Wanne Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Honest question...how did the Sox leave camp with Asche over Delmonico? I know it happens...but geez. Nick was raking in ST too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it happens...but geez. Nick was raking in ST too.... I may be Delmonico's biggest fan on this site, but he needed time to work on his defense without having the pressures of being on a major league team. Plus more time in AAA was a good thing for his bat based on the significant reduction in his K rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just not overthinking it--didn't think Nicky was ready, start the season with your vet--place hold him for someone young to take his spot. I'm not sure anyone saw this type of promise from Delmonico back in ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was actually surprised he didn't light up AAA more The BB & K rates were nice. Seems like the power faded as the year progressed for some reason.

I'm not sure anyone saw this type of promise from Delmonico back in ST. There are several posters who have been high on him for a while now, but the reality is his numbers will come back to earth as his .455 BABIP regresses to the mean. I'm still ecstatic about his performance though, especially for a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm seeing...he carried it over from ST where he was solid the entire spring. I know it's happened before with guys having great springs...but it's nice to see him carry over to this level. Good for him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FT35 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 08:49 PM) I do like Bennetti, but he's killing poor Rowand with all the questions and jokes tonight. Agree...it's a bad announcing habit to get into because the result is the non-polished voice getting long stretches of air time dominating the broadcast answering the questions. He needs to find different ways to start conversation. It's like starting every sentence in an essay with "The." Tough to listen to. Describe something, expand on something, establish yourself as an expert on baseball. Edited August 17, 2017 by FT35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Rowand did just make a good point about the mound (being different). Might sound goofy...but every mound is a little different...and whoever the other pitcher is (and the hole they dig). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
