Chicago WHITE SOX at California ANGELS 5/23/81 Original WGN Broadcast

at anaheim stadium anaheim california our chicago white sox face the california angel [Music] hello again everybody this is harry carey with jimmy pearsall we're at anaheim stadium where the white sox be trying to make a two over the two in a row with a california angel jimmy we'll even discuss the pictures but first our national anthem thank you harry [Applause] [Music] me [Music] [Applause] [Music] me [Music] oh [Music] [Music] and some of the playing and singing of our national anthem we're ready to play baseball by the way jimmy oakland finally won that game this afternoon three to two and 15 innings over toronto you know we were saying something about the pitchers harry but tonight you got a guy 36 years old steve renko probably one of the best six inning pitchers i've ever seen he's three and two this year with a good era he's one and three lifetime against the white sox ross bumgarden he's been pitching real good his last outing last sunday he did a job he won nine to nothing he didn't walk anybody this is good for ross and he struck out four so his record now is three and four and he's looking for that big one tonight well i think the greatest game he ever pitched in the major leagues was last july the second right here in the same ballpark against a california angel when he pitched a one-hitter rod kuru got the only hit that came in the seventh inning and the white sox won the game the game one to nothing so he can pitch well against his club he certainly can look like we're gonna have about 50 000 i guess it's uh shirt night here and there's a lot of people in this ballpark i wish really got a shirt i could use one how about you you look good terry [Music] as you see renko making his sixth start he was in four relief appearances the big guy has not finished the ball game but his era is good as i said his three and two at record 2.58 last year he was with boston he was nine and nine lifetime against the white sox he's one and three and owen won in 1980. he was acquired from boston with fred lin from joe for joe rudy and tanana he's he's been with a few ball clubs he's with montreal he's also with the cubs the white sox oakland and boston his lifetime record he has won 109 and lost 125 with a pretty good era of 3.97 he'll throw over the top mostly sliders and sinkers and he's got to keep the ball down to be effective and we're going to see a better ball game tonight than we saw last night harry they promised me well i just hope it ends the same way i don't care whether it's the good or bad just so the right guys win and uh it doesn't matter whether you win nine to five in a sloppy game and usually the sloppier they are the more exciting than win one to nothing mmm pitching masterpiece that puts everybody to sleep if you're losing one to nothing so winning is the important column in this game [Music] there we go with around the floor leading it off hitting 215. no homer's 10 rbis he had one out of five last night rinco's first pitch is on the way and it's high buzzy bavasi the vice executive vice president general manager of the california angels is upset because they're getting the ball game here getting our telecast here but that's uh the power of the station satellites they had the same problem in texas we have nothing to do with it i can't what am i going to tell them here's a picture of the floor and it's in the first strike call two balls and the strike left third the american league and stolen base is now with 12 and coming strong the delivery by wrinkle lined in the left center field ave said it may go for extra bases he's around first he's going to try it here save for the double harry you know lynn is playing with a bad leg and last night he had the same problem that ball was not hit that far away from him here you'll see a sinker that he rips now watch lin he goes to his right he comes up with the ball but he throws it way off line as the floor is really hustling the throw is towards the right field side and not a chance to get him so good base running by lefleur so that's a way to start a ball game leflower doubling into left center with daring base running making a double out of what most guys have been happy to get a single on now here is squires renko's pitch off the stretch the delivery he was going to bump the pitchers high ball one squires with two base hits over a couple of runs last night mike squires hitting 307 no homers 11 rbis hey eddie einhorn the president of white sox is here when they talk to him they don't know anything about put it over there now the pitch again he's starting up the bunt again the pitch was high ball too [Music] we only have one monitor for some reason that we must run out of monitors now here goes my thing that's it two miles no strikes they get mad because they lost here last night [Music] shark stop holding the floor on he stole third last night there's a strike over the outside corner come on too early to spawn let's hit the ball two balls and a strike we had had the long ball played the and got a lot of runs last night you could have done it for one run nine different times and only other tie you got to get the clusters you're not facing a guy too that's overpowering if it's a nolan ryan or a colfax there's a pitchy bounce the play is going to be the first base we give up and out leflore gets the third base of sacrifice some kind of baseball there's a in the first inning we just sacrificed our 307 hitting first baseman here's fisk [Music] how about walking fists last night to get to luzinski that may have been the old-timer though i don't know i thought we disgusted and you could see his reasoning that fisk is a better percentage hitter than lucinski he wasn't thinking in terms of home run he was thinking of the base hit that would drive in a run and of course lozinski's the kind of guy that can spoil that kind of strategy but you've got the record on the road with blazinski on the road and because for ghost he knows what he's doing has been outstanding he's already driven in about seven runs for us here's a pitch a slider in the first strike call strike to nothing infield back at shortstop and second base carew almost even with the bag at first hobson's even with the bag at third as you see your defensive alignment so if he hits the ground ball anywhere shortstop for second base he'll drive him in runner up third one out carlton fist straddling the plate up in the final territory may be out of play in it that helps with the whole strike too you know downing moves fences i'm not telling you he went into that fence pretty hard he's got that shin guards on but downing really goes out and watch him coming against that wall he don't hesitate for a minute where's the ball two strikes or nothing fisk got one out of four last night hitting 288 522 rbi [Music] infield playing back we sacrifice for the run and they they're going to give it to us they're playing their infield back well we're only in the first inning they don't want to begin in right now breaking ball outside boy renko is six feet six he's won three he's lost two with a fine earn run average 2.58 he was at the white sox he won six and lost none he was traded along with jim ession to oakland for a guy named tori alba remember him the pit followed it out of play his strengths are tomorrow this is the first night we've seen fans in the football bleachers and there are a lot of them out there [Music] there you see it right here in right center field might be 50 000 here i don't know giveaway promotion night i said there was 40 last night it was 27 so i hit it right on the nose two strikes on them all here's the pitch to fisk there's a high fly ball made drop in the left center fail there may drop a great catch is the winner tagging up and scoring after the gun leflore very wisely held up at third base they're going to appeal that he left too soon with the third base on fire jim evans says no lafore was standing on third base this ball is hit off the end of the bat clark is i'd say he's as good an outfielder as there is in the league this guy can really go watch this catch he catches the ball before it hits the ground i watch him get up watch how quick he gets up but no way he's gonna throw him out of the plate because the floor really motoring so it's one to nothing in favor of the white sox well that was a great catch harry now lozinski i like leflore's base runner he didn't wander off the bag he made sure he stayed there if the ball dropped he knew he could walk in if the ball was caught he knew that he would be legally tagged up [Music] one strike to nothing [Music] what on the floor he's piling up the run score one and he's only hitting 212. no says taking a chance it's hanging up too soon when the guy's on the ground you might as well make sure you tag up here's ludzinski taking it outside two balls and a strike lizinski with a great road trip hitting 4 12 7 out of 17. four homers and 10 rbi he's had two games in which he hit two home runs each game there's a pitch outside ball three franco upset with himself because he's just missing with that slider and that's the pitch he's got to get over he doesn't throw up more than about 186 miles an hour three balls and a strike look at that big char tobacco a little tap and it goes foul three balls two strikes [Music] white sox fans are here from newport beach california dan mcguire is here with the group three balls two strikes ball he walked him again and that for lesinsky is the 25th base on ball dwight evans of the red sox he had 31. lozinski now with 25. also evans has got 10 home runs so lozinski on here's harold baines a red hot hitter himself renko's pitch i am outside he's hitting 682 in the last five games 15 for 22. baines has stopped trying to hit the home run he's hit one home run this year but he's hitting more balls up the middle and in the hole between first and second like shots he's had one four hit game already in three three hit games the pitch high fastball bad ball a little bit hard to see up at that plate right now it's not quite dark here in his last three games baines has been three out of five each time that's nine out of 15. 600 average [Music] he missed out a foot and a half it was 24 degrees celsius here today here you see this pitch i think he turns it over a little bit now watch the target is down and away and that's just where he threw it so by turning that ball over he got banes way out in front two strikes on the ball outside bruce and diane trembling from chicago's north side are here today boy hopson is almost playing shortstop right now he's giving him plenty of third base rick wilson here from blue island yeah didn't make it tough on you one run one hit no errors one left we going the bottom of the first the white sox won california nothing gary back in the ballpark ross baumgarten taking his practice tosses this copyright telecast is

prohibited ross baumgarten on the mound ross has won more games already this year than he did all last year he had a record of two and 12 but his era last year was 3.44 so far this year is 3.42 ross is going to a good hard slider that he tries to keep down and his fastball has been a lot quicker so far this year he's changing speeds much better in his last outing against texas he didn't walk anybody and that really helps him because he is not overpowering and not considered a strikeout pitcher here's ron carew who robbed him of a no hit game last july the second got the only hit as uh baumgarten shut him out one to nothing he's fresh off a complete game shutout in texas against texas here's the pitch fastball inside day four here from chicago and so is brian mcmahon and jeff spees former chicagoan we're here to pull for the white sox the pit swung and he missed the county makes you happy too ross had thrown six home run pitchers that really hurt him up until the last game and of course he didn't give anybody a home run and most of them were on 2031 pitches 1-1 pitch to ron carew hitting 301 had one out of four last night he was going to bump the fastball as high bernazard's playing deep i think he was going to bernard that time but morrison was charging right down his throat bill conkey chief of police and villa park is here with his son [Music] the pitch high fly ball left center course should be caught lemon is there and he takes the ball with one hand one away [Music] that will bring up rick burlson the shot stop hitting 324. billy and danny fisher both honorary white sox batboys are here tonight their families have moved from chicago to orange california ross is making his ace start he's completed one game and had that shutout burleson last night got a big double down the right field line in the eighth inning ah the pitch is in the first strike call he's got a 15-game hitting streak not bad for a little guy huh [Music] he's a tough little guy yes he is he's surprised he made one of the few errors against us last night the delivery strong enemies you know frank too 20 million this club is leading the league in errors that's got to make you think a little 46 errors they've made so far to california angels tom hall and his family from blinco are here two strikes or nothing [Music] hit the ball all over you just can't blame any one place and he also has power he drove lefleur back to the fence to left field last night [Music] rick barrelson dining 324 two homers a little pump fly in the infield that's going to be easy jim morrison is there that's a major league jam harry you go ice on your fingers here's disco dan danny four tony gabriel of chicago heights also from rose and harvey i'll tell you ford last night was up five times and hit a shot every time up he had two for four with three rbis but he hit the ball hard and almost got quite with a line drive up the middle a couple of times he's hitting 277 with eight homers a peculiar stance now watch it he's just exactly opposite from brian downing downing faces the pitcher head on forward faces the catcher turns his back to the pitcher fastball going outside let's play name odd stances stan mutual musil had to be the world's champion gene woodling dick power uh mcdougall yo mcdougall about it a little bit like brian downey yeah when he split out more one ball no strikes former chicago and mr mrs terry dykes are here here's the pitch swung on foul out of play did you consider ernie banks moving his thumb boy the cubs won this afternoon six to four russell the winner harry they beat an old cubby burst one ball one strike two men around nobody on danny ford the batter fastball a bit low i don't know if anybody saw that los angeles game this afternoon against cincinnati but they played kick away and still won nine to six the first three runs off valenzuela i never saw a play like that before nobody covered first base the kid makes a perfect throw and they give him the air instead of the second baseman who was supposed to be covering and the guy that bought it went all the way around and scored three runs on it but two balls on the strike there's a line shot base hit from fourth boy is he red hot danny ford singles to right there's a group here in the right field section from northern illinois university in dekalb pulling for the white sox kerry cathy cindy and glenn boy you know seeing fred lin comes to the plate makes me think the job that kevin hickey got him out coming into relieve and then farmer came in to get baylor the middle of their batting order facing us and we get out of that so the bullpen did a good job group here from zion illinois here's freddie lynn dangerous left-hand battle one out of five last night here's the pitch fastball is low lynn has hurt his leg again and he's still in the lineup he's out a couple of days one ball no strikes the delivery a little bit low ball two randy and janie bear want to be remembered to the family back in chicago the outfield straight away and plenty deep [Music] ford not taking too big a lead at first base he too has had an out leg operation they've got a lot of these million dollar players with bad wheels now the pitch don't laugh we got a million dollar players got bad wheels too so it can happen to anybody no i'm just saying they got a lot of them but we don't have a lot of them we only got two million dollar players and one of them's got bad legs two balls in a strike there's a line drive and a left center going deep now ron may score lemon can't come up with the ball here's the tying score one to one wild floor bomb gordon backing up the play boys [Applause] [Music] [Applause] lynn's lake bothers him you see watch this pitch now it's slowing away and he goes right with it lemon on the run and you'll see in a moment can't come up with this ball as four is rounding second when lemon kicks the ball now ford is gonna score he can't run too well but they're gonna send him anyways and watch the relay the relay goes over the catcher's head they wouldn't have got him anyways but bumgarden backing it up saves an error and lynn stayed down at second base so this game is all tied here now is don balor there was a lot of throws in it ball baylor hit a tremendous home run last night he's had seven this year there's a slider a little bit low and inside ball one one ball no strikes [Music] [Applause] one ball no strikes game tied 1-1 line drive left fail here's a runner trying to score trouble to play by the floor [Applause] safe [Music] what a lousy pitch bumgarden just threw up there he threw a change up with no motion