Get your eyes checked, old man! He was out. 

 

 

Ha ha!  I see like a hawk since my cataract surgery!

I'm just saying there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the decision on the field  

But I enjoyed your comment to me very much!

Go Tribe.

I’m with you BRF... 

For one, you can’t assume a tag to call an out. The umpire, as well as replay have to confirm a tag... and in this case, they have to see a tag when the hand comes off the base. I saw the tag when the hand was on the base... but Galvis did not hold the tag on and it was at best unclear if the   tag stayed on long enough. Safe!

In general, I think MLB does a pretty good job with replay.

I’m impressed with Carlos. He went the opposite way all 4 times at bat last night. He NEVER did that in his first stint with the Indians. It used to drive me nuts watching him hit into the extreme shift that teams would employ against him, when the entire left side of the infield was open. I never could understand how the Tribe coaching staff let him continue that way, being satisfied with his low BA as long as he hit the occasional dinger .

Im not sure whether to credit the Phillies, or the current hitting coach, or Carlos  himself for his more controlled swing. He’s cut down his high leg kick somewhat at the load part of his swing, and it seems to be paying big dividends. Hitting .275 with 30 HRs  instead of just .220 would be HUGE.

I’m okay with this start, but basically we have been playing teams that are in rebuilding mode.

Wow!  Some breathing room. 

4-0 T4

Trivia: Hammy reported that the walk off homer last night (April 5) was the earliest walk off homer in Tribe history.

More trivia:

Carrasco's 12 K's in 5 innings is a club record.

Damn right, cause if that’s safe, MLB needs to revamp its replay. Lol

Santana rbi. He’s locked in. And to opposite field again.

Tribe up 2-0 after one. Three hits with two outs. Bauers a double and Santana drove him home with a double and Naquin drove in Santana with a single.

Locked in he certainly is. Love it. 

I don't see how MLB could do that. You should be able to play anywhere in fair territory.
