If you want to skip go to the 1:10 mark. Hitting the ball and hitting line drives is all he is trying to do or will do. Not about launch angle. He is a hitter. Once he gets the line drives going the HRs will come

 

They talked today about him being off balanced. Correcting that is the first move. Then getting line drives

 

If only it was 2021.:(

My fantasy team has 4 for 5 with 2 HRs and 4 RBIs already from Bo, George and Kirk.. so there's about a 90 % chance the game gets rained out and none of the stats count :mad:

He will get it back. They know something has been causing him to be off and are working on it. Despite that he has 4 HRs this month, should have been 5

 

Good thing is, he isn't needed to be 2021 Vlad at this exact moment

Vladdy is having a terrible year for barrelling up the ball, hence his launch angle is s***. 2021 he was top ten in barrel % most of the year. This year he barely cracking the top 50! As I said, he has to get his s*** together.

Pretty sure with covid there are no more rain outs after the game is started. Just suspended games

Yep. Which starts with getting back on balance and hitting the ball hard, which appears to be looking much more balanced tonight

 

Edit: 36th in Barrel% this year. Last year he was 15th. Once he gets it going this should normalize quicker imo

He should literally try to hit fly balls every time

 

He would hit 60 homers every year

Agreed. Apparently he has tried at different times and it hasn't worked well so he sticks with the line drive approach. At 23 still plenty of time to work on it hopefully. Maybe next season he starts out with that mindset and it works

Resort and look at Brls/BBe% or Brls/Pa%

ElRod looks like he's throwing pitches for the HR contest at the allstar game.

Despite this past week, I'm still not used to us having big leads. Anything more than a two run lead seems wrong.

Biggio has a .350 OBP with his terrible average. That’s a very playable player despite all the s*** he gets here lol
