The Doubles Machine

[markdublya]

For comparison, MVP candidate Derek Jeter has 37 XBH total so far this season. This is not a put down on Jeter who is having an excellent season, just to show how good BRob has actually been.

To be fair, you can't hit doubles in the Bronx, only singles and homers...

[Mike B]

Yes, that's all very nice, but he doesn't run out every single GB he hits. He's not a good player. And he's old. He's on his last legs. He may not make it to the end of this season, let alone the end of his contract.:laughlol:

Great Point, but Just think how much increased production we could get if Justin Turner was our second baseman.

[Dipper9]

This thread is awesome! Kinda makes some of us (me included) feel real silly for being critical because he doesn't run out sure outs, huh? :rolleyestf:

Keep up the good work BRob.

[Mark Carver]

How is Roberts going to break the doubles record... if he keeps hitting HRs!

[ShaneDawg85]

Go figure that we talk about Brian the doubles hitter, and how he's going to set career high's and possibly break major league records, and he has to go ahead and start hitting home runs. Why must you mess with a good thing Brian?!

[dhaze]

Seriously Brian, let it hit the ground first and then go over the wall

[PrivateO]

2 run home run to give the O's the lead.

5 HR's in the past 6 games for our leadoff, pessimistic, underperforming 2nd baseman.

Wheaties... must have gotten a new shipment of Wheaties in!

He chose to hit two home runs tonight for a change. I hate it when he does not do that more often.

The BRob haters must be having computer problems. Let him have a bad game, they will get the problems solved.

[PHRESH]

Someone should tell Roberts to stop hitting the ball so hard. He's not going to break any records with that HR swing.

There's method in his madness. He chose to hit HR's so he didn't have to run hard to 1B, the lazy slacker.:mwahaha:

[xKHx]

But how will he hit the next three years. Certainly Turner is the better player

[dhaze]

The pace has dropped to 61 doubles, due to his insistence on hitting homers

Currently 3rd in the AL in XBH and 2nd in runs.

Whats sad is we shouldn't even be able to make these jokes. He's arguably our best, most consistent and experienced hitter in our lineup. Yet he catches flak

He's obviously playing above his head. We should obviously trade him now. :wedge:
