Does anyone know why Mountcastle didn't go back and touch first base? The runner didn't touch the base. 

That’s what I thought as well. Looked like he never touched it going by, RM was more concerned with the runner at 3B and there was no replay to see if he would have had a shot at him. 
 

As an aside, very poor camera work all night by MASN.

Well at least they're consistent.

He never touched the bag. Why isn't anyone saying anything about Mountcastle's play!!??

i agree, and I kept yelling at the TV, but I think with him losing the ball, he didn't see him miss the bag. He just assumed the runner did. And I'm not even sure anyone else in the infield had an angle to see him miss the bag either (EDIT: I see Bautista did). Just one of those things. We had the great angle, the rest on the field didn't. Bang-bang.

Apropos of Mountcastle's screwup, I wonder if we'll ever see Rutschman at first and Ryan at DH this year.

Mountcastle is not good defensively. He’s a future full time DH. Don’t know if AR has the better arm at 1B though.

I even saw the first base coach of Seattle yelling at him to touch the bag and Mountcastle never heard it either. So, Mountcastle has three chances to get an out that was literally 10 feet around him and he didn't hear the first base coach, didn't know the runner MISSED the bag, and because he missed the bag, he could have just tagged him! Neither of the Orioles announcers didn't say a word about it either.

I'm not really wondering because I'm mad about the error, it just got me thinking. Is part of caring for the owie in Adley's tricep that we're never going to see him at first this year?

With the crowd roar going on during all the excitement of the play, it's probably hard to hear anyone yelling to tell you what to do. I think that's why the runner didn't try to go back to the base as he didn't hear the coach, and Mountcastle didn't hear it as a clue he should tag him either.

He hasn’t had that many throws to 2B, but maybe. I can’t imagine his arm being any worse than RM though.

    • Because it's an attempt to curb one team's fanbase from stuffing the ballot.
    • 1 vs 2 vote is stupid after #1 already got the most votes.  Why not 2 cs 3 for reserve?
    • Picking at 22 and 32 we have a chance to nab some guys with resumes. Benge, Brecht, Honeycutt, Amick, White, Culpepper, and one of the NCAA C if we want. Hopefully we can get two of those guys when we pick. Developing pitching and keeping it healthy is hard. With our recent history with bats it might be good to keep growing them. Benge and White/Amick would be ideal. They could be real close to Bowie this time next year. 
    • Hopefully, Santander is Tuck’s replacement. He is worthy, and his hard work should be rewarded if there is room.  Kimbrel would have been nice, but Clay Holmes, when rested and healthy, has much better stuff. I know the numbers are poor for him at the moment, but he is nasty. Kimbrel is a gutty vet who used to be incredibly tough. His selection this year would have been about his career and legacy. That is not a popular take on this board, so be it. Westburg and Mountcastle can use the time off. Both are supposed to be fairly banged up at the moment. O’Hearn is just another guy I would have loved to see make it. A grinder, who exemplifies the blue collar fan base of Baltimore. A great story, but mostly a platoon guy.
    • Outside of any of the "snubs" losing out of any potential bonuses, I don't care. I'd almost rather see them getting a solid break mid season anyways. 
    • I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year. 
    • On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.
