Great inning by Rodon. Need 2 more. Surprisingly low pitch count for 5 runs and 10 hits

What changed there Carlos ???

Shades of Justin Verlander and Bartolo Colon, lol...

 

Getting stronger as the game goes on. He has that physical build. Typically the scouts described him as a "horse."

Coop: Carlos, Your command isn't good enough tonight to pull a Sale. You have the stuff, use it.

Rodon: OK Coach.

*Has 1-2-3 inning*

Coop: See?

If Rodon is gonna throw 98 and locate it let him go another 2 innings.

Surprised how many people are there

If you drove 75 miles (only a slight exaggeration) from Garland you're staying.

Danny Almonte in the LLWS was throwing harder than this...granted, he should have been ineligible at the time.

 

Whatever happened to that girl, Mo'Nae Davis?

Minus the fact that they could hit, made the playoffs, have one of the best farm systems in baseball and pushed Toronto to the edge of elimination.

Their pitching is really bad though, all around bad.

I'm with Stone. He's safe.

Bannister would have challenged that call at first.

uh, why didn't they challenge? it's almost the 8th inning anyways.

They'll be fine when they get Darvish back.

 

I watched him pitch in Round Rock last week and he was hitting 95.

Because he was out.

Yea, hopefully Robin keeping the challenge in his pocket buys the Sox some borderline strike calls.

Rodon has found his velocity all of a sudden.

What got in Rodon? He needs to keep the 94+ fastballs

Rodon's walking around out there like he's got steel balls. I can get used to seeing him throw 96-97.

Carlos is gonna frustrate the s*** out of us this year, isn't he? Hopefully he does well enough to pitch him third in the playoffs.

This is the first game thread I've checked this year and it starts with Caufield referencing the velocity of a little leaguer from almost 15 years ago.

Umpire just missed two strike calls. One of them was a very clear strike. Considering Claudio is getting extended corners that's total crap.

 

Not sure what's gotten into Carlos but suddenly he looks like electric Rodon again.

First mistake I have seen him make tonight really. Been one of the better umps we have had this year

good throw gets him.
