Mlb The Show Phillies vs Dbacks Game

and welcome in everybody glad you're with us MLB the show's game of the week is coming your way it's the Philadelphia Phillies at the Arizona Diamond just about ready to roll here and towing the slab in this one Brandon fat well no doubt about it he's going to have to put together some consistently good performances in order to bring that ra down now he's got good stuff he's just got to be able to have confidence trusted and really go after hitters not nibble trust that his stuff can have late life and Miss barrels of bats the pitch swing and a miss him out very frustrating right there as a speedy potential base runner when 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 ER but some way you got to find a way to shorten up the swing and put the ball in play next time he was all over that one really nice job staying up the Middle with his approach he didn't try to do too much with the pitch just shot it through the infield and now let's see for some action with good Wheels on the bases Pomo slings to Second and that's [Applause] two back here at Chase Field getting the nod in this one Taiwan Walker and singing We were talking earlier about how he's doing a great job navigating through tough spots I've just been so impressed with when it seems like there's more pressure he's more calm and settles in he's done an incred job with scoring position most guys will get a little tight they start to aim the baseball but for some reason he gets looser the ball comes out of his hand with more life and he's able to wiggle off the hook of you know tough situations and get his team back in the Dugout and that one little below the knees ball two the punch out there two gone that's about as nasty of a splitter as you'll come across especially in terms of movement I that thing tumbles out his hand and just drops off the table at the last moment he keeps it down it's just so tough to put W on a good eye there really good take especially with two strikes hamers that one deep left field and forget it a gigantic blast that's his third home run of the series and the Dbacks jump out in front it's nothing he's going to the plate with a ton of confidence lately and he's getting the results to back it up no doubt those two things feed off one another swing and a miss struck him out not in time he's safe two outs runner at first Christian Walker stands in now for the Diamondbacks one and two to the right side stop sends it to first play made that ends the Inn but they're off to a good start as they pick up a run on this solo and we're back Kyle schwarber comes up to hit here the pitch that's the ball sharp grounder that's through for a base hit man aboard on the lead off single well when you fall behind in the count you've got to come into the zone and then guys have a better chance of hitting the ball hard like he did right there Nick castanos at the plate [Applause] now and a pitch not close with that one counts full three and two keeps the back going with a foul ball the Phillies down by a run here in the finale of this four game set outside and that is ball four not the start to this inning he was hoping for on the now he's going to have to really dial it up against the bottom part of this line to get out of this Jam Brandon Marsh steps to the plate swing in a Miss nice change up the best way to shake off yesterday's struggles is to get on the boardly a guy in scoring position they've got to find a way here to get him in throw to Second save schwarber at second casos at first with no outs next offering upstairs and another ball to lay off that pitch down Alec bone next to bat for [Music] Philadelphia left hand hitter Waits and that is a big first out two on one out Alec bone stands in for the Phillies next offering misses now two balls and a stri could be some action here on this next pitch couple Runners on probably a challenge pitch coming swing and a miss and that strike two thech wants a ground dou play opportunity here you've got to lay off pitches down in the zone right there swinging at that pitch that's a no no one down Phillies down the run and that's off the Inside Edge and now it's three and two stop on deck for the Phils that one the other way Peterson over to ptoo that's one there second dou play already back here in the desert we head to the bottom of the second and here is aeno Suarez the B and that one's a little bit low and the count two and one ground off the middle that's a base hit so a man on base to start the in well his hot hitting continues he's been getting great results lately once you get the ball by the pitcher there's a lot of base hits up the middle even ground ball so a nice job to use that big hole and get himself a hit run on the go there's one Relay first double play Alec Thomas stands in now for the Diamondbacks next offering is in for a strike out space is empty that one backed up the middle and it gets through and here is Ronaldo Hernandez next offering in there for a strike and that's strike two swings through that and it's a strike out that's the inning and welcome back to the ballpark this is Bryson stop bounce to the left side Suarez to First up and down with marfield up to the plate that one ripped and it one UPS the wall now he'll turn for second and he starts his afternoon off right with a double everything came together for him really nice balanced swing on it and when you can the Gap like that you're thinking extra bases from the first couple of STS out of the he'll that r at second here one gone grounder into the outfield for a third headed for the plate now a long throw home it's offline and R comes in not going to get he's in there and up to the plate is JT real M the one- one is fouled off one run across in the frame so far we're here in the top half of inning number three out towards left Center Rich sizing it up makes the grab grounder tags it second he's in there the Cris through the early stages he hasn't been very efficient in terms of the pitch count he's going to need to get some quick outs if he's going to get deeper into this game next one misses two balls in a strike it is interesting though when you consider the way the game is run now doesn't even matter that much if your starter doesn't go that deep because teams are really aggressively building your Bulls Kyle schwarber the kind of bat that can make a big impact if they can keep it going here that's a base head as R scores put a on theard and picks up an RBI just swing right thereau it out ripped theit always great close now it's going to be Kyle schwarber fouls one off two and [Applause] two Sosa leads off first with two down to the inning now they've got him in a run down tries to get back runner on the move again swings through it and that's a strike out they get two runs on three ready to go for the last half of the inning stepping in is the switch hting short stopalo Poma and a swing a Miss there after scoring RS this is where you're looking for that shut down inning get that hot team back in there to swing the bats that one is absolutely beled and that gets down in the corner around first and hustling for second and he starts the bottom of the third with a double nice line drive with the p side right there but he didn't spin off of it that's the key you still have to extend through the base in order to hit a line drive like that and it's second fights that one away still one and two and one to the right side schorer takes it himself one gone bottom of the third inning that's a good piece of hitting right there it's early but you still want to move the runner up and give your team a chance to score that's exactly what happened so you better believe your teammates are happy with you after that and a little bit High you know this guy great speed is in the back of thatch high in the out to casos drifts towards it brings it in runner tags from third he'll score on the sack fly we are tied at two and now Jack Peterson and one and two he didn't want to give up that run but he did got the Fly ball sack fly out now it's time to attack these other that strike three and the third out so we take a new inning getting started so digging in now for Philadelphia Nick castanos in there strike at the bottom of the zone out towards right center field Rich sizing it up he's got it and there's one down everyday dream batting practice these outfielders get about 10 minutes of balls in the gaps they practice this and when the game comes they make the play perfectly next offering is foul back faces empty one away to of inning number four and another ball that smash toward Center that's a [Applause] hit couldn't the Ed it up than that just a very nice approach and swing right there to use the big part of the field everything was on time he stayed balanced through the entire swing and just launched that one into Center and the batter now Al B in the dirt and an excellent job keeping it right [Applause] there strike two activity in the Arizona Bullpen Christian Mana up and throwing for manager TR l here goes the runner bounce to third in plenty of time to first got him Runner stays out of the double play by going on the 32 pitch Bryson stop stands in for the Phillies two outs that one fouled off two and two out towards Right Center that's well struck that's down one HS off the wall from crosses the it's 32 the relay throw in there safely well a swing like that can help you come out of the struggle we saw the numbers coming into the ball game but all he's trying to do at this point is help his team win and now comes up empty that strike twoes the up the ladder struck him out back here at Chase Field and here's the first baseman Christian Walker on the ground to Third and that's a fair ball and that rolls into the corner makes the turn and heads for second the throw in but he's in there easily well the last 10 games or so have been anything but fun at the pl for him so that one has to feel good should be ex around third he'll score and they TI it's three safely into second he's got a double that's two extra hits for this team that Z the midd those are the you got to make them pay and now Rand gritchen and a swing and a miss and now one away well that's the effect of the splitter that you're looking for on the really nice pitch right there and him out in front over the top I'm sure