Robert triple Taken out of the game. It’s his 21st birthday. Be good.

Robert- leadoff single, stolen base, run scored in game 2

Nice!

Madrigal went 1-5, no ks

Stay strong 4/12/2019

Madrigal 1-3, popped out to 1b, so he’s no Votto.

Plus it’s an economic scam. The PA should want starting pitchers. You start a game, you don’t pitch for three days.

Madrigal 1-2

Eloy double 4/12/2019

Madrigal ground out. Just glad they’re playing.

Dodgers moved 20-yr old SS Gavin Lux to AA. He singled in his first AB. 3-4, homer

It is pretty amazing how polarizing he is. I said earlier today that I think his next 162 games played will be much better, and at least one person took it as a shot. His first 162 have been uneven, to say the least. His talent is immense, but if he just makes the routine play and finds a better approach at the plate, he’s going to be an MVP candidate someday.

If Madrigal gets picked 4th out of college, and doesn’t make it to the big leagues, literally everyone in the prospect business is wrong. He’s going to be the Sox 2b because he puts the bat on the ball, plays solid defense, and isn’t going to be an idiot on or off the field.

So, is 235 k’s in your first 162 games played an all-time record?

Through 108 (record in games 55-108): 1. Bal 33-75 (16-38) 2. KC 34-74 (16-38) 3. Sox 38-70 (21-33) 4. SD 42-66 (20-34)

Madrigal batting 6th

Bam!!! well, it was fun while it lasted. 3rd pick ain’t bad.

Comical

Experience. I think it’ll get through to him that he needs to be more aggressive with two strikes and just get the bat on the ball. I guess I’m just being optimistic that these tools he has turn into a baseball player.

I’m saying his slash line will improve. His k’s will be a lot fewer. His defense will be better- probably at 3b if he gets moved. His flashes of athleticism are great, but he’ll be a more well-rounded player by the end of 2019.

Cool

Today is the 162nd game played in the big leagues for Moncada. My guess is 163 to 324 will be a lot better. He’s too good not to improve a lot.
