ian stewart is 0-3 be three balls bush with three ball -- with three balls in the air. rob, i think tyler walker is a perfect example of a guy that you look at what he did this spring. had nothing to do with the success he's had since coming north. >> rob: no andit has everybody to do with the evaluation process saying we know what he can do during the regular season and how valuable he can be to the ball club. we're going to have to wait it out until his arm gets right or ready or however you want to look at it and once it's become apparent that his arm is right, this guy has been a great cog in this wheel. so you know, right now, tyler walker is valuable to the relief core on the team as anybody. >> bob: used to have to wonder until brian bruney works out his issues, if walker suddenly becomes a 7th and 8th inning man. >> rob: he didn't want to use tyler clippard today and that's why reused bruney. >> bob: that bouncer will get through for ian stewart. his fifth base hit of this series and clint barmes will be next. barmes, 0-3 tonight, 3-11 with a couple of rbis in t

for a strike sinker for a strike fast ball for app ball another sinker for a ball, comes back with aker in trying to go to right field goes to right field to get him to third base giving himself up, advancing the runner for rodriquez to go to right field we manufactured a run early the way we've played all year that was it until the 9th inning when kennedy got the double and thrown out >> there you see the numbers, zimmerman goes 2-4 in the 9th inning kennedy's hit came in the 9th inning tries top technical it, me shot >> i'm not sure what happened in this play. looked like he was thinking 245 ball was going to get down in the corner this is a great play by the left fielder you're 6 runs behind not a very smart pray >> not at all 7-1 the final there zimmerman with that big double >> i figured it out, 1620 feet he's hit the pal in miami >> a lot of feet he's nailing the ball >> in that ball mark and florida wins it what's up with steven? well interesting news on the right happenedder from harrisburg when we come back also from morgan

that ball hit him in the foot, evidently, foul ball.ld like to see him start swinging awayment he's trying to hit behind the runner in every at-bat. he's got home run potential. this guy can jack francis out of here. he keeps tying himself up trying to go to right. nice save from francis. 1-2 count. >> bob: gonzalez has two career homers and his first was two years ago. atlanta was in september. he gets one to the left side. that sets up the bunting situation for olsen who had a short chat with with riggleman before heading to the batter's box. >> another good breaking ball by francis, down and in. he gets the single by tulowitzki and they were pinching in for the double play. nationals have selected 3 hits for the 7 and 8 hitters today. olsen spins it perfectly once today. francis doesn't throw very hard and our guys are not at the top of the order and they are the guys right on them. >> bob: stewart is hanging here the bag and helton is charging in. even with the ball pushed a little to the left field side, he might grab it and wheel

play ball.times it just takes one good outing to get you going in the right direction. brian's trying to be more aggressive. he knows he's walked a few people. really at this point, really hasn't come back to hurt the nationals and you can't worry about your individual statistics when you're on a team that's playing so well. >> willie harris is in left. we have him batting ninth on the double switch. bruney batting fifth and the hitter is another marlin who wasn't even in the big leagues last year. mike lamb, 34 years of age now. lots of years with texas and with houston. with minnesota and milwaukee for a few games in '08 he spent all of '09 at the mets' triple a at buffalo and hit .261. marlins signed him as a free agent back on february 11th. he's always been a left-handed batter. got a couple of post season appearances. and that one is up and in from bruney 2-1 as lamb bat for hensley. pitched three scoreless innings. a hit batter and struck out seven. maybin the leadoff man, 07-3 on deck. o

looks like a ball.n there. 96 right here, an easy 96. >> bob: johnson coming in, 34 strikeouts, 12 walks, 31 innings. given up only 25 hit during that time. so if he goes seven or eight, he usually gives up like five hits. willingham, surprising speed at first this year. don't forget about him. he is 4 for 4. 3-1 to willy. out of play, left side. [ cheers and applause ] >> bob: would jim rigman start the runner with no outs and a full count against a strikeout pitcher? he does. no swing said tim barret and willy harris is aboard. jim riggleman knows every 90 feet is important. two out of three is not bad. that's the subject of the 2nd inning sponsorship when we think of all things deuce and the nats could put another two. a call for the luna double. get your second room of floors free at 877-241-luna. the only ballclub the nats lost the series to, home and home with the phils. here's desmond. a big spot for him. >> rob: pulled off that breaking ball. >> bob: desmond did not see josh willingham last sept

