It too. John the one thing that is a mystery to me, the hitter has gloves and pine tar on his back, and to your point, hitters dont really complain, they want to know that the pitcher knows where the ball is going. In the argument i have heard from other people who really have never pitched and dont understand, that doesnt create movement. It just creates grip to where you can throw the proper pitch that is needed. Nonetheless, you know what we are getting closer to . We are getting closer to the japanesestyle of baseball that comes with the tackiness on it, thats we where we are getting closer to. I dont understand why we never have had that in our game yet. The old days where the umpires used to rope up the baseballs with the Mississippi River mod. They dont do that anymore. The clubhouse kids do it. But literally out of the package in japan. They are t understand, try to get the tent or color of the baseball changed so it is not so white and there for you wouldnt really have to have that problem anymore. Joe interesting. These baseballs, out of the box, they could wrapped up with mud so there is some grip. Fair ball, throw to second for the out. Gregorius wasnt really on the bag, so instead of trying to turn two, just laid the glove and the hand down, tagged contreras for outnumbered two. Good, aggressive play for sanchez leading by 8. John you could see gregorius didnt really know where it was there, god coughed and mark off guard. Got caught off guard. Making sure hes not going joe and now baez will be the hitter. Series, exceed the arm strength of gary sanchez. He can bring wing it. Two good young catchers on display between sanchez and contreras. Great arms. Here is a pitch down from ball one to baez. John if you really think about it, the yankees went and got brian mccann, signed him to a longterm deal, but the emergence of sanchez . Mccann is now in houston. They are seeing this guys ability to play defense and hit a lot of games. Of course, the dh, im sure hell spend some of those days in the dh. But last year ive never seen anybody throw themselves in competition and year and half a season. Joe his august was insane. Ended with 20 home runs in 53 games. Now the second, the headliner is the guy standing out in right, aaron judge. They have got greg bird, on the disabled list with a broom bruise in his ankle, had an unbelievable spring training but hasnt been healthy as the count goes 31 now on baez. Bird hit eight home runs during the spring, missed all of last year with shoulder surgery but was impressive when he got the chance look out. Dangerous foul ball, and miraculously, nobody was hurt. John wow. That hit her arm. Joe blistered into the seats. John wow. Joe runner at first will go. Three balls, two strikes on baez. Szczur. That tear down the left field line, baez will dig for a second and now hold, a run is in, and 114 game, hit the ball hard place. Tenth rbi of and third again with two out. John see how he coils and on coils, tremendous power, ability out of baez, cut down on strikeouts. Joe bring in a Miguel Montero, who is really off to a good start in a lot of different ways. Not only has he had a nice beginning to the year with his three home runs, his. 385 average, but he and his wife both became u. S. Citizens this past week, a big swing and dimmers, one ball, one pitch, rather, and one strike. That squirts away, baez down to second, almora holding at third with two outs. John baez, by nature, going to be aggressive anyways. His instincts are pretty incredible. As you mentioned, the slide by russell, maybe the aggressiveness there by baez, joe maddon would have liked to have taken a more conservative approach. Joe goes down as a stolen base for javier baez, his second of the year. Montero had one glorious moment last postseason, came in the nlcs against the dodgers when he homered into right. Grand slam a kickball, just into the game, two runs score to make it 116. John i would have ruled this a hit, but that one catches the grass in the infield. Gaps in between there and the ball, just did not play the half as well. Joe goes down as a hit, a couple of rbis, the end of the night for layne. Lefthander is gone, a pitching change in the eighth for the yankees. The lead is now 5.

