We could always give him more than 5 innings in his first start in a year to say he's mediocre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that they won't be contending in 2020 per se, it is that if Rodon becomes the pitcher we all think he could be they can't afford to let him go for nothing. Sad, but reality.

Ducksnort Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know why Rodon wasn't announced as the starting pitcher for this game until just a couple hours before first pitch? It's was TBD for the longest time, when everyone pretty much knew he was starting today since like Sunday. They are always super secretive with Rodon, like they don't want anyone to know what his next step is. Seems like they are playing the same game with Hansen. I don't like it.

He has a history of falling apart in the middle innings like Vazquez did when he was here. This was a thing in 2016-17 as well. Someone also compared him to a LHP version of Rich Harden and when he's good, that is also accurate. When he was healthy he'd only pitch 4-5 innings most starts.

BamaDoc Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 97pitches probably done. Ok return. Two of the runs unearned. Take them away and we probably say looked great and he might have pitched the sixth. I hope as our guys gain experience, they also improve on d. The little things win championships.

I understand it is his first start in over a year that he is healthy. I can't talk about his performance in 2016-17 and what he needs to improve on? Again, I'm kinda salty that management has wasted 3 lefties with great stuff. (Sale, Quintana, Rodon) Frustrated that I can't enjoy him pitching in games that matter.

I just hope they get more for him than the Pirates did for Gerrit Cole. Hopefully they will just because he throws with his left hand. In any event, going to be frustrating watching him turn into an ace for another team. Imagine how Pirates fans feel watching Cole light it up for the Astros this year.I'm a pitching junkie too, so it hurts more for me. My favorite thing to watch in baseball is great pitchers being great. ☹️ Edited June 9, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
