Stowers would have caught it

Flame away…..

[Spakman]

Immediately release him

It’s a flukish play. McKenna made a spectacular catch earlier. When he dropped it I kinda felt like we were doomed. Move on.

I would have caught it. 
 

What’s your point?

At least McKenna correctly figured out where the ball would come down, unlike Hays.

Yeah, make excuses for a borderline major player who should be paying attention to catching a  fly ball

Frustrating but flukish.  I'm more annoyed at Bautista for just teeing it up to Duvall.

I’m planning to go to tomorrow’s game. This miss catch has cost me hundreds of dollars in ticket prices.

McKenna is a good defender but that play is inexcusable. Not the right time of the game to be lackadaisical. Get directly under the ball, use two hands.

You see infielders boot routine grounders, throw balls away. You don’t really see weak flyballs like that get dropped. 

You forget a lot the of walk off losses over time.  This one will be remembered for eternity.

I don’t know how a major league (or even minor league) player can screw that up so badly.  It wasn’t even sunny out.  His WAR should be -1.0 because he actually turned a victory into a loss.

Ball hit him in heel of glove.

I agree and call up Cowser tomorrow to take McKenna's place.

I would be too, except that Bautista and the entire rest of our team should have been in the clubhouse by that point.

Mateo almost threw way game one. That's two games in a row where a lackadaisical play has hurt this team late. I don't know if its just a flukish thing or guys getting a little too comfortable. Its probably more of a flukish thing, but the Orioles can not afford their defense to break down in key moments like it has.

Yeah, it's emotionally hard to comeback from "we won" to oh my God, that dimwit just dropped that.
