Padres at Braves 9/29/85

the padres are 79 and 75 on the year and there are 12 games out of first the padres though did overtake houston in the battle for fourth place if that's an important battle which i doubt houston now a game behind san diego the braves defensively have rungey at third zuvella at short hubbard at second and horner at first in the outfield from left to right terry harper dale murphy and brad kamensk and rick cerome behind the plate on the open feed alluded to the fact that there's an outside chance that rick mailer could win 20. he pitched his heart out in cincinnati the other night he came back after missing three weeks and for maylor that would be six or seven or even eight starts pissed his heart out but a gimme run milt thompson fell down chasing a pop fly to left field gave the reds a run it went to extra innings the braves won the game however mailer did not get credit for the victory if mailer wins today and wins in his next start let's say thursday which would be in los angeles then he might start on two days rest on sunday in san francisco to try to get the 20th win but the first thing is he has to win the 18th ball game and as this game goes on we'll give you all the football scores and all the baseball scores especially the ones concerning the divisional pennant races and every division has a pretty good pennant race going on it's a beautiful afternoon in atlanta we're very happy you tuned us in jerry royster leads off against rick mailer and leading off the broadcast just back from his big purdue notre dame football game is pete van wyk thank you john reister's had a good year 287 five homers 30 rbis takes the first pitch low ball one and tim flannery have shared the second base position royster playing at shortstop today temple and not in there after being hit by that grounder last night one and one account [Music] final home game of 1985 braves head for houston right after this one it's now two in one on reuster cardinals playing in montreal this afternoon that game is now in the third inning montreal leading at one nothing hubbard should handle this one and there's one down bets are playing in pittsburgh no score after two in their game magic number for st louis is four in fact magic numbers four all over the place every place except that american leg west yankees playing a double header today against baltimore in the first game they are now in the bottom half of the fourth inning new york leading at one nothing [Music] california's picked up a rundown on the top of the second they trail cleveland 2-1 indians i should say the angel's still batting in the top of the second here's tony gwynn taking his strike he's having another good year 314 five homers 41 rbis 1-1 to count kansas city plays at minnesota that game not yet underway toronto plays at milwaukee that game not yet underway two and one the count now on gwen did you see how the angels lost their ball game yesterday it just seems to happen to a gene mock team doesn't it that's amazing they had a five-nothing lead going to the bottom of the eighth the angels scored five the indian scored five runs three on a home run by andre thornton went to the bottom of the ninth and jerry willard two runways and the angels lost he's had two or three games lost just like that in the last couple of weeks here's the 2-2 now to gwen the breaking ball missed outside three and two beautiful day here in atlanta a little bit of a breeze blowing out toward left center field still a full count three and two [Music] mailer two and one this year four and four lifetime against san diego [Applause] it remains three and two on tony guid steve garvey on deck [Applause] [Music] [Music] and the payoff pitch is ripped to deep center field murphy going back he's there [Music] i saw some of your game yesterday the purdue note your name game and uh he had a heck of a ball game and almost predicted that purdue comes up with great efforts against noah today and they've been doing it for 20 or 30 years they really do and jim everett i'll tell you for a college quarterback i know there were a lot of pro scouts there watching that game yesterday and they were drooling when they left what a good looking young player he is yeah he looks terrific he's like the perfect pro quarterback here's steve garvey taking a strike nothing in one garvey 273 with 17 homers 76 rbis [Music] [Applause] and the o2 pitch slow curve strikes out garvey one two three for the padres in the top half of the first we have played a half inning at san diego nothing atlanta coming up the bottom half of the first inning there's a look at the padres defensively pretty much their regular unit out there today with the exception of jerry royster at short in place of gary templeton and on the bond for the padres left-hander mark thurman is at a disappointing year a record of six and eleven four point two six earned run average appearance number thirty five start number twenty two [Music] oh and one this year 3-3 lifetime against atlanta paul zavela leaves it off of the braves glenn hubbard will follow then dale murphy's developing 228 he has no homers and three runs driven in nice first pitch on the way from thurman taking high away ball one thurman last year was a 14-game winner with only eight losses and an era of under three 2.97 that's a fair ball down the left-field line savella should get two and he's on at second with a lead-off double right down the line for his sixth double of the year and even though there's a left-hand pitcher they were not playing zuvella to pull greg nettles was off the third base line for a right-hand hitter probably just a bouncing ball right down the third baseline that bounds way over nettle's head and zoo gets a double that's that area pete where we've seen a lot of high bouncing balls past couple weeks here's hubbard batting 231 with five homers and 39 rbis braves tried for an early run the four at first garvey did he get him i think he did he missed him and the runners are safe in first and third so give hubbard a bun single and that was clear to the naked eye garvey just didn't get him [Applause] hubby dipped the shoulder down to help out and the braves have two on no one out here's murph coming off a big night last night when he had a few basics and four rbis now hitting 298 for the year 37 homer's 108 rbis he would like to finish at the 300 level has a good shot at it needs to raise the average two points over the final week [Applause] takes high ball one [Applause] we're finishing strong this year we'll finish with mvp type numbers but because of where the braves are in the standings it would be a real long shot for murph to win the mvp he'll get a lot of votes maybe finish third fourth somewhere in there this will be our noah won't be yes it will be they get the force play at second looked like a double play ball that would take away the rbi from dale murphy as they were going to let the runs score anyway but then when royster bobbled it he had to settle for the 6-4 force play so instead murphy does get an rbi his 109th boy and for us that's the key we want murph to get rbis jerry just didn't come up with it and could only get the four so the braves got a one-nothing lead and for dale is 109th rbi now bob horner batting 275 27 homers 88 rbis thurman going to first we'll duck in some football scores big upset in the making in kansas city where the chiefs lead seattle in the second period 14-0 off his fists in foul territory and up into the seats all in one the washington redskins who are thought to be one of the best teams in pro football are getting beaten up every week as someone on the redskins said recently maybe we're not as good as we're supposed to be and today in the second period chicago leads washington 28-10 little aids may be catching up with that club in washington d.c they got they have just been gaga over the redskins the past few years i wonder if that relationship will continue if they lose i remember doing a basketball game there was there for a weekend it was a big weekend every had his own television show everyone on the team had some kind of a show one ball one strike on horner murphy at first with one on one run in buffalo is losing there in the second period minnesota beating buffalo 22-3 buffalo having a rough go the past couple years now the 1-1 to horner deep to left field martinez goes back to the warning track and makes a nice catch and drops the ball heading for third is murphy the runners will be at second and third that ball was hit so hard it's kind of hard to believe this you'll sometimes see a guy hit an infield line drive that will handcuff an infielder but that ball of the outfield was hit so hard and had the outfielder all tied up and it also kind of had a little hook to it as merv or rather bob warner hit this line drive to left field martinez now has to come back for the ball a little ice cream cone that falls out