9/1 @ Chicago White Sox

[jung]

Vaz back. Surprised that he would start this game.

 

I know I am not in line for starting a game thread. Game had started and there was not one yet. Thought folks would be interested in this game given the return of Vaz and E-Rod. Hope I haven't broken anybody's rice bowl.

Devers not called up, asked about it Cora said we are going to play our best players. We're here to win games - Sean McAdam

I guess I am not surprised at Cora's sentiment. Thought they would have a hard time seeing Devers as a post season 3rd baseman. But boy...this team is REALLY Right Handed from the batter's box now.

[OH FOY]

E-Rod is dealing.

[jung]

Eddies been eating his wheaties.

[OH FOY]

He was dominate in his 2 Rehab starts.

You did not break protocol.

 

Sox lost their previous game so anyone can start the game thread for this game.

[Spudboy]

Kind of shocked in a good way that E-Rod has started with 4 Ks.

[OH FOY]

He looking good!

[Spudboy]

Like, holy s***.

 

I am high. Is this really happening?

[OH FOY]

Lyons is right he is pitching at a quicker pace.

[OH FOY]

Devers just hit a 2 run HR for the Pawsox.

[OH FOY]

Too bad hit it hard too.

Eduardo Rodriguez and Carlos Rodon provide interesting comps as 25-year-old lefthanders with three more arbitration seasons after earning $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, this year as Super Twos.

 

This year the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Rodriguez has posted 1.9 fWAR in 19 starts. Entering today's game ZiPS, Steamer and FanGraphs Depth Charts project Rodriguez with rest-of-season WAR of 0.4, 0.3 and 0.3, respectively, in four starts.

 

This year the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Rodon has posted 1.2 fWAR in 14 starts. Entering today's game ZiPS, Steamer and FanGraphs Depth Charts project Rodon with rest-of-season WAR of 0.3, 0.3 and 0.3, respectively, in four starts.

Appears that gone is the E-Rod that works 1-2 counts to 3-2 counts and ultimately a walk.

[OH FOY]

Man!

[Spudboy]

Jesus.

So far.

[jung]

So far.

 

I always worry a bit when a guy gets deep into a game without pitching from the stretch even once. But then I worry about everything.

[jung]

Pretty obvious that the league has figured out how to pitch to the Sox. Now lets see if the Sox hitters can do anything about it. They have got some of our guys talking to themselves.

[OH FOY]

Both guys are dealing.

[OH FOY]

Holy CRAP!

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Who does EROD think he is? Audie Murphy? He's just mowing them down left and right!

[Spudboy]

Holy CRAP!

 

No s***!

[OH FOY]

Unreal!

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Forget Cy Rodriguez. He's Eddie Murphy!

[Spudboy]

All I can do is laugh. How else can I respond beyond smiling?

 

I just hope the Sox bats come alive at opportune times.

[OH FOY]

That's a HR

[Spudboy]

Nunez en fuego!

[jung]

Devers hero Nunez strikes.
