Dominguez is a potential walk machine. This is fine in high leverage where you really only need him to get a couple of big outs, but not to start a game where you might need the opener to cover 2 innings. -
I'm sure SSS is part of it, but he's upped his changeup usage quite significantly since earlier in his career. 13% changeup usage with 13% cutter usage, both of which are pitches meant to neutralize the opposite handedness. I figure his breaking ball command hasn't quite been where he's wanted it to be for RHH, so maybe that's why he's been hit a little harder by them.

He’s old, might be washed at this point. Injuries starting to pile up, command’s gone to s***.

Vlad xBA rankings since 2021: 2021 - 99th percentile 2022 - 95th percentile 2023 - 96th percentile 2024 - 100th percentile 2025 - 100th percentile In all those years, his K rate was never lower than 81st percentile, and it's trended into the 90th+ percentile since 2023. Vlad objectively has an 80 grade hit tool by the usual definition. 65 is an outrageous claim.
-
Some people might argue that Luis Arraez has an 80 grade hit tool. Hell, fangraphs gave Willians Astudillo an 80 grade hit tool, which IMO was absurd, mostly because he just had a knack for putting bat to ball and never striking out. I do think quality of contact has to come into play, you can't just be an 80 grade hit tool guy if all you do is hit soft grounders and bloops all over the place. Vlad objectively combines both an elite amount of contact with hard hit balls, with a pretty healthy spray chart that makes him difficult to shift in any particular way. His issue, if you want to call it that, is he's probably a 75-80 raw power guy with "only" 55/60 game power. The Miguel Cabrera, Manny Ramirez, Frank Thomas examples provided more like 70-75 game power, with guys like Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Barry Bonds, peak steroids Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa providing that 80 grade version, with varying levels of hit tool output.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2025)
Orgfiller replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Turns out they both suck and this lineup is too good. -
Yankees are blooping and hitting seeing eye singles all over the place.
-
Massive inning ending double play executed by the Padres defense.
-
J-Ram's aggressiveness on the bases killing the Guardians for a third time.
-
What a brutal error for Vest. Perfect feed from Torkelson, chance to get out of the jam up 6-1 still in the driver's seat.
-
I can't believe Darvish gave PCA anything to hit, let alone a fastball right down broadway.
-
Darvish unraveling. Bases loaded no out, let's see if another no run occurrence comes out of this one.
-
Having a hard time convincing myself that Jameson Taillon starting this elimination game for the Cubs is any better than Cleveland going with Slade Cecconi. The Cade Horton injury this late in the season was brutal timing for them.
-
Yeah definitely, plus it's also the familiarity aspect of the hitters facing the same guy so often. If starters have a times through the order penalty, then surely relievers do as well when they're seeing them every day. And Gaddis is no Mason Miller that the stuff just wins out ultimately.
-
Between this and the Juan Soto bomb in last year's playoffs, Hunter Gaddis might not be a very popular guy in Cleveland.
-
Oh yeah, they're done now.
-
With Cleveland's offense, or lack thereof, that might genuinely be the series right there.
-
If there's one thing I want it's my pitcher taking his sweet time in an elimination game with a fast runner burning it down the line.
-
Javy Baez is dominating this series for Detroit.
-
He didn't just Patrick Bailey his way to it either, a very respectable 109 wRC+ with a .360 xwOBA. Of course, he's also an exceptional defensive catcher.
-
Probably the most underrated catcher in baseball, maybe one of the most underrated players period, Dillon Dingler with the big go-ahead HR. 4 WAR season!
-
My god, this Cleveland defense is absolutely pathetic.
-
This Cleveland crowd is electric. There's just nothing like playoff baseball.
-
And he drives the run in on a ball lol. Gotta give credit to Flaherty for executing his pitches pretty well, JRam is just a monster.
-
TIgers' inability to score with men on base will surely cost them again later this game. Honestly lucky in scoring the first run with the 1B having a real shot at preventing the run if he came up with it cleanly.
