Newcomb was NOT great yesterday. However, Bello starts tonight for WOO and Giolito starts tomorrow for WOO. No Sox game so you may want to check out Bello's start if you have the option.
That is not the magic super two date. Super two status wasn't until June 26 last season. It's typically the last week of May through the middle of June. It varies each year.
Some previous few years:
2022: May 28th
2021: June 9th
2020: May 31st
2019: June 10th
2018: May 22nd
Over the past 9 regular season games, he has struck out 26 times. He has only been elite at striking out. There's is no way this is simply a "rocky start." There's something wrong.
Devers' last 9 regular season games:
1-34, 26K, 5 BB
They shut him down last year after he went 1-15 with 11 k's. He's current stretch is worse. There's no way his shoulder is ok.
It's great that Whitlock is pitching well. They need to really manage his healthy. Campbell would be a great #2 hitter behind Duran at some point. Don't want to make that adjustment just yet though.
Wong is really rough up there and has a backup that is much better behind the plate. More Narvaez please!
