Really tired of umpires ruining games with awful strike zones.

[mrbig1]

Well, that sucks.

[jdwilde1]

This strike zone appears large.

And after that we have 9 straight games vs the top 3 teams in MLB, record-wise.

We shall overcome.

I just can’t understand how Hyde/Elias aren’t able to find ABs for Stowers in Baltimore when Santander has a .629 OPS and Mountcastle has a .684 OPS. Meanwhile Stowers homered 3 times yesterday. 

[Tony-OH]

Dang, that was close.

[SteveA]

Guess they didn't move the fences in quite enough at Comerica Park.

3? Nice, will have to look that up. Agree with being perplexed about Stowers.

Outside of having Adley on the bench, this is probably the O’s best defensive alignment.

It seems like Ortiz was not in good position to receive that throw and make the tag. That’s a shame because Hays threw a dart.

Don't get me started! lol

Good Lord, two weak ass hits and they have a run.

Too bad Urias couldn't make the play on the first batter of the game, though.

He was a little bit too deep but I think he was playing the hop.

What was really sad about that Mountcastle AB is he actually took two pitches well out of the strike zone and they got called a strike. He’s just gonna be more emboldened to hack away.
