What really good MLB player (on the par of multiple All-Star and Gold Glove winner making around $35th Million yearly went to the rookie league ? Voluntarily? Awaiting receipts.
Hint…. Springfield is AA. AAA is Memphis.
Either way, it’s a foolish proposition. And he would have to approve that.
Burly has a hopeless, loyal fan who will “toot his horn” regardless of performance. Pleased his shot kept the Cards in the game and that Gorman picked him up in the 10th.
The constant defense of the problematic poster here is curious. Everyone else is wrong?
That said, I hope “Burly” rights the ship. Given the attrition in the thin outfield lineup, his consistency is required.
Wow .. Burleson mired in an awful slump. Not helping the team at all. Maybe he needs a patented Oli 2 day nap designed for players under 25.
If Donovan can go, he needs to sit one out.
Wow @Shady. Looks like Burly is regressing to his norm. And he’s improved in the outfield, but not good.
Shady…stay tuned. Traditionally lineups are posted numerous places on the interwebs NLT 2 hours prior to game time.
And Oli Marmol doesn’t set the MLB roster.
Hopefully Burly gets off the schneid tonight. Bad week so far.
Some think 3 weeks make a career. Others with a balanced view are hopeful but see that for the blip it is. Chill Shady.
Basking in the warm light of Cranny’s approval….
Though to be fair, there’s some negativity brewing.. like what’s the plan for the 5th starter? Pallante? Really?
“AdM, Burly couldn’t have been much over 22 when he tore up AAA pitching. The same age Walker is now. By the way, I am not kyfan1.”
ok
“It might be time to go Burleson 3, Goldschmidt 4 and Arenado 5 against RHP.”
Or not.
They’re winning. Leave it alone.
@ shady wrote “BOCfan, a few weeks ago, weren’t you wanting Burleson sent down to Memphis? Are you feeling a little better now about Burleson as an MLB player? Or are you still skeptical?”
yes
@ Shady write
“In trying to name some positives in Marmol as a manager. Close to the top of the list would be the way he stuck with Burleson. I’m not sure every manager would have given Burleson so many chances. Right now, that loyalty appears to be paying off for Marmol, Burleson and the Cardinals. It may have helped fix a stagnant offense.’
Couldn’t agree less. Doubt Marmol makes any personnel decisions. We’ve covered that previously when you thought theanager decided who to put on the roster out of spring training.
Personal post about another poster deleted by moderator.
The next post by BOCfan not about baseball will result in a suspension.
@Shady wrote “Burly is hitting .150 vs lefties this year”. Yep, that’s nothing special. Wonder how Gorman, Nootbaar, Donovan and Carlson are hitting”
Jeez dude.Would you give the ENDLESS Burly hype a rest. It’s exhausting
