SoxAce Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 09:12 PM) What an eye. Couldn't be more impressed Just so refreshing seeing a young player with patience at the plate. Been long overdue for us. The hits will come for him. Not even worried about that.

caulfield12 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Already getting respect from umps on those close calls. 1/9, two walks, triple, no K's. Couple really nice swings against LAD with no positive results. And at least Melky can be easily traded now, if there's any benefit of tonight.

SoxAce Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 09:15 PM) Surprised there was no steal attempt Why are you surprised? Renteria doesn't like running with guys, even ones with speed. He'd rather call for a bunt to move them over. I said it before, it's embarrassing guys like Anderson only has 7 SBs with his speed. I bet Moncada probably only finishes with like 4 when the season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Harrelson's nuts thinking the Royals can afford Hosmer or Moustakas. Cain probably goes close/r to his hometown with a Braves' deal for 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Has Moncada swung at a single pitch outside the strike zone in his three games? Crazy that he strikes out so much even though he never chases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
