The scores of Dominican Winter League games likely don’t represent a great concern for the majority of this site’s readership. One demographic to whom they’re pretty important, however, is Dominican people. Among that demographic is giant Twins batter and also Estrellas de Oriente designated hitter Miguel Sano.

Sano’s eighth inning plate appearances tonight against Toros del Este began with his club trailing by a score of 3-1. As those who possess either (a) some expertise in the field of nonverbal communication or (b) normal human eyes — as either of those types of people can infer from the visual evidence here, 3-1 was not the score when Sano’s plate appearance ended.

By means both of his deliberate exit from the batter’s box and also a vigorously outstretched left arm, Sano announces that he is bad. How bad? By all appearances, roughly as bad as he wanna be.
