and oakland just teing off on jeremy guthrie.gles and a homer here in the 1st inning and still nobody out. >> buck: this is realy a tough spot for the orioles giving the fact that they have scored so few runs on this trip. and dave trembley obviously concerned. kojikoji uehara might be returning to the rotation. >> gary: the early goings are tough for jeremy. once he gets past the early part of the game, he settles down but you can't give that many runs and hope that your team will come up and pick up the slack. runner at first base, nobody out. giambi is hitting the baseball. he has had homers in back-to- back games, american league f vp for the a he is, five-time all-star, three-time on base leader, bark with the ball club. down to first. that will be a foul ball. >> buck: went to new york as a free agent, signed a 7-year deal with the yankees with designs on playing in the world series. that never happened. he never really got it together there. they brought in sheffield, giambi, a lot of free agents but it never came together

if you're jeremy guthrie, thief they've got 19 runs last two games. hope you get some of those runs tonight. >> gary: up against a team that's hurting literally with a lot of injuries. maybe the right time to take on this club even though there are a couple in the lineup who are still red-hot. we'll be back. it's the mets-o's from camden next. and they're getting in the way of things i'd like to do. with the money bar, i can move my money around instantly, so when there's more bills than usual, it's no problem. and i use the wish list to put any extra money aside for anything i want. being in control of my money feels good. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high-definition, online view of your money. pnc. leading the way. >> gary: orioles baseball on masn is brought to you by southwest airlines. book your next trip at southwest.com. by acura, acura advance. and by corona and corona light. official sponsors of the time- out. relax responsibly. a cloudy night here at camden yards. the temperature 68 degrees to start. a wind that's swirling

you're going to see, and gregg zaun talks about it, that jeremy guthrie, he's 96 on the radar gun, but he doesn't command his fastball early on, because i think he comes out, he's all pumped up, adrenaline rushing and he's overthrowing early in the game. the numbers support that. >> rob: you can see right now he's not even picking up his target. he's just overthrowing, not picking up zaun, looking at the guy at second. >> jim p.: that's what really usually happens when you overthrow. you could see the numbers right there. a lot higher early on, because i think he just tries to maybe get a little bit more radar gun conscious. right there, a curveball, 2-1. >> jim h.: gregg zaun is going to go out and talk to guthrie. nowhere to put adam dunn. >> jim p.: at some point, we can look at the windup, it's pretty simple. again, this is a breaking ball so the head doesn't jerk as much, you have to trust your stuff. right here you have to throw the ball to the middle of the plate and hope it doesn't end there. you've been trying to make good pitches that are not going where he wants to. >> rob:

jeremy guthrie. guthrie was new to the rotation. guthrie went five innings and lost, braden wasn't six innings, one run allowed and he won the game. stay tuned, gary thorn and buck martinez will be there with the play-by-play. it's the orioles in oakland, game 1 of the three-game series. birds trying to get back at it. enjoy the game, everybody.

at far as jeremy guthrie tonight, what did you see? what happened? >> he didn't locate.some great swings on it. it just one right after the other. he was pitching right in the middle of the plate. >> buck: this offense has been struggling. this is a ball club that's hit all year long. they are facing tough pitchers but, at the same time, got away from their patient approach. >> yeah, it's been a little bit different tonight when they jumped on you like they d you were probably up there trying to get it all back at once which is not the right way to go. we'll regroup and play a much better game tomorrow. i'm confident of that. >> buck: that's the beauty about baseball. you get another game tonight. your ball club, you have had pretty good starts. you get a good start out of berken. >. >> i'm impressed with berken. he will get a good guile. andino has been playing well at shortstop with the exception of one play. start with the start can pitching, especially on the road. we have to get a good start out of berken tomorrow and loosen everybody up and come up there and swing

