Kyyle23 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 An extremely high cheap home run. And every other homer has been crushed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconOnAStick Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Good thing Abreu didn't choose Colorado or else everything he does would be discounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 And he hardly mentions it was the TWELFTH pitch of the f***ing at bat. That is one of the better at bats you'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the better at bats you'll see. And if you watch the video, he was actually fooled by the pitch and paused mid-leg kick to time it.

Quin Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Gosh that homerun so awful. UGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Dumb article. Not that the writer is wrong, and it was a cheap HR (if distance is your only parameter), but who really cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 What other player hits that pitch over the fence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that was by far the most impressive part. The pitch was down and in. If players make contact, they hit it off of their foot, not 353 feet.

Eminor3rd Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Apparently none of you actually read the article. Sullivan has been writing nothing but positive Abreu articles for the past few weeks. He's been most of the national coverage, lol. He was just pointing out that it was interesting that the homer was such a cheapie. Let's not act like fanboys, guys. We don't have to get mad at every word about Abreu that doesn't call him a god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. If nothing else, it's justice or karma or whatever. In the opening series against the Twins, he absolutely murdered a ball to CF that was brought back in because of humid and cold air that only went about 380 feet. In June or July, it clears the CF wall easily. It's OK to have cheap home runs. Cheap ones count just the same as balls that are destroyed.
