joining us now is jim palmer. i want to get your thoughts on rich hill's efforts early in this ballgame. >> it's a big break for the orioles as far as i'm concerned, only not because of guthrie the fact he hasn't pitched as well as we expected. but you want positive things ghoog after the all-star game. for rich hill he'd got beat in 10 innings in camden yards, but tonight i actually thought he threw the ball. we're talking about a kid that was away pretty much all year long. he's 29, but he hasn't really pitched that much at the major league levels. he kept him in the ballgame. he made some great pitches. i thought his curveball was sharper. he still drops his arm. rick dempsey knows about this. but at the end of the day when you can pitch six innings, only give up two runs, you give your team a chance to win. there are the total numbers. i don't think i would have let him go out there in the 7th with millar leading off, but as it turned out baez came in and got them out of harm's way. ricky romero had won his la

joined today by jim palmer as always and jim, with the turnover of the team, question know it will continues the next step for mcphail as you want to get first competitive and ultimately in contention? >> we go to the bottom of the list, the three out of five starters. hernandez pitched well a couple of night ago. obviously you have berken who pitched yesterday and i mean, bergesen has been outstanding, one run over eight inning with the red sox and probably see tillman before the summer is over but at the end of the day for the orioles -- and we know they have adam jones and reimold. you have markakis signed long- term and brian roberts -- you have the core players that understand how to play but at the end of the day it's about pitching. the starters have to pitch better. it's something that obviously has been wanting over the last couple of years and begins to change. >> jim h: one of the big acquisitions, adam jones picked up in the trade with seattle for bedard, a big day today. named to his first american all star team. >> jim p: you will not find a nicer kid. mcphail on the trip -- i

we're going to welcome in jim palmer.ave to ask you david hernandez, a guy like yourself who lifed on that high fastball. tell me what you thought about the young right-hander? >> well, i thought he pitched better than ervin santana, and that's what you try to do as a starter pitcher. if you had the advance scout are report, if you looked that's washington game, crowd say he didn't get this breakling ball over. well, tonight that it was not the case. curveball very good. fastball, he's not a great fastball, uses his change-up well. abreu, gets him to roll over right there with a changion, and right here fields his position. that was a lead-off out. you always like to get those. the only mistake as we see the really good curveball there was the pitch to mors in the 7th inning that he got up over the plate. so other than that, and maybe a hanging curveball for the double to rivera. but i think he threw 111 pitches, and you only make two bad pitches, but don't he outpitches his opponent who has had some terrific years, and t

jim palmer and amber theoharis here with us. this kind of ballgame, both over 6 e.r.a.s. now. it's a pitchers' duel. >> jim: you know, managers want them to pitch beyond their years. brett cecil pitched well. jason berken almost as good. orioles pitch better here at home than on the road. but they have not hit so far. up to this point. >> gary: orioles will try to come back like they did against seattle. >> jim: they don't have any out. the jays will be making a pitching change and let's see if the orioles can take advantage of that. >> gary: shawn camp with appear in his 40th game here with that 4-0 mark. the oriole, as jim said, probably more than happy to see brett cecil out of there, the starter and get a shot at camp. cecil, outstanding job going the 6 innings. he gave up just the 4 hit, no run, 1 walk and 5 strikeouts in the ballgame. melvin mora will come up to hit against camp. and that is in there for a strike. one of the problems for the orioles, trying to develop any kind of offense is that they have not had any leadof

if you watched the game yesterday jim palmer hinted at the orioles' lack of will to win wondering why they didn't take patting practice before the game. after he saw derek jeter in the cage working out. the orioles are the season worst 12 games under 500. >>> the orioles are going to be moving to sarasota. they cut a deal with the sarasota county commission and will start spring training next year. the 30-year agreement includes establishing a cal ripken youth baseball academy on the grounds. that means the or yoalts leave their -- orioles leave their current spring training facility in fort lauderdale. they go from the east side to the west side of florida. >>> the dunk lebron james doesn't want anybody to see. now out on two separate web sites including tmz. this happened at the lebron james skills academy in ohio earlier this month. the superstar was dumped on by a sophomore at xavier university during a pickup game. two photographers picked it up on tape. they were immediately approached by nike. representatives took the tapes. james and people from nike have no comment on the vid

