3:11 pm
through seven innings. >> bob: getting ready. and this isn't anything about lannan how he is pitching. but if the nats get two base runners they will be down to the ninth spot in the order. he has been throwing that breaking ball really, really well. all day long. as rob said. he had several games this year where it has been very good. and it is not so good. it always goes south on him and
3:12 pm
best game he has thrown period. and one of these days, you feel so good. and it wind up where you want it to be. >> well, maybe this is the second best, rob. >> bob: one hit of shut out ball through eight innings against one of the best hitting teams anywhere. >> willingham gets out of play and it will. >> you throw it down and it is down and away. you see him rocking the hitters. back and forth. and even nick johnson seems to have jammed himself on the 3-2 pitch. sometimes you will. jump at the ball. and still talk about diving. and you overswing and hits you right over your hand. and then you know the pitcher has good stuff working. >> tired of waiting.
3:13 pm
stepping out. >> and willingham gets under one and did he get it. yes, he did. and the game is tied! mr. solo himself. with number 14. now each of them has homered in the ceres. rob, it was sitting there. >> rob: he may have missed the kouzmanoff double in the field but he didn't miss the breaking ball by chad gaudin.
3:14 pm
gaudin can watch it go. >> bob: there is josh bard. that's the thing about good pitching. one swing changes everything. >> rob: you hit the nail on the head with kouzmanoff. and he got a big double for his ball club. and one mistake he made. and his offense has got him off the hook at this point. and could possibly put him in line with the run. >> bob: deservedly so. and josh bard hit one home run this year. and he gets it to center. and plenty of room out there for venable. now, you have got the little guys coming up and they are line drives and gonzalez and hernandez. and they are combined.
3:15 pm
six, for their last 52. when you are in a position lake gonzalez or hernandez. there is a job after salvable for the taking. right now, he is not embracing that. he is going up there and trying to hit the ball. and that's not him. >> rob: when you see a guy drop that back shoulder and get underneath it. that's when bad things happen to hitters. he keeps doing it. and the right shoulder goes down and he upper cuts and puts the ball up in the air. check this out right here. watch the back shoulder go down instead of forward. see. >> yes. >> rob: every time he drops it. you have to get on top. that's is a little flare out to center. it will drop. gonzalez gets a gift and the
3:16 pm
lead run is on base here in the 7th inning. >> rob: he gets lucky here. rather be lucky than good. hits it off the end of the bat. and times the first movement is taking a step back. big swing into the bat. it is frozen. venable takes a second to get in. and nice single. >> bob: john lannan is on deck am and his future in the game depends on what anderson hernandez does. this is an interesting decision for jim riggleman. that's a foul off his leg. if he advances the runner to third. , pretty much. he has to pinch hit. and get the runner over. >> if he makes it to the soaked south: >> he will city in.
3:17 pm
>> this is interesting.   . >> he will stay in. >> bob: you know what the nats are looking for. a line drive somewhere. that's a father ball. gonzalez steps in. and tag play at second. and 3-6-double play. >> we keep him in for a little while. top the eighth coming up. josh willingham ties the game d hit 14 this year. 12 of them have been solos. and the breaking ball went a long, long way.

