Rodon needs to mix up his pitches and keep it in the strike zone area

 

Yeah I don't want to see him throwing many first pitch sliders. He needs to get ahead with well located fastballs so that slider actually makes them chase. Seems like hitters are just expecting it every time and laying off because he doesn't force them to expect a fastball.

And to think Houston could have had McCullers and Rodon in their rotation. Thanks again Houston and go Sox!

I have a feeling that this will be Rodon's breakthrough game tonight. I'm thinking 7 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 10 K.

 

Interesting matchup vs. the most three outcome team in the league

I hope he learned from Sale. Chris mixed in three pitches and showed why he is one of the top pitchers in baseball

Rodon really doesn't have the changeup there at all and last time I checked he's barely used anything pitch F/X classifies as a changeup all year (plus that could be pFX messing up classifying his slider).

 

He's basically a two pitch pitcher for now. If we wanted him working on the changeup we would have left him in Charlotte. The Change is something we'll hope he masters in a future offseason.

Who would have guessed that at this point in the season Sox 7 GB, Astros 6 games-up in their divisions. Amazing.

21-25 is such a s***ty start for the Sox. Even 25-21 wouldn't have been too bad.

Hopefully Rodon is a bit pissed about not being taken #1 and racks up Ks like crazy.

 

I also have a friend who is a Houston fan that hates the White Sox more than any other team, so it'd be amusing if Rodon slaughtered them.

Can't blame them
