If Rodon can get in rhythm earlier in games he is really going to be a badass

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:59 PM) To me, he's easily the 2nd best hitter we have right now with Avi out. Love his stance changes. I hope when Cordell is off the DL they put him in left and Leury in CF

Welcome back Leury. Would be pretty awesome if he is real

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) Yea if you go by the pitch tracker on WGN I've seen pitches high , outside and inside that showed as balls called strikes for Tomlin. That one to Abreu was ridiculously outside, I know the Sox players are bad but Tomlin shouldn't have a no hitter going with ton of K's . It hasn't been consistent at all either, and Rodon has thrown multiple strikes in pretty key spots that have been called balls.

Engel has looked lost since right before the ASB

If Saladino could hit like last year he would be an extremely serviceable 3rd basemen with that glove

Jesus this game needs to be sent somewhere for reviewal against this ump, Anderson actually showing control of the zone and gets rung up on a ball 6 inches outside

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:33 PM) Passive approach leads to easy K again for Moncada. He doesn't seem to be able to catch up to anything with velocity above the waist. Yeah I'd like to see him be a bit more aggressive. The balls he fouls away he seems so quick but when he swings and misses I agree with you

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) Yep, quite impressive. Great to see Steve said he was checking his hand early, wonder if they hit him up with some spray or something to soothe a blister

Rodon dealing some heat right now

97 from Rodon. Gotta love that arm

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:17 PM) Yep, he's taking strikes and swinging at balls. Would be pretty nice if he could just get that OBP up around the .320 range and play passable defense but I don't know if we'll ever get that from him

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:05 PM) I am afraid that Davidson is regressing. He has struck out Like five of the last six at bats. K-man To me he seems to be looking at more pitches but he has been late on a lot of swings

Good inning for Rodon

Ump needs to go to AAA and learn the strike zone

Lindor doing his best Anderson impersonation

Saladino, what a play!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 11:46 AM) Good thing for the Blue that Hawk isn't calling the game He's definitely been extra grumpy this year

I'd expect this against this line up against Chris Sale, but Tomlin, really?

Umpire alone has probably added 6-8 pitches to Rodon so far

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 11:37 AM) My god this ump sucks Same guy that cost Davidson the HBP and then called a strike on his next AB after a very clear check swing

1-2 count becomes 2-1 after ump misses clear strike, again

Yeah if I'm Renteria right now I'm chewing this ump out. 2 pitches easily could have been called strikes there that were closer than a couple of tomlin called strikes

Tomlin strikes out the side

Leury returns with a K. Strike 2 was a ball, however. On first glance, Rodon getting squeezed and Tomlin getting anything close called
