While home runs from Jose Bautista and Juan Rivera are to be expected, just take a look at the pitch location of Corey Patterson's home run below (courtesy of Brooks Baseball Pitch FX).
That kind of power is usually reserved for Jose Bautista, but this was credited to Corey Patterson who usually isn't known for his power stroke. I guess if you're sitting on the right pitch, anything is possible.
Ian, you forgot "Deep in the heart of Texas." You know, anywhere in the post.
ReplyDeleteThe wind was really carrying last night...I was so sure that the patterson ball was going to be caught but it kept on going
ReplyDeleteNav, it's a long 4-game series so I'm saving that one (along with "everything's bigger in texas") for the latter part of the week.
ReplyDeletebryfry, it really did seem like the wind picked up late in the game. I remember when Frasor came in, it looked especially windy because his jersey was blowing in the wind.
bjh, i love your blog titles. first viva las rosters moves, and now this. loves it!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess they messed with Texas eh? Eh? *groans*
ReplyDeleteHow tall is Corey?
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie!
ReplyDeleteBlueJaynator, I think I just heard a high hat after I read that one. Remember, 3 more games to play so lots of time to use the rest of the Texas cliches.
adacosta, Baseball Reference has him listed at 5'10", but by looking at that Pitch FX, he appears to be 7 feet. Regardless, that is crazy how he could reach a pitch that high in the zone and hit it for a home run.
