just about set to go and on the hill Lucas Sims just a three pitch mix in his Arsenal which you know it's not a lot for a starter so always very important for him to have a good feel and command all three sometimes you can make that three look like four if you add or subtract a little bit of velocity on one but you know one thing about it it can be easy to get too predictable out there on the mound so ERS are aware of that mixing those three pitches in all counts is going to be a big key for him in this one Alec Thomas leading things off and takes a strike the 01 just off the Inside Edge that misses two balls in a strike two ball one [Applause] strike righty to the plate slider misses outside and the pitch chopped to the right side whips it to first on the run out on a bang bang play but he made it close time to take a look at the Diamondbacks lineup [Music] next up for the Diamondbacks Heraldo Pomo and that's in there for strike one [Applause] one down base is empty Stevenson under it puts it away for the out third the right this is Corbin Carroll we talk about guys with good speed and definitely he has it but pushing the offense aside for just a second Chris it's the defensive side that I think the speed factors in the most and the first pitch misses for ball one well he gets the balls that get by most people at that position just really impressive because there's certain times the ball comes off the bat automatically that team that hit it thinks that they've got a base hit or they may have extra bases and he just takes it [Applause] away two down nobody on yeah that's a little high and what makes him even quicker is the fact that he's so F in on the pitch as it's moving through the Hitting Zone he can see how that hitter is lined up what he's trying to do and where that pitch is going to end up which gives him that really quick first step and that's why he makes so many great plays Clips the outside corner two and [Applause] two hard hit right side fires over to first and that's the third out nothing across here this half and now the Reds will get their first opportunity no [Music] score welcome back pitching in our game today Jordan Montgomery what do you have on him Chris well that 12 to six curveball explodes out of the hand because he's able to throw the high fast at the top of the strike zone for strike hits commit to that pitch and before they know it they're swinging over the top of that Cur in now for the Reds TJ frel swing and a ground ball out to short what a stop throw to first low throw and he can't take it out the effort from both players involved in this play just really stands out to me I mean you got the diving stop at Short which was outstanding and how can you not love the hustle flying down the line that's just great baseball at an extremely high level Noel V the next to hit for the Reds now snap throw to first and he's back in on a dive sizzling on its way to the Outfield throw holds him at second but the goahead run now in scoring position and still nobody out there's nothing cheap about the way he got that one through the infield that was RI cut out in front and didn't get under it like he would have liked but definitely put a good swing on first and second no outs Matt mlan the next to hit for the Reds check swing appeal to First no he held [Applause] up that one is absolutely belted and out of here that's got to feel good and just like that they're out front it's three nothing [Applause] [Applause] well he put a really nice swing on that one and everything was on time took a direct pass to the ball excellent extension and just drove it out of here nothing better than when the ball jumps off your bat like that now at the plate Christian and carosio there's a strike can be tough to bounce back after a big home run but nobody on nobody out you just have to treat it as a fresh inning check swing no appeal who won [Applause] [Applause] line dve to short and caught here's David Bell's lineup for the Cincinnati Reds they're dealing with a scker specialist on the mound which can be a big time challenge when he's right and working mostly from the knees down well I think the approach you take is really try to lay off of those pitches down in the zone and until he gets some called strikes and then forces you to go after that pitch until then make him elevated because guys that throw those sinkers those two seamers really hard for them to be effective up in the zone those are pitches you can hammer and when you get a cookie you don't want to miss it swings and misses strike one good late sink on that fast ball out of the hand looks so good and then by the time he gets in The Hitting Zone hard to get the barrel to it well he missed a hitable off speed pitch right there not sure exactly with the timing sometimes you get a backup breaking ball you're expecting it to make its move at the end it never does and you're tied up goes down swinging for the strike out couldn't hit the fast ball at the knees well that's always the key to effective pitching is getting ahead in the count and as a pitcher it really allows you to start expanding The Zone guys become defensive and all of a sudden for the that plate starts to get really wide and what happens is because of the pressure you end up committing to a pitch as a batter before you recognize what it is and that's what leads to the strikeout now here is Tyler Stevenson just missed one ball no strike that misses the zone two balls no [Applause] [Music] strikes there's a swing and a drive that's back there G that one felt good and they tack one on the board it's four nothing knew what pitch he wanted to hit spit on some other pitches in this hit bad was very patient and it paid off toy lell is out of the Dugout and he's going to make a move here Jordan montgom departs and this is one he'd like to forget back with a new arm after [Music] this now on the mound for the Diamondbacks Dre Jameson