uehara gets the strikeout. >> jim: we talked about mr. splitter. he's got about as good a split fingered fastball. what did keith hernandez say, he said this is one of the toughest pitches to hit. that ball just dives down and away. martinez, only 20. you've got to take advantage of him. one of those guys you pencil in. >> gary: two of the game's best hitters back-to-back in the line-up with beltran in right, two down here. beltran standing in with that big cut. he took it 0 for 5 in the ballgame last night. right now he's fourth in the national league at .336, fourth in on-base percentage, fourth in doubles. 1-1 delivery. the bobblehead man is back, he'll get a play in the first. he's got it. jones makes the catch. ♪ ♪ (tucci) count on the nation's fastest 3g network. at&t 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.

failtioning uehara in the fifth with the bases loaded, one down, bonifacio hit the ball back to uehara for a 1-2-3 double play. that ended the inning. and with his speed, that's pretty much the only way you're going to double him up unless it is a smash at one of the fielders. chris ray is about to start getting loose in the orioles' bullpen. chris is back with the team today. he was called up from triple-a norfolk. 1 ---the 1-0 is fouled off. >> buck: the marlins after being shut down effectively in the four innings have 10 ways runners now in the -- 10 base runners now in the last two and a third now with the force out at second base. >> jim: 1-1 on bonifacio. bouncer towards the middle. andino steps ton the base, throws to first and not in time and safe at second base. the second base umpire said that andino's foot never came down on the base. so no outs recorded arun in and florida has the lead. >> buck: the second base umpire standing right on top of the play and andino did stretch trying to make contact. the ball took him past the bag and behind it. and now trembley is coming out

uehara's pitch taken inside for a ball. a situation where church just came up and there wasn't a soul in the ballpark, except maybe he and manuel thinking he would drop a bunt down to start the inning. sheffield pops it up. third base, mora. there's one. not quite sure what that was. >> jim: i think that's to keep ryan church off base. and church is forced to second. infield fly rule, has to be first and second. right there you can see melvin, it's a smart play. church much younger than sheffield at 40. >> gary: you think melvin processed the age factor in that. >> jim: i think the speed factor which goes with age. melvin should know. >> gary: look at him. >> jim: he's telling him, yeah. melvin started with houston, then orioles acquired him from the mets. a lot of -- not that a lot of guys were playing when he left and came over to baltimore. he knows. both hail from venezuela. >> gary: did you lose it in the sun? sheffield, the runner at first base. murphy up, rbi single his first time to the plate. 3-1 lead, five hits, f

koji uehara with the 1-0 lead.n the bottom of the fist and here is zoge cantu, the number highflba d. old$oerllin e corner and now on the warning track. @he has it for out. and that one hit too high by jorge cantu. let's get a look at koji uehara. batting lineups the second ang  third time through the order. >> buck: the úfirst time throug the order, u can see the hitters don't know him too well. the second time they feel a little better and they have a better batting average, a third is trig o u out of  effect once he goes through the lineup three times. >> jim: and this is going to be a continuing debate until koji can get beyond that five-inning mark whether or not he is better served as a starter or maybe working out of the bullpen a couple of time as week. with those numbers, that would suggest he can give you three good energy innings. >> buck: what has happened, too, is he was brought here for a purpose and that was to be a start early in the season and just create versatility in the

. >> jim: koji uehara is down on strikes that is two away. tally, the american league east versus the national league east in the games this year and the a.l. east, 89 wins. and overall interleague, not just the east. 89-80. >> buck: the american league has outhomered the national league. they have interestingly enough, the d.h.s for the american league teams have garyed better than the american league d.h.s. so two down. brian roberts. the national league teams when they goo on the road to the american league cities, it mean as bench player gets four at- bats and they thrive on that, happy to be in the lineup. brian deep to left. that ball is hooking back and will be fouled. he got a lot of it but it will be a souvenir to one of the fan whose can get to it. >> buck: brian is swinging the bat with an awful lot of confidence right now. he had a home run in saturday night's game that was the game winner. he gets out in front of this fastball a little too quickly and hooks it foul. >> jim: the line drive to left and coghlan and he has it for the

that much better. >> so pretty good line for koji uehara. he left with the lead. the bullpen allowed the mets to tie it and koji uehara pitches to a no decision, but he certainly did his first job. manager dave trembley meeting with the media. >> koji really battling to keep the score what it was. i think that's all very apparent to everybody that saw the game, but i like the fight that we showed tonight and a real determination. we made a lot of nice plays. hendrickson got the double play. there was an awful lot of contributions to us winning the game tonight. like i said before, you know, it was a big game for us, especially coming back from last night. evening up the home stand now and getting a chance to go into the plus column with the game tomorrow. this is a good one to enjoy for everybody. you got to feel real good about some guys who stepped up tonight and really i think turned the corner. not only for themselves, but for the ball club. >> wieters one of those guys that turned the corner tonight? >> oh, i don't know. i think he's --

. >> koji uehara, an outstanding night. six very solid innings. he has only given up one run.t is still anyone's game. hang in there. >> ready for the bottom of the ninth. jim johnson is on the mound for the orioles. let's go back to florida. >> [ singing the bee ghees "staying alive" ] >> jim: thank you very much. we go to the bottom of the ninth and, buck, here is jim johnson who tries to get this game to extra innings after the birds get three to tie it in the top of the ninth. >> buck: one thing we have talked about this team is the bullpen and how effective they have been. danys baez had a rough night as he was charged with five earned runs. luke scott takes over defensively in left field, just checking out how much room he has. and gregg zaun, the last position player to leave the bench. he comes in behind the plate. ty wigginton who got a big pinch hit takes over at shortstop. two pinch hits in the inning and the orioles have tied it. >> jim: so here is johnson basing chris coghlan, the lead- off batter. so every player on the orioles' bench has been used in this game a

give him credit for changing speeds well, uehara. in ballgames, this is the one on the outside corner. look at how quick his bat is, he gets the ball down in corner for a double in that third at- bat. later on bases are loaded. he comes up and gets the same pitch again. he hits that ball nine miles left center field, a long way abig shot, grand slam. the guy is is a real talented hitter. >> no doubt about that hanley ramirez now with 10 home runs for the season, his second career grand slam. we're going to take a look at some of the oriole run leaders now. brian roberts has scored 52 to top the team, jones with 47 followed by particular cake is with 44, luke scott at 31 and huff at 28. those are the top five oriole run leaders for the season. when we come back, we'll take an inside look at chris tillman who is pitching at norfolk. he may be headed to baltimore sometime later there season. -- this season. >> chris tillman pitched six innings abdid not walk a batter and struck out three tonight for the norfolk tide. the tide, of course

. >> jim: koji uehara doesn't throw as hard. that's 96 diving. jim johnson lengthened his stride last year. the ball will start at the middle of the plate. >> gary: fouled off. wright is having to make an adjustment seeing a lot of pitches that are in and up on him that he can't get up to. talk to keith hernandez about it, that's what the book is becoming on wright, at least for the moment. see where johnson goes. back inside but missed with it. and a two-ball, two-strike count. >> jim: at 98. jim johnson, most tall pitchers, he's about 6'5", they shorten their stride. last year he lengthened it. but it's difficult to pitch in. the one thing about koji uehara, we know about the splitter in our scouting report, but he commanded his fastball very well tonight. jimmy johnson relying more on the sink. >> gary: he went around on it. an unhappy david wright heads off. good job by jim johnson. wright retired and there are two down in the inning. the orioles have announced a series of baseball camps designed for boys and girls 7 to 16. the instructional

koji uehara with a two run, seven hits over five. away and he wouldn't go after it. >> jim: jerry manuel very patient. his bullpen is still not up tonight. they are an awfully good bullpen. 3.18 e.r.a., the first in the national league. >> gary: castillo, the reaction on the mound by bass. >> jim: it just ran outside. when you drop your arm, the ball runs more laterally. you can see him just getting under it a little bit. just one of those nights where he hasn't been able to find his release point. >> gary: matt wieters got up and gave the infield sign. you have runners at second and third, only one away. will jerry manuel put them in motion here? possibly not because castillo is not somebody you're going to likely double up even on a ground ball. >> jim: of course he makes a lot of contact. >> gary: fouled away. it looks like we're going to play the rest of this ballgame in intermittent showers. >> jim: i heard all kinds of things, 60% chance for rain after 9:00. of course if you're the umpire, you just don't want the field to becom

koji uehara officially now on the disabled list and david back. this is his fourth appearance. gets ahead of ryan zimmerman, 0- 1. he was looking fastball and he swung through it. >> jim p.: that's that well located fastball. it was out of the middle of the plate with a little bit of giddyup on it. >> jim h.: david hernandez has always been a strikeout pitcher coming up through the minor leagues. popped foul, wide of first. huff hoping for a play but it stays in the stands. that's a strike for 0-2. he had 614 strikeouts in 530 innings in the minor league. >> rob: very impressive. >> jim p.: i struck out 14 back on the 22nd of may. on the year, 3-2 with a very low earned run average. not a lot of run support down at triple-a norfolk. >> rob: the one thing i do like, 18 walks. not just a power pitcher. >> jim p.: i watch his windup. he's one of these guys that fans on the first base side. pretty good balance. >> jim h.: high fly ball, right center field, chasing jones back but he has a play. adam has it for the out. let's welcome in amber. >> the orioles minor league catching coo

we noted that koji uehara might not make a start on sunday.d hernandez has been pulled after the first inning and thrown four pitches with no apparent injury in triple-a norfolk. maybe put the twtogeer. maybe th're i thghi'd bring it >> jim: amber starting intrigue. here is a hit the other way by @jeremy hmia. %%<-t-nicet8p he went with it. hermida has a one-out double. that's his first hit othe home stand. he's 1-3 tonight.>> buck: stayi he dr down the left- field line. watch how he stays extend out over the plate. pretty good pitch. you can see the location down and away. he's able to keep it fair inside the bag at third. then slices down into the cornerment one out for hermida. his eighth of the season. >> jim: now, a runner in scoring position for florida. one down for dan uggla. >> jim: that's a strike. >> buck: mark hendrickson last pitched saturday night. he had two big outs. he came in in the eighth inning against the phillies and got matt stairs to line out to third and then got jayson werth on a 4-6 fielder's choice to end the ei

here -- here is his home run last night against koji uehara. >> buck: koji uehara up 1-0, 0- 2 breaking pitch doesn't get away. stays out the outer half of the plate. he hammered it to the seats in left field. his 14th. >> jim: berken 2-26789 he went too far. that's strike three. uggla is down and berken gets out it have without further damage. walk, an error and two-run single left to the second 2-0. e content to sit around and wait. wait for something to happen. for business to pick up. but for you, it's time to kick it in gear. time to get going. time to get tough. take control. you're not gonna run and hide. because backing down's not your style. grab your bag. it's on. ( ding ) grab your bag. it's on. 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. try chili's new fire-grilled quesadillas, starting at $6.99. flame-grilled tortillas layered with chicken,

we'll have an update on koji uehara. we've known for a couple days now that he said his arm was feeling fatigued, but now it's being described as soreness. so, tomorrow, when the team returns home to baltimore, he will be examined by the team doctor, dr. wilkins. based on that examination, orioles will determine whether or not he is able to make his scheduled start on sunday against the nationals. now, it is no secret that this injury is just the latest in a long list of what many might call durability issues with uehara. it's not secret that koji is very effective through four or five innings of his start and then seems to hit a wall. naturally, a lot of reporters were asking the qens questions once again whether or not the orioles are considering putting him in the bullpen. dave trembley had some answers. >> i haven't talked to anybody about it, but i've thought about it. i think right now our first -- our first thing that we need to get through is we need to get him checked out tomorrow with dr. wilkins and see where

as uehara again will be nondecision. bass a third of an inning.mark hendrickson came on and had a walk in 2/3 of an inning. now jim johnson. gary sheffield is home run came in the sixth, 8th of the year. does have a couple of runs scored in the ballgame. down low to him. not what johnson wanted to do. >> jim: he started him off with a curveball. maybe 20% all year long. sometimes it's a mystery. but if you're throwing 98 and you're commanding your fastball, it's already to throw the breaking ball. do it when you're ahead. >> gary: that ball on the outside corner. >> jim: when i pitched for earl weaver with a two-run lead, he would make it very clear. >> gary: perhaps you'd like to use the language. 3-2 delivery. he rifles that one no the seats. >> jim: at the end of the day, jimmy johnson, his sinker is his best pitch. if you're going to have to trick gary sheffield with a two- run lead, you're going to have some problems. i don't mean throw it down the middle. let it sink, get a ground ball, anticipating sheffield is going to pull the ball. >> ga

. >> dave trembley confirmed today, that koji uehara will not make his scheduled tomorrow tomorrow againstthe nationals, it is likely he'll be put on the 15-day disable list. we will -- who will get the t? l's takok ou evdúlúeúdadú hernandefotheorioles. we did see david walking around the park today, so it's not too hard to put two and two together. once the move becomes official, the orioles will confirm that. he goes up against john lannan for the nationals. >> bob: thank you, amber. will that be a bber game the series ill the orioles be going for the sweep? >> jim p.: i like john lannan. i still remember the 2-1 victory he had over the orioles i don't know if it was last year or the year before. how about that earned run average. >> rob: he's definitely become our ace. another hit by gregg zaun. great night for him. already a home run. >> jim p.: i told him, i, he was hitting .118 early on. he said jokingly, i was overexposed. i told him, i said the good news, you can't stay at .118, not if you keep playing. >> rob: to finish that story about eric davis at the end of his career, he knew

when uehara you're on the field, you have to be all business. >> bob: here is hermida who was at the plate when hanley ramirez thought he would further embarrass the nationals by trying to steal third with a left-handed batter up there. >> rob: that's a good word, bob, "embarrassed." if guys are going to do that out there, you have to take care of business because they're in your division. you don't want ramirez or bonifacio or anybody else thinking we can just steal on those catchers and disrespect the nationals. play for the name on the front. not the one on the back. >> bob: of course, to be honest about it, nats haven't done a whole lot to stop them from doing so. you know, best way to stop them is go in their own ballpark and beat them now and then. hasn't happened near a long time. that second inning starts the same way the first inning did a- ground ball to gonzalez. wired wednesday tomorrow starring scott olsen. look at those two old guys sitting there, olsen and lannan. they've been around forever. ross detwiler trying to soak up some of their sage advice. here is dan uggla.

tomorrow, it will be koji uehara, 2-4 against tim redding who is 0-2 for the mets. jason berken thursday night 1-3 against luis hernandez who is 5--- livan hernandez who is 5- 1. the three-game set and then the o's off to philadelphia for friday, saturday and sunday. big cut and i don't think he hit it. he's going to go to first. it will be a strikeout on church, but he'll reach first base. it is a pass ball that will allow him to get there. so, the leadoff man on again. >> jim: take a look. great angle right here. ball just gets under matt wieters' glove. right there, ryan church is going to look back. a little breaking ball. matt doesn't catch it. it goes through his legs. he's looking for it. by that time, ryan church down to first base. >> gary: third consecutive inning and three in the game that the leadoff man has been on for the mets. guthrie not getting a lost breaks here in this one and a 1- 0 count on gary sheffield. sheffield has singled and struck out the designated hitter for the mets hitting at .273, sevenhome runs, 23 rbi's. he's really had a very sol

