00:00You want to talk about the best
00:01pitching matchup across Major
00:02League Baseball today it's the
00:04one we're going to see here at
00:04Oracle Park and it's the one
00:06everyone's going to be watching
00:07so we expect a big start from
00:08Chris sale but for Blake's now
00:10he has been good lately on the
00:11hill tonight for the Giants
00:12will be the left handed veteran
00:13Blake Snell 6 4 2 hundred twenty
00:15five pound thirty one year old
00:19and Snell is starting his ninth
00:21year at the big league level
00:22see what he's done so far two
00:23and three with a 4 3 1 era a lot
00:26of that high era we've seen
00:28a lot of that high era was the
00:30way he started the season I mean
00:32he really didn't get off to a
00:33very good start however since
00:34coming off the aisle his last
00:36the second aisle I mean he's
00:37just been almost unhittable.
00:39Well we told you just a little
00:40bit ago how hot Jorge Soler has
00:42been.
00:43Yes he is back at the top of the
00:44lineup foul Richie Pechter
00:49former roadie for the Grateful
00:51Dead it is Grateful Dead night
00:52here at the ballpark.
00:53So Richie Pecker he's got to be
00:54a ball dude.
00:55By the way you see that ball
00:57hit Tom Goodman.
00:59Here's our other ball dude.
01:00Again the three two and that
01:02one is up and it's still a
01:04little wild there and that it
01:06batted Soler will take the free
01:07pass.
01:09The reason you did not see Blake
01:10Snell sign a big contract early
01:12in the offseason was for that
01:14reason right there.
01:14Even though he won the Cy Young
01:16Award command to get away from
01:18him at times and again patience
01:20will be key.
01:21Each base one way or the other
01:22swing and a miss he struck it
01:23out on a high fastball.
01:25Ninety seven miles an hour and
01:27he blew it by him.
01:29A lot of strikeouts with the
01:32fastballs up across the letters
01:34and that's the one he wants to
01:35swing at the one just about six
01:37inches above the strike zone.
01:38One away and here is Marcel
01:40Ozuna.
01:42Ozuna is having a monster year
01:45for the Braves.
01:47Got him.
01:48Zunar doesn't think that was a
01:50strike but it was in the box.
01:52Well it started out high and
01:55he's got it going.
01:57Even a hanger can't lock you up
02:02because it's so late it's so
02:03quick.
02:04Matt very familiar with the Bay
02:06Area six seasons across the Bay
02:08with the Oakland A's from 2016
02:10through twenty twenty one and
02:12Olsen sends it rifling over
02:14toward that Giants dugout that
02:16got a couple of guys backing up
02:18look out and it's look who went
02:24down.
02:24It did hit the screen again
02:26Snell the pitch on the way
02:28straight three Paul on the
02:30outside corner.
02:32Good slider that throws Olsen
02:34and after the leadoff walk he
02:36strikes out three in a row on
02:39the Hill that I for the Atlanta
02:40Braves will be the left handed
02:41veteran Chris Sell sell six six
02:43hundred eighty pounds thirty
02:45five years of age and he is in
02:47his 14th year at the big league
02:49level thirteen and three this
02:51year with a two seven five era.
02:52Look at the strikeouts hundred
02:54sixty five strikeouts against
02:56thirty walks.
02:58Well I mean you always say when
03:00the guy's got great stuff like
03:01sale has and it's great it's
03:03unique because of his arm angle
03:05and his velocity.
03:07Get him early.
03:07Do not get into that two strike
03:09count popped up shallow center
03:12field racing in his Liriano and
03:14now he overruns it and then the
03:18second is Fitzgerald didn't get
03:20a great look at it.
03:21Here he comes in hard and
03:24overruns it.
03:24That's something you do not see
03:26very often.
03:27Has everything to do with the
03:28wind.
03:29The Giants immediately get a big
03:32break.
03:32And here is Mark Canna runner in
03:33second.
03:34Nobody out.
03:35Live live in the center field
03:37Liriano over to his left.
03:38You don't play it on a bounce.
03:39Fitzgerald held up to make sure
03:41that it wasn't caught.
03:43But he goes to third and stops
03:44there.
03:45I really thought Liriano was
03:46going to catch that.
03:47So Chris sale going to have to
03:49buckle down here.
03:49They're at the corners for
03:50Elliott Ramos that went down to
03:53third base line.
03:55He's going to gamble with it and
03:56a gamble pays off and it rolls
03:58foul.
03:59It's good read by Austin Riley.
04:01Also you get to that point when
04:02the ball is hit that slow that
04:04even if you feel that you're
04:05probably not going to have a
04:06play at first base and so you
04:08take that chance and hope that
04:09it is going to continue to go
04:10in the direction that Austin
04:11Riley saw it right there.
04:13Swing and a miss slider gets
04:15Ramos a big first down for Chris
04:17Chris sale.
04:19It's a big one again because he
04:20is so good against lefties but
04:22also that was a tough at bat
04:24clean up hitter Matt Chapman is
04:26the next challenge.
04:27He'll get a beautiful fastball
04:30one up the ladder there back to
04:32back strikeout versus Ramos and
04:33Chapman here's Encarnacion.
04:35Well kind of fitting to start
04:36this game that Blake Snell and
04:38Chris sale have combined for
04:39five strikeouts for the first
04:41five outs of this game.
04:42Two of the best strikeout guys
04:43in Major League Baseball
04:45third.
04:46Riley has it.
04:48What a job by Chris sale to get
04:50out of that jam with no damage
04:53done and we could be settling
04:54into a very nice pitching match
04:56up tonight between sale and
04:58Snell defense kind of not
05:01helping sale out too much early
05:02in this game but he's able to
05:04pitch out of it in the first and
05:05we'll see how he handles this
05:06here.
