Looking forward to hearing what Coop has to say about Rodon after the game.

 

Somebody on Twitter tell @FollowthePadres that his name Rodon.

I really wish we could watch him.

Padres announcer, referring to Rodon after the third K: "This guy. Is. Nasty."

I love hearing that from opposing broadcasts.

I would kill for a stream of this game...

Avisail Garcia notably working the count to three balls before his "protect the plate" single. Progress!

It is the Gage-Man himself.

 

Also the Padres announcer just referred to JB Shuck as the "perfect name for country singer."

He is also making vocal love to the White Sox off-season, going down the list of all of the guy the Sox have brought in.

Padres guy refers to the Forbes article mentioning that JR is a billionaire after saying, "and why NOT spend money (this offseason)?"

Ted Leitner and Bob Scanlan are the Padres radio announcers.

My favorite part of that story was him asking Jerry what he thought the Bulls were worth after the Clips sold for a billion dollars, and Jerry telling him, it doesn't matter, I am not selling.

2 scoreless. Nice outing.

Is Rodon effectively wild with how he pitches or is he pinpoint putting the ball right where he wants it?

Not sure, there's no video stream today

From all reports he struggles with command on his fastball and at times his slider. That said, his stuff is electric and he doesn't need Cliff Lee's command and control to contribute this year. I'd be more curious as to what his fastball is sitting at. If it's 93-95, hell yea. 91-93 would be a little concerning, but it's early in spring.
