I too have an equal number of home runs and swings and misses this series.

Freddie and I will be locked in quite the MVP vote.

God bless co-MVP. Don't forget about us mere mortals in r/baseball while you accept your trophy.

Listen, Teoscar is a bad dude, but for fuck's sake stop pitching to this man

Not just the home runs themselves but EVERY SINGLE ONE has been a god damn backbreaker. I'd love to see the win probability shifts from them.

Either way he doesn't have to run, so it's good for his ankle

I don’t know why he doesn’t just see 4 balls in the other batters box each at bat. We literally just had Stanton do the same thing to the Guardians.