jeremy guthrie started. he gave up 6 runs, 7 hits in just 2/3 inning, the shortest outing of his career. oriole bullpen the other three runs charged to mark hendrickson came on a three-run homerun by matt holliday. mark hendrickson came on, 3 1/3 innings, gave up three runs. castillo came on last inning, hit a batter. gonzalez on for the starter braden. that pitch misses low. 2-2 on andino. braden get the win, he will improve the mark to 4-1 against the oriole, e.r.a. 1.33 against the o's, wouldn't be hurt. 2-2 delivery. grounded to second base. kennedy. 2 down. >> buck: you can certainly see by the start of braden tonight how the a's are encouraged by the young pitching. he is only 25 years old and already characterized as a leader of the staff. not only on the mound but his leadership skills, the way he works. here is brian roberts, it-for- 3, two singles. he will take a pitch inside for a ball. tampa bay-new york, the yankees never got started. rain on the east coast. red sox took a loss. texas almost shu

jeremy guthrie trying to battle through a tough inning. 2-1 delivery on the way. that will be fouled off the other way. guthrie coming off a loss in seattle. he went six innings. gave up four runs on six hits in that ballgame. the team has lost his last three starts that jeremy has been on the mound. two balls, two strike count. bases loaded delivery. murphy again fouls it away. >> jim: jeremy figuring where can i get him to pop-up or strike out. still 2-0. >> gary: get that double play. it will be a 3-0 game. here is the 2-2 to murphy. belts it to right field. markakis back. he's got it. runner tagging is wright. also moving over to third is church. it will be an rbi sac fly for murphy and a 3-0 lead for the mets. >> jim: think about daniel murphy's -- right there, ball one. close pitch just runs out of the strike zone. there's the 2-0 pitch. 2-2. 2-2. then he finally after seeing four straight fastballs, pretty good swing for the sacrifice fly. >> gary: and a big play to get church over as well from second to third. double play is still in order here with one awa

cora has gone 2-12 in his career off jeremy guthrie. two down, runner at second base. er. jones. mr. bobblehead's got it. no runs, no hits, no errors and one left on base. guthrie fine start through three innings. change it up a bit... and you're sure to get a reaction.

jim, jeremy guthrie pretty good in this game. he couldn't survive the one inning and it seemed like once that error was made, he was over the plate four hits in the inning and couldn't stop the bleed eeg couldn't. i think there's a tendency a lot of times either your catcher comes out and talks to you. we know matt wieters sinexperienced. he's not going to do that. probably something deal as he gets more maturity and more experience in the big leagues. a lot of times what you got to do is step off the mound. what i noticed is if you can look at jeremy guthrie's face, he's starting to grit his teeth. again, he was very good tonight. he probably had his best slider early on in the game. in the fourth inning, leadoff walk. makes good pitch. there's going to be a 4-6-3 double play. all of a sudden, the a series of bad pitches. hanging slider to wright. high fastball to church. hang slider to sheffield. you can see every ball up in the middle of the plate. right here after trying to get murphy out trying to strike him out, he threw hi

that's the way jeremy guthrie works.d any kind of a consistency to the way he delivers the ball. during the course of a game, i think it really weighs heavily. it's like a hitter that goes up there and says to himself, i have to raise my hands a little bit taller. i've got to stride a little sooner. i have to lean more on my backside. when you start thinking about those things when the ball on the its way, everything goes into slow motion. same thing with a pitcher. when you start thinking about all the mechanical things you want to try during the course of one single pitch, everything goes into slow motion. you hold the ball a little bit longer. you threat go a little bit sooner. you do a lot of different things. you do different things with your breaking ball. a lot of times the fastball and the curve ball ends up hanging. the fastball stays up. you get burned so many times. you almost get exhausted out there on the mound just thinking about it. >> so, think what i got out of that, jaimpl jeremy, don't think. >> just r

i jeremy guthrie got a rough start here in oakland. a business hate, and then down the order, they whacked him including the three- run homerun by jack cust and jeremy guthrie was knocked out after 2/3 inning and charged with six earned runs. >> gary: against a ball club that came in with an offense that is almost dead last in all the offensive categories. >> kurt suzuki, the catcher, will take the pitch for a strike. he had a double and scored. 6

