If 90-91 is where he settles in, he's in trouble. I don't think there will be enough difference between his fastball and breaking stuff. Totally different pitchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Wow. much better velo this inning. He just made JD Martinez his b**** on a 95 mph fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does this a lot, where he starts in low 90s and then usually raises it after a homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 In what I’d imagine is an all-in year for the Nationals, they have no chance at a championship or even an appearance in the WS without Strasburg. I wonder what they’d give up for Rodon, assuming he stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what they’d give up for Rodon, assuming he stays healthy. If he starts performing, it is a decent option to have. Really like Carlos as a pitcher, but he's not going to be here when the Sox are contending, so if someone blows you away you take it and say adios. He is the Sox last major trade chip. If he establishes himself as a top pitcher by July 2019 would not be surprised to see him traded next year. If you're Hahn, and he pitches well to end the season, do you go to him and offer him 6/80? that is pretty much the only way he'll stick around. If he turns that down, then you put him on the block. He will have as much control as Sale did when he was moved with a worse track record. Edited June 9, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Really happy I rushed back from the mailbox to watch that Moncada at-bat. How the hell did they turn two there?

Jack Parkman Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Why the fuck does Coop ever have Rodon work at 92-93. He's much more effective at mid 90s and he gets hit everywhere when he tries to hold back. It doesn't work Coop. Stop it. Even before he was injured they did this and it infuriates me.
