going to figure it out. i mean, they are right there. >> so he could have had, eventually he has to take him out. a lot of pitches are closing in on a hundred. dave trembley is coming out and going to the bullpen. you never went to do this when you have a guy talented jeremy has shown the orioles over the last couple of years. too many balls in the middle of the plate. too many up the middle. we still have a chance to win the game. >> so henderson comes -o guthrie leaves. angels lead it by a run.

now at chili's -- welcome to chili's. start your three-course meals with a shared appetizer. for a second course, choose two entrees from over 15 chili's favorites, like our big mouth bites -- the mini burgers with giant layers of flavor. or a half-rack of our triple-basted baby back ribs. then save some room to share a decadent dessert. a lot of bold flavors, for a limited time only. chili's --

 look at our geico game summary. a lot of offense brea both teams. three runs in the first inning. jeremy guthrie then the orioles would come back 4-0. 4-2 on the roberts two run homerun. make it 6-3 after the angels add a couple. then 6-4 nick markakis ties it up 6-6. then howie kendrick is driven in with two outs. guthrie now for what some the angels 67 times. two run home runs. luke scott having a great afternoon. mark hendrickson. guthrie on the bench.

seven earned runs. the two men on the base are his responsibility. they try to get abreu here to end it. hendrickson fits well as a leader. gotten the game last night and pitched an inning. he worked the eighth inning, aloud a one out single and then got out of it. abreu hitting close to .300. he is at .197. >> double steal, to third two in scoring position with two down. >> jim: well they take what you give them. if you are mike scioscia, you have great speed. again it is one thing to talk about stealing bases.

the other thing to execute it. and they do it. perfect throw, by chad moellerer. just not in time. big jump on mark helped dribbing son. it is 0-2 on abreu. so the angels score in four of their six at bats against guthrie. >> jim: the inning ends. good job by hendrickson. the angels get the lead back. 7-6 los angeles. @x@0@p@0@6p)@)

 >> amber: a scary night as saw david wright from the mets get hit in the head. matt cain said he was released from the hospital with concussion symptoms. no word on when he will return. dodgers pitch her mickey was hit in the game last night against the diamondbacks with a comebacker on the mound. we are told there are no fractures and that he is going to be okay. also a quick update on brad ferguson. he was sent to the orioles minor training facility to begin a training programs now we know nothing is seriously wrong. jim? >> jim: i know brad is very anxious to get back to baseball related activities. three times a day going through

therapy to get that shin back in shape. it is the landing leg, his left leg, and of course if there is anything whatsoever, you don't want to go to the mound, because you don't want your leg to alter your arm. >> jim: he was in the whirlpool going from hot to cold. he was use it go more than he wanted to. >> jim: now he can get to sarasota and actually get on a baseball field under the medical team down there. dave walker hits that for the birds since he has missed about 17 days especially with all the innings, i think that is the important thing you talked about. because if you favor your legs and we have seen morgan and all kinds of going way back his career ended. >> jim: he is too important to the immediate future in particular. >> jim: i think you have to put

a governor on a youngster like that at 23 that wants to be out there. the theme is 20 games below 500. you want brad to get back and get that out of the way. i think that i told him the other day he would have been back off anyway because of with all the innings, 123 innings. he would have been probably many more than the innings he pitched laugh year in aa and actual-ball. you never want to have to just say okay, we go to a six man row tation and do it that way or miss a start or two. have an injury of matt palmer, the master of changing speeds and movement. to see if the orioles can do something. another cutter off the end of the bat a shallow right. he can't do it and it falls in and wiggington ends up at

second base. micer izturis was out -- macer izturis was out there. >> we saw adam jones earlier in the game he doesn't see it izturis he doesn't see it either. bobby's not even close izturis there were probably footsteps. bright, puffy clouds. the orioles they get a break here in the seventh. wiggington has a two hit game. see if the orioles take advantage now. a tying run on second base. here's chad moellerer. chad has looked good at the plate today. a good at bat on the third. yooksomefth  with runers on scoring position

i always felt he swung the bat  well agaist fast balls. that is what e got to hit th first up off sean o'sullivan. one a double up the gap to left center. there is a little cutterch a paer. different against matt becae everything is moving. it is almost like you men he was 30, almost like vonnie staying he was he was his pitching coach location is  important but oveet the strike zone is even more important. he are his had pitc cutting the ball or making it try to move. it is a good one. matt palmer grew up in missouri and now resides in arizona you are talking to gordon the advance guy with the phillies  @@he betth red x curve ball. the red sox dint have 

