He has never been anyone's #2. Last year, he pitched like a #6. He can fill a very useful role as a #4 who eats innings, spells the bullpen and puts up a few wins along the way. If everything breaks right for him and he pitches like a #3, I will genuflect, bless myself and give thanks. He is not a #2. He just doesn't have that kind of stuff, never has and that will not change in his 7th full major league season.

When he was with the Tigers, he lived consistently low in the zone. We haven't seen that guy at all.

Porcello is a #4. He is a sinkerballer who has found a liking for the Home Run ball since we got him. I am not going to hold my breath waiting for him to pitch like a #2. Last year he pitched like a #6. He has a useful role to fill in the 4th slot, and if things break the right way and he pitches like a #3, I will genuflect, bless myself and give thanks.

It's not too early to make a judgment about the rotation. If you wait too long, you can find your self in a desperate situation like last year. ERod if healthy has the potential to pitch like a #2, but that is not a sure thing. Buch will pitch only through June.Let's not kid ourselves. Porcello is a #4/5 with a possibility of a #3 if everything falls into place for him. He is not a #2.

This lineup should make Hembree look good.
-
Enigmas.
-
Remy calling the move to take Kelly out of the game -- a no brainer. That is the only kind of move that Farrell can make.
-
Buch will be walking off the mound in less than 2 months.
-
They are showing DD in his box. He had better start working the phone and get us a starter.
-
Tampa has a very weak lineup. Hopefully, our starters can chew up some innings against them. Well it looks like brittle Kelly will start his stint on the DL pretty soon.
-
Or Farrell's brain should be DL'd.

4/18 vs. Blue Jays: Patriot's Day

We need Good Buch this season, and today we got Great Buch. The lineup without Ortiz and Holt but with Young was flat, but people will make the excuse about how dominant Happ was. Eyeroll. Shaw is just flat out earning his spot on this team every single game. He can play 1B and 3B more than adequately. He can hit RHP and LHP. He is a good everyday player. Koji looks like there is nothing left in his tank. His first pitch was 79 mph and he threw other non-breaking balls at 81 mph. Most concerning is that he has always been a strike throwing machine. His ball to strike ratio was pathetic today. Dumbass Farrell put Kimbrell in a tight spot from which he did not escape. -

Joe Torre once hit into 4 DPs in a game I think. He blamed Felix Milan for getting on base in front of him. -
I wonder if there have been any pitchers to successfully return to the bigs after having this procedure.
-
Hopefully, his contract is insured.

Welcome. Any friend of Spud's is a friend ... of Spud's.
-
That is big time.
-
The bullpen was a steaming pile of garbage last year. That we had an immediate need was not hyperbole at all.
-
He looks ready to me, and whether it was 8 games, 12 or 20 is irrelevant. It was not a panic move. CV was ready.
-
You are a good egg.
-
Not all of them are funny, but some are very funny.
-
He's an imbecile.
-
And people have posted the same type of sentiments the last time when Young played against RHP. At some point, it is not a coincidence.
-
I don't think the 3 k's today are going to help him at all.
