Like he immediately realized it was uncatchable and got himself in the perfect position to the prevent the next runner from scoring. We rarely see smart plays like that from White Sox players.

CeaseAndExist Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Jack Parkman said: He's swinging at pitcher's pitches and giving away at bats/outs for the sake of making contact, which is exactly what I feared most about his profile. His speed not being anywhere close to as advertised isn't good either. Madrigal is a contact hitter, he puts the ball in play. That's not an "issue" it's how he hits. Kevin Newman of the Pirates or Fletcher on the Angels are the best comps. And you're just being a weird hater about his speed. He's not Robert and nobody has ever said he has 80 speed. He's quick and has 60 grade speed, which plays up because he's a great baserunner. 2/3 of Madrigal's value comes from his defense and baserunning. If he can hit at a league 2B average that's a 3 WAR player you have locked in to 2B for the next 6 years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 So much for the Heuer to the rescue storyline. Doesn't get Starling, probably pulled. Managed to escape the game and only give up 1. That will help build his confidence that he managed to get out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 He’s got a good eye but you can also tell it’s like advanced or something, the way he uses the recognition. And he’s probably just tapping into that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Nice win today boys. Couldn't be more involved in the conversation, but loved the performance from Eloy and Robert. The future of this team is exciting and unfolding right before our eyes. The good teams beat up on the teams they're supposed to beat. If this season somehow miraculously survives, and the Sox can continue do this to teams like KC, Det, PIT, etc, they will get a playoff spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
