10:32 pm
miss away. 2-1 count on suzuki. orioles in the game left just two on base. one in scoring position. only one runner at 2nd. that was jones. 3-1. oakland team has won all five games last year against the orioles. that one's going to be a base hit. so suzuki joins the hit parade with a lead off single here in the 5th. this coming friday one of the most popular oriole park promotions returns. the first 25,000 fans 21 and over will receive an orioles floppy hat presented by miller light. it's the new oriole bird on one side and the new o's cap logo
10:33 pm
on the other. orioles.com for tickets. last going to be against oakland friday. and swung on a miss to the runner at 1 st. boards cunningham had a double to start off the fourth to score. part of that four run opening. gosh six game hit streak now for aaron cunningham. and a breaking ball taken outside. able to block it and hold the runner. cunningham called up from the minors. he's been up a couple of times already filling in as the a's have had a number of people go on the d.l. twice he's made his way up. he's played right for the second time.
10:34 pm
back into the seats. boards now hernandez started on tuesday in seattle he was hooked up against eric and two runs in the first, one in the 3rd and charged with five runs on ten hits. gosh bounced it way out in front of the plate. and 2-2 count. >> this is his first relief appearance. you can see how he smothered the breaking ball. does a good job playing it off his chest again. >> runner at 1 st with nobody out. and the 2-2 to cunningham. and a strike taken. so hernandez will be credited with the orioles first strikeout. one down here in the 5th inning. >> got the fastball down in the bottom of the zone.
10:35 pm
a big fastball. has the ability to wrack up the strikeout 94 miles an hour right at the bottom of the strike zone. he pulled the trigger. gosh runner at 1 st and hannahan up. he's flied out, grounded out. left-handed hitter. and with the score being 9-0 the orioles are not going to hold the runner at 1st base and suzuki is not running. even though we're only in the 5th inning. the unwritten rules of the game have come into play early. off speed is in there for a strike. >> generally in the american league you get into the 59 inning and this kind of league you pretty much play respect the other team and don't run up the score. >> here's the 0-2 pitch.
10:36 pm
did he go? check at 3rd. no. garyly darling. hannahan looking to pick up a hit and get involved here. everybody else in the line up has either had a hit or scored a run. hannahan will take the offspeed delivery. where's he going? he thought it was strike three. >> he walks all the way around the home plate umpire. he said that looks like a good breaking ball and -- >> let me clean my cleats here. i think i better swing on this one. here's the 2-2 delivery and he does. tough to play. >> you get into a ballpark for
10:37 pm
the first time and over into the left center power ally. not sure how much room you have. got a piece but wasn't comfortable going into that corner for the first time. game on defensively. got the bullpen, home plate area, security guard, chairs all kinds of things to deal with and the long run. >> the at bat stays alive for hannahan. and the 2-2 delivery to him is inside. and the count is now full. 3-2. one down. runner on at 1st base is suzuki. just kind of meandering around down there. and the 3-2. got him. and he will not turn around and
10:38 pm
argue. two strikeouts for hernandez. >> they both come on a good fastball down in the zone. see the reaction of the hitter. might have thought it was inside but he says that's four strikes. go on and get out of here. >> davis he'll take an outside for a ball. davis has doubled, scored, walked and scored. he's filling that nine hole with pretty good offensive production. in the series he's now had a couple hits, five at bats. one rbi. 1-1 count. i think these speeders of the game like to wear their socks this way or their pants so you can see their socks. it makes them look faster.
10:39 pm
[ laughter ] >> it does. old fashioned. >> the old fashioned look when you're running it really makes you look like you're really flying as opposed to having the pant leg down mind the heel of your shoe which is the favorite way to wear your pants. not many who have their pants hiked up like that. probably because there as you see most players wear them. some now have a hook. elastic in the back that goes around the back of the shoe. here's a 1-2 delivery. and that's to short. force at 2nd. and he gets it over to roberts. no runs, no hits, no errors and no one left on base. 9-0a's. and get one free after mail-in-rebate. are you insured? do you know when your beer is perfectly cold? or do you risk drinking a warm one? if you have the new coors light cold-activated can, you're covered. because now every can turns blue when your beer... is as cold as the rockies. it's cold insurance, only from coors light. cold beer: that's our policy.
