Damn! JP put a serious charge into that one!
Crazy that someone that can it one that far only has three bombs in mid August....
I'm ok with that. Last thing I want is for JP to start swinging for the fences unless there's 2 outs and nobody on, and he gets a meatball down the middle of the plate like that one. When he's going good, he's spraying the ball all over the field, and that's when he's at his best.

See David, the minute I posted my August 1st memoir for you, Joan Crawford poked that one out.
Rootin' for you, I am your good luck charm!

I stand corrected, 6 bombs. If he finishes with 10-12 that would be reasonable.

Is it just me, or does Foltynewicz look like one of the biggest punks around? Something about him just rubs me the wrong way and it has nothing to do with him being on the opposing team.

That has to suck to go the other way and hit the ball right to the one guy on that side. I'd walk back into the dugout and ask the pitcher to make that guy take a dirt bath next time up.

That would be awesome if on your 10,000th dirt bath request it actually happens. :)

Earlier this season I asked for one on Tatis and Montero made him do a 180 in mid-air. He got up like 75% covered in dirt, it was a beauty.
