 Afternoon baseball here on the show ought to be a good one here between the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees. It's baseball on the show and it's coming up next. Eric Cole the California born right-hander is on the mound. Dan any thoughts. Hey Matty if you were getting a chance to watch a guy that's been struggling a little bit lately and his last three starts he has a whip of over 1.40 so he's going to have to cut that down. Limit the amount of base runners. Limit the amount of walks if he wants to have some success in this one here today. Stepping up to the playing D Gordon and we are ready for some daytime baseball. Gordon. First pitch coming here it is. Well behind that fastball it's a swinging strike. Well this Yankee ball club entering play this afternoon here. They've been hot of late winners in four straight. Yeah Matty this team is playing well right now and they got their ace on the mound. This guy has unbelievable stuff. And I can't underestimate the fact that this is a day game. We are creatures of habit. Guys are used to playing seven o'clock games at night and rolling out of bed around 12 1 o'clock and heading to the yard. Instead they're going to get stuff thrown down their throat right at that time. I hope these guys got out of bed and got a few cups of coffee. Shooting for that low inside corner but he missed with it one and two. Still a ball and two strikes. Can't complain a bit about the weather here. Seventy five degrees our temperature at first pitch to two balls and two strikes now. This is a fun guy to watch when he's up there really battles doesn't take any pitches all these a grinder always seems to make it difficult on the opposing pitcher. And a fastball has swung on and missed and there is your first out of the contest. Boy that's the best pitch in baseball right there with two strikes that elevated fastball. Every hitter thinks that they can do something with that but most of the time you get the result that you saw right there a big swing and a miss and another strikeout. Malik Smith the next to hit as he takes a cold strike on the black its own one his career line against Garrett Cole. He's really struggled over 10 and he falls behind 0 and 2 nothing in two count and the pitch on a swing and he popped him up off to the left in foul territory and Doohar is over and he tucks it away for the second out the right fielder mid Hanager. So bases are empty here with two gone and up next the corner outfielder Mitch Hanager infield in the over shift here now the pitch let's get it going boys somebody's loose hit 98 with ease in the first inning bases are empty here with two men out hung the slider there but laid off for ball one Dan set up behind the plate as Joe McDonald as you see the rest of our umpiring crew in this one. Hey Joe McDonald he's a tough guy to figure out sometimes D roll one inning he'll be given that inside corner the next inning he doesn't give much of that inside corner. His zone fluctuates a lot. You know Dan you can see some definite confusion on the face of some hitters today questioning in the strike zone one pitch is a strike on the outer hand as this is strike three and that will retire the side. Mariners are down in order and now the bombers will get their shot. No score. You say Kikuchi is ready to go as he'll be on the mound for the Mariners. What's your take on him Dan. Hey it's hard to have all four of your pitches on but I think if this guy can have two or three of this four pitches and have command of him he's going to have a really good game. Now to the plate. D.J. LeMay here. Take a look at the splits between April and May. D.J. Love Bayview. Ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch and it's the outside corner at strike one fellas the Mariners entering play here this afternoon. They suffered a bit of a setback last time out but not to worry there's still six and two over their previous eight ball games. Yeah Maddie they lost their last game. It was only by one run. They should be able those are the tough ones but they should be able to put this one behind them. Grounded down the third baseline high in the air down the right field line and foul one and two to D.J. LeMay here. Hey textbook waste pitch right there. Does he go elevated fastball again or something slow below the zone. The one to. Swung on and lifted in the air to left there. Long run for the center fielder but he won't have a play. This is down and into the gap and the Yankees are in business here. It's a lead off double. He just tattoos this ball right here. I think a fastball. Yeah. No way. Drives into deep left center field gap and that was a nice job to get the barrel around in time to score that baby up. Here's Miguel and a hard now. So weighed out a breaking pitch here that finds the zone for strike one. The numbers coming in. He's at two fifty five five homers and twenty two RBI's nothing in one count. Here it comes. LeMay here stands at second with no outs right down Main Street caught him looking just flat out frozen there. Nothing too deceptive about that foreseeing fastball. So I think he wasn't expecting it at all. Here's big Aaron judge. He'll take a look at ball one and you see the numbers there. He's been very dangerous at the plate to say the least. And this is hit hard to the right side foul one one home. Grounder down the line at third but this will get foul. It's a ballman two strikes the one two misses for the second ball. Now the two two is looked at and the count moves full. You would think in this situation maybe with a base open he just pitch around them and put them on first but not with the guy in the on deck circle. He's going to attack this hitter fly ball out toward left center field long run for the center fielder. He's got it. A nice play there two away batting for the left fielder John Carlaw and digging into the batter's box next will be John Carlaw Stanton a couple of hits for him in four trips to the plate last night. First pitch of the at bat on its way breaking ball that time that misses out of his own. This is foul right side runner in scoring position at second with two down eyes he lays off and the count moves to two and one now on the Yankee left fielder fouls this one off off the outside that time as the breaking ball can't catch the zone if you're at the plate right now you have to realize who's on deck. I guarantee you something's over the heart of the