For those of us who know a friend or loved one who has been swindled into joining an MLM We wonder how the person can get trapped in such an obvious scheme If you're someone who was once stuck in an MLM, you may be wondering how you didn't see the science earlier Although many people point out the shady techniques of MLMs like Lula Rowe, Dolterra, and Arbonne, there's a big piece of the puzzle that's missing and that's the psychological aspect Something I spend many hours each week studying are various thinking flaws that all of us humans fall victim to Many of these are cognitive biases that lead to us becoming the prey of different fallacies Today, we're going to be talking about how MLMs exploit these cognitive flaws to keep people trapped But more importantly understanding these fallacies can help us make better decisions in all areas of our lives It's also crucial to understand that there are external fallacies that we fall for as well as internal ones While MLMs are able to convince people that it's their fault. They aren't making money We're also going to discuss an internal fallacy that simply magnifies the first one when we're able to first acknowledge What's happening and then take a step back. We can make better rational decisions Not only will it help us better understand people who are victims of MLMs But there are many other benefits as well Even if you've never been a part of an MLM or know anyone who has been being able to identify these Psychological flaws can help you with your career Relationships and your finances since learning about these flaws with my own cognition I've been able to make better decisions and it's made my life run a little bit smoother And I hope it can do the same for you But before we get started if you're new to the rewired soul make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell here We use critical thinking and practice skepticism to improve our decision-making skills and overall well-being Also, I won't be citing any specific books in this video But if you want to learn more about the topics that I cover I will be providing some of my favorite books on the subject down in the description below For many of us and developed capitalist nations were driven by the idea of meritocracy and hard work in one 2016 survey roughly 64 percent of Americans say that they believe that Determination and hard work are the most important success factors from a young age We're all taught that if we work hard we're going to succeed, but unfortunately MLMs take advantage of this MLMs start by advertising to people that there's going to be an easy way to make some extra money And it's one of the reasons they target stay-at-home moms They discuss how beneficial the product is and how it basically sells itself Not only will you be able to work from home while taking care of the kids But you'll be able to make thousands of dollars a month Within a few months some alarm start going off in the new MLM recruits head They followed all the strategies that the MLM taught them, but they aren't making any sales They've messaged all their friends and family members on Facebook But not only do they get no sales, but they ruin a few relationships along the way They sit back and wonder if I signed up Why is it so hard to get others to sign up and then they may start thinking that they got suckered into a scam During the MLM team calls and seminars some of these new recruits may bring up their concerns But now the narrative changes although they were told that this was going to be simple They're now being told that they aren't working hard enough The money makers in the MLMs tell people that they only get out what they put in and if they work harder They can become extremely successful The new recruit goes from being skeptical about their original decision to sign up to believing It's their fault while some may call this a clear sign of gaslighting There's something less obvious at play and that's the just world fallacy The just world fallacy is something many of us are affected by when we live in this meritocratic society This fallacy is the misconception that people who are losing at the game of life must have done something to deserve it It's easy to see how this plays out in MLMs If you're not selling enough essential oils You're not working hard enough. If you just message more people on your Facebook friends list or invested a little more into your business You'd succeed. The problem with this is that it's unfalsifiable How could you ever run a proper experiment to see if this product or business model doesn't work? If the only answer you get is that you're not working hard enough as someone who worked in sales in my early 20s I can tell you it's not just MLMs who do this to people Sales teams have some of the highest turnover rates because they're all about making money And if you're not selling they say it's your fault What's worse is that we fall for this just world fallacy in other parts of our life and think it's the reason we keep getting into Toxic relationships or can't pay our bills The reality is that the world is much more complex than that And there's much more that goes into the decisions that we're making as well as what's happening in our lives Lastly, there's an internal fallacy that we fall for that's more about us than it is about them While MLMs may be able to exploit this fallacy the members don't even realize how often it happens for those who are in MLMs, it's easy to look at the investment you've made and use that as Justification to invest even more when you put yourself into the shoes of the person who joined the MLM You may relate to their experience with how they feel trapped when someone joins an MLM There's an investment of both time and money for most of these MLMs You have to pay money upfront for the product and then the person who recruited you makes more money by requiring you to have A monthly stock you've also invested a lot of time in this thing Where you've done their trainings and online seminars and you've spent hours reaching out to people to try to get them into Your downline after you had your doubts and they told you that you're just not working hard enough You're still thinking about giving up, but then you remember something you remember that you've already spent hundreds or even Thousands of dollars starting this business Maybe you tapped into your savings or move money around to make this happen You may have even had arguments with your significant other about starting this venture So you can't give up now This is what's known as the sunk cost fallacy and it's something that can happen to any of us The sunk cost fallacy is when we chased after something just because we've already invested in it This is something that economic students and investors are taught But this also plays a massive role in behavioral economics Think about that beater car that you used to have and you put a bunch of money into it Right after a repair something else broke and you just had to fix it again because you already invested in it Soon you realize you've spent way more money on repairs than the car is actually worse And that's because of the sunk cost fallacy. We also see this in relationships much like MLMs People stay in abusive toxic relationships way too long because of the time and effort that they've put into them If you've been with someone for months or years, you may not want to feel like those months or years were wasted So you decide to stay in the relationship Meanwhile, you're wasting more time chasing the sunk costs So what can we do to avoid these two cognitive flaws? Well first we need to realize that although karma is great in theory It's not always how things work out Anyone with life experience can look at multiple events in their life where they did everything right but got a bad result Sometimes it's not a just world Sometimes good people fail and bad people succeed other times we can work until we're blue in the face But it doesn't guarantee that we're gonna become millionaires when it comes to some cost I've personally benefited from realizing when to pick my battles many times What's spent is spent and I'm never getting it back while we may be able to get a refund on some purchases We can't get a refund on time So to counteract that just world fallacy and some cost fallacy Sometimes the best thing we can do is just take the loss and move on If not, we just invest more time and money into something that isn't paying off The only thing that we're truly investing in is our own suffering Alright everybody. Thank you for checking out this quick video essay I've been meaning to talk about MLMs for a long time and I could do a million of these diving into Psychology and just all sorts of interesting things about it I know some of you have been waiting for me to make a video on this So here's the first one if it does well if you guys like it, I will do some more But yeah, I really wanted to make this one even though it was a little bit shorter than some of my other Videos like I've been having so many ideas lately and I just don't know which one to do So I want to start doing like shorter videos and just kind of knock them out So anyways expect more videos because I need to get some of these ideas out of my head on the paper Then on the YouTube if you're not by the way if you're not if you want like sneak peeks of all these videos Make sure you're following me over on medium because I write all of these out in essay form Post them on medium and then I record a video when I get some time But there's also some stuff I'm posting over on medium that I'm not even making a YouTube video for So if you want more of me for some reason, I'm over on medium I love writing writing. It's my original class. So that's what I like doing But yeah, and make sure you're following me on social media so you don't miss out and all that kind of stuff But if there's any topics or anything like that that you want me to dive into Let me know and yes, I am still going to record something for spooky season I wanted to get this out because it's just been on my mind But anyways anyways, I'm gonna let you go now. You're all great But I'm gonna I'm gonna let you get back to your thing Anyways, if you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell And a huge huge thank you to everybody who supports the channel over on patreon And as I mentioned, uh, if you want to learn more about the topics I covered check the description down below There are affiliate links to the books that I love on this subject of better decision making Seeing these like cognitive biases we have and all that stuff. All right. Thanks again for watching. I'll see you next time


Even though we think of computers as super complicated high-tech machines with very tiny parts, they can also be huge wooden and mechanical just like this computer here. And even though they look very different, they're both made of the same basic part. A switch. One switch doesn't seem very interesting. It's either off or on. But if we arrange switches in a specific pattern, we can do math or logic. For instance, this circuit turns on the light if both switches are turned off. But this circuit turns on the light if either or both switches are turned off. If we connect more switches, we can do more complex math and logic. So fundamentally, a computer is just a carefully constructed arrangement of switches. A light switch has a mechanical input and an electrical output, but because the input and output types are different, we can't connect the output of one to the input of another. In order to make more complicated circuits, we need to switch with the same input and output types so that we can string a bunch of switches together. Our DigiComp has switches with a mechanical input and mechanical output. Just like a light switch, these switches have two states. Either left and right, off and on, or zero and one. What's really cool here is that instead of programming this computer by writing code, we program it by physically setting the position of several different switches. I'll now set this computer to count the number of balls in the top tray by setting the count switch to on. The sum is given by this bank of switches here. We'll set the sum to zero before we start counting. Now let's start counting by pressing this lever. Math problem the computer solved was zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero. Plus one. As the ball goes through the system, it changes the first switch from a zero to a one so that the sum now reads zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, one. Or simply one. Now let's count the second ball. So what happened this time? I'll reset the sum back to one. The math problem that we solved was zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, one, plus one. The DigiComp adds one to the first switch, but since it's already full, it carries the one to the second switch. The sum ends up being zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, one, zero, which is two in binary. Let's count the third ball. After the third ball, we can see that the sum is now zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, one, one, which is three in binary. In addition to counting, the DigiComp can add, subtract, multiply, and divide. The number of switches determines how big the numbers can be. This DigiComp has 31 switches and can count up to 127. But modern computer chips have over a billion switches. They're made from wafers such as this one, where each square represents a chip. They're made from semiconductor switches called transistors, which have the advantage of being solid state, meaning they have no moving parts. This allows engineers like me to make them smaller, faster, and more energy efficient. We can make them over a billion times faster than the DigiComp. These semiconductor switches make modern electronics possible.


