Is the only option "DFA"?

Do a st peter on him.  Cr4ucify him, upside down.

Hmmmm. Do you need a poll to know? 

Another first round high school pitching prospect. We are now taking Detroit cast offs.

Garcia guy looks good.

Actually, the kid's probably doing his best.  He wouldn't sabotage his own career.  It's easier to blame one guy, than a whole organization.

For the record, I warned everyone about Beau in the intro tonight...

 

P - Beau Burrows, 0-0 with a 11.00 ERA YIKES!

Hey, does anyone have any Aqua Velva?  No,  but I gotta take a ----, if that will help.

No doubt he is doing his best. And that, from a team standpoint, is a bit of a problem. Detroit, who take so many of our cast offs (and now have a better team with them than we do) already realized he was doing his best and this is what you get and have. Nothing against Burrows personally. I hope he does what is his best..... which can be seen with the Tigers and the Twins now..... for a different team. 

Burrows will pitch next year for the Tigers or KC and post an ERA under 2. 

We gonna get no hit just to top it all off?

Naw, I think a liner off Gio's forehead, would do  just fine.

Keppler the 'master' of taking center cut pitches.

Are you on a time delay? Chicago is batting......

There goes Garcia's "no hitter"..... 

Congratulations Edgar, you've just been granted another 2 months of time in our bullpen because you looked relatively decent in your first outing! 

Garcia gives up one hit..... 32 pitches... and gets pulled. Must have been on a pitch count, eh?

But Burrows? Make him finish his innings, no matter what!!!!

To be fair, Burrows had thrown 64 pitches and gotten six outs, compared to Garcia's 32 and 7...

 An we finally be done with Jake Cave?  Another great deal from our FO.

Fair? I have no idea what you mean here.

I guess none of it matters anymore, anyway.

Yawn!!!!!

Giolito only has 55 pitches. The boys are really making him work.

First Sano drops the Robert pop-up.

And then Cave....

Missed....... the forehead.....

Leg is not going to do the trick.

Barnes is in (after i made it through some tough internet issues).

 

Can't see the name without thinking of Norville Barnes (ya' know, for kids!)

Hope he's okay....

 

Not gonna wish ill on any competitor. Just that we can better 'em.

Did you notice that after Garcia pitched so well, Barnes came in and with the help of Cave - well, it is all on Cave really, but it got scored as a double! - 

and the inherited runner scores and is charged to Garcia, who pitched so well. Classic 2021 Twins.

Says a mouthful.

Hopefully 2021 refers to its usage as well.

  Context.......

I didn't take RickOShea's comment "liner off Gio's forehead" as serious, either.

Okay!

 

Let's eat into that lead!

 

Soup's on!

Nice of Burrows to throw some BP for the Sox.  They, at least, are having fun.

Young man is not fooling anyone....

By no means surprised that Beau "Duke" Burrows got rocked tonight.  He's absolutely HORRIBLE!  Understand that a "bullpen game" may have been needed after using so many pitchers in Houston and not having an open date, but Burrows---with his 11+ ERA gets picked to start?  Really?  No reason for him to EVER pitch in another game for this organization.  Not at Saint Paul.  Not at Wichita.  Not at Cedar Rapids.  Not at Ft. Myers. Just DFA this worthless player and promote an arm that is deserving-------Hamilton, Moran and Cano are all, imo, worthy of taking his slot.  Falvey/front office needs to DFA him tonight.

Trick question (kids, don't try this at home)

If Berrios pitches to Cruz, who do we root for?