chance. earlier in the rear. 1-2 on moeller. úúúúúú rit sideand advance the runners, put some pressure on the defense of the angels. w that you have had two er to d strikes 2-2. wiggington edging off second base. and just i get a piece. upset with himself because he couldn't hang on to that one. >> a two seamer that little movement tries to get it by him and he fouls it off the glove. trembley looking on, on this bright day with the sunglasses

on. 2-2. on chad moellerer. andino is on deck. that was a close pitch. matt palmer has a mike marshall disease. they pitched 102 games for the dodgers way back in the late 80s. a professor. there is a blue, shallow right back to izturis and he has it for the out. moeller trying to go that way. saturday august 29th orioles fans are encouraged to be in their seats by 6:30 for a special pregame ceremony as hal bates will be inducted into the oriole hall of fame.

one of the true gentlemen in the game, harold mains. >> we'll see him in chicago. the orioles honored chick silversteen before. he just gave him a plaque he is going to have to do his rotator cuff exercises i can't here's a plaque. thanks. i wanted to see it tossed. >> jim: i wanted to see it also. see if he had the good form become. they could have gotten in the tunnel and warmed up like vice president biden did on opening day. >> jim: i go back to 1983 mike scioscia looking on when they had national baseball week and i pitched against scotty mcgregor on the lawn of the white house. president reagan came out, perfect attire, brown suit, nice tie, hair perfect. and i caught the% pitch.

i'm not exaggerating, it was like 85 miles per hour. he had to warm up in the west wing or something like that. the eventual president sitting there. get it's cross. two men down. so palm soldier an out away from getting out of this. wiggington is second. the copyright and telecast is presented by the orioles. the accounts and descriptions of this game may not be disseminated without the express written con sent of the orioles. brian roberts in the third inning went deep for his tenth homerun on the year all right. the orioles trailing 4-0 at the time would have the lead. the fast ball off sean o'sullivan. he would take a single now to get the tying run in.

>> he got the strike. >> jim: this is the third this inning with a runner at second base. >> jim: chris ray had a chance to talk to him today. he has been pitching out of his bullpen, his shoulder back in shape. location better, at least it was the other night. 0 and 1 on rockets. down to the way a ball and a strike. brian way homerun now on sixth street. 11 hits in the streak and seven

for extra bases. breaking ball he lays off ball two. aaron oliver the veteran left hander now getting loose as we peer in from center field. palmer came on with none down in the fifth after the orioles tied it. matt palmer gets out of it the seventh it is a one run game. of the plane in the dark. no peanuts or nothin'. 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 )

 chris ray has really pitched very effectively since coming back from the disabled list. s in particular with his delivery, and his mechanics, he is about to come into this game in the seventh inning since coming off the disabled list, five appearances a total of seven and a third no runs allowed. he has held the opposing batters to .259 with a 6.91 era. five consecutive outings from coming back. >> finally his shoulder, he had the offer a year. always an issue.

your hold is are where the velocity has gone up. we see it all time. 94, 95 in the middle plate doesn't do it hitters seem to be able to get on that. again, good sliders the other night. right there a good pitch. >> juan rivera first ball swinging he has it for the out one pitch one down in the seventh inning. >> jim: here is our ford trivia question. angels pitcher trevor bell is the grandson of who? jen autry, duke snyder, bow so the clown or burgess meredith? >> jim: i'm going to say burgess meredith just because i think he is a great actor. >> jim: do we have to answer it

right now? >> jim: i don't know he was from california. >> jim: bob bell from 1960 to 1984. when i was a kid in new york city i met the club. > >> jim: that was a lot better than last night. that was last night's trivia question. who are the three philadelphia ath let i could. >> jim: did you get that one? >> jim: are you out of your mind? > >> jim: a base hit to left field, morales gets out with one down. >> 11 hits and they have all

been thigh high or higher. that was a splitter. what a great hit ago approach by this ball club. and that was hit gently to left. see i thought when i saw that, that that was one of those you know, they are just trying to fool them. > >> jim: if we knew his last name was bell, we would have had a better chance. when i was a kid, bozo, at times, would tape his show in new york city and my father worked on the show. when i was a kid, i would tagalong to work with dad. what better thing to do? >> jim: that ball is ripped into left field for a base hit by tori you wanter. second and third and one out.