plate. You have to be aggressive in the zone right here. Curveball locks him up strike three and that's the third out one left for the Yankees and this is still a nothing nothing ball game. Dan Vogelbach is next. He's looking to get things going at the plate. It has not been going his way of late. Here comes the first pitch count one and no and he jumps at a change up a swing and a miss. Everything this guy throws is hard. That change if he throws is in the high eighties to go along with that good heater into the corner and slicing foul and they really bunch him up on that one as he swings and misses for the first down. He's just got great strikeout stuff in his last start he racked up double digit case and it looks like he could finish up in that range again here. He's really an exciting picture to watch when he's sending guys packing like this. Here's cargo Carlos Gonzalez as he would look at a first pitch fastball for ball one. He'll enter play at 3 13 still without a home run 18 driven in to an O count to the Mariners left fielder. You want to talk about being in a zone. This guy's been raking lately and it all starts with his pitch selection. Two great takes and he's almost daring to pitch or just go ahead and challenge him fouled off. No score here as we play any number two and it's two balls and two strikes now. You know from an offensive standpoint they already knew they had their work cut out for him against a great pitcher but if he's going to locate like that this is going to be a tough day. Popped him up and he'll put this one away in foul territory for the second out. Here's the third baseman now Kyle Seeger hitting a little over 250 coming into action in this one. The pitch fastball taken but that gets the zone for a strike. You rarely see a pitcher of this quality throw one right down the middle and man as a hitter probably a good chance you're not going to see that pitch again. Here it comes and that misses downstairs for a ball one. Hit to first and board will take this one over to the bag and that ends the inning. One two three go the Mariners will go to the bottom of the second. No score and that'll bring up Gleber Torres as they'll have five six and seven here to start the whole half of the second labor. He's ready. Here's the first offering Torres tends to exploit left handed pitching many hitters are better against opposite handed arms of course but he's considered one of the best hitters in baseball and these types of match ups hard liner but picked up on a hop and that's out number one that So one away here with the base is empty and that'll bring up Gary Sanchez. Now here's the pitch in tight here with the first pitch fastball that's one and oh and the pitch bottom of the second here with no score and it's fouled away. And that's out number one so one away here with the bases empty and that'll bring up Gary Sanchez. Now here's the pitch in tight here with the first pitch fouled away. Yeah you could tell he was ready for another fastball but the pitcher went to breaking ball and the hitter just fouls that one off the one to this is on the ground over to first he's got it on the first and there were two down batting seven the designated hitter number twenty nine. Striding in Geo or Shella it's got that average up near the three forty mark to start play so he's liable to have an advantage on this one as well first pitch of the at bat to first rain in and he'll step on the bag himself and the inning is over one two three go the bombers will move to the third with no score. Welcome back to the Bronx where these fans have witnessed a lot of good pitching from their Yankees this season coming into the day they ranked first in the league in both ERA and strikeouts a combination that has opposing lineup searching for answers. One member of the staff told me it's a special group of guys I've never been on a pitching staff that's so dominant top to bottom and I've been on some pretty good ones. Now one of the hitters on the team told me I'm relieved I get to stand behind them and play defense instead of staring them down the box. That can't be fun. Back to you. All right. Thank you. Now here's the pitch and he'll start the end of the pitch that misses off the plate. It's ball one and he looks at the ball in there one and one just behind the fastball there two strikes now through that fastball right by him. He had no chance to get the barrel of that one. Swung on and miss really fooled him that time for the first out. Not a lot of guys throw that knuckle curve but some guys have a lot of success with it some say it has more bite than the traditional curveball but I think it's more of a field thing. It just works for certain pitchers and it worked right there. That'll bring in Tom Murphy as the change up to him drops in there for the first strike bases are empty one man lays off the slider and it's one and one going to need to make a little bit of an adjustment with a slider release and at least attempt to hit her that it's going to be a strike a ball and two strikes to the Mariners catcher. Well located fastball right there. If he can continue to do that he'll pitch deep into this one. The one two third inning no score to this point full count now three and two JP Crawford is on deck they off pitch home hit back up the middle. LeMay Hughes got it and there are two away now batting done the shortstop JP Crawford so bases are empty here with two gone and that brings up the shortstop JP Crawford. Here's the first pitch to him knuckle curve breaks outside for ball one two out nobody on a ball and a strike and that one got a piece of them and I'm sure that one stings a little bit. The best revenge he can get for his now is to find a way to come around to score. We'll see if his guys can move him around the bases back to the top of the order now and up next the speedy D Gordon he set and the pitch a runner on first with two away runs outside so it goes to two and now you can see this guy's more focused at the plate right now in that first day be he went down on strikes now the two own. This is on the ground over to first and he'll step on the bag himself and the inning is over so they pick up no runs on no hits no errors and one man left on. We'll head now to the home half of ending number three and we are tied nothing nothing plate Luke Voight and you can see his home road splits there has not fared very well in front of the home crowd oddly