Only fitting that he joined the 1K club with a SchwarBOMB
Difficult to see clearly. Best guess, main concourse third base side.

I was referring to his 4 walks in T5.
You conveniently forgot to mention that so so Luzardo also gave up 5 walks not 4. Hopefully DD will get a SP through a trade and send Luzardo to the bullpen. I think he still feels that he’s pitching for the Marlins.
