I'm not taking sides in this but breaking a player's season down my month is about as meaningful as breaking it down by throwing darts against a wall. I'm sure someone could choose other dates that would make the argument look completely different.

Seems pretty entitled to do anything but marvel at this guys season so far.
If you were told a year ago today what his statline would be on 8/8/21 wouldn’t you be in shock and awe of the jump from league average to the only thing between him and mvp is a freakshow 2-way demon?
Incredible development this year both in his fitness and hitting.

Golfed out a 75mph curveball at his knees for a HR.

For me that was more fun than his lazer beam-type HRs.

This contest is nothing but comical. And it's become an elaborate troll now.

It's like me offering $1,000 if ___________ keeps up his HR pace and hits 75. The liklihood of it happening is as close to 0 as you can get.

So now you'll beat your chest because his OPS isn't 1.245 or whatever at Rogers. Do yourself a favor, and look at the MLB leader in OPS in recent years. His pace up until a few weeks ago wasn't going to be sustained. It would've been literally a historic season.

I really wish blowout would purge the board of this trash.

But back to Vlad (and not trolls, Ohtani, etc) great to see him hit #35. On August 8th. What a season.

Feel free to offer $800 freerolls for guys to hit 30 pts below their 4 month OPS pace for the last 2 months of the season. I'll be waiting

I had an entire thread arguing against me for a month that the Minor League Parks made little to no difference versus Rogers Centre. It's great to see you now concede that I was right that the odds were astronomical because of how absurdly good hitter's park Buffalo and Dunedin were.

Agreed. We have to stop feeding his ego by even acknowledging the silly contest. Super safe "prediction" with that absurd OPS standard.

Always seen them knock Vlad, while claiming they're not a "hater" simply because they have some of his cards.

And this is exactly why Blowout doesn't need this garbage.

I'm not conceding anything. It's been 7 games - but again, you saying I'll give away ______ if he maintains his 1.250 OPS at home is comical.

I'm so tired of people going into player threads only to troll, bring up other players, tell people collecting/invested/fans of a certain player how to think/post. In a message board sense, you are bottom of the barrel. Congrats, I guess?

Someone else said it, if you all just ignore him, he’ll be forced to go back to paying $40 for women to acknowledge him. I’ve said it before, the only reason he can act like this is because no one is close enough to slap him in the mouth. He’s in every thread pushing his stupidity and no one can really do anything about it EXCEPT ignore him. Just ignore his posts and he becomes as irrelevant here as he is at home.

I’m really hoping he keeps it up. His swing looks really good and I was a fan of his dad, so awesome to see Vlad Jr raking. Do you think he takes the HR lead this week?? I hope he gets to 40 mid month and surges even more. If Bichette can get hot it could get really exciting

Just purge it from your mind. Like this: There’s a contest? Huh. Not interested.

Glad to see Vladdy getting his groove back! Still plenty of ball left to be played and this kid has been a joy to watch this season.

Seeing way too many quotes and references today to someone I put on the block/ignore list (population 1). Civil discussion is an impossibility unfortunately. I would highly recommend just letting him talk to himself for a while.

Cheers everyone!
