      It certainly wasn't a cheap homer by any standards.

      Not to mention he is pitching a gem.

        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.

          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!

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

              Funny you mention that. I played in the same league as C.C. in high school and in 98 (he was at Vallejo, I at Fairfield). He hit two of the farthest bombs I've ever seen off of our ace.

              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.

                It probably just increases his trade value to NL teams...Like the brewers...

                        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.

                          I wanted to make a non-rational plea.

                          Stop bringing reasoning into this!
