Craig and Keith both said they saw the 1st baseman's foot off the bag when he caught it. Makes you wonder what the replay official saw?

Going to the bottom of the 6th tied at 3.

Flores' called 3 strike was questionable per Craig and Keith.

Back to watching the game on TV now but I love their input because they aren't your typical homers.

Moffett gets the strikeout to end the 5th.

Moffett has some electric stuff but control has been an issue for him. I wasn't sure how much we would see of him this season. I like that this staff is clearly working on developing guys mid-season. Moffett did have 1 HBP today but avoided walks and he will always be capable of striking out a lot of batters.
