Pittsburgh Pirates Vs. Miami Marlins (09/11/24) Game Highlights | MLB Season 2024

one starts in his career prior to this year with Pittsburgh a win against the Nationals on Thursday night start offensively and we'll take a look at the lineup for the martinin today it's presented to you by ocean Bank Lopez Jak Berger the DH bride Sanchez and pase in the Middle star sooha and power you uh he's going to get up to about 93 maybe 94 he also stays a curveball he's got a slider and a change up and something else that I looked up on him he has that tells me Paul that he's not going to come inside when guys have not have not hit any May thrown that down the road so a false start to this ball game here but let's take a look at the stat cast 3D powered by Google CL 91 he's got that splitter he throws also that slider those speeds are about the same as well no decision that day gave up a couple of home runs and the first pitch of the afternoon to it was Monday night where middle Innings foued the ball off the T anything else last night although no Xavier Edwards in there today for the Marlins he's been under the weather but started Day game after a night game too yeah it is kind of glad McCutchen's not in there though Waits on an 01 from falure night coordination is on point simply tries to hit the ball up the middle and the other way Lopez has obviously played the bulk of his playing time this year at different spots so NOA may be more suited for second at least for now elevated F different positions just to see how they work and what they're doing Burger's been aggressive uh his he ain't thinking no more he's up there swinging and that's a beautiful thing hopefully trying to break out of whatever maybe power slump he's been in lately that's a especially a guy like me now first inning at all he strikes out the [Applause] side to DC after this one you got that right first pitch swinging kind of fppa the short stop ran Reynolds gets DH Judy today Joey Bart behind the plate can ball for the Marlins today [Music] and Mel Bull pin's in good shape ground ball to the third baseman Norby Scoops it up and one away bmz uh can get this defense to stay busy especially uh in the infield now you got again switch hitter Brian Reynolds from the right o nice pitch one and0 toward the corner and Sanchez not going to get there and it kicks off his glove Reynolds on his way to second base by Reynolds it's a good thing that Sanchez when he got there the ball didn't get past him he got glove on it uh away from him but the way that he knocked it meant that the ball didn't go all the way and a ball outside times in his career that number 25 on the season ball was let go by San Francisco earlier this year and has put together a pretty solid we told you falter on the other side has not hit anybody all season long in over 18 hopefully Bart's all right A lot of times relievers do [Applause] that one ball one strike the bases will be loaded first time that Lopez has been on that side of the bag and there for the Marlin to make another air here in the first frame all right well not going to be two better get one maybe there's a play at third cuz the play was in front of the runner I think what he did here is he played it in the well at least for now that's actually been ruled a single an infield single one ball one strike to O'Neal Cruz who takes the ball outside well fast ball base is loaded 3-1 pitch coming and it's inside run right over the last week or so the Marlins have allowed a lot of first year and three out of four against the phes shown up yet in the big leagues I mean that's how you come back when you're down three and four and five runs early with a riby Mel said before the game today that he wanted to get 85 out of to the fifth but nearing a a 20 long stretch of games for the Marlins have one more home stand with the and then the trip to Minnesota and Toronto Conor Joe take first round pick back in 2014 out of the mhm first University of uh San Diego a little different than San and still looking for that ground ball it still works here and but outside two balls and two strikes in scoring position be a sacrifice fly for Joe scoring Joey Bart from third base and all he tried to do was hit a Fly ball to send field or right field to get the run in if you do any more than that been a couple of runs here you know this is a special outing for Bermudez being from Puerto Rico bark being from Puerto Rico terrific Point Runner goes and a stolen base developing strides and steps and he's got some really good speed and forz is outstanding at throwing guys out for Brian De La Cruz 01 pitch to dlc's ground ball throws a strike and the inning is over Pirates leave two and scor series in uh in 2001 and that was uh certainly a tough time in New York City and around that uh minor distraction if not for 3 hours a day it it help uh bring us together not only from a baseball standpoint but it kind of brought our country want anything to happen like that to make everybody come together but everybody did come together after that day and throughout the week different events around cities as this one is pocking inning one of the most special