Since they cut him, Robbie Gould is only 67-70 on FG attempts. He has missed 6 extra points.

Every non kicker, ex Bear, was calling for his head. But they are sticking with him. That was really weird. 4 off the upright have to be a record. He said afterwards he was kicking them right down the middle and the wind would take them. After one or two, wouldn't you change your thinking?

The Bears are one Kyle Fuller catching a ball thrown right to him, a rare Jordan Howard fumble, a bad INT in the end zone, from being undefeated. Pretty amazing.

While I agree and believe in the grand scheme of things, whether they win the WS or lose 100 games, your life should not be too effected, winning is far more entertaining than losing.

Luis Robert tearing it up in the AFL
Onc e again, you take things out of context. I pointed out Engels AFL numbers as a reason, like spring training, not to take too much from them. Next season will be far more telling.

T agree, as is your constant critique of others posts. Why don’t you actually discuss the topics at hand?

He followed up with his comment wasn’t based on any inside info. He just assumes they have what the other wants.

Next time I post it, show me where I am wrong, I am sure we can all learn from you. Another poster was a troll because his post didn’t meet your approval. It is too bad your expertise is being wasted rating message board posts.

Luis Robert tearing it up in the AFL
There is no question LuisRobert has a ton of ability. But until he shows he can stay on the field and perform consistently , he is a huge question mark. I am pretty sure I am not unique expecting more at this point. He is stilll highly regarded, but he has missed a lot of plying. First with his journey to the US. Then constant injuries. Sometimes guys never make that up. Hopefully he can.

Do you ever come to Soxtalk to actually discuss baseball or is it to project your personal issues on others?

Luis Robert tearing it up in the AFL
You really can’t discuss baseball because you have no clue, so you act like the internet police and grade posts. Grade your own. You shouldn’t be impressed. you want to say this rebuild is going swimmingly because Luis Robert had a good week in November. Go ahead,

Am I only the only 1 uneasy about this off season?
Pretty much all his free agent signings and trades for established players didn't quite work out as hoped. Robertson did pretty well but posters wanted to salary dump him after about 2 months. He is good with contract extensions. That is what he should stick with. They need a different look. One with KW also out of the way. It amazes me how fast this board went from bring back James Shields to sign all the free agents. This was a team that wouldn't pay Mark Buehrle $14 million a year, and it may have cost them a playoff berth in 2012. Tickets are cheaper, attendance is lower, but still now some actually think Harper and Machado is possibility. Hot stove makes reality go away.

Am I only the only 1 uneasy about this off season?
The correct answer is anytime RH and KW are selecting baseball talent, every White Sox fan should be skeptical. Maybe they will get it right. Recent history suggests otherwise. We will soon see if the dynamic has changed or it's more of the same. Suddenly thinking they are now contenders would make me wonder why they didn't think the same thing when they started this rebuild.

Am I only the only 1 uneasy about this off season?
The only thing they really have to lose at this point is future flexibility. So Harper, Machado, that would be good. A few of the other names mentioned I would question unless they were required to land the big fish. I don't see the point of a 38 year old DH or a 9 figure starter who doesn't have a track record of success if 2019 is another throwaway year. On the other hand, another 100 loss season would probably really hurt this team, so something needs to be done. If now it is time to start winning, I wonder if they were watching what I was watching.
