nolan, 1-it on the -- 1-2 on the night with a single. curve ball outside. 1-0. firestone league leaders. let's take a look at the rookies and the rbi leaders. there's nolan reimold 17 leading chris getz of the white sox among the rookies. brett gasher of the yankees ahead of reimold in batting average. nolan still leads in home runs and rbi's. >> buck: yeah, he's done a nice job coming up here and displaying some early power. it's something we have talked about often how younger players like reimold have a tens tendency to develop a little better power swing as they get more comfortable. a little more knowledge of theleague. a little more confidence when to take that big swing. he has not really ever made me think he was trying to hit home runs. he's just got legitimate power. he doesn't have to pull it to hit it out. he can hit it out anywhere in the ballpark. >> jim: 17 home runs combine. nine in triple-a, eight here with the birds. 1-2 on him. and he got him. that is a huge out for sean west as he got ahead of reimold and got him to wave at a breaking ball fo

. >> gary: nolan hitting at .281, three doubles and seven homers. had an 0 for 2 in the opener last night. 1-0 pitch is going to be put in the air and foul. speaking of last night, there's a young lady named lane celebrating a birthday, we're continuing to today from her real birthday yesterday. tim is our director, lane is his daughter. so happy birthday lane, and i apologize that i didn't get it in last night, but birthdays should be extended so we'll continue the celebration today. >> jim: no older really. maybe a day, but the number's the same. >> gary: the father has advised us that there will be no additional presents despite our attempt to continue the day. fastball is taken inside. that is foul back. the count will stay at 2-2. orioles in this home stand have won three and lost four. the game tonight and tomorrow, the final two ballgames of the home stand. then they're on to philadelphia for a weekend series for three. way outside, slider away. another 3-2 count. >> jim: the one thing about nolan reimold, i had heard about him for years. i n

nolan reimold will run it down. now everybody -- that's the way they play castillo.e we played maury wills in the '66 series. shallow and left. >> gary: he'll slash it away when he has the opportunity. reimold way over on the foul line. big gavin in left center. >> jim: look at jones. they really should be. >> gary: castillo batting ninth. hit into a double play and ground out. baez 0-1 to him. castillo, two at-bats in the times he's fit faced geaz baez. he's hitting a the .280. 14 rbi's. gets an rbi chance with schneider throughout with two down. >> jim: he's stolen some bases 7-9. >> gary: castillo, 1-1 to him taken down low for a ball. albers in the bullpen now. first time up for albers. castillo, 33 years old. a .292 career major league batting average. a good one. 2-1 delivery to him. that slider is going to catch the inside corner for a strike and it will go 2-2. >> jim: certainly not the runner that scored -- stole 50, 62 bases when he first came up with the marlins because of the age and the knee problem. he's got to get on base and turn the double play, play

nolan reimold. two runs in on the markakis homer here in the sixth. it's made it a 4-2 game. times may be tough today, but the things we all look forward to haven't changed. like owning a home. watching our children grow. and retiring with confidence. so whatever you're looking forward to, m&t bank is here to help you get there. m&t bank. understanding what's important. >> gary: this copyrighted telecast presented by authority of the orioles may not be reproduced or retransmitted and accounts and descriptions of the game may not be disseminated without express written consent of the orioles. so, on the bench, mike pelfrey with a chance to win his fifth game against two losses depending on the what the bullpen does for him and 30- year-old sean green out of the beautiful state and area of louisville, kentucky, comes on to do the pichtion. >> jim: he retired 27-37 and none scored in the last 12 1/3 innings. you get butts -- j.j. putz coming over. he's out with bone spurs. he had his elbow. he ca

and reimold reaches. >> buck: this has happened to more oh pockets with nolan reimold hitting.ticipate he run this is well. ramirez takes too much time. it's a hotshot to his left. watch ramirez. watch how relaxed he is, takes his time and now he looks up and reimold is there. he had to force the throw. nolan reimold has caught more middle infielders flat footed because of his speed. >> jim: so he hustles and he's on with one down, and that breaks the streak of 13 in a

nolan hitting 6-20 on the homestand. back inside. chop it foul. he ground out his first time up. the orioles errors that have been committed this season have seemingly been so costly they led the fleeing unearned runs surrender. there's one in this game. that was a big error in the fourth inning at least to this point on what looked like a double play and what cleared the bases. nobody out, there are two on with nobody out. from there, the nats got four runs. 2-2 delivery on the way. that is taken down low. reimold force a three ball, two strike count. >> jim: you go back to that inning. obviously, didn't want to walk the 20-year-old rookie. we tawkd talk about jeremy guthrie. he got beltran second in hitting in the national league to hit a potential double play ball. >> gary: 34-7b 2 delivery fouled -- 3-2 delivery fouled back. >> jim: the probable is you try to pickup -- pick youup your teammate. they're in the heart of your lineup not the first time through. masset that's where the mets made great adjustments. jeremy didn't make good pitches. >> gary: mets took advantage. >> j

