Phil Phillies @ Pitts Pirates w/ magic number 2 (dblheader, 9/25/69) | Strat-O-Matic 1969 Replay 3/3

hi everybody Jeffrey gamman I've gotten interrupted twice during this game I'm going to put this together into one broadcast because it looks inevitable that the Pirates are going to clinch the national Le yeast today in our 1969 stratomatic baseball replay and uh I got a call from my daughter-in-law and I got maybe the best news that I've gotten in a very very long time and the key is to take it easy and not get carried away I don't want to share it it's kind of private what that news is I'm going to wait for some people to come on here and create a critical mass verdict has been reached in the Bob Menendez Federal corruption trial a verdict has been reached in the Bob Menendez Federal corruption Trial Gold Bars and cash and and oh unbelievable folks I'm waiting for my friends to get back here I took a clopin just to calm myself down with excitement and I'm going to take a hit to celebrate I got the best news just now she's not pregnant that's for for [Applause] where did I put that goddamn thing and I apologize for the inconvenience of this folks uh I just got some great news from my family it's personal I'd rather not get into it that was what the phone call was about and it's been a very exciting day for unbelievable [Music] oh that is tasty Turk farell is the fifth pitcher today for the Phillies it's 7 nothing Pirates and leading it off for the Pirates in the bottom of the 7th is really starel and boy there is a buzz in the crowd any of my well-known here I got a phone call from my daughter-in-law and I learned of some amazing news it's personal I'd rather not get into it that's why I imagine others will come in as the game progresses here's the pitch to starel now 17 oh he struck him out one down and here's an Roberto Clemente Roberto two home runs two for three five runs batted in he went three for five in the first game scored twice and had a run batted in he has scored three runs and has six runs batted in for the double header here's Farrell and the pitch to Clemente 65 right-handed grounds it to short for money and it's two away now Al Oliver 311 right-handed it's a Fly ball to right and that's for Callison to make the catch and it's a one two three for farell and [Music] actually Philly's pitching has been pretty good now they've retired 11 pirates in order but it may be too late we're heading to the top of the [Music] eth the Pirates come out moose on the mound throwing shut out baseball 6 outs away from the title he's one moose has 114 this would be his 15th the verdict has been reached in the Senator Bob Menendez trial now NASDAQ is down whoa leading it off top of the eth for the Phillies Darren Johnson [Music] okay Kathy Harden uh yes there [Music] yes and Kathy he seems guilty to me and I put country first I really do I've been a registered Republican I am currently a registered Democrat uh I am a Reagan Democrat uh uh I reject corruption from any part of the spectrum Kathy Harden you are such such a good friend I wanted to share something with you uh I got a call first from my son this morning with big news positive just got a call now from my daughter-in-law with big news positive [Music] uh and uh Bob moose is 6 outs away from a shut out his 15th win and a clinch for the Pittsburgh Pirates and I just wanted to share that news with you um I'm I took another hit stomach is good Kathy Harden now with [Music] change comes uh it could be a double-edged sword so it's very important you know to be careful for what you wish for but with the change that is coming now uh I have both a uh feeling of excitement and apprehension and I'm really savoring this with Bob moose [Music] three famous Chinese curses of increasing intensity number one may you live in interesting times and oh we're doing that and when you're living in interesting times it's both exciting and potentially concerning so I think it's important that you recognize the balance there but I I don't think anyone would doubt that these are interesting times in the US with all that's gone on in the past four days the first vice presidential candidate of a major party in the US with facial hair and a gruesome Bonafide assassination attempt of a former president that's real and uh the second curse and this is one that you can interpret in many different ways but may you be recognized by people in in high places or it's sometimes put may you attract the attention of important people again that has potential excitement and opportunity but brings with it risk but I think the third one is the most important one it is the most profound may you find what you are looking for and I'm going to share these three curses of increasing intensity with my son and daughter-in-law that's also stated as be careful what you wish for I think this these three curses of increasing intensity can teach us lessons or at least help us be mindful of our motives what we really want out out of life in terms of purpose um and to recognize you know there's always a risk and an apprehension about change that's what I wanted to say I've got a beautiful thing going on here I have one Bob moose on the mound six outs away and it's going to be DJ Johnson oh it just came out Kathy Harden that's that's one of the things may you live in interesting times Kathy Harden gold bars and when you look at Menendez who would think that he'd be the most corrupt guy in terms of actual uh Monies of all charges and anyone else would probably see some jail time if if