May 22, 201510 yr Bruce Levine @MLBBruceLevine 10m10 minutes ago Chicago, IL Carlos Rodon skipped for next start Monday . Ventura says next start for him is a private matter right now . No health issue
May 22, 201510 yr Author Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 15m15 minutes ago Hector Noesi likely to start Mon in Toronto. #whitesox
May 22, 201510 yr Lovely...more Noesi or Carroll starts. Oh, well. They need to get that fastball control and his change-up going. There's no argument about that. Maybe taking a breather and step back for a week will help, but he's such a competitor I'm sure it won't be easy for him to watch from the sidelines. One concern...not having any type of regular routine or structure/defined role might be counter-productive when all is said and done.
May 22, 201510 yr Makes sense, we all knew this would be happening during the year. Better than just shutting him down in August

Better than just shutting him down in August On the other hand, it's another May or June game likelier to be a loss...leading to no opportunity for meaningful games in August or September.

Better than just shutting him down in August Seems surprisingly fast. In the bullpen for a couple weeks, gets like 5 innings, gets 3 starts, goes long in 2 of them and short in the middle one, and then skipped. 3 starts then a skip is surprisingly fast to me.
May 22, 201510 yr How they expect him to get into any sort of rhythm or comfort zone is beyond me at this point.
May 22, 201510 yr Sox have so many games coming up, I do not see this as a big deal. Edited May 22, 201510 yr by Soxfest
May 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2015 -> 04:51 PM) How they expect him to get into any sort of rhythm or comfort zone is beyond me at this point. This year is a learning experience. Missing a game or two is unlikely to have an impact on his long term potential. Ruining his arm on the other hand...
May 22, 201510 yr Actually wait a second, the double header is next week right? So if Rodon is skipped on Monday, he's on extra rest when the DH happens, and they can use their top-6 starters next week with the guy they call up in the bullpen rather than doing an emergency start? That actually...kinda would make some sense. Save Rodon for the DH in Baltimore, start Noesi beforehand and then you aren't forced into a situation where Beck *must* take a start.
May 22, 201510 yr Beck is starting tonight. I bet anything he'll be the 26th man next Thursday and get a start.
May 22, 201510 yr I think rather than go crazy folks I will defer to the Sox management on the decision
May 23, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 22, 2015 -> 06:36 PM) Beck is starting tonight. I bet anything he'll be the 26th man next Thursday and get a start. I'd totally bet he gets called up but Rodon gets the start.

Whether the Sox lose this game in May, June, August or whenever doesn't matter. He only has so many bullets this year.
May 23, 201510 yr Seems like his comfort zone is walking a ton of dudes and putting stress on the pen, so....
May 23, 201510 yr The White Sox are absolutel geniuses with pitchers so I suspect this is just more geniusing. Nice job boys!
May 23, 201510 yr No biggie. I wish they'd send him down. It's like he's on the team, but really isn't. He hasn't been overly impressive, either. His stuff hasn't been explosive by any stretch. I despise Noesi and am not a Carroll fan, but can't we pick up a Chen type off the scrap heap and have him be No. 5 this year. SEND RODON DOWN for proper seasoning.
