bob carpenter, rob dibble and debbi taylor with our masn hd crew here. third game of the series, the nationals won in the rain, 14-6 friday night. last night, rained out. rockies won today now they're trying to make it two in a row. 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. >> r

bob carpenter, rob dibble. the nats generated some offense against one of the best pitchers in baseball today. >> yeah, and even got the first home run hit off of him this season. but ubaldo jimenez has been fantastic all season long. our guy, his two losses have come at his hand. one in d. c. and one here. but livan had great stuff all day. jimenez was just better again. then dunn hit the home run, but other than, that it was the three singular home runs were the difference off livan hernandez today until the 8th inning. a very well pitched game and a very fast paced game and basically the home run ball that came through for everybody. >> bob: jason giambi, miguel olivo solos. dunn, that one up in the upper deck and a decisive hit by ian stewart and then brian bruney came in the 8th inning and the rockies got three runs off of him. but the nats keep the home run streak alive. jason giambi hits one, olivo hits one and so the nats drop dame one. ryan zimmermann broke four bats in the game and keeps driving in ru

bob carpenter and rob dibble. you know, rob, we talk about pitcher-hitter matchups automatic time.e don't boil it by position. we have an opportunity with some of the young guys in this series to do so. >> rob: yeah, i think, you know, a couple roll of keys to win this matchup game will be your center fielders. it will be morgan versus maven and nyjer morgan shows flashes of brilliance with his speed, contact guy. may ben not having trouble catching the ball so great speed and pretty even. the third base you have cantu, one of the best rbi guy in the business. zimmerman, goal glover last year at third base, silver slugger, one of the best power guys from third base position so it may come down to those two guys. then again, it should probably cot down to the starters, bob. lannan versus johnson. johnson brilliant during daylight hours. lannon not so bad over the last three years so it will be down to a few matchups at center field, third basemen, and the starting pitchers. >> bob: josh johnson 11-2 with a 3.42 e.r.a. and evidently if you see the ball, it's tough to hit. >> rob: yea

bob carpenter, rob dibble, debbi taylor on masn hd and the third of the four game series. >> rob: there they are. >> bob: my cousin from castle rock, colorado is here with his family and i told him if they didn't root for the nats, we were going to pull their tilt -- tickets. [ laughter ] ryan zimmerman flied to left the first time as he got in on the trademark of his bat. adam dunn next, now this afternoon, dunn hit third and zimmerman fourth. zimmerman went 3-4 with an rbi. dunn had a homer. and the 0-2 with one out. >> rob: you notice on this pitch from hammel. zim doesn't even offer at it because he's not going to swing at a breaking ball like that. probably subtracted that and looking for the heater and probably on the inner half. >> bob: i don't know about the inner half. upper quadrant. >> rob: they're going in on zin. normally he's up to that task, but this guy is throwing in the low 90s and jimenez throws in the upper 90s. a couple ovulum per jacks in on -- of lumberjacks for zim. breaking all of his bats today. >> bob: had to reach. hits a swinging bunt. that will stay fair fo

you care about bob carpenter you'd appreciated that. , if you have movie questions ask them to rob dibble wall and stays in play. that gives the pitcher a chance to score to tie the game. for ramirez that's only his 8th rbi. >> not a lot 6 table at the timing going around in front of hip. pitcher had to get that. drill it to the deepest part of the park, chris has to come around to score. >> the other thing about that ball. in most ballparks that's a home run. that ball hit about 415 or 420 feet from home plate. the leading rbi in the plate is up. here again as we're standing needs to be smart. them guy is a much tougher out now. in fact, coming into this game, impinged he has a five game hitting streak but he's hit # 2 of the 23 mar libs games this quite a bit. 1-1 game straight ahead. ♪ achievement unleashes hidden potential. ♪ all right! achievement looks forward to dinner at home. achievement enjoys newfound freedom. i love you.

it is very dibble to fight gangs with -- difficult to fight gangs with the army. there are a lot of civilian casualties on the war on crime. when you have a army fighting gagngs, -- gangs, the army is trained to shoot and to bomb, not trained to do intelligence and pick the gain leader and take him out -- gang leader and take him out. the army is trained to shoot. what i believe would be a much more sensible approach would be to have specialized crews of civilian police -- very specialized, with intelligence, with the latest, high-tech, and the knowledge of the new crime- fighting methods -- prepared to enter this war. prepare to solve this problem. i think it was the time to do it from the start. it was not done, but it should be done. and that is where the u.s. can come in. in my opinion, my personal opinion, i do not think the aid or help of the u.s. in fighting this should be equipping of the army a lot more so that they can bomb and shoot more. i think all this high-tech intelligence, these ballistic machines, and so on and so forth, that we do not have in me
