VIDEO: Commentator Predicts a 'Dangerous Pitch' Right Before Byron Buxton Demolishes a Homer
By Michael Luciano
It looks like the Fox Sports North broadcast team has become clairvoyant. Cleveland Indians pitcher Tyler Olson was behind 2-0 in a two-on, two-out jam with the resurgent Byron Buxton at the plate. When the commentator predicted a "dangerous" pitch from Olson, Buxton slammed a home run into Mahoning County to give the Minnesota Twins a 4-1 lead.
Why yes, that was a very dangerous pitch indeed.
For the last couple years, you might have been able to get away with that pitch. However, Buxton has finally arrived as a force at the plate, hitting a career high .266 with seven home runs while leading the AL in doubles with 20.
The way he's been hitting of late, any pitch to him is endangered.
