What Rutschman just did there was maybe the most legendary thing I've seen.

Edit: Beat by Robert Jr.! :lol:

hot take: Vladdy's swing has changed for the worse. fire the coach that made him change his swing.

at least Betts was an easy out for Vladdy lol.

Vlad doesn't have the endurance to swing for 3 minutes straight like he did even four years ago. He's in much worse shape. If he could do that, I think he'd win.

Rodriquez about to take out Alonso? stay tuned!

oh snap, Vladdy in the finals. lets get it!

Randle McMurphy · Post #7 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 2:23 am

I've never seen anybody so exhausted from this competition as Vlad is here. He can't go 2nd in the final, so he'll have virtually no rest time either.

I was just thinking, we might have the least in-shape pitcher, and the least in-shape position player under the age of 25 in the league!

(actually, maybe the least 2 In-shape position players in the league, considering Kirk!)

One of the kids in the outfield just got nailed in the face by a Vladdy hit. He totally misread the fly ball.

Vlad needs a delay here to rest. Get him an oxygen tank.

Read on Twitter

HR derbies have never been so dangerous. Vlad is out there hitting 115 MPH line drives all over the field.

30 seconds to get 5.

Kid caught one to the head off Pete Alonso in a previous year. MLB just really enjoys grievously injuring small children.

So they force Vlad to wear a Mariners themed necklace? Kind of sticks in my craw lol.

TOStateofMind · Post #17 » by **TOStateofMind** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 2:47 am

He did it! Pretty impressive that he did it going back to back with little rest

SharoneWright · Post #18 » by **SharoneWright** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 2:47 am

Vlad continues to fake not knowing how to speak English

xAIRNESSx · Post #19 » by **xAIRNESSx** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 2:49 am

ESPN caption just read that Vladdy is the second Cuban born player to win the HR derby :lol:

Randle McMurphy · Post #20 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 2:50 am

What a win. First Jay ever and second Canadian born ever to win (even if it did say Cuban born lol guessing they expected Randy to win)
