Harold the first double he hit down the line, that carlos pena dove for down the first base line, this one he takes the other way, down the corner in left. Covering the whole diamond tonight. Tom bottom four hitters have been on base ten times in this game for the angels. Thats what i meant about the depth. Obviously trout, pujols, hamilton, that gets your attention. But man, they dont need to turn it over to hurt you. Joe batter now is cowgill. When we talked about ron washington, the manager of the rangers who got to the world series in 2010, 2011, and asked him to size up the American League west and what he liked about the top three teams heres a bunt that may have come back and hit cowgill in the face. And it did. Oh, wow. Wow. Harold one of those heat seekers. I dont know if he fouled that off or not. Joe applying pressure on that wound as that looked like skin on the nose just opened up. Harold that was ugly. Joe you could hear the home plate umpire say first base, so theyre saying the ball did not hit the bat. Harold now hes saying it went off the bat. Thats a tough one to argue if youre the opposing manager. Joe sounded like he said first base. But then i heard that too. Harold yeah. Joe thats just hard to watch. And just pouring out. So cowgirl, theyve called it strike one. So that hit off the bat, according to the home plate umpire. And then hit cowgill in the nose. Mike scioscias got to come up with a hitter. Harold yeah, i think whether its a runner on first base or if hes going to have to bunt, with the strike, thats going to determine maybe who he puts in the game right now. Joe scioscias saying it didnt hit the bat, that conger should be at third. But it doesnt appear thats going to stand. Harold how can conger, he cant go anywhere, its off the bat and foul, or its off the bat and its dead. Right . Joe yeah, youre right. Conger standing over at third base, now getting instruction from his third base coach, gary disarcina, go back to second base. We will get Efren Navarro. Take another look. First of all, it was hard to watch the replay. Secondly, just impossible to determine, looking at it, whether that caught the bat or not. Harold yeah. I mean, he did everything right too. He didnt turn all the way around. He pivoted. He was in a good position to get out of the way of the ball. The ball just chased him. Joe so navarro takes over the atbat in an 01 count. Now he gingerly turns around to bunt. Harold yeah, they want to get this guy to third base. Usually plays to a grand slam, doesnt beat you, get the fourth run. So if hes going to have cowgirl bunt, hes going to find a guy who can bunt. Thats why it took a little bit of a decision as to who hes going to bring in. Joe heres the next. Bunt in the air, it will drop untouched behind the plate. Strike two. Little breeze through the ballpark right now on a 97degree night. Thats where we started. Conger with his second straight double on base for the third time tonight. Wind blowing in from right. And Efren Navarro will wait for a 12 pitch from matt west. In and out of the glove of chirinos and the atbat continues. Harold tell you what, cowgi cowgills out for a period of time, thats a big loss. Hes been a vital weapon for them, some left, some right, a matchup against lefthanded pitchers. Particularly in the division theyre in, the lefthanders youre going to have to face. Thats sad. Tom for a while there, looked like they had a really good platoon with calhoun. But calhoun is showing he can hit lefthanders, more of an everyday player. Joe thats up and away from the hardthrowing west. Harold tell you what, we always talk about the hitter being shaken up, because you see the blood dripping and the injury, but it affects the pitcher too when that happens. Joe hes 22 on Efren Navarro. Conger at second with nobody out here in the top of the eighth. Up and away, a full count now. Game started with mikolas on the mound. He went 5 2 3 and then frasor, mendez, west. Both bull pens are quiet at the moment the way jered weaver reacted after getting out of that one on, one out situation in the bottom of the seventh inning, looks like he may go back out there. Thats ball four to navarro and will put runners on at first and second with nobody out. Tom just cant get the ball down. Seen plenty of velocity, but throughout this sequence, the ball just getting up on him. Harold i think this is a good timeout. Hes clearly shaken. I know they might be talking about how theyre going to defend this at first and second, no outs, will they bunt, will they bring the infielders in. But he needs a breather too. Theyve given you an out, throw a strike. Joe pitcher matt west is from the houston area. Drafted in 2007 out of high school as an outfielder. Didnt hit enough, so they converted him into a pitcher in 2011. Underwent tommy johns surgery in 2012 and here he is in the big leagues two years later. Calhoun fouls the first pitch back, strike one. Harold didnt they do a similar thing with martinez . He was an infielder, and then they made him a pitcher. We saw him pitch in detroit. Am i saying it right . Tom Nick Martinez . Harold yeah, same thing. I guess they find an arm and convert it. Joe there he is from houston, texas, 25 years old, and in a jam here in the eighth. Here comes the 01. Ball and a strike. Rangers have gotten to the point where theyve had two different position players have to pitch an inning on the mound to mop up. Their pitching has just been ravaged by injuries. As this drops in for a strike, strike two. Good pitch from matt west. Tom managers used to hate that too. That was a sign of