  Speaker 1: Ron Verb, I'm saying what everyone else won't after Guardians
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: baseball on 570 WKBN.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Guardians trailing 1-0, second inning here in Anaheim. Nathaniel Lowe
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: leads things off for the Guardians, and Grayson Rodriguez fires
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: a strike on the outside corner. 95 on the fastball.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: We'll see a lot of that today as he averages
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: mid to upper 90s with his hard stuff. Here's the 0-1,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: and that's swung on and peppered into right center field.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: A base hit off the bat of Lowe. It's deep
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in the gap. Does he go for it? Nope, stays
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: at first base. With a long single, sharply struck by
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Nathaniel Lowe. Well, if there's a right field arm that
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Nathaniel Lowe probably knows better than any right field arm
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball, it is his younger brother, Josh.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: As he smoked this baseball, looked like this ball was
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: going to get in the gap. but give his younger
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: brother Josh a little credit, was not about to let
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: his brother lead off with a double. So Lowe's aboard
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: for Angel Martinez. Rodriguez delivers, and his pitch is outside
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: for a ball. Well, in the first four innings we play,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the Conrads score four, win four new tires contest. Guardians
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: score four or more runs in any of the first
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: four innings. Joanne Corey of Silver Lake wins a set
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of Bridgestone tires. Martinez swings and skies one high in
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the air to center. Coming in on it, Teodosio, and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: he makes the catch. First out in the inning, no
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: advance by Lowe. If you'd like to enter the Conrads
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: score four, win four new tires contest, visit econrads.com. Brought
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to you by Conrads Tire Express and Total Car Care.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Here's Angel Hanao. Night off last night for Hanau, rookie infielder.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: The pitch to him, and it's outside for ball one. Hanau,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: 17 games into his major league career. The average still
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: up at 290. He has a home run, three runs
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: driven in. Here's the pitch from Rodriguez. Fastball strike on
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the inside corner. Good hard fastball right there, too, from Grayson.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Not much on help could do. I think he's rightfully
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: so kind of looking up and out over the plate
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: here on this. Next pitch to him. And it's outside
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and high for a ball. Guardians trying to match their
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: longest winning streak of the season. They won seven in
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a row back in May. The 2-1. Strike called on
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the outside corner, 2-2. Chris, we've talked about a little
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: bit on this road swing. Teams that are struggling. Some
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of the worst records in baseball, the Guardians are playing
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: right now in Colorado and the Angels. Prior to that,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the Giants. You still have to go out and play
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the game, right? Yes, you absolutely do. And it's not
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: who you play, it's when you play those certain teams.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Here's the 2-2. Just downstairs for ball three. And right now,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: obviously the Angels are still trying to find a new
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: identity after the trade deadline and trading seven players off
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: their major league roster. There's an infusement of a lot
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: of young talent here now. And the same thing can
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: be said for the Rockies. Payoff pitch. Swung on. Ripped
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to first. Just foul. Just foul near the bell. So
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: we'll do it again on three and two. Now the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Guardians have Done what they've needed to do on this
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: road trip so far. They'd won the final game of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the homestand against the Giants last Thursday. And now trying
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to sweep a road trip. And sweep the season series
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: from the Angels. It would be the fourth time that
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: they have done that in a series of five games
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: or more. The 3-2 swung on and that's lifted high
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: in the air but foul. Down the left side and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: out of play. The Guardians swept the Angels in 2019, 2017,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and 1994. That doesn't happen often, that's for sure. Now
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the payoff pitch. Swung on and there's a high fly
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: ball to dead center. Settling under it, Teodosio, and he
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: makes the catch shy of the warning track. And now
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: is retired and low remains at first base now with
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: two down with the Angels up one nothing in this
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: top half of the second inning. Austin Hedges will step in.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Playing in the shadow of his hometown San Juan Capistrano.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Down the road heading towards San Diego a little bit.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And he's had mom and dad here for a couple
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of the games. Saw him out yesterday having a chat
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: with everybody. What a year for Hedges at the plate
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: as Lowe draws a throw. That doesn't happen very often.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Austin Hedges batting 270, five homers, 21 runs batted in.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Career batting average under 200 coming into this season, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: it's been a long career for Hedges. More than a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: decade in the big leagues. Here's the pitch to him,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and he swings and lifts it to shallow center, coming
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: on to Adosio, and he makes the catch to retire
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Hedges and the Guardians in the second. After an inning
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and a half, it's the Angels 1, the Guardians nothing.

  Speaker 6: is all about the Valley after Guardians baseball on 570.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: WKBN. 1-0, the Angels lead as Joey Cantillo takes the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: mound in the bottom of the second for the Guardians,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: facing Josh Lowe. Right fielder, left-handed batter, here's the pitch,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and it's upstairs for ball one. Lowe batting. 213 with
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: 10 home runs, 27 driven in. and to work through
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: some injury issues this season. Here's Cantillo's 1-0 delivery to Lowe.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Off speed again. Stays high for ball two. Now we
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: want to send out happy birthday wishes, belated birthday wishes,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to the best traveling secretary in baseball, Jared Jones. Next
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: pitch is down low for a ball. Jarrett Jones, birthday
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: number 33 today. And when you're from Indiana and you're 33,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that's the Larry Bird birthday. Kind of a big deal.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Larry Bird, number 33 for his tremendous career. There's a
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: pitch down low for a ball. Low draws a four-pitch
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: walk and a leadoff base runner. But J.J. celebrating his
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: birthday last night. And now rewarded with a travel day today. Amen.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: But it was at least nice of the boys to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: reward his birthday with a very nice team-oriented victory. Get that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And now right back to work. The travel days are
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: the World Series days for the travel guys. If you
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: want to call it that. They have to be on
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: their game and JJ as good as anybody. Denzer Guzman
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: steps in. Takes a pitch outside and high for ball one.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Now the 1-0 from Joey Cantillo. Low and inside. 2-0
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the count. I don't know how those guys keep track
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: of them on a travel day. I know. I mean,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many suitcases there are. JJ might
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: have arguably the hardest job of anybody in the entire organization.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: The amount of jobs that he has. underneath his umbrella
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: of travel director. The 2-0 outside.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: 3-0.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Exponentially large amount of jobs that poor JJ has to do.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: But like you said, he always does it with a smile.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: He's more than happy to help. And unbelievable at his job.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Now the 3-0 pitch. On the outside corner for a strike. 3-1. Guzman.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Young third baseman. And again, the Angels undergoing roster turnover.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Trying to get younger. Full rebuild. The 3-1. Outside and
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: high for ball four. So back-to-back walks by Cantillo. And
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: with nobody out, that's runners at first and second for
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the Angels. Out to the mound, Austin Hedges to have
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: a chat with him. Yeah, this is a good visit
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: here from Austin. Seven straight balls before Joey got a
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: strike in there to Guzman before that final ball four.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I think this group in the infield right now knows
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: how important it is for Joey to get it deep
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: into this ballgame as he possibly can. Again, hot, humid,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: probably a little sweat on the hands. Maybe not the
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: best feel for the baseball, but they're going to have
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: to find a way this afternoon to get him through
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: at least, at the very least, five innings, if you
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: have to think. You would think that they have to
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: get there somehow, some way. Hey, the Guardians and PNC
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Bank are going to bat for small business. Throughout the season,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: join PNC Bank in honoring six local businesses that could
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: make a difference in the community. Tyler Heinemann steps in.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: The pitch to him. He shows bunt, pulls it back,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: takes it down low for a ball. Heinemann, a nice pickup.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And a cash deal with the Blue Jays back in June.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Veteran catcher. Had played in 33 games with the Jays
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: this year. Right-handed batter, the pitch to him. Shows bunt,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: pops it up behind the plate. Hedges is there, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: he makes the catch. In foul territory, Heinemann pops out
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: trying to bunt. Well, thank you very much. First and foremost,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: that's an uneasy feeling. Your job there is to get
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: that ball put on the ground. Popped it up just off.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: The dirt there at home plate, easy play for Austin Hedges.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: And now, again, you hope that's maybe that little break
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: that Joey needs to find himself back in the strike
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: zone and cruise. Bryce Teodosio steps in, and he takes
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: a strike on the inside corner with the curve. 1-0,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Angels lead. And they are threatening here in the second
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: inning with two on, one out. And their number nine hitter, Teodosio,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: just up from AAA Salt Lake today. In the lineup,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: center field, but batting just 198 in 34 big league
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: games this year. Open stance from that right side. And
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: now Cantillo steps off. Off day tomorrow for the Guardians.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: They're back at it Friday night. opening up that 10-game
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: homestand against Kansas City. Next pitch, low and in for
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: a ball. Royals for three, and then an off day Monday.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Blue Jays come in for three, and then the Tigers
