First base

Combined with Rodon having very average to below average stuff, and the Reds can't find the plate.

Baseball, funny game.

I think Rodon with diminished stuff would still do this to a lot of lineups. He's still been really effective since the shoulder issues started popping up.

I'm gonna guess this will be Rodon's last inning no matter what.

The only start where he hasn't looked good was against the Tigers, but that was cause he couldn't throw strikes and Detroit didn't swing at any of his sliders.

roberts is a plus fielder and has potential to be special...

but to this point is he misses too many balls to be considered great

He makes up any deficiencies with his bat, and not having Goodwin in his place.

I hope Tony doesn't try to get Rodon a win here if he gets into more trouble. 

Seems like Yas has been able to secure a very favorable zone for Carlos tonight.

He has not shown good D at first with the Sox.  

They finally didn't hit a ball at Robert.

Neither has Vaughn really. Jose is just so dependable over there. 

Kopech warming 

Pitching to contact, nothing wrong with that, Rodon!

Inning over 

Nice outing for Rodon. Stuff was very meh but the results were real good. 

Nice line by Rodon but hes fighting something

Ok Carlos take a seat you are done for the evening . Really nice job !

We all know stuff is important but throw strikes and keep them off balance means more. He out Keuchel'd Keuchelwith a change up instead of a sinker.

Gavin and Vaughn will platoon at DH in the playoffs.   

Leury and Engel in RF.

I think Cesar gets a shot at 2B.

Rays up 6-0 in Houston

Tim is swinging at just about everything against Gray

Good point.  He definitely out-Keucheled Keuchel.  That can eat some playoff innings for sure as a worst case.  Feel bad

Damn the Sox have an incredible core of young talent right now. They say the peak years for a baseball player are 25-30. The Sox have 13 guys within that age range who are major contributors. 

I think this year is the start of a 3-4 year window where they can seriously contend for a WS title.
