I know that he has some bad moments and is sometimes in Bobby's doghouse, but sometimes Escobar shows some real baseball intelligence. He threw out a Marlin who wasn't paying attention. He has taken bases when players lost focus. Once in a spring training game he deliberately dropped a soft liner in order to try to start a double play. The umpire started chewing him out for it. He's the kind of guy that would get you with a hidden ball trick. I dig that about him.

Twice is much cooler
I dig writing things twice too. Plus, I love Yunel as much as anyone. He has a Cuban Swagga that this team needs.

agree, but it also makes his lapses more frustrating
because we do see those flashes of baseball IQ and at least I hope that he can consistently bring that to the field.
Yes. The sneak play last night was money. Love watching Yunel play.
