Dwight Gooden No Hitter

inning number eight and the leadoff man is Joey Cora curveball taking first rank pora Davis and Bragg the scheduled hitters here in the 8th looked at it [Music] yeah more loans special night in the Bronx for doc Gooden fourth game in a row he just continues to get better Donna Hertz and Mel stottlemyre probably pitch but you know what at this time they don't care what that got is that could shot coming out of this game right now good and now we'll have to face a new batter as the Mariners set up a pitch hitter his line of court dope streams is it good with a false start there will pull the rubber again strange is batting for Russell Davis and he takes a curveball just like work [Music] Joe Girardi's behind the plate Newton is an excellent command of his fastball all night the curveball has gotten better as the game has progressed on that pitch see it's felt I may be the camera angles wrong but it sure looked like it had part of the corner here's a bouncing ball [Music] has gotten more to mention a command on a fastball in the early innings of the road erratic but the curveball has gotten better and now he's even getting more ground eyes Nerra brag did a short Braille bowl of first as he takes a concourse [Music] pitching here Tours [Applause] that's our only complaint to the bullpen said sit down boy stocks guy [Applause] two strikes [Music] to go he's a terrific six [Music] he did hold up in time do it again sometimes disappointing crowds here at the stadium what [Music] three and two here in the bottom of the eighth-inning has to be [Music] [Music] [Applause] boxing is about to unfold at Yankee Stadium the Yankees to the Mariners nothing Dwight Gooden after his eighth inning of work into the Yankee dugout will high-five from Andy Pettitte the few words Ruben Sierra swinging and missing a Tim Davis his first pitch and as you would expect everybody in that dugout see Andy pettite probably been giving him high-fives the last four or five innings are going to keep doing the same thing in that dugout Sarah this is again we've been trying to figure out what's going on here as in cases Tim Davis for three against it prior to this at-bat I to the count no balls two strikes out of the strike zone and he gives right but ken griffey says I'll take it he does Oh Darrin brag one away in the bottom of the eighth-inning Tino Martinez at a sacrifice fly last time up he drove in the first run of the game there's Edwin Hurtado warming up in the Seattle bullpen a little bit low from Tim Davis and not just because of what we've seen from back good tonight the special performance would be a big win in an unusual win for the Yankees they have only one one other game this year a low-scoring affair like this where they score less than three runs that's a fair ball sureto does it by himself to retire Tino Martinez and return the favor Blandings ago in martinez-villareal wallet activation it away Sorrento so two outs in the bottom of the 8th Pinella playing every percentage he can it's going to go righty to righty enhances the case Dave when you see something unusual doesn't happen very often unfolding in baseball not good is going to have to face the heart got the Mariner lineup in the top of the ninth inning Alex Rodriguez Kent Griffey junior at Edgar Martinez are the three hitters threw up you mentioned that low-scoring game that was the game the Yankees beat the White Sox to nothing good pitch to that game that it was Rivera had a wetland to finish it up Yankees leading Seattle 2 to nothing don't you dear leave us maybe you've never been in an accident but I bet your car's gone over the 8th inning 2 min away and the Seattle Mariners Abeyta pitching change bringing on the Venezuelan it would hurt ATO 63 215 pounds that may be another statement they picked him up with the Blue Jays for our throwing right-hander Bill Ridgely and you could see that Edwin are fairly hard for with almost two strikeout an inning but a lot of hits for any and a lot of walks Lou Piniella right here just playing the percentage righty versus writing Seattle also got pulled bid hard in that trade with the Blue Jays they gave up Risley and Miguel Cairo and Jim Leyritz broke out of his slump nicely tonight with a pair of singles as a run batted in average again creeping toward 300 against Edwin Hurtado slider strike one the Yankees to and Seattle nothing [Music] walk through it nothing to to focus on doc Goodman's pitching without that spectacular catch by Gerald Williams he had the first inning this could be quite a different ballgame sidearm and that pitch is a little bit low where it's the Yankee d.h tonight Ruben Sierra in left field and a swinging a minister in the