A great excuse to bump this thread.

Since only one person seemed to care about data, there is this. Survey Monkey has the number at 21%. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jtCzw4iHsdDqcyGzE5wKf12PHSPDQV-8/view YouGov at 19% of either favorable or very favorable. Quinipiac actually had the number at 9% Seeing as he had a 8% vote rate in the election from blacks, I can see the Democratic party is doing another bang up job winning hearts and minds with an actual racist in the white house. They really are going to screw up what should be the easiest electoral wins in history, aren't they.

There is no real need to troll another Moncada thread.

I was thinking the same thing as I read it. It would have been nice to see some unnamed scouts or managers talking about his defense instead of what we got.

DSL is 13-11 since bottoming out at 5-35.

It is worse to look at the stats in a vacuum and make assumptions based on feelings and angst. This isn't just strikeouts and OPS.

I am not sure what this even means, but the reality is that we are in the early stages of a rebuild. We have some players who are in their very first full season of major league baseball, and are quite literally learning on the job. This is what the process looks like. That process will be continuing for the foreseeable future. If you just need to see "results" and aren't willing to watch the games and understand the results, you should probably log out and come back in a few years when "results" should be available. The "results" in 2018 literally don't matter.

If you take out the K's on bad calls, he is there already. At last check he had been called out somewhere around 40 times on pitches that weren't strikes. I don't know why this keeps getting ignored.

Denied.

Great Falls right now.

What.The.Actual.Fuck?

I guess when it comes down to it, there is just a group of posters who can't handle the fact that the rebuild will take time, and that players might take some time to hit their potential. It happens. If you are so caught up in just looking at strikeouts and OPS to not see that Moncada has superstar talent in him, then you aren't watching baseball the right way. Moncada is still a pretty raw player. He also appears to be a super headstrong kid who, despite obviously having the entire White Sox coaching staff telling him to be more aggressive, hasn't been willing to listen to them, at least until this point. The thing that gives me more faith in him than in most are what his specific problems are. His strike outs are hugely exaggerated by refusing to swing at pitches which are even a spec of dust out of the strike zone. This is a problem that is much easier to fix than the problem of guys who chase out of the zone. Even just having the umpires give him the respect he deserves on the zone will make a huge difference. He will gain 50 OPS points just from that.

Just quit. This take is so hot, planets revolve around it.

A post like this SHOULD be embarrassing. The fact that you are suggesting teams would rather have guys like Bote or Alen Hensen proves my point.

This group doesn't really care about facts or reality. They only want to be throwing a temper tantrum.

Not only does Yolmer due parties, but he also officiates.

SUCK IT DETROIT!!!

I don't think most 2B's even get to that ball.

So what is the score, like 18-1 Detroit?
