Couldn't get the third out. THATS HUGE.

Could have been huger!!

I still dont think there is enough evidence to overturn the call. It looked like he MIGHT have gotten that tag on his arm before it crossed the plate.

I think he was out, but it was close.

I just don't think it should be allowed to check to see if Joseph was blocking the plate, not use a challenge on it, and still have the guy called safe in the end as they "look at the whole play". Maddon is getting a free challenge there. It's abusing the flawed system. Everyone is going to start asking the crew chief to review every single close play at the plate and not using a challenge. It's a farce. Joseph couldn't have given him any more of the plate.

Holding them to 1 is a win.

On the bright side, the pitch count is OK after all that.

If he keeps it at 1 that's a win for us after the start of game.

I agree.

Red Sox rocking Dicky 3-0.

Jennings did the Orioles a big favor by gambling as he did.

Well crap... the shift hurt

Every fielder was placed wrong that inning. Infield shift gave up first hit, left field shift gave up the second hit, and infield shift gave up last hit.

This inning could have been a disaster. Chen not sharp at all.

Three soft ground balls and two fly balls off the end of the bat, ahead of every hitter. Looks pretty sharp to me.

Gonzalez?

This game is going to be tight. EVERY run is crucial tonight. Cobb is murder.

Did Ty ever murder somebody?

No.

His mother accidentally killed his father, though.

There being a review is a farce. The catcher not blocking the plate is a farce... I hate it all.

Atta boy Nick! Seeing eye single.
