Burton gives up 2 run homer
......yesterday in relief of Roenicke. He only pitched one inning. Gave up a walk and then a 2 run dinger.
He needs more time.

Re: Burton gives up 2 run homer
I was at the Bats game yesterday, and that HR was an absolute bomb. Burton got hit pretty hard and didn't look all that good. He still needs some time.

Re: Burton gives up 2 run homer
The bullpen guys in Louisville are like the backup QB on a losing team... Lol...

Re: Burton gives up 2 run homer
Burton or Brey aren't saving this pen. Either use minor league starters in the pen, or trade the minor league starters for decent pen guys. Sheesh.

Re: Burton gives up 2 run homer
Big Deal. Burton gave up a 2-run homer.
It happens. Burton's been pitching great lately. Burton also is now going two innings at a time as he recovers from his injury. Burton and Bray will improve the bullpen. |

Re: Burton gives up 2 run homer
One way or another, the bullpen is going to better come August. I fully expect Volquez, a couple of our AAA starters, and Bray/Burton to help down the stretch.
That is unless there's a move to shore up the bullpen through trade, which will come at the expense of losing some good prospects. I would hope we can make due in the next 2 months with what we have, not having to give up anybody. |
