I haven't seen Koperniak in the MLB lineup. Have you?Honky Tonk Man wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 10:25 amHow is that Matt Koperniak love workcraviduce wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 10:18 am Shaddy's goalposts move constantly, they're covered in Weather Vane-onomics....whichever way the wind blows.
After 4 games, he's ditching Saggese once again. Interesting, he proclaims that Burley is "right now, Burleson is the most feared hitter in the Cardinals' lineup. A lot of managers don't seem too crazy about having him hit against RHP."
If we use Shady's 4 game weather vane and apply it the above declaration, we can get to the bottom of this, and ascertain the validity of this possibly absurd
to be fair to Burley, let's look at the last 7 games....
Burley ~ .179 BA, .641 OPS
Gorman ~ .240 BA, .865 OPS ....incredible, this is the guy that Shaddy constantly wants to replace with Saggese, but Shady has now given up on Saggese...again.
Contreras ~ .200, .640 OPS
Arenado ~ .259 BA, .791 OPS
Nootbaar ~ .280, 1.100 OPS
------------
As you can see, Shady, is lying again....or he's not capable of properly reading box scores the next day?
"right now" , Burley isn't the "most feared hitter"....not by Shady's very own Weather Vane Metric.
Should we expect...no, should be demand, Shady be consistent and CONDEM Burley and shun him as he so often does after 2 or 3 games with likes of Saggese?
I like the kid alot, great story...UDFA. He's having a terrible 1st half in AAA. Getting a bit old, too. Time is running out on him. He could still have a decent 2nd half.
