the o's are hoping guthrie stays.hat's the first hit with two strikes on the hitter. >> huff gets him on the back end and it's 1 away. >> yeah, shortstop is knowing good speed, you have to get over it, catch it and release, all in one motion. it loads off the right leg and pushes off. >> wise hits the high fly ball right center field and mark is waiting for it to come down. 2 down and 1 out. >> wise is retired. one out of three with the solo home run. >> he had another home run on his mind. 2 down in the inning. >> here's bane and he will be abducted into the o's hall of fame. he certainly deserves it. >> what a terrific player. >> his numbers retired by the white sox. of course, he's allowed to wear it. >> i started him off in the first major league home run. i didn't make him hit it, he just hit it. he had 107 homeruns as an o's player. the numbers as an o are much better than you might realize because he's so associated with the white sox. his numbers retire here and here's the tribute outside the stadium. they use

guthrie has been that good.t too many breaking balls, commanding fast ball, couple of changeups, again only the changeup in the middle of the plate that wise has ran on. >> this is the same team team that scored -- team that scored 12 runs on friday night. >> he allowed only 3 runs to get the win. but then the angels got a loss and the start the seattle. >> it's a changeup. and then it's an 0 -2 pitch. he made what he thought was a good pitch up and in. you put a better swing on. so there are four of the five runs. again, we always talked about the 1, 2, 3 pitches. that was

guthrie starts -- guthrie starts for the o's. >>> i think he's had a couple of days off and has to reprogramter and get back to the slow tempo from the last couple of years. it has everything to do with the fact he's given up too many homeruns. slow down, jeremy. he's not had a win against the white sox in his career yet. that's way too much for a pitcher of guthrie's caliber. >> how about the white sox? contreras? >> he's won four of the last six games and pitched to a 2.06 era and that's different than the start of the season, where he was 0 and 5 t. white sox front office was starting to worry about him a little bit. the 37-year-old is putting his game back together again. >> how about the key to the game? >> the key is you have to tiptoe around thome. he has 28 homeruns, 95 rbi's. if we walk him, he's won guy i don't mind walking because he's changed the flow of the river. they are always at a point where the o's can afford to give up any runs. when you're behind in the count, fast balls. >> now this next item, it's a good player to watch. >> huff is a slam do dunk tonight. two home runs

obviously is jeremy guthrie understands that. you don't mind if they're solo home runs, but last night the three-run home run really did him in. now as far as he is concerned, the long ball and what you are looking at, what are you seeing with him? or maybe the better question is, what are you not seeing with him, why the ball continues to leave the ballpark? >> you have to realize that jeremy guthrie cannot do this all by himself. tell me right there that he's not looking for the fastball on the outside corner. so why give him a fastball that he can hit right there. all he was looking for, and you can tell by his body language, that he was pulling off the ball a little. he looks at it, but he is kind of fingerprinting with his -- fidgeting with his feet. the catcher didn't give him a good target, up in the zone, it wasn't in or up far enough, and you gave a great hitter an opportunity to come back and pull himself off the hook by getting a good pitch to hit, and that's what he has made a living doing off of mistakes like that. j