of his mitt he is not the most graceful fielder that's the guy that was involved with eric show and chow thought he should have caught a ball that he did not so it's charged an error to carmelo martinez runners at second and third [Music] one run in only one manhattan terry harper will be the battery's hitting 258 with 17 homers and 70 runs driven in they're at halftime down kansas city chiefs leading seattle 21-0 and in the second period st louis leads green bay 16 nothing giants philadelphia scoreless in the first period here's the pitch to harper missing low and inside ball one i'd say purdue came out with something i've never seen yesterday all black uniforms a little different [Music] here's the one one-nothing pitch up high 2-0 they still have the golden girl there oh yes oh yeah yeah [Music] the football enjoyment i've always said [Music] corner at second murphy at third one out one run in and the 2-0 pitch high and inside 3-0 thurman's had a lot of games like this this year where he's gotten in trouble right off the bat minnesota's picked up a run and the bottom half of the first inning they're still batting leading kansas city one-nothing now we'll get the intentional walk to terry harper and they're loaded for rick cerrone someone could be sarcastic and say i wonder if kansas city and california will ever win another game but someone will because they meet soon for three games in kansas city gotta wonder a little bit about california's chances they're all through with their home season every game they have left is on the road and it's tough to win on the road although i think at this stage of the season if you're in the race doesn't really make much difference where are you playing right [Applause] cerrone batting 219 three home runs 24 runs driven in infield will play double play depth with one out and it's ball one to rick cerrone rick's catching counterpart bruce benedict today signed a new three-year contract with atlanta here's the 1-0 pitch rolled toward short royster to flattery onto garvey to end the inning so the braves threatened to put together a big inning in the first they have to settle for that one run and at the end of one braves lead it one [Music] nothing got a whistle in here toyota will help you load up for less chrome front bumper split bench seat am fm stereo combo buy any of these 1985 toyota trucks and you can load up with over a thousand dollars worth of added features for only 3.99 so load up and save 659 look for this sticker that's worth whistling about [Music] when do you say you know i use a ten bar and i observed that sometimes when you're having a good old time it's possible to get a little carried away that's why i like l.a man is bush l.a tastes great and has just half the alcohol and sometimes that's a darn good idea like my daddy used to say the real trick to carrying on he's not getting carried away that's beautiful l.a sometimes it's the perfect thing to say [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] uh get pumped for america's game the nba exclusively on super station wtbs starting october 21st [Music] in the second inning greg nettles terry kennedy and carmelo martinez do up ray's leading at one nothing final meeting of the year of course between these two teams braves have two games left in houston two left in los angeles and three left in san francisco after today i know you're matching it because elaine's away at a wedding any any problems uh my thanks to my son no my son knows how to push the right buttons on washing machines and dryers and things like that so we'll give all the credit to steve because i can't boil water i uh i pulled one of my alzheimer's today which we'll get into is nettles as a bat craig nettles batting 256 15 homers and 56 rbis he'll be back with a padres next year one ball no strikes i decided to have a bun with my coffee this morning not unreasonable and i was warming it up in the broiler and the phone rang [Laughter] i think i could already sense the outcome of this tale it was terrible it was much worse than it's gonna sound and i came back a long time later well i mean well one of those sterling brain locks that happened every night doing one account you know if you burn it enough not only is the kitchen and that area filled with smoke but the soot these newfangled stoves they blow the soot out and they clean all over wow what a mess and then i'm packing and trying to shave and get down here we're leaving i just thought i'd throw that in misery loves company been that kind of year hasn't it two and two of the cap [Music] full count three and two be like that guy in uh texas a few years ago they read a story about you shouldn't put golf balls in a cool place you should keep them in a warm place because they'll travel further he decided to put his in the microwave oven almost burned his house down they exploded here's the 3-2 pitch right back to the pitcher rick manor will take care of this one and four in a row have been retired now by mailer california and cleveland now tied up 2-2 angels still batting in the third here it's one nothing atlanta terry kennedy the batter 262 with 10 homers and 73 rbis line toward left terry harper thought about it oh almost got hit by that one kennedy will wind up at second i don't think he'll go any further than that as harper gets it back harper was thinking about making a shoestring attempt then changed his mind but he almost changed his mind too late that ball almost landed right on him you see terry pulls up short then the ball hits he falls down the ball just misses his face and if you're wondering how kennedy can only get a double out of that ease not too swift on the base pass but he hit it hard 27th double for terry kennedy first hit off rick mailer this afternoon carmelo martinez now the batter martinez at 254 he has 19 homers 65 runs driven in time called as martinez steps out and baylor's pitch on the way to martinez toward short range cuts in front of savella and throws out carmelo martinez two down holding a secondary kennedy well the angels batting in the third have scored two runs one on two out and they now lead cleveland 3-2 the yanks picked up another run they're still banning in the fifth yankees leading the orioles in the first of two two nothing here's kevin mcreynolds a low batting average this year 237 home runs so so with 14 rbis up there pretty good for that kind of an average 74 runs driven in one ball no strike that's eric kennedy on pete on the start of the game friday night was he honest he blamed it all on the hitting wolves for the padres he said the pitching really is held up in a pretty good defensive ball club fastball missing outside 2-0 he said that he and others have not had the real timely hit you don't see teams have back-to-back big seasons very much anymore not like you used to used to be a team would get a certain group of people together and they'd reel off victory after victory for a four or five year period doesn't happen that much anymore rangi again on the horner in time to get mcreynolds and then the inning so the san diego padres come up with that double by terry kennedy and that's all they leave their owner at second braves deleted one nothing as we go to the bottom half of inning two this is

out in the bottom half of the second yes that banner you saw a moment ago pretty well sums up the frustration on the part of atlanta fans not only about the baseball team but about all of their professional sports franchises i would say the three pro sports franchises have not had exactly banner years this past season but one of these years one of these years one of these we're going to explode paul runke at third base today hitting 190 one homer two rbis ken obrecht fell out with an injury probably won't play again the rest of the year [Music] 2-0 the count and runge one run two hits for atlanta no runs one hit one error for san diego there's over phil in the braves dugout he ended last season with an injury we'll recall that cast on his hand at the closing part of last year that's one department of braves right up there and injuries not a lot of them this year mostly in the second half of the season first half of the season was relatively injury-free and then all of a sudden in fact i can recall talking with trainer dave pursley about what a fortunate year the braves were having around the all-star break not many injuries maybe we shouldn't have said that that there was no wood to knock on at the point of that conversation three and two of the count now and rangi was good to know you weren't at the bar then three-two pitch on the way to runge hit right at the shortstop royster and there are two outs here's some halftime scores from the nfl minnesota leads buffalo 20-3 the chicago bear is burying washington 31-10 detroit leads tampa bay 10-6 that's still in the second period at the half dallas leads houston seven nothing at the half kansas city leads seattle 21 nothing at the half new england leads the la raiders 20-14 giants in philadelphia scoreless at the half and at the half st louis leads green bay 19-0 rick mailer at 165 for the year no homer has eight rbis here's the 01 pitch towards short again this will be an easy inning for thurman almost a bad throw but garvey stayed with it and it's a one two three second for atlanta at the end of two it's still one nothing atlanta [Music] it takes know-how and time and more than

