I think he was just dialing it back trying to get control. It didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has been trying to pitch with a balky shoulder since he had surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This game is likely over. Weve missed 3 pitches by a foot so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Lol this game is over. That approach with Snell is looking for a CG, maybe Alvarado at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Ha, I just remembered we are facing blake snell and have maybe a 2% chance of scoring 3 runs, let alone however many are going to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 It appears 4 seamers that hit 96 in the zone, mixed in with offspeed stuff is a more effective way of getting hitters out than 90-92 fastballs out of the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneDog847 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Snell today, Morton tomorrow, and Glasnow on Wednesday. What's the over/under on runs scored by the Sox in the entire series? 4 and a half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 You cant have just a 90-92 fastball and slider and expect to be successful. Rodon seriously has no other pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 If the Sox had the Rays FO there's no doubt in my mind they would be dominating the ALC currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 You'd be insane not to sit on his 88 mph fastball. He has to go all slider until they have to swing at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodon seriously has no other pitch? Rodon is seriously looking like a bullpen arm at this point. What he has will work in the bullpen, but what he has most definitely will not work as a starter.
