Ducksnort Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) looked like lackey was out there jawing at rodon. What a tool Yeah at first I thought he was just angry at himself but then I saw Rodon say a nasty word, so idk if they were barking at each other or not. Lackey has anger issues anyway.

Jake Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 02:48 PM) Rodon is irrelevant. If our contention window starts in 2021, he won't even be here. Right now, we should focus on Moncada and Anderson, neither of whom look very good, at this moment. If we aren't contending by 2020, something has gone very wrong.

mmmmmbeeer Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Speaking of arm side, this ump's arm is going to be tired if Carlos keeps punching out Cub hitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at the very least, Rodon would be a pretty big trade chip. So being irrelevant couldn't be further from reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you have to expect that at least some of these guys will flat out bust, and others will take a more Avi Garcia route instead of a Kris Bryant route. 2020 is still really quick when you have a majority of these guys in the lower levels of the minors.

Yoda Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 01:55 PM) No spring training, was hurt and rehabbing most of the year. It will take some time, but he can be really good. No doubt he has the stuff to be a top of the rotation starter, I just think we're all disappointed with the results thus far since he pretty much is the ace of the rotation.

Dick Allen Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 This game is an L. You can turn it off now. Rodon isn't going deep. No way they use Swarzak, so gas cans only in the bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The home plate ump is really struggling as well. He is missing a ton of pitches. The strike three call to end the inning was about three inches further outside than the one he called a ball on the pitch before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
