I don't even know what's going on here, but I tried to play into it blindly, fellas.

I actually checked the back of the press box.

There were none available just yet.

I'm opening it up.

No, fellas, I just had to jiggle the dial up here, you know.

I liked hearing that.

Oh, dog, with one on the road, I'm picturing you just holding the Snickers between your fingers like a dart out the window.

Instead of ash, it's the wrapper.

Just flick some caramel out, you know.

Absolutely.

I think we've established that Vladdy's not going to be the 48 homer guy again, and that's okay.

Maybe it happens once or twice down the road eventually when you have that much power, it can.

But even when Vladdy was coming up as a prospect, what people would tell you over and over is that he's more of a hitter than a power guy.

And even back then when Vladdy was 18 or 19, I'd say, nah, come on, just shut up.

Power's way more fun to talk about.

Let's focus on power.

But Vladdy hitting like he is right now is a damn valuable baseball player.

And it's not showing up with big, loud moments.

It's not showing up with big home runs.

And as long as you're hitting 300-plus, that's okay.