that will be it for jeremy guthrie. top of the order, left-hander cora coming up. jeremy guthrie will come out of there working 6 1/3 inningssurrenders the six hits so far, four runs, three earned and castillo will come on to pitch. @@pp÷÷ >> gary: so, jeremy guthr will leave. there's the line to this point as he'll be responsible for the base runner on castillo. coming on to pitch, alberto castillo jurs just his fourth appearance. >> jim: yeah, his job it to get left-handed batters out. 1-5, he's only faced eight. 1-8 totally. came in the other night and the first left-hander he faced, he walked. >> gary: here is cora, the left- handed batter. the leadoff batter will take the pitch up high for a ball. runner at first, castillo. there is one away. castillo hitting .323 off left- handers. he's 20-62. while at the other end of it, he's on at first base, you we go cora -- get cora at the plate, .310 off left-handers. those are your eight and number nine and number one guys both of whom to with -- do well against the leftiies. >> jim: the reason

four base hits and a sacrifice fly off jeremy guthrie. thej then orioles trying to get back in the game in the fifth. mike pelfrey, pretty good breaking ball. looked like the orioles had a chance, but he strikes out brian roberts. >> gary: and church will lead it off here for the mets. ryan church has singled, brought in a run and scored. rbi's have gone to wright and church, murphy and brian schneider for the mets. that one to left field. reimold with a long run and it will end up in the seats in any event and a two strike count on ryan church. orioles-mets will be meeting for two more. tomorrow, it will be koji uehara, 2-4 against tim redding who is 0-2 for the mets. jason berken thursday night 1-3 against luis hernandez who is 5--- livan hernandez who is 5- 1. the three-game set and then the o's off to philadelphia for friday, saturday and sunday. big cut and i don't think he hit it. he's going to go to first. it will be a strikeout on church, but he'll reach first base. it is a pass ball that will allow him to get there. so, the leado

he was scored upon early and often by toronto sunday and jeremy guthrie, 5-7, trying to get that e.r.a. down. in fact, both of them over 5.00. >> jim: guthrie coming off a good start where he beat cole

jeremy guthrie scoring the tying run. and dave trembley did everything he possibly could to win this ballgame. >> you throw everything at them but the kitchen sink and that's what dave trembley did. he at least tied this ballgame and gave the club a chance to win. all of the players ready to do a good job. all of the pitchers are anxious to get their pinch hit. guthrie was the only one with hill. if the orioles hadn't made that one base-running mistake, they had a chance of winning this ballgame on that fly ball to left field, possibly scoring a run with a sacrafice fly. >> and koji uehara pitched a pretty good game until he was taken out there. >> he did. he has been struggling to get deep in ballgames. you can see him laboring through the hot water. -- weather. he is just not used that youd to that now. a pretty good job on the part of koji to get the ball club deep in that game. >> again, the orioles lose to the florida marlins 7-6 in the first of three in florida. and let's go back down to south florida to jim hunter

ramirez can't knock it down and how about jeremy guthrie after scott scores, he looks back and watchesgo first to third. >> jim: and here comes fredi gonzalez, and he is

>>> mets get the other jeremy guthrie took the loss. ut goes down defeat. into the orioles clubhouse we go for the oriole right-hander. >> pulled the ball very well. was limiting the pitches up in the zone. yeah, things were -- i felt like i was able to throw the ball and even innings after that got refocused and did much better. >> in your last start -- you had said in your last start a couple days you felt you were in a funk feeling out of whack. did you feel that was pass you? >> absolutely. ball coming out of my hands. made adjustments on the slider. felt that was a better pitch with the exception of the one to sheffield left up in the zone. it was coming out much, much better. fastball overall was ex coups cuted very well for me tonight as well. >> so, guthrie takes the loss. he goes 6 1/3, middle game of a three-game series tomorrow. here is the pitching matchup. >> koji uehara looking for a better effort than his last one against the mariners. he gave up four runs on seven hits. he'll be looking for his third win of the season. ag

single, double, rbi. >> jim: the rbi single went right through the legs of jeremy guthrie.t was the fourth run in that four-run fourth inning. >> gary: schneider, brian roberts will have plenty of time and gets the out. 

