>> this is our new friend at fox and off his new album "i'm shaking. >> ken: here's miller pitching to buster posey.

miller just turned 22. posey is 25. youth is served here in the bottom of the seventh of game two. first-round pick, 19th overall, shelby miller from houston, texas. he has made a rapid assent through the cardinal organization, and he can bring it. 96 on the fastball. it's 0-2. >> tim: youth is serving baseball very well. the introduction this year of mike fratello, bryce harper, two guys representing their leagues very, very well. >> joe: got posey looking. 95 mile-an-hour fastball right at the knees. one out. tonight's game is sponsored by samsung galaxy x-3.

and by bank of america, the official bank of major league baseball. vogelsong exits, as pence comes up empty. strike 1. casilla and affeldt, they were warming last inning. they are getting up now. popped up right side for descalso. two out. game summary is brought to you by liberty mutual. two out here in the bottom of the seventh inning. angel pagan has two lead off home runs this postseason. first got to do a jimmy rollins, he's the second. led off to right. scutaro had another two-hit night but left with a left hip problem, and then vogelsong has been outstanding on the mound.

he's gone through seven. allowed only four hits. even chipped in with a double leading off the sixth. great arm action by shelby miller. as mike matheny described to us before the game, comes right over the top and has a good downward plane with his fastball. tough to hit. as the reds found out the final game of the season in a game that didn't matter, shelby miller held them without a hit through five. strike 2. >> tim: hitters industry a pitcher like that as the guy who is throwing downhill, and miller does it very, very well. the ball is on top of you. even though you are looking for the fastball, it's on top of you before you are ready for it.

great extension. >> joe: popped up behind the plate. molina will watch it head into the seats. still 1-2 on belt, who has had a nice night. 2 for 3. here's the motion of of shelby miller. >> tim: that's a four-seam fastball. 96 miles an hour. how about 312 strikeouts in three seasons in the minor leagues. his stuff in the lower minor leagues was just too good for the hitters he was facing. 2-2, the count on him. >> tim: dwight gooden, in 1984,

he came up to the big leagues after striking out 300 in 190 innings. in one season. >> joe: unbelievable. how about shelby miller strikes out two in his nlcs debut. we will go to the eighth. game two. 5-1, san francisco. . this bigger screen goes from here to here. now that's either a) an amazing coincidence .. or b) a dazzling display of common sense. pretty sure it's the common sense thing.

>> joe: here is tonight's in-game box score for the cardinals brought to you by geico. not many hits, four total, two doubles for beltran, the only rbi by the cardinals starting pitcher, chris carpenter. here tonight the starter for the giants, ryan vogelsong, is finished after seven. one run on those four hits. four strikeouts, two walks. a hit batsman. and affeldt is into the game to pitch to beltran with casilla up for the giants in their bullpen here in the eighth. 5-1, san francisco, trying to even the best-of-seven series before everybody heads to

st. louis. here's a 1-0 popped up. theriot goes out. pence comes in. theriot has it. one out. beltran retired for the first time tonight. who will become a legend this october? cast your postseason legend vote at mlbfancave.com. now these fans aware that that slide by holliday in the first inning cost scutaro the second half of this game. replaced by theriot. >> tim: the boos have increased with each at-bat. >> joe: one on, nobody on. holliday takes the ball. matt 1 for 3. got on in the first inning with a hit. here's the 1-0. good pitch from affeldt, who

hits 92 for strike 1. bottom of the eighth they will have the bottom three in their lineup. here's the 1-1 pitch. ball 2. holliday hit 27 home runs during the regular season. seventh highest rbi total in the national league at 102. checks on theriot. makes the play. two out. bases empty for allen craig. craig tonight, hit by a pitch his last time up and just grazed

his uniform top. struck out in the third. bounced into the force-out that led to that take-out slide at second base in the first. affeldt talking to himself as he prepares to pitch to craig. that was big part of their win back in 2010. the numbers coming into this game in 2010, the starting pitching through six games in the postseason, the world champs in ten, 3-1, 42 innings pitched, and a 1.7 e.r.a. so far this year in six games, vogelsong, an e.r.a. of 6.5. but ryan vogelsong turned that around tonight. and his giants lead the cardinals 5-1 into the bottom of the eighth.

molina, freese and descalso. trailing by at least four. ball 1. strike 1. the closer for the giants, with a beard that's just a little less impressive than brian wilson's, sergio romo gets loose. >> tim: that's a stipulation for closers in san francisco, the beards. >> joe: wilson's is becoming legendary. there is no telling what is in there. there's a belt-high pitch for a strike. blanco didn't agree, and it's 2-2. you can see why he thought it

was high. so the rookie gets a break there. now time called prior to the pitch. >> tim: if brian wilson was pitching, a ball in his beard would be a ground-rule double. they would never find it. >> saw him on the way out of the park last night. he was on a scooter. i said hey, man, how are you doing in outstanding. got his fingernails painted. >> tim: painted red. i know on his right-hand. i'm not sure about his left. talk about a character. >> joe: that's ball 3.

that's foul. he might find andre dawson in that beard like the commercial, if you started feeling around in there. what year is it? he is just a walking reality show. >> tim: you know the one guy -- he has a good beat, though. one guy that really enjoys that that is watching tonight, bill lee. the ex-left-hander for the boston rex, the montreal expos, a great guy. and i guarantee you bill lee is watching this game right now. i don't know if he's ever met brian wilson, but those are two guys in the same pod.

