Aaaand just like that we're back in it. 

That's the good thing about playing the Orioles.

WTF, Marsh was safe and Maddon with no challenge?

[eligrba4ever]

2 outs at second base. Slaps forehead.

[Bronson]

Honestly I’m perfectly fine with what Adell did there. I like the hustle. If he stayed on the bag he probably would have been safe.

He wasn't safe.

[Angel Oracle]

Is their catcher supposed to have a good arm, to be able to throw out Marsh with a RHP in the mound?

He's thrown out 53% this year (limited sample size) and 36% for his career (26% is the league average).  32% in the minors.

Next year maybe try 1969?  It’s a nice round number.

Looking for futility, 1975 is always a good choice, except days when Nolan pitched.