it is a foul ball. that one died out there. >> eddie: i know at lo of people are worrying about that ball club coming out of the dome but i tell you ron has a baseball team. these guys play everywhere, they weren't just a turf team. >> gary: that one to 1st base, guthrie getting over. atkins will flip to him and gets the out. one down here in the 4th inning. make your plans now fortunate first fireworks of the season. it's going to be friday at the indians game, 7:05. every friday is at&t student night. all stints get a upper left field reserve seat. come and enjoy the fireworks. jason kubel retired for the first out and here's ramos, grounded out his first time up. jammed and fouled it out. one ball, one strike count. in this one, the hitters are finding a way to get some runs. >> mike: ramos really burst on the scene getting seven hits in his first two major league games. nobody has done that since maybe somebody you know. >> gary: that one, foul territory. he's got it. so for jeremy guthrie the worst

supposed to be a ground ball pitcher. given up more fly ball outs than ground ball outs this year. four starts in the big league level. >> bob: offspeed. right field, for roger bernadina. >> rob: got a report, no free lunch. way too many walks. 12 walks in 23 innings pitched so far for atilano. that's not good if you're a ground ball guy. keep the ball down low. that ball that was hit right there, if it's hit better, it's a home run. but i love the attitude. he's aggressive and attacks the strike zone and it's getting the guys out on the ground ball out instead of letting them hilt the offspeed change-ups. >> bob: you are uneasy looking at the numbers. >> rob: we've seen him at times go away from that and go with the offspeed pitch. >> bob: he has lived a charmed life. facing seth smith here. 11 strikeouts, 12 walks and now 23 innings. >> rob: don't go away from your screen. that's a good one. >> bob: didn't get the call, 2- 1. nats road record despite the loss today, 9-8. 5-4 against the west. rockies have 9-8 against the east. we've seen a lot of our divisions so far. and it goes

. 1 ball, 1 strike.t's hit into left field for a base hit. zimmerman is happy to see a right hander in the there. you take guzman out and put bernadina in. one fly ball to right field could decide the game. unlike you i am surprised they didn't pitch guzman here. >> bob: another strike. this game has not retired switchers by managers. it looks like rogers is ready to go. francis and olsen were 1 pitch apart in their outings today. 1 pitch. 0-2 to zimmerman. he has to be hacking. olsen throw 106 pitches, 67 strikes, francis is 107 pitches and 67 strikes. >> they are both really in tune. francis started the game in december 2008 and that was his last game. olsen has done a great job too. someone has to score runs. 0-2 to zimmerman again. ryan breaks his bat hitting to left side and that was close to pulling off the bag. and it will be a runner at 1st with 1 out and willingham coming up. zimmerman has busted at least a half dozen bats in this series. >> ryan is always hustling. got to 1st base well. christi

his defense saved the ball game last fight for us. fast ball inside, 2-2.f the third rolls around. zimmerman locking in at the pipper. 1-6, nine career hits, 79 at bats. that was a bilge play. roaches there, drives it a run. with the pitcher on deck. career hit number 10. both of these guys tonight and josh johnson tomorrow. >> this is the play that ended the second inning. told you why he's a gold glove. spins his feet around. great rolling throw to kennedy. another star for ken dewhile he's whiting for the throw. >> with the pitch aboard. >> perez who was an excellent coach with the reds while i was there. in the hall of fame. player and an instructor and advisor for the last 15 years. you got to make contact and stop. he's like a lot of young players, listens to a lot of young people's advice. do your own thing and put the ball in play. you said if last night, the ma linns have looking for a lead off guy. you're wasting one of the best power guys. but they had nobody else there when he came from boston. we talked about it. you get to know what your job i

hudson, that's the fourth ground ball liriano when he's on, it's a 2-1 ground ball pitcher to fly ballsddie: you got to get a little better swing on that one. i think that ball might have tailed a little on him at the end. >> gary: q shot on that one. two down, nobody on. here's matt wieters. matt had an 0-3 in the opener. orioles .243 off lefties, .248 off right-handers, the team average coming into the ball game. liriano with that four-0 mark, center field and that will be handled and that's going to do it. six in a row retired by the 26-year-old left-hander. guthrie will be back up.

