Okay, maybe that headline is misleading since Carlos isn't turning over a new leaf at all. Just don't go comparing us to some clickbait nonesense about how you'll never believe what this one person you don't care about it did. I NEVER CARED AND I CAN BELIEVE IT. Anyway, Mr. Carlos Rodon was originally regarded as the top pitching prospect for fantasy owners in 2015 and he has been so dang disappointing. The crux of his issues is an affinity for walks, as he entered last night's start with a ghastly 5.31 BB/9, the worst such mark among SPs with at least 80 IP. Well, he didn't care about that Tuesday's evening as he featured a line of 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 4 Hits, 1 BB, 11 Ks and showed us why we loved him in the first place. Now, I don't this is "a brand new Rodon" so be careful touching that hot hot hot plate of goodness. Rodon had allowed 19 ER in his last four starts combined, and featured a FIP and xFIP of 4.00 despite a stellar 9.57 K/9. He's the third rate Danny Salazar, or a second rate Taijuan Walker. If you've got nothing to lose, sure, go for it. But for the rest of us, let him be someone else's headache for the final stretch of the season.
Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