enough. Here's the pitch high fly ball out to straight away center center fielder on the run he gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning batting not so with one away time for a check of the standings in the American League West as you find where the Mariners find themselves entering play today next for New York. Mike Tuckman and he'll be looking to change his fortunes in this one he's seen his numbers take a bit of a dive in recent action and he did deliver. Here's the first pitch right back at him and off his glove thankfully he's able to recover and he gets the second out at first and with that play over now time to check and see if our man is all right. You can really see him favoring that leg and that is his plant leg which is always a concern but from the way he's acting out there I think it looks like he's going to be OK to try and continue. Here's the second baseman D.J. LeMayhew it was a double for him in his first turn at the plate and that's been their only hit so far in this one they've been dealing with some really great pitching in this game and a fastball misses here to start the at bat it's one and all just a bit high with the fastball but didn't get the call. He always a good idea to take a couple of pitches when you're facing a young arm like this one and now he's put himself in a real good hitters count bottom of ending number three nothing nothing our score outside three and oh no so that's two pitches in a row above the belt as a hitter that's what you're looking for especially when it's a day game and the ball is carry that just wasn't a good enough pitch to hit from the wind up the three oh pitch lying down the left field line but this is going to get foul bases are empty here with two men out and this is down at the knees but called a strike. Wow it's three and two now probably better that he let that pitch go anyway after seeing a lively fastball on the pitch before it's pretty hard to sit back enough on a well thrown change up hit the other way out toward right field waiting on it is Henniger and that retires the side so the Yanks go one two three will head to the fourth still scoreless stepping into the box Malik Smith as we begin the top of the fourth this game is rolling right along as Malik into the middle innings with no score you'd think by now one of these two teams would be able to get some base runners on to get him in but that hasn't been the case fouled away and here's a fastball on 0 2 but it misses one and two now well if you love pitching and defense this has been a game for you are you happy with that Dan oh you have to love you know Matt we have so many of these games that are 12 to 10 and 9 to 8 it's nice to see a low scoring pitchers do it for once the count now at two and two swing and a miss as he ran the fastball right by him for the first time opportunity now to take a look at some of the future players in the Yankee organization as our road to the show report spotlights a couple of guys that have been playing well in recent action stepping in now is Mitch Henniger and she'll take a look at a slider here that misses for ball one looking to put the ball in play here he went down on strikes in his first at bat in tight awfully tight 2 and 0 now pretty easy takes to start out this at bad none of those pitches were even close to the strike zone good fastball as he gets the swing and a miss to one home and now a slider in there for a called third strike and there are two gone now no better way to minimize the potential damage a clean up can do than to strike out both guys in front of me always a confidence boost when you can sit down the guys at the top of the lineup at the plate now Daniel Vogelback as with two away he'll swing and miss at the first pitch its own one this guy is still looking at a zero in the hit column he pulls this one into right it's down for extra bases and the Mariners had their first hit of the game he'll get it into second and he is safe at second base as he legs out a double the bat that was a great job of driving that ball extending his arms very well was able to get it over the right fielder's head one hopping it off the wall for an easy double that's one of those solid hits that you don't even feel coming off the bat Carlos Gonzalez and there's a swing and a miss at an off speed pitch to start him out nothing in one just one hit a piece for both of these clubs now a 58 foot curveball that misses for a ball Gonzalez commonly known as cargo this is the final year of his current deal so he'll be a free agent at season's end you know Maddie I know he's in the final year of his contract but he's playing to expectations to be honest with you I know he well the plays been made and that retires the side danger reverted following the two out double more of the show Saturday baseball after this half of the inning and that Miguel and do hard over one after he took a look at strike three in his first hard yeah in today's game certainly don't get completely reprimanded for too many strikeouts but no one likes to go down looking expect him to be a little bit more aggressive at the dish this AB slap hard the opposite way Hennigar is there one away jumped all over that first off hit and that'll bring up Aaron judge first offering on its way and here's a fastball called for strike one I know it's cliche and it's tired at times but a well located fastball down at the knees is still the best pitch in the game the wind up and the 0 1 and here's a curve ball in the dirt that time for a ball one and one inside and one and one and one and here's the pitch and here's a ball in the air now carrying a bit out toward right center Hennigar is over to his right as he puts this one away to down now batter no left fielder John Carlos coming to the plate now John Carlos Stanton first pitch on its way and he fouls this one off and a pitch in the dirt as he lays off it's one and one inside and low two and one now it's one and one well struck but foul over by the coaching box will somebody sitting off speed right here only way he was laid on that heater as he was expecting another change up and he comes back with a fastball strike three called and the inning is over one two three go the bombers through four still tied nothing nothing welcome back Heidi Watney standing by as we get set for the top of the fifth thanks Matt I talked with coach manager Scott service during the break about his team's