Retain the two-run lead gave up two and then the Hawks earned two that was after the uh starting pitcher Luke hemrich the NC State commit left the game with 10 strikeouts on his card Bob you were uh remote on that day watching and tuning in quick assessment
What you saw Tuesday night I thought Luke was outstanding I thought fantastic um you know I I I think we got to be more aggressive at bat throughout the game from the first from the jump make the other team feel the ball a little bit make them throw it around a little and
If they make a good baseball play they make a good baseball it is what it is but just come out and get them the next time we uh Brian we were talking before the game you know what I’d like to see our first step if Buster gets still bun
Move that Runner over and he may get out but you’ve got two you got three four and five up with one out and a run own MH that’s that’s the only thing I’d like to see I’d like to see not take first pitch fast balls not the same same
Waiting for the big hit that’s the issue playing second base Drake delado quick quick look at the starting defense here on the mound with Bloom behind the plate vonet and Steiner Vier Ramirez through the infield across the Outfield patience chacho Gasper and the first pitch now gets the called strike
Hey Todd tight can you tight zoom in a little just a little more all right Fly ball out the left field to start off the game two pitches one out now up to bat number five Andrew walr playing third third baseman for the Hawks Andrew Waldren unfortunately we ran out of
Ports on the soundboard for tonight to include Jake Jenna who sat in on behalf of line drive up the middle for a base hit on the second batter in the game so we’ll try to swap in Jake with one of us throughout the game to get
Some stats Jake you’re off to the side but uh feel free to hand so as as we all know Holly Springs were pretty familiar with a lot of their players Andrew Waldron’s the best hitter in the conference Line drive out into left in front of patience and he he just consist you have to pitch him pitch you have to pitch reverse don’t thr the fast ball down the middle in the first pitch lineup Ryan Adams same thing with Ryan Adams actually I do a little chin music with
Ryan Adams just cuz I know him say that I’m allowed to say that so yes we both Adams with a opposite field single Tuesday night put himself on base a little bit of wind here Bob I I think the couple of the Patriot moms are day drinking
Tomorrow with the uh the Holly Springs moms at Ry Adams house you know anything about that Brian vonette I don’t okay first pitch to Adams misses high and away from s assult the left-handed Junior Kathy Flanigan and Melissa Steiner Susan vondette fouled off out of play for
Adams one ball one strike one out two on no no you’re good just going to get brain cancer next pitch to Adams misses outside two and one one out two on if you’re just joining us live from behind the back stop on YouTube please chime in Mr
Mansfield thank you sir you are correct Bob need needs a sweater we don’t have a um my sweater is sitting over there talking we do not have swung in a Miss for Adams 22 we don’t have a a media cam a booth cam but we do have a little little
Display for uh monitor display for Bob and Brian to follow along in the live broadcast we are moving on up Adams with the ground ball to Ramirez flips berer turns it around and a double play to end the inning for beautiful beautiful that’s what I like to see beautiful right
There the Patriots and Owen Cil able to work their way out of trouble before any runs scored so two left on base two hits no runs as we move from the top to the bottom of the first inning here at Patriot Park in Apex North Carolina upgrade to Google Fiber and pay

Here both of them but Andrew w can’t put the ball there he will Drive all right now we’re back some audio technical difficulties as we tried to cut to a commercial break Patriots with the Patriots baseball program he’s always doing something hey we have a guest today a good one by the way excellent by the way we’ll be getting to that in an inning or two
Right now though leading off for the Patriots the catcher Buster Bloom first pitch to bloom looked good from back here but clearly I don’t have uh umpire Vision the acuity Fly ball down the right side that’ll be out of play Bloom with two strikes Bob we’re gonna switch sides the
Next time because you’re highly distracted assisting the PA Bloom holds off on the next pitch okay sorry you talk about me being the hardest working person on the broadcast you’re doing like five jobs no no I’m just hanging out hanging out with my friends talking some smack Full Count to
Buster Bloom the lead off batter swinging a Miss rhs puts a K in his on his card so one thing about Holly Springs is they have multiple quality left hand pitching plus they have two studs right-handed pitching M first baseman kovic and Cole Bowie who’s hurt how does
That happen I don’t know I’ve never seen a team with three quality left-handed pitchers like they have first pitch to the second baseman Brady berer from RADS a called strike and I think he’s a sophomore if I remember correctly I think he he and z are sophomores uh burnhard
Senior Rose bounces it off the K plate in front of Williams Bowie’s a senior we’re gonna have to put a partition [Applause] up Bob yes sir your add is kicking in tonight sir real quick here we’re in the bottom of the first I think you’ve been off mic about half the time sorry breaking ball berer earns the walk Good Start I don’t know com I was just saying to
