smellysox Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Velasquez as a 5th starter absolutely ugly. Now I understand the urgency in TLR's "hopefully soon" comment regarding how long until Cueto joins this team from AAA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 So strange that opening day is actually upon us in the beginning of April… in 2022 from the year of our Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although pitchers generally have the advantage over hitters in the beginning. I was just telling my brother a few days ago that I thought Banks looked like the real deal. I like this move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Keuchel for the home opener is slightly better than Velasquez? Maybe? Either way I feel bad for the fans that dropped serious $ to watch that shit show in person. Edited April 6, 2022 by Tnetennba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT least for the beginning of the season with both the starting and relief pitching. The injury to Lynn just underscored the fact that the Sox never converted on their stated goals to improve the starting pitcher. The Kopech delay from Covid didn't help either. The injuries to Crochet and Kelly hurt both the high end late innings relief while the Crochet injury and 2 missing pieces impacted the back end long relief guys if Lopez has to start any games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there will probably be nobody to boo him on the 2nd day when there's maybe 10k in the crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 4/4/2022 at 3:35 PM, SonofaRoache said: What if we re-signed Rodon for 18 mil. Then his arm gets injured because he is always hurt. Then Lynn still gets hurt. Rodon should have been brought back on the QO, but most of the reason he is not back is because of health. 2 hours ago, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: AT least for the beginning of the season with both the starting and relief pitching.

pcq Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Not really sure how Velasquez won the fifth spot. Must have been a limbo contest and a very low bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more by default. Not like the Sox have a plethora of options. I guess I probably would have gone with ReyLo myself, but my guess is they're saving ReyLo to piggyback Kopech.
