No knuckleballers today! (Knuckleball kinda sounds like an S & M thing, maybe that's what made the Twins intimidated by it.) Young, handsome (because young) BoSox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez throws a pretty hot fastball, change, and slider; the last is something of a work in progress. Digits are for Rodriguez's career, as this year he's made only two starts:
ERA | H/9 | K/9 | BB/9 | HR/9 | OPS v L/R | BAbip | FIP | |
Gibson | 6.10 | 10.5 | 4.8 | 5.2 | 0.9 | 1.010/.712 | .297 | 5.35 |
Rodriguez | 3.98 | 8.8 | 6.8 | 2.7 | 1.1 | .780/.692 | .282 | 4.82 |
Kyle Gibson returns for the Twins. (His digits are from this season, and I include them although the injury probably skewed his numbers. Because the Twins sux, that's why I included them.) Lineups:
Bill Buckners | Phil Cuzzis |
Mookie Betts, RF | Eduardo Nunez, SS |
Dustin Pedroia, 2B | Joe Mauer, DH |
Xander Bogarts, SS | Robbie Grossman, LF |
Big Papi, DH | Plooooooufffe, 3B |
Hanley Ramirez, 1B | Good Hair, 2B |
Jackie Bradley Jr., CF | 박병호, 1B |
Chris Young, LF | Max von Kepler, RF |
Travis Shaw, 3B | Kurt Suzuki, C |
