How about a 30-yard dash between Vaughn and Cabrerra?

This is where managers get really dumb. My starter has to go 5 innings.......

Saw that. Gave him a couple of earned runs.

Been wondering the same thing.

Putting Burger at second is another example of self-destruction.

Oh, stop the music. Give him a day off? Okay, okay.

I'd like to put Burger and Zunino in the same room and let them talk about hitting.

Timmy U, so it looks like Sox have two, count 'em two, genuine young outfield prospects in Wilfred Veras and Jacob Burke, neither of whom were on anyone's radar a year ago. Thanks for your comments on them both the last few days.

Uh, he probably won't take your offer.

Burdi got tattooed last night. Tampa gave up 20 runs, 5 by Burdi in one inning.

Jacob Burke keeps hitting for Kanny.

Okay, then it's the Golden Sombrero.

Is that called the Golden Sombrero?

Vaughn needs a few days off.

It was an 0 and 2 waste pitch.

Burger is seeking and found his own level, He got a few hits, and posters here thought he could actually hit. He is the second coming of somebody, not sure who. Cass Michaels comes to mind.

No. It was the river.

I thought for sure that Vaughn would have a solid season. Sort of .280ish BA, OPS around .850 or so. Still attainable. One thing I have noticed is that he seems to get a lot of really shitty calls from Home Plate umpires. He'll get better.

Wow, that didn't take long.

I wish I knew more about Wilfred Veras, other than his stat line.

Non drafted free agent.

Cubbies imploded in 8th and 9th innings vs Twins. Tough loss.

I looked it up. Jesse Jefferson. Circa 1975-1976.

Good question. I remember we had a pitcher 30 or so years ago who was done, and he just would not throw the ball. He just stood there until Mgr. came out. Can't remember the name. Jesse somebody. "You can't hit it if I don't pitch it."
