00:00:00Welcome to the Motor City. This is Comerica Park. Major League Baseball on tap. It's the Houston
00:00:19Astros and the Detroit Tigers. And we'll be back for the first pitch right after this.
00:00:30Just about set to go down. And on the mound now, Jim Gunning. Singing, he's managed to rack up a lot of innings on the mound this season.
00:00:49Hey, Boog, this guy's getting close to 200 innings on the year. You know, there's some milestones that pitchers go after. One of them, 20 wins.
00:00:56But another one that we don't talk about a whole lot is that 200 inning threshold. To be able to surpass that says that, hey, they prepared themselves for the season.
00:01:05They were able to stay healthy and they were able to pitch effectively enough to stay in ballgames long enough to reach that number.
00:01:12Pretty impressive on what he's done. And it's not over yet.
00:01:15Let's go, Geiger.
00:01:22And he deals.
00:01:25Jose Altuve at the plate now as he chases after that one.
00:01:33First pitch, 640.
00:01:35No, the shift on. Pits right into it.
00:01:43And he picks it up and he'll put it in his pocket.
00:01:49Right-hander kicks deals.
00:01:52Going to count one and two.
00:01:54Pretty standard high 0-2 fastball right there.
00:01:57If you're smart, you'll look for something down in the zone, but not too far.
00:02:01Don't want to chase that breaking ball in the dirt.
00:02:02And there's a hit.
00:02:04And the leadoff man aboard.
00:02:11And now, Craig Biggio.
00:02:14Two hits in the game last night.
00:02:21In there for strike one.
00:02:23Altuve on at first.
00:02:33Nobody out.
00:02:40Next offering is in for a strike.
00:02:42Good zip on that fastball at the bottom of the zone.
00:02:45If he's there all day, it's going to be a tough one for the hitters.
00:02:47Right into the plate.
00:02:52Got him looking.
00:02:54One out.
00:02:55Well, that curveball had some pretty good break to it.
00:02:58As you can see, the hitter just locked up a little bit.
00:03:00Thought it was a great pitch to hit, but sometimes you're looking for something else and you can't pull the trigger.
00:03:07And next to hit for Houston, Jeff Bagwell.
00:03:10So clutch, you could argue that he's been this team's MVP this year.
00:03:16He's going.
00:03:17He's going.
00:03:17Altuve runs.
00:03:18Pitch in for a strike.
00:03:20Throw to second.
00:03:21Ow!
00:03:22Usually when you see a team trying to steal a base in the early innings, it tells you they want to be aggressive on offense.
00:03:28Trying to force the defense to make plays and slow them down.
00:03:31That's exactly what they did right there.
00:03:33So we'll see if that caught stealing changes the offensive approach moving forward.
00:03:41The wind of the pitch.
00:03:45That one misses.
00:03:47And it's a ball and a strike.
00:03:49No score just getting started top of the first.
00:03:55Ripped to third.
00:03:56And it's through for a hit.
00:03:58So a two-out knock keeps the inning alive.
00:04:00Throws to second.
00:04:02And he's out!
00:04:04Butt down and that ends the inning.
00:04:07Half and incomplete.
00:04:08We've got no score.
00:04:21We go to the bottom of the first.
00:04:24And today's starter, J.R. Richard.
00:04:26Always a treat to watch one of the best starters in the sport singing.
00:04:30Been a very solid pitcher throughout his career.
00:04:33ERA around three and a half.
00:04:35What I like is he competes.
00:04:36He stays in the game.
00:04:37And he gives his team an opportunity to win.
00:04:40Bottom of the first.
00:04:41Here's a speed threat.
00:04:42Ty Cobb puts it away from the out.
00:04:46Let's take a check to the Tigers lineup.
00:04:47Sam Crawford getting ready to hit.
00:05:11Good contact guy.
00:05:12Good defender.
00:05:14Singy, you've got to appreciate a guy who's this good defensively.
00:05:18I mean, watching him track balls in the outfield, it is beautiful.
00:05:22Line drive.
00:05:24Gets it to first.
00:05:26Two up, two down.
00:05:30Batting third.
00:05:31The right fielder.
00:05:33Al.
00:05:35Kayline.
00:05:36Al Kayline.
00:05:37Up now for the Tigers.
00:05:38K-line.
00:05:40Not having as much success with the bat here at home as you see the splits.
00:05:44And the first offering is not close.
00:06:03The pitch.
00:06:06Two balls, no strikes to count.
00:06:08And a pitch.
00:06:27Oh, he never moved because he never had time to.
00:06:31But that kind of velocity, you'd prefer that pitch or work away.
00:06:35And a pitch.
00:06:35Pitch.
00:06:35Swing and a miss.
00:06:59And now three and two.
00:07:01Pitch.
00:07:01Pitch.
00:07:01Pitch.
00:07:01Pitch.
00:07:02Pitch.
00:07:03Pitch.
00:07:03Pitch.
00:07:03Pitch.
00:07:04Pitch.
00:07:04Pitch.
00:07:05Pitch.
00:07:06Downstairs.
00:07:08And it misses.
00:07:08Ball four.
00:07:10It's not easy laying off that pitch.
00:07:12It's designed to fool you.
00:07:13But he just wasn't fooled at all.
00:07:16Number seven.
00:07:16Up now for the Tigers.
00:07:18Number seven.
00:07:24Swings through that one.
00:07:260-1.
00:07:26One.
00:07:26And a pitch.
00:07:43And there's a ball.
00:07:451-0.
00:07:46It's a 1-1.
00:07:57Late that time.
00:07:58And it's strike two.
00:07:59I guess you throw it that hard.
00:08:01You can get away with locations like that right down the middle.
00:08:04But I still think it's a dangerous pitch.
00:08:06Don't want to do it again.
00:08:07There you go, Tiger.
00:08:10Kicks and deals.
00:08:26Kicks and deals.
00:08:28That one missed.
00:08:30This guy's a fun guy to watch taking it bad.
