He had a home run in Boston.
It wasn't a great swing, but it went over the fence.
He did a job twice yesterday, even if it didn't look that good.
And he had that cheapy single in the first inning.
How much can a guy like Vlad, like, use that to kind of exhale and build on it?
Or is the bar too high for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
for that to really, you know, do much for him, do you think?
He should... I mean, he's making $500 million and had, like, the second-best playoffs of all time.
I think the bar is fair.
I should point out as well that while Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
has had a frustrating season and he hasn't hit for power in big spots, his actual numbers with runners in scoring position are pretty good.
He's come up 71 times with runners in scoring position, and in half of those, 35 out of 71, he has either gotten a hit, a walk, a hit by a pitch, or a sack fly.
So 50% like do a job rate, which is pretty good.
I mean, there's zero home runs in those spots, but there are zero home runs in a lot of spots.
But yeah, I should point out because we've been pretty critical.
With runners on bases, we'll call it the do a job rate is like 50%.
That's good.
I like that.
Add that.
