I can't wait till Carlos Rodon gets on the bump officially for the Yankees. We need this guy big time. Luckily, he is getting closer and closer to returning. The New York Post wrote of his latest simulated stint... and it sounds like a good one:
"The $162 million left-hander threw a second live batting-practice session on Sunday afternoon, and ... it went well as he closes in on a long-awaited rehab assignment.Rodon, coming back from a forearm muscle strain and back discomfort, threw 29 pitches over two simulated innings and had no issues, with his fastball ranging between 93-96 mph.
“The fastball life was as good as we’ve seen it, so an encouraging step,” said pitching coach Matt Blake, who noted Rodon was sitting 92-93 mph in his first live session on Wednesday."
Closer and closer baby... that's what we want. Remember when Jomboy media mentioned in May that bullshit story from "unverified and unsourced" that said Rodon wasn't gonna pitch and not to get our hopes up? In the world for Fake news, that may be the worst thing you can do.
I'll stick with real news. Sure, it's a slow process, sometimes frustrating, but Rodon wants to be out there more than anyone.
One day at the time. Looking forward to this big lug getting out there!
