Chicago White Sox Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 07:42 PM) Wtf is going on with Charlotte, especially their pitching? The ERAs are sickening I mean, the defense has been terrible. That's not going to help. Either is starting half your games at BB&T Ballpark. Obviously the big three have underperformed (especially Fulmer), but their ERAs were always going to be a bit inflated given the circumstances. I still have full confidence in both Lopez & Giolito based on my expectations coming into the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 07:13 PM) Fulmer is so going to be a reliever. What a massive disappointment as a starter. I Think at this point I'd be reasonably happy with him being an effective reliever. The command has never been there, but what happened to him missing bats? K rate has plummeted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 It's kind of interesting to see how some guys perform better in Chicago than Charlotte. I actually wouldn't mind some of these guys getting the call just to see if better coaching helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid had a funky like motion (Lincecum like) and now he mostly pitches out of the stretch. Not a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveno89 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 12:20 AM) Adolfo - 2/3, HR, 2B, BB, 3 RBI (Avg. at .290) Frost - 2/5, 2 2B, RBI Yurchak - 2/4 Agar - 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K Micker Adolfo is quietly having his best pro season yet and has been red hot lately. He's started drawing more walks this past week, although he's still striking out way too often. The power has really started to show as well, with 4 homers in his last 10 games (.351 batting average). I'm happy for him and hope he continues to build on his recent success.

bmags Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I know, arbitrary starts and all that. But Micker started off April injured and cold hitting 233/292/300 Since then, he's hit .309/.355/.585 good for a .940 OPS. He started turning his May doubles into June home runs. He still k's a lot, and his slash line isn't great when he falls behind, but what a turn of events for this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still k's a lot, and his slash line isn't great when he falls behind, but what a turn of events for this guy. At this stage you are looking for progress and improvement. I think an argument can be made that he is the most improved minor leaguer in the entire Sox system this year. While there is still plenty of room for improvement, seeing Micker start to push towards his potential thrills me to no end, especially in a system that still lacks a lot of top end positional potential.

One thing if he's just hitting for higher average, but the power at age 20 is really nice to see The power is his calling card, so that is extra nice. Having him on pace for 20+ homers is great at this age, as usually power is the last thing to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things would need to happen in my eyes. #1, he keeps up this ridiculous run and he ends up with 25-30 homers, along with a respectable batting average. #2, K's come down into the 25% range.
