Luke Appling and Nelson Fox are both in the Hall of Fame with Madrigal's skill set. His ceiling will satisfy my definition of "great."
-
I hate off days.☹️
-
Lamb will be sent down when Engel returns IMO. Leury and Hamilton have more situational uses than Lamb.
-
I am in favor of the automated strike zone. Getting the call right is the primary objective.
-
I like how things are going recently but I wish TL would stop with the Garcia love.
-
My guess is Madrigal will spend time at leadoff, 2nd and 9th as time progresses. Nellie Fox was the prototype of a Madrigal batting 2nd and that is where I believe we will eventually settle.
-
Actually...highly probable.
-
What a coincidence...so do I.?
-
Watching Eaton in RF and Mercedes at DH instead of Mazara and EE... has allowed most of us to take a step back from the ledge.
-
Thank God Nicky was there to bail out all our sluggers.
-
Pesky...is the least of it. Pain in the ass is their long suit.
-
Hopefully with the same result.
-
Need to sigh Mercedes to an Eaton-like extension. There will be a buying frenzy if NL approves the DH. I would like to find a way to keep him...but for sure don't want to end up empty-handed.
-
Overall things are looking good. Relief pitching has been my biggest concern...but we have the horses to get er done.
-
I really like what Hamilton brings to the late innings with speed and defense off the bench.
-
The M & & M all had great games. Vaughn is reminding me of Robin Ventura's 0-41 streak when it finally ended. Grandal is making me miss McCann something fierce.
-
That play looked every bit as bad as the one that hit him in the head the other day.
-
Not quite...more like the All-Star break.
-
Moncada and Madrigal will both be part of the next WS team. No reason to be bashing either of them.?
-
Sorry to hear that...probably something else Madrigal did wrong. -
Fans are passionate about "our team"...why else would we watch night after night?
-
To be clear...I am confident that Madrigal has the floor of a reliable everyday 2nd baseman. My hope is for him to challenge Fox as a WS legend.
-
Yep...I have seen firsthand what Nellie Fox meant to a championship club. I don't know if Nicky can win the MVP as Fox did... but it will be fun to watch him try.
-
Some of you need to join the WS scouting program. People who can spot a player's floor and ceiling after 45 games would be invaluable.
-
I hope we pound lumps on him...keeps us all from putting Dunning on a pedestal.
