Lol I just said I hope he doesn’t need Tommy John literally 2 days ago. Hope I didn’t jinx him
-
Another RBI basehit for Luis Robert in the meantime.

If he does end up needing Tommy John, we will definitely blame you.

Boo.
This postseason thing has been killing me over the last several years...
No denying his talent, though; I just want my A's to get past the first round

@raesONE said in Luis Robert:
Just smoked one to Jupiter from Oakland, CA. Rookie of the year. And oh yeah, Garrett Crochet is dealing.
Crochet is a stud. And Robert isn’t winning ROY. SDS will probably give him a 99 postseason card though.

Oakland is making a bit of a push here, this is now a very good game.

Yes that could have been a lot worse, however the White Sox have now used 6 pitchers through 4 innings. Whats the plan here? Are they going to use all of their bullpen arms?

I like it. All or nothing baseball, win or go home. Just hope they don't run out of arms before the end of the game.

The A's have now loaded the bases 3 times in 5 innings, White Sox are playing with fire here.

Shame this game is taking so long, it's almost midnight here and I have responsibilities in the morning.

Sheesh... made that one interesting. Those Sox will be back in it next year, and likely for a while after that. For now, though...
Lets-go-Oak-land!

So Oakland Vs Houston? Go A's

Based on that homer I suspect we see his card go straight to diamond. At the very least he'll get a special 99 free diamond for hitting a long bomb. #2020Robert4presidente

Ha. I said earlier I expect the three 9th inning bosses to be retro future star John Smoltz, 99 postseason Luis Robert, and some Padre.

I mean to be fair about all this Luis Robert hype compared to Kyle Lewis, it's not only an SDS thing, it's basically the entire baseball world besides Mariners fans and people who actually look deep into stats.

Ha. Luckily you can probably put sports writers in there as well. I’ve seen 7 or 8 postseason awards prediction lists the last few days and every one of them had Lewis winning ROY.

The guy who thinks Kyle Lewis is going to win AL Rookie of the Year is funny.
Luckily for the rest of us, the people that determine the award don't just box-score scout and actually watch the games. Luis Robert will win because he was also an elite fielder, something Kyle Lewis was not.

And yet, even with the admittingly just below average defense, Kyle Lewis had a higher WAR because his offense was that much better.

Now THAT was funny.... I needed that laugh.
