Not to sound cliche but the loss adds insult to injury

  • Giolito injury or not, I still can't believe Vince Velasquez is getting the home opener. That's absolutely embarrassing for the team during their "World Series Window"

    This is more concerning to me than the pen shitting their pants.

  • Gio misses any sort of significant time, the entire division is up for grabs.  This pitching staff is going to get WORKED with Keuchel, Velasquez and Lopez getting starts.....

He might be protecting his ass without a long term contract. Be conservative with your body.

I'm prepared to hear that this will be a 6 week injury. Anything less will be a pleasant surprise.

I’m in the same boat.  I’m expecting it to be more than a minor day to day thing.  It would be our luck after all. 

 

Gio just spoke, seems nothing major. Felt a few tweaks and said something. Feels ok today.... fingers crossed

 

It's gonna be a rough April

Hopefully that's all it is a start or 2 missed. I really don't want to redo last season with the "Next Man Up" war cry or the Mt. Rushmore collage of faces that kept growing all year to injuries.

Get his ass on the IL then and get another arm up here. Sox need to find a way to find another starter or two that is stretched out and isn’t complete trash asap.

Last year it was position players, this year it's pitchers. We've lost 3 big arms in a span of about 2 weeks. 

10 day IL and miss at least two starts.

Stoney was saying there will be an unprecedented amount of injuries to pitchers this season because of the short ST. "Spring training is for the pitchers not the hitters."

Get Yamamoto in here for a couple starts. He’s in DFA limbo. 

Yeah if he’s unlikely to make his next start they obviously need the extra warm body to sacrifice out of the pen. A 10 day IL trip is basically one missed start.

We do need to go out and look for another starter though.

Target Lucceshi from the Mets

I guess it's because of what has happened with injuries for the last few years, I expected 6-8 weeks.  If it's 2-4 starts, that should be OK.  TLR will need to "eat" some games and not burn pen. 

One thing that makes me not pessimistic right now is, I agree with Stone.  This April/early May is going to be a fiasco for most teams.  There are going to be crazy games with non-MLB pitchers.  Best case for Sox is they get healthy by early May.

Agreed, but the frustrating/scary thing is there’s no limit to how many of your guys can get injured.  Sox have already had some huge pieces get hurt...it doesn’t mean they’re safe from now on.  If our opponents stay healthy for the next few weeks, nearly every pitching matchup is going to see the Sox at a disadvantage.  I would argue the Sox have the worst pitching in the division currently.

Rotation is.... Cease-Kopech-DK-VV-Reylo 

 

Possibly related, but boy does that depth look awfully thin right now....

Oh, I agree, it's frustrating as hell.  It's why I said "not pessimistic" and not "optimistic" ?

Won't be back until late this year, had tommy john last year

Good thing the FO didn't think adding a quality SP was a good idea. Go team!
