You're not wrong.

The point is that you like baseball and enjoy following a team. Letting their failures affect you emotionally is kind of weird to me.

We've reached a strange time in sports fandom. There are people who want their team to fail so that they can be right. They find enjoyment out of their struggle to reaffirm their opinion. It's odd.

Not being emotionally invested in a game you can't control, but finding entertainment in that game.

It seems like he can't find the release point on his 4 seamer. His delivery mechanics look sound.

Another 3-2 slider

3-1 slider. 3-2 slider. That says a lot.

Trying to throw too hard. Gripping a different baseball. Confidence.

I hate when catchers double up the change.

I was just gonna say that. It's all part of the process.

That kid's got a wild delivery. He looks like he's bringing it like a closer.

I think you move Rutherford up to AAA next year. He'll probably struggle in the first half again. Have him repeat AAA and look for a September call up in 21.

The key to all of it is going to be Madrigal. Will he be good enough to justify moving Moncada off of 2nd. I doubt there's a GM in baseball who would trade Moncada for Machado. Harper's a big can of whatever.

Eloy doesn't have the talent of Robert. He has a much longer swing and slower hands too. The reason it took Moncada longer to adjust is because he has such an advanced approach. I think Robert will be much more aggressive at the plate, but won't have the same strike zone mastery as Moncada. To use a White Sox comparison, Moncada is more Thomas and Robert is more Belle. I think Eloy is somewhere in the middle, but he's not nearly as physically gifted as the other two. Robert and Moncada are physical specimens with tools across the board. Regardless, Robert's timetable for adjustment has absolutely nothing to do with Moncada or Eloy or any other player that's played MLB.

You realize development isn't linear right?
