April 10: Orioles try to avoid sweep at Tampa

[O's84]

Stupid hit and run.  God I hate that play, usually doesn't work.

[Tony-OH]

Hays should probably not try to steal bases if that lollipop throw gets him thrown out.

[O-The-Memories]

You better be sure you can steal on a breaking ball, especially when Kluber was having trouble throwing strikes. That's bad.

Tony, why isn’t MASN displaying the strike zone box? Do you know?

Probably cost $100 for a license cost and they didn't want to swing it.

It's not a very analytics style play.

Is all of this just pettiness toward the Nationals?

Yeah, looked like he was running in quick sand.

I prefer not having the box live. The box is nice for replays and I can jump on Gameday if I am curious about a particular pitch, but since the umpires zone is different than the box I don't really need to see every "missed" call.

[Il BuonO]

Lot of pitches….

Lol! That’s what I thought. I knew it had something to do with cutting costs. Unbelievable.

[Tony-OH]

Not thrilled with that 3-2 slider call..

[Moshagge3]

I get jealous watching these Tampa hitters take 3-2 pitches out of the zone. Wish Mancini could do that.

[O's84]

Of course, well done ... well done guys.

[Tony-OH]

1-6-3 DP to loaded based no outs because you can't field your position.

I like Wells as much as the next guy but he needs to field that ball.

Craig Goldstein wrote an article at Baseball Prospectus that was anti K-Zone over the offseason that was picked up by Defector.
