You can’t let him start his next turn in the rotation.

If that stuff doesn’t improve, he’s never going to be ready.

Wow, this is as bad as I’ve seen. No way is he healthy. 64 pitches, no whiffs.

I bet they would have made a deal if they knew what the postseason schedule was going to be

I would have been fine with that. Selling high on him would have been smart.

He’s nowhere near MLB ready. Definitely not ready to help in relief as well. Not good when DJ calls your fastball a change up

This is a tough series for the Sox. Reds have a lot more to play for right now.

Went back and watched it. He took a big hack instead of just trying to guide the ball. I love the call from Ricky.

39 pitches, no whiffs

That wasn’t Nomar’s fault.

Terrible effort by Madrigal on the hit and run

Good command by Stiever that inning

Tonight’s game doesn’t really matter. However, at least two of these guys got to get it going for the postseason.

This has been my belief for a year, but he will be used as a trade chip.

You’ve seen him with better stuff, right?

Slider just looks easy to hit. Not sure of spin rate, but it looks like the type that Robert would hit to the moon.

Stiever’s stuff looks awful. He’s not even close to what he was last year. I truly believe he’s not healthy.

The fangraphs chat today said he peaked at 96/97 last year.

I’ve seen him before strike out a ton of Cubs hitters on high fastballs and that slider. He will give up a lot of homers though.

He strikes out a lot of guys. That slider is good, especially against our sluggers.

Sounds like it was very close but didn’t want to replace EE

How dare you not include Cordero. With that said, I’m thinking Rodon is done for the season.

I’m bad at this, but with starting his service time now, does that mean Sox get 6 years instead of 7

Yep, the KRod loophole I believe

Did he miss the cutoff date for postseason eligibility
