Lopez would definitely be good with them. He's been very good with the Sox! But if he has to stay in the rotation for an extended period of time, would Tony be willing to cap him at 3-4 innings or would he require more length? 3-4 innings is the role Keuchel should be in at this point but we see how Tony handles him.

FoxForce2 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The Philadelphia Hernandez would be a big plus. Just looking at his career numbers, it looks like he has hit an age 30 wall. In his case the 60's trope 'don't trust anyone over 30' looks like a prophecy. He's still handling the field though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think Darvish is good, but he's been worse than Arrieta since the sticky ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you keep hitting batters during a single game, you'd get suspended. It's odd he's able to skate around the rules because he doesn't pitch long enough for them to pile up in 1 outing. Imagine if a starter was hitting a batter every other inning. Of course they'd be suspended if they couldn't get that under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some people joking how it's crazy that Wright got tossed yesterday for not being able to locate pitches, but Adams gets to hit multiple guys a game without any penalty.