You see this series, incorporated is about score the cubs bite 6, outhit them by 15, one of the reasons why. Adam warren was a part of the cup championship a year ago. He started the season with chicago. Here is a slider for a strike. Yankees made a couple of deals and got both players back. They traded warren and got castro, god adam warren back in the chapman deal. They traded Aroldis Chapman and got him back as a free agent. Jay hits one into the corner, long run, gardner wont get there, fair ball. Digging for third is montero, a double for jon jay, and the cubs are trying to get back in this game. Ben zobrist will be the hitter. Second and third, two out. John cubs picking down the left field line and right field line. Staying away from gardner. He is probably thinking, my gosh, a lot of room over here that i can cover. Next to that wall is not one of them. Joe by the way, in case you want to know this info, they change the past base a threerun inning, a chance for more, and zobrist takes a ball down and away. Dellin betances is up for the yankees in their pen, and brian duensing, lefthander, or for the cubs in theirs. John certainly not what joe girardi had in mind to get the latter part of his bullpen joe this logo down for joe girardi in the category of never easy. There is some stress left in this one for the tensor manager for the yankees, joe girardi. 21. John everything warren does, good delivery, it seems quicker because he has got that good slider and changeup combo that speeds up his fastball when he does throw it. Joe 21. 22. For the ball game yesterday, Aroldis Chapman got his ring in front of the crowd here at wrigley field, adam warren god his ring and more of a private ceremony, said he wished he had pitched better. He didnt really show how talented he is, but he has found a slider again, started off this season virtually unhittable. Thanks for the ring, going to get the save tonight. Or for the day, which he did. Joe win it without him, period. 22. Fouled back. You and i have talked about it before. But the ninth inning Aroldis Chapman pitched in game seven was as impressive as anything he did all year, go back out there, keep it tight, godly win. John it really was unbelievable. You can imagine all of the air getting out with the emotion, the lead he gave up. Joe strikeout ends the and adam warren comes in, it gives of the devil, gets the strikeout, and we go to the ninth inning on a saturday night wrigley field. 116, yankees on top.

Joe ninth inning now, joe maddon has turned to one of his catchers, Miguel Montero, to pitch. Second time he has pitched in the big leagues, worked last july 3rd, see how long this happening is. 77mileanhour pitch to gary sanchez. John a first for me. Ive got scouting reports for every pitcher, but not on montero. I can only go for his warm up that side of the pitch every single time. Not really able to stay back. Joe not a lot of deception to this delivery. The crowd gets a thrill to see a strike. But it is the classic catcher delivery, right of the year, and these hitters get a good look at the baseball. John this is catcher to catcher the catcher, right . Joe yep. John catcher behind the plate, catcher hitting, catcher on the mound. Joe sanchez has one home run so far this season, two hits in this game, montero threw a strike . No. Leadoff walk. John you certainly can understand why joe maddon you know, you hate it as a manager having to go to this scenario. Joe is this something bobby cox would do . John never d never had a position player pitch. He didnt believe in it and just never did it. Which is amazing, to have that kind of career and never joe gregorius gets out of the way of that pitch from montero. John and for these reasons. Yeah, maybe for the fans the kind of get a kick out of this. The hitters have got nothing to gain at the plate. Joe 20. 30. Duensing was up earlier. John duensing would have been in the game had they scored a couple more rounds, ive got to believe. Still 85run game, i get it. It has been a long week for this bullpen. Good work by felix pena, who went 3 2 3 3 2 3, and rob, who went four. Joe that could be an out. Rizzo, out at second. Montero missed that part of spring training. One on, one out. Gregorius grounds out. John he made this really easy for everybody. You got it. Whoops. No, stay, dont throw. Joe one on, one out, for chase headley. He has had some good swings tonight, but one hit, a two run demo to make double in the first. John turned one over right there. Joe 10 is down again. Nine out of the strike zone, three in end. Now four. Count 21. John [laughs] joe two balls and a strike with a runner at first in a 5running game. Another strike, 22. Up to 81 with the velocity. All right, the crowd is back. John the yankees had a weird game against the orioles where bryan mitchell, who pitched in inning then went to first base that he wasnt familiar with. Joe line drive, out, hard hit by headley. A1 for 594 chase, and a1 a 1 for 5 night four chase. John this is the guy would be nervous about. Just from the standpoint, get him to pull it. Joe you know what chris carter is thinking, only has one, i guarantee you, he is not taking this atbat lately. Monteros 01 pitch. Paul and a [laughs] john asking the home plate umpire, alan porter, where that missed. Joe missed up and away. Here comes the 11. Wide strike, the count 12. Who says complaining doesnt get you pitches in the big leagues. The crowd is loving it. 12. Literally behind him, to second is gregorius. John i would say this got away. Just a bit joe look at monteros reaction. Second big league pitching appearance for Miguel Montero, 80 80 leadoff walk, a line drive out, 22 pitch is not close. Good job by contrariness to keep the count full. John changeup, 68. 32 pitch. That means that Rob Refsnyder will get a chance to hit. Two on, two out, ball one. Contreras with some instruction as he fires it back to the moun mound. 10 pitch. High fly ball into center, back to grab it is almora, and a scoreless inning put up by Miguel Montero cubs, if they come back and get 6, gives them a win. Bottom of the ninth. La. Capicola, niiice.

