Yeah, sucks but a 2B was the right call.

That will be a double. Although it should probably be a triple, DJ (understandably) stopped running when the umpires ruled it a home run.

Aside from the fact that if the ump hadn't ruled it a HR he might have advanced to third.

Wow! Villar NOT fast! At least not there.

Great play Villar! We need runs. Bad!

Three tough outs that inning. Good defense.

I don't remember ever before seeing Kiermaier not catch a ball that could possibly have been caught by a human being.

I've seen him lose one in the roof at the trop.

He's one of the best I can think of right now.

 

Manufactured run!

In the context of precedent, most of the time the Umpire is going to put him at second.

It was Stewart.

[MurphDogg]

Luckily Stewart scored anyway. That is an issue with instant replay, you can get punished because the ump blew the call so you don't try to take the extra base.

[MurphDogg]

Bowie up 4-0 after 4. Ryan McKenna with two doubles.

Erie down 3-2 after 6.

[O's84]

Good job at situational hitting.

Did that really just happen?  

[scOtt]

Nice snag there.

 

Chip away. A run an inning. Pen will give some up.

Once a year. On par.

Why do we care about Erie? Just asking.

Been kinda sub-par these last couple years.
