Whatever your feelings on the designated hitter debate, I think everyone can appreciate a solid pitcher hit.
Especially if that pitcher is an ace.
Especially if that hit is a homer.
And especially-specially if that homer is hit off of a fellow ace:
Madison Bumgarner enjoyed watching that one go, and you could see immediately the look of “aw crud” on Clayton Kershaw’s face.
That was actually the second homer Bumgarner has hit off of Kershaw in his career, something very few people – pitchers or otherwise – can say.