.: i guess on friday down at the cage, i was talking to nolan, i said, were you always like that way. hitting instructor said, well, most guys will learn how to hit for power once they get to the big leagues, he's already figured that out. watch him get back on his right foot. and that little toe tap. that's the smoo.thness of the swing. reimold down on strikes. >> rob: that last one was a 96- mile an hour moving fastball. hitters will let you know how you're throwing. that ball just runs away and down. you can't hit a two run homer with nobody on base. >> jim p.: that reminded me a little bit of sean green from the mets with a little more velocity. >> jim h.: luke scott now. >> jim p.: it's kind of interesting the way they try oh go after nolan reimold. a pretty good fastball hitter. at the end of the day what did he come back to. >> rob: fastball. >> jim p.: his best pitch. >> rob: absolutely. if he hits a home run, you're still up a run. that's the kind of stuff we've been talking about. think about it before you walk up to the plate. what are you looking to do. you need to get on.

nolan reimold will run it down and hanley ramirez has the lead- off double. he was ahead of the hitter and couldn't put him away. >> buck: that ball got up. he elevated this pitch and he didn't miss it. watch the height of the pitch. you can see the target is down, but look at where the pitch special. the top of the strike zone. 2-2. it looked like a high split-finger pitch. and uehara is lucky that hanley ramirez didn't get that thing elevated. he hammered that. and now when you look at it and look back over the course of the inning, it is six hits in the last eight at-bats. >> jim: so koji now with the go- ahead run at second base. here is the clean-up hitter, jorge cantu. >> buck: actually it is five hits in the last seven at-bats, and they have just figured out uehara. he's got to counteract their adjustment and the bullpen will begin to loosen up down down the left fieldline line. >> jim: there is brian bass. he just did get up. the orioles have been outhit in this game now 7-1. high pop-up. and andino is backing up into the shallow left field, and he ha

andrew miller gets ahead of nolan reimold. no balls and two strikes. reimold has three hits on the trip. he started two of the three games in philadelphia. he has eight hits over his last 11 games. so mora is back. if the orioles were going to put on a play, it is unlikely now with no balls and two strikes on reimold. melvin has just two steals on the year. the pitch is bounced back. it is a 1-1 game in the seventh. >> buck: i think it is still on, the two-run home run. it's still on! >> jim: that's a good call by the manager. if it was only that easy. how often kid you call that? >> buck: not often enough obviously. [ laughter ] >> jim: 0-2 on reimold. and he got him a good breaking ball and reimold is down on strikes, and the orioles go down in the seventh, a walk and a man left. the seventh inning stretch brought to you by jack daniels tennessee whiskey. please drink responsibly. sam adams boston lager is my favorite because it has so much flavor. so i wanted to design a glass that would enhance the taste of boston lager. we did a laser etch on the

nolan reimold now in the number six spot. takes a fastball high.entioned last night that reimold and luke scott will be thrilled to get back to baltimore for tomorrow's investigate. there's only three games left in interleague and they will be american league rules at camden yards this weekend which means reimold can count on being in left field and luke scott cancount on dhing or at least have the option to do so. orioles will face yet ano left-handed pitcher tomorrow. so, dave trembley always has the option of putting wigginton in there, but you get the hitter back. >> buck: it's been an unbelievable stretch of left- handers they have faced lately going all the way back to the seattle series on the west coast. >> jim: sheer base hit to right eld for nolan reimold. good piece of hitting there going with it and he's on with a one-out single. the orioles have their and nd brunner >>let's take a look at the pnc scouting report for the big left-hander sean west. fastball, slider, changeup. he has a very smooth delivery. that's a problem for hitt

nolan at .287 on the season played straightaway. the slider will myth miss outside. 1-1..278 on the road. 4-7 of his home runs have been hit here at home. 1-1 delivery. that slider. that's the thing he doesn't do as a young player, chase that slider that's just off the plate. >> jim: he's seen a lot of them. the book on him, to me he's a really good highball hitter, but a fastball hitter. that's the one thing when guys would come to the big leagues, i wantedded to know can he hit the fastball. the guys that can't, don't have much of a chance of being successful up here because they'll always be trying to cheat on the fastball which means they're very susceptible to breaking balls of all kinds. >> gary: 3-1 delivery fouled back hard by reimold. he got a good cut on that one. >> jim: that is what you like to see. young hitter, fastball count. it wasn't an out of control swing. it wasn't a pull swing. it was i'm going to hit this ball as hard as i can back up the middle with my strength it's going to get hard. >> gary: 3-2 delivery a little off that pitch also up there. that

