He needs to get to that next step of being able to hang in there when he doesn't have his good stuff. He will get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was dumb they didn’t pivot to Harper after Machado signed when you were already discussing a potential $300 mill contract. Harper should have been the primary target. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I wonder if their coach handed out next-gen apple watches. Their home/away splits are fun. Lot more home runs. Slugging goes up. Home cooking Cora style. http://stats.washingtonpost.com/mlb/teamstats.asp?team=02&type=profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of nowhere he gets pummelled. Lots of hanging sliders and curves and he just kept on throwing them. Just throw the fastball and locate it as best you can and mix it the sliders and curves. Seems like he was breaking pitch dominant tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 just woke up in Europe and…wtf was this? Oh well, move on. Silver lining: the Red Sox play of late makes our sweep in Fenway look better… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have had the foresight to move Luis Gonzalez to RF like the Giants did...Avg. 338/OPS 860. Steller defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite true. He recently had another stinker. Will be interesting to see what’s going on. I believe the general take is that he has been often limited (to the extent that he has been limited), by bouts with wandering focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxForce2 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) 20/20 hindsight - Devers over Moncada in the Sale trade. Moncada the better fielder - but that could be worked around. Hopefully this will inspire Mo to do a little better at the plate. Does Cease throw a true sinker or a two-seam with some snap to it? Not much snap last night. And that knuckle-curve...
