i think dave trembley can use him any where he wants him.o have a guy can quality pitches that could be the closer. jim johnson, look what it does for his ballgame. he's virtually unhittable. you can tell hitters that the sinker is coming, they still can't think when they have that much movement. just a matter of chris ray getting a little bit more on top and driving the ball down in the strike zone, and i think he'll be back to where he was before he ever got hurt. >> interesting. interesting to say the least. the orioles number one draft choice from this past draft the couple of weeks was named the player of the year by "usa today". drafted by the orioles as pitcher 11-1 with a 0.92. hobgood as a hitter hit .475 with 21 home runs the most by any high school player in the country and drove in 55 runs. hobgood's fastball has been clocked at 95. orioles should be announcing hobgood's signing in a couple of days. when we come back, we'll have rick dempsey's scouting report jason berken and ricky nolasco. that story coming up on "o's xtra" brou

joined now by dave trembley, the manager of the orioles. dave, this is a tough game. this were a couple of errors in the game but really several mental mistakes that hurt your chances to pull out a win. >> the momentum of the game was on our side in the first inning and we gave it back to them. i think anybody who watched the game tonight saw what happened and it just really was unfortunate situation because it really took the air right out of the ball for us. you know, it was hard for us to come back. which came back. got close. came within one run. need add shutdown inning after that. didn't happen. needed a couple more things to go our way and it didn't. this is a game where obviously you learn a great deal from. hopefully, it doesn't happen again. you go out tomorrow night and play rabach better game. that's with a we need to do right from the beginning. we just had a lot of the success we've had recently is because we've played very good baseball and we played all 27 outs. we gave some outs away tonight. that really was the difference of the game. that's about as

dave trembley looking on from the orioles bench. a pop foul out of play. so, now, six pitches into the at-bat, brian has seen pretty much everything that west can throw. >> buck: yeah, he's a big, strong kid. they're going to watch his pitch count. he's only gofn over 100 pitches once three starts ago against the giants in an eight-inning, two-hit effort. >> jim: another pitch to roberts. he got a lot of it, but foul. orioles have lost two in a row. as buck mentioned, they are 3-2 now on the trip. a 4-2 trip if you had said that before heading to philadelphia, you would have said to dave trembley, hey, how did 4-2 go, he'd say ok. here is the 3-2. swing and a miss. he got him on a wreabl. very -- breaking ball. very good pitch by west. one away in the oriole first. >> buck: one thing you don't expect when you're facing a young starter is a 3-2 hook in your first at-bat. he drops his slider on him. a very good slider and a -- in a good spot down and in. brian swings over the top of it. west has a good fastball at 94 miles per hour and a good late, breaking

that's just the way the game goes. >> dave, we appreciate the visit. >> all righty. >> manager dave trembley joining us. the athletics complete the three game sweep. back to the studio. >> and the dave trembley interview brought to you by verizon wireless. >>> and now, rick, when you look at adom jones batting leadoff and reimold batting second and the night before it was different. is it acts of desperation to get them going. >> that's a major shake up. when reimold is hitting second and you're number one guy is hitting .340, over that at this point in the season, he's the leadoff guy and got two hits today but had nobody on base in front of him. dave is trying everything. i feel sorry for him. i've been there and managed seven years myself. i know you have to do those kind of things but having to do it two days in a row is uncalled for. it's just too bad that they just can't seem to find something going because they are an excellent hitting ball club. >> when we come back we'll talk about six all-stars from the frederick keys. that comes up next when we continue our coverage after the a's

but the kitchen sink and that's what dave trembley did. he at least tied this ballgame and gave the club a chance to win. all of the players ready to do a good job. all of the pitchers are anxious to get their pinch hit. guthrie was the only one with hill. if the orioles hadn't made that one base-running mistake, they had a chance of winning this ballgame on that fly ball to left field, possibly scoring a run with a sacrafice fly. >> and koji uehara pitched a pretty good game until he was taken out there. >> he did. he has been struggling to get deep in ballgames. you can see him laboring through the hot water. -- weather. he is just not used that youd to that now. a pretty good job on the part of koji to get the ball club deep in that game. >> again, the orioles lose to the florida marlins 7-6 in the first of three in florida. and let's go back down to south florida to jim hunter and buck martinez. >> thank you very much. really an exciting game, especially when the orioles fell he behind 6-1. chris ray returned to the emand he immediatel

dave trembley coming up.ed wednesday as the orioles battle the florida marlins. ? it we go to the third. marlins in the above the tom of the first have a 2-0 lead. verizon wireless wired wednesday, dave trembley nice enough to join us from the orioles dugout. dave, i'm curious. this is your last series of the interleague games on the road. with a manager as a streamg, how are you enjoying managing with the other league's rules? >> we enjoyed t it gets everybody in the game. you get to use a lost guys on the bench who have done a great job for us. it's a different style of baseball. i've enjoyed it. >> buck: yeah, you played very well at 9-4. dave, obviously the game didn't start the way you wanted to see your pitcher start. leadoff walk then you get an error and hanley ramirez. you give these rbi guys chance, i guess you've got to appreciate jason berken minute miegz the damage in the first inning. >> hopefully, that's it and we can recover from the big mistake we made in the first in