guzman singled, then jeremy guthrie walked in a couple of runs. >> jim h.: breaking ball outside. >> rob: i always felt when you get a guy like harris who can steal bases six out of seven, you really have to play him away and pitch him that way. it's all right to throw breaking balls when you're 0-2. >> jim h.: he'll go to the bag unassisted. that ball was plastered by aubrey huff and he was able to get it in the heal of the glove. one away. salazar takes mora's place. outfield, reimold, jones, markakis. very good outfield for the orioles. thing about the orioles defense last night, they win 6-3, but they did turn four double plays. you will not have the same guys out there that were able to do that for you last night. there's a change-up. he's got a pretty good breaking ball. i asked gregg zaun who caught him, he said fastball, good velocity, very deceptive sometimes. it's straight. but it's a good breaking ball. he threw his change-up a lot. >> jim h.: line drive, that is slicing foul down the left- field line. >> rob: it's funny to hear you say you turned four double plays. from m

jeremy guthrie worked only two innings last night. he talked about his performance last night. >> the exception was the pitch to davis. that was a slider still up and he was able to reach out and poke it into the right field. none of the pitches were executed tremendously and i paid the price for it. >> real hot team you're facing? >> i don't know one way or another they were hot. i made them hot if they weren't already. they swung the bats very well tonight. they hit the ball really hard. even the outs were hit hard. they swung the bat well against me tonight. >> hard to tell the night before but you don't anticipating missing any starts with this do you? >> i do not. hopefully wake up and continue to gradually disappear for the next start. >> amber reported his wrist is fine. he took a line shot back off his wrist. two-thirds of an inning, seven hits, six runs, no walks, no strikeouts. that's a three run home run to jack cust. is guthrie trying to overthrow his fastball? >> sometimes i think that hits the nail right on the head. he

brian mat soon to break the heart of the phillies' fans, sunday, back to the starting pitching, jeremy guthrie matched up very good against cole hamels and beat him 2-1. every aspect of this team's play has been very good over this five-game win streak. they have outscored their opponents by 10 runs. they have outhit them. they're batting .324 as a team. they're pitching to a .320 e.r.a. and every single thing they have done really makes them understand how you play the game to win. defense has been exceptional. pitching has set the tone, and the hitters have had timely hitting. >> jim: the orioles have won five in a row. they have trailed at some point in each of the five games. how do you win the game ? it starts with the starting pitching and ends with the bullpen. the bullpen has been lights out. >> buck: they sure have. the bullpen has been rested f. because of that, everyone has pitched very well. george sherrill has pitched phenomenal. matt albers has been exceptional. brian bass has been their long man and even hendrickson has picked autopsy win. a 1.29'ear. we mentioned wins for bass,

shairon martis will go for the nats, and jeremy guthrie will go for the orioles. >> guthrie's a guy that i love. he's 17-17 in his career in the big leagues, but good fastball, 93, 94, a nice slider. he comes at you. >> has his fourth start against the nationals tonight for guthrie. he's tied with brad bergesen for most wins on that orioles staff. they have five. >> thanks for joining us, everybody. wil nieves getting loose in the cage. he's going to try to crack into that line-up tonight if needed. for ray knight, i'm johnny holliday, thanks for joining us. nats baseball coming up next. frost-brewed coors light. ♪ how cold is it? it's chilled down to 34 degrees... for a taste as cold as the rockies. it's aged cold. it's filtered cold. and it's served in cans, bottles, and glasses... that tell you when it's cold. why? because refreshment isn't everything. it's the only thing. frost-brewed coors light. the world's most refreshing beer. from that first dollar forward, cash flow isn't just an important thing to small business. it's everything. that's why pnc is introducing your new cfo, cas

that's his 9th of the season off jeremy guthrie part of a 6- run 1st inning.liday in the 5 off of mark hendrickson. on the mound, all dallas braden. he has tied his career high with 7 strikeouts here tonight. great combination of fastballs, change-ups and breaking balls to really shut down the orioles offensively. >> gary: he has done that. no runs, 4 hits, no errors for the 0's. 9-10-1 for oakland. >. aubrey huff will lead it off for the o's. he has a couple of homeruns here. pitch taken for a strike. braden dealing. he has not given the orioles hitters many fat pitches to go after. he has been on 0 the corners and has kept the ball down. here is the 2-1 delivery. that will be fouled off. bobby crosby there at first base, came on as a defensive replacement. giambi out of the ballgame and crosby getting a chance at first. and in the bullpen. braden working here notice 72nd inning, a 4-hit shutout. 2 balls, 2 strikes count to huff. popped him up. behind the mound. cabrera the shortstop and one away. one down notice 7th. on try day, one of the most popular oriol

