Rodon is at best a #3 on a contending team - if that

Peripherals are good due to his slider.  His fastball has graded out as a negative pitch.

once the scouting report catches up he'll need to adjust.

Power outage.

Cease is their best pitcher - tells you how far away this team is from contending unless there is an historic change in how this organization is operated financially

Are we going to do this Rodon velocity thing every start in every gamethread this year?

GB could not play dead with the Sox

Why even ask when you already know the answer?

Apparently. But especially when it's 39 degrees out 

Wait gordo is playing short??

And I see that the „How Don Cooper ruined Dylan Cease“ fanfiction has already been written.

I think people need to accept that this is Carlos now. Averages 91 to 92 on the fastball with occasional bump to 94. He hasn't been a flamethrower for a while now.

Rally Engel time?

Seems Corbin is doing just fine.

When you have an 80 pitch, you should throw it. The concern is health but if his profile stays like this and he stays healthy he's a #1. He's been nearly as exciting as yoan in terms of development this year.

He averages 92 this year. One mph less than last year which is right in line with his career average.

Velocity being a bit down in April is nothing unusual at all. ?‍♂️

Engel did something!

The obsession with velocity is odd. Carlos is having a great year with the heavy slider game plan since he has three sliders and people are ripping cooper lol.