Previously, on our exploration of spiritual money, we discussed and explored the wealth archetypes. These six unique archetypes that, generally speaking, describe the most common money themes that people face in our modern world. The idea of moving to a resource-based economy and transitioning into a new way of global wealth is one that we're moving to, both as a species and even inside of the series. But in order to get there, we have to evolve our understanding of wealth and money, which takes each of us discovering what it means to be able to create wealth in all of the ways that wealth can show up in our lives. In my own spiritual wealth journey, learning from many books and some amazing mentors, I have found that creating money actually boils down to one simple thing. Are you ready? Here it is. Wealth is a byproduct of value creation. Let me say this again. Wealth is a byproduct of value creation. In fact, creating value generates so much more than just wealth. Value creates meaningful experiences, deep connections, authentic transformations, and so much more. You can see this in several ways in the world, both in how it works and how it's broken in society, stemming from our understanding collectively and individually. We often complain about these rich people ruling the world, and certainly they're people with massive wealth in the world, and they influence society in literally whatever direction they want, and it's not always heart-centered. Now, for just a moment, let's put the lack of heart aside and look at this from another perspective. How did they earn it? For example, in the case of all these super-rich oilmen, they provide the global human society with a source of energy that's in very high demand. They're creating value for billions of people and are thusly some of the richest people in the world. We know that there are better, cleaner sources of energy, and that these people may even fight to suppress those industries, certainly. However, if we're looking purely at how these people got so wealthy, we can still see that they created value. Same with any other massive company, Apple, Microsoft, McDonald's, Walmart, they all grew to being these billion-dollar companies and industries by providing some kind of service. Whether it's healthy or not aside, that's how they did it. They provided something that millions or billions of people want to spend their money on. But let's not just focus on these oil tycoons and other massive companies. Is it possible to create value in a healthy, positive way? Well, certainly. How about J.K. Rowling, who through her passionate writing inspired and influenced generations of people with her incredible storytelling? The results? She almost became a billionaire. Same with Oprah, who used communication, listening to others, and an exploration of the unknown to inspire tremendous wealth, which she still uses today to influence the global conversation in the direction of love, wisdom, and spirituality. We can also look at Vishen Lakhyani, the creator of Mindvalley, who supports a massive community in the awakening process, helping people connect deeper with themselves and each other. If we can understand the relationship between value creation and wealth, we can plant the seeds of new industries and establish a new generation of spiritual business, or at least establish for ourselves a method of working and creating resources in the world that is in alignment with our spiritual centers. You can see this big disconnect then, when you ask the average person, how do you make more money in life? Most commonly, you'll hear the response, well, you put in overtime, you get more shifts, and you work harder. However, what you'll find is that the results of this mentality are, like the approach, a little diluted. If you're working eight hours a day and getting paid minimum wage and struggling to get by in life, the solution is not working 12 hours a day. That's just a recipe for becoming burnt out, stressed, tired, and maybe even a little neurotic. Think about it. Instead of working harder at a low-income job, the key to solving your financial problems is by creating work for yourself in the world that offers greater value to those in need. How can you be in service in a greater capacity? And if you truly want to be in spiritual alignment with yourself, can you do so and also do something that you're passionate about? Now, let's explore a practical example here. If you're working the checkout at a grocery store, the amount of value that you're creating is not very much. That job is easily replaceable. It doesn't take much training, and so the companies who are hiring checkout people are not going to pay you very much, because that's how much it's worth to them. And please understand, if you work at a checkout in a grocery store, this does not mean you are not valuable. Just this particular skill is lower on the value ladder. But imagine now a good programmer, an artist, or an animator, or a specialized skill that is less common. These are skills that are in high demand and low in supply. Companies will hire quality skilled individuals and pay them very high amounts for producing quality material for their company. In fact, sometimes companies are based around it, like Apple being started from Steve Jobs' garage. Even Spirit Science was started in my parents' basement, built off of nearly 10 years of personal practice animating and learning, which stemmed purely from my own interests and passions. So the question you have to ask yourself is, what value are you adding to society or your community at large? In my wealth journey, perhaps one of the most practical perspectives that I've learned to make this understanding real in how to bring value and create wealth in the world is that it really all does boil down to skills. Now, in the past, I've spoken about Dan Lok.  That is, if you were to merge all of those together within a soul and make him a very heart-centered, compassionate businessman. Dan's mission is the elevation of wealth and financial confidence in the world, and he does it by helping people to elevate their minds and supports them in being in service to humanity in all manner of ways. The reason I bring this up is because Dan speaks often on the subject of high-income skills. He explains this dichotomy of skills, value, and wealth creation and teaches that if we want to generate more resources in our lives for the use of making life better for both ourselves and society at large, we must learn skills that are in high value and doing so provides you with financial confidence.  Everyone is valuable in life, but some skills are more valuable than others based on how easy they are, what they take to learn, how much effort is required to get good at it, and so on. This, in my understanding, is the bridge to the creation of wealth. Can you pair your own inner value with a valuable skill to become an instrument of service for the world? Speaking of value, there's something else that is tremendously important here, even more valuable than our money, and please take this super seriously if you want to shift your financial reality. Your time is far more valuable than money. Time is, in this dimension, a limited resource, and while yes, we are striving to evolve into a species that exists beyond the limits of time and space, we haven't yet crossed that threshold, so we must be mindful that in our existing state, each of us only has a limited amount of time. In life, you really can make as much money as you want, and all that's required is putting in the effort to see that it's done. This is where it becomes a challenge for many people who are working those 10 hours a day at minimum wage, and they feel like they can't escape the wheel, yet their existing job, or jobs, takes so much energy that they are exhausted and thus drained from being able to pursue their passions or learn a new skill. This is incredibly important to know, more than ever right now in 2020, with the change of the economic landscape of the world. Now is the time, the opportunity, to create massive transformation in our lives and in the world by taking some time to learn new skills and implement them in the world through our work and our intentions to be in service to humanity. So if you are wanting to generate more wealth, the first thing you have to look at is how much value are you creating in the world? Is the job that you have now limited in how much value you can supply to others? All it takes is honoring both the masculine and the feminine, and striving together to create a new paradigm of social harmony. So wrapping up this whole thing, ultimately, as Sifu Dan Lok would say it, for all of us that have struggled with money, it seems as though what we have is not a money problem, but a skill problem. If we can learn some high income skills, especially one relative to our wealth archetype, we can completely transform our financial lives by creating value in the world in a meaningful way that impacts the lives of all of those who your work touches. This journey of spirituality and money has really been a big part of our lives recently, as we've gone through a leveling up of our own mindset, which ultimately led to the creation of this very series. But still, there's so much more to share here, and so we've been working on something really epic for you. If you're someone who wants to go deeper, transform your relationship with money in a big way, and set yourself on the path for really creating anything that you want to in this life, then I'd like to invite you to come and experience our latest Spirit Mysteries Workshop, Spiritual Money Mastery. Not too long ago, we sat down on a live workshop with members of Spirit Mysteries for over nine hours in just one sitting, and explored very in-depth everything that we've learned about shifting one's financial paradigms. We also provide practical spiritual money skills that you can implement today, along with tons of bonuses like guided meditations and more, making it easy for you to pave the way for a new financial paradigm.

