Pujols is done. Can't wait to see JRod vs Soto in the Final

KC_Connection 07-18-2022 08:09 PM

Pujols is exhausted

Gary Cooper 07-18-2022 08:16 PM

Mickey Mantle could hit the ball further than any of these Caribbean juiceheads.

Rodriguez is going to destroy Soto assuming he's not too tired. Perhaps Vlad will return next year and get some competition for him.

alpha_omega 07-18-2022 08:26 PM

Just in time for the final.

And, who is this BadBunny clown?

KC_Connection 07-18-2022 08:32 PM

Rodriguez got tired. Could be all over.

Exhaustion definitely plays a role in this.

Seems like endurance is the major factor in a lot of its winners.

Now a documentary about Jeter.

Hard pass.

KChiefs1 07-18-2022 09:09 PM

Might be a parallel between those Yankees & these Royals.

Could BWJ be another Jeter?

Could he change the atmosphere?

I know one thing for sure that Matheny is no Buck Showalter.

Look up what Alonso gets paid on his rookie deal per season.

Then look up what you win if you win the HR Derby.

He makes something like 400k per season but gets 2 million to win the derby. For Alonso, the one night of the derby matters far more than an entire season on the Mets.

I read an article recently that Alonso's career baseball earnings are something wild like 1.1 million salary, 4 million in HR derby winnings.

And you're out here calling him a try hard. For shame.
