 eco friendly shopping b presented by fan friendly major league baseball players. fans coming into the ballpark tonight, it might be zimmermann, stammen or lannan, and kids getting their pictures with their favorite nats. what a nice way to come into the ballpark on a saturday night. now we're a little worried about some weather that might be coming into the ballpark. bob carpenter, rob dibble, we're talking about young pitchers again toontd the nats continue to bring young men to the major leagues like j.d. martin tonight. >> rob: well, we're in a situation of a rebuilding program that the nationals are under. when you have a lot of young guys, a lot of top prospects and you fall behind the pack a little bit, you can run a lot of guys out there. they've used 10 starters, that's third most in the national league and there's a lot of them that are under 26 years of age.

the current rotation right now, 91 major league starts, 57 of them are owned by john lannan. it's a very young and growing pitching staff, and j.d. martin making his second ever major league start, first one wasn't that bad. a little bit of growing pain. >> bob: and the young starting rotation an e.r.a. of 4.89. ryan zimmermann was as tall as the washington monument last night with a base hit and a home run and his always great defense. he's on a pace 27 homers and 96 rbi's. 

 >> bob: breezes are blowing i the ballpark tonight, weather approaching from the southwest. we'll see how long and how well the nats and the padres can

play here. san diego, lowest batting average and runs scored in major league baseball. luis rodriguez sure didn't look like a .203 hitter last night. he came in hitting .194. a homer, a single and three runs batted in. here we go, for j.d. martin after a rough outing against the mets. four innings, five runs, eight hits. didn't walk anybody. had a strikeout. he'll face tony gwynn to start off the ballgame. gwynn hitting at .291. >> rob: he's got stuft to pitch at this level. >> bob: cloudy skies, temperatures right around the 90 mark as we get started here, right on time at 7:05.

and the 2-0 pitch is a hard breaking ball that catches the inside corner, 2-1. nationals are on a 2-3 home stand at the moment, trying to get it back even tonight, set up a rubber game tomorrow. john lannan goes tomorrow. sounds like a great idea. and a drive to left, adam dunn is right there. >> rob: pnc bank scouting report coming. when he was 10 years old his father taught him his curveball and, yes, his dad pitched in the minor leagues 60s and 70s with the yankees and the angels, so he learned from a pretty good source on the breaking ball. >> bob: and has a brother kevin. they played together in the cleveland organization. here's everth cabrera, the shortstop batting .220. cabrera on base a couple of

times, had a sacrifice. and he turns on that one, it's hooking down the right-field line. the runner just stood there at home plate. he's going to stop at second, and he should be on third. he thought that ball was going to hook. he stood at home plate and watched it. willingham couldn't reach it and cabrera is at second base, but that is not good base running. >> rob: no, and bud black will not be happy at him after the ballgame. as he's looking at it, looking at it, and, oh, i better start running. it's off that little screen by the bullpen door. he could have been on third rounding third going to home after it hit the wall and bud black thinking, okay, young man, we're going to have a little discussion after the game or even after the half inning. >> bob: when you're a 22-year- old rookie, you hit the ball and you run.

now, rob, here's a situation, first inning of a ballgame, worst hitting team in major league baseball, best hitter, you can not let him beat you here with first base open. >> rob: you can't let him beat you, but when you're auditioning for a job next year, jim riggleman at this point, like we discussed before the game, probably going let him pitch to gonzalez. they want to see him get out gonzalez. yes, you want to win these ballgames, but you also want to see who do we like and who do we not like when you go into the winter meetings. >> bob: yeah, i hear you, but this is the most walked man in major league baseball, so nobody else is messing around. that's a breaking ball and he has thrown him some quality pitches here. and the count's 1-2 with one

on, one out, top of the first. gonzalez has a batting average down to .249. second in the league in home runs with 25. and the phillies are putting a hurt on st. louis today, 10 to 5 up there in philly, bottom of the 7th. cubs won again, they beat cincinnati 5-3. only two games this afternoon. gonzalez pulls it, that's going to tell jim riggleman something. that's a good quality out, his young pitcher did not throw the ball right over the plate to a dangerous major league hitter. wil nieves. so the nats go catcher, second base and center field up the middle with three defensive changes from last night. two outs, runner add third,