and just loved it now watch he can double hit see this pitch just a live change and he just rips it the floor to his left now comes up with the ball lynn not running too good is trying to hustle the throw doesn't take off the grass they almost get him but he just slides with a good hook slide away from him you know what i wondered what would our first inning been leflore let off with a double squares the left-handed batter coming up next he sacrificed them to third so the most we could get was one run and that's all we got now they've already got two baylor a good base dealer he might go too the only thing baylor can't do is throw the rest of the game he's got it here's downey now and the curveball in there a strike called [Music] dave coffey and a group here from the south side of chicago sinking fast forward low and outside evens a count a ball and a strike you know what the angels did what they had to do they had two runners on base that couldn't run too good so they hit the ball deep to score them they did just what they had to do brian downing waiting look at that stance [Music] he's hitting 272. good fastball on the outside corner two strikes and a wall alberts formerly of new lenox illinois two strikes in the ball boy all this with two odds coach huh yeah followed it back and the count stays the same ken kramersick his family back in the style illinois white sox and angels played a game last night three hours and 32 minutes fastball a little bit inside he wanted that pitch al clark the plate on fire see gary renicky of baltimore leading the american league hitting now with a 365 average i see where descension hit two home runs today coach they won again here's the fifth lined in the right fail the base hit runners at first and second as baylor stops at second day four solid hits in a row well our bullpen is very weak out there right now as much as they've been used so it's got to be lamp if anybody starts to warm up and i imagine that you have to tell hoyt take a couple of days off we don't want to see it at the park pat madden from chicago hoping to see a victory boston defeated milwaukee eight to one atari's won that ball game he's now four and two he's won four in a row baltimore wild detroit nine to two landing in the winner he's now six and three you know harry the pitching staff for detroit like rosemary they just never seemed to make it happen things were all wrong they were expecting those two kids to carry them bobby gretch hitting 232 five homers 19 rbis harriet and bob funk formerly of elmhurst here tonight [Music] fastball on the first strike call guard works quickly two to one in favor of the angel bobby gretch [Music] he started to swing did he go around he did they appealed to the first place on fire steve palermo they were three for three wrong last night no question as you see this pitch he goes around he had a good rip doug and brad of our tv crew with friends and crested butt colorado press debuted and pressed the butt b-u-t-t-e butte dude i can't help you harry because i can't read either two strikes on them all bobby graduating slow curve low ken mccow from round lake illinois here kansas city and minnesota all tie in the sixth nothing nothing erickson against split or splitters 0-4 eriksen's 1-4 minnesota shut them out last night here's the pitch to bobby gritsch high pop fly shark center field everybody chasing it made the catch bernard saved lemon on that play lemon broke back and i think that it's really hard right now harry there's a real bad twilight i've played here and bernerzard really saved him watch him see lemon can't get to it all the cat and a good play by the little guy bernazzard ran a mile ran a mile for that one it's two runs of four hits no heirs two men left at the end of one the angels two the white sox won harry carey and jimmy pearson say camp day

15. hope you'll be there they're great caps navy blue with the socks and white letters here's lemon to lead it off [Music] two to one in favor of the engine in their first strike call harry i'm going to give you two guesses who's the winning pitcher for the phillies today [Music] who started i would like to have him in the boom i would like to have him in the bullpen right now bro mike crowley mike really here's the pitch swung on foul ball off to the left strike two lemon two out of four last night hitting 302 one homer and thirteen rbis you know he's starting home and batting ninth is driven in thirteen rbis little tony bernazard has driven in 12. [Music] two strikes or nothing the leader is fisk with 22. he held up in time the breaking ball was low the white sox are hitting 289 as a team the angels 255 we've hit 21 home runs and they've hit 40. but you're here where the dodgers have hit something like 80 home runs already hey they got four today lemon the batter two strikes and a ball that evens a count of two and two these angels all 22 million dollars worth of them will be at comiskey park next friday night saturday afternoon on a doubleheader sunday that's next week big weekend series then the oakland a's come in here's the pit well three out of the eye three balls two strikes lemon last night had a couple of hits drove in two runs come on chad let's get going two to one in favor of the angel hey this is the club we gotta beat in oakland marie wald's two strikes time is called and renko is all set to deliver here's the pitch bouncing ball that'll be easy there's the peg by hobson take a look at that mary he hasn't got much he has to run it across the field one out there's bernazard he had one out of five last night hitting 297. estelle barth and family here from skokie illinois [Music] boy atlanta has come from behind they were down six to nothing and it's now tied six six in the ninth against san diego mike slicerack is here from downers grove illinois bernazard takes a strike call one strike to nothing one on nobody on there's a shot to right field a base it was ernazard singles to right i didn't see that pitch again there was a sinker that didn't sink he's a high ball hitter bernazard you get that ball up there and he rips it watch it [Music] see he got it up there and he ripped it there's jim morrison hitting only 226 and one out of four last night jim is hitting a lot of tough luck when he does hit the ball hard it's right at somebody mike and carol morrison since he's been one that's been a street hitter he gets in a streak boy and he'll he'll get three two two three either throw the first the runner back you know the white sox has stolen a base in each of the last 12 games [Music] we've stolen 35 bases and only caught stealing 10 times that is fabulous travel foul down the third baseline if it had been fair it had been maybe a double play because thompson was right on the line tim lewis dave einstein and the group are here from highland park one on one out the kowalski's are here and the murphys from lawndale california [Music] he buns if it stays fair he'll beat it out but it goes by good idea morrison last year was terrific at bunsen in 15 attempts he beat out 13 and that really kept his batting average up watch how he weighs till the last second puts that bat out and it starts out fair but as it hits the third part of the infield i watch it hit that grass and bounce back off the foul line look like a snake going down in that picture group of farty from north park hoping to see a white sox victor [Music] two strikes and nothing one out one on the pitch to morrison lookout high and inside same two teams tomorrow afternoon franco not overpowering i'll show you that pitch up there and then come back with a slider outside he's been missing quite a bit with it and his sinker's been his best pitch so far tonight [Music] about that imagine it's a little hard to pick that slider up as tall as he is especially if he doesn't get his arm away from his body it'll be a battle of left handers tomorrow afternoon steve trout for the white sox drop zone [Music] very slow and deliberate thrown over there he just gives you a token toss downing who doesn't throw too well might get tested here two balls two strikes here's the fence that goes the runner swung off high fly ball easy out in left field bobby clark waiting for it anytime barnazard had a good jump he to beat that easy two men are out here's bill holman hitting 326. he had two out of four last night no homer's 13 runs about it st lewis leads the mets they're in the bottom of the seventh six to two and used to lead san francisco two to nothing in the fifth [Music] about something maybe about holding him on a little bit more or changing his count or something [Music] tony bernazard amy try to steal it here the idea being even if he's thrown out then you have allman leading it off in the third and if he makes it a base it will tie it [Music] he broke his contact with a rubber you know a runner like bernie's art or a guy like lafleur really gets you a fastball down the middle because he loses concentration good strike call fastball one strike or nothing steve renko harry when people laugh like this and clap would you tell them to let us in on it bernards are to lead slider outside even enough you stay close to renko you get him he's the kind of a guy throughout his career the last five or six years he he doesn't go more than five or six innings one ball one strike bernazzar to lead they pitched out and he's not going he made a fake start for second and downing pitch down well i want to tell you bobby winkles has come up with a set of signs this year that it's really working because they've been pitching out about 13 times only once did they get anybody two balls on the strike two men are out also we got some hitters up there they don't take so long looking down there they pick it up right away now renko the fit hi lazy fly ball those are a dime a dozen freddie lynn coming in makes the shot bruno thought there was only one out no runs one hit no errors one left we're going to the bottom of the second one california two white sox won harry carey back at anaheim stadium our next telecast will be tuesday night at oakland when the white sox face the open a's that'll be a battle for first place starting monday afternoon three game monday afternoon tv tuesday night and wednesday night and don't miss the cubs as they play montreal tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock right here on wgn television nine chicago america's number one sports station [Music] in there for a strike call loss got hit awfully hard the first inning after two outs boy one two three four hits in a row and they were all hit right on the nose costing two runs so let's see if he can better it now this young man clark has got good power and an outstanding outfielder defensively there's not many better in his league bobby clark right hand battle over one last night [Music] two strikes and a ball to come out clarks had one home or eight rbis banning 270 that evens it up two and two clark has been in this organization in 75 and he's hit 291 284 316 304 296 with the big club and then back down again he had 3 45 last year 2-2 pitch fastball had been low and the count full three balls two strikes ross baumgardt really struggled he got the first two men that he faced and he's had trouble ever since three two pitch walking ball four that'll bring up butch hobson [Music] well that's the first walk in 11 innings in his last downing he went nine innings about giving up a walk against texas but overall bumgarden has struck out 24 and walked 18. runner at first nobody out boy harry take a look at the arms on this guy he is really strong handsome young man too never throw him a fastball harry it may not be found in there for a strike call bomb garden has thrown six home run balls this year he leads the staff in that department one strike and nothing oh whoa who do you think leads to staff and based on balls who leads the staff and baseball ball i know it's not trout i don't think it's burned [Music] it's that's it gotcha that figure 24 1-1 pitch looped in the right field that's going to drop far ahead runners at first and second tony bernazard made a sensational try and almost made a remarkable catch watch this now clark can't go because it looks like burgers art may catch this ball boy he really chases these five balls just off the end of his glove now baines is gonna have to pick it up so clark couldn't go to third base and his runners at first and second now nobody out here at the bottom of the second inning and ross is in a whale of trouble here's ron carroll now here's a situation where kuru may bunk primarily with the idea of beating him out because he's such an accomplished bunner [Music] runners at first and second and nobody up rick burlson on deck [Music] boy that little guy burners aren't really hustles he bunts in the air but it's foul nobody can reach him strike one one strike and nothing here's a guy who practices his bunning almost as much as he does he's hitting you know 50. he doesn't mind that first and second now of course crew can pop but say a guy isn't a good bunner why not button run or run and butt a lot of times to just cross these guys up to charge so much because if you do that the guys are going to get anyways and then you don't have to make the perfect money brothers are first and second nobody out i was thinking about that running on the beach today that how can you stop these guys from charging up on you so much like they do today not a signal the only play first base sacrifice boy harry he put some backup english on that ball and morrison had to be careful that that runner didn't steal third on him if he got up there too far now watch it's a perfect bunt and morris has got to really hustle on this ball because it stops watch it now he feels it and he throws him out with a good throw so it's a sack and now they have a chance of picking up two more runs already leading two to one runners at second and third one away and here's rick burlson good hitter banning 324 popped up his first time [Music] the infield playing back [Music] we're going to concede a run for an hour yet you play for one run in the very first minute [Music] here's the pitch and it's high and inside well maybe they figure for our figure some of the logic maybe ross's morale is better when he gets a run right away because last year he didn't get any one ball no strikes we need a pop-up right here danny ford on deck [Music] well he jammed him he also jammed in his first time up for a little pop-up to third base and he's kind of figuring whether that bat is broke or not rick burlson a big number seven on the back of his uniform he's awful small to be making 800 000 a year and he's never hit 300 in his life is the average about 150 games a year yeah you've never played more than 155 there's a little fly ball sharp left field the floor getting in position makes the catch there's his throw the runner will have to hold before really have something on that throw well i'll tell you lefleur had to come a long way because he wasn't expecting him to hit the ball there now it's inside on him and he just hits it off his fist i watch the floor come a long way but you young outfielders watch how he gets set he's gonna put his hands up high make his stride and throw his body moving and morrison almost gets a chance to tag the runner look at clark getting back there in a hurry here's diamond four that's pretty baseball i don't care what you tell me there's two hands and you can't play a ball any better than he just played that ball one hand you can do everything wrong two men around runners of second and third danny ford started all his trouble in the first inning with a two out single right scored on lin's double to center you know you're talking about i didn't score it on baylor's base here talk about a compact swing like this this guy's got a compact swing harry the car ball is high ball up one ball no strikes danny ford the other he's three out of five in the series ford bothered by a bad leg too if they could get that ball knock it down you can throw him out there you see clark at third and hops in its second a little bit outside wall two freddie lin up next guy like ford likes a guy like this because he can watch the ball a little longer he's so strong and got such a quick stroke if you don't have overpowering stuff he can really hurt you because with that stance he likes mediocre speed two balls no strikes runners at second and third two out two to one in favor of the angels we're in the bottom of the second strong and he missed and he missed that one a mile an off-speed breaking ball would look like i think he want two rbis two balls on the strike [Music] danny ford hitting 277. used to be with the twins [Music] now bob garten is ready the pitch high drive right field coming over baines on the run foul territory can't make the play oh and he got hurt he jammed he's all right now he straightens up he hit his neck or something harry good about wall hard boys he give this a good effort this ball is curving away from him it's just near the fence and he reaches out with his glove hand and his body carries him right into the fence see where he hits himself maybe that fan hit him in the neck he's all right it's his right shoulder he's circulating his arm damn forward boy get this guy this is a big out for you ross two strikes two and two dennis slamp warming up in the bullpen for the white sox now bomb garden is ready [Music] two balls two strikes [Music] two men are out bomb jordan taking a lot of time now the