Kluber said a "a callus ripped a little bit" on a finger. Wouldn't say which one, but noted that he couldn't "spin it" as well as usual.

.

Francona also said Kluber developed blisters tonight due to humidity.

So keep in mind. Just before being taken out Kluber retired 10 straight batters from a very good lineup while battling blisters and a torn callus..

I just love that guy. True pro.

I wish some of his guts and grit would rub off on a couple of our other starters. They get an ache or pain and they get shelled just before going on DL for a couple weeks.

I thought it was his fingernail he kept chewing on. It appeared to be the middle finger on the pitching hand.

I don't think that. They showed a dugout shot of him, Ramirez and someone else and he was having a blast.

Totally agree. Umps should set a precedent and not over-rule that kind of crap.

And when they showed the played from a different angle it didn't even look like the glove was on Lindor's leg at that fraction of a second he was off bag.

i hated that call all the way around.
