There should be national outrage at the fact that the previous homerun wasn't even reviewed. There is no possible excuse to not at least take a look at the video. There were at least TWO fans that interfered with Cruz on that play, with the fatass on the left purposely tugging at his glove!

I am seriously boiling right now.

For this to get much publicity, Texas will have to lose this game by exactly one run.

Yep, if it had happened to the MFY it would be the only topic of discussion on Mike & Mike with the obvious verdict that it was interference and we need replay.

I'm so pissed because it just brings up memories of all the other BS calls in favor of the MFY, including the most egregious one ever.

I think I'm more angry because it conjures up images of Jeffrey Maier, which is an obvious sore spot for any Orioles fan.

However, why have replay in a situation like this then choose not to use it? It makes absolutely no sense to me. The right field umpire simply confirmed his blindness on the very next batter. I wouldn't trust his judgment whatsoever.

      How many of the Orioles’ ST broadcasts have you watched?

      Unfortunately have not really been able to watch I wish they showed more ST games on MASN.

      I have no doubt that the WBC games are 100 times more electric than a spring training game.  ST games are very relaxing and fun, but they are the opposite of intense.  I’m still surprised at the viewing disparity, though I’ll wait until tomorrow night before considering the poll results comparable since I started the WBC poll a day earlier.

      Fangraphs positional power rankings

      By Frobby · Posted

      Fangraphs credits him with 2.1 fWAR at 3B and 1.7 at SS, so that’s 3.8 so far (it’s possible they might have him dabbling at DH once in a while, we’ll see).  At SS, the O’s ranked 18th at 3.4 fWAR, with Mateo and Henderson splitting time roughly 60/40.  Fangraphs comments: “This playing time projection is the numerical equivalent of throwing your hands up in the air. Henderson looks bound for stardom, be it at third or shortstop, but Mateo is still holding on to the position for now after a solid defensive year established him as the everyday starter. His offensive numbers are downright ugly – that .284 projected wOBA is the second-lowest for anyone in this article with 100 or more PAs – but you can get away with that kind of bat at shortstop if your glove is transcendent. “In 2022, Mateo’s was, but he’d never flashed that level of defense before, so Orioles talent evaluators will have their work cut out for them early in the year. Henderson will likely start the season at third base, but if Mateo’s defense looks shaky, the team should make the switch sooner rather than later. Those offensive numbers next to Henderson’s name are no joke — think Corey Seager, if you’re looking for a parallel as an offense-first lefty shortstop. 2023 is just the start of Baltimore’s plan for contention, but what they do at shortstop will have ramifications for both this year and the future.” https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-positional-power-rankings-shortstop/

      What I've been seeing overall is that a lot of fans were more engaged with the WBC than with their regular team this spring. Just yesterday I was talking to someone who had gone to the games in Miami and were raving about the experience.

      I hadn’t really started the WBC poll with this in mind, but so far it appears that many more OH members tuned into the WBC than have tuned in to O’s spring training games.   Considering the composition of the audience, and the frequent complaints about the paucity of O’s spring training broadcasts, that’s not necessarily the outcome I would have expected.
