Well, in Whoville they say - that his tiny hands grew three sizes that day.

I haven't watched a ton of Jays baseball, but Vladdy looks totally checked out, has he been like this all season?

The media conglomerate that owns the Jays has done like 80 articles about how inconsistent he is and hasn't matched his fifty homerun season or whatever. In the Yankees series before the playoffs he was good and then in the Rays series he had some of the worst ABs I've seen all season.

This inning almost was a case in point because never in my life did I expect him to work that walk with the plate discipline he's shown all season, so I was pleasantly surprised how locked-in he looked but lol

He’s pretty good at first but the effort it took to learn those skills drained all his hitting intelligence

I remember reading an article after the All-Star game on TSN by that crappy former Mets GM saying that Vladdy's performance in the Derby will propel him to a great 2nd half :lol:

Jays pbp are tripping over themselves to say Schneider didn't make the decision to pull Berrios all by himself.
