Dude was here for several years and most people here had suspected he was the guy pushing the whole contact hitting thing, which didn’t work for 2-3 years until the power was added to the formula 2025. Now we’re back to no power.
At least he has the sense to sit out the all-star break and rest up/get his mind off things for a bit.
Really gotta wonder if a 2 week IL stint would be beneficial for him
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.
