infield way in for the marlins.teams don't do that early in the game but against the opposing pitcher it's a good call. >> and nolasco going slow soft against scott. he knows his old teammate can hit a little bit and if he does square around for a squeeze, for a pitcher you're talk to throw right at the hitter's chest so that he may pop it up. that would be interesting. all right, that's a fast ball. >> a good bunt or try to swing it. >> you probably wouldn't call the bunt with two strikes because you want him to hit the ball somewhere and maybe get it past those infielders. >> nolasco pushing 40 pitches now. >> olsen has 15 career rbis. and the 1-2. he waives a nasty breaking ball. that's what happens when you take a fast ball down the middle. you're not going to see another one those. two outs it will be up to nyjer morgan with the infield backing up but they can't back up too far to see if the nats can take a 3-0 lead here. >> cantu will stay on the grass at third. gaby sanches even with the bag but well off the

the left side of the infield is responsible now for 27 errors for the demon deacons.o many. especially when you have cooney on the mound. >> jason: bunt foul. 3rd base side. with a count 2-1 on stephen perez. great experience for tim cooney pitching here in coral gables against the university of miami, the 15th ranked hurricanes. second straight weekend on the road for cooney and the demon deacons in the acc. that one gets away and the count is 3-1. >> we saw cooney struggle when he pitches from the stretch. it doesn't seem he has the same command as when he pitches from the wind up. once again he is worried about the runners that he is losing his focus at the plate. >> jason: you mentioned earlier the hurricane struggles bumping the baseball. and perez who has otherwise been very reliable as the number-two man in the order now has 2 strikes on him. >> these are the little things that drive you nuts as a coach. i am sure coach morris is going nuts in that dugout right now. you have a runner on the base. you have another runner on the worked. you want to move that runn

he knows how to play off positions in the infield. a guy you could put him at 1st base, shortstop, second bat. he handles the bat well. he is the kind of guy you could see mailing in the major league. they are just a great ballplayer at the college level, i would expect to see him play at the next level as well. >> jason: the 2-2 pitch. curve ball. misses high and in time. the count runs full. and again a big pitch coming -- coming up to lawson with grandal on deck, miami's most dangerous hitter. cooney will try to bear down as he looks into the sign of mike lubanski. checks the runner to boss and comes home. curve ball swung on. the 1st baseman, it rolls into the right field. that will score devoss. a hit and in there is lawson. and once again the a run. >> that's another run run that is going to score. all three runs have scored. we do have one-base hit in the game, as we mentioned. frankie ratcliff. that didn't really do much. lopez, that 1st base came up a little too soon. take a look. this is a well hit ball by matt lawson -- sco

infield hit for rendon. a fourth hit for the owls. >> steve: hit them 50 pitches.s only a 2/3 inning in. we can take a look as on. he watch at m. his little bit. jeremy rathjen does nice job of aying with that ball. >> matt: a good job of seabedding the runners. the runners are going. the ball was hit in the hole. you saw the third baseman i don't know if he could make a play on that. he was heading to third base. runners are going again this time. they have theman seastrunk thrown out of third base. >> steve: you want to get both guys in scoring position. you can score in a period of ways. took a gamble. didn't come out right. sometimes that keeps the defense on their heels a little bit when they are that aggressive. >> matt: the other thing it does it is a gamble. it can go one way or another. you played yourself out of a bigger inning. >> steve: that is absolutely true. he troll realized the guy we are facing is a good pitcher. we have to get the scratch

they're still out there doing infield and drills and rundowns and everything. jim riggleman is on top of this club. he's doing a great job. >> bob: there was definite defensive practice on the field at about 4:15 this afternoon. because i have my partner's permission, i will now tell you the nationals have a five-game errorless game streak. pudge rodriguez is up. he's making great contact. he has struck out three times in 49 at-bats. >> rob: i'm comfortable with you talking about the defense because it's no longer shocking. this is what you're supposed to do at a major league level. that's why they're getting it done out there. there will be fewer mental mistakes this year. that's the pleasing thing about this ball club. >> bob: 3-2 now to pudge. >> rob: i don't think we've seen too many swinging misses by pudge. great contact here. watch the knuckle ball. just drops off the table. >> bob: and he strikes out rodriguez. second strikeout of the game for haeger, and only the fourth time pudge has gone down on strikes. >> rob: it's a knuckle ball that looks like he

