[Peace21]

Sloppy!!!We look lost at the plate.

Wtf was that?!?

[VThokies]

This game has become embarrassing to watch.... I need a drink.

ughh, if not for the hit run call there Markakis doesn't swing at ball 4 and we have the bases loaded instead of a wasted inning.

What? Markakis took the pitch. It was a called strike three.

What? Markakis took the pitch. It was a called strike three.

He's talking about the 3-1 count that was ball 4.

[OrangeJerseys]

What? Markakis took the pitch. It was a called strike three.

And it was a horrible call.

[barellano]

You know it's bad when your 2 best players are taking strike 3 right over the plate and getting throw out at 2nd by 10 feet. On the same play.

[FarmSystem]

A million times every year, a good base stealer doesn't get a stolen base because the hitter, mainly Mora, sometimes others, just hacks away and fouls it off.

I think he was referring to the prior pitch, where Roberts broke for second and Markakis swung at a potential ball four.

What game are you watching?

[The B&G]

that inning was absolutely pathetic. Holy god!

[PaulFolk]

And it was a horrible call.

Looked like it was right down the middle to me.

Ah, gotcha.

Yep, is there ever a 3-1 count with a guy on 1st where DT doesn't call for the hit and run?!

[NittanyOsFan]

It appeared Roberts was trying to get in a run down by pulling up to let Andino try to score, but Andino never broke for the plate.
