There have already been plenty of opinions thrown around about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. not playing yesterday against the Red Sox, however, let’s recap why folks thought it was such a short-sighted decision.
First, Victoria Day is a National holiday in Canada, and with the Blue Jays playing at home it was an opportunity for the ballpark to fill up on a Monday afternoon (which it did relative to their usual attendance lately), and for fans to tune in at home on their television sets. Not having the best player in the lineup is a major bummer for excited fans.
