After a tough outing at Wrigley Field, Sean Burke reflected on the importance of communication with fellow pitcher Mike Vasil. Both players struggled, each issuing five walks, prompting their discussion about performance. Vasil, who is known for his ability to contribute significantly from the bullpen with the best ERA, has adapted well to the Sox clubhouse culture, credited to his outgoing personality and relationship-building skills learned from his father. The article emphasizes the essence of maintaining strong connections within the team for shared growth and support during the season.
"For me and him that day, we both weren't happy with how [the game] went. Talking through things is important because we've seen each other pitch since we were 15."
"Having people that you can enjoy the journey throughout the season with is important. [Vasil's] comfortable with himself."
"My dad's that kind of guy who makes relationships with everyone. Also, the type of coaches I played for growing up, they really stressed making relationships with your teammates."
