[Music] so cool to see so many of the 84 Tigers back here today 40 years after winning it all in a dominant wire to wire run of the World Series it's a great Prelude to game two of the series between the Tigers on the Red Sox Tigers baseball coming up on here here on balet Sports presented by biger law with the Red Sox in front of a near capacity crowd on a Saturday night in downtown Detroit these tigers going to feed off that today first pitch from Terk scoble to Terk scoble going for his 16th win gets the soft ground ball off the slider and barely few the two to watch in this lineup slider Miss lefties and then Tyler O'Neal waiting on Deck has absolutely mashed going to get you out he is the toughest pitcher to hit by Ops in the major leagues pretty good chance he can get back into this at bat and he does with strike one I would shine into Shadows halfway to home this one has popped up tolson's got it two outs five and this is I think the really this is kind of a fascinating match up the end of the day here's a guy who does heavy damage early in the count you talk about making 73 at bats on one of the first two pitches of an at bat this one's deep to left and that ball is gone wow Tyler O'Neal hits his 25th and just like that Red Sox take a one- nothing [Applause] lead see he just goes with a slider at the bottom of the Zone comes back over towards the middle of the plate that's a good piece of hitting though you know to get down through a ball at the bottom of the Zone like that with a scoble slider and Remains the most dangerous hitter in this lineup bothered by his sword masataka Yoshida out of the lineup and TK scoel on the slider away gets Des on three pitches the O'Neal home run gives the we go to the bottom of the first inning trying to even up this series with the Red Sox at a game of piece Red Sox winning in 10 yes now the eight game hitting streak but it goes back farther than that fast ball at the belt of swinging Miss stumbling around trying to find the field when he came back up I mean he came back up with some conviction with some intensity and when he got hurt with the hamstring there that this young team everybody surrounding it is taking part in this one has popped up it's a long run for Roman Gonzalez and he's his second try got it I got it I don't got it no I got it that's incredibly quick hands on look how far this ball drops before he grabs it would you say like swipe at it I don't ever usually grab it like that no it's hitting the ground or going in the toilet depending on where you are look at this that's really good athlete this why I I call position the one1 to Riley green slider away but he's also going to give up a lot of flight balls fast ball away he'll work that two two there he goes up with the fast ball again Gonzalez again a long run and this time safely and that's just a matter of getting some more at bats Riley's always proven that when he goes into a little Funk he works his way out of it two two again o slider he pulled the string on that there's a pitch starts up obviously it's breaking a ton but you see you see like Riley whenever he pulls that front hip out how far around he's coming I mean it's It's just tough to stay on the ball you know like in Little League they say Keep Your Head on the ball don't pull your head out don't pull your head out sometimes you're trying to do a little too much when you're in a funk over swinging a little bit looks like he man feing fouls it to the screen Peta big improve makes a lot more first pitch strikes he been struggling a little bit lately he was shut down just his or shorter he was much closer to six earlier in the year beerling takes a lot of damage done early pulled the string sweeper breaks away from Beering a 1 two three first love to see there and I thought it was funny Terk sco talking about the windup when he has one of the most iconic wind ups we're going to be chatting with people from the 84 team players up in the suite all night long you guys it's going to be a fun night here at the Ballpark how about that yeah Sweeney knows that he's not going to be able to throw him out so he just assist over to Riley coaxes him Riley coaxes him in by not coming at it too quickly that sealed a uh uh 674 play 674 you don't see that very often change of Misses down and in so he breaks it down and gets out of there he lost his little uh oven mitt that kind of slowed him down by about that half step but nice play by Riley to get in there after the the ball went off Sweeny's glove softline Drive will be grabbed by McKenry let's go back down to Daniel I love Daniel Dan you know what was funny I showed him that highlight and he looks at me and goes oh I've seen this I'm about the wind up cuz his is great yeah he's got a very stylish windup that's right and Jack Morris and all the 1984 World Series team are here so many of them which is so cool that they were able to all gather for this weekend they're all corated through this organization for a long time we'll be talking about that throughout the game tonight that's a soft ground ball off the change up Danny J till the late Innings of last night they'd struggled for three straight games offensively Cole Keith takes a curve ball for earlier this month two five inning starts since he's come back 10 Innings eight R night he's filling up the strike zone low walks High strikeouts like you said Andy loves to work the top of the strike Z with that not a ton of pitches over the plate and he gets the breaking ball the curveball in this instance into the strike zone into two strikes and that's a good take always easy got him perfect location down in the way at 94 you well he does s the breaking ball up a lot by Design it's not quite a hanger though you know it's just high enough to where it's not like that one that drops down over the middle of the plate just right at the top of