00:08:33He just battles up there.
00:08:34He doesn't take a pitch off at all.
00:08:36Makes it so difficult on the pitchers out there.
00:08:39You can tell they get frustrated with how long it takes to put him away.
00:08:42The next offering misses.
00:08:46And the count is filled up.
00:08:47The pitch.
00:09:00And a foul ball.
00:09:02He stays alive.
00:09:08Eighth pitch of the at-back coming up.
00:09:11And ball four to a board.
00:09:36Well, that's a nice job of grinding out that at-bat.
00:09:39Saw a lot of pitches.
00:09:40And ends up drawing a walk.
00:09:42Very gritty.
00:09:43Allen Trammell.
00:09:45Up now for the Tigers.
00:09:46Knocked in three of their four runs in yesterday's game.
00:09:52Pitch misses inside.
00:09:54And it's 1-0.
00:09:55And downstairs.
00:10:13Good spot for the hitter.
00:10:15Definitely has the advantage in this count with runners on.
00:10:18Look for him to be aggressive on this next pitch.
00:10:21Number six.
00:10:22The lead runner at second.
00:10:23Number seven at first.
00:10:25Two out of the inning.
00:10:28The 2-0 is in for a strike.
00:10:31Richard.
00:10:32One of the best strikeout pitchers in the game.
00:10:34And that certainly is a benefit to him when he's in a spot like this.
00:10:49That misses.
00:10:50And that's ball three.
00:10:51Yeah.
00:10:52If you're going to be in the game in high leverage situations, you've got to be able
00:10:56to get the swing and miss and put hitters away.
00:10:59And now a full count.
00:11:01Out there on the mound.
00:11:01He's setting the tone early with the fastball.
00:11:0498 miles per hour up on the scoreboard.
00:11:08Two outs.
00:11:09A couple of base runners at first and second.
00:11:11This one in the air right field.
00:11:20Number 17.
00:11:21That's this one sized up.
00:11:23And that is that.
00:11:26Tigers strand a pair.
00:11:27We played an inning.
00:11:29No score.
00:11:29Well, come on.
00:11:36Dance with me.
00:11:37Come on.
00:11:39Luis Gonzalez digs in now.
00:11:43Gonzalez right now number six on the American League home run leaderboard.
00:11:47Luis Gonzalez.
00:11:49Dunning back to work.
00:12:01Dunning.
00:12:02He has a reputation.
00:12:03I don't know.
00:12:04Maybe a knack for working himself out of tough situations that he finds himself in.
00:12:08But, you know, you like that in a relief pitcher.
00:12:10But when you have it for a starting pitcher, a guy that can get out of a tight spot, that is pretty valuable.
00:12:17Next offering down low and in the dirt.
00:12:19And you won't see the skipper rush to get somebody up in the bullpen as soon as he starts to see some signs of trouble.
00:12:25This guy's earned a longer leash.
00:12:26And because of that, confidence grows with the players and teammates playing behind him.
00:12:31That when things get a little rough out there, they know he'll find his way through it.
00:12:36And the righty deals.
00:12:38Popped up.
00:12:41Geringer under it.
00:12:44Puts the squeeze on it.
00:12:46And there's one away.
00:12:52Batting pick.
00:12:54The right fielder.
00:12:55Number 17.
00:13:00Number 17.
00:13:01Up next for the Astros.
00:13:04Obviously a guy who makes good contact.
00:13:06Hits for average.
00:13:07But one of the things in today's game, the value and the fact that he hits both righties and lefties.
00:13:15First pitch and he just misses.
00:13:17How much of the ability to do that in a tight spot is the mental approach?
00:13:23I think it's very much being able to have a laser-like focus, slow everything down, stay right in that moment.
00:13:30Pitch to pitch, execution, and focusing on that catcher's mitt.
00:13:33Next offering is in for a strike.
00:13:45No score here in the second.
00:13:46Next pitch just misses.
00:13:53Two and two.
00:13:54Good eye right there.
00:14:02They're so reliant on the matchups nowadays, Chris.
00:14:05And it's huge when you don't have to sit a guy or platoon him.
00:14:08When you can hit both sides in terms of pitcher's arms, you're a guy that it's hard to take out of the lineup.
00:14:13And I think it's very important today when everything is under the microscope.
00:14:17Swing and a ground ball out to short.
00:14:31Zips it across.
00:14:33Two up, two down on the top of the second.
00:14:38That exists.
00:14:40The third baseman.
00:14:41Ken Caminiti.
00:14:45Ken Caminiti.
00:14:46A guy who's really opened up some eyes at his first Major League season.
00:14:51Hoping to finish strong in September, too.
00:15:05First offering, and it just misses.
00:15:07That's where you want it.
00:15:08It's a good miss.
00:15:11And a 1-0.
00:15:12Now a check swing, but he held up.
00:15:17Second inning here.
00:15:18No score.
00:15:23On the ground right side.
00:15:27Tosses to first.
00:15:29And that is that.
00:15:30We go to the bottom of inning number two.
00:15:32We're tied.
00:15:34Nothing, nothing.
00:15:34Back at Comerica Park.
00:15:40Now the third baseman.
00:15:41Number 21.
00:15:43This guy is an elite level hitter, especially considering contact.
00:15:47Just the ability to hit for average.
00:15:50What you really like, though, stays in against those righties.
00:15:53And that's not so easy as a right-handed batter.
00:15:57That's in there.
00:15:58There's some players, for whatever reasons, they seem to just face a slew of right-handed pitchers.
00:16:05And their comfort level increased so much that they'd actually prefer to face that same side thrower in a tough situation.
00:16:110-2 as he waves at that one.
00:16:20And that just misses.
00:16:23Yeah, most guys struggle against the same side, whether it's left-on-left or right-on-right.
00:16:29And this guy's an exception.
00:16:31Swing and a miss.
00:16:32And he struck him out.
00:16:34And one gone.
00:16:35Now it's the second baseman, Charlie Gerringer.
