I feel as though it's time to bring this back.

At 22 and counting... Let's see if he can get up to 50.

classic.

You should add some of this info: True distance, date, pitcher (It'll take like 10 minutes)

Awesome!

[Ramako]

Bautista is just 1 homer off leading the league. Nobody would have predicted this a few weeks ago. Amazing.

[duppyy]

I admit I was one of those people that was getting worried.

I hope that people stopped using that stupid "joey outs" nickname.

[LLJ]

Never doubted him this year for a second!

[Homer Jay]

Hamilton's tailed off a bit with the injuries lately, Dunn runs so hot and cold at times too. Nobody from the NL looks like they are going to run away anytime soon. So I think Jose really has a chance to lead MLB in homers for the third year in a row, which will be quite an achivement. If Lawrie and Rasmus can keep getting on base for him too, he could lead the league in RBIs for the first time.

Honestly I'm really surprised at how little the following three have done:
1)Pujols
2)Fielder
3)Cabrera

I thought those three guys would dominate the league this year.

I never doubted Bautista neither. His last two years were not flukes and he's still relatively in young. I love Bautista and i would never trade him. Hes the kind of player i would love to see finish his career in Toronto. He's the kind of player you go into the world series with. Who knows he might get to 50 HR again. Anything over 40 and id be very happy though! His contract is amazing too!

Never trade Bautista, matter of fact dont trade anyone 1-4. If we trade EE we better be getting something good in return. Keep Bautista,Lawrie and Rasmus long term. They are just great two way players! I still think this jays club is only 1 solid good pitcher and 1 good big bat away from being a very competitive team for the next few years. Our jays offense wasnt playing on all cylinders to start off the year but the lineup change has really shaken things up.

Kudos to Farrell on the lineup change! although i suggested moving Lawrie and Rasmus up at the beggining of the season.

Rasmus and Bautista doing their thing last night was friggen awesome.

Don't forget to put in this image:

(You can update the image the day after every homer as it will change to reflect the new totals.)

Sick thanks man! This will be the most advanced HR watch on RealGM.

[Geddy]

I read some where that EE's home run that hit the slide was 463 feet (and would have gone further had it not hit the slide) but the ESPN tracker says it was much shorter.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

BOOM

[vaff87]

Thanks, Tyrone.

Can't believe he's tied for the league lead in homers, after hitting 3 in April, and Hamilton had that 9 homer week.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

I mentioned this in the GDT, but the fact we get to watch this guy every day, after being able to watch Halladay for 8 seasons, is pretty lucky (not to mention Delgado in his prime, plus 2 phenomenal seasons from Clemens). I know it's been frustrating to be a Jays fan the past 20 years, but we have had it much better than most baseball fans.

We've had it better than whom? Most baseball fans?

Luckier than most fans, you said earlier. Have a look at all the clubs who've made the postseason in the last 20 years. Off the top of my head, it's everyone but Toronto, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City—all of whom have been making off-season plans well early for 20 years. No, we have not been lucky.

Edit: Washington, too, on account of their Montreal pedigree. Still, they're in line to win their division so we can soon scratch them off the list.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but I do feel very lucky getting to watch some of the greatest individual baseball seasons in recent memory. I am frustrated as hell about no playoffs, but Clemens->Delgado->Halladay->Bautista, has been pretty fun to watch. When all is said and done I just love watching good baseball.