you think you don't have to run around the field? brian roberts was the cut-off man on thatch he was the double cut off man. unbelievable there. a high pitch a high slider to hunter. boy you would like to, and it is going to be more difficult now, they are going to potentially walk aybar to load up the bases. this is what we have seen year after year after year, when you are behind, and you have to hope to get a double play with one pitch. it is a lot of pressure on your defense and your pitching. they have all been good pitches to hit and the angels haven't missed them >> jim: the angels have scored in four of their first six at

bats and threatening here. the other two innings they didn't score they have gone three up and three down. >> jim: 18 wins that the last 24 road games and they were averaging over seven runs a game. one thing the orioles bullpen has done a very good job of is keep the ball in the ballpark. it is now 37 consecutive innings since danly buys dan buys allowed that win in detroit. >> now you need a double play to keep the score where it is. >> jim: here's mike napoli, the catcher who is 0 for 3. there is a good slider in there for a strike.

the angels already have one sac fly today. hunter in the first inning. they lead the league now with 43. >> jim: you know we told you about the fact they had gone from first to third 90 times, which leads the american league. a lot of it has to do with the ability to get to third base. you can score it. i don't have to hit the fly ball, you have to hit the third to keep it from being an out versus the sacrifice fly. so for chris the two hits, both balls up in the strike zone. the high fly ball left centerfield. reimold and jones and jones makes the catch. and fires into third. that goes as a sac fly rbi took a grand slam away from mike napoli.

look how far he has to go and then on the run, i don't know yeah, that ball's going out of here. what a play. tell what you, he made it look pretty routine. we'll talk about body control. first base umpire hole brooke now with dave trembley out for discussion. i'm not sure what this is about. maybe dave thought that the runner at third, morales, left too early. or did the runner go back to second base inside. did they double him up? so adam jones fired back in. and the ball went back toward the infield.

adam jones robbed napoli as a sac fly. dave trembley obviously does not like the explanation. he just heard from stan hole brooke. >> so the angels get another run since the orioles tied in the fifth, single runs in the sixth and seventh. it is 8-6. hunter tagged he went to third. aybar stayed at first. here's the number nine batter howie kendrick. so two sac flies in this game. driving in two the angels lead by two. >> jim: kind of an unusual play for hunter. usually you go halfway, that ball goes off the glove or whatever. more difficult if you are tagging up to score. but it does get him another

run. done get easier with denned trick. >> runner goes from first the orioles don't cover so aybar has the stolen base. >> that is three in the last two innings. like a track meet with these guys. 119 steals. tampa bay is in a different league. they were at 158 going into today's game. >> jim: i think the first wii to keep good base runners from stealing is keep them off. kendrick strikes out. now the angels hold an 8-6 lead. please drink responsibly. 

 fans enjoying their sev inning stretch. you kind of get the feeling it is going to come down to the ninth inning in this one. >> jim: it is going to come back into the back end of the bullpen. brian roberts got it back in the game after they trailed 4-0. he was's two run shot in between he had the solo homerun. the frustrating thing is looking at the scoreboard. last year jeremy guthrie would have been in the ballgame. you are still in this game. i think it is frustrating he didn't pitch any better than he did. the other side of the coin, you get an idea of how good this angel team is. see if you can score some runs and take your chances. when you put 16 runs on the board and 19 hits. >> we'll see why the angels

lead the league in hitting. we put the ball in play very well anywhere in the lineup they can hurt you. >> jim: most of the mistakes on pitches a lot of times you make mistakes as a pitcher they pop it up. but this angels team not missing too many mistakes. more than ten hits, 20 out of the 25 games. maybe a little bit different way than the yankees who lead the league in runs. ner number two. when we talk about the angels they can take the speed and the extra base. >> jim: it is not over until it is over and that may be the case this afternoon here's adam jones who will lead off with the birds in the bottom of the seventh inning. huff will follow adam scored

his last at bat. he is trying to get him up as the time run. matt palmer stays on he has been terrific. in his third inning of work he has allowed only a double. actually a ball lost in the sun. off the bat of ty wiggington. morales is wide at the bag, he takes it unassisted. one down. time now for you to text in your vote for the at&t player of the game, here are the candidates for today. nick markakis two run homerun. sean pickens a 3 hit game. so matt palmer does his job and he will lead and right now, he is the pitcher of record on the plus side as the remainder of the angels's bullpen now the back end darren oliver coming on, oliver coming on one out none on in the seventh. pxopo

 we invite to you keep u with all the latest orioles news. facebook and twitter. you could follow the orioles all season long and get firsthand information and behind the scene information straight from the communications department. just a click away. matt palmer was outstanding.

