ichiro, there's figgins on deck.. 2 on, one out. >> jim: look again, you think a lot of times when you face a guy as good as ichiro, set the all time hit record, you have to be perfect. you can see, up and in, down and away, off the corner, doesn't miss by much. uconn want to give -- you don't want to give in. wieters will take a walkout as that misses. figgins flied out to center field his first time up. small ball played by both of the teams as necessary to get runs. these situations where both ballclubs have got the deliver. when you get people on like this, 2 on, one down, you need key hits. m's are 6 and 7 on the year. 2 games out. 2-0 down on figgins. >> jim: number 2 hitter coming into the game. this is his third start. they are hitting .500. leadoff guys hitting .400. that will miss and bergesen with an unhappy shake of his head. he falls behind figgins 3-0 and have the hottest hitter maybe in baseball, gutierrez waiting on deck. >> jim: 8 for 14 with runners in scoring position. >> gary: strike. bergesen com

the ball to ir churro -- ichiro robbed him.here, he hit it where it was pitched. >> gary: so with 2 down a runner at 1st base. luke scott, scott lined out. and he has grounded out. the breaking ball will be teen up high. >> jim: i don't think you find out about a young pitcher until you get a close game. it's been a breeze because of 7 run inning in the third for the mar mores. >> 7 rains, 4 earned off bergesen in the third when they sent 10 men to the plate. since then it has been quiet on both sites. 1-1 on luke scott. runner at first, that is in there for a strike. the down will go to 1-2. >> jim: it's not, i didn't say it was easy, i said it was easier. you have to throw your pitches and execute them. that's the new term. talked about had to make good pitches, now you have to execute the pitches. they tell you how are you supposed to get the guys out. >> gary: that will miss up high. fister evens the count at 2-2. first of 3, we'll be back with you tomorrow night. hernandez and vargas, 9:30 or o's extra. 10:00 for the ball

there's an ichiro hit. just punched it into center field, and he's two for three. >> jim: again, he had 59 infield hits last year. that's obviously not an infield hit. let's take a look right here. dave hernandez totally different pitch. strike one. good fastball in on the fist. there you go. you think it's a good pitch. maybe a little too much of the plate. especially to eachio. speak of jay brunner, he is here. >> gary: he is doing some radio work. >> jim: i told him is that counter programming to "american idol" on tuesday nights you appear? he said that is exactly right. >> gary: there you go. somebody always trying to find an answer to quality programming, which that isn't. chone figgins. >> jim: how would you know if you never watched it? >>> >> gary: quick assessment. two down. >> jim: that darryl, young wife, beautiful wife. she watches it, i watch it. so the point is, they don't really sing very well. >> gary: they don't? >> jim: no. and it's not really about -- in some cases it's about entertainme

ichiro one away. io chronic ichiro has not -- ironic that ichiro has not been a part of this.18,401 in attendance here tonight. the largest of the three crowds for the series. the orioles on the road. a couple of wins, seven losses, and the mariners trying to win another one on him here. here's the 0-1 delivery. the 0-2 count. the orioles only run in the first inning, an unearned run with wieters getting the rbi. wilson three rbis on the ball game, and johnson the other. the 8 and 9 hitters with the rbis for seattle. turner making the play. figgins is retired. two down. visit the official online shop of the orioles at orioles.com, and you can browse the largest selection of official gear with apparel, memorabilia, and you can get your gear from the official source orioles.com/shop. >> jim: one of the keys to the game, stay within yourself even if you're pitching against felix hernandez. he has pretty much done that. his lifetime e.r.a. coming in with 154 wins is 4.01. that's pretty much what he has pitched to tonight. >> gary: the orioles run production this season is three ru

