Seems you haven't been paying attention.

To be honest, I wasn't on this. I guess that's why it was spread over 14 years so the AAV stays the same but we may eat the last few years. I guess by then $34M won't be as big of a deal.

These Hoffman/Thanos bobblehead ads are a cringe fest.

I wish Fish would throw his fastball a bit more. 

It's a bad pitch despite good velo

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

Nobody goes to the ballpark to watch Vlad. People go if the team is winning. I could have bought that argument with Ohtani, he's a unicorn. Not with Vlad. 

[Terminator]

Lukes' hit tool ❤️

[gruber9292]

Lukes has the makings of a pretty decent lead off hitter. 

[Masterbather]

Lucky he didn't f*** us again.

[hanton]

I swear that's a negative attack angle

[gruber9292]

Vladdy just can't hit the ball in the air 

[gruber9292]

Holy f*** we got bad luck today 

[bronson44]

what a frustrating game

[Omar]

Houser is on an expiring contract and can likely be gotten for cheap before the trade deadline.

[Spanky__99]

Vlad has to stop there? lmao

this is really not true

[Jays24]

Vladdy is the DUMBEST player in baseball. How the f*** are you this stupid at a sport you play everyday!!!

Exactly 

[Laika]

Vlad vlad vlad. Classic vlad day. Horrible baserunning and pounding everything into the dirt. 

[Masterbather]

If Vlad just got caught in a run down there it's a tie game. We're not getting the breaks today.

Show me the evidence? All Star players have never made a difference in Toronto. Winning is what makes a difference.

[gruber9292]

Nice play Barger

The face of the franchise has an IQ of 17

[glory]

Just a reminder that this is year 1 of 15 post extension, with 14 more years after this one. Ed Rogers was on crack when he agreed to that contract. 

Oh well, hold them to 2 runs and get Houser out of the game.

I'm sure somebody who needs rotation depth will pick him up. But there's a lot of smoke and mirrors there.

[Stangstag]

Why was Lauer pulled so early?? I guess since we have an offday tomorrow… still seems dumn

[hanton]

Fisher/Heineman probably not calling their own pitches, I also don't get not using his FB a little more