10:40 pm

10:42 pm
1-1 delivery. i wonder if there will be a change in the schedule and batting practice. >> buck: something the orioles haven't done is they kind of common practice but they're struggling right now. i think they'll change that. >> gary: don't want to put pressure on the players if you're a manager but at the same time it's like look it's not getting done. >> buck: that's what dave tried tonight with the lineup. tried to spark some offense. this is just the nature of the baseball game. peaks and valleys and start making adjustments. >> gary: kennedy will catch that. he was playing the other way. one away here in the 6th. copyrighted telecast presented by authority the orioles may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form. the descriptions of this game are not seminated without the express written consent of the orioles.
10:43 pm
oakland, alameda county coliseum. as it was in the beginning and it now. >> buck: they went through a few different name changes but back to oakland alameda county coliseum. first brought the team out here in 1968. >> gary: colorful was charlie. coalreadyful were the a's. >> buck: the uniforms and white shoes. first to have colored uniforms and white shoes. paid his players to grow mustaches and fingers took that all the way to the hall of fame. >> gary: most players fined for having them, he paid players to grow them. he had one of the best. 2-1 delivery and he will foul that one away. and a 2-2 count.
10:44 pm
great promoters of the game in every sense. here's the 2-2 delivery on the way. and that one to left field. that's going to stay up. holliday there to get it. two down. two away in the 6th. on saturday june 13, the first 10,000 fans 15 and over will receive an orioles crab mallet set appropriated by old bay. this set has a couple summer favorites. steamed crabs and orioles baseball. tickets low as $9. call for tickets. pitch is taken for a strike markakis. we had a set of those mallets. did you see them today? >> buck: no. >> gary: yes. in the truck. and they work. i tried them out on the table.
10:45 pm
i walked into the truck. very solid. >> buck: crabs on you. >> gary: 1-1 delivery. 2-1. single and grounded out. take that is one to left field. going back on the warning track and that ball will hit half way up the wall. holliday will make the throw in to 2nd base. it will be a stand up double. so markakis hitting in the two spot for the first time has a 2- 3 ball game. >> buck: this is what i talk about. you have to do something just to about get something going. nick stayed on that change up. holliday tried to play it back off the wall. he packed off on to the grass and markakis has the double 2-3
10:46 pm
night for markakis. that's his 17th double of the season. >> gary: jones will get the rbi opportunity here. batting in the three spot. a .447 batting average with runners in scoring position this season. hasn't been a lot of them lately. adam picked up a double his last time up. he's 1-2 in the ball game. both jones and markakis continue in the top ten in runner in scoring position averages. jones is number two. second only to jason bart let of tampa bay. nick markakis is seventh. 1-1 delivery to him. again, they come inside on him. drop down a little. 1-2. >> buck: you get these little sections of games kind of a snapshot of the team and we've talked about the offense and how they've struggled. most part of the season top of
10:47 pm
the order especially been productive. juggling the line up a bit tonight trying to spark the offense. haven't been able to come up with just one win on this road trip so far dworn 1-2 delivery. swung on and missed. cahill has five strikeouts in the ball game. two of them against jones. 9-0 a's lead. @p @>pk@c@" ep6l.xopnpq.cp+pgú
10:48 pm

10:49 pm
much longer. he's pitched 20 straight scoreless innings. now 4-2 with a 2.16 e.r.a. leads the carolina league. so wonder if that phone call double a coming any time soon. >> gary: it will be interesting. obviously the movement will be made. that's one pitcher. the orioles will not have may jog league level. he'll be in the minors. >> buck: this is first professional season. pitch made in the fall league last year. kind of allow him to have some sass. >> gary: that's a fair ball and there's no play. cabrera just broken out of his slump here in these two games. three hits in the game. >> buck: it's swinging bunt up the 3rd base line. has to make a play because it's going to go over the bag. has no play whatsoever.
10:50 pm

10:51 pm
the d.h., jack cust coming up. cust contributions include an rbi and a ground ball out. a walk and a run scored. 0-2 officially at the plate. cust just a .200 hitter lifetime off the orioles but has four home runs against the o's. one away and a runner at 1s, take the pitch for a strike. spend parts of two seasons as an oriole in uniform. in triple a and then got a call up play the remaining season in 2003 with the orioles. 27 games and then one at bat one game in 2004. ended up signing with oakland.