and the infield is going to move in. playing a little more than half way. the pitch here. >> gary: here is the 1-0 delivery, and a strike taken. >> mike: and cito gaston, bringing the in field in to increase the average, potential average. >> gary: jones really good speed. does not have to go, obviously here. nobody out. 1-ball, 1 strike count. inside to markakis. i always think that is an interesting call in this situation for the manager. if you were managing, would you have jones going on contact for 1st base. >> mike: with nobody out, you probably don't. 1 out, you probably do. >> gary: 2-ball, 1 strike count. and a strike taken and markakis did not like that cal by his body movement -- call by his body movement. >> mike: and marcum just trying to stay just inside the outside corner and clearly just outside the corner. >> gary: and the count, 3-2. and markakis, protecting that time. >> mike: yes. your vision is with the outside, marcum is clearly away the bat or ball. not anywhere near the power zone. >>> markakis 3-15, and 1st rbi. and strike 3 called.

and the infield will be drawn in. so reimold will get the advantage here, 1-0 delivery to him. nolan will take the breaking ball inside and a 2-0 count. >> jim p: this is where the pressure is on anderson. get the ball -- you can hit in the air -- you have to fix your pitches, ahead in the count, can't call you out until you get the third strike. the three strikes. >> gary: best day for the os with the runner in scoring position number -- 3 for 5. here's another chance. for reimold. above the three-run mark. center field -- going back -- warning track, wall -- goes up and can't get it. two runs will score in the second base with a double is reimold and two rbis. a 6-1 orioles lead. >> jim p: a great effort by rajai davis but how about -- only 5'81"0. he's 6'3," probably catches as well. dave trembley gives the green light. a great pitch to hit. it's like the ball will get up off the wall. it does and maybe just out of the outstretched arm of davis and orioles have some run. >> gary: reimold has four runs batted in now. double number two for him. runner at second base, still onl

a gold glove in 2004. 59 infield hits.you don't make the perfect play, and wilson is going to make sure, this is a shortstop watching a shortstop, he knows the urgency that seeser has. he gets into third. with two outs, it doesn't make a big difference because a breaking ball in the dirt puts more pressure on matt wieters. you want to bury your breaking ball but not bounce it. >> gary: figgins, 0-2 in the game and a walk. 0 for his last 13. ohman will stay on against the switch-hitter. and that is in there for a strike. >> jim: if you look at numbers, and i think this move is all about you let him hit against leftys because he is 8-22. 2-24 are domcomming in the game as a left-handed batter. so he is a little different hitter. but then gutierrez is on deck. >> gary: 0-is delivery on the way. he was thinking that and wigginton was, too, as he moved in. figgins ability to lay the ball down always has to be respected because he had -- >> jim: it also has something to do where he comes from. small ball. play the game the right

the infield comes in for the deacons. a tight one here in miami. swung on and brooks racing back and this will easily score the run from third and here comes with michael broad and the base runner, and ratcliff as he slides into third base. miami back in front 7-6. >> that's what it's all about. you have to execute when you have the opportunity. and for the young freshman, a good fastball and is gone out to center field and the outfield. without getting a base hit you are doing what you are supposed to do, executing there. good job for the young hurricane ball club. putting a score on the board. >> a somewhat subtle move as they could be it for justin van grou coming out of the wake forest dugout is coach walter. the subtle move is the pitch runner going from first to third on the hit by frankie ratcliff and scoring on the sacrifice fly. >> that's a great point. if he does not great to third there are runners at first and second the fly ball does nothing. and you could get a hit. >> and number 34, joel enters the right hander out of the a massive e

