interesting Stanton's in the cleanup hole today instead of Dugie. Wonder what the numbers are vs. Snell/ I agree. I just think Judge will get better pitches if Verdugo is after him. Stanton doesn't pose the same threat... |

There was an old album at my childhood home of famous sports recordings. I recall the short Gehrig speech specifically, but also the Knute Rockne "Win One For The Gipper" rallying cry, and Joe Louis knocking out Two-Ton Tony Galento. |

Soto takes a FB at the top at 96, 0-1
Slider misses low, 1-1
FB above middle at 96, Soto can't catch up, misses, 1-2
Bounces a sharp curve outside, 2-2
Fb up in the zone at 96, and Soto finally puts one in play against Snell!
Oh, wait, no he didn't!! Home runs are not considered to be balls in play in BABIP, are they?
Crushes a towering HR just over the high wall in deepest right center, 1-0 Yanks!!
