5/1/91: Nolan Ryan's 7th No-Hitter

they said on the first of made a call to Jimmy key he has any wins at his last nine starts nolan Ryan's on the mound for Texas and he rewrites the record book every game he plays CTV sports presents love that Blue Jays baseball from Arlington Stadium in Texas it's Game two of this mini series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers hello everybody I'm Fergie over and are you in for a treat tonight a pitching matchup that features the ageless wonder Nolan Ryan who can still throw in the mid-90s with his fastball against it for this of a Jimmy key move from 60 feet 6 inches can still thread a needle with the best of them so it's power against finesse tonight now here's Don Schembri a head Tommy Hutton birdie the Blue Jays begin may having gone 12 and 9 on April that's the same as April of 1990 14 and 14 last year in May I think the gym could be better than that this time well I think so Chevy and what I saw in the month of April I saw a couple of surprises in the starting lineup Marc Whitten the way he's been hitting the ball his 14 RBIs and Devon white a lot of people weren't sure what Devon white to do in that leadoff spot and he has done it all how about the pitcher Mike Timlin he's done the job in the bullpen Wayne Ward I don't know if you could call it a surprise but certainly a big plus Jays getting their first test against the west of Texas series on to Kansas City after this tonight Ryan and the Rangers are set to go at CTV you need a peg Oh bingo you oh it's a gorgeous night here in Arlington Texas situated about midway between Dallas and Fort Worth 79 degrees Fahrenheit low humidity and a nice Pleasant breeze blowing Tommy you know to enjoy it in the spring we come back in July you can add about 25° to this temperature it's nice to look up at that scoreboard the digital degree marking of 79 right now because you and I both well know that back in July when we come back home and there you see it it'll be a triple digits when you look up at the scoreboard but this is a fun atmosphere I've always enjoyed coming to Arlington Stadium it's a nice ballpark it's a good field to play on most of the infielders and outfielders enjoy this infield and the outfield the grass is very cut short and it's also very fast almost like astroturf speaking of fast here comes 44 year-old Nolan Ryan and who still can throw in the 90s rousing ovation from his Texas fan as he takes them out against the Toronto Blue Jays and this little ballpark that grew was a high school stadium kept getting bigger and bigger as the Rangers relationship with the American League progressed but the story of course is Ryan one of the rarities and all a professional sport and one of the great mistakes in Scouting because when he was signed by the New York Mets he was a 10th round draft choice back in 1965 so a lot of people didn't really know what Nolan Ryan was going to be all about he was then dealt to California for Jim Fregosi and one of the worst trades of all time December of 71 Fregosi now the Phillies manager so the lineups for today's game are brought to you by the game genie the videogame enhancer by Comerica Nolan Ryan has owned a lot of hitters he absolutely possesses Devon white oh 1 for 22 his whites record against him lifetime Roberto Alomar hits knacks then Kelly Gruber and Joe Carter in left field john olerude at first base the next two have never seen Nolan Ryan yet Marc Whitten and Glen Allen Hill da Ching the catcher's Greg Myers and the shortstop the switch hitter Manuel Lee and behind Nolan Ryan the defense for the Texas Rangers Jack Daugherty in left field Gary Pettis five-time Gold Glove winner in center Ruben Sierra in right Steve Buechele Jeff Houston on the left side and in for Julio Franco plays second base Rafael Palmeiro at first Mike Stanley will catch in 44 year-old right-hander Nolan Ryan last timeout for Nolan Ryan and eight and a third innings against the Cleveland Indians he threw over 130 pitches there was some question as to whether he would take his turn tonight but they decided after seeing him throw on the side between starts that he was ready and he certainly is and so are we ready to go against white davonne equally adept from either side of the plate hitting 333 having a fantastic season team runs batted in Christ a Potter's way odd but it's file well your define white and you might not know the exact figures that you quoted one for 22 against Nolan Ryan but you know you haven't hit it over the years so he tries to reach base by dropping down a bunch trying to drag one one thing he does remember is I'm sure that the last tip was quite a while ago he's over the last 17 so it wasn't just yesterday he got the hit off Ryan each was the past and prescribed to one and to Ryan in his 25th major-league season his third on the all-time list only Deacon McGuire and Tommy John who saw action in 26 have longer service down on in vol 2 and the other day he said he's going to continue and the perceived future they're two strikeouts over 5,000 came right here against Rickey Henderson who made history of his own the day as you saw earlier and to think there was a time Steve Carlton was ahead of Nolan Ryan didn't get the collar the fans thought he shut up Jim cheetahs calling balls and strikes the count is full so did Nolan that's about the most upset he gets you saw the facial expression he wanted that call but he's such a professional he's in no way going to show up the home plate umpire at this point let's go to Fergie our model to Ranger pitching coach you look back at nolan Ryan's record 15 and 4 with five days rest or more they're going to change what you do with no little line and when you pitch it this has been a tough selling job than Nolan he he fights going with an extra days rest but his body has shown by his record and by his stuff to do better when he has what we call an active rest day and I think he's finally come to accept that and wherever we can we'll give the guy an extra day pitching here to Roberto Alomar with an o1 cow little softer all over second base Franco froze him so quickly to God and Kelly Gruber will try his hand he's third baseman good crowd here at Arlington tonight a Chevy one thing we should look for tonight and Nolan Ryan early in the air he pitched a couple of ball games where it was very cold and the middle finger of his pitching hand right at the tip kind of cracked a little bit you know how the skin gets when you get too cold uh-huh and he's had trouble with that and maybe hasn't thrown quite as many change ups because he uses that finger to put al extra pressure on his changeup so maybe more fast balls and curveballs he might stay away from that change mr. gannets well - - and of J's by losing it five last night Boston beating Minnesota follow the first place through half a game back starting play this evening as they face the West for the first time first month exclusively against Eastern Division team showed yesterday inside back to schita Maplin - that's a pitcher not liable to get from this umpire it appears well so far and again we talked about umpires consistencies so far he's missed twice with it he hasn't gotten a call who follows it back on the three oh this is a good test that inks heavy for the Blue Jays they're on a stretch now starting yesterday 30 games against Western Division ball clubs last year they were 44 and 40 against the West and they're going to be tested here through the month of May that was that pitch that every once in a while people question with Nolan Ryan that wasn't the straight fastball that was the fastball that he gets some sink tune you could see the bottom fall out of it and what I mean by question there were some hitters at times that thought maybe Nolan Ryan was cutting the baseball a little bit he walks Gruber I put in I wouldn't think a picture with his talents would after even consider cutting a baseball that time the fastball just gets away from him and somehow Kelly is able to back away if you're not looking for a pitch at all up in that area with three balls on you Joe Carter up next who sailed hitless last night for just the fourth game this season since safely in 10 of the last 12 that pit down on the way Carey stumbles gets caught and they've got a little rock drop that he say bizarre episode first in second base first Eddie makes the mistake and the Rangers Palmeiro can't hang on to it and he's safe after all at well Kelly saw the ball get by Mike Stanley the Rangers catcher and started to go and then realize that it didn't get by