>> joe: look at the concentration of his fingers as he taps on the top of the hat. that's high. a leadoff walk. tomorrow night on tbs, game three of the alcs. a great pitching match-up. verlander and sabathia. and thence day from st. louis, the coverage against 3:30 eastern and 12:30 pacific. hohse had a great year. matt cain has been inked to a long-term deal. >> joe: they won it all in the postseason in 2010, and he

didn't give up an earned run. >> tim: no. >> joe: the entire postseason. marc rzepczynski gets loose. we heard from ken rosenthal earlier about future rotation plans for bruce bochy. it's worth going back to that. a check on blanco. pretty interesting conversation we had, kenny, with bruce bochy before the game. >> ken: yes, joe. what he said was he did not want to use lincecum tonight, tim lincecum. and vogelsong going seventh innings enabled that to happen. so how does it set up going forward? as you just said, matt cain in game three. and bochy said the likely scenario is lincecum and barry zito will pitch four and five in some order. madison bumgarner, well, bochy said he's still confident in him but bumgarner after the game last night did not sound at all confident. he's not throwing the ball where he wants it or how he wants it so a change could be in order.

>> joe: and that caught the attention of his manager, bruce bochy. so maybe as kenny said, lincecum and zito. the giants won the last twelve barry zito starts. the fastball swung on and missed by crawford. he's in the hole 0-2 with a runner at first, nobody out. >> tim: that would be a dicey move, in my opinion. because you have a guy like bumgarner, who won 16 games during the season, zito won 15, sure, but all things considered equal, who would you rather have on the mound, bumgarner or zito? that's what bruce bochy will have time to determine. >> joe: as ken mentioned last night, he's not naming any starters beyond game three, just to keep his options open and not paint himself into a corner.

so he's been through this before many times with the padres, with the giants. the cardinal rotation is easy to figure out. nothing and two on crawford. ball 1. it will be lohse in game three for st. louis and then wainwright in game four coming off a rough start in game five, the division series. then back to the front of the rotation with linn in game five on friday. and you have carpenter and lohse. reign, wainwright would only get one start. the runner goes. ball into root center field. that ball is caught by jay, and this will be a double play if

craig can make the tag, and he can't! >> tim: mike matheny already out of the dugout saying we went out of the baseline to avoid the tag and all the players are saying the same thing. a bril meant play by jon jay with the backhand right on the ground. blanco had gone around second base. now allen craig and everybody on the card infield are saying that he is out of the baseline, and now first base umpire, miller, will get help from gibson. >> meanwhile craig is saying he tagged him, and looked like he got him on the back. >> tim: he did. >> joe: we will get a conference now with the umpires. and he got him on the back. >> tim: he clearly did. >> joe: it should be a double play. miller had a great view of it, but didn't see it.

and if somebody else saw something different, then they will call him out. if not, it will be one on, one out. and nobody saw it. >> tim: of course, that is not reviewable. mike matheny arguing, but bill miller -- i beg your pardon, gibson, second base umpire, would have had the best shot at it but he was out in center field making sure that jon jay made the catch, which he did. >> joe: and matheny is still letting bill miller hear it. take a look at the positioning of the umpires. greg gibson, the second base umpire. he stays put. he's right there. and so he didn't see it. and bill miller didn't see it. instead of a double play with jay to allen craig, it's one on, one out, after another fantastic

catch by jon jay. cardinal fans are getting used to seeing that. he has blossomed into one of the game's best center fielder, as aubrey huff will come off to bat for affeldt, who threw a perfect eighth. >> tim: not only a fine play by jon jay, but a play on which some outfielders have been hurt jamming that thumb into the ground. that backhand catch right against the ground, very, very difficult for any athlete or outfielder to make. a dangerous play for an outfielder. >> joe: didn't even catch it cleanly. just held it in the edge of his glove and then got that wrist out of the way at then of the dive. >> tim: joe, from that it looked like he had half a hand in his glove and not all the way in. >> joe: we saw him lose his glove on the ball hit by vogelsong in the sixth, and he

did not keep that glove on his hand. >> one on, one out. blanco had the big lead. >> tim: there you see right there. you see his wall -- his palm. wearing is halfway on your hand, it gives you a little extra chance on balls like that. popped up. down the left-field line. a long run for freese. that's a fair ball! freese had to navigate around the umpire, jerry layne. holliday wasn't close to it, and freese just let it go. it was a fair ball. >> tim: that ball has got to be caught. aubrey huff, looked to me like when a ball has that much hang

time, it's the left fielder's ball. it's much easier making that play for the outfielder coming in than for the infielder going out. >> joe: so a base hit, a single, and now pagan could blow this thing wide open with two on, one out. rookie shelby miller, who could be out of the inning, is still on the mound. pagan has homered tonight. good breaking ball from the 22-year-old. strike 1.

here comes an 0-1. the fastball misses. ball 1. what an experience for this kid, 22 years old, called up at the end of the year. and he replaced jaime garcia, the left-handed starter for the cardinals on the active roster when garriucci -- garcia hurt himself in game one of the division series. >> tim: we ran into jaime garcia before the game in the clubhouse, and asked him if he's going for another opinion. and he's going to dr. james an
