home depot first in home improvement by auto song get in the zone autozone by delta fly with a little understanding and by coca-cola life tastes good another beautiful night here at Turner Field in Atlanta time for game 2 exposure in town also time for us to take a look at tonight's starting lineup right at the top of the order a guy who specializes in extra-base hit Orlando Cabrera Mike Mordecai gets the start at second will bat second Milton Bradley moves into the third spot the heart of the order Vladimir Guerrero leaves Stevens and Fernando tattoos that's a tough three the way through in the final three Mark Smith Michael Barrett and young left hander Matt light Ray's defense has this look up the middle it's Lopez for calling Baris around the bag at second Andrew will patrol Center the wings in the outfield Gilkey gets the start in left Brian Jordan and his familiar spotted right at the corners in the infield chippers at third Wes Helms again at first and on the mound left-hander Oh Dallas Perez first five starts not too good last two starts very good it's been a while since he's pitched in control and being able to locate these pictures I thought today I don't know how you read or if you had a chance to read the Atlanta journal-constitution he expressed disappointment at not pitching more and I think it might have been misread by some people the way I read it is here's a kid who would like to pitch in a major leagues and he said I understand you have Maddux and Glavine and Smoltz and those guys but you know I just I want to pitch in the big leagues and I think I can I like I personally like his intensity and I think you can channel that so those that's the Braves defense that's the Expos offense how about the umpires here's the way it will work that's Greg Bonet in the plate bruce fremming boy he's been here since the arch was a tree he's down at first he's the crew chief Jerry meals at second another good night for baseball Pete but if you get it up in the air to right field it could carry a little let's see a lot of left-handers on the mound right almost all right-handed lineup they got their work cut out for ya that's a pretty good breeze blowing out toward right field tonight and here we go as Orlando Cabrera gets ready to step in Mike Mordecai will follow and then Milton Bradley against Oh Dallas Perez Cabrera 2 for 4 last night and a 277 hitter on the year first pitch of the night on the way from Oh Thomas Perez and mrs. hideaway first time he's pitched in ten days and as Dan was saying concerned a little bit about what his control might be tonight having not pitched in a game in so long but different throwing in the side which he's done several times - the game - no and sometimes when you come out after not throwing that long you can be a little strong and usually what results appear little strong basketballs upstairs good velocity the tough location one the count now on and Cabrera there's the instr that will be facing Atlanta Matt blank making his first major league start thirteen relief appearances last year he got it up in the air to right field I'm not very deep that's the first out here in the top half of the first gives you an idea though what the wind is going to do that got up high enough to be pushed out there he hit that on the end of the bat and broke his bat but it sent Brian Jordan almost for the warning trailer notice in batting practice anything hit high in the air really is gonna carry out for it right field far right-center clears Mike Mordecai the former brave playing second base tonight batting 227 with a couple of home runs nothing in a lot of Mordecai one ball one strike - saw that noted Mordecai how long he was in the Braves organization which is the organization that sign them originally since leaving the Braves he's really settle in with the Expos he's in his fourth year now at Montreal he's been with Montreal as long as he was with the major league club in Atlanta and he's fashioned himself a pretty decent big league career being able to play a number of positions being on time staying in shape keeping his nose clean and just all-in-all being a good fifth in fielder good asset for the ball up the middle base hit centerfield for Mike Mordecai and the Expos have the first baserunner of the night that will bring up the center fielder Milton Bradley Mordecai in found himself catching earlier this year he is the emergency catcher which hardly ever comes into play over the course of the season but it did for Montreal early on this year they had one catcher get injured after their initial catcher Michael Barrett got thrown out of a game sandy Martinez came in to catch he suffered a broken bone had to leave the game the game went into extra innings and Mike Mordecai was behind the plate at the end Milton Bradley Oh for three and last night's game hitting 239 for the air chop the third Chipper Jones goes to second in time there let's see if Maris and he's able to beat the rap at first but now there are two outs remember last night the third baseman for the expose to teach took a little time getting the rid of the ball almost got his guy knocked in the left field down there well chipper got the ball to the second baseman kill the old varus in time for him to touch the bag get out of the way and make it close that further but the key was he unloaded it to him in a hurry here's Vladimir Guerrero now batting 295 after an Oprah three night last night he has nine homers 28 RBIs and he takes ball one this is the franchise for the Expos 3:45 last year with 44 homers and 123 runs driven a driven hundred 31 runs two years ago line caught five arrests for round number three hard-hit ball by Vladimir Guerrero but Gill vo varus took it away from them and that'll do it for Montreal in the top half of the first inning no score as the Braves come to bat [Music] anyone could give you the lineups baseball weekly puts you in

Braves bachelor try to go to work kill Bo Baris will lead it off Rafael Furcal with that second we see what they've been doing recently if you saw the opening Andruw Jones to hit third chipper for Brian Jordan will bat 5th Javy Lopez is a sixth place hitter Bernard Gilkey gets the start in left field what has he done as a starter done very well thank you 3 33 with three RBIs Wes Helms at odhh Alex Perez will complete the battle over the Expos defense looks like this it is going to be Barrett behind the plate Cabrera and Mordecai make up the middle of the infield Bradley with a good arm and a good defensive centerfielder Smith and Guerrero on the corners tatis and stevens in the infield and there is a look at Matt bling making his first big-league start there's what he did at triple-a last year 13 games as a reliever didn't really do too well as a reliever but Pete I just looking at his mile in their book that was really his first experience as a reliever he did a heck of a job coming up through their system as a starting pitcher ready to make his first major league start tonight first pitch to kill vo Harris is taken low and inside ball one it was kind of an emergency guy at the beginning of last year when Graham Lloyd went down for the Expos they needed one more left-hander in their bullpen and even though playing head experience as a reliever they kept him [Music] and then he suffered a stress fracture in his forearm well he was rehabbing he had a tightness in his forearm and he went back down to Jupiter to rehab and while he was rehabbing with the strain and the muscle they located that stress fractures he was out for the rest of the year June 1 2 nice convenient Hochberg Cabrera throws him out one gone well if he's on get ready to see that he likes to pitch down in the strike zone he has a four seam fastball but consistent is a two-seamer downy as a slider as a curveball in terms of all over on a changeup but I think more than anything out of him you can expect to see the fastball from going down and away from right-handers Rafael Furcal batting 245 he had a couple of hits last night drove in a run one of those hits his fourth homer of the year and he takes ball one from blank / collet 378 hitter right-handed this year another ground ball again too short again Cabrera Jimin out to play there by Stevens at first the ball can sail the alley helped himself to by not being totally committed towards short she's like the first baseman who make the best plays and who make the hard place look the easiest are the ones who wait late to commit see what direction the ball is going to go before they stretch out to go after it to away for Andrew hitting 285 with 13 home runs drove in a run with an infield hit last night an account that blank out of Texas am that's his for singing fastball he'll cut it in on right-handers [Music] here's the l1 speed nothing into and with a big break in perfect spot for here's where you find out something about him you got a good hitter up there let's see what he tries to do with two strikes all the way is still nothing into might be a little nervous making his first major league start but it's a lot easier after you've been in the big leagues for a month or so like he was last year pitching out of the bullpen here's the l2 one ball two strikes the only hitter in the Braves lineup that has ever faced him at the major league level is Bernard yogi Wes Helms knows a little bit about him facing in the triple-a got him to chase a pitch down and away and blank has a one two three bottom half of the first inning no score after one [Music] Wednesday night on GPS superstation Nicolas Cage is having one of those days Bridget Fonda is having one of those lives but everything is about to