football the beginning of the basketball training camp in the beginning of the hockey season sports page tonight kevin christopher and nick charles doing their great job and that will be a sensational show tonight by the way live guest tonight coming in from the cnn headquarters in new york new york islander defenseman dennis potman will be a live guest as the nhl kicks off just in time for the baseball playoffs here's tim flattery leading off the third taking a strike batting 286 this year one over 40 rbis he's at 286 royster is at 287. they have shared the second base job since the trade of alan wiggins so they've actually the combination has hit a little better than wiggins hit but they really miss wiggins speed and the o2 lined over third that's a base hitting the left field terry harper gets it back to the infield two hits now off rick mailer and the pitcher mark thurman will probably call down to butt here mitch webster's hit a home run for the expos they leave the cardinals two to nothing in the fourth inning mark salas is at a home run for minnesota and the second inning and the twins lead to nothing oh and one the count of mark thurman he's a 100 hitter for the year no homer's two rbis [Applause] here's the 01 that's high magic number for the dodgers also four they play later on this afternoon at home against the giants cincinnati hanging in there leading houston two nothing at the end of an inning reds have had a red hot september but they may just run out of games mailer with hubbard covering retires thurman flannery winds up down at second and back to the top of the order now jerry royster grounded the second his first time in the eastern division pennant race big thing happening for the mets today they leave pittsburgh three to nothing they're playing in the top of the fourth and the cardinals we told you trailing two nothing and if those scores hold up long way to go in both games they're meant to be out by three games and at least they'd have three games in st louis it's not a great chance but it's better than [Applause] nothing [Music] that's a call strike nothing and what there's the possibility and it's it's a very remote possibility but there is the possibility of a really wacky finish to this baseball season in the national league here's the 01 pitch to royster nothing in two cardinals in the mets could tie and have to have a playoff if it gets down to the last day and cincinnati still has a chance they still have a game to make up with the chicago cubs they could finish on sunday a week from the day a half game behind the dodgers have to fly to chicago to make up a game and if they win that one they'd have a playoff with the dodgers i mean it's really the the playoffs the start of the playoffs could be coming a day or two later than they should and you know the playoffs this year are four out of seven we saw royce just strike strikeout and and we'll see him strike out again not a nice thing due to our old buddy curveball great mailer curve going down to it so pete the way i look at it i guess the end of the world series could coincide exactly with the nba all-star game or the super bowl it does have the potential to go into november if we get a little rain in there a little rain along the way we've got baseball in november folks here's tony who fly to center his first [Music] time gwen won't win the batting title this year as he did a year ago but he's had a good solid season he has an outside chance for a 200-hit season he'd have to have a torrid final week he has 186 hits right now 3-0 the count ozzy smith just hit a home run for the cardinals he's had a terrific year yes at six home runs this year andrea leaves a 2-1 cardinals batting top of the fifth here's the 3-0 and that's over for a strike three and one now the 3-1 on the way ripped foul tony gwynn really uses the whole field he'll take the outside pitch and drive it the opposite way he'll pull the inside pitch he's a great gap hitter too he's a very difficult guy to set your defense against the braves shade him a little bit toward left but don't make a mistake inside adam or he'll pull it right down the line albert will handle this one and that's it for san diego in the third they get a lead off single from tim flannery but can do nothing with it we go to the bottom of the third atlanta still up by a run win your team an official gatorade thirst quencher cooler just like the pros use to enter or for complete details send your team name address and phone number trudell's putting her all in this routine and the judge's lover smith moves ahead in what appears to be a one-man range double play ball andrews to wiley to davis when you exercise you lose potassium fluids minerals gatorade there's quencher helps put them back fast that's why the pros drinking it's thirsty for the deep down body thirsty for everyone working to keep the customer satisfied yeah just for you that distinctively clean crisp taste that says budweiser for all you do this one's for you the andy griffith show yeah my favorite episode is no not yet don they'll have to wait to find out which episodes were chosen by the cast as their all-time favorites andy griffith's silver anniversary special thursday night at 805 eastern on superstation wtbs [Music] in the bottom of the third paul savella glenn hubbard and dale murphy do up and that's astounding this ball club with dale murphy bob horner the power in the middle of the batting order playing in this ballpark the last thing you would think this club would have happened to them would be a lopsided losing record at home like that yeah that's of all the things that are bad about the braves that probably is the worst to be 18 games under at home and it tells you that not only is the pitching poor on the braves but the braves have to get a lot more power for next year when you're playing this small ballpark if you don't live by the sword you're going to die by the sword and the braves have this year paul zavella takes low and inside ball what sevilla doubled his first time up and scored the only run of the game [Music] one ball one strike we'll be in houston tomorrow night pasqual perez against nolan ryan steve pedrosian goes against charlie kerfeld on tuesday afternoon in houston and it's off to los angeles here's the 2-1 delivery and that's a strike on the outside corner two and two if the dodgers haven't clinched it by wednesday braves have an opportunity to play spoiler in there two-game series with the dodgers down the right field line but that's going to drop foul and it stays at two and two half time score from saint louis cardinals leading 19 to nothing philadelphia eagles have taken a three-nothing lead over the giants that game in the third quarter he was scoreless in the first half tim flannery to his right thoroughs and zavello won down now glenn hubbard who had a bunch single his first time up [Applause] [Music] the reds now three to nothing over houston at the end of two [Music] [Applause] outside 401 five in a row have been retired now by mark thurman four of them on ground balls [Applause] it is 2-0 [Music] here's the 2-0 pitch to hubbard fastball taken for a strike two and one thurman a native of houston texas still lives there in the off season turned 29 a couple of weeks ago high in the air but straight away center field not a whole lot of carry to this one kevin mcreynolds battles that sun a bit but makes the catch two down now the center fielder dale murphy who picked up his 109th rbi of the season when he hit into a 6-4 force play in the first [Applause] murthy has already established a new season-high and home runs with 37. 