Before we begin..
In March and April 2019, Vulgar Pete Alonso had NINE HRs and batted .292. So far he has FIVE HRs, which is a very different number, and is batting .262. Maybe he will crush the ball this week but let’s remember these numbers before we begin with some nonsense in The Post.
Now on to people sounding like crazy people:
As the Mets slugger stops to consider his April success, which has evoked early comparisons to his record-setting 2019, it’s his lower half receiving the credit.
What fools are comparing Pete’s April to 2019? Remember the numbers five and nine that I mentioned earlier.
“He’s been the old Pete coming back,” teammate J.D. Davis said. “I think a big part of it going from 2019 to ’20 and ’21 now, he was really big into his legs, he would get into his legs in ’19 and then in 2020 kind of got away from it.”
You ever notice that we seem to always be talking about Pete “coming back” or breaking out of slumps. Like all the time. That’s weird.
Pete said…
“If I am swinging at balls in the dirt, there is no way I am going to stay in my legs. If I am swinging at balls over my head, there is no way I am going to be able to use my body and put good, quality swings on the ball. So I feel like pitch selection is real huge regarding my success so far early in the year.”
Well yeah.
