We are under the lights as the show gets you ready for another edition of Major League Baseball. Tonight we've got a good match up in store between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees. Eric Cole, the California born right-hander is on the mound. Dan, any thoughts? Well, Matt, he's been really pitching well recently. He even won the Pitcher of the Month Award in the American League with all the other great starters in this league. That's really saying something. I think he's on top of his game and I expect to see a solid performance out of him here. Now in the box, Kevin Newman, he's assuming the role of DH in this inter-league matchup. Yeah, Matt, that's one of the funny things about National League teams playing in ale ballparks. All of a sudden, the lineup kind of changes dramatically, but the cool thing is it gets more guys a chance to get some of that or time in the field. First pitch on its way. Ball hit high and foul down the left field line. It's strike one. First pitch, 6-35. One strike now from Cole and he wasn't going to hit that one with an oar. The strikeout and there's one gone. To me, when it's raining, the approach at the plate has to change a little bit, especially if you're a guy that can run a little bit, put the ball in play any way possible, especially on the ground. Making plays in the rain becomes exponentially tougher to do when it's wet, so these offenses really need to limit the strikeouts. And as the Yankees get started here tonight, guys, they come in riding a five-game winning streak and they've really got things clicking. Yeah, Matt, it is teams coming together right now to play in dangerous baseball. You can tell the look in their eye. They feel good about where they're at. They've won a few games in a row and they look to continue that trend today.  Cole has made a name for himself as a starter that simply misses the barrel of the bat. He rarely allows a large number of hits and he does a pretty good job at keeping the ball in the ballpark when the hitters do make contact. Yeah, Matt, that's not an easy thing to do. I think one of the reasons is he changes speeds really well and he throws both sides of the plate. One of the keys to missing the barrels, you have to be able to throw inside and throw outside and he's about as good as it gets in baseball at missing barrels. Now a ball lying to the left side but fouled, fouled away. Another two-two and they're working the outer half here but that one's wide for ball three. You can bet these hitters are taking note of what the guy on the hill is working with along at bat like this in the first inning can reveal a lot. It's just got great strikeout stuff working for him these days. Looking back at his last start he racked up nine K's and now he's looking like he can put up similar numbers in this one. Into the box, Brian Reynolds as he takes a called strike at the knees its own one. Tried to get him to go after the slider but it's one and one. Two out, nobody on and he pumps the fastball by him here one and two now. If the offense didn't already know, the man on the mound's got his A game fastball working today. And he lays off it to even the count two and two. He's a veteran out on that mound. He understands he has to establish that inside fastball to open up the outer half of the plate. Tried to bury one down in a way but it's a full count now three and two. If you're at the plate right now you have to realize who's on deck. I guarantee you something's over the heart of the plate. You have to be aggressive in your zone right here. And a great inning here as he gets another punch out and strikes out this side in order. One two three go the Pirates and now the bombers will get their shot. No score. Mitch Keller will be on the mound for the series opener. What's your take on him Dan? Hey this guy has a four pitch repertoire right and those are a lot of nice options to have.  Here's Brett Gartner now and he really thrives in the batter's box here at home something to keep an eye on in this one. First delivery to him on the way. Well out in front of the breaking ball there for a strike. Dero Dan we look at this Pirates Ball Club as they enter play here tonight. They dropped another one last time out and in fact they've won just twice in their last eight tries. Yeah Matty this definitely looks like a situation where somebody's going to have to call a team meeting. I don't know if it comes from a veteran or the manager decides to close the doors for a second but this team has not played well. They find themselves losing lately. They lost the last game and they're going to need a spark to get this thing turned around. A dive and he knocks it down and he'll make it to first easily on what will almost certainly be ruled an infield single. Nice effort by the shortstop right there kept it in front of them. That's all he could do right there Dan. You know Dero in a spot like that. That's an infield single. That's a tough play just to knock that ball down was a pretty good job. But anyway you look at it that should be scored a base hit and I'm sure it was ready. Here's the first offering. Now fastball a bit too low here it's ball one is looked at for ball number two. That's a great call right there. Fastball away with a guy who's got some jets on first base almost like the hybrid pitch out. Great for a catcher if that guy's running easy transfer throw to second base. Here's the 2 and 0 pitch outside the throw and he can't hold on to the throw as it short hops him and eats him up. That's a swipe of the bag in this catcher. He throws really well too. So that's not easy. Good job there by the base runner to come back there. It's three and one and he misses there for ball four. So runners are at first and second now with nobody out always tough to issue a free pass. But especially troublesome when you give up a single right before that to start the inning. We'll see if he can figure out a way to wiggle out of this into the plate. Now Aaron judge and he could give his guys an early lead if he can come through here. It's coming. Here it is. Fly ball about to right field. Polanco has a read on it. He makes the catch and tagging is the runner from second Gary Sanchez on the stretch. Here's the pitch. One thing I'm going to keep my eye on with this young starter on the mound is how he's able to stay ahead of hitters. It makes pitching at this level a lot easier. And when you're trying to establish yourself in the big leagues you're going to have a much better time doing that. And a base head is the Ronald score from third and the Yankees scored first. It's one to nothing. Boy when teams are playing well like this team is on a nice little winning streak right here. They strike early in this one to keep the mojo working. From an offensive standpoint everyone searches for confidence and that's exactly what they have right now. Everyone contributed makes for a fun clubhouse. Giancarlo Stanton now as the first pitch to him runs a bit inside for Bowl one tough situation early out on the mound. But if he can limit the damage right here might build some confidence and get him rolling. Torres at second Sanchez at first one gone. Now a ball and a strike hit hard to third and just passed his outstretched glove into left base hit. Bro comes in quickly here and that'll prevent the runner at third from testing things here. I appreciate the moxie right there but three fastballs at this level usually turns into a knock. Giovanni Yorcella as he connects on the first pitch with a fly ball to center catch made in center. Here comes the runner from third played. It's now a two nothing game. Obviously he's hoping for more up there with the bases loaded but you can't be too upset with the second one into the box. Now Mike Tuckman and he has been pardoned the cliche and Fuego of late seen that average shoot up quite a bit over the past eight ball games. Now the pitch.  