Vlad is a ridiculous player. 

He is now the AL AVG leader, of course.

Lowest ISO of anybody with a .400+ wOBA. Down there with XAVIER EDWARDS lmao.

Hoffman threw his hardest pitching of the season last night to end the game. 97.9 mph fastball to strike out Adam Frazier. Hopefully he can keep it up.

Vlad is like Soto but trading 20 extra homers for 40 extra singles

Wish he would just sell out for some more power at times, we know he can be a beast

[Terminator]

At least Vlad is walking a lot so hopefully he keeps that up. Steamer is starting to buy into this 12.5% walk rate. If he does that while hitting .300 he's still going to be a damn good player even if he's only hitting 25 homers.

But if the power isn't going to remain consistent throughout the year, maybe he can at least have one ridiculously hot month where he hits 10 bombs or something to get him into the 30+ range.

Did Ben Rice learn how to hit a splitter over the offseason or have the Yanks not faced any good ones?   I loved watching him whiff on splitters in the playoffs and will be sad if I no longer get to enjoy that.

Player 1 and Player 2.  Player 1 is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.   Who his his brother from a different mother?

Hr Age 22-26 Vladimir: 48, 32, 26, 30, 23

Hr Age 22-26 Player X:  29, 47, 23, 32, 25

They are within 1 for every number.  Like Vlad had a 48, X had a 47.  Both had a 32.  Vlad had a 30, X had a 29.  Vlad had a 26, X had a 25.  They both had a 23.  They hit virtually the same number of homers with the same season totals (mixed up a bit) between age 22 and 26.

Who is player X and what was his final total?

[Laika]

It is Reggie Jackson, I think, and I cheated

Anyway, Eddie Murray is a much better comp for Vlad 

[Omar]

[hanton]

sanchez, jimenz and gimenez lol

Throwback Tuesday

I used to say Manny Ramirez (they were very similar through first 5 years) but now Vladdy's extra base power has fallen off.  

[Jonn]

That was one ugly Outfield route. But he made the play I guess.

[dancingmachine]

Man Sanchez makes everything look difficult lol

[neverbeenhere]

Let's score early, boys

[dancingmachine]

We need runs and lots of them let's go.

[Slade]

Like I said Sanchez doesn't do anything eloquently but dude can sting a baseball. 

[neverbeenhere]

I thought it was gone

Yeah we need his bat 

[Omar]

Thought EJ got a hold of one.

[neverbeenhere]

good base run by Jesus

[Jonn]

Sanchez hesitation on the bases got Varsho to second lol. Not intentional but it worked!

[dancingmachine]

Lol Sanchez 

[Omar]

Sanchez looks like he is running in slow motion 

[Jays24]

Why the hell didnt Sanchez go home on that play.  Very stupid not to have the contact play on there.

[neverbeenhere]

lost a good chance to score

Cause he's a slug.

[neverbeenhere]

Nice inning by Corbin

[Jonn]

Gibby sighting in the Angels dugout! I forgot he signed there as a bench coach.

[DownSouthBlueJay]

Everytime I see Gibby reminds me of the Shea Hillenbrand "The ship is Sinking" days.
