2021-05-12: Cardinals (Gant) at Brewers (Woodruff) [Brewers win, 4-1 -- Woodruff outstanding once again; Vogelbach reaching on a 2-out strikeout sparks rally; Garcia hits massive 442ft bomb]

[RollieTime]

Gar Gar go far far

[brooks_quichenick]

That baseball was hit very, very far

[markedman5]

Love the reaction

[adambr2]

Holy smokes did Garcia ever destroy that one. There's that power!

[Patrick425]

I can’t remember a ball going where that one did. Woah

 

That was gargantuan!

[adambr2]

Love the reaction

 

It's the Cardinals, so I fully expect Avi to take one in the ribs tomorrow.

[BruisedCrew]

Way to spark a 3 run inning with a strikeout.

[homer]

442 ft

[yourout]

That one was heading for lake Michigan.

[MrTPlush]

~445 foot moonshot. Massive

 

Recently I recall Ryan Braun hitting one to the top of the LF seats and an opposing hitter. The Braun homer was a mind boggling 474 feet.

[Baldkin]

At the game tonight. Pablo was on the field to pinch run before Big Dan even stopped to turn around.

 

Also, I've seen some moon.shots, that rivaled all of them

[Patrick425]

The grumbling about our offense is completely warranted. However, I feel like a lot of fan bases feel that same way about their team's offense this year.

[markedman5]

Strike out wild pitch made it all possible

[brewcrewdue80]

Will JBJ hit a HR and make this a non-Hader situation and a garbage pitcher comes in to blow it?

[Eye Black]

I can’t remember a ball going where that one did. Woah

I thought the same thing. That’s a rare spot to see one end up, even in BP.

[homer]

[Dead Simmons]

YOU GUYS WERE CERTAINLY DUE FOR A BREAK!

[wallus]

What a poopy AB from Urias.

Here is Ryan Braun’s...definitely a place not often traveled.

 

EDIT: This one was 474, so Garcia is definitely not the farthest to LF. I bet there are a few others farther than Garcia’s too.

442 ft

 

I think that is the longest home run to LF in a game with the longest being 480 ft by Branyan to RF.

I think that is the longest home run to LF in a game with the longest being 480 ft by Branyan to RF.

 

What about the one Branyan hit off the scoreboard during an Opening Day - I think - game?

[wallus]

YOU GUYS WERE CERTAINLY DUE FOR A BREAK!

 

Don't ruin this for us!

[Patrick425]

Odd observation - but weird how they put the extra letters on the inning by inning scoring graphic (3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc...)

[MrTPlush]

442 ft

 

I think that is the longest home run to LF in a game with the longest being 480 ft by Branyan to RF.

 

Marcell Ozuna’s first Cardinal homer was 479 to LF. Matt Holliday had a 466 foot homer to LF too.

 

While impressive it is probably somewhere in the back end of the Top 10 to LF.

442 ft

 

I think that is the longest home run to LF in a game with the longest being 480 ft by Branyan to RF.

 

After looking a little bit longer Braun's 474 ft Home Run is the longest to LF. That one I believe left the park the only other player to hit one further would be Sosa in the HR derby I believe and Weeks I think it was to LF that went 470 ft in 2011.
