July 9, 20214 yr Looks like the starter next Friday will be on schedule to pitch in Iowa on August 12. Kinda feel like Giolito is owed it after last season’s cancellation. Giolito, Keuchel, Cease, Lynn, Rodon Good?
July 9, 20214 yr I would skip Lynn from pitching against Houston, he always sucks against them. If both Lynn and Rodon pitch in the ASG, they should be on regular rest by Sunday. I'd go Giolito, Cease, Rodon, Lynn, Keuchel.
July 9, 20214 yr There is a DH vs MIN on Tuesday and an off day 2 days later, so the Sox could go with two regular starters for the DH or they could use Kopech for one and give everybody an extra day's rest. I'd lean toward using Kopech.

July 9, 20214 yr Yes, i like the Giolito, keuchel, cease for the Astros series. The doubleheader is actually Monday so lynn and Rodon could both go in that day if desired. Kopech could go then either one of those games or the Tuesday.
July 9, 20214 yr Couple little tweaks: 1. Spiderman, 2. Kopech (for Keuchel), 3. Dunning (trade Cease, Crochet, Sheets for Dunning and Gallo), 4. Lynn, 5. Rodon Boom
July 13, 20214 yr I think the rotation will be:- 1) Giolito 2) Keuchel 3) Cease 4) Rodon (Pitching 1st game of DH) Kopech pitching 2nd game of DH 5) Lynn I reckon Rodon will be out for the lower innings game and go 5 innings or less to conserve his arm.
July 13, 20214 yr I’d love to add a swing guy and move to six man rotation before the playoffs. Not sure our bullpen can handle it

Not sure our bullpen can handle it Normally I would kind of laugh at this, but with Cease, Rodon, Kopech, and Crochet up against some pretty serious innings history a swing man AND a long reliever to suck up innings is a really good idea.
July 13, 20214 yr I'm going to the game Sunday, and I honestly don't know who I'd like to see pitch. Probably Rodon since it's against the Astros. Normally, I'd love to be at a game when Lynn pitches, but he's struggled against the Astros. But, if Lynn and Rodon pitch in the all star game, I could see a rotation of Giolito, Keuchel, Cease, Lynn, Rodon to start the second half.