10:52 pm
been. >> gary: been hitting the long ball. 0-2 count to cust. that will be taken inside. he said after the ball game last night his back which is continued to act up on him is still hurting and hurt last night. play as long as i can and last night of course his longest bat. 1-2 delivery to him breaking ball and that would just miss outside. gourds good back door breaking ball. hernandez hasn't gotten the call. >> gary: seven home runs last 28 games. and that pitch will be taken. and the count is full 3-2. squeeze on the strike zone here. he's going to have to work one
10:53 pm
inning against cust sitting fouls back into the screen. >> buck: cust has a degenerative disk in his back and causes back spasms. something he's going to have to deal with. not much he can do in the middle of the season to address it. rest it when it tightens up and hope that doesn't happen very often. >> gary: 3-2. cabrera on 1st base. you can do that with a bad disk you can play again tomorrow. big cut. >> buck: hernandez comes up with a strikeout and that high fastball, 95 miles an hour. he's got enough zip on the fastball to blow good morning three strikeouts. no walks for hernandez. he's given up three hits. no runs charged to him.
10:54 pm
good breaking ball away and holliday rbi single walk and a run scored flied out. >> buck: holliday had that rbi single in the 4th inning after a similar swing on the first pitch drilled a fastball into right field. >> gary: 0-1. two away. back to the gap. jones. reaching for it. runner's going to be stopped at 3rd. it will be a double. so holliday second hit. a double and a single in the ball game. 7th two bagger hit in this game by the a's. >> buck: this time they come with a breaking ball. hits it off the end of the bat a little bit and that's when it skips by jones who tried to flag it down with a bare hand. cabrera jogging around the bases stops at 3rd base. >> gary: holliday's got the double. ten of them on the year. and crosby's going to get the
10:55 pm
rbi chance. first at bat for bobby crosby. game on for giambi. and the pitch is up high. giambi coming out of the ball game after picking up a bases loaded double. three rbis in the 3rd inning. left 1-3. crosby one of many on this team to have enormous struggles at the plate. we'll take the pitch up high hitting a .205 on the season. coming off a road trip in which he went 2-19. he too much better hitter here. .280 at home. 2-0 delivery to him. outside corner strike. >> buck: you hear so much about oakland. a lot of these hitters love the background here in center field. it's a very high hitters background. it's really good for hitters to pick up the ball out of the
10:56 pm
pitcher's hand. >> gary: slider off speed. 2-2 to crosby. >> buck: see what the hitters deal with. mt. davis this part of the stadium built exclusively for the raiders. because of that it's become a pretty good hitters background. >> gary: fouls it off. and a lot of room in the outfield. these alleys are deep. if you get a ball by the outfielder in the power alley either one it's got a long way to roll. >> buck: even though there's so much foul territory that will lead to some foul outs, still a lot of room in the gaps. >> gary: bobby crosby. 2-2 delivery to him. that's outside. john blocks it 3-2. sot eight doubles ties a franchise record doubles in a
10:57 pm
ball game. eight of them. >> buck: that's a pretty historic franchise with a lot of great hitters. >> gary: 3-2 delivery. you hit doubles you'll score runs. they have. >> buck: i think doubles are more of a problem for pitchers than home runs. when you constantly give up doubles, you have a guy in scoring position every time. and you're always looking back saying there's another guy back there. home run at least you start off with nobody on. >> gary: 3-2 count. crosby hanging tough. he'll foul another one away. the a's have scored as many as 12 runs in a ball game this year. that came on the 12th of may against kansas city. put nine runs up so far in this game. their hit high is 16 hit against the angels. >> buck: bobby crosby came up
10:58 pm
in 2004 from the american league rookie of the year award with 22 home runs and drove in 64. he was playing shortstop then. since then had a series of injuries has robbed him more than anything playing time. >> gary: coming up 3-2 delivery. swung on and got him. foul tip held onto. hernandez gets the strikeout. that is his fourth leaving two in scoring position. zaun hangs onto it. 9-0 a's. t whatever you're watching down here, while you check out local traffic, weather, even your news up there. i've got a news flash you're out of mayo. how did you get in here? door was open. you'd have tons of ways for you to search content: by actor, director, any word at all. what about chicken? chicken's fine. any word. no i mean do you have any chicken? i want to eat some chicken. and one of the coolest things you can do with fios...
10:59 pm
...is stream your music and your photos from your computer to your tv. slideshows look and sound better than ever. and now is the best time to upgrade to fios all the time. want to tell the why? i do not. because when you call the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 800-974-6006 tty/v today you can get all three services for the price of two: just... i will now return you to your program and unfortunately for some of you, to cable. yeah! wait, what?
