It Sounds strange but imo robert is not aggressive enough. Long term you want to improve his plate discipline but right now his pitch recognition is what it is and imo robert tries to show false patience here by waiting a little longer to see the ball better and then being late on the FB.

Javier baez had that too, the Cubs had one season where the Cubs tried to make him more patient and his chase rate slightly dropped but so did his zone swing.

Robert needs to start guessing again and swing before he has fully recognized it. 

 

That isnt a great long term strategy but at least he would be all over the FB again even though he would look silly at times.

SoxTalk wants pitchers to go more than 5 innings.

SoxTalk gets mad when pitchers go more than five.

one poster saud take him out after 45 pitches.

There is no way you let him go almost 120 pitches right before the postseason. They’ve treated the last week of games like exhibitions and now treating it like a World Series game.

One poster said take him out after 45 pitches or he’ll get injured.

I want Sox pitchers to go more than 5 innings

I don't want them to at the expense of 120 pitches

See the difference?

This is freaking insane. We’re seeing Renteria just implode. 

Everybody was talking about accepting some losses after the clinch so we can set up our rotation for the playoffs. In what fucking universe does that mean letting one of our top 2 pitchers throw 119 pitches? I can’t believe Ricky’s a candidate for manager of the year.
