Quero pushing strikes into balls…that was they key hitter, #3 in the inning.

There’s the game again in all likelihood.  Early knockouts.

 

38 rbi’s for Crow-Armstrong.

Burke not great at holding runners, either.

He was crossed up.

I just don't see the upside with Burke. He has a good rising fastball, but the velo isn't very good which limits how much he can get out of it. None of his other pitches have either a good shape or get good results (his curveball is a big breaker, but it seems a good curveball doesn't get you anywhere these days). On top of that, he has zero command. So what's the point? Normally a guy who is so strike-challenged has something else going for him besides he's got a pitcher's body and has "mound presence."

Yup, some Billy Beane type scouting. He stinks.

I'll admit the only thing that keeps me from constant ranting and raving about it is that I don't have a promising suggestion for who should be taking his job
