my god what a puke lineup.

Sandwiching moncada between two bums with no future here. I'm angry.

Your expertise is noted, but I'd think that medically Burger is in uncharted waters. Not many guys have torn their achilles twice before age 24. While I don't really believe in a lot of the "bad body" stuff around baseball (especially for a slugger) it's obvious in hindsight he was putting too much pressure on his body playing at that weight. And a lot of it was good weight, lean muscle. But his body couldn't handle it.

it's his achilles and he's now ruptured it twice. It's worse than an ACL, way worse. his heel problem is without a single doubt in my mind related to the achilles. when the body has to recover from an injury that bad it tends to get out of whack and put pressure on other areas that before were fine. he will continue to have a series of injuries coming back, even if his achilles holds up. that scouting video of him at 3B was widely viewed when he was drafted and was discussed largely at that time. the Sox were obviously drafting for need which was stupid. Burger was a reach. A reach to say at 3B and a reach at #7. as I said the day he re-tore I doubt he ever plays a single MLB game. In fact I doubt he even gets above AA. I bet in 5 years he's out of baseball. Jake's twitter is the opposite of Kopech's. Not much about working hard or inspirational quotes or focusing on baseball. That's fine, but as a fan I wonder if a guy that got a 3.5 million dollar bonus and has endured two years worth of rehab has lost the fire.

my memory is hazy but yea there were some absolutely awful rotations in the early aughts. I made the "what's james baldwin up to" joke yesterday for good reason. Those era teams are the last time I can remember a rotation this bad.

Yonder now tied with Starlin Castro for worst season in MLB, -1 fWAR. At least Castro is a fucking SS.

this is absurd.

osich looking nice.

unreal.

What a gun by Yolmer.

jesus again.

jesus the rangers are flashing the leather.

phew.

fuck did he get him?

Great relay and GREAT TAG COLLINS! WOW!

man it's going to be a long game.

they should extend the netting at the break. someone is going to die.

yikes.

make them hit their way on that's all I ask.

collins seems like an OK receiver so far.

yea but we don't.

Lynn is going to blow his arm out this inning dialing it up over and over.

electronics place.

The ball is juiced, lol, Yolmer!
