00:00:22From inside Rogers Center in downtown Toronto, the show brings you a matchup of division
00:00:29rivals. It's the Tampa Bay Rays and the Toronto Blue Jays. Alright, we'll be back to get this
00:00:37one started after this. And the starter for Toronto, Treyasavage. Chris, it's a little
00:00:47more common these days, but still, he's a strikeout per inning type of guy. Well, I hear
00:00:52you about the strikeouts. A lot more guys striking out today, but when you consider having the
00:00:58ability to get that strikeout, particularly when you need it, a man on third, less than
00:01:01two outs. Situations where, yeah, maybe you're not a real high strikeout guy, but just knowing
00:01:07you have the swing and miss stuff in a big spot, I think it's real critical that he's got it.
00:01:15This one ripped, but foul to the right.
00:01:29Outside, that's a ball.
00:01:37Swing and a miss, struck him out. Went back to the fastball and it was effective. Now a look at
00:01:43Kevin Cash's
00:01:44lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays. This is a ball club that can really slug. Lots of homers, lots of
00:01:50extra
00:01:50base hits. And Chris, that, of course, a huge part of success in the standings for this group.
00:01:55In today's game, hitting with power is essential, Boog. With pitchers throwing 95 and a bob,
00:02:01stringing hits together is hard to do. So home runs and extra base hits are crucial. And that's
00:02:07exactly what they've been doing. Line drive, base hit.
00:02:15So they get a man aboard with a one-out single.
00:02:17How power is such a big part of the success that we see with the good teams in the league
00:02:22right now,
00:02:23and even in the postseason. Next is the designated hitter, Jonathan Aranda. Hitless in the series.
00:02:30He's 0 for nine. Aranda, in his third season, hitting third in the lineup, and he's been on a good
00:02:40run at the plate,
00:02:41hitting over 300 in his last 10 games.
00:02:48On the ground. Barger. Toss the second. What a double play that was.
00:02:54Hitting over. No runs, one hit, no errors, and no one left.
00:02:58Now the Blue Jays will get their chance. No score.
00:03:11We go to the bottom of the first, and on the mound for Tampa Bay in this one.
00:03:16Ryan Pepeo. Singing, he's kind of a road warrior, yeah?
00:03:20I definitely say so. You know, some guys shrink a little bit on the road.
00:03:24They're so used to just having the comforts of being at home and having the fans behind them,
00:03:28but this guy seems to thrive in adversity and being in some hostile environments.
00:03:34So when you have a player like this on your team that goes out there and competes,
00:03:38you definitely like your chances away from your home ballpark.
00:03:47And one fouled off.
00:03:57One-two bottom of the first. The pitch.
00:04:02Swing and a line drive, and that one's a base hit out of the left center field.
00:04:06Around first. Digging for two.
00:04:09Relay throw to second. Not in time. That's a leadoff double.
00:04:13A swing like that can help you come out of this struggle.
00:04:16We saw the numbers coming into the ball game.
00:04:19But all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win.
00:04:23Vladimir Guerrero Jr. now.
00:04:27In the dirt. Blocked.
00:04:34The 1-0.
00:04:36Hey!
00:04:41Runner in scoring position.
00:04:43Nobody out.
00:04:44Here in the third and final game of the series.
00:04:47Hit hard on the ground is short.
00:04:49One gone bottom half of the first.
00:04:53Let's take a look at the lineup for the Blue Jays.
00:04:56And it's clear the most important job they have today
00:04:59is getting to the starting pitcher early and often.
00:05:02No doubt about that.
00:05:03That's the best way to disrupt a game.
00:05:05But can they do it?
00:05:06Certainly something for us to pay attention to in this one, partner.
00:05:10He's on the verge of a milestone.
00:05:12His next home run will be the 300th of his career.
00:05:16Man at second.
00:05:18Oh, he can't hang on.
00:05:21Gets off a throw.
00:05:23But it's not in time.
00:05:24Base hit.
00:05:25Just a good job putting the ball in play.
00:05:27And then bust it down the first baseline.
00:05:29Beat the throw pretty easily.
00:05:31That's one of those you classify as just too hot to handle.
00:05:34Hit it on the screws and it couldn't be fielded cleanly.
00:05:37But you can't really blame the defense in that case.
00:05:42Ball one.
00:05:43No strikes.
00:05:44Yeah, making it to 100 homers would be quite the career accomplishment for him.
00:05:49Nope, that's a ball.
00:05:49Out of the more than 20,000 players to take in it bat in the majors,
00:05:53less than 5% have ever hit 100 dingers.
00:05:56Ernie Clement on deck for the Blue Jays.
00:06:01The last thing he wants is to hit the ball on the ground.
00:06:04But I wouldn't expect many pitches up in the zone.
00:06:06They'll be pitching for a double play in this spot.
00:06:08And that'll load the bases.
00:06:11Now it's the second baseman.
00:06:13Ernie Clement.
00:06:14Gold opportunity right here.
00:06:17Knee high.
00:06:17That's in for a strike.
00:06:24That clips the corner.
