kid has a full face but are people really starting to say he's getting fat? i thought i saw some buddha/fat stuff in the game threads lol
he's no longer out of shape but that's how he showed up... and for the 2nd year in a row mgmt told him to drop weight now if they could only teach him to not try and pull everything he needs to go back to that player he was in his rookie year... he must unlearn what he has learned
Roberts said Chris Taylor will continue to play mostly center field and Joc Pederson, currently on the disabled list, will need to produce during a rehab assignment in order to earn back playing time in center. Jenny Craig likes this.
And there it is. While I was busy on Bellinger-Pipp watch, this came out of left field (or 2B? or 3B? or whatever the hell was Taylor's position).
To be fair, wasn't there a video of Joc showing off his home and the freezer was full of ice cream? I guess that's what happens when Champ is your nutritionist.
Pederson set to begin what may be prolonged rehab assignment by Matthew Moreno | Dodger Blue — 27 minutes ago The Los Angeles Dodgers have been cautious with Joc Pederson since he suffered a concussion after colliding with Yasiel Puig on May 23. Pederson was immediately removed, while Puig remained in the game. The Dodgers initially diagnosed Pederson with a sprained neck. He also suffered a cut on his forehead as a result of falling face-first into the fence in right-center field. After a stretch of no activity gave way to increased workload, Pederson is set to begin a rehab assignment on Friday. He fielded fly balls at Dodger Stadium prior to Monday’s series opener against the Washington Nationals. Pederson was pleased with getting through the workout without issue. While a date for his rehab assignment is set, which affiliate(s) it will come with or the duration of it has not yet been determined. “It’s kind of contingent on how he’s responding,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “Hopefully we’ll get him back sooner rather than later.” When Pederson comes off the concussion disabled list is also going to be dependent on production. He’s batting .200/.309/.314 with six doubles, two home runs, 11 RBI, 13 walks and 33 strikeouts in 35 games this season. “When Joc comes back, we’re going to have the confidence that he is swinging the bat the way he should be to warrant helping our club,” Roberts said. “With Joc, we really want him swinging the bat well before he gets here.” Without Pederson the Dodgers have turned to Chris Taylor. He’d made the most of opportunities at second base because of an injury to Logan Forsythe, and has continued to capitalize on the extended playing time. This season is Taylor’s first experience in center field. He began to familiarize himself with the position during Spring Training.
I don't really think Joc is fat, but the Dodgers don't really have a fun punching bag at the moment so I'm all in on getting some jokes in
