I am hoping they come back in one of these next innings and say it is being played under protest, but yes I am surprised we have not been informed of that yet. I have seen managers protest games in situations far less likely to succeed than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazier is way less valuable if he is moved to RF next year, and I am trying to think of this as a 3 year window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 4 minutes ago, Baron said: Probably not. But I would have zero remorse trading any of these guys. That includes Sheets. Yeah cool stories. Don't care I want better players. Yeah, I like Burger and Sheets, but both are extraneous on this team. They need better players now for the playoffs. For the right player(s), I’d happily trade either or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada’s boneheaded play is just part of a shitty game. Pinch hitting Burger against Burnes was also a boneheaded move, as we know he can’t hit the slider or cutter. Would have preferred the more veteran Engel or even Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to watch the games, not just look at stats to evaluate these young players. Now Burger...he is looking like Yermin during his precipitous decline.

chw42 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I don't think Jose realized he had 3 balls on him. That explains why he swung at those cutters way out of the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah, we could get the best lineup possible and still lose. Ask the Dodgers. This team should have a 3 year run before Giolito is gone. Yea, Rodon is gone, but Kopech replaces him. Lynn is here through 23. We can’t sell out for everything this season if it hurts the next 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how selling two players that don't really have a spot on this team as hurting season 2 or 3. Burger is never going to replace Yoan at 3rd base.
