I remember his work ethic was in question when he came to camp overweight a couple years back. I wonder if after his monster season he started to take things for granted a little bit. Still, can't really complain about 13 dingers at this point in the season. Hopefully he goes on a tear again

 

He’s simply having timing issues.

4 for 4... wow Kirk

[EdwinsParrot]

Kirky cannot be stopped

[Dylan]

Kirk!! This is fun to watch

[Effit]

Can’t get Kirk out. lol

[Daniel Labude]

No one's crying. Fans are just hoping he would've continued where he left off last year. Still lots of time to turn things around and no ones panicking. Just something that's worth discussing.

 

No one's crying lol. Every AB that isn't a homer results in posts like yours, usually much worse

[Stangstag]

Kirk didn’t get a double off that??? Lol

[Jays24]

It's time for Vladdy to give the keys to the franchise to Kirk lol

[RobinThicc]

All ⭐ kirk

[Spanky99]

Now that was a lucky hit by Kirk.

 

DUCK SNORT!!!

[JaysAllMighty]

Espy is hot

[Daniel Labude]

He’s simply having timing issues.

 

Yep and the last week has seen a great improvement. Super ground ball pitcher tonight but tones of hard hit balls. Its all good and trending in the right direction at the right time

[Stangstag]

Is it really 134 lol. Thats what Soto's is lol. Changed a lot in the last week

 

Probably dropped a bunch from tonight, 2 GIDPs

[Omar]

The Captain is at the helm.

[RobinThicc]

Now that was a lucky hit by Kirk.

No it wasnt

[5ToolPhenom]

Damn man, Kirk's one of the funnest guys in the league to watch right now. In the words of Fangraphs, he may have the physique of a bowling ball but the guy can hit!

[Jays24]

Bo/Vladdy? Nah!! give me Kirk/Espinal lol

[JaysAllMighty]

have no fear, Tapia is here

[Stangstag]

No one's crying lol. Every AB that isn't a homer results in posts like yours, usually much worse

 

I think most of us just whine about the double plays. Complete rally killers, it’s understandable

[vaff]

There are going to be a lot of confused people when they first see Kirk at the all star game.

[Dylan]

have no fear, Tapia is here

 

I swear there are runners on every time he is up. He's come through a few times lately!

[Spanky99]

No it wasnt

 

It was a duck snort off the end of his bat, yes it was. I'm not slamming the guy, bro?

[Jays24]

I think most of us just whine about the double plays. Complete rally killers, it’s understandable

 

We're comparing Vladdy to the leagues best so it's understandable to be harder on him. These are the expectations you set once you are supposed to be a MVP candidate every year going forward.

[Effit]

Damn man, Kirk's one of the funnest guys in the league to watch right now. In the words of Fangraphs, he may have the physique of a bowling ball but the guy can hit!

 

He has really rounded into form, dude is rolling!

[Daniel Labude]

Probably dropped a bunch from tonight, 2 GIDPs

 

Don't worry, Soto went hitless again

[John_Havok]

Hold the phone, might get a lucky break if Tapia is injured.

[JaysAllMighty]

Hold the phone, might get a lucky break if Tapia is injured.

 

It would only mean more of zimmer

[5ToolPhenom]

I think most of us just whine about the double plays. Complete rally killers, it’s understandable

 

Exactly. Fans wanna see the centerpiece of the lineup have productive at bats. When Vladdy comes to the plate with runners on base, people get excited so the letdown of a double play is obvious.

[Daniel Labude]

I think most of us just whine about the double plays. Complete rally killers, it’s understandable

 

It sucks. Josh Bell and Maikel Franco lead baseball with 12. Vlad had 9 now 11. Half of baseball is tied with 7. It isn't great, but not as bad as you all make it

[Daniel Labude]

Hold the phone, might get a lucky break if Tapia is injured.

 

Zimmer would play more...so not really
