Kent Tekulve

Stewart, Stoddard, Stamhouse, Martinez and Stone.

Pittsburgh, they have Romo, Jackson, Tekulve, and of course right now, as we look at this game, well, it's gonna be something that's gonna really be super if the pitching holds up.

Let's go to Rex Barney, the public address announcer for the player introduction

introductionYour attention please.

[cheering] Outfielder Mike Easler.

[cheering] Pitcher Jim Bibby.

[cheering] Pitcher Kent Tekulve.

[cheering] Outfielder John Milner.

Yeah, yeah.

And come in sidearm like Kent Tekulve.

And you think he's got a wicked sidearm.

Just at the knees, third strike, bang.

Your closers, your best closers were throwing 90, 100, 110 innings.

Look at Kent Tekulve, right? He was a great closer back in, in the day.

He pitched all those innings every year.

Why? Because that's what they used to do.

His first was off left-hand pitcher Dan Wortham of the Expos on June 2nd.

His second off Kent Tekulve, these Pirates a right-hander, on the 17th of July.

And now he has hit his third home run of the season to put the Mets back out in front.

Bud Harrelson coming up.

They're in the sixth inning in St. Louis now.

Rich Gossage will get up, I believe, along with Grant Jackson.

No, it's going to be Kent Tekulve.

And Grant Jackson getting up.

He's going to be joined there by Stennett, and you're going to get some further activity in the Pittsburgh bullpen.

Left-hander Ken Brett and right-hander Kent Tekulve will begin throwing.

We saw Brett yesterday.

We did not see Tekulve.

Stop in today at Heathkit, just east of Cleveland Avenue at 2500 Morse Road.

[crowd cheering] It's the bottom half of the fifth inning at Riverfront Stadium, and Jim Rooker is out of the ball game by virtue of Robinson hitting for him in the upper half of the inning.

The new Pirate pitcher is the young right-hander from Fairfield, Ohio, Kent Tekulve.

Tekulve joining the Pirates on the 26th of June from the Bucks County Farm Club.

And, uh, he's, that's all he's doing is loosening.

But Kent Tekulve is loosening, and he's in earnest.

Next Thursday night's a big one in the Art Rooney testimonial dinner, and it's a big one.

And they got, uh, Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier and many others coming, and His Eminence Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

Pitch is high, almost through the way.

One ball, one strike.

Candelaria, the left-hander, Kent Tekulve, the right-hander, loosening.

Time called as, uh, we're going to have a little meeting out there.

They lead the Yankees 5-1 after six.

Tekulve started for the Yankees.

Dick Bosman going for Washington.

Two balls, two strikes.

Um, and then, but I mean, I...

Dan Quisenberry and Kent Tekulve are two of the guys that kinda-

Wow, see-

... pop in my head when I was k- a, a kid, and-

And, uh, he's, that's all he's doing is loosening.

But Kent Tekulve is loosening, and he's in earnest.

Next Thursday night's a big one, the Art Rooney testimonial dinner, and it's a big one.

And they got, uh, Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier and many others coming, and His Eminence Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

Swing, foul back.

Tim batting 246, one homer, six runs batted in.

Uh, Candelaria is joining, uh, Kent Tekulve in the bullpen.

Now, Candelaria was up before, and I thought that perhaps he was going to be a pitcher getting ready to start.
