He got bailed out by the error but it was the most selfish at bat of the season. Didn’t make an effort at all to hit it to the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good kick in the arse. The shocking thing is that Moncada has a walk% of 12+% over 2020-21 but this year it's below 4% so far, by far the lowest of his career.

maloney.adam Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) What is so great about Menechino? The guy isn’t a good hitting coach so fire him. Enough is enough! Edited May 26, 2022 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Bummer's command has looked so much better the last 2 nights. I think it makes sense that his knee was contributing to his inability to throw strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 BTW if Moncada gets his shit together and puts up close to 3 WAR in 100 games or so(after he gets himself healthy) then his contract not a problem. If he sucks like this, then it's a problem. He does what he did in 2021 and his contract is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say that I think Menechino did a great job fixing Robert last year. Getting him to open his stance up fixed a lot of issues for him. But that doesn't excuse the results of the team offense so far this year. Even though the offense was good last year, they had a lot of issues get exposed in the postseason, where winning really occurs in the margins.

He was in the high 90s before and is now sitting 94-95. Dude used to sit 96-97 and touch 99. Edited May 26, 2022 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