the marlins have -- >> buck: dave them bring using his score card reminding him who is in and who isut and things happen in a hurry and you have to do a lot of crossing out and rewriting positions and who is available. >> jim: ground ball to short and testing wigginton right away and one down. there are two players left on the marlins' bench. carroll came on defensively and he is in hermida's spot, i think. they could have put the pitcher in there, although that spot coming up before the pitcher, so it is likely that carroll is in the number five spot in the lineup. there is fred drink gonzales on the other side. >> buck: freddy still has amezaga, de aza and paulino, three players on their bench. >> jim: so andrew miller who watched his team score five in the bottom of the seventh to watch his team have the 6-1 lead now pitches for a no decision. he misses the chance for a win. just missed outside. >> buck: i can bet you when andrew miller left the ballgame, everyone on the ballgame said okay, we're in the bullpen now, let's do something, and, boy, did they ever. just one hit. >> jim

. >>> coming up on "o's xtra", dave trembley has changed the lineup once again. can it spark the orioles offense and get them going? we'll let you know what young arms will be representing the orioles in the all-star futures game as well as give you an in- depth look at two young shore birds. orioles rich hill will toe the rubber tonight as the birds try to salvage one game in south florida. all that and more coming up right here on masn. >>> welcome to an evening of orioles baseball. it's the orioles and florida marlins in game three of the three-game series. "o's xtra" on masn brought to you by at&t. your world delivered. o's lost two in a row including last night 5-2 setback. tonight, orioles send rich hill to the mound. marlins send lester sean west to the mound. he's 3-2 with an earned run average of 3.97. hello, everyone. tom davis can rick dempsey in our masn studios a half hour before the orioles take on the marlins in the third and final game of the three-game series. orioles conclude this road trip of interleague play tonight. they are 9-5 against the n

we thank dave also presented by verizon wireless. a lot of fireworks. sometimes the announcers have to get out early for the fireworks. when we come back we'll look at the american league high lights. we'll show you what tampa bay did today against the yankees. that story up next when we continue o's x tra post game show here on masn. >>> welcome back to our masn studios. orioles lose to the oakland a's 9-4. birds now drop six of their last zone games. ya son giambi came through with a three run double. three run homer from reimold. his sixth since he came up to the orioles. did see the ball rolling around there. take a load down on the farm report tonight. norfolk lost to toe lee doe. three for four with a home run and rbi. third home run of the season. now three home run in the game. frederick won over same im. game one beat lakewood 3-2. avery 3-3 with a run scored. lakewood beat dell mar have in game two. high score of six. that's a look at our down on the farm report. speaking of down on the farm, sees coming up the line and trying to get with the

but dave said cesar is expected to be about out two to three weeks maybe more. tomorrow we should see him move to the d.l. we're getting word it will be oscar called up in his place. in the meantime he isn't a shortstop, robert will get the start at shortstop. something he's excited about. he's looking forward to getting into the groove. since coming to the orioles he has not been an every day player. he's not had a chance to get successive bats and days. something he's looking forward to. it's been difficult for him in the american league. he was used to the national league. he was with the marlins last year. he said in the national league you have a chance to play every day even if you don't start. that's not the case with the american league. and he talked more about that with me earlier. >> national league you probably could get to bat almost maybe every day because you always have to hit for the pitcher. here maybe once a week or twice a week. it's hard. stay in shape. keep with routines and watch a lot of video. >> reporter: getting prepared. obviously las

and dave trembley struggling to figure out where he goes next.bullpen is going to start to work. and it hit him. suzuki hit by a pitch. that will force in a run. jack cust will come in. so three consecutive walks and a hit batter and thisinning is really beginning to deteriorate for rich hill. a based loaded walk and a bases loaded hit. this is bobby crosby coming up. the 7th batter in this inning. and that one is low. >> now it's really difficult for rich hill because the umpire, he's not seeing too many strikes and he's not going to get the borderline calls. >> and there is a strike. 1-1. the athletics in the game on friday night against jeremy guthrie scored 6 in the bottom of the 1st. guthrie lasted two-thirds of an inning. and last night it was one run in the first against berken but then four in the third and four in the fourth. and so the athletics a team that has not hit much on the year. last in the league in average, really have found their strokes against the orioles starting pitching in this series. and that ball is lined foul down th

