Chicago White Sox Vs. Cleveland Guardians. Sep/11/2024 FULL GAME TODAY | MLB Highlights 2024

third Guardians trying to sweep the series and finish the road trip at six and three that'd be a big feather in their cap going forward the white socks they've lost 14 in a row here at home 16 of their last 18 overall the white socks come in with a record of 33 and 113 corner drive and a base hit right up the middle for Steven Quan Boy Rick little by little he's starting to find it well there was a mistake he left a breaking ball up but it did a nice job getting that line drive into center field second time he's L off with the single in the series our story lines are brought to you by Wayside Furniture the Guardians looking for that early lead they scored two in the first inning in the series opener they scored first last night in the second inning of the game the same thing game time temperature 81° expected to hit the mid 80s and that ball down and in one ball one strike Jose two for eight in the series with a double right back up the middle off the glove of Davis and Jose's going to beat it out for an infield single Martin stuck his glove out there but couldn't Corral it and it slowed it down enough for Jose to beat it out I was going to say Jose may want to thank him because that look could have been I want to see where they're playing defensively that could have been a double play ball hit heading up the middle hit it pretty good but by the time he knocked it down Jose able to beat it out so now you have first and second and just one [Music] out JH Naylor coming up boy he been swinging the bat well four for n in the series with a pair of doubles and over his last 11 games hitting at a three remarkable stat High Fly ball deep center field Robert moving over he's got room the runners will Retreat and tag Juan will get to third Ramirez stayed at first and there are two downs he'll get a chance with two outs to give Cleveland the early lead this a guy that's been uh Cente 333 average five doubles that seems like everything he's hitting is hard pitches down low and Ramirez steals the base uncontested is 38th on the year so now a chance to drive in two for Thomas although they count 3 and0 we'll see if Davis Martin chooses to go at him that put uh Jose one away from the lead and Ste in bases I believe yes it does we'll have an interesting four game series yeah he taken all the way rightfully so and you know they they know this they probably circled it this guy's been hot just enough again the 3-2 tops it going be a tough play he's going to get it the throw to first not in time and the Guardians will score two Jose Ramirez came racing around Third never broke stride and on an infield single it's two nothing Cleveland that's just flat out good hustle I knew they weren't going to get Thomas he uh he was going to beat it out he did but on the back end of this Jose just hustling all the way look where he is at third base so he's just going to follow him in he got such a good jump on that with two outs the great thing about it I just talked to manager Steven vote about having to make their own energy and have to have their own plays and what does Jose go out and do gives them the energy they need just woke The Dugout up Dugout yeah give him two two Ries with one swing think Lake Thomas owes Jose a steak he'll be happy to give it to him a two-run infield single that's a rare play yes it is Runner goes throw it on the second it's in time a great throw by Chucky Robinson that'll end the inning with the guard Lise Robert he takes a big slow curveball for strike one go three how we doing guys yeah get that curveball over strike one throws the fast ball by him strike two can I get you anything right now I'll come around and talk wow brck him out on three pitches there six pitches two strikeouts a one ball two strike pitch in hard and in the center left center field for a base hit all right he hit a change up and he didn't get it away where he wanted to it was elevated you can see the upper part of that strike zone so he's able to get it through the infield and get a base [Applause] [Music] knock now Andrew vaugh he's been the one Chicago hitter that's been productive four for eight with a double in the series oh they had him picked it first ball gets away though and down to second base goes Ramos he was dead to rights it looked like [Applause] it it looked like he had him picked let's see where the throw was maybe up the towards the base runner where Josh couldn't really get that ball in play went under him maybe I didn't really see it hard to tell from that Matthew Boyd has thrown 14 pitches in the inning 13 strikes tried to get him to expand his Strike Zone but B unable to check one and two [Music] bond has a hit in each of his last 10 games against Cleveland [Applause] pitching well he just keeps continuing to foul off pretty good pitches and stay alive [Music] [Music] swung out and missed he got him with the change up Boyd strikes out three in the first and we are Cleveland two Chicago nothing after one Kyle manzardo will lead off the second inning for Cleveland swings at the first pitch fils the 21 fast ball is not is that's a rarity now so hitters look off speed in 2-1 counts and sometimes the fast ball you're not looking for it he ends up striking it always look fast while you can adjust to the curve second strike out for Martin it's the breaking Ball but it was [Applause] upstairs John Kenzie Noel he has two walks in the