VIDEO: Gleyber Torres Drills Solo Home Run Minutes After Controversial Edwin Encarnacion Review
By Adam Weinrib
Gleyber Torres is 22, and he's among the best young hitters in the game of baseball. Usually, a Gleyber dinger at home in the ALCS would be a source of pride for Yankee fans. In this instance, however, it only brought more consternation. Gleyber rocked this one oppo to cut the lead by a bit...but it could've been a bit better.
Unfortunately, the shot came seconds after Edwin Encarnacion was taken off the basepaths, initially ruled safe on a dribbler before the call center deemed Yuli Gurriel's glove tapped him...somewhere?
Could be the helmet, could be the glove strings, could be absolutely nowhere.
Calls are supposed to only be overturned if they're definitive in the opposite direction. This one, eternally muddy, may have changed this doomed game.
