kinsler plays a big hot. one away in the orioles second. >> jim: the other thing they don't pay a lot of attention to, is the out fielder's gloves. they are only allowed to be 12 inches long from the tip to any of the 4 fingers not the thumb. many of the outfielders have gloves that appear to be larger. they like the catch that ball running away. here's weeders, one out, none on. there's a strike. >> buck: we talk about the improvement of feldman from last year to this year. taken off 40 points in his opponents batting average against the left-handers. that's the pitch. the cut fastball. it's not unlike what rivera does. rivera is naturaller, and sharper breaker breaker. he was a sidearmer reliever. mark conner the former pitching coach suggested he'll vet the arm and throw cut fastball to salvage his career. that is fair. feldman will tag out weeders and 2 down as weeders sounded like he broke his bat. the orioles and masn have teamed up to make tickets more affordable. purchase maximum access tickets in up