facing Lee Stevens to start things he was the guy putting on the show at batting practice for Montreal tonight with the wind blowing afterward right he was watching and a homerun here last night but last night's over I was on line drive I got out of here in a hurry didn't 250 with nine homers we're also always had some pretty good cuts against left-handed pitching here's the one Oh Anthony is one of always right one or two now in Stevens who's coming off a twenty two home run year with the expose last year his best year was 24 with Texas two years ago do it to Bo Dallas Perez this concern until probably well founded when you come back with a lot of rest you don't worry about strength and usually after the first inning the edges off and you're comfortable saying OK for a while just 90 percent just stay comfortable and it'll work ground ball to chipper sounds nice pick on the other end god hey it's not this easy chipper had to go to his right plant and throw ball sailed a little on him but Wes Helms looked like he'd been doing that forever made it look awfully nice one gone in the top half of anything number two now Fernando Tati's hitting 254 with a couple of home runs just reactivated a couple of days ago and on the disabled list back out three times in the game last night they had a torn muscle in his right shoulder he's gonna find it a little harder to get pitches to get in this lineup especially where he's hitting than he did where he was placed in that st. Louis lineup there was protection all around him over there so he got a lot more pitches to handle especially if they keep hitting him in this part of the batting was not a whole lot down below the number 6 spot in the Montreal order when bead rose back you know he's going to be somewhere in the front end of the lineup and apparently they feel more comfortable with Bradley up Ned and somewhere down I could envision tatis hitting third in this lineup before they're through well he hit third last night that's a good spot form with Guerrero hitting behind you you will get more pitches to handle with Guerrero behind you 2 & 2 now on Fernando Tati's [Music] and the 2-2 pitch on the way from Oh Dallas Perez that's filed back still 2 & 2 one more game in this series tomorrow afternoon it'll be Greg Maddux against Javier Vasquez then the Braves have load they call it an off day it's actually a packing day on Thursday before a 13 day 12 game road trip begins Friday night in Pittsburgh here's the tutu an off-speed pitch that's the first strikeout for a Galvez Perez out number two in the second inning the man will bring up the left fielder Mark Smith you got a couple of left-handers out there tonight showing you some good changes speeds earlier that he says now struck out four times and five at-bats in this series Mark Smith just up from triple-a is hitting 143 with an RBI since his call-up just 1 for 7 he was only hitting 207 at triple-a ball in Ottawa but he at a club leading six home runs down there with 17 RBIs in the right field should be easy for Brian Jordan very easy in Dallas Perez Montreal goes one two three still no score [Music] earlier today Ted went to Napa and because it was the race in the Napa sale and he spent $40 they gave him a free Napa Racing t-shirt molded into the shape of Napa's NASCAR Winston Cup car I sure left it in the package the race into Napa sale at participating napa auto parts store the NAPA Auto Care Center this

Andersen representative assured that signatures authenticity here available at mlb.com team Clubhouse stores or call one eight seven seven card MLB for a store near you I'm Paul crane at CNN sports illustrated with updates of other games including the Phillies in New York throwing the unbeaten Omar Dahl against the Mets Billy starts the night six and a half ahead of the Braves 10 in front of the Mets dad Vienna hits one into the rain in the first inning Doug Glanville chases but has trouble that becomes a triple like Vienna would score and Mike Piazza groundout the Mets and Kevin a fear of a one nothing lead now in the third is the back two people die okay thank you Paul okey but I Ament iam all night long for you with the Phillies six and a half games up on the Mets Chipper Jones leading off the bottom half of the second swung at the first pitch from Matt blank sinking fastball and as we told you earlier when he's on expect to see a lot of ground balls so chipper still without a hit in this series now Brian Jordan to 69 with five homers 1 for 3 in the series thinking low and inside ball one no score bottom half of inning 2 to know the count on Jordan [Music] three balls no strikes Matt blank falling behind Matt blank a headline writers dream as an intern named blank there are all sorts of possibilities they're throw-in blanks what they put on the back of his jersey nothing just left it blind ball four to Brian Jordan I was trying to think of a picture that he reminded me of his style of pitching what he's trying to accomplish probably good Road mind you a lot of left-handers who'd like to turn the ball over but there was another Texas A&M Aggies named Doug rau he pits out they're out away a little bit of a sinker had a curve ball coming you got it looks like it even a little bit of me could be out of that family yeah there's Javy Lopez Bobby one for three last night 252 with five homers and 15 runs driven in runner at first one out and he takes a stripe in the outside corner down and away down and away then a four seamer in and a sweeping curveball down and in at the feet of right-handers the o1 pain inside missed one ball one strike when you watch a pitch a guy who is a sinker ball it's almost like from our angle here the two-seam fastball doesn't spin it's tight so it's almost like that four seamer looks a little bit lighter and a little bit wider pretty well into right field heading for third Brian Jordan heading for second Javy Lopez runners at second and third Guerrero sort of lost track of where he was out there he had more room than he thought once he got to that warning track he acted like he thought he was right up against the wall well he missed played a couple of balls against the Braves last year Javy goes the other way he has roomed the run yet but jumps a little bit early and he was really kind of casual at the beginning going after that instead of racing back there and positioning himself to catch it that ball didn't even hit the wall Jorden in good position to go back if it's caught but to make it easily the third if it wasn't so now runners are at second and third with one out and Bernard Gilkey the hitter yoky 304 on the year of the homer three RBIs it's just off the inside corner ball one I know it's probably backwards strategy but with the guy who thirst almost all sinkers I think I'd be tempted to bring the infield in that evens it now one ball one strike and goki the double by Javy Lopez his seventh double of the year I'll tell you why three of the four outs recorded have been ground balls too short and if he hits a ball in the outfit you're not gonna do anything about it anyway but if he hits the ball on the ground you have conceded or run here in the 1-1 one on yogi as Rick Rennick the bench coach consulting with Felipe Alou now back to and to Felipe Alou the senior statesman among major league Managers he's gonna be 66 years old this year in fact he celebrated birthday number 66 about two weeks ago [Music] he's one of those guys that it seems like they'll always be 35 but to tune in the air to left field deep enough to get the run in should be Moxon F is to make the catch tagging a third heading on home Brian Jordan Atlanta Barnard guilty with the RBI there's more to the year [Music] so I've two men out now with a runner at second Wes Helms the batter kept it off the ground and if he can't get a base yet make it productive out [Music] Helms at 210 with four homers and thirteen runs driven in and walk it face the picture of Dallas Perez with a base open here the second walk issued by a blank this is the one hitter in the lineup that handsome at-bats against blank and triple-a ball [Music] so they'll go ahead and put Helms on and go after a Dallas Perez one more intentionally wide one do see how Wes helm not exactly taking a nap one I throw that if perchance one wanders over the strike zone you want to be ready to hack at it now Perez will try to help himself here runners first and second and two men out Alice 1 for 14 on the air that one hit was an RBI double I think if I were those Expos guys leaning on the front rail I'd be alive over there most of them have their half their bodies up above you could be in prime territory to get one whistle over there Laurette normally makes contact zone he struck out four times in fourteen advanced on the outside corner it's one in tune out of Alice Perez two strikes he's thrown for Rezo two strikes he'd like to be able to throw through the eight other guys in this low note here's the one to animist inside to into Braves pitchers for the most part over the last decade they've done a pretty good job at the bat this year's particular group hitting under a hundred nine 493 that's unusual usually the pitching staff for Atlanta has a much better number than