Look at Ray Ray Run

He needs to start hitting the ball with some authority. Good plate discipline numbers, but his ISO is atrocious right now. That park is hard, and the league in general greatly suppresses offense, but he's going to have to get his slugging above .400.

Saying he's going to be bad is a bold take. A guy with a 1400 OPS at A+ projects to put up an OPS north of 1250 at AA. Obviously there may be some regression, but I just don't think people are grasping how great Luis Robert has been. He isn't playing the same game as everyone else. If Robert is great at AA, Robert won't see any time at AAA.

After what he just did at A+, if he's putting up a 950-1050+OPS at AA (in that ballpark) he won't be spending any time at AAA I would guess.

If he's great for about 1+ month at AA, he will skip AAA entirely and be with the big club come mid-June.

Pal this isnt a SSS case. He's not just hitting pal, he's absolutely obliterating everything and has an OPS near 1500. There is absolutely nothing left for him to accomplish at this point in A+. To put it into perspective - hes hitting so well at A+ that you could argue he could skip the next level all together. That's how much better he is than his peers right now. When Soto hit A ball pitching like this last year, he pretty much jumped straight to the big leagues and not even he was THIS good.

Beat me to it.

A guy with a .528 ops isnt someone you want up with the label tying run?

Got no issues going down swinging on a nice pitch.

He's a 250 babip guy with the shift. So he's missing about 75 points which puts him at 250ish.

Ewww Tim anderson uses an A2000 SS glove. How do you not use a heart of the hide SS glove?

Yes.

Great job by severino there. With that ball looking over your head to break back is pretty sharp.

And his insistence on walking a lead off guy.

Lol sometimes all you can do is shake your head. That was so bad.

B2b lead off walks with a 4-1 lead is just unacceptable.

He's fine. Him being a #5 would be a success story.

Banuelos also nibbles way too much.

Come on Benetti. There was no chance they walked him when it was 1-2 lol.

His stuff is fine. It's not great or "good." Slider doesnt have a ton of depth but has some late bite. Fastball is straight and not very hard or heavy. Curveball is a nice change of pace but it's not great by any means. A show me pitch kind of.

The best hands and wrists in baseball. Tim Anderson.

High Ankle Sprain, which this seems to be, is about 6 weeks.

What? For AC joint inflammation? No.

To me it's that simple. My college coach would not have been critical of the lead runner at all. Same for any coaches prior to that. It honestly is that simple. You're looking too far into this. Tim's job on a deep fly ball to center is not to look where Jose Abreu is. Part of Abreu's job is to know where the lead runner is.

It was 100% Abreu's fault. The trail runner is responsible for knowing where the lead runner is - that's literally all there is to it. The trail runner has the lead runner in front of him while the lead runners job is to focus on the play in front of him. I said it then but this isnt even queationable. Cali you're breaking this down far too much. It's as simple as the trial runner needs to always know where the lead runner is. That's baseball fundamentals 101.

Gordon Beckham is still in the league. He wasnt rushed. Hes just simply not good enough at hitting a baseball.
