06:30Here's a swing and a ground ball.
10:44Okay.
10:49that was a nice strikeout when you're getting guys out with three pitches you
10:53know you're dominating that's a time when you know you are definitely in the
10:57zone and he was on that at bat baton court at the plate career average 276
11:04against the Angels
11:09grounder Chiespo and he's up with it he'll throw on the first and that'll do
11:15it for this happening
11:19Chris Lyonetta at the plate well coming off of a game where he swung the bat
11:24extremely well a single double a triple just short of the cycle only lacking the
11:29home run I'll tell you what he's locked in right now and a swinging strike on the
11:34first pitch from Sanchez 0-1 boy that's some kind of fastball down in the zone
11:39right there the hitter has to be ready for it he's got no chance to hit it
11:44he deals line drive left of the bag and foul
11:50Ionetta falls off another
12:01and Ionetta strike out on a big swing
12:12KK presents the two seamer take a look
12:15two straight fastballs he still couldn't catch up with it
12:19but the pitcher comes back with a fastball right after he threw one and gets the K you know he's throwing gas out
12:24out there and it's Kendrick batting
12:29you know guys looking back the last season the Royals cut their payroll in
12:33half you thought how can they be better this year than they've been previously but
12:37they did improve their record in 2011 so maybe there's hope with some of these
12:41young prospects coming up first pitch was a strike 0-1 now kind of well not funny
12:47certainly if you're with the Royals but there's a swing and a drive deep to left
12:50field this one to Francourt oh and he can't come up with it
12:58and he pulls in the first base with that base hit
13:01there's one down here
13:11well with one out here and a guy on first base the last thing you want to do is hit into a double play
13:17let's see if he can stay away from that
13:19Diaspo at the plate
13:20a breakout year for Jonathan Sanchez in 2010
13:23but he couldn't repeat it in last season and what would end up being a shortened one for him
13:28as he had a stint on the DL
13:29for Sanchez a very good start but one of the problems was he seemed to lose his control as the season went on
13:37a lot of walks
13:38well at times he looks like a thrower instead of a pitcher
13:41and he's got to get in that strike zone more with that dominating stuff
13:45he's got the kind of stuff he can throw it over the plate and still get hitters out
13:48Mike Trout gets to swing now with two away
13:51strike one
13:52swings at that fastball and misses 0-1
13:55if you saw his last game you realize he had some kind of offensive day
13:59hitting for the cycle
14:00a single double triple and home run
14:02major contribution offensively
14:05here's a swing and a ground ball
14:09and that one's going to go through
14:11that's our first hit of the game for these guys
14:13boy they've opened the door
14:15can Anaheim go through it
14:17now this separates the men from the boys at the plate
14:230-2 count coming up with a big base hit
14:25you've got to keep battling and that's what he did even though
14:28here's a swing a fly ball deep down the line and right
14:32and that's out number 3
14:34they pick up no runs on a hit
14:37and they leave 2-1
14:38Gia Vitella is at the plate
14:42he'll start things off here in the third inning
14:44and Escobar outside the zone for a ball
14:51trying to get the ground ball out
14:53you throw that two seam fastball
14:55away from the hitter trying to get him to reach and roll over it
14:58he laid off of it here
14:59swings and grounds this one foul
15:02wide a third
15:03ugly pitch catcher able to somehow scoop that out
15:11the 2-1 pitch
15:17up the middle
15:18and that one is through
15:21first hit of the ball game for this club
15:23take a look at what's coming up for the Angels
15:25final game with Kansas City is tomorrow
15:28they'll go up against the Twins in Minnesota
15:31that'll be Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
15:33that's a road trip to take on the Yankees
15:36and the fan favorite Alex Rodriguez
15:38boy there's some great competition in that set of games
15:41there's quite a few road games coming up
15:43and that's always challenging
15:44Freddie with a 1-0
15:45and this is bounced foul to the left side
15:49here's the pitch
15:53swing and a miss
15:55and he's behind 1-2
15:56that two seam fastball away
15:58is just screaming to be hit on the ground
16:01as the hitter opens up
16:02awfully tough to hit with that kind of movement
16:04straight away left
