It's like the dumbest f***ing thing. Just because if worked with Sale doesn't mean it's going to work with Rodon. STOP FORCING A ROUND PEG INTO A SQUARE HOLE.  Jesus. Not only are they burning his service time they are putting high stress innings on his arm and he's not working on what he needs to work on against AAA hitters.  f*** this man everything this team does is stupid.

Condor13 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 2, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) Rodon quickly realzing the difference between AAA and MLB. With 2 strikes, MLB hitters can foul off 98 mph. Â I think you are totally wrong. He is a starter and right now is the Sox number 3 starter. HE IS NOT A RELIEF PITCHER. Noesi can't pitch out of the bullpen. He might be worse then me as a relief pitcher. Yet he is in the majors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodon has 2 and mediocre command. You need to let him be a starter and get into a rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I don't think the problem is so much using him as a reliever as much as it is using him in high pressure situations with runners on base. I think Stone agrees he should be starting innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are f***ing him up. He should be either in AAA or starting for the Sox. None of this pen bulls***. He has never worked as a reliever it's obviously too much to handle for him and who can blame him.  I'm blaming the Sox not Rodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it's the 5th inning but that was a high leverage spot. Frankly Duke would have been better. But you know, relievers have roles I guess god forbid Duke would come in before the 7th.

It's not going to matter if the rest of the team is playing dogs*** baseball like they are currently.  I don't see how pitching in relief is helping him work in his changeup and command though. Instead, seems like it's just allowing him to overthrow and rely on two pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