far enough and then got caught in that Twilight Zone so Palmeiro does the correct thing the mistake here is if Franco gets the ball to Palmeiro too late and he really never had a chance to make the catch cleanly while he put the tag on Kelly Gruber that's why I dropped the ball he was preoccupied with getting to the man and forgot about the baseball so Kelly gets away with something and keeps the inning alive for Carter in a 100 count to him pops them straight up back of the bag at second Julio Franco makes the call and mccords the app so much ado about nothing and Ryan gets the job done for the Rangers they're coming to bat in a moment on the bats the Jays baseball the Texas lineups brought to you by the game genie the videogame enhancer by camera guy at features Gary Pettis in centerfield Jack Daugherty and left Rafael Palmeiro the extra cog oak up at first base Blue Jay killer Ruben Sierra with two home runs last night bats cleanup Julio Franco at second the aging as Juan Gonzalez Mike Stanley catches tonight Steve Buechele the third base to shortstop is Jeff Houston against Jimmy key looking for his fifth consecutive victory here's a look at the Blue Jays defense in the outfield from left to right Joe Carter Devon white and Marc Whitten Kelly Gruber Manuel Lee Roberto Alomar john olerude Rodney infield Greg Myers will catch Jimmy key on the mouth Blue Jays pitching coach Galen Cisco Jimmy key is for know why has he been so successful well Jimmy's put his a-game on the field and when he does that he gets his breaking ball over almost at will and specifically when he's behind hitters his changeup has just been excellent and he's spotting his fastball in and out excellently and that's why he's four no he works to Gary Pettis that it's ball one he's looking to equal with Jerry Garvin did member Jerry Garvin the first year Blue Jay when his first five five and all in the first season of 1977 he looks to match that tonight at pitches low he falls behind his hitter two balls and no strikes three and two lifetimes Keys record against the Rangers it took only phrase used by Galen Cisco Jimmy key will need that a game out there gets Nolan Ryan strike one had a static about 50 points higher than minifigure he will throughout the year at 289 still known much more for his range in his blog than his bat twice bounced around from the angel Tigers to free agency and out of Texas - and to Devon white played behind Pettis coming up for the California Angels I thought we might see Brian downing in the leadoff spot downing not in the lineup tonight he's been the designated hitter for the Rangers over the last few weeks Juan Gonzalez the youngster is the D H tonight Gonzalez with a slightly sore hamstring so it was a choice downing or Gonzalez and downing is the one that has to sit tonight but he's available for pinch hitting cuz he's healthy the appeal of first base is denied by the umpire there drew cobal here's a quote by downing supposed to be too hurt to overplay of his game he saw George Foreman fight like a lot of other people he's back at it get a great bat over the years with the angel line Kruger very fine catch for the Blue Jays third baseman to take care of pedals one thing about Gary Pettis he always has had a little more right-handed that time he hits the ball hard the problem with Pettis see that uppercut swing when you have the speed of a Gary Pettis you should swing down on the ball and utilize the speed that's why every year he strikes out over a hundred times and only hits two or three home runs Tommy as you saw Kelly Gruber and when she saw him fall between first and second he is suffering with a bad case of flu tonight he was in on the trainer's table for a couple of hours he's taking all kinds of pills and he's lucky to be out there really but say it's going around to everybody it seems like on the club and it's like in a preschool one one little kid gets it and everybody gets it that's what happens with the ball club because you travel together all the time now you tell me this after you spent an hour on the clubhouse I feel fine now sort of why so far oh and two is the count Jack Daugherty he is one of the reasons that they gave up on pete incavilgia the other was that Bobby Valentine just plain couldn't stand it and comedian out of the Tigers it's law one ball and two strikes you say the age of the 400 hitter is gone well dirty did that but it was back in 1984 with Hellena of a pioneer league in 402 just 118 here this year swings with a bad pitch holding a ball and two strikes it's really been a strange career for Jack Daugherty he was a very successful collegiate player University of Arizona yet he wasn't drafted by any club so he played in the minor leagues he played with that Helena ball club which was an independent team made up of kids from all all different organizations to play and if you look at his minor league record after that season he went on to West Palm Beach with the Expos at 316 hit 317 at Jacksonville hit 312 in Indianapolis never got an opportunity with a major league club and here he is finally getting a chance with the Texas Rangers and he's 30 years of age it's that hard Gruber tested again up with it smartly and the pros they're two fine plays by Gruber two outs and Rafael Palmero is next left-handers better last year then you did right-handers john olerude did the same why do you think that is because I concentrate a little bit more I tried to see the ball and then you know try to work the whole field hit the ball the other way against right-handers sometimes I pull off the ball and it cost me to hit ground balls i think john olerude does the same thing if you ask him he'll go with the pitch and then he stays in there a little bit better against left-handers big 318 this year decent start circulate for at the AL that is ball one high but he's still a better road hitter the only American leaguer to get 100 hits away last year than he is here at Arlington about 260 points better away than at home the bottom line is this guy just has a sweet swing doesn't matter lefties or righties - a nose the cocktail make a good trivia question for 1990 who led the league in hits Phil Palmeiro otter not Ewok he three-and-oh to it he also finished third in overall batting average of 319 there's a strike to em three and one he was born in Havana Cuba September 24th 1964 way up at centerfield rocking back his white he has room makes the catch for the third out so a long loud third out from the bat of Palmeiro and the Rangers are gone on the bats Blue Jays baseball bat Blue Jays baseball on CTV brought to you I love that food between two tasty Canada here's young John Olerud faced Nolan Ryan he's done decently against him this young hitter 2 for 6 lifetime versus the Ranger right-hander John's a pretty good road to hit her overall and he preached an away from home he'll get a taste of Brian next at the knees that's strike one one one the young John that pitch lasted it he didn't get of course it was a fastball couple of fast balls out there he didn't get that time Nolan Ryan with a good curveball questionable but he got the call on the outside part of the clock and she to display the back cello's among the way I think the strike three let's go Tom house it's interesting about Nolan Ryan he could go one inning out there or he could go nine but his routine never changes yeah it's amazing you know I've always seen him do more but I've never seen him do less and sometimes you know you wonder the day after whether he's thrown a no-hitter or whether he's given up seven runs in the first inning it's the same and I think it's real credit to his commitment to the game mark flexing his first Ryan Mitchell fastball over the heart of the plate for strike one I tell you what else that does Nolan Ryan in his regime is exercise routine that he goes into it's it's helpful to the young pitchers the Texas Rangers have Bobby Witt Kevin Brown guys like this see that oh you see the look there from riot he wanted that pitch to he didn't get from Tim Tschida to see the grimace every time he kind of grits his teeth that's when he wants that there was a changeup that we talked about that he might not throw a lot tonight that was a good one now this is a good one Marc Whitten the guy next to him Glen Allen Hill are going to be major-league stars for years the way they're starting out unusual to see both in the lineup tonight hills there's the d8 she lays off that it's 2-2 mark with a great ballgame last night at four RBIs double and you see him with his 14 RBIs in 33 games