>> justin: top of of the ninth. new pitcher in for atlanta. right-hander david carpenter. 7 walks, 30 strikeouts and he will face iannetta, mcdonald and calhoun here in the ninth. check swing. foul ball, 0-1 to iannetta. >> ray: everybo >> eric: everybody that comes out of the bull pen. 95, 97, 96. i made this comment last week

about how, you know, for many years, let's get into the bull pen. get that pitch count up for the starter to get into the bull pen, because that's usually where the weakness was. now you got guys coming out of the bull pen throwing 96, 97 miles an hour. i mean, bull pen, built now and general managers recognize you've got to have a strong bull pen. got to have that sixth, eighth inning guy. i'm not so sure sitting around taking pitch, working counts. i mean, it doesn't have the same impact it used to. >> justin: speaking with a longtime scout last week, and he was talking about pitchers throwing harder. but having less command. would you agree with that? >> eric: i don't know. i mean, to make a statement like that, i mean, he must have numbers that support that. again, if you, the harder you throw, you can get away without having the commitment.

you can make a mistake. at 90 miles an hour nowadays, you can't make a mistake in location's you can get away with it at 96, 97. so -- the harder the throw is, obviously, probably don't have the command. >> justin: what about guys, i mean, look at guys in the bull pen. i think a lot of teams have figured out that you don't have to spend a lot of money for the bull pen. you can build that up to your farm system. get these guys that throw hard. almost seems like relief pitchers became like running backs in football. life span not long for your career? >> eric: it's not very long and i think also that players, because of the economics, you don't want to get into that six, seven, really or eighth winning guy. you want to be the closer or you want to be a starter. you know, there are some guys that are earning some money that are that seventh or eighth

inning guy, but -- >> justin: chopper. simmons, trying to bare hand. he's going to eat this one, and an infield single for iannetta >> eric: doing a nice job, comes in, bare hands that ball and decides to eat it and does not have a play. iannetta gets on the board right there with a base hit. see, it takes kind of a funny hop and he's got to change his course a little bit. still, still feels it cleanly. fields it cleanly. >> justin: leadoff infield single for iannetta. now john mcdonald at the plate. came in as part of that double switch, last inning here for the angels. a bunt. a good bunt. carpenter, the flip with the glove to first base. sacrifice 1-3 down to second base goes iannetta.

>> eric: interesting, dino ebel calling for the sacrifice. get the running in scores position, got out of grand slam range. he's got the four-run lead and wants to put one more on the board. that way a grand slam won't tie you. >> justin: or get into the martin timer territory, five-shot lead going into sunday at the u.s. open. >> eric: what did he have, though, going into today? up 7? wasn't he? 6 or 7? >> justin: up six shots for today's round. first pitch to calhoun. misses outside for a ball.

>> justin: outside again. two balls and no strikes >> eric: you know, carpenter has struggled a bit this year and braves hoped he would be the guy to get the ball to kimbrel, be the guy to the starter, the eighth inning guy and he just has not been effective. hasn't been consistent, i should say. >> justin: 2-0 fouled away. two balls, one strike. simmons moving behind the runner in second, iannetta >> eric: something i was looking at the other day that, you knowish the braves this year -- have to look at this in my notes. they have lost more games. lost six games this year, when leading after six innings. in 2013, they lost five total.

five total in 2013. >> justin: swing and a miss. 2-2. a large reason why he won 96 games last year. the bull pen. i mean, for me it's that bull pen. they got to the sixth inning on. it was game over. they had to leave. the problem is, getting it to kimbrel. time-out asked for by calhoun. 2-2 fouled back.

two balls and two strikes to kole calhoun. top of the ninth inning near atlanta. 5-1, angels, leading the braves. the angels got on the board back in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by albert pujols. two more in the sixth. back-to-back home runs from trout and pujols. and rbi walk in the seventh, by aybar in the eighth. fastball, outside. now 3-2 the count to calhoun. mike trout on deck.

