Red Sox will regret not acquiring a starter at the deadline

[southpaw777]

Bennett and Tolle will both hit a wall. There’s a month and a half left in the regular season, nevermind playoff innings.
Crochet will most likely be a bullpen arm and not stretched out to be a starter in October. Sandoval has been out two years so durability and stamina are LEGIT concerns.

So it’s Gray, Suarez (who’s not looked good since returning from the IL), Sandoval, and the wildcard Brayan Bello. Can Bello start again and have success?.. Is this what this team was going to rely on going into the playoffs? 
a lot of people wanted and said we needed another starter like we did in 2013 with Jake Peavy. Not a top guy, but a good solid starter that can handle the workload and take some innings from the others down the stretch. 
we’re going to have to hope the offense, with the additions of Adley Rucshman and a returning Roman Anthony, can carry us on some nights.
Besides a good bullpen arm, they didn’t address pitching, and personally, I think they will regret it.

Miles Mikolas got DFAd today.  Problem solved.  Unless you want a starter that doesn’t suck.

I suppose the MLB debuts of Holobetz and/or Wehunt might happen in the near future…

I'd take either over Mikolas TBH. Holobetz is still 30 IP under his career high.

One sicko even thinks we should of gave gotten Sean Manea, but that same sicko has confessed to being partial towards Samoans.  Pew. Pew.

FWIW Sean Manaea is on a streak of four straight quality starts, posting an ERA of 2.16 over 25 innings.
