The Show 23 MLB Marcus Stroman Chicago Cubs 마커스 스트로맨 시카고 컵스 (현 뉴욕 양키스)

hello Baseball fans and welcome Major League Baseball on tap it's the Chicago Cubs going up against the Pittsburgh Pirates first pitch coming at you right after the break just about ready to roll here and today's starter Mitch Keller power pitcher he's going to speed you up with the fastball velocity and out of his hand will explode the breaking ball very difficult for hitters to keep that front side closed and hit the ball the other way because they know if they're not ready to pull the trigger the fast ball will beat them and a foul [Applause] ball and the O2 hit on the ground to the right side Fair ball I'd say a mistake pitch in an 02 count too good of a pitch to hit right there you have to expand the Zone keep that leadoff man off first base swing and a ball popped up and that'll fall for a base hit the throw in the tag and he's out on the north side of Chicago John shabi and Chris Singleton in half up to hit [Applause] and he handles it himself for the out and up to the plate comes Cody Bellinger Line Drive swinski makes the grab and that's the inning back here at the Ballpark and our pitcher tonight it'll Marcus strowman he really relies on working down in the zone with that heavy Sinker he's got you know it's not as popular to throw that pitch today as it used to be because know guys are looking to hit balls down in the zone get them up in the air it's very important for him when facing samide hitters to be able to get it in especially early in the count and to opposite guys be able to throw it at that front hip and run it over the inside corner that misses one ball one strike stro a former first round pick out of back in 2012 when he was at Duke he actually was a two-way guy he played middle infield he still loves to Shag taking ground balls at short or third or second really good athlete got him swinging one down very frustrating right there as a speedy potential base runner when with two strikes you just struggle to put the ball in play you don't even have to get a hit at that point you can help your team just by reaching on an error but some way got to find a way to shorten up the swing and put the ball in play next time yeah this is a guy that goes out there every time looking to prove that height does not measure heart it's something that he has written on the bill of his cap often times when he's pitching this one high in the air to left Center hat squeezes it two away here's Andrew McCutchen to hit [Music] to the right side he takes it on his own that's out number three and one back here in Wrigley Field and now the right fielder SE Suzuki Keller back to work swing and a ground ball up the middle that's a base hit now batting Jam candelario swing and a highfly ball to left Reynolds makes the play and there's the one [Applause] away Dansby Swanson stands [Applause] in swings through that one oh and one one get a little frustrated with the strike zone it's Softly on the ground to Third and it's just foul that was close with two strikes may see some movement over there at first base try to stay out of a double play here line to right base hit lead Runner touches second headed for third right past his coach headed for the plate tag and he's out out at the play the tag and that's out number three inning over here at Wrigley Field bottom of the inning at the plate for Pittsburgh Jack swinski ball one no strikes strowman a former Allstar he features a sinker a slider a splitter a cutter and he works in a for seamer the one-1 slapped foul the one [Music] two gets a piece there we'll do it [Music] again and a pitch that's down and in that's a really good take right there slider down and in very difficult to get on the same plane and do anything with towards first he'll do it himself that's one out the bottom of the second now batting key Brian Hayes in the air fairly deep to right field makes the catch and they're two down so next to the plate for Pittsburgh Conor Joe first pitch and he just misses one ball no ST nothing nothing here in the bottom of the second next offering is in for a strike they say he win oneall two stries he goes down looking down in order all set for the start of the inning so up now for Chicago Jan Gomes bounce to the right and it goes just fouled that's off the mark and it's a ball a strike swing and a ball lifted to center field pulls it down and he makes the catch and there's one away here here's Nick madreal that's towards Center swinsky under it and it's caught for the out here's the center fielder number 40 one for one with a single so far and first offering is fouled off Keller 26 years old and he's one of the few players in Major League baseball born in Iowa and a pop up on the left side of the infield Hayes brings it in and that's the inning as we go to the last of the third here's the rookie right fielder Henry Davis and ball one swings and misses and it's one and one and there's a ball and the right-hander deals and a swing and a Miss Lead off man retired here in the third and now the catcher comes up to him Andy Rodriguez first pitch doesn't find the zone and that's downed away rander kicks deals and it is two and one there's a strike two ball two strik swings through it and that's a strikeout back to- back strikeouts to start the frame and that's now three in a row yeah he's really settling in and getting a feel for his pitches throwing him where he wants to right now so we'll see how long he can keep this streak going trying to keep good speed off the bases man he'd like to have that pitch [Applause] back the 02 got him looking Frozen with a back door [Applause] slider and welcome back here's ni horer and the pitch lays out but he can't squeeze it that leaves him without a throw and they come away without an doubt so digging in Ian hat 0 for one so [Music] far he swings and fouls one off Corner gets his lead at first nobody out if you're a base runner you got to stay dialed in here look for anything in the dirt try your best to get in the scoring [Applause] position flew open a little bit with that front shoulder but was able to slow his back down just enough to make contact with that pitch keep the bat alive swung on belted that's back there and it is gone Ian hat BPS one out of here and they throw a pair on the board it's two nothing [Music] [Applause] a good hitter gets pitch recognition early he saw exactly where that was going to be the challenge not get over anxious and come out of your swing he stayed on it and got all of it here's Cody Bellinger strike one 01 popped up he puts it in his pocket safe at first without a play on the north side of Chicago John chambi and Chris Singleton now it's the right fielder SE Suzuki and he swings and misses and it's nothing in war runner at first with no outs here swing and a miss and it's nothing in two two really good backto back sliders now an 02 count he's feeling real confident about finishing this hitter off he can go anywhere he wants next offering misses and that's ball one Bellinger goes hit pretty well in the air out to Center swinsky settles under it makes the grab one [Applause] down now a throw to first and he won't get back in time it's a double [Applause] play well we assume it but not all double plays are 64 threes or something like that right there it's just sort of a combination of good defense and poor base running and probably more of the ladder that's a big turn of events in this inning [Applause] though smoked on the ground a second over to Joe and that is that but two come across to score in the inning courtesy of this two-run Homer it's now a two nothing ball game you're dialed into the [Music] show O'Neal Cruz the next pirate to hit here comes a pitch they say you win it's good speed at the top of the order here you want to get it on see if you can get a stolen base maybe get around the bases and pick up a run next offering is fouled [Applause] back got it by him for the K well right now he's in cruise control autopilot just dominating these hitters I mean doesn't look like it's a fun at bat and all of a sudden you become in awe of this guy on the mound somebody's got to break this thing up that's five straight strikeouts got to put a ball in play [Music]