series but offensively he's mired in an 0 for 15 slum he has seen raing the swing at you can have the count in your favor and then really start shrink in the strike zone but they go expanding his Strike Zone as as from the first pitch on that reminds me of a great story that Sandy Alamar told me yesterday and we've worked together long enough you know I I love stories that's my favorite part of the game so Sandy said when Barry Bonds was the hitting coach with the Marlins they were playing the Marlins and he was talking to Barry bar wanted to ask Sandy all about bikes you know cuz s's an avid bicyclist he was asking him questions about that and John Carlos Stanton who's then and the two two swinging Miss he strikes him out four outs all four strikeouts for Matthew Boyd well he's back at his uh normal throwing that change up getting him out front you know gets ahead of him early sometimes with fast ball sometimes he starts out a curve ball it doesn't matter but [Applause] he's and I know you have said for years from personal experience when a pitcher can command the ball to both sides of the plate that makes it difficult because a hitter you can't cover both sides really and you you're talking about different speeds as well you really can't you just got to pick one or the other but that's why you'll get soft contact on a lot of pitchers that can do that they take that sting out of the bat oh backed up a breaking ball and a beauty as it drops over the inside corner and a Full Count yeah he starts it behind him and lets it come to the inside part of the play swinging a foul back good job of just fing that pitch off tried to sneak a heater by [Music] him and the 3-2 he checked good I bat for Fletcher that's the first walk issued by Boy let's check out that Guardians defense brought to you by on the right side with Hedges doing the catching now Chucky Robinson White Sox the former left-hander he said for him he had more trouble when teams had alternating hitters cuz you had to adjust yes you know your your arm slot oh got him on the back leg [Applause] [Music] yeah going back and forth from the right side to the left side to the right side yes you don't get the the path or the tunnel vision that you want for between the two hitters yeah for BA he would say that you know when a team Stacks the lineup with right-handed hitters you just find that zone that arm slot and you just go to work it's kind of like rinse and repeat r no Latina Hispanic heritage celebration presented by Nestle [Music] [Applause] hedge's last home run came back on May the 4th at home against the Angels but he drives that one up and out of here and Cleveland now with a three-run lead in the third a fast ball strike to Steven Quan who singled and scored in the [Applause] first not many players show up to the ballpark there look at look on his face it's like he was in shot big nissa.com are you kidding me moment bang well he got one and I'm sure it felt play [Music] off the plate the only play for vaugh as to go to first and I tell you what he was the little balls and two strikes with Runners at second and third and one out here in the third inning Cleveland in front three to nothing but a chance to really open this baby up Davis Martin already at 60 pitches struck out the side in the second inning W that was right in on his knuckles yeah in off the plate that's that wasn't even a strike but he fouled it off high pop that's playable and that is in foul ground two [Applause] down last time up Lane Thomas on a 3-2 pitch and a little topper he beat it out and not only did Quan score but right behind him Jose Ramirez came home as well yeah you could see before that play Ramirez was in the picture before that third baseman even had the ball [Music] action in the White Soxs [Music] Bullpen 5 nothing Cleveland here in the third wow four ribbies and Heaven hit a ball out of the infield you I mentioned that when he did it in the first inning of to see it twice weak ground ball to Second Jimenez will get the lead Runner no schneeman could not come up with the flip it was a little low it looked like Jimenez couldn't get anything on it he probably should have just went to first base because that that flip he didn't get it up in the air that was a bad flip so we'll see what the what happens and how they score that but you know he was going to have to rush to get it at second base or make a really good flip you know at second look it didn't look as bad as originally thought they do charge him with an air it did hit schneeman in the glove he just couldn't hold on to it well the white sock have an opening here two on nobody out Brian Ramos who singled up the middle his first time up [Music] one ball two strikes right field John Kenzie got turned around and he can't make the play but the runners are only going to advance one base and the bases are going to be loaded with nobody out tell you what jokes and Robert almost ran into each [Applause] other Crown ball away from getting out of it fast ball you can see how even at 91 it gets on him quick whether they he's just got him guessing because he's throwing it so SL in between they don't know what to sit on fast ball change up that they're guessing but that's how you have to prove you know to these hitters you can throw both those pitches for strikes oh he showed up the fast ball that was Up and Away there he's looking for a ground ball that adds to a difficult [Music] inning this is a day game right there's not a full