Smith only had 87 pitches.  Why take him out?  17 pitches in his last two innings pitched.

I keep reading on here how people like him, but his numbers are horrific.  Not sure why this wasn’t Vasil for 2

He sucks 

Raleigh stronger from the right side so put in a lefty. Perfect.

Especially a junk lefty he faced yesterday.  I guess Venable is more worried about Tellez.

I’m fine with it, they need to limit his innings somehow

I don't know what you're saying but hell yeah dude! 

Keep throwing those low 80MPH sliders in the middle of the plate to this team

Dude has a career high of 94 IP, and that covers the last 5 years.  He is already over half of that total only a quarter of the way through the season.

i wonder if robert will K against a marginal reliever. oh my bad it was the same guy he had 3 at bats against. which is worse.

Billy Hamilton Jr K's again.

Holy hell Robert is so bad right now.

God is he bad

Maybe  the 6th time through the lineup if they keep Evans in Luis Robert might hit a single. This guy is just braindead. 

Has anyone been to batting practice lately? How often does he whiff there? 

Wait we have a 6'7" reliever dude? 

oh boy 

doubling up on hitting the batter and ump lmao 

goddamn that was a slow rotation on that double play

just walk Raleigh tbh

Raleigh may as well be Byron Buxton when it comes to facing the Sox!

I dig Raleigh and I'd much rather face Arozarena

time to stretch indeed

why

A lot of people figured he'd have a chance to hit but turning into an elite defensive catcher while hitting his 90th percentile offensive projection is crazy. I mean it happens, scouting is imperfect, but personally just as a baseball fan never figured it would be him, even after a strong rookie season.

I kind of like Palacios.  He gets on base reasonably well for a 4th OF type.  And he's an effervescent fellow.

Keep him around over Taylor. f*** it.
