    LOL OB & Eck are still grousing bout the play on Vaz last weekend. :-)

    Give it up, guys.

    And who spells "Chris" with a "Kh"?

    I know ... Mr & Mrs Davis, apparently.

    Ok, that's 62 pitches in 3 innings, a lot, and ERod is headed toward 5 innings, but I like what he is doing now--hitting spots, mixing his pitches, and avoiding fat fastballs down the middle. He did that last time too and went 6.

    Over on mlb tv they are asking Kluber about the clubhouse atmosphere, which is a really nasty, low question when the poor Indians are on a 19 game hitting strike. this is sports journalism at its grittiest. But Kluber handled well and said he didn't know because, you know, all clubhouses are the same whether you are winning or losing.

    It drives my wife nuts when they interview players or managers during the game. She thinks it's the stupidest thing. She's right.

    Baseball is slow in general, but this game is extra slow.

    I agree. I think he was safe, but I'm satisfied the play was close enough that calling out was not a blunder. Besides, I'm anti-technology.

    Yankees tied 1-1 after five, and we are in the middle of the 4th.

    I think he was safe too, and I'm pro-technology (to a point). That's why it irks me so when the umps blow a call that to me was fairly obvious. I still believe that the replay system would be improved if the umpires were to be miked like in football so they could explain why they made the call they did. One of the most frustrating things about that call was that we as fans were left wondering if they saw Vaz as being out, or did they feel they didn't have the evidence to overturn the original call.

    Boy is she right. I could almost live with those things except they insist on putting them on camera as it to say, "I hope you didn't tune in to watch baseball players, the crowd, etc."

    That play blows my mind. I mean if you question that one, you kind of have to question every sliding play there ever was at the plate. Can we really know that every slide wasn't a fraction of an inch above the plate?
    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed up to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine
