I was thinking "boy Robert doesn't see Brash well at all" and then he hit that ball about 110 mph.

He's hit 2 of them that hard.

Luis getting hard contact 2/3 ABs, including a HR, off of a pitcher with this particular arsenal is SUPER exciting

Don't forget about the incredible catch he made earlier in the game... The MVP campaign we all know is coming is off to a great start

So the scout that said Luis could be the best player on the planet wasn’t kidding, eh?

Very astute pointing this out. I think the lack of a 3rd pitch is playing a role in him struggling this inning.

Throwing only 4 change ups isn't gonna do it if you're a starter.

Can we payroll that scout and have him run our draft?

Certainly not if you're trying to go through lineups for a 3rd time. Particularly one that's this good.

Matt Festa? More like fiesta for Chicago!

The hardest hit section for this game is all Sox players on Baseball savant

Why throw anything else if they can't lay off sliders that are out if the zone? 

Grandal pulling way off the ball.

Festa's slider has a lot of late movement. 

Jose was real close to getting picked off

Eloy needs a breakout game.

How the hell is Eloy swinging above high sliders?

Eloy still hasn't pulled a single batted ball this year and the GB rate is gonna be up to like 70%

the hit tool that we thought Eloy had was in Robert the entire time. Go figure.

That was a horrendous at bat 

We got a problem taking walks

That was a bit terrible, Eloy.

Beginning to wonder if he sucks. 

whens Eloy going to show his potential