00:16:40Charlie Gerringer.
00:16:44Liner.
00:16:45Base hit.
00:16:47Around first.
00:16:48Digging for two.
00:16:50Not stopping.
00:16:51He's going for three.
00:16:54Pulls into third safely with a triple.
00:16:57Didn't take long to get a result for that at bat.
00:17:00He didn't smoke that ball, but he didn't have to, man.
00:17:02When you're working the ball gap-to-gap, there's so much open space out there.
00:17:06So I think that knock was all about his approach and that willingness to just let the ball get deep on it.
00:17:11Runner in scoring position now and a good opportunity to push across the first run of the ball game.
00:17:15The designated hitter.
00:17:18Number 19.
00:17:19And now here is number 19.
00:17:23First pitch doesn't find the zone.
00:17:24Geringer takes his lead at third with one away.
00:17:39And the next pitch is way outside.
00:17:42Let's go.
00:17:52Waiting for the pitch.
00:17:53And the right-hander deals.
00:17:57Now 3-0.
00:17:59Appears they're working around him with the base open, Singy.
00:18:02Well, you know these 2-0 counts, Boo.
00:18:03They're just not what they used to be.
00:18:05And we sound like old guys when I say that.
00:18:08But ultimately, this is a strategic game.
00:18:10And you expect to see this type of approach by the pitcher in this situation.
00:18:15In for a strike.
00:18:17Now 3-1.
00:18:17And a foul ball.
00:18:34Nothing-nothing here in the bottom of the second.
00:18:36Center field.
00:18:46And that is Springer.
00:18:48Pulls it down and he makes the catch.
00:18:51Runner tagging from third.
00:18:53Row home.
00:18:54He beats it.
00:18:55And it's 1-0.
00:18:56Sometimes all you've got to do is your job and don't overcomplicate things.
00:19:00Keep it simple.
00:19:01Runner in third.
00:19:02Less than two outs.
00:19:03Put the ball in play.
00:19:04And a nice job with the sack fly.
00:19:05Bill Freehand up now for the Tigers.
00:19:12Freehand getting better against right-handers this year.
00:19:15So some reverse splits there.
00:19:29He didn't want to give up that run, but he did.
00:19:31Got the fly ball.
00:19:32Sack fly out.
00:19:33Now it's time to attack these other guys.
00:19:35Get your team back in the dugout.
00:19:42Two outs.
00:19:46Out to short.
00:19:48Correa gloves it.
00:19:50Fires over to first.
00:19:52And that ends the inning.
00:19:54We play two full.
00:19:56It's the Tigers one and the Astros nothing.
00:20:05Back here at the ballpark.
00:20:10Top half of the third inning.
00:20:11Now Correa up to hit.
00:20:13Sing, you talk about a guy that has all the skills.
00:20:16The range is really good, but the arm just stands out and he makes all the plays.
00:20:20And because of that big power arm, he's able to play a little bit deeper, make throws from the outfield grass all the way across the diamond and still get a pretty good runner.
00:20:33That's impressive.
00:20:35That pitch in for a strike.
00:20:37And that is strike one.
00:20:41Righty delivers.
00:20:45Swing and a miss.
00:20:46And he was fooled.
00:20:52Swing and a miss.
00:20:54The velocity blasted it right past him.
00:20:57Dominating strike out there on just three pitches.
00:21:00And that's what a good power pitcher can do to you.
00:21:02He's hitting the spots, filling up the strike zone.
00:21:04Sometimes he bats over before it really begins.
00:21:11And it'll be George Springer to step to the plate.
00:21:18And he swings and misses and it's nothing you want.
00:21:23The pitch.
00:21:34Ball.
00:21:37I got a ball, one strike.
00:21:45So, a foul ball makes it one and two.
00:21:53Here comes a pitch.
00:21:58Now, fly ball to right center.
00:22:01K-line makes the catch.
00:22:03And there's two away.
00:22:06Batting none.
00:22:08The catcher.
00:22:09Number 12.
00:22:11Two outs.
00:22:12Base is empty.
00:22:13Next to hit, number 12.
00:22:15This guy, one of the best defensive catchers going.
00:22:18You talk about framing, the ability to block, catch, and throw.
00:22:23He is at the top of the game.
00:22:26Foul ball.
00:22:28Really good athlete.
00:22:29And many times we talk about, you know, the feet of infielders.
00:22:33This catcher as well.
00:22:34Really quick feet.
00:22:36He's able to recognize the pitch, see the trajectory,
00:22:39and get into a spot where he can block those balls
00:22:41and keep them from going to the backstop.
00:22:43And the 0-2.
00:22:51Cut on and miss.
00:22:52Struck him out.
00:22:54And good work there as he gets a 1-2-3.
00:22:57Astros are down quietly.
00:22:59They're down 1-0.
00:23:01Baby, let it roll.
00:23:03As we go to the last of the third.
00:23:13And here's the Tiger leadoff man, Ty Cobb.
00:23:19Richard, back to work.
00:23:22Really impressive with the way he frames,
00:23:25the way that he sets it up,
00:23:26because sometimes those pitches are off the plate,
00:23:28but because he sets up and presents it so well,
00:23:31he still strikes for his pitcher.
00:23:42And he drops it down the third baseline.
00:23:45And it goes just foul.
00:23:53And it's fouled away.
00:23:54Left-hand batter waits.
00:24:06And a foul ball.
00:24:07He stays alive.
00:24:08Swing and a miss.
00:24:21Struck him out.
00:24:23One gone here.
00:24:24Very frustrating right there as a speedy potential base runner
00:24:28when with two strikes you just struggle to put the ball in play.
00:24:32You don't even have to get a hit at that point.
00:24:33You can help your team just by reaching on an error.
00:24:37But some way, you've got to find a way to shorten up the swing
00:24:39and put the ball in play next time.
00:24:41And now, Sam Crawford.
00:24:44And that's in there for strike one.
00:24:46There's the strike.
00:25:01Well, he's gotten ahead with two pitches down in the zone.