that about 170 normally ever usually they have one or two guys over 200 down and strike so Dallas Perez and that'll do it for Atlanta in the bottom of the second second strikeout for Matt flank a sac fly by bernard Gilkey gets a run on the board one nothing atlanta as we head to the third [Music] [Music] hello I'm working with a great taste that won't fill you up and never let you down make it a Bud Light if the battery in your car is more than three years old it may not make it through another hot summer you see heat is murder on a battery so play it safe and replace yours now don't let your old battery leave you stranded get to Autozone and pick up a new battery for your car today [Music] every day a mérida helps more people with money problems people like Tom Baker my credit card debt with outrageous then I caught a merit debt they contacted my creditors and got my favorites almost cut in half now I have only one small monthly bill Ameri debt is a nonprofit organization that offers free consultations to consumers seeking to eliminate their debt people like the Shaw's every month I pay our credit card bills but the bounces ever see me get smaller the merry debt got our interest rates reduced and now the balances are dropping dramatically and what's even more amazing is our payments are less than before just call this number and regardless of your credit in minutes you can join the thousands of people who have turned financial lives around people like Maria Rinaldi before I called them there that the creditors were calling every day I thought bankruptcy was the only way out now I'm debt free and my credit rating at end of story [Music] well you are how would you like to run through the office depot scoreboard for us Cubs are at Cincinnati Cincinnati just got three and lead that went 3-2 to Florida put a two spot on the board in the top of the fourth inning against Pittsburgh Omar Dahl six and oh but the Mets got one in the first inning that's the score everything else coming up a little bit later on in the National League over in the American League only one game with anything going on yet Cleveland got one in the first the Tigers came up with two in the third it is 2 to 1 as Cleveland comes to bat in the top of the fourth hitting everything else a little bit later on and that your office depot scoreboard michael barratt leading off the third from Montreal they exposed Cantor out of the Atlanta area getting to 30 with a couple of home runs two hits last night in three at-bats open stance but pretty much a right field hitter Braves leading and won nothing one ball one strike pretty well hit left-center field Bernard Gilkey drifting back still going still going can't get it one hops the wall bare it on his way to second and he'll take the turn there before holding on with a leadoff double its first off-speed pitch that Oh Dallas Perez has gotten up and even the guy who tries to drive the ball the other way when he has a changeup that comes in belt high and down the middle of the plate has chance to react it was a long run for guilty almost made the catch [Music] I think Barrett just for an instant thought that ball had gone over the fence just before he got to second base he kind of slowed down and then sped up again when he saw it one off the wall well sometimes when the ball goes down on that surface out there track it's the same color as the ball and it's hard to tell is it bouncing up off of it or is it coming down onto it blank we'll try to bunt him over takes a strike the surface on that warning track that Don was talking about no one going to see if when he squares around the bunt he has most of the weight back away from the plate because he leaned in wanted to and check the grip on the bat too I know every organization teaches different styles of buddy but most teams square around commit yourself get the left hand up and behind the label on the back get the bat out there hold it around the letters and don't fund it anything above it take it down to the ball and let the ball let it deaden itself against the ball that's that's a jam and that's the second strikeout that was Perez one gone back to the top of the order now an Orlando Cabrera Barrett applied to right leading off the game runner at second with one out now raised up 1-nothing I'm the Barnard guilty sac-fly in the bottom of the second I was looking at the schedule before tonight's game down because of the off days the phrase of the night and Thursday another one next Monday it might be another 10 days before Perez starts another game and you know what I don't know how a lot of people took is saying that he just wants to pitch and doesn't like being out of rotation I took that as a guy who wants to pitch one of the things that you've heard me say that from date and heard me say this from day one I really don't like to hear anybody say I'm just happy to be you because there's a pretty good chance they are yeah he thinks he's good enough to pitch in the big leagues but what he said today is I realized there's Maddux and Glavine and Smoltz I understand it I just don't like them able to pitch so he didn't say put me in there leave me out there he just says I I believe I can pitch and I want to pitch I think you got to like that it wasn't a belligerent attitude and unfortunately sometimes what happens in the newspaper article is headline writers don't write the articles and the guys who write the articles don't write the headlines so sometimes headlines can mislead you to the content of the brand one now under Brera and the article we're talking about was in today's Atlanta journal-constitution and I think too if you were to go back and talk to Leo Mazzoni what came out his statement about it was not what he meant either because his statement was well he's just he's on a starting staff and the big leagues they ought to be happy with that and I know Leo well enough to know he didn't mean that that way in the air to right field that's got some carry to it as well Jordan Frankie's got it Barrett will tag at second move over to third and there are two men out now with Mike Mordecai new up Mordecai singled in the first inning the only other hit off of no Thomas Perez the exception of the Michael Barrett double in this inning [Music] two men out runner at third be careful on the first pitch tomorrow especially with strength well harness so far they stayed away from that first pitch both at-bats have been off-speed and a breaking ball put a little wrinkle in it because if it's a straight one Michael come out of both shoes to hack at a fastball in the first pitch and there was a stretch to when he didn't miss any of them here's the o1 outside corner at the knees nothing into here's the o2 in a right field based hit boy that's a good job of hitting my Mordecai he didn't try to do too much with that one he was behind in the count oh and two and you could tell by that swing was a very defensive swing it's trying to put it in place somewhere and it winds up tying up the game you see a lot of successful hitters who were offensive for strikes 1 & 2 and defensive after that not that bad of a pitch watch from this angle that's off the outside corner but Mordecai the thing probably that allowed him to do it was if it was up a little but well you sum that up perfectly you get to try to do too much with it just put it in play where it was pitched his fifth RBI of the year ties the game at one third hit off Perez and it brings up Milton Bradley takes ball one Bradley into a 5-4 horse play his first time up back out ball one-strike he's a switch-hitter who has really struggled as a right-handed banner this year hitting this 146 from this side of the plate Oh Dallas Perez using the more conventional delivery from the stretch I talked to Leo Mazzoni down in Florida about that and he said well we had two steps number one we wanted to teach him a slide step to use to keep runners close but then the second part of that is teaching when to use it strike on the outside corner one and two there's a lot of times and I would venture to say most pictures when they change what is normal for them to accommodate a different delivery something has to give and a lot of times it can be the control that was a good one there not sure though he has to really be that tricky with Mike Mordecai behind kik there and just missed outside two and two I think we watched him a couple times working from the stretch with a runner on third using the slide step the slide steps purposes with a runner on first that you think is going to go to get the ball to the plate quicker and to add a little bit of a variety and the way you do it here's the two to hold count 3 and 2 the runner will be off and moving on this pitch with Vladimir Guerrero waiting on deck now see you're not holding him on you've got two outs Wes Helms is back this is not a time for sliding step this is the time to do whatever it takes to make your best pitch of the end he struck him out third strikeout of the game leaving that runner at first but the RBI single by Mordecai has tied the game 1-1 as we head to the bottom of the third for every action has been a problem there is a greater reaction you two make a cute couple [Music] the replacements are here to finish their ma don't confuse love with skill shall you and fat Mira Sorvino the replacement killers Thursday 10:15 p.m. Eastern only on the superstation [Music] yeah yeah didn't I tell you to