he played with the Jays last year mark had seven RBIs and you get the game before this last night what we did on Sunday and this guy goes for four for sky though he gets the call back-to-back strikeouts to God here in the second this was the day of the blue character Lila never did return May 1st 1939 well everyone knows that Lou Gehrig replaced Wally PIPP who played first base that day for the New York Yankees babe Dahlgren another babe but it was babe Dahlgren I have forgotten it if you look at Hillel the played with the one strike count that later on after he could not play baseball anymore he worked the city of New York in a civic capacity under the guidance of the mayor Garrick did see that's out pitches set up another pitch yet mark went with a couple of good curveballs he started Glenallen with the curveball and so he's been watching a lot of curves then what does he do he throws that fastball by him on the second strike just gets a piece of this hills got a very quick bat you'll need one against Ryan so people forget they think of Nolan Ryan and the Express the 90 mile an hour fastball but he gets a lot of strikeouts with that curveball it's a lot of strikeouts period Oh weights of the secret to Ryan's success at age 44 he didn't start using them the other day back in the early 70s he began a weight program when he'd be what he's good 20s I guess and it's paid off for him now he lifts the total of 18,000 pounds a week yeah he does it does a lot of abdominal work he does a lot of light work just to keep those areas strong because all of that goes into the pitching curve also absolutely four K's on the night for Ryan as the Rangers go to their half of the second inning you're watching Labatt Blue Jays baseball from Texas or the Texas Rangers Ruben Sierra the right theater batting cleanup starts the second inning of a scoreless game the pitchers duel is on as advertised strike one from Jimmy key to Sierra Franco and Gonzalez will hit next Ruben got rolling early last night his first of two homers came in the first inning Texas walnut one eight to five to begin this mini two-game series okay nothing new for Ruben Sierra neither last year he at 373 against the Jays this is a young man you look at 25 years of age he already has 118 lifetime home runs the nature late down low his second last night was the game clincher up Jim Acker a three-run shot who was the last hitter before last night he had two home runs against the Jays in one game leave you with that for a moment Sierra is only one away from Larry parish's all-time club record for career homers in this ballpark is a Texas Ranger is 72 Parrish for 73 completely by that pitch that's the finesse of a Jimmy key the Fergie alluded to at the outset of our telecast one out here in the second from the real purist this is fun tonight watching Jimmy key paint and Nolan Ryan fire but you've seen Nolan get some strikeouts with the curveball and you heard Galen Cisco talking about Jimmy key and the ability to get all the pitches over for strikes at any time of the count and that was a good curveball there he kept it down and he had Sierra fooled it's been a slow start to the year for the next hitter Julio Franco he said 333 in the last eight games to up his average from 147 to 239 getting back Tori's should be the former Cleveland in theater strike one to it the key base hit last night on Texas win every once in a while you see youngsters try to imitate Julio Franco with that stance I wouldn't suggest it but it certainly has worked for Julio Franco I can't imagine the coach ever advised against her to stand that way at the plate four out of the last five years this stance has hit over 300 but watch even though he starts that way watch him bring his hands back and get them ready in the hitting right there yep that is his way to get himself going that's the way he feels comfortable he's also been very comfortable its Jimmy key over the years he's tough on the high fastball you'll hit it where it's pitched that's download he drives the file last year he batted quite a bit on the number-two spot it cost him a lot of RBIs ninety-two down to 69 the way it's to to think about Franco - he has the power to all fields he can hit the ball out to where I feel it and that's attested to the fact that he has some fans in the right-field bleachers with a nice sign out there said Julio's dreamers so they know he can hit the ball out that way too his first to Homer game was the night of nolan ryan six no-hit it airs lee the test and he's got the ball he had it there in time but a out of olerud's myth out in front of that pitch a little bit nice play by Manuel Lee to get over and get in front of the ball slips just a little as he glanced in the throw is low but it's a short hop type throw that should be picked by a first baseman it's been a struggle for John Olerud working on his footwork working on getting to the bag even though that's to the back end that's a short hop that should be picked more often than not by first baseman having been one for so many years will accept your theory on that the error gives the Rangers their first base runner of the night for the D H young one Gonzales from Puerto Rico it takes a blow football one in just 128 game flashed here look what he's done this year already last year 128 games over a hundred runs driven in at 28 home run he has a mighty back one ball one strike two well when you think about it an outfield that can put together a couple of youngsters mentioned Ruben Sierra 25 Ben solace just 21 years of age and they they think the world of Juan Gonzalez so they were a little hurt at spring training mid-march he had knee surgery on his right knee but he came back quickly let's get back to that question about the last two victimize the Jays for two home runs we know his last tour last night it wasn't this year Joe Carter thank goodness he will not do that to them anymore September of 89 with the Cleveland Indians nobody hit two last year well somebody hit more last year social feels an 8-3 but if you want to be correct - that's what it was the question was - you just read them the way they're printed that's right one ball two strikes Gonzales cat with Franco at first one out Rangers trying to get Nolan Ryan a lead Sally sits up for the World Cup is going back runner at third base Franco no five this shows you what this 21 year old can do out over the plate he just goes with it nice little bit of decoy by Marc Whitten kind of held his hands up as if he might make a catch see him put his hand up right there I don't know if that throws Franco or not but Franco could only make it to third because he also knew the strong arm of Marc Whitten and Marc got it in the cutoff man perfectly Tim hold that hand up right there either saying that it might be out for a home run so Franco might slow all the while of is doing holding up saying that this falls out of here it's a home run so Franco sees that he might just shorten up a step or two it might have worked Ali catcher Mike Stanley is up routing his tough game then it comes in hitting 214 takes right one cartoons here with bluej Gino Petrelli it just missed outside one ball one strike yeah and because of that situation he hasn't seen a lot of action because consensus rangers have seen mostly right-handed pitchers too many left-handers have gone up against Bobby Valentine's group he misses inside he hit 104 points higher against left-handed pitching than right-handed pitcher he has got much pop to his fastest eleven extra-base hit slash but Neetu can go the other way I've seen it hit some balls card to the right center field gap keya pitch away from loading the bases for third baseman Steve Michelle Tibbie does have his work cut out for him tonight last year he was 8-2 against Eastern Division clubs five and five against the West ballgames here in arlington overs career is only to a handful of no decisions in Texas that is the basis for remind you a cash donation will be made to the schizophrenia Society of Canada be half full of bats blue player of the game for Toronto and Canon makers of the canon e-zero a camcorder it available to decide like weighted compact the canon e-zero spackle features too numerous to mention with tan and good thing small packages so over in third base is reco on the air by owner that started all this the memo by Gonzalez has him at second of the walk to Stanley these him at first Christy Gousha Rochelle trying to extend the hit streak to five games extra quad he likes this Wolcott he hits 375 here at present who sells one of