Mlb The Show Phillies vs Dbacks Game

hello Baseball fans and welcome just about set to go now and on the bound here today Zack Gall tell us about him in that sub three er sigy well anytime you can keep your ra under three you're doing a lot of things right and you're putting your team in a position to win a lot of games as well and he's doing tremendous out there on the every time he gets the ball you expect him to go out there and dominate and that's what he's been to this point we'll see how he is today kicks and deal out there to Center Peterson drifts towards it makes the grab one up one down and time now for the Phillies lineup it's been a real struggle for this group dead last in the league in hits so a lot of empty swings and soft contact leads to not much scoring Chris yeah could build an i five wind with this lineup the way these guys swinging Miss I don't know exactly what it is I mean these guys are professional but it's just been up and down the lineup this year just swinging and missing clearly they got to make some adjustments major changes are needed because these guys aren't going anywhere they continue to have the trouble they're having making contact that one hit to right Carol has a beat on it HS it in for the out and there's two down third two outs Bas is empty and now for the Phillies Bryce Harper Harper two down dolman and another ball swing and a miss and that one missed by a ton well and those hitters count sometimes can be a little too aggressive and a good pitcher will play off of that he's got to get a better pitch to hit J he is sa and that was bang bang at first big knock there to keep the inning alive and an opportunity to put something in the Gap and give the Phillies the lead so man aboard Kyle schwarber comes up to hit here inside almost got him Harper off of first with two away Allen checks on the runner Harper's back going to die well they're really running up to pitch count in this first Inn lots of Confidence from this team that is perhaps the hottest in baseball right now goes down swinging for the strike out couldn't hit the fast at the knee bottom of the first now it's the short stop haraldo Pomo on the ground to third B goes out to first one gone bottom half of the first now it's Chase Peterson grab ball up the middle and it's through for a hit so man aboard now with one away [Applause] Corby Carol swings it now good power and he's homered off some really big over to stop for one Double Play What a twin killing second inning set to go now here is Nick castanos one of the things amazing with Zack think about the players he's been traded with and for in December of 17 and alra were dealt to Miami from the Cardinals for Marcel Ozuna then ultimately in July of 19 he went to Arizona Jazz Chism anytime you rip a line drive the other way you feel good what you did at theed your hands the and you took the straight to it that's great work right there Brandon Marsh steps to the plate nabs it and there's one down and now it's Alec [Applause] bone and a pitch on the ground right side four six three it's a double play and that'll do a bottom half of inning number two here's guel and the [Applause] pitch RI to First red B is a positive sign even though it probably doesn't feel like it he hit the ball hard but it doesn't always work out in your favor sometimes a Defender is there to make a play stop throws the first and a couple of quick outs and now it's Christian Walker good arm and sink on that pitch right there got inside on and got him toce that out the throw to first and Arizona is set down back here at Chase Field top half of the the third inning this is Bryson stop left hand batter weights inside almost got him now a highfly ball out to left Center guel makes the catch and there's one gone with marfield up to the plate [Music] swanging a pop up Peterson under it two down so the batting order turns over and here is sosa to the play the pitch in the air right field and makes the play and that's out number three back here in the desert AIO Suarez up to hit now h on the ground to the right side and it finds it way through for a hit man aard on the lead off single not much to this to the other the te nice jobay back and let the Deep swing and a miss as he was out front that time line drive caugh that's a b first of the Inn he showed offs catching the line dri but mostly he kept the runner out of scoring position things would look a little different if he didn't make that play Still T at zero last to the third next offering is in for a [Applause] strike maybe a two ball five four three double play and the inning is over no runs h no errors and no one left three Innings complete we're tied nothing nothing and we're back as we go to the top of the fourth JT real mtil steps in in the air to left down the line guel has it sized up makes the catch and there's one down Bryce Harper to the [Applause] plate misses out side three and one all tied up as we play game one of this four game series swing in a Miss he was late strike two the Chuck out really love the pitch sequence right there I'm telling you what pitcher and catcher on the same page right now so here's the Phillies DH Kyle schwarber wobber to right field way [Music] [Applause] back a massive home run his 38th of the year and they jump out front it's one nothing he absolutely crushed that one no doubt about that one Bo we knew it wasn't coming back singy this was a mammoth home run over 400 60 ft according to stack pass you know boo there only maybe 20 or so guys in the game that can hit a baseball that far and it's absolutely crazy it's even that many such an impressive swing of the bat right there and a to miss there two out Bas is empty and it finds its way through for a head [Music] come on boys two outs runner at first so digging in now for Philadelphia Brandon Marsh two outs that and anyone hear me down line to get there that's much better let's go that is that the Phillies get one by of the long it's now one nothing