greg775 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I won't rip Robin for pitching Robertson. Guys, he must need work. Robin isn't a total incompetent. Obviously Coop and/or Robertson figured Robertson needed an inning to continue to be sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the game. 2 runs, 4 hits, 4 walks, 8 K's in 6 innings 108 pitches, 67 strikes he looked good judging by the box score (couldnt watch the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 QUOTE (Real @ May 9, 2015 -> 10:56 PM) 2 runs, 4 hits, 4 walks, 8 K's in 6 innings 108 pitches, 67 strikes he looked good judging by the box score (couldnt watch the game) Hard time commanding his fastball most of the time. His slider was nasty though and he jammed a lot of hitters which caused a few bloop hits. Not sure there were more then 2 or 3 balls really hit hard off him. But I think he only threw a slider and fastball. Might have thrown a changeup one or two times. He will need to work three pitches and get some better command on his fastball to be consistently successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) If he can't throw 3 pitches he needs to be in AAA. The clowning on the basepaths needs to stop. How many runs did A Garcia's caught stealing cost this team? We started that inning off with 4 straight hits and scored 1 run. Keep Beckham in the utility role - that appears to have been a nice pickup. It's when he gets over-exposed that he gets into trouble.

LDF Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 going into the the double header yesterday, i / we knew and hope for a better sox season, better than the one we all saw in the beginning of the season. i came to terms that the sox may be nothing better than a 80 win season. that is close to winning 50% of the games from here on. so why the harsh critique and anger of the team? is this a great team, well i am not going to fool you, but this can be a great beginning. baby steps, this should also include patience for the coaches and upper management and this is coming from me, who has the most hardest of opinions on upper management. this yr, so far, we as fans have had, a such a demoralizing test for our like of everything sox in baseball. it is hard to accept anything less than what was expected. for me, i have my interest in the draft and prospects of the sox. who know, maybe this team can still pull something out of the fire. so this is my rant.

It was an 8-2 game in the top of the 9th inning. There is literally no other time that would've been more perfect for his debut other than that situation. Let him get a feel for things. If he got into trouble, then bring in Robertson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he came in and got lit up? You would have had to use Robertson anyway. Plus the bullpen was taxed. If somehow, the game went to extra innings, who is available? Robertson needed the work and made it quick. Robin was right, the chronic complainers were wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) I don't get the complaints either. Beck was not called up to make his début, he was called up because of the Sox double header and needed a guy in the pen to take on innings so the Sox relievers weren't over used from playing two games. Beck was a precautionary measure and nothing more. Edit: Just looking around at the closers throughout the league and noticed how Robertson is behind most in IP which shows he's not been used as much as normal. We know this by watching games and looking at the loss column. Robertson needs work and Robin made the right call by giving Robertson the ninth.
