Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Take the 89 mph fastball down the dick; swing at the slider out of the zone lol. Eloy is something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 All you have to do is get the breaker close and Eloy has no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Elroy..... I'm starting to think Eloy is overhyped. Not a very smart player either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 No one jumps ship faster than Sox fans in gamechats. The talent is still there. That said, I had been souring on Eloy last year and I'm at the point where I just don't see it with him going forward. Too many ground balls. Bad pitch recognition. His hit tool had to carry him because the rest of his tools are bad. Yoan, Robert, Tim, Yaz, Vaughn... not worried about. Eloy, I'm very worried.

I agree, but if there was literally 1 thing to be confident in stabilizing/regressing it's Yaz getting his approach right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is hitting and no one is catching the ball. We can be mad at the Tony / Leury thing all we want, but this team is playing like shit. Isn’t it the job of a HOF manager to have guys come out ready to play? If he’s bad at strategy isn’t everyone supposed to be motivated and focused? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to get Swept by Cleveland. I thought we took division opponents seriously? I think TLR has gone senile and taking this whole team down with him, Fuck em all right now!

I'm not really worried about approach in the long term. Yaz is just too smart a hitter. He'll figure it out. He's being attacked a bit differently this year and he's trying to attack the pitches early in the count to counter. Think he'll figure it out and this is juts a slow start for Yaz.

I think the right hitting coach could certainly get Eloy to lift the ball more. Maybe you can improve his approach overall, maybe you can't, I don't know. But if Eloy was a Dodger/Giant/Ray I have no doubt he would be pulling the ball in the air significantly more than he is right now. It's very frustrating to watch. It feels similar to watching Cease have this incredible stuff but not getting any strikeouts before the Sox hired Katz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB hitting coaches just really don't mean all that much. This is on Eloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