you're watching Major League Baseball on the show ready to go bottom four here's a Diamond Backs lead off hitter haraldo pom there's the strike but not throwing a ton of first pitch strikes usually doesn't work out for success but he can never predict baseball K it in for the out that swing right there tells me he's seeing the ball pretty well I know it didn't produce a hit but he made Solid contact and that's all you're looking to do anytime you're at the plate on the ground the first the flip to the pitcher covering already two gone here in the home four this is Corbin Carol in there for a strike at the bottom of the Zone he swings and hits a Fly ball center field makes the play and it's out number three and welcome back to the ballark top five John Shamy with Chris Singleton and leading it off Alec B out to short sends it across the first one away here in the fifth Bryson stop stands in for the Phillies next offering misses now two balls in a strike B is empty one away and we're at the top of the fif wouldn't chase that time he hasn't fall behind in the count like this all day he's in danger of walking his first batter right here [Applause] payoff pitch and that's ball trying to work his way back the count right there but so much for that pretty good pitch but just doesn't get the call on First with one gone Whit marfield getting ready to hit Gall checks on the runner easily B run with a oneway lead right there all he's trying to do is get a look at the pitch move had no intent of stealing on that pitch roll to short possible two ball off balance Fe there's one not in time at first it's a fielder's choice and now Edo Sosa G checks the runner marfield Dives back marfield off of first with two away and that one is lifted in the air Carol makes the catch and that'll do it back here at Chas field here's lordis gel J drive that's a b hit just kind of SLI that one into Center hitting is really easy for some guys one thing that I can see already his stays in the Zone on for an extended period of time and guys like that they have a high contact rate and they have more barrels because of that to Second there's one and they get him easily at first it's a double play next up for the Diamond Backs Christian Walker next offering is down low the Phillies leading by a run last half of inning number five swings and misses at the pitch off the plate there's that one a deep left field and foret it good get pitch early he saw exactly where that was going to be the challenge not get over anxious out of your swing he stayed on it and got all of it swing and a miss struck him out one scores in the inning coming on this solo home run all set for the top of the six and digging in for Philadelphia JT real mut that one fouled off out to short Pomo on to first and that's one out as they get the lead off hitter in the six the first number three Harper here's Bryce Harper next pitch is outside definitely a frustrating day for the offense but when they look at it this guy had his best Stu pain that one hammered center field and in one hops the wall round second Tak it for third the relay throw save and the goahead runs it third well that was one of those high percentage Advantage counts where batting averages are just so much higher just a cookie down the middle I mean those are the ones you dream about on in the cage you're just you in the ball game right down the middle not a whole lot of velocity right on top of it a chance now to take the lead and at this point in the game that could be a deciding Run next to hit Kyle schwarber and a count one and two look like you got a little excited on that fast got to think yourself want to stay up the middle that way if you're a little bit early hit it out of the ballark you're a little late opposite field not just miss movement in the bullpen Ryan Thompson up and throwing for manager toy l the Lefty warming up as well Philly fans want a strike out swing and a miss struck him out huge strike out there certainly a strikeout situation right the at the pretty big two out at coming up now hard hit but right at him in left one hit in the inning a triple but they leave him back here in the desert ready to go for the last half of the inning now the Dbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno and a strike in there up the middle Soo tosses to first lead off man retired in the six Jordan Lawler stands in now for the Diamondbacks ripped on a line March makes the grab on the run so back to the top of the Arizona lineup haraldo Pomo stands in now for the Diamondbacks and a foul ball next offering is downstairs good spot there but didn't get the strike at the knees and doesn't seem too convinced by the call out there in the mound as he tries to get a better sense of the ire stri Zone for a hit Joey gets on base and keeps it going 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 jce [Applause] Peterson he goes down looking one left and we're back we go to the top of the seven and now for the Phillies Brandon March and he grounds one to the right side lays out but he can't squeeze it that leaves him without a throw and they catch a break as they get a base runner at first manager new arm out of the bull Brian Thompson strg a b this is opport to get on the right track's given up more than one hit per inning pitch so far this season and here is Alec B swing and a miss and it's one and two your Bas Runner you got to stay dialed in here look for anything in the dirt try your best to get in scoring position the onew oh right to the back [Applause] stop so a wild pitch allows the runner to advance you know sometimes it takes a relever a little time to get comfortable with the out there especially when they come in trying to be nasty with every pitch they throw not exactly what they were looking for when they called him in though we'll see if he can settle down now one away it can be so tough as a h to pull yourself out of an extended slump one that lasts for several games even a week or more no