Ducksnort Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Okay, great comeback win on Saturday night. Extremely quick turnaround though so getting this thread going the night before. We are going for the sweep and SIX in a row! Odds aren't entirely in our favor with Kuechel (1-3, 8.40 era) up against Wacha (3-0, 1.38 era). But I'm as optimistic as anyone! First pitch 10:35 CT on Sunday morning. You can watch on Peacock or NBC (not NBCSC...the actual NBC channel). Let's get a sweep! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Mercedes Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The Sox are smart. Winning the series before Kuechel takes the mound. This should always be done before Gas Can starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoeless_joe21 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 If Kuechel gets annihilated to the point of losing his spot in the rotation, I'm still counting it as the 6th win in a row. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was due to some kind of festival they do in Boston every year. I don't know if that's the same reason for today's early start though.

I think last year it was because of Patriots’ Day/Boston Marathon. That already happened this year…I believe this early start can be blamed on the peacock broadcasting nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, it was on a Monday and it was for that day they run the Boston Marathon (forgot what they call that day) which already happened. I think it’s because it’s the Peacock Sunday game.

It's OK to start Keuchel provided Plan B is ready in the bullpen after one or two innings. He was also a victim of leaky gloves. He needs a miracle fix from Coach Katz.

But if he gets lit up again, I agree. At some point, it makes no sense basically forfeiting all his starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even last year, the lineup was twice as imposing despite Robert and Jimenez being out. Seems almost hopeless at times. So in theory, Wacha is due for a lousy start today just like Pivetta had his best yesterday. Or Keuchel just by the law of averages will finally have a decent start.