one ball and a strike. and a big slow breaking ball.hing about chase utley appears to me to be too obvious and we've been tricked. it's not kenshin kawakami, i'm pretty sure of that. but she next with one out here in the 4th. livan jams him, ball hooking down the line, and just fouls, very close to a solo homer, right down at that .336 mark. and a 1-2 pitch here. desmond on a hop, adam dunn stays on the bag, and the runner is out! >> rob: great play by dunn. nice play by ian. >> bob: how about that range at shortstop? >> rob: well, he's a fantastic shortstop, and the more reps he gets out there, he gets better every day. more confident. off the end of the bat. snaps the bat, and then desmond and dunn. how about he caught that on the fly and just chucked it over there for the heck of it. let's see. no, he catches that the air. >> bob: the second base umpire bill miller motions safe. >> rob: yeah, forget the lee play. >> bob: here iskawakami. and he's looking to go cleanly up the mid-. that's his first hit this year, and the 5th hit in 48

that is a two fast balls, a high curve ball. whipping past right. there is a ball skor. ed. woo. he's starting the evening hitting 335, fifth best average in the league. there is a tying run at the plate that. is a strike from rodriguez. and we haven't seen rodriguez light up the radar gun. >> no. >> like he used to. there is during 2002 world series, angels against giants. won by aces. there is rodriguez getting the out at first. and there is funny how he can fall over so much for the first base guy. up the middle he has to recover. >> congratulations to jose. winners of the mlbf tour on to see results for this week's game. make sure you play next week. and you have nick swisher at the plate. seven home runs and on base three times tonight. strike one. >> here is one of the situations where you cannot let this person tie the game on a fauft ball. >> he's a good fast ball hitter, will be good to hit the off speed show. >> we'll be with rodriguez as he came in that last inning. so there is a gets team looking for a reason to feel good about things. needing jose reyees to get them

good breaking ball. back to a breaking ball right there.e idea. >> bob: ian stewart flied to center the first time. >> rob: you're going to have to pound the strike zone. you're young, you don't have a reputation up here. you want some respect, you have to throw some strikes. that a boy. we have not seen the same guy since his first start. the last three starts after the first start he made, totally different. tentative. pitching around the strike zone instead of attacking right in the middle of it. >> bob: well, the walks went from two to three to five to back to two and now three already tonight. 1-2. stewart on the defensive. >> rob: if you're going to nibble, you're in the wrong business. you have to throw it over the plate and work ahead. even hammel recognizes that on the other side of the ball. he's working ahead and getting some outs. got himself into trouble concentrating too much on the guys on the bases with two outs, but that being said, he's still working ahead. >> bob: popped him up on 2-2. nyjer morgan is under it. >> rob: ni

breaking ball, and got him. bite on it. he lets atkins relax and finishes in kind of the upper quad drant of the strike zone. >> gary: brian hughes is 1-3 now with two down and a runner on at first base. >> gary: he sees that and makes the throw over. again, and lugo back. obviously a potential big run over there. if the orioles can get lugo around. the look and the pitch is going to be outside for a ball. >> mike: he has been the workhorse of the twins' bullpen the last couple of seasons. one of the busier relievers in all of baseball. >> gary: the fan noise is about the bird. the bird has been swooping down apparently catching whatever may be flying nearby, and the fans are applauding on each successful jaunt. >> mike: they appreciate good fielding. >> gary: they do. 2-0. there goes lugo. the throw down, ray moss and not in time. and the orioles get a stopen base and lugo gets into scoring position. >> mike: or get into a position where a single could add another run and it would be a huge run. we're at this p

