caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Nice basket catch by Moncada. Lucas going through the dreaded "dead arm" period out of spring training? Last start, his stuff looked much crisper, especially the FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert is a superstar CF'er. I'd rather judge him on what I've seen from him the majority of the time vs. one massively comical and terrible folly. Vaughn - what do you all expect. Dude has never played the OF. It will clearly be an adventure there - that is why they will need to put in defensive replacements, etc. Clearly if Vaughn can't hit (and I'm not coming to that conclusion from the 3-4 games he's played) than they have to rethink things (and at some point you can trade for players too). It isn't like Eloy was good either. Eaton isn't that good - he's meh...but the other end of that platoon is Engel who is a phenomenal defender...so you are going to have 2 really good defenders more often than not in that OF. You also have a 3B/SS who have a ton of range - which helps cover a bit for Vaughn too. Nothing wrong with Grandal/Abreu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just now, Soxfest said: Lucas should of ate this lineup for lunch and cruised tonight. He hasn't had his fastball command in either start to begin the season, it's what has killed him. He's at least thrown some good sliders tonight which he didn't have in the first start .

South Side Hit Men Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Nice to get out of that after the leadoff walk with minimal pitches. He should be able to go five, maybe into the sixth, depending on if he has any arm issues/concerns based on the drop of velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's nothing like the player he was his last two seasons at OSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
