Breaking News: David Ortiz Is Back

Just a quick note.

David Ortiz's struggles early this season were well documented. He was swinging at bad pitches, consistently swinging off-balance and, above all, couldn't catch up to a fastball to save his life, let alone an inside fastball.

Last night's blast to right field off of Atlanta starter Jair Jurrjens should quiet any doubters left out there.

Ortiz drilled a 1-1 fastball deep into the Atlanta sky. Ortiz's ability to catch up to this tough, well-located inside pitch and hit it as far as he did is evidence far and above anything we have seen yet of David Ortiz's emergence out of his abysmal early season slump.
