8/4 vs White Sox

[mvp 78]

Rodriguez vs Rodon

[Slasher9]

3 down 7 to go for the 10 game streak

Win.

Dance.

Repeat x 4

Rodriguez needs a good game. He pretty much has been awful since coming back from the DL.

Yes. 2 games to regain is enough.

 

Time to shine.

 

Let's hope our bats keep the pressure off--just in case.

I think anyone who expects big things from ERod now or in the future is fooling themselves with wishful thinking.

 

The kid is a f***ing hammerhead. He has a limited repertoire and no wipe out or put away pitch.

 

He throws way to many pitches and can not go deep.

 

He has what could be a career altering and maybe ending damaged knee that will always be a concern even after he gets the knife.

 

Benny Boy gave up Miller for a young starter with upside. Three years later he has not pitched a good full season and appears to be more concerned with his haircut that his curve ball.

 

He is a number 4 or 5 until this team jettisons his ass.

It was a good trade for ERod. If Ben wanted, he could've re-signed Miller that offseason.

I agree that if Ben had required Miller at the end of the season it would have been a good trade.

 

One could say the same thing about sending Lester to Oakland if he had been resigned as well.

 

The Miller trade is better than either the Smith or Thornberg trades to date.

 

But ERod has contributed very little and it is MY OPINION that he is nothing more than a tease and will end up being a drain for this team.

 

It's okay in one way. Every team needs a 5 or 6 starter. That is what he will be.

Friday night! Unable to watch the game as I will be out but hopefully their red jerseys bring them luck tonight in a 4th straight win.

[TylerD]

Fun fact.... I have yet to see a game where the Sox play in their alt jerseys...... That is all.

Whether they re-sign Miller or not is irrelevant. You do that trade any day of the week.

Who has time to go out when there is baseball to be watched???!!!

[Kimmi]

Sox and ERod for the win!

[Bellhorn04]

Let's go!

[d-money]

Would love an early lead. 16 pitches for ERod in the first inning.

[d-money]

That was too damn quick. I hope Rodriguez has good stuff

[d-money]

I am so sick of Xander and his field issues lately.

[Spudboy]

He is looking more and more like Jeter every day.

 

That's what he wants, right?

[d-money]

Can't get the offense going early. Yankees losing early 2-0

[d-money]

Come on rodriguez. Get it together

[d-money]

Cannot do anything against rondon

[d-money]

Leadoff double nice.

[d-money]

f***!! Rodriguez giving up too many doubles

[illinoisredsox]

Rodriguez needs to stop trying to strike everyone out and locate in the strike zone. Everything's is max effort all the time. That's bullpen mentality.

[Station 13]

Bad call by ump. We'll take it.

[d-money]

This offense has to f***ing get going! Too inconsistent

Rodon is pitching; Rodriguez is throwing. Up, down, in, out and almost nothing that one would hit hard.

I've seen ERod throw five different pitches tonight---4 seamer, 2 seamer, cut fastball, slider, and changeup. Not bad. The problem is that the only pitch he trusts when he absolutely needs a strike is that fast ball, and, just to be sure, he goes for the middles of the strike. He throws the slider and changeup very sparingly. The first inning, I think he one non-four-seamer (93 mph). And all three Chicago hitters in the first hit the ball hard but were outs.

 

The error by Bogaerts didn't hurt except for elevating the pitch count.

[d-money]

No f***ing offense tonight

Dude has pitched well lately but the guy has an e.r.a over 4.

[Spudboy]

Another misplay of a ball off the wall by Benni. It was of no consequence but he needs to at better at this soon.