offensive performance so far and one thing he mentioned to me was the lack of discipline he's seeing out of their at bats right now he said they've been chasing at pitches out of the zone all game which obviously doesn't usually lead to good results until they start being more selective with their swings he said they will continue to struggle okay thank you Heidi all set for the start of the inning next for Seattle L Seeger he's over one after grounding out of the zone only trip to the plate so far field shifted well to the right here's the first pitch back up the middle and a base hit so the leadoff man is on to begin the inning we take a look at the numbers up to this point you see he's only given up to hit so far today so he's been hitting his spots all game long remains to be seen if he can keep that shot out intact going forward but I'm not betting against him into the box now as he'll go after the first pitch and bounce it into foul territory Thompson Williams stands in at an even six feet throws left handed swings the bat the same way he was a fifth round pick back in the 2016 first year player draft this middle round selection is still developing but he's doing it at the big league level and he has a lot of time to get his tool set iron down a fastball swung on and missed and for the second time today he's gone on two strikes got him with a good high fastball there Danny we see a lot of that pitch and strikeout situations these days what makes it so effective I think Matt would makes it such a tough pitch as you're changing I levels that fastball up looks so enticing to hit that you think you see that ball as a hitter you think it can drive it but it's really hard to get on top of that good high hard fastball Tom Murphy is in with one away now as he swings and misses here at strike one one strike now from Cole and he's really getting the better of him now at strike two he struck him out and that's eight strikeouts thus far that's back to back strikeouts now as they've been unable to advance that lead off single in the scoring position he had clearly no problems working out of the stretch right now Matt he's taking control this inning after giving up that hit now we'll see if he can finish it off strong as well that'll bring in JP Crawford as the first pitch misses to him it's ball one the average sits at two ninety four four home runs and a dozen RBI's has a look now the pitch no runs two hits and no errors in the game for the Mariners to this point gets the call on a change up there two and one gutsy pitch right there to change up for a strike good call by the catcher great execution by the pitcher two balls and a strike here it is he and two now good spot for an RBI put the ball in play with the runner in motion he could score all the way from first fouled off seventh pitch of the at bat coming up got himself another one as he picks up strikeout number nine here in the side is retired Mariners leave one halfway home still no score welcome back for the bottom of the fifth here's Heidi Watney thanks Matt I talked with the Yankees manager Aaron Boone during the break about the team's offensive performance so far and he told me overall he's not happy with the at bats they're putting together they've only managed one base runner in this game so it's easy to see why he said they haven't shown much fight today he's hoping to see someone step up and find a way to get something going though this game isn't out of hand so it remains to be seen if they can snap out of this funk and climb back into this one thank you Heidi for the Yankees stepping in the twist he's all for one this far outfield shaded a bit to left center the first pitch sends that one out of play for strike one you're lucky if you get one pitch a night right down the middle cannot be laid on that fastball a little quick on that swing and he finds himself behind 0 and 2 Yankee shortstop behind in the count 1 and 2 misses ball to started to go did he hold up in time yes says the first base umpire it's ball three now here's the 3 2 swing in the midst and he'll start the fifth the same way he ended the fourth with a punch out one away that swing tells me he was really trying to get a pitch out front and ripped it down the line but that wasn't a great pitch to do it on it's really not the best to strike approach either at the plate Gary Sanchez as the first pitchers have been high it's ball one he's all for one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far the 1 0 swing and a shot hit down the corner it's a solo shot here for Gary Sanchez number 14 on the season as the Yankees will grab a 1 to nothing lead no surprise with that swing of the bat this guy is simply one of the best in the game right now there's not too many guys that take a beautiful hack like that in the lead number one and bring in Giovanni Urschella he swings and hits it foul off to the right and out of play find up here comes the 0 and 1 fastball called for strike 2 ball and two strikes now it's a great take right there great pitch recognition to let that one go opposite handed that's coming across the plate you might think you got a shot to stay inside that one both teams with just two hits a piece thus far to two balls and two strikes now he went with the off speed there once he got the 0 and 2 but now that they both missed I think we'll see more of a challenge pitch here you don't have to give in but you can't be too cute either takes this the other way to right that gets down and he's got himself a base hit man I thought this at bat was over down 0 2 he's able to work himself back into a hitters count 2 2 he's able to find a knock out there you know look boy this he'll take a look at the pitch too low it's ball one one in one out and one on here in the inning that evens it up one and one fastball called strike one and two swing and a miss on the straight change up and there are two gone boy there's the perfect pitch right there the straight change of he hadn't used it yet now that what does he do he uses it much pulls the string and gets the big strikeout to the plate now Mike Tuckman as he'll try to hold back on the swing but he went around for the first strike 0 for one for him here in this one he went to nothing in one pitch one in one two and one sometimes it can be difficult for a pitcher not known to be a big stick in the lineup sometime the toughest thing is to be aggressive and throw strikes now the two