Seater didn’t have a chance

So, Spring Training means nothing EXCEPT for Carlos Rodon because he's going to win the CY this year.

attaboy, might wanna get the pen warming up after the 4th tho, high pitch count and these are all high leverage

Which made it more frustrating that Rodon was so focused on 1B instead of their best player.

 

Looks great otherwise. 

DJ Speculated it may have been coming from the dugout.

Robert avoided another header

He's gotta get that ball if he can, Leury back peddling to catch it meant that Crawford can probably tag from 3rd and actually score.

He's hitting 98 with a 70 grade slider and showing good command. This is special stuff. Hopefully he can continue to harness this.

If Carlos gives you 5+ early in the season, that's not terrible.  More innings to stretch out Kopech.

Ive always liked Rodon so thats about all I got right now with this shitshow.  Hopefully it gets figured out.

I would love Haniger on the Sox. If they can trade for him tonight, do it.

I would bust my nut if he was playing for us.

Rodon for 5 and Kopech for 2 is better than almost any team will get from their 5th starter.

This.... *deep sigh* is clever..... I'll give you that. ?

man is this what a DH is supposed to be like, amazing

Rodon is dealing. Wonder if he had any substance on that 3,587 spin rate pitch.

Seager with the White Sox defense to help us out

Seager looks like he'd rather be anywhere but playing for the Mariners.

They are really taking atdvantage of Seattle’s wire cameras huh

NO BUNTS
