espn. and on sirius satellite radio. and if you missed part of the show, you can catch us on espnews in a couple ofúú÷÷  from the land of downtown baltimore, welcome to game three of a four game series.

the orioles won the first game. last night they lost. your world delivered. today jeremy guthrie is sent to the mound. he is 7-12. a left handed pitcher for the orioles. beautiful day for baseball. hello, everybody. >> tom: davis. welcoming you to the studio right above the field. cruz told me the night before, are they improving? >> you know something, there is no way to tell right now, tom. i would like to say yes they are, but the win loss record doesn't indicate that with any one of them. what i look for, for the rest of the season, i'm not going to evaluate these guys on their win/loss. berken has two wins on the season. i can't evaluate them. what i want to see when they go out to the mound, i want to see the way they handle adversity. this is what i look for, going into next season.

the orioles aren't going anywhere, they are not going to play in a playoff or have a wild card berth so far this season. what i want to do, every single young guy that comes in here to pitch, i want to see the way he pushes hitters around the battedder's box. what he has learned about what they are capable of doing as compared to what the pitcher on the mound is capable of doing. when you need to pitch inside, you need to play hard ball. that is what i want to see these guys doing. when they get kicked around a little bit, how do they turn it around and come back the next inning and deal with the guys the second third and fourth the course of the ballgame. that is when i'll tell you there was improvement made. i know they can pitch. sooner or later it is going to happen. they are the toughest division in all of baseball and they are going to learn how to be tough in order to get a good plus from me. >> tom: you are wound up today. it is a special day for nick and for brian. for more on that let's go to amber. >> amber: tonight there is an

opportunity for orioles fans to not only interact with nick markakis but to help out charities while they do it. both are holding charity events after the game. brian roberts is holding his brian roberts baseball bat. kids will buy tickets, come into the zone, play games, have fun, have a chance to hang out with nod not only brian but other orioles as well and the proceeds with that event will go to the university of maryland children's hospital. brian has been giving to that hospital for many years now and now nick markakis, he and his wife, christina, have started the right side foundation. this is their first big event. tonight they will be holding over at patterson's market in canton a run and walk. that event is open to the public right now so people can register. we'll tell you how to do that in just a moment. but first, hear from both of these guys. >> it is such an amazing night. but for us, it is really the times that we get to go to the

hospital and be can the wides. -- with the kids and be around those you really affect are the best times for us. i have been in the hospital, i have had open-heart surgery. i know a small bit of what they are going through. so to be able to kind of relate that to them, and maybe give them hope that one day they can live out their dreams, even though they may be going through a hard time right now, that is the best part for me. >> it is going to be exciting. the biggest thing i want to go out there and have fun. everybody else have fun. you know, just enjoy themselves. >> it is not too late for people to register, right? so real quick, give us a last pitch on how people can walk up. >> they go up to the registration tense at the event and sign up. i know that they should be expecting not a whole lot. but you know, a good bit of people walking up and signing up. it is never too late to come out and participate. >> brian roberts and nick markakis giving back to the

baltimore community. that event is sold out. nick markakis, his event is still open to the public. they would love to see you down at patterson park. it starts at 6:00 p.m. tonight. show up early if you are walking up to register, you don't have to be a good runner, you can do the one mile fun walk if you want to. go to right side foundation.org for more information. i know they are expecting a lot of people to welcome back up and they would love as many fans at patterson park as possible tonight after the game. tom? >> tom: amber will be reporting during the game and on the post game show. time to look at the angels lineup. tori missed more than 30 games with a groin injury. juan rivera, nine runs on the road. how about sean? most ever career bases by an angel dating back to the beginning of time. >> they are going to have to find a way to slow him down. for the orioles have to pitch

out on him, it is going to give them another thought and he doesn't get so many good jumps. we have for make a, effort from the pitchers to make sure to hold the ball longer make him service and slow down the jump. it is the only way you are going to get a shot as throwing him out. he is putting himself in scoring position and something the orioles cannot afford to give away easy stolen bases and let the opposition the angels get that much of an advantage over us. we have got to play some tougher defense and that is part of it. >> a lot of people will be coming after tom. >> rick: tom, he is a good contact hitter. he was given an ultimatum he better start alleteing, this guy has lit it up. he started against the orioles and all they wanted to do was throw him fast balls and let him get hit. >> tom: the type five or six are the same but the bottom three

