Rick Reuschel

Ball one, strike one.

Kind of anxious, Lou, to get a look at Rick Reuschel tomorrow.

Hope he's gonna be in a groove.

Yes, this is the second time around for most of these pitchers, and they should be improving insofar as strengthening the arm.

It all depends on who doesn't have the tired arm, who has to be, uh, used here tonight.

Rick Reuschel is scheduled to go against Kusman in the regularly scheduled game.

And Nino Espinoza, who threw up a run last night against the Phillies, shut 'em out on three hits, is scheduled to pitch one of the games Sunday against the Cubs.

Two out, a 1-2 pitch.

Pat Zachary The probable starter against the Cubs on Saturday in New York with Nino Espinoso and Jackson Todd pitching in the double header on Sunday.

And it was Espinoso last night who defeated the Philadelphia Phillies one to nothing on a three-hitter, and the little guy singled in the only run of the ballgame.

With Ray Burris scheduled now to go in the suspended game tomorrow night, Rick Reuschel will start the regular scheduled game against Koosman, and then, uh, Herman Franks and pitching coach Barney Schueler's.

There's a swing by Morales and a deep drive, left field.

Because, because, because we talked about it, Candlestick was crushed brick on the infield.

Any ball that hit the infield was scuffed up, right? Well, Rick Russell, Big Daddy, didn't wanna cheat.

No, Big Daddy, yeah.

But if he got one that had a scuff on it, he was...

Le- let's just say he was very appreciative.

And so I went up to him one day and I go, "Big Daddy," I said, you know, I said, "How often do you want me to scuff it for you?" And he goes, he goes, "With nobody on, don't worry about it." He said, "With somebody on," he says, "cut it up for me." I'm like, "All right.

No problem." So you know how we would throw the ball around the infield and stuff like that? I'd intentionally throw the ball low.

Somebody would have to pick it, and you'd have a big scuff mark on the ball, and that made Big Daddy's shit more lively.

All depends on who doesn't have the tired arm who has to be, uh, used here tonight.

Rick Reuschel is scheduled to go against Koosman in the regularly scheduled game.

And Nino Espinoza, who drove in a run last night against the Phillies, shut 'em out on three hits, is scheduled to pitch one of the games Sunday against the Cubs.

Two out, a 1-2 pitch.

Larry Krisman will be the probable starting pitcher for the Mets tomorrow night in that suspended game, and he's also scheduled to start the regular game that'll immediately follow that one.

And Pat Zachary, the probable starter against the Cubs on Saturday in New York.

But Nino Espinoso and Jackson Todd pitching in the doubleheader on Sunday, and it was Espinoso last night who defeated the Philadelphia Phillies one to nothing on a three-hitter, and the little guy singled in the only run of the ballgame With Gray Burr scheduled now to go in the suspended game tomorrow night, Rick Reuschel will start the regular schedule game against Koosman.

And then, uh, Herman Franks and pitching coach Barney Schussel.

The final score was 5 to nothing.

So that means the Giants try to get even tonight, and they put the ball in the hands of 40-year-old Big Daddy, as they call him, Rick Rusch, going to the mound for San Francisco, and you've watched him for years, Jimmy.

Yes, I have, and he is 40 years old, and I think Roger Craig, the manager of the Giants, would like to have Big Daddy do what Terry Kennedy couldn't do last night, and that stopped the A's cold.

Well, he's the perfect pitcher to do it.

He had a rotator cuff surgery back in 1982, but he was 17 and 8.

Reds and the Cubs from Wrigley Field in the first of two.

Tomorrow afternoon, Freddie Norman against Rick Reuschel.

The pitch, taken high.

One ball and one strike.

Ferguson will be behind the plate today, and he'll be hitting sixth, with Cesar Cedeno in center field, and Cedeno batting seventh.

Shortstop Roger Metzger batting in the eighth position, and Floyd Bannister, a left-hander with a record of four wins and seven losses, the starting pitcher.

For the Cubs, quite a shakeup.

José Cardenal will be leading off, and Cardenal in left field.

With only one hit, but there were three walks and an error.

He faked the bunt, and he was going to swing and took the pitch high, ball one.

Cincinnati here tomorrow, and the probable starting pitcher for the Cubs, Rick Reuschel.

One-oh pitch.

Jim McClellan working behind the plate tonight.

Dave Phillips is at first, Steve Palermo on at second, and Rick Reuschel is the ump at third.

2-2 pitch, a little bit low, and it's a full count to Yount.

Robin has a four-game hitting streak alive.
