  Speaker 1: Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Bet365 Guardians warm-up show
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: tonight from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. It's the Guardians
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia Phillies, game one of this three-game series.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Jim Rosenhouse along with you. Guardians looking to stay hot,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: one of the hottest clubs in baseball as they've won
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: six in a row now. after sweeping the Detroit Tigers
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in a four-game series. Now it's on to face the Phillies,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: who are red hot. The Phillies, who began the year 9-19,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: are back to the 500 mark. And while they are
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: 9-1⁄2 out in the NL East, they are certainly figuring
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to be a team to contend with for the remainder
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of the season. Guardians coming in in first place in
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the AL Central, 3-1⁄2 up now on the second-place White Sox.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned. We'll have more to come after this. Welcome
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: back to Guardian's Warm-Up. It's time for the weekly farm
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: report with Stephen Oster, the Vice President of Player Development.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And we go to the lowest level of full-season baseball
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: in the Guardian's farm system, Carolina League. the Hill City
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Howlers based out of Lynchburg, Virginia. And, Asti, I know
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it's always a fun level because a lot of these
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: players are going through that first full season for the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: first time. But the first player I wanted to talk
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: about was someone we saw quite a bit in spring training,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: especially toward the tail end, Dari Fernandez, who looks like
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: he's off to a real nice start both at the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: plate and in the field.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning, Rosie.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: The Hill City group, to your point, has got a
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: lot of energy. It's been a week there, and they're
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: really fun to watch, the young guys. But Dar is
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: one of those players who's young. He's really talented. He's
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: a switch-hitting infielder who's played a lot of his time
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: last year in the Arizona Complex level and got a
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: small taste of the affiliate life last year when winning
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: that championship and you know, he's.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: He's a really interesting profile offensively.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: He's got really strong bat to ball skills, but is
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: also aggressive in zone and, and out of zone tends
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to chase pitches sometimes, but still remains really productive at
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the plate. So there's been a lot of work, you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: cleaning up the swing decisions, getting him to understand and
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: stay within more of his like targeted swing zones.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And that's been a strong emphasis to start the year.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And You know, he's really gifted as an athlete and
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: spends a lot of his time on the left side
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: of the infield, but he's pretty much handled everyday shortstop
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: duties with an injury the last few weeks for one
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: of our other infielders. He's got a plus arm strength
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: He's a strong and accurate thrower. He's got good.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Actions and presence at the position, and he's developing really
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: well there. So it's been exciting to see him get
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: a lot more of those playing reps at shortstop. And
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: like a lot of these young players, There's just a
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: huge tie-in to the physical development like we've talked about
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: and how that fits to just the long-term view of
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: what he could be. We're looking to continue to build
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: off of a really good offseason where we saw him
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: tack on some strength and power and muscle mass.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: There's still some frame to go and some work to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: be done there.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: We think that'll translate long-term to more power and punch offensively,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: but handling the position really well right now and doing
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of good things.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: He's just a fun one to watch.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We'll take a timeout and then talk pitching at Hill
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: City when we return after this.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Here's the Bet365 Minute, where winning is everything, with Scott Davidson.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Let's check out the numbers tonight. The Guardians are hot,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: but they're a big underdog tonight. Philadelphia minus 185. Low total,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: it's six.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And a half.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: And let's keep this red hot run going here. Let's
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: give you another winner on a money line play. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: like the Red Sox over the Twins tonight. Now it's
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: rising star Peyton Tolley on the hill. He goes against
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: another rising star, and that is Connor Prelip, but Prelip
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: gets no run support. He's kind of like Tanner Bybee.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: And the big deciding factor for me here is that
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Boston is currently the best team in the majors.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: At hitting lefties.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: So we get two good pitchers and one team that
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: just crushes left-handed pitching. The Red Sox are coming off
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: a sweep in KC.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I like them.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Tonight on the Moneyline. Now you can join me when
• 4:26

• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's Guardians warm-up. Steven Oster is joining us.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: He's the vice president of player development for the Guardians.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: We're talking about the single-A affiliate in the Carolina League,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the Hill City Howlers. And we'll turn to the mound,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and you have an award winner, a Carolina League award
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: winner for the early portion of the schedule, left-hander Harrison Bodendorf.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And what's Bodendorf done to really stand out in the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: early season?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah it's always fun having an early award and yeah
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Harrison came out and pitched extremely well over the starts
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: that he's made in April and this is a left-handed
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: college arm that we took last year in the draft
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: and he was maybe a tick on the polished side
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: when we took him and you know we thought there's
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of development left to gain and he was
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a performer, strikethrower and yeah, there are some things that
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: we could tap into from a velocity standpoint and, and
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: things that we can kind of build upon.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: As, as we got him. So he's got a unique
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: slot with a fastball.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: It's going to play above its current velocity, which is
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: holding down to maybe in the low nineties. It's, it's
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: more East to West from the, from an arsenal standpoint,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: he's got a really good change up. He's done a
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: phenomenal job of just controlling counts and getting ahead.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: And that's resulted in not really walking anyone.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: And, His stuff has played up because of it, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: he's striking out about 36% of the batters he's facing,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: which is a lot. Again, I think the long-term vision
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: for him here is just hinge on him continuing to
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: gain velocity over time. This is probably more of a
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: slow drip than it is a hurried rush, and we've
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: seen some of that development already. That part is really exciting.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: He's got a big frame.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: He's a big guy.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of room left for growth physically, so
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: We're seeing that upward trajectory to start his professional career,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: and we think that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: We can continue to see that moving forward.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Bodendorf has come out as hot as anyone in that league, obviously,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: and there's a lot to like and build upon for
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: the future.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I know most are a ways away from the major leagues,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but it's exciting to hear about what could be for
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of these guys. Asti, always fun to have
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you along. Thank you.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Rosie.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: That is Stephen Oster, Vice President of Player Development. Stay tuned.

• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Today.
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: Hi again, everybody, with Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: This is Tom Hamilton.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Welcome. It's the Manager Show. It's brought to you by
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Key Bank. Okay, I know you don't look back, but
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: doggone it, can't we for a couple of minutes here?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: That was some kind of four-game series.
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it was, and we could definitely look back. We
• 10:27
  Speaker 12: haven't started tonight yet. What a fun series. I mean,
• 10:32
  Speaker 12: you know, you get a big win Monday night and
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: then three close ones. And, you know, we pitched well.
• 10:37
  Speaker 12: We had timely hitting, some clutch hitting, and some really
• 10:40
  Speaker 12: good defense. And it was just a really, really fun
• 10:43
  Speaker 12: for it. It's hard to win three out of four,
• 10:45
  Speaker 12: let alone sweep, and really fun for our guys.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And again, we haven't even quite gotten to Memorial Day,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: but what does that do for your club? Let's face it,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you two have really become rivals, Cleveland and Detroit, here
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: over the last, if you include this year, three years.
• 11:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I think it's good, especially for our
• 11:03
  Speaker 12: young guys, because they've watched this series between us, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 12: we know the Tigers aren't going anywhere. We know they're
• 11:09
  Speaker 12: going to be back. We know that they're going to
• 11:10
  Speaker 12: get healthy and get better, and So for us to
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: go in there and take four, it's a big swing
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: for us. And just for our guys to know this
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: little stretch we've been on, we're capable of doing this.
• 11:22
  Speaker 12: And that's really powerful going into 111 games left.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: You may not have wanted to diagram the way things
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: went last year for you. But the fact that you
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: were on the other end of it and came from
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: 15.5 back, came from 11 back in September, does that
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: help your club now when you're on the other side
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: or the good side?
• 11:43
  Speaker 12: Again, we're trying not to look at the standings this
• 11:45
  Speaker 12: time of year. We just want to focus on today's
• 11:48
  Speaker 12: game and win today's game. If we can just keep
• 11:51
  Speaker 12: stacking good days, if we can just keep stacking good wins,
• 11:54
  Speaker 12: good well-played games, you're not going to win every game.
• 11:57
  Speaker 12: But we want to play well every day. And if
• 11:58
  Speaker 12: we can continue to stack those days, we're going to
• 12:01
  Speaker 12: like where we end up.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: What do you like best of what you're seeing here
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: over the last two plus weeks?
• 12:06
  Speaker 12: Well, just the quality of bats. You know, obviously we're
• 12:08
  Speaker 12: pitching well. I feel like we never talk about the
• 12:11
  Speaker 12: pitching when it's going well. We don't ever give them
• 12:13
  Speaker 12: the credit. I mean, our starters have been great. The
• 12:16
  Speaker 12: bullpen has been fantastic. And they're getting good defense behind them.
