MLB | Skilled Catcher

[Applause] [Music] welcome back to the lineup doesn't get much better than that i wonder a lot of times if the catcher is able to pick up those short pop-ups having to remove is greg byrd looking for his first hit and looking for his first extra base hit of the spring trying to check his swing but he goes around and his strike the throw to first is in time to pick off the here's another look he's looking at the pitcher and the throw is coming from the catcher congratulations to billy bean and his staff for pulling off the deal and norris caught it how about that not your average the hitter you know when you get a little piece you know you probably got a little more life left but derek norris just a tremendous athlete get in there got him on the strikeout and the runner is ow the solano holds this play from jonathan salado hustling all the way did he get him was it the right call i think the nets caught a huge huge break pitching the dirt corpron with a shot here and the tag applied wow playing a nice alert play by carlos that's a little unique right the other two runners do advance but if he breaks immediately he's probably safe but he didn't and he's out and that's a huge play steven vogt with sonny gray talk about an athlete he had a right to be mad there and that one off boat runners coming home throw to the plate tag and they got him and the payoff pitch swing and a miss strike three breaking for the plate is davis to throw archer tags him out two down back toward third and then when he finally decided to go conger kind of a little looping flip to chris archer schweihart at third bradley at second and craig at first there are two outs in the eighth and potanzas will deal 0-2 oh great save by murphy he knifed it clean he didn't knock it down he picked it and botanza steals same play the blue jays are his sixth big league team knocked down by joseph pilar trying to advance the throw he's out at third base quick tag by manny machado to get kevin pilar really nice well we thought it would be appropriate as darneau makes a diving grab beautiful play [Applause] that's a uh that's a cover shot perez throws down and it's in time to get him if the ball's anywhere up but up aj i don't know that he gets him you're going to talk about some feet watch salvador frezza's feet on right hand and hitting correa there goes al dube the [Music] look how quickly he got rid of that ball and it was a perfect thread span swings and fouled it back you see what joe mower just did watch this so the bricks here at nats park joe catch this without looking then put the glove out and just this way i got it and buster's got it he's going to go to third and they got him and that's the ball game wow it popped up posing cb and that's going to be the ball game and the giants he's framing it in cricket that's a strike look at pence we started at the end where the beatles and elvis presley are the only stars there what a catch penguin makes the catch of this and they will flip it on to first in the end that must have been a run and bunt which is a really unusual play what happens when you pop up you're gonna run into a double finger in this situation fastball inside a throw in to first base and they got him you're really pumping in there and see he's already throwing already he's ready to go that was a planned play they saw ramirez with getting too big a lead at first bay the 3-0 pitch way outside and another good stop by santana that saved him almost took santana's arm out of socket he had to die for that ball that oh most of the screen in fact heads just didn't know he had the ball that was up in the webbing of his glove he thought that one was on its way to the screen of place behind home plate remember the other night when he picked that one and it looked so awkward and the o2 oh what a block by sanchez just saved the lead one and two parker splitter and he overthrows it it's in the other batters box sanchez blocks it with his bare arm and then they with that heat one ball two strikes for feliz very high nice job again by corporate this time climbing the ladder to grab that pitch climbing the ladder and trying to go inside check swing that breaking ball gets away joseph the second base the tag and loney is out so trying to advance on a ball oh huge play here from caleb joseph ball kicks away he can sense the runner way back and nobody's going to advance and now they've got a chance of third and out at third did i say defense they're playing bumper pool to get ouch now at camara six runs and ten hits in that start and that goes past tarnow to the backstop now the runner gets hot oh that's it they run between second and third and in circle between first and second and now they get tehran going to third and that's the last out of the inning a huge break doesn't have much speed anyway and that's in the dirt backhanded but too late barnes throws to the plate and they got the runner blanco and an accurate throw and there was frias alertly covering pitchers don't usually get many put out throw that's a bit of an eye-opener for everybody in that astros dugout takes off for third and he's out replay here as aj hinch wants another look [Applause] well if the tag was applied he's out he's gonna put him on [Applause] ice rules at the plate that the fans here are aware of what they're seeing well what happened the other night in washington nationals they will get an out of this play the fans are reacting here to the replay [Music] so [Music] you
