1985 09 15 Blue Jays at Yankees

if time against the Toronto Blue Jays let me ask you this dynamo freaky down there near the dugout can you think of any place to be in the September pennant race with Robert Miller old single a national anthem in Yankee Stadium did you get goosebumps sure do his fans are wild and crazy but boy to be here it is something griffey Henderson and Winfield they can go get the ball folks Pagliarulo Meacham the shortstop Rex hunter Willie Randolph still with a damaged muscle Matty late to best first baseman possibly in the game right here in New York Hernandez on the other end the town a see to cut your ed witson let's go back now to Fergie Albert Ricky Henderson you're quoted as saying that these last two losses by the Yankees are not as big as everybody thinks they are there's still a lot of games left I think yeah we don't want them to game I think it still wouldn't been as cornets a game that we got to play down the road and I think the most important thing is you got to take a game by game and you know if you win them and you win them if you losing you're losing but you got to keep your head up and just go out each and every day and try to win the ballgame so here is that what's it free-agent 1 or 14 games for San Diego great things expect to depend on what a terrible start he had that he's worked the record at 10 and 7 right now and sends it out to the shortstop Bobby Meacham for a faster start he didn't get on the ground he had Pagliarulo charging it third looking for a bunt when the top hand went up but he wanted to slap it by him and he did have too much of a line drive aside from Phil Niekro the 300 game winner and Ron Guidry not another starter or their er a below four on this Yankee staff and the bullpen is tired folks 5 of them in action last night at Guidry not a good night for Guidry managed to win thanks to a bad Blue Jay inning Yankees got six runs and of course you get down to Bob Shirley last night as a starter and ed witson today so the pitching right now in the series simply favors the Blue Jays the 2 wins out of 3 indicate that might well open three straight wins for them and yesterday the Yankees picked up the left-hander with an outstanding curveball Rod scurry out of the Pirates organization we may see him today surprise Billy at the last second changed to a left-hander against his Blue Jays club but he doesn't know that much about security at accept from scouting reports plans to use it and guard me middle relief setup man last night he had to bring Righetti in much too early we thought most people thought Billy defended it he said if I ever do it again other times the same way in this particular instance I agree completely with billing because the starting staff aside from the two we mention equal Deirdre he meet of that game so badly at a common with fishing we get a early now you can criticize Billy for bringing them back in May June July but that big bug then puts that game yesterday Billy finally had to win it he needs this and even more I want he a briquette II and he didn't do it he took him down to Fisher for late innings Hannity yesterday and said John's Newfoundland be Honduras to qualify for the first time World Cup soccer by and congratulate that Canadian team for a magnificent victory little warmer here that a ones in st. John's yesterday 72 Fahrenheit this delightful Sunday afternoon was the last time you saw sac the World Series power league championship cheers of fans getting the ballgame as early as this phony one out finish at every game in this series they are rabid virtually from the opening pitch top play heat sinister way way back dig deep doesn't get it close to an outstanding play by Bobby Meacham and now Moe's being pulled a hamstring and it's when the muscles are tired here in a tough game mosby is still out in right field with a pulled hamstring don't know how the Syrians say he beats it out just outstanding try by meats but mostly they have to leave this game he is hurting with Garcia gone and Upshaw God the Blue Jays do not need this Chevy about 20 minutes before the game started the shaker was with Pat Gillick on the bench and they were talking he was telling Pat then that he has an injured hamstring he said he didn't think it was that serious you serious he was going to play and Pat said well I'm going to try and steal a base he said you better believe it this game is too important to come out of it no matter what happens ok what it may have been stiff and tired but it is now pulled Fergie that's where Willie Randolph he had a hamstring he pulled around whiff came back in too soon and was literally unable to move in the second game of this series replaced by Rex Hudler you have to watch those things fouled out of play by Rask awnings amazing contribution throughout the season but surly against the Yankees for Mullenix who's a third base today a Norwich at second base for the Blue Jays not the ball at Mullen sent over samples head in left field yesterday Billy Martin and Jean Michel who just moved the left fielder in didn't feel he had power out in that area popped up good ball out of play politics with a personal best 51 RBIs he's equal is home Ron I'm with single season at 10:00 already was still three weeks to go all ends three weeks from today at exhibition Stadium in Toronto the Yankees in for the final game of final series Friday Saturday and Sunday Yankees have Detroit to play six games Baltimore six games and then the games you mentioned against the Blue Jays Mosby got a pretty good jump head first sake just be able to do that with a pulled hamstring but can't be all that bad his 34th stolen base he does this on WITSEC not on Hasse in a scene his David Clinton was not noted for having an outstanding throwing arm whitson took him for granted sore muscle never thought there's any way that Lloyd would be able to steal a base the way he lived after he hit that first base bag but he does got a great jump though beats it by a foot or two 34 447 he's parked in scoring position for monix he's got a one-ball two-strike slices liquid off the left side of the cap George Bailey's on Decca correct something I mentioned earlier he did get one hit in this series he's meaningless but it was his last at-bat last night as he stands there on deck waiting to go never Jordan is about of the last 60 at-bats he has struggled since Chicago really living for the ski park almost upon second baseman Hudler has it take much the advance to poet by Mosby with guava he's still hurting he's still grabbing at that right hamstring even though I'd stole that face is something we've got to be careful you get a little pull and the sheathing on that little big tendon that big muscle tears and you're loosened up and you don't know you're hurting it more then it becomes a tear and the next thing you know what could have been a week or two weeks or a few days could end up being a month we're going to be very careful must have this little rash of injuries happen it could happen at a better time because the Jays have two days off is coming with tomorrow Monday and then Thursday after playing two games in Boston so that's a break for me yeah show you how the boss in this ball club operates some of the reports on ed witson pitching for the Yankees today even from the boss's old people were not glowing reports and he knew he needed pitching he went out and spend the money a free agent contract from big bill some people feel he would not got Whitson only because San Diego had taken metals and assets from him for his base hit and stole a base get out of the blue a half of the first inning from New York this is the bats Blue Jays baseball Mattingly is a good hitter you just have to make good pitches and hope the percentages are in your favor he's gonna get his hit the win Phil he's not hitting for his high on average as he has in the past but he has a lot of RBIs and a lot of home runs and he's certainly capable of beating at any time you see Alexander's note they're 13 in the 1 is a Blue Jay dating back to 83 in September he's a good clutch player down the stretch unfortunately his career Rutger this surprised me against the Yankees is just 3 and 10 pullin to this season against the Yankees Rickey Henderson will lead it off Ken Griffey then Don Mattingly Winfield hitting a cleanup spot Ron hassey to catch ready number 5 and Pascua the D H Mike Pagliarulo at third base those two folks and home runs on the board they're looking for left-handed hitter they've got some up here some young power hitters Rex Hudler of a spot Bobby Meacham the switch hitting shortstop Tony last night we heard from Don Baylor who did not concede his unhappiness of being platooned as you look at the Blue Jay defense today leach at first base for Upshaw boards for Garcia at second base final takes over at third of course Ernie Witte catching he really likes to play all the time as most ball players do he figures he's been an eighth tenant races can help this team but he's hitting on only one kind of pitching now pass to our goes the other way now you wonder if that's Billy or a combination Billy with orders from the man upstairs that Ramsey's called the dugout requesting that Billy would find a certain pitcher in fact he wanted to find the 500 at conflicting stories from different people Righetti for not covering first-base last night kind of things a happen the penetration the boss thinks that keeping players on edge is the way to do it it'll go one way or the other it could turn on you too they could wind up not caring about winning for a person like that amid hacking around doing still not out of it this guy sets the table looky Henderson and if you just make him put the ball in play he is also film 21 bingers on the board so you cannot just say hey here hit at the Rickey Henderson as well as Alexander's pitch that is the one a little blot on his record the 25 home runs that he's given up 19 to those 25 have come with nobody on base and over his last seven starts he hasn't walked very many and he hadn't given up many home runs so he's in a groove and he proved for the third year he's might be the best pitcher on this Blue Jays this best they are to go one out of the danger sister said of course the Yankees man to get it going for them Henderson Griffey and Mattingly here in the New York first inning why did got last night long about the fifth minute it stayed that way right to the end here at Yankee Stadium the boss was ranting raving last night about how all those his big hitters kept hitting ground balls too short Tony Fernandez had nine assists 16 assists for the ballclub and he gave no credit to Jimmy key da left-handers always been good in this part turn the ball over get the ground ball did he say they were out play out on out managed I guess that poor young woman they were under anthem I think he made a slip in there said when he said they're out over he knew to say that looking for balance and credibility in the state Mark Johnson behind the plate this is the same crew that was up at exhibition stadium for the Detroit series there's bickering from both sides the Tigers in the Blue Jays and it's continued right on through year Yankee Stadium a lot of pressure on the umpires you're also he could be on current in an instant was last night stole two bases second am third Ernie has got to be getting a little bit tired now you might not see as much this bad I think it shows they're catching everyday he wants to play every day and he's shot he's been doing an excellent job when you catch date game after a night game and a rough series like he's had a couple of series you can't come out of the chute as well with those legs there are the things you get tired I asked about that this morning and he said tomorrow is the greatest day of the week I can chat all day at Bob ha ha Chuck Egon Henderson with leech over at first base ken griffey did not play last night Billy samples against the left-hander Jimmy key who is brilliant started the game rookie is what he helped his team defensively he's gates of suckas catches he just destroyed the Boston Red Sox did one more game sweep here in New York recently even somewhat rejuvenated even those knees which has given him trouble I think a couple of years on dirt and grass instead of artificial surfaces knees and legs you come back Henderson is stolen 69 bases so far [Applause] unless you wanted no part of them back to prove them wrong with it in 61 250 hitter against the Blue Jays lifetime you think of a guy that wants to stay [Applause] Billy once that left-handed hitter that's why I moved Mattingly at time to the number two spot he got griffey today so that the catcher has to throw over the top of the head of the left-hand hitter for Henderson you get more fast balls ray and also Alexander behind both hitters his face Bob can't believe it he cannot believe the call that's about the third call that I can think of and he is argued on or at least looked at it he rarely says anything he's asking Ernie where was the pitch and Ernie that time turned on Hope then upon Mark Johnson we expected some questionable calls from Johnson we've seen the before there is there's no question that the boss sending the tapes to the league office and pump our decision over the years with Billy's personality the bench that the fan and the New York City intimidation factor works in all areas including umpire [Applause] this clerk the Tiger blue Jason's questionable calls there as well there have been in the series the umpire that inside protect and I only jerry new deckhand left of the balloon they get right down behind the catcher and I don't believe that can see the outside corner they can see through the captors Henderson looking where he sent a cop in DC - Ernie he gets blocked no way nothing to see here but a lazy flyball the left for George Bell Anderson halfway between the bases backtracks with one out thou Fergie Don Mattingly owner George Steinbrenner knocked two or three the players yesterday and manager Billy Martin after the loss how does that affect the kind of I've been on that side too and it's a thing that you kind of just take with a grain of salt it's just the way George does things uh that's his way of motivating and I think a lot of times he has good intentions I think for the ballclub he wants us to do well I think it's just his way of motivating people there's a good chance you're gonna be the most valuable player in the American League this year I don't know I'd say what I just tried to go out and do good things every day and try to keep our keep us right here and give us a shot down the run here to catch Toronto and you know that happened that's great but if not you know I did my best this year he sure has done his best this year sudden burst of power 28 home runs to become the first Yankee to win the RBI title since Roger Maris 142 back in 1961 days you remember Tony Mattingly started that homerun burst last year didn't hit many the mei-ling's but neither new George Brett and a lot of that is a Charlie Lau theory of hitting Lou Piniella hitting instructor advocate of that now everything that that weight shift from left to right for Mattingly people who solve in the minor league setting is a little blue pillar that's all he he was named as a pussycat he couldn't hurt you he hit