use come out by now I know we've been through this before look either snow mount fuel additives unclogged fuel injectors to help reduce hesitation good doesn't want to go through this again Jesus would be absolute tires with traction advantage [Music] for control you can feel no matter what roads you choose be up to these tires take control [Music] [Applause] we're talking about blanket a two-seam and four-seam fastball just what we're talking about if you look at the way a baseball is constructed there's an area where it's narrow here if you pull with those usually did you'll get this kind of spin now if you look the other way there are four seams spinning if you get the poor seam spinning that's a more consistent spin what causes a ball to move is the resistance of the air to these seams for seems like this you're going to get a little hop you get a little hop a little ride but it's usually a lot straighter with two seams you can get uneven spin and usually if you pull over the side a little with it it'll go down and away from from left-handers right here pulled this way it'll go that way to left-handers if a left-hander does it to a righty it'll go that way that's two seams this is for see the difference in the fastball and it's a one and two count down kill vo Varys who lines this one fouled on the right side still one and two Varys rounded out to short his first time I worked very hard so did not to see the Mets in the game world I tried to cover it up and what I did a pretty good job of that maybe did how come the Mets logo is still so shiny in the Yankee logo is so worn because the Yankees beat on that side of it often I've seen doing to the count on kill Bo Varys guess you have to work harder the win Varys Furcal and Jones do up here in the bottom of the third game tied at one and that blanks due to is popped up foul out of play right side and this is one of those typical Phil vo varus at-bats once you get him to two strikes get ready for some foul balls in most cases and that was a typical four seam fastball up you the two seamer with a little sink you might hit it on the ground the four seamer up it's awfully hard to put it in the play anyplace but straight up in a right-center field base hit for Calvillo that gives him an 11 game hitting streak after that slow start this year Calvillo has really gotten him going it will take a while for it to be reflectiveness overall batting average for the season because that had gotten down so low but it's been a very steady gradual climb upward for about the last three weeks now Rafael Furcal who grounded out to short his first time out let's see how the Braves play it here up by one Bobby Cox might hit and run tied he might opt to bunt him over taking ball one inside the low or call with three sacrifices among the non pitchers that's the most on the club gene Mauch used to love to bunt against young pitchers and his reasoning was he and give them one more task to perform now you got a guy making his first big-league start that's a lot to think about but he give him a ball to feel who knows you might disrupt his thinking he might disrupt his timing but it's one more task to perform do another counter for called who has not shown any indication that he was going to bunt yet nothing looks like he's acting just that possibility Matisse's and he's concerned is that possibility and concerning yourself with kill vo varus might have caused blanked about we knew is cracked in as much in control as he was earlier you're right Peter deep thanks to catch now this one only various one Andruw Jones will be the hitter he struck out his first time the best pitching sequence of the night was blank - Andrew Joe fastball in with some giddy up on it breaking ball down and in breaking ball missed that a changeup down and away changeup after a breaking ball more often than not to a hitter will look like a fastball usually the school of thought is if you throw a changeup and in a curveball you the hitters timing is already adjusted to half speed but if you throw a curveball and follow it with a changeup then his thinking my team's a fastball and you disrupt the timing with the change of speed he had a record of five and four at Ottawa did play for the 394 in run average a ball one one man half kill vo Varys at first and who's been getting good plate coverage it's allowed him to get some hits on some off-speed pitches that weren't all the way off the plate one of the ones right way away away for blank every now and then he'll come in on the other well he started Andrew and earlier but now it looks like with the possibility of a double play he's gone away away away with everything they're missed two in one changeup fastball changeup and I've missed outside three and one maybe get himself in a little bit of a jam here trying to make two perfect pitches it'll let the hitter get himself out gonna be trying to make him make it out [Music] here's the three one it's grounded foul both gown and back quite a bit more over the plate with Vantage that's three and two on Andrew we'll see if Paris is taking off here wonderful oops call in some of the pictures we come out again the throw down a second buy a pair I'd write on the money about it right into the runner the ball and the runner kill via Paris arrived at just about the same time so kill vo gets the stolen base a little bit more painfully than he expected and Andruw Jones down on strikes for the second time tonight good pitch to run on it was a changeup it was down Barrett had to catch it then unload made the throw a little bit to the second base side if the second baseman Mordecai is able to hang on to it he's got the out both those guys are lucky somebody didn't get hurt at the back here and I'm Chipper Jones with a runner at 2nd gokyo Baris in the credit for his fourth stolen base of the Year chipper jumped on the first pitch first time up thanks for download ball 1 dipper down to 272 now he's over 3 in this series two hits in his last 29 at-bats that's a long drought for him they really and as much as he likes to deliver and as much as he accept those accepts the responsibility for being an offensive threat in the middle of Allina you know it has to be again and he's openly said there have been a couple of ball games I know I cost us because I had a bad at bat when we got a chance to break it open here's the one one they conversed rifle in him too it might be a little bit of a break getting him against a left-hander in this game he's really struggled for the most part from the left side still hitting over 300 right-handed this year most of the at-bats during the slump have been as a left hand [Music] one tune in the air to centerfield it's deep Bradley going back still going [Music] Chipper Jones in his 13th homer RBIs number 33 and 34 the brave take a burrito on leave [Applause] hit selection and a good swing maybe just what the doctor ordered for Chipper Jones we happening but offered on anything off-speed he rolled over and after getting at the two strikes let's trick him inside it didn't get there and that's one of the best swings he's had in two weeks 13 home runs 34 runs driven in for tip for Jones Braves leave it down 3 2 1 when Jordan first pitch swinging grounds one right to the tea secured across the first in time [Music] in the third inning but a two-run homer by Chipper Jones and the Braves have a three-to-one lead [Music] [Music] Appling without it no insurance is complete if you keep dog you know we're

that's on where they hit him and everything else baseball straight from the source mlb.com connect with it three one Braves top of the fourth inning it's time for our Aflac trivia question and if you know the answer to this when you are indeed a baseball friend Pam Nolan Ryan won 324 ball games do you know who saved his 300th career win happened in a 1990 season and that's our Aflac trivia question think about that one for a while we'll give you the answer in the bottom half Vladimir Guerrero I know is not the correct answer but he is the leadoff hitter here in the fourth I think you went down to second his first time up he has disrupted a few shots at him down the middle prick off the strength nothing into now see how hard he hit that ball down the right-field line he is just as liable to put someone down the left-field line and my other Cubs had an outburst look cox unloads basketball out away from him he doesn't get cheated on any anywhere here's the o2 I know a one ball two strikes watching the expose take batting practice today Philippe Alou is always out there when they when they hit but right alongside him is there any coach Tad Rossler and I did notice that when it's time for vladimir teatro serda starts talking to somebody else there's nothing for him to do or say here I mean it just this guy has got such a natural hitting ability and he is so unorthodox and a lot of the things he does you just don't want to change anything so you just let him go he'd just get a short skirt and some pom-poms here's the - - now throw it sharply off the glove of Furcal he recovers and throws who gets him [Applause] [Music] well he can cause some infielders to have their lives flash in front of him that's what hoes write about shoot ops well you can't blame a guy for olay in this just a little bit getting a little bit to the side and getting leather on it but boy isn't a strong arm a great thing to have you can knock a ball down and still