this morning i was watching tom davis, phil wood and dave johnson doing their radio stuff. in the minor leagues you're hitting 4th, here you're hitting 7th or 8th because you're not going to knock markakis or aubrey huff out of that 3-4 area. >> jim p.: reimold had one of those great springs. he led the team with six home runs. he quieted things down when he came back up. he can let the ball travel a little bit longer, pitch recognition. steve out to have a little conversation. >> rob: and this won't be a pretty one either. it will be one of the things i've talked to steve about is challenging people with your best stuff. not getting beat with your second or third best pitch. but if you fall behind every hitter, you're going to get killed. you can't pitch like that at the big league level. >> bob: you were talking about hoping a young pitcher doesn't think too much. i'm wondering, here's a guy after seven starts was 5-0, over his last seven starts, hasn't won. >> rob: jack armstrong was with me in cincinnati. he won 11 games in the first half of the season and one in the se

and dave trembley obviously concerned.uehara might be returning to the rotation. >> gary: the early goings are tough for jeremy. once he gets past the early part of the game, he settles down but you can't give that many runs and hope that your team will come up and pick up the slack. runner at first base, nobody out. giambi is hitting the baseball. he has had homers in back-to- back games, american league f vp for the a he is, five-time all-star, three-time on base leader, bark with the ball club. down to first. that will be a foul ball. >> buck: went to new york as a free agent, signed a 7-year deal with the yankees with designs on playing in the world series. that never happened. he never really got it together there. they brought in sheffield, giambi, a lot of free agents but it never came together for them. >> gary: giambi will take that for a strike. the homer off guthrie is the 14th he has surrendered. started the game second high in homers given up and cust jumped on it, really launched one. oh, that hit guthrie. it

dave said sfarls i know right now, we are not discussing putting him in the bullpen.is a starter for us. we're going to try to keep him there in thele all-star break and we'll re-evaluate. jim? >> jim: amber, thank you very much. this is one of the things about this organization now, buck, that is such a better problem, if you will. we know there are more prospects on the way. david hernandez has been here and he's gone back. if koji's role is better suiteeventualfully for a long relief job because we have seen it. we talked abounumbers last night. the first time through the lineup, he is just outstanding. the boants opponents are batting just .211 against him. once he hits that fifth inning, he runs out of gat bo -- gas. >> buck: last couple

at this point dave trembley will settle for any pitcher, lefty, righty, that can get three outs.of the great relief pitchers, it is never somebody who can only get out lefties or righties. they could get out anyone. the hope is that chris ray can be that guy in the seventh inning and match-ups are overrated anyway. they're not going to worry about that any longer. mark hendrickson once in a while can be that guy. we saw it the other night when he came in. but they primarily see him as a long reliever as billion. you just go with anyone, left, right, whatever, just get three outs. >> i know that chris ray, as long as he has that sinker down and away. it is almost like a left-handed slider it moves so much. but another guy that is raising a lot of attention now, robert andino at shortstop. he is almost showing that he can be a regular on a lot of ball clubs. >> i don't want to be a debbie downer because he has lookeded good, certainly compared to when he had his first stint when izturis was day the day with his groin injury. he looked really shaky in the field. i'm not ready to ano

dave trembley is going pretty good with him what that call was. melvin is insistent that the ball hit the bat and he's trying to show them where it hit the bat. >> jim: it's been a tough couple of weeks. endy chavez tipped for one of the balls he hit. called it interferencement didn't get home run even though it was interference. >> gary: melvin is really upset about this and so is dave trembley because he is going to be called out, has been called out. i think he's upset now that you didn't see it. because the initial call was not that he was out. it was only after the conference with the umpires which is fine. the umpires should do that to make sure they get it right. melvin is very close to getting heaved out of the ballgame here. he's going to be out of there and not happily so. watch what happens after. the ball hits. >> jim: watch brian schneider. he's look where the ball is because the ball is live. they called it the way they have. you see him drop under it. i think that got a little bit of bat too. >> gary: the ball is not going to go tha

he was change to dave trembley. i was red-hot and didn't get to play. >> gary: you want guys complaining to you. melvin i guess wants to stay in. he's putting the glove back on. it looked like that hurt when he was touched. >> jim: and that's his throwing hand. it will be something you'll have to monitor. if you're richie van sells, the orioles head trainer, you're wondering, ok. is it starting to swell? do we have to get ice on it? do we need to take an x-ray to see if it's broken? >> gary: the umpires are meeting. i think they'rtalking about whethe should be a hit batter or foul ball. the call was foul ball. jeff kellogg asked for tim timmons and rob drake at first and third to come in and talk with him about it as to what they saw. mora is going to try to stay in. >> jim: i'm wondering are they going to call him out because the ball hit his hand and didn't hit the bat. >> gary: that's what he's talking about. >> jim: yeah. i don't know if the out was ever put out. the ball was live. they're going to call him out.