Cats and dogs insert metaphor here and the forecast is not showing any signs of relief. You know what are the big issues is player safety and right now this field is getting sloppy wet man. And I don't know how much more rain this field can take. Grounder down the line at third but this will wind up a foul ball strike to two men are on with two men out. Not close with that when it's way above the strike zone. Well this is starting to feel like a make or break moment in this game. When you're playing a first place team you can't expect to fall way behind early in the game and then mount a comeback. The one two is swung on and miss strike three. Some more of the colorful characters here at the ballpark tonight. Don't go anywhere. More Tuesday night baseball after this second inning coming up and Heidi Watney has an update for us on the weather forecast. Matt I am hearing that heavier rain is expected to pass to the ballpark at some point later in the game. The umpiring crew would of course like to get this one in uninterrupted. But it is possible that we could be looking at some sort of a delay if they determine the weather is impacting the play on the field. All right Heidi. Thanks. We'll hope for the best of course. The guys you have to assume these players are probably going to be impacted by this weather at least a little. Yeah Matty a hundred percent it's going to be bothersome. They're going to have to watch their spikes. They're going to have to maybe gather themselves to get that extra grip on the baseball. But from a position player standpoint you just can't lose focus. Starting pitchers are the ones that are going to have the most problems with it. The rain starting to intensify here it's coming down a little heavier now we'll see how much longer the umpires can wait. Well you could say that again that it's raining cats and dogs out there. Make sure you don't step in a pool. I think it's time to get the grounds crew out. A count of one and one to the Pirates first baseman into the corner and slicing foul. The one two skied in the air to straight away left. Tachman has him played perfectly as he puts it away for out number one. The third game. Collin Moran. Digging in Collin Moran and you see the numbers there he's been very dangerous at the plate to say the least. Here comes the first pitch and he throws the fastball by him here. Oh and one hung the slider there but laid off for ball one bases are empty one man out. No offer on that one two balls in a strike. This is hit the other way out toward left field base hit. He'll get it in the second and he's able to hustle his way up the second as he'll reach here with a two base hit. Here's Gregory Polanco as he'll take a look at ball one. The average to start play at 315 five homers and 14 driven in a swing and a miss strike one. That was some smoke right there high fire right on by that and the one one pitch. Two one pitches a knuckle curve taken for called strike two.  In comes the left fielder but he won't get there. It falls in and a relay home and they're not going to get him. He's in there at the plate. How frustrating is that Dan? He tries to bury something in with two strikes and this guy throws out a fillet of fish to the opposite field. You know sometimes you have to tip your cap that inside out swing as a pitcher. You think you've thrown a good pitch but sometimes as a hitter they put a good a swing on it and still ends up for a base hit. At the plate Kevin Kramer as he pops the first pitch foul behind the plate. One in one out and one on here in the inning and one here it comes. He leaves that one right over the plate as this is said high and deep out to right center field. And it is gone a home run and good for him. Kevin Kramer has just launched his first major league home run. Hard to say how many more of these he'll hit in his career. For now I'm sure he's happy to say he's got at least one. Well I think that any kid who's ever dreamed about playing this game dreams exactly this. Watching the ball disappear over the fence then circling the bases in a big league ballpark. He'll be replaying that at bat over and over in his head. And now his phone's going to blow up. He'll be calling his parents his buddies. Everybody's going to be talking about this one. That'll bring up Eric Gonzalez. As he'll go after the first pitch to women comes up empty at strike one. Now the pitch and he takes strike two three runs already home here. Thought about it but he holds up on the knuckle curve one and two. Tough pitch to lay off there but he did and it's even up at two and two. He went with the off speed there once he got him the O and two but now that they both missed I think we'll see more of a challenge pitch here. You don't have to give in but you can't be too cute either. And a full count is that misses its three and two now. Wow from O and two to three and two and that last pitch on two and two wasn't even close. He had this guy in the ropes but now he let him right back into this at bat. Still only one out in the inning. A fastball misses their ball four. Two ways to look at this walk if you're the hitting coach you say that's a great A B down O two and you work the walk but if you're a pitcher like me that's just a case of letting a guy up the hook and that can really frustrate you. Set to get his evening at the plate started Jacob Stallings and it's been a real struggle for him with the bats so far this year looking to get things turned around in a hurry. Here comes the first pitch and that misses for ball one runner at first here one man out one ball one strike the count two balls in a strike. Wow that's 40 pitches for him already. This doesn't have the makings of a start that he's going to go very deep. The first call and he'll dive back in safely and this is pop foul but perhaps playable behind first but this will land untouched. Now the two two and he fouls this one off runners on first with one down to change up in there for a called third strike and that's the second out of the inning flat out locked him up with the change up right there. Usually you're trying for a swing and miss when you throw that pitch in a two strike count but clearly he wasn't looking for it so it's a backwards K for him to the plate now. Kevin Newman as the first pitch to him is in there for a called strike one. He was a strikeout victim to open up the ball game. That comes set with the 0 and 1. Well I think he just kind of lost focus on the mound right there. It's clearly not going his way and he's thinking more about that than the task at hand and right now he needs to think about this hitter. Well to me it just looks like he's really aiming the ball a little bit right now and it's funny when you do that you usually don't have as good a control as you do when you just let it go free and easy. Full count now three and two. Three two two out runner on first. Lots of possible outcomes on this pitch off pitch home. And there's a base hit on a line throw comes in quickly from left so even on the hit and run they'll hold things to first and second here. So here's Adam Frazier as it's grounded sharply to first and it'll take this one over to the bag and that ends the inning. They strike for three in the inning two on this two run home run. We'll go to the bottom of the second and Pittsburgh's taken a three to lead and that sends DJ LeMahieu into the box. He'll start us out here in the home half of the second second base. He's taken strike one. Not the ideal location for a change up up in the zone but he got away with it. One and two to DJ LeMahieu. When I broke into the league not many guys were throwing fastball with that much velocity on it. The game has changed lofted in the air out toward right center. Polanco on the run and he tracks it down. Nice play for the first out set to go now look boy and the confidence might be wavering at the moment. Last 10 or so ball games have been a real struggle for him pitch coming. Here it is. And that misses ball one. One out. Nobody on grounded to the right and he'll flip it to the pitcher covering for the out there stepping up to the plate Brett Gardner. Here's the first pitch to him on the first baseline but a foul ball one and one a ball and two strikes. I got to really commend this pitcher right here was able to regroup in between in and something happened in a dugout because he's on point coming out for the second bases are empty here with two men out a swing and a miss as he chased with two strikes and that will retire the side. One two three go to bombers. They're down three to two. Welcome back to the Bronx as we check in with Heidi. Well Matt I talked with Pittsburgh's manager during the inning break about the pirates offensive production to this point and overall he's really happy with the app that's they're putting together. They've been able to push across three runs to this point but they've also made the opposition work extremely hard. He's thrown a lot of pitches and they think they're going to have a good opportunity to push across a lot more runs as he tires or as they get into that bullpen. Thank you Heidi digging in for his second at bat. Brian Reynolds 0 for one for him here in this one. First pitch on its way. He may be down two and 0 after those first two pitches in this AB but those are pitches he can feel pretty good about. They did miss by a whole lot. So it's not like he's all over the place. Just a little bit off to start the third now. That's three straight balls three and one and he lays off their ball for so the leadoff man is on here to begin inning