delivery tap right back to the mouth that's going to be an easy out to retire the side ford tapped right back to bombay no runs out of all that one hit no errors two left they've stranded four in the first two innings at the end of which the score is angel's two white sox won mary carey back from anaheim this is wgn television nine chicago america's number one sports station here we go on the top of the third left floor who double and scored in the first inning he was sacrificed to third by squires and scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of fisk as bobby clark made a great diving catch two to one california steve renko who's got a fine earn run average 2.58 for the year now the pit slider in our beauty strike call tell you one thing he's the youngest looking 36 i've ever seen is he yeah he's in shape there's a curveball away the count is even a ball on the strike found a pitch [Music] straight on the outside corner two strikes on the ball well they really butch him around the right clark's give him all of left field so they're pitching him away and playing him away there you see in your picture [Music] that even's a count two and two two balls two strikes be on the air at uh on radio only tomorrow two balls two strikes struck him out swinging on a foul tip but downing held onto it you know how he hates that ball inside there's a breaking ball that most guys will hit pretty good but he doesn't like that ball in there see how it locks him up harry squires there's squires now one out [Music] two to one in favor of the angels renko he's traded away by the white sox after he had a great season for him to show you how smart i am i had him down as my opening day picture on the lineup contest that bill beck used to have i guess that's why he traded him but trading him so bad maybe but he also traded essien with him that's a little left-handed pitcher named pablo torielbo corey elmo the rodney catching tara corey elbow pitching in northagen and left the pitch high fly ball limb coming in easy out his best year renko was 15 and 11 and 73 with montreal he's he knows how to pitch [Music] he was 5-0 for the white sox in 1977 and they traded them in the spring of 78 to oakland [Music] essene is back with the white sox renko still pitching here's a ground ball to short carlson has it there's the pack fist is an easy out one two three nothing in front we're going to the bottom of the third two to one california hey soccer fans don't miss the excitement when chicago sting battle of the toronto blizzards wednesday night at 8 30 right here on channel 9. there's freddie lynn he doubled in the first round all the action came with two out the first inning after carew and burleson had been retired ford looped a single into shard right lin double to center scoring forward and baylor single to score lynn there's a pitch bounced on the ground a shot stop allman has it there's a throw in time run away freddie land bounces to the shot stop bill allman the designated header baylor boy lynn is really limping badly harry look at him going off the field one man out you know they say some of these guys get money they won't play well there's a guy who'd show him he's playing with a lot of pain baylor with 25 runs about it now seven homers he's hitting only 154. there's a good shot from the center field camera [Music] what was wrong with that pitch [Music] looks like he's belongs to the untouchables low again ball two every time i see jim like that reminds me the first time i played against him in the first game he played big leagues were in cleveland and he hit a double i hit a double and i rounded the bag and he was faking me and i hard right in his ears get out of here and he jumped four feet there's a long drive might be out of here way back is the floor and he makes a leaping cat robbing baylor of a home run did you see how baylor on the floor played it he got to the wall and then waited and then timed his lead perfectly it's a tiring drive now watch the floor go right to the wall you young outfitters he gets to the wall first and he knows where he is see him touch it now watch him he's going to jump high in the air and as harry said he took a whole nut away from him great play boy there's a secret to making that play it looks easy after you make it but if you don't get there and know where you are and you get too close to the wall you can start up and stop yourself by hitting your shoulders so two men are away and here's brian downing he's single to right his first time boy that baylor hit that ball a mile high fastball the downing is low ball one one ball no strikes downing with four homers 15 rbis high fastball ball to bobby gretch on back you know not only does he open up but when he goes to swing he he his whole body watch his front foot now watch him you wonder how he get that ball inside watch him everything strike underneath [Music] two balls with a strike no matter how you stand up there harry long as you get hits they don't care [Music] things are back oh and he swings that bat hard too and the way cox had that behind his head here you see his stance now watch the left foot the and the swing boy he is just powerful he swings hard all the time you wouldn't think he could get the bat around on the good mustard if he does i guess well i think also harry he's a guest hitter which means that he sort of knows what's coming two balls two strikes ball all three but right now with a count as two strikes on him he's more or less flicked in the bed he's not really swinging with his shoulders marine two is the count lost bomb guard here's the payoff missed with a curve inside ross in the first three innings has pitched the ball game he has been in trouble all the time last and he really pissed out of a jam with learners on second and third with one out he got burleson on a fly ball to left and no runner couldn't score and then he got dan ferg forward with a slow roller back to the mound but each time he had counts of two and two three and two here's bobby grinch now he's hit five homers this year he hit some long ball very unhappy with that call really can't figure it out now is really furious as he walks back towards center field and the bench is getting all over clark here you see it now let's see what we think of it [Music] little low bobby grits has hit 30 homers in one season we did that for the angels in 79. last year he had 14. a lot home runs to right center field good power that way [Music] swings and he missed that evens it up a ball in the strike two now the runner at first ball game in the bottom of the third two to one in favor of the engine rosinski will be leading off the fourth temperature here today was around 83 degrees beautiful day 1-1 delivery high ball two two bars and the strike california angels is a team of driving 255. now bomb guard is ready the outfield plays deep everywhere way high ball three ross took something over off that ball but you know what he's doing right now he's trying to throw it harder and by doing that he's standing up straight he's not really extending his back he had two out and nobody on when he ran into the two-run trouble in the first now with two audi's walk downing and he's got a three and one count on bobby grinch who's a pretty good triple shooter he's primarily a fastball hitter this is not one of the better nights that's three based on balls for him tonight he has now walked 20 men this year [Music] while striking out 24. they tell me harry the ball carries better since they put these football bleachers in all the way around they've closed in this whole ballpark there's bobby clark he walked his first time up hitting 270 for the year all this started with two out successive walks to downing and club and run to downing and glitch and now clark is up there first pitch high let's show clark how he sits on that back foot a lot of guys say you should hit off your back foot well clark really hits off and he lays right on it one ball no strikes [Music] follow the back and he had a good rip and a fast ball that evens it up in a ball and a strike ross doesn't seem to be fooling anybody here you are see him right on that back foot and then he shifts his body right into the ball yeah good rip at that ball what he tries to do is hopes that it'll keep him from lunging by laying on that back foot some guys right two men out two men on [Music] found it out of play that was a change up a high change up too i really don't like it area it looks to me like he's just staying here hit it two strikes on the ball two on two out he threw at the baler and baylor hit a shot in the left center he's not getting that slider over like he's been the last two outings he's just missing inside but he's got to get it over now get this guy out of here two strikes on them all at first and second [Music] the pitch struck him out fastball left the knees over the inside corner and bobby clark is arguing about that one he's still standing in home plate al clark walks away from him and clark flips the bat away now no runs no hits no errors left this is harry carey going over to the radio the score here at the end of three the angels two the white sox won hello again everybody joe mcconnell along with jimmy pearsall here at anaheim as we go to the fourth inning lozinski to lead it off high ball one greg of course the hero last night two homers four runs knocked in including the big three run blast that broken open in the ninth inning he walked off renko in the first inning tonight angel's leading 2-1 outside with a slider and it's ball two now you know you talk about his home runs you know he leads the club and runs scored but forgot his strikes out as much as he does but he also walks as much as he strikes out he's been scoring runs well he is fifth in on base percentage jimmy he picked up his 25th walk first time up tonight he fouls that one back two and one to count the angels have out hit the white sox five to two through the first three innings tonight ross baumgarten has been shaky in each inning and he was given a lot of help on two plays by le flora what a strong throw from left they did not challenge his arm but he threw a beauty into the third baseman jimmy morrison and then in the third he rob baylor of a home run renko delivers high ball three three and one he also got help from mr clark in that last pitch we replayed it he took so long to call her you gotta believe that fist must have brought it up a little ross has been struggling tonight he's been pitching from behind most of the time now renko three and one behind lucinski delivers low ball four and the bull is on with his second straight walk in his 26th of the year that moves him up to third place in the american league and the number of walks received right bane's coming up now looking down for a sign and winkle's going through a lot of different signs and i've got to believe his sign is hit it out of here yeah i'm just going to say hit a home run that's the best sign i can he hasn't hit one in a long time and he's but i'd rather see him hit like he's hitting now to not go for home runs because he's really swinging a hot bat of his 15 hits and 23 at bats there's been only one double the rest have all been singles outside ball one well he struck him out with stuff away from him last time in fact when anybody strikes baines out it's always out away from him but then he'll come back and look for it and hit it in the left field it looks like rico when baines came up the first time turned a couple of pitches over yes [Music] there's a strike on the outside corner 1-1 you know when you don't throw hard like renko does you have a tendency to be able to nibble at those corners and get strikes out there so then the hitter's got to move up a little bit or do something to offset that you can't let him get away with that all the time [Music] bouncing ball to carew fowl one ball of two strikes on harold baines blizinski on it first representing the tying run nobody out here in the top of the fourth inning minnesota kansas city are in the 10th no score erickson and split off are still pitching in that ball game and with their records they sure would like to get a win spluttar throw in four and erickson's 1-4 well the twins haven't given up a run now in 18 innings since billy gardner took over they got a shout out from kuzmin last night the royals are only three out of 14 at home jimmy [Music] outside ball two and strike two to baines you think that billy gardner knew something johnny garl didn't know and wouldn't tell him i'll tell you something about the girl gardner situation gorill the only reason he agreed to take over the ball club in the first place last year he didn't particularly want to manage but he had calvin griffith's assurance is that if things didn't work out that they would retain him as a coach swing out of this he struck james out for the second time that was an off defender let's see that again he turned over a fastball and took a lot off it with a lot of motion watch the motion over the top and he turns it over and he chases a real bad pitch not many guys can take off on that pitch and make it do what he did usually throw it hard but he really got that ball to fall off the table three strikeouts for renko twice he has fan vain here's chad lemon who bounced to third his first time up so anyway i'm anxious to see if gorham went back to coaching at third base gardner was their third base coach and they moved him up as manager yesterday swinging a miss a late cut by chad it looked like he was going to take the pitch and then waved at it it's very awkward though you know when a guy replaces the guy just all he wanted was was time in time in the big leagues he did not have a lot of time in as a player he's had a couple of years as a coach and he didn't really particularly want to manage so i don't think it would be much of a problem with girl they they more or less handed it to him last year and said go with it come on chad strike two callers is terrible back at that plate punch a hole in the mat so you can see what chat's really giving it to clark well i don't blame him either watch where this pitch is look where this pitch is that is really brutal god almighty look at this i you know the trouble with him is i think he's too fat to work any umpire that comes in a ballpark with 50 000 people that fat and is in the athletics is really disgraced to the game two strikes to count chen in a big hole now one on one out we're in the fourth there's ozinski taking his lead at first inside turned him away a ball and two strikes and that pitch was closer than the other one well i'll tell you he called out clark on a pitch that was really low and clark a nice guy never said anything i'd have got my message over to him before i left the plate the one and two pitch blowing outside into the dirt nice save by downing ball two and strike two you know who rico used to hand the ball off to in college remember number 40. i'm not sure i don't already i never read up on this college he was a quarterback university of kansas who is the kansas comet gail sayers oh my [Music] pretty fair running back oh my that's why you've never heard of rick as a footballer i still enjoy watching him run down the street gail sarah runs that cat he runs that camp down the street well i'll tell you gail can still fly the 2-2 pitch he struck him out on a sinker low and away and that's two strikeouts in a row for renko but i think he's been given some help with home plate on fire and our guys are fishing a little bit well what happens now when a guy starts calling pitches as bad as he's calling you start chasing anything because you don't know where the strike zone is his strike zone is so inconsistent that it's really making the hitters sway a lot of bad pitches and it'll happen for both teams but one thing about him he is bad for both sides here's bernard's eye tony he had a change up into right field for base hit his first time up tonight he's two for six in the series lucinski with a lead off walk still stationed at first now that baines 11 have struck out tony's average back over the 300 mark the ball a little bit high ball one burners hit a pitch like that for a line shot his first time up he likes to ball up left-handed bernie's heart [Music] two to one the angels are leading we're here in the fourth inning all around scored in the first inning although ross has been in a jam at each inning there's a drive to the right field another rope for burnishad his second straight hit blazinski around second and hangs on there that's hit number three for the white sox and now with two on and two out that'll bring up jimmy morrison who hit one deep to left that was hauled in by clark the left fielder his first time up if all jim was ever due he's due right now he has not been hitting the ball well at all on the radio side his only home run this year was the second day of the season the sunday ball game at fenway and he is really due to jack one out i don't want him to jack one out i want him to hit one between first and second but he's got to hit it quite a bit peace now with lucinski on second base he can't run too well so it's going to take two singles to get lesinsky home morrison now just four hits and 30 advance in this current slump he's hit four hovers in his career against this ball club a curve ball of the beauty a call strike one you know he's flinching up there you know there's a pitch he didn't take it good evening he looked at me like he was oh maybe i should swing or