What are filters? Moodle has a number of filters which affect how elements of the course are displayed. This video displays in its own player because some multimedia plugins filter has been activated. To see which filters your Moodle administrator has made available, from course navigation click the more link and then filters. Note also that we can view and change filters for individual activities from the more link inside each individual activity as well. We now on the course filter settings page where we see a list of filters for the course. Activity names auto-linking is useful because it means we can refer to an activity simply by typing its name in a different part of the course and it will link to that activity. The multimedia plugins filter is enabled so we can display our sound and video files in a player. Glossary auto-linking means that if we add a key term to a glossary and then type that key term somewhere on the course it would automatically link to its glossary entry. But here is where it's useful to remember that you can turn this off in individual activities. For example you might not want that in a quiz if the key terms are included in the quiz questions. Let's turn this filter on and see how both the glossary auto-linking filter and the activity names auto-linking filter work in the course. In another video we added a glossary activity. So now with edit mode enabled I'm typing into the summary of the writing section and including a key term from that glossary and I'm also referencing one of the other activities in the course a book called language levels. If we now save the changes we can see that if we hover over the word adjective it takes us to the glossary entry we made in another video and if we click the words language levels it takes us directly to that activity in the course.


We are under the lights this evening as we get you set for another edition of baseball on the show a good match up Here for you tonight between the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees Yankee baseball starts now Jonathan Lois ago the Nicaraguan born pitcher against the call to start in this one then please act. What's the word on him? Hey, man, we're gonna look at a guy that's really been struggling lately in this last three starts He has a whip of over 1.5 0 lots of base runners lots of hits and lots of walks And that doesn't add up to very good performances So he's gonna look to turn things around in this one here today now batting mark Peyton and we are set for baseball here this evening Underway now on a Friday night as the first pitch of our series misses for ball one And as the Yankees get started here tonight guys They did get the win last time out But it hasn't been the best week for him as they've won just twice in their last six tries. Yeah, Maddie This is a classic case of hitting is contagious They scored a bunch of runs last game and his team is flying high right now. This is a fight at the bat rack And we could be in for a cold one tonight 52 degrees at game time, but should see the 40s before we're through Now the one-and-one pitch Count moves to a ball in two strikes now Hey last two pitches back-to-back off speed then he's laid on the fastball He could pretty much do anything he wants right here on the mound Swing and a ground ball to third. He's got it and the off-balance throw gets him nice play for the out Got it The plate now is the designated hitter Jesse Winker He's assuming the role of DH in this interleague 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 at bats or time in the field Here comes the first pitch What oh In his career Winker possesses a slugging percentage above the 450 mark. So he's capable of running into one here Hard liner, but picked up on a hop and there's out number two So bases are empty here with two gone and standing in is the on-base machine first baseman Joey Votto pitch on the way Swing and a liner And that gets down and ought to be good for extra bases and now it'll kick around in the corner And he'll coast into second here with a two-out double as we take a look at the replay here You can see that it was a hanging change of a nice job of staying back on it And he's able to tattoo it for a double and you know if that pitch would have supplied more velocity It might have been out of here. He hit it right on the screws Into the box a ohenyo Suarez as he looks at a fastball that misses off the plate for ball one Have to find a way to get that guy home from second now Never know how important these early runs can be Votto stands at second with two gone a ball in a straight Hey, I know we're only in the top of the first But back breaking blows are those two out runners in scoring position knocks and they have a chance to capitalize right here Boy Dero, you touched it on it right there I think as a pitcher you try to get through that first inning and not have to show all of your pitches and empty out the bucket That two-out double right now He's gonna have to buckle down to try to keep this game scoreless So let's take a peek at our umpire and crew in this one behind the plate is Gary Simmons Dero This Gary Simmons. He's the kind of umpire that pitchers really like to throw to yeah, I'm okay with it though Dan you want to go east-west. I'll make the adjustment. It's the north south that'll kill you And oh the offline throw as this takes off down the line in left field There's ball for The hitter was dug in looking for something to hit But he would have needed a telephone pole to hit that thing way out of the zone Stalker At the plate Mike Mestakis. He's ready for his first dat bat of his early season contest Come set. Here's the nothing-and-nothing pitch Fastball taken but that gets the zone for a strike Mestakis or just moose for short. This is his tenth season at the major league level so almost a decade, which is quite an accomplishment Foul tip held on to behind the plate at strike two The count doesn't mean much to this batter. He's all in he's not concerned with striking out So he's gonna get his a swing off Here it comes 0-2. I Love the fact that the hitter was able to foul that pitch away I always thought with two strikes you give the pitcher that inside part of the plate and you do your best to cover away The next oh two misses and that'll move it to one and two now Well, that's a smart miss there. Sometimes guys will chase it down there Especially when they're in protect mode on an 0 and 2 count Did a good job to shorten up and protect the plate and he'll have another shot at it here the 1-2 Is a fastball that misses These are the great matchups that happened throughout the course of the game. I don't think as a pitcher you can give in right here He's a great hitter at the plate. He knows it. You know it keep executing. Maybe get him to roll something over Open stance by Mestakis and now the pitch Swing and he pops him up and that'll get down for a base hit That can't bother you too bad Dan right there power guy at the plate and you're able to get in his kitchen Well, that that's a tough one to swallow right these big strong guys They like to get their arms extended that wasn't that bad of a pitch But he's just so strong that he's able to muscle that into the outfield grass Nick Castellanos now. Yes, he'll take a look at ball one the set and the 1-0 Ball to now. Here's the 2-0 Well, two on two outs and he's got himself in a great hitters count He just has to be careful not to get too aggressive. The walk would be good here, too Three balls and a strike to the beds left fielder 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 gotta believe he's gonna be way more aggressive right here 23 pitches already here in the first inning Now a fastball swung on and missed and it's full three and two Let's get it going boys. Somebody's loose hit 98 with ease in the first inning. He's sent the 3-2 Got him lively fastball that time and it puts an end to the inning Reds will be forced to settle for just the one on now to the bottom of ending number one It's the Reds one and the Yankees coming to bat. You're watching Major League Baseball on the show Anthony DiSclifani will be the one towing the rubber for the Reds Damn, please act. What do you got?  He gets a lot of swings and misses if he's on a lot of strikeouts early on in the game Here comes Brett Gardner now as he'll lead things off in the home first Now here's the pitch Good slider there gets a swing and miss and guys as we take a look at the Reds entering play here tonight They come in winners of two straight and looking to get things turned around in what hasn't been all that amazing a stretch for them Into the wind up here comes the 0 and 1 Filed off ready with the 0 to Play off the curveball that's in the dirt that time and it's back to even now at two and two Hey expect a challenge right here. Does not want to run the count full He founds this one off and this is swung on and missed as Gardner's a strikeout victim one away That exact And that'll bring up labor to rest labor is an offer for effort for him in Wednesday's ball game. He's ready. Here's the first offering Torres is a prolific power hitter and you probably didn't need me to tell you that doesn't matter What kind of pitching he faces? There's a lot of pop in that bat. Yeah This guy absolutely does not discriminate and you can close your eyes during batting practice and know exactly who's hitting the Baseball in the cage Edge of the zone that time taken and ruled a strike Got a pitch to the ballpark's dimensions right here. Love the execution of that pitch down in the zone Got to keep the ball in the yard even count two balls and two strikes Swing and a miss on the fastball that time out number two The main job of the number one and two hitters is to set the middle of the order up with an opportunity to