those players who just kind of quietly goes about his job he's been pretty steady an injury a broken wrist came out of action for a few games last year but up until that point he'd averaged about 150 games a year not very deep coming on from left field is Jill Carter Franco will stop right there no chance to score from that range from that are to God now still looking back saying it's a little tough right now all that Twilight this is tough time of evening get those balls popped my in the air and anytime you have a long way to go long strides you want to stay on the balls of your feet and kind of tippy toe if you start lumbering in and running on your heels you start bouncing around too much soon as you do that the head starts bobbing and then you have a chance to drop the ball the next hitter the shortstop Jeff Huson doesn't see a lot of action against left-handers 27 games against left-handed pitching last year there are little power the Rangers would settle for a use of signal right here getting with the bases loaded and two out in the Rangers second of a scoreless game like what their disapproval a rather inconsistent strike zone tonight even though that pitch was on the corner or outside it was away from usin and he was bailing as it was not seeing a lot of left-handers he will take care of this himself Oh squeezes it and the Rangers leave the bases loaded that was a good pitch to get out from under sweet random no score through two on the bats Blue Jays baseball reg Myers you in the best shape you've ever been in what did you do in spring training well we got the new conditioning coach Rick notch and I worked out quite a bit with him every other day I'd go to health ball with and then do a little bit extra testing which was hard spring to Gregg Myers has seen the lion's share of work behind the plate he's in 5221 games so far that counter-rotation has come up to see more right-handers against in the left possibly looks to be the best shape certainly of his major-league career now the thing that Greg is going to have to continue even though he's been catching a lot as the season progresses you still have to do some working out playing alone isn't going to just keep you in shape on the first pitch in foul territory Michelle has it Brian with a perfect record except the walk to Gruber a third man he faced in the first and looking at Greg Myers seeing a good shape that he is it who could attest to that Nolan Ryan but another veteran catcher Carlton Fisk who works out times a week after ballgames the Rangers return the visit to Toronto may 7th and 8th Ryan if the rotation holds like Lee pitch at the SkyDome he has never pitched at that facility you'd like to add that to his list of major league parks he's won at least one game in this side a man will leave es-tu he could never get back he's won in 30 of the 32 parks he has pitched in you could never do it in Forbes Field Pittsburgh or Municipal Stadium in Kansas City we certainly can and probably will like to it's funny if you could only pick this up as a hitter Nolan only grunts on the fastball chose the curveball he doesn't grunt only other fat and these like at number five for you see the fastball then what does he do there's a big alert ball it's hard to stay away from when you have two strikes the CTV telecast is presented by authority of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball club and may not be rebroadcast in any form without the express written consent of the Toronto Blue Jays on white now one the 23 light the virus to farmers diet is he with almost the minimum kitchens yeah there's a couple of keys in watching Nolan Ryan over the years does he get his fastball in spots he's done that tonight does he get the curveball over consistently he's done that today so you'd have to say early on it's very easy to the numbers with five strikeouts he is - lefty about a play you never know you're looking at a man 44 years of age 231 pitches in his last start looks as fresh as candy almost exercises the the stationary bicycle the weights the people each starts covered 8:30 gave up eight hits and five runs I think I put that's his sixth strikeout from deep in the heart of Texas for bats Blue Jays baseball what'll be the third inning in the top of the Texas order here's Gary Pettis showing bunt and taking strike and something they would like to see more of something the Angels the Tigers other teams that Gary Pettis played for wanted to see more of more bunny is strike two and less of that much less that is dogged him throughout his career the only other major league player that had as many hundred strikeout years in fewer than five or six home runs named Omar Moreno and with the Pittsburgh Pirates the other day at the SkyDome he had never touched and you certainly can't take anything away from a pitcher because it's your natural reaction to field your position to try to go after the ball Jimmy does that but unfortunately and you can see his reaction as soon as it went off his glove he knew that if he had let it bill and wooly would have made the point it the batteries Jack Daugherty the leftfielder grounding that - Kelly Gruber in the first Fortius switch hitter with much more power from the left side pushes a buck he's got his beads on hand here in Arlington I could surf be up in Arlington finding a pawn here what something was so far expect to see vatted in Anaheim maybe we are out on the ball Prairie to be awesome the toe and to well on Saturday there will be at the post ctv's Wide World of Sports will feature exclusive coverage of horse racing's most race in the Triple Crown it's number one jewel the Kentucky Derby live from Churchill Downs in Louisville big field Hansel one to watch and a horse with no tail Sea Cadet may be there as well great name for saw a horse with no tail I guess he can't depend on any kind of a tail is less to carry along across the line you can see what Bobby Valentine is trying to do near early in the game he had thority up there and not too often do you see a number 2 hitter to stripes because if you follow off this is what happens you're a strikeout victim and you're out but knowing the way nolan Ryan's pitching seeing him go through the first three innings he realizes that one run might be enough and that's what he wants to get let me ask you this why would he have a guy do it on the third strike who done it so badly on the first two he probably thinks he's a better putter than he showed Joubert is Palmero and he's also hitting just a little over 100 Rafael flied to deep center on the warning track to Devon white see with pedis maybe up to all the infos base one of the other things that Gary Pettis brings to baseball is his ability to steal bases to Jimmy keys going to have to keep a close eye especially after the already failed to move over - hi the eyes Jim cheated Texas grape Toby Harris over at first ten straight strikes from Jimmy key in a while distracted by the base level to be sure wild game they had a County Stadium in Milwaukee six hours and five minutes in 19 innings the Brewers ten is the white socks that's after they tied it in a three run fifth Rock Blacula more on that solid single from Palmeiro of the to second base with one out already the strong arm of respecting the American League that's why it's left-handers so well and also why hit 390 against the Jays last year but Pettis with outstanding speed never hesitated took a good turn around second when he knew all along that he wasn't going to go first to third on that base hit we seen some great arms over the years number six stole as Cano and of course Jesse Barfield of the Jays they're the Yankees now Marc Whitten as good as any there is Ruben Sierra struck out of the second inning a lot of these Texas players Jeff Russell Ramirez one has done a lot look at Jimmy key is Sierra Rockford charity as well he gives tickets to Hispanic youth groups every single Friday night when the Rangers and Hall me there's a lot of tickets already industry basic transporter range higher snap bro sad part about that is we wanna add I'm not so sure Pettis got a pretty good job and you can see he's about ready to slide it would have been close but what happened Greg Myers never got a full grip on the ball and he never really was able to get off this strong throw and the ball skips past Kelly Kelly was there to try to block it but the ball took that skip to his right and went down the left field line so it's a stolen base and an error of the catcher allowing the run to score righto second Aragon we're on the second ballot