the ball the opposite way here's the guy's about a hundred seventy-five eighty pounds goes barely six foot tall member Aaron site from Santa Jairo all across the greatest home run hitter in baseball history major leagues he was not a big guy in there and he had that great weight shift front to back shallow left field again for bail and back will go mr. Henderson with two away you cannot take anything for granted and out the lefty and this is the toughest left field in the game and a base man was spring in the fall [Applause] in baseball if you put your sunglasses down too soon it started the ball is not in the seats yet the people if you wait too long the Sun sits right on top of them stands then you lose it I think the lights into left field at night or a problem too because both belly sample and Belle almost couldn't pick up the ball in time started late gambled got past them in this series earlier so it's no picnic day or night Belle is shielding his eyes out there now as the left or the right-handed Dave Winfield stands in those headers he checks out his odd but he got such a jump he's there I'm surprised and Henderson didn't do this earlier the cop he had Griffin Mattingly who saw a lot of pitches he false started just one time in there a fact now against Winfield up with two outs he steals based on her 70 that is just four shy of at all time he ain't can record the dates back to 1914 I remember that guy what was his name yeah he was Uwe crits were roommates weren't Catherines covering ball drifts [Applause] three stolen bases by Henderson the last two days one place Niki's didn't burn when heaven was given a strong guy like wimpy where you can pitch inside the left-handed hitters up there Griffey and Matty you want to kick the ball away prevent that from pulling the ball occasionally come in but whether you can bust him inside a for what the club leader Mattingly Dave as 24 Dave was told about all the antics by the boss and the press box and is the press room he just kind of laughed as a see the doll [Applause] here's a guy that many people will say is the best player of the game his hundredth RBI last night that will do no damage here Asgar board tracks back on the grass at Yankee Stadium to collect this one they strand Rickey Henderson Alexander did not get stung by the dog walk he gave up these two contending teams in the American League East are scoreless who was with Jays last night got something done on it beginning that it concerned a lot of their fans I know that I was concerned about it that was not cashing in base runners left free on base in the first game at left two on base at a previous inning last night and then finally they made it all pay off but it's been a problem as teams getting in outfits bottom up roads going it's a familiar sign has been for some time I guess a sporadic out first of eight or 10 runs a game but it's been the pitching and the defense and the base running and the little things that go unnoticed that have gotten in that three and a half game lead you can't pour all of that takes it inside from Whitsett ball one driving in three runs on Friday they were all 300 there was a strike two of one on one pot of New Kids on both benches Billy berated his owner couple weeks ago for not giving him any support players off the bench bunch came up yesterday the good times so let him get up a bench and kind of mimic there's Billy with me Piniella to his right maybe who knows the way things go around here maybe tomorrow maybe in the Kolkata there's kids down there was mimicking Bolivar stamped we fix that right leg up Sunohara all did that also a laughable there is the change-up that whitson learned a couple of years ago when the finger was injured earlier this year last year forgot this was passed by when Billy took over the club from yogi Billy said look you've got a good fast man and throw more especially in Yankee Stadium a big part of the plan whoops another day to play yeah they got a case cabeza you open a pop bottle the wrong way you have a whole new career Vincent's been with the Giants loose for the padres as we said 30 years old pop back just to our left I think scurry while he's got that good breaking ball it's still a semi desperation move I think of the part of the Yankees now one of the surprising thing when the drug scandal in Pittsburgh and Dale bears but implicating us they had to testify rots carries the one was good if they would take a chance of getting him and he still got a chance to be an outstanding pitcher now if you can start with that curveball in this card ball is almost unhittable for left-handers almost comes up too soon off off for Hudler getting a chance to play in the heat of a pennant race where Willie Randolph probably the steadiest hankie there's Rod scurry suntanning Thank You soap they don't get burned miss Anthony for the son of the Blue Jays Ernie wit tired hanging in there fifteen straight games starting as a catcher for the Blue Jays Kaposi's the vets when they need buck Martinez last night oldest Tony that the cast is off the rehabilitation has started he's talking championship series he might be ready for yep he's determined the good thing now they've only got I like Anaheim they threw the tortillas up they really did lastly the last offseason they got to throw those tortillas out and the game was going badly I've eaten there shorty is I thought about two he the city councilman and I'm passed an ordinance that making tortillas ROI illegal [Applause] it's still around there was a lot of the books at Edmondson quite recently that it's taped the years and years that you could not drive a car backwards to come back to Cara that'll really hurt these might smell better though two balls and one strike there DeWitt new pitching coach here bill mom vote Kent under the great Boston Red Sox pitcher from the Mets organization for a while Mark Connor did an outstanding job pitchers thought fellow coaches it was high C in search of what's Papa so what city settle at my state three ground balls and a pop up since allowing Mosby single then his stolen base the J's branded into third the first it's a good job catching some squabbles between Butch winegar in front office also that he doesn't want to play here so they've stopped playing in quite a bit has he can pull the ball and it just some home runs in this ballpark or the short porch in right sure did on Thursday night a mammoth over on out the right field the Blue Jays the first game of the series quickly struggling is 120 any advance came in the face micro has experience Bobby Cox thought that serve them in good stead better than young successful fielder fielder started last night that eats better stuff for him wonder if meats had been to the block while your knee certainly deserved to be near Syracuse true too if the Blue Jays wouldn't have taken bigger lead in three and a half right now [Applause] Shepard so on that's a nutrient mcgillich is quietly admitted that in his projection you can be sure that this wasn't the year for the blue jays to win at all be closed again maybe next year is what he was projecting anybody might get away with it this year and indeed no question about a three and a half games up but the you to see me all of a sudden and perhaps they've got it cinched I still don't think the Divas have a sense they don't either but [Applause] in the September and guys are tired from having pet on the turf all year long out these little livery start piling up Mosby now a little hamstring up char see already for SIA they schedule - that'll or distilled - troit really and on the team a year the for drugs medic-2 Tony you'll appreciate this time here degree that youth might tend overextend yourself to just take that extra ounce dig a little deeper face it for leech you come off even pull buses lot of times retired but all should come off the artificial surface of firmers and you beat your Late Show on that stuff then you get a dirt and grass when you make a stride the dirt gives away and then it slips he really stayed on that ball ball down in the strike zone and leech and Bobby Cox ended for two years the guy he hadn't loved to have around you can be h with him the outfit first base you can pinch it great influence on a bench is Jesse you got his 23rd home run last night at a moment of laughter because everybody wants souvenirs of this seriously the season the blue rod went over the wall of a Yankee fans threw it right back they didn't want it miss Tina Frank mr. one in the brunt case and he'd never seen this Yankees name they've been doing that and Britney theory the Cubs for years birthday a can't Hamlet extra base for Leake she'll hold a third safe at second is Barfield he continues possibility of a hit and an error being charged to Griffey because I don't believe me Griffey got on that ball Barfield would have had a double would have been first and third a slider that just wrong Center the plate whitson thana was coming right back at him so he ducked Jesse's sauce dried he pulled it do not believe that his Griffey peeks he looked up to see where the runner was I think it's going to be a single in there but we'll see should be dead yesterday single an error that's how they scored it just the way you scored to Tony they're the griffie for the extra base each over 2/3 Barfield a second gar for CH now if that doesn't two outs and removes the course of second base any tough play for the infants especially on the left side they're gonna have to go across the diamond we gotta hurry on this or it streaking down he's so quick rock crusher plan tell you will here and off of his hamstring wouldn't come close to making that play but poplar gets a bad play like that not only excites the fan but it also excites the team he just saved Herat Garth who has good running speed watch this their head rolling tumbling to go to Mattingly a run saver by Rex Hudler well anyway he could make it any did so the Blue Jays grant to this is the bats Blue Jays baseball on CTV when the heat is on and nobody knows it more than this man Billy Martin here a must-win situation they'd have to stay within two and a half if they fall four and a half five it could almost be lights outside because that means that a sweep of the Blue Jays it itself would not be enough the final weekend of the season for the Yanks to overhaul them Toronto plays 56 place teams till they get to the Yankees you get in Boston but they can throw the runs on the board they haven't much this year and Milwaukee who gave them a lot of trouble but last year Milwaukee is a lot of new kids up that you don't know what you're going to get they're going to be loose paint for next year Yankees of one game we did not mention that is a make up from the strike tomorrow the Indians coming in here Joel Kali will face Jamie easterly and you know how tough Haven was in Toronto Ron hassey they have called him babe a CD but what he has done in the last 17 game six home runs only about 660 home runs behind Babe Ruth his clothes again I'll tell you remember this spring Ricky Henderson hurt his ankles and was in a rehab in Florida Bobby Murcer vice-president went down the phone with Herman hit had 11 at-bats and instructionally as he fights it off it's cut studies go by for nine days one gone and they suck at any let's go to Fergie now any instructor at Lou Pinella you worked a lot with dan pass breath what's his capabilities well Danny is a young man that we brought up from Columbus tore up the International League and he needs to gain some experience here in the major leagues and he gets a little old ranch as his home plate at time and it's not as selective he should be but he's a young man it's got a lot of power the short dimensions here in Yankee Stadium should be suited very well for him and he's gonna have an outstanding major-league career danny is a primarily a fastball hitter but he can adjust to the breaking ball and today he faces Doyle Alexander and I think you'll hit him well Pasqua in batting practice Park one off the side out of the facing out in right field but then Jesse Barfield Assad said yeah but a couple of hours he'll face a little different kind of pitching fish my thought on nurse or mercy would the Pats and instructionally and the rehab from Rickey Henderson now they made a joke of it because he didn't do very well down there but they were serious thoughts of getting his left-handed bat back yep because the left-handed power has been gone from this ballclub what you need they have seventy five home runs from left-handed hitters this year it's Kali Aurelio and pass one passing griffeys got some of the course Mattingly with 28 in the ball club so he's got almost a board the third of those you balls and a strike Basco digging in much better the fight now look earlier he came up he was named the Yankees outstanding Milotic player in their system at 18 home runs in Columbus this year triple-a a team that took on Tidewater in the National League Championship Series he's gonna strike out loud he led the league when he played at Nashville last year 148 strikeouts he struck out on over a hundred times one other time at Fort Lauderdale but you will give in as far as average and let a guy strike out in this ballpark if he can reach those seats in right field and be a run producer and that's what he's got a chance to be [Applause] cat is too too good changes so doyle reports his first strikeout of the for a right-hander before the change-up in this ballpark with a short porch you have to have a great changeup that's the one they park in the right-field seats maybe the home runs at Pagliarulo I was thrown up there he had a good debut in the major leagues went 3 for 5 at his first game against the Minnesota Twins the couple of runs driven in the black band and all the Yankees are wearing on that sleeve for the late peachie it was the clubhouse man here for the jungle soft after Pete are you talking about a great Yankee Ichi here during the days of Lou Gehrig and all the other greats the mad Joe is pseudo mmm they're talking about I think putting a plaque on the left-center field area and all the other memorable days ice touch Pat Gillick Sammy deity when they heard of Pete's death while ago what are we gonna send what should be doing a little nice things cities memorial to a church in the area New Jersey people his family belong to entire team it is memory with the black stripe you see left arm now patty reuleaux never been a Yankee played here the first thing they didn't do when you're out is to go into the clubhouse to sit down in a little old table peachy find out what's going on before you thought that anybody back-to-back strikeouts good oil yeah three down Yankee second to complete this eggs all across the board here at Yankee Stadium and this the fourth game of the big showdown in New York this is the bats Blue Jays baseball on CTV some word pictures what is that a UFO flying overhead I thought he was pulling a Dick Allen wind account wrote in the dirt and Philadelphia TradeMe [Applause] controversy there is send messages to people in the stands set bottles out to sea with a note in it Tony Fernandes led off three times last night gets a second chance here in this city hustling is pad gorilla all but a fan beats him to it any thing you can say about these Yankees but I know what the