Yup

His year-over-year drops in EV are very concerning.

This was a guy who was just pinning line drives a couple years ago who now seems to have evolved into a slappy singles hitter.

It’s actually more concerning than if it was just a bad approach and lots of Ks. The approach is still great and K:BB rates are excellent, he just has totally seemed to lose all his power.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Can anyone here pitch?

 

[Stringer Bell]

Is it just me or does it feel like we hit into a ton of double plays?

 

[shaner8989]

Wonder when Vladdy starts to feel some serious heat. He’s simply not good enough.

Jano and the pitching staff @Texas Rangers.

 

[Cleetus]

Back to back Doubles from Bo, and Vladdy! 1-0 jays

 

[canucksfan]

Varsho!

 

[The Nemesis]

Varsho!

Trash player

 

[canucksfan]

Foul ball!

Edit: that might be a homer. This is tough

 

[Guided by Veseys]

This is weird

 

[The Nemesis]

Foul ball!

Ump: "It's foul."

other ump: "It was the Blue Jays that gave that up."

Ump: "oh. Home run."

 

[The Nemesis]

It's a miracle!

 

[canucksfan]

Francis did a great job at getting ahead but couldn’t finish batters off quickly.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Chapman has just been awful offensively since early May. I knew he had a terrible strikeout ratio per 9 but double digits the past few years as they just said on the telecast? Yikes.

 

[DFF]

Garcia and Cimber

I guess they don’t want to win today

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Think I was wrong about this lineup needing to add a bat...

They need to add 2 bats. This lineup is depressing to watch and costing us games.

It doesn't matter who they use in that situation.

This team can't score runs and won't win consistently until they do so.

He's looking like last year's Chapman

Hopefully we add some better bats this winter

 

[canucksfan]

I would have let Varsho bat

 

[Tw1ster]

Pinch hitting Kirk for Varsho there was a bonehead move. I’m no Schneider hater, but he’s over managing.

 

[canucksfan]

It's weird, outside of an improvement with the bench, where do you improve offensively?

 

[trellaine201]

Not much you can do. Maxed out the budget. You have to hope the offense gets hot or you can forget the playoffs.

Isn’t it just a weird off season producing expected results.

At least ownership can see they won’t have to pay an exorbitant amount to Vlad if he wants to sign.

I listened on the radio while on cottage... even on a non terrible bullpen day outing, they still cant score more than 2 runs...

something has to give here...

What can they do?
They sacrificed offense for defense and this is the result.
