Blair & Barker · Not Wavering on the '26 Jays + Hitter's Buildup with Chipper Jones · 4 Jun 2026 podcast

Once maybe twice and you're you know, you're you're facing different guys the other three times my philosophy was if I was if a righty was starting I wanted to take my left-handed swings on the field which put the onus of the cage work prior to batting practice on the right side.

The last thing you want to do as a switch hitter, especially let's say early season.

You're playing in New York and it's it's cold and you fit left-handed three times and then all of a sudden they bring in John Franco.

to face you and you know, you take an aggressive swing the first time that's when you that's when you hurt your obliques, you know, because you haven't properly warmed it up.

You haven't properly prepared for that at bat later on in the game.

So it was always imperative for me to work on the offside before

before batting practice, in the cages, and then concentrate on the starter and my left-handed swings out on the field.

Yeah, I think you start to put more and more pressure on yourself the farther and farther you go.

And this is not just Vladdy.

You're seeing guys all over baseball, whether it's Fernando Tatis.

Like I said, up until the last week, Ronald Acuna Jr.

only had two homers.

So it's happening to some really good players.

I think...

The more you try and maybe concentrate on hitting the ball through the outfield wall as opposed to lifting the ball over the outfield wall, the better off you're going to be because trying to hit the ball through the outfield wall promotes that backspin that gets you carries.

Yes, some of them might actually hit the wall, but, you know, a nice hard pass

a line drive single or a double in the gap could be the the kickstarter to you know one of those streaks that we all know that those guys are capable of i can promise you this having sat in on the last two days of hitters and pitchers meetings down at the stadium here in atlanta um

the Braves are very cognizant of not letting Vladdy beat them.

You know, I know there there are other guys in that lineup that can hurt you.

Clements good bar shows having a pretty good year, but Vladdy is the one guy that we are, you know, not going to allow to beat us, you know, in a clutch situation.
