Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Just an all around brutal day for this club. Take the off day and regroup. What a dog s*** performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 07:18 PM) Because like I just said, Detroit SHOULD bring a lefty in since he sucks ass as a righty. Follow now? As a poster said, he's hitting poorly from both sides right now, so it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 6, 2018 -> 01:18 AM) Probably Moncada's worst game in the majors. Patience is overrated if you can't make contact with two strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 6, 2018 -> 01:19 AM) 0-6 with 4 K’s. That’s really terrible. At this rate I just hope he hits .250 His hit tool has been incredibly underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yoan could be like Alexei... starts off cold and gradually warms up with the weather. We'll find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 07:20 PM) He'll be fine. R E L A X Seriously. He's had 1-2 bad games this season and apparently the sky is falling. I'm a sabermetrics guy but jesus, it's been 6 games and people actually care about his rate stats? Watch the game, perhaps. He's hitting the ball well and has been quite unlucky, aside from today being just awful of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I'm not too worried about Moncada. The bullpen however is a nightmare. That should not happen at this level especially for Rick. That's just a miserable job by him assembling that trash. What happens after you trade Nate? You cant keep these young starters on short starts and have a s*** bullpen.

SonofaRoache Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Moncada needs to leave the leadoff spot until he stays over .270. If the Sox are gonna keep playing like this I imagine half of our fans will tune out until the rebuild is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knickname Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I remain surprised. Two decent team starts in a row: Fulmer, then James. I like that part. And I like the hitting from the usual suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Honestly, this team is where the should be... FIVE starting pitching performances mostly wasted by: -horrific defense (Engel in Toronto, Leury today) -gas can bullpen (today was promising with D-Farq, Avil', and Nate, then it came apart) Yea we can beat up a 22 year old kid, but this is major league baseball, success doesn't come easy. Only thing I'd maybe do with Yoan is move him down in the order to let him regroup and hit...see the ball, hit the ball. I think he's "thinking" too much at the plate in trying to be the perfect leadoff hitter. He may not be a leadoff hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 People are acting like before this season, Moncada was a consistent, contact hitter. Dude's K rate is absolutely sickening, at ALL levels of professional baseball so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is moving him down in the order not playing? I think a case could be made to move him down from a mental standpoint. I get the development aspect and if you'll see my posts I have not thrown the kid under the bus, I love his potential. But IS HE putting too much pressure on himself to be a perfect leadoff hitter? Maybe letting by great pitches he can handle in an attempt to "work the count", instead of smashing the first good pitch you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