out of the stretch, and the breaking ball will miss down low, ball one. i think the only breaking ball that hernandez has been throw over was what figgins hit. a slurve to lugo. >> shows bunt and it was a safety squeeze. wow! i don't know what he was doing. it was a 2 out. it's a squeeze play. he's looking for a ball away and the ball is in. 1-1 delivery on the way. that's taken up high. 2 ball and one strike count. figgins first chance with the bases loaded this season. >> he loves hitting here. comes in as a .3 13 hitter. >> 2-1 and no place the hilt him. 3-1. figgins has drawn 21 walks, he's a leader in the prepass department. second in the american league in walks. 3-1, bases loaded 2 away. and that one in the strike zone. 3-2. >> gary: if you're david hernandez you do the same thing. you take your chances. make a good pitch. throw it to the middle of the plate, let it run away and hope that figgins makes an out. 3-2. 2 down. 1-0 lead foreseealtyel. figgins with the sacks full. walked in a run. wilson will score and a 2-0 mariner's lead and the pitchi

he kept the ball in the ball park. he has done that the last five starts. >> we will come back and talk about that and more. the nationals lose 3 out of 4 in denver and are now 3 and 4 on the road trip and 2 more stops in st. louis to go. >>> baltimore comes down for a weekend series after the nats get rid of the cardinals and the mets before that and today, the nationals did put a run on the board as we mentioned, they gave olsen a nice 1-0 lead and got things rolling in the top of the 1st. morgan hit the ball toward the middle and it's off the glove of tulowitzki and it's a base hit. then desmond hits a double to the gap and morgan makes it to 3rd base. nobody is out and runs on 2nd and 3rd and guzman comes up and batting left-handed and hits the sacrifice fly to center field for a 1-0 lead. >> this is the only sniff they get off of francis and morgan, of course, struck out his next 3 times at the plate. but you see here, when they score 1st, they usually win more often. >> yeah, 16 and 12. nats 1st inning run, and n

, ball two, and looks like a change-up, bad breaking ball for a foul ball down the line. 90 running fastball 83, strike 'em out, throw 'em out, and then cristian guzman, i don't know if he has those rubber spikes on, but, bob, something stopped him from reaching second base. >> bob: he has the rubber spikes on. >> rob: unbelievable. >> bob: it looked like -- you know, they hosed down the infield before the game, it looked like he hit and just stopped. it was almost like it wasn't even a slide. >> rob: watch. see right there as he goes to put that foot under, it gets caught, maybe even on those long pants. i have no idea. >> bob: here is the pitcher, kawakami. zimmerman to his left. and a couple of ground ball outs. in fact, three in a row now for livan. >> rob: zimmerman takes a bad hop, makes it look easy. it's not. then adam dunn, here is the xmo, picks it up, make this grab. he catches it, picks up his target, fires a strike right to the chest of adam dunn. can you recall a third baseman that does that, kind of turns toward the outfield to catch the ball? >> bob: no. >> rob: unbelievable.

that ball hits to left center.de. >> yeah. >> bob: that's the 5th rbi of the series and 19th of the year and rockies have tied the game. he's got almost half of his rbis against the nationals this year. that ball was hit out to left field on the changeup. i can't figure out a guy with a slow bat and we keep speeding it up by throwing changeups and slow curve ball. 3 of the 8 homers against washington. stewart will be next. he's 5 for 12 on the weekend and riding his 7-game hitting streak. olivo reminds me of that. you throw anything in that zone and he's trying to hit a home run. send us a question at masn.com. there's a 1-2 pitch. great charge there by morris. he made the play much easier and the rockies tie it in the 3rd. tkpwez monday, guzman and zimmerman and it's a 1-1 game. can a smart phone push you to your limits ? can it keep track of your mileage, running times, even you ? informing your friends of how much of your dust they're eating. droid can with runstar. one of thousands of apps that run simultaneous

go in there looking for his ball. can't find the ball, ask beth to help him look for the ball. and as she was there, he'd get down on a knee, bring the ring out, "will you marry me" that's exactly what happened. it worked like a charm. it was beautiful. but then just inspiration of having him on the bag, inside the ropes. inside the ropes is a lot different from watching outside. he was part of the decision making process, how i played the golf course, it was very special time. i wanted to do well for him. >> charlie: you set out to play back farther, or someone said, whether you can go in to your father's business or going to be professional golfer. you decided to be a professional golfer, i have read that you said "i'm going to be the greatest player." >> a little arrogant. >> charlie: did you believe it and why? what is it about tom watson that made that true? you were the biggest money winner, you won as we said british open, the masters and u.s. open, not the pga, yet. i'll give you that. >> growing up actually on my website just went live this last week, my first blog on

