A LOT better.  If they win they have a chance to take two of three and we can hold on to the slim hope that they're still in this thing.  Another loss tonight and things will look mighty bleak sending Sox Nation into an emotional tailspin and the hope for summer baseball fun will be just about over.  Just win tonight, I don't care how!

He seems to be having the Rodon issue where he's having a hard time getting loose pregame.

He’s hitting 95 pretty consistently so not sure loose is the problem tonight. I think it’s more that he has a high leg kick and bit of violent delivery that he needs to settle in a groove with. Find a consistent release point with his mechanics

They beat the piss out of the Twins last season.

I think it's as simple as him being too amped going into these starts.

His last start against LAA was shaky, to say the least.  He had to cover the bag (which he messed up) and, all of a sudden, sailed until his final batter.  I think that run to cover first settled him down, got the blood flowing and caused him to breathe.  Kind of like how some QBs need to get hit before they settle into a game.
