Amazing how tight that race is with so many twists and turns already...two more weeks to go. Not to mention Marlins without Alcantara and Robertson lost the closer's job too.

Not to mention Marlins without Alcantara and Robertson lost the closer's job too. Whats amazing to me is when I reread the tradewinds thread is that so many people considered Burger a DH or 1st baseman. It just goes to show you how damaging early negative results are. It didn't even matter to people that he had played a decent if not good 3rd base with the Sox. Every little dribbler he couldnt make a play on or every hard hit ball that got by him just reinforced those thoughts . It's why we always have to remember that development isn't linear. There are so many examples of poor hitters and poor fielders getting better that we as fans fall into a trap of thinking players are worthless and overvaluing guys like Eder without checking their full body of work going back as far as you can. Sure Burger has a bad injury history but Ng needed a guy who could hit HR's and probably saw enough and heard enough from her talent evaluators that he could play a serviceable 3rd base and hit the ball really hard when he did hit it. So far with the Marlins that has paid dividends and he's making more contact. How well he holds up and manages to reproduce the results with the Marlins is anyone's guess but so far so good and people keep waiting for the other shoe to drop like with Rodon. The Sox didn't even think Rodon was worth a draft pick and he ended up with a great year with the Giants. Not so much after that . Giants must have sent a thank you gift to Hahn for that. Thanks for helping us out there Rick and Jerry for not costing us a draft pick I'm sure your farm system is overloaded with studs !

caulfield12 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 (edited) 33/75 837 ops Ahe rate he's going, he might even catch Robert in OPS and he actually wants to play baseball every single day, too. Genuinely seems to enjoy being part of a playoff push and is responding to the opportunity well. Heart and character traits the Sox are less familiar with since they aren't measurable. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/716546/play/69 Exit Velocity 111 mph Distance 446 ft Launch Angle 20 deg Edited September 17 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are an underdog to make it to the post season. I'm glad he was traded so I don't have to tempt myself watching the shitty White Sox.

caulfield12 Posted Thursday at 12:15 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:15 AM Looks like he just made his 9th error at third and also got pulled from the game for Edwards/Berti combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted Thursday at 02:54 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:54 AM Dealing with quad tightness Burger left Wednesday's game against the Mets early due to right quad tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Advice: Burger was pulled after making an error on a throw home during the third inning. No details regarding the severity of Burger's injury were provided, but with an extra day between games for Miami, there's a chance Burger returns without missing any time.
