matt wieters does it the way you should do it. all the hitters they hit the ball the opposite way.lk about it. what he was trying to say how much when you try to hit it the other way, how much you watch it go into the zone. when you feel that point of contact how easy it is, it is easy to hit it the opposite way. he waited to show power but flip it over the base and what is the pitcher's best pitch and his swing. this is what you see with matt wieters he has a swing although he may not call it when a ball is by him he will flip it. for me that's signs of a great hitter. >> one of the things we were talking about where have the great nicknames gone. we thought he would would get the fans involved swraoefplt a few from the past. jim palmer cakes, he had pancakes. randy johnson the big unit. and say hay kid willie mays and jim hunter, oakland and new york. catfish hunter. go to o's facebook and send us nicknames. but it is a lost art, if you will, you don't hear any great nicknames any more. did you have any? >> i had one lee may called me the dipper they thought it sunded like demper

brian, when you have a young hitter like wieters, why would that matter so much?i really don't know to tell you the truth. when i was young i hit mostly in the same spot, first or second. i don't think you'll see matt wet neither the six through nine hole very often throughout his career. he'll be in the one, two, three or five hole throughout most of his career. the power is coming from both sides of the plate. the one thing we love about matt is he has great hands at the plate. he is one of the guys that we talked about in the dug-out that just knows how to get hits. you saw it in the minor leagues. and the power is going to come. that is one of the things that we have talked about over time. that comes from the younger players and even now he is beginning to show some f that. >> and he has markakis ahead of him and tejada. i think he is going to get a couple of pitches to hit tonight. here is the minnesota lineup that brad bergesen will face. and has he become a player in that lead-off spot. his on-base percentage at new target field is .527. more know slides i

i'm going to go with wieters today. he's had a day off. he comes back pretty strong after a day, most catchers do. so i'm looking for the big flyout today out of the big minnesota ballpark. i'm calling three for him. >> i'm going with the one lefty batter in the inlupe and that is nick markakis. he's batting .440. here's another one of my famous reverse locks, he's got five games without an rbi so i think he's going to breakout today. let's get a look at the minnesota line-up that will go against jeremy guthrie. dinardo span. brendan harris and nuk punto round it out. one name noticeable bly nis missing that fr that line-up, joe mauer. >> he's not on the disabled list but he's day to day and think you know, this is a good thing for the orioles, an opportunity because joe mauer can hit anybody at any time at any place. it's amazing a catcher can hit as high as he does because it's so of wear and tear on you especially late in ball games. he right now i think is a better hitter than rod carew. this guy joe mauer, he's a catcher even better.
