  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Furb.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Big stories, big opinions after Guardians Baseball on 570 WKBN.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Left on left, eighth inning, 4-2 Cleveland. Drew Rahm to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Stephen Kwan. And pitch number one is up and in.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Ball one. Stephen Kwan came on to pinch it in
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the sixth and walked. Seven inning totals, Cleveland four runs,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: five hits, no errors, eight left. Milwaukee two runs, four hits,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: no errors, eight left. The pitch swung on a little
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: looping liner into right center. It's a base hit for
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Stephen Kwan. How about the hitting today? In the clutch,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Cleveland's 0-4-7. That's continued a trend, but Milwaukee, the best
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: clutch hitting team in baseball... One for ten with men
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: in scoring position. Here's Khalil Watson, his Major League debut.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: 0 for 3. Strikeout, line out, ground out. The set.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The pitch. And it's over but low. Ball one. Guardians
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: with a homestand. A week from tomorrow against Seattle. Dollar Dogs, fireworks.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Tickets at cleguardians.com. Now the 1-0 to Khalil Watson. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: he cuts and misses. He tried to hammer one to right.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: He's got that kind of power. He was a middle
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: infielder when he came up with Miami. Never got to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the Marlins but coming up in their farm system and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: last year Cleveland moved him to the outfield. Now the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: 1-1 pitch in there.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: 1-2 and.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Watson's a guy that can play all three outfield spots.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: He's a terrific athlete, good defensively, but primarily now he's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: going to play right field. The 1-2. Strike three called.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Watson out looking. Second strikeout for Rahm. One down. That'll
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: bring up catcher Austin Hedges. He's 0 for 3. Hunter
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Gattis is going to be working the bottom of the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: eighth for Cleveland. Four to two, Guardians. They throw to first.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And Kwon back standing. Now the set. The delivery, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it's at the knees, a called strike. Milwaukee and Cleveland,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: two of the best-run, best-owned franchises in all of baseball.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: The 0-1, strike two. They do more with less. These
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: two franchises and what they have done for the last decade.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Every summer, relevant baseball on the shores of Lake Michigan
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and on the shores of Lake Erie. That pitch is high.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Buck called on Rahm. And a second goes Stephen Kwan.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Not sure Rahm came set. It was almost like he
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: was quick pitching. I don't know that he came to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a complete set. So, big run out there at second.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Cleveland with a 4-2 lead. The two strike pitch to Hedges.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Swing and a foul back will do it again. Over 36,000.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The roof partially open. A sun-drenched Thursday in Wisconsin. The pitch.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: High.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: 1-2.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Cleveland's lost 8-11. Milwaukee's won 8-11. Cleveland today. with its
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: first lead in the series. Now the pitch.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: High.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Ball two, two and two. Now the two-two.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Two.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Swing and a pop-up. Shallow right. Terang is out. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the second baseman retires Hedges. Kwon back to second. Two down.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee feels like this might be as good a chance
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: as they have had to get back to the World Series.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Their only visit to the fall classic, Harvey's Wallbangers. Back
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in 1982 featuring Hall of Famers Robin Yount. Paul Molitor,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Ted Simmons, Raleigh Fingers, and many other great players. Here's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Travis Bazzana. Takes down and away, ball one. The problem
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for Milwaukee, they run into the big spenders as well. Dodgers, Phillies, Braves. Bazzana.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: A blast into the second deck and right is last
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: time up. He takes it slow. It got away from Sanchez. Boy,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: he has had numerous balls bang off his glove today.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: We'll see how that has scored. Kwon going to third.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It was a wild pitch, but instead of trying to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: block it with his chest, Sanchez tried to backhand it
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: with the ball in the middle of his body. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: see if that wild pitch does any damage. The pitch
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to Bazzana. And it's a touch outside. Brewers out of challenges.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: 3-0 the count. Travis Bazzana today. One for three. A
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: walk in the solo homer to right. Gave Cleveland the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: lead in the seventh. Now the 3-0.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: In there.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Huge run down there at third. And Stephen Kwan started
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the inning with a single. 4-2 Cleveland, eighth inning, two down.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Kwan a huge lead at third. Rahm with his back
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to the runner. The lefties pitch. Checked on a pitch outside.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Bazana has walked twice in Homer. And now Daniel Schneeman
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: with a grand slam last night. Came in as a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: pinch hitter last inning and walked. He will step to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the plate, and here comes the pitching coach. If you
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: missed it before, Chris Hook does all the visits to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the mound, whether it's to chat or make a change.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Pat Murphy is in so much agony, just can't move,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: needing back surgery, hip replacement, knee replacement. Two out, two on,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: 4-2 Cleveland in the eighth. Daniel Schneeman, the batter. Home
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: plate umpire Lance Barksdale, the crew chief, is going out
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: there to break this up. No, evidently he's not. He's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: joining in the conversation. Candlesticks make a nice wedding gift.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: They sure do. Live chicken, they've got to take care
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of that. So staying in the ballgame is Drew Rahm,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: left on left, Daniel Schneeman, the batter. Schneeman bats 273
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: against lefties. Almost 60 points higher than he does against right-handers.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: The pitch. And he cuts and misses. Strike one. First
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and third occupied. Two down. Cleveland on top. Four to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: two in the eighth. The 0-1. And it's a throw
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to first and back standing as Pazana barely off the bag.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: He got picked off back in the fifth inning. Sandy
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Alomar Jr. went over to say something briefly to Travis Pazana. Pazana,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: good base stealer. 11 steals since coming up. The 0-1.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Checked on a pitch wide. Did he go? No.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: 1-1.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: This is also a point where sometimes you see that
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: double steal or a delayed steal by the runner at
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: first trying to draw a throw and enable Kwon to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: score from third. Now the 1-1. Swing and a miss.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Ball was in on Schneeman, but he chased it. And
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the count one and two. Drew Rahm has made 31 pitches,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: 17 strikes, 14 balls. Both clubs have struggled to throw
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: strikes today. Milwaukee has walked eight. Cleveland has walked six.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Now the one-two. Got him swinging. We go to the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: bottom of the eighth. Still a 4-2 Cleveland lead.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: Our yoga instructor challenged us to find inner peace. I
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: found it faster than anyone. After four seconds, I stood
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: up and screamed, I found Nirvana!
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I win!
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: They asked me to leave. I guess they don't respect winning.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: Bet365 does, though. New customers get $ 365 in bonus bets
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: just for betting $ 10.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Namaste, losers.
• 11:12

  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Ron Verb, and I'll be bringing the heat
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: every afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Hunter Gatoson to work for Cleveland. Cleveland with the lead, 4-2.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: We're in the bottom of the eighth inning. Collin Holderman.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Struggled with his command, but by golly, he got out
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of the seventh inning without giving up any runs. Gattis
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to Jake Bowers. One for three, a single. And he
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: pumps one in there, a strike. Holderman, a third of
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a scoreless inning. Walked a batter, hit a batter. Now
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the set, now the 0-1. And it's a little low.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Gattis fastball slider changeup. Hunter Gattis gave up what proved
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to be the game-winning home run here on Tuesday night
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: in the eighth inning to Garrett Mitchell. The right-hander's pitch.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Swing and a foul tip, one and two. Gattis, 24th appearance,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: a win, a save, 4-12 ERA and 11 holds tied
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: for the team lead with Tim Herron. Bowers has been
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: held in check, 1-4-8 in the series. Got that single today.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Now the pitch. A little bit low, 2-2.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: The set.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: The delivery. Ball down low, full count. Parker Messick started,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: went six, gave up two runs on four hits, struck
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: out nine, walked three. Tim Herron, two-thirds of a scoreless frame.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Colin Holderman, a third of a scoreless inning for Colin Holderman.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Now the payoff, ball four in the dirt.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So the tying run to the plate, and Gary Sanchez,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: this is incredible how both these players pitching staffs keep
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: walking the tightrope with all these walks. Eventually it's going
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to get you. Gary Sanchez takes a called strike. Pinch
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: hitter on deck for Milwaukee is the guy that homered
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night off Hunter Gattis. Garrett Mitchell. Gary Sanchez, RBI single,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a walk at ground out. The pitch, a swing and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a miss. I mean, he had one thought in mind.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: To see if he could join Bernie Chalet high above
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the seats and left where there's a mammoth slide that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Andre Knott went flying down earlier this series. That's a
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: brave man to be that high going down that slide.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: The 0-2 pitch. Fouled it back. Now, what helped Andre
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: is he was bear-hugging Bernie the whole way down that slide,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: which is an unusual look, but when you're that high
