Gdt: Vladdy's first dinger @ san francisco giants

[P2F]

You're right, I can't tell if they updated it or I messed up upon first glance. Obviously it's the former since I've never been wrong.

 

I hear you. There was this one time I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

[Jonn]

Young Beedah!

[gruber92]

His defense has been impeccable, he made one small blunder on what was already a tough play. His offense has obviously been very underwhelming but we shouldn't just criticize him for everything. He's made big strides on the defensive end.

 

I agree he has. He has to get to a point where a called breaking ball in the dirt has to be reacted by dropping to his knees and squaring up, not trying to short hop it on the back hand.

[P2F]

Radio Scouts podcast recording to Vlad homer ratio is 1:1.

 

We should record every game.

[gruber92]

f*** you ump.

[Deadpool]

Eat a dick Ump, that was not a strike.

[Orgfiller]

The ump f***ed over Jonathan Davis.

In the ESPN game last night there was extended discussion on how teams are willing to let catchers prioritize framing over blocking....which is leading to more wild pitches and pass balls.

 

It might have been Grandpa Rossy talking s*** though.

[Jonn]

Buck and Pat really in full agreement that more players should bunt lmao

[Brownie19]

Buck and Tabby just can't miss an opportunity to talk about the opener and how an old school guy like Bochy hates it (even though Bochy is using it) in a smug tone (after the opener gives up 3 runs).

 

Makes me want to puke.

 

Oh f***...here we go with the discussion on how players are and SHOULD bunt more against the shift. Thick with smugness.

[Deadpool]

Sandoval should definitely bunt here.

[Brownie19]

Young Beedah!

 

He certainly passes the eye test for me...

[Deadpool]

Told you, he should have bunted.

[Brownie19]

Pablo's a national league type of player

Prioritizing framing over blocking doesn't make sense to me. It should be instinctive and automatic that a catcher drops down to block a pitch in the dirt and taught from a young age.

[Superdood]

Buck has called Oracle park Oriole park at least 3 times already, he's so drunk.

[Jonn]

Atta boy Trent!

Guess which one earns the team more runs?

[Deadpool]

Thornton is clearly the best hitter on the team now.

[Jonn]

Ho Man here comes Vladdy

[Orgfiller]

I'll never get tired of watching Eric Sogard mash.

[Jonn]

Mans thicker than a bowl of Oatmeal

[Deadpool]

Pudge Rodrigues was 19 years and 295 years old when he hit his first homer, guys.

[Jonn]

Jesus Christ he hit that so hard

[Orgfiller]

That was demolished, god damn.

[tbad]

Jesus... 120

[Jonn]

Vladdy looking good man! Love it!

[saskjayfan]

great game for Vlad.

[Jonn]

Come on Smoak break out of this slump big boi

[Orgfiller]

Lol Trent Thornton had no idea what the f*** the jacket was for.
