Playoff Push Vladdy!@vladdyjr27 is making a statement with his clutch plays!

Last year’s playoffs was amazing - remember Vladdy was a big big part of that! Vladdy followed that up with an amazing performance at @wbcbaseball ⚾️

September is here & we know Vladdy’s going to continue to crush it! Please don’t boo Vladdy - he’s working hard for all @bluejays fans!

We chatted with Vladdy earlier this year in Spanish (when our Spanish was still beginner level!). We talked about how much fun it was playing for @_losdominicanos at the WBC. We also asked Vladdy about him being a leader and Vladdy gave a super awesome and humble answer!

Thanks Vladdy! Our Spanish has gotten better & can’t wait to catch up next time! #vladdyjr #vladimirguerrerojr #bluejays #wbc2026 #hmkiddies1

¡Impulso a los Playoffs Vladdy!

@vladdyjr27 está haciendo una declaración con sus jugadas decisivas!

¡Los playoffs del año pasado fueron increíbles - recuerden que Vladdy fue una gran parte de eso! Vladdy siguió con una actuación increíble en @wbcbaseball ⚾️

¡Septiembre ya llegó y sabemos que Vladdy va a seguir destacando! Por favor no abucheen a Vladdy - ¡está trabajando duro por todos los fans de @bluejays!

Platicamos con Vladdy a principios de año en español (¡cuando nuestro español todavía era nivel principiante!). Hablamos sobre lo divertido que fue jugar para @_losdominicanos en el WBC. También le preguntamos a Vladdy sobre su liderazgo y ¡nos dio una respuesta súper genial y humilde!

¡Gracias Vladdy! Nuestro español ha mejorado & ¡no podemos esperar para platicar de nuevo la próxima vez! by @hmkiddies1

ERNIE needs no introduction! Most AL votes to be in the All-Star Game (probably many of our great viewers voted for Ernie too)! ⚾

Ernie persevered & we’re super happy to see him recognized as an All-Star!
⚾ Ernie is super kind! He gave us an encouraging pat on the back! Awesome and super inspiring
⚾ Ernie shared how much work goes into being an All-Star
⚾ Ernie gave a shoutout to CE Clothiers @chinedustyle for his awesome suit jacket (when he called us, my guy, that made our day!)
⚾ It was so hot our phone overheated when we asked Ernie his advice for all youth who want to be an All-Star - we’ll ask Ernie next time we see him
Thank you also to Stefanie Brejcha @stefanie_brejcha for saying hi too!

Awesome plays, including the acrobatic throw at the All-Star game! Keep making great plays @bluejays Ernie and thank you!

Congrats to Brett on his 1st MLB Home Run on Friday & another awesome home run today (Saturday)! ⚾️

Brett is awesome! We chatted with Brett before today (Saturday’s) game and we asked him to hit a home run for us! Brett chuckled, thanked us and said we’ll see. And then he hit a home run in the game! Super happy for Brett!!!

In this first segment, we talk with Brett about who got him into baseball (his awesome dad, Coach Bateman!), best advice he has received from Coach Bateman, being recognized by Buck Martinez, how it felt to hit his first MLB homer, and more! Brett is super nice and we talked about a lot!

In the second segment of our talk, we chat about the logistics of being center fielder and hitting leadoff as well as tips for leadoff hitters, and more! Youth ballplayers will want to stay tuned!

Thank you again Brett @_brettbateman for our awesome chat. Keep making great contact (and homers too!) for us! We’re cheering for you!
