I have never seen anything like last night’s Home Run Derby. Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. put on quite the show and Joc Peterson exceeded all expectations by matching Guerrero until the very end.(There should be a special award given to both for their off the chart performances.) It was amazingly fun to watch and I loved seeing fans, our Dodgers (and some of their kids), as well as Joc’s family, supporting Joc. Last night, Joc was a complete home run hitting stud! Wow!!!
Going forward it would be good if Joc got more consistent playing time but I am not sure Dodgers will allow him to do so because of his issue with LHP
