hanrahan -- for joel hanrahan. absolutely perfect as a pinch- hitter and those five hits have resulted in four rbi's which is really impressive.  a 1-2 to adam dunn. he went off-speed again missing away 2-2.  that was a fastball he trying to paint. >> rob: from our vantage point, that's a foot outside. on tv, camera is off center in center field. from where we're standing, we've got a good view of it. it was a ball. >> bob: adam dunn to the left side out of play. >> rob: vernon wells was laying not only no doubles. i think he's playing no triples. he's way out in center field. >> bob: he's probably 370 feet away. runner goes. dunn squirts it foul. manny acta may be surprising the blue jays there, but thinking dunn would make contact and sending nick johnson.  two outs. in crucial situations tonight, the nationals have not been able to make contact with the ball. that's six strikeouts in th

the pitcher is joel hanrahan. high e.r.a., five saves, but four blown and a 32-1 strikeout to walk total. -- 32-12 strikeout to walk total. >> rob: last pitched on the 12th. a couple of hits, one strikeout, no runs through 0 pitches. before that, against cincinnati on the 10th an inning of work. nothing after that. so, really 31 pitches in the last week. >> bob: being hittable has been the big thing. .29 329 opponent's average. he's given up 40 hits in 20 innings. strikeout to walk numbers, not that bad. 32 over 12. here is barajas, corner infield even with their bags. middle infielders, double play depth. a badly-needed strike one. ground ball, zimmerman home for one. that's a great decision. safe, first base! and the nats cannot buy a close call and manny acta wants to talk about it with just james hoye. >> rob: i think we got the dude at first. we got barajas. i think that's a makeup call even though he got the call right earlier on cristian guzman this is a great play right here by ryan zimmerman. he noas know

joel hanrahan has a ton of upside. throws in the mid-90s, upper 90s. he's getting in trouble with off-speed stuff. they were sent over to pittsburgh. you know, we get nyjer morgan in return also sean burnett a- very good reliever. we got speed. can fly on the base pads. he's got i think 18 stolen bases so -- so far this year. more importantly on the defensive side t-makes our outfield a little better. in the bullpen, burnett has a lot of appearances and been very successful at the major league level. so, we gave up a couple guys that maybe don't fit into our future. here the future is now with nyjer morgan and sean burnett. >> bob: morgan 18 steals, number five in the national league, sean burnett, six saves, in the bullpen kind of an unusual situation. nats have three lefties. >> rob: it's ok. doesn't matter to me as long as they're going to do the job. usually, lefties get out righties better than righties anyways. the whole should we fwli a righty or lefty. if a guy can throw strikes and get people out, he'll a lot -- he'll have a lot of appearance.

nats acquire outfielder nyjer morgan and left-hander sean burnett from the mets in exchange for joel hanrahan and lastings milledge. we'll talk about it coming up on "nats xtra" pregame here on masn. >>> hi, everybody. time for "nats xtra" pregame. i'm johnny holliday along with the silver fox, former mvp of the 1986 world series ray knight. good to have you on a special night for nats baseball. number one, nats will go to florida and knock off the marlins in the doggone eight- game slide they had in miami and a couple of new guys are coming in to join this ball club and we talked about that, didn't we, ray? wouldn't it be nice to get this kid, morgan, playing in our ball club? eye want to relate to the fans about what you said to me. we were walking around the ballpark all year long. we have not commented loot about oppositional players. johnny says have you paid attention to nyjer wilson. he says he flies, he's quick to me. runs almost to the on-deck circle. a kid who has a tremendous amount of energy, johnny. it's ironic you mention that. wouldn't it be nice to have a player hike

joel hanrahan has to keep them right here. this is the most important inning of the game, 3-3 against the best offense in the american league. >> bob: i think joe west is giving the rays' dugout a hard time because of our lights. he knows everything going on out here. it's the bottom of the 7th. reid brignac, b. j. upton and carl crawford. brignac 0-for-1 with a dprowb a -- a ground ground ball and a walk. that ball right off the mask of josh bard. >> rob: we may have to explain to joe west how much money masn spends to televise these games. he needs to take a chill pill. we have the best crew in the game. top of the order now, b. j. up ton after the base hit by reid brignac. upton is a right hander. ron villone is ready for carl crawford. so this becomes a vitally important hitter for joel hanrahan. here is b. j. upton bunting -- is b. j. upton bunting as early as the 7th inning, knowing it will be lefty-lefty after this? >> i don't think so. 8th inning maybe. 9th inning maybe. >> rob: you already have the tie at home. you go

joe nelson against joel hanrahan. top of the order, guzman, 1-for- 2, base hit, walk, a run scored. christian will look at a strike. >> rob: we need to get the bats going again. three runs in the 1st and quiet again. >> bob: nelson around the strike zone, popped up hernandez to end the 6th. and guzman will hit one to center. it will turn b. j. upton around and he will catch that ball about 390 feet away. nick johnson 1-for-3 tonight. the ripken all stars, the valley league all stars, collegiate ball players, the mid-atlantic classic on july 15th, furnish tour stadium, regency furnish tour stadium in wall cover. homerun derby and for ticket information, (410)588-9900. >> rob: i was going to say about cristian guzman, he cannot be hitting the ball in the air like that. he does not have the kind of power to put it out of the stadium. he has to work on getting the ball down on the ground and get on base for nick. they were eating up garza first time through the night. this guy came in with a 5 earned run average. >> bob: nick johnson hits it hard the other way. longoria to his left with

joel was definitely shocked. he understands it was a deal that had to be done. here is more from joel. >> kind of caught me off guard and i didn't figure that i'd get traded today or anytime soon really. they stuck with me through lot this year. i've had a great time here in dc. you know, they've been good to me. so, it's kind of tough, but change of scenery might be best thing for. >> debbi: of course, joel will especially miss his roommate john lannan. bob? >> bob: i did see reporters talking to john about his feelings today. of course, his rent just doubled. >> rob: i'm really going to miss my roommate. now i have to play the whole rate, the whole apartment rent. >> bob: i can't remember what debbi said last week who the sloppier one of the two was? wil told me last night he thought he hit it out, but it was to the very end of the scoreboard out there in left center. >> rob: he told me he was going to the gym at 11:00. he was going to the gym -- he was very disappointed. >> bob: when he hit that ball, that was a tie game. that was the top of the eighth. he wa

let's touch on the problems of joel hanrahan. we know he can pitch. he's proven that before, when he's on, he's very good. when he's not on, there's problems. >> we've got a tape here, we just, you know, he's got a great fastball. probably the best fastball in our ball club. he's got a devastating slider, but sometimes he doesn't command either one of them. when he does command, we're going to show you how effective he can be. last year seven saves. as he was able to throw the fastball and elevate it. when you get a fastball number this area and you're throwing 97, hitters have to cheat. they're going to chase that pitch. you're going to see where he throws a back door breaking ball. it's kind of a hanger, but it's located in a good spot. he was able to do that. when things are going well and you're mechanically sound, those things happen. look at that. that ball is just going right there and drops down almost to the bottom of the shin guards. that is the breaking ball that we are looking for. you throw it somewhere in the strike zone, it drops out of

joel was outstanding in the 8th inning last night. he actually pitched the last two outs in that inning and then a 1-2-3 night. rolen takes a beauty of a fastball on the outside corner. >> rob: i was talking to darren fletcher today talking about hanrahan, how can this kid throw 95 and not three 95, trying to blow by team. >> bob: game tied. 95 mile-per-hour fastball. scott rolen turned it around. >> rob: the location was just terrible. still have to locate it. >> bob: that run charged to kip well and a win taken away from ross detwiler. >> rob: well, now, you have to do damage control right here. pitch location is going to be up in the zone, very hittable. rolen did not try to crush the ball, put it in play for a base hit and tie the ballgame. >> bob: scott rolen, 2-for-4 tonight. here is adam lind. and they are going up hacking. >> rob: that's a very good hitting ball club. you knew it was a matter of time they would put a couple of singles, maybe doubles together, get themselves back in the ballgame. another line drive knocked down

. >> bob: and this is how he feels about joel hanrahan these days. 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.

. >> johnny: joel getting up and loosening up in the bullpen now. ronny belliard will see what he can do here in the 6th. >> rob: you've got a good power hitter on deck. you can get on possibly with a base hit and make this a 2-1 game, put bard in a position to get us a lead or at least tie the score. >> johnny: as you look down the batting order, bard next and then martis will be hit four. belliard fouls it back. last night out of the bullpen all three guys were terrific. >> rob: execution out there. now we're in a little bit of a valley offensively. tough manufacture a run. >> johnny: throw to 2nd. out at 2nd. leaned too far off, couldn't get back. he's gunned down by hanigan. dunn is out at 2nd. if you're like a lot of people, you have high blood pressure... and you have high cholesterol. you've taken steps to try and lower both your numbers. but how close are you to your goals? there may be more you can do. only caduet combines two proven medicines... in a single pill to significantly lower... high blood pressure and high cholesterol. in a clini

