GDT: 3/4 Blue Jays @ Guardians (Indians) 7:07

You're better off hoping he figures it out. You won't get much for him if he continues at this pace.

 

While that is true, I do not believe Vlad's character gives me hope. He seems to think he is still good based on how he carries himself.

[gruber92]

We aren't playing at Sahlen Field anymore. Those days are long gone.

 

How about the fact that put in some work and came to camp 20 lbs lighter. He put that back on and maybe even topped up a bit more. He's lazy minded and loves to eat. He's financially set for life no matter what. Zero motivation.

[Omar]

second on the team in pitches per plate appearance, Chapman is 1st

 

Surprising. i would have though Belt would be at the top.

[jaysguy44]

Barfshow is better than what they were calling him before which was Trasho.

Meh, both are dumb

Even if he motivated himself this offseason, changed his swing, slimmed down, you can't trust him to keep the same process after giving him a massive extension.

 

You honestly need to hope he turns it around and we can trade him for a haul next season.

Sahlen field dimensions are fairly standard. It may be that Vlad just can't perform in front of major league crowds.

 

Numbers in minor league parks in both the minor leagues and the Covid seasons are insane. Numbers in major league parks suck. Gotta be in his head. See's the bright lights, the second deck, the MLB quality clubhouse and he becomes useless.

 

Would probably hit amazing and be happy if they did send him to Indy ball without pressure.

His character? Apparently they have multiple coaches and brought in multiple former players to talk to him about approach. And he flat out dismisses anything they tell him.

[Delgalladay]

Swing the bat man

[Jonn]

Once again were asking the pitching staff to be perfect because the offense can't score runs consistently.

[tossingthiscoin]

I don't know how this team scored more than 10 runs per game in the Red Sox series.

[Daniel Labude]

See all the trolls are posting tonight lmao

An anomaly. They barely averaged 4 hits/game the Baltimore series

[JFD]

See all the trolls are posting tonight lmao

 

 

[Carlos Danger]

You can’t talk about the team’s low ERA and then not acknowledge the significant defensive improvements the FO have have made in most cases that is a significant factor in the low team ERA

[Daniel Labude]

An anomaly. They barely averaged 4 hits/game the Baltimore series

 

More like they faced 2 bullpen games out of 3 and the BOS bullpen sucks

[Captain_Obvious]

See all the trolls are posting tonight lmao

 

 

0.2 WAR superstar. LOL.

[Daniel Labude]

 

He took a wrong turn trying to take a crap and is now a Yankee for life

[jaysguy44]

Damn Kirky, so damn slow

[keggy]

Guerrero isn't even providing surplus value on his ARB1 salary. Cody Bellinger was non-tendered for less than this

[hanton]

Surprising. i would have though Belt would be at the top.

 

should have clarified, removing the qualified filter Belt is ahead of Kirk, in 2022 among all qualified Jays Chapman/Kirk were 1/2

[tossingthiscoin]

Dejong always looks overmatched.

[JFD]

Atta boy Kirk. At least one of our fatty's has a brain

[Captain_Obvious]

It is well into the negative.

[Daniel Labude]

0.2 WAR superstar. LOL.

 

[Steeljays]

Such terrible ABs with runner on. Their approach is atrocious. DeJong should try to bunt everytime

[Jonn]

f*** you Kwanathan

[Blastttoff]

Paul DeSwungandmiss & Daulton Noshow to the rescue of course

[Omar]

How do we know this?

[jaysguy44]

Varsho is so solid defensively

[BlueJays]

lmao