00:25:04He has plenty of options right here.
00:25:05He can go up.
00:25:06He can go away.
00:25:07He can add velocity.
00:25:08He can subtract.
00:25:10Got him.
00:25:11Back-to-back strikeouts.
00:25:13Well, any time you can punch out the top two guys in a lineup to start an inning,
00:25:17got to be feeling pretty good out there on the mound
00:25:19because when you think of just having a distraction,
00:25:22table setters on the base paths,
00:25:24and all of a sudden you're dealing with a number three hitter,
00:25:27any distraction can cause you to serve up a cookie.
00:25:29And instead of it being a solo shot, it's a two- or three-run homer.
00:25:33Foul ball there.
00:25:34Next pitch misses.
00:25:46Ball one.
00:25:47Counts one and one.
00:25:54Popped in the air.
00:25:56Left field.
00:25:57Gonzalez makes the catch, and that'll do it.
00:26:00Down in order go the Tigers, but they hold a 1-0 lead.
00:26:15Back here in Detroit, and now the DH.
00:26:18Leading off for the Astros.
00:26:20The designated hitter, Jose Altuve.
00:26:23And the pitch.
00:26:34There's a strike.
00:26:36Oh, he's looking great so far.
00:26:37It helps when over 80% of your first pitches are strikes.
00:26:40He might be able to go the distance if he keeps this up.
00:26:44And foul ball.
00:26:45Chases that one out of the zone.
00:26:58One up, one down.
00:27:00Really love the pitch sequence right there.
00:27:02I'm telling you what.
00:27:02Pitcher and catcher on the same page right now.
00:27:04Number seven.
00:27:05Second page.
00:27:07Craig.
00:27:08Here we go.
00:27:09Craig Biggio, up next for the Astros.
00:27:18Caught looking his first time up.
00:27:22First pitch, just misses.
00:27:35One down, base is empty.
00:27:37And that one fouled off.
00:27:48The pitch.
00:27:52Just off the outside edge.
00:28:02Misses outside.
00:28:03Ball three.
00:28:04Here's an opportunity to do some damage and perhaps unlock this offense.
00:28:08Three-one count.
00:28:09Be ready to turn on a fastball.
00:28:14And there's ball four.
00:28:17Well, he tried to nibble right there and just missed his spot.
00:28:20Hitter didn't offer at it.
00:28:22Now he has somebody to worry about over at first.
00:28:25Stepping in.
00:28:25The long ball threat.
00:28:27Jeff Bagwell.
00:28:27In there and it's 0-1.
00:28:40There was a high-velocity fastball in the zone.
00:28:43I think a little frustration from walking the previous hitter.
00:28:46He's got good stuff.
00:28:47Pitch inside the zone and trust it.
00:28:49Kicks and fires.
00:28:59With two strikes.
00:29:01May see some movement over there at first base.
00:29:03Trying to stay out of a double play here.
00:29:05Check on the runner.
00:29:16Biggio dives back in safely.
00:29:18Next pitch is in the dirt.
00:29:34And a count one and two.
00:29:42And he deals.
00:29:44Oh, this ball is crushed into left field.
00:29:47It's on its way and gone.
00:29:49Singhi, this was a mammoth home run.
00:30:15And over 460 feet, according to StatCast.
00:30:20You know, Boob, there are only maybe 20 or so guys in the game that can hit a baseball that far.
00:30:27And it's absolutely crazy.
00:30:29It's even that many.
00:30:30Such an impressive swing of the bat right there.
00:30:33Luis Gonzalez.
00:30:35Up next for the Astros.
00:30:37Hit it well, but flied out to the deepest part of the outfield his first time.
00:30:41The wide to kick the pitch.
00:30:58And that one is lifted in the air.
00:31:01Cobb gets under it.
00:31:02Makes the grab, and there's two gone.
00:31:09Now batting.
00:31:11Number 17.
00:31:13Now it's the right fielder.
00:31:15Number 17.
00:31:16And he swings and misses at the initial offering.
00:31:32Two down, nobody on.
00:31:36And ball one.
00:31:37Just missed.
00:31:51The wide and the pitch.
00:31:55And a swing and a miss.
00:31:56Back down, two and two.
00:32:06Righty to the plate.
00:32:10Stays alive.
00:32:19The wide to the pitch.
00:32:23And now the count filled up three and two.
00:32:26The pitch.
00:32:37Fault off foul.
00:32:43Good battle here.
00:32:44About to be the eighth pitch of the at bat.
00:32:50Here's a high fly ball out to center.
00:32:53Cobb under this one.
00:32:55He's got it.
00:32:56And that will end the inning.
00:32:58Two run shot for the Astros this inning.
00:33:01And this is now a 2-1 ball game.
00:33:04Ready to go.
00:33:17Ready to go.
00:33:20Bottom four.
00:33:20Now here's the Tigers cleanup hitter.
00:33:23Number seven.
00:33:25Well, after putting up a nice inning on offense.
00:33:27Got some runs across.
00:33:28This is where you look for the starter to go out there.
00:33:30Have a shutdown inning.
00:33:32Don't give that other team any hope.
00:33:34You just hope that he can get through this inning.
00:33:36Get the bats back up there while they're hot.
00:33:37That's in there.
00:33:40That's strike one.
00:33:41Well, he's been incredibly efficient in this one.
00:33:43First pitch strike percentage over 70%.
00:33:46That's well above league average.
00:33:48And that's what's allowed him to pitch well up until this point.
00:33:50The one-to-one.
00:34:05Got him.
00:34:06One away.
00:34:07But that kind of velocity, an elevated fastball,
00:34:12even if it's still in the strike zone,
00:34:14can be tough for hitters to get on top of.
00:34:16Allen Trammell.
00:34:24And now the shortstop, Allen Trammell.
00:34:30Check swing, but he went too far.
00:34:330-1.
00:34:37The pitch.
00:34:59And that's outside.
00:35:00That's outside.