this is his first defense uh he might be able to get off with a highly structured uh parole with ankle monitoring okay he needs to be expelled from the Senate at at once what he did was not only greedy but what he did Kathy was a risk to National Security and what I would do if I were the judge is sentence him I don't know who makes up the the decision for the trial but I I'm a True Believer in least restrictive level but he'd be on parole he'd have ankle monitoring and he would have a very rigorous parole process including mandatory psychological counseling to help him at least in that therapeutic relationship identify what he did why he did it acknowledge it acknowledgment will be an important stage for his recovery and then finally if you really get to acknowledgement then you can work on self-acceptance people like me and maybe you were always going to just think badly of him but for his own well-being and then he should be on parole for the for 10 years after the sentence maybe it would be a 2year ankle monitor I had no reason to put him behind bars if it's First Defense I don't believe in him if it's not violent if you want any Hope For The Individual to not deteriorate and that's my my little uh piece there Cathy now what I'm doing is I'm sitting on a 6 out away situation and I'm just having a fun time with my great news you were here uh we're waiting for the Menendez verdict of course he'll be released on his own recognizance and then there'll be a hearing for sentencing or he's not going to be incarcerated for a nonviolent crime but it is a very uh Kathy you there I want to say it's a very serious cry guilty it's coming out now I want to get my own if you don't mind just post that on uh oh people people are going to tell you things like uh people are always going to tell you [ __ ] like oh you should go to jail and I don't know I don't know on all counts on all freaking counts Kathy I'm going to post this on X right now for [Music] it's pretty good pretty good post Bob Mendez found guilty I might as well make it a complete sentence Bob Menendez has been found guilty of all counts in his Federal corruption trial please look at what he did and recognize that he was not only greedy period he created a risk to National Security I should say National Security risk and that's my opinion I don't care what party he's in there it is posted on X guilty on all counts right fresh off the press there Bob Menendez has been found guilty of all counts in his Federal corruption trial please look at what he did and recognize that he was not only greedy he created a national security risk that's my post I think it's a pretty provocative one on uh and I don't care if he's with a Democratic party uh he is absolutely uh Inc conscionable is that the word or is it unconscionable unconscionable without a conscience um a uh it is you know you know what it is I mean he did [ __ ] with with foreign Nations as if you know you talk about influence 16 counts bribery obstruction of justice acting as a foreign agent I mean that's that's uh in a way getting close to the line of Espionage now up over 600 unfortunately if you're NASDAQ heavy you miss out he's going to appeal of course the Dow was up 620 and moose NASDAQ down 37 A Tail of Two sectors okay DJ steps in the Box it's it's Bob moose on the mound moose gets the sign from sanan the wind up and the pitch to Darren Johnson that's 47 right-handed and he walked him we just don't want to lose the shut out it would be a beautiful thing I'm for the Pirates all the way this year folks it's been really a three and a half year process at least but this replay will barring any Calamity to me physically or emotionally this season will end in real time this year here's moose now with Johnson on first no out stone at the plate 28 right-handed grounds to First Oliver steps on the B throws to cash at second Double Play Beautiful play by Oliver wait well I I wouldn't exactly say it's I don't know if it's treason it could be yeah maybe maybe so uh demos maybe so you know there's a difference you know sharing secret information as an example is espionage uh where treason is held to the standard I believe I could be wrong of doing more than that you're you're you're really aiding them I I don't know the exact distinction but uh also people use the word treason uh David in a colloquial manner more colloquial than legal and they what they usually mean is you betrayed your country and he certainly freaking did that but I was talking David earlier uh it's two outs nobody on moose four outs away from the a shut out and the Pirates clinching the pant that was a it was hit sharply by Stone and Oliver had it right on the line he ran to first and then pivoted and beautifully threw it to the youngster Dave cash for a double play it's seven nothing Pirates and we are I was uh reciting uh David earlier the three curses of increasing intensity the Chinese curses may you live in interesting times and be uh may you find what you are looking for do you know what I'm looking for seriously peace of mind and that is when my family is safe safe and secure and happy and I got news today got trivia after the third out God bless you you know you're making me want to do one and I I'm really happy that's your uh second today uh you're making me want to do one too and uh I just don't know what i' want to do uh I thought salt of the earth Emoji was pretty good it was Rolling Stones by me uh I could think of a uh another [Music] group uh no Emoji this time you did a you did one of my favorites if not