Brian I’d let him hit I guess I would not do I would not do that here but I would try to get him there somehow yep and if he makes it then you still have three four five with a runner in scoring [Applause] position on the other hand
Jean Stein Steiner is checking in from North Dakota as she normally [Applause] does Jean if there’s any kind of dance you could do this is Bob by the way if there’s any kind of dance you could do your grandson’s up right now we could use a hit right
Here go dance in the snowbank or do something oh boy he was out there he was pretty darn close we don’t obviously have a very good angle at it but that was close that’s not what we need to do that would defeat the purpose of my Comments Ground ball to Second scooped up and over to kovic from delera puts a second out on the board as berer makes his way down to Second by the way your son came walking up he was the first one here my son was behind him but he’s walking up
And I just looked at him and he goes I know and we all know what that means right do not take that first pitch fastball exactly JJ vonet now steps in what’s it count one ball I’m in it now bill I was just making sure everything’s perfect brown ball from vonet will
Single and score by Tyler who’s on his horse into home Williams receives it hey let me give credit there let me coach s nice aggressive play at third base right there yep left fielders playing back by the fence on a ground ball nice play two out single nice play
Zeza unable to get the ball back to Williams at home before berer scores berer was moving on the hit good hit by JJ [Applause] foul ball off the umpire’s mask if you’ve ever had that happen with the mask on your ears will be ringing for about the next three Days [Applause] I think Owen wanted that pitch I think he just dropped the s bomb on that he just turned and face this way was just like yep should have had it two strikes with two outs Fly ball into right and that’s going to put a little
Damper on it I thought Ryan Adams was playing right so the Patriots that’s not Ryan Adams pick up a run in the bottom of the first inning Monday April 29th the apex’s Friendship Athletic Club invites golfers of all abilities to partake in their third annual afpac booster club golf

Rhods sasol’s first pitch to roads a breaking ball misses a little bit below the strike zone down I should I should have mentioned this the kid on first base uh Jake kovic is a junior committed to UNC for baseball good pitcher Cil comes back with the strike making it a one-1 count one
Out and a runner on first pick them off kovic checking in at what did we say the other night six and change 64 s with uhoh the curveball that gets launched into right that’s going to fall in front of Micah Gasper and that’ll be stretched into an extra base

Boy so I should keep beating him he’s your son maybe that’s why he’s always nice to me no that’s because you’ll yell at him well that’s for one reason I can do that sasol’s fast ball to start off the at bat for McNerney a little high in
Outside two outs and a runner on third Patriots with a one-run lead McNerney FS one off out of play so little bit of a live read here in the midst of the game you notice we have some live commercials real commercials for this game we’re going to have the
Same going forward through the rest of the season the breaking ball grounder to Ramirez and that’ll be an E6 that lets a run score to tie up the game can’t give him that nope up the B number 12 two outs I think he he’s trying too
Hard he needs to attack the ball there he’s too good of an athlete for that truthfully who’s this at bat 12 hod Williams yeah okay Runner goes van or I’m sorry Bloom throws a little bit offline and late we need to start throwing over to first base number one
You have a lefty but number two they’re leaving on the first pitch every time even if you say I don’t care keep thinking that classic through the fence view in today’s broadcast being brought to you by Todd our camera operator for the day kind of that classic News television

First JJ’s up yep oh that might fall so a two-run Homer from Buster Bloom as we go into the half we’re trying to get a press cam setup yeah yeah sket know you’re Not coming back to live action top of the fourth inning we have a guest in the booth with us this afternoon would you like me to introduce him please do it Bob uh pitching ex professional pitching coach or pitcher yeah Bobby wall yep who’s now reverted to being a pitching coach here he
Uh um he’s from Northern Virginia he actually just like me he actually played against my older son so tell us a little bit about you what you’re doing these days Yeah man so uh like you said was fortunate enough to be able to pitch in the big leagues uh with a couple
Different teams now um you know working over it good here I’m trying to get you in the camera man good uh working over at Octane baseball um you know alongside B Young PT which has been fantastic um so yeah just coming out here to watch some
Of the guys and uh never a bad day at the Ballpark so you have kids on both teams right yes yes so including my son yep including Cole so um yeah it was actually pretty cool right there so max shrock our hitting guy uh former big
