00:01Dave Stewart who was the winning
00:02pitcher in game one working eight
00:04innings the Red Sox had base
00:05runners on in five of those innings
00:07and a guy who wants the ball kind
00:09of a you know a throwback every
00:11fourth day three days rest is all
00:13Stewart needs.
00:14Yeah he's had a couple of starts
00:15on three days rest one time he
00:17went eleven innings and beat
00:18Seattle and went into the ninth
00:20inning of the other one so he
00:21loves as most pitchers years ago
00:23did he loves working on the fourth
00:25day.
00:26Dave Stewart's a throwback for
00:27another reason you look at your
00:28pitchers like Gibson and
00:30Marischal and some of the greats
00:33they they were vulnerable early in
00:35the ball game but once they got
00:36rolling through the middle part
00:37Giants the man who is right now in
00:39the road two down and Wade Boggs
00:41the batter five for twelve has
00:45been the most productive hitter
00:46for the Red Sox in this series if
00:48you want to call getting three
00:49runs in three games productive
00:51he takes a fastball for a strike
00:53he has a homer against Stewart and
00:55a double in the series.
00:58It's just outside one and one
01:00Stewart with a twenty two and
01:01eleven year.
01:05And in his personal matchup with
01:06Clemens seven and one lifetime
01:08fouled off the mask of Terry
01:09Steinbach and the count is one
01:10and two.
01:11And if he were to win today's
01:12game he would have five
01:13victories in league
01:15championship series play and
01:16that would be a record.
01:18And if he were to win today's
01:19game he would have five
01:21victories in league
01:22championship series play and
01:23that would be a record.
01:24He was four and own postseason
01:26and four starts.
01:31Check swing but a ground ball in
01:32the right field.
01:33Sort of a half swing and Wade
01:34box has his sixth hit of the
01:35series a two out base hit.
01:37Well this is a great example of a
01:47pitch down and in.
01:48Down and in from a right hand
01:49pitcher to a left hand hitter is
01:50the easiest pitch to get the
01:52barrel of the bat on.
01:53Look how Boggs doesn't take a
01:54hard swing but it's so easy to
01:55drop the barrel on that pitch.
01:56That's why you pitch guys high
01:57and tight low and away you don't
01:58pitch him down and in.
01:59He just kind of golfs that into
02:00right.
02:01Herman Marquez.
02:02And concerning the A's who are
02:03leading three nothing as we
02:04look at Roger Clemens getting
02:05set it's been seventy one years
02:07since the team won a postseason
02:08series without hitting a home
02:09run.
02:10They and they won.
02:11Line drive basic to right field.
02:12Bernanski cuts it off.
02:13And Ricky Henderson is on board
02:14with his fifth hit of the
02:15series.
02:16And they won.
02:17They and they won.
02:18Line drive basic to right field.
02:20Bernanski cuts it off.
02:21And Ricky Henderson is on board
02:22with his fifth hit of the
02:23sixth hit.
02:24Here's Dave Henderson who
02:27returned to action.
02:28Remember he had the knee
02:29surgery and came back in
02:30August.
02:33Round ball hit to the right side.
02:35Jody Reed over Rivera for one.
02:37The throw the first and the
02:38double play turned by the Red
02:40Sox.
02:42And there are two down.
02:43Three to pitch.
02:45Here's Dwight Evans.
02:51He has one of the Red Sox
02:52extra base.
02:53In the air to right center field.
02:56And it's caught by Willie Randolph.
03:00Fine play by Randolph.
03:02The veteran is doing it in the
03:03field as well as at bat.
03:04And there's two away.
03:05And the A's continue to make all
03:06the plays in this series.
03:10Third ball is in for strike three.
03:11First strike out of the game for
03:12Stewart.
03:13One two three inning.
03:14And in the middle of the second
03:15inning.
03:16No score.
03:17No score is 30 times at bat
03:18against Roger Clemens career
03:20wise.
03:21And you see how many times he has
03:22struck out.
03:23Those that saw game one know the
03:24reason.
