He has played out of his mind this year and I am ecstatic that he broke Bench's record. I would love to see him break Soler's as well. But outside HR's and RBIs, Vlad Jr. leads him in every other statistical category. Vlad has a higher BA, more hits, higher SLG, higher OBA which combines for a higher OPS, more walks (by a lot), fewer strikeouts (by a lot), and a higher WAR. Perez has been outstanding this year and it's not taking anything away from him by acknowledging that while acknowledging that Vlad Jr. has had a better season at the plate than him and more deserving of MVP (although in this case it's irrelevant because it's probably going to Ohtani).

Salvador Perez just met with media members. Said he's feeling better. Fell on his ankle. Joked "like a kid." As for the next four games, he said he would go old school — tape and pills. He was smiling, so overjoyed about the crowd and the curtain call in front of family.

Had a lot more horsepower behind those swings, if you know what I mean. [Reply]

Well, they did have "help" and they played in smaller ballparks. [Reply]