uh moments of That World Series was when uh President Bush better throw from the mound and you better not bounce it he threw it right down the middle and it was a beautiful thing man I mean Jesus Sanchez Waits on a 1 from falter we tipped and held on to power so we could not talk on our headsets our engineer phone back to him so he can do some play byplay he passed the phone back to this is the World Series dude one of my first internships I I worked for a guy who was a 01 to Christian pche it's a tough pitch to get to this just a regular day game no swing and Miss there and a Fly ball to center field O'Neal Cruz camps underneath that one and it's a one two three in down for falter sure many of you are streaming it from work right now look from our office here at PNC one triolo and ker FFA to follow ball one out by pitch infield single walk sack fly leading to the two well behind and that just makes it a lot easier for the hitters when they're hitting in leverage C balls behind two couple of wins in this series obviously but recently they've won six of nine and they're scor things down Marlins have had some ninth inning rallies fall a bit short chances after pitching the first couple of nights [Applause] here coming up in Jared triolo bats out of the nin spot in the order for Pittsburgh with back injury they say that he may require some surgery in the off hay about as good as they come over at third base triolo though gives this one a ride out toward deep left field and that that one is going to carry out into the second or third row a solo home run for triolo to make it three nothing if you continue the fall behind as Bermudez has today uh that's a 20- count right there so that's a [Applause] really and separated hit it out of here for Homer yeah 88 so a three nothing Pirates lead as that one is in off the plat per game and off to a quick 3 nothing start here today sharp the K they played against him this year and out played them in every facet of the game I mean Brian Reynolds takes the ball outside yeah the kind of a weird this year try to change that in DC starting tomorrow night and re who doubled and scored in the first inning Allstar the Toyota Trend showing Seasons with 50 or more extra base hits Drew McCutchen at the top of that list will hit his 20th home run playing showing the young kids what you need to do at this level to finish the season off B about McCutchen who's not in the lineup today and when he first came to the big leagues eight seasons in a pirates uniform with 20 homers to join Willie starel that one foued back from a veteran player and he provides that Chapman also to the mid-40s in the second inning and so again we weren't sure what it was going to was it going to be an opener right situation where maybe you're hoping to get four or five he now a pitch clock violation there so James Jean what's going on I think he walked to first base I think Reynolds well if that was you know that's interesting because Jazz in milwa everybody's in there and ready to go apparently whatever uh kind of waited the clock had started and then all of a sudden there was four or five seconds left on Fly ball out toward deep left Jus luzardo leino Rod Allen up in the broadcast Booth very happy and honored to be joined by hey yeah I appreciate it it's an honor for me when uh when did you hear about it and what was your reaction obviously this award means a lot to uh to a lot of baseball players around the world not only baseball players but how does it feel to you to be in Pittsburgh and where Roberto played his career and you know meant to be um when when I was told that they were going to announce it on um it was incredible uh Dwayne the the owner of the museum and um I mean has an incred we there uh some incredible stuff a lot of uh incredible pie is uh oh yeah oh yeah I think he'd give a lot of guys a run for their money no he'd make you guys put suits back on Star draws the Walk we're chatting with Jesus Lardo um I I know and I've been to help lead you to this uh Roberto Clemente nomination yeah uh that that camp for me a few years back and uh it's been going really well we love it I know the kids love it when they go and um year hey Zeus I know you don't do this for the recognition your camp and and all the giving you know they kind of just made it a point to always always give back and um we talked about it the other day this is not you're not from let's say Cleveland playing for the drive you to make sure that you're involved yeah I think it drives me a lot and um Community event you're there and that's uh again that go kind of helps to drive you to make sure that you're involved yeah I think it drives here and there talking to a high school team or having a camp for some kids um just being able time we appreciate your hard work and congratulations thank you guys see you on the play but John McMillan takes over out of the Marlins Bullpen and is greeted with a base hit to left field from Nick Gonzalez what just like uh rudez McMillan fell behind Gonzalez and in 60% of the time but to get to that slider you got to throw some first pitch fast balls and two pitches Monday presents our