Most people don't even realize how poor this Vlad outcome is
It's like 5th percentile
About as bad as he could ever have been with his tools. Only way to be worse would be major injuries.
He was 80 hit 80 power... prospect grades...
Jays are 30th in barrel rate.
One of the only major league teams that hates barrels.
If Davis Schneider didn't exist they would have basically no hitters that chase barrels. Jansen does so thank God he's back. I guess Varsho does too he just hasn't been good at it most of the time.
Just drives me f***ing crazy how the top of the order refuses or can't pull the ball in the air
Ernie Clement with his size 28 waist pulled a homer at 99mph today.
Bo is going to have a come to Jesus moment post-Toronto, realize his wannabe skill set as a single slapping shortstop just doesn't line up with his tools, and he will become a 35 HR third baseman somewhere else.
The Os lineup is so insane
It has like 8 studs in it every night and they are all home grown and almost all controllable for 4-6 more years
Westburg and Cowser his like 7th and 8th and have 1.000 OPS each
The Jays do have front end pitching though, and good relievers.
They just don't have any hitters who can hit jacks reliably off really good opposition pitchers. Sigh. Vlad and Bo are sadly so easy to pitch to these days. Broken swing and a pool noodle hacker.
I dunno. Slamming your equipment when YOU whiff is fine but slamming two pieces of equipment at the ump's call is different.
Maybe he said something too.
