Mr. Tata, thank you for taking the time to be here. One of the questions I wanted to ask you is that as we look at the youth, as we look at shaping India, there's a certain integrity. There's a certain ethos that we want to develop over time. And one of the things that Tata House is known for is its integrity and ethos. In what way has it been integrated? You've been there since you were young. In what way was it integrated into you? In what way do you take it to the next generation? Well, I think the integrity was embedded in the organization over 100 years ago. Maybe at a time when without integrity, a company would be considered to be unacceptable. Today, that's a little different. And when I returned from the US, which is partly an accident, I had the role model of J.R.D. Tata, who lived absolutely by the tenets of integrity that the founding fathers had left behind. And there was no issue of any deviation from it. He didn't himself deviate, nor did he accept anybody else who would deviate. So it was deeply ingrained in the organization throughout. All I did when I took over was protected, because I felt that needed vigorously to be protected, because that is what made us different. You just said something. You came back accidentally. What did you mean by that? When I finished college, the only thing I looked forward to was going where it was warm and not cold. And that wasn't the accident. I worked in Los Angeles for a period of time. Very happy there, doing very well and monetarily. My grandmother fell ill and asked for me, and I returned and never went back to the U.S. So that was the accident. OK. You were just saying that that was the norm at that time. It may not be so today. So when you look at the young people, the possibility that there is for India, what is your feeling when you look at young companies? What do you feel they have? And what do you feel they should keep? Maybe I can answer your question by deviating a bit from the answer. Being at this event today, and events like this, I have a sense of great remorse. Remorse that I'm in my 70s and not in my 40s. Because at this point in time, and the young people are coming into their own and having an opportunity to express themselves, to innovate, to establish enterprises. And that's terrific. And that's what I would have loved to participate in. And I'm sorry that our ages are different. Well, thank God you're mentally only 30. So you've got a long ways to go. The problem is, to be frank, that if you don't try to regulate yourself and say that your time is up, who is to tell you that your memory is fading, or that you're getting a little senile, or that you're getting hard of hearing, or that you don't see very well? So the best thing is to move aside and leave way for the young people who are going to be the future of this country to have their head. And I think that's why an event like this and what you're doing to encourage the young people is music to my ears. X-Prize has struck me as being a tremendously strong motivator of innovation. In every way, X-Prize is a tremendous motivator of today's times. And I hope that the momentum that Peter's been able to create will continue and accelerate over the years, not only in the US, but now in India as we brought it here. So Xenia, to continue on that, we brought X-Prize to India. You're leading the efforts here. What would you like to see happen? What would you like to have this prize do in the Indian X-Prize? I'm hoping that over the next few years, we're able to launch a few prizes in different sectors, addressing what now seems impossible in water, in energy, in how we view and deal with waste, possibly in corruption, women's issues. So hopefully, I'd like to see those few prizes come to fruition pretty quickly. But the prize is one part of the equation. The thing that really makes the prize work are the innovators, the teams that apply to compete for the prize. And I'm really hoping to see innovators from all parts of this country, both geographically and from all strata of society, economic strata especially, I would consider, in understanding what your success statement is also important to examine and what you don't want. So I would hate to see an X-Prize where the teams were only from the IITs, were only from the R&D departments of big organizations, big companies. That would actually be kind of a failure. But it would be wonderful to see young innovators, old innovators, innovators that come from the rising billion innovators that come from rural areas. And then, of course, the challenge for us at X-Prize is how do we level the playing field so that those innovators can truly participate? Because it's good enough to say you have to apply and then you get in. But it's a lot more than that. So how do we at X-Prize, especially in India, how do we level the playing field so that innovators from a rural part of India, from rural Kenya, who are competing for a prize in India, can truly play on the same level as a team from IIT? So that's what I'd really like to see. The other thing is, what a prize is usually, we know about the purse, what you get. But one of the things that X-Prize does very great, in a great way, is defining the problem itself. So you want to tell us a little bit about how you go about doing that. Sure. At X-Prize, we call ourselves solution agnostic. We don't care. We don't care at all whether it's an app, it's a device. It sits on your head, it's hardwired into your brain. It's a nano chip that's inserted in your wrist or it's something that you drag around the streets of Bombay, right? So we really don't care what the solution looks like. We are more interested in defining the problem in a way that is broad enough to attract crazy ideas and crazy solutions. So give me, we are going to see a couple of people later. So maybe you can tell us how you define the problem for the LunarX, Google LunarX, how did you define it? Well, the process is very long to come to this and there are lots of experts involved and everything is scientifically backed. But yes, it distills down to four simple things for the Google LunarX prize. You have to take off from Earth. You have to land on the moon. And then you have to move 500 meters. Again, we don't care if you hop, skip, scoot, jump, a row, whatever you want to do. And then you have to send back a high resolution digital imagery. Send us a message from the moon to prove you're there. So those four simple guidelines, all of our X prizes are distilled down to those three, four, five simple, seemingly, I should say, seemingly simple things that the winning team has to do. Lakshmi, if you think about it, we're like a race. So you have to have a very well-defined finish line because if you don't know you've won the race, then that's no good for anybody. So we really define that finish line in terms where nobody can dispute when you have finished. Maybe you can tell for the tricorder also what's the... Yeah, the tricorder, a handheld device or a device that fits in the palm of your hand that non-invasively can diagnose up to 15 health conditions. Okay. Yes. So I would like to ask both of you the last question of, you know, we have, you know, numbers give or take over 600 million people under the age of 35 in India alone. And if you look at the world, there's a lot of young people. What do you think we need to do, we could do to create a sense of responsibility and integrity into this crowd? In what way do you think we can also teach is not the right word, imbibe values and not just results? Which is what XPRIZE Journey is all about. It's about the journey, it's not about the results. In what way can we imbibe that in the way they are going to evolve as very, very successful people? I think we need a whole new breed of superheroes. And forums like Inc. bring those to the forum. I think we need heroes that have everyday backgrounds that are truly achieving amazing things, both small and large in all kinds of different areas. And we need their stories to be brought to the forefront so that the younger generation and not just the younger generation, you know, my generation, the older generation, we all have new heroes every day, new role models every day, people to learn from that aren't just all about how rich they made it or how famous they made it because of a particular talent. It's much, much more than that. And for a country of one point, almost 2.5 billion people, we really need a whole new brand of superheroes, a whole new breed of them. That's how, what would you say, what would you like to? You know, I feel India, our country, has one tremendous attribute in the 1 billion plus people. And that is that we have been, often been called a country of shopkeepers or a country of individuals who seek to have their individual visibility. It may be a pawn shop, it may be a larger shop, it may be some activity, but we are entrepreneurs, DNA-wise. We, as a country, we have ideas. What we don't have adequately is we don't have the opportunity to express ourselves. We don't have an infrastructure that helps finance us. We don't have an environment necessarily that motivates us or supports us, us meaning the entrepreneur, the young entrepreneur. The worst thing that happens to us, I think is that a young entrepreneur has an idea. It's an idea, it may be a way out idea. And the older person says, how successful has this been elsewhere? How many people have succeeded or utilized it? This is the kiss of death. No new idea is ever going to happen, but we have that potential. And I think if we have the motivators, the supporters, the equivalent of a venture capital community, then India is going to really go exponentially into this new era. And just like the United States has done over the last several decades, who would have thought that we have some of the companies that exist today and are considered highly valuable would be there? Who would have thought of Microsoft or Apple or SpaceX or any of these new names? They didn't exist some time ago. No one would have thought that Elon Musk could himself create a company that would compete with NASA. It would have been unheard of. So I think we have the potential. We need, we have the heroes, but they're embedded in a more traditional structure. We need to unleash them. And I think, you know, in wrap up, I'd like to say that as we unleash them, as we get the younger people, I think they need mentors or elders, you know, parents that can guide them the right way too. So to have all of you with your experience guide a lot of the young people. So I just wanna say today I've successfully completed checking off Ratan Tata on my list. So thank you very much. And I hope this is just the beginning. And thank you so much for being here.


