fathom Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:13 AM) Is Rodon really throwing all of his fastballs at 90-92 even in key situations or against their best hitters? Usually he dials it up into the mid 90's when he really needs a K. He came out of the delay throwing gas, but that inning looked like the tank was empty. Problem is I saw maybe 2 good sliders the entire night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 What's the MLB record for the most hits surrendered by a starter over over the course of 5 innings to still get the win? Rodon has to be getting pretty close...12-15, has to be somewhere in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In person, he's like a general or military leader...always in charge. But he's gone through cancer, a crazy minor league career in which he fought just to get one hit in the big leagues off Dan Petry (Dish)...he's just really standup and admirable. I knew back in 1995 he was going to be a big league manager someday, surprised it took him 20 years (and it required the revolution of "pitch frame" and "infield shifting" with the Pirates/Hurdle to get some attention and job interviews.) His favorite restaurant is Hooters in Augusta, lol. But a great family man...cool wife, has got it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
