For those watching, was the Martinez ball a likely DP?   I see some criticism of both Urias and Holliday on the play.   Should we have gotten two?   Who screwed up?

Yes.  Tailor made .  Holiday lost the ball transferring it.   JD Martinez runs like my grandmother

It should been 2, Holiday lost control of the ball.

[Can_of_corn]

Not at all.

That wasn't a bad pitch for him to offer at.

That wasn't a "pitcher's pitch" for him.  Everyone is different you know.

That pitch was right there at the .130/.115 spot.  Certainly not idea but not something he should take so he can fall behind 0-1.

The ball came up on Urias.  He made a good play on it but then Holiday rushed it and lost the grip trying to turn DP.  He had more time then he thought IMO because martinez is really slow.

Slowly but surely.. cracks in the veneer

[O's84]

I can't imagine how much that hurts.

Yep, it sure did come apart for Manaea.

[Can_of_corn]

Why we are at it, here is the "cookie" from the other night.

[SteveA]

Did Gunnar just take out Manaea?   Where (on the body) did it hit him?   Gameday said there was an injury delay.

Oh God Kimbrel is up

Hit batter, can't convert an inning ending double play, get away game, may as well just give in to the perfect game and move on down the road.

Good strategy.   We'll keep you in mind when it's time to replace Hyde as manager.

Soto was up before. Is this a net positive or negative???
