yesterday333 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Makes sense. They probably saw what they wanted to from him (reports have been good) and decided no to push him coming back from an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 More tonight from Fegan on Burdi: "Burdi's goal for AFL was to get back on a normal work schedule, so this is a disappointing development, even if a strong spring training can render it moot." A fan asked, "Heard his velocity is way down. Reason to worry or more of him building it back up?" "It's been 93-95, so between that and running into fatigue, it's fair to be concerned." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it just seems premature for any amount of downside to me. The evidence says his arm cannot handle a typical workload right now, AND his velocity is down. So all I can conclude at this point is that his arm isn’t ready. Concern of any kind seems a year early, so reporting that “concern is fair” seems inaccurate to me and unnecessarily alarmist. I’m probably reading a negative tone that isn’t intended to be there 🤠🌮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insp Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 If this guy is fatigued at the minor league level, then he can't make it at the MLB level either. Cut this loser so we can focus on the players with promise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox1917 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) The guy is coming back from a serious injury. You all expect his arm to be in season ready shape right away? Edited November 2, 2018 by ChiSox1917 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably 50+ players between the ML roster and A ball that some segment of fans are following. Luckily we are still in the early rebuild and not counting on guys like Kopech and Burdi to be contributors next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s recovering from a major injury and everyone responds to injuries differently. Cutting Burdi would be such a terribly stupid thing to do. He still has a ton of promise and TJS is not a death sentence. Edited November 2, 2018 by bmags edited out curse 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only way you feel this way is just quirk of the calendar. Had he been injured at such a time that the start of his rehab was in march, and then in May we heard he was being shut down from fatigue and his velocity wasn't back, you would be concerned. Instead he started rehab in late July, was throwing in AZ in August, goes to AFL in September and has to get shut down. But because all of that was out of site of minor league ball and then the offseason, we can just brush it off. But the guy has been throwing competitively for months.

Let’s be honest here, anyone who is proposing we cut a former 1st round pick coming off an injury who doesn’t need to be added to the 40 man for another year and actually pitched well in the AFL despite lost velocity edit by mods: removed, let's cool the personal attacks Edited November 2, 2018 by bmags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but total lack of baseball knowledge and perspective. We just watched a World Series where Eovaldi was throwing 101 after 2 Tommy John surgeries. How much time did he miss ? How many set backs did he have ? How many times was he fatigued ? Are we going to hearing the same shit when Kopoch's return doesn't go in some linear ,orderly fashion to suit the internet Nazi's ?

Someone posted it in one of the future sox threads. People reacted positively but all he said was he looked good. He didn't say how hard he was throwing . I mean you can look good throwing 93-95. A lot of pitchers prove that. If he gets back most or all of his velocity eventually even better. Basically we've had posters worried that he's at 93-95 then comes the Longehagen chats that says he looked good without mentioning speed and posters take it positively.
