Yesterday before the Derby, the Mets – the actual Mets – tweeted a video of Pete saying whatever he said and ending with his immature vulgar version of LGM. So it brings me great joy, tremendous joy, to see Pete lose the Home Run Derby.
What’s extra funny to me is that anyone who watches baseball knows all you have to do to get this guy out is pitch him low and away….and that’s what the BP Pitcher did! Here come the excuses…
the BP pitcher really didn’t give Alonso a chance, struggling with his control to the point that he was throwing as many pitches on the outside corner as he put in the slugger’s sweet spot on the inner half of the plate.
Anyway, I see an increasing number of fans observing that Pete isn’t that good at baseball day to day even though if you hit 5 home runs in 6 days every few weeks you wind up with some nice HR and RBI columns. What you don’t wind up with is a World Series trophy.