they are specially deep on the right side, infield and outfield for brown. >> of course, they always play deep here in right field. with the big wall behind you, you just charge everything. >>> it is 3:10 to the power rally. only 7 feet high, and 30 feet high above the score board. there is a look at the angular riddle-pace field. i really like this ballpark. parks has a nice old time feel, even though sit in a modern way. the hold timers weren't .330's on the line, .405 and center. they all had different angles. that is kind of how this ballpark is. >>> 2 runs, 4 hits, 0 errors for the arkansas - little rock. 3 runs, 5 hits and a costly error for troy. hitter's count to brown w a tying run to 2nd base. and that nipped him t. 3rd batter that tyler ray has hit with a pitch. >> he dentally was very careful. -- definitely were very careful. face open, crucial spot right here. and they will take their chances down the line right here with tim emmons. >>> 2 out, 2 on. the go ahead run is at 1st base. and emmons has been hit by a pitch, and fujita threw him out. as his last at-bat, he had

letting the middle infielders hear about it. after the throw got away. went into right field. can see coach rayner getting a what for. >> steve: number one comerota did not come up. too close to the bag. so he wanted to make sure they kept their heads in the ball game. sometimes one run can make a big difference. >> matt: one run leads to another. abe gonzales. >> steve: very clever. right on top of your '80s hit. >> matt: but you can apply it to baseball. baseball is life. they have a tee shirt that says that. 3-0 to abe gonzales. i don't know why more coaches don't stack lefties. more left handers have trouble. >> matt: they cannot hit them. i would like to see the collective bat handers of left- handed pitcher. >> steve: i was referring to touched on it earlier steve. good night did not make it out of the fourth. now you have hammack in the ball game. sixth inning of game one of the series. does have the trickle effect eventually. >> steve: your probably going to burn hammack for tomorrow's game. see who else comes into the ball game. if they do lose this game they are goin

everybody in on the glass here on the infield. already up by 7th. you just never know.ially in this rivalry. if clemson could push across a couple that, would match their biggest lead and put all the momentum back in their corner. you want to keep doing things the right way. so, that was the right call with jack leggett. a bunt with hinson. >> matt: fastball. 3-0. lamb, 1-12 in his career against the bulldogs. he is out of york high school in seaford, virginia. one more bad one to load the bases here. a fastball strike, 3-1. >> jeff: you can see with the georgia coaches like with patrick boling. good velocity, nice, easy motion. they really like his upside. and head coach for georgia, david, perno, enjoying looking at him. >> matt: and bases loaded. >> jeff: that is not the worst thing in the world to load them up and set them up for a double play for the bulldogs. >>> we talked about it last year. a great job in the 9. >> jeff: hit the ball hard. not cheap hits. it will be interesting to see how long clemson goes with leone. already surpassed his career outing against

upgrade, just before the season began, the orioles went out and acquired hugo lugo to be the utility infielder. so far that's paying dividends. let's head across to the masn booth and amber. >> reporter: julio gets his second start of the season here at second base. he's filling in for brian roberts for the second night of the row. roberts still suffering from that straineddable muscle. now, julio -- abdominal muscle. julio had two hits. trembley says he loves the energy the veteran brings to the lineup. also lugo knows how to win. he was part of that boston red sox team in 2007 that won the world series. and so i asked lugo what he thought this young team needs to do to start winning some of those close ball games. he told me simply they need to turn it on. >> right now we just are laying back too much. you know, we should be 3-1, 4-1 right now. we just need to turn it on a little. we are keeping them there and keep pushing. >> reporter: this is the first day you're giving back-to-back starts and back-to-back at- bats. how hard is it to be in the lineup when you've been there the day before a

but a huge lift having these two in the middle of the infield. be can the bullpen come around especially with mc cree and tanner. 3-0 now to levi himes. warfield getting a chance to get a inning of work here for the tigers. 4th pitcher used by clemson tonight. little bit of even performance here. 4 pitch walk to levi himes. bases are loaded for number four hitter. cone steps to the plate. 1-3 and a triple and score back in the 4th. homered twice as we pointed out earlier in the lsu series. a third of the home runs came over the last weekend. 6 on the georgia team. he is 7th in the conference at 42 hits. 6 in the conference, lugging percentage. he is always going to be up there and slugging in total bases because of his wheels. came in 3rd in the conference with a 385 batting average or 8th in the conference i should say. here is the 1-1 1 pitch with bases loaded. tagging and scoring on the play. hankens, 15-5, 2 out in the 9th. team leading -- he has 28 rbi on the season. here is robert chipmans that bulldogs are down to their final out. 0-4. 15

