makes them count. 3 have left the yard. 2-1 pitch. he has walked one back in the second. looks like he thought about it, then gave him the call. well-played fast ball. ups pitch right here. we'll take it.

>> lobbiest works again. 3-2. 3-1. not the worst type top throw a fastball that we talked about. you have to believe that the hitters are going to get themselves out both times. you can't always think i'm going to get every guy out. sometimes let them get themselves out . marlins had a 3- game losing streak. 5-6 here at home. baker hacks one out of play, left side corner. nationals, i

don't know how to react to this one, 6-4 on the road. how good does that field feel? 5-5 against the east. he made him earn his game aboard with one out on the fourth. wrap up this series tomorrow, 1:00, josh johnson and john that will be a good matchup. braves come in and leave on on tuesday, tommy on wednesday and scott against hudson on thursday. >> tommy looked fantastic last night. great breaking ball as we know. 95 as we know heater. fete a

little hitting braves radio going to win . no balls two strikes. here's another could want. do you think he's thinking about that 0-2 pitch? you're not only intimidating the guy you're pitching it, it 0 spreads a seed of thought throughout the dugout as well. he goes for the kill there and

misses. sanchez next in the fourth. look at that swing. right field line. into the corner. got to retrieve it. baker being sent. triple by ross. that's what happens he didn't do anything about going inside after going 0-2. you can only throw some

fast balls. well-placed fast ball under the chin or right at the hips left side is a little bit further back. sanchez takes a big swing. fouls tips. give cody a lot of credit too. as you can when you have no fear, they are going it give him a double and third on the flow. triple. triple on that but who cares. that's their official score. change it to a triple.

that pitch wasn't much different than the one dan had no chance of reaching. he had been moving off the plate the previous pitch. marlins quickly have five hits again. when he does give up the contact, two games to baker, caution on the water a good changeup and slider and curve ball. once again you can't stick to this game plan. sometimes you have to deaf yet and say i've had enough of you. it's not a i keep saying you don't give him so much respect be you've giving him so much respect. morgan grabs another within that's not good base running. now the throw gets away.

they are going to score unless the tag is made. he had to throw the ball right at somebody. let's hope he's injured. that's going to be an error after a very good catch. >> it's a great catch. he's on the run. tries to make a throw to the plate. goes to the back stop. watch his leg. looks like it hits him in the chest. maybe just knocked the wind out of him. gets that lig up. did get him until the thigh. watch the stake spike coaching in. thing that hurts about that

play. he many come down the marine e- line, had been surprised he caught the ball, he was not tagging, and only came home when it started nagging around the back stop. that's a brutal throw that might have got your starting catcher hurt. now you got a guy getting mississippi knee jammed at home plate that didn't need to be done. >> if he throws the ball, the runner is still sitting at third and the pitcher is coming up. costlier or, marlins lead 2-1. particular see he's in no man's land, now the throw has to be caught by somebody, but he misses home plate by 20 to 235 immediate feet. here comes the runner and

evidently he's okay. nats making 2 errors tonight, that one costing them a run. he'll walk it off a bit. >> here's ross, playing hard baseball as the billion is thrown to the back stop. looks like his right knee went knee to knee. watch it underneath ross the other knee goes knee to knee. ross' shin he's hurt too. >> really sloppy play starting the movant of may off for the

nationals. two errors plus the ball. ball that went by christian. >> just to make sure he had indeed gone back and touched third base. you can see he's not pleased. that will be really hurt. cody ross 0-# and triples . 1-1

to the pitcher who singled his first time up. ranges up the middle, plenty of time to make that flu, well done. two in the fourth, 3-1, florida.

relationship between rodriquez and him is outrageous. the key has been to keep the lines of communication open. i told him since day one. anything, whatever you need to tell me, feel free, come and talk to me. and that's good. you know, always it's good to have a relationship with him like that. to help the team. that's the most important thing. >> he told me too he really appreciates his desire to win of the he's impressed especially at home he goes out and does his fair share of fundament tags. >> many, many years much girls, and he's going to rob him of a

hit of the first pitch. marlins have all the momentum of the inning right now. >> ball hit very hard, but i told you he's got good mechanics and gets himself in situations where he could help his attempt. here you see the sot, disposition much those long arms. 45 inches long, good win span. >> it's a play that didn't need happen, you know, all the way around. he had to diver for the ball and come back ennobling ross off the plane plate. well play after the catch was bad. got the play under control. >> pulled the ball on the

ground the first time. he left handed this year is 9- 46. he's hitting under.# hushing from the left side of the plate. and that is totally not like him him. .196. next up bernadina needs to let it fly here. 1 for 8 in four games. they are going to give him an extended look. in this series kennedy and him will get lots of at bats because they were throwing

three right has beeners. we've said that he likes the # hole. >> anywhere else and he told me this once that if you bat him anywhere but the two hole he's a different hitter. that's exactly what he said. if you bat him somewhere else, we're stupid. certain guys don't reich to see it or be put down the bottom of the order. he sames to be app guy that flourishes in the two hole, but he's got so many different guys to help the ball club win. he's get to suck it up and try

to do the job wherever he's hid ere hitting. jim put him in the three hole opening to do something. roger gone. he has the nats befuddled. only two hits and a run in five innings. achievement unleashes hidden potential. ♪ all right! achievement looks forward to dinner at home. achievement enjoys newfound freedom. i love you.
