I agree with you. But let’s be honest, the Sox managed him the exact opposite way that the Mets did. Just jog the bases slowly after contact… Just swing with one arm… Meanwhile, the Mets babied him in ST. They didn’t overplay him in less important ST games and allowed him to be 100% healthy for the season. Robert could very well get injured again, but the Mets have done a good job to minimize that risk so far.

Please do. @WBWSF just needs to beat out a monkey throwing darts.

The truly sad thing is that this division is pathetic. An owner that wasn’t trying to take his life earnings to the grave and a GM with half a brain could have taken this division easy this season.

You loved that bottom of the order. Acuna is a bust unfortunately, and Getz still can’t scout hitting talent.

Yep, I do remember it now. Probably was both years because they kept putting up shutouts. This lineup isn’t great but I don’t think they will be able to achieve the levels of corpseball that those lineups did.

Funny how the roles have reversed and now the pitching looks good compared to the offense.

Wrong cartoon, but this is pretty good as well.

@southsider2k5???

After his best season in 2023, we ended up trading Robert for a utility player that can’t hit. Trading Alex Rios for Leury Garcia looks like a heist compared to this trade.

I did give them credit in my previous post. Just seems like a high number of hard lineouts, especially when Kay is pitching.

Have Sox pitchers gotten extremely lucky with BABIP, or does it just seem that way?

Offense is sucking but this is some of the best pitching they have had, so can’t complain there.

This definitely appears to be the case unfortunately. Hopefully he will figure out how to adjust.

.470 OPS. He swings a wet newspaper.

Acuna can’t hit. Getz can’t scout.

Was going to say the same thing. Ugly bottom of the order. We’ve been used to this over the years but this time it is mostly due to injuries.

Acuna and Peters must’ve missed the memo.

I get it, but our return for him looks like he is going to struggle to put up a .650 OPS with the way he swings at everything. Vientos or whatever other offers out there previously might have been better unfortunately. Getz is bad at this.

I posted facts. This is what happened. You didn’t really refute any part of my post, other than that the Sox couldn’t keep him healthy. Let’s see what the Mets do…

Mets management plays it easy and babies him in ST to ensure he is recovered from his nagging injuries and he lights it up early in the regular season. White Sox management plays him when he’s still banged up coming back from an injury, can only swing with one arm, and tells him to slow jog the bases. There’s a difference.

Sox gonna Sox. They don’t teach outfielders to call each other off in this org.

The Royals aren’t doing so well but Kay must’ve put up the best start of the season thus far.

You can’t waste this for the opposite days.
