I doubt he throws like that to second. That would be embarrassing.

That motion is just, strange? I guess that's how I would put it.

He even took a walk in his first major league game.

I didn't notice it until he pointed it out either. Was busying watching us destroy the ball.

They got the heavy shift on for Gallo and threw him about 15 straight breaking balls. Talk about respect for the youngster.

House hasn't said anything all night about it. Usually he is all over fundamentals.

I know this is dorky, but I was impressed by how he worked that walk in the 8th. Jesus, this guy could be really, really good.

What is the deal with the Sox Catcher? He looks so uncoordinated throwing the ball back.


That's Geovany Soto, former rookie of the year.

He's got a case of the yips, it's been happening all year

Soto has been doing that for awhile now. He was doing that during his tenure with the Rangers as well.

The sound that bat made on Gallo's homerun was something I've rarely heard before. Harper has it as well but just the speed and the smoothness of their swings when they get one is something that needs to be seen live.

Even his strikeout wasn't bad. If the ump had called a ball on that second pitch that was more outside than the first, he probably doesn't strike out there

I think he'll be a 3 true outcome player with a little bit higher BA than most of those guys

.260 AVG, 40+ HR, 100+walks, 180+ K's

Unwritten MLB rules, rookies will see a few pitches, wait until they adjust and find his weakness.

His weakness is obvious. The guy is going to strike out 33% of the time.
