Was that a FB or slider at 87?

Rodon's a gamer but his arm is toast.

Is the gun just broken or is Carlos really throwing 87? That's prime Buehrle velocity.

That was a nice play by Leury. Gotta give credit where it’s due

Everyone who comes up through the minors as a SS takes the most pride in being able to play that position.

And WTF was Garcia doing?  That dude is the worst baserunner he reminds me of Gordon Beckham sometimes with his brain farts.

that bothered me way more than Engel. Adam was trying not to get doubled off of 1st, Leury rounded third on a play where he had no business doing so.

86.9 MPHk, holy shit he's hurt

88 on the heater.  yikes.

That was a fastball. His velo on everything is down today. He's not ready.

Fastball, sadly. I am concerned that his arm may not be right.

Statcast has him at the same, he's broken.

Hope he's ok. 

Damn ump went down and then bounced back up like a champ.

That was definitely an 88 MPH fastball, depending on how far the gun's off.

They had Anderson at 89-91 the other feed I was watching, which is pretty darned accurate.

If Engel was a good baserunner, there's no way he should have been out there.   He had to see that Avi was never going to get there with the entire play in front of him.

He's basically a really good athlete playing baseball.

It wasn't about Avi. It was about Hiura. If that's caught and Engel is doubled off, you'd say the same thing. He was fucked either way.

Dane Dunning, come on down.

Didn't Rodon basically have the capsule surgery?  That's a death sentence.

concussion check on the ump.

CONCUSSION PROTOCOL.

Maybe Rodon can keep warming up and find another 3-5 MPH on his fastball, lol.

the play is right in front of him as a MLB player he should get to 2nd there.

yeah...I don't get. He's tossing 95 one week...now 88?

when a ball is up that long you have to be close enough to get back,  not to advance.

Unless they juiced the gun the last time out and in summer camp, something's just WAY off because he was 92-93 consistently and up into the mid 90's, I think topping out at 96 or maybe even 97.

this is just batting practice, fuck, the Sox are straight fucked we have no starting pitching.

Why is Rodon pitching from the stretch with no one on?
