carroll not wanting to trub in because it looked like carroll had such a big jump he might have got into an rbi single for bonifacio and it's 7-0. >> buck: he just slaps this ball the opposite way and right at nolan reimold. plays ton one hop and boe porter stops the second un-- bo porter stops the second run. he's scored twice tonight. >> jim: here is hanley ramirez with the bases loaded. slider swings through it. looking for a fastball and he didn't get it. >> buck: he's already hit one grand slam in this series. he has two on the season. this grand slam came on friday night against baez wease -- danys baez in that five-run seventh inning. >> jim: high fly ball, left field. did he get enough? reimold back on it. it is gone. another grand slam for hanley ramirez. a high fly ball that kept on going. he has a five rbi game and the marlins are laying it on. >> buck: watch the location of this pitch. it's up out over the plate. not a good pitch. not a good location. looked like a hanging splitter. he didn't get on top of it. he certainly left it in a very dangerous part of the strike zone

carroll, 10th-round nick 2004 now in his third season. last year, he had a right shoulder sprain which really hindered his ability to play. there's a two-out walk, so down to -- counsel -- down to first base goes brett carroll with two men downment here is a way to save on orioles tickets to the next game. by the flex pack and save on tickets to four upcoming games of your choice including a prime game plus for a limited time purchase two seats. you'll receive an autographed photo of nolan reimold and if you purchase four seats, you'll also get an autographed pitcher of matt wieters. details, 888-848-bird or on- line at orioles.com. here is the pitcher sean west. there's a strike. of course, you can get out of it by getting the pitcher. if you're rich hill, you really wanted to get brett carroll so west would lead off next inning. fouled. looked like he got a piece of wieters. it's 0-2. >> buck: well, sean west doesn't have any hits. he's 0-6. you can see how he swings the bat and how big he is that if he ever squares up on it, i don't kn

carroll came on defensively and he is in hermida's spot, i think.hey could have put the pitcher in there, although that spot coming up before the pitcher, so it is likely that carroll is in the number five spot in the lineup. there is fred drink gonzales on the other side. >> buck: freddy still has amezaga, de aza and paulino, three players on their bench. >> jim: so andrew miller who watched his team score five in the bottom of the seventh to watch his team have the 6-1 lead now pitches for a no decision. he misses the chance for a win. just missed outside. >> buck: i can bet you when andrew miller left the ballgame, everyone on the ballgame said okay, we're in the bullpen now, let's do something, and, boy, did they ever. just one hit. >> jim: there is a bunt attempt and it is foul. >> buck: i misspoke. amezaga is not active. he is on the disabled list now. >> jim: so that leave as righty, paulino, and the lefty de aza. two pinch hitters and a defensive replacement, and all dave trembley has left on his bench are pitchers. it is not likely to get u

brett carroll, the right fielder, takes one in the dirt. the difference in the division you play in is huge. marlins are one above .500, two games out of first place. they're in third place in the east. phillies have a game and a half lead on the mets and two on the marlins. there's a base hit up the middle by brett carroll. the braves are three below .500. they are only four games out of first place. >> buck: yeah, they are taking it on the chin tonight. yankees are out in front 8-3 after just 3 1/2 innings in atlanta. marlins will go to tampa bay to finish out interleague play this year. josh johnson opens up the series in st. petersburg. >> jim: jeremy hermida pinch- hitting for the pitcher sean west. slice it is to left. reimold back on it. he has it for the out. two men down. hermida going after the first pitch. carroll back to first base and back to the top of the lineup for chris coghlan. >> buck: coghlan doubled in his second at-bat sandwiched by two strikeouts. struck out on the first on a breaking ball and struck out in the fourth

he was thrown out easily bring brett carroll.ll to right field, carroll is there and has a play. roberts retired him. one down. brian has one hit tonight and it came in his first at-bat in the first inning. badenhop gets the all-important first out and now nick markakis will bat. nick has an rbi with a zach fly. he has also walked. -- sac fly. he has also walked. fastball is outside, 1-0. the marlins' pitchers have walked five in this game. and amazingly enough, none of the walks have factored in the scoring. 2-0 to markakis, swung on and missed. >> buck: the fastball down around the knees and nick swung right through it. badenhop, he's got the opportunity to pitch out here a few innings. he has pitched as many as five innings in relief this year. >> jim: there is a hard hit ball to right field and a was hit for markakisment yet again the orioles get the go-ahead run on in extra innings. this time with one down on a single by markakis in his first hit of the night. >> buck: he had a sac fly for the first run of the ballgame. he s

