Do you remember when the Opening Day roster was set and Jake Burger wasn’t on it? Of course you and the rest of the White Sox fanbase don’t. Since coming up on April 5, he has 22 hits. 16 of those are for extra bases and 10 of those extra base hits are home runs. Needless to say, he’s made it impossible to send him back to Charlotte.
Stories like Burger’s make a 16-28 record not feel so bad. An abundance of runs, especially home runs, make a starting pitcher’s job more manageable. Dylan Cease will be hoping the offense continues this afternoon during his start against Cleveland.
