Buehrle>Wood

Well the results likely won't be any better than Shaw so not much to look at there

Meh. He's never pitched enough. May as well leave him out.

TA actually good form there. Got taken out by a wild swing.

Idk bloody robert fick was pretty great

I got summerslam with Brock Lesnar on one screen and this game on the other. Way more action in this one.

Lol this is great

Yeah if Andrus goes deep off you, time to hang it up

KAAAAAAABOOOOOM! BURGER WITH A PISS ROCKET!!!! ???

Billion dollar TV deals didn't exist in the 50s so not sure about that comparison.

Lol the Sox would never leave chicago

This is awesome by Kelly. Too bad we never saw any of it here.

On the flip side, the worst the Dodgers can scrounge up, is probably better than the best the Sox can scrounge up.

And now thinking Billie Eilish is a guy.

Lol Ozzie say Lars Nootbaar is a Lollapalooza act

Sheets goes the other way for 2 rbis

Sox cooking. 1-0

Sox +255 today. About as big as underdogs as they've ever been. Meanwhile first two on

Hey Trayce adds +1 to the likeable scale.

I don't remember wanting Bradley. Either way Benintendi and Bradley have out WAR'd Moncada and Kopech since the trade.

Yoan fans feeling sensitive today? Yeah I don't think the casual fan that has embraced Burger and loves home runs (rightfully so) gives a s%*# about Moncadas involvement here.

This team with very little power isn't going anywhere either, but yes that's more screaming into the front office void. If they actually had the opportunity to trade Eloy in lieu though (doubful or it would have been done), at least that would have made some directional sense.

And this is what I'm complaining about. Burger has 5 more seasons of control by my count. they want to retool on the fly, well that doesn't make sense as you're taking 40 hrs and a decent player off the team. If they want to rebuild, well he's got plenty of time left. The direction of this trade is completely nonsensical no matter how you want to spin it.

And more telling that people are hardly talking about the return. There's a section of this fanbase that liked the idea of trading Burger, and that's all there was to it. Just because they got something, anything, somehow means "selling high" when it's doubtful any one prospect will be as productive as Burger is this year. Hope that part is wrong though and we got a rotation mainstay.

I mean fantastic seems like a stretch. It seems at best what you would expect for Burger. Limitations aside, he will likely be a 2 war player with 5 years of control left. Dont think theres a reason to oversell it. The return seems fine but any one individual pitching prospect is going to struggle to be as valuable as Jake has been this season. You are trading for ceiling though. The direction of the trade is the much more concerning part for me regardless.