mets bought the infield in. >> rob: he got to play in arlishten a lot of years.toasting in the summer time. >> bob: i worked down there and we would look up at the score board, some nights it would be 199 and atonic down to 104. >> rob: in houston, we were thankful in the mild of the summer, you would sweat with the heat and humidity from the hotel to the cab, you would be soaked. soaken wet and then you get in the cab and you would freeze to death. and the astrodome was so cold, you needed long sleeves. >> bob: broken bat. wright throws a low bullet to jacobs for the second out. >> rob: that's too bad he got jammed there. and now he will take desmond like he did in the second. >> bob: they are talking about what they want to do about even pitching to the number 8 hitter. gauze man has come out. is he going to bat for the pitcher or desmond? guzman to the ondeck circle. he's for the pitcher. desmond still hanging around. jim said today, that guzman is scheduled to play second tomorrow and possibly right field on sunday. >> rob: he's swinging the bat really well r

rodriguez can play in the middle infield. they will all be in and out, depending on who is hot.all, 1 strike count. right now brignac getting a start at second. he fouled that one away. that will even you will the count at 2-2. -- even up the count at 2-2. orioles starters with a .389 e.r.a. in the first six ball games. 2-2 delivery. and down to 3rd base. backhand. two down. >> mike: one thing he has always been able to do is to sort of make it up with his arm. that ball was really swirling away from him. with a reach back and with a such good arm. >> gary: here is navarro batting in the number nine spot. the catcher, strikeout victim his first time up. navarro really struggled at the plate last year. started -- has started this season with much better numbers. 1 ball, 1 strike count on him. and off the end of the bat, and foul. raze at 3-3. the orioles at 1-5 as they start this three-game set. the orioles will have a long road trip coming up. oakland, seattle, and boston. tampa bay, this is their longest road trip of the year. ten games in eleven days. they go to boston for fou

furcal, the only dodger on the left side of the infield. >> rob: he knew ronnie wanted to go back to bob: they did that because if adam pulls the ball, they want furcal turning the double play because of his great arm. that guy has a cannon, always has. adam dunn at .176 with a homer, 4 rbis. the count is now 1-2. >> rob: a lot of times a knuckle baller will have a designated catcher so throw to because it's no fun to catch him. it's an absolute battle. it wears a guy down. russ martin was given the option of catching haeger. he said he would take his day off tonight. he'll catch the kid that throws 95 tomorrow. >> bob: adam dunn pops it up, left field. garret anderson. adam dunn's bat continues to be quiet. the dodgers and the florida marlins at 17 have made the most errors in the national league. belliard has 2. dewitt, a couple. that's not like the dodgers, who have always been built around good pitching and solid defense. >> bob: josh, with a .470 on- base percentage. he has twice as many walks as strikeouts. >> rob: gets the fastball by him. >> bob: willingham, third in the leag

maybe get a groundball to one of your infielders.ey are trying to advance the runners. of course, when you are hitting as well as franklin is, you are pretty relaxed. >> gary: real relaxed. 1 ball, 1 strike count. lugo trying to hold ichiro at second. hernandez with a 1-1 and he came in on him. that's going to take wieters out. he crossed up on that pitch. even though he hang on it to he immediately came out of the crouch. >> jim: a lot of times you do change signs with a runner at second. you can see right there he does get crossed up. easily that ball could have gone all the way to the backstop. >> gary: he leaning one way and the ball was going the other. they got that taken care of. ichiro at second. figgins at first. >> jim: one of the keys to the game, can you get your breaking ball over. right here a good chance to throw a breaking ball. >> gary: 1-2 delivery, and the fastball back over our head. a ball and 2 strikes. next time try not to come so quickly. give me a chance before you come into, all right? because you are just m

