One thing about Yoan so far in his career -- he posts, just like his idol Cano. They have so much in common. But, like Robbie said the other week -- Moncada has got the speed and explosion Robbie never did. In theory, the upside for Yoan glove wise is elite 2B whereas with Robbie he was never much more than average. Here's hoping the kid can stay healthy.

Officially day to day with left hamstring tightness. Get this guy a foam roller.

One day he'll have Robinson Cano's profile in the league and his manager will let him jog when he's not at 100% in order to keep his incredible talents in the lineup more often. I look forward greatly to that day. This is pro ball. The idea that you have to go balls to the walls all the time is counter-productive and naive. The worst thing you can say about future HOFer Cano is that he jogs to 1B. Let's hope that's the worst we can say about Moncada in 8 years.

Maybe, they seem to have him positioned perfectly in the OF so far this year. But he's a spray hitter when he's at his best so to an extent he should be immune to that.

Abreu has been so unlucky this year.

I'm going to be honest I think he hurt himself right there because he was at least a little afraid of Rickie's wrath for not hustling. Just my opinion. Meaningless game and he's busting ass on a bad ankle and makes it worse. So now he's going to miss time most likely. Pisses me off.

sprained ankle. Fuck.

Great now Moncada is hurt busting ass.

Good job Yolmer.

Even when his swing isn't locked in he's a better hitter than most our guys. Solid AB.

Dropping his front shoulder.

Yoan expanding the zone today, doesn't usually do that.

It's been fun watching the Sox on the bases this year.

what a play.

You could see it in the Fowler AB. It's easy to compare and contrast his demeanor with Lopez's and he doesn't look good in the comparison. Reading a lot into it but meh. Pitch better and I won't worry about body language.

God he falls apart easily. What a meatball.

God damnit.

He doesn't seem very good out of the stretch.

This ump sucks ass.

Ugh, why you swinging at the garbage?

Did he? I have no idea but he had a helluva gaffe yesterday.

Seems like the Cards have a very sound defense other than LF.

In the roid era Delmonico would have been a 30 jack a year guy.

oh man Jose makes me laugh a lot.

Someone was b****ing that he should have been more aggressive trying to steal. I'm with you. There's no need to pull him and there's no need to be going balls to the wall with a sore ankle.