This would be the second part of the infinite crisis on many Earths. Right.  There's nothing for me to like recap because nothing makes sense. There's no like, oh no, Jacob didn't do this thing or Alice has killed more people. No, they literally like, they have dimensional and time travel. So we're fucked. We're just here for the ride. When we get back to watching Batwoman episodes alone, it's going to get so much easier because we're like, oh, this makes sense again. I understand now. It's like, yeah, that makes sense and how it doesn't make sense. The not making sense will make sense. Do you think now that Batwoman is gone in a parallel universe, they'll be able to finally capture Alice? Because she's getting in the way. Okay, back from the crisis stuff. We got Alice. No, we got her. She's like an Arkham Spine. It's almost like when you disappeared, everything got way easier for us. When she comes back, she's like, hey Alice, Jacob, I just saved the multiverse. What have you guys been up to? Like what? What you bring me? Is everyone ready to continue this adventure? Oh yeah, this is what you're going to need. Oh, give me. Never thought we'd be pouring one out for Oliver. Oh right, yeah. Arrow died. I like how they've taken the time to do their makeup when their friend is dead. He wouldn't want us to look our best. So does Batwoman appear on different episodes? I guess she knew Arrow in some way. I thought Supergirl wasn't meant to wear glasses because like it's a bruise, but who cares about the bruise? The universe is ending. Why are you wearing glasses? Not to rush a tender moment, but I think the multiverse is ending soonish. Oh, look, Kade, Kade making sense.  That's the first. We managed to get billions of people to save you. What does billions mean when the infinite universe is? Don't mean anything. There has to be a way we can undo this. She just said there has to be a way we can undo this. I had a feeling that they would just revert everything back by the end, yeah. Oh, okay. Welcome to the joint. They reacted very slowly to that. How does Batwoman have her clothes? Oh, yeah, she came with the bat suit. Yeah, maybe, yeah. Is that leather jacket smushed underneath the bat suit? Well, think about it. Teleport lady seems to be able to do it whatever for whatever reason. She could be like, hey, I need some clothes. Do you mind? She's like, I will.   Where are we right now? Like this isn't on Earth, right?  God, they said. I'm sorry.  Oh, it's terrible. That looks terrible. It's looks so bad. Why would you leave beers on the table where they'll get warm? Oh, why? It's the house of a recluse rags. It's empty. It's empty, empty beers. What he's saying is...  Why are you here? I like the quiet. He's trying to be a writer.  Of romance. As well, you can see how that's going. Oh, my God. He doesn't look like a romance novelist. The multiverse needs saving and its heroes need a ship. So, wait, she teleported here to get this ship? Is there no other one? This is the best option we got? Okay. Well, I guess it's a time-traveling ship, right?  The wrong hero. Man, that went out of focus there. Yeah, it did. You don't want to do another slide with me. I've rearranged my triangle point here for this occasion. I got it right this time. Oh, yeah. Really, guys? You're doing the baby crying joke? The purest will who can ultimately... Stop it! Don't hand it to Kate Kane.  Kill it. And it to the drunk, I guess? Beings of the purest will can ultimately detain. They are known as Paragons. Paragons? Well, that joke is worth it. I only recently learned of their existence by consulting the Book of Destiny. They read this movie? The Book of Destiny? He's a digital metaphor. Oh, God. The Book of Destiny. Look at this. This may as well be 100% fan fiction for something we've never even seen before, and it would do the same for us. We destroyed it last year. I went back into the time stream and retrieved it intact. I went back into the time stream.  I'm sorry. Who wrote this Book of Destiny? I have serious... Why is Kate okay with all of this? Could it bring him back? I wish he could. Every woman in this television show have to look like some washed-up version of Harley Quinn. But as the anti-monitor gets stronger, I grow weaker. That looks so fake. His hair looks so fake. We must find all seven Paragons. There's a Dragon Ball joke here somewhere. Oh, God. His hair looks so fake. You are the Paragon of Hope. Looks like a carpet. You might want to double-check your omnipotence. He's not omnipotent. He's getting weaker. I have only descriptions for the other two Paragons. Oneness of a second Kryptonian, who was said to have suffered a greater loss than most mortal men could endure. How are you even missing from it? Book of Destiny, I guess. Okay. I'll find him. I'll go with you. Why is Lewis going anywhere? She can't do it. So Batwoman is one of the Paragons. Is that what we're doing here? But she's one of the most evil we've ever seen. Yeah, how could she possibly be a Paragon? I don't know. It's pretty convenient that all the Paragons are heroes who exist and are like on Earth and have all met each other before. It seems like that's what makes the Paragons, I guess. I don't even know. The fourth? The Paragon of Courage, the Bat of the Future. Where Bruce Wayne has dedicated himself, body, and soul to fighting crime. Oh, cool. You just doxed Batman. You doxed Batman. I guess infinite Earths are... They're saving multiverses, Friggy. Come on. It's like, okay. Oh, God, look how cheap this looks. Yeah, I guess with infinite Earths set still, it looks so bad. It's just funny that the guy that made that Friggy e-fab logo is like way more talented than whoever did this. Oh, dear. I like that someone went to the effort of making this nice little animation. I'm like at the time for it, getting destroyed. Just still down to a computer graphic. Look, he thought the same thing. Oh, my God. Everyone has a part to play. Oh, cool.  All right.  Oh, there's someone I don't like. He dies. It looks so fake. Hair. It looks like a survival blanket someone taped to his face. You can revive him, but you can't bring back Oliver. I restored Luther along before the crisis caused my power to wane.  It's like none of this means anything. Everyone's going to come back anyway. The manual is the book of destiny. He's telling you that someone has a role to fulfill to save infinite universes. He's like, oh, I'm just going to lose him. I don't trust you, omnipotent God. But why would Lex Luthor want the universe to end? He's in the universe. Like, that's really bad. When I think of all those people on my earth that we wanted to save but couldn't. Kate Kane's expression there of just like, I'm going to listen now.  What kind of talk is that from the Paragon of Hope? Yeah. Come with me. Actually. Let's go save the universe.  What's this? I'm sorry. Wait, what's she just initiate? What's the- Is it a fidget spinner? Oh, no, a teleport lady is having a headache. Alternate universe, that's what fidget spinners look like. Cheap and shitty? Oh my God, she's turning the ship upside down. I was going to say, what happens when a person who can teleport has a headache?  You're not supposed to have that. A man was never meant to fly. Oh, is that the book of destiny? Goodbye, Superman. All of you. What? What? You tell me nobody was like keeping an eye on him? Really? Yes, because you have to unlock in a room behind glass. I'm so question-boxed. Lex Luthor stole the book of destiny. Oh, his head is a bit off again. Oh, it was his destiny to steal the book of destiny. Oh my God! It's a shame that you're the fastest man alive. I wish our love life wasn't so soft. I do love how like the trope of speedster stories is. I was fast, but I wasn't fast enough. It's like every time that's what speeds the stories are. Yes, it turns out that you destroyed all the pits on this Earth, but there are more Earths to choose from.  Have you thought of growing out what you've found in a safe place? Because Tony and Erica, you look like a French fry. Is there still executive producer things going on? I think there's a lot of people involved in this, I guess. So I missed one group chat, and now there's Paragons, and I'm supposed to be one of them. Who are you again? Barry and I are going to use Lazarus's pet to bring my dad back. Mia. That sounds like a really bad idea. Wow, I'm company. The Lazarus bit. Man, she has a full-on hexagon face. Okay, so we're just all going to be irrational then and use Lazarus pits to bring people back from the dead.   That's the thing. The whole idea of the Lazarus pit is it's like got a lot of negative consequences. It's a really bad idea. Oh my God.  I'm KK, and I'm Bruce's cousin. Yeah, no. Yeah, that's more sensible than our Luke. Bring this Luke in, please. I need this Luke.  Oh, I don't think that's how that would happen. That looks awful. Look at those shots. What if he was standing behind it? You need to leave. He has a full-on gun now. Don't be so rude, Luke. Oh God, it's a robot. We're not used to having guests. This is my Negro man-servant. Is she going to be like pissed to him?  This is like a different universe. Doesn't matter. He did it still probably because he's terrible. Like this would be really cool because it's Kevin Conrace. It's really cool, but it's like this whole thing.  Hey, Kevin, I need you to put on this. No, this is it. Yeah, this is the whole thing. Why does that look like way worse? Like it's shot in a really bad camera. Metropolis. Lex is jumping from universe to universe, killing off Superman. One of them is the Catonian Paragon. Was that all upon? I'm crazy. He just did that. He took the book and just going from universe to universe because he's killing Superman.  Is that just something you can do? Oh, wow. What? Why does that look so terrible? Are you kidding me? How do you just?  It's just that easy?  This is their attempt of a Marvel Universe. Oh my God, he lit two cigarettes at once.  Oh, God, those are cigarettes.  