Home Run Derby at 5:00 pm today.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. not in it, by choice, but we get to see what Shohei Ohtani's all about. Hopefully he doesn't get the jitters.
Tomorrow's All Star Game will feature three Blue Jays starters and Pretty Bo Bichette as a reserve player.

Holy carp, Pete Alonso is totally in the groove........... he's in another dimension. Ripping it out of the park in the high 400's. He hit a couple of 500+ footers in the first round.
BTW, Ohtani hit 500+ footers 6 times in extra time, even though he didn't advance.
I hope Mancini does well. Stage three colon cancer survivor. What a story.

Alonso defends his title. The real winner in my books is Trey Mancini. There's life after cancer..........
Alonso makes $676,775 a year as a player. He wins a cool million for winning the derby. He's done it twice, lol.
In real games, he has 17 home runs with a batting average of .250 https://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/playe...eRuns/dir/desc

The American League fielding quite the lineup.
Ohtani, then Guerrero. If that weren't enough, Aaron Judge is in there.

The Canadian National Anthem was, meh. Star Mangled Banner was typical. Bombs bursting in air stars and stripes making its way onto the field then the flyby.
Full capacity crowd and not a mask in sight. Pandemic, what pandemic, lol.
Go, AL, GO!

"Stand Up to Cancer." Always so touching to see. So many individuals and families affected by it. Doesn't matter if you're black, white, Asian, gay, transgender, young, old, etc. Cancer is the common enemy.

Vladdy Jr. earns the MVP award. Father did it in 2006. Vladdy Jr. is the youngest recipient of the honour.
Nice bat!
Nice photo op......... four Blue Jays with Vladdy holding the Ted Williams MVP bat.

I guess nobody will ever find out the real reason behind Junior's decision to opt out of this year's home run derby.
The one given is really weird. Shhhh...........quiet........ forefinger to mouth as he rounds the bases.

Vladdy has not missed a single game so far this season. He stated once, he wants to play and give this team his everything. 100% dedication.
Bull pen and rotation getting plenty of rest. Next game day is Friday.

That's a totally legit reason and I'm glad he wasn't in the derby.
Remember 2017, Aaron Judge, led the league in HRs, then won the derby, and after the derby his numbers completely collapsed. Then he refused to participate in the derby ever again.

Speaking of Aaron Judge, the game last night was cancelled due to a few players testing positive, including Aaron Judge. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/y...d-in-protocol/

Last night's game against the Texas Rangers was rained out, so it's a double header today. Game one just started. Since it's a double header, both games are 7 inning games.
Hyun Jin Ryu in todays rotation. BTW, Vladdy hit two home runs in Friday's game.
Go, Jays, GO!
