GDT: Blue Jays @ Red Sox (Game 3 of 3) June 23rd 13:05 EST

[Ex Player]

Why would he tell the media this lmao

Yeah you're right, players never discuss their injuries with the media

[Spanky99]

How do you know how his hand is doc? Takes from your ass.

 

Cause he was HBP less than a week ago, is using a hand guard and missed near two full games because of said HBP?

[gruber92]

Disagree. To me looks like he's just trying too hard.

 

He hasnt said anything in the news that his hand is still bothering him (at least AFAIK)

 

Even if his hand is bothering him, he wouldn't say anything. He wants to play.

[Ex Player]

Ex player's know this, bro!

Spanky, assuming you and LTBF are right and his hand is bothering him, werent you the one saying his contusion would heal in just a couple of days??

[Spanky99]

Yeah you're right, players never discuss their injuries with the media

 

LOL... several days ago you said he'd be out 2 months! *facepalm*

[Daniel Labude]

This is what it looks like when you all keep making up things that are wrong with Vlad, his swing, attitude, mindset, etc

[Jimcanuck]

Exactly the game from Stro the Jays need. Some phone calls will follow.

[Bobthe4th]

How many people have issue with his contract? A few mouth breathers maybe...

 

Plenty of people because of its length. However, even if he sucks for a couple of years it should still be easy to move him (because the contract is relatively cheap) and let another team hope he breaks out.

[DigitalRock]

Vladdie is pulling his head away when he swings

Lol so you don't know s***. Stop obsessing like a freak over every Vlad post. He doesn't need a white knight.

[Spanky99]

And I was right, guys play hurt if they can all the time, it's not rocket science bud.

[Ex Player]

Unlikely he would be benched even if his hand was still bothering him a bit. Players do play through pain you know

[Ex Player]

And I was right, guys play hurt if they can all the time, it's not rocket science bud

Yeah, but if he's playing through pain and not producing because of the pain (like you claim), we are hardly "dodging a bullet" like you also claimed

[Barkerfan23]

Guirrel and Biggio are bringing a lot of hope here. Vlad will be fine

[Ex Player]

LOL... several days ago you said he'd be out 2 months! *facepalm*

No, I said it could take up to 2 months for it to heal

[DigitalRock]

The Jay's would sit him if he has a bruise lol. Their most prized prospect ever who gets load management days. He would not be playing through anything in a lost season.

[gruber92]

Biggio hit two bullets right and Betts today. Kid looks good.

[Daniel Labude]

Lol so you don't know s***. Stop obsessing like a freak over every Vlad post. He doesn't need a white knight.

 

You all need to stop being overly moronic trolls on every AB. He is 20 just got smashed the hand, using new equipment he probably hasnt used in the hand guard, and seeing very little hittable pitches because pitchers have been nearly perfect against him. His swing is getting more agressive this week trending back to his healthy swing....next week we should see him have an off day and hopefully come back with no hand guard and start hitting like before or working his way to it

 

If he was pressing he would be swinging at pitches no where near the plate...he isnt

 

If he had a long swing he would be missing pitches in the zone...he isnt

 

If his swing was a tad late or slow he would be fouling off pitches and letting the ball travel further then normal....he is

 

What makes a swing slow. Sore hand and new equipment on the hand....facts

[Daniel Labude]

Biggio hit two bullets right and Betts today. Kid looks good.

 

Nah he got out. He sucks...needs to make adjustments. His swing looks long, send him down to fix his launch angle. Cant be hitting line drives in the Majors

[Spanky99]

[Ex Player]

Dumbo Ears dealing the 95mph fastballs

[Carlos Danger]

Not sure who frustrates me more or who I think sucks more.. Biaginni or Grichuck.

 

I think if I had to choose, Biaginni..

[Bobthe4th]

Always fun winning a series at Fenway.

[Carlos Danger]

Good series win boys!!

 

Biggio = Ben Zobrist. I told y’all so!

[Daniel Labude]

It's scary when me and Spanky agree on stuff...that's how crazy you all are posting right now lmao

[gruber92]

Are you suggesting i'm one of the people who are being pessimistic on Vlad?

[Ex Player]

Not sure who frustrates me more or who I think sucks more.. Biaginni or Grichuck.

 

I think if I had to choose, Biaginni..

Uhm, he pitched 1 inning without giving up an ER and struck out 2.

 

Whats wrong with that??

[Ex Player]

It's scary when me and Spanky agree on stuff...that's how crazy you all are posting right now lmao

Not really, you are claiming to know how Vlad's hand feels right now and thats just absurd, doctor

[Daniel Labude]

This is so crazy look at this pitches Acuna and Soto hit out today

 

 

Can you get more dead center than that lmao

 

Edit: Here is Gurriel and LeMahieu's HRs lmao

 

 

Edit 2...added Eloy today as well lmao

Haha, no. Just used your post as a transition

Nah, not that many, most liked it. I agree with the latter.