we'll go back to the strikeout call that dave trembley was asked about. as we watch this video, pay particular attention to jeff kellogg the home plate umpire. as melvin swings, watch his arms. he signals foul ball. >> he does. the ball runs in on melvin. he's trying to do everything he can to turn the opposite way. most hitters tush their -- turn their shoulders into it let the ball hit him. melvin tries to turn away. the ball hits his hand and the bat at the same time. the umpire sees all hand. as the swing went around as we saw the swing, it's an automatic out if you swing at a ball and it hits any part of your body at the same time. >> what was interesting about that is if he saw all hand, why did the umpire put his hands up to sinning signal foul ball unless it was one of the base umpires that said wait a minute i saw it hit his hand. >> more like almost a time-out call i would have to say at the same time because it really wasn't much of a foul ball. yes, he did kind of indicate foul ball at the time, but i think really what he was trying to do was

talking with dave before the ball game chatting about baseball stuff. one of the things that something lou piniella said to me last week the season. 3-2 delivery on the way. shattered. gets the out. suzuki is retired and there's one away. two orioles out and about on tuesday you can see rich hill espn zone inner harbor. meeting from noon to 1:00. on wednesday adam jones signing autographs on wednesdays on west nursery road. that will be from noon to 1:00 as well. for details on appearances, visit orioles reach.com. >> buck: good opportunity to go out and meet a couple upbeat guys on this team. rich hill with his first season with the orioles off to a great start looking to improve upon his 2-0 start. certainly adam jones one of the bright spots. >> gary: cunningham against baez. he says he'd use the season in terms of ten game segments. talked to dave about it today and said i do too and never told anybody that because i thought it was crazy doing it. i said it was lao to you may have been right on both counts. he says i've always done that. ten game si

dave trembley said before the game today. not real confident.bout lefty, righty match-ups. and just looking at who may be best. >> jim: hendrickson started the -- hendrickson came in, last time he pitched, friday night he did give up the home run to a right-hander. but not great numbers. .298, lefties against him. but the only lefty all year long you've really been able to rely on is your closer. he's been lights out. sherrill, lefties are 3 for 29. everybody else has been a little bit of a struggle. >> gary: cora's up, bases loaded. orioles lead by one. mets threatening. the breaking ball will miss outside. on at third base, murphy who delivered a single. after the home run by sheffield. schneider followed with his own single at second. the walk to castillo who is on at first. bass worked only a third of an inning. gave up a home run, three hits. taken for a strike. the count goes to 2-1. >> jim: huff in at first. if there's a sharp ground ball, i imagine he'll come home with a one run lead. >> gary: orioles trying to protect it a bit here in t

also, dave trembley today was whether johnson would be considered as a starter one day, dave shot that idea down kind of, but said with his the way he's able to put behind him. him as a closer. >> jim: i thought jim made a in her having to be every day so you can be more fresh and effective. this game, with everybody slotting and you have your role, we're going to go here, going to be there. bergesen pitches a complete game, every is off on sunday, if can resist going to those guys too often, they can be more was just last night. >> you just don't want to get the bullpen for too long amount of time. mean jim probably has the best sinker in the major leagues, national league. he's on, it's very hard. sometimes even 94 miles an hour, and a very, very hard sink. if per hour there, whether he's throwing a curveball or not. only way to tell. a curveball would be in the low 80s, but johnson, that fastball is working, and i say in baseball is a sinking fastball, not just a and he's got that fast set it up for the save, and the orioles picked up the win setting up the rubber game the three-gam

dave trembley mentioned pitch location.w and what you saw, everything he was doing was throwing, not pitching. everything was down the middle. >> rick: yes, jeremy was just throwing down the middle. all of these pitches are belt high. this was in the a bad pitch but right down the hole. very lucky. and then a line drive off the forearm, very lucky that he didn't have some kind of problem on that. x-rays have to be taken. here is another good pitch and it find a hole up the middle. a little bad luck, at the same time, as a lot of bad pitches. >> >> jim: so jeremy guthrie goes 2/3 of and inning. 9 batters came to bat against guthrie and he retired only 2 of those. 7 hits, allowed 6 earned runs. he throws just 29 pitches in the one inning and he is bounced out and suffers the loss. he is now 4-5 on the year. when we kin on o's xtra presented by verizon fios, we'll check out the minor league scoreboard from tonight. brian matusz was on the mound as the keys plays a double header. ( music playing throug) - it's on. - oh, it's on

dave trem plea is trembley is on his way out. for -- dave trembley is on his way out. for jeremy guthrie, it's been a disaster, he's going to go out. guthrie has given up six runs here, jaws real tough night. and took a line drive off his arm. so the orioles lose their starter here in the 1st inning. it is now up to the pen. 2 down here notice 1st. boss: but i think there are a few other things you can say about what a reliable company geico is. -- in the 1st. right. uh, well maybe how geico's the third-largest car insurance company in america? nice tidbit there. boss: exactly. and i've been thinking, looking a bit more businesslike might help too. gecko: oh my. uhhh, no it's, what's, what's the word... vogeico. 15 minutes could save you 15 percent or more on car insurance. . >> gary:  before there was to do anything, it was over. 2/3 of an inning is the shortest. hendrickson now out of the bullpen. >> buck: hendrickson came in relief of david hernandez in seattle. >> gary: runner at first base with two down. and a chopper to short. andino who is there makes the pl