do some damage So when you strike better than out, you're putting yourself in a pretty good position To make it through the teeth in a lineup without a whole lot of stress Here's big Aaron judge As you'll watch a slider that stays inside for ball one First two men in the inning have both gone down via the punch out so we'll see if he can fare any better Well should be two and all but he goes way out of the zone to go after that one and it's even one and one Well, that was an ugly swing if I'm pitching right now. I'm throwing that same pitch again. That was ugly And it's a ballman two strikes now to Aaron judge Just a bit low tough call, but it's two and two Looking to set down the side on strikes here. It comes now a foul tip held on to behind the plate at strike three and that ends the inning One two three go the bombers They're down one nothing Ready now. They're a steady Zekino. He's sitting just south of 300 in April the right view there Number 44 first pitch on its way and he'll try to crowd him there to start the at bat It's one and all close. It's two and all two balls on a strike Little hesitation right there by the batter is great execution by the pitcher down in a way That looked like a late swing could have been sitting on something else a Swing and a drive sent out toward the gap out of here into the visitors bullpen So a solo shot here to left center field eighth home run on the season for him And it's given since and adi a two to nothing lead Well, it's obvious. They didn't change their scouting report after yesterday's game He had two bombs yesterday and another one today. Hey, this pace can't continue But he's going to ride this wave as long as he can Play now Freddy Galvis He will look at a first-pitch fastball for ball one Well, Yankee Stadium, of course features a number of nods to the great history of the organization and its legendary players But apparently when you hit 52 home runs as a rookie you rightfully get your own cheering section built in your name What a magical year 2017 was for Aaron judge the slogan all rise fit him perfectly What's really cool about it was the Yankees weren't even sure he was going to make the team coming out of spring training He emerged into the scene was the talk of baseball going into the all-star break Finished that off with a powerhouse into the season one of the best young players the game and baseball seen in a long time All rise Aaron judge ground ball left side And the throw on the first will take care of him So he's thrown out by the only man standing on the left side of the infield one away the catcher Tucker Barnhart In now Tucker Barnhart and he's definitely off to a fast start in the early part of the season First pitch of the at bat Just off the outside that time laid off for a ball high in the air out to center field after it is Gardner He's got it a nice play there two away the center fielder number 34 mark Paper Digging in for his second at bat mark Peyton. He's over one after grounding out in his only trip to the plate so far Ready with the first pitch here. It comes Herbal looked at here for strike one. Here's the 0-1 pitch liner in there for a base head Hard bullet single the left field on a pitch that was kind of middle down in the zone D row He's gonna have to make some better pitches than that one. Yeah, he's gonna leave pitches over the heart of the plate He's gonna have a long night the middle of this order does serious damage and he'll dive back in safely To the plate now Jesse winker as the first pitch here has been high It's ball one over one here in the early going Hit hard towards center And that's in there base hit The bat and now time will be called here as you see the pitching coach making his way out to the mound to pay a quick visit So up steps the former MVP Joey Votto hit hard to the right side Two's all over the place two on two out and of course here in inning number two and a change up here But that's taken low in the dirt for a ball. Here's the one one now to Votto Fastball called strike one and two and that misses two and two Pretty good breaking ball to lay off of right there if I'm pitching I might think this guy might be sitting on something off speed Two down runners at first and second So a full count now He really needs to find a pitch to put this guy away with right here right now He can't allow this inning to get any worse than it's already become Pay off pitch on its way Lifted the other way down the left field line and that will end up a foul ball Good battle here. This will be the seventh pitch coming up and an off speed Swung on and missed and with that the side is retired One for the Reds in the inning and it comes courtesy of this solo home run We'll go to the bottom of the second to nothing since and atty So striding forward for his first opportunity Gary Sanchez as he's been a pretty good stretch over the last ten or so ballgames Hey, we're still in the early stages in this one They're only down by a couple of runs, but it's really key for this leadoff guy to try to get on and get a big inning started infield in the overshift here now the pitch Well ball and no strikes count one and oh the 1-0 If you've been paying attention the guy on the mound does not want to come inside if I'm at the plate I'm leaning out over hey, and he gets the slider over here. It's two and one now Nasty 2-0 slider right there for a strike no shame in tipping your hat Took a good cut that time. It comes up empty two and two What I love right there is just a freedom in that hack He ain't trying to do anything but hit the baseball as far as he can Not close with that one. It's way above the strike zone No pitcher likes to take the count to three and two especially when you throw a non-competitive pitch like that on two and two That one wasn't even close Now a swing and a miss as he picks up another one make it four strikeouts already and there's your first out Boy, he's really on a roll right here right now as we roll through it again Remember he struck out the side in the last inning and now he picks up right where he left off by striking off the lead-off man here Let's see if he can keep this going for a little bit Settling in now Jean-Carlo Stanton and we'll see if he can at least put the ball in play Something the first four men have been unable to do And now pitch on the way One app nobody on Behind 0 and 2 now inside as he might be trying to set him up here one and two Hey that 0-2 fastball wasn't even close, but I'm hit right now.  He's laid on a heater right there just saw an off-speed pitch one to stay back a little bit too long Three balls and two strikes to the Yankees DH 3-2 pitch Swung on and miss strike three Man he is looking flat out unhittable on the mound right now that's five straight punch outs I love it, but I think you might want to get his defense involved at some point. They don't fall asleep Here's the second baseman DJ LeMayhew As the first pitch misses to him, it's ball one They'll try to make something happen with two gone in the bottom of the second. It's fouled away the 1-1 Get back up the middle Dive, but he can't knock it down. It's through for a base hit the throw into second the tag And they'll get him at second and with that the side is retired So the Yankees go one two three they trail things here two to nothing Welcome back to the Bronx as we check in with Heidi Matt I had a chance to talk about the state of the Reds offense with their manager between innings and Flat out. He was very pleased with the quality of their at bats. It's still pretty early in the game But they've seen a lot of pitches already and he thinks the two runs They've pushed across so far is just the beginning given the quality of the at bats. They're putting together Good stuff Heidi. Thanks Striding in once again a O'Haniel swerves. He'll step in to lead it off in the top of the third One of the keys to securing a win They want to keep the pressure on and try to build that lead as much as they can moving into the later innings First delivery to him on the way There's a breaking ball that couldn't quite catch the inside Hey curveball to kind of backed up on him right there might have popped out of his hand Just a little bit earlier than he intended Now the 1-0 Swing and a miss that's the first strike And now a fastball, but he's able to hold off on it and it's two and one now He's fallen behind now three and one To be honest with you I'm a little bit more afraid of the guy on deck than 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 kind of beat me Swung on and missed three and two He got a swing and a miss on that last pitch, but that's not the location He wants to live in against the hitter of this quality Swing and a miss as he starts the third the same way he ended the second with a punch out one away Leading off the inning your job is to get on base and set the table for the inning That was a pretty good at that and I pushed the count to three and two and made the pitcher work But I think he'd like to have that three-two pitch back pretty sure that was ball for he went after At the plate Mike Mestakis, he'll take a look at a pitch too low It's ball one this year against right-handed pitching Mestakis brings batting line of barely over 200 so there's certainly some room for improvement there He'd be the first to tell you he's not happy with his bat and average this season But he can beach in a variety of different ways and he has to because he wouldn't be here otherwise And he takes a cold strike two. Oh, and this is swung on and missed four strikeouts already and that's out number two I'll tell you it's hard to get more of a confidence boost and striking out the best hitters in the lineup back to back to back He's looking really sharp right now Nick Castellanos hit the plate now As with two