Starting rotation

got tix to the Fri. and Sat. games vs. the Twins next week. As far as I know the starting pitchers are still up in the air for those games. I'm assuming Contreras will go Friday, and although its very encouraging that Colon put up a great performance to end spring, I'm really hoping Buehrle goes again next Saturday. Wondering what everyone thinks about who will be pitching next weekend, assuming Monday's game takes place.

Liriano would be Saturday or Sunday...he's getting the OD start instead of Baker, who's now on the DL.

 

Should be:

 

MON: Buehrle vs. Meche

WED: Floyd vs. Greinke

THUR: Danks/Contreras vs. Kyle Davies

FRI: Danks/Contreras vs. RA Dickey (knuckleballer)

SAT: Colon vs. Liriano

SUN: Buerhle vs. Blackburn

That'd be great if the Sox saved Danks for Friday. I don't think Liriano would be a lock for Saturday's game. The Twins may opt to give him the extra day of rest just like the Sox may do with Buehrle

I see us 5-1 or 6-0 after the first week. :headbang

blackburn man-handles us.

 

He was 2-3 with a 4.86 ERA against the Sox in 2008.

 

15 K's vs. 12 BB's in 33 innings; a 1.59 WHIP.

 

And we had a .308 batting average against him.

He did a nice job in two games that last week against us.

 

But we had man-handled him before that.

i guess that's what stuck out in my head. i tend to just post w/ my gut then let you folks who are willing to do the research prove me wrong. :)

I like the idea of Contreras against the Royals and Danks against the Twins (building off the final game last season)....I don't know about the career numbers, but Jose (seemingly) has pitched better against the Royals than most AL teams in his career.

 

It's going to be interesting to see what happens to the knuckleball in such cold weather conditions...he will give up 5 walks and 7 runs or pitch a shutout it seems. However, it seems like it should be at least 45-55 or maybe even 60 by the end of the week.