get a fast runner by a step one out at least Stevens who grounded out to third his first time Guerrero for a second you see where that pitch will shoot top high that doesn't matter it doesn't matter with him there was no way to put a book together and how to pitch him and since you can't put the book together and how to pitch him trying to put a book together and how to set the defense against him is even more impossible from left-handed batters box to right-handed batters box from shoelaces to Kathy the strike zone and he might pull it he might hit it the other way he might hit it up to him the one thing you can count on pretty good chance he's going to hit it hard to him on the count now and Lee Stevens one out here in the fourth another ground ball a little more routine variety this time and quickly to are gone here in the fourth inning and now Fernando Tati's who has had trouble making contact in this series he grounded out to third in the first inning last night then struck out three straight times and he struck out his first time tonight so he's got a string of four consecutive strikeouts working here [Music] the trainer's work is never done is it the day after a first victory since 1999 now these the best efficient one ball no strikes but he is not punishing good folks that's part of the stretching two men out bases empty in a to Adele count and tatties Braves up three to one after a Chipper Jones Homer [Music] good night for smokes last night I thought his curveball and slider was really good last night maintained his velocity and his strength all the way into the seventh inning [Music] now to unpitched to Tati's in the air to right-center not very deep here comes Jordan and it's a 1-2-3 inning again for Oh Dallas Perez still a three to one Atlanta lead we'll show you how the Cubs build up that big lead over Cincinnati when we get back [Music] I can do this wallpaper does not scare me I think you do pretty with anything I hate this picture no job is too big how many bow

for just a little ball crane at CNN Sports Illustrated Cubs and Cincinnati Reds took a 3-2 lead to the fourth it's tied bases loaded for Sammy Sosa who goes the other way and that becomes a three-run double rondell white with later hit a three-run homer in a seven-run inning Cubs now lead nine three in the fifth back to people dying okay thank you Paul sensing he's gonna have to get back in the road yeah what sammy sosa do you get the ball down the right-field line a lot of things that are little backwards this year in Major League Baseball one ball no strikes and Javy Lopez living somewhere some people our position in the standards Billy is up now to to one of the nuts in the fifth inning Omar doll trying to win his seventh straight game that I 6a no only won four games all of last year for 19 or 19 three runs three hits for the Braves only one run three hits for the Expos were in the fourth inning a lot of different ways to keep your arm warm in between innings from Dallas Perez one of those that just wraps a towel some guys put on a full jacket everyone they just gave you the one arm sleeve I also remember that on occasion walking into our wood but you feel good but he felt he had to wear something out on the basement on the left arm right header I could never quite figure that out here the three two walk to Javy Lopez that's only the eighth time he's walked all years third walk issued by Mike hey let's refresh your memory is the Aflac trivia question I don't know this one this one do we save nolan Ryan's 300 or oh we remember before you show the answer usually it's related to somebody in the band I'm trying to figure out who alright let's go look on the expose bench over there on their bench is their pitching coach there's Brad arms Burt he's saved you've got to save and no one Ryan's 301 about that that's when I apply trivia question never were to guess that he was with the Texas Rangers at the target [Music] Bernard yogya sac-fly his first time up what other dough turn at feedings July 31st 99 get him against Milwaukee when they were still in the American League he went six and one he had a 215 earned run average or you good coming out of the bin for the ring to be only had six saves in his whole career live ball pretty well at left centerfield yeah but how about having one like that in your residence that's unbelievable because with only six saves in your whole career to say that one of them was nolan Ryan's 300th win you can build a big career out of that game [Music] that's about what a Ryan fastball looked like here's West elves he walked his first time up intentionally well hit the right-center Vladimir Guerrero has had a little trouble on these but he got to that one okay for a guy who's that good of an outfitter don't you get the feeling doesn't he make you uncomfortable something he does he yes very awkward routes that he takes going back on a ball and a gangly elbows kneecaps and then at the last second makes the grab but he never looks like the guy that you know has it under control from the get-go makes most of the plays now a Dallas Perez a strikeout victim his first time two outs of me my mother fourth when a chopper on the right side one ball one strike and Perez see me over in the expose dugout they think his bass gonna be just a little bit slower this time so they have cleared out from Brad irons bird all the way down the other way that's a vacant area of which he was taking aim at last time do flanks ranks man again fourth strikeout for the Montreal left-hander and we into the fifth inning is still a three to one Atlanta lead Jean fished the sea from dusk till dawn leaving his skin tight and drawn no ordinary soapy new did what Irish spring allo could unlike some deodorant soaps either

bankers I think he can vote up to 10 times I think I saw that he's gonna make the total even more a couple of all-stars for the year 2021 and it's going to be mark smith leading off here in the fifth inning don't you wonder if you could save all these videotapes of all these major league telecasts that go out over the airwaves here in you're out and they always take shots of kids in the stands of blood somewhere in that group is the future superstar wouldn't you love to be able to go back and get that one picture 20 years from now I'm still able to see 20 years from now yet Mark Smith flied to right his first time up the o1 ball one strike the Braves here at the stadium occasionally show in there 10 years of great baseball some of the clips from some of the guys when they were just kids and younger they add a look then that lets you know something good was that going to happen later on didn't it yeah and you can talk with some of the current Braves players who grew up in the southeastern part of the country and they'll tell you about a trip to Atlanta and they went to a Braves game who knows maybe in one of the crowd shots they were a part of the picture I want that job to answer all those tapes and trying to find that individual shot but you know maybe 25 years from now that none man right there may be leading the National League and hit him Laurita one one thing he doesn't want to do when he is leaving the nationally good pitching though is walk the leadoff guy when you got a three to one lead that's the first walk issued by Oh Dallas Perez and now Michael Barrett will hit he's had a good series he doubled his first time up his third hit in four trips in the series used the right field side last night I think that he's more comfortable going that way but got a changeup about belt high and crossed up the defense's first get back the to michael barratt took in some brave add to I remember him it was June 4th of 1992 why you're just sitting right off to the left of the screen there caught a pop fly and that's the night skip said yeah that guy from Pace Academy made that exactly right that's who that was yes that unique ability to know where everybody is from when they that's pop lies oh and one on Barret hernán one ball one strike three runs three hits for Atlanta one run three hits for the Expos we're in the fifth inning Montreal drop two and a three in Philadelphia before coming here they go home to play the fillings right after this series the end of the bath number one here in the fifth inning and you saw kill vo Baris make that play didn't even hesitate didn't even look ii take asher out you might a turn you could've forced something but you also had the runners body between varus and Furcal so you short me inning by an out now the pitcher Matt Blanc he struck out his first time up peek down the third-base coach Jeff Cox to see if they want a Bunning again here but that Runner is already at second although strikes every struck out mudding the first time up he looks a lot more comfortable approaching the ball as a hitter than he did his abundant where's a swinger here's the one Oh one ball one strike on blank Tech sarcana Texas is where he was born he lives now in Arlington Texas grew up in the Dallas area [Music] off the glove of Perez nice play for girls fitting and throwing the first night in time almost a super play by Rafael for Carla made a great stop but wasn't able to make the spin and throw in time to get blank and runners and now at first and third wasn't able to make it cleanly it took him a second to get the ball out of the glove get a grip and that was the difference that extra heartbeat that it took him to do that see he