He has played out of his mind this year and I am ecstatic that he broke Bench's record. I would love to see him break Soler's as well. But outside HR's and RBIs, Vlad Jr. leads him in every other statistical category. Vlad has a higher BA, more hits, higher SLG, higher OBA which combines for a higher OPS, more walks (by a lot), fewer strikeouts (by a lot), and a higher WAR. Perez has been outstanding this year and it's not taking anything away from him by acknowledging that while acknowledging that Vlad Jr. has had a better season at the plate than him and more deserving of MVP (although in this case it's irrelevant because it's probably going to Ohtani).

ROYALS HAVE WON A SERIES AGAINST THE CLEVELAND INDIANS!!!!!

Juan Soto. Is the MVP.

Are you drunk again?

Salvy breaking the Royals tomorrow would be perfect considering its the anniversary of this:

Seeing Perez hit 48 homers makes me realize how crazy the Bonds/Sosa/McGwire era really was. 73 fricking home runs is nuts.

Had a lot more horsepower behind those swings, if you know what I mean.

Well, they did have "help" and they played in smaller ballparks.

Vladito is great.

He also benefits from hitting in a great home ballpark for home runs and a great division for home run hitters.

Perez would have 3-4 more home runs, just based on batted ball distance, playing his home games at Rogers Centre instead of the K.

Vladito would have 3-4 fewer home runs playing at the K instead of Rogers Centre.

Taylor 2/9?

Meh.

so mondi in right field?
