How can you tell that's a long swing (genuine question)?

His lead arm. Look at how it tenses and straightens up. It's actually caused by his wide stance, he can't swing any other way.


Either way, didn't mean to hijack this thread about MLB games. My bad.

Ahhh...I see what you mean.

Santangelo is at it already for the Natitudes. Zimmerman pops up an infield fly rule ball in the 10th and he calls it "a pretty good hack."

And it's only game 3.

Lol the remaining crowd in Houston has gone insane in the top of the 13th. They're all doing what sounds like the Ric Flair "whoo!" repeatedly.

Some of the Houston fans have been doing it again all game. It's gonna be pretty annoying watching any game of theirs if they keep this up.

Pirates fans have been doing it for years. One of the most annoying things imaginable.

HUZZAH!

BTW in watching the Jays game tonight i'm starting to appreciate Steve Pearce more and more. He hasn't gotten the results yet but it seems every game he's played in he's good for at least one good grind it out AB. I sure hope he can get some big hits soon. I want to cheer him on.

Morales just hit a Grand Slam. 4-0 Jays.

And almost nobody was there to see it......Seriously, just get this Rays stadium stuff resolved already. Second series of the season and it's already half empty.


But nice to see Morales with such a big home run. Not even playing at Rogers Centre yet and off to good start.

End of the day, 280129 homers.

Based on my incredibly inaccurate counting, Jonathan Villar hit #280,100.

Re: 4/2 - 4/16 Game Discussion Thread

Tebow looked like he was surprised he hit a ball that far by the way he ran the bases.

I've seen worse swings in professional baseball, but his is a bit rough. He does bar out by loading his hands away from his body rather than rowing his elbow back, but at least his hands try to move forward first rather than completely swinging from back there.

If Jason Heyward could swing like that, it'd be a vast improvement.

Nice to see Matt Kemp really hitting the ball well early on. Total X-Factor if the Braves want to not be losers.

Hey Beantown..... you can take Buchholz back any time now. He's picking it up right where he left off in ST. If he never got boo'd in Boston, it's only a matter of (short) time in Philly. We'll throw in Adam Morgan too. No reason to give up a HR to an opposing pitcher not named "Mad Bum"!

Re: 4/2 - 4/16 Game Discussion Thread

I'll be at the Phillies home opener today. Hoping for a good game from Vince Velasquez. Max Scherzer on the mound for the Gnats so definitely won't be many runs today.

Why Morgan isn't in AAA is beyond me.
