That's horse ****. Even Buck was talking about it early in the game.

Vladdy also wasted a year of Vladdy as well, if that makes any sense.
A step back in performance this year (11% in OPS+) was very disappointing as well as no more focus on the field.

Varsho is a great bunter for hits. He is also our lowest average hitter. Rolling things over to the next guy was not a bad try. At worse it got two guys into scoring position, even with 2 outs. And at least we know Kirk will score on a hit from 3rd - not so from 2nd.

Of course even if that is the case, you know JS will likely rush it to the pen as soon as possible to show he is doing something in a must win game/

The 1987 USSR world junior hockey team. Not professional, but winners of any of these categories.
