July 28, 20214 yr Im watching the Royals feed for that Eloy bomb, heres the transcript -Would you rather face Abreu who has 75 RBIs or a guy who is in his second game of the year? *silence* The thing is... Eloy in his past is 2-3 against Zimmer with 2 doubles... *Zimmer throws it right down the middle, Eloy fouls it off* - Ooof... oof.. that was right down the middle and he was ready for it.. I wouldnt give him one of those.. strike ones good but not there... thats center cut.. -So hopefully that was his one and only good pitch to hit *nervous laugh* right.. *Eloy obliterates the ball* - Nope.. - Oh man......
July 28, 20214 yr Great game for Eloy but am I the only one not wanting him to get too confident out in LF? We don't need him doing something that gets himself hurt again.

We don't need him doing something that gets himself hurt again. this game means we will see a lot more Eloy in left field, he actually looked good. I dont want him out there either but theres no way they DH him now

We don't need him doing something that gets himself hurt again. honestly if he has trimmed down by 10-15 pounds (which it looks like), he could be serviceable and the way he ran tonight...he looked flat out athletic for the first time in a Sox uniform. I am very conflicted. Vaughn in RF is an absolute no go though. so this is gonna be an interesting ride the next month.
July 28, 20214 yr Eloy looks like he is more toned as well as being better in the field. I think spending a month rehabbing with Robert may have been good for him.

He's an athlete and puts the work in.

July 28, 20214 yr They have to get Vaughn, Jimenez, and Abreau all in the lineup at the same time as much as possible.

He moves really well at first base and seems to be learning on the run. I understand he isn't sleek but I think he will be one of those solid types that handle the routine stuff well.

July 28, 20214 yr Sheets has been my mini Gallo without the rocket for an arm , good defense and a massive amount of walks and K's.

July 28, 20214 yr You can't be a pussy and be afraid of injuring yourself. If you play in fear, you do not play competitively or at your best. That is what Benetti and Stone decided to brand Eloy with...for the rest of his career. Shame on them. Every major league player gets hurt. How about Burger? Call him stupid and limiting to DH after multiple injuries? How about Grandal? Robert? Engel? Eloy sent a message tonight, He is not afraid. Edited July 28, 20214 yr by tray
