Smith didn't touch it before it hit the ground. That is why errors for outfielders are so pointless.

To me he flat out whiffed it. Went back and watched he also broke back initially.

Well. Could have been much, much worse. 

That last pitch to McCutchen wasn’t exactly impressive.

Well clearly, Davis somehow caused LeBlanc to not cover first somehow.  Maybe some sort of mind control, because he wanted the hot-dogging glory of making that play unassisted.  Totally a textbook E3!

It's called leadership.

This team isn't good enough to be giving away runs like that ......... and especially with any starting pitcher not named "Cobb" or "Means" on the mound.

There were 2 bad defensive plays that inning......... all things considered, the Orioles were very lucky to get out of that inning.

Seems there’s a lot of excitement in left field.

Nah, it wouldn't have been an error if LeBlanc had covered first.

I agree with Steve. I think he still makes it even if Wade covers. That guy can move.

Touch 'em all!!!!

[eddie83]

I thought it was gone. Could hear the sound. 

[Chavez Ravine]

That was odd.HR?

[SteveA]

Tie game!

The sound of ball hitting pole was clearly audible in the fanless ballpark.

Yeah, it was hit maybe 6 feet in front of him.

[MurphDogg]

Great noise.

[SteveA]

Wow that was close.   An inch lower and it would have been a double.   Or maybe ruled foul without enough evidence to overturn.

I don't think you can review fair/foul on non-homers.

Edit: I am wrong, you can, in the outfield. Just can't review the ones that bounce over first or third base.

[Morgan423]

Were they looking at that to tell where it hit the pole?  The pole has a fence-level line painted on it... wonder if that would have been a double instead if it hit under the line?   I don't keep up with field rules, especially at stadiums we usually only play at twice a decade.