does look better as a swinger than as a butter lot of range for free call right right there the glove rolled up the ball rolled up the the fingers of the glove and before he could grab it first major league hit that's worth a smile and there at first and third now with one out for Orlando Cabrera hustling that into a did he he didn't the slow poke it down the first base line Phillies have up their lead three to one now over the Mets [Music] one ball no strikes and Cabrera Smith 1/3 blanket first you know I think sometimes the Dallas Perez when something like this happens like a lot of young pitchers maybe tries to take to make too much happen instead of just trusting the stuff in the movement no reason to change what he's been doing here into right field that's a base hit for Cabrera down a second goes Matt Blake it's now a one-run Atlanta lead it's now 3 to 2 that's RBI number 22 of the air for Atlanta Cabrera out away from in but that's that's what the reason the Greg Maddux calls guys like this hackers it did you can't defense also that run in credit to blank for hustling himself into that base hit keep them going that may start a moving it is for the start of moving in the Braves bullpen Jason Marquis will begin loosening as Mike Mordecai steps in marnik I 2 for 2 we're looking at those scores a moment ago and you saw the Phillies up on the Mets again 3 to 1 if you noticed in the last just 2 or 3 days how many general managers have come out and said oh yeah Larry Bowa was high in my list when we were about to hire a manager last time around he didn't hear that during the hiring process yeah but now that Bo has been so successful with the Phillies we've been two or three of minutes ago yeah yeah well it's one of the top two guys on my list a lot of those guys predicted the Beatles would be big too lot of their fathers they predicted that in 1989 on the outside corner for a called strike two or one Mordecai two for two and it always tickles me to see all that people that jump on the bandwagon when some team or somebody gets it going in the right direction near the o1 nothing into and the Mordechai I don't even think larry bowa was number one on ad Wade's list he hasn't he had the stare right he really had the cell add weight on keeping him there because he came in there with some baggage there there was the big big fear it's what kept him away from managing for over ten years after that San Diego situation where he really lost control so much that they teams are a little bit afraid to hire Mordechai goes down and strikes it's the fourth strikeout for a Dallas Perez and it'll bring up Milton Bradley now with runners first and second and 2000 himself even said I wasn't prepared for that job and I think part of the selling job he did with ed Wade was to convince him that he was different he had changed he had mellowed he said and I believe I read a quote where he said all the things fiery about me that were good I've kept but he said I've kind of smooth the edges a little bit there's Milton Bradley now got the fastball by him or one three two Braves leading by a run in the top half of the fifth inning with two outs this is a big guy for Oh Dallas Perez to get out because I don't think you want Vladimir Guerrero hitting and it's not even bad to hold him to a single a single probably won't score the pitcher from second where you would like to have lad Amir Guerrero is leading off an inning with nobody on which is what he was doing in the fourth inning so Bradley's come up a couple of times in spots like this to outs and runners on base and Vladimir Guerrero waiting in the on deck circle made the third out in the third inning with that in mind now you have two strikes no need no need for a couple of pitches to throw anything in the strike zone let him do the fishin neo2 and he almost tasted one ball two strikes now he set up a couple of things he saw there that he almost swung at that out away from him come back there again probably what Oh Dallas Perez would like to do he loves the change-up and you've shown a guy a fastball up and away this good spot to drop that changeup down in the way that'll be out of play and it's still a volunteer strikes right back there repeated the pitch this Montreal Club has been the king of the solo homers this year they've hit 47 home runs but 36 of them have been solo shot so they have not had many of those three run homers that every manager loves only 11 home runs this year with runners on base and Bradley not really a home run candidate he only has one in espanol mucho cambio the one - that was the change-up but it wasn't where he wanted it - I do all right with a young pitcher struggling looking at those two guys which one with the pitching coach the one who looks like he's sitting in an anthill beauty and struck him out that strikeout of the game and Perez is out of the inning no further damage done an RBI single by Orlando Cabrera gets one end though and it's now a 3-2 Atlanta leave [Music] I like to the band with a great taste that will fill you up and never let you down make it a floodlight get in the zone Auto Zone if the battery in your car is more than three years old it may not make it through another hot summer you see heat is murder on a battery so play it safe and replace yours now get in the zone don't let your old battery leave you stranded get to Auto Zone and pick up a new battery for your car today get in the zone long ago when the gift of fire came to earth the first keepers of the flame emerged they were the ones who nurtured it preserved and time they learned the pleasures of the open flame and they passed this learning the long across the bridge of years and so fire came into our modern times and the new keeper of the flame emerged one who's brought all of man's skills to bear making it easier than ever before to grill over an open flame so the tradition could continue the towers and tears [Music] papers of the blame say what Joe Oh Dallas Perez just kept himself in the ball game with those two strength out stand at 50 like he was going he probably had a sense that if he didn't get Milton Bradley he might be out of the ballgame and he rallied to get a couple of strikeouts especially the one against Mike Mordecai who already had two hits off of him but for the Braves as important I think the fact that Chipper Jones is out of that to 429 slide he was in and had the big home run we're back on top that was good to see it wasn't that Oh Dallas toyed with Bradley but he got him with a change of pace he's filming the game was we go to the bottom half of the fifth inning q of killdeer various leads enough own 1 the count there's one for two that's trouble oh and to the count [Music] good thing about the sitting street from Silvio is his batting everything the first confidence - especially the leadoff spot he's been on base so much his 12 gamer was early last year from April 18th the may purse yeah it was headed for a great great year last year Chile got her 1 & 2 the count find in the center-field there's a basic he does it again in city with a lot of confidence late not afraid to work the count I mistake by blanket Radley with playing meanwhile the tabloids in New York I understand the rumor that our pal Stan Caston may be taking over Madison Square Garden Dave Checketts resigned a week or so ago stan has no comment about those rumors but he's a native New Yorker as is his wife Ellen how could he ever good to work with is that why well he wouldn't Gudrun forepaugh does his job had probably time trying to for hit pop the ball up but boy look what he did there he got the bat out in front and placed it nicely down the first baseline blanks only play was the first good job if Stan took that job I doubt that he would relinquish the jobs we have here just have the Knicks in the brain runner at second one out you've never done that before the president of I don't different I don't think so [Music] I don't see any way he could do it because he'll miss us so that Darwin cou beyond who worked here last night loosening up and they're both members spent a couple of times tonight on good changeup though chin music there had been away away away and now message to let him know not to lean out over the plate somebody puts himself in a rough spot of - oh kitsch three balls no strict that blank signed out of Texas A&M by Mexico super staff through Jordan we have slowed to a walk here now we're ready to go will I turn them loose we'll never know runners at first and second one out fourth walk four blank and here comes fetching Felipe makes the pitching changes to this it's funny it mat blank was bitching pretty well at Ottawa had some good numbers and it's ironic that he gets called up the pitch tonight after what was proudly his worst outing over here for Ottawa last start we gave up 10 hits and seven runs is everything the Braves Richmond Park farm club is in that same league Marcus Giles now hitting 333 down there what's the kid's name from New Zealand Travis Travis Wilson is struggling in town at 2:26 tripperz last at-bat his first homer since 16th as you can see there straight away Center [Applause] we had that for your life too finally one ball no strikes his first homer right-handed and Reagan a 19 isin for the team lead with Andrea 13 total two balls no strikes boys asking for trouble he's behind every hitter now [Music] was thrown so many change up to look like Andrew was really