Judge's statcast HR looks like Wargames. Bombs dropping everywhere.

Keith getting hits off a LH pitcher....color me impressed!

Ten-pitch popup of Judge by Holton.

Tork Trip!

[IdahoBert]

Tork got excited. And he just can’t hide it. 

[holygoat]

Damn. Torks gotta learn to slide better.

[IdahoBert]

Driveway’s and ballpark starting to synchronize weather wise. 

[Sports_Freak]

Skubal tomorrow. Tigers defining "spoilers."

yeah - that one was counter intuitive, you normally slide to the outside of HP because the throw is coming from the field, but Tork should have slid to the inside since the throw was coming from behind HP. On the inside his left hand would have been in. Live and learn.

Had no idea Tork got called back up until checking the box score.  It sure would be nice if he finished this year like he did last year.

Alex Avila explained that he did slide to the inside, but his hand seemed to not extend because his batting glove got stuck in the dirt, so then he reached to the outside.  It was a weird slide, but it looked that way to me too.

Zach McKinstry doubles (11) on a sharp line drive to center fielder Aaron Judge. He wants to stay here.

Is this bad luck or is this aggressive base running by guys who shouldn’t be aggressively running bases?

Yup. This is how you let a team like the Yanks ruin your day.

Actually I wrote it backward. He had his RH batting glove in his left hand and he had his right hand extended which missed the plate to the outside. The left hand (the side toward the diamond) got folded under his body. So the was actually too far outside to get the plate with his right hand. So he's safe either if he leads with his left hand or if he slides inside enough to touch with his right.

[IdahoBert]

Nice outing by Holton!
