GT: Blue Jays (2-3) @ Astros (1-4) / 3 game series - Monday April 1 @ 8pm to Wed April 3

If being a player doesn't work out Vlad will make a great coach for ground ball practice for the shortstops

99mph GB practice! Good fun

Has vladdy even tried to work on his swing in the offseason? Aaron judge was already pretty good, but then decided to rework his swing and is now unstoppable. Not sure what vlad is working on… losing weight is great and all but that has nothing to do with his plate approach and swing mechanics.

It's hard to say how much is the player and how much is our poor player development given we've had so many regressions the past 2 seasons. Probably a bit of both

I'd trade Kirk for a 2009 MacBook Pro

[Asianiac_24]

I’m interested in seeing the analytics justifying IKF over DS. IKF is so bad and has absolutely no power

[Randle McMurphy]

Kiermaier is taking some atrocious swings right now, glad the analytics said he should be in the lineup

I think we have seen different versions of his approach/decision making at the plate over the years. However it’s seems to have no effect on launch angle(other than 21’) , he just hits it hard at infielders.

I think at times he can get caught trying to get the bat on plane too early, which can cause too long and too flat of a barrel through the zone. still hits the ball hard due to strength and good hands, just limits the amount of good elevated contact.

Repeat of yesterday

[Madvillainy2004]

I don't think I quite remember feeling like Im watching literally the exact same team year to year as the 23-24 Jays lol like this is game 171 for them

[Randle McMurphy]

That’ll do it for this one

[Hottie McShotty]

This team is allergic to hitting. Maybe it's got into their heads. Can't handle the pressure.

[PowerPlant1]

Lousy lineup today with the biggio, ikf and varsho combo. Not that anyone outside of Turner is good at this point.

Nonetheless Clement and Schneider should be regulars. I don't care how much they struggle.

[SharoneWright]

Time for Schneider to strap on the gear.

[Ranger One]

Bro..is Kirk actively AIMING at the shortstop??? wtf?

[Madvillainy2004]

I'm sure glad Davis got benched tonight so we'd have a better chance of hitting Javier.

[PowerPlant1]

Bro..is Kirk actively AIMING at the second baseman??? wtf?

hey, don't talk about a top 5-10 catcher in the league like that.

[Eisenhorn]

Alvarez just owns Bassit, he is just has his number man.

[Asianiac_24]

Javier honestly haven’t pitched very well today, yet we have 0 runs. We basically give out 4 free outs every game with Varsho/KK/Biggio/IKF

[Boogie!]

Vlad still missing meatballs I’m about to give up on him already

[rarefind]

nice

[Asianiac_24]

What can we get for Vlad