121 is his rbi high that came a couple of years ago [Music] here's the 1-0 from thurman it misses inside 2-0 we mentioned the yankees are winning don mattingly has another home run but toronto keeps on putting on the pressure toronto has scored three in the top of the first at milwaukee and they have the bases loaded with two out swinging to miss the count two in london you know you always find yourself when you look over the other league always usually rooting for one team or another because you know a couple guys on my team it's hard to do between those clubs you've got bobby cox and jeff burrows and cedaw gaston and john sullivan guys like that over toronto you got phil negron joe colley brian fisher people like that over new york hard to root for either one of those against the other i'd like to see them both make it yes they won't though huh no no i think toronto has pretty good chance yeah they sure look like they do they really do one thing reynolds really kill you we talked about the cardinals yesterday pete your absence double headers are tough to win yankees have a double head against the orioles they really have to win both games obviously it's tough to do here's the 2-2 struck him out got him with a low fastball that's the first strikeout for thurman he has a second straight one two three inning we've completed three here in atlanta with our score braves one san diego nothing here's john sterling i look at that graphic for a minute garvey takes it outside mailer has not allowed the lead off man on but boy the first two games of the series first guy up usually base it garvey bunts and he's out of there and he won't do that again garvey has no speed at all trying to surprise the braves of the bunt and as he's sorry he didn't get his three good hacks like he normally does you'll see garvey do this every now and then trying to put one down that third base side because the third baseman always plays him deep the funny thing is he had a little curveball to bun which is a lot easier than bunning a fastball he chose the right pitch just popped it up his greg dental's with one away we're in the top of the fourth the braves have a one-nothing lead mailer trying for number 18. well that at least pete would be exciting if he could win 18 then he gets a start in la and if he wins that then i know bobby wong will start him in san francisco even on two days this may not be the most exciting end to home season before we have the most beautiful day you've ever seen braves lead at one nothing we're in the top of the fourth with one out of this fastball down low 2-0 that was really a crime that mailer couldn't get the win in cincinnati the other night milt thompson came in under a pop fly and short left and simply fell down on the turf that'll be the second out of the inning that's horner takes it you know pete that bob horner has either made none or maybe one error at first base and all the games he's played there he has adapted he really has he looks like he's been over there all his life and what's funny about that is they tried the same experiment with horner back in about 1979 or 80 and it didn't work at all he was very much not at home over there but all of a sudden this time when they moved him over there he looked like he played there forever kennedy takes it down low ball one deep van we're in john sterling where are you from atlanta fulton county stadium our final home game of the year [Music] and then it's off or to houston tomorrow evening in houston on tuesday afternoon l.a wednesday and thursday night san francisco friday night saturday or sunday afternoon kennedy tried to time the slow curve and nubbed it foul so he can't run him kansas city trying to come back in their game they've picked up a run in the third still batting but still trailing minnesota two to one two outs for the padres base is empty and a 2-2 count on terry kennedy kansas city scoring runs faster than we can keep up with here it's now 2-2 against minnesota [Music] and the count goes [Music] and two magic number for the blue jays the cardinals the dodges four any combination of their wins and the other team's losses there's a base hit to right field and kennedy is a line drive hitter he gets his second hit of the day he doubled up now single to right and two outs there's carmelo martinez well the yankees have to win a doubleheader today it's it's really amazing when you put in that position but of course you put in that position by losing games during the year because toronto has scored six runs in the top of the first they lead six nothing milwaukee coming back and if toronto wins that game their magic number will be three and you can see at the yankees i'll tell you one thing about that martinez takes a kerbal outside if the yankees don't win a double letter toronto wins that game the magic number would be two then toronto would have to win just one of the three games against the yanks at home and so the toronto win the yankee loss on that same day blue jays pete i would say that that group and i know their gm is as nice a guy as you could ever meet pat is a very very talented young executive used to be with the yanks they built that franchise you hate to say perfectly but about as perfectly as you want they they lost for a lot of years and only invested in young players that will end the inning murph in center field misjudged it now comes in and makes the catch he went back runs on a hit for the padres they leave one at the end of three and a half is one nothing [Music] bloodline hold the chili if you just ask for a light beer you never know what you'll get give me

sports team you can count on sports tonight every night at 11 30 p.m eastern on cnn beautiful sandra wilson has dropped in the booth you wouldn't believe the conversation that's gone on but that's why we're in the television business because we communicate so well [Laughter] [Applause] sandra said where are you going after the game you said houston she said the one on west paces or that's a local place here in town as is west faces well enough about sandra [Applause] bob horner takes us straight it's okay sandra we need all the material we can get at this stage of the year 31 and 49 at home i guess so orange takes it low and the count evens tommy herr another home run his eighth of the year st louis leads montreal 3-2 i think he's going to be the mvp of the national league so many great candidates and he's one of them and you might be right and boy does that team have a lot of class the cardinals have really answered every charge that met's about a great year now every time they charge the cardinals the cardinals behind in a ball game come up with the runs in the sixth seventh and eighth to win [Music] three and one you know pete you can't do that year after year team does wins games like that one year they usually don't win games like that two years in a row we're in the bottom of the fourth we're laid back and happy today it's one nothing atlanta melo goes for his 18. there's the strike and the count three and two well guess the reverse has happened of what a lot of people forecast what happened when free agency came along used to be if you had a team that was second or third to the same team every year there was very little you could do about trying to improve your club unless you had a farm system that was full of top prospects or unless you could make a deal that would bring over a player that could really help you you kind of had to wait until you could develop somebody to fill up whatever weakness you had now you can go out and get a guy right away sign a guy in the free agent market or get an unhappy player and a second division team who wants to be traded try to pick him up you can you can improve yourself very quickly these days and one other point too that pete rose made during the year hugh alexander the philly super scott made it at the start of the game show last night that strikeout by the way of horner was the second for thurman and terry hopper whiffs at one of thurman's changes pete rose that during the year each team in baseball is just three players away the divisions are not as great between the teams and if you add three good players or three your best players go down in one form or another that changes the structure that's what we're seeing in baseball i think it's good for the game by the way it's been very tough for the braves this year the pirates came back with three in the bottom of the fourth so the mets lead pittsburgh 4-3 at the end of four in a quote-unquote musk game for the mets one and two i'm terry harper one out no one on base in the bottom of the fourth it is one nothing in atlanta upstairs two and two by the way your football game next weekend is indiana northwestern and how about the wildcats winning two ball games already how about indiana winning three well you're gonna have a it's gonna be a good ball game good darn right it's gonna be a good ball game you've had some good ones hit in the air to center field kevin mcreynolds everyone is misjudging fly balls into the strap it he trapped it now the throwback to first and harper gets back you saw murph at the close of the top of the fourth go way back and then had to dash in mcreynolds did the same thing there are no clouds today and maybe that high sky fooling the centerfielders i think two things the high sky number one it's a pretty bright sun shining and also the wind has changed it was blowing out toward left center field when the game began it is now blowing directly in from right center field we seem kind of the same way and two innings that's a base hit by the way and let's dredge up this cliche maybe for the final time this year [Applause] we only have a week