on a ball lost. he is the pitcher of record on the plus side. if the bullpen can hold it near the ageless darren oliver. >> jim: 38 years old and the dean of the staff. the lowest average .10-2 coming into this season. and 20 out of the last 23 outings are scoreless. inherited runners, he talked about that. he stranded 22 of the 29. not overpowering and not really a guy that is a left handed specialist. he gets right and left out equally. he has given up more home runs, five home runs the left and rights. hasn't done that in his two years with the angels. his 38. >> six home runs since the all far break. he changed his stance. he was more like stan. now he is more upright. >> jim: slicing it the other way. won't get there, but it is

fouled. >> jim: season of adjustments. he said no, i was in a period of adjustment. ended up in coopers town. you know, you look around at nick markakis, and there we go. jepsen who came in last night 98 miles per hour. i'm thinking about nick. he does use the whole field. anytime you can be all the way into august and you have 45 hits coming in, the last 48 to center and 49 to right field. i mean, can you use the whole field? any better than that? >> jim: that is why his consistency is what it is. 29 games since the all-star breaks he has base hits in 25 of the 29 games.

pitch it away. hits it away. nick markakis is out. two men out. >> jim: it is funny. if you started to say okay, darren olive this is his 14th year in the big leagues. you would say well you know, does he have a great slide and you go well, no. but it is very good. how about his curve ball? he only throws 90 or whatever. but he can pitch. he makes pitches. and my point all day long, if you look at the 14 runs, eight for the angels and six, a lot of them have been on pitches where the pitchers just haven't executed like they would like to. >> third baseman in the coaches box up now the orioles go three up three down in the seventh. angels coming up. up by two. @pp÷÷÷

 back here at oriole par is a two run game. it is for the birds. the last two innings of the game chris ray will stay on. and the top of the lineup and that means ray has to go against sean who is 3 for 4 with a couple of rbi hits. izturis will follow, then bobby abreu.

there is a trying in the outside corner. about guthrie went give. hendrickson struck out the only batter he faced. ray charged with a run in the seventh. the angels at 69 and 45. they have got 20 and 8 since the all-star break. now off the master cd moeller. their lead in the alwest is four and a half over texas. texas has been battling the red sox and the rangers have closed to within a half game of boston for the wild card lead and they are even in the loss. >> jim: i was looking on the internet with left and beckett pitching 31 and 14. the rest of the starter 31 and

34. eight stolen bases last night for the rangers against the red sox down in texas. julio four hits four of them. there is your outside corner. you know i was talking to rick about chris ray. looks like the velocity is coming back, talking about chris with his pitching coach. he said yeah, i looked at a lot of films. he stayed what's important is number one he gets healthy and now the shoulder is better, he said if you go back and look at his film when he first came up, there is probably a little more movement. so when he gets his arm strength back skis wind up a little bit smoothed out, he'll probably see some more location rate there. that is perfect. he makes a perfect pitch to sean. 94, 95 and again the release point on that split fingered fast ball to get it to go down. huff scores up and goes to

the bag unassisted. >> stays in the infield. i don't helps to be tall. helps to be green, too. >> green? i can't green? oh, you mean like green? >> yes. i'm trying. we have the solar water heater now, trying to cut down on the electric use. the sun heats the water. >> jim: we shouldn't had it some winter yet. we'll see. there is sun in the wintertime.

it is just a little farther away. >> jim: a big bounce to andino and safe at first base. that was trouble from the start. andino waited back on it to play big bounce and abreu always hustles. should in an infield out. this is a high chopper. do you smell a base hit? 35-year-old guy. i would imagine they'll give them an error. a good throw would have get gotten him. scoreboard says base hit. might as well give the veteran a base hit. good throw probably still would have had it. two down. here's rivera. batting clean up today. abreu, weird combination. 24 steals at age 35. >> jim: he would be one of

those guys to let everybody run on their own he said i want to find out if they had any kind of instincts. you don't need to know that about. yeah joe did manage bobby abreu one of the years he was in new york. he has always been a good base stealer. apparently they have thought better of that. >> doesn't change the problem for chris ray. you need to get the hitter out. you don't want abreu to steal the base. >> there is a stolen base for bobby abreu. >> number 25. absolutely amazing.

