Twins are suddenly having a “Who can hit the ball farther” contest 

[LaBombo]

Josh Donaldson sighting!

Did Alcala switch teams and put on a Cisnero uniform?

Hope Larnach can voice his opinion on that theme....

heh ... reminds me of that song ... 'Big John'

When I hear 'Big Mike' I think of the movie 'Blind Side', the story of Mike Oher.

I'm betting Sano joins the party.  Pressure is reduced and he actually layed off a low and outside pitch.

Nice to see him take a walk!

Looks like we have a future Hall of Famer playing center field for us tonight!

Rough night on the bases....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cave!

 

And Sano... remembering how to run bases again.

Sano is not a smart baserunner

And then make the third out at third base. SMH. 

[LVTwinsfan]

He’s not fast either

[MMMordabito]

What the Sano is going on here?

I don't know. Is he really the next Granite?

[LaBombo]

It looked like Sano was trying to slide just enough avoid getting crap for not sliding.

I am impressed.

He is managing expectations.

Reminds me of Rosario.

Sano is 25 lbs from being a fast base runner.

Maybe he was going on a suspect arm in CF, I don't know the scouting reports - but if you go for it with 2 outs, you'd damn well better make it.

Right into a tag at third.  I guess there was a little crouch at the end.  But seeing him get on base was nice.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

They're using up a cache of 2019 balls?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Sano could teach a class on making the third out on the bases

And another 15 from being an ex-major leaguer? Or maybe it's already too late?

[RpR]

Regardless of who wins, I enjoy watch the Twins play the Tigers.

What is the AAA version of a Master Class?

I'd say that he's more like 25 horsepower away from being a fast base runner, but let's start with the 25 lb. and see where that puts him.

He's the next Darin Mastroianni!
