i would just like to congratulate lake mike matheny on a great season. one tough team. great series that we played against them and all the best to them going forward. but most importantly, to these guys in uniform over here. to be able to come to work with them every day, to see how they prepared the. work they put in and to share it in front of the greatest fans in this sport, it's one heck of a night. thank you. >> thank you so much. we've got a couple guys joining us up here. jon lester? you? who else? david ortiz says in 2007 you learned from the big dogs. what did those guys teach that you you were able to instill in those teammates over there? >> go out and compete, i guess. you know, that's all we've done all year. people counted us out all year. we just kept proving them wrong. and now we're standing here with this trophy in front of us. and it hasn't sunk in right now. >> when did you realize this group of guys was special? >> i think day one of spring training. we got guys like jonny gomes and mike napoli and vic to come in here and obviously this guy right h

. >> tim: mike matheny is a former major league catcher, and he is using that experience to see that carlos martinez is throwing as well as anybody could from the bull pen. he might be wrong, but that is the choice. >> joe: carlos martinez was a starter, and he is new to pitching out of the bull pen, and he is about to throw some of the biggest pitches the cardinals will have thrown for them this season. the 1-1. here's a little floater, shallow center, out goes kozma and the inning is off. carlos martinez heads off the field and mike matheny's confidence in the young right-ha right-hander is rewarded. the reaction from the second-year manager. 43-year-old mike matheny and the 22-year-old carlos martinez. and let's go to the ninth, 4-2, st. louis. are you making it the original? at pizza hut we brought you the original pan pizza... and our great thin 'n crispy® and hand tossed which made us america's number-one choice. and now we're helping you put your spin on it and create your own original with the $10 any pizza deal. any pizza, any size, any toppings delivery, dine in or carry ou

no matheny. i guarantee you, david ortiz who didn't move after the strikeout is expecting to face the left-hander here. >> tim: he thought that choate was in the game. i don't think that there was any question about it. instead, it is the hard-throwing right-hander. >> joe: ground ball up the middle. diving stop by carpenter, but a base hit for david ortiz, and the inning continues. >> tim: matt carpenter prevents jacoby ellsbury from going to the third base, but he can't make a play. a nice play to stop it, but he can't throw it. >> joe: and so now another meeting on the mound and martinez will be facing mike napoli. and mike matheny is sticking with the 22-year-old right-hand right-hander. he has the 23-year-old right-hander trever rosenthal, his closer, getting loose, and right now it is martinez and napoli. go ahead run at the plate. two on. two out. strike one. >> tim: mike matheny is a former major league catcher, and he is using that experience to see that carlos martinez is throwing as we

matheny and molina are back in the world series but in different roles. >> a few of us have pretty bademories of being here in 2004 we're looking to right that ship. mathe in, y is relying on molina to do what he could not, beat boston in the world series. >> not only does mike methany to be a team leader but to be a coach. that's what he is. when he comes to the dugout, he'll ask him questions about the pitcher, what he sees on the field. and the coaching staff will make adjustments based on what the player says. molina is almost part of the coaching staff as well. >> of course game three set for tomorrow night in st. louis, and joining us from bush stadium is jessica taff. after the drama, what is the mood there at bush stadium on this non-game day? >> reporter: you know, michael, we could call this the calm before the storm. the game is actually tomorrow. more media members more than anybody else, but the teams getting ready. boston hyped m behind me took td for batting practice. they want to get the first game against the cardinals in st. louis and return the favor of what happened

and mike matheny out to make sure he is all right. break an ankle like that. >> joe: he said he was fine. he was telling matheny and greg hock to stay in the dugout. just to finish the point about david ortiz with what he's done at the plate, steve was saying that you look at what jon lester has done on the mound in this world series, he's 2-0. one earned run. 15 and a third innings pitched. and in the matchup of the aces, he got the better of adam wainwright not once but twice in this world series. and now after the balk, he takes the bat out of the hands of david ortiz. >> he's been walked three times now intentionally this evening. scoring two runs in the third and fourth innings. i think i'd give it to ortiz. that would be my vote right now. but jon lester, why would the red sox be without jon lester? the answer is you don't know. >> joe: the series was tied at two apiece. lester beat wainwright in game five. and now boston three defensive outs from their eighth championship in franchise history. coming up on america's new 24 hour

