Judge could earn the nickname “Santana’s Legs”… 🤓 |

Wells has to be about 3 hits away from even getting near the entrance ramp to the interstate. He’s at a rest stop far, far away…

I live in an area that has mostly Deer, Bear and squirrels!  Perfect. We’ve had elk within a couple miles of the house, so despite not having many trees (mostly sage brush) we know carnivores follow the food. Coyotes around often, bobcats, and probably some young cougars passing through while looking for their own territory. They tend to move back toward the mountains after a whole, but we have those within about twenty miles east and 30-35 miles west. Plenty of them, and wetlands are within 20 miles so besides local streams and ponds there is some water about. The mountains give us a high water table despite only 12-13” of rain per year. Even the Great Sand Dunes have a seasonal white water creek running through the park, south of the dunes… Burger King? |

Adams a slider heavy righty.
Throws it about 85% of the time at about 88. Other pitch is a 94-5 FB
Slider outside, 2-1
Backdoor slider, 2-2
Fouls off a back door slider
Slider down and in, 3-2
Slider back leg, Wells reads it right, ball 4. Good job, Wells. Leadoff BB, 1st baserunner since the 2nd.

Slider outside to Volpe, 1-0
Loses the grip on the slider inside, it backs up and grazes Volpe, HBP, 1st and 2nd, nobody out for Soto.

Soto has never faced Adams. None of them have faced him except Trevino.

Burger King, McDonalds, hotels, Chili’s… Two Colleges… |

Big breaking slider nips the very top of the zone, 0-1.
Soto not getting Soto-calls tonight
Swings through a slider above middle, 0-2.
Ah there's the Soto-call, big breaking slider hits the inside corner, not called. 1-2
Slider in ties him up, he spoils it.
I think he got the call on the 0-2 because Langeliers had to reach for it.
Big breaking slider near hits him, he Jackknifes out of the way, 2-2.

That slide broke sharp right into the middle of the zone, and as he has all that at bat, he got on top of it, rolled it over to Gelof, who starts an easy 4-6-3 DP. Wells to 3rd with 2 down
Slider outside to Judge, 1-0

Slider low, 2-0
Slider backs up inside again, his Judge on the elbow pad on the front arm, 2nd HBP. 1st and 3rd, two down for Stanton
Stanton shouldn't be able to hit this guy's ridiculous slider

Slider away, weakish hack, 0-1
Slider well outside, chased, 0-2
No chance unless he makes a big mistake.
Slider stays high, 1-2
