I personally liked the sound effects when they replayed the hit.

Beastly.

Manny-esque

the preceding post was a great success.

Really is.

Can we sue that team for stealing our Texas T?

The one on the jersey looks a lot like the Rangers one. They even stole our colors!

I was actually wondering if this is some variation of our new team uniforms.

Too effing cool!

A walkoff HR in the middle of January…albeit an old clip.

Thanks!

What is this supposed to mean?

(hit post too soon)

y ahora…que haras con el hacha?

From Babelfish:

and now… that haras with the axe?

Que haras

is “what will you do”, so it’s saying “and now, what will you do with the axe?” Where “the axe” is probably a nickname for a player…who was that guy they were showing when the clip was up? He was making a chopping motion though…I’m so confused, haha.

I've heard several people use "hacha"

instead of bat.

Aha!

Thanks for the clarification, Kyle.

So, from Jason’s input below:

And now, what will you do with the bat?

Which prolly means, to us:

What will you do next?

Is that an accurate assumption?

I don't think the words "y ahora que haras con el hacha"

have anything to do with Max Ramirez. They have to do with Jose Castillo who was playing for Caracas.

The song they play before Castillo comes to the plate is a Reggaeton song that repeats the word “hacha” in the chorus. Castillo has a huge following down in Venezuela and the entire stadium sings the song and makes the chopping motion before each of his at-bats.

The end of the video was a shot of Castillo doing “el hacha”.
