We'll See

Luis Robert Jr. hit the go-ahead two-run homer last night to propel the White Sox to a 5-4 win over the Reds in Cincinnati, and the team website is offering that Robert’s “season seems to be turning a corner.” Yeah, I’d hold on to that “seems” if I were the beat writer. Consider that Robert went 3-for-4 last night, which is nice, to raise his batting average to .236, which is sad. Now in his fourth big-league season, Robert has never amassed more than 380 at-bats in a year. If he can reach 500 with decent stats, then I’ll consider climbing onto the band wagon. Ditto yesterday’s starter and winner, Lance Lynn, who would’ve gone seven innings had Yasmani “Iron Hands” Grandal not dropped a popup in fair territory. Am I excited Lynn threw over 100-plus pitches in his fourth consecutive start? Not when you consider this was the first time in those four starts that Lynn won or that his record now stands at 1-4 with a 6.86 ERA. Get back to me when he wins his next three starts. Until then, we’ll see.