• 12:19
  Speaker 12: They're using their fielders. But the quality of bats, I mean,
• 12:22
  Speaker 12: the walks. We're getting on base. We're touching first. And
• 12:26
  Speaker 12: then we're executing when we get those runners in scoring position.
• 12:29
  Speaker 12: I mean, we've been bunting a lot. We've been hitting
• 12:32
  Speaker 12: some sack flies, getting some RBI ground outs. We're running
• 12:34
  Speaker 12: the bases well. There's just a lot to be happy about,
• 12:36
  Speaker 12: but we have to keep going.
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: This is a more dangerous lineup than a year ago,
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: isn't it?
• 12:41
  Speaker 12: By far, yeah. I mean, just getting some of our
• 12:44
  Speaker 12: younger hitters here and adding people like Hoskins, who gives
• 12:47
  Speaker 12: you a quality at bat every single time, we really
• 12:50
  Speaker 12: feel like this is a very deep lineup. I mean,
• 12:52
  Speaker 12: you see it. Brian Rocchio is one of our best
• 12:54
  Speaker 12: hitters at ninth.
• 12:55
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 12:56
  Speaker 12: Stephen Kwan's hitting seventh for us. I mean, that is
• 12:58
  Speaker 12: a very long lineup.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: This is a whole different animal now.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Phillies in this ballpark, they look like the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Phillies again, don't they?
• 13:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they got off to a slow start. This is
• 13:09
  Speaker 12: one of the best teams in baseball. They have been
• 13:11
  Speaker 12: for the last few years. They still are. It's a
• 13:14
  Speaker 12: really long, deep lineup. They've got three very good starting
• 13:17
  Speaker 12: pitchers are thrown at us in the back end of
• 13:18
  Speaker 12: their bullpens. Pretty good. So we got our work cut
• 13:21
  Speaker 12: out for us. We know that. We came here two
• 13:22
  Speaker 12: years ago and took a series from them. That's our
• 13:25
  Speaker 12: goal this one. Let's win this series too.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: How do you attack a guy like Schwarber? Now he's
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: missed three games because he had a stomach bug, but
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: voter nine home runs in 10 games and he already
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: has 20?
• 13:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, there's a reason he's the only DH
• 13:40
  Speaker 12: left in baseball. I mean, this kid can hit and
• 13:42
  Speaker 12: he always has everywhere he's been, but we just have
• 13:45
  Speaker 12: to make pitches. Every good hitter has holes. They have weaknesses.
• 13:48
  Speaker 12: It's still hard to square the ball up. Just make
• 13:50
  Speaker 12: quality pitches to him and hopefully he pops them up.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: How has Sanchez gotten to 29 consecutive innings without giving
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: up a run? What makes him special?
• 14:00
  Speaker 12: I mean, he's a tough lefty. It's a tough angle.
• 14:02
  Speaker 12: He's got a really good sinker, and his changeup is
• 14:05
  Speaker 12: very hard, and it bites. And any time you've got
• 14:08
  Speaker 12: two really good ground ball pitches like that, it's very
• 14:10
  Speaker 12: similar to Framber that we did. So we've got to
• 14:12
  Speaker 12: hit him in the air. That's the goal again today.
• 14:14
  Speaker 12: Let's see how many fly balls we can hit. We've
• 14:16
  Speaker 12: got to hit it over the infielders' heads.
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: I sense you're excited for this series. Fun to see
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: how you match up, isn't it?
