It’s not that Luis Robert Jr. is dogging it. He’s not even mailing it in—it just feels like the White Sox ecosystem has emotionally cooked him, suffocating yet another highly talented player.
When you take a look at pitching leaderboards from the 20th of May to today, most of the top ten names are the usual suspects. You’ve got Ranger Suarez, Paul Skenes, Framber Valdez, Tarik Skubal, Zack Wheeler, Andrew Abbott, ADRIAN HOUSER, Jacob deGrom, Yusei Kikuchi, and Clarke Schmidt taking up the spots.
