Mancini singles up the middle. 

He seems to be swinging the bat better.

Pedro with a single off the wall in right.

The Orioles at times seerm totally unwilling to accept ball 4, but in this case it pays off, as Severino singles off the RF wall.

Mountcastle robbed on his bloop to right.

Frazier robs Mountcastle with a diving catch, but Pedro gets back just in time.

Stewart flies out.

Orioles done in the 4th, still leading 1-0.

[BSLChrisStoner]

The pitch was right down the middle... called ball 4... should have been a k, and a throw out. Instead there are 2 on, and none out. Horrible.

Stanton drops one in... bases loaded.  Stewart doesn't come up cleanly, but doesn't hurt.

First time this year I'll make my robo ump plea.

Stewart muffs a single but fortunately no advancement.  Bases loaded no outs.

Pop out to right. 1 down.

DJ is not going to win a GG anytime soon.

I think we're getting closer and closer.  It's not balls and strikes that are getting the headlines so far, but lots of blown calls being talked about.  I don't know if most broadcasts include the strike zone decal that MASN and ESPN and MLB include, but the more common that becomes, the more people will start thinking of it as the truth box.  Going from umps to cameras making the calls seems like much less of a jump if all you're doing is correctly identifying them as in the box or not.

Swinging... 2 out.

[Mackus]

Strikeout, 2 down.  Can we escape???

It is really frustrating.  Sometimes when the catcher comes up throwing, he blocks the ump.  Not this time, the ump just kicked it.

[Mackus]

Nope

[BSLChrisStoner]

Odor. Of course.  2-1.

[Mike B]

Not bad.  Only 2 runs.

It would be nice if we could hit a little.
