Because I’m a heartless monster, it took Jose Bautista’s 39th home run just a few short hours ago to make me realize that I had missed his 38th.
Coming on the sixth inning of the Blue Jays’ August 29th game against the Rays, Bautista connected on JP Howell’s 88 mph fastball to top off the Jays scoring for the day.
Two days later, tired of merely sharing the home run lead with Curtis Granderson (or Fat Ass Granderbutt as Bautista calls him), Bautista hit a two-run shot off of Troy Patton’s 89 mph fastball in the sixth inning. With the ball up and out over the plate, Bautista essentially wiffleballed it out over the fence, pure brute strength overpowering any machinations Patton may have had when the ball came out of his hand.
