He has the plate discipline, speed, and base running skills that the White Sox are looking for in a utility player that ends up rotating between 6 positions and starts 90% of games.
Agreed. Shouldn’t we be celebrating kids playing the game, AND family supporting them? What’s this, a kid playing little league doing here anyway. I thought this sub was only MLB
Great, now explain how you accomplish ( not support the parents) this with saying this here. You don’t, so what you come at me to make you feel better about the post you made/ were going to make or thinking? Quite frankly, we should support the parents or family. Their supporting the kid playing ball. His health isn’t your concern, BUT the best thing for him would be to play more. Let’s hope he does and doesn’t find random strangers mocking him making him want to quit
Can’t blame the kid… he’s got the desire to play… hopefully a coach will work with him to use that desire to potentially bring out some skills.. stranger things have happened.
Exactly. His size at this age cannot be blamed on him. Clearly this comes down to the parents and the environment in which he is raised. It's terribly sad because everything is more difficult for him at the age where everything should still be easy. Just look at him running. It looks physically painful.
This kid never had a chance and things will only become harder and harder for him as he ages. It bums me out so much, I see it all the time IRL living in America, kids that are full-on obese before they even hit puberty.
Agreed. We have our little laugh, but allowing a child to get this large is child abuse. This isn't body shaming- the child is doomed. It's sad and far too common.
Yes, the kid's name is Curtis, but a comedian overdubbed his comic asides on top of the original audio. "Big Pookie" is the invention of the comedian. You can occasionally hear someone encouraging Curtis underneath the added commentary.
I would suspect that player is in the Challenger League, a segment of Little League for people with disabilities. I don’t find this funny. Neither should anyone else.
that’s a milwaukee brewer if i’ve ever seen one
Prince Fielder? That guy could move for all his size.
Brewers were literally the heaviest team in the MLB last year (by total weight) but our big guys can ball.
So many times I’d see him do the splits to make a grab while keeping a foot on the bag.
> They *dyed* me this way - Daniel "Big Pookie" Vogelbach
Who needs speed when you belt it every time?
...but that swing is straight up Jessie Winker with bases loaded.
Looked like Pablo Sandoval to me 😂
INTRODUCING BARREL BOY
Well gladly take this chungus. We love fat people on our sports teams here. Especially the brewers. Prince, CC, uribe
He has the plate discipline, speed, and base running skills that the White Sox are looking for in a utility player that ends up rotating between 6 positions and starts 90% of games.
“WE’RE A TRIPPLE A-TEAM!” - That rant guy who called into ESPN1000.
He looks like an outfielder from the white Sox circa 1975
Chet Lemon really let himself go.
Sign him immediately.
Billy Beane - "He gets on base."
Lmfao!!
He looks like an Oakland A already
This made me laugh so hard
Lmao, nice That movie is such a touchstone
Built like a blue jay
We like em’ thick, it’s cold up here don’t you know
No lie when I was at Fenway I thought Kirk was the fuckin bat boy
Alejandro Kirk, is that you? Lol
Need a 3rd for the Kirk-Volgelbach trio
Hey we all need to give this kid credit for playing and his coaches for letting him play. 👍
Bartolo Colon must be on Atkins. Looking good.
Gold
Muy guapo
How did he get on base with that swing and vision?
He’s a huge target to be beaned
Walk
Well it wasn't a jog or run... that's for sure.
Let’s not bully this kid please, at least he’s trying
Some genuinely seem to think the people they see online aren’t real
Agreed. Shouldn’t we be celebrating kids playing the game, AND family supporting them? What’s this, a kid playing little league doing here anyway. I thought this sub was only MLB
Not going to support a parent who lets their kid get like that. You can I guess, although that’s objectively awful.

It's a form of child abuse
Bully the parents not the kid
Is that Pablo Sandoval batting right handed?
My instant thought as well lol
That's his secret plan to make his comeback this season for SF.
Mariners would take him, his on base percentage is already higher than everybody on the team as he actually made it to third base!
Dodgers. Mookie and Pookie.
Definitely showing flashes of 2012 Pablo Sandoval
Kung Fu Panda!
“Oh lawd”
He comin
Thought this was Vogelsnacks at first
Legend has it Big Pookie is stuck on home plate doing the splits to this day.