was thinking he was getting something El little straight and to it stays alive s misses struck him out good pitch right there I mean he's attacking a location that this guy the play tends to have and there's just so much information in this day and age sometimes too much information the guys takes it himself to the and that'll do it but a run will score in the Inning on this RBI double we're back and there's a new arm on the mound to start the fif chrisa well they didn't get much length out of their starter in this one so they got a lot ofs to eat up in that for some link out of him right here if they can get it righty to the plate swings and misses it's a strike out slider got him for strike three well that's the money maker right there two stri slid down and away from the same throw as the that's you're looking to protect with two strikes and very difficult to lay off now it's Bel left out a massive home run and they jump out front it's 43 that one just sounded might have been the loudest moment yet man mys Are Ringing I can feel that swing from the looks like this guy was looking out over the but he was ready to turn on theide fast so direct to the pitch absolutely blasted out of this ballpark knocks it down the throw is still in time and they get it out of the play just a great effort all the way around at third base right there nice job to get a B on it with the di but it was the recovery that was so impressive if he doesn't H to his feet and get the throw off in such a fluid motion over there I kind of doubt he gets the out two down nobody on and a swing in the Miss and that's that the Phillies get one by way of the long ball it's bottom of the inning here's the Diamond Backs leadoff hitter haraldo Pomo swinging a miss and it's one and [Applause] two ground ball left side fires over to schwarber and the lead offense set down in their half the jce Peterson stands in now for the diamond packs swing in a miss and a count one and two ground ball up the middle and that chance handled whips it to first two up two down this is important if he can go one two three here will be a very positive sign for him and for his team the DS trailing by a run last half of inning number five nope just off the Inside Edge got a full count outside and that is four it's tough after falling behind a hit two balls and no strikes but now at least he gets a FR a but he needs to get back into the strike zone and start pitching with conviction two outs run on the goal ball outside real mut throws not in time it's a stolen base sing he definitely showed off the wheels there yeah and it turned out to be a bang bang play stat cast gives us the data and that stolen base was impossible without that Sprint speed so first and second with two outs Christian Walker stands in now for the diamonds fouls one away and now three and two two on two outs knocks that one away and we'll do it again Kio that's to third Zips it to First that ends the frame all right we go to the top half of inning number six here's Nicholas castillos this one high in the air to left Center Thomas gets under it HS it in and there's one away yeah I'm looking at his body language and he just doesn't seem like things are in sync and the ball's just not coming off his b the way it did earlier in the regular season line drive and it gets down for a base hit so they get a man aboard with a one out single so now here's DH Alec [Applause] bone ball a strike the pitch in the dirt and the runner holds the 2-1 swing and a pop [Applause] up Peterson pulls it down and there's two [Applause] gone and now for the Phillies Bryson stop two outs and there's a foul ball up the middle Peterson they take the force out and that's the third out so one the one-1 smoked on the ground a second tosses to first one up one down now up next for Arizona Randle gritchen Bas the series for so it's clearly been a rough you just hope he's not pressing too hard because that just compounds things and makes the slump even longer never seem to help never help me fires over to schwarber and that quickly two away next to hit for Arizona Alec to oh this one high and deep way back there holds it in on the warning [Applause] track so they go quietly there seventh inning coming up it's the Phillies four and the Diamond Backs three all set for the start of the inning anding in for Philadelphia marfield good eye on that spot you know these fils diing into their numbers to be swing in a Miss as he was out front that time out to short Pomo fires across the diamond and they get the lead Trey Turner at the plate the line of the pitch and he lays down a bu and foul ball one down base is empty and he drops it down the third basine and that bu goes foul it's a strike out the wide the kick in the onew swing and a miss that one in the dirt and it's in time for the third out so that'll end the inning nothing doing for the offense that time Midway in Inn number and we're back out of the seven and now the catcher comes up to Ronaldo Hernandez that one for strike two two hit in the air center field Marsh on the move one away so back to the top of the Arizona Line's Gregory comes on now OPP to come in and tight late in the