Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi carves up White Sox

>> IT WAS A WINNABLE GAME BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS WON @#THE THIRD GAME AS A FINAL OF 2-1. THEY WERE CLOSE, BUT THEY DID NOT COME OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS ONE. I AM ALONGSIDE SCOTT PODSEDNIK, FRANK THOMAS, I LEILA RAHIMI . WE WORRIED ABOUT THE @#START, THE THEY CAME AFTER TWO LATE DOUBLE-HEADER GAMES, THE WHITE SOX GETTING ROBBED THANKS TO THAT JANKOWSKI CATCH. THREE HITS TOTAL. >> I WAS EXCITED UNTIL I SAW WHO WAS PITCHING. WHEN EOVALDI IS ON THE @#IS ON. THIS GUY IS A BIG- TIME PITCHER. HE HAS BEEN BIG IN THE POSTSEASON. I AM NOT SURPRISED. >> HERE IT IS. >> LADY AND A CHAMP. A GOOD @#OLD-FASHIONED ENGLISH BULLDOG. >> >> REMEMBER THAT LATER IN THE SHOW. >> THIS RANGERS CLUB IS NOT AS POWERFUL AS THEY WERE LAST YEAR AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON. THESE TWO GAMES PRIOR TO THIS @#WERE WINNABLE, THIS WAS AS WELL, JUST ONE OR TWO HITS AWAY FROM THE SOX GETTING BACK INTO IT. BUT, FRANKLY, YOU SAID IT, EOVALDI WAS FILTHY. HIS BODY LANGUAGE THEY WAS FUNNY. HE WAS @#MAD AT HIMSELF WHEN HE WASN'T FINDING THE STRIKE ZONE. HE HAD A REALLY GOOD MIX OF FIVE PITCHES. >> WHEN HE IS ON, HE IS ON. TODAY HE HAD IT. I AM NOT SHOCKED. >> AND WE KNOW WHAT HE DOES IN THE POSTSEASON. THE CLOSER YOU GET TO THE FALL HE WILL TURN IT @#UP. >> YOU CAN TELL HOW COMPETITIVE HE IS. HOW HIGH THE RENDERED IS FOR HIMSELF. WHEN HE WASN'T PUTTING THE BALL WHERE HE WANTED HE WAS FRUSTRATED WITH HIMSELF. HE EXPECTS EXCELLENCE OF HIMSELF. HE WAS A TREAT TO WATCH IT TODAY. >> HE WAS @#A GAMER. ALTHOUGH HE WASN'T THE 1994 EOVALDI. >> [ LAUGHTER ] >> DID YOU GET A CROWN AND EVERYTHING? >> PROBABLY, I WILL BRING IT NEXT @#TRIP. >> NOT EVERYONE CAN BE THAT GOOD-LOOKING. >> [ LAUGHTER ] IT IS A REALLY TOUGH LIFE FOR THESE TWO. [ INDISCERNIBLE - OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] >> SOME @#1994 NOSTALGIA. >> THAT KIDS ARE TRYING TO BRING THE 90s BACK. >> I WISH WE WERE YOUNG. >> I WISH I HAD SOMETHING GOING ON. >> THOSE ARE THE FACTS. @# >> INDEED. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE CONTRACT OF HOSEA BRIEL. GOOD EXAMPLE. SHOUT OUT TO JOSE ABREU. I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT I WANT TO DO THIS. WE ARE GOING BACK IN TIME. THIS ISN'T GOOD. IT IS NOT IDEAL AS WE SEE THE WHITE SOX @# CREEP UP TO THE MOST LOSSES IN A SEASON, THEY ARE NOW ONLY TWO WAY. 1970 WAS THE YEAR THAT I WAS PROM QUEEN. IT DEFINITELY WAS NOT 2023 OR 2018. LET'S @#GET BACK TO THE MAN OF THE DAY, EOVALDI. LIKE WE SAID THE CLOSER IT GETS TO FALL THAT MAN KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. THIS IS THE PITCHING RECAP BROUGHT TO YOU BY LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE. ONLY TWO WALKS. I FEEL LIKE HE THREW 12 DIFFERENT PITCHES. >> @#IT SEEMS THAT WAY. HE HAD ZIP ON THE FASTBALL. HE HAD A CUTTER, A CURVEBALL, 97 ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PLATE. THE VELOCITY WAS GOING FOR HIM TODAY. ONLY TWO WALKS. HE DIDN'T @#PUT ANYONE ON AFTER THAT AND HE WENT RIGHT AT THESE WHITE SOX HITTERS. HE WAS FEELING IT. >> HE IS ALWAYS ABLE TO PINPOINT THAT FASTBALL BUT WHEN THAT SPLIT AND CUTTER IS ON GOOD LUCK. THE CUTTER AND SPLIT HER IN @#THE ZONE. >> ALSO THE WAY HE WAS ABLE TO PINPOINT AND HOW HE WAS GOING. HE WAS USING THE OUTER HALF OF THE PLATE TO LOCATE INSIDE. THAT IS WILD. >> THAT CURVEBALL WAS GOING TOO. I MEAN HE HAS HAD @#TWO TOMMY JOHN SURGERIES, HE CONTINUES TO GET BETTER. WATCH OUT THE REST OF THE AMERICAN LEAGUE. >> YOU CAN TELL THIS GUY LOVES TO COMPETE. YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT IS ON THE INSIDE OF THIS GUY PICK HE LOVES THE @#BIG STAGE. >> OR HE WILL CREATE ONE FOR HIMSELF AS WE SAW TODAY. LET'S GO TO IN INNING WHERE WE SAW EXCELLENT FIELDING, THE BOTTOM OF THE EIGHTH INNING WHEN THE WHITE SOX HAD A CHANCE, THEY HAD A WINNABLE GAME, DOWN 2- 0, @#MAN ON, WE SEE THE WILD PITCH ADVANCE THE RUNNER. THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE RALLY GOING AND DOMINIC FLETCHER MADE IT TO THIRD BASE. