Chris Welsh supported benching Luis Robert temporarily, noting Robert's early-season struggles and offensive slump. While highlighting that dropping Robert outright would be premature and ill-advised, Welsh agreed benching him short-term to avoid the early negative stats impacting fantasy teams is wise. He emphasized using the bench this way, specifically sitting Roberts for alternatives like Andres Gimenez or Junior Caminero, and explicitly mentioned the struggles coming as a disappointment given Welsh's own expectations entering the year.

Scott Reichel gave a scathing assessment of the White Sox offensive struggles, particularly highlighting their inability to score without Luis Robert in the lineup. Reichel noted Robert was absent and Chicago still managed only a single run, highlighting their consistent offensive ineptitude. Mentioning that Baldwin, a questionable hitter according to Reichel, inexplicably bats seventh, he emphasized the White Sox lineup is extremely weak beyond their top players. Reichel labels this White Sox team as potentially worse than last season and urged caution about expecting anything offensively from them going forward.
