fathom

He has aluminum bat power. A lot of the homers he hit the opposite way at Cal land at the warning track now. I’m not sure what the numbers were like last year, but he just can’t hit RHP sliders it seems.

Just laughed as soon as he hit that. Maeda has nothing to put him away.

5 tools!

Maldonado’s at bats resemble those of an NL pitcher a few years ago.

Good for him!

Woof, that was a bad swing on a bad pitch

I think I see why Orioles tried to trade Hall for Cease. Velocity down 3.5 mph today as a starter.

Hard to explain, but at least he could tell it was gone off the bat

Vaughn would have been so good during the steroid era

Of course, took a hanger and weakly grounded to 2nd

at least he’s still good. I like that home run call

How could someone imagine this wouldn’t be a disaster?

The talent level is way worse this year

Doing all the little things right under Grifol

This team is just so pathetic. Can’t believe anyone actually pays to go to the games.

Maldonado is the worst framer I’ve ever seen

Yep, need to protect. Had similar issues in ST.

There will be so many “I told you so” on this site. He looked great though yesterday, and it would make his starts worth watching if he can stay healthy.

Eder 2.0

Remillard playing 1B

I feel like I will be legitimately surprised if/when Maldonado gets hits.

And low ceiling prospects

Their pitching coach is amazing. Flaherty hit 97 the other day.

Not even close….this season already feels exhausting.

God forbid there are fun players on the team
