of days
16:39
who have all echoed the same thing. The
16:41
one-two pitch and there's that strikeout
16:43
that Basic was asking for.
16:46
Do you want to be the hunter or the
16:48
hunted? I think you want to be the
16:49
hunter. There's a swing and a miss. And
16:52
Smith strikes out. But I think your
16:55
point is is even better, right? Which is
16:58
I'd rather be in first. There's a swing
17:00
and a miss and Pñena strikes out back.
17:03
Fall for anything, Mike. You said you're
17:05
going to lay down.
17:07
There's a swing and a miss. And Walker
17:09
strikes out. Road trip for them.
17:13
Two. and he got him swinging.
17:21
Cali finds the outside corner.
17:24
Cut fast ball.
17:25
There were definitely extra nerves. Um
17:28
but then at the end of the day, it's
17:30
just it's another baseball game at this
17:32
slip past you.
17:35
One, two, and a strike out of Jansen.
17:39
And a good bounce back inning for
17:41
Maryland.
17:41
Oh. Oh, you want the you want the raw
17:43
number. I'll say 208. It's a swing and a
17:46
miss. And Yell strikes out
17:49
by Pat Murphy.
17:53
And there's a swinging strike out of
17:54
Yelli.
17:56
Same change up again here. 3-2.
17:59
Oh, he goes fast ball. Strike three
18:01
called and Bowers goes down for you.
18:04
Good question. It's been a long time,
18:06
Dave.
18:07
Swinging a miss. Walker strike.
18:09
Quite interesting. We'll get into that
18:11
this afternoon as Carol delivers and is
18:14
swinging
