His changeup was garbage and so was his fastball. He's not an ace sitting at 93. He is at 96-97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Ok I thought Delmon Young had more game power than he did. Looking for another guy. Basically what I was saying was that Eloy looks like he might be a .260/.310/.800 guy. If he's playing defense like crap idk if that's very valuable.

He is at 96-97. I honestly don't know how much of his velocity drop is due to the short ramp up period. This is a weird season. I probably shouldn't be too harsh on anyone but I'm annoyed because I expected more from some guys. BTW Giolito's fastball is only down .8 mph from 94.2 in 2019 to 93.4 this year. I haven't seen him hit 96-97 since his start against Cleveland though. Edited August 15, 2020 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I assume Timmy hit right into the shift? I saw the ball was rolling up the middle. If so, I continue to hate the shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't gotten much work to stay sharp in the last 7-10 days...I guess. Almost, almost had an error on Robert out in CF but saved himself at the last second getting the ball in.

greg775 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 That last at bat was beautiful. A line drive smash. I don't like the lift and pull, HR or strikeout nature of baseball. I'll take some line drives and ducksnorts and bunts against shifts, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Keep Eloy completely away from those situations by the tarp down the 3B foul line. They're going to have to think about stretching Detwiler back out in a starting role...as painful as it might be, if they can't get enough out of their bullpen starts. The first one from Foster was fine, just wonder how long that can be maintained. Edited August 15, 2020 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
