fathom Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hope he's just tired as Rodon's velocity way down. Given up homers on 90 and 91 mph fastballs. Like I have been saying, time to lower the pitch count for starters down the stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Definitely seems like Rodon's velocity fluctuates more than any Sox pitcher I can remember. If he's tired they should just shut him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's tired they should just shut him down. He's a guy that is definitely below average if he doesn't have his fastball going. Amazing his velocity can vary a good 5-7 mph in his starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yeah, Rodon needs to be on a pitch limit. 90 MPH fastball Rodon is way worse than 98 MPH fastball Rodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Anderson with another rookie mistake in the field followed by a SB and a Hosmer hit and a wild pitch.

Dick Allen Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Omar is in a bit over his head right now. Hopefully he can develop a bit. Right now he's a back up catcher at best with his best offensive weapon being a walk. If you are catching Rodon, you CS numbers aren't going to be pretty.

That average plummeted with more time. He still gives solid at bats, but unfortunately has no pop at all.

Dick Allen Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Omar was the 5th or 6th catcher in line this year, so the fact that he provided anything was a plus. But, moving forward, there really isn't too much to be excited about, other than the bar to be a halfway decent back up catcher these days is pretty low. The pitchers do seem to like throwing to him.

To be honest, KC really plays well against the central and bad against everyone else haha. They have a losing record against Cleveland but double digit wins against everyone else.