• 14:22
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's always fun. It's fun to come to these
• 14:24

• 15:22
  Speaker 1: He's pitched nine innings and allowed just one run. He'll
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: be opposed by the tough lefty Christopher Sanchez, one of
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the best in baseball, 5-2 this year with an ERA
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of 1.82. He's coming off a shutout against the Pirates

  Speaker 1: on Saturday in which he struck out 13, didn't walk
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a batter. Only time he's faced the Guardians was right
• 15:44

• 22:21
  Speaker 1: From Citizens Bank Park, right near the Delaware River, we
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: greet you tonight from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Game number 53, as
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians and the Philadelphia Phillies are slated to
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: start this game in the rain. The rain continues to fall,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: but right now they have lined the field with And
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: we are starting this game, and if you're wondering, huh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: here's the reason why, this might be the best weather
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: we have the rest of the weekend, what we have
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: right now. The eastern seaboard is getting pounded by cold
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: temperatures and rain, and it's already started here. There's already
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: talk that there could be a day-night doubleheader on Sunday.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Get this, folks. Philly plays Monday afternoon in San Diego.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: How in the world you can make the Phillies play
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: a day-night doubleheader here on Sunday and then play a
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Monday day game in San Diego is another story, but
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: that's already what is being discussed. That's how bad the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: weather forecast is here in Philadelphia. Hi again, everybody. This
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: is Tom Hamilton along with Jim Rosenhouse. We have our
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: good buddy from Baltimore in the booth with us tonight,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Tim Jones, and back at Command Center, Brian Motze. Lineup
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: cards are being exchanged with the men in blue, or
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: in this case tonight, the men in black. Junior Valentine,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the home plate umpire tonight. Jordan Baker, the crew chief
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: at first. Dylan Wilson at second. And Stu Sherwater at third.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: There is absolutely no sign of the grounds crew as
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the tarp is rolled up. in foul territory, and up
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: against the grandstand area down the left field line. So
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: there's no question, we are starting this ballgame in the rain.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Cleveland coming in red hot. They've peeled off six straight wins,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: nine out of ten. Their record now 30-22, and they've
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: opened up a three-and-a-half game lead on the Chicago White
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Sox in the AL Central. In the NL East, right
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: now Atlanta is running away with it. The Braves have
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: a nine-and-a-half game lead on Philadelphia. The Phillies in second
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: place at 25-25. The Braves the only team in the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: National League East that's above.
• 24:57
  Speaker 19: 500.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: And Philly was ten games under.
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: 500.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Fired their manager, and they have clawed their way back
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to the break-even mark. Here at Citizens Bank Park, this
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: is one of the great baseball parks in all of baseball. Normally,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: it's as an electric and atmosphere as any park in baseball.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: When you talk about electric atmospheres, you're two top ballparks
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: when you get a consensus from most baseball people are
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: San Diego and Philadelphia when it comes to electricity, sellout crowds,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: fan engagement. Those two seem to be at the top
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of the leaderboard. We're not going to have that kind
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: of an atmosphere here tonight because even though they were
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: expecting mostly sellout crowds this Memorial weekend, the rain is
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: keeping a lot of people away. As the Phillies take
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the field in the rain in their City Connect jerseys.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And to say they're unique would be an understatement. They
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: have some kind of shade of blue for half the jersey.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And then they've got a darker blue below it. Black pants,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: some white trim, some yellow trim.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: It..
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: It's unique. Cleveland's in their road gray uniforms with the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: navy blue and the red trim. Here at Citizens Bank Park.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: This park opened up in 2004. The dimensions read like this.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: 330 down the right field line. It is 369 to
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: right center. 401 to dead center.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: It is..
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: 374 to the gap in left center, and then 329
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: down the left field line. The wall, well, in right
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and right center, it's 13 feet 3 inches. Straightaway center,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it's just 6 feet high. Then in parts of left field,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: it's 10 1⁄2 feet high up to 19 feet high
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: just to the left of straightaway center. A ballpark that
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: seats nearly 43,000, and normally most of those seats are filled.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: They've got the dark blue seats in this beautiful ballpark.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: It's in essence a three-deck affair. You've got the upper
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: deck that does have a bit of a divide to it,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: but the three decks start in the left field corner,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: work their way around the home plate, down the right
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: field line, out into right center, and then two decks