00:35:07And a foul ball.
00:35:261-2 now.
00:35:30And that one handled.
00:35:32The throw to first.
00:35:33Already two gone here in the home fourth.
00:35:36Good arm side run to that same side hitter right there.
00:35:38Very difficult to put that ball in the air or get through it.
00:35:41Just pours in on the hands.
00:35:43Number 21 up now for the Tigers.
00:35:53First pitch, and that's in for a strike.
00:35:56The guy's going this good.
00:35:57He's retired seven in a row.
00:35:58You got to step out of the box, fake bunt,
00:36:00do something to break it up.
00:36:02The 0-1.
00:36:10Now 1-1.
00:36:111-1.
00:36:121-1.
00:36:19That misses, and it's 2-1.
00:36:22And now 2-2.
00:36:31Bringing the cheese on that one.
00:36:33Slapped foul.
00:36:50And a foul ball.
00:37:02He stays alive.
00:37:13Pitch misses, and the count's full.
00:37:15Wow, this guy's really battling up there as if his run is the game-winning run.
00:37:21I love his tenacity.
00:37:25And a swing and a miss.
00:37:27And that's that.
00:37:29Tigers fail to make any noise, and our score remains 2-1.
00:37:34All set for the start of the inning.
00:37:50And stepping in for the Astros, Ken Caminiti.
00:37:53The third baseman, Ken Caminiti.
00:38:03And here it comes.
00:38:07Swing, and that ball smashed on a line.
00:38:10Dives.
00:38:11What a play.
00:38:14So a great diving catch, and that was only possible because of the route he took to get there.
00:38:20Right, Chris?
00:38:20Yeah, StatCast shows us just how efficient that route to the ball was.
00:38:25In fact, that's about as good as it gets.
00:38:27Pretty much a direct line to it.
00:38:29And perhaps he was a wide receiver in a different life.
00:38:32I don't know.
00:38:33But, man, great job to hold on all the way through the dive as well.
00:38:37No fumble caused by the ground.
00:38:51Next offering way off the plate.
00:38:53Well, on the mound, very efficient.
00:38:55Able to produce an outcome, it seems like, within the third or fourth pitch of just about every at-bat.
00:39:02Kicks and deals.
00:39:03There's a strike.
00:39:21And a pitch.
00:39:27Swing and a miss.
00:39:32Three and two now.
00:39:40Fouled off again.
00:39:42And it remains three and two.
00:39:48The wind of the pitch.
00:39:53And there's a foul ball.
00:39:55Eighth pitch of the at-bat coming up.
00:40:06The punch out there.
00:40:08And he's down on strikes for the second time today.
00:40:11Really good battle right there.
00:40:13And that final pitch probably could have gone either way.
00:40:15He was hoping he'd get ball four.
00:40:17Instead, the umpire rings him up for the backwards K.
00:40:25Here's George Springer.
00:40:32Bounce to the left side.
00:40:35On to first.
00:40:36That takes care of Springer.
00:40:38That ends the frame.
00:40:39Home half of the fifth coming up.
00:40:41It's the Astros two and the Tigers one.
00:40:47Welcome back.
00:40:49Now it's going to be Charlie Gerringer.
00:40:54It's good speed at the top of the order here.
00:40:55You want to get it on.
00:40:56See if you can get a stolen base.
00:40:58Maybe get around the bases.
00:41:00And pick up a run.
00:41:02First pitch.
00:41:02Not close.
00:41:10And that one in the air center field.
00:41:13And that is Springer.
00:41:15Brings it in.
00:41:16And there's one down.
00:41:23The bat.
00:41:24Number 19.
00:41:29Next is the Tigers DH.
00:41:31Number 19.
00:41:32On the ground the first.
00:41:44Bagwell takes it to the bag.
00:41:46Home half of the fifth inning.
00:41:47Moving along.
00:41:48Two quick outs.
00:41:49I thought he's doing a nice job of keeping the ball out of the air.
00:41:52Let's the defense work behind him with another ground ball.
00:41:55Good execution.
00:41:56Bill Freehand up now for the Tigers.
00:42:00This guy has turned into a beast.
00:42:02And the first pitch misses for a ball one.
00:42:14Two outs.
00:42:17And that one fouled off.
00:42:19It's a one-to-one.
00:42:30Swings and misses at the pitch off the plate.
00:42:33Clearly it was sitting on a fastball right there.
00:42:35It just ended up out in front of the slider.
00:42:37Hey, you can't fault him for his commitment.
00:42:39Now he's just going to have to battle with two strikes.
00:42:44Stays alive.
00:42:45Slice down the right side.
00:43:07And the righty deals.
00:43:11And a foul ball.
00:43:12He stays alive.
00:43:15And a pitch.
00:43:34Swing and a line drive.
00:43:35Base hit out of the center field.
00:43:37And that keeps the inning going.
00:43:41Right there does a great job of staying in the big part of the field.
00:43:44Man, there are a lot of hits there.
00:43:52And up next for Detroit, Ty Cobb.
00:44:00That one's in there 0-1.
00:44:02And that's outside.
00:44:19Is there a little wrinkle to that?
00:44:21I think there was.
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:23A little slider action.
00:44:24And the pitch swings through that.
00:44:30I have to get one and two.
00:44:40Left-hand hitter waits.
00:44:42Off the mark there.
00:44:43And the count's even at two.
00:44:45Really good take, especially with two strikes.
00:44:47Righty delivers.
00:44:51That one drifts inside.
00:44:53That one drifts inside.
00:44:54And the right-hander deals.
00:45:10Swing and a miss.
00:45:12And that is that.
00:45:13Tigers leave one.
00:45:15And they trail it here 2-1.
00:45:17And welcome back.
00:45:27All right.
00:45:27We go to the top half of inning number six.
00:45:31Digging in.
00:45:32Number 12.
00:45:33Number 12.
00:45:35The pitch.
00:45:38Ball one there.
00:45:39The 1-0.
00:45:47And another ball.
