brad hawpe, a great arm in right field. the previous two years, they were number one under clint hurdle before jim tracy became the skipper here. they're used to being is topnotch national defensive club. and in '07 when they had the miracle september, went 20-8 and won 14 of the last 15. >> rob: 69 errors. in 162 games. they set a record. and you need some people that can run that outfield too. that veriest on our side has been -- tavares for us. >> bob: atilano to barmes. and two outs here in the 3rd. armed forces day celebrated every year on the third sat in may. created in 1949 to honor americaning serving in the five military branches. army, navy, marines, air force and coast guard. we'd like to thank all past and current members of the united states armed forces for their work and dedication in protecting our country. >> rob: here, here. >> bob: we salute you. two outs, bases empty. nyjer morgan called out on the 2-2 fastball first time. >> rob: even jimenez, so dominant, he was worried about nyger on base. that's why

the ball through the rockies infeed. >> bob: yeah and some day when helton is no longer around, brad hawpetural first baseman will come in there and we know how good he is. only thing that will be wasted about that would be hawpe's arm. hammel staying away from dunn. who's bounced out to first and struck out swinging. brad hawpe, usually a league leader in outfield assists, but nobody's running on him anymore. >> rob: one of the best left- handed arms if major league baseball from the outfield. >> bob: not that many great left-handed right fielders over the years. >> rob: nope. paul o'neill had a cannon, but hurt it back in the late '80s pitching for atlanta. >> bob: one run game, 3-0. >> rob: absolute simply. >> bob: there he goes. he got under it. get up. does it have enough carry? and adam dunn has tied the game on the 3-0 homer. his ninth of the year. career number 325. >> rob: sweet. >> bob: how many would he hit playing 81 games here? >> rob: do you give him the green light? ups store on the pitch track says yes. you saw the mitt way outside, dead central and it looked like adam jamm

brad hawpe on-deck. sean burnett looking at one lefty after another here. and right back through the box. desmond is there. throws -- out! no -- dunn dropped the ball. it was a long hop that appears to be okay for adam dunn and he couldn't squeeze it. rockies take the lead. a lot of hop that one, rob. that ball has got to be caught. >> rob: ground ball, it's deflected by burnett or else it would have been a base hit. little backhand scoop right there by adam dunn and he knows he should have made the play. he thought it was going to be more a bang bang play, but he had plenty of time to make that catch. >> bob: the official scorer hasn't posted anything yet. i would imagine he's trying to decide between error on the throw or error on the drop. doesn't matter, the rockies lead 4-3 now and here's hawpe. desmond got to that ball in plenty of time and just didn't get a whole lot on the throw. he was in full stride with that range of his. this ball, high in the air and heading out of play. >> rob: this one's got to be the toughest thing for sean burnett too. you'

that scores brad hawpe.res giambi and stewart. and that was the ball game right there, johnny. they got the nats out in the top of the 9th. >> 6-10-0 for colorado. the three runs inthe 8th inning off of bruney. hiplines gets the win. he has -- jimenez gets the win. he has the most wins ever for a rocky through 35 games. hernandez lost both times, both of the losses to colorado. bruney, two innings and a walk and two home runs. adam dunn goes deep, an upper deck shot. his eighth of the year. stewart and barmes, 2-4 and two rbis apiece. bruney felt good, but not one of his better days. >> it wasn't my day, you know, i mean i go out there and i give the same effort every single day. it's hard for me to find a reason today why i wasn't any good. the effort level and if focus is there. i mean, i have to chalk that up as not a good day for me. >> he's got a good arm. too many times, first hitter walks, second hitter, walked. almost got out of it. but you know, it just wasn't good enough and it was a tough situatio

. >> well, brad hawpe, great job right there waiting out clip pardon and driving to the outfield.hits about .375. this is the 4th drive of the game. clippard is the loser and we'll be back with more. >>> tough lose for the nats today, they lose 2-1. a great pitching outing by olsen and great pitching by francis. great pitchers dual. the rain out did the area good for this series. >> thank you, johnny and thank you, ray. yeah, the nats got the only run early and couldn't generate anything after the third hit of the game when they led 1-0. we'll get you going at 7:30 p.m. this has been a presentation of masn. stay tuned now. nats extra coming up next from the booth in colorado. so long. >>> welcome everybody. it's the nats postgame. first time this year, the nats have lost two consecutive ball games, 2-1. they were not able to move the runner up and fowler got the job done for the colorado rockies moving the runners into scoring position with the sacrifice slide. >> go back to the nationals 7th and here we are in the 7th inning, and this is fowler putting down the bunt and it's a go

brad hawpe is a good hitter but it's a lefty-lefty matchup and you have to challenge him to put the ballay here with tulowitzki on deck at this stage in the game. cubs scored a run and lead the pirates 4-3 in the 8th. olsen keeps throwing strikes. dodgers are over .500 and have won 6 in a row and start the day only 3 games behind the team they are playing, the padres. rockies right now are backup behind san diego. olsen is taking a long time and the hitter is getting time. got him on a 3-2 pitch that hawpe took and his first 2 strike outs of the day come in the 6th. it's 1-1 now. 7th inning is coming up. so, verizon fios includes cool widgets like facebook, twitter, even access to youtube right on your tv, instead of crowding around your computer. hey -- have you seen the walking ham? walking... the ham's got boots on... i'm not sure i have. or the soapy monkey? oh, my husband's on youtube. oh, honey, we really don't... oh come on. it's so funny. the man's busy... you're daddy on little girl's bike? no, i'm not. let's cue it up.

brad hawpe is next. >> bob: this is one of the fastest in the national league.se it down a lot before the game but they have to. the ball struck in front of the plate yesterday and went over the grass and struck the dirt near 2nd base. i don't think i've seen that on a baseball field. it went all the way out to 2nd base. >> bob: morgan had again jiminez yesterday. -- had one against jiminez yesterday. 1-1 count. i want to go back to gonzalez against olsen. gonzalez came in today hitting .381 off lefties. he's in there pretty well against lefties that makes it fun for tracy. they have willingham and zimmerman they stick in there against the lefties. a lot of people have trouble hitting against lefties. good breaking ball and hawpe fowl tipped it. guzman is in right field. willingham back in there. and gonzalez up the middle and desmond and morris at the right corner across from zimmerman. rodriguez is back in. hawpe is hitting .286 off lefties and .353 off righties. >> bob: 2-2 pitch. gonzalez to demonday, 4, 6, 3 as the nats have a good defensive linemen out the
