Vlad has a lot of raw talent defensively you see why they think he could have played 3rd base. If he got in shape I see no reason why he can’t stay in the field. Hes not an absolute butcher. He has arm strength and good hands.

I still remember when he was known as Van Fleet.

Albies looks like the token Latin guy in every movie that features Sword fighting.

Courtice resident Martin Brodeur in that commercial. Love to see it.

I still think if it was the Yankees who were just sitting in Washington a series would have played regardless of how many times they were “suppose” to play.

Here’s enough guy that’s a good example of being able to get into shape. Matt Adams was legitimately known as Fat Adams in St. Louis. He looked like a blob now he looks good. Vlad should be taking notes.

Correct me if I’m wrong but is that not Shitbricks first strikeout of the year?

Soto moved so fast he didn’t even have time to get the #1 spot. But yea the elite plate discipline and dynamic bat speed and just drilling everything gap to gap exists in him. Watching Vladdy play you wonder how anyone ever saw this in him lol.

What about Fernando Tatis Jr in comparison. Makes you wonder how Vlad even got the #1 spot considering most #1 prospects are 5 tool players. Vlad’s bat was suppose to be stupid elite and it just hasn’t happened yet.

100%. Anyone you see with those super dark beard especially all consistently one colour is dying their beard.

Only the 6th time hes walked this season. Pretty sure that would lead our team lol. Even Biggio isn’t getting on base right now

Only a good night at Magic City can help you forget about a blunder like that.

Jesus Christ that throw wasn’t even close lol

The effort put into these threads is truly inspiring.

Probably should lick it just to be 100 percent sure.

It shouldn’t be really surprising about his command to be honest. He just hasn’t pitched much and he’s coming off a major surgery. And because hes also the teams regular DH he can’t solely focus on it. Even if the minor league season was going he wouldn’t have the luxury of making multiple minor league starts to try to figure it out. Angels really have no choice but to throw him out on the mound and hope he can recapture his form again. Rough situation. Not really sure what else they could do but let him throw simulated games until he starts to look like himself again.

We have a chance to go after Kumar Rocker and I think we should take it. 50 game tank super worth.

Hopefully he’s found safe and in good health soon.

Why does MLB lead the world in false positive tests. This doesn’t appear to be an issue in the other sports.

I mean it is a lot of Rob Manfreds fault. But when the players flat out rejected the idea of a bubble it really tied everyone’s hands. I honestly feel they could have tried a modified version of the Bubble that included family in these locations that would have substantially safer than the current setup. Texas literally has 2 Baseball stadiums side by side. You could have realistically had 10 teams play a season in though 2 venues. And than split the remaining teams between Arizona and Florida realigning the divisions by geography. Before ultimately hosting the playoffs exclusively at Marlins Park or something like that. Obviously Florida is s*** show but I just find it hard to believe they couldn’t manage those spring location if everyone was actually willing to buy in. I feel it was possible and nobody presented a plan with idea A, B, C. We basically got hey this is out only option and lets roll the dice and see what happens. They spent all that time arguing about money instead of actually coming up with a concept and locations to play the season safety. Its just a f***ing mess. I just feel way more could have been done.

As much as it sucked. I think most of us were prepared for a 2020 season not taking place. Especially when doing Bubbles in Florida and Arizona got ruled out. The fact that they came back and failed miserably will be an even tougher pill for Baseball to swallow. Especially if the NBA and NHL go on without issues. I want them to be able to figure this out and get things back on track. But I also have almost zero confidence in MLB’s front office making sound and competent decisions. They really can’t delay the season for a couple weeks without removing games from the schedule. They won’t play playoff games into November. Unless they decided to bubble the MLB Playoffs in a warm location. That might be able to buy them a couple weeks to have the regular season go into October and doing the playoffs in November.

The job is probably significantly more appealing now. But who knows.

Well now that they are flat out canceling games for 1 or 2 people testing positive it’s looking kinda bleak. MLB went from being fine with the Braves losing both their catchers to shutting down stadiums for staff getting it barely a week later. Makes it even more annoying that the Blue Jays and Nationals are just chilling this weekend instead of playing. Does anyone really care if we play the Nationals 7 times in a row in this cluster f*** of a season? The schedule is already dumb anyway

Do they want Yamaguchi and Sammy G,?

4-0 against Carolina in the regular season!