one popped up Vogel back shading to his right and that retires the side the sights and sounds of a day at the ballpark oh my goodness more from the show Saturday baseball following this message and a word from our local stations and here's the speedster D Gordon he'll start things out in the sixth or a lineup that really hasn't found its groove in this one Gordon yeah only two hits so far met and not very many hard hit balls either we'll see if they could start making some adjustments third baseman in tight protecting the Bunt the first pitch and the third baseman will have a look at it but this is back into the seats popped him up sent chance over to his left looks it into his glove and there's one gone now the shutout still intact here in the sixth as we check out the league leader board for team ERA and you can see that this staff currently leads the AL in that category digging enough for the Mariners Malik Smith he went down on strikes last time up yeah and kind of shocked he got blown away with a fast ball you could tell he was late on that one and we'll see if he tries to cheat to something this a big and here's a slider that's nowhere close and it's one and oh pops this one up he's out for it but he can't pull it in for this guy's been swinging a hot stick lately and there's just another example and even when he doesn't hit one on the barrel he still manages another base hit yeah don't overthink it when you're flowing like he is right now he's hot as a pistol everything's falling the next event which is a cold strike the throw way late and he's in there easily at second pick off move to second run in the back safely one strike now from Cole heading out towards shallow right judges under it to God and no tag at second he'll head back there with two away now now that the first base Daniel Vogel back so stepping in Daniel Vogel back as he'll look to bring home that time run from second with the base hit into the outfield trying to hold the lead here's the delivery throwback this second and the runner back safely one and one here it is one one pitch and a nice call for the change it's one and two both clubs with three hits in the ballgame just inside not by much it's two and two had to sit back on the change up and he did a good job to get the bat on that one right him out ten now in the ballgame and the ending is over one left for Seattle they trail this one one to nothing and that sends DJ LaMahue into the box he doubled earlier in the game one for two to this point DJ love they here's the first pitch to him line drive to left base hit so he goes after the first pitch he sees and he's on to open up the inning OK so far it's been easy pickings for this pitcher he's got this lineup unscathed right there leadoff single blue hard part of the game let's see if he makes an adjustment before they did at the plate now Miguel Anduhan as he lays off a fastball too low for ball one not close it's two and all now this is the kind of count this guy feeds on at the plate you can bet he's here to hit the fastball right here and wow that looked to be well inside but it's a called strike two and one now and that's into the corner of foul ball and right now the two two got a time to fool around right now on a three to counter the middle part of the order coming up expected good pitch to swing it one run four hits and no errors for the Yankees so far and that misses for ball four and it's first and second now with nobody out always tough to issue a free pass but especially trouble some number like single right before that this start right we'll see if he can figure out a way to wiggle out of this ready once again Aaron judge it was a flyout for him in his last trip almost Maddie almost went deep his last day be certainly just missed it with this guy's big power he's feeling pretty good at the dish look for him to try and get on something and drive it out of the yard this a big well the Yankees have been searching for that big hit pretty much all game it remains to see if they can get it but now it sure would be a good time look out to an own now got to find a way to execute either a good fastball down the way or flip something off speed for a strike you cannot miss over the harder plate in these situations the hitter is on high alert in there two and one that is a pro pitch right there to a curveball for a strike you make those kind of pitches you'll be around for a long time I fly a ball after straight away center Thompson Williams is there and he has it for the first time putting runners at the corners now with one away a good read there at second base to know what to make it the third on the file now he's only 90 feet away with one out ready for another shot now Giancarlo Stanton he was sent packing on strikes in his last trip yeah Matty and hopefully he got it out of his system especially now he's got a bear down he gets to two strikes in this spot has to put the ball in play reach to his backhand side at second with this finds a way by and that will score the run from third as they go up two to nothing now and he's safe now that yeah he's got to feel pretty good about that only did he have a great A B first pitch hacking but he smoked that ball to mix in a ribby knock what he did he must have had a pretty good planned attack walking into that batter's box and he had an idea of the pitch that he was going to get and boy he sir turned it loose and buggy whip that one here comes the Seattle skipper on his way to the mound and we're going to have a pitching change is that's going to be all for his starter this afternoon so he'll depart after five and a third innings of work and with no shot to win the decision Tina Williams enters the ball game to replace the starter and some may feel he was pulled a bit prematurely yeah and I'm sure the lefty wants to stay out there too but this is one of those situations where the manager felt it was time to start playing the match up game with the right handed batter up next they're hoping this right handed pitcher gives them a better chance to get it out into the box Torres as the first pitch to him runs a bit inside for Bowl one 0 for two for him to this point ready with the 1 0 and he won't bite at that one either it's 2 and 0 a time to start making some quality pitches he finds himself in a tough spot behind an account with guys on base runners you're at the corners with one man out and here's a slider for a called strike