always been a firm infield here. gass grass is probably the best in major league baseball.st until the raiders start playing. >> gary: then it gets chopped. >> jim p: oh, does it ever. >> gary: the first rbi -- montanez only had one-at bat prior to this ball game. here's justin turner. he grounded out his first time up. and turner will take the pitch for a strike. so the orioles getting to anderson. four runs on six hits so far. and jumping out to the 4-0 lead. orioles trying to win on the road. their only win they have came at tampa bay, while this oakland team playing here at home, 6-1. >> jim p: turner, keep looking down at [ indistinct ] because he would be perfect. maybe you will start the runner. if it goes 2-1, you can see anderson anticipating that. his dad frank, coach at oklahoma state -- he's always been around the game. everybody i talk to said he not only has good stuff but a nice feel for the game and whatever. i think he figures maybe the orioles may do a little run and hit or hit and run. >> gary: one ball, one strike count. a slow chopper. he has to come ba

as a result of all of this, look at the orioles infield.o and scott, one guy, izturis playing where he should be. trembley said not only have i not had a bench all year, we've not had the team together all year. >> jim: the age of run prevention, the mariners did it better than anybody. the red sox got swept by the rays it has not worked for them this year. that's part of the game. you have to pick it, especially with a young pitching staff. they will to make the most out of it. lugo can play the infield. wigginton can play around. >> gary: you will get hurt in the game. you have guys playing out of position and there's no way in major league baseball you get away with that. >> jim: the other side of coin, you don't have a lot of choices. >> gary: you're asking guys to do the best they can in the positions, 0-2 to wigginton. that will miss outside. 1-2. wigginton hit by a pitch on the wrist, his first time up. and obviously, still in the ball game here, that's good news for the orioles. swung out and missed. second strikeout by fister retir

he is going to get a lot of base hits in the infield alone.s long as that batting average is high, we can use him up in the order and we just now it have to worry about whether he will be accomplished enough to steal a lot of bases. >> we mentioned the orioles over the weekend against the blue jays struggled with the bats. tonight the orioles get back a key bat that was not available in yesterday's game. let's head back to the masn booth. >> with a 1-5 record, there haven't been a whole lot of offensive highlights for the orioles this year. but garrett atkins has been one of them. he is off to a very good start, batting .350 on the year. he is coming off a tough year in the rockies. now, yesterday he was out of the lineup with a bruised shin. he took a foul ball off of his shin a couple days. you can imagine a position dave trembley was in. he was just five games into the season and already looking at his leadoff hitter for at least 15 days. we now know brian roberts is on the dl list. luckily, garrett atkins has come back from his bruised shi

he made an infield hit. >> mike: this is one of those if you playing normal defense it is right to the 2nd baseman. izturis has to come from behind 2nd base. you have to give pena credit for going down. >> gary: the pitching coach is coming up. obviously, he is going to get guthrie through the inning and that may be it as he crosses the 90 pitch mark. that will be hit number 8 for the rays. and matt albers up to throw for the orioles. upton coming up. two runs in. three hits in the inning. upton has struck out and flied out. texas had a 4-2 win over clear land today. carmona and rich harden blocked into one decision in that. it will be interesting. i was looking to see what vladimir guerrero did. he had a 1-4. his average dropped to 1.64. >> mike: there is the case of a guy who killed a club. didn't he have those great numbers against texas? >> gary: and he has kept it up. at least starting the first week. the you angels deciding not to reup vladimir guerrero. 2-0 count upton. we were talking about the numbers early on. pretty exage rated. here is the 2-0 pitch and that will be fouled