away, he'll swing and miss it a first pitch fastball for strike one over one for him here in this one Her ball that bounces up to the plate. It's one and one Hey, they tried to tie him up on that last pitch So I like that they went away with this one the execution didn't work, but I like the idea behind it To out nobody on how did weekly down the line toward third? Throw to first to get them easily in the side is retired Reggie down in order, but they're on top two to nothing back as the Yankees prepare for their third turn through the order Fans of the Bronx bombers have been treated to quite a bit of production from this lineup so far this year Within the league they rank among the leaders in batting average on base percentage and slugging when asked about their offense the players I talked with all brought up how multifaceted their talent is Saying they've got guys that can spray the ball around guys that work counts and draw walks And of course plenty of guys that can go deep and drive in runs their numbers certainly confirmed that guys All right, honey. Thank you the Yankee the left fielder Mike Ready here's the first offering Off the plate and away there one ball no strikes To an ode of the Yankees left fielder The two oh the good pitch there had him stretching to get out there, and it's two and two now Good patience to hold back on the curve ball in the dirt. It's full now three and two Hey, I know the idea is to try to get the guy to swing on a two-two pitch, right? But that one was so low. I don't know anybody that would have swung at that pitch And good patience exercised as he works out to walk to lead off the home half of her And that's what you'd want from your leadoff hitter shows some great patience and discipline Making the pitcher labor to start the game the result is a lead-off walk and a chance to make some early noise He's set here. It comes And who looks like he got the call there on the pitch inside. It's nothing in one Waved at and missed and he's behind on to working for the punch out and the offering This one's in the dirt, but it won't skip away far enough for the runner to advance to two Not what you want to do on the mound go from oh and two to three and two But print the man in the box for being patient even with two strikes Nobody outrunner on first And he lays off their ball for so back-to-back walks have him in business here with nobody out Two ways to look at this walk if you're the head coach you say that's a great a be down Oh, dude, 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 Now with the plate Mike Ford, here's the first pitch to him Hey two options if you're standing on the bump right now Have to find a way to punch this guy's ticket or roll a double play the old one pitch Yeah, you could tell he was ready for another fastball But the pitcher went to breaking ball and the hitter just fouls that one off Not in front of that one, but he stays alive and we'll do it again on oh and two thing in two count and the pitch The swing and a miss as he picks up yet another strikeout six of them already and there's one gone in the inning That's just quality pitching right there for that strikeout as we look at all five pitches Notice the location all five down in the zone. Some guys are real good low ball hitters But more often than not keeping the ball down is going to lead to a lot of success on the mound Here's Brett Gardner now as he'll come up empty there as he misses the off-speed pitch for strike one Looking to put the ball in play here He went down on strikes in his first step back one delivery rolled slowly down the first baseline This will get foul for strike two pulled toward right center field Long run for the center fielder. He gets there and makes the play for the second out of the inning Now at the plate Torres two on two out for him here in the third First pitch of the at bat on its way According to the career numbers on the back of his baseball card Torres hits a little over the 270 mark Here comes the 1-0 Mine to the right side and the two out threat will not come to pass as the inning is over a Couple of walks, but no damage. We're back to Friday night baseball on the show After this another chance Aristides Aquino, they'll try to get it going here to begin the fourth Yeah, Matt that last at bat that was a pretty good pitch a fastball down in a way that he went out and Pulled it. So if I'm on the mound right now I'm gonna have to think about throwing one up and in and standing this guy up to make that outside corner Not as appealing you want to home At the ball This is the cat mouse that I love right here you take the pitcher deep last time up now you're 2-0 again No way he gets a fastball right here line drive snagged on a short hop throw the first in time one gone here in the fourth So one away here with the base is empty and up next the former Philly shortstop Freddy Galvez Here comes the first pitch Good swing just got to try and straighten that one out and this one's gonna bounce up to the plate and easy take there It's three and one now That's in there and it'll run the count to full three and two Two runs of five hits and no errors in the game for Cincinnati thus far And he pops him up Drifting toward the left side of the infield. Oh, and they box this one as it drops in the infield And he'll reach first safely So now to the plate Tucker Barnhart as he takes a fastball off the plate for a ball one and all Fly it out in his first half bat. So make him 0 for 1 so far 1-0 pitch But fastball is just sizzling up there one and one hard liner But foul the 1-2 Is an off-speed pitch taken for a ball and it's up to a 3-2 full count now Not a bad time right here to put that runner in motion 3-2 count. You send the runner and if it's a bad pitch It's ball for Runner at first here one man out the rope to the second baseman thought the runner is back in time to avoid the double play the center fielder number 34 Mark Back to the top of the Reds lineup now and stepping in Mark Peyton a hidden two-at-bats for him at this point in the ball game First offering on its way No offer at that one. It's a cold strike in the dirt here a runner on first with two away No, one as he lays off below the zone curveball just about rung him up, but it's to two and two He might have to look for a different way to put this guy away on 2-2. He's already seen the curveball a couple of times So he might be looking for it Hit weekly back to the mound Pro on the first gets him and the side is retired One left for Cincinnati as they're unable to add to their 2-0 lead that'll bring up Aaron judge Strikeout victim in his first try things not very good so far in this one But we're still in the middle innings. They're down by a couple of runs And this would be the right place in the right time to get something going the last thing They want to do is to try to come from behind it and win this one in the eighth or ninth inning Failed away. Hey, that's taken now. It's a win to oh is he's able to lay off the slider I Could understand the first pitch being tough on the umpire to debate whether it was a striker of ball But no debating that last one that thing was way off To the left side, but it's well fouled one to delivery Swing and a miss on the slider and that's out number one Boy, it's been a rough go through these middle innings so far this offense right now Really doesn't have an answer for anything that he's thrown Gary up down in and out in the strike zone He's been awfully dominated up to this point in now Gary Sanchez And it's grounded just fouled down the line comes into this at bat offer one in the ball game the pitch He struck him out good pitch there as he registers his eighth punch out of the ball game Certainly not showing any signs of intimidation with these middle of the order guys That's not that case and the three and four guys are harmlessly back in the dugout Ginkrono Stanton now Yes, he pops the first pitch foul behind the plate. He's over one thus far The one fouled off and he's quickly behind o1 to and he's got himself another one as he picks up strikeout number nine here And the side is retired one two three go the bombers. They're down two to nothing Your attack will come on out of the ball and as he'll be appearing in this third game this season number 61 bad Heller now the designated hitter for the Reds Jesse Winker one for two on his line so far in the game Here comes the first pitch Low one and oh now here's the pitch Down the first baseline, but a foul ball one and one Here's the pitch Maybe trying to back him up a bit there with the fastball There's Joey Vado as he gets ready in the on-deck circle 3-1 high in the air out to center field Gartner on the move And he tracks it down nice play for the first out the first baseman number 19 Joey Vado In his Joey Vado now one for two including a double back in the first and the pitch Lifted the other way to left center Tuckman will range to his left as he tracks this one down in left center for the second out of the inning the third baseman number seven a Eugenio To gone in the Cincinnati fifth and that'll bring in a Eugenio Swarovs first pitch coming here. It is what oh Two runs six hits and no errors in the game for Cincinnati thus far That'll be a souvenir and the count will move to one and one Now here's the pitch Well, and able to lay off the fastball the way here two and one now To hide that time and it's three and one Mike Mestakis would be next three and one pitch He loses him on ball four So that's the second walk he's worked in this one Yeah, that seems to be a popular approach when this guy steps in he can really hurt you with one swing So I think the idea is mostly not to let this one guy beat you Matt So a runner at first with two away and up next the former World Series hero Mike Mestakis Open stance by Mestakis and now the pitch Strike one to start the ad bat on its way the 0-1 pitch In there strike two There seem to be different philosophies on it. So Dan, what was your approach at 0-2 counts? My philosophy is this I think the last thing you want to do is throw non-competitive pitches Matt Throw something down in the zone or just out of the zone, but something way out of the zone doesn't serve any purpose kicks and deals To two balls and two strikes now Two out with the man at first Fastball didn't miss by much and it's a full count now three and two Good running count right here three balls two strikes two outs run run first He'll be off to the races on this pitch working for the punch out and the offering Just stand alive putting together a really good at bat here And he misses again ball for and that's back-to-back guys now that have reached base via the base on balls He did not want to let the hitter up the hook with two outs And now he's got a runner in scoring position to deal well So it's first and second with two men gone and the right-handed hitting Nicholas Castellanos will bet next Kicks and deals Looking at his lifetime numbers Castellanos comes into action carrying a slugging line above 470 Obviously a potent hitter looking to do some damage right here the 1-0 Hit out towards second, but may he was towards second.  