to go i don't think we should dredge it up but you know what pete van weren that'll look like a line drive in the monster oh we can use that once more okay one more time thursday hey you must be proud about navy how about that upset you you were telling me last week about how gutty they play they're much smaller team than other teams that beat virginia big upset 1-0 on rick sarone with harper at first base and one man out here on the bottom of the [Music] and carol from delta comes at the booth to say hello little blue eyes and the rest of her tears [Music] [Applause] the braves had a run down last night pete that you missed they must have exchanged the ball 20 times but we'll watch this one again well the padres were able to get for the infielders involved here count the catcher as an infielder which he really is i went 2-6-3-4 it was a hit-and-run and thurman happened to fire fastball so close to cerrone he had to get out of the way and harper was hung out oh two way [Applause] and the two o is foul back would you say they're scoring on that play wars two six three four last night i'm going to look this up for you don't want you to miss next single exciting moment miguel delaney came in as a pinch runner in the 12th inning [Applause] mavacqua double came as a pincher on it first pitch that benedict was missed and he was hung up two six five four two four [Applause] then when out later the next guy doubles and they don't score a run next guy walks and nettles hit a ball to the fence murphy caught it with his back of fence and didn't score then the bottom of the 12th appraiser the base has loaded no one out into the score and wound up losing him gotta love those scoreless innings um oh yeah we duly noted that you weren't here by the way i'm sure you did brad thomas goes up two out cerrone at first base that's the second walk given up by thurman graves lead at one nothing we're in the bottom of the fourth [Music] want to congratulate the parents of our brilliant director rick rayford first of all want to congratulate him for having rick greg comments bows it off but to dick and donna rayford they're celebrating today their 39th year of wedded bliss i'm not going to do the o-line happy anniversary to both of you dick and donna rayford 39 years of marriage and their anniversary today delays steal for cerrone and he's thrown out that's not exactly his bag as they say cerrone is thrown out 2-4 the braves ran the bases pitifully that inning they get no runs on a base it and leave no one and at the end of four is one-nothing atlanta [Music] this bud's for all you guys who know it's how you play

on a really lovely afternoon here at home we'll be going away for a week i know one thing we need to do before we move over to radio john frames are going to draw 1.3 million plus this year for what has really been a disastrous season for the braves and for you 1.3 who came out in support of this ball club the braves really do thank you on this final home day of the year we were talking about it yesterday jupiter on fan appreciation night we really appreciate the fans i mean that tell you why because the fans have been so lenient with the braves and and with us and a million 350 that ain't bad that ain't bad for a team that's gone 31 and 49 at home so we thank you that's pop foul by mcreynolds we'll go down the right field line out of play [Applause] mcreynolds though for one by the way we want to wish a very happy birthday to misty peebles who is nine years old today misty is the daughter of one of our top camera people susan peebles who's running our high home camera we'll get a shot of susan soon that is smoked and it is gone home run mcreynolds to tie the game that's number 15 for kevin and the ball game tied at one i don't know if that was going out that was it so hard a line drive which cleared the fence one hop off the scoreboard out left center field gives them 75 rbis for the year that's a good year for run production for mcreynolds and you wonder how many he would have had and he hit in the 270s as he did last year because last year he also drove in 75 runs hitting about 40 points higher well the ball game tied at one here's tim flatter who takes the strike i can see susan from here running my home i thought citizen was nine years old that's amazing she has a daughter's name well the curveball low tune one to flannery milwaukee did not score on the bottom of the first that's hit hard but hubbard makes a good stab he's been outstanding at second base all year tough to recall hubbard making an error he has made nine this year but that's a very low number when you consider the number of games he plays on this infield would you give you so many bad hops this was not an easy ball to handle this hop a little tough but hub's been making these plays all year long that is chop fowl down the first baseline off the battle thurman you mentioned about the infield is a very tough infield to play it was in great shape at the beginning of the year but then the combination of football and the georgia sun you can't alleviate the sun baking that infield that's that's like playing on cement as gary templeton found out last night i mentioned milwaukee didn't score toronto leads six nothing at the end of one thurman takes a strike and they've got one going in montreal this afternoon tim wallock has just hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning his 22nd of the year expo's back on top in that game now 4-3 over the cardinals well the cardinals trail 4-3 in the mets lead fourth league that game is in the fifth in the cardinal game in the

discuss the larry king show today on nbc [Applause] catch out nothing happened larry had a among other things on his segment stated that the braves were going to acquire ron say during the off season so he asked braves general manager john mullen but he was absolutely shocked he knew there's nothing at all to that for whatever it's worth [Applause] one and two the count then mr king said that andre dawson's going to go to the cubs shortly after the season for leon durham and could be other players involved in that double play ball five he can't get it out of his glove four and that made him safe and murphy absolutely destroyed tim flannery at second base [Applause] balls hit the third flannery had a little trouble nettles did had a little trouble getting it out of his glove that allowed murphy to come on down and knock him down to throw us high flannery wound up standing on his head after that collision and secondly [Music] [Applause] that dawson durham thing i believe the cubs with absolutely no left hand [Applause] another thing that mr king said was dawson would like to play in a ballpark that has at least the home games on on regular grass he's been bothered uh he's had bad legs and playing on artificial turf purchase he had no cartilage left at all in one need they told me he's a gamer though boy he's a good welcome after the rumor started he went out and hit three homers at wrigley field in one game two in one inning six rbis in the same inning any slugger would love to play at wrigley field right here yes now the third base umpire ed montague comes up with a ball that somehow had found its way out on the field from the padre duggar [Applause] and now we're ready to go once again on the 1-1 to terry harper upstairs we love to spread the rumors along send them along but that came on national tv today so we thought we'd pass it along on our national team yes [Applause] of course larry also first the two ones outside what did he call he called the show he was on what cbs calls their ship nfl today or whatever it is and he's on cnn yeah he must not have one of those exclusive closes he's one of the game like we do in the short center flannery's in a world of trouble but gwen calls him off and makes the count two out for rick cerrone kansas city and minnesota 3-3 in the fifth minnesota's still batting they've tied that yet [Music] yankees beat baltimore four nothing [Music] [Applause] joe colley and dave righetti combined on a three-hitter yep it's not joe carr yes it's the first of two they've got another one to follow class strength

six we go to the seventh tied one one [Music] at delta we could talk about our airplanes some of the best maintained most modern birds in the sky or our schedules over 1500 flights a day worldwide or our flight centers the airports of the future but none of that is as important as people and when it comes to the delta professionals the people who make delta is great as it is well one smile is worth a thousand words delta gets you there i found a place where we can put up a cabin i'd like to see it when you've got to go places where the road comes later whistle for the 1985 toyota 4x4 the

