Bob Sacamano Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I really want Giolito to pitch well, but my fantasy team needs for him to get torched today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'm going to say it again but Anderson and Moncada should bat 1-2 every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Nice rip down the LF line by Engel. He's been a nice surprise so far with the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 02:51 PM) Nice rip down the LF line by Engel. He's been a nice surprise so far with the bat. I was thinking right before he did that (c'mon Adam just rip one right down that left field line), then boom it happened. As awful as he has looked during that bad stretch of atbats, he has had some clutch at bats. Likes to hit them down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 02:52 PM) No Trayce Thompson? Trayce was a little different of a player. Hit more for power, Engel is more of a singles guy with speed, although Engel does seem to like to drive runs in. 20 driven in with the amount of at bats he has had isn't too shabby. Both guys did have pretty good defense, although Engel with a lot more range, making up for those plays that Trayce had to otherwise dive for.

Dick Allen Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) No Trayce Thompson? Trayce as well. I am hoping it's real with Engel, but I'm not buying it, yet and still his OPS is under .600. It could help his confidence. Hasn't he usually been a real streaky hitter? It's kind of bizarre, I was at a game he turned around a Matt Bush 100 MPH fastball right up the middle, and I have seen him blown away by fastballs nowhere near that.

Yeah I like Engel's progress so far. After seeing Thompson fall back to earth last year, I have no expectations from Engel. If he solidifies himself as the starting CF that's great but if he doesn't it's no big deal since I wasn't expecting him to become a starting CF'r anyway. I'm just sitting back and enjoying the show, for however long it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree and that's why I'm just going with the wait and see approach. I never expected him to do as much as he's done but we've seen this with Trayce. It's not fair to Engel but they are very similar players. As for the fastballs. I think Engel is simply over thinking, as Hawk would say. It could explain why sometimes he's on the fastball and late on others. Or, he's up there guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his defense out there in the outfield, I think he probably has the majority of starts in Center next year as long as he stays healthy, no mattee really how he hits, just because he saves a lot of pitchers some headache with the range he has out there. Anything he does offensively is a plus. So you can sit back and enjoy him next year for probably at least a couple more months haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I thought Adam would struggle making team next year with more guys getting close for time, but I realized he really only has Leury and May competing for CF, so he probably has our 4th outfield locked down.

southsider2k5 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 I like seeing Giolito have innings like this to see how he makes adjustments mentally. I like it even better to see him pitch out with no damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
