fast, fast hook. >> bob: scott olson calling it correctly. he saw what was happening when josh-on struggled with control -- josh johnson struggled. josh johnson pulled after 89 pitches, having registerred only 10 outs. that ball hit to left by john baker. off the scoreboard. adam dunn play it is okay on the carom and a leadoff double for the marlins. >> rob: you want to attack the number 8 hole guy. baker takes it the other way. banks off the scoreboard. badenhop. i don't know why he even had to talk to the third base coach. it's pretty obvious he will try to lay down the sac bunt. >> bob: zimmerman and johnson at the corners. the ball is bunted over the screen. a lot of things at work here. anderson hernandez getting in behind the runner to make sure john baker stays near second. but that gives him a long, long run to the first base bag. here he is right now and he will get even closer to the bag as the pitch is made and then he is off to the races. there he goes. the ball bunted and that's right off of wil nieves. will the catcher stand up?
