2018 Twins Highlights: Longest Home Runs

Do you get more runs for longer home runs?  If not, who cares.

I remember watching the Cave and Austin home runs in particular.

While HR totals were obviously down this year, I find the average distance measurements to be very interesting. Would tell me Cave's and Garver's power shouldn't be denied, speaks to potential for 2019.

Man I miss Escobar and want him back!

Can we just fast forward through the holidays, the hot stove league, and just get to February again?

Neither reading, nor responding, are being forced upon you. It's perfectly OK to completely ignore a topic if it doesn't interest you, rather than attempting to drag everyone else down that it does.

It borders on trolling, which is frowned upon.

Not trolling I read the entire article like I do all the articles and as usual I enjoy reading them.  Sometimes I enjoy seeing what reactions a comment gets.  I am interested in how many homeruns and in what situations they are hit, but you are right, the distance does not interest me any more. 

As a fan of Harmon Killebrew when I was younger, I am a fan of long homeruns. The two upper deck shots at Metropolitan Stadium on consecutive days (522 feet and 469 feet) were things of beauty.

I’m not impressed by Sano anymore either. If you swing for the fences every at bat and don’t care that you strike out 35% of the time I’m sure you will run into one every now and again

Long home runs are fun, but meaningless. Remember Byung Ho or Kennys' epic blasts?  Where are THEY now?
