Look at Ray Ray Run

Goodwin >> Eaton

Hes been well worth his contract. This happens to all pitch to contact starters from time to time

That doesn't mean he should make a bad play?

He took a bad angle on a dive. You can take the risk there and smother the ball.

Good day for a ballgame. Crede said vaughn will pick up Billy there!

You won't see me make personal judgements, critiques and assumption about an athlete that I do not know and ridicule them so we don't really have similar situations of being wrong. You try to psychoanalyze players and their drive/effort. That's not my jam. Weird flex here though, if you can't laugh at yourself then what can you laugh at? Have a great holiday weekend, buddy!

yup, he was at least a pretty polished hitter in college though so he did have that going for him, but pretty wild. Hard to work on your swing as much without your legs being available to you for a while too.

Let's all have a nice chuckle before our Holiday weekend! Guys twitter didn't have inspirational internet quotes lol so he must not have been working hard. Social media has destroyed all rational thought.

It would be easier for you to say "I was wrong and made many absurd comments about the personal life and mindset of Jake Burger" but instead you doubled down like the champ you are!

Thanks, BOB!

There was no news last night, unless I missed it.

Burger has to be one of the more impressive stories I've seen in my baseball viewing life. Burger hadn't played a professional game, before this year, since 2017. 2017!!! He was coming back from an injury that just 15-20 years ago was a career ender, and he suffered the injury twice! No one comes back twice. This year he hasn't just been good, he's been unbelievable in AAA. He even started a little slowly - likely due to the time off - but he now has a wRC+ of 150 through 185 PA's. He's been arguably the best hitter in AAA for the past month+, and he's done it with power and a reasonable k-rate. HIs bb rate could use a little growth, but he somehow found a way to turn the hitch in his swing into a load-timing mechanism that gets his hands to the zone quicker and keeps them in the zone longer - a pretty wild adjustment. For someone with as little experience as he has had over the past few years, his growth is amazing. You got to wonder where Burger would be developmentally if not for the injuries. I don't know if he'll succeed in the big leagues, but the performance he has had this year is nothing short of remarkable. Pretty crazy for a guy that was retiring because he attended a Bears v Packers game and posted those pictures to instagram.... lol

Or the Sox are just trolling him, which would be weird.

He literally hit the ball off the absolute end of the bat.

Calisox is fuming.

Vaughn will never hit righties and should be demoted.

y shouldnt people who cheated be called out? I dont get it.

I'm not saying he should have fought anyone, relax. Giolito told the guy to come say it to his face and he's claiming he did and Giolito was speechless. I agree Giolito shouldn't be getting in a fist fight with Donaldson. This is highly entertaining and I'm here for it!

I mean, Rick wasn't there either.

I wish more things in sports were out in the open like this. This is gold!

giolito was clearly using something to help him get more spin, not sure why that isn't fair game.

?i love this shit.

I've got no beef with anything Donaldson did. If pitchers were skirting the rules they deserve some ridicule. I'm a sox fan though so fuck Donaldson in general.

Donaldson is a nut job and a show boater, but Giolito literally asked him to come say it to his face and Donaldson decided to further cement his absurd lunacy by doing exactly that. Whole thing was a clusterfuck.

Damn, Donaldson kind of punked Gio lol.