only other hit is a nolan reimold base hit. actually, wigginton had a single into center field. so, markakis has more than half the hits tonight. that's his third a bullet pass the diving second baseman dan uggla. that's a good sign. get nick going again. >> jim: again, orioles are a long ball away from getting back into this game. they continue to get base runners. they've had base runners in all seven of their at-bats. they can't get the big hit to get a run in. here is adam jones. hard had been hit -- hard-hit ball the but right to the shortstop ramirez. there's the force on markakis. a hit, a walk and two men left. seventh inning stretchtime in miami. tonight's seventh inning stretch brought to you by jack daniel's tennessee whiskey. please drink responsibly. now that college is a few years behind me, it seems i've got three times the bills i used to. and they're getting in the way of things i'd like to do. with the money bar, i can move my money around instantly, so when there's more bills than usual, it's no problem. and i use the wish list to put any extra money aside for

nolan reimold, here he is leading off in the second against john lannan.team has had a base runner via a walk. >> rob: i like what wil nieves is doing right off the bat. he's pounding on the dirt saying put this ball down low. >> jim p.: there's your fastball in. i think you really have to command both sides of the plate. let's give lannan some credit. anybody who throws 87 to 93. >> rob: no, he's not a soft tosser. but we have zimmerman, detwiler can rush it up there at 95. he's not afraid to attack any hitter. >> jim p.: that's going get a

the hitter will be nolan reimold with two outs. >> rob: i spoke with bob boone the other day, the vice president in charge of player development for the nationals, caught over 2,000 games. there you see that great change- up to huff. he said, you can no longer throw to a catcher and hit the glove and get the called strike. you can't put the catcher's body out away from the plate any longer. they're not calling that. that's because of this evaluation zone camera in every ballpark, so they're having to reteach the catchers in the minor league systems to move the glove away from the plate, leave their bodies behind home plate. >> jim p.: that's why giving a target is so important. you try to do it late. some hitters do look down. josh bard right here. moves in early. >> bob: that results in a grounder pulled, to zimmerman, on to belliard. the orioles are gone in the bottom of the third. from that first dollar forward, cash flow isn't just an important thing to small business. it's everything. that's why pnc is introducing your new cfo, cash flow options designed to effectively improve you

there's that battling eye of nolan reimold. lannan a lead-off walk. >> jim p.: i think it's very comfortable when you're a nolan reimold, even if you've only been in the big leagues for less than a month, that your swing is so sound you can wait and wait and wait and you can hit the ball to all fields that you don't feel that you have to expand the strike zone, and you don't see that with a lot of young hitters. it's just against what i've seen over 40 years. >> rob: it doesn't hurt that there's a guy with 14 home runs behind with you a lot of pop. you're going to see a lot of good pitches. >> jim h.: the other thing the orioles have done, terry has worked very hard with this group on their overall approach, is they don't strikeout a lot. the orioles have struck out fewer than any team in the american league. so the moral of the story is, if you put the ball in play, good things will happen. so you work the count, you look for a good pitch and you go for it. that's one of the things that he works on every day. scott rips it dow

. >> nolan reimold is back in the fifth spot. he told me it's where he feels comfortable. dave trembley said realistically he could have been bumped up to the fifth spot about a month ago but he didn't want to overload the rookie with too much too soon. he's a power hitter but he doesn't free swing. he shows discipline. he can draw walks. he can hit to the right side of the field. dave trembley said he credits his ability to listen and also his nature with why he's been able to develop so quickly here in the big leagues. >> jim h.: thank you very much. you see he's four out of his last eight. eight home runs on the year. he had nine in triple-a before his call up in mid may. joined the team in kansas city. moving up to number five, more responsibility. he's got a good batting eye. >> jim p.: the great thing if you're a starting pitcher is when they get you two runs before you even go out there, because at least my theory was, i've got to give up three runs before i'm going to relinquish this lead. you don't command your stuff, all of a sudden you're going to allow the orio

. >> jim: ball one to nolan reimold who is in the six spot and there is a strike. 1-1 the count.here is a shard smash rite to uggla and the first two ground balls and the first two quick outs. the one thing about andrew miller, even though his e.r.a. is 4.56, he does keep the baseball in the ballpark. he has allowed only two home runs on the year. both to right-handed batters. and he has allowed only one home run over his last five starts coming into this game. >> buck: you can see the last couple of balls sharply hit. they were on the ground. you're not going to get them elevated when you're in the zone. he has pitched much better here in this ballpark. this is a pretty good pitcher's ballpark. it is not unlike fenway park when if you keep the hitters to center and right field, you have a lot of room to pick up some outs. >> jim: matt wieters takes. 2-0, the count on matt. wieters, 1-07 -- 1-7 on the trip. he caught two of the three games in philadelphia. gregg zaun lad the huge game when he caught on saturday night. matt started friday and sunday. he is batting at .246. there i

