Remember when we argued last winter about Robert’s theoretical free agent value? And you said he was easily worth as much as Bellinger or more? Yea…

A year ago I posited Acuña and Baty felt like a fair return for Robert (was crucified for this take). This return is notably worse.

That's incorrect sir

Hard for him to defend Messiah Elias these days

Orioles contention window closed even quicker than the Sox. Who saw that coming ✋

Actually, 2025 Robert is exactly what I expected him to be - injury prone, tons of tools but extremely inconsistent. You were one of the ones underrating Bellinger and/or overrating Robert so you should probably sit this one out.

Funny what a year does. A year ago people were arguing with me as they contended Luis Robert was much more valuable than Cody Bellinger (much higher ceiling, younger, better production rates when healthy, etc). Now some are debating whether Luis is worth $20M while Cody is projected to earn $165M in free agency this winter.

It was a win for Sox fans for sure

Another run here would make me feel a lot better into the 9th

Same

2 inning save? Not sure about this

That was near disaster for the cubs

Mears, then Koenig

Brewers desperately need some insurance

Me too. Lucky to survive that with Ashby/Patrick combo

This feels like the most important inning of the game for the brewers with runners on and heart of the lineup. Have to go with your best and to me that’s Uribe.

He’s looked great offensively AND defensively

He sucks so bad. All those Orioles fans hyping his batted ball data in the minors a couple years ago lol

Or more like, the Brewers were already damn good before Stearns became GM and are even better after he left. Stearns couldn't even get the second highest payroll in mlb into the playoffs. No sugarcoating it, that’s a massive failure. Oh, and the Cubs made Counsell the highest paid manager in mlb. The Brewers upgraded their managerial spot when Counsell departed.

With each passing day, evidence points to Stearns and Counsell being two of the most overrated guys in the sport.

Oh, sorry, I forgot. Wins and losses don’t matter during a rebuild until suddenly they did for a bit but now they don’t again because they’re still losing.

Well, they’re 18-31 since the trade deadline. That .367 win % just so happens to exactly match their .367 win % for the entire season. Different team, same results…

You’re the guy that said the Sox could realistically play .500 ball from 8/1 thru the end of the season because they were a “different” team now. I laughed so hard at that then and still do now. So, no, you’re not “anchored in reality.”

Agreed. Nothing changes until then.

And if the Sox made it to the LCS with Beni having a 3 WAR season I wouldn’t consider it wasted money. Damn, at this point, I’d take playoffs.
