Are the Twinkies out of challenges? That's where you would use it, wouldn't you? It was close enough that you never know.

past the 7th inning, umpire discretion.

Max has made some really  nice throws himself.

Agreed, but he could improve his form. Kepler doesn't use his back and torso enough. He needs to turn his back more, tilt his head, then use the bow action of his back to create a full-body whip action. The best I ever saw at that was Dave Parker of the Pirates. He would literally throw himself off his feet and finish with a shoulder roll on a throw to home. The ball came out of his hand even harder than Michael Cuddyer's.

Best I ever saw was Clemente :-)

Actually, Eaton's form on his throw was terrible.  He caught that ball flat footed, and took two crow hops before throwing.  He got the out because it was way too short of a fly ball to advance on, and because Grossman isn't all that fast.
