ChiSoxFanMike Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Let's get back to winning at home against the overrated f***er who stole the Cy Young from Sale last year. Go Sox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Worried about this one. Houston's got a powerful and patient lineup, which will probably do well against Rodon's control weaknesses. Keuchel is struggling but he totally destroyed us last year. And of course, I can't watch. Can't we be done with Texas teams already? Alexeiyesss, I appreciate the unblock-us link but it doesn't support FireTV. So, bummer. Another stare-at-my-phone GameDay night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Nice 10 game homestand against not so great teams. I would be satisfied with 6-4, thrilled with anything better than that. I agree with these posts so far as well, it is time for Rodon to let his stuff do the talking rather than trying to ace those corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 The pitch to contact approach just won't work for Rodon like it does for Sale. In my opinion, he needs to stop being "pretty" and start becoming more aggressive like he was at the end of last year. If his control suffers a little bit, fine. But what he's doing now isn't working and he needs to change things up before it spirals out of control. For a young pitcher, confidence is everything. Carlos needs to have a solid start tonight to build up poise and a swagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston really worries me too. It's far too early in the season yet to throw dirt on a team with a s***ty start, just as it's far too early to crown those with a hot start.

SoCalSox Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Sox have a chance to get back on track here. Yes, they are 10 over but they are 5-5 in their last 10 & 7-6 in the month of May so far. This home stand is huge for them. If they can take 2 games in each, that'll leave them at 6-4 in that stretch & 30-18 overall. Really need to start seeing strong starts from pitchers not-named Chris Sale & Jose Quintana. Starts tonight with Rodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think FSD carries every Tigers game other than national games airing on Fox, FS1, ESPN, etc. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
