mvp 78

Pushed back a day due to weather, but LFG! @SoxNotes Nathan Eovaldi would become only the 12th pitcher to make 3 consecutive Opening Day starts for the Red Sox: Jon Lester Pedro Martinez Roger Clemens Dennis Eckersley Luis Tiant Bill Monbouquette Mel Parnell Wes Ferrell Babe Ruth Smoky Joe Wood Cy Young

I like net saves, but am not sold on quality starts.

I was only looking at regular season numbers. Being 0-2 with 8IP and 7 ER isn't a great look though.

I think I've seen Cole pitch enough times against the Sox and just look human that I don't see him as a top tier guy. Last year he had a 165 tOPS+ vs the Sox.

And when will Sixto start his first game this year?

WOOSox are 1-0. Fitzgerald hit a HR, 2R. Duran had 2 hits. DHern went 2 2/3. Kyle Hart was on the bump when all 5 runs scored. Holland/Kelly/Ort all pitched scoreless innings.

He was pretty good in 16 and 17. I'm not sure how he learned to get his bb% that low last year, but we'll have to see if he can repeat it. His fastball was harder last year than it had been since 2016. Per statcast, his HR numbers should get worse playing in Seattle. I don't know. I'm just a little skeptical because of how bumpy he's been at times. I think he's a good 2 or 3 starter, but not as an ace.

He'd be 7th behind Sale.

I'm pretty sure everyone needs pitching. It's the one thing I end up micromanaging all year.

Sanchez is less durable than Eovaldi.

I'm not a Robbie Ray believer.

I'm not sure the Yanks have a top 10 rotation.

2022 FCL Squad making a run during the 6th inning of today's MLB game (7 runs). Juan Chacon single Johnfrank Salazar double Bryan Gonzalez SF Ahbram Liendo single Darel Belen walk Migues Bleis walk Ronald Rosario single (ties game) Juan Chacon walk Johnfrank Salazar walk Luis Ravelo single

It could be a big gulp depending on how the other guys pitch.

What a motley crew the Sox have assembled. They have Eovaldi at the top of the rotation after a mid-career breakthrough in both durability and effectiveness. Sale might be incredible – he usually is – but how many innings he’ll throw is an open question. He’s starting the season on the 60-day IL with a fractured rib. And those two are the safe options! Can Pivetta and Houck pitch to their talent level, giving the Sox two innings-eating mid-rotation arms? Can Hill spin curveballs past batters yet again? Is Wacha better than the 5-ERA, 5-FIP pitcher he’s looked like for the past three years? Is Paxton’s elbow intact? I couldn’t tell you the answers to any of those questions, and I doubt Boston’s coaching staff could either. I can talk myself into this group cobbling together a good performance in aggregate, particularly if Whitlock chips in a few starts when he’s not excelling in relief. But that assumes health and effectiveness from five of the seven pitchers I just named, and the reason that the Sox were able to acquire many of them is that either their health or effectiveness is in doubt. It could be another long season of early pitching changes in Boston, but if they spike some injury luck, it could also be an excellent year. I think you could talk me into taking teams 13-15 ahead of the Sox (Marlins, Angels, Rays).

Konerko had only 2 seasons that were better than France's 2021 and both of those were less than 10% better than France's 2021.

I mean... If you look at fWAR and wRC+...