are different today. tie wig beginton, third and seventh, chad moellerer will be the catcher. brian roberts last 20 games batting .346, rick, that is an impressive number. >> rick: brian roberts has been streak can i this year. but since the all stay star break, he has been consistent all the time. what shows it is he is using more of the field than he was the first half of the season. in the gap in left center and right, you leave something off speed middle in, brian robertson is going to turn that thing around. the little guy is like if he dry afrom the red sox. you can't fool around with a lot of people. they can hit the ball out of the ballpark. i like to say it because brian roberts is not your big, homerun

hitter. the big guy like that. if he had any kind of power at all, the guy would hit 40 to 50 home runs a year. because he just bangs the ball to death. >> he has had some science infection so a good year for brian roberts so far this season. when we come back, we are going to have rocco join us on this sunday edition. ?

 >> tom: it's a beautiful da for a ballgame. the orioles getting ready to face the angels. jeremy guthrie stretching out a will bit as he gets ready to start. tom davis together with rick dempsey and now joined by rocco on sunday. >> i thought it was casual sunday. >> this is casual. >> come on. he is just trying to show the guns off. >> you have march there on your

logo -- you have masn there on your logo. the orioles get this young guy to first base, now they have three. you think about michael aubrey, and also brenden snyder. >> pretty soon we are going to have it shirt tuesday here. they are stocking up. they went after this guy. usually a player to be named is a guy from the lower levels of the minors, but they specifically we want after him. he had good numbers. hit .313 in aaa, and andy calls him a late bloomer, he really likes his bat and this really is insurance here. if they don't resign aubrey hoff, if they let him go as a free agent, they have him. you have michael ab brea, now john hughes, maybe hughes is the guy that holds down to florida in spring training or he is good enough he takes the job.

we don't know. they may pursue a first baseman in trade or free agency but this is another bat. apparently he is fairly legitimate and good enough they had to send tampa money to complete the trade. >> tom: there is a new guy running around the outfield out there. i think his name is pie? he resembled that remark. he has gotten himself back into the mix again. he has showed a lot of improvement. what are your impressions? and does he have a job back with his ball club again? >> they just signed their draft pick coffee, who would have gone really well with pie. felix may never be the superstar, but his spikes are in the hall of fame. you know, dave said he wants to get him more playing time in left field. in part because they want to continue to evaluate him.

also with the ailments, i think felix may have found his niche. he is hitting .310 as an outfielder. it is okay to appreciate what he is bringing to this club right now. as dave trembley said, he injects a lot of energy in the lineup. he raises the value, maybe another team takes a look at him. i'm not saying they are looking to move him, but he is not going to magically come up with another minor league option. you could still end up with a roster crunch. if he is playing well is his value goes up, maybe he gets dealt somewhere else. >> how about brian? he made three starts, one and two. after the game, he got out of that five run-inning he felt the most comfortable he has felt in the big leagues. >> i talked to him today. i said what are the biggest adjustments you have had to make? going to the majors? the first first thing he talked about is the strike zone. it is not the same here.

he gave a perfect example. you saw it last night with abreu. he didn't get the call. 3-1 a fast ball on the black. did not get the call. that is a strike i anywhere else. he is not used to have that strike zone that tight. he conceded abreu is a proven major league hitter. he is going to get that call and also relaxing more. after that third inning he penalty his comfort zone for the first time. he was his most relaxed. he can't recall falling behind another hitter. from that point on they got a couple hits. abreu comes up again three straight, perfect sliders, three swings, three misses to strike him out. he knows he has the stuff to pitch here. he is convinced of it. he belongs here. he was in his comfort zone in the easter league. this hnothing else to prove here. he is glad he had that chance to establish that comfort zone and prove it here right now.

after that third inning, things really clicked for him and he does trust his stuff. i love talking pitching with this kid. he is 22. it is like talking to maddox, the way he breaks down a game. he has great stuff and also up here. he is a very bright kid. he knows how to pitch. i think he is going to be a number one starter here. he struck owe pray. >> ended up with -- struck out abreu. >> the balls are being looped but he needs to get the strike calls. if you have a fast ball on the black, you would have said something to the umpire if you were catching. you would have said something. >> you have got to talk to them. there is no doubt about that. the kid it is obvious he has an idea what changing speeds is all about. he has a good relief point. he'll catch on after awhile. >> masn sports.com check it outside. you'll enjoy it. following his mind there. whether we come back, we are going to look at another

edition of dempsey saying ga. the story comes up next, here on masn. 