I'm shot to third base now batting the catcher Gary Sanchez Gary Sanchez will stand in yet again as we flash you back to the middle enemies this was a turning point here a solo homerun that was really one of the key at bats of the ballgame to this point to the first pitch to him and they lay off fastball here in a good spot but ruled the ball one and all from the belt kicks and deals fastball well outside couple of righties start to loosen now in the bullpen runners at the corners two men out three and oh now good comeback there it's three and one three and one with two one and this is where you got to be geared up for something to drive I don't think you can just groove in one right here you still have to try to make a competitive pitch and it's up to a three to full count now three to two out runner on first lots of possible outcomes on this pitch grounded weekly toward third he's right there oh the throw pulls the first baseman off the bag and he'll reach it first now about it and as a former pitcher I can tell you nothing is more painful than having to get extra outs in an inning that should have been out number three there instead he has to refocus and get back to work so digging in now Gio or Shella he singled his last time up yeah and they take another single right here that third base coaches die in a wave his arms I wouldn't be surprised if anything hit hard through the infield he's going to wave him Thompson Williams is going to have room out there as he puts this away to retire the side fair to say oh my goodness these folks are not headed for a career on Broadway on to the back third here this afternoon and we've got it for you on the show ready now Carlos Gonzalez he'll lead things off against Garrett Cole starting to run out of time they haven't been able to score any runs as we're moving laid into this one a perfect time for this leadoff guy to try to get on base and ignite a rally no balls in one strike into the wind up here comes the oh and one lofted in the air out toward right center Tuckman is to his left as he puts it away in the alley for the first out of the inning now that is the third base Kyle Seager coming to the plate now Kyle Seager one for two in the ballgame thus far ready to deliver here's the first pitch snatched out of midair at first base for outnumber two the batter the center fielder Dom Thompson Williams in now Dom Thompson Williams he's hit listen is to add bats so far first pitch of the at bat on its way double barreled action in the Yankee bullpen now a lefty and a right hander start to get loose the wind up and the 1 0 pitch that one's a called strike back even at one and he'll come back with one in the dirt as the count moves to two and one now a couple of strikeouts early in the game but he's done a much better job than this at bat trying to get ahead and put himself in a good hitters count lying down the left field line but this is foul near the seats at another strikeout here his eleventh of the ballgame and this one ends the inning Mariners are down in order a trail in this one three nothing half of the seventh here stepping into the box or the Yankee point he struck out swinging in his last trip to the plate yeah but it was a good change up Maddy good arm action on that pitch look for him to try and stay back a little bit more let the ball get a little deeper don't be shocked if this pitcher tries to rush a heater right here they'll try and entice him with a high fastball but he wouldn't commit it's ball one that was attempting pitch to swing at right there a big power guy like this really wants something that he can elevate and drive out of the ballpark taken but called a strike I'll try to hold back the swing but it'll do so unsuccessfully as that's ruled a strike and then when misses badly it's ball to fastball swung on and missed for the first out talk about blown it by a guy geez I mean that fastball was way behind now bad when the swing came through the zone I have to think he was looking for something off speed and he just couldn't pull the trigger on that fastball standing in now Mike Tuckman as the first pitch to him is in there for a called strike one 0 for two from him so far in this one into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 1 and 2 1 and 2 pulled toward right center field long run for the center fielder he takes the turn and heads for second and that will hop over the wall now as you'll be awarded second base here it's a second rule double DJ Rob Mayhew so now to the plate DJ LeMayhew as he swings and misses it a first pitch fastball 0 and 1 so far 2 for three in this one this is lying to left he leaps but he can't get it it's down for extra bases Tuckman rounds the corner and is headed home and this throw gets away from him and he is in the score from second as the throwing mistake defensively came back to factor into that one yeah when it left the bat I thought the outfielder had a bead on it gave it a heck of an effort going high for it but he just can't bring it down the run came across the score and he's safely at second hoping his teammates can return the favor at the plate Miguel Andujar is to take a look at a slider here that finds the zone for strike one no hits to this point in front of the change up and he can't keep it fair two strikes on him now runner at second here with one man out pitch taken several inches below the zone in fact popped him up and there's the second out as he squeezes it in the coaches box the right fielder number ninety down Aaron into the box now Aaron judge runner in scoring position with two gone here's the first pitch to him there's the fastball that gets the lower part of the zone called for a strike here's a late swing and a missed strike to gotta believe you're gonna get some tough pitches in this count with the base open at first this is where you have to regroup and find a way to get a good pitch to drive in that run two out here in a runner at second and a slider swung on and missed and the side is retired Yankee strike for a run on the RBI double were through seven this afternoon it's now a four nothing New York lead Striding into the box Tom Murphy he looked at bounce back after striking out his last time up and he didn't put up much of a fight either Maddie gotta find a way can't go down three pitches I don't care if you're staring at him or swinging and you have to find a way to make this picture work a little bit harder on to