Sean Burke of the Chicago White Sox faced command issues again, walking five batters during a recent game against the Chicago Cubs. Despite striking out four, Burke struggled, allowing six runs (five earned) over 4 2/3 innings in the 7-3 loss. Manager Will Venable criticized Burkeâs fastball command and emphasized the importance of staying competitive in the strike zone. Burke acknowledged his delivery issues and the impact on his ability to command pitches effectively, stating he needs to improve to reduce walks, which lead to essential runs for the opposing team.
You can't go out there and walk five people and expect to have good results, Burke said.
For me it's fastball command specifically. I know that he's intentional about working on it and doing everything he can to get in the zone.
I just have to be better with the walks, Burke mentioned, emphasizing the need to improve his delivery.
Two crucial walks came in a four-run second inning... that loaded the bases for Miguel Amaya.