carroll was convicted. the evidence was grotesque -- two detectives who appeared on the stand to testify that they could tell from his body language that he was guilty. what was the body language these two detectives knew? well, he held his legs like this, and he moved forward. it meant he was looking at the door. all of this -- all of this impressed the jury in upstate new york. the same prosecutor's witness that testified in the '80s to the kelly michaels case, her theory being that, as a child says, no, no, no, nothing ever happened, was the absolute proof that something did happen. and the jurors bought that. she was here to say that roughly in the same way again. how is it, you could ask, that prosecutors could pick for their expert witnesses so discredited an expert as this particular one. eileen tracy (ph) was her name. she had been denounced regularly. people wanted nothing to do with her. because prosecutors want to win. they call one another up, and they say, hey, i need an expert witness. call tr

right-field line, brett carroll with the long run. right at the bullpen barrier for the second out. willie harris still looking for contact. >> rob: 377 home runs, 1518 rbi's, lifetime .290 hitter, .356 on-base percentage over 17 years. won mvp back in 2000. he was special. eight times drove in over 100 runs. >> bob: and those were the numbers, the rbi numbers that evoked comparisons to the great raja as they called him, rogers hornsby. willie harris, two swinging strikeouts tonight. later debbi taylor will tell us about some nationals minor leaguers who have garnered some honors this week. good to know when your minor league guys are the best in their leagues at what they do for a certain period of time. the top three in the order, 0 for 6 tonight. that's high strike. >> bob: now, yesterday in baltimore, jim joyce didn't call a pitch like that a strike all day. so tonight you have a different umpire who is calling the high strike. he tries to stay up there, but he's too high. the nationals first five hitters, 1 for 10 with the zimmer

carroll at the wall. he has it for the out. reimold hutt hustling to get back to first base.o, wieters just missed -- ses it t the opsite way and plong fly ball out and two down. >> buck: now, that's a big, powerful swing from the right side. we've seen him hit power to the opposite field as a left-handed hitter. now he shows an awful lot of power. this ball is out over the plate and he really drives it. got underkneed neat it. good extension through the zone and drives it through the wall. brett carroll is an outstanding defender in right field made a catch on the warning track and he's got one of the best arms in baseball so reimold has to hurry back to first. >> jim: two down. here is robert andino playing again at shortstop. reimold now at first with two down. there's a strike with a fastball. the left-handed batter 7-20 against west. that's a .350 batting average. most managers seem to stack their lineups as dave trembley did tonight with right-handed batters against west. he held righties to a .190. >> buck: the lefties that stay in the lineup against west are the be

double by carroll. nolasco sacrifice bunt, coghlan singles to right field, carroll scores. then after bonifacio triples to deep center field, ball that willie almost ran down, hanley ramirez hitting .333 coming into this game. one of the best players in all of baseball singles up the middle. nolasco k'd, replay here on the pitch track as he gets a slider down and in to ramirez, cantu chases. seven strikeouts on the night. couldn't pitch much better. glad to have you back and glad that he's healthy. >> take a look at olsen's numbers tonight. gives up six hits, two of the runs were earned. didn't walk anybody. that's amazing for a guy that's been out of the rotation for more than a month. he strikes out seven. five ground outs, eight fly outs, 94 pitches, 66 strikes and 28 balls. >> that is great command. i always look for 70% on the top side strikes. that's a little over 70% there. he just threw his breaking ball very effectively around the plate, his change-up was good. he just pitched, the way we remembered him pitching. as i think bob said, this is a guy that we acquired.

carroll, nolasco and coughlin for the marlins here in the third. ribs that one to left center.ood speed. willie harris to get it back in. lead-off double, the second hit against olsen. that will give ricky nolasco who has four sacrifice bunts a chance to move the runner over. >> rob: with the pitcher on deck, you throw him a fastball a little bit up in the zone hoping this kid who doesn't really have a lot of home run potential, he slashes it into the gap for a double. take your out right here. >> bob: you're up two, don't do something cute and walk this guy. >> rob: you throw this guy not too many fastballs down the heart of the plate, but make sure you take your out here. >> bob: he short hops it. olsen drops it. plenty of tie. plenty of tie. on to ú$uñl sacrrr >> bob: txi0-year-old coln may. coghlan dreams, the guy ends up committing suicide. the name of the bar was going to be coghlan's dream. >> bob: this guy realized his. >> robs. >> bob: startethe season at o, foul ball, and zimmerman couldn't get it. that would have been interesting. because the r

