From Last Night:

• A’s lose 4-3 to the Indians after umpires fail to correctly overturn a double that should have gone for a homerun in the 9th
• Vernon Wells homers as the Yanks beat the Rockies, but also plays third base! (?!)
• Twins and Red Sox play football at Fenway and the Twins win by a touchdown, 15-8, as Ortiz’s streak is snapped
• Felix outduels Burnett for a 2-1 win at PNC
• Kershaw gives up 1 ER in 7 innings, but doesn’t get the necessary offense to win

What I’m Watching Today:

• Bartolo Colon faces Scott Kazmir in what I can only assume is a game from 2005 (12p Eastern)
• Dickey and Price face off in a battle of underperforming reigning Cy’s (7p Eastern)
• Hamels and Corbin in the desert (930p Eastern)

The Big Question:

• How will the league handle the incorrect upheld double in Cleveland?

I’ve been pretty outspoken about the need for more replay in MLB, but the umpiring crew in Cleveland on Wednesday couldn’t even use the replay they have properly. It’s really hard to imagine what they saw that didn’t result in a homerun, and if they didn’t have the right angle to overturn the call, why didn’t they have that angle? But the more exciting news from Wednesday was Vernon Wells playing 3B for the Yankees. He had played 1592 games in his career entering the day and none of them had been anywhere but the outfield or designated hitter. That ended as he played 3B in the 9th inning Wednesday. I don’t have the resources to look this up at the moment, but I’m very interested in players who play only one inning at a position in their career like Wells did tonight that was clearly out of strange necessity. Who remembers when Pudge Rodriguez played 2 innings at 2B back in 2006?! He caught a popup in his only chance.
