QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 09:45 PM) Fathom are you completely convinced Moncada is not an MLB player already? he only has had 300 ABs. When he starts to approach 700 ABs and he's still struggling like this then I'll get worried. I definitely think he's a major leaguer, but I'm seeing no improvement at all so far. No clue on offspeed pitches and struggling to put fastball in play. As a righty, he's not big league quality. Im very disappointed in his hit tool so far. He has no idea how to stay alive down in the count

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 09:45 PM) it's a long season thank god. Yep can't wait until we face actually good teams. Gonna take 150 pitches to get 27 outs

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 09:42 PM) #firerenteria Of course, people really bought into him being long term?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 09:42 PM) yeah so...gotta bench Yoan for that. I get when guys are pressing so much trying something else, but you can't have him then fail that badly. I'm sure his exit velocity on the bunt would have been great

This team is a disaster. Yoan looks horrible

Assume Leury here?

Here comes the bunt

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 08:28 PM) I'm not so sure they are hitting s***ty as much as they are bad at baseball. You mean Davidson isn't a cleanup hitter? The K rate on most of these guys is sickening

So Davidson decided he will walk more and also just take called 3rd strikes. Yay

Good contact this inning

QUOTE (Moncada @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 09:03 PM) This team needs to learn to hit the ball all over again I blame Ron

Yoan continues to just swing and miss at nearly every offspeed pitch he sees. 20k in 51 at bats

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 08:56 PM) What value does Adam Engel bring to a MLB caliber team? Super small sample size, but he's already our worst fWAR defensive player

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 08:53 PM) If you take the weather, the opponents, and the results, it has to be one of the worst homestands they have ever had. It's been a course in how to kill any casual fan interest with a week of games. Things were so going well and then Soria blew it. Team seems to be pressing ever since

More 2 strike, 2 out damage....that's new

Chokers....team can't hit offspeed pitches

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 11:00 PM) garbage team is garbage Tampa sucks also

Just saw 9th. Good try

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 10:28 PM) Is there a single one of you that doesn't miss Hawk now? Woof. Wish they would start from scratch with both tv and radio

Amazing how bad they are with risp

Nice hit for Yoan. Should steal here

Welington out with knee soreness

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 09:26 PM) The thing about young teams is they feed off eachotehr good and bad. Except when they get cold, they all get cold together and for longer than when they get hot. But when they get hot it's something you can dream on. Feels like a team that when Abreu is going well, everyone else feeds off of it. Good news is Abreu is going well more than he's struggling.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 08:19 PM) Hitting .181 as a team, with RISP, isn't helping matters. Do you think it's cause pitchers are more likely to throw offspeed pitches in those situations as they go for the strikeout?

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 08:14 PM) not rocket science why....he sucks batting right handed. Truly wonder if he will ever stop batting righty. Give him this year, but they will have to re-evaluate it