martinez takes over and no real surprise for mike matheny. he's got a young bullpen. talent throughout and short on experience and so here in the world series on the road at fenway, why not get them in the ball game? >> tim: you can do it in an american league city because you don't have to pinch hit for your pitcher or the pitcher's spot. could more or less bring in pitchers without paying the price of using a hitter. can't do that in the national league city, of course. >> joe: that's worth talking about as we get ready for the game three on saturday in st. louis. here's one in to left! in to the corner. it takes a hop and bangs around before holliday can get it back in and daniel nava who with .300 plus in the regular season and found his way to the bench in favor of him, jonny gomes lately in the postseason just steps off the bench and hits a double. >> tim: nothing but good words by john farrell of a guy understanding like daniel nava is. now think about this. your ace in the american league in hitting and you have jonny gomes, a right handed hitter hitting in fr

louis and mike matheny's game will have the top of the order in the bottom of this ninth inning. trying to come in here to st. louis and take two of the three games before going back to fenway. strikeout starts the night. >> tim: trevor rosenthal telling us before the game that when he's going for a strikeout, he uses the right side of the rubber. but the left-handed batters, he'll use the first base side of the rubber. cheat toward first. >> joe: stephen drew with an important walk that he drew in the seventh inning. he may have only the one hit, but after getting behind in the count, he worked a walk out of adam wainwright, the only walk of the night. >> joe: here's a foul back and out of play. the only walk handed out by either side, and it was big. because that guy, david ross, followed with an rbi double to break the tie. with one out, nobody on, the 0-2 from rosenthal fouled away. please join major league baseball in supporting the men and women of the military who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedom. log on to welcomebackveterans.org to see how you can help toda

mike matheny told me he was ready. craig said he was ready. he favored that leg.looked uncomfortable. as you said, here he is. >> joe: the count 1-1. a sprained left foot on the fourth of september. he hits one into deep right. back at the wall, it's up against the wall, and allen craig will make it only to first on a ball that he gets over the head of nava in right. and colton long came off the edge. pinch run for craig. >> tim: on one leg, a long single. >> joe: he can't run right now, but he can still hit. and craig is given the cardinals a chance here in the ninth inning. long is the pinch runner. carpenter up. league leader in hits during the regular season. and beltran, 16 career postseason home runs on deck. still drama left in game four. ball one to carpenter. >> tim: napoli is holding him on. you almost give him second base. it's a two-run lead. not a one-run lead. he's not going to try to steal. >> joe: and by hoeing him on, you're leaving a whole other right side of the infield. >> tim: that's exactly right. can you drive mack trucks through that right

game for the cardinals as they face a steep hill here the rest of the way tonight will be for mike mathenyhe right rib contusion? kozma. is in the hole, 1-2. >> tim: postseason or not, joe, it change it is look of their lineup. no doubt about it. without beltran, a lot tougher to beat a very tough boston team. >> joe: but again, going forward, the red sox are getting exactly what they need out of lester. john farrell's getting it from his left hander. the pitching matchup tomorrow night. lackey off a great start in game three against the nlcs most valuable player, michael wacha. that gets away. the count's full and lester is asked by his catcher david ross if he's okay. after being a little slow to gather after that pitch. the count's full. >> tim: once again, trailing the pirates, michael wacha pitches a jewel in pittsburgh and then adam wainwright closed out a very good bucco team this year. i mean, what a year they had. >> joe: kozma waits far s for a and grounds to stephen drew. gobbles it up. gets the out. one away. eight in a row retired by jon lester. one out in the eighth. this nov

