With the exception of perhaps Eduardo Rodriguez himself, nobody was more frustrated with Eduardo Rodriguez's performance Monday at Tropicana Field than Dustin Pedroia.

After watching Rodriguez serve up five runs in the first against the Tampa Bay Rays, the longtime Boston Red Sox second baseman gave the young left-hander a noticeably animated pep talk during a second-inning mound visit that appeared to include several F-bombs.

Pedroia, after all, has seen quite a bit of this of late. Since returning from the disabled list in late May, Rodriguez has managed a 6.41 ERA in five starts, allowing at least four runs in each of his last four outings.
