nyjer morgan almost makes this play. there is just not a lot of room there. singles the shallow center field as he hit the ball off the end of the bat. just like i said, morgan is trying to make a great play. he makes a little ill-advised throw as the ball gets into the runner and goes back to the fence for an error. and this kid is just jumping all over that high changeup. the second home run of the night as he went down the line his first at-bat for a solo home run and a two-run home run later and then a three-run home run. >> he couldn't get the grand slam for the home run cycle, if you will. what a night for mccutchen, ray. you see vasquez getting his first win after five straight losses. craig stammen, another difficult evening. we'll talk about him tonight. there are the numbers for zimmerman. he is continuing to hit the ball well, 3-4, and morgan anice start. you see mccutchen hit the home run early. i don't think the guy has the power, but he proved. he just started spraying it all over the floor. >> the first ball got in on him a little bit and he hi

that's if nyjer morgan ever stops talking we can actually get riggleman on the air. >> rob: once nyjerut that on, it became the nyjer morgan show. he's a good, young man right there. gifted. i was wondering as far as i heard about the -- as soon as i heard about the bly lefl eleven, vandenhurk thing, did he teach him that big curve ball? that has burt in the top 10 all- time in strikeouts once again thinking of a basketball team with that that pitching staff over there. this kid is 6'5". johnson was 6'7". >> bob: he still is. >> rob: yep. >> bob: ronnie belliard, 4-8 as a pinch-hitter with two walks in his 10 pinch-hitting appearances. so, a guy does well for you. he deserves a start here and there. ronnie gets one tonight. good eye. 2-2. >> rob: leroux is 6'6". pinto, 6'4". then johnson and miller are both 6'7" and then volstad and sean west are both 6'8". >> bob: ronnie belliard, left field line hooking. not missing a home run by very much. tim wood and brian sanches must feel like -- around these guys. >> rob: probably going, yeah, two 6'8" guys, two 6'7" guys. that's what is pirate

nyjer morgan can't get there and plays it hon a hop. john lannan, pretty hittable last night and stammen, not a great start here tonight. now, here is the defense we talked about with elijah dukes and his 10 assists in right field. josh willingham back to left where he's more comfortable, and with morgan in the middle, very, very good. al weathero gonzales struggling a bit in the field and big-time with the bat. the nats need to get him going, and here is ryan doumit, the catcher, hitting just .245. and he rolls a double play ball. gonzales, guzman, and a made-to- order 4-6-3. that will save some pitches. the lead-off homer by andrew mccutchen, his fourth of the year. 2-1 after one. ♪ ♪ more bars in more places. at&t. the best coverage worldwide. for back to school, get the pantech matrix for $29.99 after mail-in rebate.  >> bob: the lineup, nyjer morgan is in left. brandon moss is still herement and adam laroche, he has gone to boston and now atlanta and ryan doumit. here is the new look pirates. ronny cedeno, a veteran shortstop

nyjer morgan, no problem for the first out. it's been a hot one in towntoday. there have been a few respites of cloud cover throughout the day. warm and the ball should be carrying well. that's always interesting with a power hitting team like florida is in town. here is nick johnson. 4-10 as a marlin in three games. he also walks four times. he will single-handedly improve their on-base percentage. as a ball club, the marlins on- base percentage is just .330. the nationals is .346. nickel pull that ball. looks like -- nick will pull that ball. looks like it was way off- speed. two quick outs. >> rob: just drop the pnc scouting report on the people, bob. only two starts has he given up more than three runs in his last 10. one time in the last 10 has he gone less than six innings and 6-10 last starts the nationals have won a john lannan start. >> tom: it's all that matters. how -- >> bob: it's all that matters. how often you win when your guy starts the ballgame. hanley ramirez leading the league in hitting at .340. starting the night 10 points ahead of sandoval

