Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Back here in Washington, d C. For the club House
Show presented by Common Spirit Health Hospitals, clinics and caregivers
with a focus on human kindness. The Rockies, after a
big win yesterday in Atlanta, got off to a very

(00:20):
quick start here this evening. In the first inning, with
one out, Tyler Freeman would get a base hit. The
next man to the plate, Hunter Goodman. Two to two
now and Goodman sends it to deep left field, going back,
call to the warning track, to the wall. It's in
the Rockies bullpen. No fastball's fine. How about if I

(00:45):
touch them all off a curveball, Hunter Goodman two? Nothing
are Rockies.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
And to feel especially good for Hunter Goodman after yesterday
when he went old for five with four strikeouts in
his first at bat, a long ball and a two
run homer at that.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
So the Rockies had the early lead. Carson Palmquist, returning
from Albuquerque to fill the spot of the injured Kyle Frielan,
got off to a good start tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Ponquiz has him at zo and two here comes the
O two pitch Twing had a miss. He got him
out in front with that curveball. Good work in the
second inning, Carson Palmquist. We had to the third. Rockies
up to nothing here in DC.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
The Nationals would finally get to Palmquist in the fourth inning,
though a lot of it was just a very long,
struggling inning for Carson. He threw thirty nine pitches in
that inning. He walked three guys, gave up a couple
of stolen bases. A sacrifice fly got Washington on the board,

(01:52):
but the Rockies had an answer in the fifth. It's
kind of gone under the radar a little bit, but
if was a wonderful offseason. Really. Right at the end
of spring training pick up for the Rockies when they
acquired Mickey Moniac he and Michael Tolia back from the

(02:13):
Miners for his first game tonight, they got the Rockies
a three to one advantage. There's a drive towards right
going back as Lyle and they'll have to play it
off the wall, but not very well. Long run. Moniac
who can fly, is going to be into third standing
with a triple. Mickey Moniac gets his fifth three base

(02:38):
hit to start the Rockies fifth. Michael Tolia line out
to center his first time up and lines it into
center field for a base hit. RBI's single Michael Tolia
and the Rockies get that run back. It's three to
one Colorado. It good for Michael Tolia.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Hit the ball hard his last time up, lined out
to center field, look fastball like you should after a
triple like he had in front of him, and wax
that ball into center field and gets that run in.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Bud. Washington would answer back in the bottom of the
fifth inning. Daylon Lyle would hit a leadoff homer against
Carson Palmquist, and after getting an out, a base hit
and then an opposite field two run homer by James Wood,
his eighteenth of the year, put Washington ahead four to three.

(03:32):
The Rockies played very good defense throughout this one. It well,
there are all kinds of people we could highlight. How
about this play in the sixth inning from Jordan Beck.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
He with the one zero pitch and that one's hit
to left field, that's going to be grabbed by Jordan
Beck on a slide He held on wan to catch
in left center field, shallow by Jordan Beck for the
first out.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Then, in the eighth inning, with James Wood on base
following a walk by Victor Vodnik, Victor helped himself out
when Wood broke too soon for second, Dankeplislaw dot Com
step off, thrown a second and got him. James Wood broke,

(04:23):
Vodnik stepped off the rubber kind of threw across his
body at an awkward angle, but threw a strike, and
they put the tag down on Wood, and that turned
out to be important. Seemed to give the Rockies some momentum.
It would give Colorado a chance to try and rally.

(04:43):
But you're talking about Kyle Finnegan being so good this year.
He has eighteen saves, among the leaders in baseball and
closing out games this year. He had not allowed a
home run at all here in twenty twenty five until tonight.

(05:05):
Seen a ball driven well by Goodman to the warning track,
to the wall and is gone Hunter. Goodman touch him
all time, gets the first home run off Finnegan this season.
A two homer night for Goodman, and the game is

(05:28):
tied at four Hunter with homer's numbers twelve and thirteen.
Tonight now a team leading forty three RBIs. Finnegan would
retire Ryan McMahon on a deep fly ball to left,
but he would give up a base hit to Tyro

(05:49):
Estrada Tyro was lifted for a pinch runner Sam Hilliard
after Brenton Doyle popped up Sam stole second base. It's
set up, Mickey Moniac, are done right. Home Improvements Player
of the Game. One two to Moniac is driven to right,

(06:10):
going back is lyle at the fence, sleep sits into
the bullpen. Touch them all time. Mickey Moniac his eighth
homer of the year, the third Rockies homer of the night.
Kyle Finnegan had not allowed a homer all season. He

(06:36):