>> justin: a foul out of play. we'll do it again at 3-2. the braves entered this game tied with washington, as you said, for first place in the nl east. 35-31. the angels entered this game 3.5 back of oakland. oakland, 40-27 on the season. the nationals lost 4-1. and now kole calhoun strikes out for out number two. budweiser,ed official beer of major league baseball presents the walkoff. great walk-offs rating at

foxsports.com/budweiser. grab some bud against the oakland a's. the walk-off homer in the 14th inning. >> justin: two away here in the ninth now for trout. >> eric: gets another opportunity to watch the man up at the plate. >> justin: does he remind you of any player you've seen throughout your career? >> eric: nah. i can't say that -- i mean, he just -- there are guys who had tools but just weren't as disciplined. especially at a young age. i mean, there isn't anybody that i can recall that i'd say, hey, you know what? you go back to the rickey henderson. i played against ricky, near the end of his career.

i shouldn't say that. he played frenorever. shouldn't say that. but i guess i'd liken limb him ricky a little bit. i'm not sure ricky struck out as much, though. >> justin: one ball and one strike. >> eric: i mean, if it's possible, though, i think he's -- he's going to get better. he's going to be more impactful. >> justin: pulled to third. foul. 1-2 >> eric: i mean, he'll gain more experience. learn more about certain situations. learn more about the pitchers. >> justin: on the pregame show tonight he spoke to kevin

burkhart and frank thomas and he said, you know, the one thing i'm doing differently, watching more film. but i thought it was also pretty funny where, are you changing anything? he said, well, the first two years things are working pretty well, so -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it >> eric: i think start doing pregame hits. right? in the dugout with fox, beforehand. do that, go out and throw out a few hits and a home run. >> justin: fouled away. we'll do it again at 1-2. he bought his mom a car for mother's day. so you can't play favorites. he bought his dad a car as well.

outside. two balls and two strikes. the three guys who have hit home runs here tonight. gattis, trout and pujols. all of them solo shots. 2-2 and trout goes down swinging. 5-1 as we go to the bottom half of the nine rnlg. tomorrow's father's day. mike trout has a special message. >> father's day growing up, i wouldn't be here without you guys. mom and dad. you mean the world to me.

new pitcher, ernesto frieri. 28 innings pitched. walked seven, struck out 36. freire with 11 saves on the season. not a save situation with a 5-1 ball game >> eric: remember, he started the season with the closer job, and had some struggles and mike scioscia and the organization went to the matchup closer by committee. and now he's returned as the closer. getting some work in tonight. >> justin: for dino ebel managing the came tonight as mike scioscia in arizona attending a funeral of bob welsh. probably treating this like a one-run ball game >> eric: making sure angels end up on top. >> justin: there's dino.

now move, if they can win this game, to 3-0 in his managerial career. >> justin: fouled back. simmons, 0 for 3 on the night. i thought it was pretty cool, speaking with dino ebel before the game, asking him, did mike scioscia give you a lineup or anything? no, just left. this is all me today. >> eric: that staff -- that mike has put together. dean other ebel, or alfredo giffin -- >> justin: ground ball to third past mcdonald and leadoff single for simmons. that will bring up a pinch hitter here. ryan doumit. doumit to pinch hit in the nine hole >> eric: you mentioned doumit in the nine hole right now. he gets on, turns the lineup over.

we talked about it. they've had runners on every single inning. they had the home run hit by gattis in the eighth. that counted for their own run, but every single inning, the braves have put something on. >> justin: first pitch to doumit is outside. check swing. did not go says david rackley. . >> justin: and a hole on the right side. holding up at second, simmons, back-to-back singles for the braves to open up the night. the king plays of the day brought to you by burger king.

and we go back to that sixth inning. mike trout, albert pujols, the back-to-back home runs. and both of them were about, oh, 20 feet apart out there in left center field. those are the king place of the day brought to you by burger king. jason heyward. nobody out, runners on first and second. and the first pitch is outside for ball one. >> eric: can you see frieri, 9a miles an hour. accustomed to watching guys out of the bull pen outside of joe smith, coming in at 96, 97. >> justin: the one through four hitters for the braves combined 1 for 14 with seven strikeouts. outside. 2-0.

