That might work to justify a miserable Shields effort. Sox need Rodon to dominate.

ttommarello823 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Watching the game on MLB extra innings Indians broadcast. I hope their announcers realize these dominant pitching performances are due, in part, because they are pitching against the White Sox. They won’t be getting these results against the Yankees or a team that has real hitters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the cockiest crew I've seen for a team that hasn't won jack shit since Truman was in office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Jose continues to be very bad in the clutch. If I'm reading fangraphs correctly, he's hitting .182 with no homers in 27 at bats in high leverage spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets himself out being way too eager to drive in runs, Have to look middle of the plate there and he swung at the 2nd pitch outside off the plate. It's all about approach in those situations and knowing you are the man and being patient enough to know they would rather not face you and will more than likely pitch you that way.

greg775 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 There are a lot of guys who probably don't realize it, but are close to being done in MLB forever who play for the Sox. Engel, Thompson, Omar for starters. There are more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
