>> len: yeah, and the batter/pitcher matchups you feel you can throw out the window during a stretch like this. >> tom:bsolutely. yeah, he's got the green light if he wants. >> len: there's ball four. ken, with more on matt carpenter. guys, you've heard a lot lately about how analytics have ateast changed game. carpenter is a classic example of a player who is helped by analytics. when he was struggling, the caeinals front office camo him and said, lien, all t other numbers look good, launc angles, hard hit percentag his batting average on balls and plays, extremely low, that reflected poor luck. he the process and look what happened. he erupted. batting average on balls and plays.

it was just .178..375, things even out. >> len: yeah, they do. the irony is, the balls deposited in the bleachers are nsidedert >> tom: tcingac ftshe joe also to us that unlike theny, you can throw out. just learning the newie tende of the new manager, mike shildt. bader showing bunt, first pitch. >> len: atrike. 1-1. by the way, thatn patch oe left sleeve of the cardinals wearing for the rest of the year in honor of ted shamebess, passed away earlier. was a fixture at busch stadium.

that pitch. i was just going to say, tom, before brandon hyde pulledju stin wilson, i wonder if t cardinals might have taken a couple ofriitches and noted to give the cubs an out, because he had walked two. it changes a little with a newpi her. >> tom: yeah, it does. bunt and plare wong does have five sacrifice hits on the season. >> len: there's the rizzo will field it.e th throw to third is in time. he's as aggressive as any third >> tom: there was nobody better at first base, fielding bunts or the side of the infield to get thet force a third base, s ritiming on this was spectacular. watch him moving ashe ball is bunted. on the other side of the thfield, third base side of the mound, and he mais play look easy.

good defense. ideally you push it harder toward third the n: those who believe ime discriminates against lefties, it doe a lot of positions, but on the pitcher's mound and at fst base, it does not. there's a much tougher pla for a right-handed thrower to make.a lownd in, 2-0 on dejong. cishek working both ends of the doubleheer. faced t batters in game one. yadiep a sac fly to molina. and then got a groundout. swing and a miss. 2-1. >> tom: a littl bit of elevation right there from

cishek. this game, as you mentiod, is getting ground balls. twrd o-seamer running in on the right-handed hitter.: >> l you said it, he is the rare sidearmer who does if there's such a thing as a super utility reliever, steve cishek can hitn any spot and ou multiple innings if needed. so 2-2. that's bader. second base, cardinals have not led since t sixth inning they were up 1-0, and gave u

three in the sixth, ttho of ose three runs were unearned. pulls it to left. that is a fair ball! it's going to knock in at least one! wong will head back to third. and the cardinals have the lead here in the ninth. so dejong had a shot at redemption and he comes throughm ejroyor ainning. er to this now, thank you for the slider, left over the middle of the pl down, yesbut way too much of stays on balance. he's talking to it, get down. and down it did in fair territory. >> len: cubs will bring the

infield in, now that they trail, second and third. ozuna tak a strike. the 0-1. now 1-1. >> tom: walks have been the invitation for trouble throughout this game. and justin wilson started this fire with the two walks to srt the iing. >> len: hits combined. thereave been two extra base hits. the carpenter he run in seventh. and that doubl by dejong. that's been it. not a lot of slugging tonight wi the wind blowing in. >> tom: not a lot of strikes. way too many walks.

one right be anoth there, if you're pulling behind ozuna. >> len: that will offictilly be an ional walk. so the bases are now loaded for tommy ph. >> tom: the right move by pham, to fall behind a gd hitter, rather than pitch with anfi eld in. then you put the infld back. ground ball pitcher on the mound. hoping he's got a double play ball ihis pocket against pham. >> len: swingiss. strike one.

wide. contreras shofng of a tom: that was almost me oingn out there. cishek threw great slider fore . ertch, he's going to try and throw an even be one. contreras right there. >> len: cardinals have got one in the seventh on the homer by carpenter, one ingh the ei. two-out rally that time. and a drive to right, slicing. and it's going to get down it's probably going to clear the bases! wong and dejong score! ozuna held at third! it is a two-run double! and it's a three-run cardinal lead.

>> tom: cishek came back with the two-seam sinker, looking for that double play bl. pham just beat him to it, beat him to the spot. away, hit it that way. that's a great example. watch pham stay on t baseball. >> len: brandon hyde will make another move, as dexter fowler is announced. another pitching change. the cardinals with three big ones here in the ninth. and they're still tting. t and i can doth what's already within me. because my body can still and once-weekly trulity activates my body to release it. trulicity is not insulin.a it comes ionce-weekly, truly easy-to-use pen. it works 24/7.
