Jake Burger went 3-for-4 with three RBI on Thursday in the Marlins’ Opening Day loss to the Pirates. Figures.

I never thought he would immediately throw 6 innings on 87 pitches. Impressive. But this single start also may show how stupid the Sox were to make him a reliever right out of the gate.

It’s like the movie “Major League” but signing all the rejects for more money than they are worth instead of acquiring them cheaply. I had to mute the TV after Stone called Maldonado a “wizard defensively” behind the plate.

Does Getz have a brother? I’m convinced Harold is related to him at this point.

They shouldn’t have even been signed to one-year contracts. They are bad bench players starting for a major league baseball team. They wouldn’t be starting for any other team in baseball. It’s an embarrassment. Should Getz be applauded for only overpaying them for one year to be starters?

He did a great job acquiring the bottom half of the lineup though.

Good point. Morons.

Grifail’s corpseball.

33,420 fans duped into attending this shitshow.

Some nice hacktastic swings for the fences there.

I just heard this. Schriffen and Stoney sharing a fat blunt in the booth apparently.

Post of the Day. Congrats! ?

A going away gift of ? from a terrible GM that stayed employed for far too long.

Benintendi, still awful, and why to you let him face a lefty?!?

It was always going to be a company man regardless of who was hired after Benetti had the gusto to think he could do any other jobs but for the White Sox.

The name of the game is pitching well, playing defense, and scoring no runs.

“HEY NOW!!!”

It’s going to be ugly all season. At what point will the good starters go apeshit without any run support?

Nicky with the light tower power, haha. Go take some laps for hitting it in the air Nicky.

Bottom half of the order as putrid as expected.

It’s probably way more on Jerry than Getz. He wanted to cut payroll a ton and it was probably agreed upon with Getz even before his promotion. There’s a reason Jerry telegraphed and hyped up a bum like David Eckstein as his favorite player during the Getz press conference, and that’s exactly the type of players Getz acquired (DeJong, Lopez).

Amazing start by Crochet and that he went 6 innings and 87 pitches. No surprise that this offense is as putrid as most smart fans anticipated and that Kopech can’t throw strikes to save his life whether he’s a starter or reliever.

Tim Anderson’s bounce-back was the most obvious thing ever and he is going to far outperform DeJong.

“Feel the excitement” ?

I did the payroll math a few days ago and came up with the same as you. They went from $181 million opening day payroll last year to $126 million opening day payroll this year. Dropped $55 million. Crazy. Getz is going to get a nice Christmas bonus from Jerry at the end of the year.
