Bochy chews out Burriss for lack of hustle

For Emmanuel, forever ago. (hates self for that)

But you have to believe that Emmanuel Burriss is not long for this roster.

The switch-hitter did himself another disservice Tuesday when he didn’t run out a popup that Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy caught in fair territory in the second inning. Cameras caught Giants manager Bruce Bochy chewing out Burriss something fierce.

“Yeah, I did,” Bochy said. “He’s better than that, and that’s what I told him. There’s no excuse for that, especially with his strength being speed.”

Bochy said he would’ve taken Burriss out of the game, but it would’ve left the Giants without a backup infielder and “I couldn’t take him out and punish Matt (Cain). We’ve got to be smarter than that.”

Ray Burris must be 50 by now, how fast do you want him to move.

I think Posey got about 200% of that home run.
