If you go just by American League teams, they are 13th/15th in Runs Scored. For Runs allowed per game, they are 14th out of 15, barely ahead of the Royals for LAST (5.47 vs. 5.46) If you look at their pitching fWAR for all of MLB, they’re 25th. Hitting, they are 20th (a couple of weeks ago, they were 14th)... wRC+=99 for 13th/30 Slugging 9th/30 (.417) OBP 22nd (.311) They’re not getting on base as frequently...and they’re struggling to drive in runners in scoring position, essentially, they don’t have a terrible or even bad offense, especially when you consider our stolen bases and how many sacrifice bunts we’ve wasted that haven’t led to runs scoring. This were the first things I looked at then noticed while these didn't correlate really with the runs scored. Slugging% is in the top third and OBP was still better than 8 but the runs scored is near bottom. So for whatever reason the are scoring fewer runs than what the typical predictors would say, even with the 2 game difference for some teams. Are they unlucky and should improve just with the variance or do they not hit at the right times? I don't know if it really means anything it's just interesting.

If he comes up and pitches well and we call up Stevens and Kopech, the second half of the season would be fun to watch. They expect Rodon up maybe next start.

I have tickets to Sunday's game, which would be Rodon's turn in the rotation as it would be 5 days since he last pitched in Charlotte. Covey is scheduled to pitch and no news has been announced about Rodon being called up, but man am I hoping. I would love to see his debut. If I were betting though, I bet they have him pitch in the next series. Him debuting at home though might draw some extra fannies to the park.

elrockinMT Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Rodon strikes out 8 in 5 innings today and allows two runs. Threw over ninety pitches. Think he may rejoin the club versus Boston this weekend? Edited June 3, 2018 by elrockinMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Beck hit 98 on the gun Sunday. 98. Either I mis-heard, or it was mis-reported. I had no idea he threw that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Remember all that "the White Sox traded for the wrong young Red Sox infielder", choosing Moncada instead of Devers? Devers, although still only 21, is at .1 fWAR with a wRC+ of 74 Red Sox really rushed Devers but I think it's clear the Sox made a good choice with Moncada. Moncada has proven he's a legit MLB 2B defensively. Devers has a lot of his future up in the air as it's not clear he's a long term 3B and will his bat play at 1B or LF?

It's going to be a really hard decision and a good problem at the same time if that happens. Moncada is +2.5 runs 100 odd starts at 2B. I'm hoping for a Zobrist like impact from Madrigal. Start him at three spots in the IF and corner OF if he can handle it and get him 130, 140 games a year that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