my favorite of all time folks if you go to the second uh broadcast this is three of three most likely hopefully uh you'll see the Emoji but wait a day before you go because the the the chat often doesn't show up for 24 hours in case you didn't know that but he had a pirate uh icon if you will a pirate uh kind of picture uh sh paint and then he had ice and I put it as first I did it backwards but I think it really reads nicely as the Pirates have the champagne on Ice I think and I like the because it separates the champagne from them rather than saying there uh t h i r because it's not theirs yet it is not theirs yet um moose and I'm so glad the late Bob moose gets to do this it's going to be Don money coming up two outs nobody on top of the eighth 7 nothing Pirates a great moment for me in the stratomatic 19 69 replay it really is maybe one of the most exciting for me fulfilling it's not they they're going to clinch the magic number is one but to watch it happening with a moose shut out here's the pitch to money now that's 110 oh it's hit well into Right Center I'm sorry into left Center I'm so sorry pops throws it in and money comes in with a double and uh I'm telling you it's 7 nothing and some of you may really disagree with this I'll pinch hit for the pitcher I'll bring in 10 pitchers I don't have a catcher because freaking stratomatic only gives you two catchers on this team and Ryan caught the first game and it's a decision I've already made even though he hit 176 we have breaking news Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey has been found guilty of all 16 counts in his Federal corruption trial justice has been served let's see what the sentence is I say don't incarcerate him put an ankle thing on him restrict his life very much for maybe two years maybe a year it's a nonviolent crime first offense and he'd be on probation for five years I did say 10 cut it down to five and that's going to include mandatory therapy to help him figure out and acknowledge what he did he knows what he did he he's just freaking corrupt bastard and to think you can get away with that [ __ ] here's the pitch to Watkins 2 whoa Watkins flies it to right running forward Clemente and Roberto has it and the S is retired a nice running catch by Roberto that was no runs a walk a double a nice double play too and one left on we're heading to the bottom of the eth uh and it will be Turk Farrell once again I'll tell you the last well the last two pitchers have pitched very well uh so well in fact that uh they've retired 11 in a row 11 pirates in a row that's really something starting with Boozer even though he let up a run that inning uh and Farrell takes to mount his second second inning I believe 2 3 4 five 6 7 [ __ ] this is his third inning uh Boer here's here's Wilson Wilson pitch two booer pitch one and 2/3 there it is so it was a 2 3 4 56 and Farrell has pitched one inning it's going to be Emmanuel one for two today scored a run knocked in a run he's catching both games he was one for three in the first game with a sack fly and two runs batted in Turk farell on the [Music] mount oh wait we got a question from demos oh my I am so sorry folks that was great I stopped it uh awesome to be able to interrupt that error folks we have a uh bear with me please we're a lowbudget program and I am completely off my entire sound system Rhythm just getting back to that just no no qualms about it [Music] and we do it we acknowledge our errors it's baseball demos with a baseball trivia [Music] here who was the last pitcher to both win 20 games and lose 20 in the same season boy that is an awesome question [Music] and you want to know something folks I would just have to guess I would just have to sit here and freaking guess what that could possibly be acting as a foreign agent that is freaking Criminal folks that is terribly it was in the 70s holy [ __ ] I'm going to take a guess here you have to be a good pitcher to do that folks okay first what you got to be a good picture to just be in the mes I think I might have remembered Rick Wise doing that but I could be [Music] wrong how about Rick Ro Rick Wise [Music] demos are you there I don't see demos is it n or demos not coming through I said Rick wiise yay or nay no one wise yeah we'll take a hintch sure [Music] [Music] [Music] m [Music] [Music] don't tell me it's fil don't tell me it was Phil and what team was he on I can't believe I saw uh a um I saw him Gaylord Perry in a p uniform so he was traded to the Padre's at one point holy cow oh he was on Atlanta wow that means a few things what was his record do you have that handy uh it means first of all he pitched a lot that's the first thing it tells me wow it tells me that he might have had a mediocre year or maybe not maybe he was decent and his team wasn't very good but I don't know I thought the Braves were good then I I guess the Braves Dynasty if you want to call it that was in the80s oh say no more demos they just pitched the [ __ ] out of them that's all that was a good record for them 21 and 20 wow shuck Schumer of New York the uh minority leader in the Senate has urged Mr Menendez to resign from the Senate immediately please oh Lord Mr Menendez don't put us through a freaking whatever they call it I I think it's an impeachment of which he surely would be expelled don't put us through that onethird of the team's wins 21 and 20 demos I don't know if I can handle all the excitement seriously and that's a great question you know if you go back to like the 1911 set I think there were a number of