This is an off night for Giolito and he's still thrown 10 strikeouts to 1 walk.

They suck, especially if you live on the east coast because they start at 10 pm. But I am on night shifts right now so I'm up all night.

He's not trash, we just know he has a sky-high ceiling as a player and he's capable of far better results than he's had

Luis Robert is too good for all those trash at-bats he was having.

Attaboy Vaughn

Here's a screenshot of Nick Madrigal hitting a 250-foot shot:

aahhhh that makes sense

that's clear as mud, lol My assumption would be the pitcher finishing the at-bat

And abridged scouting reports

When a pitcher has to finish another pitcher's matchup, who gets credited with the stats (hit, walk, strikeout, etc)?

What happened to Paxton? I'm at work and don't have the game on.

Much as Anderson was a bust he was far from the worst thing they trotted out there. He was better than, say, Encarnacion, or Palka, or LaRoche

In a perfect world they'd have been easing him back in last year, but pandemic is pandemic, so here we are (also because the pitching was razor-thin then too)

Robert's scouting report probably says something to the effect of "fastball 6 inches off the corner, sinker, or slider, because he will swing at anything even remotely close to the zone and either strike out or harmlessly pop up" It's still far too early to actually be worried about him because he's shown off-the-charts ability, but he clearly hasn't adjusted to the league yet and he is not able to simply dominate with his physical ability anymore like he could in the minors.

Yeah Ohtani was throwing 101, I didn't know he could throw that hard

he was hitting triple digits his last outing, though I might be confusing him with Crochet

Kopech's got "it." Wish we had him on last year's squad but it is what it is.

Luis Robert's scouting report probably says "he will swing at anything even remotely close to the zone"

lmao I posted almost the exact same thing at the same time.

Robert 100% would have cut off Eloy on that liner Vaughn just caught.

I really didn't think Rodon had 98 mph in him.

YERMINATOR!

All right Yoan that's a start

Channeling his inner Luis Robert there.
