6 game hitting streak for Robert to start his career.

Robert is so much better than I bet many expected.  That was a great AB.  Didn’t try to do anything crazy.  Just hit the ball.

He is definitely making contact more often than I thought he would this early in the season.

Cheesy 90s love songs describe my feelings for Luis Robert.

I love his presence.   His defense is other worldly.

Bad job by Hand

Or could we say, bad hand job? ( if there is such a thing ) ?

As I tell my son - he is going to be a flat out superstar - like 6WAR type of player.  He just has "it". I really wonder how amazing the Mets guy is that there was another individual ranked ahead of Robert (unless you are worried he can't stay healthy). Offensively and Defensively - he has it all.

I'll buy that!

I mean, he has 9 K's in 24 PA's and a 57.5% contact rate before tonight - I think it's under 50% now. But the key has been that when he has hit the ball, he has made great contact.

 

I've watched like half this game.....has the zone been this big all game?

I agree. I was confident he would get there, just thought his swing and miss would be more of a weakness early on.

I'd love Bummer to have a vulture like season with 5-6 wins out of the set up role

Dreaded closer with the 4 run lead situation....but absolutely had to get him some game action.

Yes, which is why I'd take a lot of the offensive numbers with a grain of salt. 2-3 inches off and about 2 inches under for both sides. Can't hit in that environment.

I guess it's kind of what I expected then. Just doesn't seem that way.

Oh god here we go

Yes.  But also not at all consistent.
