. >> johnny: the reds' catcher ryan hanigan will step in against macdougal.you're wondering why it's so quiet, there aren't many fans here. i'm counting them now. 28, 33 -- these are die hard fans, rob, right now. >> rob: yes, they are. >> johnny: fans sticking around for two hours and 10 minutes of rain and coming back. [cheering and applause] standing down there on a cellphone -- those are new glasses aren't they? i read on your blog you were getting a new pair. >> rob: they're not new. i didn't get any. >> johnny: flanagan flew to center field his second time up. 2-2 in the top of the 10th. >> rob: big play of the game was hanigan throwing out dunn at 2 2nd. hanigan has a rocket for a right arm. >> johnny: nine guys have attempted to steal against him. he's thrown out seven of them. >> rob: adams is happy. 2-2, chance to win the ballgame here. keep it there, 2-2. >> johnny: zimmermann and dukes coming up in the bottom of the inning. to right field, base hit. >> rob: i almost think he had a beat on that ball. nick did a great job of trying to knock it down.

they will pass hanigan to get to harang. talking with elijah dukes before the ballgame, i was relating stories about high school athletics. i asked him about hillsboro high school if he ever played them. he said mr. holiday, i went to hillsboro, you should know that if you followed my career. he said it with a smile. he was very nice. talk about how tough the football teams were in the tampa area when we grew up. >> rob: i lived out near the hillsboro district. we played at the old field there in tampa that's no longer around. i lived out by bush gardens gardens and stuff. i know exactly where elijah grew up. we drove through there all the time. >> johnny: a lot of great schools there. >> rob: a lot of great athletes came out of there. really good baseball players. >> johnny: aaron to bounce it out to belliard. to johnson at 1st. the inning is over. martis gets a little bit of hot water again, but he's able to pitch his way out of it. it's followed one tradition: use the best high-country barley... and only rocky mountain wa

and no play for ryan hanigan, the count is each with two balls and two strikes, 3-1 here in the bottom of the sixth. >> rob: ryan has made a lot of strides in one area where people say he struck out 200 times a year, he only struck out 164 times last year, 122 walks, he makes it very difficult on the pitchers, but he is kind of a throw-back. that's what you wanted your four-guy to be, a big power guy and now that he is that big power guy, that's when all these other guys now are saying "oh well he still strikes out," that's the evolution of this

i think the bat hits hanigan's hand. you don't make a lot of friends when you do that to the catcher. >> johnny: two quick nationals retired. they are getting the start at 2 2nd. didn't play last night. went 73, couple of home runs. >> rob: one of the things i like about aaron harang. he might not have overpowering stuff, he attacks the strike zone and works quickly, keeps the defense involved and throws a lot of strikes. >> johnny: line drive to left. base hit. that will bring up the catcher

ryan hanigan set to step in now. tough situation for jason bergmann. >> rob: yes, it is.ight here you're thinking you could possibly get the fastball in to try to make him pop it up and strike him out. >> johnny: grounded out. nice play by ryan. one down. >> rob: nope . foul ball at this particular time. -- i want to see the replay to see if it was a foul ball. it does go foul. nice call. >> johnny: gonzalez goes to 1 1st 1 1st, bruce stays at 3rd 3rd. >> rob: that's exactly the play you want. he'll try to get a ground ball here. then you'll worry about rolling a double play ball. >> johnny: jason coming back from syracuse on may 20th. grounded to 2nd. johnson, runner out at 1st on a run down. guzman back to belliard, back to guzman. there's two out on the double play. >> rob: nice play. watch the runner. >> johnny: all the time bruce can only stay at 3rd base. >> rob: that was a fabulous defensive play. >> johnny: 4, 3, 6, 4, 6. however you score that, it's fantastic. >> rob: he'll run the runner back to 1st. now you have to tag him out. they do. they get gonzalez. you'l

