The only hole in the lineup?!?! On a team that’s batting Cavan Biggio fifth in a crucial game down the stretch... Riiiiiiiiiight.

Amidst all this anguish about Vlad’s season, has anyone noticed his bombs in back-to-back games?

It was especially nice to see him turn on 97 mph down in the zone.

I hope he doesn't have very many Vlad cards because everything this clown touches turns to crap. Wander, Ohtani, Jasson...stay away from Vlad!

I watched a video the other day about the team as a whole and it is incredible, for the most part, the whole team is down (stat wise). I also have seen multiple people talk about his hit approach, late loading and hitting too square vs earlier and more under the ball. That seems to be the main 2 issues because when one looks at stat projections he should be near the top.

I wonder if he hears these things.

Both have been heading south for years. I feel bad for both Biggio and Guerrero holders

Is it just me, or does Vladdy have a different energy to his swing? He looks like he in control of the batter’s box in a way that we haven’t seen in a while.

While I don’t know if any where intentional, the 3 walks stand out to me a much as the homer, as far as him being in a better place at the dish.

Mind you he will have as many if not a higher BB this year than last so...

If we could have seen 10 more hr's and a batting average .020 higher it would have been a whole different year lol

He took a pitch low and away and looked at the ump and laughed. Homered the next swing. The three walks were huge. He’s seeing the ball well right now and he seems more relaxed. This is what he needs to do consistently instead of trying to hit three HRs with every swing.

I wonder if a strong finish from Guerrero will make the trade rumors die down. He's still going to finish as their worst regular starter but some strong momentum off the back end could convince them to roll the dice on another year

Unfortunately all that comes with an average WAR of under ONE per season besides the year he played in the Minor League parks

Corbin Caroll has more WAR this season than Guerrero does in his 4 non-Minor League Park seasons combined. Not sure what he has to do with anything though

O yea, a real bum that Ohtani is. Someone's jealous

Now read my quote of trading me your Vlad rookie autos for Cavan autos since war means so much

On what date do you think Carroll surpasses Vlad in career HR or RBI?

Even if you don't care about WAR, Guerrero has a career .452 SLG at Rogers Center. Those minor league bandboxes inflated his numbers in 2021 (44 games, 21 HR, .862 SLG). That's one of the most severe splits I've ever seen.
