sean burnett. >> rob: a horizon break was 7 inches. a vertical was minus 1.1. [ laughter ] the intriguing thing they measure the velocity when it leaves his hand then when it classes it is about a five miles per hour difference. does it slow down? >> rob: i hope not. you found out your the 5 -- 95s with only 90 too much information. we're wondering and how they come up with the data. there is a camera in the nashs dugout pointing at the pitcher's mound. >> rob: hoard won break. meanous 3. negative 13. nieves is next to that camera covered by unbreakable glass. >> rob: about out it left his hand at 75 and crossed at 67. >> bob: >> bob: you thought you threw so hard. 10:00 on a monday night. glad you're with us on masn 2. nats 4 in the 7th. 4 in the 8. trying to salvage game 4 of this series. 4-4 road trip. nats hold on to win they will be 8-11 under jim riggleman. >> bob: battles back. 2 outs, 2 strikeouts. bottom of the 9th. time to wrap it up. at pnc, it's doing what most benefits our customers. whether that's building more certified green buildings than any

it's interesting when we profile sean burnett, he went the other way. sean from starter to reliever and garrett mock leaving the pen to become at least for now a fairly solid major league starter.   . >> rob: well, and as it has been for a long part of baseball's history a lot of starters come up from high school, college and have to cut their teeth out of the bullpen, work themselves into the rotation.   . >> bob: high in the air, le center. 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

sean burnett.uns. chris coghlan has been good for the marlins and 7-14. four runs scored in the three games. he has been quite a find for florida this year. and played collegiately. and add ole miss. and taking the compensation in the draft three years ago. and showing bunt. it is in the air. burnett has it. sean burnett. he basically threw the ball down the right field line and ronnie belliard saved it. >> rob: all right. great play by sean burnett and almost makes one of the biggest errors of the game. right there. don't even think about it. try to make an evident on bonifacio. and he would have been standing on third. maybe home if he didn't catch it. >> bob: it is a big out and another left-handed batter against burnett. >> rob: here comes steve mccatty. and he is up again. >> rob: looked very good. when they were behind. it looked like jim riggleman was going to give him some work but now he is going with the guys he knows more about, sosa, macdougal and saul, and the only save veilable pitche

he is the next one in line. >> mark zucerman joining us talking about sean burnett.g of that it is now time as we look at the work he has done for and in the 3rd that one earned run. look that the e.r.a. >> he is and a screw ball kind of change up with late movement. he is a guy. >> and it looks good, too. >> don't scoff at him here. there has not been scruff said. i knew jim i knew him forever. he has a better grasp and respect throughout the organization. than jim possibly had. and he upset a few people and risso is all about business he knows the game. he is a tremendous evaluator and a you can send them out and you see someone you like you need to know he is projecting as a front-line player. one who is an all start player and he is amassing those here. >> stay in the and looking at the and and you can play in the game. looking at the starters what they need to do to win and what garrett can do as we he continue. >>> here is a look at mr. mock, preparing for the pirates in the wrap around game. starters the last five have not been as good as they hoped, strugglin

. >> bob: they obviously have a left-handed void in their bullpen since the departure of sean burnettsome of the people i talked to here in pittsburgh, they understand the morgan move because mccutchen was on the way and he's pretty good. >> rob: think ear both arbitration eligible. >> bob: well, at some point you have to spend some money to keep a ball club together and ask your fans to pay major league prices to watch that ball club. >> rob: obviously they knew sean burnett was guaranteed arbitration and nyjer morgan is a super two possibility of arbitration. >> bob: evidently veal is okay by a visit from the assistant trainer. and the manager john russell and the top of the order now, nyjer morgan. 3-4 and 120 hits on the year now. whispers of discontent in the stadium. not conversation just yet, with a seven-run lead. that is not going to make them feel very good. 3-0. a walk is as good as hit for the nats who need base runners, ts of them.  wow. >> rob: make you think about it for a little bit. you start thinking about throwing a strike. that's going to do it for him. >> bob: e

sean burnett on in relief. and the first pitch he throws is crunched. solo home run by gonzalez. rockies take the lead, 3-2. burnett not happy. rockies go on to beat the nationals, 4-3. they get a chance at redemption tonight. >>> nascar getting down to the nitty-gritty, folks. just three races left before they decide the drivers that will be in the chase for the sprint cup. nascar drivers never too busy, though, to visit the white house. that's exactly what they did today. jimmy johnson ran out of gas on sunday. but the 48 had enough fuel to make to it the white house today. president obama honoring johnson who is a sprint cup champ along with otherdrivers. richard petty had a front row seat on the south lawn. the president joked he wanted to take out the 48 car for a spin but the secret service said no. it was the first time this many nascar drivers have visited the white house. carl ed garces was one of them but got something important for his visit. >> i didn't have shoes or a tie this morning. so i scrambled for some things. my mom actually brought some of my stepdads ties f

guys like sean burnett and jason bergmann doing a good job, too. >> our bullpen has gotten better.himself into a spot in the bullpen and he feels comfortable, troughing the heck out of the baseball. clippard just continues to amaze me and kensing is a guy that befuddles you. he is threing the wall really well, but he is just not throwing enough strikes, and he gets behind the hitters and they tee off on him. >> it is time for the stay in the game hold of the day. it is brought to you by just for men hair color. looking a the hold force the washington nationals and jason bergmann is at the top of that list with four since july 1. joe beimel now with the rockies, sean burnett, jorge sosa there getting one and ron villone, a single hold for the nationals and they look for many more of those. and you, too, can stay in the game with just for men hair color. it is the nats and the marlins coming up from nationals park. stay tuned!   >> welcome back to "nats xt byron kerr and ray knight. the fans are filing back home. they're back hope, baby! getting ready for ga

. >> rob: we hope sean burnett is okay. a good shot to the pitching hand.bob: but the atmosphere and the dugout -- it's so much different when a starter at least gets you into the 7th inning. and a high flyball at short. escobar. josh bard, 1 for 4 today. mike morse is next. he is 1 for 3 with a double and we will see willie harris for the first time. at least the first time since willie homered in the 8th inning last night. top of the 9th now at citi field. 9-6 phillies over the mets. and the brave have come back late in ball game, 8th inning, tie the marlins 5-5. did you think a few people saw the matchup of perez and martinez and said, that will be a high- scoring game? >> rob: i thought it would be a duel. >> bob: you did not. >> rob: for about their warmups. >> bob: yeah. >> rob: perez -- it's just -- the mets missed boat. you let lowe go away. he went to the brave in your own division and you sign that guy for $36 million. you're hooked up with him for two more years. >> bob: that's unbelievable. only ten wins last year and over 100 walks. there's mor
