7/11/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ Colorado Rockies

Another brilliant move. Just walk Cargo and let Viz go after a lesser hitter. Who cares if you load bases. Avilan is pure yuck.
 
Careful research by Fredi has revealed to him that Avilan's reverse splits are a product of a flukey BABIP against him by lefties. His FIP against lefties is 2.56 as opposed to a FIP against righties of 4.08.
 
Very close play but I've not seen a definitive angle that would overturn the call.

If he's out, he's got nobody to blame but himself because he "hotdogged" it out of the batter's box.