Leager as well just rolled up to the park he actually he work with uh Buster oh yeah and then right when he walks in Homer so it’s I guess Max has to come to every game now yeah he does and it was clear was a
Home r d so L we heard it all the way out I know I know it was awesome to see man so yeah it’s good to see what what’s uh your impression of this game so far what are you what are you thinking really solid baseball game um you know I
Think the games that I’ve been out to so far you can tell there’s a ton of talent here um in the area really solid you know you never know what you’re going to get at a high school baseball game but solid defense you know good playing like
Just overall solid play so um my impression so far though I don’t know that was a pretty big momentum swing over there by Bloom so we’ll see what happens you know these these two teams they uh Fly ball center field chacho coming on with Ramirez berer takes it
Good job there good communication out there in the field but these two teams play the kids have played together during the summer on both teams sure together yeah they know each other like it’s they spend all summers together and then they come out here and they compete
It’s actually a lot of fun I’m sure to watch and there you know those kids uh they want bragging rights right so yeah they’re um they’re always especially nowadays with Instagram and Twitter they’re uh they’re constantly triping at each other especially being in the building with a lot of these guys like
It’s nonstop just trash talk and the competitor to me loves it Fly ball in the center and Ramirez over the shoulder doesn’t catch it heck of an effort though yeah good effort but you know you’re right I I know from my son working with you um there’s couple of
Apex kids sure couple of I think there’s some Holly Springs kids and they all got stories about something including I have one for you okay let’s hear it and it doesn’t have to do with you but it was it was under your guidance one day okay
And I’m not going to name the kid’s name from Apex who’s got a shoulder injury or arm injury okay okay but cuz he’s a great kid yes he went to my son and said your dad told me I bulked he this I did hear this story every time I come and I
Said you go back and you tell him you cannot pull the glove ball out of your glove on the rubber yeah I think I was there for that actually Bob so like I remember that whole conversation happening and it was very organic where uh the one said player went up to co and
Said does your dad do the booth for Apex friendship and then it just kind of snowballed from there so the look on Cole’s face probably went no what is he going to say I can’t imagine no but I I thought it was a funny story so when you’re talking about all the
Kids that you work with sure um you know they come from everywhere to work with you obviously you’re pretty popular doing it but um thank you tell us a little bit about your career yeah so was like I said kind of fortunate I was fortunate enough kind of expedited I
Guess my process of getting out of the game so um you know and it’s it’s a hard game man you see a lot of guys without jobs so like I said very fortunate to be able to play as long as I did and um really enjoying what I’m doing now I
Think for me it kind of it it brings me that drive again to try to get kids better um at the game of baseball ground ball on the left side makes its way to Brendan patience and left will make for a first and second with two outs so what made you come down
Here from Northern Virginia yeah so during the off season for me my wife and I are both from Northern Virginia um my family actually moved to Charleston um so during the offseason for me it was a perfect halfway point I actually came down here for the USA baseball stuff
While I was in college tournaments while I was in high school so I always loved this area and it was always an area for me that I kind of had pinpointed that that might be somewhere to live one day Waldren steps in two for two takes a
First pitch from Cil that just misses I don’t I’m going to interrupt you for a second sure do you work with him at Andrew Walder I don’t think a really good hitter yeah no I don’t think so and that’s that’s Max’s expertise I don’t know what I’m doing with a bat in my
Hand but um lucky enough that we we have Max to be able to do so s over to vonet finishes off the inning and you know we were we were talking earlier about um Sira is he one of your not that I know of no he might
Have worked with Chris before I think he’s coming coming to you guys next year but one of the things I was going to say about him so he was a freshman last year and one of the things that I know the three of us know about nothing phased
Him MH you can tell today too I mean you’d been able to answer the bell for you know uh you give up two and was at the Third fourth inning and then you know come back with the zero that’s huge um that shows the character right there
He he’s got the ball up a little bit on some of some of his breaking balls have been up but he’s always battling sure I I love that about the kid he’s always always battling yeah and that’s what you want to see you want kids that can found
The strike zone um get after it and and just compete out here man um you know that’s really all you can ask for and the stuff I feel like uh is is just a A plus I guess and not a lot of free passes no walks