Put up 11 runs on 14 hits, the cubs, six runs on Ronald Torreyes takes over at second base for new york. War and back to the hill. His first pitch to bryant is in for a strike. Adam warren finished off the eighth inning. Gave up a double to jon jay but struck out zobrist, runners at second and third. That skips in, a ball and a strike, bryant, rizzo, and russell if anybody gets on, contreras. Here comes a 11. Popped up into right. Judge is there for out number one. A hit list night for bryant, 0 for 4 with a walk. Prevailing sponsored by the hartford. And it is aaron hicks with a threerun shot which came in the eighth. Part of his 4hit night against the cubs, second yankee alltime with four against the cubs. Player with a plaque in Monument Park had four hits in the world series. Strike one on rizzo. Rizzo hitless, bryant hitless. Contreras, hitless. 11 the count on rizzo. And that is too tight, a ball and a strike. Yankee is trying to go 194 alltime against the cubs. Here is the 11. Strike two. Severino and lester in the finale of this threegame set tomorrow night here at wrigley. Two out. A pair of strikeouts tonight for rizzo. A pair of strikeouts in the game for warren, one out away from nailing down the yankees 19th win of the year. John warned doing what most of the pitchers would be able to do right now, when the game has totally changed, you ph differently, hit differently, cubs trying to battle back, and the yankees have been really controlling the whole game, take the series with this win for the sweep tomorrow. Joe strike one on russell. Here it is in straightaway center field. The story of the night, five runs in the first inning, the yankees really havent been challenged. Maybe for a moment for the last inning in the eighth, but warren got around for the damage. Our producer, director, associate director, broadcast associate. 11 pitch. Strike two. Meanwhile, the cubs are about to fall under. 500 at home. Start the year 1614 through their first 30 games, 256 through their first 31 a year ago. On their way to 103 wins. Here is a 12 to russell. 22. Winner will be montgomery. He will go to 21. The loser, anderson, he could not get through one inning, about five runs on six hits. 22. Full count. John two pretty good pitches. Joe that caught a piece of the mask of sanchez who got one directly into the center of his ma first game back off the rehab assignment from the disabled list. Was dazed for a moment. Able to answer the bell tonight. Another 32 pitch. Fly ball into right, pretty well. Down the line, slicing into the seats with the wind pushing it that way. Its still useful. John there will be general concern about the cubs rotation. I dont think theres going to be concerned about them in the long haul. But people will start feeling, okay, weve got to turn this thing around. Joe maddon will be patient. You believe in his starters. Jon lester is the right guy on the mound tomorrow after the bullpen has been exhausted to give them some relief. But they are going to have to find a way to get a little better start to their games, the first inning is becoming more than just a joe and the era of 11. 404 the cubs in the first inning. Another 32 pitch. Strikeout ends the game, and the yankees win this 1116. Win this 111 one 116. They have now won 18 of the last 23. It has been impressive in joe girardis young new york yankees team, leading the al east by a game over baltimore in a game that lasted three hours and 19 minutes. So the yankees have won the first two games of this series. We stayed so long from wrigley. For john smoltz, ken rosenthal, i am joe block. Yankees, they win at 116. Kevin, all yours.

The yankees take two in a row, so many good stories, talk about aaron judge in the pregame show, but kind of an underrated part of the lineup. Speaker tonight was a microcosm of what you have seen, and tonight the story was contributions from top to bottom, but you got to go to their second or third hitter. What aaron hicks and Starlin Castro did was phenomenal. [coughing] excuse me speaker that huge home run last night, really getting him going a little bit,s tonight, two runs scored, talk about the struggles they had in the first inning, popped on with five right out of the gate, then off to the races. Aaron hicks looks like Bernie Williams tonight. Spring training, we saw a lot of that. Not only that but the battle outfield. Both of those guys are playing at a