It's the reds to and the Yankees nothing Welcome back for the bottom of the fifth. Here's Heidi Watney Thanks, Matt. I talked with the Yankees manager Aaron Boone during the break about the team's offensive performance so far and Overall, he's really happy with the app. That's they're putting together No, they have not scored yet, but they have been successful in running up the pitch count Something they feel will eventually pay dividends on the scoreboard as the starter gets tired And they are forced to go to the bullpen for now. They're sticking to the plan All right, Heidi. Thank you and that sends DJ Mayhew into the box He starts off the inning against a guy who struck out the side last inning how did it get to him? Thank you. I'm not sure Matt that they want to stay as patient. He's been throwing a lot of strikes They might want to start swinging a little bit earlier in the count ready with the first pitch here. It comes And this miss is outside and a bit high one ball no strikes That's who and oh now low and the plot thickens here three and oh Hey throwing the ball great up into this point. Don't want to allow a lead-off walk needs to just focus in on his mechanics right here My fastball is in there a swinging bunt out in front of the plate and there's one down now Now batting left fielder Mike Talk man Coming to the plate now Mike talkman. He drew a walk his first time up pitch on the way That's a fastball too high to start him out here one and all Bases are empty one man out a walk for on that one two balls in a strike Now a hard liner But this is a foul ball Here now the two-two Doesn't get the zone count full now part hit ball to short Galvis has it Throw in time at first per out number two the batter number 29 Standing in Geo or Shella. He drew a base on balls his first time up now here it comes This guy's got to be pretty proud of what he's done so far It's never easy to pitch on the road But to have this kind of outing in a ballpark that is notoriously known as being hitter friendly It's been a treat to watch Into the wind up here comes the oh and one One in one Bases are empty here with two men out. He founds this one off Looking for his tenth strikeout. Here's the pitch And he will strike him out 10 now in the ball game and the inning is over So the Yanks go one two three they trail it here two to nothing Your green will come on in relief now as you'll make your 10th appearance of the season number 57 Green half of the sixth about to get started digging in to try it again Aristides Aquino perhaps he can drive another one out of the park just like he did back in the second first pitch of the at-bat Oh one on its way Nope that's down 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 and one on its way Now a fastball gets the upper part of the zone for strike two Great job of doubling up with the fastball inside a lot of times You'll see a pitcher go in there, but they won't go back in there a second time This guy's not afraid to pitch inside the two two Down the left field line and deep And this will wind up a foul ball goes down and gets this one as it's lifted high into the air out to medium deep center Gardner is right there one down now batting the shortstop Freddie Galvid at the plate Freddie Galvis as the switch hitter will take his cuts left-handed here One of the things this guy would like to do from the left side is swing it a little bit better against right-handed pitching This guy has decent numbers, but not great numbers against right-handed pitchers one ball. No strikes to count One out nobody on And he falls behind down to a no found it softly down the line toward first Sent fouled again and after being way ahead now. It's even a two and two now. Here's the pitch And this is swung out and missed so it's two up two down to start the sixth inning Well, we'll see a lot of these power arms coming out of the bullpen in these days So bad it doesn't make it any less impressive to me. I love watching guys come in and blow smoke right by guys Into the box now Tucker Barnhart as he lays off a fastball too low for ball one No hits to this point the 1-0 home Mrs. Ball 2 Two and one now the two one Lifted the other way out to left center And you'll get there in plenty of time to put this one away and that ends the inning One two three go to Reds, but they hold a two-nothing lead now with the plate Mike Ford He'll start things out in their half of the six We go they look for things up here for a lineup that quite frankly has been non-existent to date That 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 In field shifted well to the right. Here's the first pitch Boy, they've been just getting shut down right here. Then a while soon They've even had a runner on so I think it's time to start looking for ways to make some things happen Drop a bond get off on the plate something a bouncer up the middle fielded by Galvis And the inning begins with a quick out number one the center fielder number 11 Brett Yardner So the lineup flips over and digging in Brett Gardner. He flew out at his last ad bat First pitch of the ad bat on its way Count now a ball in a strike the 1-1 Everything this guy throws is hard that change if he throws is in the high 80s to go along with that good heater I'm trying to pick up that outside corner But this misses and it's back to even at two balls and two strikes now the 2-2 To right field and deep look at this thing go Right fielder looking up Goes the dynamite solo shot here to straight away right field home run number three here in the early going And the Yankees are on the board. It's now a 2-1 ball game bomb didn't tie things up But they're only down one right now and feeling pretty good. They can come back That's your top as the first pitch to change up. We can't find One he's 0 for 2 in the ballgame so far hit well on the ground Fielded by Vado Now that the right field Now at the plate Aaron judge he's hit listen is to at bats so far first pitch coming here it is That one's right down the middle for a strike with the fastball And now the Reds are gonna get the bullpen moving here And it's a lefty and a right-handed up and throwing the wind up and a 01 One in one this one's outside quite a bit off the plate that time Looks like this guy's afraid to throw the ball in the strike So gave up that home run earlier in the inning needs to get back to being aggressive Grounder down the line at third and that finds its way through for a base hit throw into second the tag And they'll get him at second and with that the side is retired the Yankees claw back a bit thanks to the home run Top of the order do up to start the seventh. It's the Reds two and the Yankees one What exactly Britain is on the pitch from the bullpen now to start at number seven number 53 Britain We've got for the red to the plate now Mark Peyton Mark as the first pitch sinker who misses to him. It's ball one. He's working on a one for three thus far the 1-0 Is a slider taken for a ball? Big sweeping breaking ball right there a good pitch But if he wants to get him to swing at it he'll have to bring it in a little bit closer to the strike zone Now the 2-0 is offered added missed for the first strike Given some leeway on the outside edge here two and two now now the pitch And a good bite to that slider as he swings through it for the first out of the inning You know, it was really impressive to me about that strikeout He fell behind to know to start the bat But that's a pretty bad place to be but then he kind of refocused himself and came right back with three Quality pitches in a row to sit him down. That's not easy to do but now his focus has to hone in on getting ahead on the next guy At the plate now Jesse Winker as the sinker to him finds the zone for strike one He's got a hit in three at bats to this point is the 0-1 We're in the seventh inning now of a pitchers dual two to one our score And it's fouled away. Here comes another 0-2.   