ichiro.e hit into right field. the owner of the highest batting average against the orioles. he had 2-4 last night and he starts out with a single here. >> jim: it's predictable he will have good at-bats. nine straight years of 200 or more hits. as we mentioned last night, he hits lefties better than rightys. >> gary: hernandez is going to work with a runner on here. and here is it figgins. he had an 0-4 last night. he has not had a hit at last 11 at-bats. ichiro is always a threat to go. and figgins trying to move him up, fouls to all. one of the ironic numbers about hernandez this year is hitters are batting .327 against him. but when he goes into the stretch, he has been much more effective at getting hitters out with runners on base, only .238. when the bases are empty, .348. >> jim: and he was thank that way last year. if you look at his numbers last year what really hurt him, .186 with runners in scoring position. it was the long ball that really hurt him. again, the 27 home runs on the

one strikeout by ichiro in the 2 2nd inning.n the three- pitch strikeout. >> fred, again too kevin millwood was brought to the ball club to give the veteran influence to the young starting rotation, and i think so far he has done that. good effort in the 1st game. left with the effort in the 2 2nd game. seems like we are not scoring runs for him either. do you feel like everyone is falling in place with him or has he done his job with the club so far? >> he has certainly done his job. the seven runs scored over the first three starts for him, unacceptable. that's what dave trembley saw in the ball club recently, unacceptable play. he hopes that will change tonight. kevin millwood is a guy going out there, giving 100 percent. he doesn't want to give up the able late in the game, wanting to say in there. tonight he looks for his west win as an oriole. >> fred we appreciate the visit. joe and fred on the orioles network every game of the year. have a safe trip to boston, and we will see you soon. >> about 8:00 in the morning. >> fr

gutierrez to a great start, as is ichiro. figgins not where he wants to be and bradley, .139 average and two home runs, not near the numbers they hoped to get out of him. that will be the o's next opponent, seattle. >> jim p: somehow they managed to win four in a row. ichiro -- double, triple, single, stolen base -- pretty good night last night. >> gary: big hits and good pitching. 6-1 ball game. matusz working here. and the breaking ball is in there. buck a strikeout victim his first time up. no walks, five strikeouts and a hit batter for the orioles. 23-year-old left-hander. 0-2 pitch. another breaking ball will miss down low. and a one ball, two strike count. orioles try to prevent a four- game sweep, something they have done over the last series. blew that one on. a strikeout. that's six in the game. >> jim p: the formula is get ahead -- when you get ahead you have to command your stuff -- and make another good pitch. you know hitters are going to expand the strike zone and then make that quality pitch knee- high. it's th

ichiro 2-5 with a couple of runs scored.wo-run triple in addition to his three hits total. seattle scored multiple runs in three straight innings. felix hernandez has the win if seattle can hold on. >> july 1, 2010, in the nba, it's the start of the holiday shopping season. in high demand, a lebron a wade and a bosh. but they won't come cheap. good news, teams will have a little more to spend. the nba's projected salary cap next season $56.1 million, $2 million to $3 million higher than expected. great news for the knicks. it good -- guarantees they can sign two max free agents. based on the cap, the knicks will have the most money to spend and their the only team that could give out two maximum contracts. the projected cap also helps out the nets, heat and bulls, among others. >> mike leach has added espn analyst craig james and university official and regents in his wrongful termination lawsuit. attorneys for leach claim that a top administrator and two board of regents agreed to fire leach last year a day after he signed

. >> rob: running down the 1st baseline, it works for ichiro. >> bob: what was wrong with that pitch?w, evidently. >> rob: let's see this last pitch. 3-1 pitch on the pitch track. it was a little bit low. >> bob: scott berry got it right, and we admit that. >> rob: we admit when we're wrong. what about you umpires? just kidding. >> bob: here's lee, who on a big slow curveball, lined out to gonzalez. look at desmond. guzman to turn it. >> rob: that's close. >> bob: guzman didn't get much on the throw as desmond continues to play spectacular shortstop and riggleman doesn't like the call at 1st base. >> rob: i don't like it either. did you notice cristian got rid of the ball a little quicker this time? he learned something about that last one with fontenot. >> bob: that was spectacular by desmond. >> rob: that kid has been sparkling at shortstop. watch this. this will pump you up as a pitcher, and your bench. great play, great leather, then he just flicks it over there. it looks like this is a very tight play. cristian, great turn. i don't know. you be the judge. a little bit closer. gre