here is brett carroll leading off and he'll get -- hill gets ahead 0-1. florida with two in the second, three in the third and a 5-0 lead. fastball is high. 1-1. carroll starting in right field tonight to get an extra right-handed bat in there. he walked his first at-bat. high pop-up. mora battling the twilight. he finds it and he has it for the out. one down. this is a tough time of night because the lights just beginning to take the full effect on the field, but overhead it's twilight. amber? >> well, jim, i talked to melvin mora about playing in this stadium. remember, he had that error in his first game on that bouncing ground ball. if you look up at the lights behind the marlins dugout right behind the plate on the right side of the lights, they are extremely light compared to the rest of the lights. that's what's been throwing melvin mora off. it's very difficult to play in this stadium that was designed for a football game. disblim. >> jim: and you throw in the time of day it is, and you -- and you see the sky is not yet totally dark, so it's a dou

there's brett carroll in right field. he takes over for hermida. here is dan meyer who is looking for his first professional save. majors or minors. >> buck: yep, he has not had a save and obviously been on the d. l. fredi gonzalez the manager of the marlins says he's going to use a combination of guess to close out games. right now, he's called upon dan meyer. meyer worked in the game last night. came in the ballgame in the eighth inning with a man aboard. gave up a base hit to the pinch- hitter oscar salazar, then got brian roberts to hit into a 5-4- 3 double play and struck out nick markakis. >> jim: meyer has finished three games on the year, but they were nonsave situations. if you're going to get a guy in there for his first professional save attempt, having a three-run lead is a good way to do it. the orioles do it in back-to- back games coming about a with three in the ninth inning. ball two. melvin a good night at the plate. a couple of hits and an -- and an rbi. now hit in a couple of straight games. 4-11 last. there's a strike. melvin ta

. >> bob: not that you want to see this happen, but if carroll gets aboard, that should probably take nolasco out of the game. he's due to bat neck. >> rob: no, you want to finish it off here. finish it off, get this guy, and it will be a wonderful night in return for scott olsen. >> bob: nolasco is in the on deck circle. >> rob: i doubt seriously nolasco will walk anywhere near the plate. he may be laboring a little bit now. it looks like he's rushing to try to get it up there to home. >> bob: the marlins, by the way, he's going to do some long tossing from the back of the mound. he had to get his teammate out of the way. wes helms is their only right- handed batter. and ball it right center. that will be an out for willie harris. seven outstanding innings by scott olsen. úú 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

brett carroll for the second out. it will be lefty-lefty now with meyer and adam dunn. probably a thousand people in the ballpark, the marlins are last in baseball in attendance. they don't turn out here to see one of the more entertaining teams at times. there is in the national league. >> rob: they are a very young and talented group of kids. it's just sad. there's less than 500 people at this game. >> bob: it makes you wonder if a new stadium down here would make any difference. >> rob: i think if you put it downtown, put a roof on it, people would come. >> bob: adam dunn fouls one off. and the marlins are two strikes away from their 7th consecutive win this year over the nats. their 8th in a row in this ballpark overall. the nationals against the east this year, 6-27. and that guy's ball club a big reason for it. breaking ball way outside. you'd love to see willingham get a chance here in the ninth. he wouldn't be facing this pitcher.   >> bob: dunn drills one under the glove of uggla. nick johnson heading for third base. the natio

pete carroll has never been linked directly to the ceilings that's the big difference here with the allegationsected at tim floyd. >> andy, as far as the timing is going down, the ncaa -- do you get the sense that there's a possibility that because o steven fstrays, stephen strasburg, dustin ackley, ackley, donovan take it, donovan take it, jorge sanchez, wh are involved, the ncaa waited to see what was going to happen with that case at baylor. then they went in after the fact with their ncaa investigation and their allegations, that's because they can get more information through the federal authorities because these people are under oath. and they're not when they go in front of the nba. so that is one think i was told, the ncaa was waiting to see what would happen as they're working on the investigation. a little different than these other cases where they speed up the process a little more because it's just the ncaa. the interesting thing is what will happen next at usc. from what i have been told in the last couple hours, a lot of people would be very surprised in the college basketball co