00:06:25So now it's all about protect mode.
00:06:27Try to shorten up.
00:06:28Try to track the ball.
00:06:30Block it if you have to as far as just a late swing.
00:06:33Then maybe you're not sure.
00:06:34Ah, ground ball.
00:06:35And that's through the infield.
00:06:36One runs in.
00:06:38Runner at third.
00:06:40Puts on the brakes.
00:06:41Base is still loaded.
00:06:42And still only one away.
00:06:44Well, the strike first as he gets the job done to bring home the run.
00:06:48He got that front foot down and pitch recognition was on point.
00:06:52Pretty impressive for an 0-2 count.
00:06:57That's a ball.
00:07:04Traffic on the bases with one already in here in the rubber match of this three-game series.
00:07:10Felley left that changeup up.
00:07:12Got away with one there.
00:07:13And he'll take it, but doesn't want to make that mistake again.
00:07:16Oh, he doesn't get the call.
00:07:18Ball two.
00:07:22And that one fouled off.
00:07:31Chase is swaying.
00:07:32Now it appears to third.
00:07:33No, he held off.
00:07:37Base is loaded.
00:07:39One away.
00:07:40He fouls it off.
00:07:42We'll do it again.
00:07:49On the ground right side.
00:07:52And that's just foul.
00:07:58Ball.
00:07:59Ball four and a run comes in to score.
00:08:02He's really gotten himself into a mess out there and now forces home a run with the wall.
00:08:07This inning's definitely getting away from him.
00:08:08And next is the designated hitter, Davis Schneider.
00:08:12Ball.
00:08:13In the dirt.
00:08:15Wow.
00:08:15That's a great job behind the dish there.
00:08:20Well, all eyes on the double play ball in this spot.
00:08:23No better way to get out of this inning.
00:08:25Swing and this one's bounced to the ground.
00:08:27The play.
00:08:28There's one on the first save.
00:08:30So they get one, but a really nice try there.
00:08:34I promise you, they're guys that get a little bit faster when they can smell an RBI.
00:08:38That was a possible inning-ending double play.
00:08:40Great hustle, but he gets rewarded with the RBI because of it.
00:08:47That one the other way.
00:08:49And foul ball.
00:08:58Two on, two outs.
00:09:01Swing and a foul straight back.
00:09:11That's foul off to the right side.
00:09:13Keeps the A-B going.
00:09:20Fights it off.
00:09:21He'll see another.
00:09:25And that skips in the dirt.
00:09:38Good job to fight that one off.
00:09:40Five foul balls in this at bat so far.
00:09:43And these two are going head-to-head.
00:09:45You can see the crowd.
00:09:46They're starting to get into it a little bit more and more each pitch.
00:09:49Even though there hasn't been a ball in play yet.
00:09:52The 2-2.
00:09:54And he grounds one to the right side.
00:09:58Sends it to first.
00:09:59Inning ends.
00:10:00And that stops the bleeding.
00:10:02Three runs for him here.
00:10:04And they move ahead.
00:10:05We move to the second in Toronto.
00:10:07Toronto leads this one.
00:10:10Back here at Rogers Center.
00:10:12New inning getting started.
00:10:13But off to a great start.
00:10:15Free run lead after their first inning.
00:10:17But so important to be airtight defensively.
00:10:19Don't give away extra outs and allow that other club to get back in this ballgame.
00:10:24A 3-0 lead is great.
00:10:25But you can't get too comfortable.
00:10:27Got to stay aggressive.
00:10:28Keep attacking hitters.
00:10:29Try to cruise through this ballgame.
00:10:37And that one fouled off.
00:10:40These hitters like this that have so much power look forward to seeing them hit the ball a long way.
00:10:45But if you're in the stands, or you're in a broadcast booth, or you're a writer, better keep your eye
00:10:50on the game.
00:10:51Right through there for a strike.
00:11:01Swings.
00:11:02Throw it in.
00:11:02And that's a strikeout.
00:11:04Well, that's the effect of the splitter that you're looking for on the mound.
00:11:07Really nice pitch right there.
00:11:08And had him out in front over the top.
00:11:10I'm sure the batter was thinking he was getting something else.
00:11:12Perhaps a fastball a little more straight and velo to it.
00:11:17Jake Fraley next to hit for the Rays.
00:11:19Sat out last night's game, but back in there today.
00:11:37Liner caught in second.
00:11:39It's never fun going back to the dugout after hitting a line drive that finds a glove.
00:11:43But you will get some high fives.
00:11:44You know, when you make great contact, you feel like you've done everything right.
00:11:48But in this game of baseball, not everything is in your control.
00:11:57Not sure if he was expecting for the pitcher to come right at him, but he got a nice cookie
00:12:01there and just watched it the entire way.
00:12:09Fall off.
00:12:10Foul.
00:12:18Chew down.
00:12:19Nobody on.
00:12:22Right through there.
00:12:24Got him.
00:12:24That K is his third of the game.
00:12:27Nothing to do for Tampa.
00:12:28They trail in this one.
00:12:29Three-nothing.
00:12:34Bottom of the inning.
