Royals vs Sox 5:20pm Home Opener GT
Vaughn was on the roster either way. It was Mercedes who got the opportunity due to Eloy

A lot of guys have come back from TJS and pitched a full workload. Lynn for example

How you going to have nobody warming up in this situation?

Speaking of TA catching, does he say in that lawyer ad that nobody works harder than him behind the plate?
-

Upon further review you are correct

Sure didn’t look like a clean catch to me but we’ll take it

A Nick Madrigal Sized Sample
Considering it’s based on a single instance at a players top speed, I wouldn’t think sample size would have much effect

Feet per second in player’s fastest one second window

Mendick actually does play very good defense

A Nick Madrigal Sized Sample
Funny you should mention Saladino because he actually played the excellent defense with well above average speed and base running that Madrigal was purported to possess, but in fact has been quite the opposite. The bat really isn’t the issue here. We know what kind of hitter he is. The issue is the bat doesn’t play without the aforementioned. A young hitter is going to have ups and downs, but the speed and defense is either there or it isn’t. Throw in poor fundamentals, it doesn’t look good

I wouldn’t think speed would be impacted much by sample size

Maybe it has something to do with the kidney stones. If he let it go to point of infection, it might have taken a lot out of him
-
4-7 GT: CWS @ SEA (3:10 PM CT)
Well out of this crew he might be the best option. Which is why it’s so awful. Actually I’d probably have to go with Robert here with Grandal second
-
4-7 GT: CWS @ SEA (3:10 PM CT)
Yeah he’d be better there. Ideally he’d be batting 7th though
-
4-7 GT: CWS @ SEA (3:10 PM CT)
Sample size. He’s had one season in his career where he’s had 20% hit rate and that was 2017. Walks don’t bring runners home
-

Grandal is not a cleanup hitter. He only gets a base hit in less than 20% of trips to the plate
-

The worst part is grandal at cleanup
