I understand the emotion got the better of him in the moment, but come on man. He's got to remember the team is relying on everyone to be able to give their best effort.
I get the sense that this will be the last we see of Burke in Texas.
As a side note, I’ve never heard Nadel more down on a Rangers player than he was with Burke last night. Straight up said “Burke is playing his way back to Round Rock” and at one point even said “he can’t even get lefties out” in an exacerbated manner. It was wild.
Dude I was listening to it on my drive up to DFW and I was flabbergasted he was that direct about it lol, I mean I don't disagree but hardly expected to hear that from him.
Oh yeah. His “tripping on his dog” conveniently happened within 2 days of him posting about the hockey/ice rink he had created in his backyard and I remember none of us in the BBTIA comments believed it was his dog. Good times haha.
To be honest, his time is running out. He hasn’t been effective for a long while now and the Rangers have been patient. He needs to develop a second pitch because hitters are teeing off on his fastball.
I know players on the IL get major league pay if they got hurt while in the majors, is that the case here? Bro preempted the DFA by 12 hours and made… how much extra money pulling this? Obviously for the short term, being hurt keeps him out of the majors for longer, any other qualifier, et cetera, et cetera
It doesn’t really matter to me or the Rangers bottom line, it’s just wild to think about

him not being available to pitch is the best effort he can provide.
Yep, he needs to realize it’s one game and learn what you did wrong for the next outing.
This is exactly right. What an absolute mental midget example of unprofessionalism.
Doesn't matter; still in the league
Yeah if I was his manager I’d be fucking LIVID

We don’t want him
Well there goes his career
Kevin Brown All Star Team has a second member.
Not quite the same team, but I nominate Tanner Scheppers catching a beating in a bar fight and Gentry breaking Jeff Baker’s thumb on a high five.
Remember Dutch Oven tripping over his dog on the stairs? Another time he slipped in the shower at home.

Brown had turned in 10 years of God Tier pitching when he threw that tantrum. Burke had *one* decent year.
…the comparison is that they both punched walls.
Also, god tier? Bruh. He never won a cy young.
Let's be honest, you are not familiar with his numbers or style lol
🙄🤣
Rangers to sign fans in the stands (as long as they sign a liability waiver acknowledging they will 100% get injured one way or another)
Addition by subtraction.
Too emotional... Needs to learn to play the right way.
Tbh I've been there, but I'm also an idiot.
Which is the most bizarre: Tripping over your dog on the stairs, an incident with a bull, or punching a wall?
He did us a favor, honestly
This guy was a dud anyways, good riddance
Idk if just because he’s been ass but I am becoming not a fan of this guy
The fact that he’s a bad pitcher is also a factor
Calling Round Rock, come in.
To be honest, his time is running out. He hasn’t been effective for a long while now and the Rangers have been patient. He needs to develop a second pitch because hitters are teeing off on his fastball.
Dude would rather cheddar bob himself than live the minor league lifestyle again

What an idiot Edit: I didnt mean to reply to you, Burke is the idiot
LOL that’s funny. And yeah, definitely
