He hit it 440 feet!

4 pitch walk....

Gameday is freaking out again.  Miguel Cabrera just got out on the second pitch of his 4 pitch walk.

 

Anyone got measurements on Sano's HR?

Hard to estimate because from what I gather, the ball has yet to return to Earth.

 

He hit it 440 feet!

Wasn't going to be outdone by Keplers bomb.

 

4 pitch walk....

I thought we didn't have to throw those anymore. Way to keep it old school, Hughsie. 

 

 It is basically a long sprint that sucks everything out of you.  The last leg is not the most fun time on the track.

 

Yeah, my track coach just would not listen when I would tell him that the 400 was not a sprint and you had to pace yourself.

 

I didn't like events that took me more than 15 seconds to complete.

 

How about decibels? anyone know how loud that mother was?

 

Green Day in concert loud, so not all the loud, but close.

 

I had a feeling the Twins were going to lose this one when they were down 2-0... but now they're up 10-2!! 

 

Sano looks legit - maybe this is the year he hits 30-40 HRs!

Me too. I had to go to a meeting at work when the Twins were down 2-0 and I was discouraged & expecting the Tigers to be getting the brooms out!.Imagine my surprise to return to my desk & open GameDay to see a 6-2 Twins lead! I tuned back in to the radio broadcast just after Buxton's bunt single. It was fun to hear the Twins put up a 5-spot in the 6th.

lots of game left fellas...

Glad Hughsie has a cusion...

If we blow this we should be relegated to AAA....

Hughes is at 96 pitches, and clearly tiring--is there a reason we're not using our 8 man bullpen?

You've seen this team these last half dozen years, no?

Found the video on Twitter.... Let's see if this works. 

Ugh. Can't figure out how to post videos from Twitter.

I'm of the opinion Buxton should bunt more often if the defense is giving him first base.

I don't care if Buxton has a .500 or .900 OPS. If you can get on base, do it.

Because, as we just saw, Buxton should be able to take second almost at will.

Wasn't a knock on the drag. 

 

It was an observation that its depressing that a bunt single is the only positive he has had at the plate this week.

Never should have gone out after that long inning. but, hey, they will win, so no one will remember this bad decision.

At that point, you get tunnel vision and you just tell yourself you're almost done
Kinda like watching the Vikings last year after the bye week

Take him out!

We will need a tow truck?

 

I personally would rather get out a donut.

 

 but, hey, they will win, 

Shocked that you can make that statement with confidence...

Ah, yes, that's fair.

7 runs? no problem.

 

Even if Dan San was in teh OF I'd feel good about that lead. 

Holy moly, Gladden will not shut up about putting the ball on the ground.

You can't have too much tunnel vision though. You need to watch your step or you'll slip in your own vomit when you hit the 300 meter mark.

 

Holy moly, Gladden will not shut up about putting the ball on the ground.

 

As in it's a good thing?

The Detroit TV guys said 448, I think.  They also said you know it's a long shot when the centerfielder turns around to watch it go.