16:05and Trout
16:06he ranges in
16:09takes care of it
16:09in short left
16:10right now it's Meyer
16:15a 1-4-4 last year
16:18against the Angels
16:19and he watches the low pitch
16:22from Escobar
16:23ground ball towards second
16:30he snares it
16:31the second for one
16:33not in time
16:35Bullholz
16:36they will just get one on that one
16:38they get the lead runner at second base
16:39but I think they would have liked to have gotten two right there
16:42it's going to be Kane now
16:44he flew out his last time up
16:46and the first pitch
16:48and Escobar
16:49outside the zone
16:50for a ball
16:51fastball misses badly
16:58he's behind 2-0
16:59well anytime you're throwing a fastball
17:01down in the zone
17:02especially down and in
17:04the only thing a hitter can do
17:05is hit that ball into the ground
17:07good job of laying off
17:08and that misses as well
17:18that's a four pitch walk
17:19off the plate outside
17:21he's missed on four straight
17:23he's got to bring it back to the zone
17:24we'll see if Billy Butler can do something now at the plate
17:27grounded out his last time up
17:29that swung on
17:30hit on the ground
17:31played by Kendrick
17:32throws on the first
17:35in time to retire the side
17:37though they pick up no runs
17:39one hit
17:39maybe a bit of an ocean breeze coming in
17:45Anaheim about 15 miles from the Pacific
17:47looks for a beautiful baseball night
17:49and Borgias is going to come to the plate
17:52no balls
18:00one strike
18:00Sanchez
18:01and he fouls off another one
18:04lined foul towards third
18:12and here's the pitch
18:18swung on
18:20hit in the air to right center
18:21this one beyond him
18:23it's going to be extra bases
18:25it rolls all the way to the wall
18:27he's in there
18:29at second base
18:30still no one away
18:31pitcher's talent
18:40hitter's pitch
18:41that's an 0-2 count
18:43a little too aggressive
18:44on the pitcher's part
18:44coming into the strike zone
18:46good piece of hitting
18:47and Torrey Hunter
18:490 for 1 thus far
18:50here's the delivery
18:55hit up the middle
18:56he's way towards home
18:59and he's in there
19:02what a big RBI
19:07he comes to right there
19:09in the clutch
19:09to break this scoreless tie
19:11right at bat
19:12runner on first now
19:15for Albert Pujols
19:16now Steve
19:18they've got the edge right now
19:19they're getting some big runs
19:20at an important part of the game
19:22kind of salt it away early
19:24well this lineup
19:25has to be very happy
19:26to get out to an early lead
19:27in this game
19:28it builds their confidence
19:29and allows them
19:30to be more selective
19:31at the plate
19:31strike two
19:34now no balls
19:35two strikes
19:36Pujols needs
19:37to protect that strike zone
19:38and as we've seen
19:39so often in this game
19:40you can never
19:41there's a swing
19:42and a ground ball
19:43he picks it up
19:44one
19:45and two
19:46double play
19:48and a great throw
19:49right there
19:50second base
19:51strong arm
19:51arm strength critical
19:53turning the double play
19:54it can be a matter
19:55of a split second
19:56to get the out
19:56great double play
19:57let's take a look
20:01let's take a look at the angels
20:02and where they ended up
20:03last year
20:03rank wise
20:04in the American League
20:05fourth and triples
20:06fifth and stolen bases
20:08and they were in the top ten
20:09and doubles
20:10driving the ball out to the wall
20:12playing a lot of wall ball
20:13last year
20:13showing that speed
20:14coming out of the batter's box
20:16and taking the extra bases
20:17and here's the first one
20:20swing shoots this one
20:23towards the gap
20:24right center
20:24this one into the alleyway
20:27should be extra bases
20:28that will bring Chris Iannetta
20:32to the plate
20:33wow he had three big hits
20:35in the last game
20:35and that was on the winning side
20:37and he's getting them going
20:38again with that at bat
20:39struck out swinging
20:41his last time up
20:42now the first pitch
20:43swing sends this one
20:45right up the chute
20:46near second
20:46and Betancourt's going to play it
20:49and that's going to do it
20:51in this half inning
20:52and our first scoring of the game
20:54here in the third
20:55one run in
20:56the angels lead it
20:57one to nothing
20:58and it's Eric Hosman
21:02now to lead it on
21:030 for 1 thus far
21:05there's a ground ball
21:09and Ivar picks it up
21:11that's one away
21:13shortstop makes a nice play
21:15right here Gary
21:16good feet at that position
21:17gets the easy out at first
21:19one out Alex Gordon
21:20at the plate
21:21last season
21:23very good 3-0-8
