Crazy year that a guy could have 50 home runs. 125-130 RBI and bat .320, make the playoffs, and not win MVP

Well…

Was anyone else hoping for a better showdown between the two AL MVP front runners? A whole lot of K’s (2 multiple K games for Vladito which is very uncharacteristic for him) and only one hit for each in 14 innings of baseball. Second game ending with Ohtani getting fanned with the bases loaded, down 4.

Hopefully we see some more fireworks in this series. Ohtani on the mound vs Vlad will be must see TV, but I hope Vladdy is locked in and we see a real battle.

Yep, certainly was hoping for some more action last night. Vlad has been so good all year, it's almost like he was due for a lull. I think he will get back to hitting soon though, and definitely excited to see him go against Ohtani.

Ohtani will probably win the MVP with the lowest batting average of all time for an MVP winner, due to his ability of being an above average hitter and an above average pitcher.

BOOM!!! Vladdy with the single. LOL

Maybe they should have a HRD to determine the winner...

Vladdy IS French Canadian so that goes without saying.

I’m an embarrassment to all my Montréal friends - I gorge on poutine while in town. Go to a fancy restaurant? You bet! Airport poutine? Sign me up. Seriously it’s food from heaven.

The best poutine I ever ate was sold from a caboose set up as a restaurant in downtown Montreal. By the time we got the food to the hotel, the bag was see through.

LOL, player threads.

Does anyone think the Update Yellow will ever catch on? Last sale for Vlad was this week for $51. Just way too low to think more than a handful of people really care about adding it to their collection despite how rare they are

Full disclosure: I have about 70 of the 2019 Update Walgreens Hangers stashed so yes, I do want it to catch on

Maybe he should have learned to pitch as well? JK

shortstopguy12 · 08-13-2021, 09:55 AM

I think the issue is just that there are so many Vladdy RC’s out there to choose from and the average collector does not know the rarity of these. Update in general doesn’t do that well. My favourite mid level card is the Update Gold /2019. It is still pretty darn cheap in my opinion

Indeed. No MVP or Triple Crown at 22 years old, clock is ticking.

Bummer that he is in such a slide.. would be nice to finish the season strong to get people pumped up on his stuff for off season. Will be a great year regardless, but it’s always nice to finish feeling good about your swing

The next series in a few days is against the Nationals. He should be able to break right out of the slump against that horrendous pitching
