| Vladdy dropped it |
In fairness to Vladdy, who just straight-up dropped the ball that Isiah Kiner-Falefa had thrown to him adequately after a nice play at third, he (Vladdy) offered no excuse or even explanation for the error that led to three unearned runs (Kevin Gausman was pitching so much better, too!). He was just like hey what can I say; I dropped the ball and I don't feel great about it. Brutal! It wouldn't have been that big a deal, necessarily, had the boys been boppin', but there has been so little of that lately (Vladdy, himself, for instance, was oh-for-four with 2Ks on the day) that it was pretty much the game. The top of the order—Springer, Vladdy, and Bo—have been less productive so far this year than you would ever expect, and actually all three have been far less effective by OPS+ (what a useful tool that is, by the way! I am still jazzed about it because it still feels new! because I am old!) that the aforementioned and largely faultless Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Baseball: is pretty weird!