Marlin live pregame show tomorrow and it looks like that might be it for McMillan next pitch [Music] from a hopefully he's okay and it's more precautionary than anything but from a bullpen to begin with but looks like xaven Curry is going to come in out of the bullpen well Curry will get as much time as he needs and we will step aside for the departure of John McMillan will send it your way threw only two pitches and gave George and 20 strike outs he's walked six opponent's hitting two last time out was again against the Philadelphia Phillies that was his four Phillies were just swinging a hot bat yeah the Phillies though were in Toronto before they came to loses he'll get set to face O'Neal Cruz and as we take a look at his extra three three doubles and look at the one there how high did that thing go my goodness at some point in time once he learns how to Back Spin the baseball before being traded to the Pittsburg Pirates in 2017 and you the way that he glided into that catch late in the last night on that still set to do it but he has to get it in his mind that he's not a short stop anymore he did not want to go that just goes to show you how good he is and how high the you threw him one that one rolls foul and Norby gets to it quick before that decided to be interesting re who double scored in the first inning and he wasn't ready for the fast B he still tried to hit it but he was looking for one swing no no he was looking for something else and he still tried to hit the fast B which is the perfect example three balls and two strikes with a runner at first base and nobody out that Runner goes this to be found on that play and Curry ran over there and made a play how about that right away look where Norby's playing Norby had no shot to get there because he was playing at the short stop position the race over to make the play himself Conor Joe now takes a fast ball away yeah you're right one ball one strike here to Joe pop back be at FPL we're working every single day to get you the reliable elect out to right makes the [Music] catch since put on the pirate uniform Lopez to the bag we will head the fourth inning three nothing off walk for Kyle Stowers in the third inning he was erased on a double play so Bailey falter in the first inning struck out for the first five Marlins hitters so they'll look to looks like he's getting ready for he straightens out different and one top fast ball at about 92 but he's thrown quite a few of those today he's got for whatever reason got a little bit of a rally and we came up short on both days but that seemed like I don't know why that is I'm glad we get to say it just about every night Marlin bring the time oh I know going to happen cap plus a seat to watch the Marlins take on sh Otani and the Dodgers get your top of the right field wall Pete Crow Armstrong leapt and grabbed it oh my good I'm not sure if it would have gotten out he's good weide the park home run against the Tom Mar we got to get a life that's what that was you got the Dodgers coming up that's Scout that's for sure that's what I will tell my wife Jake burer with two outs and nobody on takes a erra thus far has been on today and Cruz gets to that one hit it right on the nose on the Millan who faced just one batter in the third inning here in the fourth a foul down the he will mix in a curve also has a change in a splitter that's slider up and out of the zone and well Rod you you almost have to imagine and you if there is a new player to make his Marlin's debut that'll be number 70 again we we don't know yet but Marlins did uh make players and different things like that but uh the future's bright when you look at excitement uh as far as the ball Club is concerned with some of the pieces that he's added he could have got something for no value here buddy he could he would have traded us too for a long time and and so an Outsiders perspective being the point that I'm trying to make here it's one thing uh a agreed with our basically our assessments that the draft before the trade deadline obviously the Marlins were where they were bottom deadline that the Marlins moving up and to really middle of the pack or even top not I mean teams try to rebuild teams have been doing it for the last decade or so or were able to turn the corner and wion a world championship Cubs did it Astros did organization and turning it upside down and that's what Mr Bend did credit to the front office to try to bring in guys that have something to offer guys have had to deal with there's a ground ball off the mound takes a funny hop Lopez steps on the bag and that will do it we'll head to the fifth inning Pirates up but uh 5 and 1 half months later he looks like a much different pitcher he's not allowed a hit the strike zone at about 89 to 91 you don't have to throw 95 to be successful quite a few strikes only 45 pitches right that was erased on a double play he just threw a bride a two- slider by you it's exactly what he tried to three balls one [Music] strike alter in Sanchez Sanchez could probably win a couple of these battles nothing to do with his improved batting um his improved plate appearances against left-handed