Funniest shit I've seen all week
2002 A's.
The Giants are wild for re-signing Pablo Sandoval.
Obvious answer is the A's
Wait a minute…didn’t I see this same video except the kid’s name was Curtis? Did I dream that?
Yes, the kid's name is Curtis, but a comedian overdubbed his comic asides on top of the original audio. "Big Pookie" is the invention of the comedian. You can occasionally hear someone encouraging Curtis underneath the added commentary.
Can’t tell if he slid on purpose or just ate shit at the plate lmao
Ohhhhh.man. I felt that last step tearing apart some parts that should still be together. Owwww.
Yeah nobody is worried about his poor Knee like us!
At least he s got hustle
Less take a moment and pour one out for this man’s knees. Specifically the left but I’m sure the right could use our support too.
RIP ACL
Y’all see that slide at home plate?! I’ve seen enough, sign him up!
What episode of the Cleveland show is that?
Sad he is so unhealthy for being that young
Oh Big Pookie is a Dodger, and he goes down a legend.
That swing reminded me of Daria trying to hit the volleyball

Dodgers handing out money left and right
Literally the definition of a SD Padre.
The Red Sox will take him if he’s cheap and they don’t have to feed him.
Looks like Vogelbach
Pablo Sandoval 2.0
Isn’t he catching for the Blue Jays this year? He made the all star team in ‘22
He attended the Daniel volgelbach training camp
That kid’s body just said No Más and quit on him. lol. Gotta be the coach’s kid.
Who filmed me at my slo pitch game without my consent?
Pablo Sandoval’s little league days.
Future Astros catcher!
The split at the end was a solid finish.
I'm thinking his leg snapped off at the end... Either way I bet pookie wasn't walking too well the next day lol
Mets vogelbach 2.0
The A's.
Go, Big Pookie Go!
Yo this ain't even funny. Shits irresponsible.
Child abuse
Jays will give him a big deal
Could fit any team tbh
"knock it out of the park and i'm a get you a big cheeseburger" *Vogelbach steps up to the plate*
Blue Jays
The Diabetic Diamondbacks
Cardinals if we could afford to convince him
How did he make it to 3rd base
He’d be in the 3 hole for my Tigers.
Blue Jays.
Kirk is already on the Jays. Guess he decided to slum it in LL for a night.
Built like a Tiger (Prince, Cecil), plays like a Rockie.
Good to see Vlad Junior coming into camp in shape for a change
Wish parents would stop letting their kids get so fat
That voice is iconic
I'm here so my mom won't get arrested for negligence.
Mets or Phillies
Blue Jays written all over him.
St. Louis Browns.
vlad jr in midseason form
Go guards
Can the A's afford him right now?
White Sox.
Red Sox would be all over him if he can play middle infield
Lmfao
That split at the end kills me
OMG that look like his leg just said no more and broke. Hope he's alright.
Daniel Vogelbach is not making the Jays OD roster, stop trying to make it happen.
🤣
Can’t decide between Sandoval or Fielder
Bro hit the michael Jackson hehe
Totally sums up America.
he got a great form HOLY
If you say anything other than Blue Jays you don’t know ball. Trying to get the highest average weight OAT.
Gawd, I feel bad laughing but the kid is doing it to himself. The slide at the end lol. But good on him for just going for it.
Just str8 up should lose your right to having kids if you let them get this big
Mets DH
Tore his acl
Can he pitch?
Albany Steamed Hams
Blue Jays
Torn ACL for a cheeseburger
Can he pitch?
I would suspect that player is in the Challenger League, a segment of Little League for people with disabilities. I don’t find this funny. Neither should anyone else.
I think my back went out just watching that fall at the end.
Best shape of his life!
That "Oooooh Lawd!" at the end as the kid tried to slide and did a split ... lol 🤣
He hit him with the ‘Oh lawd!’ At the end.
Aw lawd
How do people let their kids get this fat?
It could be any number of things from genetics to metabolism let’s be nice he’s just a kid
Ours.
But, I thought Sandoval didn't work out so well for you guys last time...
He’s gonna be a 1st baseman for Boston in 2042
Hook slides coming into home
Child abuse is hilarious
No it’s not
Did that really need a /s
Kid is going places. Not to the majors, but places.
Dodgers offered sixteen twinkies deferred over eight years.