boss said them that Quentin it shows by the way Rickey Henderson took out domicile Garcia one of the ball game went into his knee the way he Pagliarulo almost goes into the stands tell you he had those fans were reaching out into the playing surface something like that I'm surprised Billy didn't come out haven't had a grape as far as fan interference that ball might have been playable if he snuck the run out at Hall he was supposed to get help from those Manny Aldous content he did Mattingly stopped it but can't get him but a pretty often he had Keith Hernandez Wow that ball took a bad hop to down and fouled it off a little cup of dirt or something he still got his glove on it saved the double almost turned it into it out Yankee defense has gone unnoticed everybody talks about their great offense most of this year when they've made their big run they putt the ball very well while serving in the case of Mattingly you get dazzled by his home runs in RBIs but what about his glove he's go blob candidate nobody better this lake go to Hernandez with the Mets and the other link to find some of the cops animals right here in New York bats last first place to st. Louis and the event said yesterday kick the ball around Olympic Stadium aid for Ayres Gary Carter was charged with two but I've never seen two unfair errors well that's gorilla I think like Gary said after the game he thought the official score has got it in for him was even down what air should have been Hernandez one should been Howard Johnson did both Cheerilee as you think the trade worked out a lot better for the Expos than many people but it certainly has worked out well for the bats so Mosby he sit behind him the first inning ducking back into first base is Tony Fernandez one strike count alloys there's nobody out here the Jays third Dodgers have it all blocked up they beat the Reds last night leave them thrown up in here the Santa but they win this one they pitched out Tony may have been doing he gave a false start he is such a smart player he may have seen not the pitch outside time's a pitcher speeds up is delivered that line speeds up as delivery does two things either speeding up to come to first base for pickoff move or he speeding up to get the ball faster to his catcher his weight his regular delivery [Applause] yep nope all-star I think Tony can really steal more bases than he does he's got 13 like Ozzie Smith with the Cardinals and have got the Vince Coleman in the Willie McGee's Iranian advance lights some of the other base stealers why run your shortstop down and it's the same with him he plays so hard for if you were to try and steal more which gets rough on your leg on sliding I'd hope to defensively over the long haul hojae's about baserunners of each of the first two innings on collected so far lloyd fights it off settle 1 & 2 Mosby has really excelled at number two spot he got it permanently late in July nets are beating Montreal five to one that's a la keeps on going be treating them that's all but over [Applause] the cards have met show signs of going right down to the wire Kansas City with a three-game lead over California in the West Billy the dugout at the two teams the best second half last to your figure and at this year with good second half the Yankees and the Royals now here's the call right here there's the dr. Stronach great pitching staff where the offensive love here's the count right here like to run on 2 & 2 should gung-ho first applying advance count but do you pitch out and go to 3 & 2 I believe stuff if he pitched out went 3 and 2 combined have a chance to get Fernandez we'll see 20 is on they said to get next to base all the way to third despite Winfield's great are he pitches out and goes three and two of the counties got Fernandez dead brazen call for Billy Martin our Hansa to make Fernandez's out of the move right here and white goes down and get the pitch he likes best out in the strike zone and what's it and the Yankees are in big trouble first and third nobody out Mosby's gone two for two with this base hit and is comfortably over to third base for rats politics Alexia's he had three old poor against the Yankee's this year Billy Martin can't afford to wait too long were the importance of this game difference could be the Blue Jays going to four and a half the Yankees win it could be down to two and a half so he might have that bullpen going very very quickly and leave anybody in too long 3:25 the people in scoring position let's go for now third base scarf a Yankee Stadium if you want to wear it seriously left-handers going now for the yankees it's not rots Kirino houses back the other way to go to strikes quickly Dennis Rasmussen is the man warming up for the entries at the Columbus his death for antennas is Vulcan Rasmussen deshays scurry and face it for bollocks we'll get the blue jay is a one-nothing lead here at the toronto fur fifty-two for a if you like the opening that you saw when the song and the beat of the heat is on Jabra at their saddle director or producer Tom McKee put together a really great opening I thought the heat is on even further now and it's continued being that way and it sounding the a keys and there's still nobody out that graphic illustration does you look at Bobby Cox and the shadows there of the heat was the racetrack fire Darlington in Chicago a couple of months ago Kelly just yelled out the Pagliarulo to go have a little talk saves him a trip to them and have a talk with whitson stall for a little time for the left-hander Rasmussen to get loose also to make sure if there is a bunt which is unlikely they don't mess up the communications Kelly reload back at third George hits a deep deep to left field way back goes grippy can't get up here comes another Toronto ride tune-up in Blue Jays over at 2nd and 3rd still nobody out fools are not from our [Applause] people still miss yogi around here the best record in baseball a second half last year and the sanke team breaking ball just stay down I believe in days baseball this ball is it pretty hard without the Sun that proof he might have had a shot when you battle Assad and a line drive like that makes it tougher circles the ball just a little bit George Bao gets at least one end still nobody out we open it give it a fight a few bases on balls forty and ninety seven innings pitched nine home runs [Applause] serve some time in Columbus San Diego Padres at 83 for a while Yankees enough in 84 for a while tell you what the Blue Jays have succeeded in doing Tony is really dipped into this Yankee pitching story they have made the Morgan that's something that Billy Martin wanted or boy to be possibly good last night Jimmy key the only man who saw action abuja really down when you look back you didn't just diss and it's been going that way for the last couple of months for the Yankees Guidry will give you the good game negro give you the good game and then it's up for grabs the rest of the starters so the bullpen coming in tired to start with the big series hasn't helped and the era's clip and they've just happened to be scoring nine runs a game is what they're good it's what's carried them they're big played Milwaukee won a 13 to 10 ball game milik sound third bells at second nobody out the dangerous Johnson Rasmussen seven bluej hits her on the board the potential for more but just two up so far the way of Ronald's Johnson with a major league record mr. we're got that of the Blue Jays last year uh what they said he'll cash in two more on a move bringing Johnson back from Texas by Pat Gillick it's for nothing for the Toronto Blue Jays Tilly trying to shut up further scoring had to play as in feel in cliff Johnson got a running fastball tailing away went the other way drives it right through the infield he knew because he's been with his Yankee ballclub and played for Billy how they were gonna try and pitch him and he went with it lately that's a sign of the veteran good banning I like Johnson too good attitude he didn't have to take this thing downtown just what he did is enough to score to run he got the job done Ernie wit with Johnson at first base still a zero into the out column here in the Blue Jays third inning what attempts to but takes ball one spices were shaken team right now with what has happened last night and today surprised me a little bit that Ernie squared around and sacrificed with leach another left-hander behind him if they were right-hander guide him although boardy again yep rich board age they don't read the parents last night gave way to Righetti Carson her knee what gets him over Bob he's got the right-handed pinch-hitter as he can send on outside wit is a head - and old a lot of bench strength at this time of the year Ernie was 16 home runs and a big one in Game one of this series his personal best with his next home run slow roller but not slow enough to prevent the double play for the erase Johnson and whipped to God the bouge third Jean Michel the former Yankee manager now the third-base coach has done a lot of work with Bobby Meacham meets him once once a product or the property of the st. Louis Cardinals but they have that guy named Ozzie Smith so he was expendable came over as a very rough hewn shortstop michael has calmed him down got his he makes a lot of errors drawing he's gotten a lot better leach got a single last time up was stranded a third base hwijae's left both base runners in the second a total of three on the day but they certainly made the most of them here the third inning you've got to keep piling it on against this Yankee team you know even though the dogs out there he's pitched so well you can come again the stopper on the starting rotation they can hit you with a six spot one inning in a hurry so you got to keep like ramble maybe again soon Kofi blunt late fouls it back to and what they have Louisiana lightning and Ron Guidry and they've had what they call a ten o'clock thunder here like the skies were clear Batz couldn't generate the comeback leaps into right field that's gonna go down on the corner give them an extra base on the Winfield Amin he can hide that with that bounce off the wall look at the throw now with that short porch out there the ball gets packed in a hurry in Winfield one of the best athletes in this game like yeah Rasmussen hung a slider and see where it just stays up there for leech to hit inside part of the plate he's trying to overthrow just a little bit at one time before the refurbishing of this state remember the egg he spent over to Shea Stadium for a couple of years while they redid this that was just to made these six in the right-field corner but I went out very fast they shortened the dimensions considerably in Senate right-center and left-center field still a good pitcher's Park but at one time all the pitchers loved to come in here especially if you're left-handed what does produce as we saw with Mosby last night the game's longest singles again for each right now he's at first base for Jesse Barfield a 1o captive our field Griffey try to loud it up they mix the mistake it's going to constable run all the way from first base comes leech way keys are falling apart meet John uncorked in another run will score [Applause] griffey in the top quarter left field and then we'll meet you've got the relay he uncorked it in the row number two alongside the Yankee dugout he'll get an air Billy as going to the bullpen this looks like batting practice the way the Blue Jays are treating this inning sure does Paul sneaks by Griffey watch Meacham he gets a lot on this baby a lot it was killed somebody in row two he needed 150 foot throw and he made a foreigner patron he threw his hires equip folks look at Jessie go down and get another breaking ball look like a cider they're set up properly a real a man Meacham's got it Barfield decided to hole and the pitcher asked us in there to back it up after cueing he hasn't signed yet even he couldn't bring it down hojae's are going to hit around here in the they said 10 man up last night of their big uprising so rich sporting a guy the Blue Jays have had pretty good success with place an objective Dennis Rasmussen I would think they will get Barfield a double yeah the judgment of the score red Foley I believe newspaper writer will be given air for sure to meet you but will be whether or not to give Barfield an RBI would leach have scored from first base so they've probably given him a good bar feel of double an RBI and error to meet you yep major losing three or four of this Toronto Club they've got the best record in baseball in their home park has made their pitching look a little bit better than it has any right to be this monsters ballpark and dirt and grass up an exhibition stadium Troodon committee er a an artificial surface in that ban box follow the power out to both stories still not out of it but they don't look good today with the mets yesterday up to Montreal it look good last night Ron hassey catching board he came with him with Henrik Otto from the Cubs or Rey pot no with this crowd today this is expected to be the largest four-game proud series in the history of the American League are they going to go two hundred thousand thousand over 50,000 each night it is the largest crowd over four days the Blue Jays have ever appeared before it's interesting guys Garth or just had five hits in this series so far at three last night to Friday night but he said he hit the ball better Thursday night he didn't get a base hit it is better to be lucky than good sometimes this guy soldering curveballs generally the right-handed hitters its breaking ball after breaking another distinction that mr. boardy has he was the final player signed by Charlie Finley [Applause] Vall sooner or later penguin like to jump all over cups left him off the roster to the playoffs last year which a little upset by that then the praise of New York he's at one game start this is 48 appearance goes after homicide jiae's hit around 6 being a lot the Blue Jays have 10 hits of the ballgame and they lead the New York Yankees six to nothing with a stunning third inning here in the Bronx this is annoying the couple of hitters will be watching through what toy was last Audi there was a time to see if he was still in twenty five or thirty when he had trouble with a fastball getting behind hitters and he's then getting hit hard by the home run he's all but giving up on the knuckleball except occasionally show it to them he said maps that weren't as long as the one he had on the bench here while the Blue Jays said nine men play at that last inning the younger pitcher you might be concerned with Doyle a veteran knows that a handle it had a stop I want to keep warm and loose blur the base hit a triple last night the guy that they say hasn't got a great pad he's got outstanding speed we saw that he came through offensively for the Yankees last night losing seven four cause he's it for average a few years in the minor leagues but not with a whole lot of power if he can turn the DoublePlay steal your base the Steinbrenner blocks I believe just having the snack is doug.creighton don't see the boss's son he's probably on the phone someone tearing it going off its moorings can you fire 40 guys and bring up the minor-league team you're on the club he knew it everyone he liked I think that what he said