Because up until a few months ago he wasn’t like this. Or last year. Or is it every start but it’s more than not, now. If he was that terrible he’d be DFAd like Francis.
Assuming no injury, he’s feeling the pressure of the team success.
Games of course are all important in September but if the bullpen can put together a good rest of this game and tomorrow against a non playoff team, the pen playing their way out of their slump, it’s good going into the Yanks series when the pressure is elevated.
Vlad barely got half way down the line the last ground out. Him getting as pumped as he is about sac flies and infield hits the last few days is somewhat odd. He needs a bit higher standard down the stretch and into the playoffs.
