Get his pitch count up to 40 by the end of the inning.

Trying to hit homers on 2 strike breaking balls

Gonna have to bunt get him to move off the mound...

This is also a byproduct of not being able to hit s%*# stuff guys like Griffin and Armstrong

They gotta make Williams throw a lot more pitched for Burke to keep up

Need to stop swinging at balls out of the zone.

This is Nolan Ryan?

Fastball backed up by that nasty curve, very similar

Unfortunately this is what I expected from the offense early on. Have to keep putting up zeros Burke.

Wow. If he’s gonna bring stuff like this every inning, tip o’ the cap

Outside of ant don't feel like anyone is even capable of putting a ball in play today. This is so sad and depressing.

Seems like Williams got good stuff tonight but on the flip side the approaches are terrible

Ant at least putting the ball in play, the other guys are just pathetic

Wake the f*** up and battle

They can’t touch this dude.

Watching us swing and miss at that off speed over and over is maddening.

Williams found the knuckle curve that inning. If he has both that and the sweeper we have no real shot. Doyle got a few middle middle pitches and could only foul them off.

Williams is filthy tonight. Throwing everything for strikes.

Williams is on tonight, need Burke to match.

Cleveland would pull a stunt like that

Game is in the hands of the umpires.

Yes, let's fire the best hitting coach we've had since Greg Walker.

What about all the Ks, undisciplined swings, not going the other way when needed,impatient at bats? Can that not be helped with a more efficient hitting coach?

That isn't how hitting is taught now a days. We have wanted a hitting coach like Schauman. We have one and now people complain.

Burke looks awesome, as I've said in this thread. He's not as filthy as Williams though.

No walks. Don't walk stifs

First 3 ball count
