It wasn’t just slid short, it was “eh I assume double play so I’ll just give up” and it cost an out. It’s lazy bullshit.

Robert, you lazy ass

See, if that had been Andrew Vaughn he would have found a way to ground into a double play there

Did you just post a tweet from 2023 to try and hype up this nothing claim?

What in the hell were these guys thinking bringing him back at $5.8M only to exile him in May. For an organization that is so stingy with money they sure do like to waste it constantly.

lol nevermind, apparently that is a vehicle reference...

Put Robert’s bum ass out there

Hey there bud, Vargas moved his hands and hit .300 for like 20 games he’s a genius.

Reference Quins post earlier, Getz is a terrible judge of talent.

This is like if Tyson fought an infant

Also, to be clear, its not like he has been awful. 33 IP, 18 hits, 49 Ks (13.2 Per/9) Gotta get the walks down, and I guess hope his arm isn't damaged now, but he's been pretty good in his pro debut.

Or basically, something a qualified GM could have been able to do going into 2024. I thought the point of going with Getz was so they could have expedited this process lol.

Honestly, the way I interpreted his comment was if he was too valuable to trade at 4 years control left he would probably still be at minimum as valuable with 3 years control left but an increase in production. Which makes sense to me.

I love revisiting these comments and then think about all the goobers on here who are pounding the table that "A long rebuild was always the plan"

Assume he never gets right and ends the season hitting .200 with a .590 OPS. I would go ahead and say there is no chance that they pick up a $20M option, I just can't see that happening. His 2024 sucked, his 2025 is atrocious. This isn't a bad few months were looking at here, it would be two years of bad and as a business decision you can't give $20M to it when you can get out of it.

Because Robert being a 5WAR player with 3 years of control left would still get you a very nice package in a trade. I suppose you could imagine a world where he took another step and was like a 7-8 WAR player which would obviously increase his value.

This is a good point.

If he’s not given away for Pennie’s on the dollar he is absolutely getting bought out at the end of the year. While I can understand the premise behind not trading him after 2023 the team was in the process of a total tear down and there was no way Robert was going to be around on his current deal by the time they were going to be good again. I would rather b**** about not getting enough for him than what’s going on right now. It was an unnecessary gamble and a real kick in the nuts for expediting this rebuild.

Seriously, that lame argument of “they’d never get value” is such a stupid line of thinking that has now turned out to making him worth nothing.

Couldn’t be any worse than the 2-14 they are against the ALC

Yep, you wouldn’t have any idea this team was 18-41 only listening to the broadcast

I really enjoy how bad Baltimore is. I’ve wanted them to fail so badly after their douchey fans invaded the board and they haven’t disappointed. They have no pitching and all their prospects are struggling, pretty much the exact opposite all their fans predicted. Love to see it.

Well tends to happen when you don’t play the guy hitting .180

Yeah, not sure what the hell he was thinking

Just leave the field, 3 outs. He tried some b**** move and barely touched him, let it go.