me and jim palmer were talking about lou never got one. asked adam on the plane, did you get that one? he said, yeah. >> bob: the one in baltimore? >> rob: yeah. >> bob: he centered that one as well. willingham 0-1 with a walk tonight. josh, did he hold up? yes, he did, says ed rapuano. the count goes full, 3-2. 80 pitches in 4 1/3 for sean west. >> rob: that's amazing right there. hitting behind adam dunn, it's -- >> bob: yeah, that will clear the bases. i don't think josh minds. >> rob: no. >> bob: that's walk number three. >> rob: the better josh does, ever since he came back from his brother's funeral, he has just been on a mission. he couldn't be happier for him. better professionally he does, more better pitches adam dunn is going to see which means ryan zimmerman is going to see better pitches. they all hit. that's going to be it for mr. west. leroux. >> bob: it's going to be christopher leroux. nats knock out sean west. goes beautifully with a lot of ethnic spicy foods.

joined by jim palmer. ers, the question is why is it happening and what could the orioles do to change it? >> jim p.: well, they need to play better. i mean that's the first thing and you need mora, who hasn't hit a home run in almost 48 games, adam jones as a right- handed hitter, you need him to step up. i think overall, jim, what happens is that the orioles have very good left-handed hitters so when you face saunders, washburn pitched a one hitter, vargas left, the orioles came back and won that game. then brett cecil probably pitched the best game. the bottom line, when you stack up lefties against the orioles, huff, markakis, even brian roberts, he'll bat right- handed, that's not his best side, the slugging numbers go down. you really need to get good pitching. even when you got good pitching, last night, cecil pitched better than berken did. >> jim h.: unfortunately for the birds, had he goes to the mound, they really don't know which pitcher they'll get. >> jim p.: he just has to throw the ball. las

jim hunter with jim palmer.azing thing about the performance from rich hill tonight, unfortunately the orioles really had no idea of knowing which rich hill would show up the tonight it was the goodrich hill. he was very effective. >> jim p.: we talked about king of the hill, being aggressive, forget about the bad starts. i think he did a good job of that. you've got to be on egg shells when he's pitched. tonight he threw the ball well, he made some great pitches. >> jim h.: you talked about, hey, forget about everything. don't go out there and think, just go out there and pitch. >> jim p.: i thought he threw the ball better, he had better life through the strike zone. we could work on change-ups and i think that's what he's going do the second half of the season. yogi never, he just called the pitches. he never pitched. he hit 358 home runs. >> jim h.: this the final start for rich hill prior to the all- star break. this is really something he might be able to build on. >> jim p.: the orioles certainly want to

jim palmer, it's indefinable as to how those numbers can be that different. >> jim: it really is. it's a little different when you're not at home, have to come out earlier for some batting practice, but, you know, maybe, maybe the orioles need have somebody step up like bobby abreu. came into last night's game with only four home runs. really good month of june as far as rbis, not a lot of power, but somebody to step up like he did, hit a solo home run, 3-run home run, and make a difference in the ball game. >> the any gems numbers over the last month have been outstanding. >> well, they have. when you look at what they've done and the batting averages have done, the batting averages are pretty much the same, the runs, maybe a run a game, and the eras are about the same, so the quality starts. so i a fin, the orioles maybe not winning, don't have as much speed. the angels number two in stolen bases. the orioles are 13th. >> gary: now, with the chance for hern an tez to stay in the rotation will depend on how he performs tonight. it may be in another start, but he's got to battle i

jim palmer and amber theoharis, i'm gary thorn. good to have you with us on this friday night as the other yoalses kick off this three- game set. aubrey huff will lead it off for the orioles. reimold and scott will be coming up. and aubrey will take the first pitch for a strike. on the road, .179 coming off that trip so he would like to get things going again offensively. and he will have to wait. >> jim: he had to have a similar series as when he went to the west coast before where he hit some balls pretty well and they just got to the warning track. i guess on that last trip, when they went to seattle and oakland, he probably hit about five homeruns. what did buck say? it would have been a homerun here. but buck martinez says, you weren't playing here. there is more room to pitch, especially in seattle. >> gary: these teams have split the first six games played. aubrey with a .360 average. he has gone 9-for-25 with a homerun and 5 rbis against jays pitching. these teams have swept one another in their own yards. here is a 1-2 del