number three. That leadoff walk is a great way to start this inning when you're looking to have the lead could be the beginning of good things here in this half inning. Digging in to try it again. Josh Bell. He flew out in his last at bat. Almost Maddy almost went deep his last AB certainly just missed it with this guy's big power. He's feeling pretty good at the dish. Look for him to try and get on something and drive it out of the yard this AB. No balls in one strike. There's a swing and a miss as he falls behind nothing in two boy he said or cut that fastball. It comes in in the high 90s but that's a dangerous location no matter how hard you're throwing 0 and 2. Here it is. And this one's in the dirt. Good job there is the count goes to one and two open to send him packing pitch on its way still one and two kicks and deals. You can really tell about how effective this guy's going to be when guys are swinging at that change up so far in this one. They've been real smart to let it go. Third inning already a three two ball game. Oh and he botches it to second for one in now Colin Moran and scored a run after stroking a double that is first at bat. Well he got a good pitch to hit last time up. Look for it up in the zone and didn't miss it. Those are the pitches you only get maybe once in AB maybe once a game maybe once a week. So he certainly capitalized on it last time. We're only in the third inning and his pitch count is above 60. That's not being too efficient with your pitches and it's to an own out of Colin Moran. Pretty good pitch right there fastball in off the plate. One of the things you want to do as a pitcher try to stand those hitters up. The two of Gregory Polanco waits on deck as the three oh burns the zone strike one and he misses with that one for ball four. So that'll put runners on first and second now with one away. Yeah the pitching coach would hate to go to the bullpen this early in the game but sometimes you have no choice on the flip side. He might just get in his face a little bit out there try to challenge him wake him up from his funk either way. We'll see how it works. So first and second with one man gone and the left handed hitting outfielder Gregory Polanco bats next. He said here it comes. That was a pretty good fastball after he walked the hitter previous. There was a little angry on that heater. Runners are at first and second with one away behind Owen to now working for the punch out and the offering try to hold back but he won't be able to as that's ruled a swing and there are two away now. Always tough for one of these base umpires to make it on a guy's check swing. It's not a great angle and everything happens so quickly so they really have to be paying attention out there looking at the replay. I think he got it right. So that's a tip of the cap for the blue a ball and no strikes. He's already walked two in this inning already. This guy just can't seem to find the strike so pretty high strike but a strike nonetheless and it's one and one. Hey I don't mind that batter taking that strike right there. He's walked a couple of people early in this game got to find out if he can find his own if he wants to walk them all in we'll take it. Here's the one one. Great chance right here as a hitter to be really aggressive with two guys already on pretty good shot. He's going to get a challenge pitch right here. The set and the two one lying to the right side and that's going to get down out there and now it'll rattle up against the wall. He's in its second safely as also on the play a run comes across to score. Boy this guy's having a great game here so far Dero home run earlier in the night and that base hit right there drives in his third run batted in of this game. Yeah you drive to the park every day hoping your rhythm and timing is on point with that pitchers wind up. That's exactly been the case today. He not only mixed in that big bond but now he's got three rivies to boot. Reach base via the walk in his first plate appearance. Come set the 0 1 in the dirt and block behind the plate. Good job to corral this quickly has the runners hold on second and third two away 1 1 pitch is a slider that's cut on and missed for strike two that runs away from him there and the count levels at two and two that had missed for the third out. Not much of a chance at hitting that one in the inning is over. The Pirates get a run here on the RBI double bottom of the third coming up. It's now for two Pittsburgh scored after reaching on a walk in his first half. Hey we're still in the early stages of this one only down by a couple of runs but it's really key for this lead up guy to try to get on and get a big inning started. Here comes the first pitch. There's a fastball on the inner third taken for a strike that elevated fastball right there. That is the biggest change in the game today for me when I first came up a lot of guys working at Greg Maddox east to west. A ball and a strike. Yankee shortstop behind in the count one and two the one to expect a good pitch to swing it. Count here it comes good patience exercised as he works out to walk to lead off the home half of the third. And don't forget he lost his last time out so he wants to get off on the right foot here. The last thing he wanted was to walk the lead off now with the plate Aaron judge fly down in his first half bat so make him over one so far and the pitch third inning here already four to our score good pitch there down below the zone got him to go after it point not exactly what you'd like as a pitcher one of the keys is to minimize your pitches attack the strike zone early a lot of deep counts and working himself into a lot of trouble the two one hit hard on the ground towards second fair handed for one over the bell for the double play nice job on the mound to bounce back from the lead off those are usually pretty costly but that won't be the case this time after the two ball so here's the cleanup hitter Gary Sanchez no one on base for him after the double play. Yeah Matt that two ball really changed the complexion of this inning. It looked like the middle of the order was going to have a chance to get a big hit with some ducks on the pond. But now they just have to try and get a two out rally started. Now here it comes. Watches a fastball right there for strike one and it's only two to Sanchez to well executed pitches at the knees right there. But I know this hitters looking for something up into the wind up. Here comes the oh two pitch fastball well outside. This is popped up Gonzalez is camped under this one as he puts this one away the side is retired Yanks held in check still down by a count of four to two. So coming to the plate Jacob Stallings he got called out on strikes his last time through yeah always frustrating to go down looking. Everybody does it though. You'll have a few a B's where you get completely fooled. Look for him to be on the back attack early in the setback first pitch on its way just off the outside that time laid off for a ball and he takes a cold strike one. Well it's been a rough one so far for runs through three innings. It's about time to get that pitch count down or he won't be out here very long. One and one here it comes on that fastball is too much born there one and two. Hey no shame in that your eyes light up when that heater comes above the bell that's so tough to lay off of two balls and two strikes the count of the Pirates catcher. So you'd love for him to offer at that one but the execution was flawless. Nice curveball that starts in the zone and breaks just out just a great take by the batter the wind up ready with the payoff pitch well right back at him and it hit him but he is able to recover as he gets the out at first one away now opportunity now to take a look at some of the future players in the Yankee organization as our road to the show report spotlights a couple of guys that have been playing well in recent action into the box now Kevin Newman as the first pitchers have been high it's ball one. He's working on a one for two games so far the 1 0 on the ground to the right side. Mayhew's got it and there's out number two and that will bring in Adam Frazier over two on his line this far. Ready with the first pitch here it comes and here's a fastball called for strike one. It's been a little bit of a rough outing for this guy and this one so far. And one thing you can look at if you want to get really picky less than 60 percent of his first pitches have been for strikes can't get him to chase it's one and two stone cold take right there that fastball very well could have sent him packing back to the bench lifted in the air at the center field on this deflects right off him the throw into second and a good effort to bring it back in quickly but he's in its second base with a double. Everyone knows that this guy's numbers are not where he wants them to be so far this year but you never know by that swing he looked fluid and confident driving that pitch for a double. We'll see if that gets him going a bit. So now to the play Brian Reynolds as he'll look at a fastball too high for ball one. He's 0 for 1 thus far base hit into the left center field gap throw into second throw to second and he's out. But one run does come into score on the play before the inning comes to an end. But the Pirates get a run here on the RBI double bottom of the fourth coming up now five to Pittsburgh batters box next will be Jim Carlos Stanton he swings and hits it fouled off to the right and out of play base hit in his first trip and he takes this one high one and one. That was a tempting pitch to swing at right there a big power guy like this really wants something that he can elevate and drive out of the ballpark.  