No way, he’s got to keep getting MLB at bats. He can hit. And those porcelain dolls we have on the DL will probably be back on the list also 

He can't field though. Like at all. He's bad.

Excellent, some good batted ball luck

Good batted ball luck tonight to go with absolutely blistering it as well. Fun to see. 11 hard hits off of Berrios.

Burger needs to be a lot more selective in those situations.  Gets way too impatient and gets himself out.

Looks like one more inning from Lynn at 85 pitches now.

Burger has Eloy syndrome. Swings at too much bullshit, tons of power though.

I could live with McGuire catching the rest of the year if we could something really good for Yasmani and get out of that contract. He ain’t getting any younger and we have 10 DH’s on this team already. Same goes for Moncada. 

Nobody is trading for Grandal. The Yankees were probably the most catcher starved team to start the year and they've gotten better production out of Trevino and Higashioka so far.

He also plays defense like Eloy.

If and it’s always a BIG IF, LYNN was healthy since the beginning of the year we’d be 5 or 6 over 500 because we wouldn’t had to of played Russian Roulette with the 5th starters. But I’ll take him now for the rest of the year LOL

But then no Cueto to provide insurance for Lynn and Keuchel and VV.

And that wouldn’t be a 4 game swing.  Maybe 2?

 

With our RS/RA we should be closer to 10 games under .500 in reality.

They willingly gave up Sanchez to focus on defense…ironically, Sanchez has been pretty decent defensively for the Twins.

I have no idea why they kept drafting 1B/DH types. 

Vaughn looks like he's special so that's understandable.

That is legitimately nuts.

Jason's Len Kasper impression is spot on. 

Might want to get the bullpen up Tony.

He can improve. Look at Abreu as an example. He was replaced defensively a few years back, now he’s a gold glove caliber 1st baseman. Tongue in cheek as they say. He’s now an above average glove. We just need to get burger to average which is possible  remember, he had a lot of injuries and missed a lot of time his first couple of years in the minors. Give him time

He and Stony are full of it tonight. This is thoroughly entertaining.

Injures happen all the time. Never say never. 

Lance may be done. Take him out after Vlad AB

Really just Vaughn and Burger, and you're seeing why on Vaughn.

PS I’d never trade to the Yankees

Yeah, to be fair its hard to remember but there was a time it was believed Eloy could be at least a serviceable LF

Sheets? He was drafted the same year as Burger and was their 2nd pick.

It's more just that it's ended up being a confluence at the upper levels due to injuries and bad payroll allocation

How in the hell do you miss that call?  This umpire is atrocious

How is that not a strike? Holy fuck.