she and God good day pants have to wished it Ciara might take a siesta he's go two game series a breaking ball he just opened things up and shows the power that he has the amazing thing about Sierra with his two home runs in the ballgame last night seven times he said two home runs this is pretty good pitch look at Myers his myth he's going to go down and inside to make the catch and it was wheelhouse of Ruben Sierra but up to seven drives he said two more runs in a ballgame against the Toronto Blue Jays that is just a second home run the key is given up this year family a bye Rangers we clean up in here sticking Ryan to the lead you'd look for that pitch is borderline if he doesn't swim Oh Becca strike one inside to him one ball one strike the Rangers at one five of their last six games versus the Blue Jays here at Arlington they just continued of Ryan pitching as Witter close out you get a litter Jolly's he doubled it Rangers left the bases loaded there this stadium holds a shade over 40,000 they're going to have close to that tonight like to watch a ballgame like a map the fact that Ryan is he with a strike to Gonzalez not only do they sell out usually with Ryan pitches but jump a couple of points to they get the highest ratings when Ryan pitches got a good chance of getting good ratings too oddly enough but Texas not on local television game is Ghana their schedule but they go away I am met by the bands with it SATA was a little high school POC that is kept on going you see the change over the I'll tell you I've seen this Stadium Jane in the Texas League all-star we played the Houston 45 the baseball team safest guns Ali days of other defensive jitters tonight well we talked earlier Fergie mentioned the fact that Kelly Gruber battling the flu not feeling a hundred percent making feel even worse after you back up soon as you make that one step back it always seems that ball stays down doesn't do what you want it to do you can't come up and make the play we saw john olerude with a couple of plays like that up in the sky bill the Blue Jays two of the glove and one our Mike Stanley the catcher seven pillar of the Texas third inning that's low ball one I began with better single after Daugherty's to run homer by Sierra freed up the Grainger always tough in the picture like kitty kiosk like four maybe five out tough on any picture exit pitches in you you think you should be out of the inning Zero's under the our nastiest letter in the alphabet for baseball he retained it and his balance to flip to RR and they got out of the inning but not before Rangers why the range for three watch this again this was more than great this was outstanding Manuel Lee fully extended somehow the ball stays in a bit easy flip for the force watching the battery Jays baseball half a dozen strikeouts on the wall time for Ryan by the way sense of a head of Dwight Gooden as the Major League strikeout leader in the season of 1991 this pitching coach Tom house Nolan Ryan this is his third year in the Texas Rangers since you first had it as he lost anything off his basketball no surprisingly he's right where he belongs and if anything this is the fastest fastball he's had in April since he's been with us it's not good news for this wig Ritchie the Roberto Alomar members doubly so because it came that's ball 2 Lackey's to Cosette's lifetime against you talk every about the trade wait Nolan was with the Backson I see bollocks record was 29 or plus Caesars nipple are you talking about a pitcher with nine games under 500 at that time the Mets desperately needed a third baseman so because it's easy to look back on that yeah well here's some of the father and son victims of Nolan Ryan Roberto sandy and dab everybody in the Alomar family Francona's the bonds the groupies the Scofield and the will got that a ton of power Roberta was telling me that he he and his brother Sandee used to play with Barry Bonds in this ballpark when Roberto's father played for Texas before C's I heat - well you know the kind of career you go to your dad and ask him how to hit a certain guy yeah how'd you hit Nolan no better than you buy something I'm balling two strikes so far with Kelly Gruber Nolan with two fast Falls up that Kelly miss and then he came back with the curveball number one victim Claudell Washington hope Nolan sends him a Christmas looking at number one one time now here's a tough guy at the bottom what's that he get Tommy huh hangs up you jack Gordy you know it's funny I was talking about that earlier because having faced all in a few times a couple of games AJ's in a few times with the Expos where no one was with Houston the one strike that believe it or not I don't remember but I do remember two doubles remember the positive x yeah that's right I only think positive but just a battle all the way go Carter Stanly back as far as he could go I was telling you earlier that they won the thing that stands out in my it was in Anna the next hitter is a pinch-hitter Sam you standing at second base watching Nolan mine it was like he said himself how can I let this guy hit a double off day there's no way this next guy is going to get me it's back at the ball of two strikes to since the walk to Gruber which led to nothing he has retired nine straight you struck out stop that's a call that the whole play and up fire needs a little help first place but see no call right away from cheetah first base umpire one that said the ball I'll get catch it it did the foot of Joe Carter it's like that once again here in Texas drive that Blue Jays baseball on CTV desire Dola classic you can't real thing the Texas Rangers hitting in the home half of the fourth inning here at Arlington tonight the third baseman Steve B shell at the plate he flied to left in the second take strike one from Jimmy and Gary Pettis will be following think what's going through Jimmy P just finished an inning in which he in size ballclub make errors behind watching Nolan Ryan you almost have to think Jimmy Sisk up with a score off Nolan he's got a really bird come back that is strike two bond to strikes you're saying between innings word can spread so fast to a major league baseball already press box buzzing about what riot is doing here in Texas tonight solid single pass to beat it and let up the shell to a single lucky they don't boo Steve Buechele here in Arlington that's just their call for I played by Joe Carter to quickly get the gap Joe Carter can't flow if he doesn't have a strong heart right new shell takes a bigger turn and might think about going to second base see how deep Carter is come up with the strong throw and hold guzel to the single well the shortstop do you suppose he finally dug the ball out of frozen Bob Bashara dance he's Center for Expo in the left hand hitter Mario Diaz another infielder with Texas he's little bit under the weather he's got some bad flu himself he may have been in there Jimmy's good fielding pitcher but here he had a little bit of trouble getting the ball out he scoops it up all may have gotten a deeper in his glove than he thought still plenty of time to gets right he maintains his composure and makes it play you said last year as a rookie was able to pretty good stats and not until last year really known is that Gary Pettis same story have known for his bath but he needed contribution in the third inning single that went off the globe Lanford Texas right yeah talking about how word gets around basta jazz club watching the TV the Edison picked up record-breaking steel rest boxes dugouts are here but also has eight strikeouts after four it what happens if you room of a newspaper we'll start building it every happening the track Gary Pettis up there and mentioning Rickey Henderson Pettis a nice conversation with Davey Lopes Davey Lopes one of Bobby Valentine 57 she is like is the headfirst slide as straight off slide is Pettis the third strikeout to Jimmy key but Davey Lopes in his career was more of an advocate of that straight on slide this again is a problem that Pettis has had over his entire career you expect the ink Afilias and the rob deer's and let me just name the rest of the tiger office expect them to strikeout but not hitters such as a Gary Pettis but he always had this is Jack Daugherty is over to you can get about the Tigers and the strikeouts but really there's some other teams approaching Detroit and striker told us Baltimore is one of them Baltimore in Oakland right there looking that's a surprising thing about the openiy seven strikeouts as a team back into the Tigers have done dirty down to 