he's into the game with the Bas is empty number 9 Dre J now batting jamer candelario that one's in there o and one and the right-hander deals that's a [Applause] strike next pitch is inside and the count is one and two Bo he never moved cuz he never had time to with that kind of velocity you'd prefer that pitcher work away that one off the mark two balls two strikes two outs struck him out looking but the long ball was working in this inning not once but twice it's now a four nothing ball game back after this on the show and welcome back second inning set to go now here's the cleanup hitter for Arizona Christian Walker the Dbacks in Striking Distance but have some work to do boo it starts with the leadoff man need a good and bad out of him right here and the pitch that one misses ball one he's already pitching with a four nothing lead so we should see him be aggressive fill up the strike zone don't issue free passes the one fouled off he was late the pitch and a count one and two righty delivers the punch out there one gone here well that slider down in a way it's just kind of a slow dep with two strikes you're looking to protect and halfway to the plate you know you've committed and you know you're going to have no chance of touching it tell you what sometimes you just have to tip your cap an outstanding hitter in catel Marte and the one0 and that one is lifted in the air no trouble here puts it away for the out two down the here's Jack Peterson and first offer ring is fouled off left hand batter weights and fouled off [Applause] at the belt and fires this one popped up long run tracks it down and that'll do it so one two three go to Diamondbacks they're on the short end of a 4 nothing [Music] score back here at the Ballpark we head to the bottom of the second and ready to hit now for Cincinnati Ellie de Cruz sing you talk about a guy that has all the skills the range is really good but the arm just stands out and he makes all the plays first pitch just misses and because of that big Power arm he's able to play a little bit deeper make throws from The Outfield grass all the way across the diamond and still get a pretty good runner that's impressive the pitch swing and a high Fly ball pretty well struck right field that's back there and that one's gone he flexes his power with that swing and they add to the lead it's five [Applause] Z looks like this guy was looking out over the plate but he was ready to turn on the inside fast ball so direct to the pitch absolutely blasted out of this ball par will Benson the next to hit for the Reds Cho to Third and he picks it up and he'll put it in his pocket [Music] next pitch is outside Woody Keller making the calls behind home for us today and boo something to keep an eye on is how pitchers utilize the top part of the strike zone we see a lot more of that in today's game with guys going up there with hard stuff Keller definitely an Umpire that isn't afraid to call strikes up in that part of the strike [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] zone got him looking for the called strike three and a fast ball up in the zone TJ frel the next to hit for the Reds reached on an infield single this first [Applause] time and a foul ball the 01 Fly ball center field Thomas sizing it up and there's two down now two out Bas is empty Noel V Marte the next to hit for the Reds one for one with a single and a run scored so far first offing and it just misses just missed two on the line base [Applause] hit and stepping in is the Speedy Matt mlan he's already homered in this [Music] one now move to First and he just got his hand in there swinging a Miss it's 0 and one well if he's going to steal second you want him to go early in the count that way he's not a distraction to the hitter at the plate go ahead and get it out of the way so the hitter can focus on the pitch they take the force out and that is the inning the Reds rolling after this solo shot and the lead is now 5 nothing you're watching Major League Baseball on the show righty reliever out of the Ino and you know Bullpen guys can struggle sometimes when they're called upon with big leads because it just doesn't have the same intensity is a tight game so we'll see how sharp he is your mental toughness matters in situations like this as well and it's lordis gel Jr well as a hitter you don't want to be part of a team that was no hit I mean it's embarrassing man so this guy right here he's looking to do anything he can in this lead off at bat to make it tough guel gets a piece Cho goes 6' 3 in he features a four seam fast ball a cutter a slider and he works in a change up next offering is in for a strike meanwhile activity in the bullpen Brent Suter loosening up for Manager David Bell mole getting cranked up as [Applause] well got him looking for the k a yio Suarez up to hit down swinging a foul straight back the wi in the pitch swing in a miss two now wow no fair right there I mean that slider didn't move till the very last moment incredibly difficult to pick that up just kind of have to tip your cap on that pitch and the righty deals and that's outside it's a good take the one two on the ground to Third and he grabs it in foul ground hard hit left side whips it across now only one out remaining the catch number Gabriel and here's the catcher Gabrielle Moreno [Applause] pitch misses inside and it's one and0 [Applause] one and there's the strike now just to submit makes her slider right there it's a great pitch to hit if you can recognize it early and jump on it popped up foul territory behind the plate and he makes the catch ball game and the Reds use two pitchers to combined for the shut out whether you're a season ticket holder or you just come to a couple of games a year to see your team win at home there's just something special about that good job by these guys to get it done for the hometown fans five nothing the final in this one for Chris