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: for four on Labor Day weekend. Now the 1-1. Curve
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: ball missed outside, 2-1. So, command and issue early.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: For Cantillo. Yeah, it has been. And again, when Joey's good,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: he is in the strike zone early and often. And
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I've said this multiple times. I still, to this day,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: think he has the best pure stuff of any starter
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: on our staff. The 2-1. Herb Ball, strike on the
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: inside corner. And leaving it at 2-2. Sometimes when you
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: have stuff as nasty as Joey's, it can be very
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: difficult to... To control on a daily basis. His last
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: start was in Colorado. You and I talked about this
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: before the game. First the 2-2. Low and in, ball three.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: About how his curveball was breaking four inches less up
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: in Colorado. So trying to find that arm spot, you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: your release point for that pitch, getting that ball to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: go or break the direction and the depth that you
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: want it to, to now coming here to sea level,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: and it's hot and humid. Not an easy task to
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: need to find in-game that release point you need. And
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: that's where you feel for the Rockies pitchers because they
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: go through this all the time. For the Guardians, it's
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: once every other year. The 3-2 pitch. Low and in.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Ball four. A walk to Teodosio. And now they're loaded
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: up on walks with only one out. And arguably the
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: top hitter for the Angels, Zach Netto, coming in. Beto
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: at the top of the lineup, singled his first time up,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and he'll have to wait as pitching coach Carl Willis
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: is on his way to the mound to have a
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: chat with Joey Cantillo. Don't forget the September Guardians ballpark
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: pass presented by Planet Fitness is on sale now. Get
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: a standing room only ticket to all 13 September home games,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: just $ 59. Matchup's in there. against the White Sox and Tigers,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: among others. Ballpark Pass is available at CLEGuardians.com. Another mound
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: meeting complete as Willis heads back to the dugout. Four
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: walks already in the game for Cantillo, three this inning.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: And now Netto steps in. Long set. Here's the pitch.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Outside and high for ball one. Josh Lowe, the base
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: runner at third. Denzer Guzman is out at second. And
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Bryce Teodosio is on at first. 1-0 Angels already. Here's
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the pitch. And it's outside and high. Ball two. Antillo
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: battling those command issues early. Trying to settle in in
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: a hurry. Here's his pitch. Swung on. A chopper foul
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: outside of third. So two and one the count on
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Zach Netto out of Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: He's from Miami, but said none of the Florida schools
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: recruited him when it was time to go to school
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: and play college ball. Here's the 2-1. And it was inside.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Did it hit him? Yes, it did. It clipped Netto
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: on the way by in the knee. So he's hit
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: by a pitch that forces in a run from third
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: and it's 2-0 Angels. Josh Lowe comes down the line
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: from third. Netto heads to first with his 64th run
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: batted in. Base is still loaded. Still only one out.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: It looked like this ball got Zach Netto on the
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: back knee. Just grazed that back knee. And now again,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Joey Cantillo needed a ground ball here against Mike Trout
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: in the worst kind of way. Trout looks at an
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: off-speed pitch outside for ball one. Very few fastballs so
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: far today from Cantillo and Sometimes he'll use that a
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: little bit more often than you would think to take
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: hitters off the breaking stuff. There's a swing and a
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: line drive to center. Coming on, making the catch is
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Stephen Kwan. Tagging, heading for home and scoring, standing up
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: is Guzman. The throw came into second. Teodosio got back there.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: But the sack fly by Mike Trout plates another run
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: for the Angels. And it's now a 3-0 Angel lead. Well,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: this is just a good job by Mike Trout. Not
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: trying to do too much. Stay to the big part
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: of the field. Get it out there just deep enough.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Stephen Kwan realizing as he's running in to catch this
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: ball because the play is right in front of him.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: The runner at second base initially broke to third. Thought
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: about trying that ball out at second base. Vaughn Grissom
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: steps in. He takes a pitch low and in for
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: ball one. Grissom. Reached on an infield single. There was
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: a throwing error on the play, and the Angels' first
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: run came around to score back in that first inning.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Here's the 1-0. Swung on, and that's lifted high in
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the air to right. Settling under it, Joe Adele. And
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the right fielder makes the catch. Side retired, but the
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Angels had a pair of runs, and we'll head to
