Has Eloy ever had an inning that good in LF?

There was that one time he made a catch with a 15% catch probability.

He threw that ball over 350 feet flat footed.

yeah, he's got a strong arm, dunno how accurate it is though but he looks serviceable out there

lmao I posted almost the exact same thing at the same time.

Rodon nice job in first Start.....take that from 5th starter all yr.

It's nice to play SEA.  I wonder how many other AL teams have a real murders row offense.  Angels, Yankees, Twins, Jays, Astros, maybe A's if everybody gets back to normal?  Our SP probably isn't as bad as the Angels made it look but there's still a need for improvement.

Princess Diana is better at the wall than Eloy

They’re both crashing into the big walls in the sky

Eloy 100% would have pancaked into Robert and caused them both to miss 4-5 months.

94 pitches. Weak team, but looked good getting out of a few jams. Nice to see him with killer instinct.

Likely Kopech (2 IP)  Marshall (1 IP) and Crochet (1 IP) to close it out. Maybe Hendriks gets an inning to avoid rustiness.

 

 

Can we call up Mendick yet?

With the positives the past 2 innings, I almost forgot about how much I hate Madrigal.

FWIW that first catch left me more ‘ehhhhh idk about this’ than it gave me confidence, but the second play looked natural

I'm sold. Eloy would have lost like 5 limbs attempting to make that catch.

It's bad ju ju to speak ill of the dead.

Wonder if making a few plays in the outfield and "showing" that he can do that will relieve some of his pressure at the plate and loosen him up. Pressure to not fuck up in LF and pressure to get your your first hit, strung a little tight.

Hopefully this could help him relax and get into his game.

Is Codify Baseball basically a White Sox hype Twitter account now?

Vaughn runs better than eloy too, fuck it let him figure out the hitting ?

Somebody needed to hit Eloy over the head with a 2X4, and this experience could be the equivalent.

This espn crew, while not the best I’ve ever heard, is acceptable. Much like AV in the field. 

espn? which game is on espn?

Posted put a laughing mark on my pregame post, not sure why.

They have a solid shot at winning the next two, with Lucas on the bump tomorrow and LH starters the next two nights. Hopefully they got some sleep and are into the game from the start. Hopefully Moncada can break out of his funk to start the season.

I have a good feeling about Rodon tonight. Did they fly him to Seattle early? 

 

Luis Robert's scouting report probably says "he will swing at anything even remotely close to the zone"

He definitely didn't look like a seasoned vet on that but unlike Eloy he had the wherewithal to check where the wall was and managed to 1) not kill himself and 2) actually catch the baseball.  He's definitely better than Eloy IMO.

So you would accept a shut out since it's the fifth starter.

He struggles so much with righties.

Ashley Rodon's Twitter account on fire tonight.