105 like the Blue Jays with quite an alum our Valentine to switch hitters up was their first right see at last pitch that was a good pitch curveball authority was almost the same place that Jimmy key made that airing it out for the two run shot is it to what yes got a piece of that which is right yes you'll have to be out for about a month but at least no surgery and at least you will not miss the rest of the season at three point what 1 million dollars dirty pops that up on the right side it is drifting back toward the seats and will just be out of play helicopter is up there signs being flashed overhead aligment stadium are you sure that's a helicopter something from some of the planet at least and Ford would 3-nothing Jackson is the to 2d files that bad he's always kind battle between the two cities in the stadium as you mentioned it between Dallas and Fort Worth and they planned in 1994 to have a new stadium just about a mile away but the original thought was to have it either in Dallas or Fort Worth and there's so much problem between the two cities they decided to keep it in article two it was such a rivalry here in Texas that many consider Oklahoma to be another planet down to Gruber you'll make the tag on Buechele and take care of the inning that way a little bit shocked that the play was coming his way ability on the fielder's choice ends the inning and the tag of Gruber who shell the choice by kellygrugan are nothing al bathra Jays baseball happy couple step out don't get a hit here we skate over back Ryan working quickly to first baseman John the ball under strike to the young boy Jay so Jay is hit in the fifth inning totally frustrated so far by Ryan Mark Whitney bananen he'll enjoy laughter olerude miss two and one was that fastball that Nolan Ryan more often to left-handers - right to sink or the seeking fastball than the fastball that we throw up as two piece of it he sinks one away in with the next one get it up in under the hand I mentioned 19 Hall of Famers and struck out victims of Ryan's Android names on the list no one at sea some of the name of it who's back well sails that just took on two third time he has run the count full I've done so since the first time from the Texas you know what kind of a picture his son is I know he had a game he pitched against it at the University of Texas preseason he's just a freshman and he hasn't pitched a lot now his son they say throws in the low 80s make it a little bit better but isn't an overpowering type pitcher right now Petey son my game 12/5 and on the fifth or did you said the showstopper row set down by Ryan now Ginn Gruber's walk third by the case tomorrow staying the only blemish on his record Nolan Ryan here in Texas can do no wrong as a matter of fact the Texas Senate folded a portion of state highway 288 which runs through Alvin Texas to be called the Nolan Ryan Expressway one of the senators senator and even said that go past they may expressway said jokingly of course so this the only expressway we can drive 94 miles an hour you saw that list of all the timers that go struck out I went around bluejay coaches had asked him they stolen right happen which hacker the third-base coach say the only face that won't sin he struck him out Mike Squires said he was 5 for 11 with a couple of strike are strikeouts off Nolan John Sullivan said that Ryan would have had to come to the minor leagues to strike here Moe Gene Tenace now he said the ever hit up Nolan three-run shot out in Oakland and Sedo said he's never had a home a big year one year 29 home runs for San Diego here they all have iron stories to tell but and the back again snow I always remember sui and autumn awkward it has been a long time - Nolan Ryan between no-hitters in eleventh of last year number six working on one tonight two out of the he's the only picture obviously with all the no-hitters the only one who's thrown no-hitters in three different decades 270 days a night why do you hate to jinx them I think that's nonsense frankly the charm of CTV may strike again tonight we were lucky enough last year to televise two no-hit games Dave Stewart in the SkyDome and Dave Stieb in Cleveland now this tonight into the fifth inning with two gone Nolan Ryan has not given up a hit he'll and just a second attack against sweat blood first time struck out is my either on Saturday your area Toronto and Kansas City check for the starting time a tional telecast many of these stations he'll just can't handle it that's the same thing he did the good Holland last time up he sees that the young hitter is going after the high fastball the one that's out of the strike zone so he's just going to keep keep feeding it there or maybe come back with the curve that's out of the strike zone for the same ending as goes back to talk to the umpire nine strikeouts for your swing the umpires going to call it you're watching the bats through Jays baseball No out almost 45 and here in Texas rewarded so far it was seventh no-hitter by Nolan believe this true you will try to add to it right here starting with Rafael Palmero launchers got to write but Whitman has room all hailed up in the night air and that's the first out of the fifth inning let's pause now for this word we have a rule help strike out Billy Addison colitis these bout disease is a quick over 200,000 Canadians who donation will provide research funds to help find a cure for colitis and Crohn's disease call today and help strike out illy Addison colitis 1-800 387 one four seven nine next up Ruben Sierra one-man wrecking ball for the Blue Jays three home runs of two nights here in Texas forgave them a three nothing you have to like the way Jimmy key came back in the fourth inning that bass too after the disastrous third saw the numbers on cierra against Jimmy key a moment ago doesn't hit go for average but those with power once right Red Sox scoreless with Minnesota all about that on the rest of the action in baseball again we'll straight by Sierra three okay one of the things that sometimes goes unnoticed concerning Ruben Sierra to the last four seasons the fewest amount of games he's played is 56 he goes out there he has some minor injuries those problems last year few minor nagging in truth he gets this smart way approaches to bag to God a very good fielding pitcher hey fans know that was a nice play because had the ball gotten by Jimmy key john olerude was well off the bag there was nobody at first once Jimmy made that play touches the Baggies it did it all the way Royalle Franco and Blue Jays men will leave something in common the Republican force natural shortstops became second basemen please how about these three young players that came up in the Philadelphia Phillies organization Julio Franco Juan Sam well he's now with the Dodgers and Ryan Sandberg who's with the Chicago Cubs can't get to it's a pretty good young players like with the Phillies right now that's where the fillings were where they are Julio Franco - with the all-star game coming up in July at the SkyDome Leo Franco was the allstar MVP last year and a big double off Rob Dibble drove home a couple of runs for the American League back takes the ball one the ballpark tonight Ranko striking out to them for Texas delayed by Schoology not very much ii @c toby sports patrol with Rob black I wonder what this guy's like first thing in the morning for these the nine display my son Orion's fans and he works to Greg Myers the Bulge a catcher instructs them you describe that was your old fraternity was do that when the night air is 77 Fahrenheit they're on wait little bit two and one he's got to a fork out a few times no real signs of wild one watt yup my god - we have told you and everybody else has been that is one brown by Alomar the second base and a fourth time tonight there is go I no hips leading three nothing 71 hi they just came black at number 10 when it gets up in that territory with two strikes you're right it's one of the toughest pitches to stay away from them with 10 strikeouts now Ryan in his career 208 times as struck out ten get in fast lots of speed by the yeah remember Bobby Valentine's decision I have Brian downing in as the DEA chief Downing's the th1 Gonzalez is in centerfield with a sore hamstring and not Gary Pettis Pettis five-time I came a long way too and owes him one to God here in the sixth inning and the drama continues to be a battle Devon white struck out twice one of the no-hitters that Nolan Ryan pitched is and Blue Jay Alan Ashby for 24 lifetime against one so one more once all three in the second third - in