It's two and two Just low that time with the heavy sinker is it's ruled ball three Well, all of the umpires in the seats thought that was strike three and they weren't far off But I think that was a good call look to be just a bit outside now the three and two pitch is swung on and misty got him In order they lead it to the one Lorenzo gets the call from the pen to take over on the mound and start the home Be the four-hole hitter gary Sanchez Oh for the catcher to this point Gary this thing's 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 Too high at that time with the slider to start the ad bet it's ball one Teared down the first base line, but a foul ball one-on-one two balls in a strike Takes this the other way to right and that finds an outfield grass. It's a base hit With that the Yankees a quicker leadoff hitter aboard to start out the inning They need to be aggressive right here from the offensive standpoint leadoff base hit bottom of the seventh You're down one. No, this has to be the moment they scratch Box next will be Giancarlo Stanton Two and runs a bit inside for ball one head-to-head numbers against Michael Lorenzen He's gone two for five two balls and no strikes the county Stanton Couple strikeouts early in a 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 Two balls in a strike Lorenzen has a good reputation for preventing the long ball One swing can change the complexion of the ball game when you're coming in late But he rarely lets that happen part of what makes him as effective as he is When you're playing close games like this base runners mean everything so he can ill afford to start giving away free passes And he missed with it ball for so that means now the potential tying run will move into scoring position at second Huge innings have begun with much less. I could tell you that okay first and second no out And the guy you really need to strike out or a double play right here now in the box DJ LeMay here as he'll look to bring home that tying run from second with a base hit into the outfield First pitch of the at bat on its way Fastball just misses X ball one Well, the Yankees have been searching for that big hit pretty much all game It remains to see if they could get it, but now it sure would be a good time now the 1-0 Doesn't catch the outside corner. It's a ball Great chance right here as a hitter to be really aggressive with two guys already on pretty good shot He's gonna get a challenge pitch right here Nothing can make you question yourself on a mile more than three straight balls to a guy You know that you should go right after sometimes you just lose the strike zone You don't know why here it is the 3-0 back up the middle and in for a base hit long throw to the plate He's in there at the plane and this ball game is tied here in the seventh Up they don't de-roll in today's game It's not easy scoring in the leading so that RBI base at the time things up that comes at a really good time Yeah, I say it's not easy. They got 11 guys in a bullpen. I don't think a guy throws under 97 miles an hour it's sinking cut that is unbelievable. He's able to get that knock in that big spot number 50 Amir So to make a match-up move here and bring on a southpaw to face the left-handed hitter do up Mike Tuckman Bunt attempt here as he gets this one down To second for one He'll put this in his pocket and be content with just the one out Now that it number 29 Now to the plate Giorg Shella he looked to bounce back after striking out his last time up And he can't allow the same thing to happen in this situation. This is a big time spot in this game He's got to find a way to put the ball in play first pitch coming here. It is What and here's a slider that's nowhere close and it's 1-0 looking at his career totals for Shella It's a little over the 270 mark in the center field line drive base in and the go-ahead runs into score as they break the tie It's three to two And you'll take RB eyes any way you can get them But when they give your team the lead in the late innings man, that feels good Oh, it especially does especially when you start the score runs late in the game off of quality pitching When runs are at a premium that's what makes you feel really good about yourself At the plate Mike Ford So look at a fastball in there on the outer half it's 0-1 1 0 for 2 from him so far in this one Swing and a miss on the slider and he's quickly behind nothing in 2 Tried to get him to go after 1 below the knees, but it's 1 and 2 1 and 2 first and second now one man out Outside and low that time now it's two balls and two strikes Man this at bat has changed quickly from 0 and 2 now to 2 and 2 a good job of plate discipline by this hitter Not chasing those pitches just off the plate Ready now to strike pitch on its way There's a shin high slider laid off for a ball Wow, this is a pretty good at bat right here from down in the count 0 and 2 to work the count back to 3 and 2 and he's seen a lot of pitches to Still only one out in the inning He takes a look at strike 3 called and that's as important as they come there two big outs now Well that call looked like it was a little in the pictures favor, but it wasn't outrageous Hey, listen red calling balls and strikes is a really tough job And even the best are going to miss some from time to time Especially when they're sort of borderline like that last one not sure the hitter would want to hear that though And here's a fastball called for strike one. He's working on a 1 for 3 thus far Welcome to keep this a one-run game the pitch Gets the fastball by him here and he's in control 0 and 2 When I broke into the league not many guys were throwing that elevated fastball with that much velocity on it The game has changed Breaking ball below the zone.  Can I battle back the pitchers trying to put me away? This is what got him looking and that'll do it the inning is over So it's two runs on three hits no errors and two men left on base Eighth inning coming up. It's the Yankees three and the Reds two Adam out of Vino's been summoned from the bullpen as he'll do so to start the eighth New York Yankees number zero at all out of Vino Ready now for Cincinnati. He'll hang your Florence. He'll start things out for us here in inning number eight. Hey, you First pitch on its way Yeah, what a note and think about it in game one of the series They've already had to go deep into their bullpen This could affect them for the rest of the weekend if they don't get really good starting pitching That and the 1-0 pitch Don't expect this pitcher to throw something over the heart of the plate He's gonna have to stay on the corners right here huge spot in this game. Do not miss over the heart and get beat To all count the pitch is swung on and missed strike run Action in the bullpen as their closer starts to get loose out there to one home Swing and a shot hit down the corner, but this one will bend foul had plenty of distance though as it landed in the upper deck Here now the 2-2 Swung on and missed strike three People always talk about how important getting the leadoff men on bases and it's true So in the eighth inning of a one-run game, that's a really nice job of attacking a hitter and sending him packing The box Mike Mestakis as he will take a fastball in there at the knees for strike one A hidden two tries for him so far a cut fastball, but this bounces near the plate for a ball Bases your empty one man out lays off the slider that time two and one all even now two and two He's got that certainly timed up now I'd be shocked if the pitcher goes to the well three times in a row with off speed fouled away Lucky he got a piece right there He was definitely late on that pitch after seeing a previous off-speed pitch the 2-2 one more time Is a wave and a miss he struck him out No problems for him on the mound since he's come out of the pen to start this and he That's back to back haze and he's making it look pretty easy This has the makings of a good outing so far So now to the plate Nicholas Castellanos as he lifts it in the air to right field In there a base hit He'll get it into second The tag and they'll get him in second and with that the side is retired One two three go to rents. They trail three to two Robert Stevenson is on to pitch out of the bullpen in the bottom half of the eight number 55 Robert Stevenson Leading up for the Yankee The shortstop into the box now torres She'll take a look at a slider here that misses for ball one Stevenson a 27 year old. He was a first round pick back in 2011 Yeah, he has turned himself into a really nice ball player I wouldn't put him on a superstar level, but you know what they didn't miss with this pick either You go into high rounds and you carve out a career the way this guy has nice pick 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 Count is one and two now It's going to be back to some serious teamwork if he can't put that pitch in play right in his wheelhouse Swung on and miss really fooled him that time for the first hour I think he had his mind made up. He was swinging the bat and trying to protect before the ball even left the pitcher's hand That pitch wasn't even close. He would have needed a flagpole to hit that one Plate now Aaron judge And she'll take a look at ball one He's got a hit in three at bats to this point and a sliders in the dirt as he lays off it for a ball And now a right-handers begun to loosen up in the Cincinnati bullpen And he'll lay the fastball in here to get the count back to two and one Even at two balls and two strikes. Here's the pitch and this is lifted high in the air down the right field line And he will make the play out there and there are two away now Now batter the catcher Gary Sanchez Into the box now Gary Sanchez. He scored after reaching on a single in his last time up. Here's the first pitch to him Hey great job pounding his own strike one when you got a great hitter in the box Gotta get ahead count leverage is a must The wind up and the 01 One ball one strike this one everything we could have hoped for three to two in inning number eight Chopper right side of the infield taken in by vado a flip to the pitcher covering as that will retire the side One two three go the bombers, but they still lead at three to two Tommy Keenley comes on from the pen hoping to finish this one off here in the