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the third. It's Los Angeles 3, the Guardians nothing on

• 20:52
  Speaker 2: home plate. Nice job there by Brian Rocchio, just trying
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: to be a little pesky. That pitch was arguably too
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: close to take, so good job. Lives to see another
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: day here. The 0-2. Swung on and he lifts it
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: high in the air to left. Right there is Siri

  Speaker 2: for a ball.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: 1-1.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I hope we're enjoying... Your late afternoon back home. Maybe
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: you're in the car driving home from work and have
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the game on. Here's the 1-1. Down low, 2-1. Bright,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: sunny day here in Anaheim with our game time temperature
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: of 92, and it's up to 94 now. I believe it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: We might get triple digits today. Well, I did see
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: on the news this morning that was a possibility. The 2-1.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Swung on, and that's lifted foul and out of play
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: on the left. And again, very few fans are out
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: in the sunshine. There's a big upper deck here in
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a second level, so some shade throughout the ballpark. The 2-2,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: swung on, lined, foul, left side out of play. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: everybody's tucked underneath. Nice play down there, too. A gentleman
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: with a barehanded jumping catch. That's a game on a
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Wednesday afternoon. Absolutely. The 2-2. Swung on. There's a tapper
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to the second baseman. Up with it more and he
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: throws low. Ball bobbled but they say that Grissom hung
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: on to it long enough for the out. So Kwon
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: has retired for the second out in the inning. And
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: that'll bring up Travis Pazana. One of the folks under
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: cover here. Just a brave few getting that That good
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: bright sunshine. We'll see how long they last out there.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: As Bazzana steps in, here's the pitch. And it's on
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the outside corner for a strike. I mean, no lie. Chris,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I think there's 12 people in the bleachers and right? Yeah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: The 1-0-1 pitch is swung on and missed. It's 0-2.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I kind of imagine that is about The hottest place
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: on earth right now. Those bleachers. It looks like tinfoil
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: out there. It does. And the sun just radiating off
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: those poor seats. Yes. Now the 0-2 pitch from Grayson Rodriguez.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Breaking ball down low. Checked his swing. It's been that
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: kind of road trip that The strength and the conditioning staff,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: the training crew, it has been all about hydration and
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: everything else that they do to keep these guys going
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: in a good direction when it's hot. Here's the pitch,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: and it's swung on, fouled back. Yeah, they certainly made
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: their money this trip for sure. And again, I was
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: talking with Tanner Bybee the other day about that specific thing,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: it being the first time he pitched in Colorado, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: just asked him if he felt a noticeable difference, and
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: he said he was absolutely blown away with how much
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: of a difference he felt being at altitude. There's the one-two.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Swung on. Ground ball. First base. Fair ball. Diving stop. Grissom. Backhand.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Toss to first. Not in time. Safe at first is
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Bazzano with an infield single despite a great effort from
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the first baseman, Vaughn Grissom. Well, that was a great effort.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: He smothered that baseball, rolled around, and as he rolled,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: tried to get up. And shovel that ball to a
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Grayson Rodriguez. The ball shoveled. His glasses actually came off
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: of his hat. And he threw those and the ball
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: at the same time. I saw something go flying. Was
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: wondering what it was. We had a chance to see
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: it here on the replay. Fortunately, he may need to
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: wipe those off before he puts them back on his hat.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez must have been wondering, what is going on? Well,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Bazana at first. Two out base runner for the Guardians.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: They trail 3-0. Angels with three runs on just two hits.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: No runs, four hits for the Guardians. Here's the pitch.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: And it's down low for ball one. Jose Ramirez, the batter,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: a single his first time up. Building off the big
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: night last night when he had the three doubles and
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: five runs batted in. The pitch to him. Outside for
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: a ball. 2-0 the count on Jose. I'm sure Jose
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: would love to find his way on right now with
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Joe Adele on deck. You just feel like Joe's kind
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: of waiting for that signature welcome home moment. The 2-0,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: swung on line, and it hit Bazana. The line drive
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: hits Bazana, so the inning is over. Another line drive
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: for Jose Ramirez, ticketed for right field. But with Bazana
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: at first, he started making that move to second and
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: got smoked with that line drive. It looks like he's okay.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: The side is retired. And we'll head to the bottom
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: of the third. Anaheim. In Anaheim, the score, the Angels 3,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the Guardians nothing. Check engine or ABS light on?
