My unread text messages now are set to a notification level of 88. Thus, it means Robert is breaking out tonight in an unlikely fashion.

Exactly.

I'll take a walk, a hit, and a catch near the wall as signs of a breakout. Just needs to get his confidence back, playing near everyday maximizes the opportunities.

I have confidence in the team tonight, Bieber is most excellent, but if the team works the counts and remains patient they can get to him and their bullpen.

Not intimidating:

While I generally agree with Abreu's comments, my worry is that team-wide slumps usually last longer than 5 games. 

We werent good against the Twins and we got lucky that they were even worse. I would say our team slump is at 9 games.

I appreciate Abreu being a leader, and vocally, but I'm not buying it. These guys haven't relaxed after clinching as we see many of the same good things and bad things. Maybe that was the case the first Cincy game. The reasons I think they are struggling in order. 

1. Facing good teams with elite pitching. 

2. Not hitting enough with runners on base, not squaring up bad pitches. 

3. Walking too many batters.

4. Poor lineup construction and bullpen usage.
