Ha- like that will happen. In today's fangraphs chat, Longenhagen talked about how Madrigal's swing is a bit different now than it was to start the college year.  Not enough top hand, too much chopping.

Â Not enough top hand, too much chopping. He's had a loooongg season. I think he deserves a little leeway to finish off these last few weeks of August. The real Madrigal critiquing can start next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I've said a few times I expect the Sox to try and clean up his swing a bit this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Sox fans are bored. That is my takeaway from this thread. Shame about service time rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like his thought was legitimate and her response insinuated that she believes he was being a smartass then went on to blame the Bats’ manager. No idea.

That's why I said "not the part about losing it to the point of giving up hits after the bunt." I kind of like the overall competitive attitude. It does need to be controlled though. He's a young maturing kid. He'll figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Acuna situation is totally different. It was in the first inning of the game and had nothing to do with anything in the game. Kopech took exception to something this player did. It was a dumb reason but there was a reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the reasons to hit someone are dumb but for something not specifically done for someone to take exception to is at the bottom.

Maybe so...... but you can be sure that if Madrigal doesn’t work out Fangraphs will put it on the organization, not their misreading of the prospect. They were way out there on Madrigal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, agree, but get ready. Kopech is Sale 2.0 in mind and body. We can only hope Kopech never suffers a broken foot in spring training while..."helping a friend move" or something.
