I was wrong - it ended up being a fine line between Ump and Chump
too close to take but dang if it wasn’t in the same spot as the previous pitch.

why PH for Cedeno? with the tying run on 1st and 2 outs, you need contact or god willing an XBH… can’t Cedeno do that?

The CC sweepstakes may begin now after losing the series to the Sox. CC is pitching tomorrow in the final game against the Sox. IF the Indians are inclined to trade CC I don’t think a win tomorrow changes that. In fact it may be in their interest to have CC pitch well tomorrow and win.

Bench Strength
Logically it should improve once Soriano, ARam, and Johnson return to the fold, but still it might be worth pursuing a couple more solid bats to solidify the bench and spell the regulars twice a week. Guys like Frank Catalanatto and Brad Hawpe come to mind.
