Is it just me or is there a real bias in favor of the Red Sox and Yankees on calls by umps? I mean there was daylight between the glove and the ball when Jones reached the bag. The only way the ump can make that call is if he's already decided that he's calling the runner out before the play actually happens. He saw what he expected to see.

Not only were we robbed of at least a run right there, but we finally had Cook throwing some pitches that inning. Now, he is spared of throwing more than he did (he had thrown 11 that inning when Adam was jobbed by the call.)

    • My “comfort index” is currently: Extremely High -none- High Coulombe Webb Cano Perez Medium Kimbrel Akin Low Baumann Need More Info Suarez If Kimbrel is healthy, I might have more comfort. If Suarez makes a successful conversion and Wells gets healthy and moves to pen, we could actually have a really good pen. Irvin could contribute as well if Grayson returns and takes his spot in the rotation. We need a strong pen in the playoffs. 
    • Pretty incredible Bradish threw today. Maybe his tear wasn’t too bad. Either way, hope he stays healthy. We’re a World Series contender if we have Burnes, Brad, and Rod in October
    • Funny how Mullins’ and Cowser’s numbers go down when we play them versus LHP. That’s gonna happen. They should be platooning with Hays/Mckenna. 
    • He gave up a couple seeing eye singles, but also allowed the first home run of his professional career, a two-run shot. Then went back to striking guys out and getting ground balls. Hit 96 MPH and had a real nice change going at time. He was taken out after 67 pitches (70 seems like the Low-A pitch count so far), striking out 10 and left a runner on 1st that didn't score. I'd really like to see them extend his pitch count some and challenge him against High-A ball hitters.
    • He looks like he’s coming into his own and starting to live up to the hype.  He will be a test, for sure. 
    • How would making him a reliever help if he is giving it up in the first?
    • If Cowser keeps it up, his name won't be in the lineup much anyway and it will be back to Hays most likely. Since April 15th he's 8-47 with 1 XBH and 24Ks to 6BB. People complaining about Cedric should chill out. I was hoping for a .780 range OPS and now that's looking like I might have gone too high.
