Chicago Cubs VS Pittsburgh Pirates inning 1- 4 Game Highlights -MLB 9/3/2024-MLB Season 2024.

yeah and then Brian Reynolds hit a home run he raced the three nothing leate Andrew McCutchen hit a home run and Pirates went on to Wi row you just kind of had this feeling they're not going to lose yep and obviously that it's never the case in baseball just felt F do it again Conor CA versatile guy he's out on the field yeah infield and Outfield Kyle back to work and a two two line drive out of the gold Glover making the play on a hard hit liner yeah take that ikf after jitty I must say I love when you Trash [Music] Talk the home run last night he leads the team with 22 home runs and 77 knocked in career the one popped up and that is out number two good start for Kyle let's take a look at the Cubs defensively it's brought you by Blue Cross in the infield first to third Bush Corner Swanson Pettis Christian bethor is behind the plate two down and the base is empty we talking off the air pregame as Kyle Ben a curveball as a hitter and you said I like him and tell me the two areas that you'd like to see him and he strikes out too much so if he can tighten that up it's going to be really good there's more in there we' have to believe yeah I mean well above average slug at 466 the major league bounc towards third waiting on it Paredes throws the first in time going they get Cruz Kier and Wrigley and hat making his way to the plate Cubs line up brought to you as always by Benny's Beverage Depot you can finds it at fines is Probus Warner Swanson EO Armstrong and Christian Beth cour gets the start for Craig Council team offense has been fueling this Resurgence but no average pitcher on the mount here tonight the big half swings here lifts it to left field reyolds back and he makes the catch he put a pretty good charge he's been on the attack and it's been paying off for him too good solid contact here unfortunately Reynold's able to retreat and make a play on them but fast balls here lately ball in for a strike says Doug edings fast ball will a let's take a look at Paul sches brought to you by Budweiser this buds for you start and he pitched six Innings of no hit baseball struck out 11 it's 223 ER second best in Major League Baseball and that one misses SCH was the starting pitcher for the national league in the allstar game time he has started on six or more three times so your standard what you're used to four days rest set these days yeah they've obviously with him they've said they're going to be very careful monitoring his work Lo they want him to pitch through the end of the season Pirates defensively brought to you by Northwestern Medicine coner fala triolo first to third now M grandal behind the [Music] plate and a swing and a miss yeah that's the spliner right there boo it is the spinker it's wayang in a miss that time as Suzuki was sayah seventh in the National League in Ops been on an extended run a very productive hit at a 908 Ops that's 10th best in all baseb yeah that's Rock Solid that's start side SCH is interesting right CU he's got the big fast ball but we've already talked about his spinker he'll sweep his slider he got to change up doesn't throw it that much no no get back here young man's giving him a little grief [Applause] too players don't like that show me up yeah see don't take it Doug you talk to him then to me swing in a line drive that's up the middle and it'll be the base hit he got enough of it to gets through and a two out pitch at 101 the exit vow 63 but he got enough of so it's Quality Lumber right there for that bat not to shatter cuz that ball was in his kitchen too late stolen base Cubs ran Wild on grandal over in Pittsburgh last week that was with Mitch Keller on the mound skin tough to string hits together so I suspect they will be aggressive on the bases again here tonight wasting no time have been an excellent base running team this year Cubs say that was number 127 they are third behind the Pirates in Phillies in stolen base rate so it's a good combo when you're stealing them stolen base rate 84 tick under 79% set so a single and a walk in the Cubs with Something Brewing here with two outs and ESO paradas no score are your paddle ball doubles [Applause] team big opportunity here for Petes now if he can click one with the Cubs an early lead sometimes get locked in on the ground to foul of third we're your pickle ball dou te pickle ball pickle pickle ball dou te we're also going to sing the stretch tonight yeah we are Taylor's going to come up and replace me later JD if you were to go to Vegas right now yes put Mone 10 years he's this guy's got the spinker that somebody comes up with a pitch called the pickle ball got a oh ground but foul look out that's Will Harris Zach parades baby steps last seven hitting 280 and now time call Suzuki's at second Bellinger is at first that comes with an opportunity SK ready and fires that one sliced the other way said you know foul ball could be a big part of this game just to get the pitch count up well Cubs had a good game plan against the a lot of good at bats two two inside so the big righty of Lake Forest California went to the same High School El Toro that produced Dolan AR and paradus able to spoil that they'll do it again oh you've seen a lot of this from petus even through his struggles a lot of LA that's him foul look out to pull pitch's middle end yeah SK and that one downstairs it's ball four and here comes Nico they're all loaded up saw a bunch of pitches ultimately worked his walk that'll bring Oscar Marine the pitching coach out of the Dugout for an early