Orioles notebook: Buck Showalter still flummoxed by unreviewable call Saturday

Orioles manager Buck Showalter continued to express frustration Sunday about the nuances of baseball's video-replay system a day after he wasn’t allowed to challenge a pivotal call in the sixth inning of a 6-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

After center fielder Adam Jones's bunt attempt on the first pitch of the inning Saturday, the ball hit his hand, then his right leg, and bounced in front of the mound. Pitcher Madison Bumgarner fielded the ball and threw to first, where Jones was called out.

Showalter asked crew chief Jeff Kellogg for a review, which would have shown that the ball hit Jones in the batter's box, which would have made it a dead ball.