pix form he's uh obviously at this point got to be able to hit righties and lefties and to see those jumps forward is is huge for a guy that he's got to cut a swing down just a little bit that leg kick he had been not been that foot down and put the ball [Music] [Music] in usually the uh home play onire will call that ball before it get to that bag oh this is the one that Tommy knows that is correct sir bouncing ball play so the second baseman couldn't get there so would not be a 543 double play so uh FFA had to get there to get the out and try to turn the double play ball to Center his first time up Sanchez dancing off of first base but stays but he gets the start against the Lefty there goes Sanchez a swing in a miss a sidearm Sling from Bart that's good jumps and very seldom does he get thrown out I mean he gets a really good jump here and then he slides head head first and slide hard at times I like it when he slides rather see them go feet first if you're out you're just out between your legs so the ball doesn't scoot through take a look here that's Tex look right there so big and his hands are so SL it's a real good look at that slider right there how it looks like a fast ball the hands of the hitter is it a little more cutter that's an algorithm thing nobody's punching up a button I'm just curious if it team is so young they throw lots of breaking pitches even though at second base two outs on the top of the fifth inning big down and he can hit it a long way Mar without a hit through five as we head to the bottom of the fifth inning here at PNC Park Paul srino Rod Allen with you up in the broadcast booth that Xavier has not played and our offense is such more efficient when he's in the lineup and they've got it's it's funny that you bring that up or interesting that you bring that up because as we always talk about and Pa you can't do that but why is is it that when Xavier Edwards is not and when he's on base whoever's batting number two more than likely they're going to get some fast balls and this was Norby and up to three runs and then John McMillan comes in he faces only one batter before he going to have the inherent stress of a bullpen day and now going into put [Music] out we up against DJ hers who has had some good outings against the Marlins this year off the end of the bat ranging is sooha throws off balance yesterday at the short stop position and I didn't get a chance to ask Jody Reid about that particular play but or he didn't think he was going to get that feed from uh the pitcher Pez at Short Stops and OHA at second base making a nice play to keep probably that's what Cruz is going to get a short stop than anything but a line out in a one two three fifth inning so I could shine in the sixth inning of game three hopefully the Marlins breaking ball from biley [Music] falter and should they need him for something he's going to swing at bad pitches he's got really nice plate discipline NOA pops out to shallow right for the first out now a word from FPL I appreciate that at FPL they are always teaching me how power works and how you can save money I can actually have ownership and knowledge over my power bill let's check in with Kelly sacko hey guys well a guy who's really turned it around at the plate in the second half is Nick forz in the first 67 games of the season was hitting just 178 but in his last 28 games hitting 341 and Rod you mentioned it in pregame he made some mechanical adjustments but he told me specifically he likes to look back to game one of the series at Milwaukee got a couple of blue pits and so often people think all right blue pits he got lucky that's what he needs to turn it around Nick said no that's not what he looks at it as he says in those situations he was able to get his body in the right position to keep the ball fair and not pull off of it and Pull It foul well learn more of marlin enrollment.com Familia how about the job that Curry has done he's out there after M left and just eaten's got good and saving that Bullpen you need somebody to do that um on a day where again they had hoped maybe in the 85 pitch range if everything went right for Jonathan Bermudez but he lasted just two innings in his first Big League start 46 pitches before he was out of the game McMillan threw two before the departure due to injury and now three and into the fourth inning here now for [Music] curry he did picks up the strike count a 1 two 3 sixth inning Marlin in search of their first hit has been in control today it's without a hit as we enter the seventh inning inside to Oto [Music] no hitter he not going to give in with a fast [Music] ball three balls no strikes I don't seems like he little 3-1 from falter this is hot three nothing game it's not like it's 15 to nothing here Marlins are a one more base runner away do the exact same thing if he forgets about him he has that kind of speed ball and no strikes just out in front of that strike out a line out today for Jake into center field Cruz coming in and he will close on it and get there me of Devon white Devon white used to Glide in the Outfield like that Devon wasn't as can be a little tricky here but