April 6, 20214 yr Vaughn not taking hitting problems to the field and I think he's looking more comfortable at the plate.
April 6, 20214 yr Very fun and easy game to enjoy. 15 Ks was likely not expected today, but glad to have listened to the broadcast (beyond the few minutes lost to network issues. Also first game to watch live with https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/ , a most excellent website. Hopeful for another win tomorrow with Lucas vs. another LH starter (Paxton), hopefully Keuchel can pitch decent and they leave with a sweep. I expect this to be a one page thread.

Dude, you're like a sad little puppy dog, following your master around the house begging for a treat. Never said he was a bad player, said he was a bad fit due to the team's budget, existing assets when he signed, and too large of a contract over four years for a catcher in his 30s, especially in light of the various other older player signings (Parrot and Keuchel last year, Hendriks and Lynn if they extend him, plus Eaton who was a mistake). Tony La Russa and Liam Hendriks approve of this message. Edited April 6, 20214 yr by South Side Hit Men

April 6, 20214 yr I almost made a rage thread about how much I hate leury garcia, just looking at him pisses me off go Sox, let's sweep these clowns
April 6, 20214 yr Missed this game. Imagine my surprise to see a 0 on the board with Rodon pitching. Was this more of a defensive or lucky outing or did Carlos actually look like the guy we drafted?
April 6, 20214 yr did not see a pitch, woke up at midnight to a bunch of happy mlb at bat notifications. Yerm is nuts.
April 6, 20214 yr Carlos and Kopech were unhittable, Vaughn is a better LF than Eloy.......Moncada and Abreu were meh although Moncada got two hits late. Madrigal looking like defense is not a strong suit for him. Ruiz looking good as well.

Best fastball command I've seen from him in a long time, and he was hitting 97/98 at times. He looked like a completely different pitcher.

Madrigal looking like defense is not a strong suit for him. Ruiz looking good as well. Agreed. Seattle is not a good team, but there were a few jams and Rodon was composed and focus, and did not let Seattle back into it when in the past he may have. More comfortable Kopech will be permitted to reach 100 + innings, allowing him into the rotation next year. Will allow avoidance of a Lynn extension. Yermin and Grandal were solid. Would extend the Madrigal comment to its looking like MLB is not his strong suit, and another wasted CWS Top Overall Draft pick.
April 6, 20214 yr I was able to see a few innings of Rodon pitching, and he looked great. Command and confidence. He did a nice job with fastball location, and his multiple-speed sliders kept the hitters off balance. Anybody have money on Rodon being the best pitcher through one rotation of the starters? I can't wait until the Sox are done with this damn west coast swing. I want to watch an entire game.

If guys like Mercedes, Rodon, and Kopech are showing what they are going to consistently be then my tone will shift to a more optimistic side pretty quickly.

April 6, 20214 yr Rodon throwing at 98 was surprising to me. He looked very good for the 3 innings I watched.
April 6, 20214 yr Wanted to stay up for this one but I got my second dose yesterday morning. Was out cold at around 7. Glad to wake up to a win.
