Jake Burger in the "best COD shape of his life" looking to add a burrito microwaving game to his NEET repertoire after earlier mastering pissing in a Dew bottle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Rodon also tried to use his injury as a reason for starting. He essentially says how can you move q starting pitcher who is hurt, into the more demanding bullpen? Dude is not gonna be happy when he slots into the bullpen as our Josh Hader. Unless of course, if Gio2 and Lopez both bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'd ever be able to drop $200 there on a casual Scottsdale business lunch. Rare treat for us middle class folks. The crowds can be a bit much, especially later in spring. That said, they do a pretty great job with the crowds at most of the facilities. Talking Stick in particular had one of the most organized parking areas (in what is essentially empty desert) I've ever encountered. Good to see the guys back in action and laughing it up. You guys that are going have a blast down there and post plenty of pics. I am actually in Florida so I can see many teams but not the White Sox.

Let's hope for a little better health going forward. All pitchers are an injury risk FFS having three of your best 5 guys org wise go down with TJ in the span of a year is pretty unlucky.

The Lambert one sucks the most, because he was really putting it together and he was already an advanced age. He could have been big league ready by this year at some point. He'll be 26ish when he returns fully healthy and I still like his ceiling, but it was a real bummer to see him go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fell off a little as the year went on, but that could have easily been tied to his injury. his stuff was electric. Stiever and him saw about as big of an increase in raw stuff YOY as you'll find in baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said before that there are a lot of players who have no desire to use analytics because their entire lives they've done this game on comfort, feel and reaction. It appears Andrew Vaughn is one of those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