moon somewhere yeah welcome to [Applause] Chicago the onew up the middle himz long throw to first in time and he got him scored in this third inning between the two teams and Mis cues of Plenty on both [Music] [Music] sides would appear that he's going to be able to stay in the game but I'll give him a few pitches oh right to the third baseman for out number [Applause] two so the line drive right at Vargas we'll leave it up to Andre Jimenez to try to get that momentum back this is when the game began to go haywire when Jimenez came to bat in the third he hit a ground ball to First it should have been a routine out but Andrew vaugh took it for the later you see the ball the better trying to get a base knock to left oh goes to the back stop and both Runners will advance now that's a big play there he wasn't going to Chase anything that far outside Robinson comes back and you can see he's just that was not even close he couldn't reach that ball so they will move up on the wild pitch face hit now would really hurt him stayed out there and struck him out Guardian strand a pair mid way through the fourth Guardians lead by one so they got to hope that Boyd can maybe give him five who knows at this [Music] point because you're right he that that third inning took a lot out of yeah it it certainly did High Fly ball to center lane Thomas is there one [Music] down that'll bring up Luis Robert [Music] different inms disagrees with that assessment throw to Second not in time Amaya with some pretty good Wheels swipes second base yeah he had a great jump he was off and running knowing that probably not going to throw over there but steals it easily well you remember early in the year when uh Chicago was there you always have to keep moving and helping everybody [Applause] out you can hit you can hit one down the line and just say oh it's foul and the next thing you know it'll blow back into Fair territory I know it happened to me one time here H the old kisy that's never a good feeling no I mean you're you're out first you know you should be on Second full count for Josh [Music] Naylor he struck him [Applause] [Music] [Applause] out there's the big break puts that uh starting out at the inside corner breaks off the outside corner gets the strike out Fraser Ard has retired all four that he has faced yeah he's he's done a nice job Grady's going to stick with him with the right handed hitting Lane Thomas topping it f Lane's got to remember you can't top it this time will brenon batting for John Kenzie Noel who struck out twice today 0 for9 in the series and hit in his last 17 at bats Bren and checks on a ball down low he'll draw a one- out walk Brennan's Revenge here in the sixth he's got to get a run back after all the grief he took he's got to do something to get him off his back you need a generate another run here guys yeah they [Music] do Daniel schneeman walked his last time up came in batting 306 in his last 12 games so he's been swinging the bat much better Brenan had a big lead over there at first Chucky Robinson threw out lane Thomas trying to steal to in the first inning he's got a good arm yes he does now the two two that's a little low Full Count s walks the leadoff man the light hitting Chucky Robinson and now up comes Jake Amaya you know ARS yesterday we were talking about Grady seore and the the consecutive games played Grady 382 consecutive games you know it it let go it doesn't sound like a lot but when you can play about three years in a row every day three plus it's it's not an easy thing to do you know we see and is playing with a team that has its sets its sight set on going the big banana right and he ends up riding it all the way to the World Series wow and then turned into a heck of a player I was thinking you mean guys blew out hamstrings back in those even back then here's a little Robert 0 for three today Tak a strike baby come on Miss inside three and one and the Guardians have action in the bullpen Kate Smith and Eric soski getting ready sandin walks him so with two down ran Ramos coming up and Steven V is going to go back to the bullpen Guardians lead by one wh Sox going to add to a one-run lead man zardo gets his first down and in he likes that man that he likes that ball down there he drives it to right Thomas goes all the way to third so an opportunity to add on here which would be a nice thing Chill Will he walked as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning he'll get a chance to knock in a run now Brennan has batted 313 for the year with runners in scoring [Music] position over his last 23 games Brennan has batted 314 he's been a better hitter since his trip to Columbus yeah you know Matt I sent this to you in between Innings we talking about the White Soxs and just what they're going through and I looked it up Chicago Cubs have 26 wins versus American League teams this year the white socks have 22 perch wow I mean that is incredible to me I mean yeah there's nothing good that that are going to come out of the numbers you're looking at with the white socks for this year I mean you can't find a good one no the Cleveland Spiders record is safe though that's the the all-time record but that goes back to 1899 when they lost 134 games and you know that doesn't count if it's in the 1800s but because of that they're thought of as a horrible disaster of a FR they were a national league team but they were thought of a basically a horrible disaster of a franchise and yet seven years before