I think Kemp got screwed out of an extra bases RBI there.

 That said, not an easy play to call as an umpire because it was so close.

I always thought that's why they use chalk rather than paint -- if a ball kicks up chalk, it's fair. Maybe it doesn't work that way. I don't see how the umpire and reviewers could miss the chalk.

You never want to put one of the fastest players in the league on base for free.

The rain would negate the powder effect of the chalk in this case.

Nice pick off!

Fast players are more likely to get picked off.

Nice pickoff move.

Yeah, kudos to the fans that stuck this out and are still there.

Adley shouldn't swing until Smith throws a strike.

OK, he can swing now.

Orioles need to go Chris Rock this inning. 

[Billy F-Face3]

Looks like the Wall might be -1 for the Orioles after that one.

[SteveA]

Another 29/30?

Not our night. And doubt we get tomorrow in.

Had game. It happens. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about some of these hitters though