Now the two one and he comes back with one down and in for ball three. Geo or Shella will be next halfway to a hundred pitches here it is.  But this will land untouched and that misses for ball four to lead off walk that starts the bottom of the fourth. Well the reason power hitters generally draw more walks and other guys is exactly what we saw right there. Pictures work around them and nibble the corners a lot more so they don't get burned. He made some good pitches but he just couldn't get him to chase enough out of the zone at the plate. Geo or Shella picked up an RBI on a sack fly in his experience as a look now the pitch. Now this is the kind of count this guy feeds on at the plate you can bet he's here to hit the fastball right here back up the middle. Oh and he can't pick it up cleanly. And the recovery is too late as he's able to beat the throw to first. You grind to get count leverage every time you step to the plate and hit it to full advantage. Good looking swing right there for the base not now Mike and he puts it on the ground a second one there on the first but not in time as he beats it out in the box now. DJ LeMayhew and their runners at the corners now first delivery to him on the way and a ball one and all. Hey this is spot as a pitcher right now you want to get a little bit greedy. Ideally be to roll up the two ball if worse try to get yourself to strike out lofted in the air out toward right center. Makes the catch but the runner from third breaks for home and get one back with the sack flies it's now a five to three ball game. Digging in now for the Yankees look boy he's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far ready with the first pitch here it comes that's a human element at a game right there umpires are going to miss a couple calls it's the pitchers ability to stay composed and grind that's going to make him successful today swing and a liner foul one one is strike two swinging one and two good swing on a tough pitch and he'll stick around to see another one trying to pick up that outside corner but this misses and it's back to even at two balls and two strikes breaking ball well inside and taken for ball three well this has been a good at that he's now worked to count full the three and two it allows the runner on first pitch away over to the bag and the runner back safely takes ball four so a good job out of the nine hole and getting on base as we go back to the top of the order he did not want to let the hitter off the hook with two outs and now he's got a runner in scoring position to deal with another shot now Brett Gardner two men on two away here in the fourth three runs four hits and no errors for the Yankees so far and he misses with it one and one out of the Yankees leadoff man it's one thing to get hit around but it's far worse when you're getting yourself into trouble by not throwing strikes every pitchers been there but it doesn't make it any less frustrating or unacceptable three and one now to Brett Gardner well two on two outs and he's got himself in a great hitters count just has to be careful not to get too aggressive walk would be good here too that the deal here's the three one and he misses again ball four and that's back to back guys now that have reached base via the base on ball I think he was trying to be a little too fine there in a walk is the result well the good news is he has a force at every base the bad news a single probably drives in a couple of runs Torrez as he'll look to bring home that tying run from second with the base hit into the outfield first pitch of the at bat this is on the ground as short as he going to get out of this maybe not as this is there I spoke too soon he beats it out at first I think he took it for granted there a bit probably thought he had it in the bag and he just lost concentration for a minute now his pitcher has to pick him up with two outs stepping into the box Aaron judge as he's got a chance to tie this ballgame up with that equalizing run just 90 feet away at third delivery to him on the way so important gig ahead with the base is loaded already a difficult situation so you don't want to make it any harder by falling behind in the count he said the 0 1 base is loaded and it's a ballman two strikes now Aaron judge a strike away now from getting out of this mess sometime pitching is all about minimizing right so keeping it to two runs across in the inning would be huge now this fourth inning has really been a struggle for him nothing seems to be going his way right now and a swing and a miss here so it took him 31 pitches but the side is finally retired so they do strike for two but it could have been much worse as they strand the bases loaded on to the top of any number five we go it's the Pirates five and the Yankees four going up Josh Bell he's hit listen is to add that so far well he's still out there to start the fifth inning but it's been a real grind of the start for him the pitch count is much higher than he'd like it to be so it's hard to imagine him working really deep into this game one strike now from Cole late decision to swing that time and as a result it's 0 and 2 obviously he's not fatiguing whatsoever still in the mid to high 90s with his fastball these guys got to stay on the attack if they're going to have a chance slider is laid off on the inside as it just misses the zone the 1 2 ball that's in the dirt that time and it's back to even now at 2 and 2 keep in mind people the longer the bat the higher the likelihood that this becomes his last inning now the 2 2 is swung on and missed he got him well there's nothing like seeing a good power pitcher that has a good fastball does he do he just throws his good fastball right by brings the Express no chance to put that ball in play stepping in now Colin Moran as he will look at a first pitch fastball for ball one and here in just the fifth inning this will be pitch number 100 here boy pitch count up near 100 right now Dero and this is when you try to get to a good starting pitcher right now looks like he's running on fumes. Yeah the manager's got to get a couple of people up in the bullpen right now one ball hits the gap they get runners in scoring position this game could be out of commission Natched out of midair at first base for route number two now that the right field Gregory Polanco digging in once again Gregory Polanco one for two he singled and struck out in two trips first pitch of the at bat on its way and this is taken outside for ball one and he misses again two and oh I'd be real surprised if he goes back out away there on the mound. This is a count for a fastball challenge and we'll see if he's ready for it in the box. Here he comes on two and oh in there two and one five runs seven hits and one error in the contest for the Pirates so far three balls and a strike to Gregory Polanco. This is a good at bat so far here with two away if you're going to go down one two three at least make the guy work for it. He's doing that and he's even gotten himself into a good hitters count now and Paul that should have been ball four there but it's a called strike and that runs things full at three and two and this one misses high for ball four and they have themselves a two out base runner. That was a great battle right there. He tried to get him to chase but he laid off some really tough pitches and got to walk. Got to tip the cap to the batter that time. Ready once again Kevin Kramer will try to follow up the double in his last act that with another big hit right here. Yeah give me a repeat performance of that last double with a man on first right now. Let him run get you a change up called strike one two out with the man at first below the zone is swinging a miss down 0 2 maybe simplify