is probably frustration just pouring out of the owner it hasn't helped this team today still got a ways to go though surely a little third but at six nothing Toronto shallow center field or it's converging next to play and both Carthage and Tony Fernandez know Lloyd's leg is sore and he's got a long way to run they're going out to help out well we're going to try it again today folks Paul and chainsaws dependable and priced right sold by dealers you can't rely on from cutting firewood to felling big timber you can rely on pole and chain songs nicely done back by popular demand Tony's version of the chainsaw message without a hitch who's got the chainsaw massacre this time [Applause] nope they're back good boy they paid part of her salary Muller's come in tight case Meechum tries to drop a bunt out doyle a pretty good feeling pitcher he reacts well we meet you'd love to atone for the back what he did with his farm on that ball the seats he lifts it into right field a little lazy fly ball takes it in for the second aisle Boyle's only allowed one base runner that was the man coming up next Anders - despite the game walked him and rookie stole a base before that's as far as the Yankees of God way the trek [Applause] which of the heat is on is Henderson stands in there the C TV show called night heat they put the crew and that show the cast sponsor a little league team at least side they want a championship yesterday plan is to pitch to Alexander three up three down for the Yankees the spark right there in the Yankee third three complete back on the Bronx there it is six nothing for the Jays misuk Oh bats Blue Jays back forty Whitsun started Rasmussen the left-hander Pagliarulo up tight at third with Tony Fernandez Fernandez soft liner to short infield single and he scored leading off the third usually you don't get your meat on Peter to leadoff more than one inning to start of the ballgame Tony three times last night three times here today two balls no strikes from boardy in the corner at Behar yep yes barely tailed off past the 3/10 sign at the foul pole solovy two balls and a strike on Tony Fernandez the Yankees our 51 wins 18 losses as we look at Fernandez shot the right-field corner as boardy holds his breath but it hooks foul 51 18 that is the best cold record in baseball in the major leagues on the road they are two games below 535 and 37 breaking ball count goes two balls two strikes the differences the Jays rank right behind them in home performance could way ahead of them on the road on the road the Blue Jays are 41 and 31 10 games above 549 and 21 an exhibition stadium breaking ball fouled back Kyle stayed two balls to strengths at six rod uprising equals the Blue Jays best single inning performance this year they've done that for the sixth time now two balls two strikes nobody out who j6 runs tenets no airs the Yankees no runs no hits two errors Meacham's got it one goes b-24 to the ballgame a stolen base a run scored and he's also pulling a little hamstring and when you get a big lead and you've got a valuable property like this Bobby Cox may be too early yet has got to start thinking of getting him out of there if the lead holds up much longer giving him the off day tomorrow hope he can come back on Tuesday night at the Boston breaking ball strength order the Jays at his store to settle with a Red Sox after what Boston did to them on that four-game sweep back in June ofin now Bob Stanley who pointed a written reports we got said he's going to get that charge the silly thing to say goes Bobby Brown the league president reads to it yeah and it came out some papers whether it was an actor caught or not I don't know but Bob Stanley had some surgery on his pitching hand a little growth her stump I believe so he is gone for the season to strike straight 20 good news today for New York fans is the Jets lead Buffalo 28 3 third quarter in the NFL and where the mental lens is it yep or is it yeah they are the Giants are on the road here in Green Bay they set Mosby is three for three slides back getting hot at the right time sure is Mosby's average first up the 262 going in today and with that 3 4 3 performance he's at least at 267 or 268 I would play he's got another base set hitting her up to 90 since he took the number-2 spot got a hit off Whitson I guess she got two hits off what see the Allen thinking gallon all brass percent boertie gets one out 6-nothing Toronto 11 hit stone on the board by Toronto and there's just one out before strike two moments he is grounded out single driven in Iraq breaking ball face set past cutler Henderson will not get Mosby at third they are at the corners again with just one out bollocks 2 for 3 in the ballgame it looks like the car today where you going to see ed witson the starter and the staff for the Yankees yes got a day two and maybe an inning or so one more beer one more hot dog we may see the stadium empty out people are sliding there are better things to do at a Sunday afternoon you see manager Bobby Cox there guys he's sitting right in the middle of the dugout that's something that he normally doesn't do maybe it's a little superstitious thing that he has about this series usually he's at one end or the other but not for this four-game series Jorge bow as bordey misses with a breaking ball foul has double driven over-under scored and grounded out six nothing first and third one out popped up should be out of play it is what it was too large Billee mark say Billy for I guess fired we heard four times is the whole world record to give a longer to yogi will you manage the assets team all games and let go when in watt one down breaking ball misses y4d falls behind to alive her yogi tell me how to spring training didn't have a healthy Henderson Maddy way some surgery didn't have any spring training or very little wind feel they Hannity spring training he was hurt kewal stays too high three balls and one strike to George now as party is struggling well I guess the boss is you look at the on deck man Johnson would say look what the Yankees have done at her Martin but who's to say they wouldn't done the very same thing with Yogi Yankees both head up again there goes the runner popped up the I hope it hasit couldn't [Music] so mullux who's on the move will help to come back to the three and one pitch there are two ounces bring up with Johnson and grove in two of those runs the big outburst of third inning another left-hander up in the Yankee bullpen rats curry pirates and those along with Dale Dave Parker call to testify the drug hearing or the drug case of Kurdish strong what a mess two outs first and third Blue Jays lead six nothing darling Xander once more having long set down on the bench he has not yet allowed to hit through three innings John said with a base set with the in feelin pinch-hitting for Alvar the third driving home to and a chance to his RBI total right now one strike for boardy on the slider the Willie Mays name do I get heat rows and sometimes Mike Schmidt pink stricken from the record you just don't know how much is erroneous testimony hearsay one ball one strike to Johnson it a little tired and you throw a lot of innings and 40 puts yesterday you started hanging that breaking ball you just hugged one but it stayed too far inside one in what two outs Mosby at third mullux at first [Applause] one ball two strikes to heat play you know when you look and we got two down in the fourth inning the only two spots in the lineup you don't have basic oranges oh for two and what is Oprah to base hits for the Blue Jays here in Yankee Stadium today [Applause] [Music] a little shaker so two stranded for the Blue Jays as board he pitches out of it middle of a fourth here at Yankee Stadium Blue Jays six Yankees nothing Blue Jays with latrina feed and Griffey Mattingly and Winfield will face Paul Alexander the winning is Blue Jay pitcher thus far this year with 15 he's lost Griffey getting some hoots for a couple of balls that were hinted at at Tufts unfilled out left field a fire over there outside the left field wall mr. Steinbrenner was some signals how do you say SOS an Inuit or in the Bronx greffi flied to left his first time up [Applause] strike very quickly and that shadow beginning to creep across home plate and be there in a couple of innings then it gets very very difficult to hit in this part changeup runs Lowell 101 a couple of innings a bright day like this it's tough later on it gets awfully tough to head - alive - ken griffey and it used to be really tough to this parks at over 70,000 people when they would set people in dead center filled with white shirts out and then the shadows would come painted it nobody sits there used to be where's 4:10 used to be 461 feets and the monuments were out in fair territory the flagpole was there too you can play a ball in fact I saw Jimmy Piersall monuments monuments out their cars to move bearing huggins plaques for DiMaggio couple of popes fly ball tough sun field glasses down bal shades his eyes he's got it so good before [Music] [Applause] Yankee hitting instructor Lou Pinella what makes done that it was such a great hitter well Donny the next hitter as we all know he was American League batting champion last year Danny can use a whole field to hit with you can hit the ball for power he can drive in key runs with men in scoring position he had just fought at home plate doesn't strike that often he's just a good all-around hitter he makes contact there's no certain way to pitch him when you have all those qualities going for you plus the fact that he works as hard as anybody else had his hitting skills and he wants to be the best hitter in baseball you've got a good product keeps the ball away look at Bailey [Applause] TUC the official score [Applause] you would say give them an air but in this field you never know if the physicists are going to do some Mattingly's on it would be tough to give Mattingly a hit on that because it is the first hit of the ball game against our lives Anna yeah we're only the fourth with one out watch you see they lost the ball can't fight now he picks it up but it never really came out of the Sun I don't care how dr. glasses you use news in this ballpark if it's in the side [Applause] his tongue George Mouse finding out about my grades ha he he's on second base well Dave Winfield he popped up in the first six nothing Toronto they lead the East and the New York Yankees by three and a half cause I would feel [Applause] straighten some Cheers especially the great old park like this for knowledge tuition they tell them when the clap and hardigan loud loud louder they've been getting quiet and quieter here Winfield with a hundred RBIs fourth consecutive year he has 24 home runs he plays every day from the side booth 5-1 in 1a Dave Winfield Winfield of course drafted by a couple of other cool sports NFL Baskerville basketball so cyst and the American Basketball Association shows baseball the San Diego Padres they came over here vulture robots loud they do with the toll followed a strike the mattingly down at second base from the side pace set left-field to make sure they [Applause] what what poor decision by jean-michel six runs down and the bullet thrown from deep left field by George Bell as Mattingly is out the first hit off Alexander veneer six runs down you play base to base Mattingly had to hold up didn't get a good jump off second base in case the line drive was caught Michaels still thought he had him you might remember a few years ago and Mike Ferraro was coaching in the playoffs League Championship Series and the boss got all over him in front of Mike Ferraro's wife for losing a runner at home plate Belle uncocks a great throw Ernie puts the tag on Mattingly is gone it is still a six nothing ballgame and things are going wrong in a hurry for the Yankees on such a staff so the ball off Belle's glove didn't hurt him the great throw erased it you know when you look at that bat throw comes all the way home and Winfield goes second base either as soon as he saw that throw launched of left field he shouldn't have been standing on first bulks and this team is down not out jet that was getting close Cassie grounded out the second two balls no strikes well jean-michel and the best nerd based coaches in the business figuring Mattingly could score easily and really is about the same when they're Jaden farmer Yankee manager executive and Balon parked that throw I thought he's through the wrong base I thought he should have thrown the second because there was no chance but Mattingly kind of stumbled around got a bad jump didn't slide till the end and hold plate be more heat on after this game time is call no pitch no pitch first base umpire Dan Morrison was calling time and that is no pitch don't know what happened if Winfield requested time it's kind of a silly thing to do Alexander is saying something how can you do that hitter didn't request it I'm in my motion and you're given time there's wind filled with bleach at first base and the six-nothing lead playing behind him that's much too late to call time a strike to hassey so I walk to Henderson leading off the ballgame he stole second was left stranded he was one base runner then Alexander retired ten in a row left fielder George Bell wouldn't feel single bathroom adding without hope another base level first and second Pascua who struck out the second the shadows creep closer here in the Bronx 6-nothing Blue Jays well what I don't believe Alexander like that to chill you get two men on a left-handed hitter up with some power he turns out of the ball and you can have 63 in a hurry no center of that you better have a little bloodlust in you when you come into this ballpark [Applause] the bus drivers of the fans they're all experts aren't they yeah when you get you get this team down you better stop all over because they can come back quickly hey I'm playing this well and hope for nothing they control the runs on the board in a hurry chew it Oh to pass quad a left-handed pull hitter with two and I [Applause] continue to try and keep the ball away he ran to count the three balls no strikes Pagliarulo home run hit her up behind him Billy may put the tank sign on three no try and load them up Pagliarulo who is that 18 home runs for this ball club this guy's at nine passport Reno for the faces I load it Alexander shaking his hand say too wet and hold plate umpire Mark Johnson you got to be kidding the Ernie is trying to calm him down and Mark Johnson has no business doing this walking all the way out to the mile because he may have missed a few pitches Bobby Cox will go out now he may not say anything on the way back the VI use a ball strike call he's automatically ejected she may go out in the mouth stand there until Johnson comes to him we'll see and then Bobby could have his peace they're loaded up with two outs Mike Pagliarulo who struck out in the second he's trailing six nothing Bobby Cox will say nothing to the empire's Johnson knows what he's thinking he doesn't to say anything he pushes resigned himself to the fact from hey if you argue in this park you might incite the fans more and cite the Yankees there's Winfield he's single the only base hit off Alexander this game he's at third Hasse walked he's at second past squad just walked he is at first with Pagliarulo