you know, you look around at nick markakis, and there we go. who came in last night 98 miles per hour. i'm thinking about nick. he does use the whole field. anytime you can be all the way into august and you have 45 hits coming in, the last 48 to center and 49 to right field. i mean, can you use the whole field? any better than that? >> jim: that is why his consistency is what it is. 29 games since the all-star breaks he has base hits in 25 of the 29 games. pitch it away. hits it away. nick markakis is out. two men out. >> jim: it is funny. if you started to say okay, darren olive this is his 14th year in the big leagues. you would say well you know, does he have a great slide and you go well, no. but it is very good. how about his curve ball? he only throws 90 or whatever. but he can pitch. he makes pitches. and my point all day long, if you look at the 14 runs, eight for the angels and six, a lot of them have been on pitches where the pitchers just haven't executed like they would like to. >> third baseman in the coaches box up now the oriole

toward the middle and it gets to a base hit but nick markakis gets on with two men down a two-hit game for nick. he now has 40 multi-hit games and ties adam jones for the team lead. >> 36 consecutive games hit or walked, get go on base some way. so once again, the outsideout field will get a couple of steps deeper. good speed at first. here's aubrey huff, singled his last at bat. grounded out three times and popped up to third. the angels have caught 21% of the potential base stealers. 79% have made it successful. not much of a lead by nick. that is the one thing he said he was going to try to concentrate on, maybe stealing more bases a couple of years ago. i would imagine that would change next year. only five attempts. we can do so many other things well. the orioles really don't do a lot of running, except for cesar izturis and brian roberts and they rarely hit and run. nick has just five attempts on the year. he is talking about maybe stealing 20 in the season. >> that is not going to happen unless you attempt it. i think that is going back to what i talked about when joe tori let

then you get the nick markakis homerun to tie it up 6-6. at the end of the day, you had a guy you hoped sooner or later is go going to start pitching well. the orioles take advantage of the  ♪  ♪ tell me who's watching. (announcer) it's right here. it's easy. ♪ i always feel like somebody's watching me. ♪ it's the money you could be saving with geico.  >>> hey, welcome back, check out the numbers on the game total pitches used, 456. this game lasted four hours and 28 minutes, 37 total base hits, 64 total bases, five angels with at least three or more hits. the orioles left eight. some impressive numbers, as they beat them. >> i think overall, not crazy yet, but i got really good stuff, especially after the 1st inning. but you know, i managed to get the game started. ended up with a walk and morales threw a pitch that i wanted to get him out on. the slighter was down -- slider was down and he wrapped around an it. good fastball inside and he turned on it. something how it has been. the pitches aren't executi

two down. >> gary: that will bring up nick markakis. one for 6 in the ball game last night and nick has continued the league's longest streak of reaching base, 34 consecutive games. >> he did that with a line drive double over the 3rd base bat. with a hanging breaking ball and sizzles one down into left field corner. >> you're right about the pitching. if you are going to get into the postseason you bet irv two outstanding starter. >> santana will see him in the series. lackey has been outstanding. problems early on. elbow for santana, saunders as good as you want has had shoulder problems. he had a shot and is healing. last year they went 50 at home and 50 on the road, then not good in the postseason. >> gary: last night jered weaver is a winner. >> that will fall in for a base hit. markakis takes care of that in a hurry. he has an 8-game hitting streak and ups his consecutive on base streak to 35 games. >> the one thing about nick markakis, he was chiding luke scott by was watching the game the replay, you get really 10, can never say

nick markakis, his event is still open to the public.y would love to see you down at patterson park. it starts at 6:00 p.m. tonight. show up early if you are walking up to register, you don't have to be a good runner, you can do the one mile fun walk if you want to. go to right side foundation.org for more information. i know they are expecting a lot of people to welcome back up and they would love as many fans at patterson park as possible tonight after the game. tom? >> tom: amber will be reporting during the game and on the post game show. time to look at the angels lineup. tori missed more than 30 games with a groin injury. juan rivera, nine runs on the road. how about sean? most ever career bases by an angel dating back to the beginning of time. >> they are going to have to find a way to slow him down. for the orioles have to pitch out on him, it is going to give them another thought and he doesn't get so many good jumps. we have for make a, effort from the pitchers to make sure to hold the ball longer make him service and slow down

nick markakis and brian roberts have combined the season for 82 doubles. they are on pace to hit 116 and if they reach that mark they will tie a major record for the most doubles hit in a teammate. a long standing record there that brian roberts and nick markakis could soon break. jim in. >> jim: we know speaker owned palmer. george burns not only could he hit doubles, he was a funny guy. lived to be 100 imjim i wonder if graci was a big baseball fan? >> jim: you are low asking high fast ball, couldn't get your speaker out? >> jim: apparently not. couldn't get burns out, either. >> jim: very impressive. scott against sean o'sullivan in the second. number three draft choice. >> jim: he was rated coming into this season by baseball america as the fifth best prospect in the angels's organization. the projection was he would spend the entire season in the double a. he is over but runs out of room. he has pitched in only 82 minor league games, including his time in the minors this year. he has 37 minor league wins. this year he has seven starts here in the big

markakis. he is taking for a strike. nick has moved ahead of adam jones for the orioles with the best numbers in running position by one point. markakis is hitting at .242. so only one point separates them. scutaro mooing in. the pick-off attempt. >> buck: obviously brian in this situation here early in his ballgame, the fourth inning, if he can get to third base, i doubt that cito gaston would pull the informed in. 11 times he has stolen third base this year. he has been caught zero. he gets great jumps, and he really reads the pitchers' head. >> gary: scutaro is not giving him room. boy, he took a big jump and doesn't go. barajas has then out 33% of base stealers. >> buck: watch the back of ricky romero's head that is what he tees awe of when he looks at home, romero. obviously he is going to see the back of the head, and then he will look back at the base runner. >> gary: one ball, one strike count? slightly inside. causing a minor irritation to the hitter. 2-1. >> buck: just minor irritation. up and in. you're trying to h

