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.

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.

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.  

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.

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?

    • Exactly right. He was literally robbed of a game tying 3 run homerun against, I believe it was the Rays.   For all the swing and miss in Cowser's game, he does make a lot of hard contact without positive results.

    • Yep. Henry was supposed to be your closer and answer to collapses like this and then you still don’t use him!   It’s so dumb and so frustrating.  
    • Here's the lineup going forward, IMHO: Against Righties Gunnar - SS Mullins - CF Santander - RF Kjerstad - DH Cowser - LF Adley - C O'Hearn - 1B Holliday/Soto - 2B Rivera - 3B Against Lefties Slater - LF Gunnar - SS Santander - RF Adley - C Rivera - 1B Kjerstad - DH Cowser - CF Holliday/Soto - 2B Mayo - 3B At this point, you just don't start Eloy. You give him PH opportunities here/there, i.e. when O'Hearn is facing a lefty, for example. And you have to stop starting O'Hearn so much, especially in the field. I get it, Mounty isn't here, but you can give those opportunities to Rivera. When Ramon is back, I think you need to cut bait w/ Eloy, although knowing Elias, he'll probably option Mayo.
    • I was thinking the same thing regarding the short possessions. The lack of 4th quarter offense had played a big part in these late game collapses.  This team investing in a RB like Henry makes no sense with how the coaches run this offense. That money would've been much better spent on someone who would've kept Faaele on the sideline.
    • Yeah. I mean analytics obviously is huge in baseball these days. Still people like myself who have been watching the 0's since the early 1960's still are entitled to view and comment on things from the eye and between the ears test.  I don't get upset when people speak about deep stats and numbers... Moose saying opinions are obnoxious because people comment about  things from an old perspective is not only kind of dismissive, it's kind of rude too. We all have opinions.  
    • And think of how many quick offensive possessions we have too. That leads to a tired defense. They ran Henry once in the 4thQ yesterday. They didn’t target Zay after he caught his TD pass. They used 12 personnel less than last week and barely used play action, despite the fact that Crosby was all over them.    No game plan. No thought on how to do anything. Made Henry a priority and then you don’t know how to use him. Just stupidity all around.