chat working Theory you ready for me yes Doug edings barking at Paul skes earlier when he started to walk off and he said I think it's a good example of where the baseball old school stuff I don't think he does that that's my opinion Poss not but that's not my point my point is I think I I could I could neither confirm nor deny that yeah your theory yeah now and that's outside Nico with a good take ball one that one at 101 the one hit on the ground out and the Cubs leave them loaded so they make ski 16 when the Cubs defeated the Pirates 10 to 5 K bigley six Innings giving up only one earned run and struck out 12 a couple of other interesting notes from that game the losing pitcher was was was a home run on the very first pitch of his MLB career so memorable day indeed guys HRI in two McCutchen who's been red hot he's H 14 in a row he had the deciding hit a home run last Miss struck him [Applause] out the percussion is gone he's gotten the first four yeah delivers the pitch to The Spot and they get their man good start here for Kyle batting order this year it's a second and third time through we giving up a ton of damage a couple shots at that inside corner and now what you do on 2 and0 chain ball curve ball Wy vet the 2-1 on the way swing and a miss and now it's two and two and then a Dandy of a change up to catch the big fell way out in front in the air and there's two away that's really just good pitching right there BS behind in the count slow him down with the uh change up and beat him with the heater that Gonzalez now Gonzalez hitting Sixth and playing second base as he takes up stairs for he loves to swing it he's going to swing it this one [Music] yeah things did not go well over in Pittsburgh there was some [Applause] sof L drive and a base hit added to left field Gonzalez with a two- out single up in the zone a little bit [Music] there and normally when he throws that change up to a right he's going to throw that little cut change up that one and of came back towards the middle of the plate on him he's got eight career homers against the Cubs four of them this year his lifetime will on the ground push it'll be an infield single he was going to try to throw him out from his back side and the ball squirted out first bace he almost pulled this one off too if he doesn't lose a handle there they're going to get him Kyle was over there in time as just squirts out of the end of his [Music] M see anguish on his face there as the Pirates at two a board with two out and the first one missing for ball one Kyle tonight making his 20 the 2- outside kind of the story of K little soft hit a blooper miss two whatever couple guys get on then a mistake whack loads the bases up and now he'll deal with triolo yeah Tommy hadavi here in the second in fact you got the first five in the game [Music] to have a health partner who doesn't just treat part of you they care for all of you because the only way to be your best self is with your best [Music] fully so now an opportunity pretty much every day at third base we keep Ryan Hayes out with the back issue close yeah there she is uh-oh test against the Cubs 375 this year 12 out of 32 357 career swing in a Miss there's that cut change [Applause] up the late Pro Nation maybe not I agree [Music] [Applause] all loaded up two down one and two here comes L High little extra extra juice on Kyle threw 70 pitches in that outing last week in Pittsburgh should be plenty fresh here tonight no place to put [Applause] triolo you've seen some atypical misses from Kyle but you know pitching away from contact these situations where he's really been [Applause] hurt behind the Sinker out of respect to the change up it Bases Loaded walk better than a gapper three and two bases over to Bush and Kyle gets out of it each to rri lead coming up September 14th the 19th annual race to Wrigley here's Danby Swanson away from him a curve ball that didn't curve slipped a little bit Dansby last 11 with an Ops over a th three homers he's Rising yeah there's no question check swing called strike he and Ian half for the top two and for Dansby after a super slow start obviously he's established a ton of that value on defense the one two Beth andc another deep count here yeah you talk about his defensive value he's made five errors all year boo I was looking at this today three of those are throwing errors so chances it's crazy second highest Fielding percentage Ezekiel toovar yeah 3-2 on the ground at the middle of the base hit so it's a lead off [Music] single solid single up the middle for Swanson see if he's on the Move got stolen base by Suzuki in the first now grandal behind behind the plate this here and here's Pete Crow Armstrong appears to be choking up a little bit more fa it when they were 12 years old they played on a 12 and under USA team get the you know how good a two-way player we've talked about SK was in K in 2022 he was a catcher and a pitcher and then transferred to LSU and became the first overall pick last year good change up there from skin he was a military strategist major at the Air Force Academy I don't know how much of those throw it the first and Swanson back in but I people raved about how espn.com about his freshman year umpires raving about how quick his hands were and how deceiving him is and Pete Crow Armstrong down on strikes he got him on a change and there's one away I mean obviously a big arm just going to say for a guy that throws 100 miles an hour he does not lean all that here's Christian Beth and court now he's a great receiver his recruiter at Air Force is a guy named CJ Gilman who's