What a terrible AB. I hate to say it but Eloy is looking expendable.

Not a good AB Eloy

Nothing new. 

Eloy gets such a big pass for wildly underachieving expectations that other guys on the team don't receive

^^^^^^

That last slider that Eloy swung at near (not close enough to be "at") was nasty.

Trust me I'm about to be righting that wrong if he doesn't pick it up. A poor man's El Caballo ain't gonna cut it.

was it? it was at his waist. if he can't recognize that pitch well, he's got problems.

He went back to his 2021 stance that AB and it sucked

 

well managed game from TLR so far.

It IS quite funny, how different the SoxTalk stances are on Yoan vs Eloy, and I'm guilty of it myself. Eloy is frustrating to watch, so is Yoan at times, but Yoan always has the glove to fall back on.

Yes it was nasty. Crazy horizontal movement. Tight and late breaking.

I'm OK with him not recognizing THAT pitch.

It's the rest of the at-bat that I have a problem with. Putting yourself into a position to have to defend against that pitch to begin with? Not good.

Eloy leaping catch!

ELOY!

That looked way out

Give Eloy that Gold Glove right now!

Of course, right when I mention the glove.

Why is Reynaldo still in there?

Wow hands down Eloys best play

Didn't hit it hard enough. Only 95.5 off the bat.

Moncada is way better than Eloy.

They wanted him to get the righty out. Now Bummer gets 2 lefties. 

Well TLR took him out one batter too long (ball should've been gone) but hell of a job by Lopez.
