Nothing against Alonso, but something about the WOW coverage of HRs is bugging me.
As every HR record falls, can we please stop being faux-impressed with HR totals?
Put them in context.
Chop 30% off the inflated number.
Alonso's 36 HRs in 2019 are really 25 HRs. Still a lot for early August, but he's not Darryl Strawberry.
While the profile of Alonso’s high school coach is one of the most
edge-of-your-seat fascinating profiles of a high school baseball coach
I’ve ever read in my entire life, and Alonso is doing quite well compared with his peers ... Alonso is going to strike
out 180 times and is batting .208 with RISP.
He is not in the NL MVP conversation.
