saucy… that nl ballot is ridiculous. Albert Pujols is the best hitter in baseball and Yadier Molina is the best catcher hands down in baseball

It’s a Portuguese surname – his mother is of Italian ancestry.

“Anyone know the national origin of the name? I guessed Portuguese because I knew a family of Brazilian/Portuguese descent named Pereira, which seemed similar”

It sounds Portuguese to me. I wonder if he’s Italian also? It could be Brazilian but sounds more Portuguese than anything

Prediction:
AJ goes 6 innings and gives up 3 runs.
Ace, Robertson,and Coke all pitch tonight.
Yankees win 6-5 with a 2 run jack off Pap in the 9th.
It’s 50/50 if Mo pitches in the 9th.