adam jones trying to keep it into the ballpark for jeremy guthrie but cust ends up with list 9th homerun, 3 rbied on the night giving him 31 for the season. >> gary: on the season, only .172 over the last13 ball games. you can see right there he is trying to loosen his lower back. he starts to reach for it and started to kick a little and trying to swivel a little bit. the lower back is a constant problem for him. he really comes to the ballpark every day and they have to ask, can you play? here is the 1-1 delivery, just misses inside i i he said that his back has been better than the last couple of days. and that has paid off big dividends. >> gary: first base kennedy and the 2-1 delivery and that will miss and the count will go to 3-1. cust, .238 off the lefties, has one homerun off a south paw this year. runner not going, breaking ball, walks him. so after retiring 10 in a row coming into the in, the first two here in the fifth are on with a sing and a walk. and tonight's leaderboard presented by firestone, a tradition of innovation. >> buck: the highest career average among active pl

top of the sixth, one on, one out, that is gone off jeremy guthrie. lopez's second home run of the game, his eighth of the year, and the mariners win it by a score of 4-1. lopez's third home run in the last three games. the ms have suddenly won five of their last seven, ichiro with a personal 14-game hitting streak against the baltimore orioles. royals and indians in cleveland, gil meche, 4-9 in his career against the tribe, but meche looking good, shin-soo choo, nope, next batter, mark derosa. nope. he's looking. meche 11 ks in seven innings of work. alberto callaspo bases loaded off carl pavano, that is his third of the season, his first since may 5th, and first career grand slam, guillen 2 for 3, he also had a home run as well for meche the 11 ks set a career high. let's check in on the tampa bay rays over the angels, 9-5, pena solo shot, his 18th home run of the year, aybar has added an rbi single and a home run of his own as well. >> meanwhile the phillies and the mets, they're in the bottom of the eighth, and still tied at four. cole hamels tryi

yesterday jeremy guthrie four consecutive hits right off the bat and everybody hit the ball hard. seven hits his first time through. you've got to do something. if you're not changing speeds you can't throw them off balance because they're being too aggressive they're going to go hit any pitch you throw there if you continue to settle in in the batter's box. you don't have to hit batters, throw in off the plate, move their feet. these are things you don't see. they just sit out there and keep throwing the ball in there and the a's keep swinging the bat hard. seven doubles tonight. somebody's got to go down some place. somebody has to move them off the plate. somebody make an impact on the line up other than just getting the ball down the middle of the plate. >> luke scott continues to hit the home runs. look back at the last 12 home runs hit by the orioles half a dozen by each. reimold coming up from the big leagues three run shot tonight. now batting clean up last 13 hits, look at reimold he has 15 hits since coming to the big leagues and six have been home runs with 12 rbis. wha

. >> you have to say jeremy guthrie did a good job for four innings, then the hitting came late, but hat time the defense did not supported jeremy enough to really hold up enough for him. i thought we were going to get a real good effort after him, but he gave up four hits, and that pretty much did him in for the night. they scored four runs. >> let's look back on the game highlights. it's a scoreless game after a lead-off walk. here is beltran, double play ball to brian roberts, but he boots it. >> you don't see this happen very often. every now and then when you're trying to turn that double play, you take your eye off the ball just a hair too soon. >> so the next batter with two on and none out, david wright, he delivers a base hit to left field. >> he comes in and he shows a pretty good swing right here. good low fastball. this is what puts the first run on the board for the mets. >> mets went on to score four runs in that fourth inning, so it's 4-0 new york. here's nick markakis, breaks the long home run drought. >> 22 games without a home run. he gets ahold of this one. full ext

