This game was decided on Josh Willingham’s eighth inning homer off Bryan Shaw after the Indians had slowly clawed back from a 3-1 deficit. One thing to note on the scoresheet is the note on top of a challenge. If you follow the boxed C you will see that it occurred during Chris Colabello’s second inning PA. The note means that on pitch A (which would become just an ordinary foul), what had been a triple down the left field line was overturned. In the early days of replay I felt compelled to note every review and what the original call/call sought by the challenging team was. It’s exhausting and clutters the sheet – now I try to exercise patience when a call appears close, only writing down the final outcome and only noting the situation if it is crucial to the outcome of the game or otherwise interesting.
