Well considering that the response was that he had a .380 OBP last year on a freeswinging team I thought it was relevant.

If the Sox had a team full of guys like Moncada they'd score 5 runs a game

Yaz silencing the haters after a bloop single

Grandal and Moncada getting on base does/did make a huge difference.

If only someone can drive them in.

My friend we can manipulate stats anyway we want.......

What do you see when Yoan bats?

I know what I see

It feels like Pollock bats 7 or 8 times a game and none of them good lol.

Moncada was fine last year. 

He has sucked so far this year. It's only 8 games, but I don't like what I'm seeing. This bad hitting is contagious, and now it's infected Moncada, Vaughn and Robert.

RC/27

Leury, McGuire and Harrison might be negative runs scored.

How do you manipulate a .380 OBP?  I thought we complain about how all these guys do is swing at junk and never get on base?  Your complaint is about Moncada last year, yet last year he was one of the few guys who did exactly that.

On pace for 40+ homers had he not missed one month lol.

Leury sees his 3rd pitch in 3 AB's

Robert just came off an 14 game hit streak.  Vaughn and Moncada are barely a week back in.  

The Legend is showing great plate discipline (for him)

Kudos for your optimism, but still advantage to the home team.

In the future, please insert a random semi-baseball related name or 3 in your responses. It really helps me pass the time in between ground balls and keeps my mind sharp!

I agree ......he took his walks.

But I'm more concerned about his Avg.  HR, RbI..........and what he does in clutch situations 

The legend will be batting 3rd tomorrow and it'll be difficult to say he doesn't deserve it

No no, it’s easy.  He doesn’t deserve it.

My only hope with him is that lots of really good players are struggling mightily still, so maybe he'll turn it around.

Look at the ABs they're taking. Are you watching the games? 

Look fellas I'm frustrated with the approach from these players and this team. If I watch another guy pound the ball into the ground I am going to throw my remote.

I get groundballs are a part of the game but not at the rate we hit them and on pitches we hit ground balls

And if they had a team full of Eloys, there would be a lot of forfeits.

Jesus Yas, what in the actual fk?

feels like they haven't scored a 2 out run in a month.

one of the few guys i actually want up here, so expecting him out in three pitches