count is at a ball and two strikes. trying to find a way to get some hits other than homeruns not that he finds the homers. a couple of hits and 15 at bats coming in and they were both homeruns in may get the single in the second inning. 1-2 delivery. close. 2 balls, two strikes. >> unable to string it together. and that has gotten better as the game has gone on. you can see the break. the inside corner. that just got away. >> 96th by blackburnment he is coming off a complete game 11 hitter last time out. that somehow he managed to throw only 95 pitches. >> gary: here is the 3-2 to scott off the end of the bat. hair ris. relay to first. not in time. slow grounder. >> slow in and make sure you get one. >> gary: runner on fielder's choice 1961. the oriole's jim genteel hit consecutive grand slams. eddie murray was the first major leaguer to have a moment run from both sides of the plate in consecutive games. diving and no. a trapped ball. 3rd base umpire making the call. jones get as base hit. >> look at the replay. it lo

breaking ball. count to 3-2. >> he gets one down the line in right field. headed to foul territory it is not by much, in the corner. lopez in the number 4 spot. this lineup is being juggled. 3s 3-9 with a home run lifetime off hernandez. both of managers are trying to figure out how the get runs. neither team is doing anything in the offensive department. so both have to view this game as being a 1-0 ball game and start that way. 3-2 to left field. reimold coming, coming. he's got it. >> jim: that's why i take about trying to get the first guy out. that's one of the thing that hernandez struggles with. why run the count 3-2 . >> gary: you will see bad numbers in a lot of these hitters for both teams. strike at the knees. 1-1. >> jim: the thing the mariners don't do and they would like to get to road, is hit home runs. they have 12 to year. guttierez has a hit off the last 3. >> they are on at pace to have not only the fewest home runs ever in mariners history, but by 30 fewer. >> jim: the way you hi

that the first area a sinker ball should be look field goal his sinker ball sink something. >> it shoulden you hurt your arm like he did before spring training, you have to start all over. all of a sudden your body just forgets. you try so many different scenarios in your mind to try to find that feel again. you heard him talk about that earlier, the ball felt good or i haven't been able to feel it. once they don't feel it, they start trying five, six, seven, eight different things and next thing you know they're a mess. >> he just told amber he found his feel so let's hope the sinker ball returns. when we come back as the orioles get set for the day night double header, eddie breaks down the pitching match-up when we return. . >>> you know it's like everybody else here amber, what you do is try to knock that starter out and get to that long guy in the bull pen as soon as you can. >> dave trembley on today's match-up. here's the orioles line-up. lugo will be at 22nd base he's a pretty good career hit nert day games and gives the orioles for of a familiar leadoff hitner that no. 1 spot wh

down which he has to do found his changeup and touch on his fast ball swinging more breaking balls and back to the john that last year had 60% quality start tied with josh and best of all of baseball >> his opponent tomorrow, josh johnson >> josh can bring it he is one of the top 10 pitchers in all of baseball, slider that he throws 92 fast ball up to 98, won 15 games last year >> has a tremendous 36 and 17 record over his career 23 of 33 quality starts last year and in those starts 25 times he went six innings plus he's a horse >> he can bring it one hundred miles an hour, 9 miles an hour above what we saw tonight for the month of april, they wind up 13 and 10 let's go back and look at sensational plays from the month of april >> morgan is running it he is in there feet first morgan runs one heading for the score board that ball is on the turf there he goes that ball is driven straight away center scores! got to throw kick range and arm willingham jacks one to center career grand slam number 5 line drive! game over! miracle in left by harris! caught by harris! hi gets a good piece of