that they were in the World Series chopped off the plate only play for VA is that first that gets a run home to make it 64 two down in the inning but Brennan gets the job done you put it in play you get the run home e e field slicing off The netting than [Applause] EXC down low two balls two strikes that's up high and a Full Count swing and a miss rokio strikes out to in the inning but the Guardians get a big Insurance run they lead now six to four as we head to the bottom of the eigh [Music] [Applause] [Music] one two highfly Ball Deep center field Meadows is there Parker Meadows thieves a home run from r he planted he jumped and he made himself into a poster all 6'5 look at this yes to right center field and deep on its way and it is gone at Fenway Park Mike ymy and how about your son hitting a homer yky is and thin W that just feels right pretty cool let's go and even Red Sox fans not all of them but even Red Sox fans are giving him a cheer Machado drives one to deep left field it is back and it is gone three-run home run for Manny Machado a blast in Soul South Korea Padres take it 15 to 11 lead oh my goodness it was a change up it was a hanger middle in above the belt buckle and there was no doubt about this [Music] [Applause] one Guardians live presented by your Northern Ohio Toyota dealers coming up next Al paloski Chris jimnez we recap the highlights this one's been a doozy some really odd and rare Feats the Guardians have scored five runs today the only ball that left the infield that netted a run was the solo Homer by Austin Hedges great two two-run infield singles by Lane Thomas and the RBI ground out from will Brennan that's incredible hter Gattis pitching for the third day in a row he worked twoth thirds of a scoreless inning in the series opener last night he pitched to 1 two 38th inning and that's what he'll attempt to do again here today Brian rokio stays in the game he's a short Dominic Fletcher he had an infield RBI single himself in the third inning that was the really bizarre inning top half and bottom half yeah that's when they scored all four their runs the top half of the inning that's when Chicago had the mental laps by the first baseman vaugh then ended up costing them two runs the bottom half you had an error by Jimenez a Bok by Matthew Boyd yes a flyball to right field that had Noel kind of twisting and turning around a foul ball that Menace overran it was a very weird inning hter Gattis gets the strike out one down here in the eighth comes back with the change up here I mean that started atam and you can see how it comes down into the strike zone Andrew Ben and tendi will pitch H for Chucky Robinson Robinson struck out twice [Music] today on Buy come on fast ball strike Ben and tendi was over for four last night but in his last 35 games he's knocked in 24 runs with nine doubles and eight homers it was Ben and Tindy who broke up Joey cantillo perfect game bid on Monday with the two- out single in the seventh inning [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] swing and a miss he just powered it right by him honor Gattis has struck out the first two in the eighth pitching for the third day in a row Rick and his stuff looks just as good yeah he hasn't messed around you're right he came right back and went with the fast ball to get the out another pinch hitter this will be Gavin sheets the bat for jakaya Brady seore is emptying his [Music] bench long out and missed it's over and two it's that time of day too where the Shadows crept out halfway to the pitcher M the 02 just blew it by him again honter Gattis strikes out the side in an overpowering performance here today [Music] one two highfly Ball Deep center field Meadows is there Parker Meadows theves a home run from Raleigh he planted he jumped and he made himself into a poster oh 6' five look at this [Music] here's the payoff and a swing and that Ball's well struck deep out to right center and on the chase that one just off the wall and that is in a big time trouble spot lford into third the Wen here he [Applause] comes there's the first big wiing Homer for Wyatt lford and what a way to get it [Music] it's a quick 02 that one didn't there comes Yelich to the plate and Yelich is safe at home how does he throw the ball back to the pitcher from a knee he looks up I mean a great move by weather is just a bare handed and throw it back but as a lefty the first thing you need to do is be looking over at third base and moving that direction just in case but honestly that hardly ever happens copyrighted telecast is presented by authority of the Cleveland

runs today once again they were able to put two on the board in the first inning always nice when they do that it's been a while though there's a ball smashed up the middle so Quan is aboard with one out here in the ninth and that'll bring up Andre [Applause] simz well he just challenged him with a good fast ball right there stayed on it again into the middle part of the field where most of or all of his hits have come four hits in the series for Quan now up comes Andre simz he has two hits today last time up he was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a [Applause] double hey you're done you just bring that b now one one it's off the plate two balls in the strike [Music] [Music] 11,252 turned out on a beautiful day for the series finale here in [Music] Chicago tried to hold up he went two and two it's got to be great to have Arch count all those fans out for you he was