3:20 pm
today. adam dunn, yes, he does. and long run for the big fellow. and i don't know. looks to me like he is reading the ball off the bat and right now better than he has all year. >> bob: i would agree with that statement. he was over there. >> rob: all the first step. and in the it. not going to get to it. and does. and chad gaudin goes seven
3:21 pm
innings and gives them one run on the willingham homer. four strikeouts and double play ball. outstanding day for him. 98 pitches. 61 strikes. now, lannan pitching into the 8th inning will be hit four in the bottom and. when 57 of the first pitches are strikes, those are too close to call strikes. >> resulting in a walk. to a speedy runner with one out. and stolen a base today and two in the series. and john lannan is the first walk in his last couple of starts. and walk them and in the loss
3:22 pm
to the cubs and 10 days ago. and cabrera, a definite running threat and he has doubled today. and ball ball one. >> rob: this is a grounds ball. get out of this. >> rob: always have to think we are one pitch for getting out the inning. and some fireworks up in philadelphia, the phils now have another home run. ryan howard's 25th. and jason bergmann. mike macdougal. >> rob: might throw bergmann out there to get one out.
3:23 pm
and get pinched hit for. and venable's stuff. hitters step out on lannan. he is too fast. they st. peter's ended out on gaudin. because he was slowing things down. it is a 1-1 pitch from john. i thought you deserved something when you are pitching like this. big lannan expression and body language tells you how he is feeling about it. >> he throws 14 balls and the first seven innings of the ball
3:24 pm
game. >> bob: screamer into the seats. and the nats dugout. >> rob: his last walk was 10 day it is ago. >> bob: yes. >> rob: he has been a strike throwing machine. >> bob: they got him. and cabrera was leaning. and he is not happy about it. and here comes bud black. and he is leaning. and he is gone for the second out. >> rob: he got caught. >> rob: see him watch the move. and lannan noticed it and gets it. and. >> bob: he is arguing and got the hand back in. and nick johnson slapped it
3:25 pm
down in a hurry. >> rob: no, he got him. watch him move towards second. freeze it. and he is done. >> bob: that was close. >> bob: i think the san diego guys are looking at it saying he had his hand back in. but he is out. >> rob: good for them. >> bob: now the counsel is 2-2 on venable. and john lannan is one pitch away from being out of this inning. >> rob: almost like when the throw beats you to bag. sometimes you are safe and the umpire sees it differently and when you see the first movement go. and that's a step towards second. watch this. no, little bit too far into the replay. and nick has got did the tag right there. before the hand hits the bag. >> bob: could have been called either way. develop nab is guy d john
3:26 pm

3:45 pm
>> rob: i know. mike macdougal and keep if mine. adrian gonzalez is in the game. if anyone get on, he is the fourth batter. macdougal misses. right down the middle. and most recent save against the mets when he worked a 1-2-3-9th and got three ground balls. out of play, left side. strike two.
3:46 pm
next up. the strong handed batter. and you could see the same for him. kyle blanks. little bit outside. got him on a hard sticking fastball. and it would have been ball three and headley went after it and got nothing. >> rob: when a guy is throwing that hard, you have to make a quick decision. makes the wrong one. down and in: macdougal can bring it. it is 97 and it is below the knees. >> bob: here is kouzmanoff. keep the ball down on this guy.
3:47 pm
padres only rbi today. opposite feel double in the six. and 53rd. in this year. out corner, and that was a sizzle. ball clubs have given up on macdougal. don't know if he was throwing this hard when they did. and a pop up. overpowered the right-handed batter. and two down.
3:48 pm
>> rob: you know the other organizations might have tried to change. there are some things you don't want him to do. but for him it works. generates a lot of velocity. kyle blanks, the hitter. 0-3, today 0-7 in the series and he just ties the game. two out solo and first blown save as the nats. and blanks his third home run of the year. and in fact, third career home run. >> rob: this is a really strong kid. and right down the heart of the plate. the kid smokes it and blanks has the third home run and more
3:49 pm
importantly, game tieing home run. >> bob: it is a win away from john lannan. i am sure steve mccatty wants to remind him. don't worry.   i was trying to keep  the save and now i want to keep it tied. and get to the ninth. >> you are looking at adrian gonzalez. and their most dangerous hitter. >> rob: but he hurricane been
3:50 pm
swinging the bat that well. still worry about him and you don't want to put him on base, if you don't have to. >> bob: the only guy who got what he deserved. who should have been out the 8th inning and he is off the hook. 1-1 to gonzalez. nick johnson; and we are going to the bottom of the ninth. for the nats. and it as 2-2 game. across the country every day. pa announcer: final boarding call... all passengers... each with an average speed of 590 mph...

