Last night was Exhibit A for why some of us think he’s mediocre. "Naysayers" after he's played 33 MLB games lol. The guy could be an All Star and people would still b**** about him. He's polarizing and he always will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Ah.. Unfortunately I feel asleep before first pitch last game (good for me as I had to be up at 3am CST), but tonight I get to watch the game. Guaranteeing a WIN for the white Sox tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday (since I get to watch these games). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was Exhibit A for why some of us think he’s mediocre. I’ve been an Madrigal apologist and there is zero excuse for fucking up that play. He simply needs to be better and until then people can question his non-contact abilities. Still a really small sample size, but the dumb plays and fuckups are starting to get real frustrating.

flavum Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I have a good feeling about Vaughn’s first game. Double and single. Maybe knock in a couple. Let’s go, AV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's polarizing and he always will be. I really don't think that's the case with Nick. I don't want to speak for everyone....but if Madrigal hits for a high average, shows good defense and plays smart, all things we were told about over and over and over again.....then he met expectations. Thus far....he has shown 1 out of the 3. That's not enough for a guy that will probably stay around a .750 OPS. I hope we see the other traits come out. He still has plenty of time. But thus far......hasn't been there at the ML level. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly aside from being annoyed at how bad his baserunning was the only thing I can’t help but harp on is the constant praising of his baseball IQ and instincts when it shows so little. Robert seems like a much more instinctual baseball player but nobody ever praises him for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronson Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Good luck today guys. was happy with my Angels winning but I would be lying if I said a lot of it wasn't just pure luck. That 8th inning was killer. Heaney is on the bump so you'll probably light him up. He's not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I've been saying this for years -- for as much as Madrigal gets (or got) praise for his high baseball IQ, instincts, work ethic, and so on, Luis Robert has all of that and even more. He has some of the best instincts I've ever seen on the diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
