He was definitely safe. Just an awful throw by Mountcastle throwing a weak one hopper to Galvis.

Galvis' throw was accurate but he had to have been halfway out there to get that throw from Mountcastle.

Mountcastle ran a bad route and he ran it slowly, got to the ball lazy and he threw weakly. A bit stronger throw might have got him.

I just got back from the gym ...... I can't believe that the Orioles were leading this late in the game up until a minute ago.

The Yankees deserve this win. I don't want them to have it, but they've clearly outplayed the Orioles by an order of magnitude tonight.

Yes.

And he made a pretty weak throw on the next hit.  Galvis made a good play scooping it and maki g an excellent relay throw and the play at the place was super close.

Well. Let this year play out. If he has to go to 1st at some point. So be it.

Did they rule Sanchez' ball a hit? 

Ugh, now Yankees bullpen gonna shut us down. We had our chance, Mountcastle blew it.

Yes, hit.  Typical when the guy doesn't actually touch the ball

At least Ryan is making up for it with his bat...

[O's84]

This team just pees their pants every time they play the Yankees.  This is getting comical if it weren't so maddening.

[HowAboutThat]

MC is a DH.

Sheesh Mancini and Valdez!

[Moose Milligan]

Sad to say but we deserve to lose this game.  Mountcastle's blunder, Valdez being late to cover....we're beating ourselves.

Poor footwork getting the throw off.

Go back to the gym 

[Aristotelian]

Have I ever told you guys how much I hate the Yankees?

[Il BuonO]

This is ominous. Go ahead run at third with a very good hitter up.