 our entire crew would l to have a corona right now. >> they might be in the dugout for all we know. welcome back tom davis again together with rick dempsey as the orioles get ready to face the angels in game three. rick what do you have for us this week? >> well the orioles lone all-star is out in centerfield. adam jones. we had a chance to talk to him about how he plays his defense. adam jones, dempsey's dugout, right now. >> i try to do it as simple as possible. you know, sometimes i get into it too aggressively and that causes me to be more delayed on my reaction. so i try to keep going into it

as san easy walk into t help me relax to get a better read on the ball and where the ball is going to go. >> rick: do you come in on the ball better or back on the ball better? >> i don't know. sometimes i feel like i don't do any of them well. but i think personally, you know, coming in, i come in on the ball. i think pretty well. i go back on the ball pretty well. certain times i have been miss judges balls. but i don't know. i think i do all of them well, but i think i need to do them better like like i loved the catch you made off ike list. what did that feel like when you robbed him? >> i said okay i might have some time to jump up and catch t i sprinted to the wall, first off. i said i can catch timed myself made the jump for the ball.

>> and you nick markakis have the inner team rivalry. it is a fun thing, healthy, great to watch both of you guys one right after the other on the basis and. >> it is. it is fun watching him. the right fielder gets so many opportunities to grow. guys just keep going and going, so it is a treat to see him throw because the man puts the ball right where he needs to be. for me it is different out here for centerfield. we have the longer throw. everything is a little different. you have to be perfect. i try to pick the situations in which i throw but for the most part, i have the ball on my end i'm going to try to throw him out. >> rick: how do you feel about all three of you guy working together do you work well to the left? to the right? to it seems like it is getting better to all of you guys. >> it happened quickly we got to

play spring training right off the bat. ryan molar i got to play -- ryan molar i got to play a little bit in spring training. >> this walk is supposed to be pretty nice to run up against. are there some spots you don't want to see coming out here? >> the corner. it looks soft. it looks padded. but behind this inch of pad is cement. >> he makes the catch. up against the wall. >> see as you come behind there, you get to see that you know,. >> rick: this is what you have to deal with? >> everybody sees the other side but this is the real side that you don't get to see is what i have to, the force i have to take if i'm running full speed into it. but, at the end of the day, i

don't mind it. >> rick: yeah? >> it is part of the game. >> rick: just makes the catches, right. adam, thank you so much for filling me in on what goes in on the outfield. >> it is always a pleasure. >> tom: great job. rick dempsey. today's pitchers sean oh sullivan pitching for the angels. we continue on masn here in a moment. @@pp÷÷

 back to baltimore's cam yards. the orioles lost last night 5- 1. it is a fabulous evening i know a lot of oral fans will be

going over there. welcome back here tom davis together with rick dempsey. we begin with jeremy guthrie the orioles starter. >> rick: an era of statistics, sunday is a fun day for jeremy guthrie. that is a day in day games, he is second in the american league, with a .200 batting average. that is all they hit against him in day games. maybe he ought to wait around until the orioles play all their day games, because that is a good batting average. today is key for jeremy. he has to work faster but he definitely has to slow his tempo down. that first game back from the all-star break was darn near perfect, the way that he orchestrated that game. he is still trying to find that tempo. if he gets it back on track, i don't think there is too many teams that can beat him tom. >> >> tom: sean o'sullivan for the angels was one walk away from a perfect day in aaa. back july 29th he threw a no hitter. he walked one guy otherwise he

would have had a perfect game. beautiful day against the sacramento river cats, an oakland organization team right there u. almost a perfect team. no leprechaun luck here. he is irish and i am too. i know he has no luck against right hand hitters, they hit .346 and there are plenty in the orioles lineup. >> as for rick dempsey's key to today's orioles angels game, don't derail the doubling dynamic duo, two days. brian roberts leads the american league and right behind him nick markakis. > >> tom: how about the player to watch today. >> tom: mine is back in the lupuline up again.

luke ask the. we all know he is very streak can i. today is a good sunday to come out there, he hits well in day games. i'm going to pick luke. it is a long shot. he has been struggling because i think he is going to have a great day today. >> tom: the angels are under .500 in the american league west. a comfortable lead in the western division. >> rick: i know texas is improving and they key on the angels, there is no doubt about that. there is a battle going on with seattle showing what they should have showed last year. when they head up against one another they really have done their homework. it is amazing mike scioscia can play his team tougher than the new york yankees. they play well on the road all the time. >> the angels by the way are 4- 2 against the yankees the red sox and tampa bay. it is going to be the orioles and eagles game and the angels.