21:24against the angels
21:25playing here in Los Angeles
21:26to right center
21:28and that'll put Gordon
21:29on first base
21:30and that's going to bring
21:32Jeff Francor up
21:33and here's a chance
21:34to see where Alex Gordon
21:35ended up in the rankings
21:36last year
21:376th in doubles
21:388th in hits
21:40the batting average numbers
21:41were there
21:42as he ranked in the top
21:4310 hitters
21:44in the league
21:45putting the ball in play
21:46finding holes
21:47and finding a way
21:48to get on base
21:49and he is part of this
21:51offensive lineup
21:52that Ned Yost
21:52has put together
21:53and Francor
21:54will take it down low
21:55for a ball
21:56and a comeback year
21:57for Jeff Francor
21:58in 2011
21:59bounced around
22:00from a few teams
22:01that swung on
22:02and a liner here
22:03and Francor
22:05has got himself
22:05a single
22:06this a great situation
22:09for some offense
22:10we were talking about
22:13Francor
22:13for some players
22:14you've got to find
22:15a spot in the lineup
22:16what happened for him
22:17last year
22:17they put him in that
22:185 hole
22:18and he became
22:19an RBI machine
22:20he got really comfortable
22:21there
22:21no question about that
22:22in Kansas City
22:23it's good to see
22:24Frenchy back again
22:24with that smile
22:25on his face
22:26one of the most
22:26personable guys
22:27in the game
22:27also pretty good hitter
22:29driving in runs
22:30in 2011
22:30swing
22:36hot shot
22:37and there's another
22:38one
22:38couple of quick hits
22:39so
22:43our State Farm
22:44leaderboard

22:53the Red Sox
22:53fourth the Royals
22:55and
22:55it's the Yankees
22:57number five
22:58ball
22:58well nothing
23:00demoralizes
23:01a team
23:01more than
23:01being able
23:02to hit
23:02in the clutch
23:03and this team
23:03is one of the
23:04best at it
23:04in baseball
23:05with runners
23:06in scoring position
23:07you think you
23:08get a guy out
23:08the next guy
23:09beats you
23:10this team
23:10just sends
23:11one after the other
23:12with guys
23:12who love
23:13hitting in clutch
23:14situations
23:15misses low
23:16ball three
23:17now Gary's
23:17done a nice job
23:18working around
23:19the four hits
23:19he's given up
23:20here into the
23:20fourth
23:21and that's
23:21about making
23:22pitches
23:22and he's done
23:23an effective
23:24job when he's
23:24had to pitch
23:25out of the stretch
23:26oh he missed
23:27it
23:27ball four
23:28and the tying
23:29run is in
23:30it's going to be
23:47Perez now
23:48and he'll be
23:49swinging with the
23:50bases loaded
23:50look Gary
23:51they got a big
23:52opportunity now
23:53to take the lead
23:54in this situation
23:54I think there's
23:56an issue of how
23:56much is left
23:57in his tank
23:58right here
23:58so that swung
23:59on and grounded
24:00up the middle
24:00Ibar gets one
24:02and they'll get
24:04two
24:04the double play
24:07well they scratch
24:08across a run
24:09three hits
24:10and a couple
24:10left on
24:11and it's
24:15Kendrick batting
24:16and a moment
24:18here to see
24:18how this pitcher
24:19has been mixing
24:20up his pitches
24:20well when you're
24:21playing behind
24:22swung on line
24:23to right center
24:24field
24:24in there
24:25and this is
24:26going to be
24:26trouble
24:26all the way
24:28to the wall
24:28and he pulls
24:32into second base
24:33that will be a
24:33double
24:34well it's so
24:41important for your
24:42team to get
24:42guys on base
24:43and in scoring
24:44position early
24:45in the inning
24:46and that's exactly
24:47what he did
24:48ground ball
24:48to Gordon
24:49and he boots
24:51it
24:51so that is
24:54going to put
24:55Mike Trout
24:55at the plate
24:56he got things
24:58going earlier
24:59on first at
25:00bat he got a
25:00single off
25:01Sancho
25:02you know he's
25:02got to be
25:03telling himself
25:03right now
25:04if I go to
25:04the four scene
25:05fastball
25:05I've got to
25:06locate it better
25:06than the last
25:07time when he
25:08got a hit
25:08against me
25:08and that single
25:09he had last
25:10time through
25:10didn't drive
25:11in anyone
25:11but if he
25:12repeats that
25:12here it should
25:13be enough to
25:13get the man
25:14in from second
25:15the pitch
25:21and another
25:23foul ball
25:23that one's
25:30nailed by

28:11up
28:11the
28:11middle
28:11oh
28:12mercy
28:13book that did not miss him by much but he got out of the way
28:16but he recovers in time makes the play good work
28:19got him in time first base out
28:22now let's see it again does the ball beat him to the back it sure does
28:25good call
28:26it's going to be Kane now
28:28oh
28:32and Escobar outside the zone for a ball
