Was literally typing that but figured it's been said enough about Nicky

Give him literally a year from now before deciding what to do.

Ball has always flown off his bat, just couldn't tell because it was on the ground

Is Omar using an aluminum bat now? He's hitting great

My god, don't trade him

8 of 11 changeups by Felix have been swung on and missed. Better swing early in the count.

I know I've said this before, but why not let Avi DH this weekend instead of playing the field?

Cause they're not good hitters and have no game plan at all. Against Felix, you have to attack fastball before he uses offspeed stuff.

This is where you have to be personally patient and instead of seeing him this year for your entertainment, you convince yourself you'd much rather he be around an extra year in his prime.

Surprised he didn't hurt every part of his body. I will say, I think Felix missed first initially and he was safe

I totally agree

Also saw a stat that said he takes the highest amount of pitches with 2 strikes, which increases the chances of getting bad calls against him.

He's like the Mark Buehrle of hitters. Quick at bats due to making so much contact at the plate.

3-5 for Madrigal

Eloy 2-2 with a double

Btw, Hickory tried to get that elusive first K against him but failed despite bringing in guy with 68 K in 37 IP

Thankfully he broke out of his 1 at bat slump and doubled

Has Madrigal played SS since his first game?

Familia was traded for A's 17th best prospect and a NR prospect. I know Soria has an extra year, but it's not like it's a small amount he's owed. I would say most trade proposals on here for Soria are 2-3 times more than what they will get.

Over last 30 days, he has the third worst fWAR in all of baseball (only Hosmer and VMart worse). On the season, he's one of the 5 worst "high leverage" hitters in baseball. For the season, he's a negative fWAR player now.

Solid contact, not even close to a homer.

Nice eye for Yoan

Just a horrible effort by the offense

Pretty sure the Moonstars stole Abreu's ability

Every throw Delmonico makes into the infield is garbage. He looks very bad all around tonight.