people who won and lost 20 I could be wrong I think in the dead ball era you had uh you know I don't the number of them uh I think even people like Walter Johnson might have done cuz he was he was on a lowy te that goes with Ryan's winning percentage which isn't so great because he was almost always on a lousy team or below average team wouldn't you say I guess the 69 Mets were uh an exception but but he was actually not that great that year although he deserves everything that year for saving the third game saving it for Gentry wow yeah he went to Houston I Believe Joe nro and was actually very good holy holy cow oh did he were they decent teams Joel okay decent but but what what's the story then his winning percentage is uh not as high as I would prefer for someone who is considered arguably maybe top 10 pitchers of all time do you think it's a fair question or am I incorrect about the his winning percentage maybe it's not as bad as I think but here's San Gan now and if you're looking ahead to the top of the ninth as uh Bob moose is throwing a shut out for the game Clincher here on September 25 1969 oh okay wow Joel you think he's overrated wow here's Farrell now the pitch to San gon that's 5'8 right-handed lines it to short caught by money that was right on the money and that is 12 in a row by Phil Philadelphia pitching now you don't want much of this to go on cuz you don't want to sort of think that oh [ __ ] we're going to go into a thing where our teams yeah the early 70s yeah early 70s when he first came over here's hner now at the plate 510 left-handed ground to short X it's on the money again 327 oh [ __ ] [ __ ] that's part of the allore stratomatic getting annoyed at little things like that 23 G1 gets to it e27 all day long 6 1115 that doesn't smell right but no it is he throws him out didn't smell good but he got it over two away [Music] now 13 in a row for Philadelphia pitching here they really since the fifth but uh there's a man named Bob moose who's in The Dugout right now and one more out this half inning he's going to come out and try to do something that will be historic in its own way here's po0 for three that's 57 right-handed grounds to Second X again it's second though Taylor 323 double checking yeah [Music] 323 that's a second he gets to it G2 23 567 and he throws him out well that's interesting you say that Joel and we're heading to the top of the ninth it's interesting you say that the longevity you're right about that the no hitters but the question I have you don't think he's in top 10 oh uh top 20 maybe okay and some people would outright insist he being in the top 10 I'm not married to any of it but my my question is sometimes he performed I could be wrong in a way that was way above almost almost any pitcher ever [Music] uh and how do we make sense of that and 7 no hitters is one example I mean really far exceeding how do you address that I always thought though the bottom line for pitchers is winning percentage really to me that's where the tire hits the road it's an interesting uh discussion we're heading to the top of the [Music] night just grab a few more cookies as Bob moose comes out to take his warm-ups overall effectiveness a no hitter is no better than a shut out I hear you it's an interesting perspective it really is uh I look for one thing W's Joel WS something happened in the market that that went up like this and NASDAQ was down a drop Blue Chips and small caps surge and big Tech steps back uh we need a rake cut and I would love to see us get a rate cut down over the course of the next decade to where it used to be I'm not an economist yeah you see Joel you're right I'm just is having some cookies I think you're 100% right I couldn't have said it better because I i' I've seen his winning percentage it's over 500 folks but he says it's a tad over mediocre which is uh you know I guess it's better than average but I'm not sure I'm not sure that his winning percentage is enough to if it was for a team to win a title he lost almost 300 freaking games holy cow I was always critical of him about that and I have a friend on Twitter who insists he played for [ __ ] teams uh you know maybe Grinch was the only uh was that his name Grinch was the only good player uh and uh uh he was maybe the best pitcher ever he's a friend of mine on Twitter nearly 300 games this will be my last cookie my God the Republican National Convention first vice presidential candidate from one of the two parties major parties with facial hair since Charles Curtis who dawned a mustache in 1932 he ran with Hoover for reelection [Music] holy [ __ ] demos that's a bizarre uh record to lead an erra 2.79 which by the way is not that great to lead uh 8 and 16 holy [ __ ] wasn't that sort of the end of his career though not not to take it away from [Music] him I'm pretty sure he is the strikeout leader lifetime I uh maybe Carlton became it I don't know one of the two probably Ryan and many of you know on that uh it's probably either Ryan I wouldn't be so quick to say who Ryan Carlton you know I think or there was a time when I think Carlton was the leader and they all passed Johnson isn't that [Music] something well moose [Music] on the mound now and this is it there going to be a hitter for faroh there will be a hitter for Turk faroh here in the top of the night whoa [Music] [Music] let's see who it [Music] is they've used the same cast as in the first game they lost 8-1 [Music] [Music] [Music] bear with us as we find out who's going to hit here he [Music] on [Music] hitting for the