maybe i shouldn't and he bends his knees and he is not throwing that left hand into the ball he's hitting everything with his right hand even though he hit that ball fairly decent left if he got good left hand into it he'd hit it out of here owen won the count just missed boy that looked like a pretty good pitch ball one and strike one maybe a little bit high hopson is guarding the line at third there's no way jim can hit it by him he is right on top of it i don't know i saw say camped on the line in that game at cincinnati today and got to hop off the astro turf though ripped it right through him dodgers won that ball game where they got two runs walked in for him in the tenth inning blowing away ball two and strike one and looks like renko's struggling a bit now you know i believe as sort of when he said after that game today that they played so bad today they played worse than both clubs we watched last night play there's a dodger in the sky there's no waiting there's no way they should have win that game well they had three errors five misplays by not knowing where to throw the ball nobody covered first on a butt one guy went he went to second on another boat when he shouldn't have gone to second he's leading a charmed life jay johnstone hit one out a pinch homer to tie it otherwise fernando would have lost his second straight ball game and then of course the dodgers won it with four in the tenth and they now have a six and a half game lead things are going well morrison rips one foul down the left side two and two the count things are bad you get a pitch high but you just pull it forward getting off the end of the bat like they did for a bloop well he got one like that last night for his only hit a double you know in right center or in right field both of those outfielders ford and lynn are favoring their legs so we might be able to do something if they can just hit the ball down the line or in the gap but that kid in left field he can catch him clark he hit it in the gap the 386 mark in right center both runs would score the way they're playing him high ball three and strike two i don't know what he's doing jumping just like that he's so unsure of himself that he he's trying to jump to make sure it's a ball i don't know what he's doing but he's really jumping around up there he looks like he's got a fly swatter where's billy allman on deck three and two now to morrison the runners will be going because there are two outs here in the fourth that'll give the white sox a chance if morrison can dump one in [Music] morrison any ball down if i'm hitting right now i'm saying i'm swinging because he has called all his pitches that are bad clark down i think you got to be careful of renko's got a pretty good sinker and slider and he'll throw that ball low and away no way to hit that pitch here's the payoff pitch the runners are moving and it's high inside ball four and the bases are loaded that's the third walk off renko two in this city over the last few years for the a's and the red sox he's been primarily about a six-inning pitcher that's right no you stay close to him you get him and their bullpen is a little bit short right now too they used a few guys last night well hassler had really been in a strength for them gave up four runs on four hits in the ninth inning last night tom morgan the pitching coach the angels coming out now to talk to renko well the sox have a chance now almond it was a seventh leading hitter in the league at 326 coming in tonight with a six-game hitting string he flied to center his first time up and he'll bat now with two out on the bases loaded joe jesse jefferson warming up in a bullpen i've heard that name before well he's been with the white sox he's been with baltimore he's been around toronto he's got his trophy room in a lot of uniforms do you know that he started the second game of the year for the angels that's how chewed up their pitching staff was at the start of the year but what a what an addition ken forsh has been to this ball club although we beat him last night i don't really think ken forsh when the league gets a little bit of his action are going to hit him because he is not overpowering and he has to be pinpoint the pitching is the mammoth question mark here in southern california as far as the angels are concerned all right here's almond bases loaded two out we're in the fourth sox have a chance to get back in it almost hit him a fastball high and tight ball one rinco doing something now that he can't do and that's reach back and try to throw at 90. he's got to fool around with about 85 and turn it over and that's what he was doing for quite a while but he looks to me like he's pressing a little bit [Music] ball one to altman there's a base hit the left field ozinski scores the tying run and here comes the lead running the person to now they got morrison hung up the throwback to second and he is out boy what stupid base run morrison just put his head down clark never threw it home he just threw it to third base and morrison was halfway to third i can't believe the way we run those bases watch this now this ball is really hit hard there was no way he was going to throw out bertazard so watch clark he just feels the ball he throws the third base easily as bernazard scores morrison halfway to third now can't nowhere near get back to the bag well that retires aside but the white sox come up with the tying and lead runs two hits two runs two hits two walks and one man left sox take the lead now after three and a half three to two butch hopson will lead it up in the angel half of the fourth inning don't forget this same two ball clubs the angels and the white sox will play in chicago at comiskey park friday night this coming friday may 29 continuing through saturday afternoon and a big doubleheader on sunday starting at 12 15. good seats are still available call now for tickets and information call 924 1000 and those of you who have visa or mastercharge customers can call dial socks there's a base hit the left for hobson on the first pitch that call socks number is 225-5769 it's open 24 hours a day for your convenience so hopsin who singled in a little pop fly in the second inning leads off with a base hit the left here in the fourth inning and the tying run is on base right away angel's about hit us six to four but the white sox and almonds two run single they've regained the leader three to two in the fourth inning you know when you're playing a team like the angels with great hitters all the way up and down their lineup you cannot make mental errors you can't take yourself out you know you cease to get mad now you start to cry it's so pitiful to watch some of our guys run the bases here's carew he has flied to center and sacrificed he's all for one he has an eight-game hitting string fouls it back going one crew very seldom hits into a double play if he does it has to be a one hopper right at somebody well what a year almonds having he's extended his hitting string to seven down those two rbis give him 15 on the air he just keeps delivering big hit for almond here tonight he now has three hits in the series you know he hits first or last and he does the job in both places strike one the count to kuru they play him around to the left in the infield and the outfield morrison up at third there's a bouncing ball to burnazzard he goes to second for one on the first not in time but a very close call at first base squires thought they had them and quite frankly i thought they did too boy bernard's are got a tough hop at the last moment as i said before you gotta one hopper this ball was a low to the ground now watch bertazar make his pivot and as he does he throws it outside and a good throw by allman almost gets him well let's see well you can't tell by that well i'll tell you that was a bang bang player if i had to call that from here i'd say i i thought he was i really did another angle you need for that call yeah they get the lead runner now kuru who can steal is on it first with one out he had a stolen base last night one on one out we're in the bottom of the fourth fisk has paid another visit to ross baumgarten who now finds himself with a one-run lead although ross has been struggling at every inning he's allowed six hits and he's walked three he has pitched a ball game already tonight ross who have had a bad arm last year has not been bothered at all he has no velocity this year yeah he's been out he was out about a month and a half last year but so far this year he's been really throwing pretty good low ball under burleson who has a 15 gamer on the line he doubled in his fifth and last trip last night to extend his string to 15. seven short of the club record you played with sandy alamar didn't you no or did you miss him he has the angels hitting streak of 22. karoo had an 18 gamer last year there's a strike at the knees one-on-one to burleson [Music] one on one out bottom of the fourth socks have regained the lead on billy allman's two-run single in the top half of this inning sox led at one nothing in the first the angels got their two runs in the bottom of the first and the socks tap two in the top of this inning the fourth trying to keep pace with the a's who went 15 innings to beat toronto this [Music] afternoon well we're going to miss keo and uh norris in that series at oakland jimmy we'll see mccaddy kingman and langford there's a deep drive to left field hooking near the foul pole and it's foul i want to tell you that little guy just hit a rope out there he had one last night that kind of died out there that looked like it might have a chance when it left his bat one ball and two strikes now burleson he doesn't want to try to hit home runs in this park the ball does not carry good that ball in boston would have been a home run because it would have got to that 300 foot sign down in left field line in boston before it could have curved one and two to rick burleson watch him go watch him go the other way he likes to go the other way especially with two strikes [Music] karoon likes to run he's got seven stolen bases but he's been thrown out seven times so he's not having a good year at that he has stolen home plate 12 times in his career six and one year 2-2 pitch to burleson low block by piss make it two and two now you know that don't sound like very much unless you're an ex-ball gamer let me tell you stealing home is unreal because you can get hurt it takes a lot of guts and timing yeah and you've got to really know how to time that picture and billy martin has a great knack of teaching that to certain guys that he feel feels knows how to run he usually does it with more than one man on basil he camouflages it outside full count now to rick burleson three and two let's see if they send crew in this next pitch i wouldn't be surprised well i'm glad it's not a hot night out there because if it was hot he'd be out of gas there you see third base coast preston gomez former cub skipper also with the padres bobby cannot former angel infielder is the first base coach a three and two count to rick burleson one on one out throw the first to keep kuru fairly close to the bag bobby cannot pose some records here for angels he had 12 chances in a nine inning game second baseman and he could turn that double play because he had a great arm you look at that angel record book fregosi holds about every career record for this ball club fouled off peru was on the move tragosie also holds another record you just as soon forget and that's the most losses as a manager in one year and that happened last year right after they'd won their first division title in 79 but they had 51 injuries and they fielded 112 different lineups in 162 games last year anybody that wants to be a manager has to be a guy that can't get a job anywhere else because i can tell you when you get managing this ball club with all the pressure behind you here it's almost impossible to be successful [Music] they've done everything on this in this organization but buy pictures yeah isn't that funny and the ones they bought can't pitch keys yeah and you've got travers he's out of here now and no neither one of those guys [Music] double play ball to almond he steps on the bag avoids karoo and throws to first guru tried to take him out with a flying body block that time and allman just sidestepped him on a nifty play and through the first and that is the 40th double play of the year for the white sox they perfectly executed one hopper right to almonds look at that slide by carousel i can't imagine why he took so much time he could have threw it right away well he had plenty of time but he made sure no runs one hit nobody left after four white sox three angels two our white sox with a one run lead here as we go to the fifth inning ryan lafleur will lead it off tomorrow it will be steve trout against jeff zion in the final game of this series which will not be carried on channel nine our next telecast will be tuesday night from oakland the second game of that series first pitch to the floor is in there for a call strike bill allman's two-run single has given the socks a one-run lead here in the top of the fifth inning [Music] lefleur whacks a foul out of play on two he has doubled scored the first run of the ball game in the first inning he struck out on a foul tip his last time up so he's one for two tonight and two for seven in the series both doubles steve renko makes his home in overland park kansas he's born in kansas city just missed at the base one block two strikes to the floor he'll be followed by squires and fisk the top of the order here in the fifth inning the angels have out hit the white sox six to four but the sox lead in the only important category runs three to two another foul out of play and into the second deck here the press box about three booths down from here we've had quite a few up our way in this series already we'll be giving you the standings and some of these statistical individual leaders in the next couple of half innings although some of the standings have changed now with results already completed today [Music] one and two the capital of florida [Music] oh that sticker just broke into the dirt block by downing wall two and strike two dotson will pitch against steve mccaddy monday afternoon in oakland brook burns against brian kingman tuesday night the ball game will carry here on channel nine and wednesday afternoon in the final game of the road trip ross baumgarten is scheduled to come back against rick langford the right-hander or the a's off day thursday and then the socks open up a seven-game six-day home stand friday night against the same ball club california foul on a play down the right field side still two and two to the floor [Music] big crowd here on t-shirt night at the big a over 40 000 here the 2-2 delivery just missed hide inside a full count franco has walked free and he is struck out four [Music] and like ross bob garden he's throwing a lot of pitches [Music] bouncing ball to third hobson feels it bad crawl safe the floor beats it out even though peru fielded it on one hop and they'll give la florida infield single on that here's another look get a weak chopper down the third base line it looked almost like it first bounced in foul territory option who has a terrible throwing arm one hopped at the crew but leflore beat it by an eyelash so ronnie now has two hits tonight that'll help out that 215 average that's his fourth two hit ball game of the year [Music] and the lead off man is on and more importantly with the floor's base stealing abilities sox have a chance now to move him down and get him into scoring position there he goes on the first pitch a ball throw to second not in time lefleur in there with his 13th steal of the year and 15 tries and that makes it 13 straight ball games now the white sox have stolen at least one base well he didn't waste any time squires left the butt took that pitch for a ball here's the floor and actually downing's one hop throw was not bad it was just a bit late [Music] well that's what the white sox got the floor for and he is certainly giving them huge dividends in that department his 13th steal of the year he is behind henderson and cruz now squires with a chance to drive in an insurance run here he is sacrificed and fly to center and he's going to sacrifice again any bunch had fouled on the third base side [Music] socks playing this just like they did in the first inning when the floor led off with a double squire sacrificed into third and fifth drove in with a fly ball to the left here he gets an infield hit a steal of second and a one-on-one count on squires the angels have somebody heating up in the bullpen now we cannot tell from our angle here who it is [Music] way outside ball two and strike one again squires was gonna bunt [Music] the angels again having trouble here at home they're 8 and 13 here and they're 13 and 8 on their own spike to call and squires can't believe it boy both clubs are really giving it to al clark tonight behind home plate lemon was really heated in the previous sitting and now squires who normally didn't say much is really giving it to al clark two balls and two strikes let's take another look at that pitch what dick flanders our director of the truck agreed that pitch was hired away you don't think dick's a little biased do you two and two the count now the butt signal will be taken off ball three and that pitch looked like a strike from our advantage point park is really searching for that