00:46:07Next offering is down low.
00:46:09And a four-pitch walk.
00:46:24That could be a tone setter for the inning.
00:46:26Four straight pitches and the leadoff batter's on base.
00:46:29We'll see if the next guy waits until there's a called strike
00:46:31before he takes the bat off his shoulder.
00:46:34So the Houston lineup turns over.
00:46:36So next up for Houston, Jose Altuve.
00:46:39One for two.
00:46:46Lifted in the air.
00:46:48Right field.
00:46:49Kaline in position.
00:46:51Makes the grab.
00:46:52And there's one down.
00:46:53The batter number seven.
00:46:59Second baseman.
00:47:00Craig.
00:47:01So digging in.
00:47:03Craig Biggio.
00:47:03Craig Biggio.
00:47:04In there for strike one.
00:47:20Some guys are just more confident if they can track that first pitch out of the hand of the pitcher.
00:47:23They don't care if they fall behind 0-1.
00:47:25At the belt and fires.
00:47:37That's out to center field.
00:47:39No trouble here.
00:47:41Puts it away for the out.
00:47:42Yeah, there's two away.
00:47:48The first baseman, number five.
00:47:51Jeff Bagwell.
00:47:54So up next, Jeff Bagwell.
00:47:56He had a big swing back in the fourth.
00:47:58A two-run homer and that helped them get the lead.
00:48:01And what a swing it was, Boog.
00:48:02Poetry in motion.
00:48:04And those are the type that you hardly feel when you connect with the baseball.
00:48:07Just so smooth.
00:48:09A great feeling off the bat.
00:48:18In there and it's 0-1.
00:48:30The pitch.
00:48:31Number 12.
00:48:36The runner at first with two gone.
00:48:47And a count one and two.
00:49:01In the dirt.
00:49:06Now throw to first, but back easily.
00:49:20The next pitch misses.
00:49:22And that's ball three.
00:49:30Here we go.
00:49:31Kicks and fires.
00:49:41He swings and fouls one off.
00:49:56The pitch.
00:49:58So now two on and two outs.
00:50:02His ability to draw walks has been something that's been part of his career since day one.
00:50:09First and second, two down.
00:50:11Luis Gonzalez.
00:50:12Up next for the Astros.
00:50:13And fouled off.
00:50:26If he can get through this one.
00:50:28Put up a zero.
00:50:29This will help in his outings to come.
00:50:31The 0-1.
00:50:41Oh, now this is blasted.
00:50:44Way back there.
00:50:45On its way.
00:50:47Gone.
00:50:47When a guy's got a real hard fastball, you can't overswing.
00:51:12All you've got to do is get the bat head to the spot.
00:51:14If you do, he supplies the power and you'll get to jog around the bases like he did right there.
00:51:19Mickey Lulich gets handed the rock out of the pen.
00:51:23He's being eased into the game here with the bases empty.
00:51:26Well, at this point of the ball game, we're talking about middle innings and a little length out of this arm coming out of the bullpen.
00:51:34We'll see just how many outs he's able to give his skipper.
00:51:37Now it's the switch hitting outfielder.
00:51:40Number 17.
00:51:42Now batting.
00:51:44Number 17.
00:51:45First pitch and he just misses.
00:52:02That one missing inside.
00:52:07And the pitch.
00:52:13Swung on.
00:52:14Belted.
00:52:15That one's got a chance.
00:52:18Pulls it in on the warning track.
00:52:21But the big blow of the inning comes right here.
00:52:24A three-run homer.
00:52:26It's now 5-1.
00:52:28Back here at the ballpark.
00:52:37John Shopey with Chris Singleton in the booth.
00:52:39And leading off the bottom of the sixth.
00:52:41Sam Crawford.
00:52:42The left fielder.
00:52:44Sam Crawford.
00:52:46Richard back to work.
00:53:00And there's the strike.
00:53:01And it really looks like these hitters have been in between with their timing today.
00:53:05Good fastball.
00:53:06Excellent slider.
00:53:07But they've not been able to commit to one velocity and stay there.
00:53:11Next pitch inside.
00:53:18Yeah.
00:53:19The count one and two.
00:53:22And now it's one and two.
00:53:25That one ran inside.
00:53:27Almost got him.
00:53:28Next pitch is outside.
00:53:40He should get a pretty good pitch to hit here with three-hole hitter coming up if he's walked.
00:53:48Right-hander kicks deals.
00:53:52Swing and a miss.
00:53:53Struck him out.
00:53:54And that's the first out.
00:53:56He came out of his mechanics there.
00:53:58Typically likes to shoot the ball the other way.
00:54:00But that time, a little anxious.
00:54:03Al Kalon.
00:54:10And now the right fielder, Al Kalon.
00:54:17In the air.
00:54:18Pretty deep out to center field.
00:54:21Springer there makes the catch.
00:54:23Two down.
00:54:26Look at that.
00:54:30Number seven.
00:54:35Two outs.
00:54:36Bases empty.
00:54:37And here's the first baseman.
00:54:39Number seven.
00:54:47First pitch doesn't find the zone.
00:54:49And here it comes.
00:54:55And there's the strike.
00:55:17Here comes the pitch.
00:55:28Good eye on that spot.
00:55:29Fouls one away.
00:55:44And now three and two.
00:55:45Out towards right center field.
00:56:02And George makes the grab.
00:56:05Three up, three down for Detroit.
00:56:06They're down 5-1.
00:56:07Back at Comerica Park.
00:56:20New inning getting started.
00:56:21And now it's switch hitting third baseman Ken Caminiti.
00:56:24Ken Caminiti.
00:56:25The wide to kick the pitch.
00:56:38And that one just misses a ball and no strikes.
00:56:42The pitch.
00:56:48And a foul ball.
00:56:49And a foul ball.
00:56:50Oh, the ground to third.
00:57:06Sends it to first.
00:57:07And they get the leadoff hitter in the seventh.
00:57:09Now batting shortstop.