He's not looking at it. Is it looking at it? He's clear. Need to look at the teleprompter for my lines. I'll give you the needle in the celestial haystack. The functioning Lazarus Pit. Does anyone know the Lazarus Pit?  The Lazarus Pit is like used by the League of Assassins to resurrect themselves. Yeah, what is that? What? Did that accomplish? I don't know. He told them where a working Lazarus Pit is, I think. Yeah, they know exactly where it is. They're going to it right now because he told them where it was using that star map. They're going to put the coordinates into their computer. It's such a bad idea. Like, the Lazarus Pit is not good. I don't know why they never contemplate using it. Oh, Smallville time. Oh, Smallville, yeah. It's a cool cameo. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. They're all cool cameos. It's just unfortunate they're in this. Who are Clark Kent, right? Yeah, who are you and why are you on my property?  Lex, attention, please. Hello, old friend. Yeah. Who are you? He looks like he's out of a video game. I'm Lex Luthor. He looks like a midget pulling a normal sized book.  Like it's an easy thing to do. How does he do it? What do you do with those people? Send them back to their flying tin can in the sky. That was nice of you instead of dumping them in here for you. I'm very confused as to what this creature is and his abilities. Is that book written in English? He's Superman. How many universes are there? How long is this going to take him? Infinite.  Uncountable amount. He will never finish. It's infinite Earths. He will never get them all. He's very dedicated, okay? Oh, he got kryptonite. That's kryptonite. Which has no effect on me ever since I gave up my power. What? You gave up. You can do that. It's super straight. That is worth more than any superpower. Did that happen in the show? I don't remember this. You had super impotence? He's time-beautiful. I wish I could protect my kid. Why would he try and punch him? Yeah. Shoot him with a gun. Use a firearm. Wait. Are you going to bring a small-ville Superman? He's not going to do anything. She totally saw that, by the way. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You were 10 feet behind me when he portaled away. I'm so beyond shocked from a fan service point of view. Why wouldn't they have him punching things at some point? Come on. He's just here to say hello. Okay.  Reign of terror? Is this meant to be like a Dockknot Rises thing? Dockknot returns. I've lost track of how many people I've killed. Oh, yeah. Were they bad people? I can't believe they're going to make her, like, virtuous. She's going to reconnect him with hisisms. Take one life, then another, then another, then another. This was suddenly very dark. Batman's explaining the ones he took one life. He couldn't stop.   Can we have a show about that, Batman? This one's way more interesting. Yeah, this is what I mean, like, this is way more interesting. Fine.   No, I played Checkers with Luke on Tuesday. Did you see Ripius? He's more than just a butler. Oh, no. I really need to concentrate if I'm ever going to finish this Paragon Detector the monitor asked for. Thank you for that exposition. Paragon Detector? How does one detect Paragons? It's you have to attach a calculator to a Game Boy. As he caress the nape of her back. He struck like a cobra. You like that? Is that why it's my best friend? Okay. Oh! Excuse me, I'm so sorry. Oh, is this meant to be Superman Returns Universe? God, this is so confusing because he is another character in, like, another universe.  I don't, like... If you have access to Infinite, surely you could be, you know, recruiting hundreds, if not thousands of super-bads. Yeah, but Lex Luthor keeps beating them to the punch. That's just no...  I know what it is. You have to pull your glasses down to do that? Yeah, that's what it means. Like, why would you need to do that? Mementos from Batman's Greatest Victories. And over here, it's Mintos. Oh, look, Mr. Fry's reference, reference, reference, reference.  Yeah, because this is Dark Knight Returns. Yeah, it is. Who do you think put him in that exoskeleton?  I literally have no idea. You see a pair of glasses and you're like... Well, it's funny because we all know that that's what that means, but this is like any other person might just be like, so whose glasses are they? Are you punched a guy with glasses on?  The computer technician came over, it's like, you can't fix what he said? What do you mean? We'll be down for the next two to three weeks. That's his name. Harry White, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane. Why are all these names on your wall? They're dead.  It seems like they're dead. Is that the only... We all just forgot about them. Is that like the most interesting thing to them? Like they go to different Earths like, oh, those guys are dead. They're still alive in our universe. That face. Almost as if you've been through more loss than any mortal man could endure. Are we gonna spend time on every sub-story across this infinite amount of universe? Isn't everything dying? Isn't everything dying? I was pretty lucky that he wasn't in the universe that got destroyed. Also, they got... Remember, they got zapped away from... Oh my... Then you won't do it alone. Why did he go? Yeah, where'd you get it from?  This is seriously like sitcom levels of bad.  What? What? Why would he do that? Does he have mind powers? Why would Superman do that? Pretty sure if Superman punched you in the intent to kill, you'd be flying through several buildings. I couldn't even save my wife. Punched a guy with a book. Yes, you do. You're the Paragon of Truth. This is so awkward. I say the Earth is flat.   I wanted to clarify, by the way, they were with Clark and Smallville land. They got zapped away. We didn't even see them talk about that. They didn't care that they would teleport out. What did Lex do? What did Lex do?  I asked him. He's right there. He's like, man. If you're not careful. Oh, wow. Oh, this looks so bad. Oh, they got the theme. That's awful. This legit reminds me of Superman 64. Can you hear each other? Oh my God, it's like, oh, look at that. Oh, no, that's so bad. Let's watch. I can't believe what I'm looking at right now. How does Superman fly faster? I actually want Henry Cavill's Superman to kill all of them. Stop coming back to this guy. Why don't you just throw a desk at this guy? What? Are you kidding me? What is happening? Oh, only Lex. Luther can open it. How come it's so easy to open it? He was just jerking off into it, I guess.  Oh, wow, he came back through this window. Yeah, he came back to this exact room. There's nobody in the daily planet looking in this office and wondering what's happening. Lex turned all of his love into hate. Love. Oh, that sizzles. Move around so it's not in the same spot. That looks so awkward. Dude, you can move around. You don't have to stand still. He tried to bid through him. Come on. Love can do everything.  Hey, reference to Superman. I wish I had alcohol here. I know that we're ill-equipped to judge everything in this, but Crazy Omnipotent Man brought Lex in order for him to hunt and kill several Superman that they eventually had to stop. What is this plotline?  There are just like torches in here, burning always. What is this? There are tunnel flames, rags, jeez. Why are you doing this? She's clearly, like, irrational. Alright, it's the last one. Old collapsed mining cave in North Dakota. Quick, where are you, uh, that? I wanted to highlight that they went for Smallville Superman. They got zapped away and they never came back to see if he was okay. They just, they just accepted that. That he's dead, I guess. Yeah, like they just assumed he's dead.   Who is this person? He's an old Confederate war general upset that he had his Negroes taken away. He's like a cartoon character.  Why is he using his other hand on? He's just sitting there. What's he doing? Are they? Wait, you just let go of the knife. Just let go. Just open your hand and the knife goes away. He, like, had to participate and cut himself. This is actually my fetish. I can't believe it came true. How do you explain that? Some random Confederate soldier attacked us. Like, okay. Did they bring Eros corpse into another dimension? Yeah, I did. Oh my God. I'm just going to revert to stuff like the next episode. You know what, guys? You could have just given up. This is a Lazarus pit! Apparently. A cave in North Dakota. With a pool. Put a puddle in it. Put a puddle in it. Yeah, I gotta say.  The understatement of the puddle of the Lazarus pit.  Oh, here we go. I can barely walk. I don't want to wear that again. Oh, you seem to walk pretty well. There was no hope for this world. That's because you killed Superman. Are they actually going to make him evil? No, but what's your context? You have no context. What if Superman was evil? Oh, God. He's Ben Affleck, Batman. What? Why are you punching Supergirl? Are you super strong? Oh, he's got krypsidye. You just have to add on him all the time. In case super people attack him. In case Superman came back from the dead and I had to punch him. Why would he punch him? What's happening? I guess he hates her as much as he hates Superman. I guess. He just hates anyone who's an alien coming to do stuff. It brought him back to life, but then he drowns. He's been made aware of there being a multiverse that's dying, hasn't he? What is supposed to happen here? Oh, is it going to be evil? Evil the arrow? Is that what's going to happen? Well, that's the whole point. The Lazarus Pit has unintended consequences. That's why it's such a bad idea. Thanks for saving me from that life-threatening punch.  This is easier. This is the easy way. You know how expensive Dr. Bills could be. I don't know what happened to you, Bruce, but it ends now. Yes. I don't know. Okay, K-Necting. This world's not worth saving in any universe. Wow.  Me.  What? Wow. All right. What an epic fight scene. You bringing Kevin Conroy to do this? Yeah, like this really bugs me, actually. Wow. Oh, wow. Okay, then.  All right.  