• 27:07

  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Ron Furb.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not holding back, ever, after Guardians Baseball on 570 WKBN.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Bottom of the third inning underway. Joey Cantillo fires to
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Christian Moore, who swings and misses for strike one. Moore
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: walked his first time up. 1-1 the count on him. 3-0,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Angels lead. As Cantillo delivers the 1-1. Breaking ball in
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: there for a strike. Last inning ended on a line
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: drive off the bat of Jose Ramirez that hit the
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: base runner, Travis Buzana. So Ramirez gets credit for a single.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: He's now two for two. And because Buzana's out, the
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: out is reported unassisted by the second baseman. Here's the 1-2.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: In tight, 2-2. And Bazana stays in the game at second.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: He was thrilled. Yes, he was. Near the ribs, maybe? No,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I think that actually got his arm, his right arm.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Now the 2-2. Upstairs for a ball, 3-2. Cantillo, he's
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: really had command issues here today. Four walks already, as
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: well as a hit batsman, and that forced in a
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: run last inning. Here's his payoff pitch. Swung on, foul back,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: and out of play, straight back. He'll do it again
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: on three and two. Well, if Joey can find a
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: way to keep the game score as it is, we
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: saw the bullpen for Anaheim get worked overly aggressively yesterday night,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: and you hope This offense has got another comeback. The
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: 3-2 down low. Ball four. More walks for the second time.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: The Angels, they did make the move to add an
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: arm to their bullpen before the game. The Guardians did not.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: They'll try to make it through here today. Up to
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: the plate for Los Angeles, Jose Siri. He struck out
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: his first time up. Hey, don't forget, coming up Sunday,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: it's the final Kids Fun Day of the summer, Guardians
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: and Royals. Get to the ballpark early, all kinds of
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: fun activities, and postgame, kids run the bases. The pitch
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: to Siri is swung on and missed for strike one.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: That's presented by Cleveland Clinic. Get your tickets at cleguardians.com.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Moore with a leadoff walk, off the bag at first.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Here's the pitch, and Siri takes it on the inside corner.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Strike two, Paul. There was a good fastball. We haven't
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: seen many fastballs so far. No, we haven't, but I
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: have seen Joey wipe his hand off on his pants
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: about six times. The 2-0 curve just missed outside. And again,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I know the humidity out here, which is not something
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: you're used to on the coast. but you've got to
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: feel like that's given him fits with holding on to
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: the baseball. Here's the one-two. Swung on, ground ball to short.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Rocio to the back for one. Bazana the first. Double play.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Nicely turned around the bag by the Guardians. 6-4-3. Well,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: that was an outstanding job by Joey. Getting that ball
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: put on the ground, a little two-for-one action right there.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: You love that. Now if he can just find a
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: way to get strike one and then try to expand
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: from there. Go in the heart of the plate. It's
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: okay to do that early in the count. Nothing he
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: throws is straight, so everything he throws moves. So if
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: you aim middle, give yourself the best room for error.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Josh Lowe, the batter, takes the pitch low and outside.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: It's 3-0 Angels, bottom of the third. Here's Cantillo's 1-0 pitch.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: To the veteran, Josh Lowe. Swung on and popped him up.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: High in the air on the infield, battling the sun. Rocchio,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: and he makes the catch. Side retired. We head to
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the fourth. It's the Angels three, the Guardians nothing on
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: the Cleveland Clinic radio network. Hi, this is Dan Rivers.
