The bat is fine IMO. It’s going to be very BABIP-reliant, but it’s definitely playable as the 9th hitter. It’s the defense that is borderline unplayable this season. He has this year to show it can improve. If it doesn’t, I expect he’s on the trade market this offseason.

Half the board blames Hahn, have blames Kenny.

No reason to call Madrigal an “ass hat”

Mets defense looks like Little Leaguers. Meanwhile the Reds are giving Fulmer important innings

I‘m not sure Madrigal could throw a ball that far, and that’s not mocking him. One of the worst throws I’ve ever seen.

Agreed about throwing out the projections, so if that’s the case, why should we be confident his defense and base running will improve? As Stoney just said on the radio, Madrigal needs to stop lobbing the ball over to first.

Yep couldn’t have worked out better. Tony was a genius to use all the relievers last night

This is fantastic news

It definitely wasn’t just for him.

Considering he was being included in trade proposals this offseason, I would say the front office has concerns a well

It doesn’t even bother me where he was picked now. IMO, it’s all about whether or not getting a lot of singles outweighs his horrible defense and base running. Given all the core players locked into other spots, 2B seems like a position in need of upgrade down the road if the Sox want to build a super team.

Great positioning thankfully

Lopez pitched yesterday

How about we stop asking him to get up and down. Should be a one inning guy.

Sure, that Dodgers catcher in the postseason a few years ago

Pitch selection for Heuer was awful. Also doesn’t seem like he’s throwing his slider as much.

Save situation time as Grandal is drunk

That’s our left fielder!!

Me

God did they mess up not cashing in on him. There were a lot of red flags with him after last year.

Imagine being such a bad manager you let Crochet face Luplow there and then pull him

Notice no one is chasing anything

If Heuer is loosening, why is he not in?

This version of Crochet is really nothing special.

Doing everything in their power to give Indians a shot