kevin kouzmanoff, 51 rbi's. >> rob: he throws his fastball about 88 to 92. he's got a good cutter, you saw it there. and he's got the great breaking ball. you just kind of work on two pitches tonight. took something off of the breaking ball right there. >> bob: well done. wally bell, 17 year veteran has the plate tonight. >> rob: as we said last night, did not have a good breaking ball, great fastball, worked it around, was able to get the win last night. >> bob: and we talked about this before, the san diego road

uniforms. they don't go road gray, it's called sand. a tribute to the beaches out there. the trim on the jerseys and the uniform pants. and a bouncer out to short. nice big hop for cristian guzman and a good job by j.d. martin of getting that scoreless top of the first. pa announcer: final boarding call... all passengers... each with an average speed of 590 mph... almost as fast as you. nothing's gonna hold you down. grab your bag . it's on™west so our low fares stay low.

to the ballpark tonight. and a good first inning for j.d. martin. southwest.com line-up for the nationals. 19 games over three weeks with the nats and nyjer morgan, .342. for the season he's hitting .291. his overall on base average is .357. the other thing he's done, he has stolen 11 of his 29 bases with the nationals already. here's tim stauffer who did not pitch at all last year, after surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. 27 years of age and he was with the padres for 18 ballgames over a three year period before that. >> he has had a lot of arm trouble, but he still throws in the mid 90s, has great velocity. maybe the pnc in just a moment.

>> bob: nyjer morgan heads one to the gap. this ball's got some carry on it. hits right off the scoreboard and he's thinking three. a good throw gets him. it gets away. and he's on third base with nobody out. triple all the way from morgan who made up his mind he was going. that's his 6th triple of the year and his first as a national. >> rob: love the aggressiveness. right off the bat. hanging ball right off the scoreboard. should have been dead, but here's the throw from gwynn, bad throw from the cut-off man. you challenge the arms of the defensive team on the field and right there it pays off. >> bob: that's why pitchers back up third. >> rob: yes, but i don't recommend making the first or the third out at third.

>> bob: now they have morgan hung up. no tag there. guzman's at second base now. morgan is tagged that time. that was a little careless. >> rob: hey, they're making some things happen right now. >> bob: guzman hits the shot right here. first pitch fastball, he's going to take it the other way. maybe even a breaking ball on the hands. but great play by kouzmanoff, cuts it off right here. nyjer does a great job avoiding the tag right there and trying to get his base runner to move up and get guzman in scoring position and guzman does a great job hustling into second. even though it was a mistake, he lasted long enough in the pickle to make up for it. >> bob: well, at least 2/3 of it. the nats don't have a runner at third with less than two outs

anymore. and zimmerman and dunn will have a couple of chance toss put the nats on top here. there's a high drive to left center. see you later! that will make up for the base running problem and the nationals lead 2-0. that's number 17 for zimmerman. he goes deep two nights in a row. rbi total shoots up to 59. >> rob: another hanging breaking ball by stauffer. down and in on a righty, it's just like down and in on a lefty. a huge mistake. and zimmerman kills it over to the red porch area. that's long home run, making it

2-0. you said he's on pace to hit 27. i'm going to say he hits 30. i think he gets hot again. >> bob: well, i hope so. he was on pace before the game to hit 27 and 96. that's probably jumped up now to about 29 and 80-some -- i'm sorry, 96 rbi's. so he has a legitimate chance to drive in 100 which he did in his first full season back in 06. >> bob: remember, we didn't have niejner the first half. so we have more of a table setter. >> bob: should have been on base. >> rob: but wasn't. and i just see things changing around jim riggleman, is a no nonsense guy. he laid down the law last night. >> bob: not happy about a lackluster performance to say the least. adam dunn base hit.