it will be shairon martis against jeremy guthrie tomorrow that is game two in the three- game series.overage at 6:30 with "o's xtra" presented by at&t on masn hd. "nats xtra" presented by verizon wireless on masn two. for john carp -- bob carp per, jim hunter saying so long from camden yards. the orioles win 11-1. have a great night, everybody. we'll see you tomorrow! >> hi, everybody. time for nats' extra postgame here brought to you by the verizon fios. let's close the door on this one quickly, forget about it and think about tomorrow's game coming up tomorrow night. this was ugly. >> it was ugly, johnny. you're going to have 10, 12 a year. detwiler actually tale threw the ball well early. they got one run and then all thins just broke loose and the offense was just hitting on all cylinders. they didn't hit the ball extremely hard. it wasn't the long ball. it was just the contact. detwiler when he he did make a mistake, a couple of choppers, deflected balls. it doesn't make any difference. you can't take it away from them. they pounded out, what, 16 hit ? >> 16 hits, and it is the f

jeremy guthrie struggled through it. but you have to look at the way rich hill started this game today. i thought he was all -- everything was out of whack. he was using the fastball more, did not establish his curveball early in the game and so goats to this counts. you'll see right here. here you got to go back to the curveball because you got two men on base. and for me, the inning is on the line. he goes back to the fastball, can't find the strike zone, and he ends up walking hall-- holliday. and now he starts pressing to throw the ball over the plate and now laying the fastball in there and was lucky that he didn't give up more than one inning. he hit a batter and walked four guys in the first inning and it wasn't like any game that he's thrown for us so far this season. all out of whack. early if the game, you have to establish the curveball because that's what sets up the fastball. seven strikeouts the last time up because he got the curveball up over the plate. you have to know going in, you have to get the curve

he was scored upon early and often by toronto sunday and jeremy guthrie, 5-7, trying to get that e.r.ain fact, both of them over 5.00. >> jim: guthrie coming off a good start where he beat cole hamels 2-1, the orioles sweeping the last weekend series up in philadelphia. >> bob: here is josh bard swiping a great bat an

.  >> bob: jeremy guthrie, 95 pitches, 58 strikes. he could now be the winning pitcher. he leaves as the pitcher of record, as brian bass replaces him with dunn, willingham and bard coming up top 6. >> jim p.: bass has got four pitches, he's got a change-up, curveball, slider, and a pretty good sinker. i tell you what, would you have predicted that guthrie would have lasted five. >> rob: the way he started the game? no. but he can thank ronny belliard for that in the first inning. >> bob: on a 3-2 pitch, a 6-4-3 double play ended that inning. washington got only two runs after having the bases loaded and nobody out for three different hitters. so he's got a chance to be 6-7 if the bullpen can do the job. here's adam dunn who has walked, has an rbi and a fly ball to center. >> rob: i see a lot of guys wearing the mouth piece nowadays. i've seen more than just a handful of pitchers. is there a reason for that? >> jim p.: because you grind your teeth, and -- >> rob: i grind my teeth when i sleep, but i don't think i really need a mouth piece. >> jim p.: but i think it's, ag

the athletics in the game on friday night against jeremy guthrie scored 6 in the bottom of the 1st.lasted two-thirds of an inning. and last night it was one run in the first against berken but then four in the third and four in the fourth. and so the athletics a team that has not hit much on the year. last in the league in average, really have found their strokes against the orioles starting pitching in this series. and that ball is lined foul down the leftfield line. it was out over the plate and crosby pulled it. >> i have to tell you, this road trip is a surprise after the 5-2 home stand. you go out to seattle, they won the first game, albeit 1-0, but pitching has been inconsistent and caused some problems for dave trembley. >> curveball toward third. mora diving stop and long throw across and out at first base. salazar somehow kept his foot on the bag. bob geren is going to come out and argue. sterson, the first base coach thought the foot came off. it is 3-0 oakland but a big out. >> geren is going to argue that salazar lost contact with the bag. and paul ham ill is matter of f

