[Air Desmond]

9 strikeouts in 16 ab’s. Cause for concern.

This was already highlighted by fangraphs

TL;DR - He cant hit breaking stuff and last season was likely an outlier.

[Dave301]

Nats need to offer him an extension like his buddy Acuna got, ASAP.

[Air Desmond]

3 for 4. HR 3 RBI

Concern erased.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

The botulism of besbol worries.

That ball is due to land sometime next week in New Jersey.

[Air Desmond]

Majestic shot.

Soto’s at bats are always fun to watch. Even when he strikes out, he usually makes the pitcher work. He knows the strike zone better than the umpires.

Soto is listed as pretty much the smallest guy (other than Eaton) on the roster at 6'1 185.  http://m.nationals.mlb.com/roster/

There is no way that is close to true is it?  He looks at least 2-3 inches taller and 40 pounds heavier than Robles side by side.

It's pretty accurate, from standing near him.  The listing fudging there is more Robles' height, which should be more like 5'10 or 5'11.  I wouldn't be surprised if the weights are closer, though.  Robles is pretty jacked.

I don't know... he looks a lot closer to Harper dimensions than he does to Robles, and I think he's grown this year.

Funny. I've always thought Robles looked a little slight to me.

Heard multiple people say up close Robles is built like a linebacker. The baseball uniform masks that somewhat.

a linebacker? He's a 190 lbs.

[DPMOmaha]

I'm just telling ya what I've heard...maybe a college linebacker. Point being he's built like a brick house.
