Not what you want vs the White Sox but only gave up 3 hard-hit balls. Just couldn't put them away and got the pitch count up.

Both the runs that scored in the first were on base due to bloopers. Given that, I trust Eflin so much more than him right now.

Burnes looked more like an ace today.  He got some bad luck on batted balls and there was some bad defense, but he was able to pitch out of trouble.  It's a start, I'll take it.

Gotta start somewhere. Good to see.

I understand bad luck, errors, etc. but I checked Gameday and he was at 48 pitches and hadn’t yet gotten the first out in the third inning.   That’s not good.  It just seems like his command isn’t real good right now.

Nothing looks particularly crisp. Nothing looks like an out pitch/swing and miss stuff.

Not pitching like someone at 30 I want to obligate 200 mil plus toward. I think Eflin is next year's Burnes for the Orioles and I'm anxious to see who else Elias adds this off season. For Burnes, this will be Boras finest hour - he hopes.

He didn’t look as bad as he has in his previous starts. But didn’t look like an ace. 

The White Sox showed why they’re the worst team in history…their offense is absolutely terrible. A true ace should have dominated that lineup and gone 6-7 innings easy. 

Bloop hits happen, I get it. I’m not even upset about that. It’s that he only struck out four and wasn’t efficient against a lineup of essentially minor leaguers. 

So yeah, better than he has been lately but he should have absolutely shoved against that lineup. 

[Sports Guy]

I took absolutely nothing away from this start.

I just pulled up Joey Oritz numbers and it seems to me he's been slumping too from the last time I looked and Hall hasn't been good for the BrewCrew.

Burnes has been putting up close to a 9 ERA for a month and he has lost his ability figure his way out of trouble.  I don't know if he has a tired arm or mentally tired or something is wrong.  At this point, running him out there every 5th day for the same terrible results is stupid.

I agree but who else are they going to run out there. They are on fumes

Just saying. Nothing meant either way. I guess the Brewers were hoping for more after the start he got off

Also, between the two of them isn’t there like 25 years of team control?
