username Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Seems like a good dude, easy to root for. The early results have been really encouraging, especially the low K-rate. Also who knew he had some wheels? An infield hit and a triple in the same game! Edited July 21, 2017 by Username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Love this. "We have the best farm system in baseball," Burger said. "It's awesome.very team, you get to play with big-time prospects and big-time players. It's been a fun ride. Blake's a great guy. It was fun hitting behind him. We actually have lockers right next to each other, so I've gotten to know him. It's been fun. I grew up a White Sox fan, so I'm probably more stoked than I probably should be, but it's been awesome."

Rowand44 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The k rate is just the sexiest thing I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoxfan Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 He's a fun player and prospect. He doesn't necessarily fit the "mold", but that's what's so fun. He does his own thing and is successful. Look forward to seeing his career progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Did anyone notice that he is choking up, in that photo? Does he do that, even if only when down in the count? Edited July 21, 2017 by Lillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know but it's weird they still have Remillard too. Going to be days he sits for Him until they clear that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Great story. Jake sounds like a winner to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 good and promising start by jake. some people might have thought that his not so pretty swing could lead to some contact issues but the low K rate is very encouraging. of course it is low level pitching and as an advanced college hitter he should do well at the level but I think so far he has exceeded expectations.
