Trea Turner extended his right leg and dropped to his left hip just outside the batter’s box. The Dodgers second baseman casually reached out his left hand to touch home plate as he slid by, then rotated 180 degrees as he rose back onto his feet. Few have ever looked so smooth while sliding home to score than Turner did Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. It was fitting that the Dodgers accompanied the video of Turner’s slide with a reference to a K-pop group with some smooth moves of their own. I try to avoid tags, but that’s just how I’ve slid basically my whole life.”