trying he got to 879 and quit gave all right I couldn't see the ones down the right field line neither could they fou off to the left you see he got a no hitter attct Andre in Dave Sims reached out to me and he said good job I'm glad you just said that he heard us talking about what happened with Will brenen Dave Sims does play byplay radio and television for the Seattle Mariners he said it's not on us we're allowed to say no hitter we can say these things just not in Dugout great just not the Dugout we have nothing to do with it for all the fans that tweet and text and all that other stuff it's not on us it's just the Dugout right Vince Scully called enough of him he talked about it on the air it's good enough for vin it's good enough for all of us yeah I would imagine well he needs three outs and he can have a no hitter tell you what about two innings ago Lindor hit a p right at the first basem that was the hardest ball that's been hit nothing else has been hit hard Runner goes ball hit the right field Fletcher on the Run makes a nice running catch and scampering back to First is Jimenez or rather Quan two down J menz with a nice bid to drive one over his head well he hit that ball a little cutter or a little slider whatever it may be but he hit it hard Fletcher goes back Fletcher's had a pretty good series here and he's a good Defender that's the one thing that you know people talk about defensively he's a really good outfielder he's hit two of our pitchers in this series too in the two days so he's pretty good hitter too Jose Ramirez one for four not sure what's going on here with Anderson is the pitch com not working I don't know he's talking to the catcher Lee right now he's pushing the buttons and maybe he's not must be something about Anderson versus he's pitching he's pushing the buttons Anderson's not use your fingers so they need a new pitchcombe have a second that reminds me you're talking about no hitter we're talking about the 1892 Cleveland Spiders that went to the world series one of the members on that team was a guy by the name of burette years later brette goes to the St Louis Browns Addie JS in his first Big League game had a no hitter with two outs in the ninth inning and Jesse burette with the St Louis Browns hits a Fly ball to right field Zaza Harvey comes racing in makes what looks to be a shoe top catch except there was only one umpire in those days behind home plate he said he trapped the ball and called it to hit and Addy Jos could have had a no hitter in his major league debut well those gloves they used back then they were little cushions you know there was no webbing no webbing no replay no other umpires no pitch C Jose sends a high popped to left Cory jokes jogging in makes the catch we'll go to the bottom of the ninth here in Chicago guards by two a rookie Adrien del Castillo and a second major Le game it's a Fly ball to right field and he's the first player in Diamondbacks history whose first career home run is a walk-off winner Diamondbacks win it unbelievable his second Big League game that's his third hit tonight his first major league home run is a walk-off [Music] winner hi fly Ball Deep Center cowser back track wall seya backto back sto and judge 61 Yanks now that's a new Yankee team record 34 home runs before the allstar break he was in a tie with Maris so he has 34 before the break and he's going to Texas for the All-Star [Music] Game a child high fly deep left Center off the wall here's the throw to the plade inside the [Applause] parkon a pinch hit inside the Parker baseball is awesome well it hits Off the Wall out there as the two outfielders converge and it shoots away from them that's when Jr house said hey Stewart come on [Music] home nickname of polar bear he sends one deep to right field ranging back as nuke bar at the wall there it is history [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] bottom of the ninth in Chicago Emanuel CL on to pitch the N Guardians relievers have struck out the last five white socks hitters in a row julks fouls the first pitch back from class julks one for four on the afternoon with a single and a run [Applause] scor L's 67th appearance of the year go slow Chopper up the middle cut off by rokio one [Applause] down now to bring up Luis Robert who is 0 for three with a walk and a run scored today [Applause] tied him up wow redb bird just dropped a pretty good nugget so the White Sox had nine starters today plus two pinch hitters all 11 have struck out at least one time today yeah there's a lot of KS on the card Matthew Boyd struck out nine Nick sandin struck out a pair so did Cade Smith and Hunter gatis struck out the side in the eighth got this are the bra back out of play [Music] [Applause] Robert Staying Alive Now the onew there's a line drive and a bullet right back up the middle that came in at 101 it probably left quicker than that well he was short to the baseball early in the count he was able to get inside there and that's how they pitched him but he got enough swinging room on this swing that he hit it right back up the Middle with a good swing on it now you bring the tying run to the plate and Brian Ramos has had a good series swinging the bat he homered in the series open his first big league home run he has two hits today takes a fast ball inside [Applause] [Applause] Steven vot said that what he has come to appreciate the most about CL is that he loves to pitch yeah he can throw 101 he's got an overpowering fast ball