>> eric: well, the irony of baseball is, heyward can get on, bj upton comes to the plate with a chance to tie the ball game. that's struggles obviously at the plate. out in the field. >> justin: 2-0. heyward took a strike. 2-1. he didn't like it. that pitch was in. what is it about closers having so much difficulty coming in in non-save situations? >> eric: sometimes the adrenaline isn't there. you see that pitch off the plate. you know, ron washington, a coach with the oakland a's while i was there, now the manager. very successful manager of the texas rangers, said, don't give me anything about a save situation. you come in, i give you the ball. it's a win situation. you go in and win that ball game for me. >> justin: a look back to second. not going anywhere.

>> eric: point-on. i mean, trying to win a game. wash is point-on. >> justin: 2-1. swing and miss. two balls and two strikes. >> eric: you see frieri working both sides of the plate. got that pitch, 2-0 in off the plate calling for a strike. goes -- out away. not a comforting stat right there, if you're an angel fan. fouled back. we'll do it again at two balls and two strikes. freddie freeman's got that bat in the dugout hoping to hit.

>> justin: 2-2, pulls to first. foul ball. >> eric: a great play by pujols. getting over there. that thing kind of handcuffed him. did a nice job. oh, just foul. >> justin: almost fielded the ball behind him. the other than of the gold glove, pujols. one of the great players of our generation. still two balls and two strike here's to jason heyward, battling against ernesto frieri. first and second, nobody out. bottom half of the ninth.

5-1 ball game. now time-out asked for by heyward. simmons off a single. doumit, pinch hitter singled to right field. fouled back again. >> justin: bj upton on deck hoping for a shot at redemption.

>> justin: line drive, center field. base hit. here comes simmons. he will score. 5-2. the tying run is coming up. a great at-bat by heyward, selling off all of those pitches, then delivering a single. >> eric: heyward does a nice job just going with this. missing a ball out over the plate, but it's up. actually a couple inches off the plate, but because it's elevated he's able to get to that ball. if it's down low, tougher to reach, usually beats that thing into the ground. >> justin: a meeting on the mound as mike butcher comes out to speak with his pitcher, ernesto frieri. 5-2. heyward now on at first. and the batter is going to be bj upton.

bj upton on the night, for 3. a single, a walk, a strikeout a flyout to right and this is bj upton trying to make up for what happened earlier. >> eric: just took his eye off the ball. >> justin: went under his glove nap allowed the fifth run to score and now he has a chance to redeem himself. takes the first tipitch, first strike wlshg things aren't going well, you're in the situation, the game's on the line, or when you are at the plate, it's 0-2 every time up. it's a man's game. >> justin: fastball outside. one ball and one strike.

mike the moran getting ready for the angels. two balls and a strike to bj upton. freddie freeman on deck. struck out three times tonight. takes the pitch right down the mithd and upton, he knew he let a good one pass. >> eric: again that just shows you, just indecisive. you've got so many things going through your herd. i'm looking for the fastball.

it's a curb bawl. looking for the off-speed, it's the fastball. it is an absolutely helpless feeling. >> justin: 2-2. high and outside. three balls and two strikes. they continue with the tomahawk chop here at turner field. the payoff pitch. line drive, right field. can't make the play. it gets past him. here comes doumit scoring. heyward will come in to score.

and down at third base, bj upton, it's a one-run ball game. >> justin: a two-run triple for bj upton. calhoun trying to lay out to make the play. and here's freeman. tying a run 90 feet away, and a business miss, infield playing half way. >> eric: that's the beauty of this game. you keep getting opportunities.

bj upton comes through. >> justin: one ball and one strike >> eric: i said it earlier, too. the angels had a couple opportunities earlier in the game. you see heyward coming in, sliding slavely. braves are fired up. heyward's excited. >> justin: low and inside. 2-1. talking earlier, the angels had a couple opportunities to score early in the game. guys on third. didn't cash in. coming back to bite them. freddie freeman, 0 for his last 14. three balls and one strike.
