what a play by andy laroche!be the first guy we've seen throw out morgan on a bunt down the third-base line. that was really good. >> rob: andy laroche right here with the barehand play as good as you can do it takes a hit away from nyjer morgan. that is beautiful. nice stretch by pearce at the end. >> bob: can't tell what you a good play that was. wow. sheer guzman, base hit last time on -- here is guzman a base hit last time. the nats are going quickly and quite leer here. nats six consecutive hitters and make itself registering eight outs for ross ohlendorf. he's dominating the nats right now. >> rob: don't think he got one right off the left shoulder. a lot of protection over there. >> bob: 4-1 pirates, top of the sixth. ohlendorf getting outs way too quickly right now. the nats have one hit since the third and only two since the second. that's a great fastball. >> bob: breaking ball, guzman gone. nationals gone in the top of the sixth inning. where's the offense we saw in milwaukee? it's not in pittsburgh ye

that tailed inside under the hands of andy laroche who popped up to guzman the first time. last night inspect seven innings, john lannan only put three zeros on the board. stammen only put one zero up tonight so far. and that's really what it is all about, keeping the other team from scoring on a consistent basis. the pirates have been pretty consistent in this series. there is is a pitch out and delwyn young staying at first base. the pirates haven't seen much of his running game yet. he is 2-2 in steals. i was surprised what a little guy he is when i saw him down by the batting cage. not big at all, but he has big speed. a solid 209 they list him. he's holding as laroche lits one to deep right center. nyjer morgan can't get it. the ball bangs off the wall. the pirates go again and a man goes all the way to third, andy laroche. >> rob: what i see right now is a hungry young team alot of players that are finally going to get a chance to play at this level, and stammen is doing nothing to shut them down a great effort by nyjer morgan right there. >> bob: he knows the padding

andy laroche made a great play on him last night.d have much better success dragging the ball down the first baseline, but it seems like his bunting forte is laying it down the third base way. he'll pull that one. they know they've got to hurry. that's a base hilt -- base hit. he almost committed to second base and now he goes back. >> rob: i talked to rick eckstein about nyjer morgan's game and he is is kind of caught the between whether or not to put the balls down on some bunts or try to slap the ball either way. he's got really good bat control. but part of his game, it is a speed game. he just has to put the ball there, down on the turf, and run. there you see cedeno can't come up with it. that's just some bad baseball. >> bob: look out, ump! mark wagner getting out of dodge. >> rob: delwyn young. >> bob: here is guzman. this is always interesting because with guzman, a very impatient hitter. morgan has to steal northwesterly the count if he is going to get to second base. guzman has walked nine times this year in 359 at-bats. b

andy laroche. deep right field. that's gone. solo home run. and you could -- say that sosa is just a wee bit upset. laroche, two homers on the night. fast forward, top of the ninth. mike gonzalez. closing out the game. and sends the hot shot up the middle. check out the reaction. what an amazing catch. and almost takes his head off. instead he cches it for the out. and beat the nationals 6-2. preseason game, one for the redskins. in baltimore tomorrow night. don't blink because if you do, you won't see the starters. they won't play long. several of them, won't play at all. it will be a chance for the young guys, veterans, fighting for a roster spot to make an early impression on the coaches while they're in the line of fire. so to speak. also the first time the new look redskins defense will face live competition. and that is actually wearing another uniform. and haynesworth won't play. and get some snaps. first pro game. they're a couple of the reasons that some think this could be, perhaps, the best defense in the nfl. defensive coordinator

the pirates' andy laroche makes a one handed pickup on the slow roller to third but the throw goes to home plate, the dugout. he missed first base by a whole base. that is when you know, still it was a good pickup on the bare hander. worst haircuts those given by the cowboys veterans to their rookies. that one they call the shark fin. you think the girls will dig that? probably not. worst motorcycle jump, x games, they land on each other. i'm not hip on the x games but are they supposed to do that? is that part of the act? i know it's extreme. probably not what they are supposed to do. let's go to the ugly. most unfortunate foul ball attempt. this gentleman in pittsburgh in the right field stands who reaches over the railing, loses his balance and lands on the old melon. it didn't turn out well for him. he is all bloodied up. look at albert pujols trying to care for him, poor guy. they carted him off but he will be okay. hybrid between horse racing and nascar, through the windshield. that horse did not see the car coming. imagine you are the driver of that car. all of a sudden out of

. final hope for 9 pirates is andy laroche. laroche, 1-3 today. and the 1-0 pitch. macdougal throws the strike. the count is even 1-1. target away from wil nieves. fastball, up and in. 5-3 nats, two outs, bottom of the 9th. ball 3. thing you don't want to do is walk anybody and give them the tieing run in the batter's bo brandon moss has hit five home runs this year. it won't be a 1, 2, 3 night.  mike's previous six saves, i remember one being the one, t, three 9th inning. again, sosa, they are just stil down by a run. you don't want to put a guy o and bring the tieing run to the plate. >> bob: nationals play behind the runner, and macdougal mis way outside. maybe just a matter of time before laroche goes down to second. moss 1-3 with a base hit today. and there's a strike. wil nieves picks it be a short hop. 2-1. hot stop. watch the backhand of wil nies >> he's young, but as he ge older, you have to work to ma it look like it got by yo
