June 17, 20178 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20170617 Robert 2-3 with a double, walk, K
June 17, 20178 yr You forgot to mention his two steals, haha. https://www.milb.com/milb/news/chicago-whit...982/t-185364810 Glowing write up about Moncada, with video of nifty play at second as well. Seems to be all of his problems were pressing, trying to do too much...and getting a bit frustrated with a number of hard hit balls going right at fielders. Also mentioned how opposing pitchers were limiting him to just a few hittable pitches in some games, sonhavingbthe discipline just to accept his walks and not expand the strike zone. Hopefully I am wrong...that the thumb and wrist are both 100% healed now. At any rate, sigh of relief. And he obviously prefers the action on the infield and has the tools to play there. Maybe Anderson moves to CF and becomes Austin Jackson Jr. for us (good version). Edited June 17, 20178 yr by caulfield12
June 17, 20178 yr 2-3 with 2 BB and 2 SB for Robert. After not playing professionally for a year, hopefully a game like this help knock off the rust and get him back into a groove.
June 17, 20178 yr Author That's a stat line that I forget to look at, but yeah it's nice he's showing in game speed.
June 17, 20178 yr Dunning back under 4 era in first game of WS doubleheader...seems to have settled after rough transition to Carolina League. A hit and K through 2, down to 3.78 era. Collins walk, Hawkins K, what else is new? (And Mieses sounds too close to measles, not a superstar name like ROBBER). Collins single, currently .228 and 846. Basabe two K's. (Speaking of Red Sox prospects, did anyone notice Benintendi's D isn't grading out well, only a 0.7 war so far? Devers might be the superstar when all is said and done over there.)

June 17, 20178 yr Hawkins bomb...on the road back to...Birmingham. Next he will go off like Avi. Well, probably not. Dunning really getting into a good groove in this one. All the pitchers! 6/3/0/0/1/6. 3.38, 88 pitches. DUNN Deal!!!...7/3/0/1/7, sportier 3.29 era Edited June 17, 20178 yr by caulfield12
June 17, 20178 yr Awesome game for Dunning. Hopefully this gets him back on track to be somewhat close to what he was for Kannapolis.
June 17, 20178 yr Hoping for a really good outing from Rodon tonight. Can't wait to have him back with the big club.

June 17, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 06:23 PM) Seems to be focusing on command tonight, as velocity is near 90 (adjusted for slow gun) Expect a super boring line tonight: low K, low BB, some hits, he looks pretty sharp given his approach.
June 17, 20178 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 12:36 AM) Big ups to Comcast for putting these games on, really nice. Yep, Chuck and Guff have done an incredible job this year
June 17, 20178 yr I see Vinicio got demoted to AA. Franklin Perez is dominating W-S right now. Edited June 17, 20178 yr by SoxAce
June 17, 20178 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 11:41 PM) Sox deserve some credit as wel. They are a VERY conservative organization overall, and have been pleasantly surprised how they have embraced the "rebuild" on social media, providing graphics and stat updates each day from top performers in the system. Yep they sense the fans have bought in so they are doing their best to promote it

I think that it speaks volumes to White Sox fans as well. White Sox fans are showing up to the games still, and Charlotte is seeing crowds at 10,000+ on a regular basis. I know Charlotte has always been a great baseball town, but these fans are showing up to see Moncada, Fulmer, Giolito, Lopez, Delmonico and Burdi on a regular basis.
June 18, 20178 yr Moncada 1/2, rs, pulled a ball into LF against LHP. The crazy thing is Charlotte hasn't gotten all their starting pitchers going in sync and building off each other's starts...they should be better than a sub .500 club, but obviously Danish and Volstad aren't top prospects. And the offense is basically composed of Moncada, Delmonico, Hayes and Ache, with May fading fast. Liriano has been pretty terrible. Edited June 18, 20178 yr by caulfield12
June 18, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 05:39 PM) 3 good at bats for Yoan tonight What is the magic date when the Super 2 is not a consideration?