the game plan right here. Get on the heater even though he has five weapons to go to try to get him to go after one below the knees but it's one and two and he lays off the fast ball away. So it's two and two now he started this guy backwards couple of off speed pitches early followed by back to back heaters. He can go either way he wants to go right now. Now the two two good spot for an RBI put the ball in play with the runner in motion. He could score all the way from first and this is foul tipped as he stays alive here. But meanwhile that ball came right back at our home plate umpire and he may need some attention at this moment. I fly ball out to straight away center. Gardner is there makes the catch and that'll retire the side. Fair to say. Oh my goodness. These folks are not headed for a career on Broadway. Back with more here on a Tuesday night after this Stephen Brault is going to come on in relief as he'll be making his 20th appearance of the season. Next for New York. Gary Sanchez a hit in two tries so far. Flipper. Here's the first pitch and a cut fastball in there for a strike. It's 0 and 1. He'll be fine coming out of the bullpen in this one if he can keep the ball around the knees like that. The wind up and the 0 1 behind 0 and 2 now thinking to count and the pitch fastball called strike 3 and there's the first out of the inning. So in his day over now you get a look at the final pitching line for the Pittsburgh starter. Not the night he or his club were hoping for. Yeah he was really frustrated and out of rhythm in this one. Unfortunately I'm sure he's frustrated right now and he will be for a while. But the good news is that the guys are still in the game. The offense is picking them up in field in the over shift here now the pitch. Giancarlo Stanton stands in as he looks at bowl one here is swung on and miss strike one one one home. Inside with that one a pretty easy take there three two counts are usually a time to challenge the hitter but I think he'll be careful here shoot for the corner and if you miss and you walk him so what that's better than him putting one in the seats. A offer from Stanton it's ball four so he'll head down to first. Well you never want to issue a free pass if you can help it. But when a hitter like that digs in you'd rather he's standing at first and driving a ball out of here and erasing your one run lead settling in now. Geo or Shella first pitch of the at bat moving to his left and he makes the catch for the second now. That's exactly what they wanted out of that pitch up of the zone. They took him up the ladder and he couldn't get up to it so that was an easy pop up well executed pitch there and digging in Mike Tuckman. He reached on a fielder's choice previously with the first pitch here it comes runner on first with two away much too tardy on the fastball one and one it's not easy to get your barrel to a pitch that high. That could be an effective location as long as he keeps it above the letters the one one home is taken for ball two. You know he's probably cheating on that inside pitch after he got jammed earlier if you're on the mound right now you want to try to hit that outside corner and there's a pretty good chance you'll get him to roll over something to one home down the left field line and deep and that will end up a foul ball swing and a miss and that ends the inning both teams battling the elements thus far but we've got a tight game through five. Don't go anywhere more Tuesday night baseball after this. Chad Green takes over to start the sixth inning on the mound new winning shot to get underway stepping in Eric Gonzalez he went down on strikes last time up and you can live with punching out with the bases empty but in his last at bat with two runners in scoring position you cannot go down not putting the ball in play too much on the line too many ribby opportunities out there to swing and miss in that spot and it looks like the Yankees will have a left hander up and throwing in the bullpen 1 0 pitch offered a low one there but came up empty. Good luck with that pitch that pitches an absolute nightmare almost unhittable nasty downward action high eighties velocity and that misses two and one. Here's the pitch. It's been a great job so far by the eight hole hitter if he finds a way to get on base this could spell for a huge and three one swing and a miss and that'll fill the count at three and two. It's becoming more and more common in today's game to see relievers like this that can run it up there close to a hundred miles per hour but it's so fun to watch it. He blew it right by him there tough pitch to layoff but he did and it's ball for so the leadoff hitters aboard to start the sixth Jacob Stallings will be the next hitter. Here's the first offering and now a bunch attempt here as he gets this one down and it's not in time as he's in well ahead of the throw throw is too late so the sacrifice attempt turns into a base hit. Well he took a risk with the decision to throw the second instead of taking the sure out at first. Not sure if someone was yelling for him to go to second but we know now it was the wrong call. Next will be the designated hitter. Kevin Newman. He's got a hit in three at bats to this point. Comes the first pitch to low one and oh look now the pitch and he fires in a strike this time to make it one ball and one strike. Great job of doubling up on the fastball inside.  This guy's not afraid to pitch inside. It's one and two. I think his eyes lit up when he saw that pitch coming up at his eye level. Oh you think if you've got a good fastball like he does that location can be really effective. It looks so tempting to the hitter but making contact on that pitch can be very tough. Nice job to keep the runners at bay as the count moves to two and two ready now to strike pitch on its way doesn't chase after the splitter and he works it back to a full count. I don't think he can afford another base runner here. So whatever pitch he feels best about whichever one he feels most comfortable with that's the one to expect him to turn to that swung on and lifted down the left field line. Left fielder is on the move and he tracks it down. Nice play for the first down Moore Adam Frazier is working on a one for three thus far first offering on its way the 1 0 misses for the second ball got to find a way to execute either a good fastball down the way or flip something off speed for a strike. You cannot miss over the harder plate in these situations. The hitter is on high alert and he gets this fastball over it's 2 and 1. You know he fell behind 2 0 Matty but he battled right there and got right back in this count an aggressive fastball middle of his own. He's set and the 2 1 pitch late swing there at the breaking ball must have been looking for something else. Here's the 2 2 first and second now one man out he misses with that one ball for and that's going to load the bases now with still only one away stepping up now Ryan Reynolds. He was thrown out at second trying to stretch a base hit into a double than its last step back. Yeah fellas not sure if he got to go ahead from his base coach or not. Can't believe he did but it looked like he was running in mud right there and he turns on one sending it high and deep to right. It's a grand slam. So he promptly unloads the bases with that one fourth home run for him on the season as is now a five run cushion. Wow you can understand what the pitchers thinking. He doesn't have an empty base and he needs to get ahead of the count. All he wants to do is get that first pitch over for a strike but the batter knew the same thing and he jumped all over it smashed to get into seats for a four run blast. Louis Sessa will come on in relief now as he'll make his 10th appearance of the season to look at a slider that runs in too far for ball one. He's hitless in three at bats to this point. Here's another one of strike Sessa a right hander who stands in even six feet. He's a five year vet at the Major League level four runs here in this half inning a ball and two strikes now off a pitch outside as they draw even a two and two. Here's the pitch fouled off. Here comes the two to pitch the ball sliced out of play down the left field line ready with another two to pitch popped up sent chance right to God stepping in and ready for another shot Colin Moran a hit and two tries for him so far. Here comes the first pitch Nope. No one out nobody on swing and a miss look like the slider there a ball and a strike swing and a shot hit down the corner and that's going to wind up hooking just a bit there's also a missed opportunity there the one to boy that's a tough pitch to lay off right there just out of the strike zone but listen when you're a 300 