dave trembley did say this is a big blow. dave says it's going to be very difficult to replace cesar izturis. in other news, a lot going on today. as jim and rick mentioned, jamie walker has been released. he is a ten-year veteran. it was very difficult to make but it had to be made, really if you look at the numbers as dave trembley said. jamie was supposed to be a left hander specialist and left handers were hitting .450 against him. but it was very difficult because people liked jamie walker. he was very popular. jamie burke told me that nobody reached out to him early on but jamie walker. that's something that had to be discussed over the last few days. you know, obviously, his last appearance in seattle was the one that finallized it. walker was a great teammate and a tremendous person on the club for us. he totalllly understood and, yo know, we just left it at that. but i'm -- we'll miss what he brought other than, you know, just out there pitching because, like i said, he was a great teammate. he earned a lot of respec

manager dave trembley meeting with the media. >> koji really battling to keep the score what it was. i think that's all very apparent to everybody that saw the game, but i like the fight that we showed tonight and a real determination. we made a lot of nice plays. hendrickson got the double play. there was an awful lot of contributions to us winning the game tonight. like i said before, you know, it was a big game for us, especially coming back from last night. evening up the home stand now and getting a chance to go into the plus column with the game tomorrow. this is a good one to enjoy for everybody. you got to feel real good about some guys who stepped up tonight and really i think turned the corner. not only for themselves, but for the ball club. >> wieters one of those guys that turned the corner tonight? >> oh, i don't know. i think he's -- i think every team i plays he's learning and growing and getting better. there's so much probably going on so fast for him right now, but i'm sure later on tonight, tomorrow, he'll be able to enjoy some of the things that happened for him t

turn on radio, tom and dave still talking about t we'll see you tomorrow night.

dave trembley joining us on our wired wednesday. and that ball is popped up, shallow center field. beltran coming. and he'll get there.  >> gary: it is am add jones bobblehead night here at the yard. notorious for those bubbles going, just about in any situation at any time, including catches like that, that will be remembered on a bobblehead like this. being given to the first 25,000 fans that came in tonight. as his agent, i just want to advise, all of the makers of gum in which you can blow bubbles with, we are always available to talk and discuss a deal where you can run video of adam blowing bubbles on the field. >> jim: you are a caring guy, aren't you? >> gary: i am a caring guy. that's going to be a base hit. a great bunt to start it out, and of all people, ryan church. >> jim: we talk about bunting. could be anybody. if they give it to you, take it. look where melvin is. he just looked down there. now, the question is can you execute it. i can't imagine, when we talked about you've got to hit 80 straight curveballs, that the mets don't work on these kind of

he has been an excellent long middle guy for dave trembley. you can go back to his performance in oakland coming into the first inning in relief of rich hill and pitching fur and 2/3 innings, his longest stint of the season. >> jim: he hasn't been in a game since last wednesday against the mets at camden yards. 2-1 is the count on baker. he plants and he throws and he got him. one down. nicely done by brian roberts on the high chopper. >> buck: he had a little extra time with the catcher running, so he had time to plant the foot and make the strong throw. it is all part of the process here. he knows he has potential running. he takes a little extra time to plant, fire a strike to aubrey huff. >> jim: there is alejandro de aza batting for the first time. we saw him peek down to third base there to see where mora was and he showed bunt anyway. melvin was just in on the grass and de aza gave him a peek to see if he might be able to lay down the bunt. he fouled off his foot and 0-2. de aza is batting .235 in his 15th game and is 4-17.  on

something dave would like to see more patient. but it's kind of contradictory. at the same time it's tough to hit balls that are borderline strikes. >> gary: last time the orioles went two consecutive games without a walk was june of '07. ground ball to short. cabrera. cahill's getting the ground balls we were talking about in this inning. two away. and gregg zaun will face him. zaun back in today the catching in tonight's ball game. have the back up role and get a game plus a week maybe. hitting .306 in his last 14 starts including five multihit games in those starts. obvious an adjustment as he now rather than playg every day and having all those at bats try and hit one out of six days or so. cahill's delivmisses down low. 2-0. >> buck: you really have to work extra hard when you're not playing especially when you're seeing a pitcher like cahill for the first time. make sure you get in a lot you have conditioning work because you're not getting a game in. in for a strike. ill get that 2-1. cahill has had a no decision in his last start against the white sox an