so again, going back to the theme of what joe was saying, i think that year paul o'neal, who is a big guy, terrific one of batting practice, .300, five straight years, something like 16 for 16, you find out about your guys. abreu runs by him and andino has it. so the error and bottom of the eighth, coming up. the orioles trail by two. . but with attention assist, your new e-class can actually detect drowsy driving behavior... and warn you. this is the new e-class. this is mercedes-benz. what is it to lead? at pnc, it's doing what most benefits our customers. whether that's building more certified green buildings than anyone on earth. creating online banking tools for the next generation.

or making a 10 year, $100 million investment in kids. it's how we've always done business. and will for a very long time to come. pnc. leading the way. geico's been saving people money and who doesn't want value for their dollar? been true since the day i made my first dollar. where is that dollar? i got it out to show you... uhh... was it rather old and wrinkly? yeah, you saw it? umm fancy a crisp? geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. this is the new e-class. this is mercedes-benz.

 here's in update on the vot for the player of the game. nick marks 31%. brain roberts 34%. sean pickens 3 for 5 he has 20%. still time to tech in your vote, and tom and rick will have the results coming up on the o's extra post game. kevin jepsen comes on for the angels in the eighth. >> we saw it last night. a sharp breaking ball. they have a guy with 33 saves only rivera with yankees with more. you leave him into the bullpen. they had a 5-1 lead last night. they came in with jason who orioles got to fairly quickly. they got that 33rd save. a power arm hurt earlier in

theier. as the season has progressed he has gotten better. >> you got a guy on, jim. you know the story that is all you need. you don't have a whole lot of time when a guy throws close to 100 miles per hour. you could see it right there, very early in the count chases something out of the zone. >> jim: scott and wiggington follow. that is trouble for abreu. that is down for a base hit and it false toward the corner. abreu gets it back in there you go. the orioles get the tying run to the plate. >> jim: right here right on the corner. the plate coverage slices it down the line. two runs down.   not going anywhere other than

into scoring position that was a modest three game hitting streak going. here's luke scott. luke has doubled, he has homered, he has grounded out. dying run at the plate in the eighth inning. >> jim: you'll see how luke will play it. you think the way he is swinging the bat right here a lot of ho movement, 97 miles per hour. double homerun already. reimold the lead off double. orioles now have nine base hits. breaking ball low. picked it up, let it go by. scott now has the homerun lead.

he has 36 extra base hits with the homerun today. extra swing and a high fast ball. he did check in time. here's larry vanover the crew chief. that is the other thing about watching a hitter who seems to be getting his comfort zone back. >> jim: you are right. when you compare them with what the angels have done they have rarely what i have seen in this series get themselves out early in the count. right there he started to bat. just imagine how strong you have to be to stop it like that. mike scioscia, the longest tenured manager in the american league. former catcher. catcher mike napoli is having a tough time with the relief

pitchers getting on. the runner gets to second base four times now has had to go to the mound. >> jim: let's see if jepsen's fast ball in the upper 90s. he makes a perfect pitch outside corner. 2-2 the count. batting with the sunglasses. reimold is second. reimold toward short. aybar to first as scott hustles down the line. reimold at third base with one out. productive out if you will because it advanced the base runner. > >> jim: he was just trying to drive a ball somewhere. s

hit it sharply right up the middle. they will play the infield back with a two run lead. so anywhere except the corners where they could elect to come home they'll get a run in. he puts it in play swings through that, 0-1. >> jim: see that is a perfect example. when somebody throws 988 miles per hour and he throws you a sharp breaking ball, if you are hitting well, do you swing at it? the answer is usually no. it is a pitcher's pitch. jepsen at least he was in trouble here. wieters is on deck to pinch hit for mora. 0-2 on wiggington. three consecutive pitches in the

same vicinity. that one wiggington laid off. 1-2 the count with reimold at third and one down. jepsen the fourth pitcher used by the angels. wow. where was that pitch? either he wasn't looking for that or he has a great eye. >> i guess that would help it but that ball must have missed by just a bit and he got him. wiggington down on strikes. runner on third with two out. >> if you are going to throw five straight breaking balls it better be as good as the other four and it was. maybe even better. 