but he said this guy really loves the art of pitching trying to paint trying to move it in and out and change speeds effectively he has thrown a lot a lot more hitters inside this year you know right from the [Music] start two balls and two strikes with one on and one out and he getss the swing and a miss strikes him out with a good slider two down and that's a great example of what I was just talking about it's not just the 101 but it's this on the outside corner I mean you have to swing at it that's the equalizer two down Andrew vaugh the batter 0 for four today but always a tough out F out of [Music] [Music] play they're not going to hold Luis Robert because his run doesn't matter he'll be running on the pitch swing and a miss it's O and two white socks down to their last strike Robert now at second [Applause] base and the 02 pitch book it a slider on the outside corner completes the sweep for Cleveland save number 44 for Emmanuel CL and the Guardians will head home with a record of 84 and 62 on the year L with his 44th save now just two behind Jose Mesa for the single season record in franchise history well they did what they had to do coming to Chicago you figured okay you got to go take advantage of it and get them and they certainly did a little bit closer to today but they won their three head home and now we have 16 games to go and only three are on the road so they get back home after this long road trip and a nice road trip you know it hasn't always been perfect for this team this year and it's not perfect for a lot of teams that win during the course of a Big League season but for me the mark of a good club is always when you can win even when you don't play your best baseball and that was the case here today yeah sure was yeah I mean it it was a strange Game Boy came out and on fire you know and he couldn't even go five innings today because that third third inning took a lot of out of them but they hung in there they had the lead they hold on and make it a six to four win so that that that's a good ball game Let's head home big home stand starts tomorrow night at Progressive Field we'll be back with you on Friday night stay tuned now for Guardians live postgame Al paloski Chris jimnez all the highlights analysis interviews and more coming up next [Music] [Music] the Phillies than anybody else that one's out to left that's pretty well hit hernandz is going back on the run out to the scoreboard and it is gone swing and a hot shot out toward right center field that's got a chance it is gone out to center field that one's well hit going back back his P has it is gone he's hit one the left he's hit one the right and now he hits one to center [Music] field Hayes hits it deep to Right Center Harris is back he reaches up Oh my he brought it back what a grab by Michael Harris to keep it two to nothing you see the angle he's going about it it looks like he's got it tracked and he gets right to that position and launches himself over the fence he's like [Music] really 1 oh and this ball in the air to deep center field to toia hit another one he just did and he's tied it up this ball is a little bit toward the end but it's still deep and it's gone that is gone that was over the orange line I believe this ball is touched to left center field it's got a chance to be his third how do you like that a three hoverer game for Big [Music] Mike now the pitch the swing and the throw goes to Second Ramirez off and he's in easily well josy just trying to spark this club some way somehow has now become the first Cleveland Indian or Guardian to ever have two 3030 [Music] [Music] Seasons welcome in to Guardians live brought to you by your Northern Ohio Toyota dealers Toyota Let's Go Places another save for Manuel CL Cleveland gets a sweep against the Chicago White Sox and guess who has at the moment the best record in the American League that would be us would that would be us be us the Cleveland Guardians Chris jimz Al palowski great to have you so a six to4 win is the final today and an early home run by Austin Hedges gave Cleveland at the time some Breathing Room yes thank goodness great to see obviously you can tell he's been grinding a little bit uh offensively he has taken some better at bats you know as of late but it's always nice to see that prestigious power come back yeah here it is his second home run of the season kind of hung a breaking ball inside there and he made him pay good swing honestly he got a barrel to it he stayed through the baseball you can see he knew it was gone that's always such a fun feeling to remember again when it's been a long time like that um trust me I think uh Dugout was The Dugout was a little excited for him right there he's usually the one in the Dugout you know causing all the havoc in there getting these guys fired up but it was really nice to see him come out on the winning end of that all right Austin Hedges right now standing by in Chicago with Andre not there are numbers in baseball that hold importance to all of us for the Guardians they got the sweep today and go 22 games over 500 I know people can look at teams records they can look at different things hedi but how important was it for you guys to take care of business here this week I mean it's September man it's uh it's time to go try and take this Division and uh you know Chicago's in in division rival and we knew we had to come out and play good baseball they played us tough for three straight games and I felt uh you