I am listening on the radio so I didn’t actually see the play, but Kevin Brown said it was not a quality throw, and it sure didn’t sound like it as he was describing it in the moment.

No the throw was off.  But he barehanded it and was throwing off balance.  If he had been able to get him, it would have been a Sports Center top 10 play.  He had to rush it off balance to have any chance. 

You can't expect him to be Manny.

Now Urias's play could have been a DP and we'd be out of the inning.

I just wanna pause for a moment and say how much I love baseball

I watch all the other games when the Orioles are off. Mostly the NL West.

“...That was a double play waiting to happen, had Urias fielded it cleanly.”

You are not allowed to “assume the double play,” so you can’t give an error on the play, but yes, our defense is bad today.

[SteveA]

Ok, it was a struggle, but out of the inning unharmed.

You are my brother. I follow the Rangers, the Mariners, and the Padres these days.

WHEW! Harvey got out of his own mess!

[SteveA]

Uh oh.  Hope Harvey isn't hurt.

The last out at the inning was hard hit back to him.  He knocked it down with [some part of his body, happened so fast we couldn't tell].  Picked up and zipped a throw to first for the last out.

While the Os were batting they showed the trainer looking at his hand/arm.  But then the trainer left him alone so assume it is OK and they were just checking 

[scOtt]

That was quick...

I still think it's a bad idea to give out a Baltimore Elite Giants replica cap when the Red Sox are in town.

It's red and blue with a "B" on the front.

E3.

Matt Olson not playing because he somehow took a ball off the face in batting practice the other day (I think he was taking BP and fouled it off the cage and back into his face somehow).

[SteveA]

Urias now has a modest 2 game hitting streak!

[SteveA]

Woohoo!!!

[Natty]

I'm loving this. Lol. 4-0.
