Fool me once shame on you. Fool twice shame on me. If you honestly expect Robert to both stay healthy and perform when the last and one and only time he did it for close to a full season was 2023, then when he fails again in 2026 shame on the Sox if they do pick up his option and anyone who agrees with it. No one said anything about saving it or being worried about the payroll. If you have $20M to spend spend it on a couple players better than garbage dump pickups that actually might have trade value at the deadline instead of trying to get blood from that turnip again.

They can just not trade him without picking up the option. But he'll be traded.

Under no circumstances do you pick up that option.

Davis Martin 3.04 ERA at home this year.

Robert since coming off the IL July 8th BA .318 OPS .957 HR 3 RBI 11 SB 4

Winner winner chicken dinner ! Easy peasy !

Trust me I know about being tall and getting the legs going. Not the easiest getting started but you get rolling and you can move pretty fast.

We love insurance runs.This game is just about in the W column.

Sosa's a good hitter now. A few more walks and HRs he'd be damn good.

Not for me. Me winning 4K betting a Superbowl many years ago on multiple bets that all hit put me well ahead for life. I'll wager with friends but rarely

After Tauchman grounded out for the 3rd out Phillies PBP guy said "Cubs leave a couple" . Damn just heard Ryne Sandberg died of cancer.

Last 6 starts before today Sanchez 4-0 , 1.22 ERA , 46 K ,4 BB.

Painter 😃

Lenny getting hits before both HR is why the HR hitters are behind him. Not a great on base guy but when he getting hits against pitches in the zone so can the power.

warning track

#99 . I wanted him to get to 100 before he got traded . HR , great diving catch... You watching Phillies ?

You'd think he wasn't hitting while playing 3rd the way some people are carrying on about it. He's hitting, he's fielding fairly well . It's all small sample size so far but Sox have looked like a better team no matter where he's playing.

Mont bum ery !!!!

You never know he could be mentoring guys like Baldwin, Teel, Montgomery, and Quero for when he hits LH or some of the other young hitters. Some of the Sox young guys are doing pretty well. You can't take that for granted that they have made a pretty smooth transition to MLB so far. Power usually comes last when you move up a level especially when the emphasis is on quality PAs

He doesn't have to be great right away. Games will be lost regardless. As long as he becomes competent at it eventually.

Weird how people eventually come around to things I said months ago.

And that's not going to happen was my point. Have at it if you like thinking there are fantasy offers out there. Very few trades have gone down so far and the typical returns are pitchers. The market is setting up to be much like last year.

Taylor hasn't proven anything except that he throws hard. You'd selling low. I don't get the fascination with moving him. He barely pitched in college. They're being careful with his usage. We have no idea if he might become a starter but he's a baby in his MLB time now . It's not like he was a big top 100 name. He's still a project . You'd be trading all his upside for a downside price.

Dodger Stadium parking is just bad if not worse considering home games are always sold out. Everything crammed into a ravine. The fan experience is better when you have some of the best teams and players in MLB.

I believe he was traded by Milwaukee because he wanted to continue being a starting pitcher and they wanted to use him in the bullpen. As far as attitudes go that isn't so bad to still believe you can start.