the four one so far here the 6th inning 10 of them wrote down 20 strikeouts in a single game you know we were talking earlier about things that you see clubhouses there's a sign visiting Clubhouse or Monica the rockers and it's a science and the second day of the series and so you know he's obviously going to oblige but he wants to just make it one day and he wants to limit things to to pro player the opposition to a 188 batting average and ten times he's done that in his career help the knitters who are batting average my boys we're watching tonight the Jays baseball - every a live with Johnny hutton and fergieolver welcome you back to Nolan Ryan night here in Arlington Texas the Rangers lead the and for Texas one the BH starts the Ranger sixth inning look at the catcher mic stand you also have to think about a little bit what's going through Mike Stanley's back there behind plate realizing that two six innings their no-hitter going and Stanley has not caught for the gold the key is given up five hits as convicted eyes by pitched in more than one world sewage for the map right let's give heartily up with it smartly in the or road to God remind you a cash donation is a British society of Canada on behalf of the player of the game for Texas and Sanyo CompTIA logic CD portable stereo compact power and realism of a full-size home CD stereo motor-driven twin cassettes remote control sanyo sophisticated compu-logic CD very compulog tonight we've gone in the sixth inning for Steve Gousha one foot - they said before event we sat in it's three years ago now at the exhibition Stadium Nelson Liriano in the ninth-inning that's Sunday afternoon that's the amazing thing the six no-hitters he spits 12 hitters 12 one hitters and to others the Nelson Liriano base hit three of those and three of them with first-inning singles for the books one ball and two strikes to Michelle quite decently relaxed and ever so ready as Michelle takes a call lost in the Ryan performance here in Texas succeeding to complain juniper how about Blue Jays baseball welcome back to Arlington Texas where Ryan works to alibi artists are the seventh inning alive nothing dangerous way looking to sweep the miniseries from the J's the only baserunner on a rock from LA on deck himself into the ground Alomar trying to hit one off the clock teeth right filled with that swing that fastball does intimidate you you know your bat speeds gotta be so you'd never do it the play you know and spotting the fastball that wasn't just a fastball that he reared back and threw down the middle that fastball was on the outside part you can see this swing that he moves them in out upstairs probably upstairs here and gets the destructor and the Toronto seventh-inning he is eight outs away from a no-hitter different types three fast balls right there the one that Roberto had the big swing on the one that he spotted on the outside and that third one the sinking fastball that went down goober what's coming next if they do guess it's a fastball as you say they have no idea about its location and certainly you're not going to go up against Nolan right and look for that curveball he pops him straight up to the screen trunks family without the ball two strikes to builder it has done this kind of thing to a lot of teams including the Blue Jays before he struck out 14 Jays July 25th of 89 he is 23 games 15 strikeouts or more we mentioned Clemens 20 strikeouts for the record 19 strikeouts for time building against the Jays in their first year night family sets up out there team is the record we are watching absolute pitching masterpiece here and the thing that you lose sight of in watching him pitch Paul runs away from Kelly Gruber you've seen three different types of fast balls here listening but the thing that you lose perspective it is it he's 44 years old he works into the seventh inning having struck up five of the last six he is faced 13 in total whose Gil Carter on the outside corner well here they are 1990 Oakland the last and the Dodgers before that nine years the point of Kansas City that pretty good run there in the mid 70s time off in the 80s but you'll see back going through some of those catchers Jeff Torborg the Angels caught one of the no-hitters art Kushner Egon John Russell but the last no-hitter and Ryan fist all you could do is sit there and talk about Kelly say that ball I mean you can't be upset you just have to say this is this guy you just have to marvel and try to go up there try to break to the swipe survey commiserate ten straight since the gigawatt I am too you made the point and the pictures speak for themselves I mean he is just burying this picture so I mean his selection his quarterbacking gap there is the thing to behold let's get the baton it I guarantee that ball was he waits back and a 3-2 pitch he wanted to go with his fastball he had to throw it just a little bit harder the toll Carter has also been sitting on the pension based in Christ he's had sex foot command I would be surprised if but the second man on reaches first time since Gruber's walk in the first inning when john olerude Brian left between 131 pitches against Cleveland last Friday they he's done tonight michelle is third baseman got in for a chat able to give that pastor Carter yeah and also think about it's been a while stretch each level is going in a bad idea right there over the years because of Lola Ryan's highlake number two it opened up on the left side with the shortstop Jeff Huson covering second base open up a nice hole for John Olerud pop up the second more respectable out seventh inning over six outs away labels for history of the making Hibiki is gone this night in Arlington and Bob McDonnell comes on now figured to get some more seasoning in Syracuse but absence of Ken dayley due to his busy problems and the roaring nee an activity for him rocket gone wrong very decently at wounded activity of the Blue Jays the game for a while comes in to start with the number nine Texas sitter Jeff Huson the shortstop he leaves without consecutive victory number five things stay the way they did he will at least get a no-decision tonight the best he can hope the butler strike certainly a good outing by Jimmy key the pitch that's here hit the home run we've described that a good pitch is down errors hurting to that third in it we've talked about Chevy though we've talked about the chain of events and things that happen with the pitching staff because of the injury to pinkie and also the dizziness of Ken Dayle so all of a sudden that's put different position to dr. Frank wills called up in the Bluejays side with triple a contract today that's I am here Detroit Tigers Auto recapitulate good let the alarm dad you think about that if the injuries didn't occur up here McGann probably still be at aaam so the signing of Hernandez my penis abusive you said castrated becomes strikeout victim number one McDonald omaeda Sunday night on CTV get ready for a comedy cream at Miller and Lily Tomlin bump into the river Lily Tomlin on a crazy story about two sets of twins in big business this week CTV Sunday movie business here tonight capacity crowd sitting in on the possible 7 a weird pitch low McDonald is low repurpose is ship taming a burden is the first run of an eye oceans - Papa takes the strike one and one the other two ends came after Palmeiro singled Ruben Sierra's two-run homer late a three nothing all it sees that Julie been fun watch sinking fastball from the right side McDonald similar for the left side they have been called up and we talked about role change relief pitchers is a great experience get this experience in these types of situations a ball and two strikes McDonald working the Pettis in the Texas seven thing these situations right here for young pitchers toward the end of the season invaluable what they can word by the job that they've done by the way the Red Sox still scoreless in Minnesota even late going now in the ninth inning strikes him out faces two fans to McDonald doing is Nolan Ryan impersonation the leftfielder objects keys old for three to figure what it is for a youngster Bob McDonald to go out there having sat in the bullpen watched Nolan Ryan he's out there on the same mound and the pudding itself very well solid single passed Alma keeps the Texas seven below bring up Rafael Palmero Rangers by the way have a Canadian on their team Kevin Reimer not on the lineup tonight but he still resides in in juvey British Columbia Gardi a switch-hitter then that's the way he hits he's not a power hitter he is struggling we talk