Vlad's a guy who appeared as though he had bullet proof confidence. Judging by his minor league numbers, he never once experienced a real struggle at the plate until he reached the show. My guess would be he never really had to develop coping mechanisms for self-doubt until then. It's been a steep learning curve as a result. He is dynamite when he has his mojo, but it's been MIA for a couple years. We can only hope he finds it again, otherwise the Jays will not be making any deeper runs into the playoffs.

It still boils down to quality pitching, can't out slug mistakes.

He's lazy and lacks focus. It's a lot easier to put your head down and do the work when the world is shut down and there's nothing else to do. Doesn't seem to be as interested in baseball these days.

I called his 2023. I made a bet with a friend of mine in fantasy BB that he wouldn't hit 30HRs or 100RBIs, and got a free draft pick out of it. I don't know why it was a surprise for everyone. If you exclude his 2021 season his average OPS was .793, and 2021 was the *only* season in his career where he showed up to training camp without a spare tire. I'm not writing him off yet, but he's yet to show the mental maturity to perform and make adjustments to his game on a consistent basis; if he did his defense wouldn't have slipped so much last year.

lol... he is a gold glover with elite bat speed and more MLB service at his age than 99.9% of players to ever play in the mlb.... If he is anything - he is a call for patience. lots of great players have up and down years.. look at Acunas stats before his MVP..

Nhl hockey 2024 - With pittsburgh penguins edmonton oilers game going how it did, plus the calgary flames comeback over sidney crosby and the boys the night before on miikka kiprusoff night, the noise is loud around the pens right now. Kyle dubas is a busy man and will continue to be up to the 2024 nhl trade deadline on friday. Nhl trade rumors for jake guentzel and even malkin letang erik karlsson to a certain degree I understand, but the crosby mackinnon colorado avalanche stuff is... well, you'll see in the video. That crosby vs mcdavid matchup did not go how I thought it would and the nhl standings today are not friendly for the pittsburgh penguins playoff pursuit.

Juan soto will Resign with the Yankees, they gave 7 players to get 2 but the biggest catch was soto and Steinbrenner is not gonna let him walk after this year, I don't care if the Mets, dodgers, Toronto, or any other team that wants him is gonna sign him think again, he will Resign with the Yankees in 2024 2025 that's a guarantee.

it honestly wasn't a bad offseason but if they hadn't said "full throttle" maybe the fans wouldn't have been so mad. I still think it's stupid that people are saying sell the team though. This is a combination of bad luck and a bad fa market (for pitching) THIS offseason but not a core issue with the team in general. This is the red sox; they will spend little money this year and have the highest payroll in the league the next lol. This year their main plan seems to be to get the new coaching staff in order and fill some off their holes is the team along with drafting top pitching in June. Expect them to make a big splash next year when Walker B Burnes Bieber and soto are all FAs.

@mattifolks3 ай бұрын
How good the Yanks will be is directly related to whether these mashers will be patient at the plate, or just try to hit it out of the galaxy with every swing. Soto might be the best hitter ever if he remains patient. His best years were down years relatively for his power numbers, but on base, slugging, and batting average were at the top of the league. It just sucks that he plays for the most hated team in baseball.

No doubt in my mind that this dude is a super star. No disrespect to Bo, but when Vladdy is right, he’s THE GUY. Had a shaky season, but he’s young and could easily be the best player on most MLB teams as is.

None of this matters when the Dodgers BOUGHT a lineup where 6 of the 9 batters are All-Stars and 3/5 starting pitchers are too, if Yamamoto becomes one. Baseball needs hard salary caps, not soft lenient ones.

Interesting video, I hate Bellinger because I’m a padres fan, but it’s nice he won’t be in the division for the foreseeable future. It would be cool to see some padres content, they’ll be interesting to follow after a disappointing year with a lot of guys who underperformed that have the talent to make the playoffs, even with Hader and snell probably leaving. Go padres!
