Go way back to 2013. I was hoping his bouncebackability was strong. You do believe in bouncebackability don't you. It does happen.
He's three games in. 1 great, 1 bad, and one good that could have been bad. IF he continues doing that, I will be ok with Buch. He will be on the list marked "can we trade for better". And I think he is going to be fighting for the 5th spot in the rotation with Masterson.
Devils advocate in this game today, one ground ball hit to an infielder instead of a hole changes the whole mood of Buchs outing. If the Sox scored the average runs per game then they would have won.
I don't think anyone really thought Buch would be an ace, and if they did they probably thought the likely hood of that would come true at about a 10 percent chance. I don't think most Sox fans believe the hype, we've seen too much ********.
