May 5, 201510 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20150505 Just Charlotte and Winston-Salem tonight. Erik Johnson at 5:30. Kinda fell apart last week in the 6th inning, but he would also be on schedule to pitch Sunday if the Sox choose to go that way.
May 5, 201510 yr QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 5, 2015 -> 03:54 PM) Anyone know the whereabouts of Robinson Leyer? Well he's listed to start today, so I'd imagine he's with the Dash.
May 5, 201510 yr QUOTE (bmags @ May 5, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) Did we figure out the Montas disappearance? i hope it is not family illness or something like that.
May 5, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ May 5, 2015 -> 04:09 PM) i hope it is not family illness or something like that. I read the term "minor injury" on the Barons site article about his last game. Hopefully he's back to regular pitch count soon.
May 6, 201510 yr Author Javy Guerrra got crushed too. Nice line for Webb though Edited May 6, 201510 yr by flavum
May 6, 201510 yr Rondon 2014 as a RHH: .303/.352/.576 LHH: .220/.297/.242 2015 as a RHH: .389/.389/.667 LHH: .170/.290/.170 That doesn't include tonight's homer which came as a RHH. Time to ditch switch-hitting?
May 6, 201510 yr Johnson start discouraging. Need someone soon to push the 4 and 5 on the big club, besides Rodon. Oh well.

Time to ditch switch-hitting? One would think. Can't be any worse against right handers batting from the right side, could he? If all he had was those RHH numbers, he'd be a top 10 prospect.

If all he had was those RHH numbers, he'd be a top 10 prospect. I wondered the same thing last year, until someone pointed out that he had just begun switch hitting. Given that he just turned 21, they probably want to give the experiment more time. Perhaps he could ultimately bat left handed in select situations, rather than against all RH pitchers. I really like this guy, and suspect that he may become the everyday SS, one day. Scouting reports rave about his defense.

I really like this guy, and suspect that he may become the everyday SS, one day. Scouting reports rave about his defense. i respect and like what you are saying. but here is a rhetorical question, at what point do the powers to be say this experiment of switch hitting is not working??? with that, he needs rep's at defense and yes at hitting.
May 6, 201510 yr QUOTE (bmags @ May 5, 2015 -> 05:01 PM) Did we figure out the Montas disappearance? He went 3.1 innings in a start on 5/3.

Time to ditch switch-hitting? If the splits were the reverse, I'd say he ought to stick with it. But you don't see many righties who struggle as much against RHP as he is batting left-handed.
