it's one of the one times you want the guy to hit it hard to you. >> bob: here's a.j. ellis.d a couple of rbis. he's from lexington, kentucky. a dodger's 16th round draft choice. he's had 13 at-bats at the big- league level the last two years. he'll get many more than that this year if charlie haeger sticks with the dodgers all year. they've got him catching the knuckle baller here tonight. this would be a great hitter for atilano to retire. breaking ball, fair. willie harris goes to 2nd. the nats are out of the inning. a one-out walk did not hurt. pudge is next.

a.j. ellis had a hard time digging that one out.he nats have swiped a couple tonight. >> rob: the best thing about the dodgers, they don't have miguel olivo on their team. >> bob: well, we'll see plenty of russell martin this weekend. a.j. ellis having a hard time getting his footwork in order there. nyjer morgan, 1-3 with a triple and a run scored. that's a big helicopter swing he takes there. >> rob: you never know when the dodgers are going to break out. >> bob: they have four and five coming up in the inning. then belliard. >> bob: 1-2 to nyjer morgan. must be the way the breeze is blowing. the smell of grilled hot dogs is wafting its way into the booth up here. we don't get that often. >> rob: wafting? >> bob: yeah. >> rob: i know you love hot dogs. i do too. i'm just not allowed to eat them anymore. >> bob: my day will come. 1-2 to morgan. well hit, right field. the nats will score again. morgan digging for two. his 4th rbi of the year. the nationals make the walk hurt and lead it 5-1 here in the 7th. he still has more triples

a.j. ellis will be behind the plate. he'll be catching haeger.et's take a look at riggleman's lineup card. left fielder, josh willingham. he's driven in 11 runs. he's also hit 11 of 15 starts. his career run, as far as home runs are concerned, he's decked three. leading off as always the center fielder, nyjer morgan. adam kennedy at 2nd base. guzman gets the start at short. then comes willingham, pudge rodriguez. zimmerman takes the night off again, hopefully to get back to 100%. justin maxwell goes to right. luis is on the mound. johnny holliday and ray knight with you. time for our one-voice ask the broadcaster question. one from jason. you've been talking about pitchers needing to pitch inside more. can you think of any active pitchers who live on the inside? >> i don't think they live on the inside as much as they want to. santana throws a lot of balls inside. kershaw, the guy that pitches for the dodgers, a lot of pitches in there. oswalt with houston, he will bust you inside. dempster also pitches inside a lot to set up that split finger an
