1. The guy is living the dream. He just passed a living legend.

2. 

3. It’s insane he did this with T-Mobile as his home park, as opposed to Griffey, Jr. playing his home games at the Kingdome.

4. You can actually see Framber Valdez’s next contract amount going down in real time in each of the last few starts he’s made. Ever since he pulled that cross-up bullshit with Salazar he has been slumping hard

5. I’m a Cub’s fan but how can you not love “Big Dumper”?

6. Wow hell of a season.

7. MVP

8. ~9 of Raleigh’s homers this year weren’t really earned, where his *expected-HRs* is really only 47 [per Statcast](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/home-runs?player_type=Batter&team=&min=0&cat=xhr&year=2025&sort=xhr_diff&sortDir=desc)

   He’s had the most of these cheap HRs of any player in the last 5 years

9. BIG DUMPER

10. Seeing everyone in the next month calling whoever wins the MVP a robber will be so funny

11. There’s a new Kid in town

12. 121 strike outs in each year and hit .284 in the lowest of the two, so if he just let it rip everytime…..

13. I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t win MVP. What a season Big Dumper 👏🏼

14. *Mariners.

15. I really hope he hits at least 60 man

16. Incredibly quick to that ball. Great cut

17. You can’t not love this guy. Happy he’s having the year he’s having.

18. Unbelievable

19. DUMPER

20. MVP