How could people be happy with that? Why didn't you put him in a prison when you first had him, you idiots? Careful. He was evil five minutes ago. Let's move through and play this role. Oh, that was his role. How many lives did that cast? Why is that the way that it was done? Well, Bruce Wayne wasn't the Paragon of anything. How do you know that? You just muted him. That doesn't mean he wasn't. No, no, no, no. Okay. So Batman tried to kill Kara, but now he's dead. So we're doomed. Why are you just chill about that? It's gonna be her. She's the revealed actual bat person who's amazing, right? Okay. Like, unironically, the reason I'm jumping to this is that they literally brought him one of the most famous and well-loved Batman's to kill him and have her be better than him and take his place as the Paragon of, what was it, courage, do you say? Yeah, courage. That's going to be so insulting. Paragon of scissoring. Oh, are we going to do this right away? Why did they make Kevin Conroy evil? That light is the Paragon of courage. Well, Bruce's body isn't on the ship. No. But you are. Yes, there it is. Yes. She's the Paragon of courage. What? I said the path to Earth 99 would lead you to the Paragon.  I've just come to pass. Oh, she's more courageous now than she was.   How? Would you be courageous when you have a suit that protects you from any and all? They literally had her murder in one of the most popular representations of Batman and take his position as the Paragon of courage.  That's so rude. What's happening now? I'm sweating. If we can't get Oliver's soul back, he's going to be a monster forever. They've got to get his soul back? If we can't get Oliver's soul back. What? This is a soul retrieving spell? Yeah, let me ask my buddy Satan if he has Oliver's soul. How does this work?  Why would she have a soul? She's the Paragon of courage. She is soul. I'm so trying to figure out what that old black man with the weird pointy hair said. I've barely even started this whole vigilante thing. How am I a Paragon? You're right. Good question. Did you? Did you? I saw your reaction. You killed Batman. Good job. That's very courageous. The literal version of eat his heart, gain his courage. I love this. They're like, we have to justify hard how she's the good one by having evil Batman electric. You had the courage to punch that crippled man. It's so bad. I hate it. Fuck! I've not heard people complaining about it. I've not even heard about this. How are people not upset about that? Because it's propping up Kate Kane. So it's all worth it. Christ. I thought this was the thing you were talking about earlier that you read about. No, no. Okay. I carry this photograph around with me. Is that creepy? I wish I knew her like this. Maybe you still can. No. What? No. No. What?  How are they going to be Eddie Steaks and Batwoman from now on? Alice will be like, are you Beth?  Maybe I can use the Book of Destiny to bring it back. Montage said that would be a really dangerous car. I know what he said. What good is being the Paragon of Hope if I don't have any? Yeah, that's a really good question. That's a really good way to rationalize a crazy decision.  Wait, what? She's going to use it on Supergirl. Stop her from using the book or something.  Please stop. This is what happens when I play too many video games. Uh-oh. Apocalypse. I'm kidding. I am the anti-monitor. Oh. Hello. Okay. There is work to be done. So he's like the evil version of our... our hair man? I guess. Okay.  It just makes sense. He was more like an orc, but... All right. So that episode just happened. I think the main event is Batman's just evil. I think they were concerned that we wouldn't think he's evil enough. So when he's just like, oh, Carol, the whole world can be dead and no variation of this world should be alive. It's like, oh my goodness. He just wants everything dead. Okay. Well, yeah.   At least Superman came back from the dead and he had to punch him.  But when he started to punch Kate, I'll hold that back.  Yeah, but Kate has actively led to the death of so many people and she's unaware of it. And the thing is like, from what we've seen of the body count, Batman only killed Superman. That was like the only really questionable one. And you didn't even get the whole context. I don't know. You only got like 10 seconds.  They just let us assume it's bad. And let him get electrocuted to death and then having casual chats. This is the same person who lets Alice get away with murder over and over and over again, despite the fact that Bruce is also just falls on his own console or electrocutes himself.  That was insane. Yeah, I just don't know how else to say it. I can't believe we watched it. Yeah, that happened. So the whole reason that Crazy Hair Man brought Lex Luthor in and allowed him to secretly steal a book that has access to the multiverse to kill Superman is because it would eventually lead to them finding the Paragon of Truth.  If you have that level of power live, why wouldn't it just be, oh, this is where the Paragon of Truth is? Why wouldn't you just say it? It's you. I know it's you. It's you. It's just supervising the whole age. It's the way it happens. It has to happen this way. I don't know. We have a cameo to get in there, so go kill Batman so we can tell his life just to tell us what we already knew that we're going to do. It's hard to tell the difference between nothing being accomplished and a whole lot of things being accomplished. It feels like nothing happened that episode.  But there's so many of them that it doesn't matter. It's of no consequence because there's infinite... There's an infinite amount. You're getting into what you were doing in the Nile at this point. But, luckily, they're supposed to be smart.    That's a thing. The first one to receive fun fronts is the one he's facing. Were they tracking him? Were they tracking him? Like, how did they bump it into, like, the places he was going? I don't know. I guess they have some sort of, like, tracker that tracks Superman. He reminds... I was trying to think of what Lex Luthor was reminding me of, and it's like a mobile game style narrator. Welcome to Fantasy Army 3. The first thing you need to do is activate your infantry troops.  I can't stop thinking of video games when I see him. He looks so silly. That was episode two of Crisis Uniform. Part two. Yeah. See you for the next one. Yay. It's crazy, it's great. I've been waiting to do this for 28 years. Are you upset that you're not going to be playing Batman but only Bruce Wayne? Why'd you bring me?


Afternoon baseball here on the show coming up. We've got a good match up in store between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto find themselves on a five game skid. They'll try to get back on track next. Matt Shoemaker gets the ball for the Blue Jays in this one. What's your take on him, Dan? Hey, every team needs a pitcher like this one here. His numbers aren't going to blow you away. Career ERA just under four. But one thing he does, he takes the ball every five days, throws strikes, and gives his team a chance to win every single time he goes out there. He'll be fun to watch in this one here today. Now to the plate, Brett Gardner. And we are ready for some daytime baseball. Gardner. Here comes the first pitch. Strike taken up in the zone. And Dan DeRoe, the Blue Jays, as they enter play here this afternoon, they come into this one in need of some kind of spark to turn them around as they find themselves in the midst of a five game slide. Yeah, I get it, Matty. The team's on a moderate losing streak right now. Can't be happy with the way they've played, but they have to find a way to relax a little bit. Everybody goes through these little stretches, these little valleys throughout the course of a long season. This team should write itself and it needs to start today. Fastball swung on and missed, and the leadoff man has gone on strikes to start the afternoon. If you've got a good fastball going and they're not handling, keep throwing it. Right there, three fastballs in a row. He gone. Judd. And that'll bring up Aaron Judge as he takes a fastball off the plate for a ball one and all. Past battles with Matt Shoemaker, he's gone two for five, fouled away. Our temperature, not quite 60 degrees, 59 here at game time this afternoon. Now the one and one pitch. Fouled off again and now he's in a one and two hole. Hit the other way out toward right field. Under this one is Gritchick and there are two away now. That is third, the designated hitter, John Carlo Stanton. John Carlo Stanton now, first chance for him here in the top of the first with nobody on. Infield in the over shift here, now the pitch. Time for a look at our umpires in this one behind the plate is Ed Drummond. Yeah, Matty, we got a good one behind the dish today and Ed Drummond, well-liked by all people, pitchers, batters, managers. All you want as a player is the ability to talk to someone and that's what Ed does. He gives you that chance. Zero, you hit a nail right on the head. He has a real long fuse. He's not afraid to let a hitter or a pitcher. I'm not to say complain about a particular pitch but he's not the guy that's going to get mad and throw somebody and give them the boot just because a guy doesn't like a pitch or a pitcher thinks that a pitch is a strike and they call it a ball. A high-fast ball that's in there. Stealing that strike on 3-0 was important but you don't want to miss over the heart of the plate in this situation. I got to believe he's going to be way more aggressive right here. Three balls and two strikes to the Yankees DH. You can bet he wants that one back at the plate right now. That's a pitch you normally see a guy drive if he has the right approach going. And he fouls this one off. You're lucky if you get one pitch a night right down the middle cannot be laid on that fastball. The next three two is a called third strike right on the inside corner. One two three go the bombers. Yankees nothing. Blue Jays coming to bat. It's Major League Baseball on the show. Jay Hap is ready to go as he'll be on the mound for the Yanks. What do you have for us on him Danny. Hey this guy has really good stuff and he's commanding his off speed pitches like he was in his last one. He threw the ball really well picking up the win and allowing only two runs. If he brings that stuff back in this one it could be back to back powerhouse performances for the plate. Joe can delete things off here in the bottom half of the first panic. This is swung on and popped up crossing into foul territory now behind third. And Duhar is over and he puts it away for the first time. That's a good hitter. Whoa. Good. Stepping up to the plate. Bo Bichette and there's a look at his home and road splits so far this year. Ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch. Well this Yankee ball club entering play this afternoon here. They've had it go in the last 10 games. There's seven and three over that stretch including a win last time out. Yeah Matty they started yesterday off on the right foot that they could put together two games in a row. A lot of positive vibes start happening. You never know this could be a jump start to big things. Hap has over 40 innings on his line so far with the Nia Ray just under two and a half. That's allowing just over two runs per nine innings of work. The one one lofted in the air out to right field judges under it. He's got it and there are two down now. That is third the third baseman. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Stepping in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Looking to get on base and keep this first inning alive. Pitch on the way outside target here and he hits it for strike one bases are empty here with two men out. I fly ball out to straight away center. Gardner is there. No trouble with this one and the inning is over. Blue Jays go down in order and this is still a nothing nothing ball game. And Gary Sanchez is back in the starting lineup for this one after sitting out last night's game. First offering on its way off the plate in low here ball one that's taken for ball 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. The two on the way three and oh now and that misses for ball four. So it's a lead off walk here to start the second. And don't forget he'd lost his last time out. So he wants to get off on the right foot here. The third last thing he wanted was to walk the lead off. Man at new hard coming to the plate now. Miguel on do hard first pitch coming. Here it is swing and a miss. Oh and one on do hard takes his swings from the right handed batter's box. But he's one of those rare hitters that actually thrives facing same handed pitching. One of the very best in the game as a matter of fact in that type of matchup. Yeah Matty he does not leak with that front side. He keeps that shoulder tucked stays inside the baseball and it gives him every opportunity to hammer the fastball and stay on that breaking stuff. On the ground a panic here could be two. One there he'll put this in his pocket and be content with just the one out. 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. Into the box Tyler Wade as he'll get his first opportunity in this one. Here it comes. He's running hit back up the middle and he is in there. They couldn't get him a second or gets him two down. Here's one that you don't see too often right. Safe at second base but out at first. Great hustle there from the runner going into second really showed off his speed. Runner in scoring position with two gone. First pitch coming here it is. Yeah that ball went out. And Doohar stands at second with two gone. Popped him up Jansen over to his left and that ends the inning. So no runs here on no hits no errors and a runner left on. We'll go to the bottom half of ending number two and we are tied nothing nothing. Now with the plate Lordess Gouriel and as you can see he's had some troubles here in his own ballpark. That's something you look to improve upon in this one. First delivery to him on the way.  Into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 and it's 1 and 1. Gouriel swings a bad and throws from the right side and stands at six foot three. He's in his third season as a major league player. Blue Jay shortstop with a one and two count to two balls and two strikes now. The classic back foot slider right there with two strikes usually gets a ton of swing and misses. Nice layoff right there fight for another pitch. Here now the two two breaks as bad as this one's popped up. And this will not be caught. It's a foul ball two to one more time. This is hit high and deep out to left. A ball that's carrying on the warning track. He makes the catch batting fit. The right fielder Randall Richard. Here's Randall Richard first pitch of the at bat. Now a swing and a fly ball. And it's a foul ball swing and a miss on the slider. And he's quickly behind nothing in two. Boy so far early into this one this guy's pitching really well and I'm a big believer in body language. He's getting the ball. He's working really quick keeping the ball down in the zone. And if you take a look at this guy so far early on a lot of positive signs. He looks like he brought his good stuff in this one. Count moves to a ball and two strikes now. It's a high fly ball headed for the left field corner. If it stays fair it's gone. But it bends just fouled into the second deck. The one two. And it swung on and missed strike three. Boy he's having a hard time just putting the ball in play right now. He took the hat trick with three strikeouts yesterday. And here's another one today. Looks to me like he just needs to simplify his approach and focus on making some contact. He's ready. Here's the first offering to Oscar Hernandez. Is in with two away now as he looks at a called strike one. It's pretty tough for a hitter to go up there looking for a first pitch change up and a good job of dropping it in for strike one. One in one the count now. Here's the pitch. A full diving stop. He's out. The defense on display on this beautiful diving stop at short. More of the show. Saturday baseball after this. Begins play in this one with his batting average over the three ten plateau. Boy. First pitch to him. Now a strike called in the upper part of the zone. That pitch in the dirt as he lays off. It's one and one. A shot to second base and handled for the first down. Batting gun. Standing in. Mike Tuckman. And he's carrying a batting average of just over 300. So clearly he's been a productive player with the bat in his hand so far. First pitch on its way. One one. Is swung on and missed in that strike one. Nice adjustment out on the mound over through the first one a little bit but got on top and let that ball rip right out in front of him. One one. To first. Reigned in. And he'll take it to the bag himself for the out. Now batting. The center fielder. Brett Gardner. So bases are empty here with two gone. And up next the left handed hitting Brett Gardner. Here comes the first pitch. Fastball just misses that's ball one. Both teams so far yet to crack the hit column. And a fastball in there for a strike one and one. One of the best ways to keep a guy uncomfortable is to pound him inside. They're doing that and this one caught the zone. Swing and a miss as he pulled the string on him one and two. And it's to two and two now with the bases empty and two gone here in the inning. Got him swinging as he runs the fastball by him to end the inning. So the Yanks go one two three. Home half of the third coming up. No score. Rowdy tell as the next to bat seven eight and nine to start on third. Not much going on offensively so far for these guys. Six up six down. We'll see if the bottom part of the lineup can get something going. Well the home crowd seems a little restless so I'm sure they'd appreciate it. Infield shifted well to the right. Here's the first pitch toward right center field. Judges under it. He hauls it in for the first out of the inning. And with one away time for a check of the standings in the American League East as you get to look at where these two teams find themselves entering play. So the bases are empty with one man gone. And that'll bring in Danny Jansen first delivery to him on the way. And it's fouled away into the wind up. Here comes the 0 and 1 and he jumps at a change up a swing and a miss. Wow. Great pitch right there. Right. Changing speeds. How about that straight change up. How about that swing. Howdy. If you're waving at me. One and two count to the Blue Jays signal caller. Man a pitcher let the guy off easy right there. That old two pitch wasn't even close. I'd rate that as a non competitive pitch. Swing and a miss on the change up and there are two gone. Pitching one to one is changing location and upsetting. You do that and everything's going to be fine. In that strikeout. He never threw the same pitch twice in a row. And he won the battle because of it. Derek Fisher the next to bat. As the first pitch to him is in there for a cold strike one. Bottom of ending number three. Nothing nothing our score lays off the slider and it's one and one. One and two now. They're out to right field. Judge will get there and he puts it away to retire the side. One two three go the Blue Jays. We'll head to the fourth still scoreless. Here's big Aaron judge as we begin the top of the fourth. This game is rolling right along as we move into the middle innings with no score. You'd think by now one of these two teams would be able to get some base runners on to get him in. But that hasn't been the case. First pitch of the at bat. They set the target in and this finds the inside corner for strike one. Off the plate one ball one strike. And it's a ball and two strikes now there in judge. Weak rounder back to the mound. Throw to first in time one gone here in the fourth. The batter the designated hitter. John Carlo. In digging into the batter's box next will be John Carlo Stanton comes into this at bat 0 for one in the ball game. He's ready. Here's the first offering. Grounded straight into the shift on the left side. Pro gets him two down. Now that is kept Gary. Striding in once again Gary Sanchez. His guys still looking at a zero in the hit column. Ready to deliver. Here's the first pitch. Hey they say solos won't kill us but I got to believe this guy's looking to do exactly that. Pitching has the upper hand early as we're scoreless in inning number four. That swung on and missed were even at one in one. A little behind on that swing and now he'll try to shorten up maybe and protect the plate. The one two and he lays off a pitch outside as they draw even at two and two. 