Takes me just as long to get to Yankees Stadium or Citi Field. Unless everyone thinks Indiana is gonna dump an astounding amount of capital into public transit, that's not gonna be the case for the Bears. They do have a train line that goes right through Hammond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the local I'll ask you: would any location be within very, very close walking distance of said train? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea where EXACTLY they are looking as of now. I will also mention that they are testing as we speak a southern Spur to the same line, depending on where they are looking. I will say if it is north, walking distance probably isn't further than you walk from a metra at 18th for current Soldier Field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with most pitch metrics when used without proper content is they leads you down the wrong lesson path. Burke raw stuff is solid, but he commands it so poorly, mainly by wasting a lot of non competitive pitches far out of the zone that he overcompensates by throwing strikes. His zone % is actually quite high (he throws a lot of strikes). Pair his inconsistent fastball velocity with poor command and you get into a situation where you throw a lot of avg fastballs down the middle of the plate to prevent a walk. He's throwing a lot of strikes but usually with fastballs behind in the count, which had a tendency to get hit hard. He's had individual games where his fastball sits at 97 and his swing strike rates on the curveball is absolutely elite. There's a lot to work with there, but poor command like this usually ends with a guy finding his way into the pen. wrong thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
