The offseason rantings of this board that I railed against are all coming true. 

Apologize and the baseball gods will take mercy on us!

All of a sudden at 35 pitches through two which isn't really that bad.

Even Billy Hamilton hit a ball over 100 MPH... The Sox have been completely teeing off on Sheffield.

Some big hits are coming soon enough, it’s just a matter of time when facing B & C tier left-handed starters.

Some many on this board were RIPPING into Rodon when he was signed. Awfully quiet tonight.

Nick needs to hit over .300 for how he's been in the field

You have to let go of the idea that anyone knows what they’re talking about. 

Has Nick had an XBH yet in the majors?

Rodon has looked very sharp. Also, was that an error by madrigal in the 1st or just no man's land?

This Mitch Trubisky comparison you’re trying to make is truly bizarre...they were nothing alike as draft prospects.

The process, tunnel vision, overvaluing a player when superior options existed.

hey, luis let the first breaking pitch go

Which ones?

Other than Rodon all of them,   lack of bat and bench depth, a starter to challenge Cease, TLR seems not be adding anything either.  Relying on Leury Garcia to play daily and relying solely on youth progression to make up for shortcomings.

I definitely wouldn't swap him for Quintana or Richards right now. The front office seems to have gotten this one right, so far.

Heck of an at bat

Nice Take!

Nice take Luis! 

Holy cow....Luis took a low and away offspeed pitch...

Good take Robert.

Robert has great at bats and horse shit ones, wtf.

wonder if they'll run him

Best at bat of season for Robert

To be fair it’s been two innings.  I like what I’m seeing so far, but it’s way too early to draw any real conclusions.

Sheffield leaving some freakin meat over the plate here...