00:12:36And now for the Jays.
00:12:37Leo Jimenez.
00:12:39Leo Jimenez.
00:12:43Up the middle.
00:12:45And it finds its way through for a hit.
00:12:49And a man up forward.
00:12:52Well, clearly he was ready to hit right there.
00:12:54Really nice job staying at the middle with his approach.
00:12:56He didn't try to do too much with the pitch.
00:12:58Just shot it through the infield.
00:13:03Rudder, rudder, rudder.
00:13:04Rudder takes off in the dirt.
00:13:08Throw, save.
00:13:10That's a stolen base.
00:13:22Man at second.
00:13:25Up the middle.
00:13:27To first.
00:13:28That's one out at the bottom of the second.
00:13:32First of all, that's just a nice job to even get to that ball.
00:13:36And then even more impressive was the throw.
00:13:38Off balance.
00:13:39Had to try to, in the air, get his shoulders turned and make a strong throw.
00:13:44Does show off the strength of the arm.
00:13:45We're usually used to seeing that kind of arm strength from the shortstop.
00:13:48Guerrero.
00:13:49The next hit.
00:13:49Takes low for a ball.
00:13:52Breaking ball in there for a strike.
00:13:55Patrick Johnson calling the balls and strikes.
00:13:57Pretty standard zone for Johnson.
00:13:59Sometimes he might get a little jumpy, a little excited to expand the zone.
00:14:04But usually you at least feel like the pitcher on the mound is earning it.
00:14:07And that's important because you've got to make players earn it.
00:14:10Ground ball right side.
00:14:12Over to Diaz.
00:14:13Now two away as they get a run across.
00:14:22And in the back of his mind, he's got to be thinking about home run number 300.
00:14:26He's sitting on 299 right now.
00:14:29Foul ball.
00:14:36A one down.
00:14:40And a foul ball.
00:14:50Stays alive.
00:15:04Bounce to the left side.
00:15:05Williams.
00:15:06Now the throw to first on the run.
00:15:08Nicely done for the out.
00:15:11We head on now to the top of the third.
00:15:13It's the Blue Jays for the Rays nothing.
00:15:16But it's an AL East back shop here on MLB The Show.
00:15:21Welcome back.
00:15:22Let's take a look at how the series has played out so far.
00:15:25Nick.
00:15:26Four away.
00:15:36Edge of the zone for a strike.
00:15:38It's 0-1.
00:15:39Fortes with a homer in his last game.
00:15:48No question about this one.
00:15:51It's out of here.
00:15:56His fourth home run of the season.
00:15:59And they're on the board.
00:16:00It's 4-1.
00:16:03Chris, he's homered in back-to-back games now.
00:16:06Yep.
00:16:06Seeing the ball well.
00:16:07And he's got his timing locked in.
00:16:09He's looking pretty dangerous at the dish right now.
00:16:11Just an excellent swing all the way around.
00:16:14And it had that sound coming off the bat that gets everyone's attention.
00:16:18Got a pitch to drive.
00:16:19Short to the baseball.
00:16:20Squared it up.
00:16:21And the backspin carried it out of here.
00:16:33There's a strike.
00:16:34The great players find a way to come through in the clutch, Boo.
00:16:37Think about this.
00:16:39Ten different players hit at least 11 walk-off homers in their career.
00:16:43And nine of them are in the Hall of Fame.
00:16:45If he keeps it up long enough, he just may join them.
00:16:50Nobody on, nobody out with a run in.
00:16:53We're here in the top half of inning number three.
00:16:58High fly ball down the left field line.
00:17:00Sanchez ranging back up against the wall and brings it in.
00:17:09That's a really nice job right there.
00:17:11Great awareness making the catch up against the wall.
00:17:14You see the perfect technique.
00:17:16Feeling for the wall with the bare hand.
00:17:18While keeping his eyes on the baseball as it's coming down.
00:17:22His glove in a good position to make the catch.
00:17:24That's exactly how you do it.
00:17:30You'll want.
00:17:34And strike two.
00:17:35Well, it's clear they're struggling with pitch selection today.
00:17:38Swinging it off speed stuff, off the plate.
00:17:41They need to be more patient and wait for the right pitch.
00:17:43Not just the next pitch.
00:17:47Swings and misses.
00:17:48And that's four strikeouts.
00:17:51He's really good hitting the baseball the other way.
00:17:54So credit the pitcher for having him out in front of that pitch.
00:17:56Clearly he had him full.
00:17:58The second baseman.
00:17:58So the Rays batting order turns over.
00:18:01And now it's Gavin Lux.
00:18:08This one's driven.
00:18:09Deep center field.
00:18:10On its way.
00:18:11Home run.
00:18:17It's their second home run of the inning.
00:18:19And they cut into the lead.
00:18:21It's 4-2.
00:18:23That was blasted.
00:18:25Absolutely.
00:18:26No doubt off the bat.
00:18:32Does an excellent job of getting his arms extended to get the fat part of the bat to the baseball.
00:18:38Wrists do not roll over.
00:18:39They stay through the zone and on playing.