. >> i think what dave trembley really liked about it is bergesen wasn't on the top of his game. again, if you hang around long enough and the orioles comes up with eight runs in the sixth inning, they get 16 hits with ties their high for the season, but the important thing, one run in 20 innings down in florida. they get swept, they come back here, they love to play at home, they're five games over .500. >> so bob and rob, it's all about trying to get a series to do that the nats need to bounce back tonight. >> they'll try to do it with a rookie pitcher, he's been in those streaks where one pitch or one inning has been deciding his wins and losses. >> he has to go out there and battle for a team that pretty much destroyed his team last night. it was more like a battle of the belt loop last night. the nationals need to come out strong tonight or they're going get swept under the rug again tonight. >> manny's defense not that great lately. cristian guzman dh's tonight. >> alberto gonzalez is a great contact guy. he can get on base, he can do a lot of things. then you get speed beh

dave eggers, he has done so much with his reading and tutoring centers throughout the nation and hase so much for publishing for writers and kids. i said, how did you get that way? and i heard myself. i remembered so vividly that i had been sitting at studs house with ed curve, e.l. doctorow and dr. row was talking about his own life instead said, how did you get that way? doctorow said nobody has really ask me that. and, i realized that studs has given me this gift, kind of internalized his world view. >> dave eggers thanks eeyore this mardis human being he has ever met now. >> what do you think paul? >> intellectuals, but writers and so forth of which this conference is rightly famous, book festival is rightly famous, have one big fights in my opinion and that is we tend to look past people. thinking about ideas. i think this is more a male flies then a female vice but we tend to look back because we are trying to get some abstraction or 50 abstraction into them and vice versa. whereas, in my view and again going back to my years and years of teaching but also doing oral histories,

. >> jim: dave trembley looking for a win to hopefully make it six consecutive wins.hey're 9-3 in the national league and the orioles are now 9-9 in the many of june. >> buck: now it is time for the pnc scouting report for the big left-hander andrew miller. he is 6'7" and comes out of the university of north carolina. he has a fastball, slider and changeup. there are many moving parts to his delivery. control can be a real concern. but when he is on and when he is pitching down in the zone, he does a heck of a job of keeping the ball in the ballpark. he doesn't give up many home runs, just two this season. he has an electric arm. the problem has been his command. he was originally drafted by the tigers. he made his major league debut with the tigers in yankee stadium a couple of years ago. and then he was traded down here as part of that dontrelle willis and miguel cabrera big trade. defensively the marlins have had problems. only two teams in the national league have committed more errors than the marlins. they have committed 56. and in the outfield is coghlan, ross

texas host:, good morning for dave mccurdy. caller: i was self-employed and at the time was unemployed, i tried to deal with chrysler finance to get them to go down on my payments, adjusted just them a little bit more so they can afford to make the payments. why should i want to give the money to chrysler, chevrolet, everybody else, and chrysler is going up on the cars, you need more money to put a downpayment on the cars. i am for the u.s. cars, white will i help them when they don't want help me? -- why should i help them when they don't want to help me? chrysler and other companies treating people getting unemployed and laid off? host:, prepaying, what kind of car? caller: to about six during go, and i pay $735 a month -- 2006 durango. guest: chrysler and gm were challenged with their financing arm for a while but now they have gmac that controls both of those, and that is something obviously consumers have to deal with. host: "the financial times" talks about chrysler investors try to foil the fiat deal. what is your take o

dave plaid it clear before the game, in the event of a rain delay, he would not put koji back out on the mound after that delay. he said also with the day off yesterday that his bullpen and his long men are very well rested. they can come in and pick up the innings. right now in center field, i'm seeing a little bit of a cloud break and that is good news as koji uehara rolls on here in the fifth. >> amber, thank you very much. our resident meteorologist. she kid a fine job there because we can't see. we're in up ther deck here in the football stadium, it is hard to see except a little bit beyond center field and there is a good look at the sky and the twilights. the lights are just beginning to take effect. >> buck: the reason dave trembley didn't want to think about bringing koji uehara back after a rain delay is he has had some leg problems. you get loosened up. you warm up. pitch an inning, two, three, whatever it is, and then you cool down waiting out the rain delay. and one real problem in this ballpark is how cold the clubhouses are. when you go out and sit outside and play in

i met dave eckert pentagon where he was the regular warfare adviser to the 2005 quadrennial review. since then he served successively as chief counterterrorism adviser at the state department as counterinsurgency adviser to general david petraeus during the surge of troops to iraq and special adviser for counter insurgency to secretary state condoleezza rice. having seen the influence he exerted on american counter insurgency and counterterrorism, policy and practice the past four years i can confidently state no foreign citizen has done more for the united states and a time of war since colonel thaddeus helped army liberated shores some 200 years ago. the two davids will discuss for about 30 minutes before turning to questions from you, the audience, about another 30 minutes and once the australian is thirsty we will adjourn to the foyer. having known him a while. [laughter] when he is really thirsty dave is going to sign books in the back and the rest of us will have a beer and if everyone could help him and make sure that he always has a beard, too, that would be much appreciated

dave is one of the best people in the world at this. he holds his b.a., m.a. and ph.d.but he left there to go to the university of oklahoma for 9 1/2 years and delaware, which is the only institution, by the way, in the united states that actually gives a ph.d. in climatology wanted him back at that program and that's why he is there now. david, your commentary.