box braves honorary bat boy today is bill merriam's boy josh bill's our tbs production manager [Applause] [Music] martinez made an error in the first inning he was really on the rocks about [Applause] them and since it hasn't rained in a couple of weeks he was a grand martinez on the right i thought we might get through nine one time no i've never had [Applause] two balls two strikes 8 35 is tv time tomorrow from the dome perez and ryan will pitch that'd be good to see dick wagner again see what changes he has run in the houston scheme of things to this point surrendered by mailer and here's mcreynolds who's going to change right out of here as last time miguel de launey will come in to run for the padres and if things stay as they maybe he'll get picked off first basement he got kicked off second as a pinch runner last night well that's gotta be the worst feeling in the world get in a game for five seconds to get picked off because of your base running ability but he can fly inside one ball no strikes back on his stomach [Music] things have sort of slowed down here at the ballpark folks serrano's changed pitchers in the third they had a six-nothing lead now it's 6-1 and milwaukee's still batting in that third in boy if they blow that one panic is liable to set in again the throw to first [Applause] tampa bay is not going to win today either detroit leads them 23-9 in football [Music] as predicted ottawa leads montreal 20-7 at the half in canadian football league play the 2-0 pitch right through there is taking all the way two and one if you're gonna hit and run this is a pretty good pitch to do it on nothing in yet on the hamilton calgary game they're not hitting running it's three and what we have no national hockey league exhibition scores to pass along yet either three walls and a strike speaking of hockey who is dennis potlin on the sports page tonight at 105 here on cbs [Music] for the first time this afternoon our cameras are going to swing to the bullpen we got my colors i believe starting to throw all right he walked him two on nobody out two successive walks from there [Applause] and our camera as ernie predicted does in fact swing to the bullpen where lance mccullers is warming up no one has thrown for atlanta today that is extremely rare in the month of september now a left-hander joins the colors i think it's craig lefferts but i'm not sure tim flannery is the batter with two on and nobody out they try that play again i'm wrong it's bob patterson the left-hander in the bullpen for the budget that's a great looking play where the shortstop breaks toward third and the second baseman covers the only trouble with it is it never works looks good though [Music] they try it again and it still doesn't work looks good though yeah it does it looks people running in all directions not just the braves it's very seldom as it worked with anybody we saw it work once in spring training but it is an effort to just hold him a second there and possibly have him break two steps because the shortstop's breaking for third then he's dead the bunts foul is covering third montreal has scored three in the seventh and they're still batting and they leave the cardinals seven five pittsburgh's creeping up aren't they it's like six four and eight with the mets batting in the top of the eighth now the braves bullpen is busy camp is the right-hander forced to the southpaw try that thing again it doesn't work but what it does do is cut down on the runner's lead and that's probably as much what they intend with it as anything else just put it in his mind at the second baseman hasn't broken to cover first yet started a bunch of low on inside count evens one and one delornay at second with reynolds at first nobody out the hits are even at five he bumps a foul back a ball and two strikes kurt bova will pinch it next or at least he's on deck swinging about he would pinch it for thurman [Music] had him off stride but missed upstairs with a change it's two and two four counts three and two now dick williams has a decision to make does he send his running milwaukee's got the bases loaded two in two out and they trail toronto 6-3 in the third [Applause] they're running line great play by hubbard he's all dead that's as exciting and great a play as you'll see you just won't see one like this anymore hubbard diving for the ball knocked it to zavela to get the force and then zoo throw to first the throw to first was in time look at this play it again sam that is some play and we will ball is sharply hit hubbard diving for it just trying to keep it in the infield and hits it off the heel of his glove over to zavela to horner now jerry royster is heading toward the plate but it's not his turn it looks like with two out in a runner at third they're going to go back to thurman all right that's him yeah so all the bullpen out activity comes to nothing not a bad idea he's going to bun his way on he missed the terrible pitch it's owing on so thanks to a brilliant play by hubbard mailer with a great chance to get out of it here he's got the pitcher hitting [Applause] [Music] runner at third and two out owen two he's out of it foul tipped into a strikeout number four no hits no runs no errors or runner left we go to the bottom of the seven thanks glenn hubbard still tied 1-1 [Music] roaches public

safely last time up missed it now the 0-1 instead the first tries it again same result curveball over rangi didn't like it he's behind now they might take the bun off he's looking at bobby doos who got a sign from bobby wine and they pitch out last year andy hawkins had a great postseason well in the playoffs to pitch well in the world series he went on to have a good year this year he's 117. thurman on the other hand after having a good year last year did not pitch well in a championship series or the world series it seems to have some effect on his performance this year as he's under 500 zra last year was in the twos and he was over 500. [Applause] now the tutu once again three and two wonder if they'll send comments ruggy wonders too three balls two strikes there's nobody out comments has good speed [Applause] he's stolen nine bases looks like he's going he's gone and that's driven toward the gap left center field in for a base hit all the way to the wall thomas will score paul runge has made it two to one [Music] [Applause] rungey's at second base [Applause] the battery rick mailer it's now two to one there you see it again is a fastball down a little bit he hit a pretty good pitch and he hit it hard [Applause] his third double of the year his third rbi brave beat the padres last sunday might as well do it two in a row as mailer talks it over with dues [Music] [Applause] [Music] you would feel it he would bunt and garvey thinks so and he's shallow at first nettles will charge from third the bunt is foul again [Applause] owen two [Applause] giants at los angeles it will be mason against bob welch welch is going for his 13th win of the year he's lost only four times to simplify that magic number business that's at four the bun attempt is foul that's a strikeout running with two strikes fouling a strikeout holding at second runge magic number four in other words if the cardinals win four more games doesn't make any difference what new york does same story with the dodgers and toronto they can win all the rest of their games they're going to come up short [Applause] paul zabella [Music] with a double and a ground out plus a walk rungey's back [Applause] [Music] beyonddeck hitters hovered [Applause] trying to think of that other banner that was so cute we had out here this one we have out here today race right up there with one of the top banners of the year hanging on left field foul portal wait till next year next year next year [Applause] that's a classic we put a couple of other ones right up there the 1-0 one involving ted turner that was prominent out here in around the league ted don't buy cbs buy a pitcher ruggies at second teammate at richmond a couple of years back isabella takes the strike [Applause] the colors are throwing in their bullpen again [Music] there you see the young fireballer who got in last night's game now a 2-1 got a little scrooge and i missed with it three and it's one over a week from the day in candlestick park san francisco 85 goes into history books a low fastball over three and two [Applause] actually it's been over for quite a while when you get right down to it payoff fouled away the attendance today should bring it up to about million three hundred and fifty thousand and on behalf of ted turner and the whole gang we thank you for your attendance your patience your understanding could have been a lot worse a lot worse reaction from the fans with the season the braves ahead 3-2 got him on a breaking ball [Applause] out of there now glenn hubbard [Applause] i wonder if he loaded that one up but bob really dropped out on that thing by the way the pirates have scored two in the eighth to tie the mets six six and they're still batting montreal still beating the cardinals they're in the 8-7-5 