TLR tomorrow (Probably): "We're going to give Yoan today off, to keep him rested for the season."

Fuck TLR…….just said defense is NOT the reason Sox lost……retire tonight

Worst manager in baseball and it's not even remotely close.

We lose cause Yoan couldn't field a routine grounder. They win cause Ramirez made a diving play to save the game. They straight up look better than us.

Maybe it’s why you don’t keep around the same shitty Front Office that caused you to have to rebuild.

I truly can speak for the entire board when I say absolutely no one gives a FUCK about you or your dynasty teams

by the way, this loss is on Anderson and Moncada lollygagging in the 9th

I want to make it clear I'm not dogging Sheets for the error, s*** happens. I'm dogging TLR for putting him out there at all. He isn't an outfielder. He is a prototypical first basemen and or DH.

Yoan Moncada ISO - 148 Jake Burger ISO - 113 Yoan Moncada slug - 412 Jake Burger slug - 352 Yoan Moncada OBP - 375 Jake Burger OBO - 276 If you honestly think Jake Burger has been a better hitter this year than Yoan was last year you should stop watching baseball.

During the winning streak, Leury is: 6/15 with 1 2B, 3 RBI's, 1 run scored. In May, Leury has a 982 OPS. I hate Leury, but every point you have made is wrong.

"Burger is better than Moncada or Harrison and that's a fact. They need to get him in the lineup everyday" "All you have to do is watch the games to know I'm right. Moncada was not good last season and he was even worse in ST. A .260 avg with 14 HRs for Moncada last season. Burger gets to that before the All-Star break if playing everyday." Yet I am the illiterate one?

Baseball's a dumb sport for dumb people and I hate it. See you all tomorrow at 7.

He’s the wrong manager for any team.

8 years?!?! 8 YEARS???!?!?!?! Over the last 100 years, the Sox have won three Playoff Series. They all happened in 2005. They didn't make the playoffs in 2001-2002-2003-2004-2006-2007-2009. So it's sort of safe to say that 2005 team had a giant horseshoe up their collective ass. This franchise has had an embarrassing century.

How about 0-6 Abreu

Can't be any more clear, they 100% deserved to lose this game.

Silver lining, maybe Pollock is getting into a groove.

Anderson on pace for 54 errors now.

Matt Foster becoming the 8th inning guy in the most expensive bullpen of all-time would be hilarious

It's been a week since it's had to display anything above 4.

Looks like I missed another great contribution by Sheets. This organization is so dumb.

No, that would be Rafael Devers with 22. And just about every good 3B in baseball had a similar amount of errors. Moncada had 16, Ramirez had 15, Donaldson had 13, Machado had 13, and even Arenado had 11. It's almost like errors aren't the best way to judge a player's defensive ability.

LOL Moncada had a 122 wRC+ last season. Burger's wRC+ was 87 this year. Moncada was 35% better offensively last year than Burger has been this year.

What’s wrong with this? Every manager in baseball would do this.

"Miss me yet?" Burger

Wow look you don't swing at everything and you're in a 3-1 count

And crappy fielding

Dude, it’s early May

Grandal behind the plate, Engel in RF, Sheets DHing and none of us are complaining. It'd also be 4-0 right now if that was tonight's lineup.

Welcome back Yoyo. God it feels good to have a 3B that soaks up everything over there.

Too early to pull him for defense?

Sheets is awesome!

Yoan will be off tomorrow with a bruise

Adam Engel is the best option.

Where’s the crowd that said that we didn’t need a real RF and Sheets was fine in RF?

If you were wondering... Grandal and McGuire have nearly identical framing numbers according to Baseball Savant, but both are good. McGuire has one passed ball and 9 wild pitches in 126 innings. Grandal has two passed balls and 6 wild pitches in 114 innings. Grandal has yet to catch a base stealer. McGuire has caught 3 base stealers. Would be interesting to see the FIPs of the pitchers they receive, but not sure how to get that stat.

It's about roster management. Jake Burger can play a passable 3B and 1B. We have like 10 guys on the roster who can play 1st. No room there. Jake Burger is also right handed in a roster full of right handers. Yoan Moncada is the White Sox starting 3B, and the best 3B on the roster offensively, defensively, singingly, and sexily. Yoan is better than Jake Burger in every facet of the game except fairy tail story. Any argument otherwise is trash both figuratively and on any fact basis. Leury plays every position except catcher. Same with Harrison. They both even play 3B defensively as good, or probably better than Burger does. They can also contribute at 2nd, SS, and in the OF defensively. Burger does none of those. Danny Mendick has a gold glove nomination at 2B. They were afraid to let Burger even play 2nd. Mendick can also fill in at SS, and in the OF in a pinch. Again, not Burger. Heck Danny Mendick has put up about 100 higher OPS points or a 112 + number, vs Burgers 87. Gavin Sheets has shown an ability to stand in the OF. Burger has not. Gavin Sheets can provide left handed power. Jake Burger cannot. When you make up a bench, you want to make sure that the guys you have on it do somethings that compliment the rest of your roster. If Jake Burger isn't hitting, which he hasn't since the Slider train showed up, he brings no value to the bench.

You fail to see how Austin Hedges playing in the NL West a couple of years ago is relevant? Lol, what the hell is wrong with you?

Not just 35% better, but 35 percentage points better. He is about 50% better.

Polar Bear is a troll.

Moncada hasn't done anything yet so ill still stand by it. Burger so far this season has been better than Moncada as a hitter last season. Moncada better start hot and stay hot

lol wuhhht? On the winning streak Jake Burger has 2 RBI's and one run scored while hitting 191 with a 333 OBP. He has zero XBH's in that span with his slugging % being the same as hig average. Maybe you the one who hasn't been watching? I like Burger, but he needs more at bats in AAA; he's just lost so many reps the past few years it's hard to learn at the big league level. He's not Vaughn.

You did. Scroll up.

Lol, ahhhh yes - the Jake Burger is clearly superior to Yoan Moncada conversation. Good times.

Think how little the Mets must think of his ability if they are willing to pay him $44 million to sit on a couch or potentially play against them.

Its 5 times, but don't believe April counted with expanded rosters. So Mendick should still be at 0. I think they just want Jake to play everyday.

Only swung once and put into play on 3-0 all season. Converts to a walk or 3-1 then proceeds. 3-0 caleld strike is now 3-1, then maybe 3-2 This diagram shows the count at which time the at-bat ends.

The title is a joke.
