Last night was another incredible pitching night highlighted with an Ortiz homer. This is baseball I can get used to. Eight strikeouts. Beautiful pitches. And it didn’t end with Beckett.
The most amazing thing right now about the Red Sox is our depth. Beckett looked like he could have pitched another inning, he left after 93 pitches. But why keep him in not when you have Delcarmen with a 1.07 ERA? And after some moments of locally made Boston perfection, why not throw in Ramirez? Yes, we can wear our Ramirez shirts again, it’s just a matter of some duct tape. And finally for dessert Farrell throw in a little portion of Bard. Why not? That kid was the chocolate soufflé of the night. Two pitches at 100mph. There was not time too hate the Yankees, only time to love the Sox.
And it doesn’t end here either. Look at Buchholz in Pawtucket. Our depth extends to our farm teams. The question is quickly becoming what are we going to do with all of this pitching depth. Buchholz can’t stay in Pawtucket forever; it’s just not fair to the major league.
I don’t want to give any answers; I’m enjoying the question too much.
