I would be ok with a long rain delay. Not liking the sox mojo to start this game, maybe a couple hours will change things.

Not with a tired bullpen.

20 months ago Rodon was pitching in college games. Seems many here dont grasp that to move that fast into being an above average pitcher is very hard to do.

Having potential hall of famer Chris Sale do something very few pitchers can do has spoiled Sox fans.

Jackson is having trouble out there

Not with a tired bullpen.

Texas has a tired bullpen too. Ramos is their long man and the Sox bamboozled him last night.

The one hard hit ball so far was an out, btw.

 

 

Again, no disrespect to him...just observation. Yeah it's a hard job.

How long this storm supposed to last

What a joke. Why did they even start this game? Any prolonged delay and Rodon will be out, and we will have another bullpen day.

I'll take our bullpen against their bullpen though.

Scott Carroll vs their bullpen? Because that is what we got lol

To be fair, the Rangers used their bullpen heavily yesterday, so they'd be in a bit of trouble too.

 

This is why I like having Carroll. He can pitch 4-5 innings at a time without worry.

THE SOX WERENT THE ONLY TEAM WHO PLAYED 12 INNINGS GUYS

Good lord. Maybe the rain delay will wash out some of the hot takes in this thread.

But that game was yesterday and so are people's memories... Gone with the win(d)

Duke should be good for a couple. Albers for one. After that, pretty much just Carroll.

Still don't get why they started this game

Yea I dont know, those clouds didnt seem very subtle.

Looks like the storms should be gone by 9-9:15

Too long of a delay to bring Rodon back

Good, he wasn't headed for a quality start. Our bullpen > Theirs

Gonna be another long night.

6 hits already given up by Rodon? ugh.

Rodon just threw good enough to end the 1st inning with only 12 pitches and no runs and everyone is piling on him like he is pitching bad, wtf is wrong with some of you. That inning was solely the product of bad outfield play.

 

He gave up 2 hits, got a shallow fly ball and a double play ball.

 

If Sale did that everyone on here would be so far up Sale's ass they wouldn't know if it were night or day outside.

 

 

Not sure where you got 12 pitches but he end the first inning with 23.

At the point where the double play should have ended the inning

Didn't see Rodon pitch but what is going on with him lately? Location? Mechanics? Velocity?
