Carp making a leaping run saving catch to preserve the lead was not on my bingo card.

Not trying to take anything away from Carp because it was a great catch for him. I’m just saying a good fielder would have tracked the ball a little better and not have to fully extend to catch the ball.

I was going to ask whether Carp played that an angle on purpose instead of getting right under it for a straight jump up.

Tork gave the horn’s hand Satan salute when he hit that home run. Maybe it means something else in baseball.  

His college mascot was the Sun Devils, so it might be related to that.

I was thinking the same thing when I watched the replay - he underestimated the fade toward the line. But on other hand, it may have been a little easier to get the elevation off a run than if he was there and had to jump more flat footed, so it all worked in the end!

If he was straight under it he wouldn't have needed to jump at all.