strike zone he's been very inconsistent a full count out of mike squires that might have been a make good spanky checking things over with bobby wiggles the third base coach there's lefleur taking his lead at second [Music] ball four [Music] that's the fourth walk off renko and he is just about to get the hook here i have a suspicion two on nobody out six [Music] sacrifice fly for an rbi is 23rd of the year in the first inning of the ballgame the last time up he bounced off the short now he comes up with bet on first and second nobody out and i wouldn't be at all surprised here if they ordered pudge to bunt he's been struggling at the plate now time is called and hops in the third baseman comes over to have a word with his teammate not only just here but also the last couple of years in boston steve renko yeah four former red sox in the starting lineup tonight [Music] well that's gonna be it trigozi comes out with a hook and rinko will leave with two out of nobody out here in the fifth inning so steve pitched four plus innings tonight he's allowed three runs at this point all earned on five hits he struck out four and walked forward winco shaking his head in disgust as he walks off the diamond so we're gonna have our first pitching change of the night and we'll have to wait and see who it is coming out of the angel right field bullpen and while we're waiting on this well it looks like sanchez no it's jesse jefferson who was warming up earlier former sox right-hander jesse jefferson jefferson coming on here with two on nobody out to replace the starter steve ricco here in the top of the fifth sox leading by a run jefferson as i mentioned formerly with the white sox so far this year he has pitched in 10 games previously he started five of them and he's worked 44 and two-thirds innings allowing 41 hits 17 earned runs 14 strikeouts 11 walks he's given up two home run balls his record is one and four with a 3.43 earned average no saves jesse jefferson one and four he started the second game of the year for the angels he's bounced around lifetime against the white sox he is three and two he was all-in-one with the toronto blue jays against us a year ago he was 31 in march and he still makes his home where he was born in midlothian virginia six three 215 pounds he came up initially with the baltimore orioles in 1973 he was traded to the white sox in 75 he was five and nine with the white sox the second half of 75 and he was two and five with the white sox in 76 and he went to toronto in the expansion draft and he had his best year if you want to call it that in 1977 when he was 9 and 17. he was 7 and 16 the following year with the blue jays and in eight years in the major leagues this guy's only won 37 and he has lost 81. [Music] jesse jefferson so he'll face carl and fist with runners on it first and second nobody out sox leading by a run here in the top of the fifth [Music] this goal for one that pad didn't go to bat he takes a pitch low for a ball ball won the one run lead tony may be going for a knockout here he's got fisk lucinski and baines in that order now [Music] the ball one pitch to fisk strike and that pitch was low on outside that wasn't even close and fisk says something to al clark you can tell he's not happy with that call clark has been missing most of his calls low he had just he just plain does not have an idea where that strike zone is [Music] one ball and one strike carl and fist batting with two on nobody out did he go yep he did one ball and two strikes that pitch looked like it was down and in tell you the batters after you get a couple of strikes called on you that you just know in your own mind are out of the strike zone then you're tempted to go to almost anything that looks close up there it's trying to protect the plate clark's having a shaky night behind the plate normally this is a pretty good crew palermo the crew chief is at first base he'll work tomorrow's game inside two and two [Music] white sox by the way put three more points on their team batting average with 15 hits last night they're now the top hitting ball club in the major leagues with a 289 team mark there's the bull waiting to swing on deck two balls and two strikes to fisk and he steps out the floor let it off with an infield hit opson one hop to throw to kuru that leflore beat by an eyelash at first and squires then walked on a full count and that's where we are right now with a two and two count the fist with wenko out of the ball game and jefferson on all right bouncer over hops and 10 and it skips into left field the run will score and it's four to two in favor of the white sox as fisk and a high chopper over hobson's head and under burleson's glove into left field a seeing eye single for carl and fisk his second run better than tonight his 24th of the year and the sox have a two run lead here's another look he chopped that ball right into the hard clay near home plate hops and late fourth couldn't get it and it skipped by burleson who cut behind him i wonder if they would have had to play anyway here's the bull he has walked twice tonight the 25th and 26th walks of the year form he scored a run still nobody out the hit goes against jefferson the run charge torrenco and he's still responsible for squires on its second there's a bouncing ball short and they'll have to go to first with it lesinsky out by a step squires did a great job of shielding the ball from the shortstop burles and he timed it so that he got by just as the ball got there and burleson had to wait on it they could not double up anybody so losing bounces to short but he advances the runners there's the throw well bainsey with a five-game hitting string is struck out twice against franco tonight now he's a chance to really do some damage the runner is at second and third one out and a run in sox now leading by two here in the fifth inning [Music] rips one deep to left center field long run for lynn he won't get it that'll score two things in the second with a double it's six to two in favor of the white sox he ripped that ball on a line drive over freddie lynn's hand he short hopped it off the left center field fence between the 386 and the 404 sign and baynes extends his hitting streak to six games and he has knocked in two runs with that double his 16th and 17th rbis of the year he got a knee-high pitch right out over the strike zone and boy did he shalilious that's the third double of the year for baines and his second two bagger in this series boy is he on a street [Music] three runs are in the third run now is charged to jefferson and the white sox have a four run lead here in the fifth inning that closes out the books on renko five runs all earned there's a ball to chad levin who has a seven game hitting string on the line he has bounced to third and struck out al de aquisto now heating up in the angel bullpen baines on its second one out three runs are in there's a knee-high strike [Music] for some real timely hitting tonight the angels had plenty of opportunities early chad almost hit for that pitch he wheeled away ball two and strike one and downing going out now to see if he can't settle jefferson down [Music] well ross baumgarten who has struggled tonight but been tough when he had to be now finds himself in the driver's seat with a four-run lead here in the top of the fifth inning blowing away ball three and strike one jefferson obviously not the answer here gave up a signal to fisk got nozinski to bounce out and there's fregozi doesn't look too happy chet pops it up went for a high pitch downing tosses the mask away and he gloves it and foul territory looked like that would have been ball four but chet a bit over anxious as a three in one count jumped on it and fouled it out this is wgn television nine chicago america's number one sports station here's bernazard who is two for two at a run score tonight two out he has a chance to pick up thames on second [Music] five of the six runs charged to the starter steve renko the third run in this inning charged to jefferson well berniezard steps out [Music] the ball down low ball one to burnazzad [Music] bouncing ball headed up the middle it's a base set bernazard is three for three and harold bane scores the fourth run of the inning it is now seven to two in favor of the white sox and the blue birds are on the home club here the angels bernazzite is three for three and for tony that is his 4-3 hit ball game of the year that is his 13th run bad at him [Music] well hitting sometimes can be a contagious thing we saw it happen up in toronto or the whole club was in a slot who gave him a couple of opportunities to battle the way out of it and they were tough winning the middle game but almost the final game of that series four runs are in two off jefferson here in the top of the fifth inning there goes the runner strike at the knees throw to second not in time beating the tag was burnished his fourth steal of the year and the socks are two out of two tonight and 37 out of 47 for the year let's take another different look at this [Music] boy oh boy are the socks playing some kind of baseball [Music] it looked like it looked like grits was lazy getting down on that one that was not a bad throw the ball just off the corner at the knees morrison is in a deep fly to left and is walked and then got himself hung up in the hot box between second and third to take us out of the two-run fourth inning that was a third out so jimmy zoe for one he's trying to battle his way out of the slump one-on-one the count foul back one ball and two strikes a four run fifth inning for the white sox and they now lead it seven to two jefferson has been touched for three hits and two runs here and two-thirds of an inning and relief of renko put the first two men on before leaving now the angels are going to have pitching problems all year unless they pull something out of the hat a hanging curve over morrison's head ball two and strike two there's no doubt this california ball club is going to score a lot of runs there's forgosie again [Music] he's got to be dying inside get a terrible year from start to finish a year ago after a magnificent 1979 season when the angels finally won their first divisional title they overcame a lot of injuries in 79 last year they just couldn't do it [Music] there's a smash on one hop and it handcuffs grits he picks it up and throws too late morrison beats it up runners at first and third a very unhappy crowd at 42 558 here there's another look that ball just handcuffed rich he took it on the short hop and he gets a boot and that is the 47th error of the year for the angels there's larussa [Music] you couldn't tell by the look on his face that his ball club is up by five could you i can't that's his courtroom look so the inning is still alive and here's billy alvin who's two run single put us ahead in the previous inning [Music] the ball outside 401. runners at first and third two out and four runs in ball two outside not even close [Applause] well the white sox have now batted around all in the ninth man to that [Music] allman started tonight in 326 seventh highest batting average in the league he has 12 games of two hits or better including a two hit performance last night so he's three for six right now in the series what a surprise he has been both on the field and at the plate inside ball three [Music] well i suspect that mr jefferson will probably get the hook if he puts allman on lafleur on deck looking for a second opportunity to swing the bat in the ceiling he let it off with an infield hit oh they gave billy the green light and he waved at it three and one allman does not have much home run power he was trying to yank one out of here with a 3-0 count in his favor alma now with 15 rbis for the most part batting in the number nine spot wall floor is on [Music] the first walk off jefferson in the fifth for the white sox and here comes the skipper the bases are loaded now rogozi making another trip to the mound and they're going to bring in the aquisto so jefferson failed to get the job done he lasted two-thirds he's been touched for two runs on three hits and a walk and al dia quisto running in for the right field bullpen for the angels former national leaguer [Music] the aquisto has worked five games in relief he's pitched 16 innings which indicates he is kind of a long-inning reliever so that 17 hits 16 runs 15 earned he has locked 10 and struck out eight he has an earned average of 8.44 with no wins or losses nor any save in five previous appearances the aquisto is six foot two inch 195 pound right hander born in san diego still makes his home in san diego and he'll be 30 years of age this coming christmas day last year with san diego he was two and three and 39 appearances and he was all in two with montreal so he was two and five on the year a total of three saves he's on now the third angel pitcher here in the fifth inning the white sox will send their tenth man the floor to the plate he'll be the first man that de quisto pitches against the floor let off the inning with an infield single down the third base line he stole second and scored the first of the four runs in the inning so the floor will come to the plate with the bases loaded and two out well we're about set now right socks shooting for their 21st win of the year would be six out of the last seven and four out of five on this road trip the victory tonight evens us up at 10 and 10 away from home sox have won 11 of 16 at home this year well the high water mark of the season was a 10-3 start and then of course we lost eight out of the last 10 on that 13-game road trip dropped to one game over sox have not been back to the 500 mark since the second game of the year the floor takes inside a ball he's two for three with two runs scored his first two hit game in quite a while his fourth of the year he has six games in which he's hit two or more hits a couple of three hit efforts there's bernazard at third there's a look at the runners at second and third there's a strike a slider on the outside corner at the knees one-on-one the count right-hander al dia christo from san diego swinging strike two boy that looked like a good pitch to hit one ball two strikes to the floor his average has jumped from 215 to 229 tonight for those two hits he scored four runs so far in this series [Music] and he scored a run in the first inning of all three games up in toronto foul back belt high fastball still one and two [Music] at the moment jefferson has been charged with two runs on three hits and a walk and two-thirds of an inning and of course if any of the three runners score it'll be added to his run total one-two pitch just a bit low now da quisto thought he had had a call third strike but that was a better pitch than some of them that have been called for strikes tonight and again al clark is wavering behind the plate now he's he's given it pretty good to forgosie the angel dugout they thought they had leflore struck out and quite frankly that looked like a pretty decent pitch compared to some of them he's called strikes tonight 2-2 delivery quack foul out of play on the first base side and the count rides at ball two and strike two [Music] yeah the big hit of the inning was harold baines two-run double fisk has an rbi in this inning burnished with his third hit has to run by it in this inning another high foul out of play on the right field side is still two and two to la flora [Music] biggest crowd of the year here 42 558. angels now are averaging just well about 29.5 for home date they reached the 350 000 mark here tonight in the 22nd home playing date of the year two two pitch to the floor bouncing ball to burleson it's short he shovels to gretchen they get the force play at second on albany that retires the side ten men came to the plate and the white sox scored four times on one two three four hits there was an error a couple of walks and three big runners left on we reached the halfway point here at anaheim the white sox seven the angels two next take on the oakland a's tuesday night at 9 30 and don't miss the cubs when they battle the montreal expos tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock right here on wgn television nine in chicago america's number one sports station don't forget following tonight's telecast stay tuned for channel nine's network news with all the national and international stories from our anchor team in new york well rice baumgarten who has been shaky [Music] left six runners on base through the first three innings tonight when he was trailing in the ball game 2-1 now has himself a five run lead to work with going to the bottom of the fifth danny ford will lead it off to be followed by freddie lynn and don baylor ford singled and scored in the first inning tap to the mound leaving two men on at second and third in the second inning so he is one for two gloss has given up six hits and walked three in four innings of work tonight board with that super close stance it's a high pop foul it's going to be out of play behind the white sox first base [Music] dugout the wind tonight would be the white sox eighth consecutive victory here over two years and would be the eighth straight over the california angels [Music] it took the season series ten games to three last year the angels winning three out of four the first time they played in chicago after the white sox had taken three straight here the white sox went on to win the final six strike two a beauty so danny ford now no hold on to the count