3/30 World Champs @ Seattle

[Thunder]

I don't know how he's okay. That looked bad

[d-money]

Rodriguez needs to settle down and pitch.

[Oscars]

I said “started off” , not this is who he is for the season.

The knock on him has always been his lack of efficiency, let’s see if the leopard can change his spots .

Here’s hoping .

[d-money]

Get that offense going. Let’s go!!!

[TylerD]

First three innings have not been kind to our rotation.

[d-money]

Still waiting for that big inning.

[jung]

Apparently we want to do things the difficult way this series and get behind early. Frustrating.

 

Truth is we did this a good deal last year as well, especially late in the season. We came back a good deal against opponent pens. Thats in part why i was basically left on the edge of my seat all season long. So I don't see much of a dif frankly to this point other than that the Starters are struggling a bit more than they did early last year.

E-rod is working much faster; good to see. E-rod is still nibbling; not good to see. Edited March 31, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Really good point actually. I remember a ton of come from behind wins. Guess it doesn’t matter how you win games. But it makes for some high blood pressure.

[Station 13]

Betts with a catch.

[Thunder]

We need an opener, and then bring in our starting pitcher

Opener by committee?

[Oscars]

It’s been one inning of his 2019 season

 

86 pitches through 4 innings for E-Rod. That looks familiar for him

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I know it's early, but like I posted yesterday I don't understand not keeping Betts leading off and Beni batting 2nd. I guess Cora didn't feel the team won enough games last year.

Agreed with this. Doesn’t make sense to me. Regardless would be nice if our starters could pitch decent through 4 innings. Not that E Rod has been bad but sucks a lot of momentum out of a team playing from behind 3 games in a row.

We would have won 110 had Betts led off last year!

 

[d-money]

Have to keep this within one run. Sick of playing catch-up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You can Depends that Leakes won't be in the game much longer, so, hopefully, the SOX can feast on the Seattle BP.

[d-money]

Rodriguez has sucked tonight.

[d-money]

The mariners have looked great offensively against our pitching staff. Just embarrassing .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Forget my previous post. E-rod is just another example of the sparsity of quality pitching in MLB.

[d-money]

Spineless pitching from Rodriguez.

[Jasonbay44]

Why is he still in?

[d-money]

Why is he still in?

 

Because of our taxed bp maybe. Our starting pitching has been atrocious.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Spineless pitching from Rodriguez.

 

 

Sadly, I think we should all realize that that won't change.

The guy is what he is.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

E-nuff already.

[moonslav59]

This is why I avoid the game threads.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One would think that the rotation would be Sale, Price, Porcello, Eovaldi, and E-rod. Is Cora going to go L-R-L-R-L?

[TylerD]

Well. This sucks. I guess another comeback is in order.