00:18:42Excellent swing.
00:18:52Right through there for a strike.
00:19:03Little bit low.
00:19:04Nobody on his team is a better batting average than he does, Ziggy.
00:19:12That one finds the zone.
00:19:14One and two.
00:19:16Bases empty.
00:19:17Two away.
00:19:18But two runs are in.
00:19:19Here in the rubber match of this three-game series.
00:19:22Got him looking.
00:19:24Now five strikeouts for him in the mouth.
00:19:27But two round trippers in this inning.
00:19:29The long ball was working.
00:19:31It's now 4-2.
00:19:33It's an AL East matchup here on MLB The Show.
00:19:37You a 10-year.
00:19:39You a 10-year new kid.
00:19:40Back now in Toronto.
00:19:41And now for the Jays.
00:19:43Addison Barger.
00:19:44Addison.
00:19:46Barger.
00:19:48I think this is an important inning on the mound for him in this game.
00:19:52He's got to find a way to settle things down and give some length in this start.
00:19:58Next offering in there for a strike.
00:20:01That strike two.
00:20:02Well, he had a pretty good look at that pitch and not sure exactly what tied him up there.
00:20:06Couldn't pull the trigger.
00:20:08And perhaps the best pitch you'll see in this at-bat to hit.
00:20:12Just misses.
00:20:13Ball one.
00:20:15Good slider down and in can be so hard to get on playing with.
00:20:19You're better off taking that pitch.
00:20:20Keeps the at-bat going with a foul ball.
00:20:31And that skips in the dirt.
00:20:38Missed with a changeup.
00:20:40Ball three.
00:20:40Ball three.
00:20:42Ball three.
00:20:43Ball three.
00:20:52Ball three.
00:20:54Ball three.
00:20:56Ball three.
00:20:59Ball three.
00:21:01Ball three.
00:21:04Ball three.
00:21:06Ball three.
00:21:07Ball three.
00:21:09Ball three.
00:21:10Ball three.
00:21:10Ball three.
00:21:17knocks that one away and we'll do it again he hasn't gotten the result yet but
00:21:21he's got to feel pretty confident three foul balls in a row he's right on this
00:21:25pitcher struck him out swinging he didn't make it easy for him on the mound
00:21:32but they still get the strikeout man that slider bearing in your hands like
00:21:36that it's just so tough to fight off it's kind of like a cutter and just can
00:21:40eat you up saw you all tell you what hitters have nightmares about that
00:21:44pitch perfectly executed out there on the mound grounds one to short and two
00:21:50straight set down to begin the bottom of the third up next for the Blue Jays the
00:21:56left fielder hey hey Sue Sanchez now at the plate
00:22:08that's down and in a slider missed
00:22:16check swing called strike strike one
00:22:29and that one missing inside a sharp slider and that's a pitch early in this game he
00:22:34needs called for a strike struggling with command issues he's got to get a little
00:22:39from the umpire that one lifted to left and that is that nothing doing for the
00:22:45offense that time three innings complete it's the Blue Jays for the raised out of
00:22:52the fourth at the plate now for the raise is the DH Jonathan Arunda
00:23:01you savage back to work that one finds the zone that strike one well these Rays as
00:23:09this game goes on have to be more disciplined at the plate they're chasing a
00:23:13lot of pitches outside the zone and those chases that are turning into a bunch of
00:23:17bouts can they turn that around and stay within the zone we'll see but I think
00:23:21they have to 1-1 now
00:23:25ball that's outside
00:23:34that's a bullet but it goes foul look out that ball smoked man I am so relieved that
00:23:41they have this netting down the lines just ensure safety for the fans last thing as a
00:23:45player you want to look up and see a fan get hit grab ball up the middle
00:23:49clement that's the first out in the top of the fourth up next for Tampa Bay the
00:23:58third baseman at number 13 junior
00:24:24fourth up next for Tampa Bay the Blue Jays up by two top half of inning number four that one
00:24:45catches the zone and the count is even two and two
00:24:56sets him down on strikes so he picks up his six strike out of the ball game well
00:25:02executed pitch on the outside part of the plate
00:25:10two outs base is empty Jake Fraley next to hit for the Rays
00:25:19slapped foul
00:25:32and there's a strike good heater at 98
00:25:46battling here as he fouls it away
00:25:58this one in the air center field Springer should have this one and that'll do it
00:26:06nothing across here this half to the bottom of inning number four now it's the Blue Jays for the Rays
00:26:12to this is
00:26:15bottom four now it's the Toronto designated hitter David Schneider
00:26:28here's a high chopper
00:26:31over to Diaz one pitch and one out
00:26:35up next for the Blue Jays the right fielder number three
00:26:51and the first half goesали
00:26:53here's the
00:26:55they're talking about the
00:26:55the 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
00:26:56-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 in the game
00:26:56one out and made a trade for him last season hard ground ball base dot
00:27:03So a man aboard now with one away
00:27:08Up next for the Blue Jays fell back in trouble boo. It's just been like this for most of the
