Oh I absolutely agree about "panic" but fans have a right to be concerned about his season, and to be honest, I'm not concerned about Moncada quite yet but I had higher expectations this year than a 715 OPS.

To be fair, Kopech has a 5+ ERA in Triple A. The excuses for Moncada- raw, not much time against big league pitching, tons of pressure to be "the guy"- can't be said for Kopech. He's had plenty of time to develop in the US. That ERA is pretty discouraging, no matter if you're an optimist, pessimist or somewhere in between.

Great day for Cease. So far, a great day for Eloy and Dunning

Former CWS great JB Shuck went 4-7 for the Fish today

Getting people out without having to strike them out. He only has 2 K’s tonight. Dunning hasn’t given up a hit through 3

MIL won 2/3...?

Gonzalez last played on 6/10 but I can’t anything about an injury

Kopech up to 5 BB’s in 2 IP tonight. Laz Rivera is 2-4 so far on the way. Speaking of Kannapolis, did Luis Gonzalez get hurt? haven’t seen him in a box score in some time it seems

That POS Sano got optioned to single A ?

He could go 2 for his next 15 and his average would go up. He blows.

Two weeks ago, I was thrilled with the idea of watching Palka & Davidson battle it out for the remainder of the year for the starting DH spot in 2019. Now, I’d rather put a nail in my eyeballs over watching either of them hit.

Engel, on a 2 strike change-up, down on one knee for strike 3.

Sanchez - Rondon - Abreu- Palka- Smith- Davidson- Tilson- Engel- Thompson

If the rumors are true, Crawford’s issues are going nowhere. The “Hawks want Darling back” whispers only back that up. No way a team that’s typically cash-strapped is taking on a goalie who makes $4M a year unless it’s to be the starter.

He’ll be in WS next week

Definition of mind-boggling : mentally or emotionally exciting or overwhelming from Merriam Webster...

Eloy is 0-4 with 2 K’s & is down to .315. I really hope he’s just bored.

Even Hawk, who I dislike, consistently says that most players sit on fastballs because offspeed pitches are so tough to hit, especially now. Therefore why a lot of these guys, especially Sox, take a 92-96 mph fastball right down the middle is mind boggling

Woah, calm down. You obviously missed the argument I had last night in the GT with this poster. I’m agreeing with you. What you said about Palka? I said that about Moncada yesterday and he said that’s a dumb thought because fastballs are hard to hit Relax

Here comes a certain poster to tell you that this post is stupid because hitting is hard especially when you don’t see a straight fastball coming

Jake deGrom could be baseball's best pitcher and they're something like 2-8 in his last 10 starts. His ERA over that time is under 0.90.

You've met both?

Yeah, this poster and Greg are the same person

Even if he's bad tonight, I think we'll see a lot of "see, he's a fluke" stuff, but in reality, every good pitcher has a bad outing. I think we need to let this play out for the remainder of the year before making any true declarations.