. >> jim: and really elijah dukes, maybe he showed the way the inning was going, but nolan reimold didhis b.j. surhoff where he made an impression, he went down in the corner and made a perfect throw, otherwise elijah dukes just roars into third base and it looked like he was safe anyway, but the reimold throw made it close enough to get the call. >> bob: 3-1 the count on josh willingham. >> bob: albers has allowed two singles in this inning. the nationals now with seven hits. it is inside, ball four. and he has loaded the bases. so bergesen went six innings, baez one and now albers, and albers has allowed three base runners now with two men down. >> jim: i was watching him the other night, jim, and for a guy, one, he starts below his belt and then goes all the way up. i used to start maybe a little bit higher and george said if you're going to bring your hands way up, why don't you just kind of rest your arms. so it looks to me -- >> rob: sometimes less is more. >> jim: way up there. >> rob: his first movement is up. >> jim: so why not start higher. number one, you're quicker to the p

nolan reimold here leading off in the sixth.t will be done for jason berken after just five innings. quickly 0-2 on reimold. >> buck: this is the reimold pinch-hit here early in the ballgame. he's the least experienced off the bench, and you just send him up there to try to get on base to lead the inning off. not pinch-hit a lot in his career. just send him up there hoping that he can run into one and start the inning and turn the lineup over. save your more experienced hitters for later on hopefully in a game-type situation with a chance to win the ballgame. >> jim: just outside. reimold and luke scott are the two players on the this team that will be thrilled to get back to baltimore on friday and get back to national league rules -- american league leels leagues. the american league with no dh have affected those two on the team more than any other because dave trembley has been flip flopping them to get them both in the lineup. >> buck: it's a real challenge for american league manager to play interleague games because you h

nolan ryan was on it in -- nolan reimold was on it in 2006. many of the players in their second professional season are playing for the shore birds right now. l. j. hose who is from bowie and xavier aavery have -- avery have pleasant memories being drafted by the orioles last year. >> i was happy, you know. i didn't know who gfs to take me till draft day. nobody knows until the draft. i was really excited and stuff. >> it's been great. i mean, especially coming from bowie being drafted by the hometown team, drafted by the orioles has been a great experience. >> xavier aavery -- avery and l. j. who hes drafted. avery was taken in the second round. who hes was taken in the third round. they both excelled on the gulf coast league and are currently classmates on delmarva. their batting coach thinks highly of both l. j. and avery. he'll be a good, tremendous talent. he'll be one of the guys that's going to be -- you know, he has a major league tulle tour right now with his speed and his ability to make contact with the baseball right now. l.j. is d

nolan reimold has drawn a wawm walk. he's 0-2 officially in the ballgame.rioles are down by four here in the bottom half of the ninth inning. they have been out hit 11-7. they have surrender three unearned runs in this game --verned three unearned games in this -- runs in this game which throughout the game have loomed mighty big. one ball, one strike count. reimold and a check swing that's a strike. 1-2. >> jim: pretty good fastball right there with a little tail. the only number that is a little disturbing is that the first batter has reached nine times out of 31st batters. he's only retired the first guy 21-30. if reimold gets on, all of a sudden the tying run comes to the plate. that's a big if. >> gary: one ball, two strike count on reimold. runners on first and second base. reimold will take it down the line in right field headed to the seats and it is out of play. no really averages against rodriguez. left-handers hitting .119 and right-handers .192. that's ridiculous. he's given up only one home run that to a reasoned they are year. francisco rodrig

nolan reimold returns to left field as he got the night off last night. jones and markakis round out the defense. andino and roberts, the double play combination. mora and wigginton at the corners and matt wieters catches of the this is his fourth game in a row. this is the fourth time he's done this in the big leagues -- first time he's dug done this in the big leagues catching four in a row. >> jim: dan uggla bats now. uggla moves up one spot with jeremy hermida not in the lineup. gets a fastball 1-0. uggla now in his fourth season with the marlins coming -- he already has 14 this year. he's 4-8 in the series including a home run. inside, ball three. >> buck: pretty good pitch just missed away. rich hill thought he hadmate made a good pitch with that fastball. >> jim: john hirschbeck the crew chief takes the plate. there's a flake -- if it was in the vicinity, it would be a strike. noafts as much a pitcher's up pier as he was earlier -- earlier in his career. 3-1 is there for a strike in the outside corner. 3-2. >> buck: this is one thing rich hill did

nolan ryan. we have 5-1. they're not done in the sixth. about the baltimore chopper, aubrey huff there, brings in brian roberts and adam jones. orioles score eight in the sixth inning, tied for their most prolific inning of the season. they get their 100th interleague win. they're just 100-127 all time. >> meantime, in cleveland, the reds, facing the cincinnati. ryan -- facing the indians. garko's, seventh home run of the year, harang winless in his last six starts. they've dropped 7 of their last road games to cleveland. trady sizemore, four straight games with an rbi. >> nascar rolling into new hampshire this week. how tony stewart won the poll without taking a lap. after flirting with the 50s in yesterday's first round, kenny perry was dodging raindrops in connecticut. like the rest of us. we'll tell you if he's still leading. would you like to see our new menu? look at this! (laughing) - woooh, nice! - that's a lot of food! yo, those things are so-o good. mmm, amazing. you think anybody can eat that whole thing by themselves? it's like

