Nick is way below average defensive player

Madrigal has ZERO shot of 3,000 hits if he continues to play little league level defense.

Lol the 2nd part is superfluous.

Rodon getting a K at 96 made me feel a little better

Rodon looks nice

I have officially joined the "Fuck Nick Madrigal" fan club

Not sure I can remember hating a White Sox player more than I hate Madrigal.  It is almost making this team unwatchable.

It’s just too bad they couldn’t trade him, cause I get the feeling the organization thinks he’s a joke as well

Rodon's stuff is definitely better than it's been in years. Hopefully he can sustain this.

Rodon actually looking decent so far.

Lets see if Rodon can survive the rest of the blunders this team is bound to make in the field.

He should have gotten the leaf off single in the 9th yesterday if hes a gold glove major league 2B.  Starting to wonder about the scouting there. 3000 hits may not get 300.

His bat has been as advertised and it's still close enough to his draft year where teams would put a ton of weight onto his scouting reports. If the Sox want to trade Madrigal it won't be difficult to do.

Yolmer is Roberto Alomar compared to Madrigal.

This kid needs a humbling demotion to Schaumburg.

Were the scouting reports on Madrigal's defense wrong or did he suddenly forget how to play defense after reaching the majors?

Fielding is very much a confidence thing and when you make a couple errors and you know people are talking it just adds more pressure and causes it to snowball.

Wow some of you are the worst fans.  Dude can't make the most spectacular plays in the world everytime.  Mendick doesn't get within 35 feet of that ball.  Hell 75% of all 2b probably don't get within 5 feet.

Teams don’t really value someone who provides singles and does nothing else well

he gave up on the ball for a second when he dropped the catch just now

This seems like the longest inning ever for 0 runs scored

Yep

Can Grandal get a glove, that actually catches the ball? Just wondering.

Please pass me some when you are done hitting that.

If you think his defense is irredeemably broken based off of 33 games, sure.