Dennis laughs up Froy Steve Davis the young left-hander I thought his schedule going to start the boss but TV left-hander's in this ballpark counteract that short porch and right and all the left-handed hitters foxes nivalis Rudy Clark and Davis in the bullpen from the left side today here [Music] [Applause] believe it two balls no strikes here's a guy overs last six or seven outings has not walked very many he has walked three so far this ball game to consecutively in the Senate Pagliarulo will be swinging he pops it up arune so the Yankees will probably strand three they do Alexander forced to throw a lot more pitches than it looked like he ought to Jake who's Scranton freeze for in this ball game after four when Jean Michaels came back to the dugout after Pagliarulo popped up at the bases loaded he and Billy Martin had a little discussion after Mattingly was sewn on at home plate down by six runs on the Winfield single one way discussion only one man was talking Billy wait you do it Billy and with the boss you listen dirty wet Rick leads Jesse Barfield against the 30 a key pitcher let's party off the end of the bat on a breaking ball pal [Applause] six runs 12 hits one error for Toronto for the Yankees no runs one hit two airs the nikon FG there's an SLR camera with automatic manual and pre-programmed modes for brilliant 35-millimeter pictures the nikon FG simple enough to start with sophisticated enough to stay with nikon we take the world's greatest pictures and if you're looking around Yankee Stadium or see the Sports Illustrated photographers you will see the night kind of use by almost everyone with their finely ground lenses to give you clarity and conciseness don't get too far Rek leads to four - ball game filling in for Willie up shop Cutler roll his left what rains at kids got to easy apps for its forty that hasn't happened too often in this ball game you've got to go back to the first mullets and bow which grounded out the hundred second base we'll hear and up with a pulled hamstring missing this series so there are two outs it's Jesse Barfield he is two for two a single a double a run squad and a couple of RBIs two outs one strike got Jesse breaking ball missed away what in live if you joined us late woojae's in the third with six runs on seven base hits they batted around witson started Denis Rasmussen the left-hander came out in the third the pitch to put Johnson pinch yet John said immediately with the infield drawn in base hit the right-field two RBIs sporting breaking ball strike one or two two outs Alexander had struggled to a fourth we walked a couple in air a base set which doubt of it [Applause] the upper deck there's never been a fair hit ball hit out of Yankee Stadium Frank Howard hit one over the left field foul pole that went out in that area when there's with the scalloping they called it filed Bobby Shantz the pitcher third baseman Clete Boyer swore at what out Fair closest whenever to go out mickhead right field that baby 550 to 600 feet [Applause] right inside two balls two strikes two outs Mik pack work and television now heard of me I came in from Montreal last night where the scooter will why end of the bat on the side three ground ball drops on perhaps the would fit Whitley Chan Barfield three up three down Denny middle of the fifth here Yankee Stadium six nothing Toronto you're watching Labatt's Blue Jays baseball on CTV [Applause] [Music] have had a treat all year long remember it started last year Pat Gillick went out strengthen the ball club this year chop file no lecture was in tight for a Rex Hudler popular hitting out of the a spot he popped up in the third Meacham and alexander's allowed just one base in that to Dave Winfield in the 4th inning 6-nothing Toronto they are trying to win three or four years first time in they one two three ballgames ah close ballgame then they beat up on the bullpen alone at that time close games so they've got a chance sweep the season series here in Yankee Stadium I don't know if any other team has done that and sweep it handily if they can come up with a win today one and one from the shy the jays haven't one--at over all season series from the yankees since 1982 seven games to 6:30 now they were two out of the three here the first time in two three in this series lost to a three in Toronto so even if the Yankees come back and lose this they will have won the series here in Yankee Stadium call them two strikes with nobody out from the side a changeup man smiling tell each one down kids got speed going down papi meet you the Yogi's [Applause] American League in runs scored they've scored 750 for the coach I would guess he's he's in the place in this guy first bad I saw when I came down for breakfast but Thursday morning Friday morning there he was he's been a great friend in support of mine and yours too I know he helped you do a lot of boxing for ABC TV and radio get involved in the Olympics and sorry AVO he's a very loyal guy you can dislike them if you'd like on camera off camera if you get to know him and sit down have a little pop with him he's pretty decent guy yep he's all right say the least one out two balls no strikes the Bobby Meacham he flied to right in the third the only person Howard really doesn't like right now is Pete Rozelle he's all over his case week after week three balls no strikes Alexander the verge now he just does walks his fourth Yankee [Applause] that was a problem earlier in the year for Doyle getting behind and giving up walks and then the home runs followed him behind the counter sitting on a certain pitch leach will hold Meacham on at this point with Henderson who has walked stole a base and grounded out Elwood Meyer the man with his back to you talking to Bobby Cox the dimeric cars has done such a magnificent job in a small ballpark on turf Blue Jays having the best dra in the American League a ball to Henderson Henderson has had 100-plus walk years before so far this season he is walk 86 times we always had an extremely high on-base percentage he's got that crouch one ball one strike now to him with one out Blue Jays leading it six nothing from the side of the other end one ball two strikes Henderson doesn't like it Mets leading over Montreal five to two in the eighth Cardinals with a half a game lead in the Eastern Division National League over the New York Mets that's a great race so is this one till recently it still got a chance to go down to those three games against the Yankees shop filed by Anderson to stay at one and two and still the possibility of that makeup game against Baltimore after the season is over with and then if it ended up in a tie I don't know if the coin has been flipped yet the Yankees and the Blue Jays would have to play one game playoff game remember the last time the Yankees were involved one of those up in Boston Bucky Dent and a home run into the screen off Torrez to win it right back at door bad baserunning down six runs you gotta wait till the ball hits the ground don't care even if it's back at the pitcher so they double up Bobby Meacham all right back with you and we saw him a moment ago Howard Cosell has joined us here in the booth hey pal Tony Kubek great series it started out to be Howard it started out to be but it's ending as a catastrophe quite clearly for the Yankees they are falling apart as a headline today and then the Daily News suggested oh don't tell me the Daily News finally caught up with obvious truth sit with us for a while hard sure sure right here we're in the top of the SEC's the third Yankee pitcher rich sporty whitson started Rasmussen came out Carthage Tony Fernandez Lloyd Mosby Alexander's allowed just one base set that by Winfield Blue Jays lead at six nothing they have a three and a half game he leads you've been around the baseball scene in the New York Brooklyn coogans bluff.the see this before the four-game series and the old days Giants Dodgers Yankees got this in the World Series Baba Death Valley Rickey Henderson gets it one out in the sixth but baseball is on a high right now in terms of the pennant races and with New York involved in both leagues one New York team until today's game ends you've given up by them already this Yankee team the Yankee team I never picked them we're never a subscriber to the Subway Series no I have repeatedly said on network radio did an interview with two of them for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on television that the Jays are the most underrated unsung under publicized team with in my memory this is the first great baseball team appalled the strike with one down the Blue Jays leading at six to nothing Fernandez chops this one foul Tony is lined to short singled in the infield a great stop by Matt and he couldn't get him he came on to score and also popped up to short you didn't pick the Tigers like I did way back in spring training in spring training I'd picked to run they have such marvelous balance Howard you do remember that chevre good for you and I picked the Tigers for a third they may not make it to outs Mattingly unassisted now they won't make it ball them all finished yeah seven set down consecutively now by bordey but blankies have to come up with a beginning to overcome the six run deficit they're looking at right now Tony that's not like you you're a totally candid man if they were going to have a beginning their shot was in the fourth when mistakenly Michael sent Mattingly in and I can't believe Pagliarulo swinging at that to a known pitch let me tell you what Michael is going to get the heat for that but Maddie Lee is you could name him in the top three players in the game right now he got a late jump thought the lion does would be fun and he didn't run very hard and he didn't slide till the end so he also made a mistake which hung up gee Michael and I would never pick on Hattie because he could rate him maybe number one in Major League Baseball these days in all areas well he hasn't had a good series here in perfect truth and in George Steinbrenner blew his top last night I for one understood it Griffey has been a bust Winfield hasn't hit and Don Bella 40 gets Mosby on a strikeout Mosby with a 3 4 3 ballgame until that so another nice sitting thrown at the Blue Jays by rich sporty is it too late we'll find out as the game progresses we go to the bottom of the SEC statistician way back the hair our special guests from ABC television you name a big event and Howard Cosell has done it Olympics so admirably line so to speak Munich long attention display of anti-semitism and we're back to the ballpark and Howard stick with us will you Griffey Mattingly Winfield leeches got it Doyle Alexander Dover one out in the sixth [Applause] the booing griffie and he has totally failed in this big series well he left one of those balls stick by him and in the relay by Meacham running to the stands there was one ball earlier that went off the edge of his glove and he's made several great catches off the wall in left field this year in fact out in the stands and never boo this guy mr. Mattingly's bat his blow Mattingly fly to left fly again the leftist Alexander just keeping the ball away from with fast balls making Mattingly hit the big part of the ballpark his bow battles his son again he got an errand to vote on Mattingly back in the fourth with a capped off the edge of his glove and he is battling that baby out there hard oh it's brutal out there always has been you know the history of left field in Yankee Stadium especially this time of year of full on Billy Martin it's done a great great job this year the best job I've ever seen him do with any team anyway when he heard mr. Steinbrenner the boss's remarks up in the press box after the game yesterday Billy early this morning was about to say I'm quitting then I think you thought you knew I quit do I get paid I don't think so that's a big if Winfield now with the only base set for the Yankees in this ball game a base hit to left field that is the [Applause] the snow jump Michael sent him home and a little bit of a discussion heated one between innings between Martin and Michael our cameras captured for you how can the boss mr. Steinbrenner put aside the Dave Winfield who has driven in a hundred runs four consecutive years for this ballclub you've got to go back to Yogi and Joe DiMaggio four guys have done it before that I don't understand that I know I understand it because they understand Steinbrenner he's an emotional a volatile man given to impulsive words and actions that's item one he throws a knuckleball to Winfield and turns him in that's item two I don't agree with him overall on David I think David is a super athlete 1 & 2 pitch Don Alexander looking at an easy inning Mosby waves baloff he's got it 3 up 3 down now for the Yankees in the sixth after 6th with our guest Howard Cosell up in the booth and we appreciate you stopping by Toronto still leads at six to nothing France politics starts it off with the Jays and Howard they talked about the lack of experience the pressure how the Blue Jays would crack when they got to New York City I think it's gone the other way of course it has and when you say they talked about you're referring to American sports right as I did a piece for the Canadian Broadcasting Company predicting Toronto would win the pennant I had predicted it before the starless season and as you call that pitch I will remind the people in Canada that what is written in the American papers and the sports pages couldn't be less important and is usually vastly inaccurate you've got the team and you should enjoy this is a fine all-around baseball team now they are enjoying it not just Toronto but an entire country it's been caught up in the enthusiasm Blue Jays drive to the American League Eastern Division championship final mix taking it it is three balls and a strike too great to see a TK Howard I still think there could be a penetration the Yankees are still under 19 games to left for the Blue Jays and some tough games to come in September and they're coming up with nagging injuries they're in a very good spot right now there's maahox taking this Nike team has a chance to come back and put another 1012 game win streak on the board I've got to play seven more games against Baltimore and they shut out Earl Weaver up till now and it's not going to continue this pennant race is fini goodbye the man who sells it like it is you heard it right here boy I'll tell that attorney has been getting out all over us Jack's was at we Giants [Laughter] nice our doing that Club yep laughing all the way to the bank go television show years ago when I was doing that I brought you on as a cheese salesman that's right when I retired from baseball one final shot you made me what I am Thanks going good to see you again all right George Val got a base hit last night and an RBI here today to finally shake a prolonged slump that has plagued since Comiskey Park when he almost tore that old facility apart against the Chicago White Sox think about the Bluejays is what a guy like Belle slump something like Mosby or barfi good or both in this case picks it up for Toronto the strength gets distributed around this lineup you made it happen you can see George Bal experiences the Sun and the shadows in Yankee Stadium 54 six nine nine Yankee Stadium today tenants through the