>> tim: mike matheny already out of the dugout saying we went out of the baseline to avoid the tag and all the players are saying the same thing. a bril meant play by jon jay with the backhand right on the ground. blanco had gone around second base. now allen craig and everybody on the card infield are saying that he is out of the baseline, and now first base umpire, miller, will get help from gibson. >> meanwhile craig is saying he tagged him, and looked like he got him on the back. >> tim: he did. >> joe: we will get a conference now with the umpires. and he got him on the back. >> tim: he clearly did. >> joe: it should be a double play. miller had a great view of it, but didn't see it. and if somebody else saw something different, then they will call him out. if not, it will be one on, one out. and nobody saw it. >> tim: of course, that is not reviewable. mike matheny arguing, but bill miller -- i beg your pardon, gibson, second base umpire, would have had the best shot at it but he was out in center field making sure that jon jay made the catch, which he did. >> joe: and matheny is still letting bill miller hear it. take a look at the positioning of the umpires. greg gibson, the second base umpire. he stays put. he's right there. and so he didn't see it. and bill miller didn't see it. instead of a double play with jay to allen craig, it's one on, one out, after another fantastic catch by jon jay. cardinal fans are getting used to seeing that. he has blossomed into one of the game's best center fielder, as aubrey huff will come off to bat for affeldt, who threw a perfect eighth. >> tim: not only a fine play by jon jay, but a play on which some outfielders have been hurt jamming that thumb into the ground. that backhand catch right against the ground, very, very difficult for any athlete or outfielder to make. a dangerous play for an outfielder. >> joe: didn't even catch it cleanly. just held it in the edge of his glove and then got that wrist out of the way at then of the dive. >> tim: joe, from that it looked like he had half a hand in his glove and not all the way in. >> joe: we saw him lose his glove on the ball hit by vogelsong in the sixth, and he did not keep that glove on his hand. >> one on, one out. blanco had the big lead. >> tim: there you see right there. you see his wall -- his palm. wearing is halfway on your hand, it gives you a little extra chance on balls like that. popped up. down the left-field line. a long run for freese. that's a fair ball! freese had to navigate around the umpire, jerry layne. holliday wasn't close to it, and freese just let it go. it was a fair ball. >> tim: that ball has got to be caught. aubrey huff, looked to me like when a ball has that much hang time, it's the left fielder's ball. it's much easier making that play for the outfielder coming in than for the infielder going out. >> joe: so a base hit, a single, and now pagan could blow this thing wide open with two on, one out. rookie shelby miller, who could be out of the inning, is still on the mound. pagan has homered tonight. good breaking ball from the 22-year-old. strike 1. here comes an 0-1. the fastball misses. ball 1. what an experience for this kid, 22 years old, called up at the end of the year. and he replaced jaime garcia, the left-handed starter for the cardinals on the active roster when garriucci -- garcia hurt himself in game one of the division series. >> tim: we ran into jaime garcia before the game in the clubhouse, and asked him if he's going for another opinion. and he's going to dr. james andrews on wednesday for a fourth opinion and expects to have that left shoulder have surgery. >> joe: runners at first and second, one out. a breaking ball into left center. a base hit. that will load the bases, as blood pressure did not get a good -- as blanco did not get a good start from second. the second hit of the inning for the giants. >> tim: i think blanco went for the safe play. watch jon jay put the glove up as though he were going to make the catch. blanco did not have a good read. that frees him right there and could only go to third. >> joe: so the bases are loaded with theriot, the right-handed hitter, coming up. rzepczysnki is in the bullpen. right at the top of the hour here in san francisco, a beautiful night, 62 degrees. that's us, joe, tim, kenny and erin at&t park. and this crowd has been loud all night. theriot's second at-bat since taking over for the injured scutaro. good breaking ball for strike 1. on deck, the switch-hitting sandoval with rzepczysnki in the bullpen. here's the 0-1. strike 2. guillermo mota will join romo if this inning gets out of hand. theriot trying to add to it. the 0-2 pitch. breaking ball fouled back. game three, a late afternoon game in st. louis on wednesday. giants trying to even the series. great work tonight from ryan vogelsong, their starter. a breaking ball. fouled away. >> tim: theriot fighting off some good pitches from shelby miller. >> joe: the cardinals are trying to convince him to stay in st. louis during the offseason. chris carpenter will tutor and rosenthal, their hard-throwing right-hander, during the offseason. they want shelby miller to think about doing the same thing. the runners are on with one out and the 0-2 pitch. a line drive, base hit! blanco scores! here comes huff. 7-1! >> tim: that was a good job by the third-base coach, tim flannery, even though aubrey huff had to wave at second base on that line drive because it was close to being caught by pete kozma. he waved him home anyway and david freese cut the ball off. but you can see huff delaying and the throw by holliday was just off-line and cut off by david freese. >> joe: shelby miller knocked out in his second inning of work. rzepczysnki coming in. sands coming up. they are having fun in san francisco, leading by 6. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] introducing the all-new completely re-imagined 2013 chevrolet malibu. sleek new styling... sophisticated dual cockpit design, and sport sculpted seats. available chevrolet mylink infotainment system. the all-new 2013 chevrolet malibu. ♪ refined comfort to get you in a malibu state of mind no matter what state you live in. ♪ ♪ ...mom's smartphone... dad's tablet... or lauren's smartphone... at&t has a plan built to help make families' lives easier. introducing at&t mobile share. one plan lets you share data on up to 10 devices with unlimited talk and text. add a tablet for only $10 per month. at&t. try this... bayer? this isn't just a headache. trust me, this is new bayer migraine.
