Brock Beauchamp Site Manager Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Consider your options carefully.
Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 My pitches move like (slower) knuckleballs, so eh, maybe. Are the bases loaded? I feel like than my odds go up.

USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Need more info...are there important runs waiting to be driven in?

Original_JB Verified Member Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 I'm a 56 year old leftie with a ton of movement on my curve (orange juice for grip). So, can I throw a high (out of the zone) 4 seamer followed by a bunch of benders in the dirt off the plate? Why yes, yes I can.
Tibs Verified Member Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 No but we could have won state if coach would have put me in the game

Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 I played 4 years of d3 baseball as an average knuckleball specialist. The hardest part would be getting him to two strikes, but I think I’d have a shot
Number3 Verified Member Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 You worded the question wrong. The thread should be "If you were pitching, would Sano strike himself out?" Maybe he should hit against The Turtle and resolve this once and for all.

wsnydes Old-Timey Member Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 I'm amused by the lack of a definitive "No" answer. Clearly, that's the wrong answer anyway. At this point, I think it's a definite possibility that Sano strikes himself out soft tossing to himself.
Number3 Verified Member Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 It really does make you wonder what his mind set is when he steps into the batters' box and what, if any, help he gets and/or what kind of practice he undertakes. It seems that he has the basic see ball hit ball approach and whatever happens happens.
Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 not sure where else to put this, but I asked Steve Adams (Twins' fan and MLBTraderumors guy) what they should do with Sano ......
Thebigalguy Verified Member Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Depends on which Sano stands at the plate. The one who swings at anything low and outside? Yes, I could get him.
wavedog Verified Member Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Put me in for a maybe ? - I am a soft tossing lefty and I would not throw him a strike so it would depend on who is umpiring and how swingy he is. Umps seem to like calling strikes on balls outside the strike zone to him. Also seems Sano is having a little more trouble hitting lefties this year. I would only pitch to him behind a batting practice screen though because if he got hold of one up the middle I'd probably be killed - lol!
LVTwinsfan Verified Member Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Haha, what’s really funny is the posters who actually believe they could do it
