Nice job Foster !

Bundy has never lost against the Sox. Last time he pitched against the Sox was the 4th of July game. The home plate ump Rackley was giving Bundy all the strike calls and nothing for Cueto. Robert missed 2 catchable balls against Arraez giving him 2 extra base hits. @fathom suggests Engel in CF and Robert to RF in game thread. And of course the now infamous Triple Play . Despite all that it was 2-2 entering the 10th inning . Kelly got bombed for 4 runs and Sox could only get 1 . Final 6-3 .

I'll not waste any more of my time discussing it with you.

He doesn't seem ok doing much of anything for the last few weeks defensively . He totally misplayed that ball that he called Engel off of and then stretched for it and totally missed it. AT home against the Twins Arraez got 2 gift extra base hits the old Robert gets easily. We've seen him letting balls drop in front of him in Cueto's start and then charge the ball yesterday , got caught in no mans land and it skipped by him. OF isn't easy , I've said as much before, but Robert used to make it look easy, now it looks hard for him.

You left out Vince Velasquez. https://ontapsportsnet.com/2022/04/04/chicago-white-sox-offseason-moves-2022-roster-needs-rick-hahn-trades-signings/ That was back in April before getting Cueto. Hahn deserves no love for his off season. It's more about who wasn't acquired and poor allocation of resources. Out of desperation 2 days after Lynn was hurt he picked up Cueto. 2 days after Martin Perez signed with the Rangers for $4M , the Sox got Velasquez for $3M. Maybe the Sox offered Perez , who is now an All-star, $3M and he turned it down. I'll not carry any water for Hahn. No starting pitching depth, no added quality LHH, giving Leury 3 years. Signing an injured Kelly for 2 yrs. $17M. No QO to Rodon . Picking up KImbrel's option and then running out of options trades him for Pollock. None of the many DH's are traded. Was a great opportunity to trade Sheets knowing you still have Vaughn and Abreu. Just to bring in some more youth even a minor league pitcher since Charlotte has nothing. Ages of key acquisitions: Cueto 37, Pollock 34, Harrsion 34/35, Kelly 33/34, Graveman 31. He continues to work on the fringes taking chances with old players wasting multiple millions.

An IL announcement retroactive to the date it happened should happen but they will just keep playing shorthanded for the last 2 games before the ASB. We'll find out over the ASB if Eloy is ready to play again by July 22. If not Haseley is likely back . Hahn back to "the team is on the floor" quotes playing coy about the Sox intentions before the trade deadline.

It's sure not the worst Idea I ever heard. He's had his issues lately in CF for the last couple weeks. We've seen him lose focus on routine fly balls and drop them. We just saw a few games ago that play if RCF where he called for it then missed it. In the Twins series in Chicago he gave up extra base hits on catchable stuff. His OAA is the lowest it's ever been at 1 despite it now being the highest number of games in a season Robert has played. His UZR/150 is -17.5 and it's been in negative territory since he returned from his devastating injury last year. He is not the same cat in the OF we saw in 2020. Anyone laughing at your suggestion has their head up Roberts ass and licking his balls. There does seem to be something wrong with him lately and he left the game with lightheadedness yesterday. So unless that was an excuse for him being benched , which I doubt, there is something physically wrong with him. Of course it'll probably never happen because I don't think Robert has ever played RF in the majors yet. I doubt it would be a big adjustment for him.

We didn't forgot it's not a long road to go up to .190 .

Zippity do da, zippity yay, my o my what a wonderful day !

Of course there are plenty since he doesnt have many PA's yet

Plus he won 16 Gold Gloves

Let's go YoYo can't you smell .200 ?

He had a nice couple year with the Six in the mid 70's in his mid 30's. Then went on to pitch 8 more years. Hawk called him Kitty.

Lopey ! Kelly and Lopez aces !

WTP haha

DO you, you, feel like I do ?

El Eng

Engel 3 run jack jack jack !!!

Twice as nice ?

Can't do that with only 2 catcher . If Seby gets hurt and without Mendick as the emergency catcher who do you have catch ?

2nd good outing in a row for Kelly

Nice inning Irishman !

DING DING DING !

OMG a timmy HR !!

Bully !
