Bench statue of me sitting on it.
SamHOST
Yeah.
SamHOST
I love when they have a bench with the statue of the guy where he's like.
Vince LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
First four guys, Griffey, .364, Concepcion, .315, Morgan, .322, Foster, .343.
Vince LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Then you get the Johnny Bench and the veterans struggling.
Vince LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So far this year, he is hitting only .208, but he's driven in five runs in his last three ballgames, and he's got a dozen now for the year.
Vince LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Then they have young Arturo De Freitas, who is going to be at first base.
16 MINS LATER
Vince LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And a strike.
Vince LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Three calls.
Vince LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Johnny Bench may have helped Dennis Riccio with that call as he fired the ball down to third base.
Vince LloydSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And Yvonne is caught looking to open up the first inning for the Cubs.
Kevin ThomasHOST
Like that's the kind of guy that when you're over six against Kansas at home, not starting the way that you want to start.
Kevin ThomasHOST
And Tommy Lloyd calls a timeout and you go over to the bench, your head's hanging low.
Kevin ThomasHOST
That's the guy that's going to come over and be like, hey, keep shooting.
Kevin ThomasHOST
You're good.
Kevin ThomasHOST
Hey, you had him.
Kevin ThomasHOST
It just didn't fall.
Kevin ThomasHOST
Like that's the kind of energy you need off the bench, especially in that role that endurance is going to have this year, which is less on court and more on the bench.
Kevin ThomasHOST
Like I think that kind of energy is so, so underrated to your point, Damon.
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, these are the three men that the left-handers, Holtzman and Blue, were able to contain yesterday, and Catfish Hunter must contain today if he is to win for Oakland.
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Johnny Bench, well, Bench had a great day yesterday, but he let off four times, and as everybody knows, The Cincinnati Reds do not win ballgames when they've got Pence as a leadoff hitter.
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's the leading RBI man, and he likes to come up with men on base.
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Pence now being introduced, the rest of the team taking the field.
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Grimsley does have a good fastball.
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It is not as good as Don Gullet, who's scheduled to pitch game number three.
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But Johnny Bench says it's just that far away from being as good.
Jim SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Grimsley may benefit from the fact that he has Jim Honachick, an American League umpire, behind the plate.
Jacob HesterHOST
Wow.
Taylor SharpPANELIST
Live from the Raising Cane's studio, it's Off the Bench.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I can't stand it.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I know you planned it.

speaker_1ADVERTISER
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth.
speaker_9PANELIST
Tigers turn talkers.
speaker_9PANELIST
This is Off the Bench.
speaker_1ADVERTISER
So cut the crap and tell me-
