To be honest, I don't think he would have ever been this good without changing his arm swing and shortening it up. The talent was always there, but that adjustment has really unlocked his TOR potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His flaws will hide much better in next years lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy that he turned it around and went from bust to boom. He was really bad last year. He's done some stuff grip wise to help with his FB spin rate as well. The stuff he did is right out of the Astros pitching lab playbook. I always believed in him but there were times I felt like I was wearing the dunce cap defending him still getting starts with the Sox. I'm a sucker for pitching. I enjoy watching pitchers perform their craft. I've always considered it the most cerebral position on the baseball field along with catcher.

Eloy has definitely not. I was talking about anderson. Like a few others have said I should accept what he is . Which I'm not saying is bad by the way. Jimenez is a rookie I'm not concerned about him. I have no doubt that he will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even with Tim and Eloy back... this has been a real awakening as to how much Moncada has meant to this offense. 1-5 in this lineup goes from being somewhat respectable to brutal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with him, the lineup still isn't very good. Just way too many AAAA, AAA, etc. guys on it. Abreu not being what he once was also doesn't help.

At the break, our 1-4 trailed only Boston in terms of batting average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
