there's a number of times this spring that he's looked like the guy we drafted

Keith Law said the same in one of his chats recently.

Most of us would have been satisfied with a 2-2 series split with Cleveland given what we saw with the pitching matchups and the Sox history with Clevand. Sox are winning this game, and with TA back tomorrow, I think they have a good chance at winning tomorrow as well. If they take 3 of 4 from Cleveland, that would be HUGE.

I don't know if it's crazier to see Rodon hitting *97* again or to see him dropping in a change-up for strikes like it's nothing... This is the best I think he's ever looked since the Sox drafted him, right?

I think it is.  I know small sample.  Still very encouraging .

yes i did

 

wait, what

Rodon is always about health never about stuff.  Guy just hasnt been able to stay healthy. 

I would recommend to Collins to try and catch with the hand with the glove on it moving forward

His stuff declined considerably when he was dealing with his injuries. At times he was down to 91. 

I'm beyond shocked he still has 97-98 in him after a shoulder surgery and Tommy John.

15 up 15 down, lets go Carlos!

Would be awesome to see a perfecto here

Does SoxTalk have a curse for the first guy to mention it? Or is it only the broadcasters. Not saying it.

Well if he doesn't get it, I blame TRU.

I didn't get to watch the first 4 innings. Was Plesac just leaving everything down the middle in the first? It feels so good to finally beat him up.

I only said it because I like how it riles all the nerds up. 

I remember reading this guys posts about Rodon's mechanics leading to his injuries. I don't know if he was right but it looks like Rodon has gotten rid of that twist in his delivery.

Did Robert just dog it to 1B?

There are certain times, when it behooves you to have 'fast' innings at the plate, especially at 8 to nothing...

After reading how extensive some of the changes are that Katz wanted Rodon to make, it wouldn't surprise me if he's not the only person who thought that.

The same as any other player that hits a routine groundball to second base