hubbard hits it foul up by bobby dews [Applause] here it's 2-1 atlanta [Applause] not the fifth inning they played on the va system you gotta have heart i think that's from damn yankees fit in this year the o-1 over on two i think that show is being staged locally by the atlanta playhouse or somebody because they had some actors and actresses doing it prior to the game very popular great show [Music] movie made of it too the pitch a little bit high thurman has thrown a lot of pitches but he trails only two to one the braves have seven hits san diego five hubbard's looking for second hit of the game he had a bun single that's scroogie or whatever it is going down and out of there on strikes is hubbard he struck out the side but he gave up a run we go to the eighth two to one brave well done royster hubbard nice play throws him out one pitch one down top of the air boy that must be something yankee stadium earl weaver has been kicked out of the second game before it started probably exchanging the lineup card he was kicked out of the first one so was third base coach cal ripken senior that's happened earl before right up at home plate get back into it here's tony gwen a ball high and the 1-0 blind hit right field very seldom as he go hitless tony guinn with his first hit this afternoon and hit summer six by san diego what do you think he said the second time he got kicked out not on sunday i bet he said more than that yes the production of damn yankees is opening up here in atlanta on october 9th at the georgia pacific center theater where's that i haven't heard of that one it's here at atlanta oh really thank you want to know in the production the atlanta braves meet the yankees in the world series runner going the pitch is all the way to the backstop looked like cerrone looked like cerrone was crossed up you've heard us talk about it if you expect the curve and the pitcher throws a fastball deep trouble that might have happened [Music] he never did shift the ball just tailed up and in that'll be a stolen base he was going on the pitch [Music] they've got the tag run at second they've got the tying run with a chance to score and he will do it it's a 2-2 game [Music] garvey with a single up the middle make it 2-2 [Music] [Applause] looked like a fastball and he hit it right back where it came from murphy fielded it quickly but gwen is one of the fastest on their team pittsburgh has taken the lead over new york 7-6 still batting in the eighth they've scored three runs they have one on and two outs nettles all in one forester's ready if needed the 01 pitch in the dirt gets away that'll be a wild pitch and garvey's down at seconds those are the kind that are really tough we can't blame cerrone at all he shifted he got his body in front of it just tried to deaden the ball but it glanced away at an angle and the runner moves up nettles is 0 for 3. put garvey at second on a wild pitch off the end of the bed [Applause] one ball two strikes camp joyce joins forster in the braze bullpen now the one-two toward third runge with a long throw got it garvey comes to third nice play by paul runge [Applause] he's got a good and he arm it off there [Music] the last time they're in this situation they let kennedy hit they didn't put him on there's a braze bullpen leo mazzone is on his way out to see mailer it's a question of whether they pitched to kennedy again they struck him out last time but that's a potential winning run at third base right now last time it was back in the sixth not quite as dangerous right-hander is due next now check that davis is due next believe he's a right-hander [Music] he is they're gonna walk kennedy to get to davis davis took over for martina they'll be runners at first and third and two away there you see the numbers on davis this is only his 41st game and is 52nd at [Applause] that two away in the pitch strike [Music] yeah hello padres won last night in 13. here's a 1-1 sloker one and two every once in a while mailer will drop down and throw sidearm as he did [Music] [Applause] here's a one-two close two and two the yankees beat the orioles in the first of two four nothing toronto's winning 8-3 in the 5th at milwaukee curve got him in the dirt jerome throws him out good pitching by mailer however they tie it we go to the bottom of the eighth two two [Music] [Applause] murphy with an rbi and a ground out in the perth singled in the sixth toronto's pounding lumps on the milwaukee brewers at county stadium it's 10-3 now in the fifth [Music] they want to have at least a four-game lead with only three to play against the yankees [Music] bobby cox would feel happy about that everybody and their brother could play in that series wouldn't make any difference two wow this guy throws hard 3-0 they called him up first part of august [Music] he was the starting pitcher in the miners [Applause] three all fastball high murphy's award [Applause] thurman pitch well seven innings allowed only two runs seven hits [Applause] bob horner the better [Music] it's a final montreal beat st louis seven five [Applause] if new york comes back they're trailing right now there would be only three back pitch to the captain is low thurman walked three and struck out four graves got their batters up to do something about this 2-2 game harper's on deck horner hitting almost got hit boy that howard johnson home run in the ninth to tie the game his 11th of the year he's gotten some he's had an awful year statistically but he's getting some big hits for the mets down the stretch oh hasn't he so the mets got a chance to win and to cut a game off the cardinals league [Music] cardinals and mets have a three-game series coming up in st louis galen cisco went out to talk to mccullers to all hit high into the air and right center mcreynolds with a catch tyler batter terry harper [Music] baltimore failed to score top of the first yankees batting bottom half of the first and the second game don mattingly had a home run in that first game it was his 200th hit of the year and it's the first time that any yankee had gone back to back with years in which he hit 200 or more hits since joe dimaggio did it way back in 1936 and seven ernie i understand on the sports page tonight nick charles and kevin christopher will give exact quotes of what earl weaver said to get thrown out of the second game that's a 1005 eastern time might be rated r one ball no strikes he said dirty mcafritz and things like that they do a great job on that show by the way that's really a comprehensive look at the weekend sports earl probably turned his cap around when he was arguing [Applause] you know a guy who we never mentioned and should on that sports page is louis castillo he's the guy that puts it all together he does a terrific job now the 1-1 won't be made time call for the moment harper's had a base hitting three tries too official at bats he walked once he really didn't mean to swing he started to couldn't check it fell down kennedy helps him up almost helped him up look at terry he's had that kind of day he's falling down all over the place hit the deck in left field he hits the deck at the plate he really got sawed off there boop boom kennedy says que pasa keep your feet you get a draw barry's at a good year 70 rbi one two outside the giants failed to score top of the first dodgers now batting that's a dodger stadium runner going thrall out of there murphy's cut down flannery took the throw it is the top of the night mcreynolds takes a strike you didn't see it you're just going to have to take my word for it and the old one that is not a strike that's right ernie mcreynolds homered in the fifth inning 1-1 pirates bat in the bottom of the ninth it's 7-7 now the two one [Music] three one extra innings yesterday heading that way today that's a base at the left boy he's swinging a bad well tie breaker at first and nobody out raised boop and quiet tim flannery is a batter he's one for three [Applause] [Music] funded val not terry forster and rick cam starts roy we haven't the attendance as yet but you said it was what 7588 what they're about no i said it was 7588 you were right on target last night i know boring did it yeah being right all the time i was wrong once i thought i'd made a mistake and it turned out i hadn't [Music] good play by mailer let's see if savella's okay flannery just buns this ball too hard it's almost like a pepper game and mailer doesn't hesitate gives her own credit i'm sure he was screaming there's the hit on zuvella but he's all right bobby brown inserted into the lineup in the last hitting batting night the pitcher is batting sixth brown hasn't been too productive adding only 158. he's a switch hitter two balls are no strikes high pop back out of play [Applause] so and the two on over our ticker has the giants leading the dodgers one nothing after one the scoreboard has san francisco failing to score in the first but i think they got one