Carlos Rodn looked back on his time with the White Sox after making his San Francisco Giants debut Thursday against his old team.
And then, he got serious, reflecting on his White Sox career and the road that brought him to the Giants.As he stood on the mound, Rodón looked into the White Sox dugout and saw all the players he developed those relationships with over the years, especially the pitchers who chose to stick around to watch Rodón in that odd black and orange uniform, and to heckle him, as well.“I’m excited for him.
“It’s a hit I’ve seen Tim do three, four hundred times,” Rodón said. “He hits the ball that way. He sees a fastball away. Boom. He takes his hit. It was a good job from him. Pretty normal to watch Tim do that, just on a different side of it.” “He’s a good hitter. Changeup right there and he smoked it to center. Lots of power. A lot of power from Eloy,” said Rodón, who gave up one run on two hits in 2 2/3 innings with four strikeouts.
“It’s hard to leave an organization you’ve played your whole career for. It’s part of the game,” he said. “It’s part of the business. You move on. I’m excited to be a Giant. This is a very, very good organization. It’s good to be a part of a contender, leaving a contender. Playing with the White Sox was a pleasure as well.”