this little flair to right field will be caught by carroll.rst 20,000 fans receive mini usa flags. then sunday, family fun day. the kids run the bases after the game. or stop by the nationals park box office for tickets. here's anderson hernandez. offered bunt, he was tumbling out of the batter's box. >> rob: once again, when you look at nolasco's overall numbers career-wise, but 464 hits and 443 innings, i still think it's because he's goofing around with five, six, seven pitches instead of sticking to three, going through the line- up three, four times and trying to just get some w's for his ball club. >> bob: he has not walked a batter. struck out six. he has hernandez 0-2. >> rob: he's got great command. 110 walks in that 442 innings versus 358 strikeouts. >> bob: in his last three starts he has struck out 27 batters and walked just two. >> rob: very nice back door slider right there but about a foot outside. >> bob: that's similar to the pitch in the first inning that took hernandez bat apart. >> rob: batting average against .302, 18 walk

in the waning days of joe tidings losing campaign we were in the carroll arms hotel on capitol hill. no tv cameras came but steny was standi standing alone in the back. when i asked him why he was there, he simply said i was with joe tydings at the beginning and i will be with joe tydings at the very end. i have never forgotten that lesson and i hope i never will. my friend joe lieberman was here and i was had hartford the night that he lost his primary because i wanted to be with him because he was my friend and he's given so much to this country and, thank god, he was able to win that election and come back to t the u.s. senate. but i learned that lesson from steny hoyer. those who know me best know that i'm not one to shy away from a fig fight. ginger says i'm downright combative. lord knows i'm a democrat. i have never voted for a republican in my life and i probably never will. but i'm disgusted with the polarization and incivility that has come to define our politics and i deeply believe that the daunting challenges that president obama faces and america faces today require a t

brett carroll has come on in the game in right field with jeremy hermida, he is no longer in the gamee is the closer, matt lindstrom on to try to earn the save. >> buck: matt lindstrom picked up his second win of the season back on june 9th against the cardinals and he also had a win against the mets way back back in april. a big arm. the control sometimes a concern. 20 walks, 26 strikeouts, but he has a powerful arm. he throws a fastball, a slider and occasionally will yous a changeup. it is is not very often. it is all about hard and harder for matt lindstrom. >> jim: adam jones leads off. he takes a high fastball. he has pretty good giddyup on that pitch. lindstrom's e.r.a. for a closer, buck, quite high for a closer at 5.72. the orioles need to get two men on to get the tying run to the plate. >> buck: that will work. >> buck: lindstrom has been hit around by right-handers. they have hit .314 against him. >> jim: 1-1 the count. the fastball. lindstrom has really struggled here at home. his e.r.a. at home is 9.37. his e.r.a. on the road, 0.75. asaddam just swung on a pitch outside

cantu will be at first and uggla at second base, ross will be in center field, robs catching, brett carroll will be in right field, and ricky nolasco who has had major success against the nationals, he'll be on the mound tonight. ramirez the guy you've got to keep off the bases. i think you just mentioned, pitch around him. don't even pitch to this guy. >> you've got to pitch one guy tough in the line-up and he's good night that when you look at all the charts, he's just hammered us with 37 rbi's, 15 home runs, steals bases. so you can afford to, with two outs, pitch him tough, let him get on. i'd much rather have a guy on second base with two outs or have him on second base with nobody out. he's a guy i would pick in the line-up not to let beat me, because he's done it so many times. >> debbi taylor moments ago reporting about the rain falling down in florida. and this game may or may not get under way at 7:00. 8:00 now they have projected the starting time tonight. 8:00 for the first pitch in south florida. that means another additional hour scott olsen has to wait for his return to the m

. >> rob: we got a good scouting report on carroll that he's an excellent right fielder. >> bob: first pitch of the ballgame is at 7:47, a delay of 47 minutes because of the rain. right now it's about 16 degrees cooler than it was during the day. it was in the low 90s and sizzling today. rain and 76 degrees at rain time, we might have more rain as the evening goes on. willie harris has his on base percentage up. he's hit safely in seven of his last nine games. he misses that pitch. willie is 12 for his last 35. >> rob: the more he plays, the better he hits. just the confidence factor. >> bob: nolasco severely jams him and he fouls it. easy pick for grissom. nationals start tonight 7th in the league in hitting, they're 10th in runs and homers. hard breaking ball down and in, strikes out willie harris. willie fanning for the 26th time this year. >> rob: he gets ahead of him, then he's going to drop this 12 to 6 breaking ball on him. get the rotation to go from about the knees down to the ground. hard to lay off that pitch. >> bob: next up, cristian guzman coming off a rare 0 for 5 yester
