All I know is when this guy finally figures it out, I hope he's still with the Sox.

He's not Juan Marichial in his prime.

It he was, you sure wouldn't have  gotten him and Gio for friggin Adam Eaton. 

They are Works In Progress.

The Nats were built to win today.

Once Eloy starts hitting some HR's at home then he will really be good and get out of negative WAR territory.

That's 9 games FYI and then you're including today which makes it 10.

That's what I said in the post you quoted: "the last 10 games (10th game including today, my bad)"

I pulled stats "out of my butt?" I was off by ONE at bat. That's some serious skill and my anus must be pretty lucky.

Honest to god dude, you're completely miserable. You come onto this forum daily and act foolish by making ridiculous claims and predictions. You clearly can't stand anything that's going on with this organization, so why even bother?

You said he's been hitting .375. The time frame you stated produced a record of 11 for 37, which is ,297. The time frame you then amended it to gave a record of 11 for 33. To hit .375, it'd need to be 11 for 29 (which is .379). You were off by four at bats, even on your second attempt. Don't be off by four at bats.

I've loved this team since I was six. I will always root for this team. I want this team to be GREAT. The thing is...the management consistently makes this team bad. They've failed for ten years to anything. I wouldn't last ten years at my job if I sucked at it. Why should we give them ANY leeway? To make this franchise good, which is probably the thing I want most on this planet after the health and wealth of myself, my wife, and my kids, I think somebody else should be running the show. Hating Rick Hahn, Kenny Williams, Jerry Reinsdorf, and Rick Renteria does not make me an unsuitable Sox fan.

Pissed on

Soler.  Wow.  I mean, that sucks.  But damn that ball went far.

Lopez's curve is a much better pitch than his slider. It looks like he's bringing the cutter/curveball combo back. I don't understand why he went away from that as it worked so well last year.

Bad pitch to Soler imo but Lopez’s curve has been really good today. We haven’t seen it at all lately and if he is gonna recover from his horrendous start to this year, that curve will be a big reason why

Yeah, the curve has been good. I hope he throws it more moving forward. I believe the homer to Soler was a change and he wasn't fooled one bit

sorry to get off topic but forget about Cease. Jason Kinander is 0 for 2

 

I actually thought Lopez looked better that inning than any other inning. 

I’m unable to watch the game, but is there an easy way to tell how much he’s thrown each pitch today?  The talk of increased curveball usage is very promising to me.

Nice find. Abreu will be very happy.

He's a much better pitcher with the cutter/curveball combo rather than slider/changeup. 

Curve/cutter vs rhb and change/cutter vs lhb and he should be fine.

I think it's cringey and terrible.

Moncada is locked in. He's striking out a lot less. I can't wait for the upcoming XBH binge.

They give free stuff to fans. It's fine. It doesn't bother me.

Good day at the dish for yoyo

I think it's terrible as well . Just curious what other people thought.

Soxmath is fine.  If you don't like it, don't watch it.  

 

At least people win stuff, unlike picks to click which were meaningless.

He's ditched the slider and is going with a cutter and curve. I think that he's using a cutter because it has a different speed and movement profile than his slider.

He knows nothing, just like BarStool Dave.

If you didn't like my comment don't read it or respond to it.

Can't wait till he puts it together (patience aka walks with the aggressiveness aka hits).

 

I just wish Ricky would be aggressive with him on the base paths. Kid has 5 tools and he's only shown 4 of them here.