a sidearm curve to a lefty gotta make sure it's in a good spot that's a risky business isn't it they see it so well and it's flat two and two all the way again [Applause] the 65 roses club of the cystic fibrosis foundation honored bob horner dale murphy and kerry forster today before the game [Music] [Applause] they do a lot of work for cystic fibrosis 2-2 fly ball left terry harper [Applause] now with two down we go to the top of the order jerry royster looking for his first hit of the day he's old for four [Applause] he's playing short today because gary templeton took a bad hop in the side of the face last night had to leave the game [Applause] flannery has a couple of stolen bases but he's just average speed he's been caught five times california's clubbing cleveland now it's eight to three in the eighth and minnesota's beating kansas city six to three in the eighth those scores stay the angel the game up what do you like of the texas seattle game that's just getting started [Music] plot riding their announcer said the same thing about our game look at that [Applause] jerry royster dropped one down for a basset that'll bring bobby wine out of the dugout he's got the left-hander forster in the bullpen and left-hand hitter tony gwynn is the battery's a very very good hitter against anybody so i don't know if bobby's gonna make a move or not he has not looked to the bullpen yet another good pitching performance by mailer here it's good to know that he's back yeah he's gonna give him the hook i think the fans want mayweather to stay in the game [Music] but forster will be qualified [Music] mailer will get a nice ovation from the fans here they're standing behind the dugout rick said two good outings in a row for gray's best picture this year that a boy rick while forster takes his warm-up toss and we'll break away for this missile be the batter with runners at first and second bruce benedict signed a three-year contract today speculation is on it's worth over 500 dollars a year [Music] baylor is just homered for the yankees in the first with one on his 22nd and the yankees lead baltimore three nothing still batting in the first tony gwynn who goes with the pitch pitch him outside hits it to left pitch him inside pulls it to right tough guy won't hit that one anywhere right under the chin want to know [Applause] [Music] almost hit him again two and a half popeye's on deck that's steve garvey with those forearms [Music] now a 2-0 make it 3-0 and the ball four [Applause] [Music] well let's see now bobby wine takes forester out and replaces him with camp [Music] looks like it's going to happen the bases are loaded [Applause] flannery's at third albert hall is a new left fielder harper's out camps a new pitcher garvey's about it where the base is loaded 8292 paid here this afternoon camp first pitch almost hit it want to know [Applause] it's 2-2 top of the ninth broken bat pot zavella camp camden come out number three [Applause] extra innings at pittsburgh new york 7 pittsburgh 7. [Applause] thompson at 303 no homer's 6 rbi the fans like him he's been an exciting player [Applause] thompson had three hits here last night two of them doubles by the way [Applause] [Music] [Applause] toronto now leading milwaukee 11-3 in the six yankees leading baltimore three-nothing they got three in the first baylor had a two-run [Music] homer [Applause] handle one two by the way the colors doesn't get very fancy he just rears back and lets it fly gene walter starts throwing in their bullpen oh thompson's hit with a curveball he's not gonna rob [Applause] looked like a curveball that just chased him it hurt him a little bit too but he's not gonna as they say rub give anybody any satisfaction yeah i got him very close to that funny [Applause] bone thompson's at first kamensk is about it they are looking for the bun nettle's the third garvey first the colors with a pretty good move over [Applause] there [Music] i believe he offered it that yes he did home plate dump said he didn't they asked renner and he said yeah [Music] [Applause] yeah there was no doubt about it he tried to bump the ball right there and missed it [Music] [Applause] the l-1 high one ball one strike oh it's hard to bun a guy who can throw her and especially if he keeps it up a little bit you tend to pop it up one ball one strike beautiful body be an error i believe on mccullars he should have had it it is a sacrifice for comments took a little funny hop on him and by now there's nothing he can do anyway it's a sacrifice an error on the pitcher two are on with nobody out now you figure that paul runge will be bunting as well and the padres will doubtless put a play on with royster covering third and nettles charging that would be my guess you remember they made the switch so albert hall is batting in the pitcher spot had a good day single and a fifth and doubled in a run in the seventh comments get first thompson at second and the bun attempt a ball low just about every team has the same defensive plays just a question of when you put it on nanos wants to make sure that mccullers knows just what's going to happen kennedy goes out too [Music] winning run at second base in a 2-2 game mailer went eight and two thirds gave up nine hits two runs they were earned three walks one intentional and five strikeouts so the folks back in texas going to be rejoicing as rick has two good outings see that play doesn't work for them either [Applause] one does the job he gets the winning runs to third comments gives it second albert hall is scheduled let's see if he bats they've got a base open they've got clawdell washington they've got chambliss general perry gerald perry as pinch hitters i think the guess here is that they'll walk him anywhere but they may not we'll have to wait and see chablis comes to the on deck they'll put him on to set up the double play and a force at the plate but that's why hall continues to hit in this why waste a guy if you're going to walk him anyway [Music] [Applause] we've really beat him to death in this inning haven't we yes hit batsman and air a sacrifice an intentional walk [Applause] and the bases will be loaded for chambliss i believe they might make a pitching change i don't think chambliss has been announced yet dick started on now goes back he's going to make the braves announce somebody before he yes yes fred brocklander went over and then yelled to marshall man chambliss the announcement has to be made now william will come out that looks like gene walter down there and ramirez will hit for chambliss and i imagine that's what bobby wyan wanted out of this [Applause] situation while they make the pitching change we'll break away for this message and remember the cardinals have already lost seven to five if new york wins there are only three back i'm not sure if that series starts tomorrow in st louis or not i'm not either it's either tomorrow or tuesday yes kennedy telling walter now if you get a ball hit back to you come on home with it yeah dick williams looks on ramirez came on last night had a pinch hit single the winning run is a third ramirez with a chance to pick up his 58th rbi that would match his league high they've got everybody in the outfield at little league depth fly ball of any depth it's over so everybody is close and the pitch almost hit him wanna know [Applause] tickles the fans and they see the outfielders playing this shallow they've seen infields up but not the outfielders there you can see him now the 1-0 [Applause] gets away and almost hit him again two and uh the old walk is as good as a hit comes into play if you manage do you turn him loose now got to throw a strike you get a good pitch to hit her do you make him throw a strike first i'd like to make them throw a strike [Applause] now i know i make him throw a striker free enough in fact it could go right down the line and the fans stand up to try to rattle gene walter dad's pitch and it's over three on straight call three and one gotta let him hit here three balls in one strike one out winning run third three one tip foul get a good cut three and two give walter credit he came back from three and all with the bases loaded and a winning run at third that's not easy start to look like a postage stamp now ramirez has the guard to play three two full everybody will touch the next day ramirez gets the walk the braves win 3-2 on a walk for the bases loaded final score and skip heads a total ernie for atlanta three runs seven hits no heirs the braves left nine for the padres two runs nine hits two errors they love ten rick camp and relief the winner he's three and six lance mccullars in relief the loser he is 0-2 rafael ramirez gets a major league ties his major league high in rbis with his 58th that was his fifth game-winning rbi of the year 8292 paid to see it coming up next a sports report with all the scores from baseball and football with paul ryden thank you for
