Holy crap I was hoping that would be a bloop over the shortstop and it ended up 300 feet in the gap 

I thought the same thing

He's 14 innings into his career. Let me guess, Moncada was sarcastically a winner and competitor through his first 14 innings too, right?

I thought he was around Moncada's speed, but he's not. It doesn't bode well. Madrigal has a lot of issues right now, but it's early. 

7-0 feels much better

Never been a fan of his profile and was advocating last offseason to try and use him as trade bait to get Mookie. Sorry you don’t agree with me thus I need to “get a life”

He's got David Eckstein speed.

Yeah not every prospect can be Luis Robert. Madrigal may never be worthy of #4 overall but fuck he's 7 at bats in. Relax

Watching that broke my brain, 3 replays later and I still don't understand how a baseball can bounce that high

It reminds me of grindy Twins bullshit in the Metrodome. Remember the one Luis Castillo hit there that was just like that?

Yeah, the sarcastic garbage can stop. If you think he sucks, why do you think a team would take him for a great player? Stop being such a dick

If they tried him at 3rd they should have at least given him some reps at 2nd to get a look at what he’s got

I get it, it's early. I'll give him until next July before I get on his case for suckage. 

Just have a feeling that Robert's really starting to feel comfortable now.

As far as Nick goes, he definitely needs to get that first hit so he can take a breath and relax.   It's not like they are going to take away his starting spot and give it away to Danny Mendick or Goins, realistically.

You have to put runners in motion with Slappy up.  He looks as awful as some of us expected.

He has a lot of special skills?

This game is trending towards a Yermin appearance tonight.

If you want a guy with Paul Konerko speed playing 2nd, sure.

I assume you mean as a pitcher then

They were never going to trade with Madrigal as the centerpiece for Betts...they already had Chavis that could play over there.

don't agree with how he said it but beating dead horses even in game threads isn't fun either.

Yermin as a pitcher really needs to happen at least once

Dude I don’t tell you how to post so don’t worry about mine. Block me and move on man, you’re pretty annoyed by me not liking his weak contact

thank god for robert.

But are these issues exactly?  Outside of slapping the ball, not sure I have any idea what you are talking about.

Robert made that look easy