waiting for a change up even to a no and three and a super be wise to look for the same thing two balls I'm a strength that's inside the Phillies 3:3 and New York is still batting in the sixth trying to get more [Music] we're in one to be honest ready to go if needed and looking up at the scoreboard to see what the count was and figures that a blank loses chipper he'll be in the ball game to pitch to Jordan cool now three and two and a tough decision for Bobby Cox the assembly probably so with the speedy runners on base yeah I think I would because they've got the lead the one-run lead but you gotta let chipper know they're going to so that Vander strikes him just a little bit if he needs to to protect herself there they go squibbed it foul down the first baseline we'll do it all over again there was that changeup again he has pitched backwards almost all night any time Matt blank has been behind an account where it's been two and O or three and one he has gone almost exclusively to off-speed pitches when we've got enough confidence in it to throw it close enough to the plate he's dancing elbows like sideburns working format love life Blanka the three two always there bird 34 that's bad of the year right phantoms Smyrna Georgia came away with that souvenirs we're the change-up that he fouled down the first base line then a fastball is running away from it on the outside part of the plate everything so far dying away from the chipper [Music] there they go there it goes into deep center again he's gotta know [Applause] three-run glass this time [Music] and driven in a run since May 16th he's got five of them tonight blank [Applause] slow her but it was up that was almost the same pitch he threw Silvio's Baris that he was upset about when he gave up the single but you make a mistake like that to chipper and it goes a little bit farther so for the fellow who makes the singular call to the bullpen [Music] [Music] announcing singular the wireless company that believes in the value of self-expression the forces of nature never stop attacking but Thompson's WaterSeal has never been better we give you the highest level of water protection available guaranteed Thompson's WaterSeal now in clear and five natural colors [Music] Paul Crane at CNN Sports Illustrated Phillies in Mets in New York Phills leading 3-1 in the sixth when Mike Piazza shows another sign of breaking out of that slope by launching one off Omar Dahl two pitches after first baseman Travis Lee dropped the foul pop the two-run homer number 13 for Piazza it's three three in the sixth met still batting back to skip enjoy ok Paul thanks very much like another guy hitting one to straightaway

of an inning [Music] gave up a sacrifice fly but picked off Dave Martinez a lotta hoie also here's Brian Jordan with one out nobody on blank for in the third five hits six runs four walks three strikeouts two homers the four-time shippers had a multi home run off of left-handed pitching last one was Randy Johnson last time period that he's had a multi-home run game may 6th against the Cardinals the big right-hander delivers it's a strength on the outside edge join one six-two to Atlanta failing to take 424 feet on that homerun by chipper the other one was 407 1 & 2 it's even now

by Bernard Gilkey Montreal tied it in the third on a base hit by Mike Mordecai but a two-run homer by Chipper Jones in the third and a three-run homer by chipper in the fifth have given the Braves a 6 to 2 lead and Oh Dallas Perez who hasn't started for 10 days has given up a couple of runs on five hits but he's doing just fine given his lack of work in recent days and Vladimir Guerrero is up in a spot where you like to see him nobody on base tonight one ball no strengths he's over two tonight he has lined hard the second grounded short one-on-one the cup five RBIs tonight by chipper his career-high and he figures to get a couple more at-bats in this game so at 5:00 tonight none between none from March 16th Tilden I mean May 16th - light and then 5 up and we're just two-thirds of the way through not even that turn to [Music] you know we drink there you know I complain about more in this game and a half we've seen with the exposed and I ever remember in the previous three or four years that winds up in the seats so it's a strikeout a wild pitch and Guerrero's on people call the talk show all the time saying my Uncle Fred says you can have four strike outs in an inning how well that's how Frank somebody out and they reach base and then strike out three more last brave to do that with mark rollers about five years ago remember strikeout number six for Dallas Stephens courts one into deep left centerfield guilty on the run and that boss skims over the wall a two-run homer for Stevens and just like that at 64 right-handed left-handed doesn't seem to bother him very much boy he has really made himself a good major-league hitter he got better as he got older but what a shame he strike out flat America rare oh and he still gets on base and it's just a head of a home run these Stevens last year war the Braves out he's doing it again this year that's his second home run in as many nights did you see Oh Dallas as Stevens swung the bat he knew he made a mistake and it cost him and his fat piece and there's a base hit to left and all of a sudden they're getting a pretty good look good go Dallas Perez here comes Leo Mazzoni to the mouth he said with our keys up again he was up [Music] by the trip Jason [Music] so mark Smith will be the banner [Music] and any minute now Greg Bonilla will make his way to the mound I won't have to leo and he said what he had to say and headed back to the Atlanta dugout [Music] you know it's funny a guy like Dan Miceli chomping off about his former manager John Bowles and about his coaching staff not having enough my major league experience on it and that may in fact be rape then you see a guy like Leo Mazzoni with absolutely no major league experience when it was respected pitching coaches of the game in the game so plays I think it's probably easier for a guy with a major-league pedigree to get a players attention one-on-one the counselor I think there's some merit to that and the respect that you know they've been through the wars and though you know what it takes especially if they're trying to sell you something on maybe altering your swing a little bit that you're not comfortable with you know thinking well you know what this guy has been here a whole lot longer than I have in the big leagues he probably knows what he's talking about it maybe I ought to try it there we go yes he did 1 & 2 that sort of like my theory they're always trying to tell you what to say if I get fired I wanted to be for something I said not some words somebody else put in my mouth DoublePlay tapper 4-6-3 and our two down I thought kill mule might go for the tag and then the throw but with four calls armed you don't have to wait for that runner to get to you and we post play at first too good thing that tatis got down on the slide at second here's michael barratt one for to a double and a run scored you say this kid lives in West Palm now that's what it's listed yes going down there near the spring training complex

pitch for Montreal as we go to the bottom half of the seventh inning Strickland Owen won a four point one five earned run average this is his 24th appearance of the year the league getting to 65 against him I bet you before it's all over this guy's a closer for somebody he's got pretty good stuff going through the exposed media guide is a nightmare it's so huge because everything in it of course has to be written twice once in French once in English Strickland was four and three last year an earned run average of three and he had nine saves he's out of the University of New Mexico studied criminology for their careers nice compact delivery through strong leg and hip Drive 2 & 1 the count three and one a little bit of that branding got released today by the Texas Rangers or he been released by Texas you must really be struggling cool countdown like get off waivers from Tampa Bay could be another indication the 3-2 pitch how to play again Jane Regan our director tonight blend Amitai producer Lonnie Dale on vacation pretty good battle this is very difficult Silvio Baris leading off the inning at-bat both Danny and and Lonnie are great guys but gonna be honest it's always good to see Danny he dresses so much better [Music] I just lost a friend 3 & 2 the count lost 2 the payoff pitch all the way again he does a lot of this he's got a little Eddie stanky Jean in there somewhere he keeps falling off and they're not just flips up there by Strickland he's Balban 92 or 93 mile an hour fastball Ron hunt Lou Kaplan some other guys and fall for and a good start to the seventh for Atlanta how about that he throws all those fastball mm op so he goes to the second or third best pitch of breaking ball that didn't look too bad you don't feel may have caught a break there he sure did like a good pitch I'm going to say he walked him on the second or third best pitch that that looked like a strike drop the L for Karla better vote for two of the sacrifice [Music] one o'clock TV time tomorrow final game of the series we've talked about his left hand and call it client where we've gotten to quiet down left handed cut down on excess movement at the plate using his hands better and that Holl not heat it last night was a rocket