In practically any other park that's a HR.

Not to take away from an awesome performance from our guys, but the wind has gotta be blowing hard. These balls are absolutely sailing.

Not for the Twins

People were oohing and aahing about De La Cruz hitting one 455, like it was the longest HR ever recorded.

I did enjoy his steal of home yesterday.

Don't know about wind blowing out, but the ball does seem to be carrying well.

Warm sunny days can do that.

I was less impressed with the pitcher standing there staring into the OF like he didn't know who was on base.

How would you like to get hitting advice from Paul Molitor, Tony Oliva, and Rod Carew?

He stole 2nd, 3rd, and Home in the span of 2 pitches.  That's Ty Cobb esque.

Yanks now down 2.

He is fun to watch. That whole team is.

I dunno, they say those who can't do teach. Maybe the greats aren't really good at teaching, because being a great hitter just came naturally for them.

The lineup just has another gear when Cowser and Westburg are at the bottom and not Mateo and Mckenna (or whoever).

Seems like that 14-1 win in the Bronx made these guys think they're pretty good hitters.
