Finger guns are fine and good if you’re a puny baseball human. But what if you’re all of 6-foot-5, 265 pounds of pure muscle, speed, and power?
You need a bazooka, obviously.
That’s exactly what Franmil Reyes explained to Andre Knott following his two-homer performance in Tuesday’s win against the Twins:
When I got traded here I saw everybody like Kipnis always showing a pistol, Mercado showing the same thing. I’m like “I’m too big for this, I need a bazooka” you know what I’m saying? So I just take it off the side, cock it, put it right here, and just throw it to the dugout.