about 15 or 16 rows up in the seat legitimate anywhere look at where this ball landed last night see that there one ball no strikes in the ninth the Cubs lead the Reds 10 to 4 fellas just erupted they lead the Mets seven three and eight and there bill banning burro had another homerun boy he's red hot gotta tip your hat to the Phillies they lost one of their key men Mike Lieberthal and just kept on keepin on strike and a stolen base zoo and 1 the count second stolen base of the night for kill vo and he had a big jump off Strickland into a 3 step before the was ever released in michael barratt got rid of it quickly but his throw was off the mark first wave of the night is broken out here this is about the only ballpark I think where the waves is still in front of the action [Music] trying to bunt his way on clearly runner to third sake run it a second there's nobody covering [Applause] the expose call timeout they should have done that a little earlier here they should have [Music] how ugly was that expose had it played just right but he funded it really hard and there's no time for Mordechai to get over and cover first and with the throat of first actually they probably had a play on Barisan third that the ball was cut off by a tease who's nobody to covered second - Rafi I'll take second on him that he needed to get out of the way [Music] heads-up baserunning Dubai for all weird guys zipping all over the place I reminded you the days of Indiana notice Nixon scored a base hit [Music] and a fielder's choice gets the runner to second I guess the fielder's choice was to just take a big bite out of the baseball because it was nobody to throw through let's look at that again if we can that was me [Music] watch this see Mordecai was kind of help hobo helping hold on kill yo so he was late getting to the bag Stephens came in to cover the bunt make sure you again in just a second we had guys running so many places that they discombobulated our camera the 102 Andrew swung a missed all right one more time you can see Stephens charging at first there's nobody at first and with poor Colin you don't have much time now the throw comes back to third and Cabrera was covering there and he can see Cabrera's reaction like why did you cut the throw where was there he thought that they had kill vo at third that the keys gotten away and cut the throw off Tootie's wanted to throw but there was nobody to throw to it first place two balls in a strength flyball short center runner tags Bradley is in very close he's not going anywhere they're still at second and third with one out I'm going to show you some side angles on tipper slings right-handed tonight what is the drive now his upper body stays against that front foot it doesn't go with his foot it firms up and in stop and that really sped up his back same thing happens to kena the bat gets through because his upper body stayed back look at these points of contact especially this one over here on that swing after you got his front side firmed up stiff front leg and hands really came through [Music] crowds not happy that they're walking chipper but you can certainly see their point second walk for Strickland this one is intentional and Brian Jordan will have a chance to put this one just about out of reach [Music] be upset because he would have had a chance to drive in a career-high six run if not more never had a free home run game well he's gotten used to walking he walks a lot there's nobody else on the team even close to him number 35 in the with 17 so the bases are full of Braves with one out live all that beer that night get the run home here's the catch here he come here right now [Applause] good throw might have got them [Music] this ball wasn't hit very deep but a high hanging slider gave him the chance to get some wood on it Smith had to go a long way but did have a chance to stop and throw back though I thought he was having to throw a little bit more on the run but his throw tails away from home plate and they don't have a shot at don't you good bro gets him easily right and that Yost has had some guys thrown out lately but to his credit he's keeping them running it's the old saying in baseball if you don't get anybody thrown out if you're the third-base coach if you don't get some guys thrown out you're a lousy third-base coach you have to take some chances first and second to up [Music] this guy's got a good fastball to keep you honest but if he was watching that breaking ball to kill vo on the 3-2 pitch breaking ball to Jordan there that was maintainer that might be something to look for early in the count seven for about a why do people what pictures do that I don't know unless they're not settled on the pitch they want to throw and rather than just step off it might try to lure a fast runner into getting picked off nobody covering [Music] breaking ball remember that old fake to third throw to first that make fetters and the Dodgers threw away against us last year Dan rig and toes we did the same thing the other night we all didn't work vo to pitch the inning is over out of all that the Braves gonna run they do it on one hit a couple of runners left at the end of seven seven for Atlanta [Music] you know I don't know what happened to sooner happens in me you mean what she got hurt I mean after no insurance no one it comes to stuff regular insurance doesn't like love pay the other expense what can I get you sir a black without it no insurance is complete

that's got to make you feel good about the hard work you've been putting in chipper when you get to a situation where you're to 429 as you were do you get to the point where you doing maybe think too much you're trying to do too many things worrying about the shoulder and the stride and the hips and all that so so so much concentration goes into you know the hands the stride you know the the body turn and and so much of hitting is just going up there and not thinking about anything and reacting and you know you go through a streak where you know you don't get it you don't get too many hits and then you start tinkering and all of a sudden you screwed yourself up even even more so my dad just but that called me the other day he said hey man just go up there and swing as hard as you can in case you hit one I think that's great advice so what the one I passed along all the time at home were you humming any music in your head tonight I was not unlike your son I was not humming any music but I would have been home in a nice little tune if they'd a pitch to me there that I know you would have nice going Thanks Scheffer congratulations thank you we'd like to thank Chipper Jones for being our guest Home Depot will donate a $100 gift certificate to Habitat for Humanity home depot where low prices are just the beginning we'll be back total tune highlights right after [Music] Jesus rode Beatrice tires with traction advantage [Music] for control you can feel no matter what road you choose BF Goodrich tires take control [Music] preassembled modules that go together fast no tools required new quick set gas grills from char-broil sharp line keepers of the flame why don't you get us something to cool aspire I got just the thing I got to love it [Music] with a great case that we fill you up and never let you down make it up a Bud Light bad yes I came up a little short back then I know I heard some engine hesitation as you tried to pass you sure Gunny see you use the gum out I gave you would that have helped of course come out fuel additives can unclog fuel injectors in a single tank four mags Mike come out you never know when you'll need it ouch yeah that's gonna bruise I like this one I like this anything but decisions decisions I'm not afraid of color I think at least one choice is easy Home Depot is the place for paints the paint is me she makes it easy so she can make it gorgeous there's your color match Wow my home is my masterpiece lots of color that's why I went to Home Depot first the Home Depot first in Holmen Braves baseball on the superstation brought to you by Budweiser who salutes America's designated drivers we all make a difference by a plaque without it no insurance is complete by the Home Depot proud sponsor of the Atlanta Braves the Home Depot first in home improvement and by come out you never know what you'll need it [Music] as you look at tonight's totals a couple of notes that you probably should know about the fact that the Braves have won nine of their last 13 games they've only made one error in their last 10 and they are now 22 and O when they lead after seven innings something you may not have known also lost in the shuffle here the fact that killed vo Farris has extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a couple of hits tonight 26800 and 18 here tonight the game took two hours and 43 minutes and whoo-hoo Braves are over 500 for the latest scores and in-depth analysis at CNN si dot-com dead Sports Illustrated at CNN speed x-rays telecast on Turner South tomorrow with one o'clock the Braves wrap up the series against the Expos I'm trying to make it three in a row for the first time this year next game on CBS Friday at 7 o'clock from Pittsburgh as we start the longest road trip of the season and coming up next on the superstation John Wayne stars in P Hill US Marshal that comes along neck for our entire crew forego and feet and on skip ballpark [Music] the preceding has been a presentation of CBS Sports