. >> bob: 12 starts for uehara. 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

kojikoji uehara might be returning to the rotation. >> gary: the early goings are tough for jeremy.ets past the early part of the game, he settles down but you can't give that many runs and hope that your team will come up and pick up the slack. runner at first base, nobody out. giambi is hitting the baseball. he has had homers in back-to- back games, american league f vp for the a he is, five-time all-star, three-time on base leader, bark with the ball club. down to first. that will be a foul ball. >> buck: went to new york as a free agent, signed a 7-year deal with the yankees with designs on playing in the world series. that never happened. he never really got it together there. they brought in sheffield, giambi, a lot of free agents but it never came together for them. >> gary: giambi will take that for a strike. the homer off guthrie is the 14th he has surrendered. started the game second high in homers given up and cust jumped on it, really launched one. oh, that hit guthrie. it goes to second base. and i have no idea what that hit, except it hit him. >> buck: it sure did. it

sunday, koji uehara is scheduled to pitch, but it appears that start could be in jeopardy after yesterday'se koji told manager dave trembley that he's feeling fatigued in his elbow. today, dave told the media it's up to koji whether or not he's able to pitch on sunday. he will throw a bullpen session on friday. that's when a decision could be made. with all of these issues, the hamstringish, you're the duratiue, the question was d whether or not t putting him in the bullpen. dave said sfarls i know right now, we are not discussing putting him in the bullpen. he is a starter for us. we're going to try to keep him there in thele all-star break and we'll re-evaluate. jim? >> jim: amber, thank you very much. this is one of the things about this organization now, buck, that is such a better problem, if you will. we know there are more prospects on the way. david hernandez has been here and he's gone back. if koji's role is better suiteeventualfully for a long relief job because we have seen it. we talked abounumbers last night. the first time through the lineup, he is just outstanding. the boant

as soon as anybody tawms talks about uehara on a possible disabled list and david hernandez probably one of the guys considered. the fact he was taken out of the ballgame is absolutely he could be considered. there's been nothing said about that up to this point right here. i wouldn't mind having him back here at this point right here. i liked him when he was here the first time. >> there's always room for speculationment always room to talk rumors, right? that's part of baseball. >> time to take a loot being a -- look at our minor league scoreboard from tonight. we begin with the norfolk tides against pawtucket. snider went 3-4 a-coupleever -- couple of rbi's, two doubles in the victory over pawtucket. bowie lost to binghamton with a loss of 5-had -- 5-4. elsewhere, aberdeen a final in 10 beating staten island 4-3. i guess it's elizabethton. i'm not sure on that. they beat bluefield 4-16789 i'll say bluefield loss 4-1. one other series in the gulf coast league, the other game that we have would be the twins 5-0 over the orioles a final in the gulf coast league. here is david ortiz c

let's begin with koji uehara. >> he had problems. he holds them down early and lets them up late.ime through the lineup they only hit .212, the second time through, .276, the third time through, .339. we have to find some way to turn that around because he is too good a pitcher to keep doing this. he need as decision and we want to win at the same time. he has not won a game since april 13th, his first two starts of the season. since then he has gone nine starts without a win. pretty good numbers. 43 strikeouts and only seven walks, but still we haven't scored enough runs at the right time. >> the scouting report now on the pitcher andrew miller who is the left-hander for the marlins. >> miller he is at landslashing stadium, he is a great white. that's where the marlins play their games at. he is 2-0 at home with a 3.50 e.r.a. those are pretty good numbers, so he feels pretty come fee down in florida right now. home runs and walks, it doesn't make sense to me. for some reason he only gives up .35 home runs per nine innings-a start, but he gives up almost five walks per game. how d
