Man-Child is legit. Both HR’s were ropes to the deepest parts of the field.

Run hitting rookies. His OBP is crazy for a power hitter and a rookie.
Now we’re down to one in every 8.9 ABs.

I think he could be a game changer down the stretch for them. If he gets heated up he could put up some even more crazy numbers up in a short season. His swing is so good for such a big guy. Great batting eyes too. Reminds me of a LH Frank Thomas. Once he gets in with MLB trainers and adds muscle to his baby body he’s going to be even stronger. Live his presence too, very quiet and humble.

There was no way all the hype around vlad was going to go well. He has been very good just not what we hoped for

Nothing about Vlad has been very good in 2019. He has been average.

11 pitch, bases-loaded at bat ending in an RBI single. He is menacing at the plate. He swings like he's holding a damn warhammer.

Today's game seems like it would've been a good one to get back on track. Hopefully there's no medical issues to be worried about.

He’s spoiled us all so much that when he only gets 1 hit and no RBIs in just two games we hold our breath and wonder what’s wrong? Lol

In comparison:

Yordan Alvarez 26 games, 31 RBI (1: 0.8 games)
Pete Alonso 94 games, 71 RBI (1: 1.3 games)
Michael Chavis 75 games, 52 RBI (1: 1.4 games)
Eloy Jimenez 67 games, 39 RBI (1: 1.7 games)
Brandon Lowe 43 games, 25 RBI (1: 1.7 games)
Tatis Jr (leadoff) 60 games, 33 RBI (1: 1.8 games)
Vlad Jr 66 games, 26 RBI (1: 2.5 games)

Let's go to Vets here

Josh Bell 94 games, 84 RBI (1: 1.1 games)
Mike Trout 91 games, 75 RBI (1: 1.2 games)
Christian Yelich 90 games, 73 RBI (1: 1.2 games)
Cody Bellinger 95 games, 77 RBI (1: 1.2 games)

I know it's only 26 games, but that's insane

Yordan is a stud. Should win ROY: He also benefits from playing on the best offense in baseball. That lineup is just not fair.

He's hot. Homers make headlines and they don't come easy, especially if he's hurting, but meanwhile he's keeping his BA in the .330 range. The Astros offense is hitting on all cylinders lately and giving him tons of RBI opportunities. I went to a game a couple weeks ago and they were almost sold out of the little Alvarez merch they had. No jerseys in my size, wasn't 100% sure about spending $150 on a noob's jersey anyway, but I got a nice t-shirt. And he didn't even play.

I see the 2019 Bowman Chrome Superfractor has been pulled according to BGS pop report. And ebay. I just found out it sold in May for about $1300. It's out there somewhere.

Anyone know if the Mega Box black 1/1 has been pulled? Or the 30th Ann Super?

Wow, $1300 for the super in May?! I started buying him at the end of May. That’s a huge win and in such a short period of time for whoever bought that

Actually looks like BO was accepted at $1200.

Astros are going to win it all. You can’t compete with that lineup.
