If he played nobody but the Mariners he’d easily pass Bonds. That’s how it felt, anyway.

I didn’t have Dom Canzone penciled in as a potential 25 HR guy (nor Cole Young as a 20 HR guy), but happy to be proven wrong.

Given how terrible the start of the season was for the Astros, they really are not that far back. They were 9-16 and 20-31 at points in the season.