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: succeeding out in left and left center. One of the
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: best pitchers in baseball this season on the hill tonight
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: for Philly. His name? Christopher Sanchez. He comes in here
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: having pitched 29 and two-thirds consecutive scoreless innings. 6'6, 202, 29.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Mid-90s sinker, slider change. Aniel Martinez leads off tonight's first pitch.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Up high, ball one. Underway in Philadelphia. 58 degrees, the
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: game time temp. Sanchez from the third base side of
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the rubber delivers, and it's inside corner, a delayed call,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and it evens the count at one ball and one strike.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez. The wind and pitch to Martinez, and he
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: foul tips it into the catcher's mitt. One ball, two strikes.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Angel Martinez batting. 256, nine homers, 26 RBIs. Cleveland with
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: a lineup tonight that has six right-handed bats in it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: The pitch, swing, and a miss. Got him to chase
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: down and in. And Sanchez with a strikeout on a
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: changeup to start tonight's ballgame. And his changeup, about as
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: good as any changeup in the game. He throws his
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: changeup 38% of the time, and teams are batting 148
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: off that changeup. Jose Ramirez in the two-hole. He'll bat right-handed.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: The wind-end pitch, and it's swung on, drilled. a left field.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Marsh reaches up, makes the catch just before he got
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to the track. Hard hit, but out number two. Brandon
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Marsh is in left. Justin Crawford's in center. And Adolis
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Garcia in right. On the dirt, Bryce Harper. At first,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Bryson Stott at second. Trey Turner at short, Alec Bohm
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: at third, and J.T. Riamuto the catcher. Nice hand for
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the longtime Philadelphia Philly. Reese Hoskins stepping in. Two outs,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: no score, first inning. And he checks on a pitch
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: down and in, and he went around on the appeal,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: chased the slider. Reese Hoskins spent six years here in Philadelphia,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: had some of his best years. He takes outside a ball,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: another changeup, and that'll even the count at 1-1. This
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: is about as good a hitter's park as there is
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: in the game, but tonight, cold, rainy, 58 degrees, bit
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: of a breeze from the right field to left field corner.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: The next pitch, waved at, and the count now quickly
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: goes to a ball and two strikes. Sanchez comes in
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: a record of 5-2, best ERA in the National League, 182.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Now the kick and the 1-2 pitch. Swing and a miss,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: struck him out on a changeup. And so he's now
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: gone 30 and two-thirds consecutive innings without giving up a
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: run as the Guardians go in order and the Phillies
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: come to bat.

  Speaker 1: Reese Hoskins, he's at first. Travis Pazana at second. Brian
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Rocchio at short. Jose Ramirez at third. Austin Hedges catching.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Here's Kyle Schwarber back in the lineup. The DH takes
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: a heater strike. Gavin Williams, 6'6, 250, 26 years of age,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: mid to upper 90s, fastball sinker, cutter, plus the curve
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: and slider. The wind and the pitch to Schwarberg. And
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: it moves his back foot down and in one and one.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Schwarber had a stomach bug. Knocked him out of the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Phillies lineup for three games. They had yesterday off, but
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: he missed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. What a start for the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Ohio native. The pitch. And he cuts and misses. That
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: was a good looking breaking ball. One and two to count.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Schwarber with nine home runs recently in an eight-game stretch.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Now the 1-2. Down low, 2-2. You know who else
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: did that? Albert Bell. Back when he should have been
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the American League MVP in 1995. Nine homers in an
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: eight-game stretch. The 2-2. And strike three called. Got him
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: looking at a slider. Schwarber with a slow walk back
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to the first base dugout. And that is out number two.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: That'll bring up Bryce Harper. He has started to heat up, batting. 267,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: a dozen homers, 31 RBIs. Gavin Williams leads the American
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: League and wins with six. He is fourth in strikeouts.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Coming in a 6-3 mark, an ERA of. 367. Now
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the wind and the pitch. And it's swung on, fouled upstairs.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Strike one. Williams in ten starts, no complete games, but
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: six innings to start. He averages 11 strikeouts, three walks
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: per nine innings. Now the kick in the 0-1. A
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: swing and a ground ball toward first by the diving Hoskins.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Into foul ground off that sidewall it kicks. And a
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: double for Bryce Harper, his 10th. He didn't hit it
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: that hard, but he placed it perfectly down that first baseline.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: So he has the two-out double here in the first.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Alec Boehm coming to the plate. Boy, is he on
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: a roll. Alec Boehm. As the right-handed hitting third baseman.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Alec Bohm, the first 35 games of the year, batted
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: 159 with a home run and a 433 OPS. For