everybody knows jim palmer never gave up a grandslam and he remembered the day, bases-loaded and palmerlked him on four pitches so he wouldn't give up a grandslam. that's the kind of guy he was. and it's long overdue, he's on a list of guys that hadn't gotten in before this year. andre dawson, i hope he gets in, and they were bigger than what their numbers indicated they were. >> so, in your mind, it's clear, he's a hall of famer. took 15 years, 75%, leaving still 25 -- 67% he got. 24% did not. in your opinion, he's a clear cut hall of famer? >> i'm not saying he's a clear cut. he's a hall of famer. and i would put him in a position. what helped him, tony perez getting in. very similar, and, tony was the really, the team of the red machine. and, he provided things that over players didn't provide and same thing for the red sox. yaz was great and fred i freddy lynn, but if you were in the other dugout, the guy you feared in in a crucial situation was jim rice. his numbers were dominant. and what hurt him, was the lack of defensive capability, and, he was injured a number of times. his nu

let's go to anaheim to revisit with jim hunter and jim palmer. jim? >> jim h: thank you very much.ries where you have leads in three consecutive games and you're managing to win only one, the work of the bullpen comes into play. the angels' bullpen was fabulous. orioles struggled, especially the last few nights. >> jim p: i think they're overwork and didn't execute. last night, baez came in. to tie game, they give him an extra out right here and falls apart. it has to be caught. without been a tie ball game. they bring in bass and 395th career home run by guerrero, he lost his bat speed. on sunday, albers comes on to make a pretty good pitch early on but the pitch before, curveball, the next pi

gary thorn and jim palmer next. they have the play by play.f, for some reap, you have to leave the television, turn on your radio, 105.7. joanne gel with the call tonight. adam jones is the all-star. stay tuned fort game on masn. i've never been all that great with my money. probably because i've never had much. but now that i'm making more, it's time to be a little smarter about how i manage it.. with the calendar, i can schedule all my payments. and when funds are low, danger days help me stay out of the red. i can also transfer money with just a click and a drag. so maybe i'm better with money than i thought. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high-definition, online view of your money. pnc. leading the way.

cellular field, joined by our colleague jim palmer. mes like tonight, jim, you are going to get beat, we you give up base hits, it's part of the fame, but i think what was so disappointing about the start of the second half here was all of the walks, 7 walks and two hit batters. you just can't give up that many base runners a against a contending team. >> gary: well, that's right. and jason berken until he got into n the 5 inning, they hadn't walked anybody. you could just see that his stuff was not what it was early on in the 5th inning, and i think the big question for the orioles, and dave trembley talked about it early on, we're not going to bump anybody out of the rotation, but now he's 1- 7. rick dempsey knows after catching for all those years, he needs to stay down. but his stuff isn't good enough where he's going to throw balls by guys up in the strike zone, and again his curveball, you know, has a attendance, he threw a couple of good ones, struck out ramirez, but overall, he just has to command the ball a little bit better, a

palmer working his second inning in relief. and the 1-0 breaking ball to mora misses. double, single, two for four for mora. >> jim have the feeling right here, maybe 165 at bats. you know he's looking for a ball inside middle going to try to hammer it. >> gary: takes it the other way town the line, and it is foul. >> jim: i guess it's probably a good thing. i think a lot of times if you're thinking about the fact, oh, yeah, i haven't hit a home run in 43, now going on 44 games, your usual approach is to open up, but he tries to drive it to center. >> gary: matt palmer, 2-2 count with two down. the bottom s@z   . >> gary: there is your sto going to the bottom of the 9th inning. orioles looking to even up the series here in game 2. and george $14 coming out of the bullpen. the orioles closer who is 17 out of 20. >> jim: now it's all up to george sherrill, and the angels are, i would imagine, maybe we'll see some pinch hitters, and member not. they certainly have enough right-handers on the bench. >> gary: izturis will lead it off. and he does try and bunt for the bates hit, and will foul t