a lot of bold flavors, for a limited time only. chili's --  is a sunny and warm sunda afternoon at camden yards. it is a perfect day for baseball as the orioles take on the los

angeles angels. it is the third game and i'm jim hunter. thanks for joining us today as the orioles get back at it. today they send their most experienced pitcher to the mound, jeremy guthrie. he has struggled with consistency, which in the past he has had almost start after start. here are the current numbers. he has lost his last four starts and pitched to a very high era of 6.57. he hasn't won a game since a very good outing july 19th against the white objection and combined over his last seven starts he has won only one game. the question is we know he has the stuff. how does he get more consistent. >> jim: you know he is a high energy guy. i told him we live in the same apartment complex, i said tomorrow try pitching and do it well and sit on the bench. don't keep running around. high energy guy, he has tried

different mechanical stuff. but at the end of the day he has to establish better pitches. this is not a good team to make mistakes against. the angels, he knows he can get them out if he makes his pitches. he has chad moellerer in the day,s everything is odds side. the only thing he has to do is control what he can control. and thing i was there a few times in my career. paralysis by overanalysis. he just has to go out and pitch and make his pitches and take his chances. >> that is a good. jeremy guthrie is extremely intelligent as a person and sometimes i think he out thinks himself. >> there is a tendency to do that, especially when things don't go well. the chicago game he pitched well, he was against jose contreras. the game was close, he went into the late innings where the

orioles added runs. he made it easy by being able to pitch in the late innings. the swing game in his four game series. whoever wins today has a chance to get three out of four. it is a gorgeous day here at the ballpark. the orioles and angels getting set. lineups and first pitch, next. 

 orioles baseball on masn is brought to you by southwest airlines. book your next trip at southwest.com. and by corona and corona light, official sponsors of the timeout. relax responsibly. >> jim: all depends on other street a perfect day for baseball. the orioles and angels getting together, angels in first place. they have a record of 69-45. there is the few from the bullpen area. a lot of fans mingling out there the starting lineup for the

angels today. sean pickens will lead off abreu at third. kendry morales at third base, will bat fifth. tori hunter is activated today. he is batting sixth aybar and kendrick next. > >> jim: let's try the three rs, relax, have a rhythm when you release the ball. work over that front side, and then the key. pitch well and get some offense. >> jim: you might confuse him though, reading, writing and math. >> jim: if he can get into something that is mechanically better that is a good formula to try to win.

>> jim: 7-12 on the yearful you saw his numbers. 89 degrees on a beautiful saturday afternoon. there is strike one to sean. sitting five straight. it seems regardless of how he is swinging at the moment whenever the angels play the orioles, he has a big series .339 hitter. another strike, inside quarter. >> jim: one of the things about guthrie it has been a very straight fast ball. how do you get movement? >> jim: relax. if you are squeezing the ball, just lake the bat, again we talked about chad moellerer, catching. the veteran. watch him. watch where he moves and see if jeremy is able to locate somewhere in the proximity of the glove. move it in. there is the target. see he missed. so instead of, i think that if

we go back and work into his last pitching and that was against oakland, when he almost hit davis and then got a great result 2-2 pitch. side ball three. to a full count on the angels lead off hitter. >> jim: again it is great to hold the glove on your inside corner but if that is not your strength. pickens is .33 against right handed pitching. bobbled momentarily and he is in with a lead off double. so 0-2 on the count. pickens bat in the at bat. >> jim: there's your conventional four seem fast ball. he throws a two seamer, where he

holds his fingers and that is the slider. he throws a change up occasionally too hard. it doesn't matter how you hold them. if you go 0-2 and run the count to 3 manufacture 2 too a guy who can steal bases you are playing into the hands of the hitter. a stolen base threat third in the league. he has, however, been caught more than any other potential base stealer, he has been caught 13 times. izturis takes low ball two here, caesar's brother. there are four switch hitters in the angels's lineup today. >> jim: audio ball three chad moellerer out to the mound for a chat with jeremy guthrie. guthrie is allowing ten base hits for nine innings. see one more than a base hit

for ending on the year. 7 love 12. -- are 6-12. he has four of those wins here at camden yards. a slow ball four. so after a lead off double, two on with none out. >> jim: the only good news about that, it sets up the double play. against this team, we talk about the angels. they are number two in offense on the road. and the amazing thing is they almost hit as well on the road as they do at home. .290 versus .288. again this is the team only two in the american league that have a winning record on the road. one is the yankees and one is the angels. they are 18-6 in their last 24 games. they are averaging right around seven runs a game.