shift three infielders on the inside. 0-2. 1 for 5 for tampa bay with the runners in scoring position. >> jim: pena doubled his -- going the opposite way. guthrie has two strikeouts, he has walked just one batter. 2 in the first have not scored since. pena will be a free agent at the end of the year. he'll turn 32 in may. in his three years with the rays, this is his 4th season, he's had 36 -- each year he has driven in 100. >> another thing he's done as strikeout 163 times and that is exactly what jeremy guthrie needs right here, a punch out. >> jim: a ball and 2 strikes. crawford a lot of speed at third. then zobrist who's a good base runner. he's at 1st. 3 ahead of pena, 1 and 2. pitch out, nothing up . there's the two and two, fouled back this way. >> a little breaking ball right there, and they're going to have a little conference. go last to to last at-bat. that was a fast ball away, but jeremy tried to get down and got caught up in the zone and hit it over the head of nolan reimold. maybe a pop up, rick dempsey was talking about it in the pregame show. he said you -- he's a low

he take a look even with the infield drawn in.he plate and a 2-0 lead for oakland a's. >> mike: fastball and out over the plate. they have been taking the sure route, maybe a 5050 shot at getting davis out at the plate. >> gary: one of the things you hope for mike is they make a decision not to go on contact but with rajai davis' great speed bob geren had him going so they got the run. so again lead off man on in two of the three innings. lead off man got off with a single. this is exactly what billy bean was talking about, he said we have to score runs, not necessarily with hits. we have to play fundamentally sound baseball. >> mike: that was with nick markakis, it is an unearned run and 2-0 oakland lead. gecko: yeah right, that makes sense. boss: trust is key when talking about geico. you gotta feel it. why don't you and i practice that with a little exercise where i fall backwards and you catch me. gecko: uh no sir, honestly... uh...i don't think...uh... boss: no, no. we can do this. gecko: oh dear. vo: geico. fifteen minutes c

nyjer has not been outstanding i think the infielders is our strength on the bull club and you're lookingt pitching on defense and i think this is going to end up -- >> you've got a couple of more categories. the catchers, the defense. rodriquez heading for the hall of fame and willie yes always does something good, a hit or rbi. >> a minus i had to do that because nieves doesn't play enough and hitting .230. pudge 8 plus, plus, plus. he's done everything respectively and going down to the defense. i have to give the defense an overall a. he's been looking at a d minus defense for so long i'm excited to see this defense. that des has been a big plus, plus, plus for this bull club. >> thank you, mr. ray. thank you so much and i hope your numbers may be agree with the fox. who knows. we will take a break and ray and i will talk about this guy. he's headed from harrisburg. that's in extra pre-game for verizon fios tv, america's top-rated internet, and phone guaranteed for 2 years. that's fios price protection, and it saves you hundreds of dollars. fios delivers the best channel lineup and th

branch the paid 100 some thousand dollars so the rest of the venegas is still sitting somewhere in infield process. we argue there is no reason why the fines shouldn't be paid immediately and held in escrow if they want to appeal that way they do not get the benefit of that money in their pockets and encourage them to do this. i would point the panel back to 1977 and what this congress wrote that the fines should be paid in close proximity that time they were issued because that congress understood the failure to do that would lead to something similar to what we have currently. we would argue to pay those funds quickly. the second thing we would argue it think this whole pattern of the violation has been kicked around here pretty good. it is an absolute failure the way that it works right now. what should happen as while if you are appealing the cases, the defiance and if indeed you have been issued these penalties i think it is time for msha to take a close look at you even though you are appealing this because it may be too late as was the case at upper big branch while all of this is a

>> every adjustment that's made pitch by pitch by batteries, by infielders depending on the pitch that'son who's coming up next, depending on the situation in the game has the coach in the dugout done that, that's the signal for a no doubles defense, play deep, give up a single, don't give up an extra base hit. things like that. >> it's a chess board, constantly moving and thousands of variables. >> it's as though everyone on the field were connect bid elastic and when one moves they all move. >> george, where is the place of baseball today as compared to where it was when you wrote the book originally? we hear so much about nfl ratings, nascar perhaps surpassing baseball even. where does it fit in our society now? >> there was a time when baseball had the undivided attention of the country from april till michigan played ohio state. today there's six weeks between the last nba championship game and the first nfl pre-season game. the competition for the sports dollar, for the time on sports center, all the rest is more intense. in spite of this baseball continues to set attendance record