00:27:14game
00:27:15They've been all over him since his first pitch
00:27:17And I think he's got a very short leash right now really needs to lock it down here
00:27:23Leo Jimenez
00:27:24run around the goal
00:27:26And a base hit into right around second on his way to third and they'll have runners at the corners
00:27:32after a one-ounce
00:27:33Single didn't take long to get a result for that at bat anytime you rip a line drive the other
00:27:38way
00:27:38You feel really good about what you did at the plate. You trusted your hands
00:27:42You let the ball travel and you took the barrel straight to it. That's great work right there
00:27:51That one at the knees for a strike
00:27:57The Jays tried to break this one over in the bottom of the fourth
00:28:08That's a base hit run scores
00:28:14Picks himself up at RBI nice job of driving that pitch the other way on the line
00:28:20You know hitters they take so many reps in the cages working on going to the opposite field and it
00:28:24doesn't always
00:28:25Translate into the game, but right there it did and he did it perfectly
00:28:29Gladdy oh the next to hit takes ball one well
00:28:32He's just giving up three straight hits and now behind in this count to this hitter might be a good
00:28:37time for
00:28:37Somebody to call a timeout. Maybe the pitching coach go out there and talk to him just a little bit
00:28:47Two on one out
00:28:49Good spot for the hitter definitely has the advantage in this count with runners on look for him to be
00:28:54aggressive on this next pitch
00:28:59Next one misses and that's ball three
00:29:11Next offering is found back
00:29:16Back to work 3-2 now and they're all loaded or pick it down. That's a tough one to take
00:29:21on the full count
00:29:22But I guess he saw it really well. It's a really nice plate appearance
00:29:41Number four
00:29:41This one in the dirt and well done to keep it close
00:29:51That's in for a strike
00:30:01Out of line out towards center
00:30:03Brings it in
00:30:04Runner tagging from third
00:30:07One run across
00:30:09That play really shows how important it is to hit the cutoff man
00:30:13Looked like he tried to throw through and get the runner at home, but it backfired
00:30:17And it ended up costing them a run
00:30:19I remember my rookie year overthrowing the cutoff man didn't last long before I was pulled aside by a veteran
00:30:25pitcher
00:30:26He had a talk with me. I don't know if I ever missed a cutoff man again
00:30:31Two on two outs and another ball
00:30:43On the ground right side it's in and out of his glove, but they get the out at first and
00:30:49that'll do it for the inning
00:30:50We played for it's the Blue Jays six the Rays two
00:30:58Back here at Rogers Center and stepping in for the Rays Chandler Simpson
00:31:12Over 80% of his first pitches or strikes you're doing that you can have a really good day out
00:31:18there in the mound
00:31:25Line drive base hit right field man aboard on the leadoff single
00:31:34Up next for Tampa Bay the catcher number 40 nick for
00:31:46Swing and a miss
00:31:48Well these Rays just lacking discipline at the plate in this ballgame
00:31:52They've been chasing pitches outside the zone all game and it's led to some frustrating moments
00:31:57They've been fooled quite a bit today. You'll one
00:32:02Yeah, that's fouled off
00:32:17Grounder might be two
00:32:19Fires to second for one to Guerrero and they turn two
00:32:23Oh, man, what a smooth double play. That was a thing of beauty from start to finish
00:32:30Base is empty after the double play Cedric Mullins the next to hit he's all for one
00:32:42I just think
00:32:43The lack of drawing any walks is an indication that they need to be a little more selective and less
00:32:48anxious about forcing something to happen
00:32:52Fastball first strike
00:33:01Two down nobody on and we're at the top of the fifth
00:33:08Close but call the ball ball to I thought that was a strike and here's a challenge
00:33:15It's just shave the zone they'll keep both their challenges
00:33:24But want to
00:33:28Sit down on strikes picks up strikeout number seven rays held in check here. They still trail it here. It's
00:33:36six to two
00:33:40Now pitching for the new arm out of the bullpen and seymour
00:33:44Definitely a guy that pounds the strike zone makes hitters earn their way on base and rarely gets in trouble
00:33:50because of free passes
00:33:51Leading up for Toronto the second baseman
00:33:56All one no strikes well these jays putting together some really good at bats in this game
00:34:02There's been a lot to like with how they're approaching their chances at the plate
00:34:05It looked to me like they really wanted to get to the starter early get him out of the game
00:34:10before he settles in so I'd say mission accomplished
00:34:14Swing and a foul out of play
00:34:23One two
00:34:34Fouls that off to the left and we'll do it again
00:34:45On the ground and it stays fair
00:34:49And a good start to the inning
00:35:11That one's in there strike one and even if they don't want to make it a habit of falling behind
