Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez got his 2015 season off to a decent start: Through his team’s first three games, the 32-year-old slugger is 10-for-13 with five homers and two doubles, good for an astonishing 2.846 OPS.

Gonzalez hit three homers in his team’s 7-4 win over the Padres on Wednesday. Here they are:

For some context, let’s turn it over to the experts at @AceballStats:

It’s an astonishing outburst, for this point of the season or any other. But Gonzalez’s three incredible games, of course, are emphasized and isolated because they happened to coincide with the first three games of the season. And though they represent the best three-game stretch of Gonzalez’s productive Major League career, this is not the first time he’s posted huge power numbers over short stretches: Gonzalez hit five home runs in four games in July of 2006, six in five games in May, 2009, and five in four games again in May, 2011.

Attentive baseball fans probably understand this by now: Gonzalez’s remarkable start hardly proves that he has suddenly, in what should be the back end up his prime years, emerged as the best power hitter in baseball. He’s a very good hitter, and very good hitters can do extraordinary things when they’re locked in for a few days. Heck, even lousy hitters can do extraordinary things when they’re locked in for a few days. There’s a whole song about this.

But none of that should make it any less awesome: Five home runs in three games, y’all. Baseball is weird and good.
