In today's era it is difficult to discipline a player - but I suggest that Vlad be told that he is to sit near the coaches and manager and not in his special end of the dugout spot (someone else can flirt with Hazel) and be more intense about the game. Also stop chatting and joking with every other opposing player who reaches first base. Maybe this weekend is a good sign but I am tired of Vladdy having fun while going 0 for 4.
Why is it always Vladdy that dumps the ice bucket?
I suspect there is a hierarchy in the clubhouse with Vlad on top
We have proven we are a better than average club going 7 for 9 against 500 clubs
No surprise there
We are pretenders not contenders
Odds of winning division is very small but we got a decent shot at WC
but the Big Show is out of our reach as we cannot beat the best because of Vlad
not doing his job of driving in RISP that his position is supposed to do
He has had 2 years to learn how to hit pitchers that have learned
his weakness and he has not so it will not happen tomorrow
When pitchers discuss how to pitch to the Jays they are talking about Bo not Vlad
Bo should be in the 3 or 4 position with Vlad in the bottom third of line up
where pitchers take a breather to save energy
