Dunn's HR last night was said to be 425 feet. The blast the other day in Detroit was apparently only 422 feet. One of those measurements is wrong. I'm guessing the one in Detroit.

Considering that the right field wall is only 330 feet away in Comerica Park, whereas the right center field wall is somewhere between 380-400 feet away in Progressive Field, these measurements are probably somewhere close to correct

The team is winning. The angry people have gone away. Also look at how short the game thread is.

 

That's why they call it, "Just Win, Baby."

It's human nature. The only way to shut fans up is to win. Otherwise there are tons of things to second guess.

Yes a great fan has faith and shrugs off the losses and keeps the faith all 27 outs.

That's difficult to do with all the wild losing streaks and ways this team has pissed away games the past 2-plus seasons. You could say all teams lose games, but the White Sox have really held the market on horrible losses/weird player slumps in the time span I've mentioned.

Go Sox.

I don't know if it's magnified to us as Sox fans, but it does seem like this team finds ways to lose. I suppose if you talked with fans of the Pirates, Cubs, O's, etc. they may say the same thing. Those 9th inning losses are more painful than a loss that was secured in the 4th inning. And it seems like we see those late inning losses way too often.

Yeah those homers down the line look deceptively far. Hittrackeronline.com had the one in Detroit at 438 and last nights at 419. They generally seem to be right on the money and I take their word over the estimates they give on tv.

I think for Dunn the distances seem low because he hits towering flyballs, versus the line drives that others hit.

Still though, that homer off of Papa Grande cleared the bleachers. 438 still seems very conservative

Hit tracker actually uses physics and doesn't just guess with the naked eye. Numbers don't lie. To go 438 down the line means the ball would land 100+ past the fence. Thats a hell of a long ways.
