fathom Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Alexei is 165th out of 169 candidates in terms of WAR according to fangraphs. Melky is next to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) Avi has to catch that ball. If he had a rocket in his ass he would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Either Rodon has a dead arm, or there's a big red flag tonight with his fastball velocity disappearing. Last start, he was 92-98 MPH. Tonight, he's 89-91, and those aren't sliders. Okay, now he's up to 93. Just not getting out of the gate with his good stuff...well, we know our first inning history this year.

caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Sanchez not familiar enough with the speed of that Texas infield.... That DeShields' double, who misplayed it? Eaton or Avi? Edited June 5, 2015 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The defense is always really horrible whenever Rodon is pitching. Not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 His slider velocity's only 85 too (usually it's upper 80's)...fastball and slider just not as crisp as usual. Got a K, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 12:29 AM) The defense is always really horrible whenever Rodon is pitching. Not fair. Samardzija and Q as well. In general, it's just been a bad defensive team, especially in plays not being called an error but should be made. I didn't see the leadoff double though.

caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Okay....just bad positioning and the typical Avi route to the ball apparently....nothing new there. 46-14 now in the 1st. Two sliders, two wipeouts. This should be interesting with Gallo. The early book on him is don't throw him a fastball over the plate, lol. Well, that could have been a LOT worse, but our defense gave up another "earned" run that it shouldn't have. Rodon missing up and down with the FB, not to the inside and outside of the plate. If DeMuth stays consistent with this smaller strike zone, it's going to be a challenge for Carlos to get past 5 innings.
