If Rodon’s arm was dead, it got better (in Monty Python and the Holy Grail voice).

I know he has come through, but seems like any times Moncadas up w a runner in scoring position in higher leverage, it ends with him walking back to the bench.
His RISP numbers may be OK, but overall he has not been near the offensive player he was in 2019 and that they hoped for when they signed him to the extension.
It does seem like he K’s an awful lot with guys on base, I agree. The whole team has been pretty awful that way recently though. Past 2-3 weeks getting runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs has been close to pitiful as a team.

On a happier note, thank you Rick Hahn. What a steal Hernandez has been.
Small sample size but his numbers have been getting better as the season goes. Gotta like him, dude has 20 homers. They didn’t miss much getting him instead of Escobar at all.
Kimbrel started warming when it was a 2 run game. I assume the plan was Kimbrel setting up a Hendriks save. But it was too late to warm a different pitcher after Cesar and Jose made it a non-save situation
Cesar keeps on rolling
There you go, Moncada

Moncada has a 0.984 OPS with RISP this year coming into today (and has a two-run double today). I’m ok with that but you may have higher expectations.

That’s what I mean. I know his RISP numbers are good, but the strikeouts (particularly later innings) are what stand out to me this year.
Perhaps just an effect of Moncada not meeting the expectations, the bad gets anchored more than the good.

Why didn’t he have Kimbrel cover the 9th
Weird