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and have some fear, why not?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: It was awkward, but Good on Bernie to help Andre
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: get all the way down.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Bernie didn't realize he was going to be put
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in that scenario. The pitch. A swing and a miss.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Gattis got Sanchez for the strikeout. Andre did a great
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: piece on it. And also took Paul Hoynes to the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: very top of this ballpark for one of the many
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: statues of Bob Euchart. Then, of course, Paul Hoynes going
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, rightfully so,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: in July. And Paul learned his journalism talents about 10
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: minutes east of here in downtown Milwaukee at Marquette University.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Here's Garrett Mitchell to pinch hit for Blake Perkins. Left
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: hander batter. Mitchell, with Cleveland up 4-2, takes outside a ball.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Mitchell batting. 254, five homers, 34 RBIs. Now the set,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: now the pitch, swung on, followed upstairs behind the plate.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: One ball, one strike. Mitchell will stay in the game
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of play center. We're in the eighth, 4-2 Cleveland, one out,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: one on. Mitchell open stance deep in the box, the pitch,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and it's in there. Floated a changeup for a called strike.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: It's 1-2. Cleveland had not taken the lead in any
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: game this series until the home run by Travis Bissana
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: in the seventh. The pitch. Got him! Swinging. Tied him
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: up inside with a good slider. Hunter Gattis wins that
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: battle with Mitchell. Two down for Cooper Pratt, the rookie.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, Cade Smith awaits the ninth inning for Cleveland.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Right now, he's baseball's best closer. Two down. Runner at first.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Four to two. Cleveland on top in the eighth. Righty-righty matchup.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: The pitch to the rookie. And it's hit in the air.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Foul out of play to the right. Strike one. Tells
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: you something about Cooper Pratt, Rosie. This is one of
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the best teams in baseball, Milwaukee, with a real chance
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to play in the World Series. And they're entrusting this
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: rookie starting this series to play short.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: That's the key to play short. A marquee position on
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: the diamond.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Three years out of high school. The 0-1. Swing and
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a foul back. You know, I think it's probably surprising
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: if you look how many really good baseball players have
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: come out of the state of Mississippi, like Cooper Pratt.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: More than you might suspect.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: He was ticketed to go to Mississippi, or Ole Miss,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: excuse me.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't make up those two. My bad.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss and Mississippi State. He was going to Oxford
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: and ended up being drafted. And his uncle is the
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: head baseball coach at BYU. Daniel Steeman played for him.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Now the 0-2 pitch. High one and twos. Good baseball family.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: And that may be a reason why he's been able
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: to move so quickly.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I talked to a scout. There are two more
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Prats coming. One in eighth grade, one in high school.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Now the set, now the one-two. Swung on, fouled it upstairs,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: still a one-two count.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Isn't that the status of youth sports? Eighth grade, they're
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: talking about scouting these kids. Well, he has an N-I deal.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: And a castle in Ireland. Now, it tells you how
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: good a baseball family the Prats are.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: The 1-2. Low and away, 2-2. 4-2, Cleveland Brewers batting
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: in the eighth. Runner on, two down. Boy, it just
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: seems like more and more these kids are getting the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: big leagues quicker than ever before. The 2-2 to Pratt.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Fouled it back. Pretty good slider that he fought off.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Still a 2-2 count. Don't you think with what Cleveland's
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: doing with Khalil Watson, Chase DeLauder, Travis Bazana, Parker Messick,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: they're not as young as Pratt, but Watson, a high
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: school kid, coming out of the draft. Again, the 2-2 delivery.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Swung on, line to right. That's a base hit for Pratt.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Stopping at second is Bowers. Boy, that's a good at
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: bat against a guy like Gattis. Tying runs on with
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: two down. Got to believe Joey Ortiz will be lifted
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: for a pinch hitter. And he will be. Milwaukee is
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: going to bring out William Contreras.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: 291 hitter, six homers, 43 RBIs. And manager Stephen Boat,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: he's going to his closer right now. Cade Smith being
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: summoned with two out, two on. We speculated a few
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: innings ago that this could be a multi-inning save opportunity
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: for Cade Smith. It is. He's bent. Perfect since mid-April.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: 4-2 Cleveland. We'll be back.
• 22:36