i did that with joel youngblood, my first full year. i was struggling, i didn't want to go to pete rose and go "pete, i can't get them out, what do i do exactly?" >> johnny: phillips has a bead on this one and willie harris is down in the fourth inning with a little pop to second base . >> rob: here are all the young men on our ball club. >> johnny: 11 for march visit, got 9, stammen has got four, and of the wins ross and craig are still looking for their first. all five drafted or signed by this organization.  well we have got two  in the fourth. elijah dukes has tied the ball game, a bouncing ball to phillips again on to first, hernandez, the inning is over for the nats but not until they get that home run from elijah dukes. what a shot to left, home of that 377-foot sign and for dukes home run number 6 of the year and he ties the ball game at one. look forward to haven't changed. like owning a home. watching our children grow. and retiring with confidence. so whatever you're looking forward t

the likely candidates are colome and joel hanrahan. to me, colome is older, joel has more of an upside and he's younger, so expect colome to be designated for assignment. >> bob: thank you. big news for the nationals bullpen as we approach the bottom of the 7th here at camden yards. both of those pitchers have struggled mightily. hanrahan probably slightly more struggling than colome lately. here's tavares for a second inning, facing jones, markakis and huff. >> jim p.: he certainly hasn't struggled. talking about tavarez. >> bob: that ball is jacked to center, willie harris is after it. and he'll run it down. that's indicative of the center field he's played for the nationals. >> rob: that ball was hit, then that ball was run down. that was a pretty good play. willie harris gets on his horse right there, gets after it. and the walls come on you pretty quick here in this ballpark. >> jim p.: probably the toughest field it play here is left field. when the late johnny oates managed here, he moved brady anderson. he said i'm going to put

joel hanrahan with a count of 1- 2. rios hanging tough. white sox won, baltimore scoring late to win at philadelphia, phillies losing six in a row now. how about that? detroit at home beat milwaukee 3-2. not a good day for the national league. that includes right here. tampa bay, 8-5 lead at the mets. atlanta five hey five in the ninth at boston, 5-5. houston about to win at minnesota 4-1, st. louis 12-5 at kansas city. american league ruling on this day so far. 3-2, 2 minute board. there's a base hit. he had retired the first two batters. the next three all make it aboard, and it's 7-2 toronto. when you're pitching in the ninth inning and down four, your manager wants to see the effort that you might give when it's a 1-run game in the 9th inning. joe has not been able to close it out. >> it looked like a change-up, which you don't want to really throw a lot of those to right- handers because it breaks down and into them. that's what that was. as you said, you want to get the three outs and give your team an opportunity to bat in the ninth

we bring joel hanrahan out of the nationals bullpen in the 8 8th. great outing for shairon martis. he had 7 solid innings on the mound tonight. >> rob: you can't pitch any better than that. that's exactly what's expected of you. go out there, go through the lineup three time, try to get the ball to the 8th. >> johnny: hanrahan comes in 38 hit, 12 walks. he's not allowed six earned runs hrhree iingsgs tchehed. . jerron goes to work against hanrahan here in the top of the 8t 1-0. willy taveras is next for the reds. then comes brandon phillips. >> johnny: he's ahead 1-2. lowest era since may 21st. that's a pretty good number. >> rob: that weakness we had has now turned into a strength. now we're having trouble getting runs. you know what, the hitters did it now it's time for the pitchers to go on a role. the hitters will catch back up. >> johnny: hairston retired a ground ball to guzman. >> rob: our over all run average is a run er than the closest competitor. we need to get that downder four. if our starters ke going a t mo >> johnny: the ball came right to his glove. the umpire raci

. >> joel hanrahan almost came in trying to hold the jays down, unfortunately not a successful one for him. >> it's unfortunate. >> these guys can come back from four runs any day. it suction that you get in that situation and get two quick outs and let the game get out of hand right there. the team that we have, we feel like we can come back from four runs. we started out getting the first three guys on base right there, so it's tough. >> can you put today a side and say, we took two out of three from the blue jays and two out of three from the yankees and facing the red sox. >> it was a great week for us. we won two series. those are two big teams there that we won the series from, and we have to get ready for boston and enjoy the day off tomorrow and regroup a little bit and get ready. >> the boston red sox come to town for a big series starting tuesday. they beat the braves today 6-5, started the game 3-game lead over the yankees. lannan, a tough act to follow. he's keeping the ball down, getting the strikeouts when he needs them. there's nothing you can say about john lannan that
