Then there's the Sano Swat...!

OMG, Plouffe beat that out.  Good thing it was that deep to the SS.

 

Well, maybe he beat it out.

 

Rangers not challenging.

Wow.  What a swing by Sano.  

 

From the Mel Brooks movie, Blazing Saddles. The entire cast of Brooks's movie busts through the sets of other movies, including a Busby Berkley dance number with Dom Deluise as director. The actors are doing a very fey dance number while singing, "...stick out your tush, hands on your hips, give 'em a push, that's how we're doing the French Mistake..." something like that.

 

Some batters do the "French Mistake" by shoving their butt away from the plate as they swing the bat. This is a very effective way of removing any significant power from your swing, leaving only your arms to propel the bat. Aaron Hicks was doing the French Mistake until he came back from his most recent demotion to AAA. Now he's doing the Cuban Kick and the Dominican Bat Wave, two far better dance moves at the plate. The results are what we are now seeing from Hicks.

 

Thank you for reminding me of that part of the movie.

 

I always enjoy it.

CBU:  4-0 Twins after 3.

 

Keep it going big Pelf and batters.

Riddle me this.

 

Today for supper I threw away the outside, cooked the inside, then ate the outside, and threw away the inside.

 

What did I have?

Corn on the cob or fish.  That would be my guess

Wow, quite the gun from Nunez...

Nice hitting from the youth. We just ate our last meal as a family in the house we raised the boys in. No one but me seems moved by that.

Keep it up, Pelf!!

Pelf handles prosperity, for now.

They should try taking this Mike Pelfrey on the road with them, he's a lot better than the one they have been.

Hicksie's just all over it tonight, love seeing it.

Those last two Hicks line drives are a good illustration. Before his new kick-wave, the ball would leave his bat probably 10 mph slower. Now it streaks into the outfield, no chance to field it.

OMFG

"Oh my."

HOLY ****!!!!!! SANO!!!!!!

What a blast!!!  MR. SANO.

 

Or make that SENOR SANO!!

Thank You for pitching to Sano with first base open and Plouffe up next. Sano!!!!!

ohshoothediditagain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

OMG OMG OMG, that ball flew like a freeekin' 3-wood!

Miguel Sanoibrew!

Wow

Patrick Reusse has said that he thinks Sano will be the first player to hit a ball over the third deck in left. He's only 22 years old. As Torii said about Mauer in his rookie year: just wait till he gets his man-muscles.

Sano>Beast!!

Holy crap. Miguel is my new mancrush.

Got anybody watching the Texas feed tonight? Curious about what they have to say about #22.

Everybody aboard the bandwagon. No charge. Get your tickets while they last. Going fast. Will be a round-trip ticket, everybody home by October 1st.

I shoulda chose more wisely.  I got Dickbert on.

One question that will be answered in 2015 is "who bats fourth?"

I hope they bring out another rightie. I want to see Hicks keep smashing the ball from the left side, he's sooooooo happy right now!