know we we played good baseball we still got uh Room to Grow but uh we're we're playing good ball right now I would think that people that just look at the box score say oh the Guardians won but you had a great third inning and then the bottom of the third inning didn't go well talk about leadership and carrying on and make playing the right way well how important was it for you guys to get the game under control after that yeah I mean you know uh they scored four runs but we still have the lead and uh you know the boys know that we didn't really play our best baseball that inning uh but we respond so well it's like you know right when uh things go wrong I feel like the boys know exactly how to respond and uh you know I thought our bats were good and then you know they didn't score any more runs the rest of the game so um you know that's hat hats off to our pitching staff talking about that Boyd comes out striking out guys left and right can't get through the fifth inning we saw the bullpen do it last night just for the people out there you've catch these guys you're around them what is it about this Bullpen that they're able to do this night in and night out I mean they just show up every day they all want the ball um it doesn't matter if they've thrown uh you know three days in a row I know 100 GA us threw three days in a row for us and you I was some of the besties look today so these guys want the ball they're hungry they know they're the best bullpen in the league and they want to prove it to the world all right everybody has home runs they remember you you have the ball from your first home run I got the ball from my first one yeah I'm going to need this one though this is a big one did you get this one for this one this is a big one right here if you want to count how many I got now go ahead I I've been counting you know I got all the way to like 65 then I was like little bit more a little bit more because back in Spring trading if you guys remember enroll with us he wanted you to tell me that you had the second most home runs career-wise he did not but today he hit number 69 that's right how important was that for you that's right I got one more than Lane Thomas now he's got 68 if he gets a 69 I'll be proud of him that we'll all be very proud of him I love you I love you hey we're going to keep talking because of the first game tonight of this series I had Naylor out here and he was in there talking about me cuz he couldn't Crown somebody so we're just going to keep talking so I got to get in there I got to get in there you do got to get in there the sweep for the C good job edgi all right let's take a look at the 3D for Austin Hedges as he sent this one out to left yeah 34° launch angle that's pretty much ideal between 25 and 30 5 from a degree standpoint from a long jle is a great place to be if you're trying to hit homers over the fencing they have set up in the Alit you can see the distance there as well you know was able to have plenty uh of distance there from the foul pole wasn't in any danger of going foul this was just a really good swing by Austin H all right you talked about the bullpen a little bit too and the bullpen once again phenomenal shut out baseball four and two thirds Innings uh two hits one walk nine strikeouts today combined for the bullpen Kate Smith dominating once again goes in an inning and a third he gets four four strikeouts so all the outs he got were what yeah strikeouts yeah I mean this is uh extremely impressive the best part is he did it on 17 pitches he only hit three strikeouts I believe but he did it on 17 pitches which is absolutely insane the rest of this Bullpen went to work as well it's so nice to have a guy like this down there that you can throw in in any situation know he's capable of not running that pitch count up as well all right Hunter gtis won an inning he had the three strikeouts struck out the side in the eighth inning he did he looked uh like a big machine at the back end of a bullpen right now this is just overpowering stuff two pinch hitters yes they haven't seen pitches today but these are really good established Major League hitters he made them look silly today all right so the bullpen has been fantastic all season long for Cleveland it's got the best ER in all of Major League Baseball it's been that way for a while here's the way it went today it's the 53rd game of three or more scoreless Innings uh for relief pitchers that does lead MLB as well I bet it does you know we we've been saying it over and over but it it has come to fruition this is the best Bullpen yeah you got class he's the best closer in the game right you've got gtis and Smith who you could argue the best setup men of the game but it's also the depth in front of them today it was Nick sandin I know he's had some rough times the last couple of months but he pitched well today and he has some other guys that have come in in front of these guys Tim Heron is another one that has done a nice job so it's it's the depth I think more than anything that really seals the deal for this Bullpen yeah you're right that's the sign of a quality Bullpen is going out there and having multiple guys that you can throw in in different situations we obviously know Steven vot's not afraid to go to these guys early and often right so you got to have that depth that can cover those Innings down there they've done that so far and they've done it with you know flying colors really they certainly have and when