Leury walking is such a rarity that the umpire had to note the date and time.

Sheets is seeing the ball well.

 

Safe

And the Sox are trying to hit into DP again. That ball should never be hit on the ground.

The second anyone gets on-base this team becomes incapable of hitting a flyball

lol chances with RISP have been brutal, Hernandez is killing this team

Hernandez just can't seem to hit the ball hard. You'd think that was hit at 95+ but it was at 92. The ball just does not jump off his bat.

His expected stats (unsurprisingly) are absolutely horrific with the Sox. There's no pop in his bat at all right now.

Got a fastball and hanger to hit and looked awful.  Seems he’s opening up way too early.

im wondering if his injury has something to do with it? @ptatc could his injury possibly be causing some issues even though he started out fine?

Welcome to the party we’ve been inviting you to for a couple of months.

his bat is so slow WOW

Hey. Pipe down. Carlos Rodon is starting and that’s all that’s important today.

Also seems like a lot of his damage this year has been on pitches below 91-92 mph

Doesn’t Merkin know that Rodon is starting and as such, that is all that’s important today?

Excuse you, Rodon is pitching. Cesar Hernandez and your gripes about him are not relevant today.

Carry on.

ok, los

 

Fuck off Haase. 

Sheets had a bunch of weekend walks showing he may have a future. Also good with the high fastballs.

Good thing they're gonna try to get the game in. 

Unfortunately this probably means Collins will catch Keuchel. Which will probably be disastrous.

Doesn’t ESPN understand that tomorrow isn’t real because Carlos Rodon is pitching? 
 

People’s gotta learn. Jee-wiz.

Carlos doesn't have the feel for the back foot slider yet. 

Carlos Rodon has taken elocution lessons. Nice one Jason.

Hey look an MLB team doing the smart thing to avoid rain. 

Missing way high with his fastball
