Pitcher

It's one and one.

Pitcher Bob Miller of the New York Mets has fallen on hard times here in the bottom half of the first inning.

Pitcher's outside.

Two and one now to Crandall.

Braves have four runs in here in the bottom half of the first inning to lead by a score of four to one.

One ball and two strikes.

Leninger will not be 22 years old until August.

Pitchers 1 and 2.

Oh, and it makes you struggle out.

Pitcher not even up and away, but Leckie couldn't connect him, and McAuley got struck out number five.

That was a rare ball, I just got to say.

But it's awfully hard to say, the way I do.

Pitcher's going away from the left hander, and he's out.

First run down, nobody on.

Here comes the green tennis.

Like, yeah, it makes your offense better, but he's already passed the 30 year old threshold.

He's going to require a, at the very very least the bare minimum three years and almost guaranteed to be more than that on the market because he's like we're talking about right now second baseman with 30 plus home run power who can do it consistently that's valuable and then it goes to the defense this guy was the worst defensive second baseman in baseball for years and then last year saw a big uptick defensively can you reliably say he's gonna do that again in 2027 do you think his defense is gonna get better again or is it even gonna hang in that realm like there's a lot of question marks and if he doesn't play well defensively then curtis mead slots into second base and he's not a good defender either and you already have trevor story at shortstop and this is a like we've talked about Pitching and defense, very important for this team.

And now your middle infield spots are the two weakest areas.

It's tough to find a good fit that's both great offensively and won't kill you defensively at a big spot.

Out there in Tommy Henrich's old spot.

Pitchers all set.

Man on second.

It's a ball two count on Musial.

Bezos at third base and Delapont at second.

Pitchers getting all ready out there again.

Here's the next pitch to Buddy Lewis.

It's a ball.

Trout goes over and knocks his spikes against the brick wall there.

If you're scoring, Livingston was out at second, Pitcher to shortstop.

It's one to six the way we score.

And on the play, as Hughes went in there, with the throw going from Skeeter Webb back to Rudy York, and an attempt to get Hughes there, which they did not succeed in, then the first base was kicked a little loose too, so first base is being glued down a little bit tighter.

You can hear him jabbering away down at shortstop, no matter where you are in the stands.

and drop the third baseman, Pitcher Gomez.

Now the three scatter along to their different points of descent.

The batter is Burgess Whitehead, who's had just one hit so far in all of the series.

It's a wide one, four ball one.

The Detroit Pitchers are getting a little bit more cagey about how they're putting the bat away.

They've got the first home run of the series.

They now have the last home run of the series.
