Robles had 17 homers in 500 or so at-bats during the 2019 season yet he currently has only “1” homer this year as he approaches 300 at-bats.  What the heck happened to this kid???
Robles often seems tentative at the plate now with a terrible approach repeatedly slowing his bat speed down when reacting to pitches he wasn’t expecting causing slow ground outs and lazy fly-balls - “especially while in favorable hitter’s counts”. He needs to put his good swing on it even when fooled by the pitch. Don’t give away an out for simply strike-one or strike-two.
Agree with most here on Stevenson - if the offer is still on the table, trade him for that bag of waterlogged baseballs before it’s too late.

Well. Ruiz has been assigned to Rochester, so he won't be replacing Rivera soon. Too bad. I guess he splits games with Adams.

That’s a good inning for Suero actually. Just two runs.
:hysterical:

Suero is our secret weapon to obtain higher picks in the draft - extend him!

The Finnegan experience is nice so far.

I think Yadi learned that swing from Soto.

How high was that shot? That looked like a 90 degree launch angle.

Call me loco but I think wins like this are important. Keep fighting, keep the clubhouse morale, then let's attract some free agents in the next few years to mesh with the young guys.

Never going to move up in the draft order this way.
