That was indeed an ugly mis-play. Davis Schneider had a better play on it coming in from LF, should have called off Barger. I think it was a learning experience for both players involved!

I knew there was a reason I like you.Stupid Jays.
(certified Yankee hater)
The Yankees have to be buried face down. That way, when they try to dig out from the hole, they just go deeper. On the other hand, if the Yankees beat the Jays, I'm pretty sure it gives the Mariners home field advantage if they get past the Tigers (big if - I'm a well trained Mariners fan). Also, the more those teams beat each other up, the less rested they will be going into the ALCS. All these things to think about and scheme over. Except that Miller is going for the Mariners tonight. He's not exactly an ace.
why is the pole called the "foul pole" and not the fair pole? Hitting it should mean it's foul not fair, right? lolI have to hand it to him, it was an impressive swing. 100 mph and inside, wasn't even a strike. Not many hitters can handle that. He sent it into orbitIf only it had pulled foul...
My youngest son, also a baseball nut, gave me a very nerdy but interesting book for Christmas last year on the history of the Rules of Baseball. Why 3 strikes? Why 4 balls? and so on. And they detailed just why, from antiquity, it is called the foul line and foul pole, when, in fact both are in fair territory. I guess I'm glad I know. But always a good one for discussion.
All that said, Judge did an amazing job turning on that ball and a) not breaking his bat and b) getting enough wood on it to carry to far . I'm glad I saw it live.

Tigers got some fight in them today! Cubs showing signs of life too.
I swear @Gaolee I sacrified the neighbors cat, it was the closest thing I had to a Tiger
Well, it worked. For the Tigers. Crap.
Cubs survive.
More baseball at Wrigley tomorrow.
Never easy.
