Blue Jays team that, as has been the case for much of the season, had been struggling to push runs across.
voice-verified
It's quite the turn of events.
voice-verified
And even Arn Zwelling doing his interview on the field after the game sort of alluded to he said, you know, the thing that people kinda knew about you coming into this organization and what people had heard on the scouting reports was just this guy doesn't really have pop.
voice-verified
And it wasn't a you know a horrible black mark on his record.
voice-verified
Players have strengths, players have weaknesses.
voice-verified
It was just sort of considered the reality.
voice-verified
This is a guy who is a smaller hitter who
voice-verified
focuses on patience and contact, that's what he's good at.
voice-verified
Don't expect any home runs.
voice-verified
And if we're gonna be totally clear, I don't think there's gonna be a massive surge of home runs from here on out.
voice-verified
How dare you.
voice-verified
But you have to give the guy credit.
voice-verified
People basically said, you know, he's not really gonna be able to provide this, and at least for this little stretch here, two home runs in two days, neither of them cheap, both four hundred and three feet.
voice-verified
I remember we got a call, I believe it was maybe even just last weekend, where someone asked us, you know, they said Brett Bateman has done everything, but what would it take for him to hit a home run?
voice-verified
And I kind of laid out a
voice-verified
Scenario where, like, okay, well, anyone can sort of turn on the ball, you yank one down the line, 350, 360 feet, something like that, where you just let the ball carry.
voice-verified
And when I imagined a Brett Bateman home run, that's sort of what I thought it would be.
voice-verified
And I was very much incorrect because he absolutely smoked those to you know that right center field gap.
voice-verified
It's not easy to put them out there, and I don't believe he's gonna become a massive power.
voice-verified
But again, he has been so good in pretty much every fast of the game.