03:25Clemens thought it was.
03:26But the Roger Clemens don't blame
03:27him for ducking.
03:28Round ball hit to the hole.
03:29A throw to third base.
03:30The tag is made but the run is
03:31going to score.
03:32As Steinbach is retired.
03:33Connie Lansford comes in on
03:36McGuire's.
03:37Fielder's choice ground ball.
03:38And it's one to nothing eight.
03:39First time.
03:40He scores first in this series.
03:42Well Mark McGuire gets a ball
03:43down to put the bat on it.
03:44Rivera with a heads up play here.
03:45I'm not sure if you are
03:46the first time he has scored
03:47first in this series.
03:48Mark McGuire gets a ball down
03:49to put the bat on it.
03:50Rivera with a heads up play
03:51here.
03:52I've never seen the other
03:53game.
03:54I've never seen it.
03:55He's never seen it.
03:56I've never seen it.
03:57I've never seen it.
03:58I've never seen it.
03:59I've never seen it.
04:00Vera with a heads up play here.
04:01Evidently the contact and run
04:03immediately play was on to the
04:05A's because Steinbach second.
04:07And here is Mike Gallego who is
04:09three for seven in the series.
04:14A's with runners on first and
04:15second that's McGuire at second
04:17Randolph at first.
04:20And Terry Cooney arguing with
04:24Tony Pena and Joe Morgan gets
04:26into the fray now.
04:27And you don't often see a
04:32manager get thrown in a playoff
04:33or a series.
04:34Weaver has a weaver in the past.
04:39I thought that possibly it was a
04:41bop call and Cooney came from
04:42behind home plate.
04:44I mean Morgan is livid and I'm
04:46wondering whether he's ejected
04:48Clemens first of all the scouting
04:50report on the umpires and this
04:52is a rotation system.
04:53You'll get the six top rated
04:55but Terry Cooney is one if you
04:57ask managers and players has a
04:59very short fuse tends to get
05:01upset a little easily.
05:02And this is an example of it.
05:07Well could you believe it.
05:08I mean you say they just threw
05:11they just threw something out
05:13towards Vic Voltaggio.
05:17Well Clemens rule be careful.
05:20Clemens is coming after Cooney
05:21because I think he just realized
05:23Cooney has ejected him.
05:25Obviously Clemens was shouting
05:27some things down at Cooney about
05:29the questionable balls and
05:30strikes.
05:31I got to tell you even though
05:32you're not allowed to do that in
05:33a game like this you don't throw
05:35out a pitcher like this.
05:36You know umpires used to be like
05:38your grandfather.
05:39They walk away.
05:40They let you have a say and let
05:42you get it out of your system.
05:43But now they're like the spoiled
05:44little kid down in the corner of the
05:46block.
05:46You know they get cocky and
05:47arrogant.
05:48And this is an example of a Red
05:50Sox coach and player got tangled
05:52up in the dugout now.
06:00Question is the Terry Cooney
06:01throw out Roger Clemens.
06:04I can't imagine it wasn't Roger
06:06Clemens if it was somebody else
06:07Clemens wouldn't be the guy
06:09trying to get at him.
06:10I mean it's absolutely absurd to
06:12throw a guy out in a situation
06:14like this a game of this magnitude.
06:18That could be the only thing that
06:20has the Red Sox acting like that
06:21throwing things from the dugout
06:23and Morgan and Clemens trying to
06:26go after the umpire.
06:27Now I saw Clemens go to his mouth
06:29and I'm wondering whether maybe the
06:32initial call was that Cooney said
06:34Clemens went to his mouth or
06:37walked or something in regard to
06:38that.
06:41Doubt they would have this much of an
06:43argument over something that might
06:45have been going to get the
06:47foul.
06:50Tony LaRosa just looks on as the
06:52Red Sox have exploded.
06:53They have gone out of control.
06:57Roger Clemens, Morgan, and the
06:59dugout.
07:06John Hirschbeck, the umpire in
07:08your picture along with Tony Payne
07:10trying to calm Roger down.
