Really like the way home plate ump Paul Schrieber is handling this ninth inning.
Cabrera showed him ump in a called strike three, and Schreiber did nothing, even when Cabrera was in his face.
Then he lets Swisher and Chapman work out their little spat.
That's how you do it.

Very glad to see that from Chapman today. He needs the fear factor to play a role instead of just trying to throw it by people in the zone every time. Maybe not that far up, but definitely in.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Love Swish. Probably my favorite non-Red.
That might be due to my scarlet and gray glasses, however.
