The Phillies announcers about the Orioles: "they're relentless ".

I complained several times last night about the radio broadcast. It was the first time this season that I listened in and it was horrendous. Perhaps they just had a bad night, but it was a REALLY bad night.
The dropped popup was described as a pop up in the infield. The pitcher was under it. He fell. The ball dropped. We tied the game. Now it was done with great excitement...don't get me wrong, but as a radio listener I had no idea what happened. Then there was a 5 second pause and the announcer excitedly proclaimed that Santander had scored and he couldn't believe that he was going on the popup. The announcer had actually forgotten there were two outs. Then he realized it, corrected himself and talked about that for a couple of minutes. That and the fact that it was an incredibly bizarre play. However, no one on the radio ever fully explained what happened. I had to find out by asking in the game forum.
That seemed to be how the entire broadcast went. It sounded like some college kids were announcing a high school game. Damn I miss Chuck and Jon.

MLB has thankfully instituted all these rules to speed up the game.

Imagine the Phanatic taking the lead at second. Sticking his big tongue out and mocking our pitcher. Flopping his gut around. That's what baseball is all about.

Would be nice if MASN could give us a better replay showing the whole field.
Does MASN have control over that? I thought they were at the mercy of the home team's broadcast team.

Austin Hays hit a LEADOFF inside the park 2-run homer. Has that ever happened before? Stress on the leadoff.
Wow...it's rarer than the unassisted triple play.

Teams with no mascot, like the NYYs, don't get a runner.
Ball girls then.

I think the mascots should be the leadoff runner on second. I would have tons of fun watching that.

Two bad bullpens going into extra innings. Each team getting a free leadoff runner on second.
It's the baseball our forefathers had always dreamed of.

The fielder (I don't remember who it was, but it wasn't the pitcher) tripped on the pitcher's mound. If he had been on flat grass I think he'd have caught it no problem.
In one sentence, without giving any names, you gave me a far more accurate description than the "professional".

You can watch another 200 games, I don't think you'll see anything like that again. What you just saw was super rare. Wasn't even dropped, just terrible communication on something a little league team could have done a better job on.
From the Oriole's radio broadcast it sounded like a trip by the pitcher. Maybe a dropped ball. Possibly a line drive.
The guy is painting a picture with words, but it looks like a Jackson Pollock.

I'm stuck listening to the Orioles radio broadcast tonight. I honestly don't know the announcer, but he's horrible. He just yells alot and has no situational awareness. He sounded shocked that Santander was going and scored on that. Uhhh...there were two outs, he better be running on that!

So double headers get shortened, but games that would normally be called complete because of weather are continued at a later date in a different stadium.
Manfred is a joke.

How long do they wait? I mean, are we going to restart this after three or four hours? I know the Nats don't want to throwaway a comeback attempt just because of the incompetence of their grounds crew, but come on... enough is enough.
Depends how long the fans stay. They don't want to lose out on concession sales.

A minor sacrifice for technological innovations.
It's what happens when Skynet starts running baseball games.

It works fine on the turf but would destroy wet grass.
...and it eats outfielders.

It might be safe to say that we've found something the Orioles aren't the worst at.

They might as well just leave the tarp off now. It's only going to trap all that water underneath it now.

The Ground Crew gets an assist on our win.

You better stop typing and clean it up before the fire burns up your porch.
Oh, I got it. Scraped the leaves and dirt off it, then decided I'm not putting that back in my mouth. [Insert "that's what she said" joke here]
Gnats vs. Orioles 8-14

That's an impressive cry for help.
