    I guess a lot of people mistake being a flashy showman without the results for arrogance. Donaldson is arrogant. Vlads personality is light years from his.

    You're not wrong. He'd be the prime "buy low" candidate for any team that could afford his next two arb years. That's why I don't buy the narrative some media members are spinning about it being 50/50 that he's back next season, like the Jays would somehow trade him in the middle of their window. Doesn't make sense.

    Can’t watch this anymore. See y’all tomorrow
  4. John_Havok
    Trade Vlad for Alonso.

    Sarcasm has been detected.

    Richards can go 2 innings if needed also

    Majority of the fans don’t care about the antics. The evidence? All those jerseys with Guerrero Jr on the back you see everywhere. Not saying it’s right, just saying. Casual fans love the guy.

    This teams best player is on the IL, not making league min.

    Maybe, I guess guys like Gausman would struggle more given the two-pitch profile and the hitters able to zero in more but I don’t see that lack of break as the problem with the splitters, they’re nearly all in the dirt
  11. John_Havok
    Gausman so slow to the plate our catchers don’t have a chance. Gonna run on him all day
  12. John_Havok
    Rockies all over Gausman. Spitting on the splitters and sliders, nailing the fastballs. Must have a good prep team on their side
  13. John_Havok
    I think 100% of the problem is mental. You can make do with physical issues by not being stupid. Yes it would be better if he was in better shape, but imagine a guy like vlad who loses 30 pounds, gets faster and still makes idiotic decisions on the bases. It's not really his lack of speed that's the problem it's his and Rivera's lack of realizing it and continually taking stupid chances
  14. John_Havok
    There's no denying there's hidden talent..it's not even really all that hidden. The issue is the mental roadblock in the way of that talent is pretty significant. Would anyone truly be surprised if he hit 40 bombs next season given his talent levels? On the flip side, would anyone be truly surprised if we see the same 100 wRC+ hitter with s*** d and s*** baserunning? All I know if the front office needs to figure out how to get through to him and fast, or just send him in his way.
  15. John_Havok
    Well that went sideways in a hurry
  16. John_Havok
    Vlads just dumb as s***, swinging at something low and away first pitch with the bases loaded. Utter idiocy
  17. John_Havok
    Wasn’t there a runner on base? If so, catchers generally don’t set up with their throwing hand behind them as it makes it more difficult if they need to block a ball in the dirt or try to throw someone out

    Ernie Clement - .5 fWAR in 25 PAs Vlad Jr - .5 fWAR in 574 PAs

    Exit velos off Green 108.4, 98.8, 92.6, 91.8, 95.2, 102.7, 104.3 - then the hook.
  20. John_Havok
    The top 5 hitters in Atlantas lineup have more HRs between them than 17 entire teams, including the jays
  21. John_Havok
    2 whiffs on 9 swings on the fastball. 5 swings and no whiffs on the slider. Savant has 1 pitch as a cutter which is unlikely, was probably just a bad slider but it was swung at and contacted. So 2 whiffs on 15 swings. Exit velos against him were all above league average as well.
  22. John_Havok
    Averaging 95, in the past his avg was 95-96. I’m just curious as the slider vs curveball situation
  23. John_Havok
    Sold. f***ing love those chips
  24. John_Havok
    Why is Chad green throwing sliders? He ditched that in 2019 in favour of a curve
  25. John_Havok
    Springer should have had that one…looks like he was really worried about the wall.
