BOSTON -- Shortly after Thursday night's game, struggling left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez walked into Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell's office, the door closing behind him, and proceeded to get tips from Farrell and pitching coach Carl Willis.
Foremost among them: Beware of tipping pitches.
A problem last year during Rodriguez's otherwise promising rookie season, it appears to have reared its head again for the 24-year-old.