28:35trying to get the ground ball out you throw that two seam fastball away from the hitter
28:40trying to get him to reach and roll over it he laid off of it here
28:43and it's caught played by Borges
28:47State Farm takes a look at the lineups with a pop in their bat from last season
28:51the Red Sox number one
28:53second the Rangers
28:54in third the
28:55Yankees
29:07Tigers four
29:08number five
29:09the Royals rounded out
29:10well anybody can be pitched to the
29:12the problem is with this team
29:14one of the top slugging percentage teams in the league last year is
29:17when you make a mistake
29:18they seem to end up for extra bases
29:21with this club
29:22everyone in this lineup has some sort of power
29:24even if it's not home run power
29:25they have gap power
29:27and that's a vital part of any team's offense
29:30and CJ Wilson is the pitcher
29:32as they make the pitching swap
29:35one-two pitch coming
29:42slider swig on and miss
29:44struck him out
29:44that's going to retire on the side
29:46nobody left on base
29:48no runs or hits here in this half inning
29:50the Angel
29:51and this Prince Fielder in the box now
29:56this will be his third time to the plate
29:58he's got one hit
29:58off Sanchez
29:59but of course he's done
30:00up the middle
30:01and he gets it through
30:03that's his second hit in the ballgame
30:05that'll bring Chris Iannetta to the plate
30:08well that's a start this team needed
30:10get that first guy in the inning up
30:12get him on base
30:13and let's see if they can bring him around to score
30:16and taking a look here
30:18the pitch types that he's thrown today
30:20that have yielded hits
30:21well that two-seamer has been hit five times
30:24generating a lot of opportunities for this lineup
30:26well he swings now and really hit that
30:32I can't grab it
30:34Fielder trying for third
30:37and it's Kendrick batting
30:54he doubled his last time
30:55no outs runners
30:57it's second and third
30:58and here's the first one
31:00Sanchez fools him on that one
31:03he had a little extra giddy up on that one
31:05as he just blows it right by him
31:06on the way
31:08swing
31:09ball is clobbered
31:10high
31:11deep to left center field
31:12gone
31:13that's good for three
31:15he gets three guys
31:18now they lead by seven
31:20the last ball
31:21in the batter's box
31:23well this wasn't the type of start
31:25the pitcher wanted
31:26or the manager wanted
31:27or his team wanted
31:28now they've got to see if the bullpen
31:30can do a little bit better
31:31well you viewers at home
31:33if you'd like to see a lot of fireworks
31:34hang in
31:35because right now it's just all over this yard
31:37now the power being shown off here
31:39another home run
31:40and it's a highlight reel of power
31:41there's a ground ball
31:46Hosmer in position
31:48and that's out number one
31:50as he takes it to the bag
31:51now State Farm takes a look at who had the most triples last year
31:56well these sorts of speedy players really allow teams
31:59to score runs in a different way
32:05they don't have to wait for the three run home run
32:07they don't have to wait for that ball hitting the gap
32:09they can manufacture runs with their speed
32:23here's the first pitch
32:27it's all in one as he swings and misses at that fastball
32:31well he wasn't trying to hit a single the other way with that swing
32:34he's trying to take that ball out of the ballpark
32:36let me tell you if he gets another pitch in that location
32:39look out
32:40we might have a souvenir
32:41five drops that ball
32:47that's got to be in the eight
32:48crowd going to third
32:50and he'll stop at third with a triple
32:55well when he shoots this one toward the wall
33:01you know he's thinking three all the way
33:03and with his speed
33:04he makes it there easily
33:06now with only one out
33:08the manager has a big decision how they're going to pitch to this next guy
33:11two away
33:15here comes the runner for the plate
33:17and the throw
33:19but it's high and he is safe at home
33:22and he throws it away
33:25quality solid at bat right there
33:27this is what you want to do with a runner on
33:29find a way to get him in
33:31even if you hit into an out
33:32and Borges is going to come to the plate
33:34that's a foul ball
33:37the pitch
33:49and Betancourt picks it up
33:52and he throws on to first
33:54that'll retire the side
33:55though they add a four spot here
33:57to extend their lead even further
33:59the Angels dominating this
34:01and Hosmer is in the box
34:080 for 2 thus far
34:10and Ionetta spotting the pitch
34:12ball one