That drives me nuts I’m not going to say anything cuz I don’t want to jinx the pace of this ball game right now but that’s what you want to see you know what I mean we’re in the zone whatever happens is going to be dictated by The
Hitter well the pace could pick up because it was supposed to be a lot warmer it’s you know I stepped off a plane put this on today I’ll be nice and nice and cool have a Hawaiian shirt on we just getting back from Dallas you said so I’m sure it’s a little warmer
Back uh down there in Texas raining yeah raining Raining Raining coming up to bat for the Patriots here in the bottom of the fourth inning will be ciril filed by Payne the DH and Ramirez the other thing about this kid last year hitting wise MH wasn’t when we
Were in the playoffs it didn’t matter who was pitching he it nothing bothered him one of the things Brian vonet and I talked about was he just wasn’t phased by anything yeah and you can a lot of the times too you know a lot of lot of
Kids will see you know plus vo at times and you can tell it changes their approach but if you can find a way to to not let that affect you it’s y you’re doing pretty well well the other the other common thing between these two teams they have a lot of high level
Travel baseball kids that play have played right so they’ve played in huge games down in Florida in other places this is not really the I don’t want to say level because I don’t mean it that way but this is not as intimidating let’s put it that way sure as
All of all of these kids on both teams have faced in events like that yeah you know perfect game nowadays I feel like that’s kind of you know the way of the world right and you go down there and you go to these big tournaments you’re going to see guys throwing in high
School now 95 plus and I I feel like that’s going to that’s going to change a lot when it comes to high school baseball man um just your approach and how you feel about anybody up there on the mound well when I get to if I’m thinking that and I’ve faced that all
Summer this is going to be a field day for me you know but think about it yeah I mean there’s nobody throwing that maybe maybe kovic on first get he’s getting close UNC commit right yeah and I think he’s only a junior oh wow good for him
Yeah yeah so yeah he’s got a good AR I think actually saw him throw when they played um will of spring a couple weeks back uh he looked great um really good stuff for sure he he came in in relief I think the other night okay against us um
The game zza started right yes MH y sure zza is one of your kids right yeah that’s what I thought he’s he’s a he’s a good one man huge fan Anthony zza he’s he’s another one that was a wasn’t phased by the whole oh yeah um he’s a competitor man
Is he AB oh yeah absolutely most these kids are that’s that’s a beautiful thing you know you want those kids to just go out there that seems to be a common thing with you with your kids I you know I I think that’s like I told you that’s the most important part
To me is getting out there getting the ball throwing strikes and getting after guys and trying to get them out we had a um I’ll get in trouble for saying this but we had an an instance in the inner Squad scrimmage okay this year um private information this is it’s
A good one though it’s actually kind of funny so my son stops at the gas station on the way and there’s two sophomores and a junior giving him grief in the parking lot getting gas he comes into pitch and the kid giving him the most grief is up
First did you hear about this the first pitch drills him right in the back struck out the next two the one of the other kids was next struck him out and I got to I got to thinking like what you just said like yeah I wonder where all
That comes from yeah there may be a little bit of a a subconscious um something or other there but no I don’t I don’t think Cole would ever Patriots go one two three here in the bottom of the fourth inning leading by by one all right I’m going to let you
Go cool thanks Bob appreciate it Bobby thanks for coming out so we’re going to see you at USA baseball I didn’t really get to introduce you to Bill we’ met talked yes oh yeah good so we we’ll look forward to that yes I can’t wait your continued success and uh appreciate it

Down the street thanks again Bobby wall of be young and 8 cylinder pitching and physical therapy over at Raleigh and Apex large part of the baseball Community here in the southern Southwest Wake County as well as just in North Carolina they are catering to baseball players from all over the East Coast I
Would imagine even a few from the central portion of the country and as well out outside uh of that area even probably to the West Coast occasionally seems that we lost a camera interestingly enough Brian I’m going to leave it to you to run the helm while I try to get
That figured out okay all right we got our center field camera back on The View we try to provide as much as possible and uh it was online then it went offline now we’re back online and after our guest in the Booth here Brian we got
To get our act together get caught up on the runs hits errors playby play co buy at the plate he’s one for two ground ball on the infield scooped up and across and a great athletic baseball play between Jen Steiner at third over to JJ vonet with the stretch at
