The thing you guys don't understand about Vladdy is that he thinks he's actually really good on the basepaths.

I mean this off season coming up in free agency. Nobody else would offer him that much and he wants to stay here. Management messed up that one. 

[Masterbather]

Feels like we should've had multiple runs by now. 

Hopefully this doesn't come back to but our ass.

Have faith young one

Lauer needs to limit the damage and get through 5 or 6. 

The bats will wake up today.

[Terminator]

I'm not even slightly worried

There's no proof of that, stop. 

[Laika]

nobody should care about Vlad's salary 

this is not a small or mid-market team

BS argument. There is a salary limit to this team and he's working against it. Otherwise let's just sign everyone for $500 million.

Assets acquired for him and the money that was used for him could have combined for something better than him. 

[neverbeenhere]

this ends the streak

nah that's too bean county 

it's okay to have an overpaid player that a) has palpable upside and b) is good for marketing or other stuff

Seems you haven't been paying attention.

[Terminator]

I refuse to engage in Vlad arguments when we are in first place and in the middle of a 10 game win streak

Fisher:  "you want to crowd the plate mofo? "

[hanton]

That is a strike

[Masterbather]

I wish Fish would throw his fastball a bit more.
