You nailed it. The pitching on this team is lousy, at best! Unless something changes soon, I think we are looking at a .500 team. They were very fortunate last year. Not seeing the same this year.

Red Sox are not alone in that aspect.


Cole/Severino*/Taillon*/Montgomery/Cortes


*massive injury risks


Not feeling this rotation as presently constituted. Hope I'm wrong but it really feels like they need to somehow pry a #2 or #3 off somebody asap

I'd take that rotation over the Red Sox right now! Who knows what Sale will have left. Eovaldi is due to get blown up, Wacha (Wacha Wacha Wacha - only thing I can think of) and guy who hit Stanton from the Monstah

 

[Cyder]

They won 92 last year. Are they any worse this time around?? I wouldn’t bet the under and feel too comfortable....

Stanton and Judge were both healthy last year. Not sure that's going to happen again.

And can Cortes do that again?

Right.

He might just be Aaron Small redux

If Stanton, Judge, Donaldson , Rizzo stay healthy that definitely a scary lineup

Not to mention Hicks who also can't stay healthy. D.J. was also injured last year. Awful lot of ifs

I'm more concerned about the pitching. The bats are fine

I can see tha
If you guys hang around in the race Im sure you will make a trade at the deadline to help this

Injuries happen in a 162 game season. I get more concerned about the injury prone guy such as Hicks and Stanton more than a guy like DJ

Heard reports on the Michael Kay show yesterday that Yanks were in discussion with Oakland about Manea and Montas

I'm expecting D.J. to bounce back but it's still an if as to whether he does or not. Chapman also had a lousy 2nd half so yet one more if. Had the highest WHIP and ERA of his career after an incredible start

What happened to Deivi Garcia? I thought there was a lot of excitement around him a year ago. Also, isn’t German in the mix for the rotation, too? Is he bot healthy? I still like your mix better than the “Eovaldi and pray for rain” rotation that the Sox are currently featuring.

I’d bet on Judge in his walk year, but Stanton??? Not likely.

I never been a big fan of Chapman

 

[chappee11]

That Kris Bryant contract has to be among the worst I’ve ever seen. The Rockies might already be trying to move that contract....

 

[Cyder]

I never been a big fan of Chapman

He's been terrible in big spots and literally all of last year after the first month or so. I left out one more injury prone guy, Jon Loaisiga. He was great last year but never stays healthy for extended periods.

The Yanks have really soured on Garcia. German will be in the mix

He was horrible last year. Posted a 6.85 ERA in 22 starts

He was even worse in Scranton
