Get 2 on, can’t score.  Again.

No. It‘s clearly Don Cooper‘s fault somehow.

It seems Robert goes up there deciding to swing no matter what or decides to be selective. No in-between

Don’t worry guys, Nomar said he’s due any day now!

Robert struck out without seeing a strike.  

They had about 9 of those as a team a few weeks ago against Darvish

Those at bats by Eloy and Robert.... pure trash.

If you want to be the big boy in the division can't go up their shooting your wad like a teen age virgin at the plate.

 

Deja vu...1st and 2nd, nobody out...no runs.

We need to lend them Reylo to throw to Mazara.

For as bad as Eloy looks at times, Robert looks worse occasionally as well. 

Yea and then his next at bat he will dent something in the outfield where it lands.

There was 1 out this time. 

It’s one thing when guys struggle and they are making good contact right at people or foul.  Mazara isn’t even close. Time to pull the plug

It may not matter in the long run, but Lopez's stuff looks lively tonight, to me at least. Just gotta throw strikes.

Yeah, when that fella who throws 80% sliders came in last night, I knew it was game over.

If it’s true Vaughn is getting reps in RF, I bet it’s soon he’s replaced

Yeah robert is still raw and he will throw away ABs but he also is able to make adjustments.

He will strike out on 3 sliders in the dirt but also has the ability to come back from that and hit a hanging slider 450 feet the next AB. that is a valuable skill even though it still needs refinement.

Of course he is, and Eloy is only 1 full season and 32 games into his career. Both guys show signs of plate discipline but still swing at too many junk pitches. Hopefully they learn to lay off the bullshit.

Vaughn would have the range of Adam Dunn in the OF

Arraez is such an annoyance

He reminds me of Luis Rivas. 

Kind of surprised that Lopez was able to throw that many strikes in a row

I think he's the ball hard twice this season