nolan reimold also three hits last night. luke scott will be the dh for the o's, gregg zaun will be catching and robert andino will be batting ninth. the nationals trying to even up the series tonight at camden yards against baltimore. one of the questions i think everybody's asking, ray, as we go to nightly notes, knightly. >> the k is silent. >> yes, the k is silent. let's touch on the problems of joel hanrahan. we know he can pitch. he's proven that before, when he's on, he's very good. when he's not on, there's problems. >> we've got a tape here, we just, you know, he's got a great fastball. probably the best fastball in our ball club. he's got a devastating slider, but sometimes he doesn't command either one of them. when he does command, we're going to show you how effective he can be. last year seven saves. as he was able to throw the fastball and elevate it. when you get a fastball number this area and you're throwing 97, hitters have to cheat. they're going to chase that pitch. you're going to see where he throws a b

nolan reimold takes a seat tonight. >> gary: off the en of the bat, first base, long run, crosby.ce play. over the mound. homerun by scott, orioles get on the board and it's 7th inning stretch time brought to you by jack daniels, tennessee whiskey. please drink responsibly.  one away as kennedy goes down we want to remind you that two orioles will be out in the community on tuesday. you can spend your lunch hour with pitcher brad berg son. wednesday, adam jones will be signing autographs at the wendy's on west nursery road from noon to one as well. for details on community appearances, go to orioles reach.com. >> gary: cuss had a big ballgame in ballgame with the homerun in the 1st inning. ahead of the matt holliday homerun. so there are six runs in tw swings of the bat. >> gary: here is the 2-0. grounded to first base. wigginton will take it to : alberto castillo does exactly what his role is, to get left handers out. now he has to deal with matt holliday who had a three-run homerun his last at-bat. alberto handcust easily and kennedy to get left ers out co out of the bul

his second hit of the ballgam, and nolan re -- rye mold will take it down low. he has gone 0-1 at a pinch hitter. but overall, .283, big offense of numbers for him, 7 home ru, 16 rbis, and 3 doubles. there's wieters -- hoping that runner took his place. felix pie will hopefully get t tied. rodriguez looking back. reimold it get it by. >> this will be the 27th pinch hit for the orioles. mets have 88. all the bench players. double switches. no dh. >> gary: 2-0 count to reimold. and it's ball 3 outside. reimold will be followed by brian roberts at the top of te order. 23,009 on hand, the announced attendance. 3-0 delivery, reimold taken al the way. and it's in there for a strik. like livan hernandez who stard the game, rodriguez a lower average by hitters when there are runners on base. 83.083 with runners on. .197 when bases are empty. there's the 3-1 delivery. reimold will take it. ball 4. two on, nobody out, 9th inning. here is how the voting is g. you can still text in your vo results owner the os extra post game show.

in an office most people think of as doing the work nolan is suggesting, deciding which techniques to be used. the office of legal policy. it has an important role in the transparency question. that has been your background. there has been some disappointment on the progressive side too. the question about withholding vice-president chaney's testimony to patrick fitzgerald, that came up as a political question. tell us about the legal policy, how would you assess the administration's efforts? >> just to start off, it is nice to see so many young friends, and that at scan mentions was certainly an honor. they have one on one conversations, and the short history, many of you have given me advice and insight and support and i appreciate that. some of you are the part of the it ministration, many of you, the next 4 or 8 years. please stay engaged, your talents, your energy, you really sustain us. being here and continued, please continue. there are so many people who would say to me, how are and in georgetown? , what is going on, when are you guys going to release more torture memos? if t

just like nolan reimold. you get diamonds notice rough.t pick in that first round, it motivates some young guys to show what they are worth. >> the players development is the rife blood of many systems. elsewhere in the american league tonight, let's start with the red sox and the rangers at fenway park. ian kins letter, top of the 5th, already 1-0 rangers. and kinsler makes it 4-0. boston strands 2 and texas holds on to win. kevin millwood was solid. >>> toronto, lyle overbay, a homerun off zach greinke, the first homerun that greinke has allowed. and overpay again pulls this one over the head. that made it a 6-0 game and the blue jays go on to win it by a final of 9-3. greinke suffers the loss. he goes just five innings, clearly his poorest outing of the year. rangers over 0 the red sox by a final of 5-1. elsewhere in the american league, the angels in detroit and a 2-1 final as ervin santana goes 8 2/3 to get the swing. justin verlander, 8 innings, no runs on 4 hits. the angels win it. carl pavano goes the distance on the shutout, three