ford leading off the fifth of the angels [Music] ross is fan one there's that closed stance way outside and low he wasted one a ball and two strikes the pitching matchups and all probability for tuesday's ball game from oakland here on channel nine will be rick burns who was the starting and winning pitcher in last night's ball game and brian kingman for the a's swing out of this he struck him out as ross took something off that delivery here's another another look now and on the first base side is ford swung through that breaking ball good curveball by ross that's his second strikeout he pitched down and to forward and that's where you almost have to pitch this guy the way he sets up here's freddie lynn an rbi double and her unscored in the first inning when he hit one in the gap to left center the last time up he bounced the shorts so he's one for two tonight two hits and seven advance in the series he's struggling with that bad leg he takes a whack and a curveball i missed it [Music] another curve and it's popped up squires calling for it near the first base bag two out [Music] rob don baylor with an rbi single and a deep drive to left that lefleur leaped and speared taking a home run away from him the last time up so baylor is hit lost hard twice tonight one for two to show for it he's giving indications of coming out of that slump he can carry a ball club as he did the angels in 79 for a whole month drove in 34 runs in july of 79. high and away ball won and baylor that year had to go to the outfield because the angels had so many players down with injuries and what a job he did and he was rewarded with the mvp award for 1979 and deservedly so foul back one-on-one [Music] last year the big guy had a fractured wrist he played for about three weeks with a broken bone in his wrist and they wondered why he wasn't doing anything finally excavated his second time and realized that he had a hairline fracture of one of the small bones in his wrist and he was out for about six weeks there's a beauty a change-up curve right in there at the knees one ball and two strikes to baylor who glares at al clark well ross has not retired decide in order although he faced only three men in the fourth running hopson led off with a hit and then the sox retired decide on the double play ball but burleson ross as we tag the first two men here ground ball foul down the third base side it's still one and two to baylor the dodgers the second straight day at extra innings beat the reds to increase their division lead in the national league west to six and a half [Music] dave stewart won his third ball game and relief for the second in as many days at cincinnati allen's win of fifth state innings got no decision a check swing foul out of play on the right the cubs beat the expo six to four today rick russell won his second ball game of the year over former cut right-hander ray burris [Music] dodgers hit four home runs today and jake johnstone's pinch home run in the ninth leading off bale valenzuela out [Music] garvey thomas and say all homer for the dodgers the phillies beat the pirates tonight and mike crowley picked up the win former sox right-hander got his first victory for the phillies low ball two and two to baylor takalvi took the loss that's ten straight losses for the string bean right-hander over the last two years jason thompson over for the bucks phillies win it at pittsburgh six to four and they had 29 hits in that ball again 15 for the phillies cardinals beat the mets so they maintain a one game lead there's a drive left field i don't think lefleur is going to catch this one it's in a mile on the air he caught it again that's two home runs that baylor has lost this one was down near the foul pole where the fence is even lower than it is and straight away left and leflore got back there and hauled it in just got under it a little bit too much he's hit two tremendously high drives tonight and lefleur has taken two home runs away [Music] from don baylor and when you're going back that's the way it goes three up and three down for the angles in the fifth inning after five here at anaheim the white sox seven california too with a 372 mark for the houston astros still leading baked mcbride and young broderick perfect uh perkins of san diego in the national league batting race in home runs mike schmidt of the phillies tops of ages with 13. andre dawson of the expos has 11. and davey concepcion continues to lead the nice league and runs about it with 32 the cincinnati red shortstop leads schmidt by a pair in the american league kenny singleton these are the official american league stats which uh demand a much larger number of at bats singleton with a 370 67 mark leading dewey evans and carney lansford both of the red sox storm and gorman thomas of the brewers a one home run lead over dewey evans and singleton also have nine of peace evans with 10. and singleton with 29 rbis leave the american league and runs batted in evans and murphy wayne murphy of open with 27 a piece also tony armist with 27 and buddy bell with 25. so those are league leaders get average home runs and runs batted in squires will lead off the sixth inning for the white sox who have a five run lead here anaheim strike from the right-hander al de acousto the third pitcher used by jim ferguson tonight spanky is sacrificed fly to center walked and scored so he is over one expires at the moment hitting 303 where he's lost four points on his average white sox have seven runs on eight hits the angels two runs six hits and the game's on the air high and away a ball one-on-one white sox took a one-nothing lead in the first the angels scored two with four consecutive hits off ross baumgarten after the first two men were out and they're half of the first inning billy allman's two-run single with two outs put the socks ahead in the fourth and they set ten men at the plate and scored four runs in the fifth and that's where we are now in the sixth inning a 7-2 score one bottom two strikes to squires will be followed by fisk and [Music] lucinski at houston the astros beat the giants five to three giants playing some good baseball on the advantage of frank robinson they were two over until the ball game today mccarty got the victory in relief if burn ruler just came off the disabled list ed whitson the starting and losing pitcher for the giants five to three astros cardinals maintained their one game lead over the eastern division and the philadelphia phillies with an eight to two win over the new york mets at busch stadium tonight wall two and

relief of san diego laner is home to that ball game seven to six atlanta there's ball three going inside the oakland a's maintained their spread in the western division of the american league with a 15 inning 3-2 win over the toronto blue jays this afternoon they're now in the bottom of the 14th at kansas city no score between the royals and the twins there's a bouncer to burleson takes it on a belt high hop and squires is out here's fisk a sacrifice fly for a run battered in the first ground ball is short in the third and the seeing eye single that hopped over hobson's head and by burleson to drive in a run in the four run fifth inning so pudge nice 24 runs batted in one for two tonight [Music] erickson and split off in some kind of a battle at kansas city tonight 14th inning no score up and in ball one to fifth seattle leading texas three to nothing bottom of the sixth that's young brian clark pitching against the former mariner left header rick hunnicutt who's three and one for texas if seattle hangs on to win it and the white sox winner tonight will open up a game and a half late over the third place rangers and will stay two and a half behind the a's baltimore maintained their lead in the american legislation with a 15-hit attack two homers by descent say flanagan beat the tigers at detroit today 9-2 another lost to a left-handed pitcher for the tigers who have really had problems against left-handers swinging strike to kyle and fisk one to count the yankees with dave righty in his last chance to make it with the box bombers he pitched a five-hit ball game tonight and they beat rick wakes and cleveland three to two ricketti winning his first ball game he was 5-0 down in columbus and he was brought up after the yankees traded spencer at underwood to the a's for dave rivering there's a call strike two to fisk one and two to punch the red sox have won six in a row 14 out of 17 as they pounded out 15 hits and beating the brewers at milwaukee eight to one dave schmidt homer in tight in the long fist almost stepped into that pitch two and two he's already been hit seven times this year so that catches us up with all the scores in the standings here and we're in the top of the sixth in anaheim well that pitch came right in under his hands it actually didn't miss the strike zone by too much fisk tends to crowd the plate and lean into it anyway two and two to fist one out here in the top of the sixth inning that pitch look good and look at the aquisto glaring in there well at least it hasn't been all one way tonight clark has been jawed at by both sides tonight a full count second full count in a row now for aldi equisto fisk pops one power out of play that looked like a good pitch to send downtown still three and two [Music] [Music] and it's the sixth side here's the bowl he is walked walked and scored and passed ashore he's over one tonight but he is hit four homers and knocked in 10 runs on this road trip [Music] one on one out a drive to right danny ford circling under it and he squeezes it for the second out [Applause] so there are two down and now harold baines who struck out twice and then lined a two-run double over freddie lens had the deep left center his last time up to extend his current hitting binge to six straight ball games and eight out of nine coming in tonight on the five-game string he had hit safely in 15 out of the 22 previous advance ace blistering 682 face remains at 316 that's where he started tonight strike it looks like a high strike there harold started the binge a week ago today when he was four for four against the rangers he did not play then in sunday's ball game in chicago high pop foul out of play on the third base side two strikes on baines maine's went into that ball game a week ago today hitting 228. so he has put 88 points on his batting hands in a week's time [Music] fisk and karoo peru 14 times in all-star fists seven times in all-star [Music] bouncing ball and it takes a tricky hop burleson almost overrated he throws back against the grain to get the first play at second that ball took a right angle hop that retires aside no runs no hits are walking one left we head to the bottom of the sixth inning here at anaheim the white sox seven the angels two on tuesday night at seven right here on channel nine hello dolly with barbra streisand and walter matthau the delightful musical masterpiece hello dolly tuesday night here on channel nine at seven o'clock well in the bottom of the sixth inning the angels will send up brian downing bobby gritch and bobby clark in that order to face left-hander ross baumgarten who's coasting right now with a five-run lead it certainly didn't start out that way brian the victory tonight would even ross at four and four on the year and would give him twice as many wins in 1981 than he had all of a year ago when he was two and 12. downing single to right in the first inning walked in the third so he's one for one tonight two for five in the two games [Music] five ball one ross was saying in the bus tonight coming over to the ballpark how he envied valenzuela and his scroogie ball two up and in 2-0 although this is really our first in-depth look at valenzuela pitch 19 scoreless innings late in the season in the dodgers last year he did not have his best day he stuck out only three and walked six and he's responsible for two throwing errors there's a strike two in one to count it's very evident in watching the young man pitch he does have a tremendous amount of poise for a 20 year old youngster and he does have a lot of great stuff we don't have the kind of a record he has had so far this year without having all of those ingredients ball three and it looks like ross is rushing a bit now and fisk is gonna go out and slow him down three and one to count the downing leading it off ross has struck out two and he's walked three giving up six hits he has retired the last five minutes faced but again the floor took a home run at the left-field wall away from baylor ball four up in the line so the lead-off man is on the fourth [Music] [Applause] popped the shallow center actually was almost medium center and it was burnished who hauled it in after check misjudged the ball and it saved two runs came with two out and two men on the first inning last time up gritsch walked on four straight wide ones so he has overwon the night and one for five in the series there's the skipper [Music] off speed breaking ball low ballin [Music] i would imagine if gritsch reaches here we're going to have some activity in a hurry tony doesn't want to let this five run lead slip away [Music] a bouncing ball foul he followed off his right ankle it looked like a ball and a strike to gritch ross baumgarten a high school teammate of twins third baseman john castino they both let the new trailer east cristino was a great basketball player in the high school ranks as well rich pops it up oh that's a king-sized major league pop-up allman calling for it [Music] the back up at the last minute there's one out here's bobby clark who has walked and struck out he's over one tonight hold for two in the series you gotta walk and a strikeout in last night's ball game [Music] one on one out bottom of the sixth trout and zom will match pitches here tomorrow afternoon three o'clock chicago time in the final game of this series and then it's on to open all right inside ball one [Music] ground ball base hit right field [Applause] stopping at second is downey well that's the seventh hit off ross bomb garden just a little grass cutter perfectly placed in the hall to right here's another look at it it has not been an easy night for us although he has a five-run lead at the moment and fifth meets him at the mound with butch hopson who is two for two coming up he blooped a little pop-up single just out of burniszard's reach down the right-field line in the second inning and then he hit a rope to the left for a base hit his last time up danny lamp who was up throwing as early as the second inning is up and heating up again now for the white sox we will not see lamar hoyt tonight i would assume he has worked in four straight ball games and really labored yesterday working three and a third ran out of gas in the ninth inning and farmer came on to get the save getting the final out after hickey had retired the second man in the ninth inning white sox hoping for a double play ball low ball one well the angels have not scored since the first inning when they bunched four straight hits together after the first two men are out they left two men on and the first two in the second two in the third now they have two on one out here in the fifth there's a base hit the left hobson is three for three the floor charging the ball and they're going to hold the runner up the bases are loaded well that wakes up the crowd and now you've got the ever dangerous rod guru coming up with the bases loaded and one out the hits are even at eight of peace does hobson is three for three tonight and four for seven in the series this got to have another word with ross patching on the seat of the pants often the shortstop waits for him on the mound there's lamp heating up in the bullpen then a slider sinker ball pitcher here's rodney klein carew seven-time batting champion he has an eight-game hitting string on the line he runs for four last night he has slide to center sacrificed and bounced into a fourth play so he is all for two tonight the bases are loaded with one out here in the bottom of the sixth inning and now ross wants to come in to have a word with fisk [Applause] it's been a struggle for ross tonight but we're waiting now with an open stance all right ball one bomb garden is on the ropes here even though he has a five run lead base has loaded one out carew in the batters bus oh he fooled him with a change curve one ball and one strike that was about as feeble to swing as you'll see carew make it [Music] he knew he'd been had as he started his swing one ball and one strike [Applause] swinging strike two that time ross had some juice on that one one ball and two strikes to count [Applause] [Applause] hello tune two will be 36 in october 14 times an all-star 12 consecutive times at 300 or better the only time he failed to hit 300 his first two full years with the twins and even then he made the all-star team came up as a second baseman here's the 2-2 pitch all three looked like ross tried to overthrow that one a full count the carew there's bobby winkles and tony larussa watching intently from the sox dugout this might be it for ross if carew gets on that would score a run and bring the tying run to the plate here's the payoff pitch to carrow he struck him on swinging oh what a big out three strikeouts for ross pondgarden now there are two out the bases are jammed and burleson who was all for three tonight with a 15-game hitting strike on the line coming up he threw a hard slider right by kuru here's burleson the rooster base has loaded two out [Applause] he's won for eight in the series and he's lost 10 points on his batting average it's now at 3 18. [Applause] low ball one block by fisk ross is going to work on the ball a little bit well they're now in the bottom of the 15th at kansas city no score between the twins and the royals while two just missed up and away two it on out of burleson at third brian downing well the other two runners clark at second hobson at first two out bases loaded ball two to rick burleson [Applause] little chapter almond who caught it on the fly that retires the side so ross palm garden got off the hook a little broken back looper to almond for the third out there's the third strike on kuru again that's the biggest out of the ball game no runs two hits a walk and three big runners left on the angels have stranded nine through six innings and after six complete here at the big a the white sox seven the california angels two [Music] along with harry kerry back in anaheim boy we got ourselves out of a real jam ron carus swung at three bad pitches and struck out and then with the cow 2-0 and a five-run deficit burleson in a 2-0 pitch right on the fist so i want to tell you right now do you like that area a big money class well i'd say right now deficit that's i have money you know i know you do the very first dollar all right here we go top of the seven first pitch to chet lemon [Music] there's a curveball in their first strike call hey swings and misses lemon is hitler's open three you know a lot of managers today have got away from the simple fundamentals of the game when you're five runs behind what do you want a little guy trying to hit the ball at a ballpark for the base is loaded when a guy has missed with two pitches high and outside why would you want to try to get a base on balls and keep an ending going that's not second guessing harry throughout the years we always took pitches like that if a guy was having trouble getting it over now to wind up the pitch here it is swung on a bouncing ball down the first baseline peru fields [Applause] apparently thought it was going to be an easy play by kurua himself and didn't come off the mound at all lemon beat him to the back lemon had a half swing at that ball now watch what happens right here you young people please don't dive like this lemon hurts his hand but he really hustles down to get to the bag and dia custo is not there but here's lemon jamming his right hand and it's really bothering him now as you're looking at it boy that is the worst thing you can do is to slide well you've only been saying that for the last three four or five years that someday he's gonna get hurt slightly he's gonna hurt he's gonna bust his hand is what he's gonna do or his shoulder it's a shame because you know he's he's starting to play a little bit better hit the ball better maybe and now he might get himself out of the lineup while he gets an infield hit here it is again now all he had to do was just run he had it easy heaton wasn't going to make a tag on him now you see he might have even stepped on him right there too it hurt him bad saw herman schneider our trainer who lost about 65 pounds you know he's just yawning thoughts he's just yawning we're winning duchy oh you're hungry well let's get some scores here it's an early ball game we'll take have a nice leisurely dinner somewhere afterwards here it's almost 10 o'clock they close up restaurants around 10 o'clock do they really new york defeated cleveland

they're ahead three to nothing in the sixth and getting back here to the ballpark in anaheim we lead seven to two lemon is alright he's staying in the ball game here's bernazzod trying for a four for four day here's the pitch by dia cristo instead over the first base of the runner back bernazar we got an ad up here leslie she reminds my first fight no matter what i do it's wrong there's a line drive another hit for burnazar his fourth hit in a row [Applause] singles to left he's four out of four he's well over the 300 mark third baseman jim bernazzard has stolen two bases left-handed and one base right-handed for a total of three so he's really going at it [Music] here's morrison he's been in a slump he's trying to break his way out of it gang here from northern illinois university runners at first and second good there's [Music] but a perfect sacrifice boy morrison a good punter really laid down a perfect bunt [Music] yeah because the pitcher now almost is in his way now watch how he feels it one-handed and throws it right from there and gets him he got more on that ball and he had his balls in his series so runners at second and third and here's bill alma now roman drove in two big runs in the fourth to put the white sox ahead three to two so his is the game-winning rbi i like eight better than seven harry infield is in almond the batter the delivery there's a bloopers in the short right field a base hit one run is in here's another man trying to score now he goes back the throw was wild he could have made it on the throw i think i'm watching little league baseball in the big leagues nowadays i'm not even trying to describe that because it was really hot he broke his bed as you'll see right here he's trying to go the other way now it drops bernazzard is coming around third because he thinks he can score he changes his mind now and goes back but it goes by the catcher he doesn't know what to do right here well let me see i don't know i'll go back both runners are second and third one run home eight to two now and here's ground left floor the infield's still in runners again on second and third i like nine better than eight now the best strong allowing drive and the right field going to be caught bernazard tagging up the catches made here's the man scoring and after the catch almond goes to third boy what a sacrifice fly ford made that play look much tougher than i think it really was well watch him go on now as he comes to this ball he's not running very hard because he's got a bad leg now it gets in his glove and he almost drops it watch it flip out of there what oh ice cream cone served me up a deuce here comes bernie to score that ninth run did you take your pill today i'm hungry right now i'll tell you that runner and third two men out i have one of you out here you talk so much relax for a minute two men are out the pitch smash off the second baseman's glove another one score two thousand almost forty three thousand showing their disgust a base hit per square an rbi how you saw ferguson watch it again watch what is backs up on this ball and when he backs up it eats him up watch him go back for the ball see now it's off his glove you can't back up on that ball like that you don't have much support in your legs three runs in it's ten to two now in favor of the white side [Music] here's fisk he's driven in two

this pitcher has surgery for removal of bone chips from his right elbow [Music] the delivery inside and high ball two two balls with a strike come on bull hit one two and two rather somebody might

lucinski pulls up at second with a double lesinsky now has driven in 20 runs has he learned to double into the right field corner and it's 12-2 harry i want to tell you dean custo is pitching that ball away from him so what does the bull do he just hit it out there like a shot right down into the corner and here you'll see it watch that short compact swing all away from him anybody else hit that ball never go like that he's right on the end of the bat but watch it go right into the corner and both runs are going to score easy the squares and fifth score 12 to two in favor of the white sox they've had five in the lucky seventh here's baines now the fifth turbo inside almost one ball no strikes what's that 20 rpm go now mass exodus again i wish they'd go early so i could get out of

dollars harry you know what he bought this team for one three men the one million nine three something probably with 50 now i don't know what it's worth but now to stretch the pitch to baines here it

bottom of the seven here's danny four would you believe that the angels led this game in the first inning two to one that was about three weeks ago would you believe they could have scored as many runs as we got up there if they got any timely hitting because they have less than on base every inning but one there's a change up and ford was way out in front of miss well that was a good change of the other ones he was throwing nine men left already so they've had chances oh yeah as i said they've had their chances white sox have made 12 runs on 13 hits there's a slow curve swing off two strikes on the ball you think we got enough let's get one more for the 13 run pullers okay we got 13 hits did that count nope two strikes on the ball [Music] our baumgarten is ready the delivery bouncing ball foul i hope everybody is enjoying their holiday harry be careful that's all i got to say i hope you're getting the kind of weather we are out here just excellent you know danny ford looks like uh that off-speed pitch might be his weakness i'll tell you one thing he certainly has a stance that you think he could pitch to but when he hit a homerun the other night off of palmer he's just a good hitter two strikes on the ball [Music] now the delivery here it is fastball outside two balls two strikes every time bungarden tries to throw a fastball by somewhere he ducking it over

pitch swung ground ball to the right of morris a nice play long throw for the yacht hey he really took the heck out of that ball you know what he threw it right away good play by morrison on that play well this ball's not hit awfully hard jams him now you see the half swing i want the backhand but he throws it right now right over him yeah over the top and got it easy i guess it's confidence he's got to get in that play [Music] here's freddie lynn one out of three drove in the run on the first mimic [Music] you know bomb guard had two out of nobody on of the first inning went forward singled lin doubled him in and baylor singled him in and they haven't scored since now the pitch a little bit inside and high what is the next telecast next telecast is next tuesday night from oakland one strike to nothing kansas city finally won that game over minnesota one to nothing here's the pitch inside and out george brett crawled to the plate he probably went up on crutches gonna have to get this shot where he didn't have to get a designated runner to go around the bay there's a pitch follow back i like the shot where he hit that photographer in the head with the crutch two strikes on the ball one out that was not in george's character though and he apologized the next day for it two strikes in a ball one out i got it i got it i got it oh rich king missed that ball that would have gone right into the radio bowl two strikes rich king gets fined twenty dollars for blowing that ball i didn't catch it one away ball game in the seventh now bomb garden is ready ground ball up the middle of basement lynn singles to center and he's on baumgarten isn't exactly fooling him that's the tenth hit in seven innings and he's also locked four or five you know harry this is one game that nobody wants to come out of that bullpen you can't get a save he's walked four allowed ten hits in seven innings well that's 14 men on base right there to talk to him again i wish he'd tell him it's three hours old and we're leading by 10. there's baylor now baylor is one out of three [Music] [Applause] tony bono from chicago baylor has sent the floor twice right against the fence one for a great catch the other one for a little bit of a show but the first one really he took it away from a home run when he jumped up against the fence and caught it there's a mitchell behind outside mike bittini here from chicago coots is in left field [Music] one out one on baylor waiting the delivery high ball two would it you know what a day game tomorrow you wonder if you might give a few guys a rest hey the season they might have for the rest of the year the rest with a strike let's play and win you don't want to arrest anybody else i said i with a 10 game 10 run lead you might rest a couple of guys but tomorrow no no oh you see you're reading that nancy and tommy hurd are here from beautiful homewood there's a strikeout oh boy al clark behind that plate tonight he's got everybody baylor is so big and so upset right now he better walk away from me heard him [Music] i wouldn't want to have down baylor look at the size of that man two balls and a strike he's a fine gentleman too i'll tell you that but nobody likes a ball it's a ball i'll call a strike here's the pit hop dead up on the infield that ought to be easy spires calling at the mound and he makes the catch and he almost stumbled on a rubber harriet one of the things that helped the white side i mean the clevelandians lose dependent one here remember the mound used to be high now watch how he's going up the hill this is not very high but watch him stumble a little bit and have a little trouble with his footing but years ago it was higher and first baseman used to fall over it and couldn't catch the ball [Music] all right two gone [Music] ross baumgarten looking for his fourth victory of the year i have a signal given [Music] the pitches and there are beauty you got the right call got the book on bumgarden how many runs are they getting this year remember last year was so bad now we've got it well he won the the opener before 51 000 plus at comiskey park nine to three then he was knocked out and that beat nine to four then he won four to nothing needing relief then he lost three to two and then a pitch lined in the left field a base hit for downing now the ball gets away from rusty combs here's the ring gonna score and it's 12-3 well i'll tell you lynn is in tremendous pain running the bases i can't understand why he's even playing in a ball game like this right now watch him he is an awful pain this is a pitch inside i watch him rip this ball koos has never played here before and this is a very tricky outfield there you see him running as the ball gets by coach now it circles around and they're going to send him and now it really hurts him as he's coming in to score this run rusty cones playing left field that trouble with that ball as it went around the wall and we're gonna have a new picture coming it looks like dennis lamp that's gonna be all for bob darden you know he uh [Applause] he lost to uh cleveland giving up only three runs remember that's a game that charbonneau beat him with a home run and then he had a shutout in his last start so he has had pretty good support offensively this year absolutely has then a slam who has been a real good three-inning pitcher he doesn't overpower you he'll keep the ball down throw a lot of sliders and different motions but i guess the secret to whatever success he has is turning it over and keeping it in the strike zone down so far this year he is one and one with a three era this is his ninth game he's pitched 18 innings giving up 16 hits they did a couple of home runs off him he has struck out 10 and 1. now number 53. bumgarden to me harry looked like wow he just had trouble with the strike zone and then when he got on a jam is breaking stuff hard sliders got him out of it it looked to me like he it was just a fortune tonight for him that's what it looked like to me he had 12 runs he's in constant trouble i didn't think he had real good stuff at all tonight and this is this way it goes some nights you don't have good stuff but if you can hang in there until your team makes some runs for you that's what happened here tonight the white sox got 12 runs you have to be pretty bad to lose a 12-2 lead but i'm glad he's out of there we'd never get out of here lamp lamp came over in a trade for ken kravik atlanta last several years has pissed over 200 innings so like i said before he's always around the plate and the home run that order hit off him was a breaking ball that he really hit a mile it wasn't one of these things that he just hung a little bit it was that ball down because george order likes the ball down there's bobby gretch now to face down this lamp [Music] [Applause] position [Applause] bobby clark waiting on deck here's the pitch to lamp right in their beauty is strikeoff they have had they got 10 hits in six and two-thirds innings of baumgarten who also walked four struck out two so they've had a lot of base runners have swing and he final tip strike to him in seven innings 14 base runners and have only scored three of them as you say he's a chip off the old time pitcher no relief now lamp is set [Music] just messed with his breaking ball lamp has had some real good outings he lost was on that home run by orton the top of the 16th after he had pitched five innings and relief bouncing ball off his foot it's a foul ball and rolled off rich's foot in the air to dennis lamp this ball sinks inside on him and he hits it right off his left foot [Music] ready only tomorrow will be with you at 2 25 chicago time chris just asked for his protector i'd say it's a little late with a score of 12-3 maybe he figures everything's happening tonight he doesn't want to happen to him nothing like having an old barn dance down by nine now lamp is ready just miss with the breaking ball that evens a count two balls two strikes lamp is making his ninth appearance he's won one he's lost one for the white sox everything has been in relief two balls two strikes [Music] the delivery slug and a cloud tip [Music] many of the