his hitting streak came to an end last night. he's now hit ?raif seven of his last eight. >> rob: first round pick, he's fourth overall in 2003. could have been roommates with our own j.d. martin because they both had tommy john surgery in 2005 and this is his 8th time that he's been recalled from the minor leagues back up to the major leagues mostly because of injury. eight times riding the shuttle. >> bob: the pitching coach. three out of four nats have hit safely here, and all of them hit extremely well into the teeth of the san diego defense. drew macias in right field tonight and the other change, jose lobaton is the catcher. a lot of young players trying to make their mark at the major league level on this san diego team. >> rob: they're in the same

predicament we are. they have a lot of openings for next year's roster. >> bob: their position players are a lot younger though than washington's. here's nick batting .302. and he was on base two more times last night with a single and a walk. his on base average sits at .413. stauffer misses. there's a bunch of offense at home parks in the national league east on this evening. the phillies have taken a 14-5 lead against st. louis. atlanta's at milwaukee tonight, the mets have two early runs at houston, later the marlins are

at the dodgers. phillies lead the braves and the marlins by five and a half in the east. nick johnson hits it hard. it scoots right past the foul side of the bag. nationals come in hitting .260, 7th in the league. they're 11th in runs, one batter above .300. but some others close. remember the first two months of the season where we had five guys over .300. >> rob: a lot of them can if they get hot easily hit .300 for the season. >> bob: nick reaching for a change-up away. two down. >> rob: we don't see that too often. that motive pretty good change- up by stauffer. -- that must have been a pretty good change-up by stauffer. >> bob: these hitters, they all have on-base averages of .400

or better. the man stepping in, josh willingham at .408. >> rob: you saw a great job by our camera crew catching him in slow motion. the hips go forward, the hands stayed back. that pitch was so well thrown it was too far outside for nick to make contact and lift it into left field. >> bob: the skies are darkening to the west of us. so it's good to have the lead when there's a weather situation brewing. in this case a 2-0 nats lead early on the blast by zimmerman. that's what we're looking at behind third base and behind home plate approaching from the southwest. willingham hits the ball well to left, but right there is chase headley. and the nats get a big blast from zimmerman.  ♪

3 rbi's. >> bob: rollins had a grand slam in that game. macias is 26 years of age, younger brother of lorenzo macias, drafted a couple of years ago by oakland. a bouncer, nick johnson, a one hopper, two outs. next up will be last night's home run hero, luis rodriguez. yikes. and it's not an official ballgame yet. it's a little early for that. too bad we didn't start this baby at 6:00. a lot of major league teams are doing that with their saturday games, at least until the network games get on. now you've got that broadcast window, and you can't do that if you want to televise your games. remember when we were in tampa, we couldn't televise the first

hour of the game at 6:00. luis rodriguez hitting .203. the catcher jose lobaton next. it's low and away, 3-0. time for j.d. martin to keep his focus and go after this guy. and try to get his fifth consecutive hitter. four pitch walk. how many times have we seen that this year after two outs. >> rob: more times than i care to count. >> bob: next up is 24-year-old switch hitting catcher jose lobaton. signed with the padres at the age of 17 back in 02. been in the minor leagues for seven-plus years. but here he is at the major league level sharing the

catching duties with eliezer alfonzo. there is a serious front rolling across our ballpark at the moment. one ball and one strike to lobaton. right now the leading edge of it is out to the northeast of us. you can see the flags have shifted, wind blowing hard from the direction where the storm is coming from. bouncing ball. belliard gets a piece of it. and over to third base will be rodriguez with two outs. >> rob: like you said, this started with two outs, and a four-pitch walk.

>> bob: that will cost him a lot of extra pitches, but he does have the pitcher coming up now. man, you should see the flags on top of the scoreboard and out in left field. the wind is really changing. the conditions, the grounds crew is poised behind the tarp. and this will be a good out for j.d. to get right here. pretty good rip by stauffer who does have six career hits and three rbi's. and a little chopner front of the plate. martin handles it and the padres are gone in the top of the second. erything... tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 including who i trust to look after my money."

