I've got a feeling this had more to do with the Brewers pitching then anything else. Both Volpe and Chisholm are guys who get hot and cold very quickly.

Volpe only has 2 hits so far. They just happen to be HR's.

Will not duplicate your post Dave, but agree. The Brewers starting pitching staff is in the hospital and/or rehab, and moving the maximal diameter away from the end of the bat and keeping the bat legal, seems like something that is late in coming. Hell, Bonds could have hit 90 dingers or more with a torpedo. The only way to stop him would have been 400 walks in a season, also a record by the way.