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. Now the payoff pitch home. Yankee still on the lookout for hit number one here. And right into the shift. But this will get foul. So they'll do it again three and two. Four foul balls in this A.B. Pitcher cannot find anywhere to go to put this guy away. And he struck him out. So he was forced to make nine pitches that at bat but he'll take it as the inning is over. One two three go the bombers. On to the bottom of the fourth now still with no score. Here's Joe Panic back to the top of the lineup but as they're still looking for the first base runner in this one. No doubt about that man. They've yet to figure this guy out on the mound. He's left great so far. He has but we'll see if this second trip through the order changes anything. Yeah it'll be interesting to see what kind of adjustments these hitters are able to make in the middle innings of this game. Now here's the pitch. The wind up and the 1 0 pitch. Right side. Oh and it eats him up a bit. Flip it to the pitcher covering for the out. Well you're going to bobble the ball. You have to hope it doesn't get it. But a guy is lumbering down the base pass. He's no speedster. So that was a good job to stay calm and make the recovery throw. Coming forward now the Toronto designated hitter. Boba Shett. He flew out in his last at bat. Ready with the first pitch. Here it comes. I know it's cliche and it's tired at times but a well located fastball down at the knees is still the best pitch in the game. Behind 0 and 2 now no runs no hits and no errors in the game for Toronto. Down the left field line and deep and that's going to land foul. And the 0 2 pitch. Skied into straight away right. Judge is there to down the bat. So with two gone here in the fourth let's check out our pitch speed comparison for the two starters. Both guys pretty close top speeds of 95 and 94. Digging in to try it again. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Flied out in his first at bat so make him 0 for one so far. And the pitch. Now the fastball has swung on and missed. And this catches the inside corner. Good spot there. It's 0 and 2. Hey this is an amazing inning right here. Attacking the zone keeping his defense invested champ. And we'll have to leave it there as this is strike three and that will retire the side. Blue Jays go down in order through four still tied nothing nothing. Back now here at Rogers Center and here's Heidi. Thanks Matt. I talked with the Yankees manager Aaron Boone during the break about the team's offensive performance so far. And he told me overall he's not happy with the at bats they're putting together. They've only managed one base runner in this game. So it's easy to see why he said they haven't shown much fight today. He's hoping to see someone step up and find a way to get something going though. This game isn't out of hand so it remains to be seen if they can snap out of this funk and climb back into this one. Good stuff Heidi. Thanks. The third base. And that'll bring up Miguel and do hard to start off the fifth in this one. We're moving through the middle of this ballgame right now. They want to get things going. How about trying to get some base runners on or at least get a base hit. They don't have any hits going into this part of the game. And he'll start the inning with a pitch that misses off the plate. It's ball one. A swing and a drive sent out toward the gap. But that'll hit off the wall in left center. And the Yankees are in business here. It's a lead off double. So a ringing double here to kick off inning number five. And as that graphic shows us he currently leads the Yankees in that category. And that'll bring up Tyler Wayne. As he will look at a first pitch fastball for ball one. Here's a changeup that's right there one and one offer on that one.  Here it is fouled away. Pulled slowly down the first base line. But this is going to be a foul ball as that keeps things at two and two. No runs just one hit and no errors for the Yankees so far. And he fouls this one off. He's set. Here's the two to swing in a little blooper to center. And that's going to fall for a base hit. He'll get it into second. And not in time as the run scores. Boy it's been tough to score in this one so far through the fifth inning. But that RBI base hit right there. Is a nice breakthrough. Yeah it's been a great pitchers dual up until this point. They've been executing on the bump without question. But that RBI knock right there might set the tone for later innings. And that'll bring up Labor Torres. As the first pitch misses to him it's ball one. Oh for one for him here in this one. That's ball two. You thank your lucky stars when you get a chance to hit behind a guy with as much speed as he has on first base. The entire defense is on guard and you know probably there's a fastball coming. To an O count and the pitch turned on that one and crushed it. Just pulled it a little foul. The first go get back in safely. The two one home pitch outside the throw. And Janssen's got his man at second. Wow that's a big time throw right there. And it's a tall task to throw him out stealing the bag. But he got rid of it quickly. And it was a good job down there applying the quick tag. They'll have to feel good about that. Here's the three one in the air to right center. Fisher is there to gone. Now batting. The first base move. Boy. Striding into the box. Look boy. Hit it hard but lined out in his first half bat. Yeah Matty it's always a little frustrating when you square one up. You hit a solid line drive like he did. And all you have to show for it is a jog back to the dugout. That can get in your head for a little while. There's not too many umpires in the game that are going to ring that first strike right there. That was borderline up even though it was in the zone. This is on the ground over the first. And that finds its way through for a base hit. Not sure why the pitching coach is even going to the mound. This guy's been on cruise control the entire game. Might be he's just giving his pitcher a chance to catch his breath regroup and regain some of that focus. Into the box now. Mike Tuckman as he'll pop this one foul off to the left it out of play. He's 0 for 1 thus far. He's ready. Here's the 0 1. Nope. Now a good pitch around the knees but it doesn't quite catch the bottom of the zone. Outside 2 and 1. From the bell kicks and deals. He'll try to hold up in time but to no avail as he went around and the inning is over. So one run on three hits no errors and one man left on base home half of the fifth coming up. It's the Yankees one the Jays nothing. Welcome back for the bottom of the fifth. Here's Heidi Watney. Thanks Matt in between innings I was able to catch up with the manager of the blue Jays to discuss his thoughts on his team's lineup so far and he was pretty blunt in saying they're just not having very good at bats. They haven't had a single guy on base yet so it's starting to feel a little desperate down here but he said they've unfortunately just been faced with some really great pitching today. The key going forward is to find any way they can to get him out of his rhythm on the mound. Now that may be a tall task but they feel the little adjustments could lead to things turning around with them. Not your stuff Heidi. Thanks Lord at the plate. Lord is going to be out of the bottom of the fifth as they look to break through on the scoreboard for the first time in this one. Yeah baseball is a game of adjustments and it's time they start making some. They don't need to change their entire approach necessarily but now is maybe when they start thinking about ways to get the guy in the mound out of his rhythm a bit. And this is on the outside corner for strike one outside for a ball one and one lifted in the air to shallow center field. Here comes Gardner. He gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning. The right the right. Well it's still early but it's also worth noting that he's in line for the win. If this keeps up as we take a look at the league leaders in games one this season. And as you see there that number has him tied for second in the A.L. in that category. Randall Gritchick at the plate now outfield shaded a bit to left center the first pitch. Fastball taken but that gets the zone for a strike. One of the biggest factors on how long you're going to go with a start is how many first pitch strikes you throw. 80 percent usually means you're going to have a pretty good day and that's on the menu so far. And he looks at one in there one and two. Bases are empty one man out. This is foul right side. They're one to delivery. There's a breaking ball that couldn't quite catch the inside. Swing and a miss there on a late breaking slider as he sat down on strikes for the second time this afternoon. So still nothing against him on the scoreboard here in the fifth as we check out the leader board for team E.R.A. And you can see right there that these guys ranked second in the A.L. in that category. So Bases are empty here with two gone and striding into the plate next to Betay Oscar Hernandez first pitch of the at bat. And this is taken outside for ball one. Swung on and missed one and one. Although he doesn't use that pitch too much if he's able to steal some strikes early in the count could be something they have to think about. Swing line drive that's going to be trouble. He's around first heading for two and he will pull in the second with a two out double. Hey D. Rhodes about time they finally break through into the fifth inning and that's just their first hit of this game.  