about his average right around the 100 clock but when he hits that tight baseball line drive down that's what he's successful Palmeiro with his single in the third inning is one for three like what inside probably play good pitch from McDonald talking about the swing of Rafael Palmero it's a nice swing to watch he said as a youngster in baseball early through high school in the bye played all the time we played four or five games a week basically plant other leaves in the left centerfield so McDonald starts impressively enough with strikeouts abusive impetus dorothea now Palmero back-to-back singles or Ruben Sierra well that's the worst part signals he takes that pitch he on the world panders against the left-hander we try to pull that pitch it's just a ground ball to the right side is where they Frazier starts to loosen up with the problem with hit the two strikeouts with the two base hits and there comes that guy again Ruben Sierra that guy is in a two run home in an ID and a couple of homers last night handedly the Blue Jays in the two games stand at Texas on the right side tonight against both he and McDonnell left-handed we could've ebony us for you would not know it but what two-run homer third inning much the pitch away for ball one no I can borrow tonight on ball ones right logger meaning them the way two or three smart effect I think it might affect someone going after their first note when you thrown six he's gone through just about everything get up with a horse play at second to Alomar gets the job done hard shot by Sierra but to no avail let's do no damage to the gaze of MacDonald and still Ryan and the Rangers by three Nolan about ready to go to work on Labatt Blue Jays baseball viewers in Newfoundland looking in on a bid for no hit number seven for the amazing Texas right-hander Nolan Orion's and I Brian gets set to pitch the eighth inning with the inexperience of mark woodland Glen Hill Lake Meijer in behind him down the bottom part of the order if you look at the prospects paper beliefs are pretty favorable for Ryan really about the only Baptists Edomite sent up there would be the veteran Mookie Wilson good shots to the outfield you grew up Wanda Paterson Center no-hit saver in the fifth inning and now the beste Sierra and think about some of the balls that have been hit tonight that one ball in the sixth inning Manuel Lee hit that Gary Pettis raced it on the shallow flyball but as you mentioned went in the last two times up has been right on the fastball of Nolan run he hasn't gotten around level all night he struck out twice ok your young hitter just getting ready to say before he threw that curveball what did he throw Glenallen last time three straight fast balls yeah you'll remember that in the fifth inning Tommy and I had a chance to ask that Alan you know what he said in the home plate umpire and he just said well those balls moving and she does hit but yes they are he's like would you check him for me please this is I haven't had a chance to of Mike Stanley oh yeah amazing consistency 1 1 the hill sometimes a hitter after he swings at a pitch up will ask or pitch down that he thinks is out of the strike zone will ask if it was a striker is popped up and will be well back and out of play one ball and two strikes and then obviously the sarcastic umpire will say well sure it is you swung it but the hitter wants to know is if if he swung at a strike or a ball doesn't much matter a baker's dozen in the scratch off the popgun tonight is the two and then the Carter six innings later even the foul balls are hard this curveball Glen has a good swinging and because of that I'd be surprised if no one comes back with a curveball again Foreman makes impact like that so after seeing that good swing on let's see if Nolan stays with his fastball up to Glenallen he dies he's now coming all heading he stayed right in that same area with Glenallen Hill all night and looking back chef and his six no-hitters he had 17 is Greg Myers just gets the piece he's gone over 100 pitch but now with 100 more it's 131 against the Indians last Friday night see TV control thank you very much indeed along with Ricky Henderson making history this day Nolan Ryan might join him on may 1st of 1991 a phrase are on the mound for the Blue Jays Ranko looks that up into right field what does collected there Ranger bullpen say that's always a difficult play all territory when you have to you know because you have that bound area down there and you tippy toe into foul territory sometimes you stumble over that mound to play by we'll reach a little bit further of the EM that he figured there you go see the right there in the bullpen warm-up area for Texas Juan Gonzalez he takes a strike from rejuvenative praise their head a nap horrible spring training what to Syracuse how's mechanics and rhythm together has come back to pitch effectively one swipe walk ahead to the menu mr. Ryan feast there's no dinner tonight man this length and other activities involving the Bluejays next weekend check for where you live and salad him we'll go to first base make a great move to get away from that pitch he does becoming a factor today's you're just trying to keep his fastball in up and in so you want to pitch Juan Gonzalez he held his ground Mike Stanley now the catcher this could be a very special night in his career the kitchen seventh no-hitter for Nolan they in baseball this has been records feel by Anderson and now this tonight ball one strike to the hitters family and the Rangers got all those go we'll treat up and leave - and 1000 M as Fergie mentioned earlier seems like every pitch Nolan Ryan throws the record is set also working on his 60th career shut up you eat cheese Lord sends it back file they attendance tonight a little misleading 33,000 439 10,000 more than that here because they supermarket talk about great timing gave away 10,000 tickets for tonight's game so 10,000 gave of a lifetime free of charge pay for this has to get back far off the base of the wall zowie's heading to third base with second sinful the governor's family but we'll play by mark quit watch this bear hand off the wall it turns in fires the pick on the one hop it comes quickly with the tag and Stanley just is able to beat it that's a good try by when to get it in quick and in a nice play by Manuel Lee Galen Cisco at the talk to Fraser who Steve the shell that hit her leading to face the right-handed hitter shell funny how things work just relax pitching today Mouse's coaches or five years younger just make a mistake there they send the runner guns Alice he's a dead duck while Stanley takes the they try to squeeze they tried to just sneak it one more run Bobby Valentine did with the runner coming a pitch that's not a good pitch to try to punch so you can't really fall the blue shell at fault the runner mister jiae's labeled making a whose Fraser breather on the way to his own one delivery here which misses one ball one strike that's it Tommy Lasorda I just like to do that every so often he reaches for the generous hop thanks to photo caribou shell this man is they're with us I TV category just the eyes of Texas for the eyes of North America Brian here in the line career seventh or first up truck stop Manuel Lee Globo yes to baserunners Carter in the seventh inning goober in the first unwise top of the order do next the Corrado by Marc Whitten one in the fifth inning a foul ball to deep center the right field in the eighth shallow flyball Gary Pettis raced in Devon white is a hat-trick tonight three strikeouts there have been three no-hitters in this day back to 1906 to write 15 strikeouts for ayam this night white clouds that getting with a 1 for 25 lifetime mark versus Ryan - so Steve Ishida 22 lifetime against Nolan arms it just a little bit longer you can think about it the last couple of innings maintaining it a cool all of the curveball than to the first six or seven to evoke that for the seventh time divide and out of the old man is Toronto second baseman Roberto and even though Roberto Alomar client flutter you go up there and you say to yourself if you've got to break up a no-hitter like everybody else that is awkward this is electrifying and I know struck out the side in the second inning ian's are available perhaps the most anticipation of the final strike for the final out and again he's staying with his fastball looking at that good one stubborn young hitter he doesn't want to make the last out you

I remember this game like it was yesterday. A long with the perfect game that Kenny Rogers tossed in 1994.