the zone and when he he pairs it with that high fast ball so you see see it out of his hand it's high you give up on it and then it breaks down into the Zone it's really annoying is what it is if you're a hitter 65 righty cutter off the plate away and this is a team that lives and dies by throwing a ton of Sliders and Cutters way above League average for both and not a lot of fast balls Peta probably throws more fast balls than just about anybody on the staff almost half his pitches or fast balls par with that bright background line drive base hitting the left slid hung up a little bit Tolson trying to get something started one out he hasn't stopped swinging a foul out of play his 10 game hitting the2 is swinging the line drive down the right field line and that Ball's going to drop extra bases for mckinstry over to third goes torlon Zack McKenry just keeps on hitting on an 02 Tigers head Runners at second and third get him out with the fast ball they can't get him out with the curveball what do you throw Zack mckinstry nobody knows good piece right there on an 02 pitch setting [Music] back when you when you're hitting the fast ball and your 16 for 28 Andy Fly ball ball to left this will tie the game deep and off the top of the wall Tolson will score McKenry on his way to the plate late throw save tigers took a 2-1 lead ref Snider with the missplay and then rafhaela the hesitation on the throw home I mean he goes back he drifted on that ball long enough Dan he didn't get behind it then he starts worrying about the wall by the time he goes up he wasn't even quite to the wall yet how aggressive is this tiger team on the pads I mean when cor started sending him I go I don't know it threw rafhaela so off guard he caught the ball he turned around looking hey where what's going on with the play by the time he saw mckinstry halfway to home left fielder or a relay man Fly ball softly down the right field line casus will make the catch Sweeney holds it second base so when you drift it back on a ball like that you're in trouble right out the gate does a good job getting the ball back in but right here raell look at him oh wait he's going home too late and that hesitation in the air fly ball to left but playable for ref Snider back two steps to his right a little higher Zack M kinry with terrific base running reacting to the Miss and catching the Red Sox flat-footed tigers have the 2-1 lead after two just seeing each other I mean you know tram and I we have played so much baseball together you know he would I'm going to piggy back yeah it it's just again the winning never gets old the stories yeah we accomplished something that uh right tram you in the hole firing to Lou Rogers nice play it's incredible but as Lou just mentioned the key to the success was the timing and we put the time in and uh almost a great play by Terk scoble Duran will get down to the second base that was a terrific effort yeah the big guy gets off the mound pretty good you know Durant could run he can flat out fly scoel tries to make a what kind of play Then athletic play and these guys know better than anybody those middle infielders are the most athletic guys on the field but for a big guy what would you give him Lou on that that works the combination the little talent and the hard work pays off and uh you know what uh I look back and and very you're talking about it so we had four rookies at the that came up in 77 with Lance Jack Lou and I that's that's four pretty good players that were part of the PO we we added the the Dave uh Dave Bergen and Willie Hernandez with the same trade they were involved in the same trade but uh those were we could score 10 runs and get beat right and get beat our career we weren't really prepared for it it took us a little bit they they won a lot of ball game they didn't just beat us as well they beat a lot of clubs behind you know so it was a dog fight uh for us and all the way to the end trond Lou with me right now Tom let's just start with how awesome this weekend is having all of you back in Detroit when's the last time you've seen all these five and five start so I don't know if you know this but Andy Dirks is in the booth tonight as our color analyst and he let me know that you actually managed him in the Tigers minor league can do and then he would slowly give me give me little tips as I went along ter sco rolls in the season the lot of routine flyball outs this Fly ball deep but the wind won't be able to carry it power guy you got to make a lot of contact soft grounder to second Wong takes care of Sweeney for the second out 60s here in the fourth with two outs shots a second nice play by Wong 360 spin and he didn't get to 150 like Casey M did 149 and a third yeah no he's definitely not happy about that Wong fouls it 160 Innings of work line drive to right Conor Wong singles to start the fifth inning the Tigers on the stretch is a big deal but the tigers's been watching his workload all year and that is a beautiful in a beautifully turned nice little flip little tribute to tram and L right there how about it a little quick flip over this never looks like he's stumbling around nice slider on the back door wipes out Danny Jansen fifth strikeout after a beautifully turned double play scoble has cruised to five talked about you know it's only 330 ft down the right field line and it's 430 to Center especially a Tiger Stadium so I I was smart enough to smart enough to think you know world and until I came here I came here in on December 21st of 1983 with 4T of snow underground the first time i' ever been here with their run last year look at this ballpark tonight Riley green pops it up down on the line all down the right field line into the upper deck hanging on the railing this is quite a night it's a that winning culture that I'm not satisfied hard to Center but right to Duran Rogers and Meadows