Warhead36 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Soto could hit 50 this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander -JB- Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Soto’s swing is a thing of beauty.  Shades of Ken Griffey Jr.  Just a damn natural 🤘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Good news/bad news on the Nats game in Tampa against the Yankees.  Good news: Joe Ross started, pitched 2 innings and retired all six Yankees he faced (all major leaguers). He threw first pitch strikes to 5 of the 6 batters. His fastball was in the 93-94 mph range.  Bad news: Things fell apart after Ross left with a 2-0 lead. Carter Keiboom was charged with another error, airmailing a throw over first after charging a chopper to third. And, per Mark Zuckerman, Victor Robles was wincing and favoring his left side after a throw of his sailed over third base. Mercifully, rain halted the game in the 5th with the Yankees leading 8-2.  But good news on Joe Ross. Edited February 26, 2020 by Dan T. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I think Ross is going to surprise people this year.  Hope that Robles is alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Dad is a Yankees fan and jus text me he didnt know he was smashing the champs. In February.

It'll be Voth or Ross.  And we need that Big Vic Energy. He';s 22. He'll rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 was really hoping Kieboom got off to a good start defensively. he knows he has to defend to stay up here, each one probably stays in his mind longer than they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Eaton is on fire so far batting leadoff. 3 runs and nothing is getting past him. Edited February 28, 2020 by Bacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Feel like Stras could win a Cy Young this year. Gonna be the start of the 2nd half of what will be a HOF career. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 That change up was to the #1 overall prospect in baseball, Wander Franco. In 667 AB in the Minors, he's K'd just 54 times. He looked utterly helpless on that pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Kieboom with another E. Ball was well hit, but right at him. Over his glove and through his legs.  Soto robbed of a 2 run HR by the wind blowing in from left. Zim robbed too I thought back in the first inning.

Might be best for him to spend at least another year in the minors. Call him up in Sept to give him another taste without the pressure. Don’t see him making the team at this rate. Which means we’ve got a hole in the infield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 It's not even March yet. Keep playing him at 3B to make these mistakes now. If he's still doing this in 2 weeks, then starting the season in AAA isn't the worst idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry.Randolphe Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Robles made tons of mistakes early last season and worked his way out of it....let Kieboom work through this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
