Anyone using MLBtv know why there's no MASN feed?

[BSLChrisStoner]

I hope the O's everyday lineup can stay relatively healthy. It is a pretty good group. League average offense last year, they'd have a chance to improve on that in '12.

Sorry Chris, don't know why that is.

[BSLChrisStoner]

See if Reimold can follow-up last night with another big game.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Reimold grounds out to Escobar. Escobar has a great arm. 1 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Hardy singles into left. Good to see.

[Chris B]

Sorry Chris, don't know why that is.

Not a problem. Just glad that I have the game because I was worried if it would be blacked out because of FOX.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Alvarez walks Markakis on 4 pitches. Runners 1st and 2nd, with 1 out.

Scratch that. Only audio now.

[BSLChrisStoner]

2-2 count to Jones. Let's get some early runs.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Jones is plunked to load the bases.

[BSLChrisStoner]

O's get a run, when Jones takes out a possible double-play, with a hard slide into 2nd.

Hardy scores, Markakis to 3rd, Wieters at 1st.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Betemit robbed on a diving snare from Lind. This should have been an RBI for Wilson.

Going to the bottom of the 1st, 1-0 Birds.

[Chris B]

Heads-up baserunning by Jones that inning. Alvarez with 23 pitches that inning.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Hammel misses badly on his first 3 pitches to Escobar.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Escobar drives deep to RF, Markakis runs it down going towards Center and the wall. 1 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Johnson goes opposite field for another HR. Game tied at 1.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Bautista rips a liner over Hardy into left.

Everything from Hammel appears up.
