Soxfest Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I do not trust the Sox on Rodon, something is not right and they know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Yikes, not very promising. Was hoping we'd hear he feels better by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I've pretty much written him off as a contributer to the rebuild. If he comes back strong great. If not, meh. Something isn't right in his shoulder, that much is obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The dude is just always hurt... I wonder if its come time to explore him as a closer or dominate andrew miller type reliever. Maybe he can stay healthy that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Braves made Smoltz the closer when he had arm problems. Smoltz closed for 3+ years before going back to starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a trust issue. Of course they know something's wrong, they put him on the DL. The issue is that they can't figure it out. Rodon pretty much said this.

Unless you somehow believed Charlie Tilson was the second coming of Ken Griffey Jr. No doubt. This is starting to look like a Mark Prior issue. Lots of problems, no answers and insisting his mechanics are good. although, I had issues with Priors taining and mechanics. The only issue I have with Rodon is still his lack of follow through.

He seems very upright in his last movements. He also looks like he throws across his body and his arm almost rebounds back during his recovery phase. His motion is not typical of someone who can generate the type of velocity he can. People have all sorts of odd mechanics. But it always amazed me on his stuff with the way his mechanics look. Hopefully everything is fine. Edited September 26, 2017 by southsideirish71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. in general, he doesn't use his trunk or lower extremities to dissipate the force of the pitch. All of the force is concentrated in the shoulder. This leads to inconsistent command and possible injury in the shoulder. There are odd mechanics and then there are that we can look at and determine they may put extra force concentrated in an area. This does not always lead to injuries but it can make you worry about it. His follow through mechanics seem to be coming more popular for whatever reason as you see more pitchers coming to the MLB with this.

After you've been largely absent lately, you come back and drop a bomb like this... I love you, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love you, man. Some bomb. It's more a teaser than actual info. It's like tune into the next episode of as the Rodon turns. It doesn't make the info get here any faster.