First that’s a instant replay opportunity if I ever saw one McNerney with a big shot in his last step bat takes a first pitch called strike my hands are so cold the touch screen to update the score doesn’t even register you know what we need how about
Shots of vodka that’ll get you warm no not so sure about that on school grounds and County yeah heck you can’t walk in with a bottle anymore we should have uh let Mr Jenna know since he’s the new guy he could have you know brought his own
Little cooler and said it’s all water put him in water bottles and he’s nodding his head down there I see him just a touch of vignetting off those white uniforms from the center field camera Brian I’m sure you know exactly what that is two outs now as MC goes
Down sirol is starting to settle in yeah he’s starting to really settle in here a little bit isn’t that interesting he would kind of of think considering the um you know beginning early Innings your arms fresh you think you would find a Groove quick and then kind of fall apart
But well I think in his case Bill his mix of pitches is better as I oh Steiner at that play by Steiner across vondette another 53 look at Steiner A home run a bunch of cross Diamond plays on the infield we got a ball game the Patriots and the Hawks game two right here at Patriot Park in Apex North Carolina I started the company not knowing I was ever going to start a company uh so we were actually looking to build a house we decided to build our own fence priced out the materials and did the job myself if you’re looking for great customer service at a great price

Patience left field for this afternoon’s game kovic now in relief on the mound Fly ball just got under a little bit good swing I like that he’s up there swinging ja Pike first pitch swing routine Fly ball in center field I am thoroughly starting to shiver come on Buttercup
D hey do we know how many pitches um Owen sear Soul’s at I’ll let you check with our statistician one second 70 what inning are we in you bring them back I haven’t seen anybody throwing yet yeah jent was in there warming up in the bullpen last inning so i’ expect maybe
See him after Owen just threw 70 okay one thing with if if that change is made one thing we got to do is not throw fast balls down the middle isn’t that just common sense yeah well common sense ain’t so common Bill deflected the breeze standing up there yeah B spots get
Buster stepping in to the Box jjj’s gonna be pissed on he’s been trying on all right Buster let’s go look got a little tip that one of your hitting coaches is here hit it again oh beat it out that’s a base hit hey you might want to go wash your hands
What do we go now this is that time this is exactly that time to you know what foot on the gas pedal the whole time you know what make him feeli it oh shallow enough now second baseman delara comes over catches a shallow Fly ball I know he’s at 70 pitches I bring
Him back looks like he’s making his way out there so good I’d bring him back now on the other hand I would have people ready to go you know Yeah Jake Jenna doing the stats and filling in for play byplay while I had to step away from the mic thank you sir you’re talking about me doing about eight different jobs here today you’re up and down on this thing trying to get another camera online but
It just doesn’t want to behave for some reason maybe next time Owen Cil back on the mound Towing the slab for the Patriots in game two against the Hawks sirol having gone five innings given up eight hits two runs and has two strikeouts he’s thrown 70 pitches 47
Strikes and face 23 batters this afternoon so far if this wind wasn’t blowing and I wasn’t shivering I would be telling you who’s coming up next for the Hawks I’m guessing that’s kavic based on his height it is you know I saw him play basketall bball against friendship he looked tall
But he looks really tall now so imagine him on the mound he he’s a big kid for sure good pitch swinging a Miss on the first P change up good pitch there come back with it again he did actually that was better look and kovic with the long arms got out and
Made got a good hit base hit into right field for kovic as a leadoff batter in the top of the sixth inning I think they have a pinch Runner Gavin [Applause] Williams almost a repeat so Runners first and second Gavin Williams into pinch run for kovic so Runners on first second nobody out
So for the first time this afternoon we see Coach Guy Civello coming in after Cil gave up two back-to-back singles into right field we actually Bob I think have a uh nearly standing room only you kind of joked at the beginning of the broadcast game but you know we uh
Absolutely the bleach full yeah look at the fence line yeah there’s more people out here than we’ve ever seen probably there’s a good five 6,000 people and what’s impressive is down the right field or left field line rather out past the Dugout is a considerable number of patrons watching the
Game as you mentioned the stands here a little hard to see through the chain link but everybody’s got out their lawn chair catch up pretty good turnout on both sides here for the cross cross town rivalry and the 40 degree heat yeah my goodness the bun laid down perfectly
Over to First and berer with the [Applause] cover listen I’m going to be a homer for second okay what I liked about that play everybody was in the right spot everybody body was in the right spot nothing you can do about that but I like that that’s the type of things Brian you