the eighth here is a slider is taken to begin the at bat it's ball one and wow a very high strike but a strike nonetheless and it's one and one some action out in the bullpen couple of right handers starting to loosen up now the one and one pitch swing and missed there two and two I mean this offense is struggled because they haven't been able to make the adjustment he stayed staunch on the outer half and these guys have not worked the ball the other way three and two now payoff pitch home is taken high but for a called strike three I think we're starting to see the frustration mound from this offense it's been a pretty dominant performance on the mound but these hitters have had no answer for anything he's throwing up there that will wear on you if it lasts throughout most of the game like it has here to the plate now JP Crawford as he'll take a look at a strike on the outside corner it's 0 and 1 he was sat down on strikes in his last at bat that misses wide one ball and one strike that's lifted the other way out to left Stanton has a read on it and he makes the catch for the second now now batting the second base D Gordon here's D Gordon now fourth trip to the plate now and he's hit list to this point yeah he and his teammates have really been shut down by some very good pitching in this one been fun for a guy like me to watch first pitch of the at bat runs up and gets this one down but this is foul for the first strike the wind up and the 0 1 drops one down here and they'll try to beat it out and they're not going to have a play on him as a catcher just eats it as we take a look at his numbers a couple of things jump out at you and here's the thing from a pitchers perspective you look at this line and you think wow he's been sitting guys down all game long and that's true but on the flip side his pitch count is up there you have to wonder if he might be starting to get a little bit tired in this one yeah and in today's game everyone seems to want to air on the side of caution in terms of pitch counts a ball and no strikes that'll be a souvenir and the count will move to one and one from the stretch and did he go around no he did not ball to and this one's in the dirt no advance here but it's three and one now two out with the man at first now with throw over don't want to forget about looking to fade his first walk here it comes here's the two seen fastball that bears in a bit too tight it's ball for Oh man I think this walk is going to grind in him for a bit he just missed and now the inning continues with the man in scoring position plate Mitch Henniger it was a flyout for him in his last trip he's ready here's the first offering skied into straight away right judges under it it's the catch and that'll retire the side Mariners leave a couple they're down for nothing McGill is on to pitch out of the bullpen in the bottom half of the eighth number sixty one Matt McGill bottom of any number eight set to go now batting John Carlos Stanton he came through with an RBI single in his last at bat John Carlos starts with a fastball too low for ball one two balls and no strikes the count to Stanton well this is spot you'd like to be in two oh good hitter he's going to turn it loose right here now the pitch Taurus is on deck no doubt about this one it's in there three and one that strike on three was important but you don't want to miss over the heart of the plate in this situation I got to believe he's going to be way more aggressive right here in a great location that time on the corner three and two now they off pitch home there's a swing and a high deep drive headed for the right field corner but it bends just foul into the second deck once again a three two hit hit sharply on the ground and Stanton's aboard it's a base hit hey guys this he's not known for being a singles hitter right here but that's his second knock at the game I'm sure he'll take him but the guys on the other side of the scorecard might we really avoided a worse fate into the box now Taurus and he'll probably send it in the air out to center field Thompson Williams will settle under it to make the play for the first out as the runner will have to head back to first now batting catcher Gary digging in now for the Yankees Gary Sanchez he's got a hit in three at bats to this point comes set here's the nothing and nothing pitch a swing and a ground ball to third and now he has some trouble with it in left he'll move up to third now runners at the corners here with one away now that you got the pitch he wanted and he didn't miss it right there hammer job the box Geo or shell up as he'll take a look at ball one he's working on a one for three thus far is laid off for ball two props to the hitter right there for laying off with a guy on third you want to be aggressive but you have to get a pitch you can drive too tight with that one three and oh if he concedes the walk here he's in real trouble of giving up a big inning it's not all that bad yet but dealing with the bases loaded will make it pretty tough to wiggle out of and he'll just make him throw one over here three and one three balls and two strikes to the Yankees D.H. lost him here on three two is that pitch misses its ball for these guys on defense are still within striking distance but after that walk one swing of the bat could really blow this thing wide open into the box look boy and with every base occupied a big hit here could really put this one out of reach first pitch of the at bat on its way so far this season with runners in scoring position point is below the Mendoza line the batting average under 200 unfortunately he beat a first to tell you he's not happy with the batting average on the season but he's found the way to get on base north of 350 work and walks with an unbelievable eye at the dish no contact there and it's one and two the way he's been able to command his fastball those first two pitches don't be shocked if he goes back in there again or goes up under his chin or nasty slider down in a way he has opened up his full arsenal too much bite on the breaking ball that time as it's well off the outside hey they tried to tie him up on that last pitch so I like that they went away with this one the execution didn't work but I like the idea behind it here now the two two is swung on and missed strike three now batting digging in and looking for more Mike Tuckman he had a two bagger and later scored in his previous