Ho boy...
Not good that he's replying to fan comments. Clearly the criticism is getting to him.

Being the best he can be at baseball is never going to be a high priority in his life. Too bad Dipoto and Stanton couldn't see that before offering him a contract.

While I agree Julio could use a little more focus, the idea that his DJing a post game event was somehow the reason for the M's downfall is ridiculous. It's not like he was snorting lines off a stripper between innings or something.

It's a broader reflection on where his focus was.
Julio DJ'd on August 7th. His OPS leaving that night was .752.
From 8/8 to 9/8 Julio was the 8th worst qualified hitter in baseball with a 33 wRC+.
He slashed .162/.208/.256/.464.
This was during one of the most crucial runs for the team to get to the playoffs.

I do think with Julio we need to remember the concussion. While there's a multi-year narrative of declining performance that's legitimate, the concussion is also a real thing.

He slashed .268/.325/.451/.776 for a 118 wRC+ from 7/18 (when he came back) to 8/7.
Maybe if the concussion was an issue, he probably shouldnt have been out DJing to loud music, strobe lights, what have you... until 11pm following a night game.

Just when we thought he couldn't possibly be any dumber, he goes and does something like this...AND TOTALLY REBUFFS HIMSELF!
