Ruiz and Johnson could not stem the tide. Oh well.

113 MPH?! @chitownsportsfan get moist.

I was sitting the next section over from where that dude above shot that video...that ball was a laser that got out in like 3-4 seconds. At first I thought it was a gapper...but it just kept rising like a drive off the tee. Thing was kilt.

tell ya one thing I cringe every time I see it....does Robert have to head first slide on everything?  I mean I get and appreciate he's a gamer....but that 200+ lbs traveling at a decent velocity going head first into a bag (on a steal). He dove head first three or 4 times today and every time I cringed.

I think it is proven to be foolish and I don't like productive hitters stealing a lot of bases.

Funny thing is Robert seems like the type of guy who would hurt his ankle/leg sliding feet first because he doesn't do it often.

looked it up, robert's hr would have been 68th in highest exit velocity in 2019, not bad.  It's .5 mph faster than any ball JD Martinez hit last year, for example.
