hankchifan Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 One of the biggest surprises of this season is hit and running/trying to steal with Robert with Abreu at the plate. Robert is 5 for 5 and we have avoided the dreaded Abreu double play ball which hurt us last season. That was my biggest peeve with TLR last season. Kudos to TLR this season for the adjustment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 yeah nice catch. Robert is gonna be a 30/30 guy this year, but boy would 40/40 be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Maybe TLR one year in is listening to his staff and we see good moves being made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I’m cool with 30 steals. I love what the threat to run does, but the extra wear & tear is a concern. 30/30 doesn’t seem so crazy either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 It's been working. A couple fouls have been frustrating, but so too where there double plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The double plays are far more frustrating. With teams knowing that Robert is a likely threat to run, it changes the pitch strategy with Abreu. All those low and away sliders and stuff should be considered riskier. Plus the pitchers (and catchers) may also make mistakes when they’re thinking about Robert. It’s a very good thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the whole "if he can stay healthy" thing, as well as the whole "if he can adjust to the adjustments the league makes on him" thing, too. Luckily he seems like he's able to develop some semblance of patience out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