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: 35 games. The pitch. And it's in there. Now, Alec Bohm,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: in the last 11 games, batting 405. Four homers, eight
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: extra base hits. Oh, yeah, and an OPS of over 1,200.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: The pitch outside a ball, one and one. This lineup
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: can thump. Now, they got off to a terrible start,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and it cost Rob Thompson his job as manager. Don
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Mattingly is the interim manager for the rest of this season.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: No score, runner at second. Two down in the first.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Williams pitch. Outside. Corner strike. And they count one and two.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: But the Phillies were nine and 19. And that's when
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski fired Rob Thompson. Under Don Mattingly, the club
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: 16 and six. Down to one, two. Checked on a
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: breaking ball away. Two and two. That's that hard slider.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Philly at one point in April lost 10 in a row.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: It's just hard to fathom a club this good could
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: lose 10 in a row. Now the 2-2. And it
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: missed down low, threw him another curveball. Don't count. The
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: thing you have to be careful of here is you
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: don't nibble and get too careful or you can really
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: play into their hands. When you've got rust to bust,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: use PB Blaster, Cleveland original since 1957. PB Blaster, work
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: it like a pro. A look back at second. The payoff.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Swing and a miss. Gavin Williams strikes out a pair
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: after one in the city of brotherly love. We are
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: scoreless on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 39:07
  Speaker 18: News Radio 570 WKBN Youngstown.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: David Frye DH-ing hitting cleanup tonight. An 0-for-13 slide leads
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: off the second no score. The left-hander Christopher Sanchez delivers.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: And it's inside corner strike. Sanchez was the runner-up to
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Paul Skeens last year for the National League Cy Young
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Award fact he got every second place vote now the
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: 0-1 Swung and ripped into left. There's a base hit.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: David Fry breaks that 0 for 13. That'll bring up
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Travis Pazana. Left on left. Now, if you're wondering about
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: lefties against the lefty, Sanchez has a 145 batting average
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: against him when he faces a left-handed hitter. In other words,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: good luck. No score second inning. The set. The pitch.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: And a punt attempt missed. Strike one. Travis Bazzano batting 288.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: A couple of homers. Nine RBIs. A 409 on-base percentage.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: First four innings. It's the Conrad score four. Win four
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: new tires. Contestant tonight, Dana Gaudio of Highland Heights. Now
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: the 0-1. Lozano waves at the slider, 0-2. So Dana
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Gaudio trying to win the four Bridgestone tires thanks to
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Conrad's Tire Express and Total Car Care. Visit econrads.com to enter.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Not a great night to try to win tires against
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: this guy. Now the 0-2 from Sanchez to Lozano. Down
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: and away, yank the slider, one ball, two strikes. A
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: 5-2 record, a 182 ERA, 11 strikeouts, two walks per nine,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: and coming off a complete game shutout five days ago
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. The pitch, swung on a chopper to first.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Harper in on the grass, goes to second one. That's
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: all they'll get. So David Fry forced out. Lozano with
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: seven steals, caught one time, is on at first. One down,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: second inning. No score. Boy, his shutout five days ago
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh was magnificent. One, he only made 108 pitches
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: in the complete game, six-hit shutout. Struck out 13 and
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: didn't walk a batter. Now the pitch to Brian Rocchio,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: batting right-handed, leans him back for ball one. Switch hitting
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: shortstop moved up from ninth to sixth because Petey Halpin's
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: in the lineup tonight. He'll bat ninth. De Lauder, Schneeman, Manzardo,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Bailey getting the night off, at least at the outset.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Toss over to first and back standing easily is Bozzana.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Normally when Tampa Bay calls you and says, hey, we'd
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: like to trade you a pitcher, you immediately hang up
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Thankfully for Philly, they did not. The pitch. And it's
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: in there to even the count. Look, Tampa Bay knows
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: as much about pitching as any organization in the game.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: So if they want to trade a pitcher, you go, hmm,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with them? They traded this guy to Philly
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: for Curtis Meade. Great trade for Philly. Hazana dancing off first.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: The pitch down low, two and one. I mean, you
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: can't make a better trade than that one. And that
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: happened in November of 2019. This is the seventh year
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: for Christopher Sanchez here in Philly. The pitch down low.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: And you wonder, is Pazanas dancing off the bag, distracting
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez? Because now he's 3-1. On the batter, Brian Rocchio,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: and Sanchez averages less than two walks per nine innings. Outfield,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: medium deep, pretty much straight away. Now the pitch. Outside, corner,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: a strike as Rocchio started to toss the bat. Cleveland
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: in the third base dugout, Philly in the first. Full
