as andy macphail says we're not a farm system for other teams.elp them as well. >> that is a great point. >> how about luke scott? here is a guy, he is very streaky, and when he is hitting the ball well, he can carry a ball club. he can pound the ball out of the park. people look for that. >> i don't know why u you would be looking to move him. i told andy that and he said i'm with you. there is a guy who is a left- handed power bat who is under our control this next and the next season. is he untouchable? of course not. but at there point he is a guy that they'd like to have on this club. it is not like he is blocking somebody in triple-a who is beating down the door and oh, we have to move luke scott. he can be a part of this future and this whole rebuilding plan. if the right offer comes along, they'll listen. they are not actively shopping him. as andy says, he like this is outfield. he likes markakis, jones, reimold, scott and pie. they're young, talented. he weren'ts to hold on to luke scott. he can be part of the puzzle here and i agree. >

andy macphail is going to talk to the team doctors again to decide what the next step will be. it is widely believed that david hernandez will be recalled from triple-a nor fork to get the start. >> bob: 12 starts for uehara. and that ball bangs off the mound and a base hit for nolan reimold and he is 2-3. >> jim: there you go low fastball, middle of the plate. he was talking today. he said the biggest problem he had in the maynor leagues was kind of balance. pitching, as you mentioned, you kind of push off the rubber. you have to load when you hit. he said he would be bobbing and we'ving, and now with terry cruelly, the hitting instructor for the orioles, he was our guy who was supposed to be hitting home runs in the minor league, i'm surprised at how good he is. better than advertised. >> bob: breaking ball and the count is now even. >> jim: if you're ross detwiler, you're looking at the nine guys in the orioles' lineup and the one guy to bounce into the double play is the one guy you better get out and he had to do it with the bases loaded. it looks like arizona highway maga

. >> buck: i think there are a lot of possibilities and i don't think andy macphail has made up his minde direction or the other. i think with baseball being so bunched up at the top and so many teams included in the wildcard race, there's going to be a lot of activity moving around, and rosters shuffling

.: i asked the andy macphail, i said 15 out of 50? he said that's a pretty good pace.of course the nationals. >> rob: last week we'd signed 16 out of 51. >> jim p.: how's the strasburg lottery going? >> rob: i'll have to ask. >> jim h.: hernandez gets out of it. two hits, and no runs.   >> bob: john lannan in and out of trouble, first couple of innings, 33 pitches, 20 strikes. for the orldz, top of the order, adam jones, bottom three in a 1-0 game. ripped to left. adam jones, against the nationals in his career, is now 22 for 47. he's approaching the .460 mark against washington pitching. >> jim p.: he doesn't miss a whole lot of belt high fastballs, especially in the middle of the plate. watch this one right there. that's where it is. you know that john lannan wanted to maybe get it away a little bit. sink it away. the thing about adam, he's a much better hitter against right-handed pitching. only three of his 12 home runs. well over .300 against righties, but .275 against lefties. >> bob: ty wigginton next, popped out to right first time. orioles h

. >> buck: one of the specific goals for andy macphail at the start of this season was for his club tothe end than they are at the beginning. and that's not be the trend around here lately as the last couple of months of each season over the last several years have been disasterous. but i think with the infusion of young players, the improvement and the pitching, i think you're going to see a much better ball club in august and september this year than we have seen in a number of years. >> jim: markakis achopper to second base and uggla gets markakis. one away. that is 10 in a row retired by andrew miller since brian roberts led off a game with a double. >> buck: it is not unusual that the starting pitcher will have a little bit of a problem in the first inning. we see it all the time when the starters are trying to find the strike zone, get complained of their emotions, strike zone and throw all of their pitches over. if you don't get them early, you might not have a chance late. >> jim: the appeal to first and adam fairchild says adam checked in time. he struck out in his first at- b

the president of baseball operations andy macphail was quoted as saying "we've really punished avery and who hes to the south atlantic -- hoes to the south atlantic leede league out of high school. they can handle the south atlantic league a year out of the draft. " when told of these comments, xavier avery was delighted that andy took notice of his and l.j.'s progress. >> it made me feel a lot better, you know. it makes you feel good. it makes me feel like somebody is thinking about me and it means that i'm doing something positive. >> it's great. to show that the hard work that me and xavier put in. it's starting to pay off a little bit. you can't get too head over heels right now. you still got to keep working and keep grinding. baseball is a grind. day in and day out, you have to bring the same thing. can't get too high. can't get too low. it's great he mentioned t our goal is still to get to the major leagues one day. >> l.j. hoes hitting .238 and aavery .280. both have speed. hoes with eight stolen bases and avery with 20. matt hobgood is in baltimore. he arrived just recently

. >> buck: obviously, the president of baseball separations -- operations is on the trip andy macphailthere's a lot of conversation going on about preventative moves and whatever you might have to do should the news not be good after the examination tomorrow. >> jim: 0-2, he got him. what a start for rich hill. three strikeouts, three swinging strikeouts, and marlins go in order, three up, three down. so, rich hill looking for his fourth win gets them in order in the first. and a few things we want to pay for. on top of it all, we're still trying to put away some money for the future. with the wish list, we can save up for anything we want. and still have enough to cover the day-t0-day. plus, the savings engine helps our money grow. and that's something we need and want. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high definition, online view of your money. pnc. leading the way. try chili's new fire-grilled quesadillas, starting at $6.99. flame-grilled tortillas layered with chicken, bacon, cheese, and ranch. crispy on the outside, melted perfection on the inside. new fire-grilled quesa
