Re: CC just hit a HR.
He used to be a great hitter, especially back in his high school days. I'm surprised that most pitchers aren't great hitters. When they're young, they are the coach's kid that's pitching and batting third. If they're not pitching, they're playing shortstop. They grow and still hit well because of their opportunities given and still pitch along the way. Then comes college and they probably stop hitting when they're pitching, but these guys look worse than 7 year old kids sometimes.
As for C.C., he's finally a pitcher that remembered how to hit.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: CC just hit a HR.
Video clip of Sabathia's homer:
I really liked the stat they showed of C.C. at the beginning... it said he has "Hit safely in 9 of last 10 games."
Better make that 10 out of last 11!Comment

He looks like he knows what he's doing - even threw the bat down and watched it for a second or two.Comment

The field as Vallejo was pretty much built for him, short porch in right and shallow in center, but the two balls he hit that day both would have been 420 plus. There was a tree about 40-50 feet beyond center and the ball hit halfway up the tree.
He was an athlete. Probably the smoothest player I can remember. Everything he did, whether it was hitting, pitching or just digging balls out at first was smooth and effortless.
I pitched against him later that year and walked him on 4 pitches.Comment

Re: CC just hit a HR.
Come on Cards...we Cleveland fans want that deal yesterday!
Also there has been a lot of talk around Cleveland how the Brewers have a ton of good position players in AA. I wouldn't be surprised if he was traded there...not at all.Too Old To Game Club
Urban Meyer is lol.Comment
