man i do love me some Moncada AB's future #2 hitter in a world where George Springer bats lead off

What an eye. Couldn't be more impressed

 

Just so refreshing seeing a young player with patience at the plate. Been long overdue for us. The hits will come for him. Not even worried about that.

Rex Hudler on Moncada:

 

"He's like the Royals' Raul Mondesi"

Already getting respect from umps on those close calls.

1/9, two walks, triple, no K's. Couple really nice swings against LAD with no positive results.

 

And at least Melky can be easily traded now, if there's any benefit of tonight.

Um he got screwed by ump that AB

Rex Hudler on Moncada:

He's high....again

Surprised there was no steal attempt

Rex Hudler on Moncada:

 

"He's like the Royals' Raul Mondesi"

 

Maybe his father...but faster. And a infielder, not RF.

 

Mondesi Sr. had an amazing arm, but not Jr.

Surprised there was no steal attempt

 

Nope, only way to advance on bases is via the bunt

Yeah, okay Hudler.

Um he got screwed by ump that AB

 

Quite a few times this week he got the close call with two strikes.

 

Feels like 5-6 at least.

 

 

 

Francisco Lindor walkoff in bottom of the 10th inning.

This might be the worst bullpen in Sox history once Swarzak is traded

Moose must have done his Pilates for his contract year

Surprised there was no steal attempt

 

Why are you surprised? Renteria doesn't like running with guys, even ones with speed. He'd rather call for a bunt to move them over. I said it before, it's embarrassing guys like Anderson only has 7 SBs with his speed. I bet Moncada probably only finishes with like 4 when the season ends.

Forgive me, I forgot this was TEAM baseball. No selfishness- stolen bases, home runs, walks, etc. allowed.

Late 2007 may be worse

I wonder if Renteria would have had the Big Hurt bunt during his MVP years.

Harrelson's nuts thinking the Royals can afford Hosmer or Moustakas.

 

Cain probably goes close/r to his hometown with a Braves' deal for 3-4 years.

Late 2007 may be worse

 

Wow their stats were ugly but Jenks still existed

A couple of injuries a couple of trades and the bullpen is minor league.

I wonder if Renteria would have had the Big Hurt bunt during his MVP years.

 

Yeah right, he wouldn't be a manager for a team with an MVP candidate

Late 2007 may be worse

 

Wasserman...

MacDougal, Aardsma, Sisco, haha. Led directly to Dotel and Linebrink contracts.

 

This will be 20 losses in past 27 games, btw.

 

 

Al Albuquerque on the way. Blast from the past. Along with Neftali Feliz.

I guess we'll finally know what Nationals fans go through every game.

Has Moncada swung at a single pitch outside the strike zone in his three games? Crazy that he strikes out so much even though he never chases.

No...because those losses have real consequences for seeding, team confidence, post season...
