paulino has an infield hit. play a-- ray appears to be fine. he waves the training staff off suggesting he glot a lot -- he got a lot of glove on that ball. >> jim: here is cody ross. he's become a fan favorite here. fans are chanting for him as he comes up. 28 years old. he throws a slider for a strike. you never know the circumstances -- circumstances of why a team moves a certain player unless you know an organization like we know the players. you don't know the players. when you see a player like cody ross who adds so much to a team which is a complimentary player and not to mention that home run bout, why a team like cincinnati a team for years had trouble getting back in contention would let him go. they picked him up from the dodgers, cincinnati did, then turned right around and shipped him here no florida. he played only two games for the reds. >> buck: you see what he's doing here in florida finally getting an opportunity to play every dame. he was -- day. he was originally signed by the tigers. tigers had him for a while. he made it t

ronny paulino thinks he's hit it out of the ballpark. look at adam jones. he knows he has plenty of room. takes just a stride on to the warning track and paulino hit it good. look at adam jones. you've got to believe he loves playing in this spacious outfield with plenty of room to roam. >> jim: we see it every game. it still amazes me concentrating running back on a fly ball he can still blow a bubble. >> buck: he's an athlete. >> jim: unbelievable. >> buck: it's not that difficult. >> jim: i think it is. i don't know that i could do that. >> buck: i'm sure you could if you had a little practice. >> jim: adam joined us last night on wired wednesday and he told us sitting out of the game he was bored. he likes to get in there and play. curve ball for a strike to cody ross. >> buck: cody ross has been wearing out the orioles on this trip. last night he had three big hits including two doubles and should have had an extra rbi. he ended up with two. ground-ruled double cost him one. >> jim: fastball rode in on him. now it's 0-2. all right. let's analyze this,

here is ronny paulino, the catcher. takes a strike. paulino did not agree with the call, but he's making a friendly gesture in his conversation with john hirschbeck. 0-1 the count on the right- handed batting catcher. hill misses outside. amazing thing about this game, marlins have a 6-0 lead. we're only in the fifth. they've been retired three up, three down twice in this game. really maximized their scoring chances by grouping the base hits. of course, a pair of two home runs doesn't hurt. 1-2 on paulino. cantu at third. he drove in a run this inning with an rbi double after hanley ramirez doubled. hill got ahead of ramirez and couldn't put him away. fastball is a little high. paulino is 28 years old. very good numbers in these situations with a runner in scoring position. before the game today, buck and i got out to the ballpark early and came up to the booth and i noticed that the marlins were on the field with the regular catcher john baker. now, baker was not going to start tonight. he's a left-handed batter. rich hill starting.

ronny paulino at about 21% throwing out opposing base runners, 9 for 44.but the element of surprise is gone, so i'd be surprised to see josh do something here. >> rob: that might even have been a false break. sometimes you'll start running, just to try to get the catcher to step up or maybe take a strike away interest the pitcher and think about throwing somebody out. doesn't necessarily mean you're going to go to second base. pretty good career. >> bob: josh is like, what are you doing saying my name and his in the same sentence. he's going. and nolasco gets the one hopper right up the middle. was it a good reaction? a lot of luck or a little bit of both? we've gotta pay for. and a few things we want to pay for. on top of it all, we're still trying to put away some money for the future. with the wish list, we can save up for anything we want. and still have enough to cover the day-t0-day. plus, the savings engine helps our money grow. and that's something we need and want. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high definition, online view of your mon

here is ronny paulino, 0 for 2. robbed by guzman last time, and he almost took the cap right off of the pitcher on that one. the marlins first base hit since hanley ramirez rbi single back in the third. >> rob: you know how -- don't get cocky. watch your onion. >> bob: somebody else would say chuck and duck. >> rob: exactly. so you're going along great. weak ground ball, one hopper to your third baseman a. punch out. ronny paulino, a very good fastball hitter lines one right back up the box. >> bob: not that you want to see this happen, but if carroll gets aboard, that should probably take nolasco out of the game. he's due to bat neck. >> rob: no, you want to finish it off here. finish it off, get this guy, and it will be a wonderful night in return for scott olsen. >> bob: nolasco is in the on deck circle. >> rob: i doubt seriously nolasco will walk anywhere near the plate. he may be laboring a little bit now. it looks like he's rushing to try to get it up there to home. >> bob: the marlins, by the way, he's going

ronny paulino could put this game out of reach. hot shot, zimmerman knocks it down. and how they got the runner at second i don't know on a really bad throw by zimmerman. when this shoe store added aflac to its employee benefits package no direct cost the company... it was a perfect fit. find out more at aflac!... ...forbusiness.com  >> bob: let's have a look at our coors light freeze cam, brought to you by coors light, the world's most refreshing beer. listen to somebody holler got 'em when ryan zimmerman hits the ball. he centered that one, and the coors light freeze cam centered that one. that went into the second deck. and now it's a souvenir. run around, they'll get it. got a little jack from dunn. that was funny. >> bob: diaz is a stays in to replace coghlan in the left field. with the rain falling, top of the ninth. dan meyer, a rather inexperienced closer. especially has one major league save. it's for the marlins this year. >> bob: it's possible he could get the first two hitters, then nunez could come in to face zimmerman because he's warming up

uggla, ross and paulino for the marlins against scott olsen. him, low batting average, good power numbers. he is often and all or nothing hitter in his major league career. signed by mike rizzo originally for $1,000 with the diamondbacks out of the university of memphis. memphis state at that time. and that's a good fastball outer half. >> rob: so far so good for scott olsen. he looks free and easy. is he just comfortable in letting the ball go, and he is. >> bob: challenge him with a fastball right in there. >> rob: sometimes you come back and you keep looking for that phantom pain and you're kind of always checking out your arm. put it behind him mentally, he'll be fine. >> bob: the marlins swept baltimore here, then they went to tampa bay and didn't hit. their five through eight hitters were a combined 4 for 32 in that three-game series. so fredi gonzalez got no production from the bottom of his batting order. uggla has hit four homers his last nine games. then he fouls it straight back. but this is a ball club that won in every way you coul

he is on the disabled list now. >> jim: so that leave as righty, paulino, and the lefty de aza.wo pinch hitters and a defensive replacement, and all dave trembley has left on his bench are pitchers. it is not likely to get up there at the plate. 1-2 on bonifacio. one out and none on in the bottom of the ninth. and a tapper. johnson has to hurry, and the toss and beyond aubrey huff. bonifacio didn't pick it up. he'll get back to first. because of the speed of bonifacio, that was a tough play right off of the bat, and johnson in his haste couldn't get it to huff cleanly. >> buck: when jim johnson broke for the ball, he lost his footing. he kind of spun out on the mound. watch his foot. right here. you can see him lose a little bit of traction as he broke over there and then he has to hurry, the shovel toss. aubrey huff can't dig it out. bonifacio runs well. the ball gons down the right- field line. take a look at the speed of bonifacio. johnson is aware of that, but the throw was in the dirt and fortunately bonifacio never picked up on where the ball was. but now you have to keep