plate appearance well he got a good pitch to hit last time up look for it up in the zone and didn't miss it those are the pitches you only get maybe once in a B maybe once again maybe once a week so he certainly capitalized on it last time the 1 0 finds the zone strike one this is lined into left field and he delivers a big base head and they'll add another is this is now a five nothing game boy talking about picking your teammate up after that strike that could be a big big big too hard RBI single baby to come through for your team when you take the donut off your bat right there you're trying to pick up your teammate he had the right game plan didn't come outside it for stayed through the baseball was able to come friend and Brendan answers the call to pitch here in a big spot he inherits a bases loaded jam but needs just one out to get out of it trying to pick things up where we left off DJ LeMayhew he hits here in a spot where he might be able to put this one out of reach yeah Matt down five another run across here could very well put the nail in the coffin mentally they might still feel like they've got a shot if they could get out of this jam though from the stretch here's the pitch and this is on the ground for JP it's short and how about that right out of the bullpen a ground ball on one pitch and the inning is over Yankees forced to settle for one we played eight full it's the Yankees five and the Mariners nothing new winning set to get underway next will be the cleanup hitter Daniel Vogelback Daniel Vogelback here's the first pitch to him loud contact there but it's well foul the wind up and the 01 and this is high of all in a strike one in one man this guy's had their number all game long up down in and out he's pitching very well Vogelback behind the ball in two strikes and some action out in the Yankee bullpen now as a right hander starts to loosen up and he lays off a pitch outside as they draw even at two and two a lot of pitches away here which is pretty much what you're forced to do with lefty batters here at Yankee Stadium it doesn't take much to hook one out of here to right field with that short porch out there here now the two two is swung on and misty got him oh man he's been absolutely getting overmatched the plate the last couple of games that's his fist strike out in this series alone so clearly this pitching staff they figured out how to attack this guy we'll see if he can make any adjustments at the plate now Carlos Gonzalez as the first pitch misses to him it's ball one he could really use a knock here 0 for 3 in the game so far is a sinker in the dirt well he's throwing a lot of pitches in this one but it's not like he's walking a bunch of guys only one free pass to this point but they're still making him work really hard two balls in a strike to Carlos Gonzalez even though we're late into this ball game this guy's deal is still top notch this guy's a horse one out nobody on count even a two and two set to deliver pitch number one twenty this one Saints law and a touch outside it's a full count three and two one of the things you want to do with a starter get that pitch count up here's another productive at bat is this count now gets to three balls and two strikes this is hit the other way out toward left field and that gets down and we'll see if that's extra bases reach second now with one away obviously as a pitcher he wants to finish what he started but when you have that pitch count north of a hundred and fifteen pitches you have to be concerned about his health and the wear and tear in his arm might have to take him out of this one really soon standing in now Kyle Seeger this he'll take a look at a pitch too low it's ball one he's got a hit in three at bats to this point 2 and 0 pretty good pitch right there fastball in off the plate one of the things you want to do as a pitcher try to stand those hitters up swing line drive that's going to be troubled the board is it's now a five one ball game he was on cruise control the entire game but he gets brought back to reality here and RBI double gets them on the board and now that they've broken the dam we'll see if they can generate some more runs going forward the Yankee manager now up out of the dugout on his way to the mound and it appears that we've seen the last here in this one of Garrett Cole so a strong performance here as he worked his way into the ninth but he left the bullpen try and close with the final two outs your answer answers the call from Doug out and she'll try to record the final two outs of this one number sixty one at the plate Dom Thompson Williams as he takes a fastball off the plate for a ball one and all he's hitless in three at bats to this point one out count here it is at the ball you know in this situation you almost have to pitch like there's no one on base that run really doesn't mean anything with the lead they've got the hitter is the guy that can turn this game on its head here comes the two pitch swing and a miss on the heater and it's two and one he knows full well he's sitting on a hat trick right here all he's trying to do is avoid the golden sombrero the two one is fastball that misses down at three one and that one is a cold strike as he's rebounded to run it full now three and two he'll be fine coming out of the bullpen in this one if he can keep the ball around the knees like that one out in a runner on second base swing and a liner but good hands over there at first and that becomes out number two the captain number two Tom Murphy play Tom Murphy and he needs to make something happen they're down to their final out here in the ninth first offering on its way and that misses inside one and oh runner in scoring position at second with two down fastball and that thing got up there at ninety five miles an hour a ball in a strike it's fouled away crowd of over thirty nine thousand on their feet and this should do it brings it in and the Yankees run their winning streak to five in a row now as this ball game is over well just another day at the office for these guys that stretches their winning streak to five and they're playing well in all three phases of the game pitching fielding and hitting who knows how long this will last five to one the final total in today's game New York used a nice fifth inning to take the lead and they gave it back Garrett Cole earns win number seven on the season turning in eight and a third of quality work