top of the ninth Tommy There is Titi Zucchino will stand in here hoping to duplicate what he did back in the second inning As we flash you back to take another look at his solo home run that helped get this offense rolling The stretch here's the pitch ninth inning underway now as the first pitch is taken for a cold strike. He's ready. Here's the 01 A swinging strike and now it's 0 and 2 There's this is swung on and missed and there's one gone here in the ninth That swing tells me he was really trying to get a pitch out in front and rip it down the line But that wasn't a great pitch to do it on. It's really not the best to strike approach either Freddie galvis as he'll try to hold back on the swing, but he went around for the first strike Thing in one count here it comes And that's inside off the plate with the fastball. It's one and one That's not an easy pitch to do anything with right 96 miles an hour in on the hands You almost have to be looking for that pitch to be able to do anything with that one and two now And they'll try to get him fishing there, but he won't offer in the dirt and it's back to even at two and two He got ahead with two good fastballs and then tried to drop the change up to see if he'd be out in front Did a great job laying off that pitch right there interested to see where he goes now And he strikes him out as well So make it back to back punch outs here to the first two men he faces out of the bullpen Barnhardt Reds down to their final out now and next to bad will be tucker barnhardt from the stretch Try to check it in its own one One and one to tucker barnhardt Hit hard down the left field line But this is gonna get foul Proud of over 39 000 on their feet And a high drive to right center field Looking up his gardener That one is out of here This game is tied Solo shot to right center as it's now a three all ball game And some guys just have a knack for the dramatic He comes up in a big spot and just cranks one out of here to even the score Not a bad time to hit your first home of the year, huh? The center field at the plate mark hayton as he'll take a look at an off-speed pitch here that misses for ball one He comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day One and one to the reds leadoff man And some action out in the Yankee bullpen now as a right-hander starts to loosen up Here's the one one Faces are empty here with two men out Swung on in the dirt for the third strike The throw to first is in time and the inning is over The reds are able to square things up on this solo home run Home half of the ninth coming up. We're tied now with three apiece Now is the Yankees dh john carlo stanton. He's over two in the ball game so far Outfield shaded a bit to left center the first pitch Misses off the plate Hey after those two breaking balls missed you have to be sitting on a fastball right here And up the 2-0 pitch Hey, it looks like this guy's gonna work in the upper part of the strike zone It'll be interesting to see if this lineup can adjust to the way he pitches The 2-1 is strike two swinging Missed by much and it's a full count now three and two DJ LeMay here waits on deck good battle count remains full Look like he was cheating a heater right there a little bit too far out in front Gotta find a way to keep his hands back And here's the three two from him Got him and he goes down on strikes for the third time Man, I love watching a picture that just rears back and blows smoke by a guy at the left house That's the ultimate challenge pigeon for me personally watching hitters swinging this man. That's a sight of beauty Into the box dj le mayhew as he'll go after the first pitch and bounce it into foul territory He's two for three and looking for more here and gonna miss and he's in control 0 and 2 So back-to-back sliders for strikes. Does he come back with yet another? Hey, that's back-to-back really good sliders I wouldn't be surprised if he threw another one right here Looks like he's got that slide ball in his back pocket right now Throw will finish him off as they get to put out at first and there are two away now Now batting stepping in mike talkman. He reached on a fielder's choice previously First delivery to him on the way the wind up and the one and oh And oh looked like ball two below the knees But it's ruled a strike and that evens the count at one and one And here's a pitch swung on and missed one and two now I'll tell you if i'm pitching right now. I'm not throwing anything near the strike zone until these guys prove They can lay off it. They're just being way too aggressive Hit hard on the ground as short galvis is there Throw on to vato will take care of him at first and the side is retired So the yanks go one two three still tied three to three Digging in jesse winker. He got on top of one. It was a ground out victim last time He had not an easy thing to do to try to come back and tie a game or take the lead Off from a guy like this one of the game's elite closers First pitch of the inning is taken low and away for a ball It's one and all had to sit back on the change up and he did a good job to get the bat on that one Well, there's nothing like seeing a good power pitcher that has a good fastball. What does he do? He just throws his good fastball going right by brings the express No chance to put that ball in play Joey vato He'll take one on the inside corner at the knees at strike one He comes into this appearance in the midst of a one for four day to nothing in one pitch And that change up makes him jump a swing and a miss Man, it's a pitcher. You have to love pitching o2 Multiple ways up down in and out throw the breaking ball a lot of different ways to get guys out Get him to chase it's one and two He wasn't even close to swinging right there. That was a stone cold take one two Ground ball fouled down the left side and when misses badly, it's ball two Now this guy's a grinder fouls off good pitches and doesn't seem to swing at the ones just off the corner This guy's a pitchers nightmare Here's the pitch on two and two high chopper to third And he'll reach first as they can't make the play on him Hey, not a bad pitch right there off speed pitch down in the zone He thought he would set that up pretty well. The previous pitch was a real good fastball up Yeah, I think the hitter was sitting all over that one Dan I really do. He saw that fastball up for show. I think he thought to himself here comes the off speed Hey, oh, hey, no squarries comes on with one away as he looks at a ball It's the one and old hit sharply on the ground at the left and that'll get past his outstretched glove It's a base hit and with that the go ahead runs up to second now with only one away That was actually a well executed fastball in to in off the plate credit the offensive player He smelled that comment turned him burn Jonathan Holder takes the mound to try to get out of this mess. There are two on with only one away Holder Nick Sanzel would come on now and pinch run here number 15 Nick Sanzel The plate now Mike Mestakis as the first pitch misses to remits ball one He's working on a one for three thus far out of the zone trying to get a ground ball for a double play Runners are at first and second with one away To now fastball well outside Well, no doubt in my mind. This has been the at bat of the night so far Third time we've written a k next to his name in this one. This is the pitch I think we'll see a lot of him in this game the cutter darting in on the hitters in the opposite batter's box It can be a real effective pitch when it's located. Well, and that one was right there Your attention time will be called here as with the important go ahead run at second base They'll opt to go and get a little more speed out there The box now Nicholas Castellanos A diving effort as it's off his glove But they'll still manage to get the out on the force and with that fine play the inning comes to an end Red strand a couple no change in the score. It's three to three Your attention is going to go ahead and stand the ball game and play third down now playing third base Number 15 josh van meter is into the game as well as he's the new first baseman number 17 That'll bring in Giovanni your shell off a hit in two official trips to the plate to this point in the ball game The third baseman number 29 He's ready. Here's the first offering High in the air out to center field Peyton is there and he has it for the first out The batter the first baseman much Miguel Andujar Grab a bat to pinch hit here and you wonder if they'll be swinging for the downs trying to walk off with a victory Miguel Andujar From there for strike one he's ready for his first at bat of his early season contest Skied in the air to straight away left and this is hauled in just shy of the track out there for route number two The center fielder number 11 red Yardner So the batting order turns over now and set to go Brett Gardner It was a backwards K a strikeout looking for him in his last at bat Yeah maddie and hopefully he got it out of his system, especially now. He's got a bear down He gets the two strikes in this spot has to put the ball in play One and oh the count Two out nobody on Not close.  You have to be aggressive in the zone right here There's a swing and a missile sent out to center field racing back to center fielder So it's a solo shot to dead center and with one swing of the bat this ball game is over Extra innings you're looking to piece together a rally or scratch any runs you can across the plate But he says hey the heck with that i'm gonna do it with one swing of the bat So a walk-off home run ends this thing in extras that was fun as we wrap this one up tonight It's time to show our appreciation for the man. You see there brett gardener take a snapshot of that He's our top's player of the game
