Belt has the shits.
Barring injury, Schneider is sitting the hottest hitter on the team (with Bo, Chapman, Jano out) down the last leg of the season in the tightest playoff race in franchise history while at the same time batting Biggio second?
Welcome to the bizarro world.
Vladdy has a complete lack of self-awareness. And I don't think anybody in the dugout has the temerity to tell him what to do, either that or they just don't care and think of him as a clown.Someone should post the major league war leader board in the dressing room and show Vladimir where he ranks with respect to the best players in the game. Nothing short of embarrassment will get this guy out of the funk he's in.Toronto fans booing him at home may also do wonders, but that is a lot to ask.
Nobody. Nobody thought Vladdy, Kirk, Espinal, Varsho etc would underperform to the level they did May through July. No one was thinking about call ups in May/June, neither was Atkins.
