That will never get old to me

[Buster]

Wow Addy

[Derwood]

Mercy

[Brian]

at first I thought it was a camera man making it look like a moon shot, and it was going to end up being a disappointment but then it never came down

[BigSlick]

Hell yeah, Addy. 20 dongers.

[Cubswin11]

I WANT 20 RUNS

[squally1313]

Haha while everyone talks about whether our first baseman or third baseman should win the MVP and which starter should get the most Cy Young votes, Addison is basically going to put up 25 home runs while playing an elite shortstop from here on out.

Back in March, I totally called a 20 HR, 90 RBI season from Russell, but I must've forgotten to post it or something

Wow.

[TruffleShuffle]

i really want russell to get to 100 rbi, for no reason in particular.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

If you could sign one of the two right now to a five year extension for the same amount of money starting after the 2021 season, is it KB or Addy?

[David]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Transmogrified Tiger]

the ESPN on screen graphics overlaid with real action make me want to scream in a pillow, because I am a crazy person about this stuff

it'll be neat to have 3 100 RBI hitters in Rizzo, Russell and Bryant

KB, and it's not even that close

[Transmogrified Tiger]

also I think some of the Little League World Series home runs went farther than that

 

they were hit by taller kids too

[sneakypower]

did we get a distance on that Russell HR

It for sure makes the Baseball Reference page look cooler.

That was my initial thought, but then I remembered that on opening day 2021 Addison will be 27 and Bryant will be 29.

 

But probably still Bryant.

whatever Altuve's was +180

KB, and it's not even that close

 

the one mitigating thing for me is the two year age gap (29 vs 27) and the fact that russell is higher up the defensive spectrum

 

but i'd still say bryant

Hahaha. I mean, yes. But the question is designed to make you have to chose between your two kids.
