Moncada progression this year is going to be fun to watch. He looks 100% better from the RH side in 19

He is now 2-2 with 2 doubles against LHP.  He had 5 doubles against LHP in 2018 in over 150 PA.

Two hard rips by Rondon. One just foul and one to just the wrong spot. If either of the previous two hitters had hit that, would have been a sac fly. Hate leaving runs on the board but we were obviously gifted that inning so hard to complain much lol

At what point does Yoan give up on batting lefty?

He actually looks like he can drive a ball other than Yolmer's loopy soft flyball swing.

Yup, so much better seeing some line drives as opposed to Yolmers launch swing with zero power

Both of those on 2 strike counts too

Should have just challenged Omar with fastballs.  That was a shitty changeup.

Back to throwing 93 this inning?

Seeing a lot of 94.

Today he's relied on the changeup almost exclusively for offspeed. Did the opposite his last time out.

Get the slam YoYo

Almost

95 on that one.  That's fine.  Last year he didn't pace himself well at time and was out of gas by the 4th and 5th.

He was down this inning but I wouldn't overthink it. Probably a mix of the adrenaline wearing off and spending most of his time in the stretch

Vogelbach looks like Schwarber when he first came up

Yea it's fine I just want to see him have 94-95 in the 6th inning and later this year.  He seems to come out all amped at 96-97 pretty often then is down to 90-91 after 60-70 pitches.

Fuck yea Engel!  

If only Engel could be somewhat competent with the bat

Engel with the rare double. Nice start to the 2nd.

WTF even Engel is hitting. Did we just like pull a space jam and steal Eloy's talent and spread it around the rest of the team?

You know what this lineup is working so far.  Packed it with righties.

A.J. Pierzynski’s on the radio with  Farmer and Jackson right now, always fun to listen to.

My hot take is there's much more upside in playing Engel than there is in playing Palka (especially when Palka has to play RF)

Tired of #velocitywatch. Lopez hit 98 the first inning, his velo is just fine. He needs to pace himself and throw 94-96 most of the game and rear back when needed and he can

 

MonGoda

FuckingA just let him swing hte bat

Why is he bunting?  Come the fuck on.
