yeah! wait, what? very impressive in cent field by b.j. upton, kept the nationals from at least 2nd and 3rd nobody out. one on one out. let's head to randy choate for
3:31 pm
the rays in his 10th experience. one earned run in 7 inning, 8 strikeout, two walks. tough assignment for nick johnson who's 2-3 today. they're warming up a right hander, wheeler now. jason blew out his shoulder last night. 0-1 to nick who singled to right. right off the end of the bat with a breaking ball. quickly 0-2. >> rob: kid has a great arm who can really throw hard.
3:32 pm
the number one criticism, his fastball is very straight. [cheering and applause] >> bob: ball gets away. down to 2nd hernandez. very casually played by navarro. got to be a pass ball. >> rob: navarro turned the glove over, gets by him. it's even hard to play catch with a left hander. the ball moves all over the place. i'm sure when he throws it full
3:33 pm
speed, it's the easiest thing to catch. >> bob: 1-2 to nick johnson now. a fastball is outside, 2-2. nick came into the game batting .213 much better with runners at 2nd and 3rd. >> rob: nick grew up in sacramento, probably didn't hear a lot of cow bells. i like how you find the cow
3:34 pm
though. >> bob: they have a contest with the fans to find the cow. >> rob: the chick-fil-a cow. >> bob: it's marketing and baseball. ryan zimmermann the dh 0-3 today today. he'll get around late and bounce it over by the bag foul. >> bob: red sox are putting it on the phillies again today 4- 1. >> rob: what's the yankees store? >> bob: let me get an update. 13-0 still, top of the 7th.
3:35 pm
10-3 marlins at toronto on top. pirates beating beating the tigers 6-1. phillies tie the red sox. national leagues doing a great job today except for atlanta. they're trail acinging -- trailingng. dodgers and texas just under way. you're up to date on this sunday of baseball. nick johnson, high chopper right side. ben sow -- ben zobrist two outs. ray knight and johnny holliday coming up for nats extra.
3:36 pm
a lot of groundouts today. the nats offense very strong. alberto two of the hits. martis and sea bath i can't --- . >> bob: this is the second run issued by the rays today. it's time for adam dunn to jump up and hurt tampa bay. >> rob: not a good day for santana. 82 pitches in 3 innings. aj burnett on the other side 6
3:37 pm
inning, 4 hit, 8 punch outs. >> bob: evidently at yankees stadium you need to make them swing and miss. >> bob: he's adam dunn. this could be the defining play of the day for the nationals. bullpen about to take over. fastball for a strike. not the kind of first pitch you usually see from a lefty. the pitch selection or the location. >> rob: on the pitch track here, fastball that cuts back over the plate. the catcher had to set up outside. >> bob: nearly threw it away.
3:38 pm
navarro saves a run. this is supposed to be a cutter. >> rob: he tries to aim it and throws it in the dirt, navarro. probably instead of block it with his glove, tried to slide out to get his body behind it. >> bob: neither team doing much in this department. big hit of the day gonzalez back in the 4th. drive to left center that drove in two runs. 1-1 to dunn. he looks at a fastball right in there. adam has seen two center cut fastballs from a left hander here. i doubt if he'll see another.
3:39 pm
[cheering and applause] >> bob: 2-2. you have your first winning series, go to the world series and all the crazies come out. >> rob: i wouldn't call the guy crazy. >> bob: i would. that's a fastball. close but outside. 3-2. they've got a choice to make here. either pitch to dunn or have wheeler pitch to dukes. >> rob: this was below the knees and outside. nice job by the umpire on that
3:40 pm
call. >> bob: at 1st, base, zimmermann will be running. runners at the corners. 3-2 count, two outs in a tie game.  >> bob: adam dunn  pitch in the strike zone. he took three fastballs for strikes in that at bat. the nats have left six. that will finish shields' for the day. he'll give up 4 runs in 6 innings. adam dunn leaves a couple of men aboard. 7 inning stretch time. from tampa bay st. peters bay, god bless america.

