Wow, Abreu wasn’t hustling. Pathetic effort 

Yup he should have beat that. 

Terrible 'effort' there by Abreu....

That’s scores a run at least 

Why are we swinging first pitch breaking ball?

That's why stuff needs to be ran out.  Pick him up eloy.

Base knock Eloy....tie it up 

Fastball inside, sliders out. Eloy and Pantera pitched exactly the same

Nope, not even close

Yeah it's not like he's walked 2 guys this inning...

Abreu hurt or lollygagging that?

Garbage effort by our "leader"

He needs to be outstanding, not okay.  He was a top end 1st round pick.  Not someone you picked up in the 7th round and are taking a flyer on.   He needs to hit line drives, get on base all of the time and play outstanding D to make up for a lack of power.  

You know who else was a high end pick? Rodon. You probably said the same shit about him that he NEEDS to be outstanding. Explain why Madrigal NEEDS to be outstanding aside from your own personal mental state. What if he hits .310 annually? Is that good enough?

Why were they sitting curve the other day?  Makes no sense.

He'll hit for more average than Yolmer but otherwise they're similar. Yolmer plays better D, Madrigal makes more contact. I'm not happy right now they wasted a top 5 pick on a rich man's Yolmer Sanchez. 

Your posts make me want to blow my brains out

Looks like it’s time for another b****-out from Keuchel.

We've seen Abreu sprint faster to end an inning to the dugout than he did on that grounder, lol.

Eloy hasn't seen a single strike yet this AB. 

I would bench Abreu for that lack of hustle.

^^ How has this guy not been banned?

Nowhere to be found when he's hitting dingers and top 10 in baseball in EV, but when he doesn't beat out a booted grounder, here he is

lol.....

I'm just shitting on Madrigal. It's intentional hyperbole. He's just not my type of player. 

That being said he's different and I hope he has a career like Placido Polanco. idk if he has as much power as Polanco did though. 

Like I said, Madrigal is probably somewhere on the Eckstein-Placido Polanco spectrum. 

 

Do we still use green text for sarcasm? I think people should start doing that again.

Your expectations of guys out the draft is all out of wack. The average 4th pick has a career WAR around 10. 

Dammit Eloy.
