KnightsOnMintSt Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Looks like Bush was taken out of the game. Anyone know why? Haven’t been able to find anything on Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Robert's home run was an eight-pitch at-bat and his last AB he took one to the track in left field. He will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were complaining about him striking out too much (and to some extent that he wasn't walking much) when he was destroying the ball for Winston-Salem. His approach seems to have changed based on early numbers in Birmingham. He has more walks with Birmingham (5) than he had in about twice as many PA with W-S (4). His K rate is much lower (16.3% vs. 23.8%) in AA. We're obviously dealing with a small sample size, but it's a good sign that he is improving in some ways while the other numbers aren't coming as easily as they did in A ball. I understand looking at box scores everyday and getting caught up in a small slump and noticing batting average because it's visible in every box. Madrigal I get worried about, but Robert will be a good player. Maybe he has a shot to be a great one, too. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit paranoid by the current situation in BHAM, it's great to see Robert starting to pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Only thing that will slow down Robert is health. If he is injured as much as Eloy and Adolfo the Sox are in trouble. Eloy needs to DH as he has way to fragile to play every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we get some info on his stuff? Could we pretty please have a late bloomer on our hands who becomes something? I watched his start on milb.tv today so I have no idea on velo. Nothing is straight. Has a bit of a leg hitch in his delivery that seemed to fool hitters. He pounded the zone, mostly kept the ball low. He made some hitters look really bad in the first 3-4 innings and then appeared to tire in the last few. He got behind more batters, got fewer whiffs and was giving up more solid contact towards the end. His curve has good movement. I could see him being a solid lefty reliever. He just got promoted to AA so I don't know that the Sox will be in a hurry to move him again, but I would like to see him try his stuff in a hitters' environment in AAA just to see if there's anything there.