and the left fielder makes the grab and a good comeback inning by jeremy guthrie.a few years behind me, it seems i've got three times the bills i used to. and they're getting in the way of things i'd like to do. with the money bar, i can move my money around instantly, so when there's more bills than usual, it's no problem. and i use the wish list to put any extra money aside for anything i want. being in control of my money feels good. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high-definition, online view of your money. pnc. leading the way.  >> jim h.: nationals grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first. >> jim p.: a big night for melvin. over 150 at-bats without a home one -- run, but last night, rbi's all over the ballpark. ended up with four which was more than he had all month long. so there you go. the orioles are hitting over .300 as a team. >> jim h.: first ball swinging. pops it foul down the right side. slicing back towards the crowd. and it's in the stands. zaun on deck, then robert andino will follow. we'll have a look at the leader board presented

all of a sudden if you're jeremy guthrie you want to get the first batter out. you can't, you got to throw the ball more over the middle of the plate. willingham all over that high fastball. three innings out of four now, the nationals have had their lead-off man aboard. josh bard's job will be to move willingham at least to third base. >> jim p.: it's what you talked about, situational hitting. who better to do it than bard, and he does it. >> rob: that may not be deep enough to advance anybody. >> jim p.: watch this arm. look at this. yep. >> bob: he hit the cut-off man and he threw it so well it would have been a short hop at third base. >> jim p.: he came up a shortstop, and gary pettis was in town with the rangers. he said he could play shortstop, but they had signed betancourt, so watch this. you're right about hitting the cut-off man. >> rob: and he did a nice job surrounding the ball. he went back on it. some guys will catch it flat- footed -- flat-footed and get nothing behind it. he hit the cut-off man. >> bob: i had some conversations with and di van

aubrey joins jeremy guthrie as the number one draft choices acquired by the orioles with 29 rbi's at columbus and reports to norfolk, plays first base. brian schneider nay play third base. orioles acquiring michael aubrey for a player tore named later. david hernandez, will he be coming pack to baltimore's in -- baltimore? that story up next when we continue in a moment. on masn. ? >> welcome back. the orioles number one pick in the draft named player of the year by the "usa today". hobgood 11-1, earned run average of 0.92, 68 1/3 innings, he hit .475 with # 1 home runs. 55 rbi's. hobgood should sign with the orioles any day and michael gichts at shortstop draft the by the orioles made the usa second team. david hernandez, kind of an interesting story going on right now. at norfolk, he's 3-2 with a 3.30 earned run average. wall street with the orioles, he was 1-1 with a 3.95 earned run average and he pitched only nine innings. everyone is target to wonder why david hernandez was pulled out of the game after four innings. he didn't walk a bear batter, struck out four, didn't allow a r

delivers the game- tying base hit up the middle to make it 6-6 with two outs in the ninth inning and jeremy guthrie scored. they have done a great job of some of the elyse lead pitchers of baseball. rose roarses, the closers of the mets. they got a couple of walks in an inning against him. ryanan madson on saturday give up two home runs in that comeback win by the orioles in philadelphia. last night, matt lindstrom got two quick outs and gave up the three-run deficit as the orioles came back and tied it. unfortunately, he they didn't like the outcome after 12 innings last night it orioles have shown you have to get them out all 27 outs. they're not going to give up. unfortunately for the birds, they were not able to pull out the win in extra innings. when you look over a one-run game and look at the things that may have happened, mistakes and misplays can be costly and it hurt the orioles last night. >> buck: they did have some opportunities and the miscues here's. emilio bonifacio hits a ball up the middle. you see robert trying to tag the ball at second -- bag at second misses. all hands are safe

each of the three, rich hill, brad bergesen and jeremy guthrie pitched into the seventh inning. the defense was on their toes because the pitchers threw a lot of strikes. a lot about standing defense and clutch hitting. close ballgames, it makes just one or two good the difference. in florida, a different story. brushing mistakes. fielding -- baserunning mistakes, fielding to give the marlins extra outs and they took full advantage of it. matt wieters' first error and emilio bonifacio would score from first base when felix pie held the ball too long. that was the difference in the ballgame. when you look at the two series, it's quite a departure. 3-0 in philadelphia. they've lost the first two games here and scored five runs per game in philadelphia. different story down here and they only hit .240 against a very good florida marlins pitching staff. they have to grind and win this game. a 4-2 road trip isn't bad, but it's not as good as you expected when you start out 3- 0. >> jim: nick markakis last night in right field picked up another outfield assist gunning down a runner at
