It shows that Alonso is staying relaxed and composed. Considering he is leading MLB in home runs with 19, whatever he is doing is certainly working. Maybe that added bit of pressure is exactly what the rest of the Mets need.Eeth@ItsMeEethMy dude crushed a homer first pitch lmao twitter.com/jomboymedia/st…Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaPete Alonso says he had to poop so bad during an at-bat that he was going to swing at the first pitch no matter whatHe hit a home run and ran straight to the bathroom after(via @FoulTerritoryTV)82453Pete Alonso says he had to poop so bad during an at-bat that he was going to swing at the first pitch no matter whatHe hit a home run and ran straight to the bathroom after(via @FoulTerritoryTV) https://t.co/rCpS6hvjjMMy dude crushed a homer first pitch lmao twitter.com/jomboymedia/st…KCPS7@KCPS7@JomboyMedia @FoulTerritoryTV I’m guessing this happened in the bottom of the turd…2@JomboyMedia @FoulTerritoryTV I’m guessing this happened in the bottom of the turd…Joe Pesci@JOEEPESCi@JomboyMedia @FoulTerritoryTV He’s practicing his standup routine@JomboyMedia @FoulTerritoryTV He’s practicing his standup routineAlonso, who will become an unrestricted free agent in 2024, is making a case for the Mets to extend him now. If he continues at his pace, his price tag will be astronomical soon enough.
