It's just I –

Look, he won't do anybody any favors by coming out and being tough on his best player.

No.

You're just not going to – you know, when you're hearing that he's trying too hard and if your manager came out and started saying bad things about you, like, we all know what we see.

Yeah.

We all know that he hadn't hit a home run at home.

Yeah, that – let that roll off your tongue.

You know.

I mean, he really ain't even come close to hitting one either.

Well, there is a reason why John continuously says about how tough he's being pitched.

Well, newsflash, it's the big leagues.

You know, and we've had numerous people, and I think it was Chipper Jones.

And Chipper Jones said he sat in the meeting before the Blue Jays were playing the Braves, and most of the meeting, the pitcher's meeting, was about how do you get Vladdy out.

You know, it's no secret that he is –

Kind of the first guy that they have a conversation about.

And for me, it's up to Vladdy.

Vladdy's been in the big leagues long enough to not let this fester as long as he has.

That's the thing, right?

This is very individual.

It's got nothing to do with David Popkins or his uncle or his dad.
