I still find very odd that he doesn't know english considering where he spent most of his youth.
But....he has to be tired....my goodness that was unreal.

He does know english but he's not comfortable using it in interviews. That's why the interviewer usually asks questions in english without a translator.

His dad was the same way. Even today he uses an interpreter despite playing in the bigs for ~20 years.

Yeah, but Vladdy Sr learned English in Montréal.

Vlad vs Alonso in the final.
If the first two rounds were any indication Vlad should win this easily unless he's gassed, but you never know I guess.

It's a little anti-climatic in this semi-final. Neither of them chasing 30

Looks like Alanso should have this, with a fraction of Vladdys dingers

That’s a garbage result. Vladdy outpaced Alonso by 30 on the night. There should be some sort of Aggregate taken into account.

Alonso wins 57 to 91
Lol
Not the greatest format thats for sure.
Entertaining but pretty easy to end up crowning the wrong winner

Alonso should give half his winnings to Pederson for wearing out Vladdy

It's like the US electoral college of home runs.

Alonso can hoist the trophy but Vlad stole the show.

Alonso could have dropped 30 that last round, and that’s with a pitcher bouncing some pitches
Polar bear is a beast and I wish they went at full strength in the finals

At the very least Vlad should have went second in the final. Give Alonso a reason to try and hit 30 in a round himself...

Should be an advantage in the finals for the guy that hit more coming in IMO.
At the very least he should get to go last.
