June 24, 20214 yr I edited the original post - the first link was for yesterday. Charlotte - Mike Wright Birmingham - John Parke Winston-Salem - Davis Martin Kannapolis - Jesus Valles
June 25, 20214 yr 26 minutes ago, runtheballdown said: Burger with a hit and two RBI. 915 ops, 31 FBI's, back at 3B with Matt Reynolds at second.

June 25, 20214 yr Just now, fathom said: Off Yardley, who’s a side arming RHP yup, it found a hole on the right side. just previous, sheets found the rcf gap with a liner off of him
June 25, 20214 yr and burger bobbles as he hard charges a grounder at third and it allows a run to score. wasn't an easy play
June 25, 20214 yr Ofreidy Gomez came in throwing 98 and promptly allowed the game to be tied. Top of the Knights order (Reynolds, Beckham, Sheets and Burger) have two on here in the top of the 7th, no outs, tied at 4
June 25, 20214 yr Reynolds just missed a homer, gave the Knights the lead. Sheets with a nice opposite field single to put the Knights up 7-4.
June 25, 20214 yr Burger with his third hit of the night, a single to left off of Hoby Milner, who's been unhittable in AAA
June 25, 20214 yr At this rate, I don't see how much longer they can reasonably keep Burger down while Yermin is swinging a pool noodle at the dish. Great to see Jake forcing the issue.
June 25, 20214 yr Boy oh boy that ump behind the plate is really bad at the Charlotte game. Catching it from both sides. At least he is not biased.

Basically I'm looking at his walks good to see he didnt give up any . 1 run in 1.1 innings . At least the ball was in the zone. Probably not where he wanted it in the zone but baby steps are good.

June 25, 20214 yr Burger (entering tonight) had some pretty extreme platoon splits, FWIW. VS RHP: .263/.302/.434 .736 OPS VS LHP: .362/.412/.894 1.305 (lol) OPS As a platoon option Burger can probably help right now, but I think expecting him to help vs RHP doesn't seem realistic to me.

Going to have to mix it up with Lamb/Collins/Goodwin...

Yeah those are drastic, so maybe a Sheets/Burger DH platoon with some mixing in at 2B/OF (if the Sox are feeling crazy) could work. If they want to give it some run before the deadline, Sheets has a nice line of .330/.367/.553 920 OPS vs RHP. I know AAA stats are what they are and they (obviously) aren't guarantees for MLB success, I just don't know how much longer Yermin can continue to be a black hole before something is done. To this point, Adam Eaton has been a better hitter since May (albeit in 56 less PAs) than Yermin, and Eaton can't hit LHP at all. It's not an ideal scenario, but it's something that could play to their strengths and possibly help the team out.

I really don't want to see Burger at 2nd base in the majors this year. I have a feeling that defense would be all time bad. Let him play DH/1B/3B. Give Moncada some breaks from the field to keep him fresh.

I'm fine with a guy like him hitting 7/8th against righties and then having him hit higher against lefties. It's not like he's been a black hole against righties down there.

June 25, 20214 yr Harvin Mendoza turning his season around after an awful start. He is hitting .356/.431/.511/.942 over his last 13 games. DJ Gladney started June hot but has since gone 0 for his last 21.

Great to see Jake forcing the issue. Who knew it would be Jake not Yermin who ends up being the story of Chicago by the time we get to the summer. I am a big believer in Burgers ability to hit and his mental fortitude to get to this point is super cool. I also think Yermin should be able to hit better than he is - so can't figure out how he got himself so mentally messed up.
