maxjusttyped Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Can't imagine a worse on paper matchup for Burger than Houck. If he gets on-base here, I'll be very impressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was the ESPN broadcast recently that showed all that. I was impressed by the broadcast honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) I wonder if not showing the infielder positioning on the broadcast is because it would just give people another reason to rip the manager/team. You won't get many "good jobs" from good positioning. You will however get mercilessly ripped by fans and critics if they don't like the positioning. Imagine if the sox had that. Tony would get ripped even harder. Edited May 26, 2022 by ron883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wouldn't. I'd start approaching pitchers with extensions and if they're not interested they go bye bye. There are too many hitters having terrible seasons to buy at the deadline. They need to either stand pat or sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
