I still believe he still looks for the walk moreso. Very similar to Moncada last season. The difference is I don't think Collins will change as dramatically as Moncada did on being aggressive. He's been aggressive now than he had in his first stint, but he is still a guy that is going to work the count. Collins will never be a guy who hits for high average. Hell in his limited PAs now that he's been up, he's hitting .150. But he has a .346 OBP. That is where his value will always be.

I've seen him turn around 99 in AAA. His bat speed is fine. I think he believed he was getting something off speed in that at bat. He'll learn.

Kid is going to hit 30 bombs this year and he's missed alot of time on the IL. 2020 Eloy will be incredible to watch.

ELOY!!!!!

That was a great AB by Moncada.

Other than Dunning, I like the Sox chances of developing a Adolfo/Walker/Basabe/etc. for RF in a year or so than finding another quality SP in that regard.

I don't think anyone here is shocked either considering the poster.

At least Collins now is getting consistent at bats.

That ESPN Dennis Rodman 30 for 30... outstanding.

That is pretty incredible.

Yolmer leading our team in walks. His BB% has increased the last 3 years in the league.

Oakland is beating the Astros 20-5....

OT but wow.

Wow.

Yea I'm not trading Bummer.

He got a walk. I'll take it lol.

.890 OPS now for Moncada.

YOYO!!! GOD DAMN!!!

But it doesn't count as a PA for the hitter. I'm trying to see where the line is on that.

I can't remember, but catcher's interference counts towards a hitter's OBP right? Or no?

Ricky is on the bench in this game.

I can't wait till this new can't have relievers only face one guy anymore gets implemented. Ricky's micromanaging is too much.

Yikes. Just googled that.

I'll take this as we'll (maybe) see you in 2020 Jake.
