  1. Some nice home field official scoring to give him an unearned run.
  2. Cease strikes 3 guys out, but needs 42 pitches and gives up 1 run. That's quite the lengthy inning.
  3. Man that's bad managing by Renteria. Have to put the contact play on when Engel is on deck.
  4. Agreed, no explosion in his legs. His defense has been good at least.
  5. Have to wonder also if they thought they would unload Shields to create an opening. Either way, Getz really messed up in that interview a few weeks ago.
  6. Gotcha, I thought you were referencing his huge power increase. IIRC, Roberts had an amazing base stealing technique in terms of getting a running lead.
  7. I said this numerous times watching him at Oregon St, but he's not super fast. He's way more effective due to his instincts. He was something like 39/47 stealing bases in his Beavers career. I'm sure he'll get more effective as he learns the personnel he's facing.
  8. Brian Roberts got busted for using PEDS. He's a bad comparison.
  9. Way closer to 5-8 than the 15-20 some have projected on here. I've seen highlights of him making real good contact for W-S and not being able to get it over outfielder's head.
  10. The turnaround with his command over last month plus has been nothing short of incredible.
  11. I totally agree he's probably completely gassed. I've said a few times I expect the Sox to try and clean up his swing a bit this offseason.
  12. 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.
  13. Rondon did a great job of holding him back. Grudz must have been too busy to protect him.
  14. Hit the guy in the ass, not the head. Who knows, maybe the guy is dating his ex now?
  15. That's a little much, don't you think
  16. At least he didn't break his hand this time
  17. Wow, he needs to keep his emotions in check
  18. Yes was scheduled today
  19. Impressive barrel control by Eloy in his first at bat
  20. highest exit velocity in baseball (we've heard that before). Thing that impresses me the most is his defense at 3rd is absolutely incredible.
  21. It's really too bad they're not giving Hamilton a chance to close at the major league level.
  22. One thing to keep in mind is that he's had something like 6 or 7 runs added on to his total this year because of horribly blown strike 3 calls not being made. The start in Texas is the perfect representation of that. If I didn't know any of the stats, I would say he's looked like a 3 to 3.25 ERA pitcher this year.
  23. Rodon really being a workhorse is impressive and unexpected.