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: count now. Let's see if Pazana is running. J.T. Riomuto,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: one of the better throwing catchers in the game, but
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: this year not as good. 23% have been caught stealing
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: when he throws. Now the payoff. Pazana stays. Rocio swings
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: through it. Strikeout number three for Sanchez. Two down. That'll
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: bring up Stephen Kwan. Stephen Kwan, since he vacated the
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: leadoff spot in the six games since then, he's had
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: a 480 on-base percentage. Three hits, nine walks. All six games,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Cleveland won. Toss to first. Pazana about a step off
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: the bag. Two down, Bozzana at first, no score second inning.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: It's been raining since the game began here in Philadelphia.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: A light rain, but a bone-chilling rain, 58 degrees and breezy.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: The pitch, Kwon looks, takes a strike. Stephen Kwon's played
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: in nine games against Philly. In those nine games, he's
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: hit two home runs and batted 371. Tough assignment right now.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Left on left against Sanchez. The next pitch. Waved at
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: the slider. Looked like he tried to hammer that one.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe to the Delaware River. 0-2 the count. Christopher Sanchez.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Long and lanky. Hands belt high. Sets. Delivers, runner goes,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: pitch swung on, fouled out of play. Second deck, third
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: base side. Well, this is a case here with two
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: strengths on Kwon. Even if Bozzana gets thrown out, then
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: you've got Kwon leading off the third. No score, we're
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: in the second. Sanchez has faced Cleveland one other time
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: two years ago. Cleveland beat them, scored three in six innings.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: The pitch. Swing and a little weak topper to the
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: grass area at first. Harper just did beat Kwon to
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: the bag. That was close. We go to the bottom
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: of the second. No score at Citizens Bank Park on
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 46:50

• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Up to the best start of his career, left fielder
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Brandon Marsh, a left-handed hitter facing Gavin Williams. Bottom of
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: the second, no score from Philly. Marsh, third in the
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: National League with a. 325 batting mark. Four homers, 22 RBIs.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: The wind and pitch from Gavin Williams. And it's swung
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: on and missed. Strike one. When the Guardians win, your
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Northeast Ohio Ford dealers donate $ 500 to Cleveland Guardians charities
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: for youth sports in Cleveland. The pitch. A swing and
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: a foul at the plate. 0-2. Gavin Williams. His last outing.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Five days to go against the Reds. Went six innings.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Gave up two runs to get the win. Struck out seven.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Didn't walk anybody. Off to a tremendous start. The pitch.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Up high. One ball, two strikes. Gavin Williams now has
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: gone six innings or more in six straight starts. The 1-2.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Swing and a miss. Got him to chase that backdoor slider.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Third strikeout for Williams. Marsh out number one. Here's Adolis Garcia.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Saw a lot of him with Texas. The last Cleveland
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: pitcher to go seven straight starts of six innings or more.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Go back to Cy Young winner Shane Bieber four years ago.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: The pitch. Outside and low a ball. And Cleveland got
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: really good starting pitching in Motown. So while the bullpen
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: was still used, the length the starters are now going
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: really helping out. That pitch is right on the inside edge. Boy,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: he is pounding the corners in the upper 90s. It
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: was a 97-mile-an-hour sinker. No score. The kick and delivery.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Swing and a foul down the right side. One and
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: two to count. Gavin Williams has not pitched nearly as
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: well on the road. ERA of two and a half
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: at home and just about five on the road. Well, boy,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: he looks dominant early here tonight. Now the one-two. Swung on,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: a weak bouncing ball to third. Ramirez charges, gloves from
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: the grass, couldn't get anything on the throw. Kind of
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: squirted out of his hands. Might be because it's a
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: wet ball with the rain. You hit it in on
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: the grass, that'll be an infield hit for Garcia. That'll
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: bring up Bryson Stott. Left-handed hitting, second baseman. Bryson Stott hitting. 229,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: five homers, 23 RBIs. Oh, they're not giving Garcia a single.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: They're charging Ramirez with an error. I don't know if
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: he gets him even if the ball hadn't squirted out
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: of his hands. The pitch swung on rip. Fairly deep right,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: but right there's Martinez to snag it. That is out
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: number two. So, two down. Runner at first. And the catcher, J.T. Riomuto.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Off to a slow start. Riomuto, right-handed batter. Hitting. 212
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: with a homer. Eight RBIs. Two down. Runner at first.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: No score. Second inning from Philadelphia. The set and delivery.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: A swing and a high. Chopper to short. Chest high
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: hop handle by Rocchio. Flips to second for the inning
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: ending force. And Gavin Williams looks as good tonight as
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: he has all year. And he's been good all year.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: No score after two.