05:07Yes Patrick Bailey knew it.
05:09You cannot argue that call for
05:11strikeouts now for sale.
05:12A good heater right here and
05:14right at Patrick Bailey who as
05:16we talked about is becoming a
05:17really good player but as a
05:19switch hitter.
05:20Yeah we know Chris is ultimate
05:21competitor and obviously you're
05:24not going to have as much
05:24success as Blake Snell's had
05:26without also being that same way
05:28just cut out of the same cloth
05:30softly rolled a third base.
05:32This time Austin plays it
05:33cleanly throws the first Olsen
05:35squeezes there's out number
05:36three and still works around a
05:38base hit.
05:39Nothing doing for the giant
05:42couple of boos.
05:42Come on.
05:43Solaire I mean he was only here
05:45a few months folks.
05:47That one missed as well.
05:48So two walks for Solaire.
05:50He is the only guy to reach so
05:52far against his former teammate
05:54Blake Snell.
05:55And here's Riley Riley's been
05:57swinging it curve hit to center
05:59and pretty well hit Ramos going
06:01back onto the warning track and
06:03he's under it to make the catch
06:05still scoreless.
06:06They'd love to see hit any time
06:08but especially here in the fifth
06:10inning because of course if you
06:12go over on the app the MLB a bad
06:14app then the fifth inning is
06:15when that no hitter alert goes
06:16out.
06:18We don't want to see that.
06:18No we don't.
06:20Got him.
06:20So you had seven strikeouts for
06:22Snell and here is Laureano who
06:24grounded at the second his first
06:25time curve ball swung out and
06:28missed he struck him out.
06:30Crowd coming alive here at Orca
06:31Park eight strikeouts for Snell
06:34and these first four and two
06:35third innings curve ball struck
06:36him out looking he strikes out
06:39the side and has struck out the
06:40last four in a row.
06:42And nine in the first five
06:45innings sale and Snell have been
06:48as advertised in fact even
06:50better than that if you can
06:50imagine to two line drive caught
06:53by Riley.
06:54No he dropped it picks up from a
06:55knee throws over stretch off the
06:57bag and Olsen got him.
06:59What a play by Riley diving to
07:02his left spot on that knee and
07:05delivered a two hopper over
07:06there to the bag and big Matt
07:08Olsen had that stretch
07:09perfectly and he secures out
07:11number one and that one to the
07:13list frozen pizza.
07:15Patrick Bailey is down looking
07:17both guys in an absolute zone.
07:20Here's Casey Schmidt.
07:23Absolutely smile as intense as
07:26this is you can get a little bit
07:27of a smile after that play.
07:29Incredible.
07:30You watch Snell's pitch count
07:32climb.
07:32He's a ninety three.
07:33So the question becomes whether
07:35or not if he gets through this
07:36right now in the upper 90s with
07:38Dave and let him go back out for
07:39the seven check swing.
07:41No yes strike three ten
07:45strikeouts for Snell in six
07:48innings and no hits allowed.
07:49We've seen a good old fashioned
07:51pitch and do it.
07:51Both guys six shutout innings
07:53ten strikeouts a pair two hits
07:56allowed by sale no hits allowed
07:59by by Snell Ozuna pulls one and
08:02a leaping attempt by Chapman.
08:04He can't catch it.
08:05It's down the left field line
08:06and Marcel Ozuna into second
08:08base with a lead off double.
08:09And it's the first base knock of
08:11the ball game for the Braves.
08:13Just a swinging but and Snell
08:16did everything that he could do
08:18handled it cleanly through to
08:20first cleanly but he couldn't
08:23get him out.
08:24And now you've got a first and
08:26second nobody out situation
08:28after the infield hit.
08:29It is swung on miss strike three
08:31got him with a high fastball
08:34ninety seven miles an hour.
08:35And now it's going to be up to
08:37the Giants bullpen Snell's
08:38getting kudos from everybody on
08:40that Giants infield and now he's
08:42going to get a big ovation.
08:44Now that's now 15 in a row sat
08:46down by Chris Sale.
08:48What a show he's putting on
08:49tonight.
08:50And he's got that look right now
08:52when we've seen it pretty much
08:53all year long from Chris Sale.
08:54But he understands this moment
08:55right here and trying to throw
08:57up one more zero that he is
08:59toast.
09:00He's got that look right now.
09:01He's got that look right now.
09:03He's got that look right now.
09:03And he is toast tip that into
09:06the middle of Encarnacion.
09:08And that's now a dozen
09:09strikeouts for Chris Sale.
09:12And with each strikeout he seems
09:15like he's on a new historic
09:16list.
09:17Snell is done now sale trying to
09:19finish his night here in the
09:20seven popped up over goes
09:23Olsen but he'll run out of room.
09:26No he won't.
09:28The wind brought it back.
09:30And it's another scoreless frame
09:31for Chris Sale.
09:33A remarkable game.
09:34And so here we are still
09:37scoreless.
09:38Just a remarkable pitching
09:40performance by the two starters.
09:42It's only August 12th but it
09:44feels like this game has a lot
09:45of weight to it.
09:47Darno out to right field.
09:49Yes.
09:49Strzybski caught it but the
09:52Braves are going to be on the
09:53board.
09:54Somebody is on the board.
09:55It took us till the 10th inning
09:57but it's one to nothing.
09:58Atlanta.
10:00This has been a tremendous
10:02pitchers duel.
10:03Bullpens have been great and
10:06it's a one nothing Braves lead
10:07with two down in the bottom of
10:08the 10th inning.
10:09Iglesias needs one more out to
10:11left field.
10:12So there charges.
10:15And after the toughest loss of
10:17the season yesterday the Braves
10:20get one of the grittiest wins of
10:21twenty twenty four a one to
10:24nothing ten inning victory.