34:15and he throws the breaking ball at the hitter's head
34:18trying to catch the corner up and in
34:20trying to get him to flinch
34:22he didn't take the bait
34:23didn't swing the bat
34:24line drive fouled off towards first
34:27and Wilson outside the zone
34:34that's going to be a ball
34:35now the 2-1 pitch
34:40now Eric Cosma has the count
34:43at 3-1
34:44he'll try and drive one
34:4525 career at bat
34:486 hits off the Angels
34:49refuses to go after it
34:51missed
34:51ball four
34:52a good eye at the plate right there
34:55he showed the discipline to lay off
34:56of that inside pitch
34:57so Alex Gordon will come up
35:00he singled
35:00and later scored
35:01in his last time up
35:02ball
35:03cutter just
35:04misses
35:041-0
35:05the 1-0 now
35:10and Gordon with a swing and a miss
35:13that is a strike
35:14the count evened up
35:15credit the catcher on that one
35:16that's a good low target
35:18setting up
35:18and he hit the target
35:20good execution
35:21here's the delivery
35:26now Gordon has a 3-1 count
35:29power hitter's joy
35:30and he is
35:30well anytime you have a count
35:323-1 in your favor as the hitter
35:34you're looking for a pitch
35:36in a little box
35:37in the location you want to
35:38if he throws it in there
35:40you better be ready
35:41and get a good hack at it
35:42that'll bring up Jeff Francoeur
35:45look here we just saw the second walk
35:47in this inning
35:48and you really have to start to question
35:50is he nibbling
35:51trying to avoid contact
35:52or is he losing control
35:53and this is below the knees
35:56ball too
35:56and Steve absolutely right
35:58about those walks here
35:59he's got himself in a jam
36:01he doesn't get out of it
36:02his part of the game
36:02may be over
36:03well he's finding himself
36:04in hitter's counts
36:07and when hitters can look
36:08for a certain pitch
36:09they can drive it
36:10so he's in trouble
36:11this one's bounced up the middle
36:14he's up with it
36:15and they'll record the out
36:17at first base
36:18good timing on that play
36:19he might not have been able
36:20to get him out of the plate
36:21but a short run over to first
36:23and he still retires his man
36:24batting court at the plate
36:45as a second full season
36:46as a starter
36:47C.J. Wilson has improved
36:49upon his first year
36:50doing everything you can ask
36:52what's the starting pitcher to do
36:53giving him 200 innings
36:54once again
36:55and taking over
36:56as the ace of the staff
36:57little warm up action
36:59going in the bullpen
37:00that's a right hander
37:01up and throwing
37:01well they're going to wait
37:02for the right hander
37:03hitter on deck
37:03to get in now
37:04so then they'll probably
37:05make the move to the pen
37:06here's the 2-1
37:09well come in on that hard slider
37:11now 3-1
37:12you wonder when a pitcher
37:14goes from the pen
37:15to that starting rotation
37:16that's not an easy change
37:18and C.J. Wilson
37:19magnificent job
37:20in getting it done
37:21boy that's the truth
37:22you just never really know
37:23and you always worry
37:24that the pitcher's
37:25going to get fatigued
37:26that his arm can't handle it
37:27that he's going to be all over
37:28and won't throw strikes
37:28but he made the transition
37:30about as well
37:30as any pitcher I've seen
37:32well you just saw
37:33a great deal of plate discipline
37:34right there on the hitter
37:36maybe a little fatigue
37:37on the pitcher's part
37:38they're not used to
37:38throwing that many pitches
37:40in one at bat
37:41but the hitter wins it
37:42and gets that base on balls
37:44swing and a miss
37:48even at one
37:49on the way
37:54a swing and a fly ball
37:56in the left center field
37:57Borges
37:58able to glide over
38:01not much of a problem
38:02on that one
38:02here's a look at the teams
38:04who got it done last year
38:05at the plate
38:06brought to you by State Farm
38:07number one
38:08the Rangers
38:08the Red Sox in second
38:10Tigers third
38:11fourth spot held
38:12with the Royals
38:13and it's the Yankees
38:15number five
38:16one of the top hitting teams
38:17in baseball last year
38:18will be on display
38:19in this game today
38:20and these guys
38:21when they step out
38:22of the dugout
38:23they're swinging the bat
38:24these guys can put the ball
38:25in play
38:26and they all hit
38:27for a high average
38:27well that hurts
38:30there's no question
38:31about it
38:31but it eases the pain
38:32when you know
38:33you get an RBI for it
38:34right now
38:35it's Meyer
38:36well he's got an opportunity
38:38here
38:38he can be a hero
38:39you get an extra base hit
38:40you're going to score
