In the Batter's Box |
Shogun Heat "Brains Trust" |
x Bottom of the Eighth Innings Brett strikes out the first two batters ... then the next Cubs player hits a fly ball to right-centrefield that bounces over the fence for a ground rule double ... with the runner at second base, Brett strikes out the next batter to close down the innings NOTE - the video starts with the camera in the scorer's box behind home plate ... after the ground rule double, the filming is done from the first base side video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_89.flv |
x Plate Appearance #1 Brett is batting with a runner at third base ... he grounds out to second base and the runner comes in to score the first run of the ballgame video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_90.flv |
x Plate Appearance #2 With a runner at first base, Brett singles to rightfield to put runners at first and third The video then shows Ritchie Mounsey at the plate ... he hits a sacrifice fly to rightfield with the runner from third base coming in to score Brett had a 'huge' jump from first base and you can see him charging back after the catch is taken so there wouldn't be a double play !! NOTE - the video shakes a bit as Ritchie comes to the plate as I find a better spot for a righthanded hitter video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_91.flv |
x Plate Appearance #3 The bases are empty and Brett picks a walk video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_92.flv |
x Plate Appearance #4 Brett grounds out to second base video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_93.flv |
x Plate Appearance #5 ... Part One Brett comes to the plate with two down and a runner at first base The runner gets picked off ... and it's side away !! video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_94.flv Plate Appearance #5 ... Part Two Brett now leads off the top of the ninth innings ... he hits a ground ball back up the middle and the Cubs second-baseman makes a diving stop ... his throw to first base is not in time or is it a wild throw ?? ... not sure how this was scored ... hit or error ?? video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_95.flv |
x Running from First to Second Base Brett is on first base and is being held by the Cubs Matt Bolton A wild pitch allows Brett to reach second base easily NOTE - I was filming this in case he took off and stole to second video address = http://www.ronebergcairns.com/2009onwards/0video2009_96.flv |