great jump by nyjer morgan. we said, he slides right by the bag and his foot was off the bag again. so, if uggla stays on the tag, he might have been out. >> bob: guzman looking to move the runner now. the count is 1-1. >> rob: you see right here. he tagged him. as he keeps going, feet come off the bag. i agree with you. slide feet first. at least he can pop back up and maybe go to third on bad throw. keep going by the bag. >> bob: and guzman rocks one to left field! here comes morgan! he will go back as pat listach stopped him. coghlan did hit the cutoff man. you don't want to make the first out at home, but nobody out and the nats are brewing a big inning here and cristian guzman continues to be phenomenal with the bat. >> rob: he's a homer shy of the cycle now. it's a shot that one who has coghlan. this is the proper call right here by pat listach. he's got a good bead on nyjer. already has the ball at that point when he hits the bal bag. he would have been dead at home plate. pat listach did a great job of h

nyjer morgan knocks it down. there's a force play at third and he got him! y and aggressively, and on what should have been a base hit, he goes 8-5 on a fielder's choice. is that is impressive. >> rob: i think nick johnson saw enough of nyjer morgan when they were teammates to know this ball is going to be caught every time so he holds up at second and he is thrown out at third base. >> bob: that is the second time this year a nationals' outfielder has turned a single into a force play. austin kearns did it in arizona at home plate. that's a big out. the bases would have been loaded an nobody outened here is dan uggla, two on, one out. uggla continues to be an all-or- nothing major league hitter at times. he leads the marlins with home runs, 19, but he struck out 94 times and he is hitting .227. >> rob: that is just a very head's up play by nyjer morgan. >> bob: and quite frankly alot of center fielders would have been afraid to charge a ball that aggressively that hops right in front of them. that will be over the dug-out. out of play. he took that, rob, on

it is almost a great play by nyjer morgan. he just gives it everything he has every night a blooper to center field. ill-advised throw hear as he tries to throw the runner out at home and the ball goes -- bard goes back for an error. they would advance runners to second and third and that was the end of the night for mr. craig stammen. he only had 44 pitches, 3 were strikes, 14 balls. the biggest difference, up in the strike zone. >> you look at that milwaukee start before this, ray, where he also had a rough night, the nine hits the and the five earned runs coming in. and then he had four quality starts before that. so you hope this is not a trend in the wrong direction for craig. >> i don't think it is. all of the pitchers run into those valleys also like hitters. we were talking about it in the pre-game, hills and valleys bed hot streaks and going 10 games without doing much as zimmerman did and guzman did and he is now hot. that happens to pitchers, too, over the course of the season. this kid has shown me over the course

nyjer morgan lays one down. and the sacrifice is perfect. e hits, a stolen base, an rbi, and now a sacrifice. >> rob: couldn't draw it up any better. lead-off guy gets a base hit, next guy comes up, contact guy, great bunt. chris iannetta will pop out of there quick as a catcher, quickly firing it down first base. calls off the pitcher right there. barmes covering. >> bob: rockies infield discussing what they're going to do with cristian guzman here. great speed at second in willy harris. that is franklin morales onof their two left-handers. guzman trying to give the that this lead here in the 7th inning. he is 0 for 3, 0 for his last 16. we did not see this coming, the way he was swinging the bat. >> rob: no. and you know when the he struggles, because more than anybody, he rarely goes $outsi his own zone, expands it, and swings at bad pitches. >> bob: been doing a lot of thatfor the st few days. maybe the day off refreshes him a bit. >> rob: cincinnati, went after a lot of bad balls. we don't see cristian do that often. >> bob: rick ecks

it gets nyjer morgan to the plate in the ninth inning, the former pirate. out ballgame boils down to a hitless tonight morgan 0-# tonight with a walk and a run scored. blinding speed in the batter's box and good veteran speedinbetween. a crowd of 23,363 standing most of them. a pitcher and a hitter who know each other very well. >> bob: that's low. >> rob: milledge is way in in left field. a chop shot into left field. >> bob: gonzalez will be running on any contact and here is a 1-0 pitch. morgan pops it up! he's going to go 0-4 tonight and the pirates win it 5-4.   the nationalities outhit pittsburgh 10-9, but they strand five runners in the last three innings.   . >> bob: emotional week for the pirates and they win it. in the dark. no peanuts or nothin'. and then if your bag wants to bring one of its little bag friends for company, they charge another $25. that's just plain mean. why do they hate your bags? at southwest airlines, bags fly free. grab your bag. it's on!

