It's also the reason why he's hitting .220 with a .295 obp and strikes out at one the highest rates in the league. He has terrible plate discipline, swings at everything and can't draw a walk to save his life... but yes, his power is insane
@@bartonpercival3216 ok. I couldn't really tell where it landed. I knew it didn't fully clear, but i thought it might have hit the roof. Doesn't really matter, as he's already one of 4 to hit one out of the stadium already lol
Man I wish I seen some of those angles more often (1:28 to 1:38), that ump cam was cool, so was the close up of the ball bouncing off that bat, also the ump was mic'd up
Great to see Buxton hit an homer, we don’t get to see how good he is nationally. Definitely took advantage of the moment. Should’ve known Stanton was going to hit the homer over Judge. All star game didn’t disappoint, best in all of sports.
This might be just me acting like a grumpy old man but it seriously annoyed me how many of those fans behind home plate are not even watching the game. Their eyes just glued down to their phones.
It’s called the phone generation, not their for the game but to be on your damn phone!! Just like a concert back in the 60’s,70’s, 80’s,90’s, 2000’s when you could have a lighter at a concert but couldn’t videotape a performance on stage. Nowadays you can’t have a lighter but you have phones all over the damn place videotaping every performance! Sad world we live in, thanks to the millennials, gen z’ers and whatever else is behind them. A damn shame shame IMO!!
I mean.. it's not the generation that picked the phones, just a sign of addiction all too common though, at least it's not the past generation and their cigarettes.
I saw that on the Stanton homer. This couple to our right of GS(his left shoulder) wasn't even paying much attention, well the man was. The lady was pointing down, looking at her phone or something. I noticed cuz when that ball cracked off the bat, you're supposed to look up but a few had better things going on I guess.
So better location on that 83 mph change up and more inside on that 93 mph fastball and Gos get out that inning. Good practice for the playoffs. Something not to forget. That feeling of regret motivates a player💪
When Stanton barrels in a big moment of a big game, the only force more stunning than the swing speed and ball exit velocity is the palpable crowd devastation. It always seems to be 2 strikes with 2 outs and the crowd is not expecting Stanton to hit the ball. When he does, everyone in the park just wants to cry with the 10-12 y/o boys. And, there is a 2 minute “sinking in” period before another pitch is thrown…..always.
Don't get the wrong idea... Stanton absolutely uses his legs to their full power. A large step is not necessary, nor does it generate power. The step is all just personal preference, and a timing aid. The power comes from keeping the front hip closed (he does this to the extreme with his closed stance), creating tension that can be built up then released when the hands are coming through/driving the hips through the ball. Yes he is strong af, but he's not hitting bombs using "just arms."
Great job MLB. You took an all-star game where there were 299 pitches, 13 hits, and distilled it down to under 4 minutes showing 2 dingers. No wonder nobody watches anymore. Just an idea, maybe for your August 11th PR stunt, make a highlight reel of the corn growing. It’ll be more exciting than watching someone trying to set up a slider on the 9th pitch of an AB.
@@emrow346 "They" who? Baseball does have a rule where 1 player gets repped from every team so some years you'll see guys who you might scratch your head but then you say it's the rule. Other guys are replacements. I'm not sure of Buxton's case, and/or where he bats in the Twins lineup but you're going to see lower averages more often now. You're going to see lower overall RBI numbers. You're seeing the home run to RBI ratio fall to 1:sub 3ish, meaning for every home run, you should have AT LEAST 3 RBI. A player hits 30 homers, he should automatically have 100 RBI. To me, anyone approaching 30hrs(26+) should have 100 RBI. But with the analytics now, average isn't as important to some but it's still a major stat. Don't ever believe otherwise.
@@mpound97 by they I mean %80 of baseball community and ik how the allstar game works im not a casual. And with the 1 to 3 ratio hr to rbi I believe that's how it should be but its all about power these days you can have a .200 avg 30 hr 70 rbi and k 1 every 3 abs and you'll be considered really good then you have players that hit .300 with only 8-12 homeruns and around 40 to 50 rbi with 1 k every 7 abs and you're considered an avg player cuz you dont have 20 hr to go with it. Don't get me wrong hr are cool obviously but there's no strategy to baseball anymore no more bunting speed is not as valued cuz of it. The only strategy in baseball is find the strongest guys and the strongest pitchers
As a dodger fan I know it’s a all star game and maybe it isn’t a big deal but those are THe type of hitters tony G is gonna see in the playoffs not good but buxtons homer on a high pitch like that tip ur cap to that my goodness
I was a huge Dozier fan when he was with the Twins. After the year he hit like 45 home runs he started moving farther from the plate and the only pitches he could handle were the ones on the inside half of the plate. Throw the ball on the outer half and he was an easy out. Strictly a pull hitter.
I was shocked at the Buxton homerun. That pitch was so high and he still hammered it. Amazing bombs back to back.
The man is a beast all around hope he stays healthy this year he could make a run for MVP easily
3:02 ohtani was shocked too
Cannot throw that pitch down the middle 0-2 to Giancarlo 😭😂
Fax
Buxtons home run was other worldly, way up in the strike zone straight hammered that ball
No, more like Gonsolin shouldn't be in the All-Star game
It's also the reason why he's hitting .220 with a .295 obp and strikes out at one the highest rates in the league. He has terrible plate discipline, swings at everything and can't draw a walk to save his life... but yes, his power is insane
@@AdamB34 read my comments, that's how Buxton got the HR
"up in the strike zone?"
That was up in the ball zone and he still got the bat to it.
@@AdamB34
Once a pitcher gets ahead in the count to Buxton there is no reason to throw it anywhere near the plate.
“Have some fun young man” 3rd base coach to Buxton, love it.
Incredible home runs from the pair of them! 💪💪 Very impressed that Buxton managed to hit the ball that high!
Love how Stanton used “don’t play” as his walk up song
That Buxton homerun was incredible. The hand and bat speed to hit that pitch is unreal
His swing is amazing
Stanton was more incredible.
He beat Buxton by 20+ feet and 4 mph.
😂😂..it's his job

Same way big George could flatten other heavyweights while looking like he was barely punching...Technique lol
Gonsolin's reaction immediately after Giancarlo's swing is priceless
Damn, I think Giancarlo's HR landed in Johnny Carson's old studio in Burbank!
Or at his old Malibu home...that my old girlfriend and I used to do plant maintenance at.

And just think, Buxton can literally run circles around Stanton in the field..best fielder in the league. Why Buxton wasn't a starter is a crime.
stanton has so much power in that swing my lord
