Eduardo Escobar not in starting lineup. Gallo too. Take it for what you want. also Donaldson left the game with a hamstring issue. Shame.

Yep

Tim hit the ball well yesterday, too. Hopefully he’s turning a corner.

Yeah he has options.

Jake lamb looks mildly concerned sitting beside sheets/burger.

Cleveland has bases loaded. 2 out. 6-3 game.

Let fry get the 9th

That has to be looked at.

What a break

Haha same ball he caught

Collins is bad back there.

greg

We should have more than 3 runs. Hopefully doesn’t bite us.

His knee prob isn’t 100%

Yeah at first I thought he messed his shoulder up and my heart sank.

Stone with the sideswipe against MIN pitching.

Lol nice swing

all the lefties are crushing it

As my old man says, don’t get in a pissing match with a skunk.

I’m inclined to believe the truth is somewhere in the middle of what Rick and Joshua are claiming. If someone could make notes of Ozzie on the pregame it would be appreciated.

Burger was talked about on FG’s Daily Prospect Notes: Notes A rare “two guys from the same org” appearance in DPN was necessitated by Burger’s fantastic night. I did film analysis of Burger this morning, with a focus on his defense at second base. He hasn’t had a ton of opportunities there since he’s only played four games. He clearly has well-below average range but he can make routine plays and has been fine working around the second base bag turning tailor made double plays. Burger will also occasionally make spectacular, high-effort plays at third base but his footwork on defense is hampered by his lack of athleticism. When he can set himself and uncork a strong throw, his arm is above-average. Offensively, he’s a bit of a free swinger and is especially apt to swing over top of breaking balls down and away from him, but the hit/power combination here is still going to allow for some kind of big league role. Burger’s story is one of incredible perseverance and he also seems like a funny, affable guy who you want in your clubhouse. The White Sox still have a glut of relatively positionless bats that puts a lot of pressure on the health of Leury García, the only player who provides real defensive flexibility on their roster. Teams should be primed to pilfer one from Chicago if injury befalls one of Chicago’s up-the-middle players forcing them to make a move, but I don’t know if Burger can be had at this point because he’s playing so well. They have notes for Cespedes as well for those interested.

Well he won’t be starting a rehab assignment Monday.

Used to work in the industry and stayed in touch with a few people.
