Yeah his advanced age and lack of athleticism is on full display when he tries chasing down pop ups in foul territory. Our guys can make almost anything close but it seems like he has no chance on a lot of them.
They played this montage of Mad Max during his start on the Fox broadcast and it's got it all...talking to himself, blowing on his finger gun after a good pre-game warmup pitch, telling Febles to get the hell out of his way, etc.
Vintage Mad Max
If they get approval in time we could see Loperfido in the starting lineup tonight over IKF.
I did fiddle around with Statcast some and if Castillo brings the heat then Davis Schneider is essentially worthless. He can't hit 96+ from righties. IKF can slap hit them a little bit.
I imagine they would have liked to have gotten Joey's lefty bat in there against Castillo tonight.
But even if approved in time, these lights are pretty bright for Joey to be playing on short notice after having sat for so long.
POUR IT ON BOYS
I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET ANOTHER HIT
YOU MASH....ALL.....NIGHT
IF THEY GET INTO SCORING POSITION YOU'RE HITTING THE SHOWERS
YOU MAKE SURE THEY REMEMBER, FOREVER, THE NIGHT THEY PLAYED THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS
LEAVE NO DOUBT
