Are you sure about that, Pedro? This guy must lie when giving confession. Edited April 5 by WhiteSox2023 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get ready to break out those VHS tapes and DVD's of better seasons by the end of April gang. 12 runs in six games...words fail me. I thought this team might avoid 100 losses but I’m starting to think the soxtalk prognosticators pegging them at approaching 120 might be right. Soroka managed to bulldog his way to a strong start and the Sox still got smashed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseball_gal_aly Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) I think we're going to have to come to grips that Robert has as much swing and miss in his game as Moncada and will be similarly inconsistent from season to season. We've already seen it. Edited April 5 by baseball_gal_aly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is that the things that make Moncada hard to trade will also make Robert hard to trade. Both have the ability to be as bad as 1.5 win players and as good as a 5 win player.

Moncada looks like a different guy so far this season on the effort front, shame he decided to coast through his tenure here and will never reach his full potential. Robert at least appears to try, but goes through such brutal stretches where he looks lost and caught in between. Hopefully Robert figures it out here soon and goes on a run, guy is quite fun to watch when he's locked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that it might actually be more prudent to move Robert sooner rather than later before he gets expensive and has Moncada's inconsistent track record.

That's the same thing that happens to Yoan from season to season. Honestly I think 2023 might be Robert's ceiling, at least in the Sox org. Maybe an org that's not completely ass backwards could get more out of him. Edited April 5 by baseball_gal_aly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Their 1-for-7 showing with runners in scoring position dropped the South Siders to 4-for-32 in that category for the season. It's also interesting that the tribune this morning had a story quoting Iloy as saying he was feeling much better. They put him on the 10day injured list this afternoon. 🤡 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was interesting seeing him taking BP swings so early and with authority with an abductor injury. So typical they don't know what's going on, it's beyond ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
