Unfortunately he just can't stop getting caught with his pants down.

Yes he has been hit pretty hard. I think they should try and give him more time between games.

Why wouldn’t they use a pinch runner? They had Biggio to pinch run and Jansen on the bench to catch. Probably would have scored another run.

Jansen is hurt. He was scheduled to start but pulled due to injury.

Jansen wasn't available. He had inflammation in his wrist.

On 3rd with 1 out he’s fairly safe considering it’s August 5th. Espinal should have read it better but the fact he cannot score on that play is the issue. If Verdugo is in right it changes things, but you have to be able to score runs when they’re available.

Really glad we didn’t give him a long term contract. As I said before, unless someone shows you they are a super star right off the bat for multiple years or they give you a Acuna type deal, I’m signing no one to a long term deal when you have pre-arb and arb control.

Is it a coincidence that the two guys struggling the most are the fattest on the team? Get it shape man

I don't see the sharp downward movement on his splitter anymore.....it just sort of looks like a dead fish batting practice fastball.
I remember reading one scouting report that as a floor offensively, Prince Fielder. I would take a 140-150 wRc now.

Again thinking getting Vladdy on a diet and a treadmill is suddenly going to fix him is so incredibly surface level. His issues are not to do with his body. He has decision making issues. He swings at dog shit pitches he can't do any damage on and misses pitches put right down the dick that he should hit over the batters eye.

Sure feel free to move the goalposts around. Vladdy was also matching his 2021 output before he got hurt in May. Hasn’t gotten back to that level since despite putting up great peripherals. Sometimes the output just doesn’t match the expected numbers (Acuna last year) but that doesn’t mean he’s back to performing like his 2019-2020 years.

Agreed. Imo He had a much better control/handle of his pitches when he was with the Mariners. His heater/fastball is by far the best pitch of his arsenal/repertoire. His slider and changeup are not as efficient as his fastball in both delivery, command and consistency.
He should be a Middle relief pitcher in the 7th or 8th inning not your closer. Put Hicks or Mayza in the closer role for the 9th

Thursday was a crap game, but they have a chance to sweep Boston and make up for it.
Baltimore will still poop the bed at some point, but it may not be until the playoffs.
