What is this you're talking about?

SN showed a clip of an on field session Vlady working on his hitting with Mattingly.

I'm sure Popkins and Vlad talk and do drills together friendo, Mattingly is just implementing the drill they told him too. Mattingly's a bird.

Besides puffing yourself up with this strawman argument; do you seriously believe that anyone would be happy with or expects us  "scraping into the post season in order to make a quick exit"?  

This comment is dripping with condescion.  You can do better.

Get in and win, meat.  I believed they were a contender, not division leader and possibly MLB's best.

lol... the Jays believed in Springer/Kirk as they did with Barger, they signed and acquired them?

If Vlad was doing what he did last season as he did in '21, this team would be the best in MLB a contender, get a few arms within 8 days and we ARE a contender as we are at the moment and will get better.  Give your head a shake.            

 

This team was trending downward since 2021. If you were happy with this team then you were happy with scraping into the playoffs. They clearly were not a great team especially in the past couple of years. 

Especially last year, terrible year. 

I was here at the beginning of the season, I saw everyone's expectations for this team, people figured they might squeeze into a second or third wild card at best. And that's not factoring all the things that went wrong this season.

Now everybody wants to dunk as if they saw this coming, nobody saw THIS coming. Congrats Spanky, your blind cheerleading might have finally hit the jackpot.

I'm thrilled, some incredible things have happened to put us in this position and now we are legitimately a couple of pieces away from an actual World Series contender.

Sorry my expectations are World Series contender, your expectations are scraping into the postseason in order to make a quick exit. So what the hell are you on point about?

I guess by your mediocre standards you're right lol.

By my standards I'm right, this team's not been close for a team that sells itself as a World Series contender. 

By the way, I was a huge fan of the 2021 team. My only criticism is that they should have gone all in because that was obviously a World Series contender with one or two key pieces especially if they added better bullpen arms and sooner. It's the teams since then that have been a problem.

If you predicted that Springer and Kirk were going to have bounce back All-Star caliber campaigns, that Barger was going to emerge the way that he has, that Laurer was going to essentially save our rotation, that we would get so many contributions from bit players, go ahead and dunk, but you didn't see all this coming, nobody did.

I'm thrilled with doing well, I really am, I want to win a World Series, but this team has exceeded all expectations because things happened that we didn't think would happen. 

All that being said: Vlad is still a problem. If he were doing what he was capable of doing we might be one or two pieces away from actually being a serious World Series contender this year with the way things have fallen in place. 

 

He’s been a Leafs fan all his life. What do you expect. He’s happy with a 1st or 2nd round Playoff Exit and no Stanley Cup to show 😅
