So over the top. And he breaks the derby record Nice jinx
July 9, 20196 yr Also I don't get how Vlad Jr can't speak English? Has he not lived in the US his whole life?

July 9, 20196 yr I'd rather have the media hype Vlad Jr. over the other son of a former major leaguer who is 20 and is miles better as a player for my sanity..

July 9, 20196 yr Eloy has twice the amount of homers as Vlad Jr in the same amount of games, why isn't he in the Derby?
July 9, 20196 yr So basically the ridiculously juiced ball has now replaced steroids. Verlander called out the juiced ball, which may or may not be ironic depending on what you believe.

July 9, 20196 yr I don't agree with Vlad Jr at all. He has 8 HRs in as many PA's as Eloy. Vogelbach should have been in because he deserved it and for the memes.

July 9, 20196 yr Remember when that young wannabe journalist kid tweeted that the Sox were gonna trade Carson Fulmer and some other bum for Joc Pederson?
