Sure would be nice to have Alek Thomas as a LHH to play RF about now but the Sox deliberately passed him up due to their relationship with his father in, you guess it, strength and conditioning. JB Wendelken still hanging in there with DBacks as well. https://theathletic.com/3147254/2022/02/24/hes-going-to-be-knocking-down-that-door-soon-the-alek-thomas-era-of-diamondbacks-baseball-is-rapidly-approaching/ Luis Gonzalez and Mazara still hanging tough statistically. I wish San Diego was 75 miles south of LA.

June 23, 20223 yr Rodon starting off 3 0 0 1 5 against the Braves in ATL. Just 38 pitches so far. 2.72 ERA Edited June 23, 20223 yr by caulfield12

It'll be fascinating to see what Rodon's next contract looks like if he's able to stay healthy the rest of this season.

Musgrove is #1 currently, but I think Rodon is the one that would be the better bet for one of those Top 6-8 payroll teams that can take on significant contractual risk.
June 23, 20223 yr i hope Rodon pitches against us when we play the Giants and I hope he goes 8 IP with 15 strikeouts. I hate Rick Hahn with a passion

June 24, 20223 yr If they stay on the current schedule we miss Rodon by one game…he would pitch the day after that series…July 4th. Next start is at home against Detroit, Tuesday June 28th. Next Monday off day. And Thursday off day. He could theoretically pitch Sunday 3rd of July or it would be DeSclafini. Edited June 24, 20223 yr by caulfield12
June 25, 20223 yr Trayce Thompson back up with the Dodgers...along with Eddie Alvarez on their roster.
June 26, 20223 yr Keuchel pitching for the D’backs today. He’ll probably pitch into the 7th and give up 2 runs.
June 26, 20223 yr Keuchel 3 runs in 4 IP vs. Detroit so far… Cobb/Webb/DeScalifini would be the three against Sox over the weekend.. DeSclafini has been going so bad recently he might be dropped from rotation/IL/spot starter. Sunday would be regular rest from Rodon…off days on Mon/Thurs.
June 26, 20223 yr Keuchel had a pretty typical start. 4.1, 6 hits, 3 bb, 4 runs 7 k but it’s the Tigers
June 27, 20223 yr https://theathletic.com/3383798/2022/06/26/jorge-alfaro-nomar-mazara/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983 Guru working with past top prospects Mazara and Alfaro Edited June 27, 20223 yr by caulfield12
June 29, 20223 yr Mazara at 816 ops, second homer. Rodon dominating a tepid Tigers' offense. Yermin 1/4 with a single so far...
June 29, 20223 yr Rodon is up to 2nd in fWAR amongst all pitchers after tonight. It's going to be quite a battle to see who wins the NL CY this year.