I want to see some balls moved into the gap first knock. Hopefully this is the start of many stepping in rowdy tellers as he'll look to bring home that tying run from second with a base hit into the outfield hold the lead here the delivery. He sent the 0 1 that slider and he's behind one and two slider with gone for strike three a great pitch to put an end to the inning danger reverted following the two out double more from the show Saturday baseball following this message and a word from our local stations back to the top of the lineup stepping in Brett Gardner he was sat down on strikes in his last at bat. Yeah kind of shocked he got blown away with a fastball. You could tell he was laid on that one and we'll see if he tries to cheat to something this a big one ball no strikes the count pitch misses in the dirt and it's two and 0 now a couple of strikeouts early in the game but he's done a much better job than this at bat trying to get ahead and put himself in a good hitters count down low and the plot thickens here three and oh got through the fifth all right but it looks like he's a little off kilter here to start the sixth Rio pitch tough pitch to layoff but he did and it's ball four so the leadoff hitters aboard to start the sixth well that is definitely not the way to start it any one thing to give up a walk but to do it on four pitches is pretty alarming he looks a little thrown off right now stepping into the box Aaron judge first pitch on its way well above the letters with the fastball that time that's a great call right there fastball away with a guy who's got some jets on first base almost like a hybrid pitch out great for a catcher if that guy's running easy transfer throw to second base one oh count here it is looked like he tried to pull it there but he swings right through the fastball 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 can't keep the weight back and he falls behind one and two a fastball but that's easy to layoff and it's back to even a two and two all swung on and missed for the first out I always like watching pitchers that attack with their fastballs until there's a reason to start mixing it up he hasn't needed many of the secondary pitches so far this one and there was another good fastball for a strike out there first pitch a check at first and he'll dive back in safely so now to the plate Jean Carlos Stanton hit in the air down the right field line but this is going to wind up a foul ball I'm set and the 0 1 that's over but low it's a ball in a strike runners on first with one down I changed things up but I mean he got him to swing through it one and two now looking to punch him out again the pitch to two balls and two strikes now not where he wanted that fastball to be and it's three and two now not a bad time right here to put that runner in motion three to count you send the runner and if it's a bad pitch it's ball for runner at first year one man out ground ball right side the second for one onto the pitcher covering it first and it's your textbook three six one double play that'll get him out of the inning so they breeze through this half of the inning we'll see eight nine and one do up in the bottom of ending number six it's the Yankees one the Jays nothing up next is Danny Jansen will start things out in their half of the sixth as they look to shake things up for a lineup that quite frankly has been non-existent to date no doubt about that now they've been completely overmatched to this point one hit through five innings I mean what else can you say about the pitching they faced other than it's been fantastic we'll see if that continues as we approach the later inning first pitch of the at bat on its way good late break to the slider here but he takes it in on the hands for ball one that evens it up one and one here's the pitch and he takes ball to and it's two and one this is it high in the air out toward left center after it is Gardner he makes the catch a great effort to get there and record the first out of the inning now batting center fielder Derek Fisher one out now in the Toronto sixth inning and up next the University of Virginia product Derek Fisher first delivery to him on the way look like the fastball got away from him there one out nobody on that one either it's two and three and oh now hey he's had great command all day want to see how aggressive he is in the zone with a three ball count and he takes ball four so a good job out of the nine hole in getting on base as we go back to the top of the order this is only their second base one of the game after that earlier hit no score where you don't have anyone on bed so we'll see if they can get something going here at the plate Joe Pinnock he got on top of one it was a ground out victim last time yeah Matty expect this pitcher to try and get the same result that's his last at bat right here the double play is in order anything on the ground the way this defense is they could certainly roll to low one and oh fastball misses away here it's two and oh that's an impressive pitch right there if you're willing to throw a change up on two and oh that tells me that's a pitch you feel really confident with the two one grounded to third this could be two undo harsh got it there's one on the first it's a double play as their woes continue the inning is over around the horn they go five to four to three to end the threat on to the back third here this afternoon and we've got it for you on the show you're a pavilion is on the pitch from the bullpen now to start ending number seven number forty three there here we go seventh inning ready to roll so now it'll be the four hole hitter Gary Sanchez he struck out swinging in his last trip to the plate sometimes you just got to tip your cap to the guy on the mound he's getting paid to try and get you out as well anytime it gets up there north of seven eight pitch a bs sometimes it just comes down to pure execution let's see if he makes the adjustment right here according to the career numbers on the back of his baseball card Sanchez is carrying around a sparkling slugging percentage up over five hundred obviously a huge threat every time he grabs a bat one ball one strike to count slap hard the opposite way and there's a base hit so maybe some insurance here to lead off the seventh Dan right here you see a situation where no doubles defense kid comes back to bite you as a pitcher even aware when guys are playing a foot off the track I'll be honest with you D-roll you're so concerned about on the mound trying to get that white ball to that dark brown or black glove that I never really ever turned around to even though it's where they were playing I was concerned about getting the guy out swinging the bat and they start him out with a slider good spot but he doesn't get the fall one and all one for two in the ball game thus far the one oh it's on the ground a second did he get his double play to second for one on the first to double play that's a great example there of why the sinker is such an effective pitch the hitters eyes see it higher in the zone than it ends up and that makes it real tough to square up stepping in Tyler Wade a hidden two at bats for him at this point in the ball game first delivery to him on the way one oh the one oh home loud contact there but it's well foul the one two high in the air out to center field Fisher is going to have room out there as he puts this away to retire the side down in order go to Yankees they lead it one shot now bobe shit it's been a goal for two for him to this starting to run out of time they haven't been able to score any runs as we're moving late into this one a perfect time for this lead up guy to try to get on base and ignite a rally double barreled action in the Yankee bullpen now a lefty and a right-hander start to get loose no one to now that's a base hit in the center field with that the Jays put their lead off man on to start the inning you take a look at the numbers up to this point you see he's only given up to get so far today so he's been hitting his spots all game long remains to be seen if he can keep that shot out intact going forward but I'm not betting against him the plate now Vladimir Guerrero junior skied into straight away right judge is on the move he gets there to make the play for the first out of the inning the batter number 13 shortstop lord it so a runner at first now with one away and that brings up the exciting lordess Gouriel junior come set now the pitch fine drive to left Tuckman is there to put it away and the runner will be forced to retreat back to first well he hit that ball pretty well but the only problem was that he pulled off just a bit the location was a little on the outer half so he would have hit it even better if he would have stayed through the middle of the field with it now Randall Gritchett he hits with two away as they continue to trail in this close game well Matt this has been a big inning on the mound he's had to face the middle of the order and so far he's held them at bay yeah this feels like the kind of ending will look back on at the end of the game even if the result of it changes dramatically here comes set here's the nothing and nothing pitch there's a strike at the knees 0 and 1 I really like how he's been attacking hitters early in these a B's he's thrown strikes on the first pitch to over 70% of the guys he's faced so far set to deliver the 0 and 1 hard hit toward the hole dive and he knocks it down and a good effort here but he's well safe at first and there are two on and two out now up next to the blue game the left fielder Teos girl so that'll bring in Teosker Nandes as he looks at a fastball that's in there for strike one a hit and two tries for him so far pull the fastball down a little too much there that's ball one well the Blue Jays have been searching for that big hit pretty much all game they're hoping they get it right now this would sure be a good time two balls and strike the count here's the two one like this really matters so you can't afford to be giving out free passes this late and a fastball swung on and missed and a side is retired so it's no runs on two hits no errors and two men left stranded eighth inning coming up it's the Yankees one the Jays nothing like a lot it's been summoned from the bullpen as he'll do so to start the eighth number sixty three Wilbur all set for the start of the inning now batting torres it was a flyout for him in his last trip first offering on its way on the ground a third he's got it throw on to first in time so the leadoff man is set down to open up ending number eight now batting comfort very tight ball game so far one nothing to score as we take a look at our starter comparison and both guys have given excellent performances to this point the plate now look boy one for two on his line so far in the game he's ready here's the first offering and they go right after him on the inside corner for strike one faces are empty one man at a ball that bounces up to the plate it's one and one fastball swung on a missed I think it's safe to say he wasn't ready for the fastball wow was he behind that fastball great job on the mound using the curveball to set up the heater and they could go either way now I suppose count even at two and two and that's taken high ball it's full now three and two look like he tried to elevate a fastball on that two to pitch there but kind of overdid it with a pitch that high it's pretty easy to lay off if you're the hitter and he will make the play out there and there are two away now now batting left field Mike talk now at the plate Mike talkman he went down