07:11He went up with the strike and
07:13balls on the entire game and
07:14then he had a couple of comments
07:15for the umpire and all of a
07:17sudden he was just heave out of
07:18the game would become the man on
07:20the center stage and not the
07:22player not the pitcher in a
07:24situation like this and Roger
07:25Clemens whether you're an ace
07:27fan or a Red Sox fan I think the
07:28A's feel bad Bolton faced one
07:34batter in the first game of the
07:35series fly ball center field deep
07:42going way back and over the head
07:44center fielder Burks ball bounds
07:47around McGuire scores here comes
07:50Randolph and in its second with a
07:51two run double is Mike Gallego and
07:54it is now a three to nothing lead
07:58one Anderson single was out on a
08:03double play in the first inning.
08:04So it's three to nothing in favor
08:06of the A's they've jumped on top
08:07of Clemens and now Tom Bolton.
08:10Both of those runs are charged to
08:12Roger Clemens holds up on the
08:14curve they appealed to Vic
08:15Voltaggio and it's a ball one and
08:17one a lot of pressure unexpected
08:23pressure on Bolton who was ten and
08:24five with the Red Sox in 16
08:27starts we see Roger Clemens behind
08:31manager Joe Morgan wishes he had
08:33a towel over his mouth when he was
08:34on the mound and now Terry Cooney
08:39explaining something new Ricky
08:42Henderson and Rene Latchman the
08:45third base coach comes in what's
08:48going on anyway.
08:48Richie Garcia who is down on third
08:53base may have to get involved here
08:54and restore order he's the umpire
08:56in this group that can take
08:57charge things back in order one
09:07ball one strike is the count and
09:10a fastball is away two and one.
09:13So now you've got Bolton
09:14staring and once a game gets a
09:16little bit out of control early
09:18for a home plate umpire can make
09:20it for a very long afternoon Joe
09:24Morgan's going to come out to the
09:25mound walking faster than usual and
09:27this is a little ploy he's going
09:29to wait till Terry Cooney gets to
09:31the mound and I think you may see
09:32Joe Morgan explode and every Red
09:37Sox infielder will join the
09:39conference at the mound.
09:40Sox is walking in now Tony doesn't
09:43want to go out there he's waiting
09:45he's going to wait till he gets
09:46in Joe might plant a few tomatoes
09:50out there while he's waiting.
09:52Well here comes Tony.
09:54This ought to be interesting.
10:05Oh a silent treatment.
10:07He took an outside turn on Cooney
10:10and Morgan goes back into the
10:12dugout Roger Clemens who started
10:19with three days rest a lot of
10:21words about whether that was the
10:23smart move or not and he gets
10:24thrown out for arguing with Terry
10:27Cooney in the second inning.
10:28There's Mike Gallego who knocked
10:30in two runs with a double
10:32fouled at the plate by Henderson
10:33and the count is two balls and two
10:34strikes.
10:37Three runs are in here in the
10:40second inning and the A's who
10:41need one win to wrap up the
10:43American League pennant are in
10:45front three to nothing.
10:45the A's and the Red Sox are in
10:47the right hander the A's have
10:48exactly what they like they have
10:49eight right handed batters and
10:50only Harold Baines swinging from
10:51the left side.
10:52The key right now for the A's and
10:53the Red Sox are in the right
10:54hander.
10:55the A's and the Red Sox is to get
10:57your focus and your concentration
10:58back on the game.
10:58See really clapping his hands
10:59trying to get the A's in because
11:00of what's happened.
11:02Everything has gotten so quiet.
11:03The Red Sox is to get your focus
11:04and your concentration back on
11:06the game.
11:06See really clapping his hands
11:07trying to get the A's in because
11:08of what's happened.
11:09Everything has gotten so quiet to
11:10lose your train of thought.
11:16Spikes him out on a curve ball
11:18and that'll do it.
11:19Between innings Rich Garcia the
11:20third base umpire conferring with
11:22American League president Dr.
11:23Anfield.
