The Kids Can Play

Now TA has a new scapegoat to blame besides the media and fans. He can now blame Pedro!

You are correct. That's why we are the worst coached team for plate discipline as well as a bad bunch of dumb baseball IQ players.

Oh my bad! Good sarcasm joke then

Wow, now were going with If's and hypotheticals as opposed to facts. Great logic.

At least Jake can get some home runs with those swings, which most of the other slugs on this team can't do. Let's face it you are one of the peeps in here that are in the camp, I can't stand Jake having any success and I will always criticize him because any success he had is a fluke. Trust me, Jake Burger is not the reason this team is about to go 12 games under 500. But that's fine, keep pointing out Jake as the main reason for this horrible team's record.

Yeah like Robert, Eloy and TA don't have the same swings!

We did actually spend huge money to start the season on the bullpen and probably one of the highest payrolls for the bullpen.

When healthy? LOL

Wow, you can barely take watching Jake's at bats, but you are ok watching the other losers on this team swinging at pitches outside the zone. We are 30th in swing% outside the zone. We are 30th in least amount of pitches taken per AB. We are 30th in walks taken. Yeah you're right, I guess that's all Jake's fault we are 30th in most plate discipline stats.

No kidding he needs to work it out. However at good baseball teams the coaches help a slugging hitter with huge upside potential make those adjustments.

Yeah it is Grifol's fault. Hence why the good HR hitters in baseball bat 4th or 5th. I guess maybe you haven't seen the lineup cards of the successful winning teams with smart managers. Batting at 4th or 5th allows a hitter to see better pitches. It's called basic 101 baseball lineup logic.

Yeah probably best to just trade him right now! Totally worthless player! LOL! Since we have a horrible manager and hitting coach that will never work with him to correct these plate discipline mistakes, which can be corrected...then we might as well trade him. Then Jake will get the last laugh when he goes to a winning org where they actually have knowledge to coach and make adjustments for their players and make Jake an all-star.

Sad state of affairs when some people don't realize when the loser manager bats Burger 7th most of the season and doesn't use him effectively to hit higher in the order and take full advantage of his power. This would also greatly enhance him being able to see better pitches.

Situational hitting 101 class - Sox grade is F.

Make the deal! lol

That would be: "Rick vs Goliath!

I hope it happens! We would be killing two birds with one stone. Firing Pedro would be great and another major strike against Hahn since he was the knucklehead to hire such a worthless rookie manager. Maybe we could get Hahn also fired before the trade deadline!

In the last two weeks Jake has 5 HR's and 11 RBI's You need some players to run into one occasionally, as we are are very poor hitting team.

Seriously? Not too harsh! LOL 3 HR's in last three games and leads the team in SLG and OPS %. I wish this team had more players like Burger with so called magic being over.

Stop getting our hopes up! lol

Gio at 68 pitches thru 3 innings. We are the most inefficient starting staff in baseball for pitches thrown per inning and game.

No other team even close!

If he is and betting on the unders, then he is a rich man this year.

Ignorant and blind loyalty from Jerry!

Another Sox game with a starter who is throwing way too many pitches, Gio has 52 pitches though only 2 innings. When will this dysfunctional org. find pitching coaches or ex-great pitchers to come in as consultants and work with our starters to refine their basic mechanical and mental error flaws and incorrect approach?