davidson, the most to call a balk. >> buck: and there, looking as justin masterson. >> jim: and nick markakis 1. nick has sat in two straight games, and amazingly consistent season for markakis. >> buck: here is the 0-1, a little outside. >> buck: justin masterson throws a lot of sinking fastballs. they move, he will throw a hard change up and one pitch he was really trying to develop. the last pitch to markakis but he hasn't been able to develop a consistent release point with it. >> jim: popped out of the glove of toregas, and just behind his feet, so 1-2. adam has only 4 steels on the year. not really attempted systems the orioles expected this year. as you remember in the training, both he and nick markakis talked quite a bit about adding that aspect to the game, stealing bases. >> buck: masterson is really quick. he has a short arm stroke, and moves quickly with his feet. >> jim: so adam getting good lead off 1st base. being held there by andy marte. >> buck: jones picks it up there, stays at 2nd base. >> jim: that will be a stolen base for adam jones' 5th. >> buck: a lot of movement on

markakis will tag. nick will head, and the throw is too strong. he's got to go back. good arm of sizemore, and melvin mora, the fly ball out. one away. mora gave ate ride, but to the deepest part of the ballpark. luke scott comes in with a four- game hit streak. luke had a 1-4 in the ballgame last night getting the start at first base. cleveland rotates the infield putting the shift on here. i mean putting the shift on. and he hits into it. and he's got a base hit! markakis had a stop to make sure he didn't get hit by the ball that will be a hard single by scott. two on, one down. >> buck: and against the shift, luke hits it hard enough to get it past valbuena into right field. the second baseman shifted over and he can't make a play and marte didn't bounce off the bag very quickly, and that ball was right between the first baseman and the second baseman. >> gary: so the orioles have only one away and two on. matt wieters will stand in. mat had a 1-4 in the ballgame last night. he continues to up his offensive numbers in about every category batting at .263. this is t

i'm taking nick markakis. >> i would if i were you. >> this guy has hits in every game except for four all-star break. i liked that double last night. markakis tonight has a big game. what the heck, you won with him, i can win with him. >> if my guy wins, you'll know i've got the voodoo. >> tonight it's the orioles and the athletics, as david hernandez tries to help the birds snap a three game losing streak. gary thorne and jim palmer are next. they'll have the play-by-play. matt wieters gets the night off. chad moeller will catch. it's brad bergesen t-shirt night, it is hot, it is humid and we have orioles baseball coming right up.   >> gary: it's the orioles o masn. we welcome you to camden yards as tonight the a's will take on the orioles. o's will try and get out of that tonight. for the orioles last night, an ace on the mount. jeremy guthrie. it's been a struggle all season. for the orioles, not the kind of season they wanted for him, certainly for jeremy not the kind of season he had hoped for. last night dave trembley talked about the performance of jeremy g

nick markakis luke scott a rare start in left field and matt wieters. how about brian roberts?a lot of different weapons he can use. not only is he an excellent hitter, 155 hitters hits on the season so far. he's got 54 walks. he has one of the best eyes and it kind of proves my point about him being an excellent two-strike hitter is he can take very close pitches. he has no fear whatsoever that it's going to be called a ball. he usually gets himself in hitters counts right here. he's a little man with a big man swing. he can power the ball through the gaps overt outfielders' heads because they like to play him a little schall yoa. they don't expect he has the kind of power he really shows. he has 14 home runs on the season. they better start respecting something that. little guy can flat out hit. >> roberts is exactly halfway to killing the team of 52 consecutive games reaching base. you look at the catchers. matt wieters, joe mauer, compare the two. >> it's very hard to compare them. remember back to when joe mauer started there was a lot of similarities. neither of -- neithe

nick markakis has struck out and popped out. ick with a ru jones, the orioles 9th hits of the ball game. nick will take it in the dirt and it guess by. going down to second base will be jones. that one looked like through the wickets of naopli. >> usually the way they judge whether it's wild or a pass is if it bounces. it does but should have been caught. mike knows that. mike naopli, former catcher knows that. it didn't bounce out that far that you shouldn't have blocked it. >> it'll go as a wild pitch and put a runner in scoring position now for markakis. >> how about getting the runner over and in? >> nobody out. swoun on and miss. that's the pitcher has been using against him. >> these are the situational as we look at matt palmer, 8-1 as starter. out of the bullpen with you situational hitting get the runner over. you have huff with the double. bring him up, may bring the infield in. make him a better hitter. >> long look by weaver. markakis jammed. 74 pitches have been thrown by weaver. that's one of the reason there's is a

. >> nick markakis like this way the orioles are playing. >> i think wire coming together pretty good a lot of the young guys are getting their time in, getting their plate appearances, getting their at bats, and gets what they need to get better. our pitchers are doing great. it's a long road, but slowly coming together, and i think the pieces are falling in place. >> you guys were able to get after the pitcher early today. what did company see from him early? >> just made him get the ball up. when he get this ball down early, he's one of the best, but if he get this ball up, good things happen. >> did you guys need a series win like this, and how much did you need it? >> it was a big day for me. i think the last couple of types out have been better. last start, the last game was a little rough, but i think throughout the year, i've gotten better and better. and today was one of those days. chad called an awesome game, i felt, and it was just one of those days where fortunately i kept everything down and kept the ball in the park. >> what did you like that you saw there? >> just what