>> jim: there is bobby abreu. how does a guy hit you? the last time jeremy guthrie pitched against the angels abreu had a hanging change up for a homerun. that was 2-0. then he came on with a couple of guys on, didn't get a weigh in, but got a run on to right centerfield. >> jim: high fly ball to center field. he will tag he is going for his third. jones alertly throws it back into second base to keep the double play in order. first and third one down. >> jim: look at the defense. jones, wiggington with mora, who has been hitting the ball well. andino in, and robinson hoff and molar behind the plate as we have already documented. adam jones didn't play that

ball very well there the ball caught way off to his left. again plenty of time to get under it. actually have your momentum going to third base. adam has one of the best throwing arms in baseball. >> jim: jim here's juan rivera. you saw chad moellerer give the small -- the signals to infield. >> jim: they are second to the rays in stolen bases. with 9 of 12 opportunities. not that pickens is going to steal home, i can't imagine that but he has stolen bases 36 times caught 13. rivera red hot with the bat doesn't run well,. >> jim: 0-1 on rivera. guthrie taking his tame. line drive a base hit into left

field and the angels get the lead. pickens will come in, rbi hit for juan rivera and the angels jump on guthrie for a run. the angels did make a lineup change. here's rivera in the clean up spot and he comes through. >> again this is a guy that hit three doubles friday night. his only out was a line drive. base hit off madison third inning when the angels scored all their runs last night. this gives you an idea of whether rivera used to hit with hunter coming back after missing 33 games. anywhere you put him in the lineup, he is red hot. >> jim: here is the most proficient rbi man. kendry morales. the first batter cla meredith

faced was guerrero, his leg tightened up behind the knee. he was in the original lineup and then was scratched so mike scioscia moved rivera into that clean up spot and he comes through. morales off the plate 1-1. >> jim: look at those numbers. that is since the 16th of july. again this is the guy that you believed in. bonus kid out of cuba, back in 2003 when he was 21 years old citizenship in the dominican republic. when you let him go you better have someone to play first base. he went to atlanta and now with the red sox. you needed somebody to come in and to me, jim, what i saw last night even with the lead they put him in to pinch hit and felt

comfortable with him playing defensively. you cannot play for mike scioscia's ball club if you can't help the club defensively, along with your bat. he made a fine play in the innings last night. >> jim: the angels do lead the league in batting. they are only ninth in home runs. they have the ability to prolong innings. we saw what they did last night. five runs in batting around in the third inning and every base hit in that inal was a single. -- in that inning was a single. >> aybar was in the opposite field. >> jim: another one hit over the plate. as fires in. three hits in the inning the

bases are loaded. as we take a look, at some of the numbers right here, again the angels number one the orioles, as far as what they do against right handed pitching. i talked to adam kennedy, the veteran who played for oakland the night after guthrie pitched. he said he pitched well, the scatter report we have seen it here in the first inning. a fall down the middle to rivera, a fall down the middle to morales. sooner or later the scouting report off guthrie a good location. the angels are proving that here in the first. >> here is tory hunter back off the dl. >> he swings still 0-1. even the slider was a good one. he got on top of it. but it was in the middle of the lit. so again, good teams. they are looking for the balls in the middle of the plate. the plate is 17 inches wide. you can add a baseball in each side. so you have about 22 inches.

you try to stay out of the middle. >> there you go. same pitch, same result. what i like about that call by the veteran catcher, saw the location of guthrie, read the bat and called the same pitch. >> yeah and he missed 32 games. here's a guy the groin problem i talked to tori said he didn't know how he hurt it but he has been out a little over a month. that is down and away. jeremy needs to make a pitch. he has a guy that hasn't hit at this level for over a month. he is a terrific hitter. eight time gold glove winner made the all-star team this year. couldn't play because of the injuries. you need to get him out here or otherwise you are looking athe a big inning. >> jim: now back in the count. >> jim: already the pitch count

is being elevated here. it is early in the game but it is how many in an inning do you throw? he is up to 23 already. 2-2 high fly ball to left center field. it should be deep enough to get a run adam jones will take it. he will throw it third base. there is a sac fly and an rbi 2-0 lead for the angels. >> jim: if you get ahead 0-2 you are looking for a strikeout, strike two. all of a sudden, lack of execution. now you are back bases are loaded. another slider, not a bad pitch. hunter's looking forget something in the air, he does and the angels get their second run. >> jim: the power house bringing you the pitch strikes. >> jim: you hope two runs is your bad inning and then you take the chances. for brian there was a five

run-inning in the third. >> the angels there adding to their league lead in action identification flies. to me it is a very underrated statistic because you are getting a run in by making an out. taking advantage of situation al hit and go hunter gets that run in. >> jim: that one's taken low by erick aybar. >> jim: they lead the american league with the ability to go from first to third. they have done it 90 times. even pickens tagging up on the immediate fly ball. there is a base hit into right field juan rivera, here's the throw. the tag, he is safe. chad moellerer missed the tag. rivera slides in. the umpire felt he eluded the tag and it is 3-0. >> jim: yes but did he touch home plane plate?

