Burger for hitting coach. "Listen fellas, this is how to hit HR's."

No and wasn't expected to. 19th round pick from NU. He was injured a lot in 2022 originally a 2nd basement More info here: https://www.southsidesox.com/2023/2/20/23607955/south-side-sox-white-sox-top-prospect-no-64-shawn-goosenberg He's off to a good start but only 23 ABs so time will tell if he has picked up his game a lot .

That would be great for his Achilles tendons. Paging Greg !

Winston Salem's 3-6 in the lineup Gladney, Veras, Kath and Goosenberg went 12/23 ,3 doubles 2 HR and 9 RBI. Goose stole a base and the box score says it was his 5th? Seems like a lot for a 1st Baseman.

Probably have to pick a Chicago Band like Styx singing Light Up (Everybody) And Just so I can join this century. The Pretender Foo Fighter right when Grohl starts singing.

I think you are the only one who mentioned it, twice. But I have mentioned LF in the past just so it would be good for his career to learn another position though. Figured couldn't hurt to learn it in the minors but not up here.

Great starting pitching, good BP, good defense, a timely HR. Who knew that could work ?

2007 Buerhle had a no no on 4/18

Nah I make those kind of comments in the off season. Don't think I've ever brought up his name. Outman, Varsho, some other Az. OF's. Can't remember them all. Pretty sure I mentioned Kelenic in at least 1 post this off season as someone who would be worth looking into.

Falter is not a good name for a pitcher.

Burger becomes Filet Mignon against LHP.

Does it make much difference ? Probably just because when he has played OF either in ST or regular season so far this year it's been RF ? Not sure if that's correct though. Feels like it is.

Didn't seem to bother him much the 2nd half last year but something has to jump start him.

The thing about Eloy is he could get so hot that he could pass Robert for the team HR lead in 10 days.

Probably trying to break him out of his funk although swinging at pitches off the plate inside a lot less would help more. More likely to help him break back onto the IL.

You're not building for the future right now .Have to get the present fixed if possible. I've wanted to get younger guys the last couple of off seasons.Instead we got Kimbrel, Pollock,Harrison, Andrus, Diekman, Kelly, 1st basemen in the OF, an over the hill manage , more injuries than you find in a nursing home, an owner who won't fire anyone and a bunch of FO people deserving of being fired.

Has Colome pitched yet for Charlotte ?

A very sound post . You seemed to have learned a lot about baseball or actually apply life lessons and common sense to this subject. Winning and losing colors our perspective on managerial performance. No one here is out there making a list of his alleged mistakes siting score, situation,BP usage etc. Every Day correct decisions are easily discarded but bad play by at the wrong time by the wrong player is magnified tenfold. It's like half the responses to Sheets starting in LF questioned that decision but Sheets drives in. 3 runs and has 2 hits. If he goes 0-4 and makes an error leading to runs scored he's an idiot. Sox win he's a genius. You call out these fans for not thinking beyond the end of their noses and you're a smug know it all. You make some predictions to back up your supposed smugness which no one else would ever do. Your prediction comes through 100 % and you are an even bigger dick if you point this out because you are tooting your own horn but God forbid you make a post singling out all the people who were wrong if they were the ones making that managerial decision. No one likes being wrong. No one likes if you point out that there are legit reasons these decisions are made because teams have all kinds of info fans don't. That's not to say some managerial decisions aren't mind boggling but most of the minds can't see beyond their own frustration and need to place blame on the most convenient target. Yes Grifol didn't come from a great organization. Yes that same organization that people are putting down as a loser organization suddenly must have made a winning choice by not hiring Grifol.

Yea it's farcical hearing he can't manage the pen when he doesn't have a pen, Who even has done well out of the pen? Outside of Lambert there's no one. Can't DFA them all. There's worse in AAA.

Just to expand on this 9 HR's for the starting 9 in 450 AB. 8 from the backups in 118 AB.

9 HR from our starting position players and 8 for the backups.

ANd 0 HR from 5 of the starting position players,Anderson, Vaughn, Eloy, Benintendi and Andrus.

There's time especially with Santos throwing in the pen.

Not sure it's Katz. Grifol has pushed guys beyond limits when the BP is taxed.

Whew . Brand new game now.