3:52 pm
minutes. there is the line score. it as tie ball game as we go to the bottom of the ninth, ray. >> the closer sometimes try to get it over too early. there is the ball 79 miles an hour and right down the middle the play. and can't stop pitching because you get two outs. they don't mean to do it and you have to put a little bit more of calmness in the effort instead of that. and it happens. and happens to us more often than other people. >> see if they can get it out and we will go back upstairs to bob and ron. >> bob: they might come with the closer heath bell. but it comes to mike adams, their set up guy. and hurricane pitched that many innings and sets them up. and 206 e.r.a. pardon me. these are heath bell's numbers and one slide up further.
3:53 pm
18 per game. and 1-1-3 e.r.a. in 16 innings. >> rob: the one thing that remains a mystery with macdougal, doesn't have a good second pitch. whether it as breaking ball or anything he could change his eye level of the hitters would be beneficial not only to himself but to the team. we know he could bring it. nine #, 97, every time and you don't have much to go with it. you are an easy read. and he has got one pitch. and sit it dead red until we get the one we like. >> bob: bard is one for three with a single. at dams misses. scoreless eighth on friday night. and three strikeouts. and he struck out zimmerman.
3:54 pm
dunn and johnson. and the padres win. 83 on the change-up. >> rob: the old frankie rodriguez stretch working. and puts them p. high behind his head like franky rodriguez. >> bob: 1-2 to bard and two change-ups in a row. and that one is off. hard slider.

3:56 pm
out. alberto gonzalez and anderson hernandez the next two hitters. 1-22 when he dropped that one in. he used to swing at everything up on his eyes right now. >> bob: fastball up and away. and the count is even. 1-1. 1-2.
3:57 pm
>> rob: take it is off for that one. >> rob: got a very nice differential between 84 and 92. not easy if you are a hitter. >> bob: slider is halfway in between. >> rob: you got to be ready right now with this guy. >> bob: fastball away, 2-2. a
3:58 pm
hop to short. and one out away from extra innings unless anderson hernandez does something about that. he is 0-3 today and five for his last 31.
3:59 pm
that swing is not going to get it done. >> you got to cut that down and drive it back up the box and get it going with two outs right here. and contact guy coming up. >> bob: real sequence of speed here and gonzalez. morgan and harris.

4:01 pm
nothing we brew is as versatile with food as boston lager. the sam adams lager goes beautifully with a lot of ethnic spicy foods. the maltiness and hoppiness work well with indian food. samuel adams boston lager is strong enough to support a heavier meal and it's balanced enough that's it's not going to overpower a lighter meal it could compliment a salmon dish with a little bit of spice to it. whether at a restaurant you're at home if you're having great food and you need a great beer, boston lager is the beer that i use. sam adams with great food-- there's nothing better.
4:02 pm
 . >> we are going to extra innings. and now we will check in with what is happening down on the farm. and let me tell you, this is a guy who is going to be very special. keep an eye on him. his numbers have been outstanding. he has not given up a walk in 13 appearances. and he has gotten 31 strikeouts and no walks. and he was one of the nats first round picks. and 10th overall. and he has been spectacular. > age dmitri young. and he is out for the year. tear in the left quad. >> bob? >> bob: that is bad news about dmitri. and he hit the ball hard. >> but morgan is out there.
4:03 pm
>> and one out here. >> meek mike going daal is still in the game. and going to walk off and eliezer alfonzo is the hitter. and he is warming up. they have the advantage because nats are the home team and bud black is preparing to use his noncatching extra man. >> left hitting drew on deck.

4:05 pm
is going to go ahead and make a change. padres had one position player left on the bench. and so after a delay. and maybe. waiting for beall medical to get ready, after giving -- beimel getting ready. it is 1-1 for the padres in a 2-2 game. how cold is it? it's chilled down to 34 degrees... for a taste as cold as the rockies. it's aged cold. it's filtered cold. and it's served in cans, bottles, and glasses... that tell you when it's cold. why? because refreshment isn't everything. it's the only thing. frost-brewed coors light. the world's most refreshing beer.
4:06 pm
4:07 pm
 . >> bob: joe beimel into the ball game and face the left-handed macias. and jim riggleman, pretty much knowing bud black is out of position players. no real right-handed pinch hitters available unless you want to employ your last catcher. and it is 1-1. >> rob: they have eight relievers and three bench players. >> bob: this game can go on awhile. and big slow breaking ball. and macias, as a pinch hitter. one for nine with a rbi. 20 major league at bats and bee