And I have talked about it’s what we’ve been talking about for the last couple of years zza up to bat left-handed batter actually this is a great sirou here needs to get this man himself good pitch I don’t know what do you thinking you got the corners in no Force play at home
Looks like the middle is still playing back well you’re you’re well in this situation it’s one and one the count you don’t want to give him really a good pitch to hit because if he gets on it’s not a big deal y to tell you in a close game like this
It it’s not going to be good pitch that was a good pitch right there of a pitch good location actually a nice ground ball to JJ works well two who’s up next for them this is zza top of the order top of the order yeah yeah that
Makes it that does make it a little tough good pitch throw that again if you can get a strike here throw that pitch again so Soul bringing the count back to full oh he tried NOP looks like we’re going to get a pitching change here yep we’re going to get a pitching
Change actually you got the top of the order coming up he’s probably what 80 some pitches zir Soul finishes the day at 80 pitches yeah so he’s at 80 pitches they got the top of their order up we got a lot of baseball to play well they they’ve they’ve been through the lineup
Now what three four times yeah Holly Springs has so it’s a good time to make a change y agree with Coach Civ 100% you get through uh into third Innings against a team that hits the baseball like this having only given up two runs that’s a that’s a pretty good day it’s a
Win yep yep and they get they scored those two runs all in one inning so there’s a lot of zeros up on that board J so third baseman Jen Steiner he’s going to come to the bump as the first relever in the top of the sixth inning with Bases Loaded one
Out at the top of the lineup for the Hawks so a little scouting on jent jent throws the ball very hard can be flat at times but he throws it very hard when he has his curveball mixed in there he’s dangerous but I’ll tell you what he’s
The best third baseman in the conference he is really good I mean he’s made two good plays today but um he is a fast ball pitch the problem is is Holly Springs top of their lineup is fast ball hitters mhm Civ should have made that change oh yeah the change oh yeah no
Question about that that that that is the right change to make even though I was kind of saying but I I get it top of their order he’s at 80 pitches they’ve seen him three four times that’s the he’s he’s 100% right that’s what he gets paid the big
Bucks for oh a Brisk 50 degrees at best I’m going to say with about a 10 to 15 mph win the first pitch fed off out of play hey isn’t that wind screen out there supposed to be stopping the wind from get to us yes thing ain’t working
Delada at the plate with Bases Loaded one out Patriots looking for come on J on the ground on the infield Steiner deals breaking ball all right that’ll miss a little but you know what though if he throws that and it doesn’t work at least they they’re thinking they he’s got them thinking
About it instead of sitting on that fast ball all the time so that I’m all right with that pitch but a double playground ball here would be oh spectacular preferably it warm me up probably got more camera angles than any one person can make sense of at any
Given time again we have our kind of classic from through the chain link we got our center field a Fly ball on the Run between the two Outfield ERS on the right side and the throw into home cut off by vonet on the middle infield so a run will [Applause]
Score got to talk out there in the Outfield too a little more communication on that yeah zza holds at first delado flies out to right and gets an RBI Waldren now steps in with no roads at third so the last time up they pitched him very well outside part of the plate
Weak ground ball back to the pitcher just don’t put anything in the Wheelhouse for my gas Bloom signaling to his zenfield first and third a first and third play with two outs ah can’t give him that how does that happen I don’t know he he one square
The fast ball gets the good pitch called strike he can throw that if he keeps it under his hands like that pitch that was a good pitch yeah hard ground ball just under the glove of Steiner all the way through the middle and that’s going to
Be two runs Steiner might have been able to turn around and stop that last run from scoring so a two RBI single straight up the middle and don’t throw it down the middle to him either he could be the first one to hit it off the scoreboard Hawks now take a two-run lead
Zza I’m sorry Waldren rather with a two RBI double Cole buy now at the plate fast ball Up and Away fouled off I didn’t see it what’s the matter guys you’re Whispering no I was asking him fly ball on the infield Conor Payne com third calls off Buster Bloom nice play
By Conor Payne there really nice play took over called it Buster called it first but that was clearly a third baseman’s ball absolutely he had the better angle coming up for the Patriots Steiner vonet and sirol Google Fiber customer services straightforward billing absolutely no random fees no hidden fees fast reliable

Much he he knew that was coming by the way by the way he knew that pitch was coming yeah the fast yes yeah yes so with one out vonets at first stepping into the box now is sirol who’s 0 for two he is due on the day
