fathom Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) watching Birm game, Collins a total mess. Taking pitches right down plate and then swinging at pitches helmet high. He also has looked bad defensively, but got a lucky official scorer ruling of wild pitch and not passed ball. I wonder if they'll consider sending him back to W-S if this continues.

Wonder why he’s been so woefully bad - very disappointing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I wonder how long we have Zavala tear it up in Birmingham before we push him to AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Dash attempted to rally in the bottom of the 10th but came up just short. Adolfo had a chance for a walk off home run but hit into a force out up the middle, after Rutherford had barely missed tying the game with another double down the RF line. Still no homers, but 7 doubles already. Dash have won three games in walk off fashion under Vizquel, the Booker steal of home and two squeeze bunts. Fun team to follow.

soxfan49 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 At what point do they promote Booker? At 25 years old it’s kind of sink or swim time for him anyway, and aside from his time at WS last year, he’s hit for average at every level. He may never be much of an MLB contributor but damn, maybe he’s a valuable pinch runner in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not swinging at strikes. His swing looks decent actually when he lets it fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can prove he can hit in both of those spots, I’d bring him up maybe to start 2019 and get some starts in CF. Thompson & Engel stink, and Garcia is more of an IF’er, IMO.

thxfrthmmrs Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The 2 best teams to follow this year has been WS and Kanny. Early return from the 2017 draft has been very good outside of Burger and his injury. Hopefully when Eloy gets going and when Hansen returns, Bham starts cooking as well.

Feeky Magee Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I know people are down on him, but Zack Collins is walking 27.7% of the time, top of the Southern League, next highest is 20.6%. He's running a .059 BABIP. If he had last year's .283 BABIP, he'd have an OBP of .404. He also had a wRC+ of 166 at Birmingham last year. He's not been great but far too much doom and gloom about him. I think he'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Your 2018 AL Rookie of the Year Eddy Alvarez was 1-3 with a homer and 2 walks tonight. Was 2-2 with a walk, a double and a SF on his season debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
