LOL... Yup... Right up the Deleware Bay and River and over the wall. The prediction is based on... Grooves... Players get into grooves and for the moment his swing un-slapped for some reason... He sent one deep and Chances are... he could still be in that place with his swing and therefore another will follow. Eventually... His swing will go back to Ben like but I believe this is why Power can come in bunches and leave in bunches. Ben hit 28 home runs in high school. I still theorize that the Twins wouldn't have drafted him in the first round if he wasn't knocking the ball around and out of the park in Kentucky. There are a lot of fast guys with no arm they can take in the 8th round. There just has to be some pop somewhere. I also assume that Ben was probably encouraged (even taught) to be more of a slap guy to utilize his speed in the minors. I don't think he's a ten homer guy but... The occasional deep ball and more doubles in the gap isn't out of the question for future Ben. For this week... I'm thinking another one.

Compared to last year... I've been much more entertained. It got pretty frustrating last year watching the team lay down and I think they layed down in 2013. Station to station baserunning... Average effort pursuit of baseballs. I really felt nobody was getting their money's worth. This year... It's been better... I'm seeing Plouffe get dirty... Dozier of course being a gamer... I'm seeing Mauer effort at first. I'm seeing some clutch hits... More contact and putting the ball in play. It ain't perfect yet... We still have OF defensive issues... And the base running is still more careful then I personally like... But it's getting better. In 2013... I didn't think they gave full value for the price of a ticket. So far in 2014... I'd say they are exactly the value of a price of a ticket. Ummm Upper Deck Ticket. -
I predict... He will hit another one within a week.

And here's another one

Yeah... That sure looked out of the baseline. It would have been funnier if Nunez would have kept running ran and hid behind the tarp.
-
Yep... And throw Pinto in there as well because he hasn't played since January. Those four should play tomorrow... Nunez... Arcia... Santana and Pinto... The other 8... On the bench!!!
-
It will look like a walk off line drive in the paper.
-
Nunez looked like Chuck Foreman
-
I love funny base running.
-
Just doesn't make you dance.
-
Yeah!!! Him to. The other 10... On the bench.
-
Nice... Ok... I don't care if its one at bat. Play Nunez tomorrow.
-
Uff Da... A foot from a tie game.
-
It was hard hit... Only pure speed would have reached it... Santana did not look good on the ball but he could have looked great and still not made the catch. It was stroked.
-
Matt Kemp is in the dog house... I wonder what he did?
-
It's ok... We had a side discussion and determined that it was Hughes's fault.
-
I was imagining a goat with stone walkways... A fountain of someone peeing. Maybe some shrubs... Or maybe just a simple goat topiary will suffice.
-
If the Rangers are not going to walk us... We may need a few more hits.
-
I love it when Dick says Flanominull. I use it all the time when something makes me happy.
-
I just figured it out... Darkness is coming. It'll. be here soon. I gotta run down the street yelling that out. To warn the neighbors. Darkness is coming!!! darkness is Coming!!! Get inside!!! Darkness is Coming. Would wearing pants be recommend?
-
Dude... Do ya need a hug... I'm sure LaBombo or Snepp or someone has a GIF for that.
-
It was the ol' miscommunication play that they work on in spring training. I've seen it many times. The rule is actually... The OF gets it... if he can get it and the infielder steps aside. Most likely...Parm didn't call him off or he whispered it until it was too late. I'd score it E7.
-
Why is it Dark at Target Field and still light out in Grand Forks?
-
Ahh... You knew the answer... It was rhetorical. I fell right into your trap.
