Maybe greg just meant best ever for such late 1st round pick who had a series of ups and downs that had nearly everyone diubting him and quite a few calling him a bust /bum. Frank Thomas did nothing but hit from the time he was drafted to the day he retired.Pretty damn good #7 1st round pick !

Any word on why Taylor hadnt pitched in so long ? Seemed like a planned rest without IL- ing him so a pitcher short during the losing streak . Edit Forgot he got the loss in the 11th inning against Seattle 8/7 but before that his last appearance was 8/1.

When Eloy had his HR stroke he could hit some 450ft. bombs , usually to straightaway CF . Those were magnificent.

452 114.5

Sosa and Montgomery might be fighting for the Sox HR lead by the end of the season if Robert keeps having trouble finding his HR swing.

For sure staying ? Like never traded ? I never got that impression at all. The goal has always been to trade him.

Robert has to fatten up on the lefty since he hits them a lot better. Probably why he was benched early in the blowout.

Why wouldnt he be ? That's the plan. The longer you keep him the more likely he wont ever get traded. Even finishing with a .725 OPS is an uphill battle. August and September he needs to stay almost as good as he was in July .

4 recent AAA and MAT. Julks, Mead, Amaya, Baldwin, however,yesterday they had 5 hits , 2 doubles & a HR and 4 of the 5 RBI. Teel also had an RBI .

He also ended Robert's on base game streak by pulling him early.

That ball was wind blown. It's why no one could catch it. But Brooks does need defensive work.

Its not a given that keeping him will pay off. That still has long odds. He has to stay healthy,hit and keep hitting. A few more dingers would certainty help. He's not going to keep hitting near . 400. There is room for criticism and this tweet where he seems to be just being factual. You could do what Nightengale does better than he does if you had sources.

23 game on base streak now for Robert, Jr.

Can I have a do over ? 😛

He's been taking walks too. That's like a really good heater or he's figured a lot out in the last 10 months or so.

Thats more like it Back to back Tauchman and the Sosa Oppo taco ! Game is within reach now thanks also to some Alexander the Great pitching.

Abreu had a great debut unless you don't count him.

But I like Groundhog Day !

Just $50M ? That's nothing. Sox player payroll was $82M this year. $150M isnt even that much. Mets $323M Dogers $321M Yankees $293M Phillies $284M Half the teams in baseball are north of $160M . No one mentioned moving to Tennessee as part of rebranding. Minor uniform changes are all that was mentioned. They do that with the City Connect uniforms every Friday anyway on all teams. Doesn't even have to be every day changes. It wouldnt even have to be called rebranding since people seem to be triggered by anything that isnt a better product on the field. One is not mutually exclusive of the other. Both can happen at the same time.

They have 5 guys in todays lineup who would be leading our team in HRs easy: Raleigh, Suarez, Polanco, Arozarena,Rodriguez.Naylor would be 1 behind Beni.

Glad I stuck it out till the end. Got to see the Robert career #100 HR and the Colson 💣 .

I really dont like Naylor .

Venable had 3 chances to take him out. Start of the inning,1st walk, 2nd walk, yet left him in still. Fail x3

The font and black color is popular which is why I didnt suggest getting rid of it only accenting it. It's not like the whole uniform would be red just a tiny bit. White Sox are seeing red ! Ad campaign writes itself 😉