we come back here on Guardians live we'll hear from Steven vote get his thoughts on today's win in Chicago as the guards get the sweep and Austin edges one yard for the second time this year Homer pitch baby Homer pitch we're back after this it's been said you should mess with a good thing [Applause] [Music] four runs so far through three and two3 this ball skyed into left field that'll send Austin Hayes back he's near the wall he looks up it's gone that ball scalded to center field yordon crushes one to straightway Center Chazzy Fizz followed up by yordon with a smash to Center three in a row the big man is on fire three straight home runs a laser beam over the wall in [Music] Center I lift the oppos give that man a contract seven up seven down all Bea the strikeout for skes 11 strikeouts for schemes six Innings of no hit base ball in his first career start on the road what

money at Menards on all your home improvement needs and by Medical Mutual Ohio's Hometown Medicare insurer guards a winner again today 6 to4 they sweep the Chicago White Sox they've won three in a row now and Cleveland is playing some very good baseball they'll come home for an eight-game home stand beginning tomorrow with Tampa Bay that'll start out a four game series welcome back Chris jimz Al palowski Matthew Boyd today unfortunately for one inning did not get the defensive support he needed but overall I thought looked pretty good he gave up four runs but only one was earned yes only one earned run there nine strikeouts for Boyd today yeah he looked like vintage Matt Boyd from when I remember him pitching in Detroit against us all those years ago you know he did a good job of establishing the strike zone we talked about it in the pregame show about Joey cantillo kind of setting up you know the game plan for him to be really successful today yeah he had a little blip in the radar there in the third inning when the defense you know trying to make a play Just wasn't able to give up a four spot again only one of those runs earned I think the most important part though is you saw the change up it looked really good the breaking ball he utilized that when he needed to and he blew guys away with his fastball and if you utilize those two breaking pitches enough in the strike zone it makes that fastball play up even more sure because you're you're looking at maybe something off speed and then you get the fast ball can't catch up you saw that a lot today right you saw these guys kind of in between those pitches that's when you know you're doing the right thing from a catching and a pitching standpoint all right let's send it back to Chicago right now check in with the manager it's brought to you by your Northern Ohio Toyota dealers here is Steven vote what' you think of boy today you know I thought Matt really battled um you know that first thing he came out you know foul tip away from a Immaculate inning and then I felt like his command and just like there the zip on his pitches wasn't quite there today and um they did a really good job of battling him um you know we didn't have the cleanest inning there and they took advantage of it and um it was a very uncharacteristic inning for us but I thought Matt threw the ball well you just ran out of pitches that third inning you guys score the runs and they get back and you talk about concentration and Leadership just what does it say that that inning had happened you guys bounced back and kept the lead yeah I think that that's just a testament to this group I mean that's an inning right there where it gets away from you you let them back into the game and and you can just sit back and relax the rest of the way or or play you know timid but we didn't we stayed on it and we were able to add on and what you think a hunter G us I the whole bu but gtis I think third day in a row yeah this was first time for him going three in a row and I mean man his stuff look good so all these guys are are pitching in every situation they're they're getting experience for for down the road and um just the job that they do every night is you can't talk about it anymore Lane Thomas gets four RB on two I mean what's it say about your base Runing and and just making contact that yeah I mean I think it's you know not not only are our guys busting you know down the line but you know both H and hosy they were thinking score right off the that and you know that's the base running that we talk about from spring training we want that's how we want to run the bases and that's how these guys always run the bases they run hard they they don't take any out for granted they're trying to they're trying to you know cause some chaos was Boyd okay after he got hit yeah he's got a bruise um was pretty it looked a lot worse than it is um thankfully um X-rays were negative so uh he should be good to go with Thomas he's coming up real even though they two hits today that produce the RVs get out of the infield he's like 400 this month he's really he's a really good player and we're glad we have him is it every day a good day that hedi hits a home run yeah you can't help but you know celebrate when hedi goes deep and um these guys they clown on each other so hard it's it's so much fun to just be around what uh overall with the with the trips I think six and three you got how do you feel about I I feel incredible about it I mean this was a tough road trip I mean this late in the year to be gone for three cities play some really tough teams and
