Yeah, if he plays deep like Engel, but then Madrigal drops a lot of singles in front of him. People are gonna play Madrigal shallow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 6 minutes ago, Harold's Leg Lift said: A big league CF is camped under that ball. Lol complete nonsense. Your anti madrigal stuff is nauseating at this point. The CF'er took a slightly rounded path to the ball but he did not break in, nor was he slow to break off the bat. He took a route that wasnt 100% efficient but he has good speed and really had no wasted movement in. On balls hit right at you in center, you will naturally take a rounded route because of the angle the ball is coming at you. Was it a perfect route? No. Was it a route that a lot of centerfielders including big leaguers take to that ball? Absolutely. 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 And Andrew Velesquez isn't a natural CF'er (he's a SS) but hes played about 90 games in center in his minor league career and grades well above average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fine, but he also can’t get robbed on flares because the outfielders are playing him like a pitcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does this with enough frequency (beating an outfielder playing him in) they'll stop doing it and he'll be more than fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would disagree that he'll "never" hit double digit Homer's. 10 Homer's in the modern game just isn't many. If he does what Altuve did and works on pulling his pitch with authority more often he could easily run into 10 pulled Homer's a year as he matures.

If he's playing extremely shallow like that? Yes, I do. Can you please review that guys route and explain to me how someone would be "camped" under that ball playing at that depth. I'd love to hear it. Maybe buxton, hamilton and kiermaier. Theres nothing routine about a ball hit on the line to center, right over a cf'ers head. It is by far the most difficult play to judge and read in the outfield. There is not a close second. Leury breaks in CONSTANTLY on balls hit at him. Trout is a nice but far from great defensive outfielder. Edited August 16, 2019 by Look at Ray Ray Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His reaction time was extrememly slow and his first three steps were to his right. I don't even know what the hell that feeble lunge was all about. It was a pathetic attempt and he probably faked the injury to try and save some embarrassment (it didn't work). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 lol I finally watched the video. WHo was that bears receiver that tried to jump for every ball even if it was at his ankles? that's what that reminded me of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centerfielder literally broke right away on that video. I'm not sure why I'm carrying on this conversation. Your anti-madrigal act is just tiring. I will never understand what makes a fan ridicule and rip a player who is succeeding and working his ass off: while having a great attitude and overcoming significant limitations to get where he is. Its honestly baffling. You will rip madrigal his entire career regardless of what he achieves. That's safe to say at this point. Fake the injury lol. Good stuff.