B game some of them are just so we'll see what he's got here that's out number two well there he gets the slider in on his hands and it just eats him off it's hard to the B around on a pitch like that in tight you just feel like you're crowded on the inside part of the plate can't get any extension inning over so one two three go to Diamond back here in the desert ready to begin the E so digging in now for Philadelphia edmundo Sosa on the ground right side tosses to first and that's one away as the lead off man is out in the E and now it's going to be Kyle schw K swing the drive deep right field that one carrying that was blasted to the Moon his second home run of the series and they tack on to their lead it's [Applause] 53 now the M for the Diamond Backs Jo man and compared to a lot of other relever strikeouts have not been a big weapon for him this year so the defense should be active and now Nick castanos Walker steps on first for the out now Brandon Mar Brandon March stands in for the Phillies this kid picked up in a trade a lot was offered in given to get him but he's got a real high ceiling that strike out the Phillies another on this solo Homer why doesn't this work and welcome back to the ballark out to the bottom of the E this is and there's a hit soard to start the [Applause] in well singy he is locked in there well he's really slowed the game down it's like he's moving in full speed and everybody is a step or two behind the way that he squared up that baseball tells me that he is seeing it like a beach ball and another ball this is the type of hitter his Club wants it to play especially playing from behind he's hoping to start a rally right here with the tying run at the plate here the bottom half of the e Inn outside and that is ball Christian Walker stands in now for the diamond pack new pitcher on now Sir Anthony Dominguez be extra bases one runs in headed he scores to tie up 55 now everybody their feet knowing that you can come through got him looking one away well just couldn't pull the trigger on the F right there and I don't think he Wasing it thinking it might be or just think he wasat did not that location in my opinion now a chance for Rand grit goes down big strike out there as he to that seconde not yet last out before you can exhale and get back into the Dugout it's kind of tough ah that ends the inning so we take a break but they'll pick up a couple runs here both coming on this two-run double all even at five a piece the N we're back it's the top of the nine and there's a new pitcher on the M Ryan Thompson and as relever go he's not a big strike out guy tries to force weak contact so command and execution are huge for him that one misses lead off maybe a little Los of focus on the right there pretty muched first base with the quicke pass the batter now Bron stop the goahead run aboard at first nobody out on I'll help that's a hit and two on now as they try to rally here big swing of the bat right there 12 mph seemed to explode off the bat right there he put everything together on that swing so that's one of those knocks that feels a little extra sweet really important at B coming up now next to hit wh marfield by drive that's a base hit they won't test it here B is loaded no outs singles back to back anytime you rip a line drive the other way you feel really good about what you did at the pl you trusted your hands you let the ball travel and you took the barrel straight to it that's great work right there now a huge in this game coming up Turner with a chance now here comes a pitch foul ball still one and two count B has loaded nobody out here at the top of the night misses it's a strike out so he needed a strike out there and he got it and now we'll see how they play it defensively yeah now they can move the middle infielders back a little bit get into double play dep and look for a ground and roll it up get a big dou play get out of this tell you what was a stri they really needed [Music] hit so out of the for the diamonds Kyle Nelson just trying to keep this one close here and this is where a bullpen can give their players a chance to fight back into the game and here is s to the pl he's so good trying to drive the ball to the opposite field Gap in these situations if he takes that approach Open Swing Away strike right and that [Music] ofense now they can on ground to a lot to out of stra thatu on the first and that is that JT real M delivers yet again on so bottom of the nine now the DB back's catcher Jeff Hoffman on The Pitch Out of the pen here you his walk his numbers are really impressive he's really filled up the strike zone thison so these B better be ready to swing the bats singy that's a start yeah as soon as that ball got through I could see down in The Dugout guys pumping their fists they know that they got a chance in this ball game there's one and they a dou play one more boys come on to get the double play defensively just one more guy to get this save for the closer so down to their final out next up for the diamond all the way around we saw plenty of action 12 runs total on the board but a pretty close finish at the end a 75 final score in this one you
