As a Sox fan, you’ve got to take the bad with the good.
One day, Adam Engel is walloping homers and making a bid for the cycle. The next day, he’s straining his hamstring. C’est la guerre.
Engel has been a highlight-reel hero for the Sox in past seasons, making some awe-inspiring leaps at the outfield fence. During the rebuild, those moments stood out, alongside Daniel Palka’s rookie year sluggerfest. They were something to tide us over, like Olive Garden breadsticks, before the promised hype of the future arrived. And, like Olive Garden breadsticks, they often ended up being the highlight of your meal.