00:35:16They're doing a great job of making the most out of it. I think that's contagious throughout the lineup
00:35:23And a good start to
00:35:24Comes up empty that strike two
00:35:31Foul ball still low and two
00:35:44Fights it off you'll see another
00:35:51Going chew down
00:35:53Breaking ball in there got him looking one away
00:35:58The designated hitter digging in davis schneider
00:36:05Hey
00:36:14Ball that's inside
00:36:18Clement over at first with one away
00:36:23On the ground could be two
00:36:25Lux for one double play and that'll do it for the inning
00:36:30One hit in the inning but nothing more than that we're through five
00:36:33It's the blue jays six the rays two it's an al east matchup here on mlb the show
00:36:44Welcome back as we look at the highlights from today's game so far
00:36:48You are looking at the car
00:36:49What the A&D meant peep on the mall
00:36:52The rest is history you know we took it mad far
00:36:55Rap dude traveled the world like natchio
00:36:58Worked myself through the matrix of black neo
00:37:00Got real had to back torpedo
00:37:03No
00:37:04Break red with your own people
00:37:06You made peace with the
00:37:08Then I couldn't change
00:37:09And took responsibility instead of passing plane
00:37:12Anything less lame
00:37:14You sent your five dollars down for it
00:37:17Carson Williams digs in down
00:37:20Carson Williams
00:37:32That misses and that is ball walk
00:37:40Hey
00:37:52Ball two
00:38:00A little out front there as he swings through it
00:38:03Man that's just a nasty splitter bottom falls out of it
00:38:07You don't see a lot of guys throw that these days
00:38:09But I tell you what he's got a good one
00:38:10Ball three
00:38:10Pitch misses and now it's three and two
00:38:13Challenge from behind the dish here
00:38:16And that one did find the strike zone
00:38:19Still two challenges left for them
00:38:23Up next to Tampa Bay
00:38:25The second baseman
00:38:26Gavin
00:38:27Wow
00:38:33Just a beautiful backdoor slider right there
00:38:35If you've got any chance of hitting that pitch
00:38:37You'd have to wait until the absolutely last millisecond
00:38:41Just a tough pitch to hit and not an easy one to throw either
00:38:48The Blue Jays
00:38:49The Blue Jays leading by four
00:38:51And we're in the top half of the sixth
00:38:55That one almost got him
00:39:09Ground ball off the middle that's a base hit
00:39:13So they get a man aboard with a one-out single
00:39:20Up next for Tampa Bay
00:39:22The play on the dns next to him for the Rays
00:39:25One for two
00:39:41And a base hit in the right center field
00:39:47Makes the turn at second
00:39:49Heads for third
00:39:50The relay throw
00:39:51And he's out easily
00:39:57In this situation with a single to right field
00:40:00The runner at first cannot try to make it to third
00:40:02You've got to get back into this ball game
00:40:04And every base runner counts
00:40:15Line drive
00:40:17And foul ball
00:40:35That one finds the zone
00:40:37That is strike two
00:40:38And Chris his home run numbers this season are good enough to rank him in the top ten in the
00:40:43league
00:40:47Here's the 0-2
00:40:49That's out
00:40:58Cut on and missed
00:41:00Struck him out
00:41:01With number nine for him in this game
00:41:04Nine
00:41:06It's the Blue Jays six
00:41:07The Rays two
00:41:12Bottom of the sixth inning
00:41:14And now for the Jays
00:41:15Myles Straw
00:41:22Bunch attempt but that goes foul
00:41:24In boot
00:41:25This guy keeps finding his way around the bases and eventually scoring
00:41:29It's always fun running into the dugout and high-fiving your teammates after touching home plate
00:41:34He's out
00:41:34And he's done a lot of that lately
00:41:36Lux throws to first in time
00:41:38Leadoff man retired in the sixth
00:41:48Ball one, no strikes
00:41:57Nope, that's a ball
00:42:08That smash towards center
00:42:11Reaching for it
00:42:12Reaching for it and brings it in
00:42:14Man, that's one of those at-bats where you have to remind yourself
00:42:17It's about the process
00:42:19He did everything right right there
00:42:21Nothing to show for it
00:42:22But in your mind you have to convince yourself that it was a very good at-bat
00:42:27Comeback earned to the mound
00:42:30There with plenty of time and that ends the inning
00:42:33Nothing doing for the Blue Jays
00:42:34They lead it six to two
00:42:39On the mound now
00:42:40Jimmy Garcia
00:42:41And he's got a nice lead to work with
00:42:43So he should come in throwing strikes
00:42:45Attacking these hitters
00:42:48Here's the third baseman
00:42:49Junior Caminero
00:42:50Who's over two with a pair of strikeouts
00:42:58Right through there for a strike
00:43:00No need to offer that pitch until you get to two strikes
00:43:03It's just a low percentage of success when you want to try to go after that down and away pitch
00:43:12Next offering in there for a strike
00:43:14No balls two strikes
00:43:25Fouled off the plate
00:43:26They'll do it again
00:43:36The 0-2
00:43:38Ball
00:43:47Comes up empty as he chases that one in the dirt
00:43:51In time to get him one away in the strikeout
00:43:54They've had a great plan of attack for him tonight