11:23Speaker 1 of the first half of
11:24the A's and the Red Sox are
11:25going to have eight right handed
11:27batters and only Harold Baines
11:28swinging from the left side.
11:29The key right now for the A's and
11:30the Red Sox is to get your focus
11:31and your concentration back on the
11:33game so you're really clapping his
11:34hands trying to get the A's in
11:35because of what's happened.
11:37Everything has gotten so quiet.
11:38President Dr. Bobby Brown you can
11:40almost see Richie gesturing with
11:42his hands and Dr. Brown's
11:43obviously interested in why did
11:45Clemens get ejected.
11:48Inning number three ball one.
11:55He's he's definitely been sigh
11:57steady.
12:00Always a sigh and a pop up going
12:03out as Diego and short left
12:06field makes the catch in the one
12:07two three inning rearing circus in
12:09that second inning over at the
12:10Red Sox dugout they had thrown
12:12those Gatorade baskets out now
12:14Dick Baradino the coach pulling
12:16Marty Barrett into the dugout
12:17Barrett also was ejected from the
12:19game along.
12:20And if you go to the last of the
12:21third can say go has to be
12:24looking at a possibility to break
12:26out of it.
12:27And sox last season brought him up he
12:31was 0 and 4 and then sent back to
12:32triple A in there for a called
12:35strike three and Canseco goes down
12:38and there are two out.
12:44Baines fouled out to Wade Boggs his
12:46first time up.
12:47And he went around strike three.
12:54So Bolton has struck out three of
12:57the five batters he's faced and we
12:59have completed three in Zinok
13:01the side bringing Hilliard to the
13:04view is have been on the thing I
13:06think common sense you said at
13:07first this was not good you're
13:09making them look bad you can do it
13:10in a subtle way.
13:12Boggs grounds it up the middle and
13:14he's on with a base hit with one
13:16out in the fourth inning.
13:18Jody Reed had fly to Canseco and
13:20right field to start the fourth.
13:23Rolling tonight.
13:24Advanced on an error that was
13:26thrown out.
13:26There's a fastball drilled into
13:31center field for a base hit
13:33Steinbach now with five hits in
13:35this series.
13:37Lansford leads with six and Terry
13:40is two for two.
13:41Now Willie Randolph was the last
13:44batter that Roger Clemens faced.
13:48He's coming up with runners at
13:50first and second.
13:52Great just got up to begin to
13:53toss.
13:54I would not think that Morgan
13:56is going to make a move here
13:57and of course once he returns to
13:59the dugout he's got to allow
14:00Bolton to face Randolph.
14:02So I think more than anything
14:03just buying a little extra time
14:05and quite honestly like a lot of
14:07us and a lot of fans here today
14:10you're burning up a lot of
14:11frustration a lot of energy
14:13because of what happened by
14:15that man's decision Terry
14:16Cooney and Joe has paraded back
14:17and forth a couple of times.
14:19Let's see Morgan is going to
14:21avoid Cooney.
14:23Rich Garcia enters the picture.
14:26The A's lead at three to nothing
14:30and this game has a long.
14:32You mentioned the A's tried to
14:33get Harold Baines earlier.
14:34They also tried to get Willie
14:36Randolph a little earlier.
14:39Before he signed with the
14:40Dodgers Sandy Alderson.
14:44He's been in there.
14:44Round ball.
14:45Box will step on third for one
14:47and the Red Sox turn their second
14:50double play of the ball game.
14:52And after four complete it's
14:53three to nothing Oakland third.
14:56I'm on Marquez who bought Tuckett.
14:57In fact many thought that he
14:58would be here playing for the
14:59Red Sox in September he's not.
15:01But I think he'll be there next
15:02year.
15:03Yeah.
15:03Fastball line to left field.
15:05Ricky Henderson going back.
15:06Takes the catch.
15:06He made a fine running play going
15:08the other way yesterday.
15:09No runs no hits one left a fine
15:12defensive inning for the A's
15:13and it's three to nothing in the
15:14middle of the fifth.