hitter you don't chase a lot of those so called pitchers pitches this guy knows the strike zone too high ball three that was kind of a gift to the hitter he's up there probably thinking of protecting on two and two but when you launch a ball that high out of the strike zone it's obviously going to be a hit and now that will hop over the wall so he'll be at second here with two away on a ground rule double pretty good swing right there is he drives this ball deep one hops over the wall and he could just walk in the second base with a ground rule double the plate now Gregory Polanco as he lays off a fastball too low for ball one two out here in a runner at second good slider there but laid off and called the ball low now I found this guy right here why not first base is open walk wouldn't be the worst thing in this spot here he comes on two and oh outside three and oh now now he spins on one here and drives it to deep right field so it's a two run dinger for Gregory Polanco sixth home run on the season for him as this is now a seven run ballgame another excellent swing right there that's multiple home runs in the same inning watch for the heart and the plate Kevin Kramer swing and lift the ball foul off to the left and out of play so far two for three in this one no one ripped down the line and this will stay inside the third base bag a fair ball the hustlers way up the second as you'll reach here with a two base hit the back number he just smoked this ball right down the line and take a look here hard to tell if it was fair or foul in the first place but you could see it flies right over the bag ump was all over it and made a great call into the box now Eric Gonzalez and she'll take a change up here for strike one he's ready here's the 0 1 and it's fouled away well somebody's sitting off speed right here only way he was laid on that heater as he was expecting another change up and strike three there as the side is retired all told ten men come to the plate here six of them score to the bottom of the sixth inning it's the Pirates 11 and the Yankees four here's the second baseman DJ to make you he'll try and do what he can to work for cutting into this big deficit this one doesn't look good so far down by a boatload as we enter the middle innings it's about time they get something going and the last thing you want to do is fall behind where you have to score a bunch in the eighth and ninth inning action now in that pirate bullpen as a left hander starts to heat up down there that's wide to an old well he knows it but this is the kind of guy you just have to go right after he's not the biggest threat with the bat so it's time to challenge him right here three oh and that one misses so the leadoff man will head down to first on ball four to start the bottom of the sixth and that's what you want from your leadoff hitter shows some great patience and making the pitcher labor to start the game the result is a leadoff walk and a chance to make some early noise riding in once again look void it was a walk in his last trip ready to deliver here's the first pitch starts him out with a changeup off the plate for ball one all you want is the leadoff man to get on to start a big inning maybe get a big rally going to claw your way back into this ballgame nobody outrun her first and two and oh is this one's taken low void playing here in his age 29 season he was taken in the 22nd round back in the draft of 2013 man coming out of the late rounds you have to grind for everything nothing is given to you and this guy has turned himself into a very solid big league ball player that's a big accomplishment to two and two now hey boys you talking about getting your A swing off right here that's what it looks like a guy with massive power letting it eat he stays alive still two and two with no outs here another foul ball the two two one more time is offered at and missed he chased it for strike three well that's just a quality pitch right there the location was excellent because if it's put in play there's a good chance it's on the ground for a double play and hey it's strikeout always works to so here's the veteran Brett Gartner as he'll go after the first pitch and bounce it into foul territory a hidden two at bats for him at this point in the ball game no one and this is high of all in a strike one and two now is that one's fouled off from the belt the pitch lays off the one to change up and he's worked it back to two and two hey he threw that pitch with the purpose to get a double play good job to let it go by though as a hitter two two and this one's in the dirt but it won't skip away far enough for the runner to advance runner at first year one man out and that misses ball four so it's first and second now with only one away man that's just painful for a pitcher right there a three to offering that was right on the corner but he couldn't get him to chase and he doesn't get the call can't beat yourself up about that with too much and that'll bring up Glibertura Oh for one with a run scored thus far ready to deliver here's the first pitch and they start him out away with a cold strike with some traffic on the base pads nice job by the pitcher to execute strike one line drive to left that's in their base hit and they'll hold that runner a third as everybody moves up a base and they're loaded with one away nice piece of hitting right there look like the guy on second had to respect it and freeze a little bit he had to freeze there for a second to make sure that line drive gets down but eventually does get the third base first pitch of the at bat Aaron judge stands in as he looks at a called strike bases are loaded with only one out right in there and he's ahead oh two now just way too patient in this situation with the bases loaded like this this is your chance to be the hero the oh two pitch and a strike three called my gracious what a pitch with the bases loaded and there are two away now pretty clear he didn't like the call there on the outside part of the plate but probably too good to take and he's down on strikes for the second time yeah that pitch was right on the black beautiful pitch and even if we had robot arms he still be out but the only difference would be he wouldn't be able to complain about it so now to the plate Gary Sanchez as the first pitch to him is off the plate for a ball one or no into center field for a base hit one run is scored and the second run will score as well Dan from a pitcher standpoint that's a backbreaker two out to RBI base right there awfully frustrating you're trying to make some good pitches you get two outs and all of a sudden give up that big base hit that drives into frustrating for a pitcher the plate Giancarlo Stanton as the change up to him drops in there for the first strike and we'll see what he can do here two on two away to home so far this inning comes set and the 0 1 man he just missed the zone right there one of the toughest pitches in the game that backdoor cutter as an offensive player you give up on that pitch as soon as it comes out of the hand next thing you know it's trying to grab the corner and this is going to wind up as extra bases as that will play one for sure and maybe a second as he arrives at second without a play as well score on the play as well so much of this game is situational hitting guys nice job there yeah you've got to find a way to pick your teammates up when you're given a chance and he doesn't try to do too much right here he just takes what's there safely on second and his buddy is high fiving teammates in the dugout like Cedarland trots in from the bullpen here as he inherits a tough spot with two on and two away to the plate now this is driven out to deep right center this could be trouble and this is going to find the wall out near the Yankee bullpen he pulls into second safely as they also score a pair of runs on the play just goes to show you if you're going to throw that to see fast all the way which I don't think is the best pitch anyway you better start that thing out of the zone and let it work its way back to the corner with this one it started out on the corner so I think back right over the heart of the plate and got black pulls the string on that one one strike under the plate the 0 1 tough spot to hit here as a hitter you have a base open so you have to almost be trying to think like the pitcher is he going to try to pitch around me or is he going to come in the strike zone runner in scoring position at second with two down air out to center field Reynolds is on the move for it he tracks it down and that will end the inning nine men come to the plate however five of them score seventh inning coming up Bucks out in front eleven to nine digging in now Jacob Stallings no