SANO!!!

[Don Walcott]

Boom!!

[TwinsCD]

Haters gonna hate....

 

NICE BOMB, BIG BOY!!

[nicksaviking]

Excellente! Kids finally go to bad at an opportune time!

[Riverbrian]

A first major league bat to remember. 

[USAFChief]

I doubt Wade can maintain this OBP.

[Don Walcott]

unfortunately, those were earned runs. They count the full 2.

My bad. Was watching, but not listening. And that’s ridiculous.

[nicksaviking]

Like what I’m seeing from this Wade guy.

We should trade Kepler for pitching.

Retracted.

[Don Walcott]

Nice hustle, Wade!

*plate appearance

 

I meant the actual bat.

 

It appeared to be Maple. 

[TwinsCD]

Sigh...why are we thinking of stealing with one of the best hitters in the league at the plate?

It's the same reason that the chicken crosses the road. 

[nicksaviking]

Sorry, I thought that was implied..

[MNT1996]

Sano has a 11.9 AB/HR. That's elite and why we should have patience with the guy. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Retracted

 

Lots of retractions and we still ain't out of the 2nd inning. 

 

If this keeps going... we will be forced to start the game thread over around the 6th inning. 

[MVP Nick Punto]

4 Sano plate appearances should change that.

Apparently not this game. I'm glad I didn't get to this post before Sano's at bat because I would have liked it.

Patience was long ago retracted. 

[amjgt]

Sano has a 11.9 AB/HR. That's elite and why we should have patience with the guy.

Also 2.2 AB/K

 

A HR against a middling AAA pitcher does change my opinion of him. But if it gets him out of his horrendous slump, good

[ScrapTheNickname]

White Sox announcers point out that Berrios has a bandaid on his throwing hand ring finger, which, they studiously point is, illegal. Wonder why Sox haven't called for its removal. (Recall: blister).

[MNT1996]

The 9 other HRs weren't against AAA pitchers.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!

[amjgt]

This ump has been on point with his strike zone.

[USAFChief]

Also 2.2 AB/K

concur.

 

As I said earlier, there cant be a better matchup for Sano. A soft tossing lefty who was in independent ball not long ago.

 

To his credit, he took advantage. Good on him!

[Don Walcott]

Also 2.2 AB/K

Yeah, he should take it easy on this pitcher. . . like the rest of the team is apparently doing.

[TwinsCD]

 

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!

 

 

BTW, Chief, your Sano HR call was what, 5 ABs late?  They need to get on your time, not their own!!
