Terrin Vavra Bandwagon

[Just Regular]

It was only a couple seconds as the cameras went to the high fives, but did anybody else notice Vlad going across the bag a little awkwardly as he tried to beat the turn?

I kind of hope Vavra is up top to get at least 3 maybe 4 matchups with Manoah.    Manoah is an Ace Bully in the best ways Aces are Bullies, and I think some of the acid test for Vavra will be when bullies just try and knock the bat out of his hands.    Manoah probably won't let Vavra's Chase Rate acumen come into play much.

Vavra is batting .294. Should let him play everyday and see how he hits?

Well he's playing LF tonight.

By making him chase?

By filling up the strike zone.    The league walks a little over 8% of batters, but Manoah is down around 5.5%.

Then, he likely pitches to him and that’s good for Vavra.

Love Vavra but don’t think he turns the double play in the 3rd or the ground out to end the 7th.   Still need him in the lineup though

I think we see Vavra at 2B today to start the game. Need his bat in the lineup.

Nope.  Odor starting.  Vavra not starting anywhere.

Yes, those were bang-bang plays, as they say, that required the strongest arm. If the rest of the lineup hits well from here on out, we can carry Odor at second.

Boy - the shine came off the Vavra penny in a hurry.  He went from being the disciplined, red-hot bat that just got on base to an after thought at the end of the bench that can't see the field anymore.  A prolonged slump at the plate and that weak throw from second on the double play have him buried on Hyde's bench.  I hope he figures it out.  Is a trip back down to Norfolk in his future? A chance to get some ABs and regain his confidence?

Or the counter-momentum throw by Odor to first for the short RF-ground out that ended the last game against Cleveland two nights ago.

But now we know Henderson could have done it.

There’s never been a doubt about Henderson’s arm.

Vavra vs Odor. Who would you give more playing time to?
