It's the beginning of a new era - it's Vlad's debut!

[Carlos Danger]

Ahhh who cares.. I was waiting for the Avengers movie thread -

Can you imagine living in Toronto and going to the movies tonight instead of going to this game?

Well some people would have pre ordered tickets before they knew about Vlad's debut. It's not like anyone would be daft enough to have movie tickets 2 nights in a row so they could just go tomorrow instead!

Bunch of guys on this board who wont have to imagine. They will be dressed like Thanos trying to manipulate their cell with big oversized jeweled hands checking the box score and missing the pic.

[Orgfiller]

We'll probably lose horribly after saying this, but wow this is a fantastic matchup for us. Fiers sucks and Stroman has been excellent, the stage is set perfectly for the team to come out with a bang on Vlad's debut.

[jays4life19]

I will consider watching this.

Vlad 0-3 and injured running the bases pretty much guaranteed now......... /s

No heroics. That fat little man can go station to station, one base at a time, clog them if he has to.

 

200 hits, 100 walks, - 40 homeruns = 260 clogged bases.

 

260 clogged bases a year will be outstanding.

Base running is for losers. Vlad is here to mash

[Barkerfan23]

I was there when jpa debuted

[BTS]

Can one of the forum Mexicans tell me why Vlad is sometimes called Vladito? What's the 'ito' suffix?

It means little Vlad.

[G-Snarls]

It means little Vlad.

 

Says a non-Mexican

 

I'll still believe you tho

[G-Snarls]

Didn't clog the bases enough

[P2F]

Says a non-Mexican

I'll expand the answer to support my Mexican knowledge:

 

Adding 'ito' or 'ita' essentially works as a nicety. It's typically added to make something small or cute.

Where does everything think MontoYost puts Vlad in the lineup? I'll go with 2nd.

[BTS]

Thank you for thoroughly answering my question P2F, even though I have reason to believe that you aren’t Mexican.

[jays4life19]

I'm changing my username to JFLito

[BTS]

I'm changing my username to JFLito

 

Damn, I was already thinking BTSito has a nice ring to it

[Bobthe4th]

Predictions on Vlad's line today?

 

1 for 3 with 2 strikeouts, a walk and a homerun.

[Carlos Danger]

It means little Vlad.

 

He is right. Stop calling all Latinos Mexicans, you Kiwi.

 

If you see/hear the ito it always means little or cute, affectionate etc, depending on the context.

 

Perro = dog put the ito little dog or puppy or very cute.

 

Cafe= coffee add cito a small coffee like an expresso shot or Cuban coffee etc.

 

Huevos= eggs and Balls! Huevitos = small balls fyi BTS

I have a Peruvian friend that only refers to me as Mikecito.

Considering that's where Drury at 3B was in the last game, it'd make sense. What an upgrade!

There is NO such thing as clogging the bases, it is NOT a thing! I was told so by a popular poster, therefore it is so.

I'll guess 5th

Lies. The Korean boy band is named after a beloved and very handsome BJMB poster.