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME A WHITE SOX PLAYER TOUCHED HER THE ENTIRE GAME. >> THIS ENTIRE SERIES @# THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A BIG HIT WITH A RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION. OUTSIDE OF LENYN SOSA, HITTING WITH RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. THAT GAME YESTERDAY WAS ONE EXTRA HIT BY THE RANGERS THAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN THAT GAME. COREY SEAGER IS JUST @# A GOOD BASEBALL PLAYER. >> WHAT A PLAYER. THROWING FROM YOUR SEATS. >> BUT HE DIDN'T PANIC. >> HE EARNED HIS CHECK. I THINK THE DODGERS REGRET NOT SIGNING @# HIM. >> ANDREW BENINTENDI WITH A HOME RUN AGAINST KIRBY YATES. THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN TOO OFTEN. >> SHORT OF ASLEEP AND IT BROKE MY HEART. JONAH HEIM YOU HAVE GOT TO CATCH @#THAT ALL. >> WHEN YOU MAKE MISTAKES THEY WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU JUST LIKE YESTERDAY. THAT MISTAKE COST THE RANGERS A RUN. >> THAT WAS THE NEXT PITCH. >> TWO PITCHES LATER. >> AFTER WE SAW THAT THE WHITE SOX WERE NOT ABLE TO GET @# ANYTHING ELSE GOING. GAVIN SHEETS YOUR PICK TO CLICK. >> KIRBY YATES HAS HAD A GREAT SEASON. >> THEY ALMOST GOT TO HIM. HE DID NOT HAVE FIELD FOR @#THAT CUTTER. HE WASN'T AS SHARP, ALMOST GOT TO HIM BUT ALMOST DOES NOT COUNT. >> YOU ARE STILL HAPPY ABOUT THE PICK TO CLICK. >> OF COURSE HE IS. A HAPPY FLIGHT HOME TONIGHT. >> HERE IS A LOOK AT HOW THE WHITE SOX HAVE STRUGGLED TO PUT RUNS ON THE BOARD. THAT IS @#FIRST IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES. 39 ONE RUN OR LESS GAMES. THAT IS WHEN IT STARTS TO GET EGREGIOUS. THEY ARE FIRST IN EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY. NOT ENOUGH HITS WHEN PEOPLE ARE ON BASE TO SCORE RUNS. A LOT OF SOLO FOUR @# RUNS. >> THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE THIS RECORD. IT IS A DISASTER. >> STARTING PITCHING AND THE BULLPEN WAS PUT IN THIS TEXAS SERIES. THE PITCHING STAFF DID THEIR @#JOB THIS SERIES, THE OFFENSE COULDN'T GET ANYTHING GOING. >> A REAL STEP FORWARD FOR NICK NASTRINI FOR WENT INTO THIS GAME WITH AN E.R.A. OVER EIGHT. HE GOES DOWN TO CHARLOTTE, HE HAD A TWO E.R.A. OVER HIS LAST FOUR STARTS. HE HAD A REALLY NICE PERFORMANCE TODAY. >> HE WAS @#OUTSTANDING TODAY. WE TALKED ABOUT WALKS BEING A PROBLEM FOR HIM COMING INTO THIS GAME. HE WENT DOWN TO CHARLOTTE, WORKED ON HIS A GAME, SHARPENED UP HIS MECHANICS. ONLY ONE WALK TODAY. HE KEPT THE BALL AROUND THE STRIKE ZONE. @# HE MIXED AND MATCHED THE FASTBALL WITH A SLIDER. HE MIXED IN SOME CHANGE-UPS BUT REALLY NICE SIX INNINGS OF WORK. >> YOU COME UP EARLY, YOUNG, YOU GO DOWN TO WORK ON YOUR CRAFT, YOU COME BACK MUCH MORE RELAXED. @# GOOD FOR HIM. HE IS SHOWING GROWTH. THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE TO LEAN ON PITCHING THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. WE HAVE GOT A LOT OF YOUNG ARMS THAT CAN HELP US. >> IT WAS NICE TO WATCH HIM. X INNINGS, GOING TOE @# TO TOE WITH A PLAYOFF READY PITCHER ENTRY INTO. TO LOCATE THE FASTBALL THE WAY HE DID, IT WASN'T JUST TWO PITCHES HE WAS WORKING WITH. THAT TIME IN CHARLOTTE HE USED TO HIS ADVANTAGE. >> HE GAVE HIS TEAM A QUALITY START. WE @#JUST COULDN'T TOUCH EOVALDI. >> ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE LOSS BUT IT WAS AN
