Kyyle23 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Is there going to be a live feed of this game because I will totally watch his at bats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Oh boy, based on those batting cage swings, the Athletic was SO right, clearly has no power and is rushing this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I wish they would only DH him as well, but hopefully being out for a large chunk of time has taught him not to be stupid or reckless out there. Or someone has his ear about playing smarter in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 If you were family you would make sure he has a will and power of attorney. We just have to roll with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Google translate: My Trusted Source tells me that The Dominican ?? #EloyJimenez could be back with the #MLB team as fast as at the end of this week or starting the series on Monday vs the Twins #WhiteSox I would be surprised if he’s back by the end of this week but you never know.

heirdog Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Makes sense. You know he is a successful MLB hitter and he is murdering balls at over 100 mph exit velo so he is healthy. Why waste his bullets/swings down in AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much his performance as wanting to see how his body responds to playing games every day for a while before bringing him back. I'd be really surprised to see him before Milwaukee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blessing in all of this is that even if the trade deadline is underwhelming, we have Eloy and Robert soon. But just gut feeling that Grandal will be longer than we expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets sore you rest him. Now if he is in Charlotte to get swing timing down or used to playing again without hurting the MLB team's chance at winning, then keep him down.

There's been no talk of adding a catcher (though I think Molina would be an ideal get) so that tells me that they expect Grandal back early enough to get a few weeks in before the postseason.

Once he's back on the Sox, someone else is gone. Can't bring him back until you're confident he can play at least 5-6 games a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
