  1. Let's all have a nice chuckle before our Holiday weekend! Guys twitter didn't have inspirational internet quotes lol so he must not have been working hard. Social media has destroyed all rational thought.

  2. It would be easier for you to say "I was wrong and made many absurd comments about the personal life and mindset of Jake Burger" but instead you doubled down like the champ you are!

  3. Burger has to be one of the more impressive stories I've seen in my baseball viewing life. Burger hadn't played a professional game, before this year, since 2017. 2017!!! He was coming back from an injury that just 15-20 years ago was a career ender, and he suffered the injury twice! No one comes back twice. This year he hasn't just been good, he's been unbelievable in AAA. He even started a little slowly - likely due to the time off - but he now has a wRC+ of 150 through 185 PA's. He's been arguably the best hitter in AAA for the past month+, and he's done it with power and a reasonable k-rate. HIs bb rate could use a little growth, but he somehow found a way to turn the hitch in his swing into a load-timing mechanism that gets his hands to the zone quicker and keeps them in the zone longer - a pretty wild adjustment. For someone with as little experience as he has had over the past few years, his growth is amazing. You got to wonder where Burger would be developmentally if not for the injuries. I don't know if he'll succeed in the big leagues, but the performance he has had this year is nothing short of remarkable. Pretty crazy for a guy that was retiring because he attended a Bears v Packers game and posted those pictures to instagram.... lol

  4. Man, it's really pathetic to die on the hill of "Will someone please think of the process?" when someone had their skull cracked open and raped. Brain worms.

  7. Interesting what happens when you continue to give Vaughn playing time against righties. It’s almost like, he can improve?

  9. LaRussa doesn't decide to challenge, there's a team that looks at it in the video room and decides if it's worth challenging. Whoever we have back there is an idiot.

  12. I've only said that on about half a dozen posts. If you did more than just cntr-f for my posts and other "gotcha" moments on this forum you'd know that. You're a pest dude, all you do is troll. On topics you've personally been wrong about you never, ever offer any thoughts. On topics in which you personally don't have a beef with a poster (of which you have many, you know what they say about assholes in the morning and all day) you're usually nowhere to be found. You're a middle aged man, like myself, that has a career and other interests and yet unlike myself you seem to have the posting mentality of a 15 year old on reddit armed with a downvote and some circle jerk coins. Go read my posts on Burger. I was wrong. And if you know anything about my posting history here beyond your superficial, puerile harvesting for gotcha takes you'd have read my multiple posts not only saying I was wrong but that I am looking forward to personally apologizing to Jake when I see him on a MLB field. Honestly dude go fuck yourself you're such a worthless poster. You're the Soxtalk equivalent of Josh Donaldson.

  13. Like I said in the other thread, it looks like Yermin was starting to get it back, but the need for healthy position players was too much with the injured, plus the walking injured on this team. Need some people who can field a position.

  14. I think the more important thing to note here, is that we will have both Jace FRY and Jake BURGER on the team. In addition to Hamilton and Burr. Remember a couple years ago when they had all 3 outfielders with the last names Garcia? This organization is effing weird lol

  20. Feel free to quote any of my posts about Vaughn and tell me where I lied ? People keep lieing to me telling me I wanted him to be part of a weak side platoon. Search my posts see if you can find one that says that ? Come on back it up just don't tell me your opinion otherwise sit down and shut up.

  23. I don't care what the analytics say.. what Vaughn is doing in LF is nothing short of incredible this season. Never played OF in his life (till last season) and he's doing this.

  33. That is some weird shit to be saying if he said it ? I mean why would Hector Gomez be the 1st to quote this when we have Chicago writers all the time around TLR and Gomez is in the DR ? Edit: Thank you Rabbit. Gomez was reading a satire of TLR and took it to be real. This is the kind of shit that happens when there's too much TLR hate.

  34. One other item - but hopefully Yermin is playing a ton in the field and figuring out a way to diversify his game a bit. Even the ability to play 1st decently / be emergency catcher would help increase his odds in the long run.

  35. The most important part at this point though is - being healthy at the right time. If things work out, this team could have an August/September in full force - which would be massive heading into October. But you are right - in general - Championship teams need some luck on their side, especially in baseball. I've always said Basketball is the sport with the highest outcome where the best team actually wins.

  40. Whenever they move Cespedes up to AA, they should do the same for Yogurt. He’s 24 years old and has hit decent enough for a glove first guy to make the move.

  42. Better than being known as the guy who hates Vaughn when I actually don't . I'm still getting punked by someone who takes great pleasure in giving me laughing emojis on stuff I say. I'm pretty sure I know who it is but just watch I'll get like 2 laughing emoji's just for bringing it up again. But I'm fine with them . More points !

  43. Vaughn is not a finished product. He is a just turned 23-year old that hadn't had an at bat above A ball prior to this season. What he is now is not what he is going to be, and people pigeon-holing him into a platoon role now and into the future are comical. Hitting MLB pitching is extremely difficult, and he's learning. He's going to be a cornerstone of this offensive with Eloy, Luis, Yoan and Nick for the foreseeable future.

  44. Big fish I'd like to see the Sox target: Nelson Cruz, Craig Kimbrel, Kris Bryant, Bryan Reynolds, Adam Frazier, Starling Marte, Ketel Marte, Nick Castellanos, Joey Gallo