hanigan on 1st. 0-2. fouled down the right side. johnny holliday along with rob dibble here. glad to have you with us tonight. we started this ballgame at 7:00. two hours and 10 minute rain delay. bob carpenter took a few days off. josh bard and gonzalez, 2-2 game in their hands. macdougal just misses outside. >> rob: when debbi taylor left, i said make sure you get the player of the game for the nationals. she assured me she would. >> johnny: 1-2 pitch to jerry hairston. swing and a miss. macdougal strikes out two here in the top of the 10th 10th. ryan zimmermann leads off for the nationals. we go to the last of the 10th at nats park. @@ this is humiliating. stand still so we can get an accurate reading. okay...um...eighteen pounds and a smidge. a smidge? y'know, there's really no need to weigh packages under 70 pounds. with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service, if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. cool. you know this scale is off by a good 7, 8 pounds. maybe five. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a sim

hanigan is the catcher. harang is the catcher for dusty baker. willingham certainly excite to be back in the lineup. .280 hit with 6 doubles and 2 home runs. the nine homers will come up big if he can connect again tonight. guzman in the top spot, short stop. zimmermann at 3rd batting 3 3rd. dunn batting cleanup in left. willingham right fielder. bard will call the game for the pitcher batting 9th. we look at that time reds and nationals as they try to get things going in this series. trying to add a punch to the lineup with willingham in the lineup. >> no doubt. he deserves to play. he has hit the ball extremely well. i believe he needs an opportunity to go out there and play two or three weeks and see what he can do. it's the toughest thing in the world to try to play part time. the second toughest thing is not knowing if you're going play. you've got to do it bat after bat. he's worked real hard. he deserves a shot to play. >>> the schedule takes a turn after this series. inner league ball clubs next. tampa bay rays are the defending champs on

single by hanigan brought in jay bruce on the walk. >> as we look at ron ba loan, he struck out 16 batters in a nine-inning game for cincinnati back in 1990 or 1991? he can bring it at his prime. >> rob: oh absolutely. absolutely. >> johnny: one of the most interesting guys to talk to as you look at ron ba loan, we did a piece with him i guess it was a week ago sunday and one of the things i asked him was how much can he be of a father figure, teacher to a lot of the young guys on the pitching staff. he said he is still learning. you can learn from these kids. >> rob: you can always learn. i'm learning from these guys, it's a process being, it's a journey, you are never done learning. i learned from steve mccatty. i learned from jim palmer when he was in here. jim palmer, obviously i idolized him and had a fraction of the career he had but he, you know, he will give you information if you just ask him. >> johnny: sure. >> rob: and there is so many of those wonderful guys. i learned from keith hernandez up in new york and when he comes here i'm pumping him for information. you can never get

from ryan hanigan and they take a 1-0 lead after 1 1/2. at pnc, taking the long view is how we help you take the right path. even to change it when conditions demand. keeping you on the road to achieving your goals. it's something we've been doing for over 150 years. let our strength and stability be the basis for yours. pnc. leading the way. so, what's the problem? these are hot. we're shipping 'em everywhere. but we can't predict our shipping costs. dallas. detroit. different rates. well with us, it's the same flat rate. same flat rate. boston. boise? same flat rate. alabama. alaska? with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. dude's good. dude's real good. dudes. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. . >>> welcome back everybody. johnny holiday along with rob dibble here at national's park. >> johnny: we're delighted to have on the telephone the national's second selection today, premier college closer out the

with that strikeout and another strikeout on the outside half, the hairston, you see another one to hanigan, down and in. when you've got it working in and out on the breaking ball and you can set it up with a 93 miles per hour heat, johnny, you're going to do some good things. but cueto now in 12 starts, the reds have won eight of them, so he was a very difficult foe tonight and i thought detwiler did a great job and in the bullpen three scoreless innings to give us a shot down the end. >> each game that detwiler pitches he is going to take a learning experience from some factor of that game and get better. >> rob: yeah you got to take a positive out of everything. you gave up three runs in six innings, you walked the guys, got to get past that, take the good things away and not the bad things and that's how he is going to learn and also going to be able to put in those mental notes. this is what i did against a couple of the reds. they may move on to another ball club especially in your division, put that away for later, worked well with will nieves, so a lot of good things happened tonig
