Chimpton Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Does this mean Hahn won't be selling anyone at the trade deadline now that the second half surge has begun and they are only 8.5 games back? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Burger. Stick Moncada at second if he has to play. Burgers OPS is the same as a guy with an injured back isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement. The fact remains that this site swoons every time Burger hits a home run and turns their cheek when he goes an entire month without a hit.

vilehoopster Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 He said, “Burger’s OPS during his awful slump”. That’s a big difference. Burger at his worst still brings a better bat than Moncada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada might not be the answer but that doesn’t mean Burger is I don’t think anybody said Burger was the answer, just better than Moncada. Also Burger has 21 home runs this year. Moncada has 29 for the last three years combined. Burger > Moncada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time he goes a month striking out twice a game, crickets.

Timmy U Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Before we get too excited that this club has turned the corner keep in mind they were one pitch away from losing on Saturday and Sunday's starter, Koby Allard, just went on the 60 day IL. So they can pummel injured pitchers. Unfortunately, the Mets and Twins aren't that good either. I hope to God they are not dumb enough to keep this team together if they happen to have one decent road trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asked a simple question about a basic feature that used to exist and now is inexplicably disabled for some users. If you don't have an answer you don't have an answer. Sorry to ask the question.