the greens are firmer and the balls hard to get stopped.t's not going to be easy. i felt like things started to click a little bit today and i think i have a -- i think i've got one more low round in me. i just hope that it will be enough, that i'll be within striking distance. >> phil mickelson's 66, that's tied for his third best round at the players championship. mickelson looking pretty good as we move on. tiger woods, how about him? one under on the day, 71. he's now at four under for the championship. you could pretty much say this has been up and down for tiger woods. 31 on the front side. two bogeys there. a 36 on the backside, two bogeys. he bogeyed 17 and 18, not the way you want to finish. tiger nontoo please noon too pls up-and-down day. >> i had it going for a little bit. i thought i played kind of -- you know, if i would have birdied 16 and 17, i would have been right back in the tournament. it depends what the leaders do, obviously, but if i would have posted eight, i thought i would have been right there. the wind is all ove

guzman is hitting about .300, a little more than that and puts the ball in play.u look at the lineup today and this is a lineup that the nats are putting out against the left-handed pitcher that only features morgan and olsen. >> the bun thing about guzman, he's not complained about anything this year. he's looking for numbers and his average in different positions he's played! this is only his 4th game as a right fielder. >> thank you very much for joining us here in the nats extra pregame. phil wood, i am johnny holiday, enjoy the game and phil and i will see you after the game.

>> i wouldn't say itn was ball handling. if we were throwing the balletu away, we weren't dribbling. it's more us not being patient. i think when you have team like that that rally plays smothering defense and it's very physical at the same time, you have to just be patient. they tend to rush you. that's just how they play. i think us just seeing plays and open and at the same time guessing for next time, i think once we settled down and played our brand of basketball, we played better but we were really coming from 20 points down at the time if i recall, and that's tough. >> vince you attacked the basket early. if they stay home, is that what you guys have to do to try to get some offense? >> we have to make plays. more than anything take what's there and just try to be aggressive, whatever that means, whether it's getting in the basket and trying to finish our find open guys. they do a great job of contesting and making it tough without fouling. and, you know, that's something you have to learn. >> how tough is it when the

got really lucky on the balls we hit.eat me a second time. >> you go against a guy like ubaldo, do you have to change the way you pitch? >> i go in and pitch my game. you know, nobody is unhittable. so you know, we play better, we win. so you know, we play hard and we try to win the game and you know, he comes in and pitches better than me and won the game. >> so the rockies take the opener today. the first of the day/night double head i have. 6-2 -- header. 3-2 they win it. debbi taylor is at coors field in denver and maybe somebody is stepping forward and taking a giant step to solidify the right field. that would be roger bernadina. >> i think so johnny. it's been a situation of musical chairs out there and roger has had a lot of opportunities, i talked to him about that and being in the lineup on a day-to-day basis. >> just take it day-to-day and i do whatever i can to stay there. right now, things are going good and i want to keep it up and go from there. >> what do you think has been the key? you're on base again th

and you look for the curve ball, take the fast ball and the change up. when you get it.his big you hit it and don't miss it. that's one thing he was referring to and they don't see or listen to the things they talk about. >> speaking of eddie murray he is joining us making his debut he is ours. the o's extra analyst let's go to target field and amber is with eddie murray. >> we're happy to have him here on the preand post game shows. we're talking about slumps seeing adam jones not hitting the way he was supposed to. were you a steady hitter but when were you in the slump what did do you? >> there are a lot of things most people didn't think i took the greatest round of batting practice but especially for a guy that hit on one side along the line you are not having fun. with the dodgers and the other side. and it gives you a different look, you are trying to ease some of the tension. you can group and hit the ball the other way. and you end up and the other way it is a way of staying on the ball longer and you make solid contact. and you add to the swing. that's the way

>> ball: yeah. >> pitts: someone could kill you in that world? >> ball: yeah. >> rojay ball! athlete. he's a "b" student. teacher's say he's not a trouble maker. yet his loyalty to his old neighborhood and his old friends runs deep. how many close friends do you have back in the neighborhood, number-wise? >> ball: around like ten. >> pitts: how many of those guys are going to college? >> ball: i'd say none. >> pitts: a lot of people in your life feel like you're on the fence... >> ball: uh-huh. >> pitts: ...that you could go this way and be successful, go to college, or you could go this way, and end up someplace else. do you feel that at all? >> ball: well, i always feel as though, like, i'm going to graduate from college. when i come to seed, i'm in this world where as though i'm comfortable enough to focus in class, do my homework every day, like, and i'm prepared for college. but i'm just trying to escape that world, like, my outside world. but it's something that's right... that's just holding me up, holding me back. >> pitts: can't let it go? >> ball: i just can't. >> p