four games has gone one almost 215 pounds record for any four-game series interest that high here they saw before Bell hit that ball he asked for the baseball under these conditions looked perfectly black you can't pick up the spin see changing speeds but he hits it hard the third-base a short hop Pagliarulo I'll tell you they are playing tentative to say the least as he got back on his heel and he's an outstanding feeling third baseman keep talking about his home runs now there's some debris on the field and right field I'll hold up the game Tony yeah when Howard Cosell came on the air I was leaning over talking to Jim Clancy and I said the clients go cells on our telecast now and right away what's he saying what's he said so I told him eventually what he had said and of course it went down the bench like wildfire and told him how Cassell said the pennant race is over with I hope they don't tell the guys down the bench not to believe him because he is very stimulating and was ferreted out a lot of stories but at times deals a little hyperbole he sure dreams not interest you know he could be right he really could I I tend to feel that while the Yankees will not all completely they have at least not broke on their backs to the big dent in them here in New York you know the thing about it he could be right but the other thing about he could also be wrong all you got to do is look at the Yankees and how many runs they put on the board the last couple of months and leading the league in runs scoring I'm not saying this game even if the Blue Jays witness to go four and a half the appeal goes down the first base Dan Morrison boy takes one little mini losing streak four or five games which is unlikely the way the Blue Jays are playing and a four or five game winning strike by the eggs which they've done many times this year it's a race again a reason as it is stroked into what's it appeal by Johnson here comes the seventh run home now that touchdown has been converted on explores clean deep American media doesn't have of course is a book and history on the Blue Jays they know about the Yankee history tradition of winning and that's why it's so tough for a lot of them to accept that this team can be for real let me crack of the fall stretch but they have one too many breaking balls and cliff Johnson was looking for it served at the center field cliff Johnson's got three Harvey eyes in his ballgame he came in to pinch-hit in the third and now Bill mob boquete will come out to talk to boardy Billy's not going out he's tired of making that trip he's worn out the last couple of days was it last year or the year before the egg he's had about six or seven different pitching coaches to show what happens in the front office year and sometimes a lack of continuity flight King has done a job so Billy doesn't even come out the left hand his signal rod scurry will make his first appearance for the Yankees and in the American League that's a decent time to bring him in to get his feet wet and no pressure situation steams already down seven I think so now under these conditions Billy mark on the cap will get to see that the new man could do is board II he pitched really decently until the city a little trouble here getting up the run Paul which is probably in first pitch his debut pinstripes with the Yankees of New York you go back to 1982 when he was in 76 games for Chuck Tanner's pirates in the area of 1.74 picked up 14 saves truck out 9500 three innings that year before he can get in trouble he starts bouncing that curveball al Oliver was asked to sum up Rod scurry some of the writers and media people around last night when the anchors got in yesterday he said when his curveball is right a left-hander can't not hit him and I've seen him when he's had those days he's got advantage to that starting were there any width these Toronto hitters certainly have not seen him Ernie see if he's up there bunting again he skirt around about the last time this program protected by copyright Eddie used without permission is prohibited if they're looking tally Yarilo a third sneaking up a little bit for a possible bun he's had a know for three days so far 13 bluej hits a baker's dozen on the board for the seven ones that naval Toronto to leave New York seven nothing at the stage his half Alyssa this spot the sixth spot in the ninth spot that swords the only two slots that are hitless for the Blue Jays in this game scurry study him on up with a 1-1 count retired that game and competitive Ernie with looking forward to that day of rest along with a lot of Blue Jays with our minor nagging injuries tomorrow in Boston he'll fly out tonight after the game outside it is to him or at this point the two catchers who would be eligible seven nothing Toronto for postseason play again if the Blue Jays get in would be wet and Jeff Haren the kosher would not be but you tell me so well it's a small possibility he's ailing fort buck Martinez said he told the doctor looked at I was 29 28 years old I might have a chance for more Championship Series I want this one let's get the fastest rehab program we can let's go with the men of hope and see what happens to the cast is off and Buck is working on the corner free into that path pulled over any wet bad day baseball against guys like Koufax and Drysdale a World Series time and some other hard throwers you know what Ernie's coming through with a left hand with a curveball like this you cannot pick it up a breaking ball a hanger becomes a big pitch the ball comes out of the Sun you lose it and when it comes back in the shade your eyes can't refocus you can't pick it up pick it away with a lot of bad pitches new pitcher likely clarifying some of the signals from catcher Ron hassey yep down down on second base tre they may relay something it's not necessarily the pitch curveball fastball they can relay location so if the catcher sets up inside in this situation it's not going to be a breaking ball cos you um call for an inside breaking ball the left-hand hitter if you're left-handed pitcher Wow Oh Stewie day visa passively against a left-handed hitter now face a couple of white hands quickly Chand then Jesse Barfield one out of the Blue Jays seventh-inning fastball right on the high side half early swings right on through Leach has had a pretty good day to base hit the third part of that big sex rod uprising and a single two signals actually second and third and looking down a bar field here who's on deck next the thing about this park - if you were a guest center and I don't advise any kid guessing you should look for the fast belong to you we're guessing one of the guess it makes it more difficult is if you guess curveball you can't find the fastball it's in your ear boy it's tough yeah you got to see that go all the way if you can can out under these conditions what's like scurry is going to help this team elbow of no real value to them today unless they could turn things around offensively there the dimensions the short porch 310 out and right 312 down the line in a corner in left field here and death valley center field much better than they used to be but still for 10 biggest part of the ballpark between 379 for tennis 411 you get the pace set off yes you did coming home with rod number eight Blue Jays with a Pete muffin lead over the Yankees [Applause] Disney is a philan who should have been here all year long he is contributing in September and especially today it's a big numbers up in Syracuse brief before today with a run batted in now his first RBI back with the Blue Jays in 85 so tonight will tell of the James Webb mescal four-and-a-half up there could be quite a party three weeks of today in Toronto when the season officially ends or if it gets clinched suited map these can still be tough but the head-on confrontations will be down to those three games in Toronto and of all things hold equally a three-game sweep by the Yankees with the Jays given a four and a half game lead now would not be enough to turn things around that's what happens between now and three-game series well as Howard said the series with Baltimore I think is vital for the Yankees hopes Blue Jays don't have the Orioles unless an expert makeup game is required as leach at first base Johnson ahead of its second with one out and into Barfield taking it to otters the cow the Jays with 14 hits on the board centers day now he's throwing the breaking balls to the degree pitches have been breaking balls to bar field he may have thrown one to leach but I'm not sure he threw him fastball it's one that gets filed off on the right side that he will just mercilessly throwing breaking balls till he got way behind on both whip and leach each a fastball he got an RBI base set feel two to three on the day and battled in single a double makes it to make it three and two Darth or it's hitting next will Bobby Cox start the two runners three and two one out he has most of the season even though Barfield strikes out a world of speed there with Johnson at second base however Heathcliff Danziger to the split one he's done some clever things on those basins holden now goes barfi to a couple of strikeouts for scurry to gone Blue Jays gone towards the hitter very unenthusiastic seventh-inning stretch here in New York a few minutes ago coming up I don't think they're gonna get too excited now they could put clap on that scoreboard all they want but say seat soothe it Beechum shortstop whoa why's the force just gets lee-char most beautified however the Bluejays come up with two more runs in the top half of the seventh in hand taken eight laughingly the seventh-inning stretch here sunny but cloudy day for Yankee fans in New York City this is the bats Blue Jays baseball er a has been pushed gradually down he had a good July also I think maybe he's really walked two or three questionable calls gave him a total of five Ron hassey the Yankee catcher hit that towering shot on Thursday night that's been his biggest contribution so far in this series but good enough for a Yankee first game when they have struggled ever since he walked in the fourth inning this afternoon he's hopeful one I see Pasquale and Pagliarulo scheduled for New York seventh inning was that a left-handed hitters stance sure Yankee Stadium opened up to get the barrel of the bat out take advantage of that short fortune right Mattingly doesn't do it once in a while he'll stride and open up Mele rule Pasqua a little bit that way fouled out of play one ball and two strikes to a sea Doyle knows the way that pitched in this ballpark he just keep running that fastball away to left-handers so as hard as he can't keep it outside ads make him hit the fly balls to Center and left well he's done a job on a great hitter and Mattingly got him at the left field three times and his ballgame already as he stays alive 1 & 2 one thing the Blue Jays have going for them but he's nagging little injuries we mentioned the days off to next week tomorrow and Thursday Yankees only have one left on the entire season they lose one tomorrow with a makeup game here with Cleveland they have one a week from Monday and that's it for them till it's over I'm added another knuckleball ski 1 to Winfield earlier for the game he toyed with that throwing about 40% knuckle balls in Toronto Widmar and Bobby Cox calm and contempt of what they've seen so far books that the Senate feel to stop there just the second base set off Doyle Alexander Winfield had the other in the fourth that so where's Willie Horton ouch running fastball and he goes out and gets still the got let him pull the ball Willie Horton the Geico first base is Billy Martin's tranquility coach [Applause] [Music] we can tranquilize you in a hurry will hurt now tranquilize Billy left side it's well out of play Willie Horton referred they did again today news clipping I saw to Billy Martin a genius and Billy does have a great instinct between the white lines this regard what he does Hough the feel if you can lunch not marshmallow salesman's or whatever else boy he really has a feel for the game and pick up steals knows when to pitch shot usually his track record proves it wherever his bet he's won here several times and his go so that you could question his moves with the pitching staff but he knows he hasn't got the greatest staff in the world he is milk them I think that's the word very very well all right he did a good job at Texas bill the franchise Minnesota we still talking about him they're finally rejuvenating the franchise there they were still that a lot of people wouldn't come back with a let Billy go you know what you get when you get Billy we may not like a lot of things he does but to have a chance to be a contender when he's at the range usually this for a couple years events at the twins that is outside one and two year ago this time they were going down to the final few days of the season there and that's a weird Western Division race out of it this time they've slept the last couple of months that's the story here what I hit pray that is for the Blue Jays [Applause] - - to pass one over one and a watt met sex Montreal to Mets training my half in the East Cardinals with st. Louis Chicago won a piece in the seventh so if the Mets win and the Cardinals don't get past the Cubs they'll flip around the other way the open bow on top by half again Davey Johnson for the Mets has that great security blanket every five days he runs Dwight Gooden out there let us stop and he's got dialing an exceptional year a thought about light inside on it caught the corner to play good pitch by Ellington that was a knuckleballer changeup took something out but a cool head was a changeup that Doyle Alexander got in a bad spot up and in with that little screwball action pass quad jumped away from the plate that came back where so says Mark Johnson our plant umpire Mike Pagliarulo the third baseman teto forty day thus far popped up struck out forget we'll be with you from Boston Fenway Park Wednesday 7:30 the Jays short series against the Red Sox completes this very important road trip in Vicente lotto back home face the Milwaukee Brewers the Yankees contained with Baltimore the Jays have got Pullman home with Milwaukee and the Brewers can be a tough team despite their low station in life in the American League East rivals Pagliarulo it is strike two one and two to him now one out runner first base is Hasse maybe a lot of collars in this ballgame that even for the Yankees on a first look for three is opal fourth of Alexander keeps showing like this or that shadow he's still in the Sun walkins out of the Sun into the shade look out [Music] Michael being very careful now to what happened earlier what Michael Michael didn't have anything to do with that Pasi after he round in the back the whoops guidance center fears got a pretty good eye when we were down by eight runs and I can't afford to get thrown out in third like Mattingly did at home you made that decision I believe by himself Mike overnight both hands outstretched the palms showing gave a little clue that he done the wrong thing he knew it giggy's drew six excuse me Don have stranded for you Jays have stranded seven through seven it could've been a lot worse as far as the Yanks are concerned as Dennis lap right now and Gary Laval the leftover Lavelle puts so well