right now he's really in one so I'm sure his mind is all over the place racing having a hard time sleeping trying to figure out what can get him back on track back to feel more comfortable and settled in in the Box bouns it off still one and [Applause] two that ball is foul and the pressure is building [Applause] and that go straight to the back come on Bryson do a job [Music] kidame third can come home all of ways now that's why as aitch you have to ex pitches even when Runners on base [Applause] just missing there Full Count definitely a strike situation right here lots ofs for that goad to score the ball's put in play and a 3-2 got didn't make it easy for him on the mound but they still get the strike out Whit marfield stands in for the Phillies that's outside and that's ball three love how this guy grinds out at bats I mean he's down there at the bottom of the line in the N hole but he's worked himself into a really good hit count try to pick up a two out RBI rander kick Steels so now two on and two outs and now the short stop Edo Sosa the pitch on the ground to short they take the force out they miss a big chance bottom of the seven and now the right fielder Corbin Carroll off the there now two balls and a strike well these Diamond Backs just lacking discipline at the plate in this ball game chasing pitches has been a big part of the story we've seen it quite a bit today it's been tough for him to make contact at times like they're seeing it very well as a group the punch out there one Away Big Time Out leading off the home seven and it's lordis Gorel J liner to Second and picked on the Hop St over to First in time two up two down here's Jack Peterson the one-1 and a foul ball the pitch outside low two and two ripped on the ground to Second three up three down inning over the left hander on now Kyle Nelson heing one hit allowed for in Pitch this season and that's not you want we'll see how he does action in the pen down there sea up and loosening in the pen ground ball Walker takes it himself and that's one away as the lead off man is out in the E and now here is Harper check swing he went too far and it's a strike all tied up and we're in the top of the eight chases in the dirt slider there and he beats him for out number two that's a strike out that slider wasn't even close to the strike zone and he got him the chase that's just a bad right there either he was looking for else and got complely foed or he wasting over res expanded right and didn't have a chance contact pitch the of the really good take espe with two strikes there's the ball outside and that is ball four a great back and and that at play off some really close pitches found a way to theat on his shoulder right there I'll tell you right now I couldn't have done it runner at first with two away Nick castanos at the plate now to the right side third one left for Philadelphia ready for the bottom of the eth and here's the first baseman Christian [Applause] Walker the pitch sharp there that's through for a base H off to a good start with a lead off down now really good swing right there he got a pitch that he knew he could handle allowed himself to stay just a t bit longer and he hit the ball on the screws and another ball he's got a rare set out there the even when he's low ongy his still has to it you just don't see it flatten out just because he's tired he's still delivering good action and now the Lefty and it's filled up this is a really good feeling for a h at this point in the ball game you know that they don't want to you so you're going to get AIT to just better not miss it first and second no outs here's the catcher Gabriel Moreno edge of the zone for a strike and to count one and two well if he's going to do something that one is absolutely beled and it oneops the wall one runs in coming home the relay to the plate safe he beats it it's 31 got to be feeling great about that double big spot and he drives in as that one shot off his Barrel he was thinking extra bases really nice job of get the out [Applause] frory the 2th appear of the that was absolute gas triple digits on the gun it's just a experience as a hitter watching that go by Fly ball down the line and no one can get to it it's a foul B back to the he's got it one gone to the bottom of the good slider inside right there batter fighting to get there just rolled over it got the ground ball back to the Top Line next hit for aroo that one triple digits swings and misses struck him out typically that high fast if it's close to the top of the stri can get it but that will just that little jump at the end it in for the third out but they'll pick up a couple runs here both coming on this two-run double last chance coming up for the Phillies all set to start the ninth in this one here's the center fielder Brandon Marsh misses two balls in a strike late that time it's strike two might be time to choke up a little bit get that down early maybe even just spread out he's really late right now on the ground out to and they get the lead off man in the N good Sinker low in the zone right there and exactly what he was looking for ball on the ground nice ground out he's two outs away now the third basem Alec bone Bas is empty one away here at the top of the N late with the swing there on it misses that's the strike and they're down to their last out that's that CLP out slider below the zone right there just nasty looks like a fast high that you got to protect the zone and then it's just that late break that fools you and kind of makes you look [Applause] silly the Phils down to their final strike [Applause] two downman and another [Applause] ball foul ball another two two upcoming two outs still two and two after the foul [Applause] ball that one ripped right center field get up Bryson St we ain't done yet Rel not in time he's safe that's tremendous fight from him and The Dugout fired up down there down to the last strike and he comes up with a hit to keep the game alive it ain't over yet
