The only real weakness I see in his game is that he can't hit lefties but man do I love his approach at the plate and while he's not fast, he does hustle.

His defense has fallen off the last few years.

What the hell is this???

Conspiracy to find a way to put him on DL.....  He will go down after game anyway. 10 days either way.

I had no issue with him swinging at it. Ball was up. 

I know, it should have gone 400 feet.

Mark "Black Hole" Trumbo.  Could he not have done this last year and saved the old man a bunch of money? 

He does this last year and Britton doesn't get a front row seat to watch the WC game.

Yep, he's at 1.7 rWAR from 2015-2017.

I'd rather have a draft pick and the 38M.

And WTG Trumbo.

Who are you getting?  Always easy in theory than reality?  Sandoval is nice for Boston.

True.

Tinfoil hat idea:. Ynoa was told to go out and act hurt a bit, setting the stage for a DL move tomorrow so someone like Asher can come back up.  And probably promised a callup later.

Exactly....

[Palmoripken]

What do you guys think of Ynoa? Never seen him before. I'm impressed. I have no idea what his potential is but he is fairly young. 

[Chavez Ravine]

Ynoa is getting better as the game goes on.

[Aristotelian]

DD is on a roll hitting on these AAA 5th starter guys. Asher vs TOR, Aquino vs BOS, Wilson vs BOS, now Ynoa. 

 

[LA2]

I missed it. What was the trainer concerned about with Ynoa?

I think he if throws like this he can get big league hitters out.

He's been a hell of a lot better than Gausman or Jimenez lol.

Excellent sequencing of pitches.  We may have found us a nugget.