he kind of gets to slapping at the ball like that fly ball to left will be handled by ref Snider tiger put four champions change up it's disgusting steel strike one with the curveball pain the here's the change up off It Whack just getting after it and by you and then oh you want that no no pull the string see you ground ball to short and Sweeney did everything right be an error but I'm telling you this was not an easy play with Duran running he gets around it he knows he doesn't have much time the ball stays up on him a little bit you see when he gets around it he knows he's going to have to set to throw quick he's change up Fly ball to Center Meadows the easy catch and now message from In the Zone he gets a ton of swing and Miss on pitches in the zone change up is strikeout number 200 for Terk scoo fourth Lefty in franchise history with 200 he lets out the swing Miss in the zone as he does on pitches in the zone shot to third off the glove of a lunging Romy Gonzalez second hit of the but we're just all close we love being with each other we talk about the old times and uh we were a bunch of there's certain days I could pitch just as good as him maybe even better but overall he he was going to be a better pitcher than I was and you you know that right and there's there's a pretty interesting stat we know that the 1-1 fast ball low and away at 97 different type of workout routine new nutrition plans fouled down the left field line keep their body in of some wear and tear some sweat Riley green will take care of Raphael Des on a soft Fly ball for the first out of the soft little tap foul there have been very few hard hit balls there have been so many every team that he faces is trying to figure out a new way to attack a guy who's going to be in the strike zone and because his pitch shapes the way he moves the ball around soft Tapper to mckinstry two outs in the seventh pitch counts at a very low bump fist bump big man coming going anywhere he wants it he gets it let's score him a few runs here Dan let's widen this get get him some more runs chance to be more of a kind of a super utility role for manager AJ [Applause] hinch Dr ball and a base hit into left for Ryan [Music] kler he got down to the count had a comeback at him with a bunch of sinkers didn't want to walk kler kler gets a sinker kind of middle in turns and burns hits one over in a six hole F this 2-1 lead and Ryan kler was trying to time the jump of weisser and got caught you can see they're trying to hit play the timing play just one with a little longer hold looks like uh Boston was on to it throw over even enough to get you Rogers with the highfly ball deep to left tracking it Duran and he'll make the catch onto the track by the in bullpen for the second out of the seven got that Sinker up in the air there's a guy named Durant out there who can cover some serious ground deepest part of left center field run for days settles under Jan Durant it's just turning into one of the best players going right now coming into his Prime at 27 meows with a base hit into Right Center not even Durant can get that one solid line drive single on the 10 to extend the ending for people that say you know hey let's not run ourselves out of innings things of that nature right we just talked to Lou and really was revived not in his 30s oh man they've got Parker Meadows picked off Rich Hill comes in picks off the second runner of the [Applause] inning and that ends the seventh we head to the eighth Tigers hold on to the one-run lead and scoop's coming back he's limited big time by a left-handed pitcher that's 72 2% first pitch strike that's where he's been almost all season right around 70% it's at the very top any year with the righty coming up go to best deep third jump throw got him him it will not get better than this he's playing at shortstop that's as far to your right as you can range with the jump throw Dan how much did he get on that throw look at this makes it look easy dancing at the plate got off to a terrific start this year it's been a mighty struggle since another look you talk about bang bang Dan have you ever wandered out there Beyond third base and you know batting practice for at anytime and looked how far over to first base it is so one of the uh only bright spots of the she said don't don't go on the infield please and so we didn't but we tried to make that throw how it how it work out for you we the wind up in the onew swing and a miss 99 to Wi the night yeah listen to this [Applause] crowd the Major Leagues Fly ball to Center off the slow breaking ball Durant didn't have to move a step one out in the eighth strikeout number 200 for ter better in baseball right now there are the really good pitchers in the American League he is ahead of all of them right now fine play by rafhaela it's Matt verling pretty routine base hit up the middle a guy like Rafael super athletic comes in says no not today well the top of the order fast ball freezes he the win Dan Andy let's wrap this up and we'll see you after the game all right we're going to try to do that Tyler Holton on the mountain you feel season Duran hit a home run off him last night Fly ball deep and whoo pass ball in a little bit further than the one last tonight Duran had to pull it foul just a long strike guys just a long strike lefties limit the power of this Lefty Fly ball routine to Center one out in the ninth te and enjoying every bit of this popped it up Shallow Center two outs in the ninth [Music] now this big crowd Rises as one the 3-1 no he wasn't o Neal draws a two out they got them set up they can go slider away they can go fast ball away the one two slider away that's the discipline of rapael Des good pitch now they're going to back it up with something in the zone here he's going to be around the Zone he's going to be outside some somewhere on the outside part of the