 >> bob: it is not raining, the ground crew knows that something is happening here and they've already unrolled the tarp. they're pulling at it like crazy working against the wind here to get the infield covered. now, the only good thing about this is it gives the fans downstairs a chance to get back under the cover so it's not a panic situation like you do have when it really starts raining and people have to get out of the way. we're going to close our windows up here and then we'll

"espnews". >> what must henry aaron be thinking? when it comes to issues like steroids, what must aaron be thinking? during his chase of babe ruth's homerun record, the editor, not only prepared coverage, but he wrote an opitch rare for aaron, concerned that he might be murdered. a target of death threats, what in the heck must he be thinking about issues in sports today? the hammer was asked today, at hall of fame weekend. >> i think it's going to have the effect of people saying, well most of the guys, who had these fabulous records, 60 homeruns, they'll say, well, there was on steroids and i don't know if they were. it's hard for me to believe that

everybody was on them. look at some young kids like pujols, with, the st. louis cardinals. i just believe that, watching him gradually get to the place where he is today, i think his ability, only reason that he's having the kind of year that he's having. i would hate to think that he is -- would anybody ever say he was on steroids. so, that's the only affect that it's going to v. player that's great and could be great. could be great, even if they didn't take steroids and i think those players, have to remember that, if they had just lived the normal life, and do what they were supposed to do, they would be voted into the hall of fame. i think, somewhere, something is going to be put on there. i hate to say it, be an asterisk somewhere. >> how do you want to see it handled? how do you want to see the records and the hall of fame

candidacies of these players handled? >> there's no way that you can handle it. no way that you can say, he hit so many homeruns or did so many great things is because of the fact that he was on steroids. no way that you can do that. you can only take, as the commissioner is trying to clean it up. and make the players be on what they call, a list of testing them and things like that. but, i don't know that there's any systematic way that you can, handle the whole thing. you just got to hope that, you are doing the right thing and hope that the players realize, that you're just trying to do what is right. >> what should be done in the hall of fame, regarding the records of steroid players, and, the players, themselves? >> i don't know, as i said before, the only thing that i think is probably going to happen. and i said this, this is my own thinking is that most of the

players, some of the players who have have this great records of homeruns, and whatever else, pitching, whatever you want to say, is that their name will be with an asterisk. that's the only way. i don't know how else you can handle it. i don't believe that because a guy, used steroids, that it is going to make him hit "x" number of homeruns. if a guy is on steroids, the recovery area is very good. he can play today and play two games tomorrow and things like that. but, i don't think it has anything to do with him hitting a fastball, or somebody throwing a fastball, 90-miles-per-hour or something like that. >> do you envision a day, where you and barry bonds will be together, in cooperstown? how do you feel about that. >> it doesn't matter to me. i'm only one person. if he is voted into the hall of fame, i would be part of it. i would sit there and shake his hand and be part of his

ceremony. >> as you know, your homerun record was passed and roger maris single homerun record was passed. how do you view the new records? >> it's a record. they made it and that's the way i look at it. barry bonds passed me and that's the way it is. i'm officially, when you look at it, no more than 755 homeruns, and i think he had eight or nine or twelve more than i did. so, you have to say, he's right now, the homerun champ. >> how does that make you feel. >> it doesn't bother me. i gave baseball, everything that i had. everything for the years, i played it and play it the way i think all the fans knew i could play it and that was it. i have no feelings, i don't have any feelings towards any player, no guilt feeling.

and no recent meant. i just feel like i did everything, humanly possible that henry aaron could do and that was it. >> talking about the reds and cubs. johnny cueto on the hill, he has struggled, and it continued. bottom first, game tied. ramirez, takes him out of the yard, 3-1 cubs. 9.61 e.r.a. in the first-inning alone. dickerson, nice glove there. robbing hart, the replacement starter for lilly. later, soriano, going yard. cubs win this game, 5-3, their 9th win in twelve games. reds' 6th-straight loss. >> well, lance armstrong may be sipping champagne but it will be