nats within a run. 4-3 ball game. top eight. the youngster in.n't allowed a run yet in the big league. correction, he has now allowed one run in the big league. craig tatum in to score. orioles beat the nationals, 5-3. >> we played a great ball game tonight. we got beat. we played good baseball. you know? guzman, harris hit the ball well. we walked seven times or something like that. you know? those are quality at-bats doing the walks. we were in position -- i mean, i am, i am -- much better mood tonight after that loss than i was last night. i've tell you that. >> two more chances against the orioles tomorrow and sunday. wnba hoops -- mystics playing without their best player, beard. they're finding ways to win. ladies hosting new york. trying to get off to a 3-0 start. the forward, leghorn, revealing her got milk ad. pretty cool. before the game, milk does crystal's body good. smith, leghorn. couple pump fakes. gets the lay-up. leghorn, ten points. 11 rebounds. giving washington a one-point lead. new york frying to inbound the ball. lindsay har

morgan thought that the ball went over the fence. josh willingham races to get it, adam jones hustling around the bases inside of the park home run. when asked about it incident niger said "my emotions got to me there because i knew i should have had the ball," but you can't do that craig, and chuck bell says it's a $10,000 fine for that. >> i would think so. >> yeah, well bottom six nats down five they come back. get her done. cristian guzman come in to score. nats take a 7-6 lead. then in the ninth matt capps on to close it out, gets a soft bouncer to third. ryan zimmerman he's soiled. fields this, throws to first to end the game. matt capps 16 for 16 in saves. leads the big leads. here's jim riggleman on nyjer morgan. >> my first instinct was to take him out of the ball game and then i realize you know what, he thinks the ball went over the fence, he thought that he knocked it over the fence, and it's -- you know it's a home run so he's showing frustration that doesn't excuse it, and i don't want it to be perceived as an excuse bu

later on in the ball game. there's another lookout the throw from desmond to adam dunn. 7th inning, is bunt attempt here by dexter fowler and maybe a little gift from the up peer because it looked like guzman was off the bag. but fowler is called out and an out is an out. that brings up -- here we go again as he goes up in the air. >> his foot is there. >> he was safe. the umpire -- blinked, whatever. those things happen. then in the 8th inning, after a strikeout to helton, paul phillips -- i'm sorry, this is the troy -- this is the clint barmes ground out there. this was -- this was basically a game where it wasn't a bad effort. it wasn't a great effort either, but the nationals were in the game until the end. jason hammel pitched fairly well. luis atilano pitched fairly well. it so happened when the winning run scored, one of those things, a throw that probably could have been handled by adam dunn at first base. once the throw hits the ground, the error is on the shortstop. >> jim riggleman rested the bullpen

watch the ball.o mad he throws his glove on the ground but he has no idea the ball is still lodged. morgan had no idea the ball was lodged and that's an inside the park homerun. morgan got a lot of grief. he was trying. he was just mad. >> if he would have gotten that ball, he would have thrown him out. >> we'll be right back. úpp >>> and that is # news for tonight. don't forget wusa9.com always on. >> stay tuned for letterman up next. goodnight. this is unlike any car you've ever seen before. this is power with efficiency. this is an interior that exceeds even the promise of the exterior. this is the all-new jaguar xj. the stunning result of taking a very different road.

his whole life was hitting the ball recalled a boyhood friend.always had that bat in his hand and when he made up his mind to do something, he was going to do it or know the reason why. and i love that phrase because or know the reason why ends up coming back in the book several timing. and to connect with a lot of science. about how people practice and push their open abilities. at san diego's old north park field two blocks from his modest childhood home, friends recall williams hitting baseballs every waking hour of every day year after year after year. they describe him slugging balls until their outer shells wore off. swinging even splintered bats for hours upon hours with blisters on his finger and blood dripping down his wrists. this sounds kind of like a fairy-tale description but them you hear the same details from different people and it turns out to be accurate. and you'll hear some stuff in a second that really backs up this kind of crazy-sounding description. a working class kid with no extra pocket change he used his own lunch money
