Are you  kidding me, he is horrible there is no way he is an outfielder.

Something he really needs to improve on in his throwing home. He lollipops it all the way with little accuracy. Rather he miss low to allow for the ball to be cutoff

wow, the ump just took it right on the nose.

Hangers galore

Moncada has to smother that.

After you see how he nearly died on the ground rule double in the corner you can kind of see why it seems like Eloy isn't comfortable going all out for fly balls

I mean there's not many LF that catch that but dude, you gotta track the ball better and play the carom.

Almost all do

Doesn't seem to use his body well at all when throwing

So because he is clumsy out there it’s an excuse to not try?

.230 expected hit pct

Feel free to frame the ball

I'm not saying that I can just see how his brain may be telling him to start hitting the brakes early so he doesn't go down like a ton of bricks like he's probably done so many times before

holy shit he located a fastball down.

I wish they gave catch probability because the expected BA doesn't actually compute to 1 minus catch probability. The actual catch probability could be more or less than what is implied by .230 expected BA. The expected BA doesn't factor in where fielders are positioned or the left/right direction of the batted ball

yea that stat is useless for Eloy's rating on that play.  I'm not defending him at all, he's a butcher, but I just don't think many get to that ball in comerica, it's a huge OF.

At this early stage of his career, Eloy is not a Major League outfielder. I'm not saying that he won't become one, but he looks destined for first base, or DH.

I think the best evidence against Eloy is that he got fairly close to it and people are assuming other guys would have been there a few steps sooner. Of course that requires us to be correct that he had a bad route and/or slow speed getting there which is hard to know from watching it on TV

Yeah Eloy still hurting. Wasn’t swinging with much authority there 

The Eloy – Carlos Lee comparison seems to still hold pretty well

I feel like Lopez should be so much better than he actually is.

Maybe I'm forgetting but I just don't think Reynaldo has gotten much use out of his changeup at all this year

They need to bunt or do something to knock off Norris from his rythm.

Norris isn't pitching anymore.

Gotcha that's right it's Farmer, listening on radio.

Lopez has looked better his last two starts.  Hopefully keeps improving.
