Abreu's helmet must be a nightmare to pick up, for the bat boys. Goodness, that is nasty.

Been thinking that for forever lol

Yoan the OBP machine

Yoan is a great #2 hole option, glad he looks to have settled there with everyone back.

Didn't he say that was where he felt most comfortable once?

Abreu didn't ground into a double play... I'll take it.

Yas has a .525 OBP this year vs LHP lol

They play without the DH in those games, so yes.

OK so when he leaves it is the new pitcher or a pinch hitter. Makes sense.

Ain't no sunshine today, beyond watching Norm's old clips.

One of the GOATs

 

 

A very funny man...RIP Norm.

Gio seems to have his very good change-up tonight

The changeup is working tonight, for sure.

Packy Naughton. What a dumb name

Packy is a nickname for Patrick.

Gio's stuff tonight looks incredible.

No worse than cleaning out his spittoon after games.

His GranGran gave it to him....it's a very sweet story...Jason will tell you about it in the 3rd.

Leury and Adam Eaton were batting ahead of Robert in the Opening Day lineup lol

There are endless Canadian celebs but only one act wore it loud and proud. 

If Eloy can't hit Naughton something is very wrong

Eloy is completely out of sorts

Another called 3rd strike for Eloy

Honestly, I have no idea what Eloy is looking for at the plate, anymore. He seems to be racking up the 'K looking' stat.

Eloy needs to find whatever he is missing again

Fastball: Sits 90-93; sinks it low; modest arm-side run; predominantly flat elsewhere in the zone. Draws weak contact in the lower third; barrel magnet when he tries to elevate. Deception slightly pads quality; modest velocity and movement profile will give him smaller margin for error at the big league level. Grade: 45

 

Curveball: Often lacks target zone velocity, sitting around 74-76. Inconsistent arm speed, release point and follow through. Shows sharp 1/7 break at its best; decent amount of slow rolling hangers up in the zone. Backdoors it to steal strikes and works it low as a spike pitch. Swing and miss is more so a product of pitchability than raw stuff. Grade: 45

 

Changeup: Above-average offering; optimal velo separation at 80-83. Features late tumble and solid arm-side fade. Maintains arm speed; thrown with conviction; shows confidence utilizing the pitch in FB counts. Elicits weak contact and swing and miss from both LHB and RHB. Grade: 55

 

Control and Command: Crafty southpaw with advanced pitchability. Impressive control; pounds the zone with quality strikes; sequences well, avoiding predictable patterns and locations. Actively attacks the edges of the plate; gives up loud well barreled shots in the heart of the zone. Above-average command of FB and CH; CB command significantly lags behind. Control: 60 | Command: 55

 

Name:  Extremely Stupid.  Grade:  25

Packy hairdo Grade: 0

 

Eloy's gotta sort some stuff out. He looks awful

luis robert, i'm a fan

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
