Robert is the first player to hit 20 homeruns and 20 doubles.

Nothing like a visit from the Red Sox to boost our boys HR total!

Think his projections were 25-30 on the year.

Working aggressively through the off-season seems to be paying off for him.

21 homeruns in 76 games, he only missed 3 games this far so on pace to hit close to 44 homeruns on the year.

Robert won AL player of the week, only his first honors this season.

Boy would that be a strong season. I suppose he’s had his lows like any other player but numbers don’t lie he’s been what they’ve been hoping for lately.

Lost 2-1 to the Angels after giving up two stolen bases simultaneously followed by a wild pitch to score Trout, you can’t make this stuff up.

He really is our only good offensive player. And then to lose the game on two walks and a wild pitch

This game is becoming the norm for us Sox fans.

Its like the Sox are losing IN SPITE OF Luis Robert.

I know over the course of the season you will get some bad luck (and good luck), and see all range of outcomes but this is just hard to watch.

Looking like we can chalk it up as another wasted year for the Sox.
Maybe at some point in the next few years they will start looking like a playoff team again.

Robert is just fun to watch, but all this going on around him certainly doesn't help.

I can’t imagine the haul they would get if they traded him to a contender. But selfishly I want him to be in a White Sox uni for life and we just try and build around him and hopefully win some day…a fan can dream.

Trade the mediocre players now, hope for a high draft pick and build around Luis Robert.

Tonight’s home run was a monster homer to dead center. Reminded me of a Yordan homer.

Definitely carrying this team to a solid 3rd place 10 games under .500 finish in the worst division in baseball.

They do need to build around him. I don't seem him straying away from the off-season workout he conducted at home with teammates from both the majors and minors. That is important in his preparation and acceptance of being the leader of the team. They'll need to move Tim Anderson in order for Luis Robert to accept that position completely. Do they have a formal title for the White Sox with the 'C' patch?
