Let’s cut to the chase. After Jason Hammel overcame various fielding faux pas, the O’s entered the bottom of the 7th holding a 3-1 lead. The leadoff batter walked. The next batter struck out on a 3-2 pitch as Wieters threw a perfect strike to Andino to throw out out the runner trying to steal 2nd. 2 outs no one on. Wait a minute, Robert Andino dropped the ball. Jim Palmer went nuts as did any Oriole fan suffering through this latest malaise. That was that. What I find strange is that in the post game report Dempsey and Jim Hunter failed to mention the play. Why? Andino went 0-4 committed an error and for some reason was not charged an error on the dropped throw. In all my years of following the O’s I have never seen such a poor fielding team. Thome was 1-3 with a walk.
