SpringfieldFan Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 A grueling west coast road trip to start the season...with two key stars going down...playing some of the worst fundamental baseball possible...with a few bats still waiting to wake up... Yet they might just come back home with a winning record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked off all ST and it's carried over into the season. Possibly. With Abreu though when people get concerned he all of a sudden goes on a tear. Understand your point though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that will get Robert started this year. What do you mean. That was the second homer off of him. The first one was 3 runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Collins sucks at framing, these should be strikes, but he’s all over the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqr Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 1 minute ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Robert has honestly looked much better. He spit on a slider out of the zone there setting himself up to get the mistake. He's fighting himself a bit early in counts as you can tell he wants to swing but his approach is improving game to game. The reward for that will come. That Iglesias at bat was the only one I can recall where he looked totally helpless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I'm taking it that Giolito's velocity has been 92-94, maybe a few 95's for most of the game? Feels like 2-3 years ago monitoring his velocity so closely. At least we know he had the mid to high 90's stuff last time out...there's that.

He's honestly had a few at bats this season where he battled well and laid off some offspeed offerings. I see no reason to be down on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLessRob Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I love our bullpen, but I’d love a starter to go 6+ innings more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow there were some bad arms coming out of the farm and ones that they tried relying on didn’t always work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Pretty sure no one, at all, on here, has said ‘Robert is trash’. Exaggerations for $400 please, Alex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Ok, any guesses on who Hawk would say was the most competitive guy he played with? I would guess some guy he played with in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