surrender, when you put a position player on the mound, you used to be embarrassed by it, but its become a lot more common. I think its 16 times this year, teams have had to run a position player out there on the mound. Harold i hate it. Bobby cox refused to do it. He felt it was degrading the game of baseball to put a position player on the mound. Joe that is just inside. And the count 22. Calhoun sits in a great position. You see all the fastballs he gets . And then you got albert and josh. You think theyre worried about this guy. Theyll make him swing it. Hes getting a fastball. Joe 22 pitch is fouled off the glove of chirinos. Calhoun had a broken hammet bone in his hand and it changed the way he approached atbats. His hitting style from his hands up high to a little bit lower. And he has done nothing but hit since the end of may. Has not picked up a hit here tonight. Flied to center, struck out, and grounded out and walked. Heres the 22. Might be two. Andrus started it, and they got them both, 643, nicely turned with odor in the middle, two outs. Harold it was a great call, joe, you saw that. That was a tough hop by elvis. This shows the arm strength of this young man. Calhoun can get down the line. Ooh, a snow cone. You see that. Joe almost popped out, but its the second double play turned tonight by the rangers defensively. Tom theres so much traffic around second base. The angels have had so many runners out there. You can see all the divots from the strikes and that baseball caught one of them. Joe so now trout harold its been busy. Joe half of its disappearing. Theres a strike. Trout 1 for 4 tonight. And hitting. 309. Started the night eighth in the league, fourth with two home runs and fifth with 69 rbis. One ball, one strike. This guy doesnt make you feel real comfortable. Harold no, look at that ball run back in on the righthander. And i dont know if hell have the confidence to come back in himself after hitting a guy, and then you go in like that. Joe west trying to get around a leadoff double, followed by a walk. And now two strikes on trout. Harold his target was in, and he missed that target by a foot. Joe 12 the count on trout. Morin is up in the bull pen for the angels. Now the check swing didnt go and even trout is charged up. Tom saw that from miguel cabrera. Miggy loves to do that too. I didnt swing i swear ask the First Base Umpire gets the call. Joe thats quint sagan who will work the plate tomorrow in the finale, a day game before the allstar break. Harold thats some quick thinking. Checkpoint. Joe everything about trout has been quick. His rise to the big leagues, establishing himself as one of the best in the game, as he strikes out looking on a pitch over the outside corner, didnt like the call. 1 for 5 night for trout and west gets around a double and a walk in the eighth. Morin is coming in. Weavers night is finished. Hes looking for his tenth win. Its up to the angels bull pen now as l. A. Leads it by three. From safety. To fuel economy. To quality.

New pitcher for the angels as they lead it by three, bottom of the eighth inning. Efren navarro stays in the game at left after taking over in the atbat for cowgill. And heres mike morin, who is in his 32nd game. Harold i think this is the biggest change in the angels roster. You talked about the offense a lot tonight, tom. Their bull pen was a mess, and theyre done a nice job fixing that. Tom no question. I think Mike Scioscia said it best, hes happy with the team he has. Joe but they still have to look to try to improve, whether its somebody else to anchor that bull pen as a closer, or another starting pitcher. Because you look at the makeup of the angels and the investment they have in this team. Theyre good enough with the right addition, to win the whole thing. Tom id say another starting pitcher. Ideally, a second lefty in the bull pen. Joe beltre, 02. Tom they seem to be happy with joe smith as the closer. Not your prototypical wipeout closer stuff. Harold im kind of with joe on this, though. I know joe smith, but when you get to october, that power plays. And they dont have that guy down there saying forget it. If he was a year or so before the injury, yeah, but hes not that guy right now. Joe theres one of the guys theyve added to remake this bull pen, the lefthander, joe thatcher that they got from arizona. 12 pitch to beltre, jammed a bit, to left, easy play for out number one, hauled in by navarro. Beltre is over three on the night with a walk. Ken rosenthal is downstairs. What does your gut tell you with regard to what the angels might add, if anything before this deadline . Ken they are still looking for bull pen help. They could add a closer, huston street of the padres. They could put joe smith back into a setup role and their bull pen would be that much stronger with the additions of thatcher and grilli. And the other thing would be a top of the rotation starter. Moreno loves big splashes. Im certain hed love to get david price, but theyd have to break up their major league to do that. Joe 20 the count from morin on leonys martin. Harold brings up an interesting point. To break up the major league club, because they have some guys that are coming on, some pieces you like, but, i dont know. Joe 20 the count with one out, nobody on. Thats a strike over the outside corner. Price is obviously the big one out there, if he is indeed moved, as we started play today, tampa bay is 10 1 2 out in the a. L. East. Albeit, a watered down east, about you they just dont have enough. You would have to believe here in 2014, to make that kind of a climb with the