It's just insane how much his fastball has sucked this season

Blown saves don't matter.

 

Two years in a row, we could have traded Robertson.

 

But, no.

 

Fire everyone.

4 weeks left.

Between Suzuki, Dozier and Buxton the Sox have had their hands full. Of course terrible pitching will do that.

Robertson is the new Lerrin LaGrow.

Trading Robertson has to happen this winter. 6 blown saves it feels like 15

Edited by Soxfest

An extra innings game with these teams is fitting punishment.

 

Will walk Dozier to face Polanco.

Should have happened last August

Great, so we can do our own version of the Shields trade now.

 

How much money would we have to eat on that one?

Why would you intentionally walk a .276 hitter?

I'd be interested to see where the Sox rank in division road games over the last five years. I'm guessing last.

Interesting take on MLB network just now - Robertson was measured as having the "longest stride" in the big leagues and when his fastball was 93 the long stride made it harder to pick up the ball, but if he were to lose a little in velocity in their opinion that could trigger a really dramatic dropoff.

WHEW!

According to fangraphs, his fastball is as quick as ever.

Narvaez last inning and Polanco this inning getting the rookie treatment from the HP ump on ball and strike calls.

Dig the sarcasm.

So now we need to choose a new bloke to choke.

Suzuki should be signed by the Sox just to prevent 2-3 losses per season.

 

Raburned again.

 

Now who will the Sox bullpen turn to?

Why is it when the teams sucks, the manager gets blamed, the hitting coach gets blamed, and when it's good, they really don't get much credit. Yet, with Cooper it is exactly the opposite. He gets credit for all their success, no no blame for their failure.

His magic is long gone

Interestingly, they have played better in KC than in Chicago recently.

 

For whatever reason, the suckage doesn't seem to discriminate...in general. In Detroit, the Tigers have owned the Sox.

 

 

 

Eaton wearing an 0 for 6.

 

Nate Jones is next. Wimmer for the Twins.

 

Seven blown saves for Robertson, plus the six or seven run lead that was blown that doesn't actually count as a blown save because you can't pitch yourself into a save situation, so essentially 8.

His rotations have remained decent based on 2 guys that were developed 5 years ago. But as I tried to point out a couple weeks ago - pitching development isn't keeping up with the standard they're demanding either.

Agreed. He's not accountable for "what have you done for us lately". I wouldn't miss him.