38:41some runs
38:41well you don't know
38:42how many opportunities
38:43you're going to get
38:43later in the game
38:44you have to take advantage
38:45of this one
38:46if you're going to make
38:47a comeback
38:47now is the time
38:48now is the time to start
38:49a swing and a foul
38:54off to the right side
38:55this one tapped in front
39:01of the plate
39:02Diasmo scoops it up
39:03he'll throw on to first
39:06and that'll do it
39:06for this half inning
39:07those of you just coming
39:12on board
39:12Gary Thorne with Steve
39:13Phillips and John Crutt
39:14bringing you Major League
39:16Baseball on 2K Sports
39:17and Torrey Hunter
39:19he's going to lead off
39:20bottom half of the
39:21sixth inning
39:21this one to Francor
39:24and he meanders over
39:27to put it away
39:28and it's Albert Pujols
39:33now with one away
39:34here's the first one
39:43swung on and missed
39:440-1
39:45well you knew
39:46that one of the greatest
39:47hitters over the last
39:4810 years
39:49historic numbers
39:50for free agent market
39:51you know they were
39:52going to line up
39:53to get him
39:53the Angels proved
39:54to be the team
39:55he wanted to play for
39:56a swing line
39:58to left center
39:59that one
40:00in the alley
40:01this could be
40:01two or more
40:02and the numbers
40:08in the contract
40:09he got with the Angels
40:09for Pujols
40:10showed just
40:11how valuable
40:12teams thought he was
40:14I mean maybe
40:14the premier player
40:16of the day
40:16I don't have any question
40:17he's proven to be
40:18one of the best
40:18if not the best hitter
40:19since he came to the Major
40:21leagues in 2001
40:35hitting for average
40:35power driving in runs
40:37a gold glove caliber
40:38first baseman
40:39he can do it all
40:40a decade long resume
40:41of showing that he can
40:42dominate the pitching
40:43in the majors
40:44here's Romine
40:45to hit
40:45he's going to come on
40:47as a pinch hitter
40:48that's one out
40:50but he'll hang on to that
40:51so they will get one
40:53whoa
40:54they just bungled that one
40:55that throws to the wrong base
40:56well he gets the man
40:58over to third base
40:59but with two out
41:00now it doesn't help much
41:13but at least 90 feet
41:15closer to scoring
41:16Chris Iannetta
41:17has the plate
41:18he's hit 263
41:20lifetime off the Royals
41:22Donga's going to take a shot at
41:23he'll be the pinch hitter
41:25rolling into the corner
41:27that's going to be extra basic
41:29and Cole Hulse will score
41:31well what an at bat right there
41:35you know you're talking about
41:36a guy coming off the bench
41:38cold
41:38it's one of the toughest things
41:39to do in all of baseball
41:40and he made it look easy
41:42and it's Kendrick batting
41:44here's the first pick
41:48hit in the air
41:50to center field
41:51and it gets down
41:53a three for four game
41:55good hitting job
41:56and the run gets in
41:58Kendrick's heading for third
42:00not stopping
42:01he's heading home
42:02on extra base hit
42:06that time
42:07and with that
42:07he needs only a single
42:09to complete the cycle
42:10you'd think the single
42:11would be the easiest
42:12one of them all
42:13fastball at the plate
42:15show no mercy
42:16and the offense is going
42:17you don't give up at bats
42:18and they're not
42:19here's the pitch
42:21and it's fouled off
42:23swung on and ripped
42:31towards second
42:32throws to first in time
42:36that's three down
42:37they pick up two
42:38three hits
42:39strand a man
42:40the Angels dominating
42:42this ball game
42:43it's going to be Kane now
42:47now the first pitch
42:51swings and grounds
42:54this one
42:54foul
42:55wide a third
42:56and on the mound
43:07we're going to see
43:07Garrett Richards
43:08he's coming on
43:10in relief
43:11for the Angels
43:11looks at a ball
43:14one-on-one
43:15look Garrett
43:15with this big lead
43:16here in the seventh inning
43:17it's incumbent upon the pitcher
43:18to throw strikes
43:20get outs right now
43:21liner between first
43:24and second
43:25and Pujols
43:26makes the play
43:27here's Billy Butler
43:30now at the plate
43:31which one down
43:31another strong year
43:33for Billy Butler
43:34who's one of the more
43:35consistent hitters
43:36in the league
43:36year in and year out
43:37he finds a way
43:38to put up big numbers
43:39just missed
43:40with the fastball
43:41one-on-one
43:41tell you about
43:42Butler's numbers
43:432011
43:44291 average
43:4519 home runs
43:46almost that
43:47100 RBI margin
43:48and I don't think
43:49he's ever going to
43:50put up those big numbers
43:51I don't think
43:52he's ever going to
43:52be a 35
43:53120
43:54130 RBI guy
