He’s not a homerun hitter.

4. Adrian Gonzalez hits monster homerun off the scoreboard at Miller Park.

Adrian Gonzalez’s torrid start to the 2015 was historic, and he was absolutely crushing balls at an amazing rate. Gonzalez has been the quiet and steady M.V.P. of this team behind Clayton Kershaw since he was acquired from Boston. Even though Ned Colletti might not get exactly glowing reviews from a lot of Dodger fans most of the time, that blockbuster trade between the Dodgers and Red Sox netted the Dodgers one of the best first baseman of our generation.

The homerun Gonzo hit in Milwaukee was an absolute moon shot. The Dodgers might not have Hanley Ramirez to hit humongous homeruns anymore, but Gonzo and the rest of the revamped lineup are making up for Hanley’s absence and have added even more long balls than I could have ever imagined in this early part of the season.

Butter and eggs. All day. Every day.
