Good evening, sir. Although I can get the game on local TV, we have a three-and-a-half-year-old grandson for a sleepover tonight, so “Blippi” gets preference over baseball. Grandparenting 101.
I switched over to see the replays of Brantley’s “hit.” Why was he not called out when the pitcher finally touched the base? The runner missed it. I’m uncertain, but is the rule that they have to go tag him after he is past the base? That would make no sense. A guy could intentionally miss the base and take off down the right field line to drag things out! Oh, well, it benefited Houston, so I shall not complain. Besides, I like Brantley. He’s the real deal.
I will check in on your reports from time to time, as the grandson allows.
The Rev. Ron Semro, em.(that’s Latin for emeritus = retired).