for three innings setting up Tom Henke to try on eight things on Friday night saw the only left-handed hitter that Billy Martin has on his bench Scott Bradley will pinch-hit he's got a raft of right-handers he's also got two switch hitters butch winegar and keeps snug so Bradley will hit right now or Hodler the young second baseman that mean we'll see Willie Randolph little later on I doubt it I don't think you'll take a chance in this kind of ball games with his pull leg muscles but they're long and still use wonbin iake Smithson infielder Bradlee play about seven different positions for in fact he's also caught long will the in Philadelphia position at Columbus C at 301 with just four home runs 27 RBIs in 163 at-bats Mike take it one on one a fax extols New Jersey view the Incans live yes some have homes live here all year long across the George Washington Bridge is passing its second the shadows still a problem here for the hitters sucking them out at this stage of the afternoon for 37 in New York Bradley at 84 led Columbus in that league to play league 335 last season puts the back - never had a big homerun year - my legs ate was his tops Asheville at 83 valuable utility guys play all over for you fill in give you some bench strength 250,000 taking in the for games here in American League record probably project a hundred and twenty thousand who sold for the final three games in Toronto got to be in the area of forty thousand I understand that only the bleacher seats are left for that series and I for many of those what a great change again Alexander with that great motion as Bradley way thud he's SWAT and the ball is still looked like four feet out in front of home plate great extension right on through it Alexander doing a job on the best offensive machine in baseball Bar None the Cardinals score run they don't have a power especially with Jackie Clarke Connor this Yankee team as they've got more speed this ballclub has been averaging all year long about 5 and 3/4 of a 1 per game we visit some between four and five but the one differential is the thing that people are talking about now one scored plus runs given up run differential is not that big not any bigger than the eighth the Blue Jays Oh because they give up so many run for this pitching staff Bobby Meacham they have at the cap to it all and too hard for the inking sterling second base my gorilla over first strikeout of baddies the first one dolls had since way back in the second he struck out Pascal and Pagliarulo [Applause] totally poor don't wanna meet you we'll be correct that he struck my past for this city so we track that it's got to go sitting for that he had two in the second can't even say that limit howard was here he gets out of the Jackson in the booth even a said see I told you so the inaccurate journalism sat on the air once he was once asked by a woman that her but her son he's asking how much wanted to get into broadcasting what does he have to do he says he has to be a three-letter man in college and be a guttural illiterate but Howard like to you I know that should have bought a car when I would bring water here is really Iacocca the action is after day is he going to run for the presidency United States loudly Wow but either one but I wasn't talking about Iacocca three to two out he'll be on the move now I'd have to fend off Peter Ueberroth bases-loaded powered probably toll on coke you have electric if you let power the same I thought he did already Billy back I don't know Billy was off the bench for what he said [Applause] [Music] Bobby Cox won't even make a trip out there's not a whole lot Bobby's made this comedy can save Garland's and [Music] because you can't give many pitching advice he's so smart ball one Henderson with a base on balls stolen base rounded out hop to the first baseman 85 walks fourth in the American League this is out of play one ball and one strike to Henderson baserunners today in a fourth inning george steinbrenner not having the sharing of Anderson with two strikes to allow wanted to Tony you're pretty good with rumors culture just showed me one here is a rumor that the press box the Joe Niekro has just been acquired from Houston interesting we pick up another big salary rumors around here Ben Ben that fills in to go manage Atlanta the Ted Turner and Joe's gonna come along with him is that squelch that deal the press box Anderson stays alive Carl had Ricky bailing out and he came from the side of that fastball on the one in two-count [Applause] [Music] still tied and Wrigley Cardinals in Chicago's seventh inning now and the Mets have beat Montreal 6 to 2 so for their dad either ladies - - Anderson some feel that Rickey Henderson when he wants to plant plays hard is the best player of the game and you can make a good argument from figure driving in runs he's got over 20 home runs great on base percentage he chases the ball down in the outfield like nobody else can be erratic moving the new position centerfield bullets bullets at second base nice play again the Ekans leave the bases loaded for the second time today and after seven complete that remains eight nothing blue jays thinning but an desmos bein muddle dicks for the Blue Jays Tony again leads off at any dawn binya has come on to play for at second base all he did was hit 330 minor league this season before being brought up hot scurry pitched himself out of a little Jam he came on to become the fourth Yankee pitcher of the game in the seventh inning he offers ball one to Tony Fernandez I got his base hit the third one for 4:00 in the afternoon hi - it off you can see how tough it is Hasse had a fastball it looked like he didn't pick it up very well from the the pitchers in the shade now along with a catcher you still got a very bright background behind five of all three or the stadium is really thinned out Tony mm-hmm diehards here thousand but I think alike we're out of almost 55 turned up earlier 50 4699 four pitches takes fernandez down to first base even the cheap seats at Love Field bleachers fans are going to get a suntan out there anymore Tony even talking I laughter how tough it is for the hitter to see his pitches coming out of that sunlight Bernie Witt came over I know he's taking the caller today but he says I can't believe how tough it is up there I can't see the ball tell Ernie for me he should have tried at World Series time Franco Henry Aaron came in here 57 58 frank robinson and vada Pinson great hitters couple of guys in the Hall of Fame was Cincinnati woman four to five and they'd get down to second base and that was a rarity what they did and they say you guys got to be kidding us and he put a lot more day baseball somebody's been seeing the ball know those Jays and 14 hits yeah we see where a lot of those lot of those were earlier a lot of that up to the third inning all in the seventh there was an error walk couple singles it gets to be awful at this time of the year and the string of the year which helps their pitching staff along with his big ballpark the waves at it alpacas ball two ed Henry down there through bass [Applause] the plate last night two and one muevete all's be through the pits the blue jay a thinning three hour mark here in New York this afternoon woojae's established a franchise record with a 90th win last night 91 this afternoon so game over 500 the rest of the way they'll reach the century mark in victory I've been out of the strike zone but no matter Mosby's down on strikes that is the third reported by relief pitcher watts curry when you figure that there's Jim Acker o begins to throw for the Blue Jays he unseat a whole lot of action over the last month and you get when you figure that hitters got to react within two fifths of a second decide where the ball is what it is should I sway or not and then you take away I know how much timely that 2/5 of a second because of this background that's scary okay anybody would say the Macho blower the ball being propelled at you high 80s and a curveball aside from that now I don't know if some of the players have put on that I black beneath their eyes Molly's got a lot now Hawaiian's curry high breaking ball had overthrown [Applause] he throws a curveball very hard and look at how close that is to rats he picked it up at the end duck straight down went right over the top of his helmet and it react very quickly he fastens her down just in case the real trouble a couple of innings ago with a sunshine around a pasta money lookout other one now those are just too hard curveball dude one and that's saying that there's never been a knock-down pitch thrown with a breaking ball I don't like little tapper new second baseman hustles gets why you get the other end of the double play bonia just gets the out at second base she did a nice job getting lead runner it'd be a little bit nervous in front of what started out to be 54,000 plus drafts only 35 or 40 now that on a ground ball the big leagues and got it out with it and assessed each missing out on Mullenix is George Bell two hits today outside too scurry has thrown a lot of breaking balls is his practice having trouble controlling behind the runner excuse me down he's behind you Jays getting ready to pad their lead to four and a half in the east an off-day and then up to Boston for a couple nights where they go on to Boston joy a day off and settle in against the Red Sox watch Monday Night Football Sylas Howard that's right Howard Cosell we had them on Sunday afternoon baseball turn to the Bell the enthusiasm has gone completely out of the shaky stadium crowd caught a song way about three innings ago and if you are a Blue Jays fan here with this kind of lead in the pennant race you better not let the people know it because they can be rough all say they can you try four to one score than another plane maybe for third place against one guy walking out of the ballpark with the Blue Jay have just got punched is for having the hat on last night they were that frustrated here didn't forgive an incident in the subway where there's a knife pull but in the general area make a little uncomfortable so he's changing tour directors mr. culture Fran let him onto the subway that day for the last time fouled off by Bell Kansas City's losing Oakland for you just soft flash down the board city with won a three-game lead now over the California Angels in the West him so they'd enjoy that division around heavenly Halden pray they did the safety last year remember when they got the California Angels and Howser started three of four rookie pitchers and a one three or four strikes out to end the js8 thinning so I got in before the mister straight and it's eight thousand Blue Jays we head for the bottom of the eighth the single bass go Jays baseball on CTV slappers [Applause] going over some of the errors you might have made over the years he told him that Doyle Alexander certainly is one of the biggest mistakes here I had giving up on him side to that letting Reggie Jackson get away another big word there but others I tell you one of the biggest mistakes he ever made was letting Pat Gillick get away that's where it all began for this Toronto team building of the Blue Jays one of the nicest things ever happened to Pat Gillick was getting away the Yankee fans found something to cheer about they surveyed a nice play rookie one ball one strike all four three today Alexander has been brilliant again three little base set single home whoops look out okay good rookies with second base yup look like a changeup that Griffey swung at and kind of helped back a little bit hit all of us with one hand he was out in front but he's a strong guy change up a little up in the strike zone II they did a bad fish they finally connect to base in this ballgame aqua Paul came bought a couple of feet at best maybe a from being in the seats right in the area where roger maris at 61 crazy styling radically really that's a good trivia question you remember the guys name roger maris 61st home run there's sound Valente Mattingly for president he's much more bang to go right now Chris base could be a hit most be in centerfield tracks this with that here's Griffey with the tag Mosby we'll send them back you've seemed while Alexander at his best against last season's leading hitter he is prevented Mattingly from hitting the ball to the right side of second base all day long three ball fly balls to left field and that's the reason why running fastball low and away it's this one the center field a big part of the park this guy said this before bisects the lineup before he goes out there looks at the park uses it as he has on Mattingly checks the wind knows who he should pitch around in a tough situation closing in on his third fourth victory Toni you notices but never the lastest or keep that 15 starts sorry Chevy you notice what Doyle Alexander said on the opening of our show today all he's going to do against Matt Lee Mattingly is key ball on the outside of the plate and that's what he's done very effectively it has worked for every pitcher that's ever come in the park that's had the control that a dialogue Xander's hat or a whitey Ford or Jim Palmer a catfish hunter they've got to be able to do it this guy's done it again and he's done it start after start over the last two months Bloomfield this is what a set of [Music] [Music] this is how the Bronx cheer expression came about we're in the Bronx and it is the Raisa that outcomes he cuts fastball out over the plate Woodfield goes out and gets who likes to get those irons out number 101 per day sending gruffy home he's got a string of left-handers Hasse past buck Pagliarulo now so is he going to go to Laval what's that way and so a lot of pitches and he will had those walks thrown in he's walked one two three four five so that's a lot of pitches about 120 duck culture figures that is enough for one day Fedora Alexander will turn things over to Gary LaValle now as Alexander seems assured of a victory here this afternoon this park was made for a guy like Alexander now you look at the history of the Yankees from Joe page through Sparky Lyle Louie Royal Marshall bridges Righetti now nerfed handed pitchers of relief whitey Ford starting kid restarting here but especially relievers keep the ball to the right-field seats combiner about the championship series if it is in Toronto mail orders only will be accepted they can't be postmarked before September the 16th that is tomorrow know what to do it is to mail a man hope that yours gets selected for the bleacher seats season ticket-holders and have the other seats along with other needs for Major League Baseball so the straighter right-handed pitcher pinch hitters will probably start off the bench of Billy Martin but you don't mind that either because the left-hander negates the left-handed hitter even though he's a good one a little bit candidate to the short porch as Alexander did to lose Billy to Mattingly make him it at the big part of the park or strike him out and the right-hander Jody wears his plaque one of the monuments and plaques out there a couple of Pope's who spoke here and there 64 I believe late Alstom power8 Thurman Munson there's the monument Miller Huggins babe is there to the right behind that pole the Iron Horse over 2,100 consecutive games he's got a monument there Edward barrows is out