the throw's off the line. take a look. see the throw's a little bit, now did he tag the base? no, yeah, maybe. boy, i'll tell what you, that is very hard to tell. you can see chad trying to reach back. and i think he got it right. look at that. that's about as little of the plate as you can touch to be safe. chad moellerer did not get the tag on him john mccain. >> jim: the throw was just off a little bit. i think basically dave trembley is coming out saying hey, did he tag the plate? he might have gotten with a fingernail. that is a great slice chad had to go up the line to get the ball. he can't get back, rivera, who does not run well, i mean this is a very good slide. and he is able to stop himself enough because look, he is going

to go by the plate and he low as down and reaches back with that left arm. so it is a terrific slide. right there's played himself. a little jose greco, dancer. >> jim: he challenged the bang bang play and the angels get a third run and two more in scoring position. mike napoli comes in, he has been red hot. you know, you get mathis last night jeff mathis is a terrific catch and throw guy. he has gotten clutch hits over the last three weeks. he can call a good game and you get a power guy right here. it is an interesting platoon, if you will. they both bat right handed. do you need defense or offense? or match up better?

i think mathis caught out when certain guys pitch in anaheim and that continues. >> jim: wide at first shading his eyes from the sun. the inning is finally over. but the angels said into the plate and three. the bottom of the first. pxopo

 >> jim: the angels jump on jeremy guthrie for a 3-0 lead.

brian roberts adam jones and nick markakis with abe dry huff batting clean up. second highest batting average among rookies at .272. luke scott back in the lineup eighth, ty wiggington at third chad moellerer will catch. take a look at our scouting report on sean o'sullivan. 21 years old. luck irish. with a high era. rick dempsey talked about him in the opening. then we saw him in anaheim. against the orioles. got a no decision. they sent him bang and he had had a no hitter. only one walk back on the 28th of july. >> jim: brian roberts takes a strike. >> jim: always fun to have a 3- 0 lead. > >> jim: absolutely this follows o'sullivan. if you look at his record he is

3-1. this is his eighth start in the big leagues. he has been back and forth a couple of times to aaa salt lake. the ball hits he's got him. oh, what a play by aybar. robbing roberts of a base hit. one down. > >> jim: you know they shipped brian, it doesn't get any better than this. accuracy, look where he is, he is in left field. five steps into left field and lets it fly. and we are talking again a ball away. you get a great jump out of the box and he still throws him out. just an amazing play. >> jim: how about this? he was not in the lineup today. vladimir guerrero was. luck irish. >> jim: he wasn't in the lineup. he had an rbi single on the first and now to the bottom of

the first. >> jim: i was adopted i don't know if i was irish or not but i thought it was the luck irish every time i would see brooks the third in the lineup when i was pitching and jones to be short. he got him two down. not a good idea. you have got to hit it somewhere else. the guy is two for two. try somebody else. >> jim: this is routine. both of the outs from the outfield grass. look at that arm. >> jim: aybar back to background balls and two quick outs for sean o'sullivan with two outs and the bases empty. >> jim: if you don't think defense, fix up your pitching. >> jim: he tops a foul wide to third and runs out of room.

>> jim: coming up. >> jim: the angels have not pitched this year as as well as as we have been accustomed to. the defense even more important behind pitchers they have been working in and out to gain experience. >> jim: when you lose lackey early on, you lose santana, escobar had shoulder surgery, he is trying to get his way back, you lose scot shields, you lose frankie rodriguez to the mets, three-year deal. done a terrific job with 33 saves. early on i metonic's dad in the locker room. a tragic death early on. you start out 6-11. things are not going your way

early. > >> jim: we'll head to the second at camden yards and then if your bag wants to bring one of its little bag friends for company, they charge another $25. that's just plain mean. why do they hate your bags? at southwest airlines, bags fly free. grab your bag. it's on! ( ding )
