Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Behavior in Blue Jays Game Catches Attention

Toronto Blue Jaysfirst basemanVladimir Guerrero Jr. has had a fantastic career in Major League Baseball. Since coming up to the majors during the 2019 season, Guerrero has put up a slash line of .289/.367/.494 with an .861 OPS, totaling 184 home runs and 598 RBIs.

Guerrero has been selected to five MLB All-Star Games, won two American League Silver Slugger Awards, one Gold Glove and was the American League Championship Series MVP last season.

While the Blue Jays have struggled to begin the 2026 season, Guerrero has had a successful year at the plate, except for his power numbers, which have seen a downtick through the first 18 games.

So far this year, Guerrero has batted .323 with an OPS of .861, hitting just one home run to go along with seven RBIs.

On Thursday, the Blue Jays dropped their second straight game to the Milwaukee Brewers, losing 2-1, which put their record at 7-11 on the season. In the game, Guerrero went 1-for-4 at the plate with a pair of strikeouts.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill struck out Daulton Varsho to end the frame. While Megill was walking off the mound toward the dugout, Guerrero, who was on deck, appeared to exchange words with the pitcher.

Guerrero's interaction with Megill drew the attention of fans online, who weighed in on the situation.

"vladdy getting fired up omg," said one fan.

"My franchise player defending our integrity i love you vladdy," commented another.

"Take your anger out on the baseball vladdy ," wrote one more.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, after the interaction with Megill, Guerrero led off the frame with a single. However, he was stranded at third base to end the game, as the Blue Jays lost another close game.

"Way to go Vladdy," the comments continued.

"Love seeing this from Vladdy," said another fan.

"vladdy should focus on hitting the ball over the fence," chimed in one more.

Guerrero and the Blue Jays will look to get back in the win column on Friday when they begin a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
