Yep. It sucks cause that early season Rodon was so good. But anyone expecting that to continue for 180+ innings and into October we’re always in for a rude awakening. I was pulling for Carlos and still am, but was always of the mindset of ride him while you have him because eventually he’s gonna go down. Now hopefully he’s alright and can contribute in some way in October. But expecting him to go out there and give you 7 innings of 1 run ball with a bunch of Ks went out the window months ago. Nothing that happened today changed that.

We are. No way Hahn picks up that option at this point. He’s not getting $6M on the open market.

Side note - how TF does Sheets not make that play in the 8th? Dude is unplayable at 1B. Between him and Cesar it was pretty ugly over there. Cesar just keeps fucking up in the field and he’s swinging with a pool Noodle at the dish.

Running out of time to get into full gear tbh. Don’t really expect to see that. Just playing with some damn life would be nice. Tonight was disgusting.

Ummmm I highly doubt this is how most athletes wives feel lol.

Dudes struggling to get consistent at bats in aaa these days. He’s headed overseas.

For sure, but TA certainly seems to be a family man and I can see that fucking with his psyche. Bummed to hear that honestly. Hope he’s able to clear his mind.

Haha yeah I’m just joking around. Grandal is a stud and was quite literally the best fit for this ball club when they signed him.

Ok we’ll keep dreaming about early season Rodon returning dude. It’s not happening and never was. Sorry bud.

Woof

Rodon hasn’t thrown over 5 innings in 2 months. Hard to dominate anyone doing that. Things weren’t suddenly changing at the snap of some fingers once October rolled around.

What issues are you guys referring to??? First I’ve heard of this.

Be careful with such a ringing endorsement of Grandal. There are still a contingent of posters here who thinks he is terrible!

+1000000. Honestly, I’m just ready to move on from Cesar. Dude sucks. He adds nothing. With Engel back, just let Leury play 2B. At least he plays with some fire.

What personal problems is TA having?

I am well aware of now they’ve played since the ASG. Obviously having a pitcher who looked to be the Cy front runner the first 60 days of the season is incredibly valuable in the postseason. What I am saying is that (version of) Rodon isn’t taking the mound again this season, and that’s been the case for some time. This doesn’t really change much.

Rodon hasn’t surpassed 5 IP in a start since a few days after the ASG. This should be of no surprise to anyone. Anyone that was actually still thinking we’d get April-June version of Rodon was dreaming. Plenty of SP left on this team. Hope Carlos can contribute in the playoffs but I certainly wasn’t counting on him for some time.

Bump

Ehhh. I don’t know about that. Pretty obvious we weren’t getting the early season Rodon anyway. Giolito, Lynn and Cease still pretty darn good 1-2-3 punch.

I got laughed at for saying decent chance Heuer is better than Kimbrel rest of 21. He has been. And it’s not really that close. Brutal trade.

Yet someone is gonna hand this dude $120M? Lol

I think you’re getting just a tad ahead of yourself. Leury is still just a 3 fWAR player over 2000+ PA. I don’t think anyone is paying him handsomely in free agency, and I think he’d love to stay with the Sox. We’ll see how it shakes out. Hope he sticks around tho cause he’s useful. I’d probably pass for over $5M AAV tho.

I’m on team Leury at 2B in October.

I’d take the under on $5M AAV. But lol At “not a chance” at $7M and then you quote $1.5M AAV higher hahaha. Obviously that real money to you and I, but basically nothing in the scope of a big league team.

There is next to no chance Leury isn’t on this team next yeS. My guess: 2/$7M early in the offseason will work for both sides.
