South Side Hit Men Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 A cherry on top of the 2023 season. https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2023/9/24/23887640/white-sox-luis-robert-jr-exits-game-with-right-knee-soreness Quote But Robert’s top goal of playing 150 games was in reach — he appeared in his 145th game Sunday — may now be in jeopardy after he left Sunday’s game with a sore right knee, the result of an awkward slide into second base on his 20th stole base of the season. Robert played center field in the bottom of the first and made a running catch before having his knee looked at by trainer James Kruk after the inning. He will be further evaluated Monday in Chicago before the Sox open a six-game homestand against the Diamondbacks and Padres to finish their season. Robert needs to play five games to reach his goal.

fathom Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 The last month, I’ve said the only way this season can get worse for the Sox is if he had a long-term injury. Just have to hope he’s ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to hope he’s ok. Trying to get 20-20 and losing him for half of 2024 would be pretty on brand for how these last two seasons have gone. Sad. Obviously it might be precautionary and he will end up being fine as well...but this year has been a total disaster since Hendriks and Clevinger in the spring. Robert was the one shining light. It's the Sox equivalent of Miami losing Tua. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Only the White Sox can see a disaster take place on a supposedly positive individual performance. The baseball gods continue, time after time after time to say, "Until JR is gone we're going to keep shitting all over you..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It didn't look too serious to me. Might be a couple week deal, though. Which would be a bummer he can't chase 40 HRs if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to see him get to 40, but maybe not getting to 40 (because of health) would keep him motivated to get to 150 games played next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a disastrous season where he was the only bright spot, he earned the right to go for some personal milestones. Obviously sucks that he got hurt, but hindsight aside, you gotta let the kid play out the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Wonder if the Sox will provide an update and bring up Naquin to man Center Field with Trayce Thompson to close out the season. Good Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky Stanky Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 At least this time the base he stole had meaning. Last time he hurt himself it was stealing third with two outs just to chase stats. Do they have a sliding instructor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Sox won’t play short handed for a year and a half like they would have with this scenario under Kenny Hahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Surprised they put him on the IL so quickly. Would have been a very Soxian move to wait until after this Arizona series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
