lol, his approach is literally the same it's been since he was a rookie.

Such a shame, but that first round was awesome. Next time, Luis, next time.

Damn, that sucked

lmao Sox season ends with a pathetic HR derby, so typical

I hate to break it to you, but we've got another half season of thrilling White Sox baseball.

I thought it was awesome seeing Luis in the derby personally, irrespective of this season. Definitely a bright spot for me.

Yeah, and the announcer kept talking about how his stance made it so he wouldn’t get as tired as the other guys.

White Sox vs Rays training and wellness staff on display there

Still proud of our guy, nice to see him push himself out of his comfort zone a bit.

He hit one 484ft, the longest tracked HR in T-Mobile per Statcast. He made the ASG.

And he did it all after turning in 87(!!!) first half starts in CF.

you do realize that for the kinds of changes this team needs, they need to play so badly that people lose their jobs

you understand that right

I can't believe you guys actually watch these games, like there's nothing else for you to do, seriously?

it's like that bill burr skit where he's talking about jaded girlfriends who can't leave their abusive relationships

"I can't just leave him Becky, my CDs are in his TRUCK"

Referencing the Cubbie loving Bill Burr? Very sad. You probably buy your insurance from Jeff Vukavich too. See you on Friday.

So why get upset about Luis Robert doing OK (definitely not "pathetic") in the home run derby?

If it brings you that much misery, man, you need to look elsewhere.

I haven't watched a full game since May, doesn't take much for me to turn the s%*# off

I wonder how much it will cost MLB when some kid gets badly hurt and the parents sue.

I'm sure, in true American mega-corporate fashion, they made all their parents sign waivers just for the "honor" of this. That kid had to be badly hurt. It was a fucking line drive rocket, probably at close to 100 mph, smoking their skull.

I only watched the first round, but Luis was like a movie villain that dispatches a main character in the first 10 minutes of the film.  The crowd and announcers (and most people watching at home) were just loving Rutschman's performance, praising him, getting teary eyed with his dad pitching to him.  Then Luis comes in and destroys him and 28 baseballs.  The perfunctory hug afterwards was classic.

What the f*** are you even talking about?  You are posting about and clearly watching the games you are making fun of people for watching.   So, Becky, go get your CDs.

I keep thinking about this. He doesn’t have the big personality of some of the other participants. He doesn’t have the name recognition (yet). He didn’t have an entourage or any other teammates there with him. Hell, he basically had no storyline at all. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there was even a little culture shock going from whatever this Sox miserable existence is to…gasp…a fun environment?!

Atta boy Pantera. Hopefully this was the first of several. He deserves to be showcased more on a national level.