3:45 pm
the 7th. >> rob: mccattywill get on the plane tonight. he will be pleased with this -- >> bob: elijah dukes cruising for this one. one out. top of the order coming up now. >> rob: if you're steve mccatty, you want to see the evolution of guys like stammen. today, you're going to have gays -- have days where you don't have your best stuff. detwiler had one really big mistake. other than that, it was an excellent day for detwiler. >> bob: do you see a difference now in the way our young
3:46 pm
pitchers are approaching hitters? >> rob: absolutely. they're trying to work ahead. they're working with their best pitches and getting beat on some of their best pitches instead of nibbling around the plate and trying not to get beat out there. you're going to have to pitch to contact. that's what steve preaches. go out with your a game. see what happens three times through the line up. i think a lot of guys were worried about the end result before they went out and performed and performed and executed. i think you have to have an idea when you take the field as a pitcher. steve is telling the guy, it's on yous. >> bob: completely fooling
3:47 pm
upton on that pitch. two outs. >> rob: julian tavarez veteran with a sideline slider. b.j. upton will walk back to the dugout. >> bob: he did side wind it. it also had a strike to it. it was not a fast slider. here's burrell with two outs. just off the dl a couple of days with a neck strain. he's 1 hive 8 in this -- 1-8 in this series. >> rob: josh bard has been flip flopping the catcher.
3:48 pm
>> bob: 2-0. here's the hook again. tavarez misses. these two have seen each other a lot. years with the phillies. >> bob: a fastball misses. [cheering and applause] you hate to see evan longoria bat when it could have been a one, two, three. try out the grand slam flex pan. five plans to choose from. go to the website for more information. >> bob: we'd love to see the
3:49 pm
nats grab this final game. it would make the weekend for our manager better. manny is shaken by the willingham news from yesterday. and all the news of his job status. it can't be easy being asked about that. that's a good man in that dugout, a good baseball person. >> rob: he's a stand up man. >> bob: he's got one going today. 0-2. make sure you keep that baby down. >> rob: i wish i was younger. i would love to play for manny acta. outstanding man, even better manager. i'd love to be the one to walk into the press briefing and say what do you think of the guy in your bullpen? >> bob: look at that pitch.
3:50 pm
way outside. tavarez takes care of longoria. it will be dukes, patterson and gonzalez in the 4-4 game. 
3:51 pm
nationals will have f six, seven up in the 8th. elijah dukes has had a lot to do with the success of the offense today. >> bob: this kid is some kind of strong. the fastball, he drilled to
3:52 pm
left center field. then he gets an outside breaking ball. he drills that to left center field. that will put a couple of doubles on the day. he got back to 2nd safely on that ball p.. the corners were in. >> rob: that was was hit sharply. you get caught in between right there. no blame on either guy. >> bob: slider by dan wheeler who pitched here in a scoreless inning friday night. only two hits in this series against the tampa bay bullpen for the nationals in this
3:53 pm
series series. we should do a study, back to back video of pitchers going into their stretch and some of the odd things they do. dan wheeler looks like he's doing intense meditating. >> rob: i think he's going, "please don't hit it. please don't hit it. ." >> bob: what's different about that glove wig and will what you used to do? >> rob: i was a tapper. it was a really bad habit, tapped on the front leg. mcgraw would do it after an inning. that's what i was doing during the stretch. i didn't do that -- >> bob: folks remember for your young pitchers at home, it's
3:54 pm
okay to wiggle. don't tap. >> rob: raise and lower your arm arm. >> bob: dukes with a foul ball straight back. >> rob: let me create this diversion right here in the middle of my line up. pretty cool. >> bob: dukes reaches out to hit that one to left. got some carry on it. kapler, one out. [cheering and applause]
3:55 pm
day off tomorrow. how about pitching theories for the yankees before the blue jays come. wong on wednesday, 105 day game thursday, craig stammen and chamber land. we would be in line to see ryan friday. >> bob: a strike to corey patterson. >> rob: two of the three times corey patterson has been at the plate today he's hit rockets. one was the one hopper caught by pena. >> bob: still looking for his first nats hit after four at bats. it's another rocket.
3:56 pm
that one hooks foul. get there. it was a hot potato nobody in the bullpen could catch either. >> rob: nice swing here. down and away. reaches out. 31-year-old dan wheeler, second year with tampa bay. second full season. 70 games last year. 70 the year before, two-thirds at houston before coming here. he's a guy that likes to get the ball several times a week. patterson reaching on a two
3:57 pm
strike pitch. misjudging it. kapler is everywhere. [cheering and applause] >> bob: 25,481 here at tropicana field. they had a big crowd last night for the ludacris concert. that first number they did was something. it's the only one i heard. >> rob: after that you were deafened. >> bob: what? what? what?
3:58 pm
bases empty, gonzalez with two batted in. he goes out of his zone to foul this one. 75,000 for the pregame series here. on a breaking ball, gonzalez reaching. the nats can't do anything against the tampa bay bullpen this weekend. s on. - it's on. - ( music playing throughout ) - it's on. - oh, it's on, all right. - it's on. - totally on. jimmy, it's on. - it's on. - oh, yeah, it's on. affirmative, it's on. announcer: southwest airlines announces new service out of bwi airport,