the way that he ran in on that I almost thought that ball was still stri man he can he can cover some ground I told you the only play for the Marlins first hit so Jonah bride breaks up the no hitter throw goes to third cook has a decent arm and the plays right in front of you so you know Griffin Benedict is not which is tough to do he doesn't stop he doesn't hesitate and but just a good [Applause] [Music] throw well the general baseball uation there and a little not even really a blooper but more of a softline drive that got down but a base running Mis Q helps to uh accelerate falter getting through that seventh so the Marlins with six outs to play with trying to make up three it's almost like uh in every game in this three game series the Marlins have made one miscue that's kind of made the game sway in one way or the other it's a couple of airs the first day then another air the second day base running today and we've heard skip talk about it last couple of days just not playing clean baseball and when you're going to play these lower scoring games or tight ball games every 90 ft every Out means so much Bride Racing over and he can't get there on the dive great effort great effort by Jonah you thought maybe after uh the Marlins scored 19 runs on Saturday and Sunday against the Phillies that they would come into Pittsburgh and uh their bats would stay hot as we get one more look at Jonah you saw where he started he was playing off the bag about 15 ft that's why he couldn't get there and make that play a nice Series against the Marlins uh dhing today McCutchen uh he did not start but he got a fast ball and he Juiced it he turned all over I thought Sanchez may have had a chance to run it down and but the ball hit off the warning track and bounced up off the wall and by the time paset picks it up Reynold standing on second jackpot for Bailey falter he has been dealing today for the Pirates their best records against National League opponent since 2012 whatever reason they have the Marlins number 46 and 30 since the beginning of 2012 600 baseball against the fish and as it stands now they uh if the score holds and let's hope it doesn't they are looking at a season series seven game sweep here the Marlins can't put some runs on the board but as has been the case in off a lot the Marlins seem to find a way to at least get the tying run to third or to the plate but they just have to figure out falter just one hit against him today it's PAs to start the inning then Stowers and sooha [Music] ball inside a fly to Center and a strike out for paset today he's done a nice job with that cutter SLS slider it doesn't have much depth to it this will be his 48th game this year solid out of that pen for Derek Shelton with 325 ER saw him on Monday night a scoreless inning with a strike out yeah sometimes that is the case when a guy is out there dealing the way that falter has been dealing it doesn't really matter who you bring in out of the bullpen the offense on the other side they just get a different look at a different picture and all of a sudden sometimes the offense kind of perks up sooha who grounded in with double play in the third inning and popped up in sixth is not in there but it will be Xavier Edwards year long I mean that's how he got that batting average all the way up to about 350 360 when he was rolling for a couple of months but 10 days off and that's enough to uh disrupt your swing for [Music] [Music] sure even though Edwards was under the weather yesterday he was not going to start skip told him the night before that he was going to give him a day off and Xavier had been grinding out there and uh manager knows you when his players need a day off and he felt like he needed to give Xavier a day away from it turned out he had a fever yesterday marins at Bull pin a 208 ER against the Marlins this year this a ground ball of the eighth inning still 3 nothing yes you did no I did not come on you didn't want to mess up them pretty blue ever gets old man just to see the the looks on the faces of the owners just just to celebrate like that is just so special so special well they're parad behind the plate such a small list of teams right like you you look at the Braves titles and the Dodgers have had some dominance and you know the Yankees have gone forever to get there you really do I mean it is such a tough GR grind I mean to get through 162 games the schedule is a grind there a Tapper that's [Applause] [Music] F third Center for pase and that will do it Marin's Trail heading to the night affected across the country as we welcome you back for the top of the ninth inning this will be his 55th game and face aoto until the seventh inning to get their first hit today this one is a fair ball well there have absolutely been some struggles if we've mentioned it once we've said it a thousand times OT Lopez has been swinging a hot bat for the Marlins lately and gets into second base with a leadoff two base hit so now it's burer and he hits it sharply to the shortstop ker FFA who got handcuffed on that one and here we go again the Marlins have the tying run coming up and there's nobody out what's up cheese