00:43:56I mean finding all the holes in his swing and his approach
00:43:59Just frustrating for him up there
00:44:01You strike out a guy three times in a game
00:44:03I think that guy's got to go back and really study some video with his hitting coach
00:44:07Figure out how they're beating him
00:44:09Make this adjustment really quick because word will get around the league in a hurry
00:44:12Yeah
00:44:15The Jays leading by four
00:44:17They're the top half of inning number seven
00:44:23And a base hit up the middle
00:44:27So a man aboard now with one away
00:44:31Up next for Tampa Bay
00:44:32The left
00:44:33And stepping in for the Rays
00:44:35Chandler Simpson
00:44:52Here comes the 0-1
00:44:55On the ground right side
00:44:57Guerrero to second
00:44:58Double play
00:44:59What a quick killing to end the inning
00:45:03Starting to run out of outs as they're unable to chip away
00:45:06Seventh inning stretch time
00:45:08It's the Blue Jays six
00:45:09The Rays two
00:45:10It's an AL East matchup here on
00:45:15Welcome back
00:45:16Taking a look at our game zone
00:45:17The first baseman
00:45:18What a man
00:45:20Give it a roll
00:45:21Give it a roll
00:45:22Give it a roll
00:45:22Give it a roll
00:45:23Off the chain off the hook
00:45:27Ball
00:45:29SCC
00:45:31SCC
00:45:32SCC
00:45:34SCC
00:45:34Hard hit to third
00:45:38Safe at first as they can't make the play
00:45:42Up next for the Blue Jays
00:45:44What's better fielder
00:45:45Number four
00:45:47Joe
00:45:49Springer
00:46:03He swings and fouls one off
00:46:09Guerrero gets his lead at first nobody out
00:46:13Got him looking
00:46:14And there's one away
00:46:15No, that's not the best two strike fastball I've seen
00:46:18But it certainly got away with the location there
00:46:20You know sometimes as a hitter when you're down in the count
00:46:23You're so focused on a pitcher paint in the black
00:46:26And you just get a little bit locked up on something down the heart of the plate
00:46:30Not ex
00:46:30Oh gets dirty
00:46:31The feed for one
00:46:33To first not in time
00:46:35Great effort there
00:46:37Well as an infielder you have to be ready for anything
00:46:40In that spot it required going to the ground getting a little dirty and making a strong
00:46:51Go for the out great play
00:46:56Clement in the box as he fouls off the first pitch
00:47:06Ball on there
00:47:15Out towards left center
00:47:18And makes the grab
00:47:20And that is that
00:47:22One error in the inning but it doesn't hurt him
00:47:24Eighth inning coming up it's the Blue Jays six the Rays two
00:47:30Welcome back and a new arm on the mound to start the eight Brendan Little
00:47:34He last pitched two days ago
00:47:42Nick Fortes getting ready to hit he's already homered in this game
00:47:51That misses and that's ball one
00:48:00Tap foul at the plate
00:48:11In the air left field
00:48:14Pulls it in on the run
00:48:16And there's one away
00:48:18Just pulled off of it a little bit right there that front shoulder coming open instead of staying closed
00:48:24If he does that he's going to be able to go up the middle the other way with some authority
00:48:28instead of a fly out to left
00:48:34Looks like he sacrificed to pitch right down the middle for tracking and timing some good hitters will do that
00:48:40The Rays down by four and we're at the top of the eighth
00:48:45That one well upstairs
00:48:47One ball one strike movement in the Blue Jays bullpen
00:48:50Tyler Rogers the right-handed sinker baller he looks to be readying himself
00:48:57Nope that's off the plate ball two
00:49:06Swing and a ground ball up the middle that's a base hit
00:49:16The batter number one down so next to the plate for Tampa Bay Carson Williams
00:49:40The 0-1 on the ground the third stops it on a slide
00:49:45There's one on the first save so they get one but a really nice try there
00:49:52The second baseman Gavin
00:49:54Right down to shoot strike one
00:50:21Ripped to short inning over
00:50:26It's the Blue Jays six the Rays two
00:50:32Back at the ballpark as we take a check of the bullpen so far this season
00:50:47Ball one
00:50:55That's a ball
00:51:04And that's in the dirt and now three and oh
00:51:13That one misses so a lead off walk second walk of the game for him and he's been really patient
00:51:21to play a game
00:51:26Here comes a skipper out of the dugout and he's ready to make the move
00:51:41Now pitching for the so out of the pan comes the right-hander Edwin usada win well, he struggled quite
00:51:47a bit
00:51:47So this is another opportunity to get on the right track
00:51:50He's given up more than one hit per inning pitch so far this season
00:51:54He's given up more than one hit per inning
00:51:58Hey
00:52:01Sanchez aboard here at first with nobody out
00:52:16That one is absolutely belching
00:52:21And it's into the gap
00:52:24Sanchez around third relay throw home
00:52:27Tag
00:52:27Not in time
00:52:29He's safe
00:52:29It's 72
00:52:31Comes through with the RBI
00:52:33When you connect and it jumps off your bat like that
00:52:36You're thinking double at the very least
00:52:38Put a great swing on it and man he wasn't fooled at all
