But with certain guys, you're just not necessarily going to get over the hump with them because for whatever reason it's just not in their comfort zone and it's something that they have to work on.

Yeah, I think if you want to criticize Vladi, you could probably criticize the judgment.
voice-verified
Sometimes there are moments where he doesn't explode out of the box where situationally it might be advantageous in terms of breaking up a double play, or there's just a chance the play could go a little bit haywire.
voice-verified
But, you know, and there's also sometimes where he's a little bit too aggressive, right?
voice-verified
Like he's an aggressive base runner.
voice-verified
Yes.
voice-verified
Which is a bit of a strange thing to say about, you know, a big
voice-verified
I don't wanna say lumbering, 'cause he's got some mobility, but like he is a big power first baseman.
voice-verified
You don't associate that with aggressive base running, but he really he likes to get first to third if he can.
voice-verified
He likes to go second to home and he'll score on a double and so
voice-verified
A lot of that demonstrates that he is willing and able to hustle.
voice-verified
The criticism with him shouldn't be about him not caring or not being willing to do that.
voice-verified
It should be that sometimes he picks the moments incorrectly in terms of, you know, what you said, in terms of gearing up and gearing down and deciding this is the moment for Vladdy hustle time.
voice-verified
Yeah, you know, it's not always perfect.
voice-verified
But it was great tonight.
voice-verified
And it that resulted in a run and this is a one run ball game.
voice-verified
So this might be a very different episode of Jay's talk if Vladdy didn't see that first thing opportunity as a time to turn on the Jets and you know make it happen with a little bit of a creative slide under the arm.
voice-verified
It's not necessarily evidence that he's building momentum from last week.
voice-verified
He didn't have the swing and miss stuff in the same way.
voice-verified
The velocity was a little bit down.