nationals lead 2-1 on an opposite field hit by nyjer morgan. and for nyjer morgan.game. >> rob: is he takes that 95 the other way, shoots the fan, and nieves will score easily. nyjer could steal second base and get into scoring position easily here with two outs. >> bob: a hit bat we are be a double by the pitcher, a bass hit for an rbi by the lead-off man, and now christian guzman with the runners at the corners, and morgan could be running again. they throw down to second base, this could get very interesting. with that in mind, the look to third and look to first look by jimenez. >> bob: this could be a good time to break out of an 0-14. >> 1-1 the count. and guzman goes fishing up stairs. and a breaking ball that guzman lays off. the count is pack even. >> rob: that's something we talked about in the scouting report on jimenez is the mechanics get a little bit off. he's worried so much about nyjer, and the pitch count is now up to 45 in two innings. and once again, these great at bats by the national as hitters, putting pressure on the pitcher. >> bob: and an ea

they had morgan leaning a bit. nyjeras been caught 17 times this year, but he is second in the league with 40 steals. michael bourn of the phillies 46.   . >> bob: that was a head-long dive. >> rob: most base stealers like to get off so they have to dive back. that means they are getting a decent lead. >> bob: morgan likes to run when guzman is batting left- handed. it's one more thing close the right arm of the catcher. torrealba, by the way, this year, 3 for 25 against opposing base runners.   he is holding. guzman takes a high strike. ryan zimmerman on base once tonight.   that's a swing and a foul a the count 0-2.   jayson werth has homered ag tonight, 28 on the year for him, and the phillies lead arizona 6-3 in the fifth inning.   marlins got a fifth inning ru at houston, leading by one in the third. behind 12-2 josh johnson.   her

nyjer morgan is under it.   or is it tony flesh? one out. >> rob: somebody is going to glove that ball when it comes down, but the bottom line is it is a little bit different, the talent pool may be a little bit thin error more shallow than it used to be, they come up, they are going to be relievers or starters, only guys like jab a chamberlain and phil hughes who came up as a targetter now in the bullpen for the yankees. you have the kid felix down in texas. he is going to be a future starter. but right now they had some problems in their bullpen and he was brought up to kind of shore up the bullpen. so it's not easy to be a young pitcher today. >> zoo you're be torry alba, a catcher. if i remember back to our one of our promotional spots, it was one of johnny holiday's favorite name. we'll have to pull out the club and that also fee tours fukudome. he looked like he was right at home in the dallas room. torre alba, 6 for his last 15. >> a wong conversation with derek lowe of the braves today and he talked about pitching in boston

you saw nyjer morgan on his ball that went to escobar.e went halfway to second base where he almost threatened them to throw the ball to first base and tease them a little bit so it's all about making the defense make perfect plays. >> bob: adam dunn, second third, nobody out. he goes up ripping. and by the way, no matter what happens in thinning, morgan's run will be unearned because he was supposed to be out on the front end of a would-be double play. the nats are taking advantage here. zimmerman has his 83rd rbi. he got his batting average over .300. and adam dunn is looking for rbis number 89 and maybe 90 here. breaking ball. did he go? mike reilly said no. >> rob: the teams to put pressure on the defense like the los angeles angels have scored almost 700 runs so far this year right there. it looks like he held up and didn't break the plane but bob, only 138 home runs as a team they're hitting .290. over .350 on-base percentage. one of the best at running. >> bob: dunn breaks his bat. that ball is caught. guzman tags and comes down th