 jim johnson and danny baez getting loose in the bullpen. wieters will pinch hit for chad moellerer. matt has a four game hitting streak going. he has not hit a homerun since the all-star break. he is up there representing the dying run. -- the tying run. a line drive toward the middle and a base hit. he got past the glove of izturis. it was a soft line drive and matt wieters comes off the bench and drives in a run. >> came in, in his last 20 games, hitting over .300. that number is going to go up. >> jim: just couldn't get there. there after the double down the

right field line. 8-7. so felix pie will hit for andino. >> jim: you can save mora now. when fuentes comes in, in the ninth inning. >> jim: that leaves us torres and mora on the bench. torres will have to come out defensively for andino. wieters on at first and two down. slowly hit to second base for the first. the orioles get back within a run. we'll head into the ninth inning at camden yards it is an 8-7 lead. 

 beautiful day in the in harbor. 22 base hits, cesar izturis comes in the game. he is at shortstop. matt wieters will take over the play for chad moellerer after pinch hitting for chad. danny baez comes on to work tonight. > >> jim: a couple of real hot spells. you have to remember coming off tommy jobs surgery. the story tried to start. could be make it as a starter

in bring training. didn't know that his elbow would hold up very rarely pitches in back to back games. when he gets the ball down, extremely effective. the orioles back within one the top of the lane up comes back for the orioles in the bottom of the ninth inning. likely closer fuentes. >> jim: how big was the play that adam jones made? only the sacrifice fly that could have been a huge inning for the angels and they kept it to one run baez gets ahead of concernedded dry more or less. a cup -- of morales. just a crash for the out, one down.

ere is the clos for th angels, brian fuentes. >> jim: he came in to save the night last night. >> a base hit for wieters. 0 for 16 by orioles pin hitters. more importantly it made it a one run game. at home in the bottom of the ninth. you can play for one run if you need to, to get a tie. backed by hunter. -> can for the keep this with @, añd8bagot through %%- you could have maa de anody claimed them or whatever. baez couldn't help anybody. he has had one of those kind of years. ramirez. the grand slamto when he t the tcs up. as you mentioned lk the last merun given up to thomas in the extra innings in detroit. all in all he has had a pr

>> jim: don't you believe we are about two weeks out now from the other deadline? somebody is going toa repitcher between now and september 1. you would think so. baez a veteran, he has had a pretty good year. 41 saves for tampa bay. that is about location. he threw a 0xñsinker the other day. just unbelievable who ran about six, eight inches. 96 miles per hour. that is what happens when you try to get on top of that. >> jim: a three up three down inning. brian roberts, adam jones and nick markakis orioles need a run coming up in the bottom of the ninth. taste like?

a miller lite. (announcer on call) ...he throws it across the field. he's got something! 30...40...50...he's got it! 40! he's got it! 20...10...he's got it! 5!...endzone! touch down! there are no flags on the field! it's a miracle! (announcer) that's what greatness tastes like. triple hops brewed. great pilsner taste. miller lite. taste greatness.

 >> >> jim: it is a do or die n inning for the birds as they try to take the first two out of three for the angels. let's go back to you. 8-7 birds coming up. let's look at the coors light the world's most refreshing beer. >> tells you about the angels. great. running by juan rivera. morales with a base hit. you can see chad moellerer trying to catch the ball a little bit to the foul line. i had to reach back and teleget an early run. one of three in the first inning. there you go. 19 to 20 saves on the road. 33 on the year. only four blown saves. orioles saw him last night.

starts closed. you don't see the ball very well. throws a lot of strikes. >> jim: the top of the lane up for the orioles, roberts, jones and nick markakis they have to come in and against the heart of the orioles lineup. one run save. he pitched so effectively all those years in denver, pitching for the rockies. brian roberts batting right handed. straik one. >> jim: with him, mike scioscia plays conventional baseball. doesn't play the line. a lot of times you'll guard the line with a one run lead, which i never thought made a lot of sense. there is another good breaking

ball. now moved back to third base. there is all kinds of room down the line. that is probably the way you should play, that is where you started the game, why would you change just because it is a one run ballgame? inside breaking ball. broke too much. >> jim: how many times have you seen guys get out of position and the guy hits a single and the next guy hits a two run homerun and they lose? >> hunter shading the other way. brian hits toward left center field. back it goes. that ball is bouncing into the bullpen for a double. he hit it against the defense. tying run at second, nobody down. >> jim: then if you throw a breaking ball, it is the third breaking ball fuentes throws to

roberts. look where it end up. right in the middle of the plate. 45th double, two run homerun, ground rule double into the bullpen. there is your tying run. one of those afternoons. boy, a lot of hittable pitches these hitters on both teams and are taking advantage of it. 23 hits now in this game. so roberts picks up his 45th double leading the league in that. he is two for five on the day now 39 multi-hit games. here's adam jones, repping the winning run. looked like he was trying to end it there and he swung through it 0-1. he will hit one or he could hit one but it is not because he is trying to. see how he plays it. if he will try to hit the ball to the right side.

