I guess not anything indisputable on video... but he was out and he knew it. That's why he reacted the way he did on the way to the dugout.

They're all acting like they thought he was out.

You ever slid into home like that after hauling ass. Ain't as easy as it looks not to pop a wheelie and you can wreck your ankle if you come in too low.

I also can't hit a 99 mph fastball. These are pros, not fat middle aged dads sitting on the couch. Didn't say it was easy.

I've never been a huge fan of sliding feet first to home. You don't have to pop-up or anything, and you lose so much dexterity in avoiding tags by going feet first.

Fair enough. My point is that sliding feet first into home is difficult, even for a pro.

Headfirst is better IMO, but also risky.

Straw still with more RBI than Brantley (and only one less than Altuve). Baseball is weird.

Yeah. Head first into a base defended by a fully protected catcher is dangerous. He slides way inside feet first and touches home with his hand he's safe easily.

This slide is patented by Altuve I believe

Do you think the official scorer just copy/pastes "Davis struck out swinging" every time he comes up?

Love having Enoli back and pitching well. Stuff looked great as usual.

Nothing like a 4-game set with the Rangers to get momentum going seriously in the right direction.
