6 IP 4 ER 7 hits 1 BB 5 K's gave up 2 2-run homeruns to Paul Konerko but other then that he was pretty good Title: Re: Burnett's first start Post by: Brian Fein on April 16, 2006, 10:16:16 am hope you enjoy him, we're glad to be rid of that loser.

I felt like the only one in FL that thought he was just average. :) Title: Re: Burnett's first start Post by: Brian Fein on April 16, 2006, 09:36:05 pm He's definitely a good pitcher, but the antics he pulled at the end of last season showed his true colors. He's not a team player, and this minor league club doesn't need that kind of cancer.
Title: Re: Burnett's first start Post by: Thundergod on April 16, 2006, 09:42:41 pm Oh, nevermind. Well, I'm back to being the only one again. ;D

Title: Re: Burnett's first start Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on April 16, 2006, 10:33:14 pm He's definitely a good pitcher, but the antics he pulled at the end of last season showed his true colors. He's not a team player, and this minor league club doesn't need that kind of cancer. He's like Braden Looper. He's a thrower, not a pitcher. He relies on heat and nothing else. Pitchers can start out that way, with an intimidating fastball, but sooner or later, hitters will catch on to that. The pitchers who learn to mix in different types of pitches with that fastball are the ones who go on to long, successful careers. Title: Re: Burnett's first start Post by: raptorsfan29 on April 16, 2006, 10:40:49 pm Roy Halladay has given him a few pointers on how to pitch, they work together and do all kinds of stuff together, (no not that so get that twisted fantasy out of your head) plus he has armsberg working with him.
The first time us jays fan with see the Halladay-Burnett duo is this weekend against the red sox at the rogers centre, According to the ESPN the pitching matchups for those games will be Halladay vs Beckett. Dinardo vs Burnett and it didn't say who was pitching the third game. Burnett will be awesome this year. Stop Laughing Title: Re: Burnett's first start Post by: Brian Fein on April 16, 2006, 10:43:12 pm It'd be kinda cool if it lined up Burnett vs Beckett.
Title: Re: Burnett's first start Post by: raptorsfan29 on April 16, 2006, 10:48:30 pm it will happen eventually, i think
we all know who would win that battle. Burnett easily i sense that Beckett will not last long in his next outing against the jays, he won't get shelled or anything but he will be ejected when he throws chin music to hillenbrand and it ends up being a brawl between the two. Shea will show him how to "play the game the right way" if you don't know what i mean by that look at my previous post that is titled beckett is a prick Title: Re: Burnett's first start Post by: raptorsfan29 on April 18, 2006, 12:52:59 am espn was wrong i went to mlb.com to see what the pitching matchups are going to be
The pitching matchup is going to be Beckett vs Burnett Dinardo vs Halladay they don't have pitching matchups for the third game Title: Re: Burnett's first start Post by: Brian Fein on April 18, 2006, 09:19:13 am I wonder if AJ asked to be moved up a day in the rotation for face Beckett. Do pitchers do that? I figured Halladay was ahead of Burnett in the Jays' rotation.....