louis manager mike matheny on the rare call reversal that changed the outcome of the game. >> that's a play i've ever seen before, and i'm pretty sure there were six umpires on the field who had never seen that play before either, and it's a pretty tough time to debut that overruled call in the world series. >> making things worse for the cardinals, star outfielder carlos beltran left the game after injuring his ribs while robbing david ortiz of a home run. it's unclear if he'll be ready to play in game two tonight. >>> and a texas high school football coach has been cleared in a bullying investigation launched after his team recorded a lopsided victory last week. aledo defeated western hills, 91-1 on friday. that prompted a western hills parent to file a formal complaint of bullying against aledo coach, tim buchanan. administration found no support to launch the complaint and said buchanan acted in an honorable manner. >>> when we return, a progress report on little grayson. he's a deaf boy you've probably seen this video. we'll see how an implant hearing device has changed his worl

. >> once the mentor matheny is looking for molina. >> he looks to him to be a coach. he will when yadier molina comes into the dugout, ask him questions. very rarely you see that molina is almost part of the coaching staff as well. >> ross shimabuku, al jazeera. >> now for boston making the world series was a far fetched idea following last season's embarrassing last place finish but one huge change at the top made all the difference in the world. after the nightmare that was the 2012 season and the dismissal of manager bobby valentine after that one campaign, the boston red sox traded for toronto bluejays skipper john farrell. >> the players never warmed up to him, i'm not saying they quit open him but they didn't thrive, they lost 93 games, it was a miserable place to be, players hated to be around, bobby valentine hated to be around him. they had no choice but to fire him after one season. >> the red sox sported the best record in the league. his team first attitude has perm permeated the clubhouse. >> it was clear this was a group of veteran guys that have come fr

here's mike matheny summing it up. >> basically, the explanation is that's not a play i've ever seen umpires on the field that have never seen that play before either. it's a pretty tough time to debut that overruled call in the world series. i get, trying to get the right call. i get that. just a tough one to swallow. >> who knows what will happen tomorrow? game 2, same time, channel 2, 5:00 for the game. may have been a bye week for the raiders, but their quarterback wasn't kicking back. talent, but plenty to work on for opening night. sports part 2 coming up. >>> exactly what you want to see out of your quarterback. raiderses terrelle pryor does not spend the week at the beach. far from it. he went straight back to the grind. even brought tom house up from southern california to help him work some kinks out. >> we went out to a local field around the oakland area, just to clean up some stuff. i got better, i can say that. i got better, so it was a great time it to get some work in. i rarely get any days off. but there's no time to get off anyways. got to work constantly to improve

seemed to injury himself again on that play, but, nonetheless, major mike matheny say says he l be atof matt adams, that's breaking news. let's go to busch stadium where jessica is standing by. that's interesting news because earlier the lineups came out and allen craig was not in the start be lineup. >> reporter: absolutely. that's what's happened all series long just the other day, we had jonny gomes after the late scratch victorino comes in and end up being the unlikely hero of the game. so really great news for the cardinals, he's their r.b.i. leader, and this is his first start in the field as you said and he has been the hero of associates in those late innings off the bench being able to d.h., at first, it's a luge play when he got the obstruction call and last night getting the big base hit that put the cardinals in scoring position where they could have come back to powe poe thepotentially win the game. big news from him because he is one of their leaders. and we have news of the pitching matchups, too. of course we have the aces going at it tonight, john lefter and addison w

the 43-year-old matheny will have his guys ready to play, because they're a confident bunch and they do not fear the beard. >> if they're intimidated by the beards, we're in trouble. as far as their players, we have the jut most respect for anybody who gets to this level, lot alone the ones with long careers and great success. there couldn't be a better ace for a club. the combination of he and chris carpenter, who is so valuable to us. you talk about the young talent, if you don't have a couple of guys standing there at the top telling them and also showing them how it's supposed to be done, you're set up for failure. hopefully, these young guys, we've told them a lot and they do get it. they should be grateful in the example that they have in adam wainwright in the club. >> tim lincecum signed a deal for $35 million, coming off a disappointing 10-14 season, but he did throw a no-hitter. he wanted a short term deal to prove himself and he also has a no-trade clause. lincecum was scheduled to be a free agent but now is staying in the city by the bay. >> the ugly situation at gramblin
