Tom time nout for our w. B. Masons delivery of the game. John bryce harper go the changeup. Didnt hit it great, but hit it out of the ball park. This was hit pretty well. The fastball, center cut, a little elevated. Daniel murphy, no doubt about that one. And then jayson werth in the fifth inning. Twoman chase. Breaking ball. Those three balls right there are our w. B. Mason deliveries of the game. Tom the first two, i guess you could say that happens. The last one, i guess, obviously has been the back breaker. John first pitch of the atbat. Breaking ball. Tom here es blake treinen. This is really his first opportunity to be a closer. But i have to say watching him in the seventh and eighth inning in past couple of years for the nationals, hes got closer stuff. John weve gottet a handful of guys that have got closure stuff, but you know, sometimes when you know youre the last line of defense, things in your makeup change. Tom i always remember dan clee sack saying that. When he was told he was the closer, the thing he realized is once he shut that door in the bull pen, it wasnt going to open again unless he was in trouble. John until the next day starter trotted out. Tom until the next day trotter started out, yep. One ball, one strike. John he egot an above average sinker. Its just not. Its coming in. He has to make sure he gets that elevated. Obviously easier said than done. Tom back toward the middle and that will sneak into center, base hit. First hit of the day for rupp. All right. So there is a little bit of life left. Freddy galvis is coming up. John if youre a nationals hitter, youre thinking, wow, i wonder whats going to happen now. Now cameron gets a base hit. Tom a bunt by freddy foul. I dont know if he had control of the bat once the ball hit the bat on that. Thats just to try to get on base. That wasnt to move rupp up in scoring position when youre down three in the ninth inning. John youve got to get a base runner. Tom in the air to right field. No doubt about that one. If it stays fair, it is gone its a onerun game. Freddy galvis with his second home run of the year. Its a 76 ball game. Ben are his hands lightning or what . I mean his hands are flying through the zone. Very handsy swing. Id like for him to follow that thing. Watch how quick he gets the stance to the baseball. Not a big man in stature, but thats a powerful swing and that balls on the inner half. John not an overswing. Thats the beauty of it. Controlled swing. Tom and now aaron altherr. John think about the innings. First and second, no outs. Tom they need one. John this isnt over. 02. Ben youre trying to lay down a bunt for a knock. A swing and a miss. The ball gets away and wieters will throw out altherr. Ive got to say that first pitch that was called a strike to altherr kind of set the tone for that atbat. Close pitch. Weve seen that when they give that on many occasions to the pitcher. All of a sudden youre in the hole. 0 01. Ben yep. Changes the complicity of the atbat. Tom it sure does, particularly after youve given up a home run in a onerun game. John id say thats what freddy is trying to do. Takes a bunt, gets a call. Looks for that fastball and get another one. Tom two balls and no strikes. You see the comparison between the starter and the bull pen. John do you think scherzer definitely did better in the bull pen . Tom i think scherzer did much better in the bull pen. Probably could have done it even longer. Ben this is a huge atbat because with cesars wheels, it can be delivered to home plate. He doesnt deliver like he used to. He might be able to swipe a bag. Tom ball four. Tying run at the board. Mike maddux is on the phone. John ben, youre the catcher. Is it difficult to three to catch ball with a guy whos a heavy sinker . Ben it is. You have to stay back on the ball. You have to reach out and get it. The ball going to have that late movement. You may end up boxes a few more than you actually catch. High pitches are generally easier to throw on. If you get a ball thats thrown, especially with a guy the size of ben wieters, you get your butt over the top of yourself, you end up throwing sinkers to second base. John mike maddux, every time he comes out, left hand on his shoulder and its a hand over the mouth and then the left hand on the shoulder and a pat on the chest. Every time. Hes such a consistent human being. Tom all around in delaware valley, theyre saying, those two guys are still pitching . The theres Howie Kendrick with a runner at first. One ball, no strikes. John he looked like he was trying to get the ball up quicker. Got ahead of himself. Ben in case youre wondering why they didnt retain martin land landon . Im with you. Tom this kid, like you said, he has the stuff. Kendrick was taken all the way there. Evens up the count, 11. John he hits the ball the other way. Do you think hit and run and trying to side step . He doesnt throw strikes enough. Youre asking your hitter to possibly sweing at a bad pitch. Tom that one out toward right center field. Har harper is there. He makes the catch. Coming if on the hands, it looks like, with kendricks. Now its odubel herrera. They were 70, climbed all the way back to within one. You look at that around thats a great sign. If they could get it rolling a little earlier. Get this offense, keep it going. They have nine hits today. John im with you, tom. No matter how it ends up, its nice that theyre showing a lot of fight despite being down against a max scherzer. Thats why you get 27 outs. Tom inside, 10. A ball o the gap. Ball to the corner. Weve got action with cesar leading off first. Now time is called. John even with two outs, you know, Ryan Zimmerman holds cesar on. You watch him coming off the base. Hes trying not to come that far. He knows odubel will handle somethi something. Tom one ball, one strike. Ben how about a walkoff . John dont threaten me with a good time. Tom it would be a nice way to wrap down opening day. Ben lefties like it down and in but i dont know if they a like it that down and in. John murphys away in the hole, second basic and trea turner is over there on the left shortstop side of second base. Growner, routine scored. Just gets through. He has to hit it first, right . Tom earlier in ball game he hit it. Murphy wasnt shaded as far over. One ball and two strikes to herrera. Tom over to right side. That will do it. The phillies lose their home opener by a final score of 76 as the nationals bull pen does wind up surviving. Well, the phils were down 70 at one point, but after scoring six runs, they were retired here in ninth inning and the nats take game one of this threegame series. Our chevrolet player of the game. You could pick a handful of guys, but max scherzer really was dominant for the nationals. John he was ready good. Had all of them working. The fastball, the slider, the changeup. Great play by sty stimmerman on freddy. Rarely did he throw anything. He hit in the corners, up, down, the strike zone. Thats why hes the chevrolet player of the game. The nationals win 76 over the phillies. Well be back to citizens ball park after this. Final score this afternoon at sit zeps bank park, its the nationals, and the phillies, 6. Max scherzer goes 6 2 3. Blake tried to give up two in the ninth but he earned a save for the nats. Its his third of the year. Velasquez, ten strikeouts. In fact, if phillies had 17 strikeouts. Our next telecast will be tomorrow. Game two. Aaron nola will be pitching for the phils on nbc 10. It begins at 30 on csn. For our producers and directors and now for john kroft, dave murphy and our entire crew im tom mccarthy. Phillies lose it, 76. You can watch the postgame live on phillies. Com.
