No chance in hell they bring him back

Keep calling that cutter. They might give up 20

I’m good never seeing him again in a Sox uniform. Not sure anyone has gone from enjoyable to unlikeable faster (including Timmy)

Crochet doing everything he can to tank his value. Awful outing for him.

Vargas and Lee back to back is torture for me.

My god his cutter sucks tonight

They have a solid chance due to a very easy schedule down the stretch

Amazing how sparse the crowd for this game is

Amazing pitch calling as well with all the cutters. Cubs are gonna murder the Sox these two games.

Just shut him down, it’s not like he’s been good lately. Add him to the list of clowns on this team.

I know I’m damaged by the Sox this year because every time I see that Zavala had a neg .4 WAR, I think “no way Sammy is that high with his awful hitting this year”

It just set the rebuild back even more that they got so little in return for Burger, Bummer, Santos and Mena. Doesn’t even matter much to me how they do with their new teams (except I want Burger to do well), but those were valuable assets they cashed in and came up empty. Just awful scouting once again by the Sox.

I agree with the 4 ceiling, and if he was the second piece in the trade, it would have been fine. He desperately needs to find a way to make his fastball more effective at this level.

Won’t argue on the defense, but he’s not a below average hitter. To be fair, might be last day to argue he is

But with Yoan on the team, how was Burger ever gonna find playing time?

Hell, look at how awesome Tyson Miller and Jorge Lopez have been in the pen for the Cubs. Meanwhile, we recycle Leone and Touki.

Burger was very good with the Marlins last year and he’s turned his season around the last few weeks.

The Sox aren't spending "right now"
Yep, it was well known I thought when KW and Hahn got fired

For a righty starter? Maybe Michael Wacha, who’s been nothing special in his career (one fWAR season over 3 in his career). Devin Williams has the best change up in baseball now, but he doesn’t have to face more than a few batters every game. I think it’s scary that the two teams that faced Thorpe a second time absolutely shelled him.

He’s the one guy I forgot but didn’t want to edit my post after others quoted it

To get fans to not focus on the part of the statement about not spending money.

How many guys that pitch like he does are upper rotation guys now? Hendricks from 8 years ago? He doesn’t have the movement on his fastball to combat the lack of velocity.
