2024 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

Jays now losing all because of a ridiculous miss by Vladdy.

That stings.

[browna]

Vald seemed more concerned with running back to the dugout than catch a super routine throw. Cost 2 runs and probably a few more outs from Gausman in the 6th.

[flamingred89]

Vladdy is bad at the game of baseball.

How the Jays are losing this is beyond me. Any sort of decent team has 5 or 6 runs right now with the amount of baserunners they've had.

[KelVarnsen]

If Schneider had a pair of balls he would have taken Vladdy out of the game

[flamingred89]

Vlad 0-4 with a GIDP and a horrible error in the field and it's only the 6th inning. If he's not sitting tomorrow for a day of rest then Schneider isn't doing his job. Dude needs a break or something. He's hurting this team massively right now.

[browna]

Gausman rock solid and efficient. Not a ton of run support, but again, lazy error by Vlad 100% the difference right now.

[jayswin]

Vladdy is simply too casual and aloof to be a serious star in this league.

That is a very bad day. 0.2 War so far in the season, so he’s basically giving the team nothing right now,

[Skaloper]

Don't know how they overturned that call considering he was safe on a bang bang play...

And of course Vladdy couldn't do anything to atone for his poor performance.

This one absolutely stinks.

[browna]

Junk 9th inning hitting from 0-5 Vladdy and Bo.
3 unearned runs for Gausman thanks to Vladdy not making a basic catch.

[Whynotnow]

Not hitting into the double play was the best I was hoping for from vlad sadly. He cost the team today. It must be mentally fatiguing to be on this pitching staff knowing you won’t get any support.

IKF has a higher slugging percentage then Vladdy.

[Jason14h]

Our top 3 hitters are completely horrible this season . I suppose on the plus side they have to get better ……. Don’t they ?

[KelVarnsen]

I wouldn’t bet on it.

[ben voyonsdonc]

It really sucks that a guy who was supposed to be a franchise player for us has turned into a dud. It would have been worse to have committed to him long term on a deal that paid him like a franchise guy.

Only a year left with him.

Yeah I think I mentioned this the other day, you just couldn’t plan for this. I thought he was gonna be a fun, dominant player to watch for years and years. Him turning into a dud is hard to watch and hurts the team pretty badly.

[Roof-Daddy]

Lmao Vlad

Wow

0 for 5 with 2Ks a GIDP and an error that cost three runs in a 3-2 loss

That is really special

Yep he is nothing in this league. Our only hope now is that his name recognition around the league gets us something from a team that thinks he'll turn it around with them.

[Roof-Daddy]

Yeah hopefully there is a front office or two out there that think they can fix Vlad. He is headed for DFAville right now

[KelVarnsen]

I think he’s the biggest problem with the team. It feels like he is bringing the whole team down.

The sooner he is gone the better.
