Richie Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Feel for the guy - as that's a far fall from being the opening day CF for the big league club a year ago. However, he's basically plateau'd as a .250 (.600's OPS) AAA ball player at 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Great there goes our starting CF. Imagine other teams laughing when they see Engel and May out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like a pretty extreme post for a AAA outfielder that was generally a good kid & teammate. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refer to his other posts and you would see a running theme of negative connotations. It is what is I guess. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a player doesn't do well, I will never, ever understand people reacting this way to seeing a career crumble. Why say shit like this? Does it make you feel all big and tough or something? He's a human being, he didn't pan out as a ballplayer, I'm sure he's not happy about it either. This just makes you seem like a miserable human being. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skooch Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Grow up, man. These kids make squat for money too. I think it's actually fair to say that they make less than squat and live a pretty hard life in the minors. He's living out a dream and I admire him for chasing his dream. Best of luck, kid!

Sometime the truth hurts. Kid is mostly likely going to have to get a real job like the rest of us. Y'all are acting like I wished like him and his family to get cancer or something. In the words of Tom Hanks, "there is no crying in baseball."! Also, I watch baseball and go to Soxgames to be entertained. It was painful to watch this kid out in center last year. If I wanted to watch minor league baseball i would go to Kane county not 35th and Shields. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 He needs like two weeks on a roster to get the pension. I don't think he gets it, but then again most guys with his skillset never get a month (or any) big league pussy. So he did alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's that the "truth hurts," or that secure humans don't enjoy celebrating the failures of others? Next time I see somebody fail, I'll make sure to remind them of the harsh realities of the real world.

Buehrlesque Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Clearly wasn't in the plans anymore, but I liked Jacob May. I hope he catches on somewhere. Even if he doesn't, hey, at least he made it to the show, which is something guys Keenyn Walker, Courtney Hawkins and Jared Mitchell won't get to say.

Jake Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 2 hours ago, chitownsportsfan said: So like two weeks! I'd venture to guess that if he's willing to grind it out in AAA for the indefinite future, he might find himself in the right place at the right time to pick up those service days. The fact that he's at least a solid defensive CF who can run makes him a guy a team can rely on for a limited role when there's an injury.
