Doesn’t matter. He clearly wasn’t even paying attention to the game for that to happen.

Send a message to him and the rest of the team, stuff like this has been happening too much.

Such terrible mistakes on the basepaths time after time. Giving away free outs time after time. Just embarrassing to watch.

Oh yes. Something needs to be done. I just don’t have hopes for Vlads baseball IQ.

Come to think of it, maybe he gets a clue if we were to pinch run for him the next 5 times he got a base hit. Pull him in the third inning. Who cares. The embarrassment factor might just be enough.

We're in mid June, and Kiermaier has as high an OPS at Vlad.

This is his 5th season. Maybe he's just not the superstar level player we hoped he would be.

Just completely embarrassing defensive baseball costs them two runs and gets the Rangers back in the game.

Nothing will be done though clearly.

Easily the worst loss of the season. Just absolutely disgraceful baseball and no consequences from the manager at all. Vlad should have been out of the game in the 1st inning.

I am all for giving Guerrero a couple of days off to sit on the bench. His head is not fully in the game right now. Did not even hustle fully to get to the ball that started off this rough inning, which landed in fair territory. Disgraceful baseball it is. On the other hand, if I was a Rangers fan, it is nice to see a team with this offense that is never out of it.

Dang. We wasted our one and only offensive explosion of the month.

The Braves never missed the post-season when he became GM before the 2018 season. A World Series Champion, three trips to the NLCS, and first place in the NL East right now.

Vlady just lets runners on until Texas is able to knock them in. That’s how we roll.

Cimber isn't a major league reliever any longer at this point. 6.97 ERA in over 20 innings now.

Corporate pandering led to Bass being cut while cimber and white are on this roster lol.
