What happened?

Grounder to short with Trey on 2nd, Trey headed for 3rd and the SS fielded the ball just behind him, chased him down, and tagged him.   Batter safe at 1st but no longer a runner in scoring position.

We have run ourselves out of so many innings this year.

Grounder up the middle with Mancini on 2nd and he was too far off the bag.  

Wd have been an infield hit for Nunez?

Thanks. Anyone know who is supposed to be coaching the running game?

Synchronicity: 12 min ago from the Baysox playoff game, McKenna doesn't know the count and gets run down:

Quote

One very bad baserunning mistake by the Baysox in the fourth inning.  With one out, the first Baysox player to reach base (he walked) started jogging to second after a 2-1 pitch to the next batter was called a ball, evidently thinking it was ball four.  The Harrisburg catcher, not expecting the runner to be going, simply threw the ball back to the pitcher, but the pitcher had plenty of time to start a rundown, and the runner was tagged out.

Seemed like the sort of misadventure we've seen from the big club recently.

No. It was easy out at 1st.

I am so done with Bleier.  What a useless performance. 

[LA2]

Means deserved a W but he's out of the game and the offense doesn't when it goes 0 for 10 with RISP and is down a run despite outhitting the other team 9-4 and makes one less error than them.

[eddie83]

What a debacle. 

[O's84]

Absolutely pathetic.

[Moose Milligan]

I've had enough of Kline.  

[tntoriole]

Stewart with one awful throw.  Weak, weak, weak.  And the bullpen implodes.

Bleier is far from being our biggest problem. I'm grateful for the fine 1.5 seasons he gave us for a near-minimum salary. And for not showing any urge to beat up coach Flores.

[Greg Pappas]

Stewart should never play the field. Wow... his arm is even worse than I recalled.

[LA2]

What was the Stewart throw situation?