-- weams ranking member dave camp who has based his -- ways and means dave camp. he says, quote, the facts are plain and clean. the president's pledge is broken. the president has repeatedly stated that married couples earning $250,000 or less would not face a raise in taxes. it will not help families making more than $42,000 or individuals making as little as $23,000. increasing americans' fuel and utility bills in this recession is not only bad policy but it completely ignores the hardships millions of americans are already facing. this is dangerous legislation in desperate need of closer view, end quote. republicans want energy independence for americans, and we can have it, but not under this cap and tax bill. and, madam chairman, i'd like to point out one other issue that's before the congress recently and that is money for the i.m.f., the international monetary fund in the supplemental bill. what they -- what the democrats want to do is cut $5 billion from our troops in order to fund the i.m.f. and because any i.m.f. member country may apply for these loans,

. >> rob: and they dave up a first rounder in dellmont young for matt garza. so, remember, they used their draft wisely. >> bob: so brain santiago, upton and crawford, three consecutive draft choices, may be batting here in the 5th inning. upton singled, steal two bases last time up. and, of course, we have not talked much about the man who engineered the amazing season last year. he was 524 years of age then, manager joe maddon. he is now in his 30th year in professional baseball, 16th in the major league. he managed the angels before this. manager of the year last year. and he really only managed the angels part of three different years when different managers were dismissed. as a player, he was a catcher who never got above a ball. and a lot of great baseball guys don't. >> rob: well, jim hickey, the pitching coach, he was the mastermind in houston for all those great pitching years that got them to the world series. dave martinez was on my team in cincinnati for many years, actually a former montreal expo that was a pain in my neck when he was hitting. exc

. >> well i was in an 18 slump at the time and had a nice day off and dave trembley told me i would have the day off and i came to the field showing up relaxed and -- and he said take some time off and came early and saw some things on video that helped me out. at the time i was going through my struggles and before the pitch was coming, my foot was up and i was coming out here and i was -- before the ball even got to the plate, i was already -- the weight is gone off my back side and all i got here is this. not going to be very successful that day. what king saw, terry crowley, when i was going good last year, everything was here, we were getting a nice load back here and stay here and as the ball is coming, i would stay here and then as i swing, transfer a little bit of weight to the front and that's what got me going. and it's just amazing how as a hitter, you don't see that stuff or feel that stuff as you're at the plate. but when you have somebody else tell you and show you, it makes all of the difference in the world. >> one of the theories that i think is really so good about this

here is dave trembley coming out. and we'll get brian bass in the first inning. so another starter goes just two-thirds of an inning. so he asked weiters, wasn't that a strike? so rich hill will leave. brian bass coming on. trying to keep this a 3-0 game. ♪ ♪ i always feel like somebody's watching me. ♪ (announcer) it's right here, it's easy... ♪ always feel like mebody's watching me. ♪ ...it's the money you could be saving with geico. ♪ who's watching? ♪ i always feel like (announcer) it's right here, it's easy... ♪ somebody's watching me. ...it's the money you could be saving with geico. >> jim: rich hill out two- thirds of an inning. and there is the line for the starters in this series. 18 earned runs in four and two- thirds for guthrie, berken and hill and the three men on base are hill's responsibility. and there is a strike to gregorio petit. brian bass comes on and inherits three men on. bass has been pitching very well. and two down and the bases loaded. and line down the rightfield line. slicing, foul. orioles got a break there. davis, the trail runne

dave not a lot more shuffling he can do with this line up really.ing to shake it up a little bit. it worked a lit. now it's up to the players. they're going to have to find a way to make it work. >> when you fall behind 9-0 after four innings it's difficult. dig down deep. baseball you play so many games you can't allow one or two games to affect your overall approach. they're going to have to dig down deep and reverse trend on sundays. they have not played well in season finales or particularly on sundays. >> regroup and try to get one out of this and head back home with a w. back to you. >> just take a moment. stay there. we want to congratulate both of you for your emmy for the play by play coverage. congratulations. >> well done. >> thank you very much. >> we appreciate your work throughout the entire masn television network. >>> when you look back at this game for a moment it's one of those games where again the orioles are down so early that it just is so tough to get back into. >> it is. berken had one of those nights. that's been his worst o

