He completely changes this team. I think we're 1-4 w/o him in the lineup and 7-4 with him. If he stays healthy, he's the best player in baseball, I think.

While that ball was crushed, there was a pretty stiff breeze blowing out to left.  That ball definitely got up in it.  It was definitely a home run anyway though.

Regardless though, huge HRs by him today.  He changes this team for the better.  Just like the game winner, no doubt about it.

My favorite part may be Arrez's bat flip....don't remember another double-bat-flip HR.

Byron Buxton, OMG. He appears to have transitioned from mere mortal to some higher plane of existence, where swashbuckling sword fights and shooting holes in tossed coins is normal. The rest of the team just pats him on the back, slightly incredulous. Nick Gordon's expression from yesterday was right - This guy is cray-cray good. Even his teammates, guys that get to watch him from close up, can barely relate to the ease with which Buxton deals with batted balls and opposing pitchers. 

Here's a question for my fellow TD fans: How many of us, after Buxton's injury-hobbled first few years, wanted to trade him?

How about now?

As a fan of Buxton since 2013(ish).  Whenever they started airing Kernels games on FSN:

He timed it so they landed at the same time.

No one has ever questioned Byron Buxton's raw talent. The fact that he has honed that talent into more than just a solid Major League hitter is a testament to his dedication to improvement. The question still remains; can he stay in the lineup? The saying is ability depends on availability. Only time will tell but so far he absolutely has to be in the lineup.