00:57:13Carlos Correa.
00:57:16Here's Carlos Correa.
00:57:18And that's in there for strike one.
00:57:31Oh, one's the count.
00:57:35And now the lefty.
00:57:37And now one and two.
00:57:59Swing and a miss.
00:58:00And he is down on strikes for the third straight at bat.
00:58:04They've had a great plan of attack for him tonight.
00:58:06I mean, finding all the holes in his swing and his approach.
00:58:09Just frustrating for him up there.
00:58:11You strike out a guy three times in a game.
00:58:13I think that guy's got to go back and really study some video with his hitting coach.
00:58:17Figure out how they're beating him.
00:58:19Make this adjustment really quick.
00:58:20Because word will get around the league in a hurry.
00:58:23And the batter is George Springer.
00:58:25First offering.
00:58:26Misses the mark.
00:58:36Two down.
00:58:38Nobody on.
00:58:41That's down and in.
00:58:47And he deals.
00:58:52Now this is in the air down the line.
00:58:54Crawford settles underneath it.
00:58:56He makes the grab.
00:58:57And that'll do it.
00:59:00Astros go down.
00:59:01One, two, three.
00:59:02They're up 5-1.
00:59:04Seventh inning stretch.
00:59:05Back here in Detroit.
00:59:15And the batter will be the shortstop.
00:59:18The Tigers in striking distance but have some work to do.
00:59:21Boog, it starts with a laid off man.
00:59:23Need a good at bat out of him right here.
00:59:27Fly ball down the line.
00:59:29And that should be extra bases.
00:59:31Around first and hustling for second.
00:59:34They're still chasing it as he rounds second.
00:59:38And he's got a lead off triple.
00:59:42First pitch swinging.
00:59:43Went up there with a plan to be aggressive.
00:59:45When you pop a ball up like that, you don't expect it to get you a knock too often.
00:59:49But right there, somehow he got it to drop in behind first base.
00:59:53And that's where no one could get to it.
00:59:54And you can feel this crowd waking up a bit here.
00:59:57As the guys are starting to make some noise with their bats.
01:00:00Next to hit, number 21.
01:00:03Number 21.
01:00:06First offering and it just misses.
01:00:08If you're going to get something going, this is the time to do it.
01:00:11You get the laid off man on.
01:00:12Everybody's got to look over the shoulder and say,
01:00:14I'm just going to keep the line moving.
01:00:16Don't try to do too much.
01:00:23And a 1-0.
01:00:24Foul ball.
01:00:37And a pitch.
01:00:40And that's outside.
01:00:41Activity in the bullpen for Houston.
01:00:45Frambois Valdez.
01:00:46The lefty looks to be getting himself ready.
01:00:48The 2-1.
01:01:02Lined.
01:01:02And that's a base hit.
01:01:04In comes the run from third.
01:01:06It's 5-2.
01:01:08And in its second with an RBI double.
01:01:11With that fastball, even though it's high velocity, you've got to live on the outer edges.
01:01:15When it's right on a tee, right down the middle, professional hitters are not going to have a problem turning it around.
01:01:21Now at the plate, Charlie Gerringer.
01:01:33The batter, number two, second baseman, Charlie Gerringer.
01:01:39And first offering is fouled off.
01:01:56Left-hand batter waits.
01:01:59Swing and a foul back.
01:02:00That's out of play.
01:02:01Going two now.
01:02:15And there's a ball.
01:02:16Rarely will you see a pitcher just to waste a pitch like that.
01:02:19The batter wasn't even tempted to swing.
01:02:21Every pitch needs to have a purpose so that it can set up a following pitch to help you get that out.
01:02:31And that one almost got him.
01:02:46The pitch.
01:02:48Slap the other way.
01:02:49Foul.
01:03:01That one lifted to left.
01:03:07Gonzalez makes the grab.
01:03:09One down.
01:03:14Now batter.
01:03:15Number 19.
01:03:22Next to the plate is the Tigers' DH.
01:03:24Number 19.
01:03:26Ziggy, he's got a history of coming through in the big spots.
01:03:29I know I like to talk about, I'm not sure whether clutch actually exists.
01:03:33But you look at the numbers, and this guy always seems to deliver in those spots.
01:03:39Number 21.
01:03:41The runner at second with one away.
01:03:48Late on that fastball.
01:03:50Well, I think it's the ability to assess the situation, understanding what the pitcher has,
01:03:55what he's trying to get people out on, and then being able to use the entire field.
01:03:59Next offering misses.
01:04:01Now two balls and a strike.
01:04:11Runner leads away at second.
01:04:14Lifted in the air right center field.
01:04:16Springer on the move.
01:04:18In one, hops off the wall.
01:04:20Should be extra bases.
01:04:22Cut off.
01:04:23Throw to third.
01:04:24And he's in there.
01:04:26As a run scores on the play.
01:04:28Well, that was one of those high percentage advantage counts where batting averages are just so much higher.
01:04:33Man, I love the hustle out of the box right there to make that triple happen.
01:04:37And just an absolute laser into the opposite field gap.
01:04:40He was digging hard the entire way.
01:04:43Now a huge at-bat in this game coming up.
01:04:45One down.
01:04:48And next to hit for Detroit, Bill Freehand.
01:04:57First pitch and he just misses.
01:05:00Still only one out here in the inning.
01:05:16And now two and nothing.
01:05:18In the infield at the corners.
01:05:20Don't be surprised to see them come home first.
01:05:23And prevent that run from scoring.
01:05:26And a foul ball.
01:05:28Makes the count two and a one.
01:05:30And a foul ball.
01:05:58And a sling and a miss.
01:06:00Huge strikeout there.
01:06:02Valboog, it becomes pretty difficult as a teammate when a guy's struggling like this.
01:06:06You don't know if you want to go up and tell him to keep swinging it.
01:06:08Or if you want to give him his space.
01:06:10What exactly he needs.
01:06:12But right now, it's clearly a struggle for him.