there one of the string of great general managers the first George Weiss to follow in others here comes LaValle and they put the right-handed pinch hitters up they'll head for the big part of the ballpark and he did some good work at Friday the 13th unlucky for Negro work that is fine - Gary LaValle came in for Jim Clancy worked three good innings and turned the ball over to Tom Henke and he slammed the door shut on New York now Billy's got people like Don Baylor he can send up Willie Randolph his leg is okay Robertsons sample kados a defensive player a speedos their catcher but he already in a ball game he's got bail bear up [Music] he's got some moves he could make but they have a long way to go to get back into this can ascend up Andre Robertson first pinch-hitter trying to get a base Center to walk and keep something going good per Hasse to get you I'm nice in the baler to a couple guys get out robertson a starter in last night's game kid whose career they thought was over a late-night car accident girl seriously injured took him a long time to come back the young shortstop at one time the bad left knee brace off Rick's board - swags robertson hitting at 362 ninety-four of bats don't have a whole lot of power to overrun 16 RBIs who post Alexander all right for him thought he should have had that Doyle thought to have a lot of pitches so dirty wet just held it right there for Mark Johnson so the pinch-hitter Roberts it's the second oddity he's in the bed let's go [Music] a squirrel will not hit though Don Baylor and take his spot get a good chance for that centerfield camera shocked to see the tail on the fastball running away from the right here [Music] Baylor has we told you early are not happy with his platoon arrangement a squad [Applause] recall was the third time Billy was fired he said he'd never play for him again and Billy came back I said it's all water over the dam Baylor's had some big ears the mage legs oh geez the dams opening up again hah pewter banner it's either he just been just brought in America career record yeah Ron hunts got the major-league rocket at national record his bruises still had to clear it up they in our last season at 27 home runs there's Dale Berra in the on-deck circle they they're all set 89 last year strike two missing barriers he wants to be swirly in Marvin's doghouse not figuring on Yankee plans now part of it too Dale was under such extreme pressure they've gone over in Pittsburgh look out for Baylor his off the law for jobs bow is going to score the second Yankee that's a whole brand almost any other Park ironically that's the ball that probably we've got a bit of home run in Fenway Park there's too much of a line driver would hit the wall and might have only blues single you don't know but in his hit such a shot [Applause] and it's about four hundred and eight or nine feet away about foot shy of going out it's good for them [Applause] first yogi in the doghouse and then out the door good favor it is 2:22 with a single home I would think that yogi with all his friends in baseball was somehow person string garrulous seems to get bail out of here and with another team next year giving another chance see if he can revive his career Meredydd hit was against the Blue Jays here at Yankee Stadium Johnson and ur soy Tony his five hits four strikeouts one Bob we made it Betina Dale's father was right it ain't over till it's over [Applause] long ways to go and so little games cases stately used to say chasing that little white rat her out white rat going up the battle bearer for base hit right now RB as did sneak through this is the park where yogi in left field in these kinds of conditions with the Sun and left the bow had so much problem earlier he missed the ball coming into the world surgery we're trying for a shoestring catch bounced off his hand runner to start they asked him after the game what happened and he said that gets late early out there which was a pretty graphic way of saying that the shadows and the Sun gave some problems Amba Nia the second and strike one too well with a couple of outs struggling a bit to get out of this eighth inning inside one on one to base it by Griffey bill drove a moment came LaValle got a strikeout now giving up double the Dale barrel see Don Baylor that'll take them out of the inning Yankee strike for three days topped by five and Rick Lee on Espino is the catcher now Laura Berry has gone to Yale for face Mike Armstrong the guy you might recall the year to go the egg he's got about the Kansas City area there is the new defensive alignment Baraboo Nia and a speed on Armstrong the new players in the ball game for Billy Martin and defend shitty nerd strongest side armer had some success setting up Quisenberry for a year or so with the Kansas City Royals a side armer they're still having fun yeah got the chorus line going here an Armstrong where they got him I believe mr. Steinberg the boss filed a complaint that he was given damaged goods they got him I think he was put on the disabled is he can be tough on right-handed hitters side are seeking boring fastball right indium in a sweeping curveball got one right here look Johnson he has had a good day cliff early let's say he pull out of reach but he helped contribute the two RBI single pinch-hitting for Halle ver and the third drove another one in the seventh got a good day we got you looking for the three RBIs still looking for his first extra-base hit the Blue Jays this year Gibbons against the Yankee's tomorrow here in New York and a makeup game solely our boss to be the holy Armstrong seventh appearance the air he's only fits six and 2/3 innings Johnson sends a file jokowi pitching for the Yankees tomorrow afternoon and Jamie Easterlin scheduled for the Indians Corrales will bring a left-handed pitcher out of the Woodworks because of the Yankee Stadium easterlies put more often than that most often out of the bullpen for Blue Jays fan you'd be hoping the rotations would pop up Tom Waddell you can pray effectively I got the fishnets at work in that beta better let the net do the job there it's a long drop we should miss judge thing scurry they bought the Yankee pitcher with two names about by here for Milwaukee boy said Armstrong has not appeared for quite a while Johnson's in a chance of the right for the way back good catch on the run by Winfield in there now he's got center fielders speed and a great right fielders drawing out he's having fun he's not letting things around and bother him he's just a super athlete and anybody that knocks this guy or Mattingly is goofy because he plays hard all the time still you base you're upset the pivot man in a double play the only mistake I think he made on was when he signed the Yankee contract his agency looking Argo the gram glamor endorsements he would have assured himself a spot in the Hall of Fame he may still make it but hitting in this ballpark he's lost a lot of home runs if you know chosen it exhibition Stadium were Atlanta or Wrigley Field almost any other ballpark it's the county guy comes with 40 home runs on the board a year for you he committed to of these silent but a 10-year contract a biggie yeah made Yankee Stadium his home for a career 10 a contract dollar sighs you use for pin money huh no the guy who just left does mr. Cosell [Applause] another pitcher warming up from Billy Martin in the bullpen another left-hander does go through them does b-52 Sanford oon second strike to the puddle dirty whip you think he learned that kind of delivery from the quiz he's right down there isn't he yep changeup sinker ball something Tom Henke does pretty well too is he goes down with it but usually out of to strike town he paralyzes you hate if you're right-handed hitter when he comes from the side about 90 miles an hour little delay cause them out nerd he just says I better walk away before I you read his lips aside from a couple of other things Ernie just said are you kidding me excuse me sir you may have made an error he can't believe it the speedo holds the ball right there and Ernie just says drops the bat if you're gonna take it out of my hands might as well leave it here for you and you swing it on o45 day for width it's the gear I'm ready to go and the last gasp Yankees most of the number nine hitter meets him up in Henderson and grippier Schedule C Arnie's got to be careful there's Jim dissent just shades the young left-hander throwing for the Yankees Bernie's got to be careful they're still getting left and he doesn't anything take it away from his pitcher too I'm strong at three so the Bluejays taking his final warmup pitches gotta start thinking of the players of the game board II did a good job in relief it's top of the Yankee song yeah you can't really talk about their hitting that much on the wind fields got two base hits and a single if he's got a double run scored on field made that great catch to tell Bob all my blows for Winfield yours is okay yeah I'll go with that forty pitched well but the game was on a hand it's easy to pitch that way sometimes or somebody Luke Jays but I think Doyle on exam so totally deserves it out there I've been the best pitcher on this staff for the last three years and that is not a knock of Dave Stieb or anybody else he is Alexander just been a real gem say the least the numbers certainly support that terms of wins and losses pitching the way he has down the stretch not just this game the last outing the last five or six outings or more at room oh we had a minute ago as some food Joe Niekro as good job by Doug hunter getting the story on the air guys incredibly he doesn't miss a thing the guy that he saw the bullpen is going to Houston tonight ago don't you put that ear to the railroad track Courtney Pro couple huh well the same will go to Houston and the player to be named later tella though he's just Billy apparently didn't get the word because he was warming touchet's up the last inning is it a good home pack one ball two strikes about his team to be beaten for the curveball something that he worked at you know we really haven't seen all year love consistently one of the valves best pitches he had a great Snyder he throws it but it's been it's bothered his elbow off and on Meacham brought a room out there and set a fee of all this with that one away another one of those 400 foot fly balls boy I see some saw some great hitters right-handed our Gil mcdougal moose cow and Ellie Howard hit the balls out there for 34 40 left-center dead center field it was 461 Clete Boyer was an eighth place center here before the designated hitter first year out here he went down to Atlanta hit 25 home runs put forth behind Henry Aaron I mean he hit 15 balls a year that went 400 feet plus and they'd say I got it yeah sit down pal Rickey Henderson get this today it's one of the reasons last year when Winfield before last we trained some time and it cut down my swing hit for average because I even I can't hit a whole lot out of here and he is strong and the end of that going to the last day of Maddie - Anna Rickey Henderson the facts - looking pretty calm Takata with the five rondalee nobody on one out [Music] spike - Ricky - and what did we just see the manager of the year the American League sitting down there well I didn't get a lot of votes I don't know who L and to restructure the bullpen [Applause] you figure that Connell and well haven't contributed like they thought it's an understatement bill Cottle situation is further no story here half the you know jugglers bullpen a cure was so good for three months Lam bring up hanky to you talked about what Billy's done with the Yankees pitching staff Widmar have done with this Toronto pitch each day walked him on a 3-2 pitch when I walked in threesome for the second target Billy Bach made the statement of Rickey Henderson he may be right that he is the greatest leadoff hitter ever to play this game and the Mickey Mantle who does some television work here and hall-of-famer said yeah he's the best I've ever seen I mean a guy like the rock man Eddie Yost and can hundred-fifty walks here hit 20 home runs and he didn't still a hundred basis which Ricky Henderson's done three times when you figure it's only been done twice in history of the major leagues 100 bases by two different people he's right down three times and since he's amazing and repeat makes a tight for ball one for Niekro a nine-game winner this season loser 12 with Houston on his way to New York to join brother Phil needs to be a family occasion Phil gets number 300 now the further said that when Henderson Madeline Lubner one two three they're the best one two three combination ever wrong the cardiac kids are at the bullpen five o'clock Thunder here in New York white towel bags being waved by [Applause] body packs out they'll make a change fastclaw bob belt high inside half of the plate where you do not want to throw at a left-handed hitter then even a little bit of power in the Yankee Stadium the forest Bobby to use another pitcher 14:42 of the day after all this this team I'll tell you the Yankees scary and Spyder what Howard Cosell says and he could be absolutely correct the edge absolutely in favor of the Blue Jays now looks like they could not be caught don't count on it here comes Hickey seeing this fan back before Wow what do you strike that 4 to 6 out of here the other night Friday as well blast of the Pops [Applause] [Music] with all the Subway Series talk has been going around here people have been writing about the deal matchup if there's a Subway Series good vs Mattingly they're gonna have to make a big comeback to have that happen like warm in that ago big inning here a ninth the Jays looking at a two-game swing their four and a half up if they win only 2013 there's a blue jay fan and dad says whoops pull it down Fausto Petey eager to there are a lot of wound no that's gone in most places but I hear he got Mattingly on the fist just a little bit he really didn't get on the sweet spot I was a little up near the trademark her handle two down he loves the challenge of a good basketball this is a good fastball pitcher [Music] to say the least move it up while running away just a little better he kind of didn't get a love and it still drove it a long way 375 380 if he drops down to the sign on wind field if he gets ahead Dave can say goodnight see later folks so far there's been nothing wrong with Winfield back sit away from him for ball one off-speed pitch ball first puts the limp in [Applause] taking three of four in New York and going to a four and a half game lead in the East what 19 to play after this going completely by that pics to tutor Olive Winfield sitting on the heater you know when you get to this stage the schedule becomes so important not just who you play but the schedules run it out and there is not time unless there's a big wedding Street for the Yankees to get back in it the steam is due to fuel rocket 12 the 1961 they almost maxed out sweet New York the Yankees and one coming in today 29 of the last 38 ballgame that's a streak like Detroit started the season with last year thirty five and five close to almost as good through another four five he's told one fastball in three four phones and they succeeded in confusing a darn good headache sippy drops down to the side and goes with that heat so on -
