It's not even funny anymore. Too bad the manager doesn't have the stones to drop him in the order.

You know what's "unlucky"? All us bag-holders preciously protecting his cards.

4th AB - better to SO looking than to GIDP for the 3rd time. That is a positive when you only make 1 out per AB.


Silly me for thinking that a trip to Coors could help his Actual Stats.

I bet you're fun at parties...

If you're that disgruntled, it seems like you bit off more than you can chew and your "bag" got a little too large for your britches.

Hope that homer he just spanked is a sign he has turned the corner and is back to Vladdy of old ... (he is only 24)

Some weak sales recently on the BC Auto. Refractors going for just $500. Despite a good start to September

BBater31 blocked me because he was getting drilled in the Jasson thread. He’s going on about how he doesn’t miss and how prophetic he is, meanwhile he’s lost money on his Ohtani investment (bought at peak during the pandemic plus another 30%’since the injury) and then Jasson blows out his UCL.

As for Vlad, it’s another buying opportunity as people panic sell. If you ain’t buyin’, you ain’t tryin’. Hopefully Bbater buys Vlad so if there’s a spike, he can sell and recoup some of his losses.

BBases31 can’t miss

I’m trying to get my head around Vlad’s decline these last two years… and x-stats seem to be confused, too

What’s the latest thinking?!?

One of the worst defenders in baseball coupled with horrendous baserunning caps his WAR potential and will never allow him to compete for an MVP. Though this season he ranks almost dead last in WAR among players with at least 550 PA(64th out of 67)

I believe he was decent at 1B when he moved over… what has changed??? It doesn’t look his girth changed that much (but what can I really see?)

256th out of 261 qualified players in OAA this season: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leade..._above_average

FG Def hated him last year too at -15.4 but OAA only had him at -4 in 2022. He just really needs to DH until he proves he can be a serviceable 1B

At what age do you guys think Jasson Dominguez passes him in HR or RBI?

He’s so advanced for his age that I thought Jasson was going to move right to the injury riddled part of his career???

Definitely after his TJ surgery and probably after his first (maybe second) PED suspension.

Vladdy is trying to hit 3 HR every at bat. Once he learns to how to calm down and and let the game come to him instead of forcing it, he'll be fine.

I hope you are right. I can’t understand knowing that every pitcher is throwing the down and away pitch to him. How has he not learned to lay off that pitch.
You keep chasing they will keep throwing it.

Immaturity. When he learns that getting on base causes more havoc than hitting Level 500 at the SkyDome (Rogers Centre my ass), he won’t have Tommy John surgery investors complaining about numbers.

Honestly,

right now Vlad can't even hit a fastball. He's late on everything; his last homerun was on a hanging change-up. There's so much wrong with his mechanics and approach, only an off-season will give him the time to correct it.

Heard some speculation today that the surprise trade of the offseason will be Guerrero. Saying it's the last chance to get a real haul for him if he continues like this and that he's the only real hole in the lineup now with emergence of Davis Schneider.

Triple B must be fuming that I blocked him

By what date do you expect Dominguez to surpass Vladdy in HR or rbi?

Hopefully never. I'd rather never see the Yankees make the playoffs again as long as I live

I am asking your best guess. Is it never?

So… That was a nice piece of hitting.

Of course, it was on a hanging breaking ball, but it still obliterated.

Fuming? I'm happy you did. This means I touched a nerve and got a response.

How's your TJ collection going?

BBases 31 can't miss!
