00:00Max Muncy, a walk-off sack fly RBI.
00:03Shohei Ohtani scoring the game-winning run.
00:05A walk-off winner for the Dodgers.
00:08They snapped that four-game slide with a 4-3 win over Arizona.
00:12Yeah, it's a good win, too, because once you get to extra innings,
00:15you figure that you can give each team a run,
00:17but you get the two-run shot in the top of the 10th inning.
00:19Now you're saying to yourself, like, uh-oh,
00:21now we've got to score more runs than that just to even get it to the next inning.
00:24Didn't need that.
00:25Three runs in the bottom of the 10th inning and a much-needed victory for them.
00:29Ohtani, not great.
00:30One for four.
00:30Mookie Betts, not great.
00:31One for five.
00:32We saw Freddie Freeman with two hits.
00:33And by the way, the only guy with multiple hits in that lineup
00:36was Freddie Freeman yesterday here.
00:38So struggling a little bit at the plate,
00:40but still picking up a victory against a divisional opponent.
00:42You'll take that.
00:43Gabriel Moreno, by the way, a solo shot in the ninth to force extra innings
00:48because Yoshi Yamamoto was sensational yesterday.
00:51You saw his reaction.
00:52Seven innings of shutout work, only allowing a single base knock,
00:56took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and did strike out nine.
01:01The ERA now for Yamamoto after he gave up eight total earned runs in his last two starts,
01:06entering yesterday's outing against the Diamondbacks.
01:08A 1-8-6 ERA all season long for Yamamoto.
01:14A former Dodger hurdler, Walker Buehler, on the bump yesterday in Boston for the Red Sox.
01:20His first start since the end of April.
01:22Of course, injuries have been a story for Buehler the last two and a half, three seasons in the bigs.
01:27Pitching pretty well against the New York Mets.
01:30He was ejected after getting into it with the home plate up,
01:34saying that Francisco Lindor leaned into a pitch that hit him.
01:37Alex Cora goes out there to have his pitchers back.
01:41He gets ejected as well.
01:43And despite all of that, the Red Sox still blank the Amazons.
01:47They have taken both of the opening two games in this series.
01:512-0 winner for Boston yesterday at Fenway.
01:54Yeah, where, oh, where has that Mets offense gone at this point?
01:58You take a look at Lindor, got a base hit.
01:59Soto got a base hit.
02:00Alonzo 0-4, Nimmo 0-4, just not a good look right now.
02:03But also, the key part of this game, too, like Walker Buehler gets tossed after two and a third innings pitched here.
02:08Great job by the Boston bullpen to hold down the fort, not even allow a single run to the New York Mets.
02:13But also, this is, like, it's a unique sport here, and it doesn't happen anywhere else.
02:18Like, can you imagine a hockey referee, Ben?
02:22You see the red line.
02:24They take away the red line on the goal line.
02:25And it's up to the referee if he thinks the puck went into the net.
02:28And, ah, it's human element.
02:29Yeah, the puck might have went across, but I'm going to stick with my call.
02:32Nonsense.
02:33You go to replay and you figure that out.
02:34In the NBA, can you imagine, Ben, the three-point line being taken away where Ruff goes, like, you know what?
02:40My three-point line is different than Jabby's three-point line or whoever else is reffing out here.
02:44It's like, that doesn't make any sense.
02:46Why in Major League Baseball?
02:47Can you throw a pitch right down the middle?
02:48I'm just like, yeah, I might have missed it or not.
02:50Like, no, it's a strike.
02:51Like, it could change the plate appearance.
02:52It could change the inning.
02:53It could change the game.
02:54You have the technology to make a strike zone exactly what it's supposed to be.
02:58And yet they refuse to do that.
03:00And that's why Walker Bueller was so upset.
03:02Like, we all know it was a strike.
03:04You can't have the third base guy come in or the second base guy like, hey, Tom, behind the plate.
03:08It was a strike.
03:09Ah, my bad.
03:10One and one, not oh and two.
03:11But instead, you take your mask off as an umpire, scream back at the pitcher, and eject the pitcher because your call was so bad.
03:18That's not the way it's supposed to work in sports, man.
03:20Baseball is the only sport that does that, where you have a strike zone that is clearly defined, but everybody has a different strike zone.
03:27It's madness, man.
03:28It is.
03:28I didn't know that Donnie right side was a fan of robot umps in the automatic strike zone.
03:33Immediately.
03:34But here, all right, okay, maybe Spencer Strider could have used an automatic strike zone yesterday in his first start in more than a month, just his second start of the year, this time returning from a hamstring injury, goes four and a third, gives up four earned runs, and a loss against the Washington Nationals.
03:52Not great news for the Braves, but of course, big news to have Strider back and healthy.
03:56Yeah, he's back, but that's still a bad loss at that point right now.
03:59You're taking a look at a team that's sort of in the mix, saying, hey, we can win this division.
04:03We're going to get healthy eventually.
04:05You expect Strider to come back.
04:06I don't care if he's coming back on injury or not.
04:08The expectations are always what?
04:09Seven innings, pitch, one earned run, and 10 Ks.
04:11We're just not getting that back.
04:13I'm sure he'll find his footing, but right now, it doesn't look good for the Braves.
04:16It's just not good.