now the minor league hitting instructor with the Mariners close to Air Force so they're catching coordinator that one laced out into the right field right center and Swanson and they're at the corners man Christian Beth cour just keeps on hitting he's got a cannon for an arm out there and he's brand new to the position actually over plays this ball he's going to be hand this thing and the spin kicks it back the opposite check make sure it gets down and then off he goes drifting towards right opportunity for the Cubs to strike first and Ian takes down and in flyed to left back in the first and for a while now no score we're in the bottom of the second and then rondal stands up to throw it back so to finish the the point on schemes the and the guy said I hope we can draft this kid well he's starting the All-Star game as a pitcher tonight that one fouling evaluator with the Mariners what what do you think of this and he's like man I hope please tell me we're going to draft this kid and it's going to be hard to two and one first and third one out back in and well I expect the Cubs to be aggressive on the bases here tonight not so much Christian though the 2-1 swing in a Miss well he's going heavily to that change up [Applause] against play in a miss and half is gone and he got him with that change up great hand speed like a split between his middle finger and his ring finger the way he delivers pause 66 235 and now it's Michael Bush 100 mph fast ball from the mound to home plate is going to get there between 375 and 400 millisec milliseconds to Blink that gives you an idea what a hitter's up against in terms of the reaction time a a slow blinker you could blink as he's delivering the ball and it be at home plate before you open blink yeah I mean you could try this at home as he delivers the ball you could blink and open up and see if he see if you can pull the trigger misses Christian into second it's a stolen base and now two are in scoring position so Michael can may be able to jump in front to zip one and two basically conceding that base even with Beth and Court running and we see teams do that a lot trust your pitcher to get the final out maybe with bethan court running they might have changed their thinking a little bit two two he's thrown nine change UPS in this game it's a pitch coming into the start he throws 3 and a half% of the time matches his season High yeah you know I think the h jumping on that first pitch fast ball the abat parades had uh you know I would think Oscar maren the pitching coach or Derek Shelton would remind him hey man you throw 100 milph great approach by the Cub hitters so far here tonight they haven't cashed it in yet y still a zero on the board but making him [Applause] work so the base is loaded for seya who singled and stole a base his first time Cubs with their best hitter at the plate Swanson at third Beth and courted second push it B ground first space Su no idea where it is luckily swings at the first pitch with the bases loaded took a shot just didn't get [Applause] [Music] it golden chance for the Cubs right here for a strike little bit [Music] upstairs Suzuki back in Suzuki able to get a [Music] piece a lot of head shaking frustration play and a little chapper back to the mound flips it to Les and he'll get out of it and for the second straight inning that comes there's have the Titans and Isaiah ker FFA both pitchers have been challenged neither one has cracked yet Kyle missing there and this is not what you want to do ahead of Reynolds Cruise in M plate there's a strike it again if you can the great control artist of this era L drive and a base hit added to left that's that's well put he his ability to throw the ball where he'll be led MLB in ER in 2016 I would pet you it's not the major league b um but you're talk but more than anything wasn't walking people and throwing it where he wanted to throw it yes contact rate hard contact rate is still relatively low in ER in 2016 from 16 through 20 you're the sixth best ER in baseball up there with guys like berlander impressive list 34 years old from San Juan Capistrano California that one back Taylor did the Prevagen memorable moment where he picked up June of 2016 it was actually on Father's Day now fast forward and he's father line drive at a base hit slapped out into center field and the first two have reached and here comes first time through the batting order but the numbers turn ugly second and third time through crisis Point here early [Music] 34 counsel and tommmy hoty over there contemplating Bullpen you to SCH working as hard as he has for the first couple Innings two innings of work for Paul schem change up Cruz out in front taking advantage of Cruz Reet jerk out of here and Kyle flips up a real good change up just off the out right side her up with it sping over to first it's safe at first among the many attributes for O'Neal Cruz he can really scoot big man but he can fly [Music] so they're at the corners now back again he's to swipe 20 bases he's only been caught once yeah they have as a team there's a strike to McCutchen coming into play tonight McCutchen 10 out of 46 against Kyle that's a 217 batting average Cruz was on the move there bethan Court A Difference Maker behind the plate with his arm he's got one of the strongest throwing arms in the game the Cubs yeah guy whose arm was to convert him to pitcher chatted with him about that today he hated it he that right did not like it calling down to the bullpen get ready go in did not enjoy but again he and the Padre's and that was his chance to stay in the majors or stay on the