I wonder if the Blue Jays will be allowed to do anything to the ballpark tomorrow to make it feel more like a home game. Cover anything that has a Nats logo or Nationals Park. Maybe put a temporary Blue Jays logo behind the plate and use the Rogers Centre sounds.
Blue Jays should try positive reinforcement therapy with Vlad. If he hits the ball in the air he gets a chocolate. If he hits a ball on the ground you spray him in the face with water.
I love how they have worn the sexy road greys every game this season. They should wear them in Buffalo as well to trigger all the locals calling them The Buffalo Blue Jays.
Its absolutely blowing my mind that Joe Panik is already taking at-bats from young players. Like we need to see Fisher as much as possible this year to see if he’s anything. Panik has already received way to many at-bats and this is game 5. He might have to be traded just so Montoyo won’t use him.
Spanky that doesn’t matter. His main issue is it looks like he eats a box of donuts as an appetizer for his breakfast which probably consists of French Toast with icing sugar, whip cream, and maple syrup. With a side pound of sausage and bacon.
No just Vlad. Until he gets in better shape. He can play scrimmages with the minor leaguers until he shows he’s ready to start taking care of himself. It’s tough love but might piss him off and be the best thing for his career. He needs some kind of push. He’s clearly not able to do it alone.
Wouldn’t be the worst thing to just send Vlad to Rochester and tell him to commit to the body and once he loses 15-20 pounds have him come back and have enough crack at it. Between being absolutely lost in the plate and grossly overweight some tough love might be exactly what he needs.
