Damn Belts got under that

Roogie !

 

[Bmurph]

Roogie doubling machine

Odor's power really is impressive for his size.

 

[DT LUNA]

One more Lroy.

I'll be interested when he's hitting better than .250 in AAA and shows me some big league at bats at the big league level. Right now he's got some work to do earn trust.

I think you will get your wish for that last part sometime next April. He has already done the first part that you requested along with an OPS of .991.

We'll see. He needs to show he can translate to the big league level. People keep talking about hoping he's Chris Davis 2.0, but Chris Davis hit over .300 consistently at AAA. Gallo hasn't come close.

It wasn't so long ago people were ready to ship him back to Japan.

Yeah, when he gave up runs in 2 of his first 7 appearances the you-better-be-successful-right-away-or-you-are-garbage crowd was frustrated.

 

[darrylgann]

Come on Profar!

 

[romeo212000]

You'd think Dyson and Jeffress would be unavailable tonight. Thinking maybe Kela and Diekman close?

Don't think I ever said he was garbage. I did say I didn't trust him yet.

 

[romeo212000]

Profar missed a fat one there.

 

[DT LUNA]

Wasted that one

I hope he is better than Chris.

 

[romeo212000]

I hope he is better than Chris.

I hope so too, but I'm not convinced.

 

[Bmurph]

Nice play Choo

 

[romeo212000]

Nice play, choo.

 

[darrylgann]

Chooooooooooo! Good defense!

Not you in particular and not trying to make a direct quote of anyone. The idea is that most fans tend to be extremely impatient and put way too much importance on what a player does right away. It goes the other way as well. Sometimes we fans tend to get too optimistic when someone has early success.

FWIW I wasn't specifically saying you were one of the people wanting Barnette gone.
