Miguel Sanó is appearing pretty good at baseball, folks. It's still early in the season, but he's at or near the top of a ton of the meaningful offensive Leaderboards, and his defense has thus far passed the eye test.

This post was in drafts for yesterday. Still need one for today, so...
half-bakef...it works.
of course I'm watching Simpsons reruns on FXx right now, too
Thanks. I was working yesterday and totally spaced on this.
UZR is out for 2017 and it puts Sano at -0.2 so far this season and a -0.5 UZR/150. Way above league average bat with league average fielding? Yes please.
I would say that agrees with the eye test, too. He's looked downright competent,enough so that I'm now angrier about the outfield experiment .
I would not mind if they signed him to a ten year extension, like, right now.
I am seeing it with my own eyes, but I still refuse to believe Whit Merrifield is a real person.
Through eight innings, Berrios has given up no runs on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts. Rochester scored four in the seventh to take a 4-0 lead. Berrios has thrown 98 pitches, so I assume he's done for the day. His ERA is now 1.09.
And Berrios is, in fact, done for the day.
Hughes has enough trouble getting three outs in an inning. We really didn't need to make him get four.
And a stupid play leads to a run. Imagine that
And in fairness to Hughes, most pitchers are going to have trouble when you make them get four outs in an inning.
I also thought those were two pretty good pitches that lead to the runs. Two runs on a dumb play and junk.
SANO!!!!!!!!
Dang, you're ahead of me so there was no drama in that at bat
Guess I should've spoilered it 🙂
That's a spoiler I can live with.
SAAAANNNNNNNONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
mashed taters!
in play, run(s)!!
Man, Sano can crush 'em.
Super half bakef game log. Good times.
It's really pretty amazing how much of a weapon the base on balls has been for the Twins so far this year.
Byron Buxton is fast.
You obviously can't base your offense on it, but it is fun when you can frustrate the other team with infield singles.
Buxton being fast is good
AweSano!!
I'm okay with Sano getting two or three RBIs every time he comes to bat.
That would be a record.
Did you even look that up?
I was waiting for Sean to.
Dazzle Gordo'd that one.
National's Rendon has 9 RBIs on 5 hits in 5 AB's in the 8th.
6 for 6! 10 RBI! Holy cow
The odds of him getting any more ups tonite are infinitessimal. I bet 6x6 is a team record.
I bet 5 AB in the 8th is a record, let alone 5 hits. I've never heard of anyone getting more than 2 AB in an inning!
Actually, more that two at-bats in an inning (and more than two hits) in an inning has happened.
It's happened three times in the NL. And all three were in the same inning.
He was the only Nats starter with an OPS+ under 100 (54) before today's game. I have a feeling it will be above 100 after today
They win 23-5. Half of Rendon's hits went over the fence.
When I hear/think about 10+ RBI games the name that comes to mind is Hard Hittin' Mark Whiten and his 4 HR, 12 RBI game back in 1993
I'm enjoying this 2017 royals defense.
And this 2017 Sano offense.
5 RBI for Sano!
I have no idea why they would pitch to Sano there, but thanks!
Bert and I agree
Sano-sation!
I think Sal Perez has never recorded an out against the Twins.
Hughes gonna Hugh
wait, Sano left a runner in scoring position at one point in this game? how could that be?
Apparently we exhausted Pressly by making him pitch a third of an inning.
I can only imagine how tired Rogers is now.
Joe Mauer is the second coming of Doug Mientkiewicz!
Glad we got the offense out of him before that
Another home run would be acceptable here.
Well, that's going to happen sometimes, too.
well, he can steal a base. this time.
Sano with more WAR this game than all Twins players in April 2016 #altfactsarefun
As much as I'd like to forget April 2016, it's easier to deal with when making Sano look good.
I'm thinking the royals would have preferred to keep the tarp on today.
Looks like Whit Merrifield may actually exist!
I remain skeptical.
Kintzler pitching to the score
Solo home runs don't hurt you.
SWEEEEP!
This has been a successful April!
Above .500!
First winning March/April since 2010! (2014 was .500)
We're still on track for 151-11!
