It being a judgment call makes sense. I think we were all so stoked about the catch (including the fielder who stood there holding the glove above his head for twenty seconds or so to prove that he had it) that no one paid much attention to rest of the play. We came back and scored again in the next inning on a couple of solid doubles so won despite the run scored by fiat.

Thanks for the explanation; I'm rediscovering my love of minor (or in this case, very minor) league ball and am realizing how much I've forgotten

In a lot of ways the lower levels are way more fun to watch. It's more human scaled and relatable.

The last minor league game I saw was with amych in Durham.

It really is a great way to see the game - parking's free, ticket is $7, you sit 20 feet from the edge of the field, the play moves quickly, and for one inning, the announcer lets a two year old give the names of the batters. It is just wonderful way to spend a summer evening.

Woke up this morning to news about Hayden's "adventure". Here's hoping for a swift recovery, right?

Much healing ~ma to Hayden. That sounds scary.

Mycroft is so cute! He has big paws!

Also much kitty~ma to sara and Mr. Kitty.

Oh dear, Hayden! Heal up quickly!

Connie - you have a live action Pepe Le Pieu in your backyard! That is excellent.

Hayden, good grief. 'ma for quick recovery

Yeah, I heard about it on fb, but poor you, Hayden! Heal up!

Hayden, that's terrible. Heal quickly!

BTW, according to the BBC, a 50 year old man in South Africa woke up in the morgue - where he scared the attendents who thought he was a ghost. His family had been unable to wake him and presumed him dead.

I don't know - seems like there was some laxness on the part of somebody. It sounds like they didn't call a doctor to make sure of the death. A sad thing to happen when you're just sleeping in.
