vs. MARINERS, 8/04

[OFFNY]

All of that because of a missed strike 3 call.

Ridiculous.

He (the umpire) cost Chen about 10 extra pitches.

[jjnono]

Full innings worth of pitches in that AB.

it will be on ESPN tonight, guaranteed.

[Ori-Al]

He needed a two pitch out there, and he got it.

Now, could we please score?

[PaulFolk]

All of that because of a missed strike 3 call.

Ridiculous.

FWIW, that pitch was a ball based on the MASN strike zone tracker. Just missed inside.

[OFFNY]

28 frigging pitches. God.

24 strikes, 4 balls.

[schittenden]

28 frigging pitches. God.

Still at what, 64, 65 through 4? Could be a little higher. Didn't catch it before they took it off the board here. Not too terrible. Should be able to get through 6 or 7 if he avoids trouble.

[callahan09]

Smoak's at bat was probably the craziest I have ever seen.

I saw that.

Close enough for us Oriole fans to complain, though.

[Malike]

Here comes murderer's row!

[Ripken]

This season has been incredibly frustrating for me. They've never gotten on a roll and I hate watching impatient offenses. I'm starting to think they'll just never get everything going enough to be a real threat this season.

[Morgan423]

Silver lining: maybe Saunders sitting in the dugout for 10 extra minutes may have iced him?

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's put some hits together, c'mon now.

[schittenden]

I saw that.

Close enough for us Oriole fans to complain, though.

We know the MASN strike tracker is biased anyway.

[Can_of_corn]

incredible AB. We dont have anyone who can do this.

Are you trying to say that Smoak is an adroit handler of the lumber?

Cause he's not.

[OregonBird]

I just knew Saunders would give the O's fits today. Time to get something going.
