Funny.  I've seen pujols hit some shots like that.  Funny for a Dominican born player who was like the 340th player drafted while starting in the heart of the roid era.  Just food for thought. 

Albert may or may not of been who knows. Surely coulda been. I've never seen Albert hit one like judge tho where you thought ball may never land.

You guys think trout has a green light to steal or no way for now.

Not 6-0

Sale joins Nolan, Randy and Pedro as the only pitchers to strike out 200 hitters in fewer than 20 starts during a single season.

Frank Howard never played in most of the existing ballparks. He hit one 560 on the fly in old Forbes Field and another 500-plus in RFK. He was one of four to hit it out of Tiger Stadium to left. He slammed a line drive off the 395 sign in Fenway that rebounded 100 feet to Reggie Smith so quickly he barely had time to reach first base.

Babe Ruth hit his final home run over the 86-foot-high right field roof at Forbes, the first time that was ever done. He was 40 years old.

The one he hit in the playoffs against the Astros in Houston and in extra innings, that was a SHOT.  

[Jwhitt33]

You can put it on the boarrrd yessss

I don't like looking at players in a negative light.  That being said I'm a bit skeptical of Judge.  Only because he isn't that young (25) and he didn't have huge home run numbers in the minors, something like 18 or 19.  I really hope it is natural. 

[eligrba4ever]

Yay! Machete!! No shutout for Boston tonight.

[fan_since79]

Haha, kid made his ML debut yesterday. He's no Chris Sale.

[eligrba4ever]

Way to hang in there, Cliff. 10 pitch at-batm before the ground out.

He was trash last season when they brought him up for maybe 3 months. Swung at everything struck out at alarming rate.

Well that happens all the time, where a guy struggles his first trip to the majors.

I'm just saying you and I both watched ball long time I'm assuming and only time seen shit like this was McGwire Sosa and bonds at 41 hitting the ocean every at bat. You may be older and seen more but I've never seen it other than few that got caught.

[Troll Daddy]

Yup luck

Ok see you tomorrow. When eligrba4ever quits posting I know this game is long over.

Lol take care buddy.

I guess Cam deserves a pat on the back. He got three outs. Kept the losing margin to 5.  Not exactly a pressure situation.

I didn't realize that we are ranked 29th in total bases in MLB. Just ahead of the Padres.

That's what usually occurs when most of the lineup bats under .240.

Actually, they're dead last in total bases per game. The Angels have played 2 more games than the Padres.

That's why I think it's laughable when people are still checking the wild card standings.
