Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton hit his 29th home run of the season in the 1st inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. He should have followed it up by blasting his 30th homer of the year in the 8th, but Jay Bruce had other plans.
Stanton hit a high fly ball to the opposite field that looked like it was going to clear the wall, but Bruce timed his jump perfectly to make the catch. The ball hung up in the air for so long that it would have been understandable if Bruce lost track of it.
See what happens when you don’t launch it 100 feet over the fence, Giancarlo? Better to be safe and hit the ball a mile next time.
