Rodon took one for the team tonight. Impressive effort overall

Wouldn't object to Rodon getting next start skipped if possible

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:15 AM) I don't know if it already is on here but Melky told Laz Diaz he was a bad umpire those pitches were balls to earn his first career ejection. Give Laz credit though, he could have rung up Melky on that check swing. He didn't and Sox got 5.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:13 AM) Is Rodon really throwing all of his fastballs at 90-92 even in key situations or against their best hitters? Usually he dials it up into the mid 90's when he really needs a K. He came out of the delay throwing gas, but that inning looked like the tank was empty. Problem is I saw maybe 2 good sliders the entire night.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:10 AM) Rodon's velocity looks fine, so I don't think he's hurt. But this is the second time this year where he's had absolutely nothing going into a start. It really just seems he's trying to hard to be a "pitcher" out there and isn't throwing his nasty slider enough. Almost all the damage this year has been on his fastball.

Whew!

Get Carroll up. Need to try and win this

He looks tired this inning.

He has nothing on these pitches.

Avi! Lawrie was flying

Soft tossing LHP vs Avi. Here's his chance

Wow!

Well we know Lawrie won't swing

Omg how was that not a homer

QUOTE (South Sider @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:38 AM) Rodon is young and learning... I'm not worried about him. Let him take his lumps while the team is good.. he will be better this year. I worry about his stuff being way down from last year. He really doesn't even look like the same guy without his big slider

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:37 AM) Well that lead ended quickly Seemed like momentum turned a bit on that Avi bad at bat. Had a chance to go up 5

Another 92 mph fastball. He needs to realize he needs to throw harder if his command is gonna be so mediocre

That was pathetic by Rodon. Didn't field his position as well

Resuming at 905

The Mondesi suspension isn't the one that is being appealed

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 11, 2016 -> 02:13 AM) Didn't see Rodon pitch but what is going on with him lately? Location? Mechanics? Velocity? Yes

QUOTE (Green Line @ May 11, 2016 -> 02:00 AM) Looks like the storms should be gone by 9-9:15 Too long of a delay to bring Rodon back

Still don't get why they started this game

How long this storm supposed to last

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 11, 2016 -> 01:43 AM) When you're a guy like Rodon who can K a lot of batters, but aren't K'ing any batters, you make your own luck. Teams put the ball in play way too much against Rodon, plus the amount of walks he has... this isnt bad "luck", this is a pitcher who doesn't look like a MLer. His K rate is fine