43:55but when you
43:56pencil in a lineup
43:57you know you're going
43:58to get this year
43:58in and year out
43:59from him
43:59I think most managers
44:01would take it
44:02here's the pitch
44:09and Billy Butler
44:12watches that one
44:12go by
44:13count will be even
44:14one out here
44:15in the seventh inning
44:15I mean you have to
44:16like the way this is going
44:17they're looking good
44:18the pitch is throwing
44:19strikes
44:19the defense making plays
44:21they've got a big lead
44:22everything feels good
44:23now it's two down
44:25so with two down
44:33it'll be Eric Hosmer
44:34last year
44:36the average for him
44:37240 against the Angels
44:39fastball runs inside
44:431-0
44:44well it's getting late
44:45right now
44:45two outs here
44:46in the seventh inning
44:47and you know
44:47they're down by a bunch
44:48of runs
44:49they need to start
44:50to get something
44:50going right here
44:51Gary
44:51that one goes foul
44:53and that's another
45:06foul ball
45:06the one-two pitch
45:13ground ball
45:15and Eibar
45:16picks it up
45:17throws on to first
45:19in time
45:19to retire the side
45:21and they are unable
45:23for those of you
45:25just joining in
45:26I'm Gary Thorne
45:27along with John Kruk
45:28and Steve Phillips
45:29we bring you
45:30Major League Baseball
45:31here on 2K Sports
45:33Trout at the plate
45:34and a home run
45:35back in the fourth inning
45:36first pitch on the way
45:38swings and misses
45:40at the fastball
45:410-1
45:41it's tough for hitters
45:43to protect both sides
45:44of the plate
45:45you can't protect
45:46the outside
45:46and the inside
45:48especially when you're
45:49throwing your fastball
45:50down and away
45:50he delivers
45:55swing and a ball
45:57popped
45:57foul
45:58to the left side
45:59here's the pitch
46:13and Mike Trout
46:15comes up empty
46:15with that swing
46:16strike three
46:17and that sets him down
46:18and 80 miles per hour
46:20that's pretty good
46:20movement right there
46:21though with one away
46:23it'll be Eric Ibar
46:24last time off
46:25he drove in a run
46:26with the side
46:26here we go
46:38here's the first pitch
46:53line towards second
46:54and he bobbles
46:56this thing
46:56but he stays with it
46:58gets the out
46:59that's how you do it
47:00and Borgias is going
47:03to come to the plate
47:04drove in a run
47:05earlier in the game
47:06there's a swing
47:13and a liner
47:14towards the gap
47:15in left field
47:15this one beyond him
47:17it's going to be
47:18extra bases
47:18this one finds
47:20its way around
47:21rolling all the way
47:22to the wall
47:22so there are two men
47:24down here
47:25but they do get a man
47:26in scoring position
47:27well he's having
47:28a heck of a day
47:29so far
47:30it's his third hit
47:31of the game
47:31in this one
47:32they just can't seem
47:33to find an answer
47:33for him
47:34and it's Torrey Hunter
47:35in the box now
47:36flew out last time
47:38and that's going to do it
47:41Fran Coors there
47:42though they pick up
47:44a hit
47:45but
47:45Alex Gordon
47:48leading it off
47:49drew a walk
47:50his last time
47:50and he starts him out
47:53fastball
47:56just misses
47:571-0
47:58it's getting late
47:59right now
47:59they're down a bunch
48:00so they need a big
48:01inning here
48:02they can't wait
48:02till the ninth
48:03to try to come
48:04all the way back
48:04they need to try
48:05to do something now
48:06and Gordon
48:07with a swing
48:08and a miss
48:08that is a strike
48:09the count evened up
48:10the pitch
48:142-1 now
48:17a front door
48:18two seam fastball
48:19trying to throw it
48:20inside
48:21letting it tail back
48:22to the inside corner
48:23couldn't quite catch
48:24the corner though
48:25it's fouled off
48:27tough pitch to lay off
48:36that time
48:36full count
48:373-2
48:37the 3-2 pitch
48:43swing
48:45and a miss
48:45strike three
48:46Gordon out
48:47you've got to have
48:48better plate discipline
48:49than that
48:49with two strikes
48:50you need to be defensive
48:51and try to make contact
48:52but when you get a fastball
48:54you need to read
48:55whether it's a striker
48:55grounded out
48:57his last time
48:573-0
49:07take a look down there
49:13in the bullpen
49:13they've got a lefty
49:14up and throwing
49:15well I don't see them
49:16coming in just yet
49:17I mean with a righty
49:18in the on deck circle
49:19I don't think that's
49:20the matchup they want
49:21pitch on the way
49:26there's a swing
49:28and that one's hit
49:29on the ground
49:29that's the second out
49:33Betancourt at the plate
49:37one for two
49:38in the ball game
49:39first pitch on the way
49:42taps this one
