Ohtani was clearly pressing. Next year he will crush it.

Hubby said this format probably didn’t do Sho any favors. We both think he would have done great in the old format.

Congrats to Alonso!

Here’s hoping Ohtani takes the ASG MVP tomorrow night!

Alonso is nuts. Soto had no chance.

Ha ha. Excellent.

There’s a phenomenal documentary on Ray Mancini by the way.

Going for Mancini at this point. Alonso already won it last year and Soto is only in the semi-final because of luck.

I participated in a HR derby once in high school. It was basically a fundraising event where the parents/family bought tickets to come and see us take some hacks.

I didn’t hit a single HR. I think I swung and missed like twice. Terrible. I was nervous as heck even though no one from my own family was there

It’s one of those things where it’s too believable to be real

I’m kind of bummed Shohei didn’t have his own entourage having his back like Soto did!

Wanna see some sunglasses / suit-wearing Yakuza bros looking all intimidating. I would caution them against paying a visit to Stephen A Smith

Stephen A would crap himself and probably fly out to a hidden Island to go into hiding lol

Yeah, what’s up with that?! It’s kind of disappointing to see only Walsh come up to Shohei to cheer him up. He speaks English, guys! And one of the nicest ones out there!

Mike Trout calling Shohei during the time out then Shohei catching fire is my favorite part of that
