Yes, not sure of Soriano. He did have an incredibly quick release on his throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Soriano had two god-level years with UZR in his first two season with the Cubs. DRS liked him that much in one of those years as well, though DRS rightly (I think) had it all riding on his tremendous arm whereas UZR was giving Soriano massive range which I don't believe he was truly covering (at least functionally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 So on the first pitch Beck ever saw as a major league hitter, Ricky had a suicide squeeze on. What could possibly go wrong? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Nights like tonight are why I don't mind the Sox running Engel and Thompson out there until they hit. This young pitching is going to have enough problems on their own, let alone with the defense giving away entire innings worth of outs in games.

GreenSox Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Lopez' mediocre peripherals catching up with him. I would have liked to see Beck pitch more..he was rolling and has pitched well in spots this year..see what he can do over many innings. 3 Top pitching prospects up. Progress, Don Cooper?
