daggins Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20170604 Something weird i've noticed is that when Basabe and Collins are both in the lineup, they both tend to have similar results. No real evidence to back that up, just seems that way. Michalczewski continues to hit the ball hard. Maybe, like Engel, he needed a demotion to remember how to hit?

caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Moncada really in a prolonged slump now...still over 800 ops, maybe frustrated knowing there's no promotion to Chicago in sight? Certainly not playing as well as a month ago. Average now has slipped under .300 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Two things - he was due for a slump, given that he's carried a .400+ BABIP for most of the season, and also, he's returning from an injury, which might be nagging him a bit. He should still be up in July, which was probably the plan all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 His batting average was always going to regress. Even Mike Trout wouldn't be able to sustain a ~.440 BABIP in AAA. But it's definitely noteworthy that he hasn't been hitting for much power lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) http://m.milb.com/player/660162#nav_splits More concerned with LH/RH split numbers equalizing...also, 5/6 homers at Charlotte. Edited June 4, 2017 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I would bet he's trying too hard to justify a promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) The lost timing from the hand injury also makes sense...although he was already beginning to struggle when that issue arose. Delmonico, Asche and Blair © the only ones alive offensively. Burdi struggling yet again...a bit of a worrisome trend considering he's supposed to be the dominant, lockdown closer of the future. Double, k, wild pitch, walk, walk. Especially considering it's an 8-3 blowout. Center cut fastball, seems May could/should have caught it, two runs score. ERA up to 4.64 now. Gets dp ball to escape further damage. Edited June 4, 2017 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Let's hope this is THE low point for Moncada. 0/5 with 3 k's, the last against LH reliever. Edited June 4, 2017 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 02:51 PM) Should never take a closer in the first round of the draft On draft night last year they were in contention and I think the plan was for him to be up before the end of the season. It was a bad pick then and looks even worse now that they're in a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins was the #1 pick for the future, and Burdi was the bonus pick they talked themselves into thinking he could help in the stretch drive, a la Finnegan for the Royals. Burdi may still be a good piece to the rebuild, but you never know with power arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveno89 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 02:51 PM) Should never take a closer in the first round of the draft I wanted Dakota Hudson in place of burdi last year. Thought he had a chance of beginning a starter in the majors. I'm not working burdi off, but I am very against drafting relievers early when other positions are harder to fill.

It was a bad pick then and looks even worse now that they're in a rebuild. They also planned to start Burdi at one point before changing their minds on that stance. Collins 7 game hitting streak. Has hit in 10 of last 11 games. Average starting to slowly climb. Edited June 4, 2017 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
