wow Weiters please hurry, Ramon can't even throw out Overbay a first baseman. I know some has to do with the pitchers, but he hasn't thrown anyone out in a while.

In all fairness to Ramon, BROB should have tagged him but he simply botched it. He assumed Overbay foot was going to slide into the base where BROB's glove was, but it was a smart play by Overbay to pull his leg up and go high and beat Roberts tag the bag.

That play there sums up this game for the Orioles.

the throw beat him to the bag but Roberts tagged the bag then forgot to actually tag Overbay and he slipped his foot in. Completely Roberts fault.

He didn't forget to tag Overbay, he put his glove down to make a sweep tag and Overbay didn't get there as fast as he expected. He was a little off balance from going up to get the high throw and may have thought he did tag him. He has had some trouble off and on with applying tags on SB attempts ever since his elbow injury. It may be fear of re-injuring that arm or worse yet (and I do think somewhat possible) he just doesn't have the same sensation in that hand that he did before all the muscle and nerve damage so he may be guessing as to whether or not his glove has actually touched the runner.

Cormier had the fake to thirs throw to first if he would have just thrown the ball to Millar. the guy at first was toast but Cormier decided to look back the runner at third for a second time. Would still be 3-0.

Roberts simply didn't leave his glove down like he was afraid he'd get spiked.

The guy on first wanted the rundown to set up a chance for the man on third to score.

But the replay showed that the guy at third had already started going back and the guy at first was hustling but was stuck. Hell throw it to Millar and get the guy going home. Versus holding the ball and get no shot at either runner.

Someone tell Jim Hunter to shut up about how great it is to watch the Blue Jays pitcher having a well pitched game. What an idiot!
