I mean some people pass out because of the awkward pain and inability to breathe. Moncada could have just needed a moment to adjust to the quick change in breathing and pain.

He grimaces after fucking everything. Some people are like Abreu and Paulie who play through everything. Then you have dudes who look like they're in constant pain. But I just enjoy posters saying "he's not hurt" and then it coming back that he has a bruised rib. If you have a bruised rib, yeah, you're probably gonna be down for a minute to catch your breath. I don't understand the proof that he's soft comment. Unless you feel what he feels how can there be proof ? Certainly not proof that would hold up in a court of Law.

maxjusttyped Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Moncada hit .435 in the WBC, with a ton of power, and that was met with silence. Which is fine. But then someone collides with him in the outfield which somehow means it's time to start taking shots at him again. I don't get it. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoan sells every little ding like he's Shawn Michaels, but I don't see how anybody can call him soft. He's dramatic, but he doesn't miss much time at all. He doesn't "act tough" but the proof is in the pudding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there’s resentment that he didn’t pan out as the face of the franchise superstar that the hype of being the #1 overall prospect tends to generate, so some people are just waiting for reasons to criticize him. Which is silly, of course. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Since we're making comments on Moncada, let me say this: His offense is what it is. We can all see his numbers. But on defense, he gets a lot of praise here. I have noticed in the last 3 years or so, he made a lot of lousy throws to first that Abreu was able to snag. IOW, Abreu save Moncada a lot of errors. I doubt if Vaughn and Sheets are as good as Abreu in scooping up errant throws. This means we will be looking at a lot of throwing errors from Moncada in 2023, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is silly, of course. This. Moncada is a very good player outside of 2022 but he's not a franchise changing superstar and those were the expectations. The fans (wrongly) think he's a bust because he's merely a 3-4 WAR player most years and not Jose Ramirez. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed Jose Abreu playing for Cuba in the WBC where the announcers were lauding Moncada for his defense. Especially one play where the PBP guy goes "it'll be tricky to get Turner on this" and Yoan guns him down by 4 steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An injury may very well affect part of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just don't understand the need to immediately get up from something that hurts and possibly do more damage. This rub some dirt on it, get up walk it off macho BS should 've stopped happening a long time ago . Is sports the last bastion of male judgemental bullying of the supposed weak garbage ? We have no right to call anyone soft based on our observations of body language. It's just a biased judgement based on no inside information. We don't share pain receptors or brain function. Concussions used to mean nothing. How is that looking now ? You got your bell rung . You'll be ok . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''I've still got them,'' said Appling, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1964. ''I've got a bad right knee. Hurt it in an old-timers game. And a bad left knee and right shoulder. I reinjured the right knee a couple of years ago. I think it's mutilated now.'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
