Burnes continues to impress as a reliever. It's night and day.
-
It gets annoying how they will never call intentionally leaning into a pitch. I feel like that's every couple games at this point. That is one case where with 95mph gas from Hader..Rizzo would might not have been so happy to stick his elbow into it. Good point, I doubt anyone cares about getting hit by a Claudio pitch.

There is actually a rule on the books where they do have to make an effort to get out of the way to be awarded the base, but it's obviously never actually enforced, like a lane violation in the NBA.

Claudio had one job and he does that.
-
Shaw is just unplayable right now. I'm to the point where I'm ready to go let him figure it out in AAA.
-
Unbelievable how you let him score on that.
-
This is getting ridiculous.
-
Can we maybe have one inning that we don't kill with a double play?

It doesn't bother me at all when athletes put a price on themselves and stick to it. If they choose not to play for the price they want, that's totally their choice and I don't begrudge them for that choice or call them greedy for it. Relating a rich athlete or rich star of any kind to an average person, the only time it becomes a bit eye rolling for me is when they start throwing around phrases like "can't feed my family" or "slave mentality". Anyone with a net worth of even $5M dollars has the option to live a modest life and never work again. If they choose to live above those means, that's totally their choice, but I certainly don't feel bad for the ones who manage to squander it all and end up as average persons themselves. On that note, I wish all professional sports leagues were offering education on personal finance management and placing a heavy emphasis on it.

I don't think it's fluid right now and I don't see Burnes going back to the rotation in 2019. It's a catch-22 for this season. If he pitches well, he's too valuable to lose from the pen. If he doesn't pitch well, he's going to San Antonio to work on things. Burnes' future still may be as a starter but given how bad he was in that role so far, you just don't see contending teams go back into experimentation mode in the middle of the season if things are going well. If he was a Miami Marlin, he'd be starting. I think it would take multiple starter injuries for Burnes to find his way back into the rotation before next season.
-
That's great. But why? Not understanding the question I guess. He's been activated because he's no longer injured and optioned because he's an AAA pitcher. Plus if he stayed on the 10 day they would have to continue to pay him an MLB salary.
-
Sorry Cubs fans, you can't play against the Marlins every game this season.
-
Cub fans incredulous that Baez could be rung up on a pitch right down the middle.
-
Burch Smith is probably the guy for the 9th if the lead is 5+.
-
It's really not Claudio's fault, he can't get righties out, never has, and shouldn't be used against them. With his arm angle I would imagine his stuff looks baffling to LHB but looks like candy to RHB.
-
At some point you have to question why Albers is still even on the MLB roster. It may be getting to the point where you just eat his 2019 salary and move on. The funny thing is I would assume he'd have great numbers with 1 BB/9 and 11 K/9. He just gives up so much hard contact.
-
Ah. Makes sense then.
-
I am honestly not sure Burnes goes back to the rotation this year. I think especially with Knebel out and Barnes and Williams not being very successful, they really want another high leverage righty in that pen and may see him as such. The irony is the more he succeeds in this role I would guess the less likely he is to make it back to the rotation.
-
Tough to blame him when it wasn't 100% that Grandal was breaking home on contact, and the ball pushed Rizzo right towards him. He was basically at the bag when Rizzo threw home, so he would've been dead to rights had he left for third at any point on that play. I haven't gone back and looked at it, but from where he was, wouldn't he have seen Grandal breaking for home right on contact? Rizzo had even less of a play at 3rd than he did at home especially at that angle.
-
I'm so confused at how Aguilar did not move from 2nd to 3rd on that hit by Moose to Rizzo.
-
Hahahaha what a dumb throw. Wasn't that close. Had an out at 1st at least.
-
They felt it was important to preserve the lead. I'm starting to wonder if Burnes just isn't one of those guys who is going to be much better suited in relief, which I never would have imagined a year ago.
-
Geez. Ugly little nubber and he gets a damn double out of it.
-
Eh, he's still been replacement level this year, he's got a little ways to go yet, but the last week or two have been very nice. I think benched just has implied a platoon, and I can understand that with the way Gamel has played. The return of his power has been exciting. He just needs to continue to draw the walks, that's one thing that he was really struggling with early.
-
Really nice to see the power resurgence from Braun this year.
