What a pathetic effort by Robert.  16 strikeouts tonight, almost all of them missing the ball by plenty.

Thats as bad an AB you will see.  Really hope they move Robert and Crochet.

It will be someone that won’t slot into our top 30 prospects, IMO

I think he’s packaged with one of the big three most likely, but I think people are underrating him.  Since Jun 1st, he’s got a 2.70 ERA / 1.40 FIP with 13.5 K’s per nine and a 7.5 K:B ratio.  Again, I have never actually seen him pitch well, but apparently he has based on those numbers and teams are desperate for relief pitchers this time of year.

Luis Robert can f*** off.

Trade his ass and get whatever you can.

Keep your fucking WAR and other statistics.

That was one of the most pathetic at bats I have seen in a long time.

I do not care what some of you think and say with your statistics but he is not a winning baseball player.

The White Sox must lead the league in phantom runners stranded at 2B. It truly is amazing how bad they are.

They have to move those guys, they’re ticking time bombs with injuries and they have absolutely no shot of contending the next three years.  The talent in this organization outside of these two (and Schultz) is so bad.

But now he’s had two bad outings in a row, so you can’t just say he’s completely turned things around.

Haha Benintendi looking like you and I in that at bat.  These assholes have to try to be losing.

The 44% K rate for the offense tonight is certainly impressive

The Montgomery bandwagon stopped right in its tracks.

Lee saved the game temporarily.

They have some more pitching in the minors.  But these guys position here on the major league team: They’ve all got to go.

Korey kaught the ball

The pitching is solid, but absolutely no difference makers in my opinion.

You never liked Montgomery?

A walk here would be hilarious

Might as well pick up Arozarena and Brendan Rodgers and attempt to avoid 110-115 losses next year.

It’s all meaningless anyway.

Schultz, Smith, & Taylor could / should be and Thorpe looks like he might be a legit #3 starter.  And there are loads of guys who have MOR / BOR potential.  It’s 100% the offense that I’m worried about at the moment.

Thought he would be solid, but the lack of hit tool always made me question why he was ranked so high.  Once the reports came out he might have to move off SS, it really hurt his stock.

So much for trading Brebbia or Wilson.

Wilson hasn’t been afraid to hang pitches all season.  Never trust Padres relievers

Don't give up hope...Moncada might come back for the push for that final wild card spot.

 

I ask again, how is Pedro not fired yet and Benintendi benched?