zaun and huff with so low -- solo home runs, and nolan reimold's shot which gave the orioles the lead jim p.: if you're a nationals fan, you know what mike mcdougal's job is, keep it right there. if you keep it within two runs, then george sherrill, first man that gets on, tying run comes to the plate. >> jim h.: there's the dreaded lead-off walk when you're trying to do just that. so the orioles now can play for an insurance run here in the 8th inning. the orioles wives will be hosting a silent auction on monday and tuesday during the orioles red sox games here at camden yards. the auction will continue through the end of the 7th inning. the proceeds of monday's auction will benefit the university of maryland hospital for children and the proceeds on tuesday will honor maryland native and former angels pitcher nick adenhart to benefit the memorial fund. felix pie will pinch run to get more speed on there. orioles looking for an insurance run and melvin mora takes a strike. melvin, 0 for 3. struck out his last at-bat. orioles have eight hits tonight after getting 16 last night. a win

he and nolan reimold were the heart of the order for the norfolk triple-a team. >> jim: andino leading from first. none down. salazar. that ball is trouble and that ball is going to fall in for a base hit. andino picked it up and he makes it all the way to third. three straight hits for the orioles. when you get your bat on the ball and put it in play, sometimes good things happen. that ball is just a bloop and it just hit and stayed fare. >> buck: salazar has a knack for getting a hit. that's what you want a guy off the bench put it in play. you never know what might happen. not necessarily beautiful, but effective. andino, as jim mentioned, that he picked up quickly that it was going to fall safely. the orioles have something going here in the eighth. >> jim: adam jones, and salazar gets one off the end of the bat the other way. here is roberts. here is a foul back. 0-1. so the orioles through the first seven innings against andrew miller, one run on one hit. in this inning, three consecutive hits. >> buck: they're thrilled miller is out of the game. 0-1 on roberts. lined down the ri

.: with nolan reimold, you figure the way this young man has been hitting, that you're one swing awaytying it up. controlled aggression. >> bob: he's been on base seven times. four hits and three walks. >> rob: i think he's like any young hitter. the key is to get ahead, then try oh get him out by making him expand. you can't do that when you're behind him. >> bob: he tries to put it under his hands. >> jim p.: it was like the perfect 1-2 pitch and he took it. >> bob: another one. >> jim p.: i asked wade boggs, how do you end, i'm sure every hitter has a little different dif advice, how do you know if the ball's inside. he said, where i hold my hands. if the ball's inside that, i know it's off the plate. so they have a guideline. >> bob: huff on the move. shallow right field for elijah dukes, lannan pulling the string on a 3-2 pitch and he's through six. so are the nationals. ♪ ♪ i always feel like somebody's watching me. ♪ (announcer) it's right here, it's easy... ♪ always feel like mebody's watching me. ♪ ...it's the money you could be saving with geico. ♪ who's watching? ♪ i always

you will get an autograph photo of nolan reimold with his walkoff homerun and four seats, you get an ought graphed picture of matt wieters with his first hit. luke scott, melvin mora on with the second hit for the orioles. scott, .323, 12 homeruns, 32 rbis, trying to move mora around. what a season so far for the orioles' usual dh, starting in left field in this game. braden's pitch, pops that one way up in the air. kurt suzuki coming back, does not have a play. >> buck: luke scott is so confident right now, it does not matter who he faces. first game back from d l, he faced halladay and took him deep. 0-2 delivery on the way, breaking ball, that got him. he got jelly legged on that one. that will be strikeout number 3 for braden. >> buck: difficult to hang in there as you take a look at a guy you have not seen in a while. what's the reaction? luke don't think so. looked like it was borderline up as well. this is not a great breaking ball but certainly not one that he would expect to have called strike 3. you can see his reaction. >> gary: you saw ty wigginton shadow standing, trying

nolan ryan in his first years not good. sandy koufax retired because of a bad elbow at 29. you know, you want the guy to play to 39, 49. >> johnny: lannan delivers, base hit to left. a run will score. roped to left field as gonzalez gets a base hit. drive in the reds second run of the afternoon. it is a 2-0 cincinnati lead. for gonzalez, his 17th rbi of the season. adam rosales will step in. has one of the base hits off of lannan today. fouled out of play. i think we are all going to watch these negotiations with much interest and see -- the deadline is august 15th. >> rob: i'm kind of over it already. you just got drafted. i'm worried about the kids up here right now. we have enough great arms at the big league level. he wants the take a vacation, take the summer off. sandy koufax signed for $4,000 and was known as a bonus baby. >> johnny: 4,000 bucks. is this kid better than sandy koufax? i don't know. >> rob: nice strikeout there by john lannan. >> johnny: that is his first of the afternoon. there's two down. and the reds with two on. first and second. and we go to the r

