But we see it almost every year, almost once a year.

Vladdy goes through this stretch where he does try to do a bit much.

And eventually you've got to learn that doesn't work.

You know, 110% does not work in baseball.

It just doesn't.

That extra 10%, it flings around and comes back and smacks you.

And I think that's what Vladdy is running into right now.

He's just not being himself, which is frustrating because being himself is one of the best hitters in the league.

We saw it in the postseason, but I think he's trying to extend outside of that right now.

Yeah, elbows always scare me.

Like, I know it's good that John Schneider said today it's not ligament or bone chips or anything.

That's good.

That's a good start that you're not talking about a UCL.

But inflammation, we'll see.

I mean, he is capable of doing things other human beings just aren't.

Like, no one throws a baseball as hard as the throw you are watching right now.

Ideally, this is just a 10-, 12-day thing.

We'll see.

But he's got to get in a groove, man.

This lineup needs Barger.