00:52:41Runner and scoring position no outs
00:52:44Miles strong next up for the Blue Jays
00:52:47Hey
00:52:53One on nobody out a run in here the bottom half of the eighth inning
00:52:580-2 Cal both pitches on the inside part of the plate hitter is thinking
00:53:02I don't want to get beat here
00:53:03This is a good time for something off speed away
00:53:07Spoils the two-strike pitch and he'll see another
00:53:15That's a ball
00:53:17That's a ball
00:53:28That's foul off to the right side keeps the A.B. going
00:53:36Man at second
00:53:38This one in the air right field
00:53:41And that one is foul
00:53:42So we'll try it again
00:53:49One two now
00:53:51Softly hit the third Caminero
00:53:55One short hop to the first can't come up with it he's safe
00:54:01Man that was a great effort to lunge and pick that one at first
00:54:05The throw was way short but he almost bailed him out just couldn't get it to stick in the mid
00:54:15Right through there for a strike
00:54:25Yeah, that's it for a strike
00:54:27Yeah, the count is 0-2
00:54:29Jimenez
00:54:30Wants another look at the called strike it's a challenge and that one was indeed a strike
00:54:36That knocks them down to one challenge left
00:54:43Stays alive
00:54:52Swing and a miss struck him out
00:54:54Well, you see him trying to pull that inside pitch right there
00:54:56And that's not the kind of approach that you want to have
00:54:59Even if you do get to it, it's going to be very difficult to keep it fair
00:55:03You're just going to make it a long strike at best
00:55:06You have to be able to stay within the baseball on the inside of that path
00:55:10Williams
00:55:10Off balance feet
00:55:12There's one
00:55:13What a double play that was
00:55:15Inning over
00:55:16The Jays push across a run on this double
00:55:19Last chance for the Rays coming up
00:55:24We're back it's the top of the ninth
00:55:26And there's a new pitcher on the mound
00:55:28Tyler Rogers
00:55:29And you know bullpen guys can struggle sometimes when they're called upon with big leads because
00:55:34It just doesn't have the same intensity as a tight game
00:55:37So we'll see how sharp he is
00:55:39Your mental toughness matters in situations like this as well
00:55:43That one drilled left field
00:55:45No, that ball
00:55:46And foul ball
00:55:59Ball that ball
00:56:14Right through there for a strike
00:56:27Up the middle
00:56:29That's a base hit
00:56:30And the leadoff man aboard
00:56:38Now it's the D.H.
00:56:40Jonathan Aranda
00:56:410-4-3 in this one
00:56:46Hey
00:56:46Well, they've kept him pretty quiet in this series
00:56:48Still doesn't have a knock
00:56:50I know
00:56:50You want to get that first knock out of the way
00:56:52Maybe more will come
00:56:53But you got to give some credit to the pitching staff
00:56:55They've had a great plan against
00:56:57And ball one
00:56:58Meanwhile
00:56:59Activity in the bullpen
00:57:01Jeff Hoffman
00:57:02A right-hander with big strikeout stuff
00:57:04Is getting it fired up
00:57:11That one finds the zone
00:57:13Gonna count one and two
00:57:14The Blue Jays
00:57:16Leading by five
00:57:17Here at the top of the ninth
00:57:24That one misses
00:57:25There are now two balls
00:57:27And two strikes
00:57:33Keeps the effect going
00:57:35With a foul ball
00:57:36So glad these ballparks
00:57:38Have installed the netting
00:57:40To protect the fans
00:57:41Keep things safer
00:57:42All around the league
00:57:49Swing and a ball wide to center
00:57:52One down
00:57:57Up next to Tampa Bay
00:57:59The third base number 13
00:58:01Junior
00:58:02Coming here
00:58:03All
00:58:04All
00:58:04And
00:58:18Diaz leads off first with one away.
00:58:25They tried to get him to chase on a slider down and away.
00:58:35Here's a 1-1.
00:58:38That one fouled off.
00:58:50Here's a 1-2.
00:58:52Sets him down looking.
00:58:54Down to the last out for the Rays.
00:58:57Caminero wants to challenge this.
00:59:00Thought it was a ball.
00:59:01And it's going to stay a strike.
00:59:03One challenge remaining for them now.
00:59:05So, they're down to their final out.
00:59:07So, next to the plate for Tampa Bay, Jake Fraley.
00:59:11One for three.
00:59:19Up the middle.
00:59:20And that one finds its way through.
00:59:23And out to a board.
00:59:26Over to third, but the throw's offline.
00:59:32Up next.
00:59:32Once you get the ball by the pitcher, there's a lot of base hits up the middle, even on ground
00:59:36balls.
00:59:37So, a nice job to use that big hole and get himself a hit.
00:59:40One for two.
00:59:45One for three.
00:59:46One for three.
01:00:07center field. And he's got it. Ball game. And the Blue Jays with the rubber match of this three-game
01:00:14series.
01:00:16Whether you're a season ticket holder or you've just come to a couple of games a year, to see your
01:00:20team win at home,
01:00:21there's just something special about that. Good job by this team to get it done for the hometown fans.
01:01:07This paper get done. She was the most. I was with you. Mama didn't know. This might be the village.
01:01:12I never wrote. I got it. There's no evidence on my coat. So many fillers.
