Ugly ugly ugly 

Why do we have such bad at bats with runners on base

Not a single strike that entire AB. As much as some people shit on Grandal for being too patient, our young guys need to learn a thing or two from him about patience. 

That was pathetic

One of the funniest things posted all year

Hey no joke, sometimes to end an inning he flat out busts to the dugout.  Like, it's surprising how fast he sprints off.

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?

The first 2 picks ahead of rodon where terrible as well.  Just saying Haha.

^^ 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

Jose is an MVP candidate. He has been outstanding. He needs to hustle if he is the leader of our team. That was ugly. 

Approach has not been good. Swing at sliders

Minny treating every inning of this like a World Series game and Sox look like they having a fun time as long as both teams have fun 

Eloy now 1 for his last 18, with 9 K's.

Rodon did need to be outstanding.

Eloy swung at 4 fastballs way inside

This. He’s amazing at breaking down every aspect of the game.

Any one guy doesn’t NEED to be anything. You need the collection of picks to pan out. Counting on anyone guy to do anything out of the draft is a fools errand.

I have a feeling the players will all hate Steve by the end of the first month. 

 

Madrigal will be a great complement to the rest of this lineup in the 9 hole imho.  I think he will really bother opposing pitchers and managers.

Hopefully ross can settle in and stop the bleeding.  Let's just chip away.

Well I think the results speak for themselves.

Reminds me a lot of Nick Punto if Punto could actually hit for average. Just a PITA for pitchers. 

He's not bad, I just wouldn't have spent a top 20 pick on him, let alone a top 5 pick.