nolan reimold will have to chase it down. that one heads to the corner. willingham stays hot. his third hit. three hits for josh willingham. time now for you to text in your vote for the at&t player of the game. john lannan has hell the orioles to one run through seven innings. or oscar salazar who has the rbi. john lannan on the bench. >> rob: you don't know how happy that makes me feel when i see couple of national names up on that list and not three orioles guys. >> jim h.: it's all one big family here. >> rob: and if we do win today, it will be 12-12 in the beltway series a lot riding on this game. >> jim p.: if you really want to go, they would have won nine out of the last 16, too. make yourself feel better if you're a national fan or a national broadcaster. >> rob: there you go. >> jim h.: this is the final game of the interleague. the completion of the six interleague series. the orioles won five of the six interleague series. >> rob: that's going to be long flight now to marlinville. >> jim p.: no, it won't. on southwest it's 2:10 every time. always scheduled 2:25. th

here's nolan reimold, hat he did last night, that drive that josh willingham never saw.ones and huff aboard. his ninth of the year. the big hit of that ballgame last night. he's been large in this series. >> jim p.: one of the stronger guys is sitting on deck is luke scott. he's a littler guy. >> rob: the astros gave jon. , the minshgave up you g >> jim p.: we did give up eric. >> rob: i won't get into that one. but you got adam jones, a fabulous player. you got luke scott who is a fabulous player. i think you guydid quite well. >> jim p.: tejada goes to houston. >> rob: that's two. there's eight more guys involved in those trades. >> jim p.: exactly. chris tillman also part of the bedard deal. >> bob: line drive, the runner makes a mistake, then hernandez bobbles the ball and blows the double play. >> jim p.: i don't think he could believe aubrey was getting that far off the bases. there you go. where it is. >> rob: that's actually kind of funny. on the transfer he loses control. >> bob: the second base umpire staring right at him. >> jim p.: it almost looked like he wa

he said "i know against ryan nolan, i got to hit him early in the count because he is going to elevate the fastball." so the better he gets and he is more confident. he and zimmerman are changing eye levels, the more success they are gonna have. >> johnny: it isn't enough for the catcher to keep him on track and keep him away from -- >> rob: it is. but nieves is a young guy, our main catcher has been hurt for two months. it's difficult. you sometimes need an old kind of veteran catcher that is like "this is the way you of to do these things" but once you get it down then you take over. and you have to be your own pitching coach out on the mound, you have to be able to do -- decide times to go with your breaking ball. you're not hitting him. >> johnny: no, no way. fourth strikeout of the night for detwiler. >> rob: beautiful. tried to nine-iron it. >> johnny: one down here in the top of the fifth inning. going to bring up johnny cueto. . >> rob: right wildlife we had that day off we had a look at a consumate pitcher, levon hernandez, does not have any great pitch in his repertoire. >> j

. >> rob: go figure that brian tallet grew up in oklahoma and grew up loving nolan ryan.don't we all. >> bob: dukes will pop it up into short right field. alex rios is waiting. nats will get a couple of base runners, a walk and sangle, leave two, no -- a single, leave two, no score. ÷pñ)y@@p >> debbi: scoreless as we m to the top of the second inning. craig stammen told me last night that the young the starters are feeding off each other. they're good friends and a tight knit group. here is more from manny acta on that topic. >> they play together at some point. a couple of those guys are together before. they motivate each other and feed off each other and it's good. they don't have any type of competition going on, but they're trying to outdo each other, followup in each other's step every feist days. >> debbi: for jordan zimmermann, he told me he needs to continue to pound the zone. he has a really good strikeout to walk ratio. he has nearly four strikeouts to each walk. >> bob: that is correct, debbi. a strikeout in the first inning gave him 61. only 16 walks in

. >> bob: nolan reimold started this inning with a base hit up the middle. he bats for the second time. still only one out. nine hitters, one retired. wieters on a strikeout after he hit the ball over h 400 feet just foul. so nobody's been fooled in the baltimore sixth. the orioles came in six knot the american league at .270, 10th in runs. >> bob: out of play to the right side. the count will be even, 2-2. these clubs have been getting to the in interleague play, the bat to feel beltways, since the 2006 season. they did not play in 2005. washington's first year after coming from montreal. the nationals lead the all-time series 11-10 in this ballpark. washington, 5-4, but the o's about to equalize a lot of things here tonight. 2-2 to reimold. >> jim: there is that discipline at the plate. villone tries to hit the inside corner and just misses. too many young hitters -- >> rob: would have been swinging. >> jim: they would have been. 2-2, i really have to cover. of course, you also have to trust your umpires. >> bob: 3-2 pitch. now it's 10-1. pardon me. bases

nolan reimold and oscar salazar have already been used in this game.o, you're down to three bench players. wigginton is aware of the possibility. he's loosening up -- loosening up. >> jim: albers, ahead 0-2. a little bit low. bonifacio takes. bonifacio's run in the first inning right now is the difference in this game. he reached on an error on a throw by melvin mora. not only did he reach. both runners coghlan and bonifacio advance. so, there were two in scoring position. they both scored on the base hit. the single by hanley ramirez. >> buck: yeah, matt albers has to get bonifacio right here. 2-2 count, two outs. end the inning with him the third out. leave hanley ramirez standing on deck. >> jim: 2-2 chopped towards the middle. throws. safe is the call at first. bang-bang, roberts made a fine throw. bonifacio simply out ran it. >> buck: yeah, if bonifacio took that approach every at- bat, he'd hit .350. you just can't throw him out. brian did everything he could to unload in a hurry and it is bang-bang. actually, a little closer than i thought. he h

