Vladdy is regressing HARD. Like decline in each of the past 3 years. By the time he reaches free agency he could be out of a massive paycheque. Dude is too worried about dugout antics and Gatorade showers then be concerned about getting better
And not only at the plate, but defensively too. After he switched from 3rd base, he really seemed good at 1st base, especially last year. This year it's been a mixed bag at 1st base, and of course his loss of power.

Right now he's just an average 1st baseman offensively and defensively. That doesn't get you a huge payday, since its not a premium position.

Gold glove first baseman, who today can’t even take 1 hoppers from 3rd… he’s fallen hard both at the plate and in the field. When you don’t even play a valuable/premium position the least you can do is mash the ball… he’s not even doing that. His value to this team is zero right now.
 
Maybe Vladdy is the immature spoiled kid who is so far up his own ass he is oblivious to everything around him. They got rid of mostly Dominican/South American players, they got rid of the HR jacket…. I wonder why they did that? I wonder who that was for? He’s still doing the stupid antics every game… and he’s actually getting worse. Maybe Vladdy is the problem

Yeah he was really good at digging out the balls in the dirt, with stretches that seemed unnatural for his body type, last year.

How do you fall off so much in one year?

What "hitting strageist" is being referred to here?

Hudgens is the hitting strategist for the Jays and he’s tweeting political stuff a few minutes before the game.
 
Can't blame that on Hicks. Yup not great but they have to hit the f***ing ball.

Holy shit. This team isn't going anywhere until guys learn to hit. I thought that'd be what they could do no problem but it's been pitching that's keeping them in it.

Losing 1-0 in baseball. The Jays pitchers must be pissed.

They better figure it out soon to even get a wild card spot.
The wild card spot is likely gone tonight and I don’t anticipate getting back into one the rest of the way. Look at how decimated the the Rays are and they remain competitive. This team is awful.

Honestly, why does he even have a job. He should have already been fired. He clearly doesn’t have a “strategy that I’ve seen”

It’s time for Atkins to either get fired or start making some big decisions with this club. 1. Vladdy’s attitude. Someone has to smack him in the head and tell him he doesn’t own this team. That he will be held accountable, he is expected to make adjustments when given advice etc. he seems to go on his own best which clearly is not going well.

By the way I don’t know what is exactly going on between Scott MacArthur and this Jays hitting strategist…
 
Is MacArthur implying that this is a culture that is being instilled by Shapiro?

Edit: I guess in the replies he seems to be calling out the board/ownership. Still don’t really understand if this is relevant to the on-field performance.
Not sure what he’s implying but not smart on Hudgens to be tweeting a few minutes before the game while the bats are struggling and he’s the hitting strategist.

I think the issues is “that” he tweeted 4 minutes before the game, he’ll be trouble for “what” he tweeted.

Yeah I think it's safe to assume that Hudgens isn't a very smart man. No idea why he's still with the club.
 
Not going to get political but his twitter 'likes' aren't good. Personally, if it gets him fired I will be glad. I still have no clue what his role is.
I have no idea what he does and if he even matters. But clearly he wasn’t focussed on the game.

He’s free to tweet his opinions on his own time
