soxfan49 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 06:20 PM) Since the similarity of each at-bat has made me curious, here is an inventory of all of May's PAs: K looking: 3 K swinging: 5 GO 4: 7 Sac bunt: 1 FO 8: 2 HBP: 1 BB: 1 GO 6: 2 GO 3: 2 Yep. In 24 PAs, he's grounded out to second almost 25% of the time, or four times as much as he hits the ball in the air. While Garcia the best in baseball, May is the worst.

lasttriptotulsa Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 06:22 PM) A) how much control does he have left and B) who needs a corner outfielder? Keep it up Avi! Avi has two more years after this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panerista Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 06:30 PM) If he has a good year I could see him signing an extension He's probably just young enough, but I can still see them capitalizing on a strong season and moving him. Honestly, though I get the feeling he won't be very good this year. Hopefully Robertson continues to be strong to net more prospects.

Ducksnort Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Turned the game off in the 7th only to see that the Sox came back and won! Nice! Good to see Avi finally turning it around We can only hope he continues. Love our pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 06:21 PM) If that inning doesn't convince you that Hawk is not the same I don't know what will. Yeah, there is no doubt he is nearly blind now. It is sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Perhaps the most impressive thing about Avi is that he is hitting so much better than the rest of the team. It isn't as though they have faced terrible pitching and everyone in the lineup were crushing the ball. Look at the averages of the rest of Sox. My confidence is growing daily, that he is finally coming into his own. I'm sure that his confidence is soaring, as well. I'm rooting for him and am thrilled to see him have some success.