offense that they have. Harold they have three windows. This trade deadline, theyve got the winter, and theyve got next years trade deadline. I mean, they do have the rights to david price for a full season next year. Tom and boston too, they have to be in sell mode. Joe reaching out for it, getting it off the end of the bat, late break, but there with plenty of time is kole calhoun. Lets go to kevin for a quick game break. Mr. Mvp, mccutchen, pirates down. Boom, number 16 of the year, were tied. By the way, Aroldis Chapman unavailable. Joe . Joe so good game in cincinnati. And mccutchen has made it a 55 game. Harold i just saw that same swing with the Ken Griffey Jr show. Mccutchen was his guy. What are you looking for . Boom same thing last year, took him deep on a ball away. Almost like watching a rerun. Joe pitch down and in to smolinski. Harold that was mccutchens 12th home run since june 1st. Hes having a better year than he did last year. Joe when he won mvp and part of that great young outfield that the pirates have for not just now, but seemingly for a long time to come, polanco and marte. Harold oh, man, theyre fun to watch. Look out for the bucs. The central and National League is going to be a fun one to watch. Moli molinas injury, that changes that division, big time. Look at that. Bunched up already. The pirates have come back in the fold. Theyre in this thing. Joe heres a 20. M smolinski went around. Harold have you seen the pirates and polanco. Joe ive seen polanco. Hes impressive. Tom theyve been a Different Team since they called him up. Mccutchen saw nothing the first two months of the season. Got a few more pitches to hit. Harold its forced marte to come to the padres, so to speak. Joe heres the 21 pitch, in the air to right, going to his left is calhoun, plenty of room, and three fly ball outs to end the eighth. Ninth inning rolls in here in arlington. Angels will bat still up three. If its fresh brewed, its breakfast. Have breakfast for breakfast. The freshmade, from our kitchen. The egg white delight.

For more information visit fox sports supports. Com. Heres joakim soria, taking over 32nd game of the year. Obviously no save situation, with his team down by three, but maybe an opportunity to show the angels something. Soria with his 16 saves. Deals with albert pujols. Harold show case joe not had a lot of work recently as he misses outside. 32. Harold tough to be a closer when youre 320, last 23. Joe thats where they are. And on the other side, you have the angels on their way to unless a comeback occurs, as pujols flies one into right. One out. Angels are three defensive outs away from their 18th win over their last 22 games. One last chance on a saturday night for the fans to boo Josh Hamilton. Harold you know, i have a hard time with that still. I mean, i get it, he left, he went to the angels and he said, hey, this is more of a football town. But for what he did here for this franchise, to lift them nobodys talking about the rangers. Joe down and in, ball one. It just was so unnecessary to say that on his way out the door, this isnt really a baseball town. Look around here, this was another big crowd here tonight for a team thats lost 20 out of 23. 37,000 people in this park tonight. There are a lot of places that would qualify as not a baseball town, and this isnt one of them. Harold no, youre right. He did bring some flame on himself. Joe just really not well thought out. Tom yeah, the irony is, he helped make this a great baseball town. Im sure he saw the growth in his time here. You think about how the narrative might have been different, the home run he hit in the world series. It looked like that was the cinderella story. Joe yeah. Tom to put these rangers ahead. Joe thats the part of that World Series Game six that people dont remember. Soria makes the play, two outs. The cardinals tied it in the ninth inning, two outs, two strikes, on a tworun triple by david freese. But in the next half inning, Josh Hamilton hit a home run right here. Deep shot into right, back at the track, at the wall, hamilton has gone deep, and its 97, texas, here in the tenth. Joe however, the cardinals chipped away, got two runs to tie it and won it in the 11th. Harold still hard to believe they won that game. Joe impossible to watch it, even having been the guy sitting there. Line drive caught by andrus to rob aybar and a 123 ninth inning for soria. But now hamilton plays for the angels, the red hot angels. Ready to go to the bottom of the ninth inning, leading by three. Thats goohhh. O go right in your glove. See that . Great job. Ok, now lets get ready for the ball. Here it comes. There you go. Good catch. Perfect alright now for the best part. Lets see your pour. Ohhh. Lets get those into the bowl. These are way too good to waste right . Oh yeah. Lets go for it. Around the bowl. Share what you love with who you love. Kelloggs frosted flakes® theyre grrreat tm good catch dad.

And its the starter on the angels, certainly he and joe smith hope will be the winner here tonight. The line for jered weaver, in line for his tenth win of the seas season. He pitched really well on a hot night in arlington. Harold he really did. The key for me watching him pitch we got a great shot of the moon right there. Jered is over the moon, is that the lead . Joe definitely. Harold his movement was incredible. And the ball did not look that big to the ranger hitters. Joe well, heres joe smith, who knew coming into the year that a guy who picked up his first three big league saves last year with cleveland would evolve into the closer and pitch behind
