Let’s be honest here...Vaughn’s baldness is an issue. Was his hair this bad when drafted? Should have been a huge red flag. He needs to shave that shit instantly and hope he looks tough with a baldy.

Terrible throw, but also shoulda been caught. It didn’t hit the ground. 

80% of the blame goes to Madrigal.

I said that by late spring already, the book on Vaughn is out, away, away away with an occasional brush back pitch in to keep him honest. 

He Really needs to work on hitting that as he won't get as many mistakes as he did in the minors. 

Right now he can't handle that but that is OK, young guys need to learn to adjust. 

Luis could steal 100 bases if he wanted to. 

Half the team looks great and half the team looks asleep on their feet, really bizarre start to the season.

that was not Yermin's fault.  At was a 40 foot throw, don't fucking throw it at the dirt.

Not only do his tools look pretty average or underwhelming across the board aside from extreme contact ability, but every time he does something good or has a good game he has to do something else to lessen his previous achievements or negate them entirety.

I still like Danny Mendick better.

Pretty bad AB.  Come on TA pick him up.

I think Vaughn will be a good hitter but he's overwhelmed right now

He has to go down

Mercedes should have caught it anyway but there also was no reason for nick to not throw a routine throw to yermin's chest. 

Need to support yermin here with good throws.

Nah. It was in Yermins glove, he dropped the ball. He’s a DH remember.

He dropped a routine ball. How was it not his fault? Madrigal can make a better throw, but a 12 year old catches that.

It hit the dirt just as it hit his glove

wow caught a break there.

Damn we needed that run

Swung at some awful pitches that inning

sigh.

When Engel comes back I think it should happen. Give Engel a chance to start with Hamilton backing up for a bit.

Yeah give up every day at bats in AAA. Let him play LF there.

You've honestly lost your mind with madrigal negativity if you think a first baseman doesn't catch that 99.9999 out of 100 times. 

From the view behind catcher, Yoan flat out missed that last hit 

Wait WTF is TLR DOING?

My god.  This is some of the dumbest fucking baseball about to turn it off.

Does Grandal have a glove that is built to actually catch the ball? Just wondering.

Once it hits the dirt, it becomes more difficult than a throw not in the dirt.  But keep making excuses for him. You won’t see many weaker throws in professional baseball.

He has to be hurt, right?
