Eloy Pollock Grandal Moncada Only 1 of them appears like they are going to do so. Pollock in a platoon is fine......somehow he did not play Monday.

Instead he went up there and flailed at some pitches. That at-bat or the rebuild? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 For on the field stuff, there’s certainly a reason they keep showing his lack of hustle down the baseline. They don’t do that for Anderson or Abreu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijames1957 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Can Moncada be sent down? The guy is supposed to be just entering his prime years and instead he looks hopelessly broken. I don't know what you do with him but you have to do something to shake him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Yoan is slumping a bit. He was on fire for a month. It's normal. It's called baseball. I'd be more concerned if he wasn't walking. Vaughn had a bad few weeks and we were all(myself included) freaking out about him too. One thing I've learned is that it's more difficult to recover numbers wise from a bad first month than going into a slump midseason after starting hot. Hitting is all hot streaks and slumps just like having a hot shooting percentage in basketball Edited August 3, 2022 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
