But did you hear that he tried to adapt to swing for launch angle and it "messed up his swing", so like a good professional he completely quit on trying to get better and went back to his usual messed up swing.
And then we rewarded him for it.
Well deserved loss.
I don't see a second half Renaissance for Vladdy this year because the games actually matter, and as we all know, the more the games matter the more irrelevant he becomes.
Nobody goes to the ballpark to watch Vlad. People go if the team is winning. I could have bought that argument with Ohtani, he's a unicorn. Not with Vlad.
BS argument. There is a salary limit to this team and he's working against it. Otherwise let's just sign everyone for $500 million.
Assets acquired for him and the money that was used for him could have combined for something better than him.
This was the most concerning matchup of the three.
Houser has been really good and beat us last time, Laurer has been every bit as good though.
Hopefully we got something left in our bats for him today.
Twice for six games. Like most divisional opponents they have two series in the first half and two series in the second half.
The only divisional opponent we haven't done that with is Boston, we got three of our four series out of the way with them in the first half.
