What a night for the man, the myth the LEGEND Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Vladdy started off the game by hitting a bomb of Gerrit Cole to dead center field. Then the very next inning my life and every other Blue Jays fan's life flashed in front of their eyes. Aaron Hicks stepped on Vladdy's finger and it was gushing out blood.
I instantly went to defend my player. I even would donate my finger to Vladdy.
Vladdy ended up being just fine and in his very next at-bat... PLAKATA. Valldy got every bit of that baseball and crushed it to left field. His first home run almost got robbed but he made sure no one would catch this ball. The Blue Jays would have a 3-0 lead.
During his next at-bat vs Cole, Cole jumps ahead and has a 0-2 count against him. Vladdy does not panic, he just takes him the other way for a double. It was so impressive even Cole had to tip his cap to Vladdy while he was running the bases.
The Yankees end up tying the game against the Jays 3-3. It stays tied for a little until George Springer knocked in Cavan Biggio in the top of the 7th inning. The Blue Jays keep the lead heading into the 8th inning and Vladdy is up again. Pat and Buck were calling the game tonight and were talking about how Vladdy has not gone 4-4 in his career, and about his previous three home run game against Washington last year.
Then on the first pitch, Vladdy sees...PLAKATA!!! This ball is crushed to left field no doubt about it.
Vladdy put the team on his back tonight. He was not letting Toronto lose this game. It was only fitting that he caught a line drive to end the game for the Jays. The man is literally a create a player from MLB the show.
He is also letting the world know that he should have won the MVP last year. Vladdy is on a revenge tour this year and I am all for it.
