Bush with an RBI double.

Moncada slashing .500, .667, 1.000 since moving to the 8 hole.

Well, officially zero earned runs for Rodon.

Bush with a double.

That makes sense. Thanks.

Yeah, I totally get that. I’m just asking why round 33 was the time to pull the trigger. Why not wait until round 35? Why not earlier, say round 30?

If we liked him so much, I wonder what made us decide that round 33 was the time to pull the trigger. Would another team have taken him later in round 33? Why didn’t we take him in round 31 or 32?

If they used this site to make decisions, Moncada would have been in AAA a long time ago.

Then why not just start the innings with a guy on second base instead?

Time for a Moncada walk-off. Perfect ending.

I think swinging at that first pitch might have been huge. If he falls behind, he might be too worried to groove one, and he would have just walked.

Gotcha. Thanks. On a separate note, that lineup is just awesome to follow. I think I'm higher on Gonzalez than I am Basabe, Rutherford, and Adolfo. I'm envisioning a future outfield from left to right of Eloy, Robert, Gonzalez. Although Basabe is a year younger than Gonzalez, right? And he's doing pretty well at AA. Good problem to have.

His exact quote was, "We would just want to make sure he’s as well-rounded as possible, whether that be base running, defensively, obviously offensively...and we’re getting very close." That's not as definitive as saying, "he will be called up very soon", like some people are claiming. Not trying to call you out with this post. Just trying to point out that quotes get twisted and taken out of context a lot.

I'm confused. You hope they change it to an error?

Same here. Very cruel thread bump.
