He has really been tearing the cover off the ball the last few games. Just getting very unlucky.

8 HRs could easily have been 11+ in a majority of other parks.

Hopefully the back spasms are gone and he settles in nicely to the one hole!

10HR month & 5HR in 5 games is not out of question before season is out. My comment about it being over was just internet "rustling of the jimmies." It's fun to stir emotions as well as honest talk.

Kid needs to hit the weight room. Chicks don't dig warning track power.

Want to feel old?

That commercial turned 20 years old about a week ago.

I like the fact that he isn't trying to pull everything. He clearly has power to all fields which at his age is impressive.

I think he has shown that is where he should be. Let's hope Snitker sees it too.

That’s a really nice looking card/patch. First I’ve seen one of these. What other 2018 relics does he have Dynasty and Bowman Chrome AFL?

Those are two really nice Jersey cards you guys picked up. I still need one for my collection.
