WTP Moncada 

His swing looks good this week, he just has lost all bat speed/power

He’s turning into the pitching version of Moncada.  From elite, all world physical skills to mediocre

And ironically we got both Kopech and Moncada together for Chris Sale. Isn't that special!

Never trade with A's Red Sox Rays...

Kopech may struggle to complete 4 innings today. I'm going to take a nap.

A good idea, a nap is much more peaceful and less stressful. 

Nice swing by Vaughn on the offspeed

No clue why they moved Benintendi down in the order.  It only highlights his lack of power.

They paid 75M for the OF version of Madrigal.

Benintendi down in the lineup a big change...especially when he's been the most effective AL leadoff hitter the last 4-6 weeks.

Pedro ball.  Crappy lineup construction.

Between SS, 2B and LF, they sure get a ton of power!

He doesn't hit the ball on the ground per Pedro.

Yup, just a horrible signing.  I get he’s not a horrible player (yet) but never commit big dollars to very average players.  Still pains me that the Cubs got Bellinger for a one year commitment where we felt compelled to go with the low upside, safe player for five.

Jesus, Kwan has more power than Benintendi 

Kopech sucks

Don't forget 3B when Moncada plays there.

You are absolutely correct on that.

Yeah I guess when TA got that home run last night, everything is back to normal. I guess Grifol doesn't think that Benintendi with his .284 BA and .350 OBP isn't that important for the leadoff role, compared to Tim's .245 BA and .286 OBP. Not to mentioned Benintendi leads the team in walks with 36 to Tim's 19 walks. LOL!

 

Benintendi does not have the power to be a suitable 5th spot hitter.

Kopech sucks

Yes he does

Stoney spoke too soon.

Screw you Kopech

This is the new White Sox, asshat.

He’s pissed and throwing harder now 

Gopher balls, galore

Should have spent the Benintendi money on a slugger as GRF is a home run hitter park, and we get outhomered in many games at GRF.  Fortunately, Burger has  closed the gap homers this season.

Kopech is great.  He only let's up solo hrs

I think we figured it out, the Sox got visited by the Monstars. Nothing else makes sense for the talent evaporation.
