you just knew we werent going to score Robert from second that inning

just pathetic

In a way its a good thing, if Garcia got a hit there he would have been our leadoff guy going forward.

This is where Leury hitting leadoff kills us. 3 on base for his sub 100 OPS

Theres no excuse batting leury leadoff, disgusting also to an admin, the ads block the post function on the mobile site. Just an FYI. Had to go to my computer to voice my displeasure in this garcia decision.

Since you guys love talking about size, Pedroias first 30 games were abysmal in both defense and offense, look it up. Jose Altuve's OPS was 700 in his first 3 seasons. Madrigal deserves more time to develop just like any other player that comes up. Eloy, Moncada, Tim, Robert have all had stretches in their first couple of years that had us pulling out our hair, yet never even seen the hate close enough to this. Moncada had 300 strikeouts in his first 900 atbats and hit a whopping 715 OPS. Anderson had a 730 OPS in his first 100 games. Paul Konerko had a 600 OPS in his first 80 games. Are they stronger than Madrigal? Yeah I am not going to argue that at all, but Madrigal's OPS in his only 40 games played is 745. Madrigal is also surrounded by strength and conditioning coaches, theres no reason to think hes at his strength ceiling. I would be happy with an .800 OPS from him, especially if he shores up the defense. On that note, going back to Pedroia, I love this scouting report during his draft year: Thats pretty much a Madrigal scouting report. His defense has been really pissing me off just as much as anyone, but its not worth writing him off because of it. I am going to give him a couple of years before I grab the pitch fork and make short jokes all day.

If hes david eckstein going forward thats a win. Id take 15 war over the next 6 years easy.

I didnt see it live but ive watched the highlight about 20 times.

We need to find room for Mendick... can he learn a corner OF spot?

What a lucky garbage hit

The wheels are falling off

Also im getting ads in Russian on here, should i be concerned ?

That is a hot take, without looking at his numbers id say hes been pretty damn good Edit:Then hits in a dp lol

Can Mendick play the outfield?

Whoa where did vaughn think that was?

Thats the strangest slash line ive seen in a while

Wheres the Madrigal hate from the lanklets here?

Can Keuchel go one more? I hope so

I love Vaughn

Thought that was gone off the bat, what a weird inning

Guy cant find the fucking plate and abreus plan was to swing at everything. What the hell was going through his head?

Terrible atbat

Dont you guys just love bunting in the 2nd inning against a pitcher with no control? I just love that amazing strategy

Actually i havent seen anything definitive.. switching to safe

He looks out to me