roster 22 but a 33 years old turned 33 yesterday Christian be Court and has grew up a huge Pudge Rodriguez fan and then Carlos Ruiz Cho the Phillies catcher who held first and third one down first Gore we're in the top half of the third the Cubs had their six-game win streak come to an end last night trying to bounce back and get second now a throw back to third everybody's safe so it'll be a stolen base for on Cruz is 21st yeah had a big placing his divid yeah he's little bit of grounds keep multicolored shoes pretty explosive for big man too huh he gets up to top speed in a in a hurry in the air Center F makes the catch coner falea comes in cruise to third there's two now extend summer fwn at Toyota's national sales event with a new Camry rapor Hybrid Highlander FY 4X tunder Corolla hybrid Tacomas right now Toyota Let's go places so the veteran McCutchen knocks in the first run of the game the batter now is Rowdy to rowy who uh flailed at that change up first that bat took that one like he knew it was coming but it's still that's Malachi Moore down there Malachi rarely misses one of those long been known as one of the better speaking of umpires umpire Tendencies presented by you Chicago medicine and Doug edings is very pitcher friendly unless they pitcher friendly and you're will that's my story I don't know D sorry with two outs Cruz the runner at third Pirates have jumped in front one to nothing hris Chase remember to do your work inside to help set up that change up high drive and it's off the glove it'll be an RBI single and it's two [Applause] [Music] [Applause] nothing he did try to go down where he could dropped the barrel on it [Applause] got a couple almost here tonight talk with Kyle two nothing Pirates and the batter now will be Nick Gonzalez Gonzalez two runs in and Toes at first foul and it's quickly 0 and two on the second basem their first round pick back in time last year 128 played appearances at 209 with two homers JD I think the thing that jumps out at me is I'm not used to seeing Kyle Miss by that much been hurt so much this year when he's made mistakes over the plate he's working really hard it first move and it ended up being kind of more of a belly flop Jes picked off work by Bush and it over lead delivers down skin has walked three here tonight go along with three punch outs the 1- one swing and a miss and there's the change up Cody who missed time on the iil with that fractured left middle finger for a while coming back just became too th so as we look at how he hits now the pad was underneath the left middle finger so it was basically like he had one finger off the bat [Music] Clarity know hit pretty hard [Music] flash Choo Chu foul back sometimes a pitcher stuff is so good it actually works against them line and just foul how do you mean when it's hard to put the ball in play you end up throwing a ton of pitches and try to get early contact he's you know it's swing and Miss change up it's 99 mph fast ball line drive the other way and a gorgeous piece of two strike hitting from Cody continue to apply pressure here's a leadoff single by Bellinger little back door slider good piece of hitting JD yeah it was he stayed within himself there he didn't try to do too much here's es so a fast ball in for a [Music] strike for's first time up there he saw a bunch of pitches Pates lead two nothing we're in the bottom of the third this year yeah I think he'd be in go mode here popped up on the infield coner FFA well short so Bellinger will end up retreating to The Dugout and paradus now p f watching parus go down the line and then nothing really Bellinger can do about that speed guy it's a play a lot of guys talk about but very few guys try for b no strikes to [Music] Nico up Trail it here in the bottom of the third two to nothing soft liner Jared triolo to his left able to grab it Pirates two runs five hits no errors Cubs 04 and0 [Applause] [Music] Dean deals and foul tipped at the plate B cast powered by Google Cloud last night to Anthony Swanson hit a home run field giveth sometimes a taketh away and this occasion home run for Dansby I had my guy 11 years old and ready to steal my job seemed to be more than capable it's a lot of 11-year-olds that when a good play happens for their team yell that a boy of him even more yeah Parker and his sister Lexi they were great but a catch with PCA Watson will take his base for the aforementioned Pak C [Music] Armstrong Okay saw a lot of the change up from schemes see if he gets a fast ball early and he was late and one that bat can impact the next of his mind two on two out and he o one swing JD my guess it's either he might go back door breaker to change [Music] [Applause] [Music] up two out Ste sets and Deals I'm going to foul that one [Music] away last 12 g hit just a shade under 400 swing and and sches gets out of the jam again on to the fourth two strike Gonzalez then Joe and then grandal nerves for either of you thinking about singing the stretch tonight oh true now now there are now you bring it up I mean there should be was there I'm like shaking boogs having to call me down H going to miss and hris able to get [Applause] [Music] Gonzalez get the boys back in the Dugout and get after [Music] schemes his first time the pitch you will that one in there for a strike and now one and two last couple Innings we didn't see many to rely on their best stuff and for him it's Sinker change up 73 currently in last place in the NL Central game behind the the Reds three Hendrick just struck out the first two that he's faced here in the fourth nice reset after that bumpy third
