Milt Thompson

And, um, that was the best thing about Philadelphia was how welcoming you guys were to me into your home, into your ...

And how Milt Thompson really let me work, you know? And he, you know, he would watch and talk to you guys, whatever.

But the b- the ability to talk, I came from working at a sporting goods store, flipping balls to Johnny, Johnny Sue, to throwing BP to Jayson Werth in Chase Field, uh, in a two-day, in a two-day period.

And just the opportunity to talk hitting with you guys, to learn, to continue to grow and learn every day about the game, about hitting, about your routine, Ryan's routine, Jimmy's routine.

Like, "What do you see?" The feedback that I would get from you would be more important than any feedback that I could look and, and even get for myself sometimes.

I trusted, I trusted what you told me as much as I would go watch video and I trust myself, right? Hitting coaches are great.

Milt Thompson, you mentioned Milt Thompson.

You know, Rick Schu in Washington.

Dana Demuth at first, Paul Runge at second, Bob Engel at third.

[bat hits ball] Milt Thompson whacks one to Mazzilli, nice backhand play, shovels to Leach, and they get the out.

[crowd cheering]

If you are wondering why Keith Hernandez is not playing-

Use about 85% of the hip action, and that will mean that 100% of your hands will be able to come through and get acceleration through the ball, and you can see that left hip, not really pivoting on the left, but the right hip coming in and really throwing a charge into the ball with those hands.

Rawley's now allowed seven hits in three and a third.

Here comes Milt Thompson to make the catch on Santana's drive for the second out.

Just to complete the earlier thought, the point is not that every new vacancy must be filled by a minority, but only that as time goes by in the next few years, some representative portion of the openings are filled by minorities.

Gary with five RBIs and a home run last night.

High flyball into left center field, Milt Thompson and Gary Reedus, and it will be Reedus.

[cheering] Two down, one to nothing in favor of the Mets, and Gary Carter coming up.

Carter is one of those ball players, and there aren't very many.

The IBM Personal Computer AT, for advanced technology.

Here are the way Philadelphia stacks up for today.

Gary Reedus opens up in left field, and Milt Thompson will be the center fielder looking for his first hit of the year.

Juan Samuel at second, and Mike Schmidt moved over to first.

And that's what we want.

We wanna make it spontaneous, and I'll give you a perfect example, and I hope this, again, Milt Thompson.

We both know Milt-

Yeah

Here are the vi- uh, batting orders now for Atlanta.

Leading off in left field will be Milt Thompson.

Glenn Hubbard batting second, playing second base.

Dale Murphy will be in center field.

Thank you, Jerry.

Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good evening to you, wherever you may be.

Milt Thompson to start it off, followed by Glenn Hubbard and then Dale Murphy.

And the tale of two cities continues.

This will be his 100th career start, and he's got pretty good numbers.

There's a chopper up the middle, but Sachs near the bag is there, and that takes care of Milt Thompson.

Well, Thompson retired by sacks on a good play.

One out, and Luis Aguayo coming up.

Joe and I looking forward to be at Riverfront to see Eric and Dave Parker and the rest of the Reds.

Others will see the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Ball one to Milt Thompson.

We had a little...

Okay, Andy, the Phillies will go with Von Hayes at first base, Juan Samuel at second, Steve Jeltz at shortstop, and Mike Schmidt at third base.

Left fielder, Chris James, center fielder, Milt Thompson, right fielder is Glenn Wilson.

Behind the plate, Lance Parrish, and on the mound, uh, the guy Andy and I were just talking about, the right-hander, Fred Tolliver.

You looked at Freddy's numbers at Maine, and here's the Cub lineup tonight.

Tolliver made a good turn around third base too.

He came into third hard, came around third just in case there was any fumbling of the ball at first, and then of course stayed there when the play was made cleanly.

So it's Milt Thompson, the batter, who grounded out to second base in his only trip, and the Phillies have the tying run at third base with two outs.

Ball one to Thompson.

[bat hits ball] High fly ball into left center field.

Milt Thompson and Gary Redus, and it will be Redus.

[crowd cheers] Two down, one to nothing in favor of the Mets, and Gary Carter coming up.

Carter is one of those ball players, and there aren't very many.

A run on a hit, an error, nobody left, and it is one-nothing Mets at the end of a half an inning.

Here are the way Philadelphia stacks up for today.

Gary Redus opens up in left field, and Milt Thompson will be the center fielder looking for his first hit of the year.

Juan Samuel at second, and Mike Schmidt moved over to first.
