I disagree about Kendall. He didn't "flop". He absolutely initiated the contact, but it wasn't like he brushed into the catcher. They ran straight into each other.
Can you argue that the catcher was out of the base path? It was close, and I wouldn't have been upset if he got called out. Jeren made the umpire make a decision. It was a close one, and it was risky, but it was still a heads-up play to recognize that the catcher had not cleared out and was at least close. Just like a fastball on the edge of the plate, you make the umpire do his job. This time, it went our way. I hope he (and Carson justifiably staring down the umpire 4 or 5 times) didn't burn up any goodwill with the umpires that we have.

So it looks like Jay starts today for Illinois as they are desperate to extend their season. The key will be the top of the 1st. Phillip can't have one of his slow starts where he struggles to find his command early and is down 2-0.
