Walk after walk

Remember the first game in Milwaukee? We were all ready to blow it up, but the time we left it was a success.

Do you not think his stuff is ready?

I think his stuff is nasty...but pitching at this level is not just about stuff. There's plenty of failed mlb SPs with nasty stuff.

If we weren't in Oakland I might have a different tune and if we didn't have our two worst pitchers going the next 2 days

Does Oakland PR know what that song is about? Its fairly inappropriate.

I think it's pretty obvious that Rodon is on the major league roster because they want him working with Coop on a daily basis and they feel he's a better starting option than Noesi despite being an unfinished product. Let's give him a few starts before we determine he's not ready for the pros. His stuff is so good that he can still be effective even if he's a bit wild at times.

The walks are a new sad wrinkle, but ultimately I agree. Just come out of this place with a win.

More walks.

 

Didnt take advantage of the opportunities in the first.

 

Reddick is tough this year...the end.

And you can definitively say that? It's not all cut and dried. If he's facing a different team with a different umpire back there who knows what happens. He lost his control. I am not going to judge him on 1+ innings of struggling.

People have been discussing his control since last season. This isn't the first time he has struggled to locate. No one is saying the guy is a failure; we're saying he could possibly benefit from working on some things down in Charlotte.

 

 

Angel Hernandez really sucks

Sox opponents have no issue scoring on walks .

I think I'm one of the few that would like to see the younger guys get some shots this year. I think its time to build while we still have Abreu, Sale and Q under control. Avasail coming around is a bonus as well. I'd like to deal Alexei as part of this.

Another problem with this team is that there are just too many bad players on it...like Carroll. They cut the guy in December.

Honestly is there no one in Charlotte who can pitch?

Well, I am going to go get drunk. I'll still root for the Sox though.

Already halfway there. Shot a 74 on the golf course today, celebrated with mucho cocktails

Maybe it's because I'm watching the Oakland broadcast, but I don't have much of a problem with his zone from what I've seen.

 

Maybe the Chicago feed was making those outside corner pitches look like strikes to you guys, but they all looked like balls on the Oakland feed.

Except we don't

The Shark hate on this board is starting to get ridiculous.

Some for Rodon were questionable but nothing crazy. Typical rookie strike zone

Yeah, I generally agree...but with Rodon, I want them to handle him carefully.

You think Anderson is the SS of the future? I know you said you liked him the other day.

Still in the game but offense obviously needs to pick it up.

 

Avi not being selective in the first, imo, key at-bat of the game. Have to put pressure on the pitcher, not on yourself, with bases loaded and no outs.

Let me know next time you roll and I'll rack up 74 on the first 9. :D

Alright boys, time to score some f***ing runs. Been in this thread for 15 minutes and already sick of the negativity.

Yes I do. Maybe his stats arent there yet but I like him to replace Alexei and I feel like this is the time to deal him especially with better players coming on the market eventually.

Who? Thompson? Anderson? Sanchez and Johnson? Kevan Smith?