game will continue to tie it up. roberts had a huge jump and he is going to get it. napoli in his haste to try to make a throw and the ball popped up on him. it was also a breaking ball, which gave brian roberts an extra couple of steps. >> tremendous pressure on the angels defense. anytime you get a guy that can steal bases and he gets one of those running leaps, you can see it right there in the top of the pictures. he was lacking off to his left. there you go. angels move the infield in, try to cut off this potential tying run. 1-1 pitch. pop foul out of play. 1-2. jones on the day has grounded out. he has struck out. he has walked and scored. he was on base for the nick markakis homerun and grounded out the first base on a shot.

>> jim: trying to look at numbers and matchups. adam two for three. fuentes got him out last time. ended up the game flying out to right field. 1-2. high fly ball left field. did he get enough, back on it goes near the wall, it is caught by juan rivera. but this will tie the game. here's roberts to score and it is a brand new game in the ninth. adam jones just missed, but the stolen base gets the orioles the run. >> the double the stolen base and the sacrifice fly. on another breaking ball right here. the double comes on a curve ball. in the a bad one. down and in. boy i tell you off the bat, it looks like it has a chance.

and here's nick markakis hard hit ball, caught by morales at first base the rate is on and morales wins it. he just took a base hit away from nick markakis and two men down. back to back nights he has done that. >> he did it in the eighth inning last night after pinch hitting. again not playing the line. you play the line, jim, take away the double, which most managers do, that is a base hit into right field. but again you play conventional defense, had a terrific play by morales. >> jim: aubrey huff has not hit a ball out of the infield. aubrey has grounded out to second, grounded out to first twice. the pop foul to third. it was caught in the coaches's

box. i think if you are brian fuentes, as you look at the orioles closer jim johnson, you don't want to get hit with a fast ball in the middle of the plate here. breaking ball. they don't get the call. 3-0. even thousand now, i would not be surprised to see if aubrey huff would get the green light. there is a rookie on deck reimold. 3-0 the count. 3-1. looks like he was ready. aubrey is 3 for 17 on the homestand with one homerun. >> jim: that homerun to left center field. there is a winning run on, two

men down.   there is only one player le on the orioles bench and that is melvin more la. so melvin's going to come on to pinch run if the game doesn't end. >> you don't gain a lot of speed. a couple of years ago you would have. you would be down nobody. >> jim: save the bat just in case later on. here's reimold. orioles essentially excuse me, jim, used three moves in the eighth inning, because two pinch hitters and then izturis came out defensively for andino. >> the angel outfield in this situation playing the way they are supposed to. hunter played deep anyway. look how deep they are playing.

that is because you want to cut off any ball that might be a potential double. reimold doubled his last at bat. one for four on the day. he went too far. he was badly fooled by that witch, 1 and 2. it was not what he was looking for. so one and two on reimold, the winning run at first on two down. he got them. back to back change ups. but the orioles get this game even blown saved for brian fuentes. adam jones nearly hit it out. we are headed to extras at camden yards. if you're like a lot of people,

you are right. terry crowley, he is happy. thes orioles hitting instructor. pitching coach is a little glum. it is about the bullpens. >> jim: johnson is the fifth pitcher used by the orioles. the angels have also used five pitchers. napoli, kendrick and figure figgins, fast ball outside. one and on napoli whose hit was on the day. but he does have a run on a sac fly on a ball that nearly left the ballpark for a grand slam. terrific play by adam jones. ball two. johnson got in the game last

night. he had a very efficient three up three down ninth inning on three ground ball outs. he got guerrero, and kendrick on three ground balls. napoli 2-1. >> jim: last year napoli with 20 at bats, 20 home runs, once every 11. 1 times for the plate. >> the angels have gone three up three down in three of their at bats. two by guthrie, and danny baez had a three up three confinement the orioles in this game have gone three up three down twice in the first inning and in the seventh inning. >> there is a strike out of napoli. jim johnson came back to get one
