Went to check what his actual splits for June looked like….
Vlad has a 37 wRC+ for the month of June.
That’s insanely bad. I don’t even think Bo was that bad during his terrible stretch a couple years back.
It was this bad early last year for the first month, people said it was unsustainable and they did end up turning it around
This year its looking pretty fkn sustainable lol
He doesn’t have a right to s***, still under rookie contract. Shut up and play
Go cry to Max Scherzer and tell him to fight harder for rookie pay instead of trying to inflate mega contracts
So weird… LF/RF should play exactly the same minus the need for more arm in RF.
Gotta wonder if that’s just SSS noise.
Or maybe has to do with where they’ve played, eg: Fenway RF being a bottomless pit and Yankee stadium LF being large
Unfortunately i don’t think you can fix stupid. The only thing that pulls him out of this slump is the thing between his ears. He needs to figure out the missing link between his brain and body
I’d think Gausman definitely has value, even with his recent struggles. Bieber would be another piece to move. Varsho would definitely be desirable by most teams around the league, and im sure someone would be willing to take a flyer on Hoffman.
What’s wild is that this dude is a young 1B with a build like Prince Fielder.
A 32 year old Prince Fielder with degenerative spinal issues wasn’t even this bad of a slugger.
I’d seriously love to know what actual “work” Vlad is putting in and what advice he’s getting.
Putting in 20 hours a week of dumbass drills that aren’t helping
Yeah i think most here would swap Tatis for Vlad in heartbeat.
Would rather have a huge contract tied up with a speedy guy that can man the OF for years vs a slow 1B that has hit as his only useful tool.
