Yup he’s still hitting 94....and the stuff ain’t bad either

Collins looks the part too. Hitting ball well and on that HR he stayed back and creamed it.  When you combine that with his propensity to draw a walk - I think he's going to pan out too.  

Yes, glad I was wrong today. Tip my hat to Collins and for La Russa for starting him today.

Still would like Mercedes to have a shot to catch, but not sure the club feels the same way.

Think it’s also cold there tonight 

It's a very mild night for Seattle in early april.  Mid 50s.  Tmr will be cold.

Not sure if he'll have a single barrel to his credit before leaving baseball in the next few years.

Also, the Sox had a much greater need for corner outfield the past few years. Just sad all around.

This post is ridiculous.  The first part is just plain dumb.  The second part is so out of touch with reality given that like half our top 10 prospects at the time were OFs, including blue chippers in Eloy & Robert.  We should have taken Kelenic, but not because of some need and entirely due to him being the highest ceiling prospect available at the time.

For Collins, it also helps to swing with 2 strikes

Not even close to hitting him. This is how the Pirates looked against him....just saying

Famous last words, but mediocre lineups like this have no shot vs Gio when his stuff is working like this.

Here's a screenshot of Nick Madrigal hitting a 250-foot shot:

Took Sox -1 & Over 6 

Also have a couple parlays still alive that have the Sox -1

 

Pretty much always betting the Sox against lefties lol

Yeah last year I bet on them every game lol this year, 6 games in, I'm only doing when they face a lefty or Giolito is on the mound.

It’s kind of shocking to see how short Vaughn is.  He’s not much taller than Madrigal.

All Giolito all the time on the M's broadcast.

And yet look how much broader he is.  Get in the weight room Nick.

Without looking, guess which asshole in baseball picked another fight tonight?

Nick Casteyabos?

Hang wiffem for Adam.  Good contact.

Robert just not good at all, at the plate right now. Let him go back to hitting first ball fastballs please.

When Robert is struggling he looks like one of the worst hitters I've ever seen.

Robert is still lost at the plate.

Good lord Robert.

But we were told his approach at the plate is good.

No - he is definitely in a funk.

Child please. Madrigal has zero power, and when they squeeze his ass in the outfield, his slapped balls become outs. 

Eloy is not an outfielder, and pretending that he is lead to what has happened the past two years.

Kelenic plays RF and CF. Not only was he a much better hitter, and fielder, but he also fit a need the Sox have been scrambling to fill for years. Mazara, Eaton.
