Oh I'd pull the useless tit.  I'd push him in front of the next train too if I could.

Can also exploring trade with the Padres or Dback, Vlad for Tattis or Marte

More HRS than Vladdy lol

[Slade]

Huge insurance run. 

 

[Jonn]

Valenzuela now alone in second on the team in Homeruns.

7 HRs as a backup catcher, take a look Vladdy

Imagine where this team would be right now if Vladdy was having even an average Vladdy season

He can eventually become the #1 catcher if Kirk don't lose weight

[Jays24]

Ive been wanting to keep Heiniman around just because of the positional depth we need at Catcher but its gonna seem extremely stupid sending Venezuela down lol

I think theyre gonna use Venezuela at 1B a bit during Vladdy DH days just to keep his bat in the lineup.  God knows Springer doesnt deserve the full time DH spot right now.

This offense is too weak to keep Tyler.

[Buster]

Can Valenzuela play first base?  We could really use an upgrade there.

Seriously, without Kirk and Barger injuries, we won't know how good Pinango and Valenzuela are. They already better than Heineman and Barger

[Slade]

Just took a look at the minors, forgot Davis Schneider existed for a bit. Thought he might get a kickstart playing every day but damn he's be awful there too.

You think 2 HRs is more than Vladdy?

[dancingmachine]

Use Okamoto at 1B

[rydermike]

What an excuse me swing single 

[Jonn]

Valenzuela is a big reason why this team isn’t in a much bigger hole at this point in the Season. Deserves Team MVP votes for the first half.

Vlad should be ashamed at himself every day he steps foot in the ballpark making as much as he does.

They had him taking grounders at 1B last week. So they know we got to keep him up.

Yep, coz Lindor missed many games this year. Without injury, he will have more HR. I am no a fan of Lindor, but to get rid of Vlad contract, we need take a high contract in return.

[ComeTogether]

Delay of game 

[Jonn]

Somebody should have slapped this kids parents for naming their kid Blaze.

[Slade]

He's arguing here just to get tossed here. 

[JaysFan99]

Varland still incredible.
