Red Sox rookie Eduardo Rodriguez (otherwise known as .EDU) has had an odd start to his MLB career. Across his 10 outings, had six starts allowing 1 ER or fewer, one of 2 ER, and after tonight's line of 1.2 IP, 7 ER, 6 Hits, 3 BBs, 0 Ks, he holds three games of 6 ER or more. Even more interesting is that in each of those blowup starts, he's allowed at least 6 ER in a single frame. Man, it's incredibly frustrating as an owner to watch Erod struggle like this. He absolutely dominates opponents about 90% of the time, and then it all falls apart in a blink of an eye to ruin your day. There was talk of him tipping pitches, and it's possible that has returned again, but three walks aren't making it easy to be favorable moving forward. His stuff is fantastic, which makes me believe that he will figure it out, but that may make him a mid-late round pick in next season's draft, and not the flyer you want finishing the season. If you're in the middle of the pack and need a high upside guy to give you a shot, Eddie is your guy. If you're on top and looking to stay there, I'd try to find more dependable options.
