And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
               Shall be lifted—nevermore!
Edgar Allan Poe

It looked like Vilade actually dove too far. Tough play but he choked under pressure. Have to at least block it.

He doesn't impress as much of a fielder. On almost every fly he catches he has to make a last second lunge.

Vest is the proof that 98 doesn’t matter if you can’t get ahead. 

Actually he doesn't have a whole lot of split among batter ahead, pitcher ahead, neutral count.

But that OBP/SLG when the batter is ahead?  Boy, that sure seems like a typo, doesn't it?

Not defending him but Al Kaline of all people used to say that line drives/hard hit balls hit right at an OF are the hardest plays.   You are like an infielder at that point with little time to react.  Do you go in, out, left ,right, dive,smother?  In his case he made the right call at that point in the game but was just not athletic or skillful enough to make the play.

So he's good in low leverage situations and that's it...

That appears to be the case.  Now, I suppose BABIP is increasingly higher as the tension mounts, and maybe that "luck" is something to consider as a reason.  Or maybe that's a sign that pitches are a little different from leverage to leverage, I don't know.
