  1. now that is the perfect time to call the squeeze. fast runner, shit batter.
  2. and is adam engel ever well positioned? what is up with that.
  3. tip your cap there. 97 on the black and he hits it 420 feet.
  4. From the Athletic, Jim Bowden on Basabe: Luis Alexander Basabe, CF, Chicago White Sox Age: 21 Winston Salem, Carolina League .339/.443/.627, 2 HR, 12 RBIs Basabe was part of the Chris Sale blockbuster trade with the Red Sox in December, 2016. He is a 4-tool player coming into the season with the only question being his “hit” tool. However, it looks like the bat is starting to arrive, as he’s off to an incredible start in A ball and if he keeps this up, he’ll be flying up prospect ranking boards because he can impact the game with his speed and glove. Rick Hahn, White Sox GM: “He played most of 2017 with a meniscus injury that was repaired late in the season. Now completely healthy. Early on he has displayed the intriguing combination of power, speed and defensive ability that our scouts thought so highly of at the time of the deal”.
  5. Wait are you telling me I got to watch a victory last night, with Moncada going crazy, and tonight I get to watch Reynaldo pitch? What are these fun things and why are they happening?
  6. #1 searched player on Fangraphs this morning. Passed Baez in fWAR. ZIPS updated now projects him at 3.9 fWAR for the year. That's the 24th best updated projection for position players. (ie given what he's already produced and what they projected he's projected to be the 24th ranked position player at end of year.) He's awesome, and we should enjoy this. He'll struggle again but enjoy the ride.
  7. that's bs. after he missed the fuckign first one and perez can't even catch it. fuck off ump.
  8. Nice to be able to laugh about it in a 6-2 game with Yoan having another monster.
  9. speed and power, what a combo in Moncada.
  10. what an weak ass swing for a MLBer. looping line drive.
  11. I think Judge and Yoan are going to break some older "Hawk types" this year. It's a different MLB. Very different.
  12. Trayce > Engel. At least he will run into one on occasion.
  13. I will take the "baby steps" tonight but he's still not missing nearly enough bats. I think he's thrown 1-2 good curves tonight and his fastball at 92 is not going to cut it. He's also left numerous changeups up and right over the plate that he has gotten lucky with.
  14. We have a pretty damn good infield when Abreu is healthy. The OF is worst in MLB. Pitching staff is too.