01:06:14And you're just hoping that somehow, someway, it'll click.
01:06:17And he can get out of this as quickly as possible.
01:06:20Tide Cobb up now for the Tigers.
01:06:27In the air right field.
01:06:29Hilt number 17.
01:06:31Under it.
01:06:32Makes the grab.
01:06:32And that's the inning.
01:06:36We look ahead to inning number eight.
01:06:38It's the Astros five and the Tigers three.
01:06:41Welcome back.
01:06:51We're at the top of the eighth.
01:06:52And here's the catcher.
01:06:53Number 12.
01:06:54Leading off for the Astros.
01:06:55The catcher.
01:06:57Number 12.
01:06:58The wind of the pitch.
01:07:04In there at the knees.
01:07:06That strike won.
01:07:08Tigers bullpen with some action.
01:07:10A right-hander appears to be getting loose.
01:07:12Late swing.
01:07:23Fouled off.
01:07:24High fly ball down the left field line.
01:07:40Crawford puts the squeeze on that one.
01:07:42And a quick out number one.
01:07:44Just pulled off of it a little bit right there.
01:07:46That front shoulder coming open instead of staying closed.
01:07:50If he does that, he's going to be able to go up the middle the other way with some authority.
01:07:54Instead of a fly out to left.
01:07:55Here's the former MVP, Jose Altuve.
01:08:20Next offering is down low.
01:08:23Ball one.
01:08:25Ball one.
01:08:26Kick.
01:08:27San Dios.
01:08:30Just missed.
01:08:36The wind to kick the 2-0.
01:08:41At this point in the game, you cannot issue free passes.
01:08:45He's going to have to challenge this hitter.
01:08:47Hitter's got to be ready to swing it.
01:08:513-0 down.
01:08:55Popped up to the left.
01:08:57Into foul ground.
01:09:00Pulls it in for the out.
01:09:05Now batting.
01:09:06Second baseman.
01:09:08Craig Biggio.
01:09:10Two outs.
01:09:14Space is empty.
01:09:15And next to hit for Houston, Craig Biggio.
01:09:17And the first pitch misses for ball one.
01:09:31There's a strike.
01:09:44There's a strike.
01:09:48There's a strike.
01:09:50the next offering misses and it's two-and-one
01:10:13called strike right there
01:10:20next pitch is outside
01:10:38a down on strikes he goes third out nothing doing there for Houston as they
01:10:45hang on to their 5-3 lead
01:10:53here's a new pitcher from the pen number 54 and this guy can bring it velocity
01:10:59wise
01:11:06ready for the bottom of the eighth now the number two hitter Sam Crawford
01:11:14the pitch
01:11:21and takes low for ball one
01:11:25swing and a miss as he was late it might be time to choke up a little bit get that front foot down early maybe even just spread out he's really late right now
01:11:48next pitch misses two and one
01:11:55next pitch misses two and one
01:12:02right

01:12:13the two on his high
01:12:15left hand hitter waits fouled off he was late
01:12:32swing and a miss struck him out and that's one away as the leadoff man is out in the eighth
01:12:51though we see it a lot more these days than we ever did when I played but a slider in the 90s still catches your attention
01:12:58even if you're sitting on the pitch good luck recognizing that tight spin and adjusting to the late break
01:13:03now it's the right fielder Al Kalon this guy is one of the best athletes in the sport
01:13:16first pitch and that's in for a strike
01:13:20and the righty deals just missed
01:13:35look like it was a little bit up you get to this part of the order
01:13:49yeah there's some pop there but more likely there's some base hits so very important to be patient let the pitcher walk you if he will
01:14:02and a pitch
01:14:04got him
01:14:05two away
01:14:09very strong coming out of the pen so far as he punches out the first two batters he's faced in this one getting straight to work man
01:14:16it's talked about a lot but relievers are just so electric these days these aren't fun at bats if you're a hitter
01:14:23I'm so glad I'm retired
01:14:25number seven stands in but two away as he takes a ball
01:14:40next offering upstairs good purpose pitch right there trying to tease him get him to raise his sights pop something up and make it an easy out

01:16:16and ball one
01:16:26the lefty the 1-0
01:16:29just missed
01:16:312-0 count to a guy like this at the plate
01:16:34you've got to throw a pitcher's pitch
01:16:35don't just try to get a strike
01:16:36he could make you pay
01:16:43hard ground ball base now
01:16:50well they call that an advantage count for a reason
01:16:52you're so much more likely to get something you can handle
01:16:55not much to this one other than just a willingness to go the other way
01:16:58and put the ball in play
01:16:59that's a team at bat right there
01:17:00nice job of staying back and letting the ball get deep
01:17:03here's some real power at the plate
01:17:05Luis Gonzalez
01:17:06he's been a difference maker in this one with what he did back in the sixth
01:17:10no doubt Boog a huge three-run homer and it's one of the key moments in this game
01:17:14first offering misses badly for ball one Bagwell gets his lead at first with nobody out
01:17:21next pitch not close up high
01:17:24when you get ahead in the count there's no doubt that the success rate goes down
01:17:28next pitch not close up high
01:17:34when you get ahead in the count there's no doubt that the success rate goes down
01:17:38and that's what he's been doing it's made a big impact for him in recent games
01:17:55at the belt and fires and that one lifted in the air center field
01:18:07squeezes it and there's one down
01:18:14the bat number 17

01:18:51and the pitch
01:18:56missed inside with the curve
01:19:20and a ball and two strikes he swings and drives one out to deep left field this
01:19:26one's got a chance and that ball is gone
01:19:48for a pitcher the odds are in your favor if you keep that breaking ball down that
01:19:52time he got punished for it hitter just did a really good job of staying within himself
01:19:56and getting the barrel to the baseball
01:19:59now batting third baseman

01:21:40they clearly got a great plan for how to deal with this guy right now
01:21:47so two down now and here is Carlos Correa
01:21:51he's turned into one of the best shortstops in the game
01:21:54and first offering is fouled off