on strikes last time up yeah maddie big time K last time up and it's been a tough series for him so far you can tell he's just not seeing the ball off this team let's see if he can make an adjustment right here and that's in there so perhaps some life here with two men out so the two out hit keeps the top of the eighth inning extended boys so frustrating as a pitcher you make a quality pitch on the inside half to the plate right there try to bust him in D. Rowney fights it off the other way yeah you tip your hat to the pitcher right there he executed his pitch but nice job by the offensive player fighting it doesn't matter what it looks like a knock's a knock and they start him out away with a cold strike offer two from him so far in this one 0 1 pitch 0 and 2 now as a curveball drops in there for a strike or you could see he's coming right at this guy just pounding the ball in the strike zone he certainly has the advantage now this guy hasn't even swung the bat yet started the breaking ball far too inside that time laid off for ball one he didn't look overly fooled right there because a lot of pitchers will go to the breaking stuff 0 and 2 but he certainly looked ready for a breaker on that pitch the 1 2 he has swung on and missed he got him on strikes Yanks leave one but they're up 1 to nothing stepping up now he tell us over 2 for him to this point this things far from over even though we're moving into the back end of this game only down by one all they need to do is get this leadoff guy and they're an extra base hit away from tying this thing up and a half hearted swing there as he tried to go the other way and it's strike one you never want to take the aggression away from a ball player but in this situation I'd like to see the leadoff guy try and work to count a little bit more especially when this pitchers missing like and through into that field so the time runs aboard to kick off the inning leadoff hitter finds his way on base should be interesting to see the cat and mouse with the manager does he use the bunt right here do we play a little bit and run on do we go old school school just let him swing away should be interesting time called here as with the potential time run aboard they'll make the move to get a little more speed out there Danny Jansen and it's fouled away he's over two in the ballgame so far until left field Tuckman will settle under it to make the play for the first down as the runner will have to head back to first the batter the center fielder Derek Fisher ready for another chance Derek Fisher on the stretch ball one one off the frustrating for a picture make a close pitch like that that just barely misses who that's a tough one to get back nine towards center field Gardner will have plenty of room as he makes the catch and there's a big out number two the batter number two second baseman so a pivotal moment here and digging in now Joe panic and he does so representing the possible go ahead run first pitch on its way of all the no strikes to out with the man at first can't waste getting the lead off runner on in this situation someone's got to bear down and get a big knot Sanchez shading to his right and that retires the side one left for Toronto there on the short end of a one to nothing score Jordan B. Geer will stay in the ball game and she'll take over at first base now playing birthday number eight Thomas Panone enters from the pen to start the ninth inning as he'll try to keep the school right where it is heading to the bottom of the ninth set to start the ninth in this one at the plate Aaron judge you could really use a knock here over three in the game so far here comes the first pitch ninth inning underway now as the first pitch is taken for a cold strike he'll be fine coming out of the bullpen in this one if he can keep the ball around the knees like that into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 all over that one but a little out in front foul ball when the guy on the mound has complete command of his off speed especially his change up sometimes as a hitter you just have to give up pull side to stay on it and good take that time on a low breaking ball two and two now fastball didn't miss by much and it's a full count now three and two to be honest with you I'm a little bit more afraid of the guy on deck to the guy that's up right now if I'm on the mound I want this guy up right now he's the guy that's got to beat me fouled away they off the game toward right center and there's a base hit and this could wind up as an important insurance strike here is the leadoff man's aboard to start the ninth boy Dero there's a case of the outfield of defense playing so deep that that ball looked like it was extra bases all the way but they were able to cut it off yeah not too many times I would agree I'd love to hear your take on this as well the no doubles defense I kind of like the pitcher if he can execute the game plan could keep the ball in front of the outfielders but right there boy I was wrong that worked Jean Crello Stanton is in now as he watches a pitch for ball one the 1 0 misses for the second ball and some action now in the Toronto bullpen as a right-hander starts to get loose one run game here in the top of the ninth down and in not hard to lay off that hitting hasn't started ideally for him on the mound but here on three no you have to have the mentality that you're only a strike and or a ground ball double play away from getting back on track from the belt the pitch slap hard the opposite way Richard is there and he makes the catch for the out now batting the catcher Gary Sanchez digging in now for the Yankees Gary Sanchez last time he was a base hit first offering on its way good off speed pitch had him out in front for strike one this is where you step out adjust the batting gloves and take a deep breath you have to slow the moment down I know you want to be a hero but that pitch right there a great executed change up had this batter way out in front a ball in a strike now one and two to the Yankees catcher great pitch in that situation he makes contact on that one more batting into a double play this ball said a ton out to center field going back his Fisher on the warning track he makes the catch now batting third base Miguel and do hard so it's a runner at first with two men out and striding into the plate it'll be Miguel and do hard from the stretch hit in the air down the right field line swung on and lifted in the air to left Fisher will get there and he puts it away to retire the side one left for the Yankees but they're on top one to nothing next will be the designated hitter Bo Bechet he's going to lead things off in their half of the ninth as they try to avoid the dreaded shutout it's never a good feeling to get shut out and over the course of the season it's bound to happen a few times they've just been over maxed by good pitching third baseman hug in the line here now the first strike here out towards left center long run for the left fielder and this will get all the way to the wall now and at second base is the time runs aboard with a lead off double up next to the blue finally a little something for them to get excited about a rally can begin with a single swing of the bat this might be their chance right here they struggled to produce a lot of runs but there he is at second base a shot to the outfield scores and then who knows what kind of role they have got to take it one good at bat at a time here comes the Yankee manager now up out of the dugout on his way to the mound and that will bring an end to the appearance by J half so as he departs he can't lose this ballgame but he is responsible for the runner at second meaning it'd be a no decision if that run comes across to score number so a new pitcher is set to take over now and here he is the fire balling left hander a oldest Chapman stepping in and ready for another shot Vladimir Guerrero Junior not much in the way of productivity from him so far but he's got a chance to come through here in a crucial spot yeah it's time now that he has to put the rest of those bats behind him because none of that matters if he can clutch up when it really counts with the first pitch here it comes sky down the left field line and this will wind up a foul ball this has to be a productive at bat right here I know you want to drive the run in and get the RBI but you have to find a way bare minimum to move this runner over the third second nobody out one and two now is that one's fouled off two and two back to back sliders in on the hands he didn't handle it real well at all in the previous pitch so why not come right back with it again better job of laying off that one though two to three he's laid off and the count runs full job to spoil that one away and he stays alive seventh pitch of the at bat coming up so we've taken in at second base good positioning for the first up next to the blue game not shortstop Lord it go to hell ready now Lord is going to go to work on getting that tying run home from second first pitch of the at bat and some action out in the Yankee bullpen now as a right hander starts to loosen up no runner on second base tied to a no no Chapman Nick named the missile for obvious reasons he's in year one of a new three year deal pulls this one in the air out to left left fielder is on the move he's got it and nice play there two away the right fielder number 15 Randall Rick it blue Jays down to their final out now and the big right handed bat of Randall Gritchick saunters into the batter's box next triple digits on the radar gun final strike for the blue Jays that misses says the home plate on fire one and two where it misses I'm not quite sure a great case of a manager sticking up for his pitcher right there and giving that umpire an earful he didn't get that pitch called the way he struck him out so he'll strand the possible tying run at second and a great job of working out of trouble as this ballgame is over while that's a rarity a one nothing game in baseball these days both of these pitchers pitch awfully well it's a shame one of them had to lose this game a single run good enough to do it today one nothing the final score New York used a nice fifth inning to take the lead and they never gave it back Jay Hap earns his sixth winning decision in this one Matt Shoemaker has settled with the loss after giving up only one earned a oldest Chapman
