.: this is your hanger. >> rob: that was outside the

that was a hanger.immerman hits a garber off the glove of salazar who did a good job of hanging with it. should be a base hit. zimmerman would be twofor three. >> jim p.: hohocorner. what did ritchie allen say? >> rob: this is a seed, salazar knocks it down. ryan zimmerman, boy, he smelle hit, all of a sudden he kicks inanother gear and he gets an gle. adam duoff the stretch. >b: i know who is going to be hitting four tomorrow night. >> jim p.: manny acta said i need it play my best players. and they kind of have the a team in today other than josh w he ge a high striall. >> jim p.: real high. >> bob: compared to the rest of the day. >> jim p.: you really don't want to be there, but you'll take it if you're david ndez. belt high, maybe shoulder high, over the plate. >> bob: he got the top of it. >> jim p.: i think the difficulty, we talked about it, you the young battery- mate, so you've got all the scouting reports. every team has their advanced scouting reports. adam dunn, you want to stay up and in

it's kind of a hanger, but it's located in a good spot. he was able to do that. when things are going well and you're mechanically sound, those things happen. look at that. that ball is just going right there and drops down almost to the bottom of the shin guards. that is the breaking ball that we are looking for. you throw it somewhere in the strike zone, it drops out of the strike zones and hitters have to chase it. then he comes with a slider on the hard part of the plate, the inside part of the plate going down again. hitters just can't do anything. they get out in front. their bat angle changes and that's why he was so devastating. this year it's been a tale of two cities, different story. we have a graphic of how he's done in the past. he's thrown, as you see last year, the 26 innings and 19 hits, the 2.08 earned run average, opposition batting average just .196. that's unreal. this year, 4.42 over his last seven ballgames. he's just not throwing enough strikes to stay ahead. the key to getting people to make outs when you throw a breaking ball, your first

a hanger that was up around hs eyes. >> jim: livan hernandez is fortunate here because he hangs  em high. he can't quite get to it. >> gary: wow. >> jim: we saw santos strike off berken on a backup slider. sometimes you see it, you try to wait, and you just can't quite do that. >> gary: 3-2 counts, one down. jones takes it and bases are loaded. they want 0 a check, but he didn't go. good patient at-bat by jones, the first walsh for hernandez. and nick mark will stands in with the -- and nick markakis will stand in with the bases full. nick has struck out and grod out against hernandez independence with the fielders choice, roberts the double, joins the walk -- andino with the fielder's choice, roberts the double, and jones the walk. >> jim: markakis is very much like not a switch hitter, but much like one of my former teammates, kenny singleton. and kenny always trusted the umpire to know the strike zone. when gets called on out on balls off the plate, it from your traits him, but that is reali. some guys have bigger strike zones than other

we have a few things that are outstanding, a few things with energy markets, and a couple of hanger-ons that we need to clean up. there are 22, i am to approve zero, 17, and then we had a handful, as well -- there are 22 i am told? oh, 17. we do fully intended to wrap things up. is it a perfect bill? absolutely not. for those of you may have read the article in this morning's "the washington post, i think it's something up -- in this morning's "the washington post," i think it's sum it up -- it summoed it up. being in that sweet spot, i would hope so. i think it will remain to be seen how the votes will come out with this bill on wednesday. i do not know. i do not think that some of my colleagues think that it goes far enough, and a thing there others that think another piece does not go far enough, and i think there are others that think another piece does not go far enough -- i do not think that some of my colleagues think that it goes far enough, and i think there are others that think another piece does not go far enough. i think this is a positive. there aspects -- there are aspect

it's a hanger and bang. actually, it's a fastball. that's a sinker. you need to get that a little lower. >> bob: i think that's five consecutive heaters on 3-2. he does give him a hook that time. 10 pitches. really extend him this inning.   >> bob: on a pitch upup, play, guzman. is he going to throw him out? nick johnson digs it away! the nats get out of it in the second. well played on both ends by guzman with a dive. nick johnson with a pick. this is a very good 6-3.   >> bob: cristian guzm his best play of the year on a hot shot to the hole. get your family fun pack tickets. you might see a play like that sundayment for autopsy all sunday games, $14 an upper right field terrace. either side of the ballpark. with each ticket, a hot dog,nonalcohol alcoholic drink and chips. minimum of two tickets per purchase. bring the family out. kids run the bases afterwards. 888-632-nats or you can stop by the box office at the ballpark out there in left field. there is parking available on the street during nonnationals game days out

little hanger, speeds up the bat. how many times have we talked about that?extension. he's getting on top of the high pitch as he gets a great pitch to hit, and smokes it into left center field. >> gary: what a job andinohas done. the 6th hit by the right-hander, and the os on top 1-0. leadoff homer in the third inning. brian roberts shows bunt as david wright is swung around n the infield at third so there was a lot of room third career home run for andino. >> jim: and only the third exa base hit. >> gary: 2-0 delivery to roberts. that's in for a strike. brian flied out his first time up. >> jim: we talked about circlg guys in the lineup. so reports been hitting well, but -- so roberts's been hittg well, but you don't expect him to take you deep. >> gary: brian has not had a t in the series. he is 0-11 in the series agait the mets. and roberts has .287 batting average now. hernandez falls behind now in the 3rd inning. 2-2 delivery, and roberts tryg to go the other way again. puts it almost in the same

and a couple hanger-ons that we need to clean up. there's 17 amendments that we're working -- 22, i'm told? 17 and then we had a handful as well. so, you know, say 20 amendments and, of course, we're all working to see what might possibly get cleared before then. but we do fully intend to wrap things up. is it a perfect bill? absolutely not. for those of you that may have read the article in this morning's "washington post," i think it summed it up pretty well. it seems like everybody is just a little bit annoyed or perhaps angry at certain aspects of the bill. if you've made everybody a little bit mad, maybe we're getting closer to being right in the middle of that sweet spot. i would hope so. i think it will remain to be seen how the votes will come out on this bill on wednesday. i'll be honest with you, i don't really know. i know that some of my democratic colleagues don't think that the res goes far enough. i know some of my republican colleagues don't think that the production piece goes far enough. so i'm sure we'll have more
