The Sox last 9 are against Minnesota and San Diego. I don't see how the Sox can catch and pass them. Need to go all out to pass the Guardians before those 6 games with KC. If we are behind the Guardians with 6 games to go, then it’s going to be very tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he needs to do to be a great player is stay healthy. Who knows if he'll be able to do it, though. Excellent? That’s a stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so what is he excellent or very, very good? look he’s a good player and may be our best player for many years. He’s got a long way to go though. He’s hurt constantly, what’s that saying.. the best ability is availability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Robert flat out isn't 100%. It is crazy that we keep yo-yo'ing him, a few days off, he comes in, back out, back in. Dude should have been put on the IL and let that be that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good you'd like to classify that is subjective, but his bat hasn't been an issue. We all know he needs to say healthy to eventually be a great player, though.
