The Official Luis Robert Thread

I don’t expect that, I’m just expressing what I think he needs to do to reach his potential.

You’re absolutely right but I’m positive he is talented and motivated enough to work on his lesser qualities and be a top 10 player in the league for years to come.

HR #37 and double #36, with ten games left curious if he can get to 40/40, I’m happy he had a multi hit game last night, it’s been a while.

He adjusted his off season to become a better player and leader. It reflected during the season. He'll get better if he continues the work. I'd just like to see a few veterans like Eloy show the same results.

Too bad he didn't run at all for the first few months, otherwise we could be talking about the real 40/40.

Grifol said something about that, Eloy, Moncada and Robert aren’t allowed to constantly steal bases given their history and to prevent new injuries. The situation might be different next year.

Got subbed after two at bats today, I’m assuming because they were down 8-1.

That doesn't make sense, he's chasing 40 and they aren't saving him for playoff baseball.

He's been made of glass his entire career except this season, no reason to risk an injury with nothing on the line

Whats the point in reaching 40? Does nothing for him.

Pulled with right knee soreness after stealing base #20. Nothing serious I’m sure but could keep him from getting to HR #40.

Guessing day to day but not sure if they will shut him down for the remainder of the season, maybe they can have him play DH only.

40 isn't worth it. Sit him down!

If there is any physical liability or risk definitely but if he is able and really wants to play I’m sure they will allow it.

He's made of glass. No need for it. The future is more important.

I agree with you mostly…and I REALLY hope you’re right…but when it’s the current state of the White Sox, is the future that important?!?! Like playing him might deal a blow to that 70 win team next year?!

Really, made of glass? He hasn’t had any surgery and with the exception to the injury in 2021 of which he healed naturally all of them were pretty minor and not due to his physical incompetence.

“Made of glass” is a phrase used to describe athletes who miss a lot of time due to injury. Sometimes it is okay to acknowledge a problem instead of fighting every single negative comment.

No it’s a term used to describe a person’s physical stature and being fragile which can lead to more injuries.
