He's doing much better at AA now since being brought back up. Nice to see and I'm sure he's at least one more year away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Engel has a 742 OPS in Birmingham this year, and it's trending up. He MIGHT be better than Austin Jackson. Will turn 25 this December. If anything, he profiles more like Adam Eaton-Lite. But, if you have Eaton and Engel in the same outfield, you absolutely have to get huge power numbers from RF/DH. Otherwise, you won't be able to contend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing shocks me anymore especially with my boy Q on the mound. This team is running Aliva, Garcia, and Shuck out there in the 7, 8, and 9 spots. It is delusional to think that a team has a shot at the playoffs with three absolute scrubs in the starting lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Avila is fine for a catcher and batting 8th/9th. Shuck is a subpar bench option and I don't know what Avi is but it ain't an MLB player. Masterful work tonight in dashing any potential hopes of another winning streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Eaton had that home run binge in years past, it adversely affect his game and he started getting out of game and swinging for the fences. See Willie Mays Hayes scene in Major League. The dude leads the AL and probably majors with infield hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 So, as far as I can find, the record for most consecutive PAs without a BB is 207. Tim still has a ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