by the time they got those runs in the ninth inning, the ballgame had pretty much run away from davembley's team because of the error and the three unearned runs. gives themselves a chance in the rubber match tomorrow. both these teams can produce runs in the first inning. most in the majors you're looking at there. the mets 50 and the orioles with 44. >> jim: an intriguing number. i was wondering, when you think about that, do you think that maybe you prepare better for the starting pitcher than you do some of the relievers because you see them, you see the film, get a better handle on them? >> gary: they're the ones you're looking at. >> jim: obviously you're at the top of your line-up. roberts and markakis and jones have been so hot throughout the year. >> gary: the other interesting part about scoring runs in the first inning is that these two teams, the mets and the orioles, are also the only teams in the majors who have allowed more than 40 runs in the first inning. so there's a lot of offense in the first couple innings when these two teams play both ways. >> jim: you wonder,

if you're dave trembley and you want to bring him in. >> jim h.: three scoreless innings in the interleague series at nationals park last month. >> jim p.: he's got a big curveball and a change-up, he's probably using a little more because it does slow the bats down. >> jim h.: that's the swing we're used to seeing from alberto gonzalez as he goes up the middle. tying runs aboard. washington now, lead-off men aboard five out of seven innings tonight. >> jim p.: johnson doesn't want to be there. of course gonzalez takes advantage of it. he wants to be down in the strike zone. >> rob: at the beginning of the year, he would have been swinging for the downs, he would have miss that had pitch. now he's cut down. they do teach you a lot down in the minor leagues and adjusting the attitude to what kind of player you may become is part of it. >> bob: and really good defensively. willie harris, one for three tonight. harris bounces the double play ball. the nats are doubling themselves to death tonight. that's the third of the night. and the other two came with -- with the bases loaded. >> jim p.: i

.: when you pitch an inning and 2/3 and give up five runs and seven hits, dave trembley talked aboute, but the velocity was 96. he just made one real bad pitch. but they brought him out for the second inning after, and that just was a little too much. again, they were way behind in the ballgame. but this was a guy that three or four years ago is about as good as any young right-handed pitcher in baseball. had the tommy john surgery. it's taken a while to find his release point. >> bob: willie harris jacks one to right field, over the scoreboard and washington homers for the second time today and for willie harris, his third home run in the last two weeks. his fourth of the year makes it 4-1 washington. gets out of here in a hurry when it's in the middle of the plate, especially inside middle. >> rob: you talked about movement. his first few strikes were moving fastballs down and away. this is a fastball that just stays up in the zone. willie harris not known to be a home run hitter, but to a lefty, you talked about this with aubrey huff, sometimes you change your eyesight and you say

. >> gary: and the skipper, dave trembley, what he would like o see even if he misses with the changeup is to stick with it. >> jim: he has a curveball, he has a slider, so he has four pitches to choose from, but te changeup makes your fastball better. but to me, from what i've seen when he elevates the fastball, and he gets it, when he gets behind the hitters, he gets in trouble. >> gary: we're ready to go, ad game 3 as this home stands wil conclude before they head out on the road. jason berken will be making the start for the os, with an offense that looks like it has rejuvenated itself. @ ♪ ah, that hits the spot. it's drinkability. it means bud light is good where ever you are. if you're at a party. or, playing golf. like those guys. or, in a bar. [ old timey western bar music ] draw another door. don't say draw. never filling, always refreshing. bud light. the difference is drinkability. seven aces. >> gary: the skies have cleard up. those in the area know, we haa lot of rain today, up degrees, it is humid -- 77 degrees, and it 

today dave trembley was asked whether or not the left-handed specialist is an important role?ets important. you have to have that ability to match up, plus you have to force the other guy into making a move. and if you don't force him into making a move, he's got to know that you've got that bullet, i mean, it's a strategic thing. i'll be real honest with you, there's times when you put a left-hander in there and get a left-hander out, it doesn't happen once, you're okay with it. it doesn't happen twice, the red light goes on. three times, you start going, hey, maybe you got to start putting guys in and play the game as if you don't have a left-handed guy. and that's honest. >> so trembley is saying at some point you've just got to go with the best guy that's going oh get that batter out. but he also said he does not want to play without a left- handed specialist. but as far as alberto castillo is concerned, it's very interested, left-handed batters are hitting .429 against him, while righties are 0-3 against him. >> last night he allows two hits, one of those runners scored.

dave said his recovery time will be a minimum of two to three weeks. it's been reported and believed to be oscar is the one who will get the car up from triple a. of course he's not a shortstop. so dave said over the next couple days ty will be the back up shortstop. also quick update. he's expected to return to the rotation against seattle when the orioles return home. june 11 is the projected date. that's the third game in the seattle series. >> gary: thank you very much. now back. said before the game today he was on the phone this morning with izturis said he was in good spirits and said he felt very good. got the appendix out of the way. >> buck: and it was done so no major incisions. hopefully recovery time will be reduced. >> gary: that one foul. came up and hit him right in the mouth. >> buck: i thought it hit him in the throat. got his hand over his throat. wow. fastball got out in front of it. caught him right on the adam's apple. ball hits right off the plate and comes straight up. ouch. boy. that's the last thing this club needs. certainly
