One of these years I would love to see Yoan bat lefty vs LHP. He should be 8th or so in the lineup.

Too early for Hamilton in LF?

Boom!!!!

Great AB by Robert

Not once...Engel out hurts a bit the next few weeks

There we go!!

Let me know when Madrigal hits 30 homers or drives in 100

Madrigal?

Wtf is this broadcast

4 first pitch fastballs taken for strikes by first 4 hitters. I can’t believe Yoan is our cleanup hitter vs LHP

Oh fun

Went right under his glove

This team looks very flat

Didn’t that go right past Abreu?

Benetti still can’t judge a ball

Decent pitching matchup on ESPN2

He’s played in front of huge crowds in college before. This isn’t like a high school outfielder trying to judge a fly ball for the first time with an upper deck.

Here’s my annoyance...so we play Leury in LF against a RHP with a pitcher who strikes out a lot of guys in Giolito. Tonight we bench Leury against his strong side while playing Vaughn in LF with a non-strikeout pitcher in Keuchel.

No one gets more excuses made for him. It’s pretty simple, Madrigal just has to prove his naysayers wrong. Last night was Exhibit A for why some of us think he’s mediocre.

If the org was really shopping him this offseason, then they see the weaknesses as well

Iglesias also has better stuff than probably 99 pct of all righty pitchers. I get the feeling a lot of people haven’t seen him pitch much in the past. Robert hit the ball in 3 out of 4 ABs. He does that and he will be just fine.

That apparently Eloy died last week.

He was surrounded by a super team. I think he just lets the pressure get to him and the game goes too fast. Remember how awful he was in the College World Series?

He’s fast and gets out of the box quickly. Wouldn’t have been close.

Bummer wasn’t good, but he also wasn’t awful. Walking Upton was bad.
