CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Robert continues his torrid streak. Burger and Sheets combined for the Shurger Burger Bombs. Lance Lynn looked like he turned back the clock. 8-3 final score. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert OPS now at 906...paired with favorite for Gold Glove. 48 homers in just over 1000 at bats... lifetime 823 ops.

chitownsportsfan Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I was watching the hoops game after the first inning or so. Not that's I'm watching most innings anyways with this group. That said, from the box this was a nice win. Maybe keep it up for like 20 in 28 wins and I'll pay serious attention again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Great game to listen to straight through. This was Lance Lynn's second win this season. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN202305050.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I'm not an unreasonable fan ... kudos to Sox when they win. Once again when Sox play 'modern baseball' they do better. HRs. Nice bombs tonight. Robert turning into a star before our eyes; same with Burger. And the guy i've hated on, joe kelly, is dealing. And apparently Lynn is better than a DFA candidate. So nice win. If you are going to have as bad a record as the Sox, at least try to stay 'in it' by dominating division foes. Verdict out on that; Sox still can't play on the same field as the Royals. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Best game they played all year. Robert leads AL in homers. Nice turn of the double play by Anderson in the seventh. Shows what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Robert has been on fire of late. Great to see. Also, loving Burger being back in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of opportunities early to get to Bieber that they didn't capitalize on. The Guardians lineup is really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kids Can Play Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Kudos to Lynn, he turned back the clock and looked like the pitcher we traded for. Robert is fun to watch. I'm not sure there are many others right now in baseball who hit the ball as far and as hard as Luis. I know that was four games in a row for Robert with HR's, but let's not forget Burger with back to back games of a home run. Please move Jake up in the lineup.

But need to go 66-53 just to finish .500. A few guys in the pen have been better of late. Also wish guys other than Robert and Burger were hitting for more power. No power at 2B, SS, LF. Very little power at 1B and 3B. Edited May 17, 2023 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider slugging percentage the best indication of power (HRs are important but 2Bs and 3Bs are as well). Overall: 18th in The MLB Right Field an issue as well. The White Sox are leaders at two positions, mid level at three, and bottom five at four positions. 17th Catcher 18th First Base 29th Second Base 29th Shortstop 1st Third Base 26th Right Field 2nd Center Field 27th Left Field 17th Designated Hitter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