hits in three tries so far he's struck out once first pitch on its way pitch to lay off of but he did somehow and he's got it to three and one and just when you needed to shut down inning a lead off walk was certainly not on the agenda he needs a bear down right here and a good take there is they'll have a lead off man aboard to start the seventh it's ball for now back to the top of the lineup stepping in Kevin Newman comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day first pitch of the at bat on its way hit weekly back to the mound he's got it Tora is at the back so that one wasn't quite hit sharply enough to turn to yeah choppers like that make it really tough you can't make the ball get to you much faster so the key is making sure you feel that cleanly and at least get one which they did there digging in Adam Frazier first delivery to him on the way runners on first with one down that evens it up one and one kicks and deals in close games like this base runners mean everything so he can ill afford to start giving away free passes three one and he lays off here a nice job it's ball for first and second now with one away right about now the manager is questioning his decision to bring this guy in if you can't trust a reliever to throw strikes you can't trust him at all you'll see if he comes to get him sooner than later exactly Britain comes on to pitch here with one man gone in the top of the seventh number fifty three we flash you back to ending number six and this was certainly a big blow in this one a grand slam as he left no doubt about that one pitch coming here it is for a base hit now it's cut off a throw to the plate and this will not be close and the run will score easily. Hey Dero that's a big RBI right there to stretch this lead to three takes a lot of pressure off your picture going into the bottom part of the inning. Yeah Dan no doubt as an offense all you're trying to do is put your pitchers in positions to be successful giving them that three run cushion has to make you feel that the plate now Josh Bell this he'll take a look at a pitch too low it's ball one that looked to be well inside but it's a called strike two and one now spot to be in right now pitchers fall behind an account with a guy up that hits really well with runners in scoring position and this is on the ground as short could be to the Mayhew for one on the void and ending ending in double play pirates get just one and that's all on now to the bottom of ending number seven pirates on top twelve to nine off the inning D.J. Mayhew and they'll need him to get something going here offering on its way lying toward the gap in left center and that's a base hit one for two in his first couple of plate appearances. Hey excellent job right there leading off the inning with a base hit. We've got to keep this line moving. We cannot stop. Nobody can make it out. We have to find a way to put two men maybe three men put some pressure on this thing in now. Look boy as he'll try to hold back on the swing but he went around for the first strike. No hits to this point that's in there and he's deep in the hole now 0 and 2 tried to get him to go after the slider but it's one and two about the pitch on the ground is short this could be two scooped up the second for one on the first and that's the very last thing they needed at this point in the ballgame as there are quickly two away now so bases empty now after the double play and next to battle be the outfielder Brett Gardner becomes set. Here's the nothing and nothing pitch lays off one and oh obviously the game plan wasn't to let this guy beat you right here. He's already walked twice in that pitch out of the zone tells me they want nothing to do with him the 1 0 home fly ball after straight away left left fielder is on the move he tracks it down and that will end the inning down in order go the Yankees still looking up at a 12 9 score trying to pick things up where he left off Colin Moran he came across to score after doubling in his last at bat and he's got to build off that last day be he battled usually when you battle you get in that swing mode a lot of pitches you'll swing at the rosin back. I love the fact that he was able to work a double in last at bat. Let's see if we get more of the same right here and a sinkers in there for a called strike and he forges ahead nothing in two with this one almost in the books. The story was clearly the long ball. What are your thoughts on this offense fellas. Well Matty V I don't know what your thoughts are D-roll but boy the weather starts to warm up and the ball starts jumping out like this. It's clear that the pitchers need to start making better pitches. Yeah just great approach. No one really chased today really stayed staunch on their ability to get that pitcher to come into the heart of the plate and they did damage with it swing and a miss on the slider and that's out number one. Well this has been a bullpen game for some time now but let's go back and review the performances of the two starters neither of whom turned in and outing to remember like Gregory Polanco. He's two for three and looking for more here. Going back to that last A B that was the express that was an upper 90s fastball that he turned around. So I think with this guy you might want to try to incorporate some more off speed pitches. Ball one to start the at bat high in the air at the center field Gartner on the move. He gets there and makes a fine running play for the second now.   I think it's about time to choke up on a bat and get that foot down. He's awfully tardy right now. I had him reaching a thin air that time and he's very quickly down 0 and 2. Man this guy's been locked in all game long. I don't know where that ugly swing just came from. Here it comes 0 and 2 a swing and a miss at a sinker the strikeout retires the side inning is over down in order go the pirates. It's still a 12 9 ballgame Kyle Crick is on a pitch out of a bullpen in the bottom half of the eighth at the plate. Torres one for two in the ballgame thus far ready with the first pitch. Here it comes. Hey there's an old saying in baseball you need to take a strike in this spot. Well he got one there now he just needs to find a way to get on. He said here's the 0 1 and it's 1 and 1. Complaint about that one. That's a strike and it's one and two sky down the left field line and they can't run it down the next one to pitch and a good bite to that slider as he swings through it for the first out of the inning. Good job of making him chase a pitch for the strikeout there. Yeah man that's the advantage of getting in the count. You can really force hitters to expand their zone to protect and when they're in that mode getting them to go after a pitch they can't do much with becomes a lot easier and that'll bring up Aaron Judge as the first pitch misses to him it's ball one got to find a way to scratch at least one across you do not want to take on the monster closing the game down three ready with the 1 0 pitch that one bends into the zone a strike on the breaking ball bases are empty one man out takes one off the inside corner for ball two now the 2 1 pitch good opposite field power here taken high and deep to right back goes Polanco at the track on the warning track he makes the catch now batting catcher Gary Stratting forward now the Yankee cleanup hitter Gary Sanchez only four outs remaining for them to try and rally back in this one the first pitch to him on its way the 0 1 pitch and boy big problems here to start this at bat it's 0 1 2 now we that was an ugly swing I'm sure he's not going to watch that one on replay after the game and a slider swung on and missed in the side is retired for the Yankees go 1 2 3 still looking up at a 12 9 score Jonathan Holder enters from the pen to start the ninth inning as he'll try to keep the score right where it is heading to the bottom of the ninth kicking off the top of the ninth Eric Gonzalez as they look for some added insurance before the bottom half of the inning first offering on its way ninth inning underway now is the first pitch is taken for a cold strike hopped up void over to his left one down the bat the catcher Jacob Stalin up next for the buck goes Jacob Stollings first pitch of the at bat on its way didn't quite catch the zone there ball one one out nobody on well hit but also well fouled into the seats and left the one to his put in play to the right side of the infield throw on to first to go to the plate now for Pittsburgh is the DH Kevin Newman and looking to improve on a one for five efforts so far here comes the first pitch they'll try and entice him with a high fast ball but he wouldn't commit it's ball one you know something to keep in mind they're really burning