15:15These Rockies will all four and
15:18Henderson's aboard with one out
15:19here in the fifth inning.
15:20It's an argument baseball fans
15:22love to get involved in but I
15:23would say the best leadoff man
15:25in baseball history Ricky
15:26Henderson when you take into
15:27account all the things he can
15:28do.
15:29Joe Morgan's coming out to the
15:30mound and Jeff Gray already
15:32running in from the bullpen and
15:34Bolton on short notice.
15:35And Bolton on short notice.
15:37He's a defensive inning for the
15:38A's and it's three to nothing
15:39in the middle of the fifth.
15:40These Rockies will all four and
15:42Henderson's aboard with one out
15:43here in the fifth inning.
15:44It's an argument baseball fans
15:45love to get involved in but I
15:46would say the best leadoff man
15:47in baseball history Ricky
15:48Henderson when you take into
15:49short notice has done a fine
15:51job the A's lead at three to
15:53nothing.
15:54But we're looking at Jeff Gray
15:57the third pitcher of the game
15:58for the Boston Red Sox and we'll
16:01return to eye on these clear
16:02bright days.
16:03Here's can say go he does have
16:05two hits in the series but none
16:06today he's over.
16:08There goes Ricky the pitch is
16:11taken for a ball to throw the
16:13second and in with a stolen
16:14bases Henderson.
16:19We're going to get another
16:20argument and Fielder would win.
16:24Swing and a miss.
16:28Strike three.
16:29Here's Fuentes who sing like
16:30Darth Gray.
16:44Fly ball down the left field line
16:48Mike Gallego gives way to Ricky
16:50Henderson who makes the catch for
16:52the second out.
16:53I think the one opportunity the
16:54Red Sox had as far as pitching
16:55matchups was yesterday's game
16:56when Mike Moore came in with a
16:57little shaky confidence
16:58perhaps in a losing record
16:59going against Boddicker one of
17:00the Red Sox best and Boddicker
17:02has walked and back to Oakland
17:03Jose Canseco has left the game
17:04he's got tendinitis and a badly
17:05bruised right in between his
17:06index finger and his second
17:07finger on his right hand can't
17:08grip the bat can't throw the
17:09ball he's not going to return
17:10today says he can use some time
17:11off told me he will be F gray
17:13he's over to same with canseco
17:16line drive to the opposite field
17:18and he'll drop the ball to the
17:19ball.
17:20He's not going to return today
17:21says he can use some time off
17:22told me he will be F gray he's
17:23over to same with canseco line
17:27drive to the opposite field and
17:28it'll drop in front of Greenwell
17:30who was playing deep for Baines
17:31in the opposite field and that
17:35is hit number six for the A's.
17:38What great plate coverage watch
17:39Harold Baines go out and extend
17:41the bat and take a pitch that's
17:42pretty well on the inside
17:43outside corner.
17:45And you mentioned Greenwell
17:46playing a little deep
17:47respecting Baines power and as
17:49a result of that depth that's
17:50balls a base hit.
17:58Time is called by the first base
18:00umpire Vic Voltaggio and Baines
18:05is going to go out and we're
18:06going to have a pinch runner.
18:08Willie McGee going to run for
18:10Baines is that impressive or
18:14what you take out Harold Baines
18:16and you pinch run with a former
18:18most valuable player in the
18:19National League batting
18:20champion who could also steal a
18:21base and you lose your starting
18:26shortstop and you wind up by
18:28having to play Willie Randolph in
18:29the infield got a run batted in
18:31in the second inning and then
18:32walked rounded to box at third
18:51and the inning is over and the
18:53A strand McGee a third and after
18:55six complete it's three to nothing
18:57athletics.
18:58Jose Alvarez a good pitcher down
18:59the beginning the A's have had a
19:01couple of big innings in this
19:02series.
19:03They've had a couple of big
19:04innings in their pitching staff
19:06better than any staff in
19:07baseball at not allowing big
19:09innings broken back to third
19:12base Lansford side arms and a
19:14one two three inning seven in a
19:17row set down by Dave Stewart and
19:19we go to the bottom of the
19:20seventh inning that broom could
19:22come in handy in a little
19:24bringing Longoria in for a strike.
