Splitting up the best trio in baseball history(Moncada, Nicky and TA) will go down as the worst managerial move of all time.

Rodon velocity way down

That ball was just crushed.

Rodon velocity way down

 

Fastball command is lacking.

Yolmer, that is a helluva play.

The knock on Yolmer has always been he doesn't have the arm strength to be a full-time SS or 3B, but I have to say, everything I've seen from him shows that his arm is, at the very least, adequate for those positions.

Great hands and fast release. Arm is way better than Vizquel's was

He's got the range and arm to be a plus defender at any position in the infield.

 

And good point about his fast release, it helps him turn those DPs while making it look easy.

Yea he's proven it.

Why didn't Yoan walk?

Ump was no fun and called low strike.

Ahh fair enough then.

Hands of stone

our young middle infielders need to focus on one first, lets see if Carlos can pick them up.

Way to pick yourself up Tim and Yoan, nice work pitching over it Carlos and trusting in your defense behind you.

C'mon Tim. He pretty much gave you a walk on 3-1.

C'mon Tim. He pretty much gave you a walk on 3-1.

 

3-1 pitch, LOOK fastball down the middle.

Velocity way better now

Perfect turn!

Blah, can't be doing that especially with risp and two outs

Sometimes you have to swing the bat Yoan

Not a good defensive game for Moncada. He was streaky on defense in Charlotte

With Rodon on the mound. These were the 2 guys drafted above him

They have been god awful in their careers. Kolek might be completely done. Thanks Astros and Marlins!

Gurriel will always be a guy I'll always say "what could've been" had he deflected earlier. What a player he was in Cuba.