through that bullpen and this is only the first game of the series definitely could have an impact on the rest of the series and maybe even the whole week ahead two balls and no strikes to the Bucks DH lets it fly to an O but this one's by him for the first strike faces are empty here with two men out that one's down around the knees taken for a strike to two all of the umpires in the seats thought that would strike three and they weren't far off but I think that was a good call look to be just a bit outside the three two picks to third throw on to Voight takes care of him and the ending is over nothing across here this half of the inning nothing in the Pittsburgh ninth last chance for the Yankees they trail it here by three the only killer enters the game to finish this one off here in the bottom of the ninth starting forward now is the DH Giancarlo Stanton it was an RBI double for him in his last turn to the plate a not impossible but highly improbable even when you're at home to score three runs off a closer like this guy they've got the work cut out for him one and no pitch on the way and that's in there for his strike one and one great pitch right there that is a huge breaking ball not shocked he took it got a calibrate that one for a second and here's a fastball not close as he runs it to two and one now now the pitch easy there big fella two and two got him to chase after the curveball below the zone there that was a really nice pitch and it can be a really tough one to lay off of as a hitter set the deal on two and two you know you don't always have to straight challenge a guy on a three to count with the three run lead know what on base this is the perfect situation to do it no reason nibble and possibly set up a beginning and the payoff pitch grounder hit hard down the first baseline but this will get foul so they'll do it again three and two swing and a drive to center field that one's got a chance Reynolds is on the move for it to the track off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton number eleven for him on the season as this lead has been sliced down to two my friends is a cardinal sin for any closer you can't give up the long ball good thing for him he still has the lead we'll see now if he can rebound and actually keep it your shell out so take a look at ball one so far two for three in this one under no delivery and I believe they'll say he broke the plane as yes he did it's rule to strike things things up bottom and he got him to swing through it one and two now popped him up Kramer waits on it and he hauls it in for the first out of the inning now that no left field into the box Mike Tokman it was a flyout for him in his last trip from the stretch Kella playing here in his age 26 season this is his sixth season for him in the big leagues bases are empty one man out foul tip held on to behind the plate at strike two protecting on own two so we'll do it again there's a fastball well off the plate for a ball got him and that's the third time we've written a K next to his name in this one this inning didn't get started the way he'd hope with that home run but I've got to give him credit for watching it and coming back here to get strikeouts on the last two guys he's acting like it didn't even happen before into the box DJ LeMay here as you'll watch a first pitch curveball drop in there for strike one he's one for two in this one he went to nothing in one pitch good pitches this is swung on and missed it now they're down to perhaps their final strike of the evening I know this guy has a lot of weapons on the mound but what makes him so successful is that he's aggressive in his own getting ahead forcing action last chance for the ball good waste pitch one and two this is on the ground over to first and he'll step on first for the out in the ball game is over well that was a fun one to watch a great game for guys with the sticks but for pitchers not so much a classic slugfest and they walk away on top of the end 12 to 10 is the final score in this one the Pittsburgh Pirates took the lead in the second inning and rode that until the very end Stephen Braun claims the win out of the pen his first Keone Kella closes the door for the save his ninth of the year so that just about does it for Mark Derosa Dan please act Heidi Watney and our entire crew I'm Matt Vaskers and you've been watching MLB the show for more make your way over to the

We can use tipping light cones to show how all objects, unfortunate enough to cross the event horizon, are captured forever. Here's a light cone far from the black hole. The horizontal axis represents distance from the singularity. As we saw earlier, when space-time is curved by the presence of mass energy, the light cone structure gets distorted. When the mass is a black hole, the tilting reaches 45 degrees at the event horizon. This means that all events beyond the horizon are no longer in the future light cone for any object that has gone past it. No possible world line gets you out. All remaining world lines lead to the singularity. Distance from the singularity decreases inside the black hole's horizon as surely as time increases outside the horizon. In Interstellar, Cooper flies his ship into the black hole while Brand watches from a higher orbit. We can use our space-time diagram along with light cone bending again to illustrate what each of them would have seen. First we'll take a look at it from Cooper's point of view. As he heads directly into Gargantua, he sees periodic signals from Brand. She is far enough away from the horizon for her light signals to all travel in a parallel manner at 45 degrees along her light cone boundary. Cooper crosses the event horizon without even noticing it as signals continue to arrive at regular intervals. Eventually, he will feel the tidal forces of the singularity. Now things are quite different from Brand's point of view. As Cooper approaches the event horizon, his light cone tips towards the singularity. This means that his light signals back to Brand are taking longer with each kilometer traveled. The effect is hyperbolic and the light signal he sends from the horizon itself will never get to Brand. She sees his clock slowing down to the point that it stops. She never sees him enter the black hole. What's more, because of gravitational redshift, the image of Cooper and his ship shift to the red. At the horizon, it has shifted into the infrared and can no longer be seen by Brand. For her, Cooper grinds to a halt and goes invisible. Quite different from what Cooper sees.


I think that this panel has shown how complex is the situation, because Aminata has emphasized the fact that we have no solution for the informal sector, and it has been revealed by the pandemics, and we have social instability, inequalities, poverty growing, yet the same Aminata has said, we are now far better aware of our own strengths and what we have to do to be more independent. So it's very contrasted. Nicolas even gave us some elements of optimism on the fact that a crisis is not equal to the rise of populism and irrationality, non-rational policies that we see other ways and better governance. And I think that many of you have underlined the fact that we have made progress of governance, of cooperation. In a strong formula, Aminata has said multilateralism has died during the pandemics. I think it's important that it's seen that way in Africa, because it's not seen the same way in the rest of the world, where you could have had a feeling of better cooperation. But even in Africa, what we have seen is a better African Union governance, collective governance, which means that our multilateralism at the level of the continent has usually progressed. And you would not have had the SDR allocation at a record level, if you didn't have had the African Union driven by President Trama Fosa in a dialogue with the European Union, and especially the president of France and the chancellor of Germany in a Friday of April 2020. So in some cases, we had some progress of governance. But I would say the governance in a continent like Africa, both domestically and collectively for the Union, has made huge progress. And the capacity of dialogue with the IMF or with the European Union, which is without any precedent, they would like that we remain on this note. And again, you've seen that in terms of the risk of inflation, or the opportunity of a small inflation move has been a bit unanimous as not being that much of a threat. And you have a panoply of probably a policy instrument in order to monitor the new pattern of recovery. So I would like to remain on this note, positive note. And thank you very much for having given this, delivered this message today. Thank you all. Thank you.