19:35Did he go around.
19:36He did strike three and Henderson
19:38strikes out for the second time.
19:39He can't believe it.
19:41But the inning is over.
19:45Bolton came in and gave up that
19:46two run double.
19:48And the A's have not done broken
19:51back grounder glove by Lansford
19:53by the third and there's one
19:54away eight in a row set down by
20:00Dave Stewart as is his custom
20:01getting stronger as the game
20:02moves along.
20:04Once again from that position a
20:05chance to get a quick jump on
20:06the ball with a lateral
20:07movement and the rest of it.
20:08Pretty routine for Kearney Lansford.
20:21So florist pitcher for Joe
20:22Morgan today.
20:23Kind of ironic that we've talked
20:25about that.
20:27Forb and everyone was in
20:29condition.
20:31And Henderson strikes out one
20:32ball.
20:33I think that's probably what
20:34Tony La Russa should get
20:35credit for above all is that he
20:37gets this ball club so
20:38prepared from spring training
20:40day one on.
20:42And that once they take the
20:43field that you know they just
20:44kind of react and do what they
20:45normally do.
20:46He takes care of all the
20:47preparation and the drilling
20:48and probably does it better
20:50than any manager in baseball
20:51has a great coaching staff.
20:53He played it and he walks up.
21:08The A's send up a pinch hitter
21:09for Ron Hassie Joe Morgan coming
21:15out to the mound.
21:17Jeff Reardon has been warming up
21:18in the bullpen.
21:19Knocked out seven hits in this
21:23series.
21:26Here goes the runner pitch
21:27taken for a ball the throw to
21:28second.
21:29And safe his blanket ship for the
21:31stolen base.
21:39Swing and a miss strike three.
21:41And the inning is over and now
21:42we go to the ninth inning.
21:44Wendy Peralta the new pitch.
21:49Sox.
21:52Her ball line fair down the left
21:53field line and into the corner
21:55chasing it as Ricky Henderson.
21:57And going into second with a
21:58double is Ellis Burks.
22:00And the first extra base hit
22:02for the Red Sox in the game.
22:07Off a fastball line drive in the
22:10hundred and four pitches.
22:12Stewart had thrown seventy five
22:13pitches through the first six
22:14innings.
22:16Game of the series.
22:20Gave up a run in four hits and
22:22that down the door for the A's.
22:24And there's a base hit down the
22:25right field line.
22:27Rounding third is Burks.
22:28And the first extra base hit for
22:29the Red Sox in the game.
22:33Off a fastball line drive in the
22:34hundred and four pitches.
22:35Stewart had thrown seventy five
22:36pitches through the first six
22:37innings.
22:38And on at first with a base hit.
22:39It's a three to one ball game.
22:42And that may be all for Dave
22:44Stewart.
22:46I would think so with Honeycutt
22:47ready in the bullpen for the
22:48A's.
22:50Reed gets only his second hit of
22:51the series and an RBI.
22:52And here comes La Russa.
22:54He has pitched marvelously.
23:08LCS and has faced one batter each
23:11time both Mike Greenwell and he's
23:16retired them both times.
23:19Greenwell two left handed hitters
23:20box.
23:21Two for three.
23:23Wood is a step behind third.
23:26Round ball up the middle.
23:27Randolph playing perfectly steps
23:28on the bag for one.
23:29The first in time for the double
23:32play and there are two gone.
23:41A big double play for Honeycutt.
23:43Greenwell has not gotten a base
23:53hit in the LCS.
23:54He is over 13 and a one hopper
24:03fielded by Gallego.
24:04The throw to first and the ball
24:06is over.
24:36And once in a second it's over
24:38the same ball.
24:39You.
24:40You know.
24:41The other big blink.
24:43The hole gets the ball out at
24:43the center.
24:44The hockey ball out at the
24:452nd.
24:46The hockey ball out.
