Yes that could happen that they could get better, but other teams could get better as well, but I’m not going to write the season off before it even starts, or the postseason if somehow they manage a appearance before they even start either.
As I stated before I think most fans would take just getting into the postseason, and take their chances. Your way is why even play the season at all?🙈🤭
Most times you don’t bring someone in to a ballgame unless they are needed. You don’t know whomever you use as an opener on any given day would be needed in the first place.
How do you know that you would even need your #8 BP man in the game at all? Using him as an opener just doesn’t make sense to me. That’s the obvious difference to me.
I think the Red Sox are content at this point to go with what they have now, and hope, and take their chances that things will somehow work out with the rotation.
The point to me is if you just use a starter in the first place you might not even need 1 inning from the Bern Man at all, or any other opener. Nothing clever about that scenario at all.
We’ll see. Pivetta has been good at times before, but he’s never had the consistency over a full season. It’s a contract year too, so sometimes that works out as a good thing.
The point I missed was you saying guarding the 1st, and 3rd base line was the same as the shift. As for the opener in baseball in my opinion it’s the stupidest thing that baseball has come up with.
Exactly. Like I’ve said outside of Gio, Bello, and maybe Pivetta the rest are just cheap options, which the Red Sox love, and probably all of the rest will get a shot at various times this year.
