I guess they are saying when he came off the bag his first step was an inch or two in the direction of 3rd.   Therefore he was "past second base" and was required to re-touch it on the way back to first, which he didn't.

Kevin Brown is spot on, it is very reminiscent of that play last year when Trey Mancini was ruled to have "taken a turn" towards 2nd on the basis of a slight body turn and maybe an inch or two of leftward motion, so he was called out when they tagged him walking back to first.

Kevin Brown is so good at his job.

Kremer is dealing, tonight.  Not bad for a throw-in player for the real prize,  Yusniel Diaz.

I don't want to sound like Danny downer. the sucks a score runs quick. We have to score.

I am confused and dealing with conflicted emotions after the umpires made a terrible bushlead call that made no sense, followed by a contrasting emotion from the direct turn around of announcing the new 30 year lease deal for the Orioles. It's like whiplash.

Thank you for the input! Not seeing it that way. If that play is an out - it’s the worst out in baseball

One of em, thought it was Palmer but might’ve been Ben, called it almost immediately.

”He’s out.”

Have they been in the same room together?

WTF happened there. What is the BS technical explanation for that Mateo play. I would contest this as a manager as a protest to the game

If you move toward 3rd, you need to touch the previous bag (2nd) before you return to first.

 

Apparently standing up on the left-field side of 2nd base because the fielder is standing over you and applied a fake tag on you counts as making a move to 3rd.  Who knew?

Live look-in at @Sports Guywhen he saw John Angelos and the Maryland Governor sitting in a box at the game 

I still would have booed that POS

Will have to check the replay, but Mateo slid through the bag and was already deemed touching it on return. That would be my contest as a manager

Can anyone get a video clip of the play? I thought he was literally standing on the bag after he stood up after he was on the third base side.

Still rubbing that shoulder. Not good.

[Sports Guy]

Damn it, Mounty’s shoulder isn’t right.
