caulfield12 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Robert seems to be standing 2-3 inches closer to the plate to cover the outside slider/offspeed stuff. Continuing to struggle with sliders and curves, but hard to be angry about anything after putting up 4 there.

Although I'd like it to see him have a more patient approach at the plate. His walk rate is way down. He's a dangerous hitter. Pitchers are going to be careful with him. But he's hacking at a lot garbage... my two cents. Just gonna go ahead and quote myself here... Abreu came out and took three pitches, and then got a good one to hit. Good job. Also nice job making it to second easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's invariably the biggest flaw out of the majority of Latin American prospects based on the pitches they see growing up in the Dominican, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. He's just in-between right now. Has too much talent not to come out of it, especially as some games get out of control and the last relievers out of the bullpen throw him more fastballs.

caulfield12 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Almost Marie Antoinette'd there. Decapitation, ala Jayne Mansfield. Gio saved himself a run with that defense already. Edited August 11, 2020 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have full confidence he'll adjust fine, he's way too talented to be taken down by a single flaw like that. But the pitchers are killing him right now.

caulfield12 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Dammit, MONCADA. Way way way too lackadaisical. 50% of the time Abreu doesn't come up with that one, AND ALL OF SOX TALK IS SHOUTING AT YOAN IN FRUSTRATION. Being too deliberate screwed up his footwork.
