One of Collins or Zavala should be promoted around early June so that they can each catch more IMO. Quality of competition is about the same if not slightly worse anyway.

Quite the inning there.

Is it safe to say Eloy Jimenez has been figured out? He just popped out in foul territory. Awful.

The classic Marco Scutaro play. Love it

Eloy is #ForcingTheIssue

Very pleased by this news, but I still have doubts as to whether he'll actually appear in an MLB game again. Hope he proves me wrong.

He certainly deserves it. Cedeno too.

Bunting for Adam Engel to get a shot with RISP is always a smart move

Tank win

I thought he was sarcastic but I guess he actually meant it. Wow

This is all true. I also think that batted ball stats need to be taken into consideration, although at AA that's obviously easier said than done. I only brought that point because I couldn't tell if Daggins was implying that his BABIP was high, which has since been clarified.

I agree with everything in this post except for the last part- I'm not calling him a stud (on offense) because of 2 weeks. It's the entire body of work that impresses me. His career minor league numbers are what prompt my excitement in him. I also believe his slugging % and home runs will increase in MLB because a. Birmingham is very pitcher friendly b. The juiced ball is causing a power surge in players who get called up from the minors lately

Don’t know if this is what you were implying but a .300 BABIP is actually below average, and often suggests an increase in his batting average. But it’s his on base skills that have me excited.

Collins is an absolute monster offensively. I hope those who jumped ship due to a bad 2 weeks in April are watching this.

Lots of lefties in the pen now. When will Cedeno or Gomez get a shot? They have better track records than most of the guys currently in our bullpen.

Comeback wins are always fun. I missed Moncada though

But the ball is the exact same!!!!1!!

Forecast looks *slightly* better. Rain delays still likely

I hear more about Javier Baez than I do Mike Trout.

Tim Anderson

I actually do think we’ll see him in August or September but it would be wise to wait until next May.

I hope this gets called. Moncada could use the day off
