Blue Jays replay team drops the ball again
The play in question took place in the Jays recent game against the Baltimore Orioles. With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on first base and one out, Anthony Santander hit a long fly ball to right-centre field. Vladdy was heads up, advancing to second on the play. However, the Orioles felt that Guerrero left early and threw the ball to first base to appeal. Vladdy was called out to end the inning.
Jomboy's beef came not with Vladdy, but with John Schneider, the replay team, and the Jays perceived lack of support for their $500MM player.
After the game, Schneider said they chose not to appeal the play because although they felt Vladdy was in the right, they didn't have all the angles and thus didn't that the call would get overturned. Which is a fair point.
However, Jomboy also broke down an exchange between Guerrero and third base coach Carlos Febles. After Vladdy pleaded his case, Febles could be seen mouthing 'don't tag'. Doesn't seem like there was much sticking up for Vladdy.
No one had his back. No one. They just gaslit him into believing it.
Jomboy does though. He places two clips side-by-side to show that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. did not in fact, leave early.
You tell em' Jomboy.
