1. Sure. But we are in a playoff race, its 130 games in. How much longer is he going to need to adjust his LA, adjust his pitch selection, have more clutch ABs? Idc if he is a 23 yr old or a 37 yr old, he is getting paid 8M and the playoff run was built around him and his production from the 2 spot. If he isn't going to, then we are going to be a in an absolute s*** spot. Will he figure it out next year? Maybe. Maybe not. We can still f***ing call a spade a spade and when he sucks, he sucks. 2. No one praises Bo when he sucks; in fact, this board & even reddit has been unanimously against Bo (DFA-d/never signed an extension/w.e) before his September outburst. You are just delusional and tunnel visioned to protect Vlad's stocks. Again, I have no idea why, but I wouldn't be surprised if you erected a shrine in your bedroom.

Vlad sucks right now. This guy just cannot accept the fact that a person can suck and still be integral to the team. What an annoying, obsessed character.

God, at least his defense is still f***ing on point

18 pitches for 1 inning isn't bad at least

He's below 130 wRC+ now (or very close to be)

Like look at those Vlad swings, what is he going for? Pitches in? pitches out? pitches up? pitches down? Mistake pitch with 1-2 count? fouls it. - Same s***, different day. Swings at absolute garbage pitches and then continues swinging at everything to not K. Misses meatballs. 0 idea what he's going for.

I wish our media people in post-game conferences did ask "why is Biggio not playing despite being hot of late"? But nahhh.

Should've just taken the stupid GIDP instead of Gurriel trying to be a superhero. Wouldn't have changed a damn thing, at least we'd have a LFer

No one got him though; his price was astronomically high considering how many teams could've used a OF at the deadline. Like Yankees traded for Bader with Monty since Cubs wanted more.

Springer - needs regular DH Teo - paternity leave and still dealing with foot issue and now Gurry. 2 of JBJ/Whit/Tapia incoming every day for the near future

Just like why; run would've scored since it was 0 outs. I get the play but f***ing risking it for no reason. Now we have to deal with Whit for September as a permanent fixture

That was a dumb lunge

I swear to heavens if there is a GIDP

Okay, so his LA is s*** but seriously, the problem right now is his pitch selection. If he is a 30 HR guy, with a .300 AVG cause he hits missiles into the ground that clear infield at a respectable BABIP rate, then f*** it and f*** worrying about his LA - that's fine (as long as he gives a s*** and runs to 1B to avoid the close DPs) I thought his eye was supposed to be legendary, the f*** happened to that? He swings at absolute s*** pitches and watches meatballs go by or fouls them back. Everyone sympathizes with the dude because they figured out this low/away shenanigan and its unfair blah blah, but when he gets the hanging slider? he fouls them back. Fastballs down middle? Fouls them back. Fastballs in his wheelhouse of up and in? Fouls them back. If he isn't turning on the mistakes, what is even the point of LA discussion He gets into terrible counts because he is swinging at bad pitches and then swings at anything to make contact to avoid striking out; that has been, predominantly, his shtick this year. Walk rate down by 4% while strikeout rate has been the same because of that nonsense ideology. At this rate, he isn't even going to hit 30 HRs before season wraps up and he's going to be end at low 3 WAR for the season.

yup Hyde wants him to get 6 outs.

lol. as usual, f***s up the easy plays.

Cool.

Vladdy is speeding towards sub 130 wRC+ for the season

Teo and Vlad are in some kind of shitter right now

Vlad pitch selection man. jesus christ.

Is this going to be 2021 Vlad or 2022 Vlad, hm

as in today

Well we are still fighting in this cause Bradish is s***.

jk. Guess Os are gonna take the lead.

Adley hitting a GSlam here would be hilarious.
