I don't know why people keep acting like Soto is anything other than "Worse with the bat than Flowers"

 

Soto can hit a fastball down the middle.

Every major league player should be capable of mashing those pitches.

Tyler Flowers says hi!

3-0 count and then 4 straight fastballs right down the middle, I'm shock he made that the little contact that he did

Those are pretty much the most hittable pitches you'll ever see.

If Soto had Flowers number of at bats he would have way better numbers.

Not sure how much longer they can keep playing him.

Rodon really struggling with his command now.

The front office does not think Flowers is a issue.

Rodons entire career arc is going to hinge on his command of the fastball. If he can come around he's going to be top of the rotation. If he doesn't, he will just float around.

Stone obviously is talking about every other baseball team except the whit sox

Other teams know how to move a runner.

There is zero evidence of this. He's been bad this year and bad for years.

 

Get him his usual chemicals back and we'll talk.

Nice job by Rodon there.

Rodon did well to pitch out of that; smelled blood in the water with Marisnick to K him.

Gutsy pitching there by Rodon to not give up a run after the leadoff double

He misses left and right for now. If he can be up and down with it, he will be even tougher

nice to learn on the fly.

 

i wonder if they start the pen up now.

Sanchez swung at ball 4... He has to add taking walks to repertoire.

Flowers will never have an easier sequence of fastballs to hit.

 

Career average with bases loaded sinking towards .100 somehow.

If somehow he can command that bad boy he's an Ace. If he just improves up and down he's still a top 3 starter. That's how good his slider is.

Abreu come on.

Abreu come on.

Weird bounce but that's how you know he's not a gold glover.

Horrible bounce, come on

Base path.
