5th/6th starters discussion (ongoing)

For all starters not named Giolito, Lynn, Kopech, Cease and Keuchel…the optimal goal would be a .500 record in these games, although .450-.475 is perhaps more likely.

 

Team Record 1-2

Velasquez (0-1), 8 2/3 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 6 BB, 7 K’s=4.15 ERA
Lambert (0-1), 3 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, BB, K=6.00 ERA

 

Total…11 2/3 IP, 9 H, 6 ER, 7 BB, 8 K’s.  4.63 ERA. 1.37 WHIP.

 

About as good as could possibly be expected so far, right?  (Looks pretty similar to what we're HOPING to get out of Keuchel, actually.)

I thought Lambert did ok but last night the bats couldn't carry him. I may be wrong but I thought he pitched a little better than the bare stats and Velasquez was a little worse than his bare stats, but if we get away with a .500 record in their combined starts then we will be doing very well!

First Sox starter to give up more than 3 runs.

Michael Wacha @ $7 million >>> VV and Cueto

 

Plus we are about to destroy the bullpen before two important divisional series on the road.

Just about all teams are leaning heavily on RP thus far. Not many starters are going past 5 innings.  At least VV got 4+ innings.

Bullpen is not destroyed just because Severino gets a day off.

Well, this was said in the first inning when it looked like VV wasn't even going to escape that situation...

They used mostly the back end and guys who won't even be on the roster in a month, but it's looking quite likely they will have at least one doubleheader this week.
