You’re asking an awful lot of Shady.Lloyd Braun wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 09:20 am He got hits in his first two games back and faced some pretty elite pitching the last two.
Maybe give him a few more at-bats before judging one individual on a team that combined for 0 runs and 5 hits total in 2 days.
Shady saw Burleson's rise to being a fine MLB hitting coming. Did you ? Probably not. There were a lot of CT doubters regarding Burleson.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 09:29 amYou’re asking an awful lot of Shady.Lloyd Braun wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 09:20 am He got hits in his first two games back and faced some pretty elite pitching the last two.

What does that have to do with Saggese? It took 2 replies for you to get off topic.Shady wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 09:33 amShady saw Burleson's rise to being a fine MLB hitting coming. Did you ?

You were off topic by criticizing me instead of focusing on Saggese. It happens often on CT. So I'll continues to post as I please.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 09:34 amWhat does that have to do with Saggese?

You are likely another poster (and there were many), that was wrong on Burleson. Now you try to make light of it. I know your silly game.CorneliusWolfe wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 09:40 am Do you think Sagesse would do better if he drank Burly sweat instead of gatorade?
Wasn’t aware you were proven right about Burlseon yet. Still the dreaded second half to go.Shady wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 09:46 amYou are likely another poster (and there were many), that was wrong on Burleson. Now you try to make light of it.

Not sure about the second half. But, 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.CorneliusWolfe wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 09:51 amWasn’t aware you were proven right about Burlseon yet.

Now, would drinking Burly sweat help Sagesse? Curious to hear honkey tonk’s thoughts.

I think Burleson has figured things out and is becoming the complete player you always said he would be.Shady wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 09:55 amNot sure about the second half.

How 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?
