Burger is one of the few likeable and producing players on the team.. and management started him off in the minors.  Complete joke.

Agree.

Kelly might be in if he loses Robert. 

Robert swings at Ball 4 twice and ground out

Robert swung at ball 8

Key play in that inning was miss played ball at first which should have cut down runner at home... pitcher forgetting to cover assuming throw to home as well.

Was a Peralta infield single if Robert was only left handed lol. 

Already two Rays pitchers up in the pen. 

Kopech tipping slider again.

If we can't give Burger regular at bats when Moncada is back can we at least make him the defacto hitting coach? Teach these other guys to elevate...

Hell make him the de facto trainer after coming back from two torn achilles and staying relatively healthy since.

Katz was able to unlock Lucas, Cease and Rodon. Too early to say one way or another with Kopech (imo) but it's possible he just isn't that good.

Yeah Lucas is great ?

Kopech ERA still in mid 7s.

Painful and pitiful at bats way to often

Well considering he's now gone through 3-4 complete changes in mechanics since TJ in high school.

He was excellent for 3 seasons, bad last year, TBD for 2023. But Katz helping turn him from broken into a CY contender is/was a massive success.

rays made a panicked move going to their pen so early, let's make them pay.

Kopech regression is stunning last 2 years 

But not surprising.

 

I know Jack thought Kopech was Verlander.  What good times those were.

Lenyn sosa is not a mlb level player right now. His AB's are that of a guy over matched and overwhelmed 

He's got that Rick Sutcliffe thing where he cradles the ball behind his body... 

Good lord Eloy

Eloy's beyond clueless at the plate right now

What's funny is the second he strings 2 good games together in AAA people immediately want him as the every day 2nd basemen

I have never done a 180 on a player like Eloy. He went from my favorite to least favorite in the span of 18 months. Started with his clown antics in the net and have kept going and going.

Jimenez might be worse than Sosa... who can at least defend a position.

He was a good pitcher twice. He has sucked this year so far all together & stunk last year

Right now Eloy is one of the league's most useless players. Hits the ball on the ground too often, can't play defense, gets hurt too much, and can't run. He's a waste