fans have headed for home [Music] good friend tom sullivan everybody leaving he just came in you've missed three hours and 17 minutes a thrill [Applause] [Music] two balls two strikes there goes miss anaheim she's leaving too there's lamp [Applause] he's nothing out of two today [Applause] al clark the plate on fire there's a hit in the left field another renaissance that too is charged to baumgarten grit singles to left twelve to four now he gets hit off the fist on this ball and then coots has no chance and it sinks [Music] downing scores nine 12 to four bobby clark just one out of two [Music] walked out on strikes and single are you ready for this seattle leading four to nothing in the eighth yeah but texas has got a chance seattle does it texas right behind the white side there's a tap right back to the mound that'll be easy lamb throws out clark two runs scored on three hits no heirs one left at the end of seven the white sides 12 california four [Music] harry carey back in anaheim we go now to the top of the eighth inning 12 to four in favor of the white sox here's chub lemon who got an infield hit in the seventh freddie pottack is now playing second base [Applause] play so bobby gretch i always like to be paying that payroll harry potter has got to be making about 350. there's a curveball inside and high ball one camping harris is sitting down on the bench one is 39 the other one's 37 who won't chain all those investments the pitch high i thought buzzy bavasi didn't believe in spending money i don't know i think camping errors came before him i don't know about what he had to do two balls no strikes time is called the white sox has scored 12 runs on 13 hits california's made only four on 11 hits tonight while i'm watching television i'm going to figure out how much money strong in this these guys have probably gotten two balls in the strike ball game and the top of the eight another marathon affair three hours and 21 minutes we're only in the eighth inning john de aquisto delivers high ball three started jesse jefferson relieved him and then dia christo released jefferson three balls and a strike bomb all back hey rolls down [Music] off the level here rolls down to the screen three balls two strikes [Applause] chet limit bouncing ball thompson knocks it down fumbles it goes to his knees can't make a play and there on hobson that's a third air tonight this ball is hit rather sharp but a ball you should handle he got his front foot in front of him instead of getting himself braced and kicked the ball out of his glove twelve to four white sides they may break all records for errors they now have 48 and they're leading the league yeah 49 they have three tonight bernazard going for a 5 out of 5. [Music] i want you to read that runner at first found it out of play strike two while the end keeps running in a little trouble their pitching staff tommy john has a stream in the lower back and rich gossage is screened in the middle back [Music] can i read that too much there it doesn't say anything a lot of words don't mean anything oh okay except they both might have pitched tonight two strikes or nothing out of play burners are trying for five out of five [Music] [Applause] the outfield straight away little tony bernazzo has raised his average to 317 with four out of four tonight there's a dry ball going to be caught clark backs up grabs it was that hard i want to see him get five for five what a feeling that is eric that's like a week's work here's morris and he's headless nothing out of two i'm amazed with 12 runs in seven innings now some of our guys are just coming up for the fifth time white sox batted around twice morris in the battle 12 fours a score [Music] about a half of the crowd is still here the rest have gone home five years ago how about panning the stands dick might be an interesting picture especially on the outfield there's a ground ball up the middle stepping on second to one throw into first for two freddie pop that morrison bounced into a double play pontek unassisted at second and over to kuru no runs no hips one air nobody left we go to the bottom of the eighth 12 to four white side harry kerry and jimmy pearson have a lot of changes for the white sox jim essie are now catching prior now at second you've got north hagen in left coos moves to center field there you see some of the empty seats those seats are all jammed earlier [Music] you know harry the white sox are doing things that we didn't do last year getting hits in the double figures on this road trip we were 15 11 13 13 again tonight and that's what we did do last year that's why your score runs well you didn't have the lefleur's fist lucinski bernazzard allman you're talking about practicing a new ball club with those guys you know what gnocchi looks out at our club and he sees what roland has put together for this year for a heck of a lot less than he's been he's got to really think somebody's wrong here's hobson well you don't think lefleur and essien and fisk and rozinski no i'll go along with you there but when you compare it to the salaries for guys like lynn for a guy like hey the umpire clark got hit and that's he's hurting in their arm i think a pitch got away from essien and hit al clark oh hit him right in the left elbow oh that hurts see that's what happens when you're firing behind like that if you don't get your arm behind you you get hit al clark in pain there's the angels trainer working on him [Music] the white sox got behind in the first inning they got a run then california got two then we came back and got two in the fourth four and a fifth five in the seventh [Applause] rick smith was the trainer there were working on al clark one of the four of the white sox are leading the ball game three and a half hours old okay clark is all right well that makes you sick to your stomach when that ball hits you around that area what thompson going for a four out of four night priors at second base i'll tell you coach i'm still for the balloon i want the balloon in front of those umpires it protects them and also they cover the plate better here's hobson [Music] a ball and a strike he got him with a foul tip from hobson's bat [Music] half swing and he files it back two strikes and the ball a lopsided ball game for the white sox in front 12 to four outside 16 runs and there's not been a home run hit tonight [Music] the closest one lefleur made a great catch on baylor 2-2 bench high pump foul out of play another stand a souvenir well i could use a cold budweiser right now there's a smash off allman's glove it'll probably be a hit a low-lying drive allman tried to backhand it on the pickup that gives thompson four out of four it's an infield hit [Music] [Applause] [Applause] here's a great hitter and a great ball player but he's strictly a singles hitter swings and he misses and if you check his record not much of an rbi man of course he always hit around first or second but he's on base for other guys to drive in and he never was a good defensive second baseman he got moved over to first he was better here's the pendulum low on outside a ball and a strike bottom of the eighth 12-4 white sox [Music] dennis lam's pitch wide his last time up he did bumgarden a favor with the bases loaded he swung at three straight pitches that were out of the strike zone and struck out two balls in the strike now the pitch swung out a bouncing ball to square to second for one returner notes return throw the first merely a force out from squires to allman [Applause] [Music] i don't know why alma didn't throw on unless the pitcher didn't get over there or something maybe a hobson got in his way can we see that play again [Music] i haven't seen a replay for an hour [Music] dick don't pay attention here it is there you are now good play by squires he has to go off the bag he throws quickly right here i don't know why he stepped on the bag funny there was nothing or there must be somebody covering first because he got the ball in plenty of time there's burlson he's over four you don't want to step in the middle of that bag you want to drag your foot across that bang there's a breaking ball for a strike call burlson in the hole now boy when you get karoo for four you've had a pretty good night [Music] a little bit inside he's only one for four last night but when you hold him to one out of eight pearls in his last time up with a two oak count the bases loaded got hit right in the fist and broke his bat in half his little puff flight is short low outside good saving there by sm jim essien behind the plate prior now at second wayne northagen in left rusty coons in center baynes still in right brown ball to sharp out of second bad throw to first by pryor could have had a double play allman had a little trouble getting the ball out of his ground the ball was really hit hard omen the last few nights has been a little unsure on some plays watch this ball now he doesn't get rid of it right away he gets up in the weapon of his glove now pryor doesn't come across the bag if he comes across the bag he might add some more on it but he stayed right behind the bag and you're not going to throw anybody out that way briar doesn't can't make the double play well he's also a little afraid of that runner come on around [Applause] there's a smash a base hit by danny ford forward lines a single to right that's his second hit of the ball game he also had two last night boy hurry this ball game is all tied up we each got 13 hits apiece [Music] well we got a wire here the guy says from washington iowa he says enjoying the game check your scorecard we scored five in the fifth oh uh we scored four in the fifth and five and the seventh you wasted your telegram now so i'd suggest you correct your scorecard yeah got a lot of nerve questioning my boss [Music] freddie lynn up there a ball on the strike what what town is that harry washington iowa is it colder no [Music] midwest america there's a pitch low ball two two balls and a strike [Music] tough play hey makes it beautifully allman went to his right came up with a tough chance fired to second for the fourth play and it is no runs two hits no errors two left at the end of eight the white sox 12 california four ball cap if you come to the ballpark sunday june the 21st you'll get one free and anybody who comes to the ballpark on that date whether you be young or whether you'll be old doesn't make any difference boy or girl man or

allman he's two out of three with three runs batted in boy he's got 16 ribbies jimmy and good big ones too in real good spots he hasn't just picked him up on a scorer's way out in front he's got the game-winning hits so far tonight here's the pitch foul back it was his base hitting the fourth they gave the white sox brought him from but being behind two to one to going ahead three to two then they added four in the fifth and five and the seventh each team with 13 hits but the white sox have scored 12 rounds line drive and a left center field another hit allman singles in left center he's three out of four [Music] boy harry he's got 45 hits jimmy he's got a short stop he's driven in 16 runs he's got 45 hits he's hitting over 330 do you score 22 times [Music] yeah how to renegotiate his contra how about the double play combination with seven hits tonight not too bad there's rusty coons and i would say they're the lowest paid double play combination in baseball not for long though jimmy leflore while he was in there drove in a run scored two and stole a base rusty coons takes a strike call though this kid could just hit a little bit he's hitting 258 no homers no rbis good man to have a round [Music] now the pitch strike on the outside corner the best thing about it he can play any field and play it well some guys can only play one field he's the best defensive opportunity we got on the club but baines is getting better and getting close too the pitch swings and a bouncing power there's a case where the aquisto hun the breaking ball hints over the inside part of the plate but rusty just couldn't get it until i see rusty play 40 games in a row i can't say too much about his hitting because coming off that bench i know it's awful tough there's a pitch there's a base head a shot in the left field cruises on there and almond [Music] [Applause] [Music] i don't know why they're booing the ushers the ushers look better to me than their ball club well i think they're taking the young man off who've got the ball off the field they're squires runners of first and second [Music] mike is one for three believe it or not he's got a sacrifice and a walk in one hit now the pitch swings a bouncing ball over the fish's head he may beat it out of he down cannot come up with it a base hit and the bases are loaded with nobody out now the white sox already leading 12 to four here you see now at the hopper over the pitcher's head he started in and never could get back now watch pawtuck try to come up with it he can't get it sc now is going to hit and on deck bobby molinero is going to pitch for friendship for lazinski essien hitting 222 and no homer's two rbis comes up with the bases loaded when fisk was out of action essien did a magnificent job behind the plate for the white side he's part of the one of the best catching staffs in baseball here's a curveball high with fists the number one and nc in number two and mark hill the number three doesn't disgrace you either three hits in this inning in the exhibition game the other night etsy and hit a home run edmonton now the pitch high ball two two balls no strikes bases loaded nobody out white sox with 16 hits jim fragos has got to feel the pits tonight strong and he fouled it off i think the errors harry making three errors last night and three more errors tonight that's really gonna bother mace has loaded nobody out [Applause] he's got so many former major league managers all around him too [Music] there's the looking of the white sox doug eyed follow it back two blocks two strikes

third base the pitch long drive right one run in two runs are in here's another man around third racing by the plate three more red score azercia unloads the bases with a three-run double you know why he got that hit he was swinging good at every pitch he had not fooled him at all even all those pitches he fouled off here you see it now he goes right into the gap in right center and watch when it hits it just carries right to the wall and everybody scores and essien goes into second as koote scores jim fragosi comes out it's now 15-4 in favor of the white's up boy for ghost he's such a wonderful guy you hate to see anybody have to endure an evening like this it's kind of that's baseball the last two nights of vodka can get a manager fire and i guess it's going to be sanchez 46 270 pounds this young man came in last night and had a trick play up his mind he's with a ball on the pick-off play with nobody covered but i was told that burleson put that play on and then changed his mind but they say you should turn around and if you don't see the guy breaking don't throw it but he threw it anyways and that cost a couple of runs also a couple of errors on the play he's from venezuela all right here he comes sanchez will take his practice on he's all in two making his 13th appearance with an era of 3.38 he's got two saves this ball club only has eight saves total he's pitched 24 innings last year he's at veracruz with a good record of 14-9 and era of 2.03 he then went to salt lake city so he threw pretty hard the stuff i saw him news last night was nothing but hard stuff and hard sliders got a long pair of arms coach and he comes in right now with the white sox doing nothing but hitting the ball over the place fifteen to four's the score the white sox was 17 hits [Music] bobby molinero who's the bull drove in two runs he had one out of three you know you haven't heard much from molinero of late but believe me the first 20 something games he did a lot to help us based on balls monomero hitting 375 no homers and four rbis and has two game-winning hits and when they say what do you mean by based on balls he started innings off that we needed to get somebody on base bobby molinero getting a turn at that runner at second nobody out the pitch popped it up on the first pitch here's hobson under the ball makes the catch so molinero fouls out here's vaynes baines doubled in two runs in that big fifth inning [Applause] he's one out of five so far tonight 15-4 the white sox way out in front the curveball little bit high well everybody got a hit but morrison he's the only one in the starting lineup who didn't hit curveball into the dirt you look up in the board and there's 30 hits and you don't have one that really hurts brian downing still behind the plate two balls no strikes veins with one out of five the big hitters the keystone combination bernazzar four out of five and allman three out of four we ought to go right into the game tomorrow right after this one there's a big swivel lined in the center field lynn makes a sensational diving gap [Music] what a magnificent play he's hobbling around but what a pro and what a thoroughbred he is this ball is really hit hard like baines has been hitting this whole trip and it's hooking away now watch he reaches as far as he can go but he catches the ball before he falls and he gets up in a hurry looks like he hurt himself but he's all right [Music] [Applause] hitting for the first time he's batting 319 for the year there's the pitcher breaking ball low and outside ball