49:46foul off to the left
49:47misses for a ball
49:56to even things at one
49:57Gary I think right now
49:59that you've got to
50:00consider trading outs
50:01for runs
50:02if you're pitching
50:03I mean listen
50:04just keep getting outs
50:05right now
50:06the countdown's there
50:07you only need four outs
50:07left to win this ball game
50:08misses there
50:17we're even at two
50:18fastball swung on
50:27and missed
50:28side retired
50:28and they aren't able
50:30to make any noise
50:31here in this half inning
50:32the Angels still
50:34enjoying this lead
50:35and Albert Pujolsok
50:40he's going to lead off
50:41the home half
50:42of the eighth
50:42you know they're losing
50:46a little bit
50:47the defensive department
50:48with this change
50:49that may be geared
50:50more toward offense
50:51it's just odd
50:52to make this move
50:53right now
50:54here it comes
51:01strike two
51:02now no balls
51:03two strikes
51:04Pujols needs
51:04to protect that
51:05strike zone
51:06that's a huge swing
51:07right there
51:08he was looking
51:09for a fastball
51:10but just couldn't
51:11quite catch up to it
51:12great pitch
51:13and it's got
51:14the play
51:15by Gordon
51:15here's
51:18Romine
51:18to hit
51:18no hits
51:20only one at bat
51:21last season
51:22off the Royal
51:22first pitch
51:28to him
51:28can't wait long enough
51:30for that one
51:30and he starts out
51:31with a strike
51:32foul
51:42fouled away
51:43ground ball
51:53to short
51:53and Betancourt
51:55picks it up
51:55in time
51:57for the up
51:57conga's gonna
52:01take a shot
52:02at it
52:02not an RBI
52:03double this
52:04last time
52:04here's the delivery
52:13foul ball
52:14foul
52:24and he fouls
52:25another one off
52:26fastball
52:35swung on
52:35and missed
52:36and the sides
52:37retired
52:37and they're held
52:39in check here
52:39in this half inning
52:40we're through
52:41eight
52:41the ninth
52:42is coming up
52:42and if you
52:45just tuning in
52:53hi
52:54Gary Thorne
52:54along with
52:55John Crutch
52:55Steve Phillips
52:56we bring you
52:57Major League Baseball
52:58on 2K Sports
52:59Gia Vitella
53:00is at the plate
53:01last time up
53:02flew out
53:03Scott Downs
53:04is going to be pitching
53:05they've decided
53:06it was time
53:06to make a change
53:07here
53:07fastball
53:08is downstairs
53:09one ball
53:10no strikes
53:11I think right now
53:12offensively
53:12you've got to start
53:13getting base runners
53:14get as many
53:15as you can
53:15I mean you're down
53:16a ton
53:17so you don't need
53:18big hits
53:18you don't need
53:19home runs
53:19you need base runners
53:20too high
53:22too high that time
53:22and it's
53:22three and one
53:23you're playing
53:24with fire
53:25right there
53:25hanging the
53:25breaking ball
53:26up in the zone
53:27that's the way
53:27you can get hurt
53:28this one's grounded
53:29near third
53:30foul
53:30big swing
53:37and a miss
53:37on a heater
53:37strike him out
53:38one down
53:39that's about as
53:40straight as a string
53:41right there
53:41at 84 miles
53:42per hour
53:43he just looked
53:45overpowered
53:45on those two
53:46fastballs
53:47John thought
53:47the timing
53:48that time
53:48just didn't seem
53:49to be there
53:50in the at bat
53:50well and a strikeout
53:51like that
53:52will give the pitcher
53:53a lot of confidence
53:54and in the batter's
53:55box it's Pina
53:56swings and grounds
54:01this one
54:02foul
54:02wide a third
54:03swings at that
54:091-1 pitch
54:09fastball
54:10by him
54:10strike two
54:11well it's tough
54:12to tell a hitter
54:12to stay back
54:13on a fastball
54:14but this is what
54:15he needs to do
54:15he's jumping out
54:17trying to get to it
54:17and he's just
54:18way out in front
54:19grounder
54:27Ciespo
54:28and he's up
54:29with it
54:30and that's in
54:31plenty of time
54:32for the out
54:33down to their
54:34final out right
54:35here Gary
54:35so I mean
54:36they're looking
54:36pretty dire
54:37at this point
54:38and you know
54:39but listen
54:39funnier things
54:40have happened
54:41they've got to
54:41get base runners
54:42though
54:42right now
54:43it's Meyer
54:44and not a lot
54:46of expectations
54:47here
54:47just a 182
54:49lifetime average
54:50against the Angels
54:50just missed

55:102-2
55:10just a little bit
55:12out in front
55:12of that fastball
55:13and that swing
55:14taps this one
55:16foul to the right
55:17swing and a line
55:23at a right center
55:24and it's through
55:26that's a base hit
55:27every big league
55:31hitter can hit
55:31the fastball
55:32especially when it's
55:33down the heart
55:33of the plate
55:34good piece of
55:35hitting right there
