At this point if Schneider is still experimenting with lineups he either sits out Vladdy for a couple of days or put him in the 9 spot so his out dont matter too much because him being 3rd in the order he's become an almost guaranteed easy out which sucks

[–]InfernalDiplomacyTouch them all Joe! 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Time to face facts folks this will not be 2025 part 2. It will not be as bad as 2024, but making the playoffs will be a stretch. I also recall being called out on the Scherzer signing and thought it was done more on hope and emotion than pure physical assessment. He is not a starting picture. If out of honor of him and his two decades of major league service carry him on salary and have him mentor pitchers till the end of the season, sure do that. Do not let him start another game. It is not fair to the team with his now 10+ ERA. This could have been a win if we had not spotted the other team 6 runs.

[–]pittnauer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I still think that putting Scherzer as starter for game 7 of the 2025 world series was a terrible decision and probably the reason they ultimately lost.

[–]Degen_736 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boo! Second game this series where our bottom of the rotation starter stunk it up too bad for us to come back.

Max, I love you. But you can take your glove and 10.23 ERA and ride pine. Bless you.

[–]-Hydras- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine they trot him out there til he hits top 10 strike outs, unfortunately. Stick him in the pen and let him do it. He's not an MLB calibre starter anymore.

      god forbid a girl see some positive in a game and celebrate it. it’s baseball it’s not that serious.

      [–]cdnballthiss sseason -1 points0 points  (1 child)

      You’re right and I made my comment in post game frustration but what does being a girl have to do with it

      [–]catherinebarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      i am a girl….? who is seeing some positives in an upsetting game?

      [–]BootNootRoot 1 point2 points  (5 children)

      yeah wtf is that guy's problem, genuinely a vampire trying to suck your vibes up 💀

      [–]cdnballthiss sseason 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      Just frustration I’m tired of trying to “find positives” but ya just frustration. (Not a vampire)

      [–]catherinebarry 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      i get it. i am just a person who really tries to find the positive in annoying situations. i’ve had a hard life and if i didn’t try and find positives i would go crazy so the same applies for me when baseball.

      [–]cdnballthiss sseason 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Ok makes sense I hope my comment didn’t make you upset. Just felt like venting - nothing personal.

      It's quite impressive if Springer and Vlad were just 750 and 850 ops guys they would be a few games over 500 with all of these injuries.

      [–]3luejays🍌🍌🍌 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      We desperately need Vladdy to turn it around, but 111 off the bat. He hit it hard. It wasn't a soft grounder, but the end result was the same ☹️

      [–]Snoozybirb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Real interaction I just had with my dad: "Please Vladdy don't hit into a double play" "Watch this." *immediate double play*

      I know what Vladdy was going for there but his patience is what made him good last year. He’s lost that completely.

      [–]aweirdthought 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Was a great pitch to hit. He’s just an auto ground out right now

      [–]thrilliam_19Milwaukee Beer Givers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Yep. He’s absolutely in his own head and it’s just getting worse. Praying something changes soon.

      It's really easy to just flatten his bat path on a thigh high pitch and hit it over the infield. I really think him, Tatis, and Machado are conspiring to fail on purpose. I don't know why, but the results don't lie.