eighth inning the Mariners have played he's heading out for the ninth-inning you might want to call some of your friends and let him know what's going on here at Yankee Stadium on NXT [Music] [Applause] eighth inning strike Gooden in search of his second Yankee win and he wants a new baseball to begin tonight just a hundred nine pitches through the first eight it is those four walks were in the first three innings with Doc still was searching for command of his fastball Alex Rodriguez the twenty-year-old shortstop we started out each hitter last inning with a cold strike in a curveball for strike warrant Regas his reach once on a walk back in the third [Applause] and his first outing as a Yankee at Texas gave up to hormones is not allowed a home run six this ball is fouled out of play ball two strike count the crowd seems much larger [Music] [Applause] [Music] tonight [Applause] all either now at - or - Mel stottlemyre was all smiles on the bench ken griffey jr. is odd there [Applause] this is the first batter Alex Rodriguez good goes to another full count there's going to be a lot of Yankee players running to the bathroom as soon as this game's over because as you know there's Joe Torre and the rest of them they haven't moved since about the three hitting you don't change positions so that's four four well the dilemma that Joe Torre hands right now the pitch count at a hundred and thirteen this is the most pitches doc has thrown at a big-league game of well over a year and a half they're not about to take him out but yet with a two nothing score there's also tough decisions to be made by Joe Torre and preserving the win and back to the fold goes the Yankee pitcher coach Mel stottlemyre Booton blowing on his hand as he has done all night the next two hitters could be the toughest two in baseball back to that ball one to ken griffey jr. nobody is seated in this ballpark the outside [Music] breaking late and over the outside corner this ball is hit slowly he by Martinez to the penguin guy [Applause] quick decision by Tito Martinez was not going to be there in time for him to make the toss so he makes the headlong dive and just gets the first base ahead of his former teammate still seated tonight a runner at second base Edgar Martinez the American League batting champ at the plate [Applause] Gerardi blocks it Rodrigues and what's the second of a crown down a lot of times in games like this you have the luxury in this game no call from Dan Morrison behind the plate of that breaking pitch [Music] his room white goodbye the male with a two ball no strike count to a party days [Applause] right warning everything - pretty good Testament - doctrines fastball of the ninth inning to get Edgar Martinez to start to chase it couldn't hold up that had some late life on it he is such a tough hitter Edgar Martinez to [Applause] trying to get the same spot and now he goes full to Edgar Martinez first base is open but you can't tell the difference when these two teams meet whether it's October or made good news ready he went to the hook and that's ball for two walks now in the night today [Music] just moving his 125th of the game [Music] no trips to the mound [Music] suddenly the focus again goes on winning the ballgame instead of what might be in store for Doc a personal standpoint [Applause] and gets away from Girardi and two runners now we'll move on Regan's took her Martina's down the second base today two nothing game now Stoudemire looks like he wants to get off the bed this is not good I wouldn't want to be Mel stottlemyre right now make this walk but here he comes one of the all-time Yankee great pitchers the Yankee pitching coach going to the mouth in late night and he's going to say now be honest with me how do you feel and you know if not good then any pitcher that's competitive is going to say I feel fine he wants to stay in his game the only time I could remember a pitcher being taken out of the game like this was I believe the first year the Padres were in existence clay Kirby he's taken off by Preston Gomez in the ninth inning [Music] because of the old scoring game [Music] quickly to the Yankee dugout in the meantime has made a change he sent rich Amer all out to one at second base for Edgar Martinez the Sorento the lefties several off the second the pitch to butor [Music] [Applause] as falls at this point part arm strength and part adrenaline he's two and [Applause] count goes to 2 and wanted Jay Buhner Hooten his walk to here in the ninth six of the game a good-sized lead off second [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] Division Series games [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] last time [Music] [Applause] [Music]