because adam jones leads off for baltimore, he'll be in center field, wigginton the second baseman, nolanhe cleanup spot who homered last night in left, the dh is luke scott for the birds, third base oscar salazar, matt wieters will catch and robert andino at shortstop. ty wigginton, nine of 18 his last five ballgames for the birds. let's see what they can do today against john lannan. lannan is about due to get back on the winning track? been pitching as good as anybody on this ball club. >> in his last seven games he has a 2.65 earned run average. over his last 14 starts, take away the first start, he's at 2.98. he can't pitch any better. he's only yielded more than three runs in one of his starts over his last 13, so he's our staff ace, he's the guy that goes out there and makes pitches day after day, it's a continuation of last year. i'd like to see us get him some runs. we're still only scoring three runs a game for him throughout his career. you could have that won/loss record reversed. he's going for his fifth win to even up his record. >> when josh willingham came to the ball clon

guy that had a 10 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio, a guy that has a fastball that nobody has seen since nolan ryan, as good as bert blyleven. he has an uncanny ability to throw strikes, big, strong, intelligent, a lot of people are saying, i've heard more this week, a lot of people are saying, everybody was saying he is not see second, today on the radio there were five of eight people that i heard said that they think he can pitch in the big leagues right now. he is just 20 years old, but i think if he is that good we need to get him signed. >> he had a tremendous couple years, he had a big strikeout performance, with 23, even against virginia in the ncaa tournament, 15 strikeouts despite the loss but doing that game. >> you saw that game. what was your thoughts on it. >> i liked the way he was mixing things up. he got the fastball to 98 miles per hour. but the fact he could control his other pitches, making virginia, making them guess for the remainder of that game, the two runs early on, the only two he allowed. >> he has a great breaking ball. sometimes when a guy throws 97- 98, you cheat

nolan reimold with the three run home run leading with 57%, 26% for gregg zaun, matt albers 17%. tom and rick will have the results coming up on "nats xtra" post-game. >> jim p.: i think i'd split the vote tonight. if you're earl weaver, you love reimold, but how about the double play by albers turned this game around, gregg zaun with three hits. >> rob: keeping guthrie from melting down. >> jim p.: especially in the first. got him out of the first inning with the double play to belliard. >> jim h.: the double play by albers also prevented the nationals from scoring which means guthrie is still the pitcher of record and the bullpen, they love to be able to hold the lead for the starter after he leads. >> jim p.: and the starter loves to have them hold them. >> jim h.: yes, he does. they're each nodding themselves yes in the different perspectives. >> rob: absolutely. it's your job. you want to save the game for him. >> jim p.: you don't like my rear end in come on, rob. >> rob: every time i go to the pub there in crystal city, i see you in a your underwear. >> jim p.: you've got

and that ball bangs off the mound and a base hit for nolan reimold and he is 2-3. >> jim: there you go low fastball, middle of the plate. he was talking today. he said the biggest problem he had in the maynor leagues was kind of balance. pitching, as you mentioned, you kind of push off the rubber. you have to load when you hit. he said he would be bobbing and we'ving, and now with terry cruelly, the hitting instructor for the orioles, he was our guy who was supposed to be hitting home runs in the minor league, i'm surprised at how good he is. better than advertised. >> bob: breaking ball and the count is now even. >> jim: if you're ross detwiler, you're looking at the nine guys in the orioles' lineup and the one guy to bounce into the double play is the one guy you better get out and he had to do it with the bases loaded. it looks like arizona highway magazine there. >> rob: a view of the sky and the warehouse. this is a beautiful stadium. >> jim: did you ever train in arizona? >> rob: once. >> jim: because i grew up in scottsdale and went to high school there. >> bob: i have had a lot

nolan reimold not starting tonight. matt wieters in the seven spot. 2-4 last night and a solo home run and an rbi single. robert andino at short and jason berken on the mound will bat for the first time as a beleaguer. >> buck: now, it's time for the pnc scouting report for the left-hander ricky nolasco. he has a -- right-hander ricky nolasco. he has a snappy hook. one if you're not aware of it. throws over the top a 12:00- 6:00 breaking ball. he's been more aggressive. he was optioned to the minor leagues may 23 and made two starts in trim and at got a little more aggressive. he was tentative. he was pitching around the plate not being aggressive enough. it really cost him. you could see his e.r.a. is 7.15 for the season rand the league has hit .315 against a guy that won 15 games last year. behind nolasco, this team committed one error last night. they have r57 on the season. coghlan, ross, hermida out there last night. same defense with bonifacio, ramirez, uggla and cantu third to first and john baker for the second
